[01:35] <apb1963> I reinstalled kubuntu 12.04 to a fresh disk.  I have access to the old disk.  What files do I need to copy in order to restore my old working environment?
[01:40] <ahoneybun> apb1963: I think .kde directory
[01:40] <ahoneybun> has some setting files in it
[01:40] <ahoneybun> hidden by default
[01:42] <apb1963> ok, but I was actually hoping for something more specific in terms of which files in that dir I specifically need
[01:43] <apb1963> because copying all of it does in fact change things... but it gives me some unwanted changes as well.  So I was hoping for perhaps a pointer to a guide that explains which files are required and what they do perhaps
[01:44] <apb1963> For example... one change I get is my tabs darken to nearly unreadable
[01:44] <apb1963> I suspect that has something to do with themes (Oxygen) but no idea how to fix it
[01:45] <apb1963> brb.. relogging.
[01:47] <apb1963> ok relogging helped
[01:48] <apb1963> but I still get a bit of weirdness in how it displays my virtual desktop tabs
[01:48] <apb1963> In particular there seems to be something underneath
[01:49] <apb1963> interesting.... I think it's the icon for my IRC client.  weird
[01:50] <ahoneybun> so nothing really got fixed? apb1963
[01:51] <apb1963> well copying .kde over brought my desktop config back which is good... but there are some oddities, as I mentioned
[01:52] <apb1963> for example the title of one of the desktops has a gray box around it
[01:52] <apb1963> actually... two have the gray box... with one desktop - the one I'm in - having the IRC client icon underneath it and showing through
[01:53] <apb1963> Moving to a different desktop doesn't affect the icon
[01:56] <greasyfat> ubuntu is lame cant update it without gparting bigger boot partition
[02:09] <apb1963> funny... my backgrounds didn't get restored
[02:54] <xixor> howdy y'all.  I have multiple sound cards in my system (an HDMI monitor, built in mobo sound device, and a USB audio interface).  Using phonon I can configure the order of the audio devices and all KDE apps work fine.  I haven't been able to figure out how to chnage the order of alsa devices though, so VLC, and flash player (which uses alsaplugin)  don't seem to work.  I can run alsamixer, I see my device
[02:54] <xixor> but I haven't been able to figure out how to change the order.  Googling around, it seems that there used to be an asoundconf program that was recommended, it no longer seems to be in the repository
[03:05] <stunner> hi guys i am new to kubuntu and did some research is there a lerning game or step by step learing guide so you learn some steps and you way arround the system? i am a former win user and some things still confuse me and the books i got dont really help are either too deep or too shallow and idea where to look?
[03:16] <ghil> well first of all you can always ask any questions here?
[03:16] <ghil> we're there most of the time exactly for that :)
[03:17] <stunner> i have so many thats why i wanted to know if there is a command lerning programm like this comand does this now try it and see what it does kind of thing
[03:19] <stunner> i did an update before and i just had a popupwindow where i was required to type in my pw and it updated i guess but i do not know if it did what it was supposed to do or not
[03:20] <stunner> and i dont want to bother you guys with questuions that you probably heared a million times :D
[03:21] <ghil> well first of all, you can man pretty much every thing in the command line interfance (exemple man top) to get a detailed manual on everything. It will ask you for your password when doing administrative tasks, and if you want to be sure that your system is up to date, open a terminal, type sudo apt-get update (to update the mirrorlist) and sudo apt-get upgrade (to actually do the udpate)
[03:25] <ghil> (sidenote: top is an easy command to figure out what's running on your system :P)
[03:27] <stunner> sudo apt-get update gives me an error
[03:27] <ghil> what's the error?
[03:27] <stunner> E: Type 'service' is not known on line 58 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:27] <stunner> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[03:28] <ghil> okay write this for me: sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:29] <ghil> it will open a file with your mirrorlist in it. could you go to line 58 and tell me what is written?
[03:30] <stunner> ok i see i screwed up here before trying to get vnc running
[03:30] <ghil> good :)
[03:30] <stunner> service Xvnc is line 58 i put it theer though
[03:30] <ghil> copy the line for me?
[03:31] <stunner> i did read obove
[03:31] <stunner> above
[03:31] <ghil> ok
[03:31] <stunner> and after that was what i read to att to this file i may have not doen it right though
[03:32] <stunner> add omg cant type tpday sorry
[03:32] <stunner> i give up :d
[03:32] <ghil> probably. the error you are getting is when the mirrorlist can't update because it doesn't recognize that line.
[03:32] <stunner> service Xvnc
[03:32] <stunner> {
[03:32] <stunner>         type = UNLISTED
[03:32] <stunner>         disable = no
[03:32] <stunner>         socket_type = stream
[03:32] <FloodBotK1> stunner: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:32] <stunner>         protocol = tcp
[03:32] <ghil> you can comment it (add a # before it, first in line) and it will ignore it.
[03:33] <ghil> oh that's why! this is not supposed to be there.
[03:33] <ghil> remove all that from there, should be okay to update now.
[03:35] <stunner> ok seems i am up to date
[03:35] <ghil> good :)
[03:35] <stunner> yeah
[03:40] <stunner> ok man is manual top what is running and sudo is run something correct?
[03:41] <ghil> sudo is running something as administrator, or as we call it, root.
[03:41] <stunner> ok
[03:41] <ghil> but the rest is great.
[03:42] <stunner> reminds me of my old dos days :D
[03:42] <ghil> yeah :) most of the things you can do without the command line, but it's more efficient and quick, so a lot of us rely on it for most things.
[03:42] <stunner> is there a way to get a live konsolea konsole that tells me what im system is doing ?
[03:43] <stunner> yeah and i do like it its just confusing if you dont understand what you are doing :D
[03:43] <ghil> yeah, but you'll get there. We've all begun somewhere. :)
[03:44] <stunner> yeah i know
[03:47] <stunner> how come my standart browser wont load the urls that i want to open from the chat? i set fiorefox in firefox as default do i need to do that somewhere else as well?
[03:47] <ghil> depends on what you are using to connect to IRC>
[03:48] <stunner> quuassel was already installed
[03:49] <excalibr> stunner, what does it use to launch the url?
[03:49] <stunner> rekonq
[03:50] <excalibr> might want to look for alternative entries in /etc/alternatives
[03:52] <ghil> I'm reading there was a Quassel bug that ignored the browser, so might be that too. I suggest changing anyway to something better! try Xchat fo GUI or IRSSI if you want to experiment with CLI.
[03:53] <ghil> but I strongly suggests going with GUI first while you familiarise yourself. :p
[03:53] <stunner> i am new excalibr i understand you gave me a path but how i get there and than look for something i dont could you tell me what i need to do
[03:54] <excalibr> When you use plasma-desktop, how do you hide the titlebar for maximized app window just like in plasma-netbook?
[03:54] <stunner> ahh ok well it was already installed though i went with it
[03:55] <excalibr> stunner, ls -l /etc/alternatives/xxx-www-browser
[03:55] <excalibr> x-www-browser
[03:56] <excalibr> where does it point to?
[03:57] <stunner> /usr/bin/rekonq
[03:57] <stunner> and i need to change it to firefox is my quess?
[03:58] <stunner> quick question /usr is my home directory?
[03:59] <excalibr> stunner, correct. change it with sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-brower
[04:00] <stunner> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x-www-brower
[04:01] <excalibr> x-www-browser
[04:01] <stunner> oops
[04:02] <stunner> what is the difference between auto and manual mode?
[04:04] <ghil> usr isn't your home. /home is your home.
[04:04] <MangaKaDenza> I got a question about repositories
[04:04] <ghil> yes MangaKaDenza?
[04:04] <MangaKaDenza> is there a command line way to see which ones I'm using atm?
[04:05] <Trel> How do I use different themes for lightdm? I don't see any way to configure it?
[04:05] <MangaKaDenza> Trel: it should be configurable in the control panel
[04:05] <Trel> MangaKaDenza: with two options, icons or no icons, that's not exactly an appearance change
[04:06] <MangaKaDenza> Trel: well, I'd install some themes then
[04:06] <MangaKaDenza> they should be findable in muon package manager
[04:06] <MangaKaDenza> just search for lightdm
[04:06] <Trel> MangaKaDenza: I don't even see any results for lightdm themes in google...
[04:06] <excalibr> stunner, im not so sure but I think it pertains to how the alternative systems handles the link when it no longer exists (as packages removed or installed). just select auto there just to be safe
[04:06] <MangaKaDenza> try muon
[04:07] <Trel> (synaptic ok, or have to be muon?)
[04:07] <stunner> @excalibr thx
[04:08] <MangaKaDenza> Trel: well, any package manager should work
[04:08] <Trel> I much prefer the UI of synaptic
[04:08] <MangaKaDenza> but I like muon, as it doesn't lock dpkg when its used
[04:09] <Trel> MangaKaDenza: ok, I tried muon and synaptic, there's not a single theme for lightdm
[04:09] <Trel> I am I missing something?
[04:10] <SonikkuAmerica> You can pick a greeter type (unity-greeter, lightdm-gtk-greeter, ...)
[04:11] <Trel> greeters are not themes
[04:12] <Trel> Why exactly is KDM being depricated in favor of lightdm?  It seems like it's not quite ready for prime time.
[04:13] <MangaKaDenza> Trel: standardization I guess
[04:13] <Trel> It seems like a rather bad idea considering how much customization is lost.
[04:14] <Trel> I'll be right back, I'm testing something
[04:15] <stunner> hey ghil i asked before if there is a live konsole that i can follow while my system is doing something dont know if you missed it
[04:16] <MangaKaDenza> stunner: er, could you clarify?
[04:16] <MangaKaDenza> I might be able to help
[04:16] <stunner> sure
[04:17] <MangaKaDenza> so... what do you want to do exactly?
[04:17] <stunner> i want to install a program with muon and it just pops up a window where i need to type my password than the window is gone and it does stuff and a while later the program is there i just was wondering if you can follow along what it is doing in the background
[04:18] <ghil> oh I did not see the message: stunner: depends on what it is doing, but most of the time if you start something on the terminal, it will verbose, so you will be able to follow along.
[04:19] <ghil> so for exemple: instead of installing it with muon, install it in CLI with the commandd sudo apt-get install yourapphereeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[04:19] <ghil> herr....the multiple e was weird, I think Synergy is having hickups. :p
[04:19] <MangaKaDenza> I was just about to ask about that
[04:20] <stunner> i would do it but i dont know ernough to figure this sudo apt-get to do it manually
[04:20] <stunner> i just want to install xchat like you suggested
[04:20] <ghil> it's really simple. when you know what you want to install, type sudo (root access) apt-get (the actual download program) install (duh) xchat
[04:21] <ghil> so in short: sudo apt-get install xchat
[04:21] <ghil> and watch it fly by. Muon and Synaptic are just front ends for apt-get after all.
[04:21] <stunner> ahh so it looks randomly for xchat in the internet and installs it? without knowing the actuall location of it?
[04:22] <ghil> not randomly. it will look in the repositories on the internet (you have a list of those in /etc/apt/sources.list) and will look only there.
[04:23] <stunner> ahh ok now it makes more sense
[04:23] <ghil> most of the distributions maintain repositories of programs ready to be installed on that particular distribution.
[04:23] <stunner> so sudo apt-get install xchat?
[04:24] <ghil> so you don't have to compile everything manually, which would be a pain. :P yes.
[04:24] <stunner> seems simple enough
[04:24] <ghil> it is really simple.
[04:24] <ghil> it's actually a lot less complicated than windows.
[04:25] <stunner> well that was the way i was thinking that it needs to know where to look but if it has a library than it all makes more sense
[04:25] <ghil> exactly
[04:26] <stunner> well that was easy :D
[04:27] <ghil> :)
[04:27] <stunner> i need to restart i shall return hopefully :D
[04:31] <stunner> yaya
[04:31] <stunner> yay
[04:31] <ghil> nice :)
[04:32] <stunner> ok and now get rid of quassel hmm sudo apt-XXX irc ckient?
[04:34] <stunner> no something with dev null
[04:35] <ghil> sudo apt-get remove quassel
[04:36] <ghil> gotta go to sleep though, but I'm sure someone else will take over. Night everyone :)
[04:39] <stunner> thank you ghil good night
[04:45] <stunner> top tells me 3 users one is guest one is me one root?
[05:03] <Daskreech> !commands
[05:12] <Daskreech> MangaKaDenza: you can see your repos in the /etc/ dir
[05:13] <Daskreech> stunner: yuo have a guest user?
[05:14] <stunner> well on my login sreen i could choose guest but i dont have the need for one really
[05:14] <stunner> i was just wondering top said i have 3 users
[05:16] <stunner> top - 00:15:57 up 46 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.06, 0.17, 0.30
[05:32] <valorie> stunner: root is a user too
[05:32] <stunner> yeah my question was just is that the amount of all users or the logged in ones?
[05:33] <valorie> root is always in the background running various things
[05:33] <valorie> I have 3 users as well, so I assume that is root, me and guest
[05:34] <stunner> ok good to know i am just new to this so i see those things and some bell rings in my head :D
[05:34] <valorie> there is a funny old command `whoami` which tells you who are logged in as
[05:35] <valorie> yes, if you remember msdos or cp/m, lots of the cli will seem familiar
[05:35] <stunner> oh yes i remember
[05:35] <stunner> dos 4.0 i had 40 mb hdd on my 286 with midi sound :D
[05:36] <valorie> also, if you have linux-only questions and no one answers here, I understand that ##linux is a good chan
[05:36] <valorie> here on freenode
[05:36] <valorie> !alis
[05:37] <valorie> lots of very knowledgeable people here, though
[05:37] <stunner>  thanks have to check that out although i am not quite sure if i can distinguish the difference quite jet what is kubuntu and linux specific :D
[05:38] <valorie> sure
[05:38] <stunner> darn it still rekonq i though it was set to firefox now
[05:38] <valorie> it took me a good long while to figure out how the community is structured
[05:39] <valorie> you can set this in systemsettings
[05:39] <valorie> and try alt+f2 (krunner) to find stuff
[05:39] <valorie> Default applications is what you want
[05:39] <stunner> hey as long you understand they (the people that know things) are people like you and be nice to them
[05:40] <valorie> in systemsettings
[05:40] <valorie> yup
[05:40] <valorie> I started hanging out in the linuxchix IRC when I was still using windows, just to get oriented
[05:41] <valorie> from there I found freenode, and the KDE and Kubuntu channels
[05:41] <stunner> sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser is what i did before
[05:41] <valorie> ok, I've never used that command
[05:41] <valorie> so dunno
[05:41] <valorie> systemsettings is well laid out
[05:42] <stunner> but as i see it didnt change it in kde(?)
[05:42] <valorie> that could be
[05:42] <valorie> dunno
[05:42] <stunner> well i changet it in the systemsettings
[05:42] <valorie> also, you might have to log out and back into KDE to have it 'take'
[05:43] <stunner> i restarted the system before
[05:43] <valorie> ok
[05:43] <jalcine> stunner: Linux is like your brian, Kubuntu's more like the flesh and bones that make you what you are.
[05:43] <jalcine> For an analogy
[05:43] <valorie> restart is rarely necessary
[05:43] <jalcine> Some would say Linux is probably the nervous system
[05:43] <stunner> yeah but i had to
[05:43] <valorie> ok
[05:43] <jalcine> Also, stunner, did you check System Settings > Default Applications ?
[05:44] <stunner> yeah its just konsole and kde seem to be working together but not
[05:44] <stunner> yeah i just changed it there
[05:44] <jalcine> Ah, sorry, didn't see the backlog.
[05:44] <stunner> all good
[05:45] <jalcine> is it happening when you click on a link in Konsole or are you just trying to reconfigure `x-www-browser`?
[05:45] <stunner> oh man irc its been a long time
[05:47] <stunner> no before i was on quassel irc client and links in quassel was opening in requon or something like that so i asked how to change that and someone told me to use the x-www-browser to change that but kde seemed to not chenged it
[05:47] <stunner> xchat doesnt seem to open a browser at all when i click a link
[05:48] <valorie> xchat is a standalone application, not part of KDE
[05:48] <valorie> you probably have to configure that within xchat
[05:48]  * valorie favors Konversation
[05:49] <stunner> yeah i found an option but i have no clue how to set it up i need to do some research on that
[05:49] <stunner> atm its set to opera it seems
[05:49] <valorie> interesting
[05:49] <valorie> I haven't tried opera for years
[05:50] <stunner> !opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
[05:50] <valorie> !opera
[05:50] <stunner>  !opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
[05:50] <valorie> the bot doesn't take arguments, I guess
[05:50] <stunner> nope lol
[05:51] <valorie> since opera is also a standalone application, ubottu is unlikely to know much anyway
[05:51] <jalcine> stunner: that's within Quassel's settings, I'd presume.
[05:52] <valorie> the longer I use KDE, the more I tend to stick to KDE apps
[05:52] <jalcine> Konversation's more tightly knit with KDE and respects KDE's desktop settings for opening links
[05:52] <valorie> except chromium
[05:52] <stunner> i like xchat seems to be not so cutesie
[05:52] <jalcine> hopefuly, that'll change with Qt5 and the new Web rendering engine
[05:53] <valorie> for some reason, I took a dislike to xchat a long time ago
[05:53] <stunner> it works for what i need it seems to me a simple irc client
[05:53] <valorie> but choices are there for all of us, which is one of the great things about linux
[05:54] <jalcine> stunner: I'd point you in the direction of Konversation, then. It's simpler and gets things done.
[05:54] <stunner> its just different from windows need some time to get used to it
[05:54] <jalcine> I use both Konversation and weechat, but spend more time in Konversation
[05:55] <valorie> konvi <3
[05:55] <stunner> hmm ok lets see if i remember how to get it installed
[05:55] <jalcine> stunner: cli or gui?
[05:55] <valorie> heh
[05:56] <stunner> cli gui?
[05:56] <stunner> hehe
[05:57] <stunner_> hehe
[05:57] <stunner_> nah i miss the sidebar :D
[05:57] <stunner> i stay with xchat for now
[05:58] <jalcine> stunner_: Konversation has that, you'd have to move the tabs to the left in the settings
[05:58] <jalcine> by default, it's at the top (iirc)
[05:58] <stunner> i gotta check it oout
[05:58] <valorie> !konversation
[05:58] <valorie> piffle
[05:59] <stunner> lol
[05:59] <valorie> hmmm
[05:59] <valorie> !irc
[06:00] <valorie> pfff
[06:00] <valorie> !info konversation
[06:00] <valorie> not what i wanted to know, ubottu
[06:01] <jalcine> the app docs are online for most of KDE's apps, no?
[06:02] <stunner> but i am proud of myself got my firefox running with my windows profile skype to work (i think)  now i need to see how i get sc2 to work and vnc
[06:02] <valorie> http://userbase.kde.org/Konversation
[06:02] <valorie> sc2 works well; the kubuntu packagers often use it to build stuff
[06:03] <valorie> jalcine: yep; but ubottu doesn't seem to know about 'em
[06:03] <stunner> we are talking about starcraft 2?
[06:03] <stunner> sorry if i confused you
[06:03] <jalcine> lol
[06:03] <jalcine> stunner: konversation has its docs online at http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-network/konversation/index.html
[06:04] <stunner> ok i will check it out but not now
[06:04] <valorie> ah, that is the online amazon.com system
[06:04] <stunner> i saw playonlinux supposed to work
[06:05] <valorie> !playonlinux
[06:05] <valorie> hmmm
[06:06] <valorie> !wine
[06:06] <stunner> !info playonlinux
[06:06] <greasyfat> wtf is dif bettwen kbuntu and regular ubuntu
[06:06] <valorie> the difference is KDE vs Unity desktop
[06:06] <greasyfat> ahhh
[06:06] <greasyfat> yeah unity is adware lol
[06:06] <valorie> there are also lots of other 'flavors' of ubuntu
[06:06] <greasyfat> maybei shud switch
[06:07] <valorie> xubuntu, lubuntu, etc.
[06:08] <jalcine> stunner: check the wine-hq site for compatibility of SC2 on Ubuntu
[06:09] <stunner> yeah i have read about it already but its getting later in the day and so therefore i will do it tomorrow
[06:09] <jalcine> no problem
[06:09] <stunner> i am just enjoying my achievements for the day lol
[06:09] <jalcine> g'day stunner :)
[06:10] <stunner> oops konversation was still open
[06:10] <stunner> i will stay for a while still
[06:10] <stunner> i wont go to bed for a while just not in the mood for more stuff right now
[06:12] <stunner> !mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox 'openURL(%s,new-tab)'
[06:13] <stunner> url handler for xchat just in case someone needs it
[06:17] <Daskreech> :)
[06:17] <Daskreech> stunner: Wiki it!
[06:17] <stunner> no i got it to work
[06:17] <stunner> i just forget how irc works lol
[06:18] <stunner> its been like 6 years
[06:19] <Programmer_> anyone here?
[06:19] <stunner> i am but i dont think i can help you much
[06:20] <Programmer_> hmmm
[06:21] <Programmer_> Well I was wondering how how do i get the application tabs
[06:21] <Programmer_> like right click in a window title bar and select, tab to window
[06:22] <Fa_1> good morning + happy new year :) - does somebody know whats wrong with ~/.xsession-errors since 13.10(?) it's almost empty now
[06:22] <stunner> i have no idea sorry
[06:26] <valorie> stunner: Daskreech meant find the wiki article and add that command so others can find it
[06:26] <Daskreech> Programmer_: which application is this?
[06:26] <Programmer_> its now one
[06:26] <Programmer_> like when you right click on an application's title bar
[06:26] <Daskreech> Fa_1: Maybe you stopped having session errors?
[06:27] <valorie> not many people will search the logs of this channel for anything about xchat, since it isn't a KDE application
[06:27] <Programmer_> there is an open for "More options"
[06:27] <Daskreech> Programmer_: You right click on the application abr
[06:27] <Programmer_> an application's window titlebar...
[06:28] <valorie> that works for me in Konversation
[06:28] <valorie> should work in any KDE application
[06:28] <Daskreech> Programmer_: what do you get when youright click on the title bar?
[06:28] <stunner> ahh
[06:28] <Fa_1> Daskreech: that would be cool (: but no. even in this case there should be some kind of output in
[06:28] <stunner> yeah i am new to this linux thing :D
[06:29] <stunner> sorry daskreech i will see what i can find
[06:29] <Programmer_> move to desktop, minimize, maximize, etc.
[06:29] <Daskreech> Fa_1: When was the file last touched?
[06:29] <Daskreech> Programmer_: what window display manager are you using?
[06:30] <Programmer_> the default?
[06:30] <Programmer_> oh nvm, i think oxygen is the only thing that has this option
[06:31] <Fa_1> Daskreech: 11minutes ago (like it should be on - session start) .. i think that ubuntu has made some changes and the output will now end somewhere else.. but i dont know the right path
[06:32] <Daskreech> Fa_1: Oh. that's bad
[06:32] <Daskreech> Programmer_: Ah
[06:32] <Programmer_> you see it?
[06:34] <Fa_1> ohh .. found it ... its now in ~/.cache/upstart/startkde.log :/

[08:18] <stunner> is theer a way to give a programm root access prior to starting it?
[08:18] <James0r> how can i install a skz plasmoid? oxygen system monitor in particular
[08:20] <valorie> stunner, there is, but why would you want that?
[08:20] <valorie> dangerous move
[08:21] <stunner> i know i was just wondering
[08:21] <stunner> because playonlinux needs to mount my dvd drive and it always gives an error
[08:21] <valorie> James0r: skz files are discussed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058354
[08:22] <stunner> but i guess i check the irc tomorrow noone awake theer atm
[08:22] <valorie> seems like it would be better to automatically mount your dvd drive
[08:22] <valorie> rather than start up playonlinux as root
[08:23] <James0r> valorie: thanks
[08:23] <valorie> stunner: check out `man mount`
[08:23] <stunner> was just an idea but playonnlinux states it will ask me for root but never does
[08:23] <stunner> i did
[08:23] <valorie> I believe there is a file you can edit to get that auto-mounted
[08:24] <valorie> James0r: np
[08:26] <valorie> stunner: this thread might help - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1421324
[08:27] <valorie> maybe this one also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828145
[08:27] <stunner> just quick question in file manager i can access the dvdrom just fine does that mean its mounted or is that something else
[08:28] <valorie> yes, if you can see it in Dolphin, it is mounted
[08:28] <stunner> yeah i can
[08:29] <stunner> so it is mounted i think its something playonlinux or wine specific
[08:29] <stunner> i will ask them tomorrow
[08:29] <valorie> I think there is a wine chan
[08:30] <stunner> there is a playonlinux chan as well but noone home atm :D
[08:30] <valorie> #winehq
[08:30] <valorie> oh, ok
[08:30] <valorie> I would expect all things gamer to be well supported here on freenode
[08:31] <valorie> http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-10879-unable_to_find_CDROM.html might shed light as well
[08:32] <valorie> http://askubuntu.com/questions/37219/how-do-i-mount-cd-rom-at-media-cdrom0
[08:32] <valorie> oh, google has lotsa stuff for ya
[08:33] <stunner> no disrespect but i can google also :D
[08:33] <valorie> heh
[08:33] <stunner> i tried that but wasnt helpfull for me
[08:33] <valorie> ok
[08:34] <stunner> but i do appreciate it
[08:34] <stunner> very helpfull
[08:34] <valorie> you'd be surprised how many people google for stuff seemingly unrelated
[08:34] <stunner> yeah i am usually good at finding things
[08:34] <valorie> when they finally frame the question, I google it for them, and they think I know what I'm talking about!
[08:34] <valorie> viola!
[08:35] <valorie> hardest bit being coming up with the right question
[08:35] <stunner> but some stuff esp linux is new to me so its hard to get the right question but it seems like the exact problem is hard to find
[08:35] <valorie> yup
[08:36] <stunner> gotta love lmgtfy.com though :D
[08:38] <valorie> heh
[08:38] <valorie> as long as it is used in good fun, rather than passive-agressively
[08:39] <stunner> sure
[08:39] <stunner> i do this with my mum alot :D
[08:39] <valorie> :-)
[08:40] <stunner> atleast she learned how to use a smartphone
[08:42] <valorie> I had my dad using the internet, until his mental state went down
[08:42] <stunner> anyway its bedtiime now cya later
[08:42] <valorie> that was hard to watch

[08:59] <cjae> does anyone know if trim is enabled on ssd in 13.10?
[09:00] <valorie> cjae: looks like it isn't default yet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/trim
[09:01] <cjae> haha youre here too
[09:01] <cjae> ok guess Ill have to do it, thanks again
[09:03] <valorie> sure, we're part of KDE as well as part of ubuntu
[09:17] <cjae> valorie: do you have the kde-ufw firewall as well? the one that show in system-settings?
[09:18] <cjae> it is enabled by default in kde-linux-mint
[09:21] <jalcine> !kde-ufw
[09:21] <jalcine> !info ufw-kde
[09:22] <jalcine> !info kde-ufw
[09:24] <jalcine> hmm
[09:24] <jalcine> cjae: are you using Kubuntu or Debian?
[09:25] <jalcine> because kde-ufw doesn't exist
[09:25] <cjae> kubuntu
[09:25] <jalcine> I know there's a plug-in for KDE that has ufw (I use it myself) but it's not packaged yet
[09:25] <cjae> yes that may not be exact name
[09:25] <jalcine> !info python-ufw
[09:26] <cjae> right but that one doesnt fit into system settings right?
[09:26] <jalcine> it does
[09:26] <jalcine> wait, no not python-ufw
[09:27] <jalcine> I think it's on the list of things to package
[09:27] <cjae> I complied it before but it never actually set ufw
[09:27] <cjae> its been on there awhile
[09:28] <cjae> it is setup on linuxmint kde but I cannot get it to work with kubuntu
[09:33] <cjae> not sure if I still have my .deb I created
[09:35] <valorie> sorry, cjae
[09:35] <valorie> was afk for a bit
[09:36] <cjae> no sweat :-)
[09:36] <valorie> we lack the manpower so far to get kde-ufw working well enough to be packaged, as i understand it
[09:36] <valorie> that includes testing, of course
[09:37] <valorie> volunteer to test if you are interested!
[09:40] <cjae> Well I would but my expertise is too limited to be of any use. I wanted a simple allow all outgoing and a reject all incoming setup.
[09:43] <valorie> ok; /me heads to bed
[10:20] <jonah> Hi can anyone please help getting my monitors set up right? I have two Samsung SyncMaster 2343nw displays using Twinview. One is using DVI but the other has a DVI to VGA adaptor and I can't get a high enough resolution on it. The resoution should be 2048x1152 for both... I've tried adding lines to xorg.conf etc but can't get it to work.
[10:57] <cjae> jonah: addtional drivers? like nvidia driver? Do you play games?
[10:57] <jonah> cjae: no I don't play games. I do have the nvidia drivers installed. nvidia-settings also is unable to get me the higher resolution on the second screen.
[10:58] <cjae> then why is default not good enough?
[10:59] <cjae> there is 3d and multimonitor support out of the box
[10:59] <cjae> which works great for my hdmi tv
[11:00] <cjae> I havent had to use nvidia driver for some time now
[11:00] <jonah> cjae: hi thanks - the default is giving a lower resolution that which the monitor is supposed to have, so text is blocky and the display doens't look right
[11:01] <jonah> cjae: my first monitor is fine and looks good, the second monitor looks bad...
[11:01] <cjae> and it does let you choose different resolution?
[11:03] <jonah> cjae: it'll let me choose different ones, but they're all lower than the default it is supposed to run at which should be 2048x1152
[11:03] <cjae> http://www.dumpt.com/img/viewer.php?file=by3kytxduily5lqz8yqh.png
[11:03] <cjae> oic
[11:04] <jonah> cjae: hi thanks - I've also tried that, but again it offers 2048x1152 for the 1st monitor which is great but the second monitor only has lower resolutions
[11:06] <cjae> sorry I havent had to use xorg.conf for awhile. I would think you might have trouble finding help with it here too. since they are moving away from that standard
[11:07] <cjae> #xorg?
[11:08] <cjae> I am assumming that you know the system settings do nothing to the nvidia driver as well.
[11:09]  * cjae is surprised to see this

[12:47] <oscarr> BluesKaj: strange that noone is talking here
[12:47] <oscarr> what you think ?
[12:47] <oscarr> all are trying to get kubuntu working ... and has no time to talk ?
[12:48] <BluesKaj> lots of lurkers oscarr, but if you have a question about kubuntu , just ask
[12:48] <Tm_T> oh, this is not a chit chat channel, that's happening in #kubuntu-offtopic
[12:51] <oscarr> BluesKaj: on my two machines on 13.10 i have strange KDE screen crashes ... black screen... with working windows .... but without of frames. it looks like windowdecorator and manager crashes how to check that ?
[12:55] <BluesKaj> oscarr, have you updated and upgraded lately ?
[12:55] <oscarr> yes
[12:57] <oscarr> i think it could be because of graphics driver ... im using nvidia driver ... not noveau
[12:59] <BluesKaj> graphics cards / drivers , sudo lshw -C video, look at the line configuration
[12:59] <yazeed> When I have upgraded to nvidia in kubuntu 13.10, the kubuntu splash no longer gets shown :|
[13:02] <yazeed> it basically misses the plymouth
[13:03] <BluesKaj> do you get the login screen right after grub ...faster boot?
[13:09] <BluesKaj> I was using the nouveau driver on 13.10 and it worked well ...installing the 319 driver now , we'll see if I have the dame problems , yazeed , oscarr
[13:09] <BluesKaj> same
[13:11] <fedor> Прмвет всем!
[13:11] <yazeed> BluesKaj, thanks :D i don't get the login screen right after grub, it just shows a stupid version of plymouth
[13:11] <BluesKaj> !ru | fedor
[13:12] <BluesKaj> think jockey is going to fail here , will have to do it vis cli or muon
[13:12] <BluesKaj> via
[13:14] <oscarr> BluesKaj: the problem popups sometimes .. probably is connected with Opengl ... because it popups sometimes when launching 3d game ... but not only ... sometimes im going away from kb .. and after hours .. when i coming back i have only black screen with mouse pointer.
[13:15] <BluesKaj> use xrandr with OpenGL , oscarr
[13:15] <BluesKaj> instead of native
[13:19] <BluesKaj> oscarr, which nvidia driver are you using ?
[13:20] <BluesKaj> oscarr,I have the 319 driver installed here , no problems so far
[13:21] <BluesKaj> installed it on the desktop ,this laptop uses intel
[13:30] <lordievader> Good afternoon.'
[13:46] <BluesKaj> hi lordievader
[13:46] <lordievader> Hey BluesKaj, how are you doing?

[14:19] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: things seem alot better with kde
[14:19] <eagles0513875> but my questino is how do i know if nepomuk and konadi is working right as there were some dbg package dependency issue
[14:19] <eagles0513875> issues
[14:20] <lordievader> !it | gino_
[14:20] <BluesKaj> sorry eagles0513875, I don't use either one
[14:23] <BluesKaj> have them turned off in session management
[14:26] <eagles0513875> hey guys i am running kde from the kde ppa and i had some issues with the dbg packages and dependencies can anyone tell me if akonadi will still work from the ppa package if the dbg packages are not installed?
[14:26] <gino_> disney
[14:27] <gino_> hallo
[14:27] <gino_> isney!
[14:27] <gino_> disney!
[14:37] <lordievader> eagles0513875: Aren't the dbg packages debug packages?
[14:37] <eagles0513875> lordievader: i got a strange error in kmail about akonadi lets see if it will pop up again
[14:38] <eagles0513875> lordievader: seems fine now will let you know if it happens again
[14:39] <lordievader> eagles0513875: Note, I know nothing about akonadi/nepomuk/kmail. I don't think I'm the right guy to ask.
[14:39] <eagles0513875> lordievader: was asking the room in general
[14:40] <eagles0513875> lordievader: just so i understand backports are basically stable releases of lets say updated versions of kde etc
[14:40] <lordievader> eagles0513875: I was talking about your message at 15:38.
[14:40] <eagles0513875> ahh ok \
[14:41] <lordievader> eagles0513875: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backporting
[14:56] <eagles0513875> lordievader: solved the dependency issues with akonadi dbg stuff
[14:59] <Poisoned_Dragon> I'm using 12.04. Has anyone updated KDE with the backport ppa?
[14:59] <Poisoned_Dragon> I didn't want to chance it, since things are pretty stable.
[15:03] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: im on 13.10 and i just updated it to the ppa version and things really improved for me was having alot of issues with the default 13.10 version
[15:10] <Poisoned_Dragon> What version is KDE in 13.10?
[15:10] <Poisoned_Dragon> 12.04 is 4.8.x
[15:15] <eagles0513875> !kde
[15:16] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: not sure but the latest version in the ppa is 4.12
[15:16] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: it was 4.11
[15:16] <Poisoned_Dragon> Ah, gotcha.
[15:16] <Poisoned_Dragon> 4.11 was that buggy?
[15:17] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: on this laptop yes
[15:17] <eagles0513875> im finding 12 more stable tbh
[15:18] <eagles0513875> lots of issues i was seeing arent occuring
[15:18] <Poisoned_Dragon> Maybe I should chance it. I do get crashes with KDE on certain tasks.
[15:19] <Poisoned_Dragon> Repeatable but, not crippling.
[15:19] <Poisoned_Dragon> nothing a reboot command in terminal can't fix.
[15:19] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: maybe so but it was issues not really with stability for me but apps not doing as they should
[15:20] <eagles0513875> kmail after a while wouldnt open emails for me sometimes closing and reopening would fix it but other times it wouldnt
[15:20] <eagles0513875> i would have to elave it closed for some time first then open it again
[15:20] <eagles0513875> Poisoned_Dragon: i don tthink anything would make the backports repo unless it was stable
[15:23] <Poisoned_Dragon> Meh, I would have purged kmail for thunderbird. :)
[15:23] <Poisoned_Dragon> As it is, rekonq is gone.
[15:24] <Poisoned_Dragon> oops... this is drifting to off-topic.
[16:08] <rberg>  anybody here know how to prevent notifications from stealing focus? I have stealing prevention set to high already, but quassel and kmail notifications still steal focus
[16:09] <Poisoned_Dragon> just those 2?
[16:10] <rberg> probably more, but those are the 2 I get a lot of notifications from
[16:14] <rberg> in "edit window-specific settings" what type of window would a notification be? Dialog?
[16:15] <Poisoned_Dragon> Hmm... not sure. Still a little green with KDE.
[16:16] <Poisoned_Dragon> I'm usually an xfce guy.
[16:24] <Poisoned_Dragon> Also, I don't use Quassel. And I'm tempted to purge kmail
[16:25] <rberg> Poisoned_Dragon: some times I find restarting akonadi helps when kmail gets weird
[16:27] <Poisoned_Dragon> But, I like my thunderbird. :(
[16:28] <rberg>  ohh I may have missed some of that conversation

[18:40] <m_tadeu> hi...after installing the nvidia drivers, all fonts got really small....how to solve this?
[18:44] <soee_> m_tadeu: resolution change or font size changed ?
[18:50] <m_tadeu> soee_: the resolution is the same....the fonts that show up are really really small
[18:55] <rberg> m_tadeu: what does X think is your displays DPI? run 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution'
[18:56] <rberg> last time I had that problem was a long time ago, I had to force the dpi setting for X
[18:59] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[18:59] <rberg> m_tadeu: also hold ctrl and mouse wheel up will often increase your font size..  you may need to do that to read the output of the command above
[19:09] <m_tadeu> ok...fixed by adding Options "DPI" "96x96" in xorg.conf
[19:10] <m_tadeu> now another detail arises to fix....font anti-aliasing doesn't seem to be working, so fonts look really "squary"
[19:10] <Simone> hello
[19:10] <Simone> i'm installing kubuntu!
[19:11] <Simone> can i install chrome?
[19:30] <Poisoned_Dragon> Is there a way to reduce the brightness of video overlay globaly?
[19:30] <Poisoned_Dragon> *globally
[19:30] <Poisoned_Dragon> Videos look brigher in local players but appear normal in flash.

[19:31] <Poisoned_Dragon> I know I can adjust it in player, but it seems like a system setting.
[19:31] <rerf> i don't know english, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

[19:32] <Unit193> !ru | rerf
[19:55] <Poisoned_Dragon> Oh, ok... the problem isn't brightness. The video overlay is over saturated.
[19:55] <Poisoned_Dragon> I can drop the saturation in player. but, is there a global xorg or kde setting for that?
[19:57] <Poisoned_Dragon> oh, it's both. :)
[20:07] <Poisoned_Dragon> Oh well... I fixed it in my video player options. I can deal...
[20:31] <eagles0513875> hey all
[20:32] <eagles0513875> lordievader: well i cant be happier now :)
[20:58] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, other than the track/touchpad what else does the project neon kde version do for you?
[20:59] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: somehow i get a higher resolution then on kde version taht is released and in ppa
[20:59] <eagles0513875> also i can adjust the resolution which i cannot do in system settings on the kubuntu versions
[21:00] <BluesKaj> really? I have several resolutions available and it's not a fancy graphics card
[21:01] <BluesKaj> of course the top one is 1366x768
[21:03] <BluesKaj> altho the HDMI out provides 1920x1080 on the TV
[21:03] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: i have no resolutions
[21:03] <eagles0513875> i need to test if i can output to a 2nd monitor
[21:03] <eagles0513875> as that wasnt working
[21:04] <BluesKaj> what's the graphics card and driver?
[21:06] <xixor> so much of that is driver dependent
[21:52] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: i think its an intel one
[21:52] <eagles0513875> ya intel actually
[22:09] <BluesKaj> i915 driver? , lspci -k |grep -A 2 VGA
[22:09] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875,^
[22:10] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) that is what my graphics is so i have no idea what model
[22:12] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, did you run the command above ? , you should see the driver in the list
[22:12] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)         Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device fa82 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
[22:12] <eagles0513875> thats all that comes up BluesKaj
[22:13] <BluesKaj> ok , that's strange
[22:14] <BluesKaj> well, gotta go ..later
[22:14] <eagles0513875> ya so i am not totally sure what i have
[22:34] <ChogyDan> what is the "proper" way to install restricted nvidia drivers?
[22:40] <soee> ChogyDan: you can use Additional Display Driver to activate them
[22:41] <wafflejock> yeah believe System -> Additional Drivers in Kubuntu
[22:46] <ChogyDan> ok, I found it, thanks folks
