[00:14] <lars> I can*t find the DVD source plugin for my CD and DVD player
[00:14] <lars> I have two CD/DVD players hooked up to my PC
[00:15] <lars> One of them used to only work with audio files, but the new one works fine:  I tested it on Windows, so I know it works
[00:16] <lars> Kubuntu said it would search for the plugin, but I never saw it searching, so the DVD source plugin is still missing
[00:18] <lars> Which is the support room for Kubuntu?
[00:21] <lars> Because I had so much trouble with my old iptical drive, I hooked up an external optical drive to this PC
[00:22] <lars> I*m running Kubuntu 12.04
[00:23] <Walzmyn> lars: what do you mean source plugin?
[00:24] <lars> I need a source plugin for my CD player to work
[00:25] <lars> The external optical drive I hooked up is RetailPlus External Double-Layer 20x DVD+/-RW Writer
[00:25] <Walzmyn> plugin to what?
[00:26] <lars> My PC already has a built in CD player, but itś really tricky to get it to play DVDs
[00:26] <Walzmyn> a CD player can't play DVDs, they use different lasers
[00:26] <lars> I need the DVD source plugin, I have no idea why
[00:27] <lars> itś a CD/DVD player built into the PC
[00:27] <Walzmyn> what's telling you need a plugin?
[00:27] <lars> yes
[00:27] <Walzmyn> 'what' is not a yes or no question
[00:27] <lars> but Kubuntu pretends to search for the plugin, but it never really does
[00:27] <lars> Kubuntu is telling me
[00:28] <lars> when I tried to play the DVD on Dragon Player
[00:29] <Walzmyn> dragon player, ding. That's what we needed. Give VLC a try. or Kaffeine
[00:30] <Walzmyn> I have no idea why dragon player has been made the default. Kaffeine seems to work much better
[00:30] <lars> VLC works better, but I still can
[00:30] <lars> cannot play DVDs on VLC
[00:31] <lars> should I uninstall Dragon Player before I install VLC player?
[00:31] <Walzmyn> no, they have no conflict
[00:31] <lars> ok
[00:31] <Walzmyn> I think I might understand your problem, now. Gimme a sec
[00:32] <lars> oh yeah, it said question search Qappt codec search
[00:34] <Walzmyn> here, lars, see if this will solve your issue http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
[00:34] <lars> Question-QApt Codec Search...   ...The following plugin is required...DVD source....Do you want to search for this now?
[00:34] <lars> ok, Iĺl check the link...
[00:35] <Walzmyn> gotta go put kids to bed. G'luck
[00:36] <lars> should I install it from the Muon software centre inst34ead?
[00:37] <Walzmyn> no, just copy paste that into a terminal. You're needing to add a reppoitory so it's not in the software center until you run those commands
[00:38] <lars> which commands?
[00:38] <lars> I thought I saw it in the Muon software centre
[00:40] <lars> yes, itś in there, provided by Ubuntu
[00:46] <lars> I successfully installed VLC Media Player, but I still can*t play DVDs
[00:48] <Pici> 70
[00:48] <Pici> &)
[00:50] <lars> Kubuntu recognizes the DVD and its name and correct format, and everything works except the DVD won*t play
[00:54] <lars> The audio CD I put in is recognized better but it won*t play either
[00:57] <lars> I got the same plugin problem, this time with the audio CD
[00:58] <lars> Question-QApt Codec Search...   ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now?
[01:00] <lars> I click on ÿes", then it searches for plugins, then I can hear it stop searching after like 5 seconds, and nothing happens, it still doesn*t play
[01:02] <lars> Kubuntu recognizes all of the files on the audio CD, just like it did with the DVD, but it cannot play anything
[01:05] <lars> I can open files: docs and pics, but I cannot play any CD or DVDs using either my internal or external optical drives
[01:06] <lars> I had a computer programmer get the internal optical drive to work to play movies and audio files, but that was before I had upgraded to a new system
[01:07] <lars> Hey, may be I need to look for the drivers for particular external optical drive that Iḿ using
[01:08] <lars> It came with a CD with drivers and software on it, but that*s for Windows
[01:09] <lars> How do you download and install software withou using the Muon Software Centre?
[01:09] <lars> is there anyone in this room?
[01:13] <lars> this is a test
[01:14] <lars> Anyone here?
[01:15] <lars> is there anyone in this channel?
[01:16] <dougl> yes
[01:16] <dougl> lars, what r your option?
[01:17] <dougl> sudo apt-get install mc
[01:19] <lars> for what?
[01:19] <lars> what does mc stand for?
[01:26] <dougl> mc is a package for midnight commander... will let you manage sourcecode gz files easier
[01:27] <dougl> you asked a loaded  question I am  going to overwhelm you with 3 of the more popular ways to install software without muon
[01:28] <dougl> you will need midinight commander to follow some of my instructions
[01:37] <lars> I don8t think I have midnight commander
[01:39] <lars> I still can*t get my optical drives to work
[01:46] <lars> Kubuntu can find the plugins I need to play CDs and DVDs
[01:47] <lars> I mean ¨can*t¨ find the plugins
[01:47] <lars> Kubuntu cannot find the plugins I need to play audio CDs and video DVDs
[01:47] <lars> Question-QApt Codec Search...   ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now?
[01:49] <lars> the searches never come up with anything
[01:51] <lars> is there anyone here?
[02:35] <lars> is there anyone here?
[02:59] <DarthFrog> !restricted
[03:00] <DarthFrog> lars: install  kubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:02] <lars> you mean that will solve my problem, DarthFrog?
[03:02] <DarthFrog> I would think so.
[03:03] <DarthFrog> Plus also read the info I had the bot give you above.
[03:04] <lars> I wasn trying to run restricted formats: itś a more serious problem with my CD player, I think
[03:05] <lars> It doesn matter which DVD or CD I put into my optical drive, my PC can*t play anything
[03:05] <DarthFrog> Hardware issue?
[03:05] <lars> possibly
[03:05] <lars> but I Russian guy got it to work a few years ago
[03:05] <DarthFrog> Years?
[03:06] <DarthFrog> Get a new one.
[03:06] <lars> Yeah, like two or three years ago
[03:06] <lars> I did
[03:06] <lars> I bought a new external drive
[03:06] <lars> But I know the internal drive works, because i can open files with it
[03:07] <lars> I can copy and paste files from DVDs and CDs with the internal optical drive
[03:07] <lars> but I cannot play anything with either my internal optical drive or my external optical drive
[03:08] <lars> The Russian programmer got it working, but I do not know how he did it, and that was before I installed new software
[03:08] <lars> that was when I was running Kubuntu 11.04
[03:09] <lars> Now Iḿ using Kubuntu 12.04
[03:10] <DarthFrog> Is kio-audiocd installed?  if not, install it.
[03:10] <DarthFrog> !kio-audiocd
[03:11] <lars> Whatś that?
[03:11] <lars> Can I install it using Muon Software Centre?
[03:12] <DarthFrog> Yes
[03:12] <lars> Thatś just for audio CDs, what about DVDs?
[03:12] <DarthFrog> I don't know what your issue is so I can't give you specific answers.
[03:12] <lars> I would like to play DVD videos too, but itś not necessary
[03:13] <DarthFrog> !libdvdcss
[03:13] <lars> I can only open docs and pics with my optical drive
[03:14] <lars> Itś not a legal issue, itś a technical problem
[03:14] <lars> But I will try kio
[03:15] <DarthFrog> If you want to play encrypted DVD videos (i.e. movies) you will need to jump through some hoops.  Those links will help you put on your jumpsuit. :-)
[03:16] <DarthFrog> As for playing audio CDs, it should just work out of the box.  I'm fairly surprised that it isn't for you.
[03:16] <lars> Ok, I don*t really need to play DVD movies, but Iĺl see if I can get the audio working with the links you gabve me
[07:11] <soee> good morning
[07:50] <codeforfun> I just updated from Kubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 I can't boot
[07:50] <codeforfun> due to NVIDIA driver
[07:50] <codeforfun> what can I do?
[07:50] <codeforfun> I have nvidia 319
[07:51] <valorie> !nvidia | codeforfun
[07:52] <codeforfun> Xorg gives Segmentaion fault at address 0x0
[07:53] <valorie> you had no problem like this in 13.04?
[08:08] <codeforfun> no problem whatsoever
[08:21] <codeforfun> X doesn't want to start by itself
[08:21] <codeforfun> I have to start it manually
[08:22] <codeforfun> and then it works
[08:24] <codeforfun> or not
[08:24] <codeforfun> its using vesa driver
[08:24] <codeforfun> fucking nvidia
[08:24] <codeforfun> even though lsmod shows nvidia its not working
[08:24] <codeforfun> Why windows don't have the top bar?
[08:25] <codeforfun> I can't see th top bar with minimize/maximize/close etc
[08:42] <codeforfun> wtf I had not KDM
[08:42] <codeforfun> *wtf I had no KDM
[08:43] <codeforfun> somehow it got uninstalled
[08:43] <codeforfun> I with the NVIDIA 331 driver from sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa and after I installed KDM it works
[08:43] <codeforfun> except by thunderbird configuration is gone?
[08:49] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:18] <svenstar> Hi I have a question about virtual desktops and Kubuntu 14.04.  Although I go to my settings and choose 4 desktops the 4 little "blocks"  that represent them next to the K at the bottom left do not appear although I can switch between them with  ctrl/F1 etc....
[09:19] <svenstar> How can I get those little block Icons in the bottom panel back?
[09:19] <qdata> maybe you don't have the plasma widget
[09:19] <qdata> unlock widgets, add the pager widget
[09:22] <qdata> when widgets are unlocked you'll see the cashew thingy at the right edge, usually to the right of the clock
[09:22] <qdata> clock that and a bar pops up, then click the Add Widgets  tab
[09:23] <svenstar> never needed to do that before but I'll take a look
[09:23] <qdata> I just did a new install of 13.10 and it wasn't there so I had to add it
[09:25] <svenstar> yea OK it's a little blue square but it just minimises/maximises my current open app when I click on it
[09:25] <svenstar> no switching  between desktops
[09:25] <qdata> the little blue square is the Show Desktop widget
[09:26] <svenstar> strange those little block always just appeard
[09:26] <qdata> yeah - oversight left it out I think
[09:26] <qdata> add the Pager widget and move it to where you want it
[09:26] <qdata> and it'll be back
[09:28] <svenstar> well there is plenty of time before 14.04 is released but I was just a bit stumped as the desktop blocks went AWOL
[09:28] <svenstar> thanx for the assistance
[09:29] <qdata> :-)

[13:13] <eagles0513875> valorie: hey how are you
[13:14] <BluesKaj> what issue is that , eagles0513875?
[13:14] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: trackpad not working
[13:14] <eagles0513875> the system detects it but it doesnt work one bit
[13:14] <eagles0513875> its got the necessary drievers installed
[13:15] <BluesKaj> sorry eagles0513875 , I bought a minimouse , can't stnd trackpads ...assume synaptiks is installed
[13:16] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:16] <eagles0513875> i have a mini mouse too but what if i forget it for example im screwed with out the trackpad
[13:17] <eagles0513875> ya xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is already installed
[13:17] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: ^
[13:18] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: do i file a bug against synaptics?
[13:20] <BluesKaj> synaptiks , not synaptics ..yes
[13:20] <eagles0513875> its ics not ks
[13:21] <eagles0513875> i apt-cache search for synaptiks and it doesnt exist
[13:21] <eagles0513875> brb going to reboot
[13:21] <BluesKaj> nope look in muon
[13:22] <BluesKaj> !synaptiks
[13:22] <BluesKaj> synaptiks touchpad configuration tool. this package contains a configuration tool for touchpads. The package provides a kcm module (for systemsettings), as well as a plasma widget and kded module to help managing touchpads, especially in KDE environments.
[13:25] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, then you don't have synaptiks installed, because it shows here
[13:37] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: what release are you on
[13:38] <BluesKaj> 14.04
[13:38] <eagles0513875> ahh yes there it is
[13:38] <eagles0513875> it goes by a different name BluesKaj
[13:38] <eagles0513875> kde-config-touchpad
[13:38] <eagles0513875> which my system is telling me is already installed
[13:39] <BluesKaj> yeah , but if you type synaptiks in muon search the touchpad app comes up
[13:39] <eagles0513875> i use command line lol
[13:39] <eagles0513875> which in muon its showing installed
[13:40] <BluesKaj> muon is a good reference for apps , I seldom use it to install , but it's great when apps names have been changed
[13:41] <eagles0513875> apt-cache search does a good job if you can figure out a keyword

[15:03] <dougl> we are ready - tree was up early for the smell and decorating is closer to last minute... the needles are already falling off but smells great in here.
[15:04] <BluesKaj> heh, the needle fall is why we wait
[15:05] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, did you get synaptiks installed ?
[15:06] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: its been installed and still nothing
[15:06] <eagles0513875> so something deeper down must be taking place
[15:06] <dougl> BluesKaj, the needles and the epileptic dog are why we have hardwoods - lol

[15:21] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, there isn't much documentation on launchpad about either synaptiks or kde-config-touchpad after 2012
[15:22] <eagles0513875> i was going to file a bug linking to other forums etc of people with the same issue
[15:23] <BluesKaj> file one , it's needed , there seem to be probs with the touchpad on kubuntu lately ...altho I personally didn't have it
[15:24] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, 13.10 >

[15:26] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: mines an elantech touch pad though
[15:26] <eagles0513875> yours probably isnt
[15:28] <BluesKaj> yeah eagles0513875, this laptop isn't exactly TOTL , but the build quality seems decent for the money
[15:28] <eagles0513875> this one is quite decent
[15:28] <eagles0513875> as well more high end and good for development
[17:16] <eagles0513875> !teamviewer
[18:00] <darklight_> Is some brave soul already running 14.04 alpha1 ?
[18:05] <rberg> has anybody here used akonadi with a postgresql db?
[18:05] <genii> darklight_: I am
[18:06] <darklight_> genii: is it already usable ? last time I tried a *buntu alpha it was rough to say the least
[18:08] <genii> darklight_: I had only so far an issue with sendmail trying to be upgraded and it got into a loop. I'm using right now 14.04 updated a couple hours ago, proprietary nvidia drivers, it's on kde 4.12 now and running fairly smoothly
[18:11] <genii> darklight_: I run quite a few PPA and still no major issue yet ( webupd8 java, firefox daily, vlc daily, xorg-edgers, opensync, and some others)
[18:12] <darklight_> that's good to know, is it already using mesa 10?

[21:55] <noobie> Hello
[21:55] <valorie> o/
[21:56] <noobie> I would like to ask if it is possible to disable password typing when in Kubuntu
[21:56] <noobie> Kubuntu Login screen
[21:56] <valorie> noobie: are you the only person who ever uses this computer?
[21:56] <noobie> no
[21:57] <valorie> then having no password is a really bad idea
[21:57] <valorie> that is your first line of security
[21:57] <noobie> no I mean when you type a password I can see dots
[21:57] <noobie> I want to disable the dots appearing
[21:58] <valorie> again, that is a security measure
[21:58] <noobie> a possitive one or a negative one
[21:58] <noobie> ?
[21:58] <valorie> it might be possible, but I would urge you instead to think of a short, easy to type passw, which is still difficult to guess
[21:59] <valorie> well, if there are others about, and your passw is typed in plain text, then they will know your passw
[22:00] <noobie> I know, but  I want to set the system that when I type the password the dots which indicate that the password is being typed to disable, so no dots appear when I type it
[22:00] <valorie> ah
[22:01] <noobie> I tried to search the web but I haven't found any answers
[22:01] <valorie> that is far beyond my knowledge, sorry
[22:01] <noobie> valorie: That is OK
[22:02] <valorie> I think you would have to patch lightdm, unless you can talk our devels into making that change
[22:02] <valorie> or the lightdm devels, I guess
[22:02] <noobie> so that can't be changed naturally?
[22:03] <valorie> not that I know of
[22:03] <valorie> you can write to the kubuntu-devel list and make your case for the change, though
[22:04] <valorie> there is precedent; in the cli when you type your root passw there is no feedback
[22:14] <noobie> so thank you for your time
[22:14] <noobie> Goodbye
[22:14] <valorie> bye noobie
[22:14] <noobie> And thank you for your help of course
[22:33] <apachelogger> valorie: there's no asterisks because sudo suffers from a severe case of paranoia
[22:34] <apachelogger> there is no rationale for this other than not showing the length of the password, which IMO only supports people in using passwords like abc :P
[22:35] <valorie> I'm not paranoid, but I do believe in passwords
[22:35] <valorie> and I don't use abc
[22:35] <valorie> :-)
[23:12] <ScottyK> running kubuntu 64 on my computer. I want to run kubuntu in a VM on the same computer. I heard it's better to run the 32 bit in that instance. true or false?
[23:13] <valorie> ScottyK: the devels run everything in VMs
[23:13] <valorie> so whatever you want
[23:17] <ScottyK> valorie - ok thanks. I'll just go 32 bit for old times sake!
[23:19] <valorie> there isn't a whole lot of difference I can see these days
[23:19] <valorie> I put on 32-bit on my other laptop out of sheer carelessness, and everything worked fine until I tried to set up dropbox
[23:19] <valorie> you have to use a different line for 32 than 64 bit
[23:20] <valorie> lol
[23:20] <valorie> so it was a good test i guess
[23:20] <ScottyK> I wanted to run kubuntu in a vm, so I can really play around with and not screw up my main computer
[23:21] <valorie> that's a good idea, and the same reason the devels run all the alpha and testing stuff in VMs
[23:22] <ScottyK> My laptop is finally powerful enough to also do it. Loving VM more everyday
[23:22] <valorie> cool
[23:23] <valorie> I think my son told me that running windows in a vm made it run faster
[23:23] <valorie> he plays WoW in windows
[23:25] <ScottyK> My kids computer is next on the upgrade list. They still dual boot because some of their games are a pain to get working in linux, envision those games on a VM
[23:30] <valorie> son found the VM worked better than dual-booting
[23:30] <valorie> but whatever makes the customer happy!
[23:35] <ScottyK> kids computer is a dual core with 4GB RAM. you think that's enough to run windows in VM? The games they play are things like roller coaster tycoon, and MAME
[23:37] <valorie> oh gosh, i have no idea
[23:38] <valorie> I do have windows on this laptop, but have only started it up to test grub working
[23:38] <valorie> haven't really used win at all for well over 10 years
