gsedej_workDoes anyone know why "Alt+1" does not work in browsers, while "Alt+2", "Alt+3", ... works? Does work for anyone?12:37
lordievaderGood afternoon.13:27
Poisoned_DragonMorning just started for me.13:28

lordievaderPoisoned_Dragon: The nice (or not so nice) thing about time zones, eh.13:29
Poisoned_Dragonheh, tell me about it.13:29
cillo551is it safe to use kubuntu trusty tahr as everyday computer use14:12
Poisoned_DragonSystem:    Host ROL-PD-D505 Kernel 3.2.0-58-generic-pae i686 (32 bit)14:14
Poisoned_Dragon           Desktop KDE 4.12.1 Distro Ubuntu 14.04 trusty14:14
Poisoned_Dragoncillo551, does that answer your question?14:14
Poisoned_DragonJust be prepared to file a bug report, now and then.14:15
Poisoned_DragonIt is in alpha.14:15
cillo551Poisoned_Dragon:  have your system crashed or have it been stable14:15
Poisoned_DragonThe only issues I have, on this laptop, is that I can't use a kernel higher than 3.5. So, I just use the kernel from precise.14:16
shadeslayercillo551: nope14:18
Poisoned_DragonOtherwise, it's stable14:19
cillo551ok, thanks for the info14:20

lordievaderIt is never recommended to run a development release. Especially not on production machines.14:31
Poisoned_DragonTrue. But, we're adventurers that way.14:32
lordievaderPoisoned_Dragon: Jup, same here ;)14:32
Poisoned_DragonPlus, given the quirkiness of this laptop, I'm willing to do crazy things on it.14:32
Poisoned_DragonLike running an older kernel on a newer release.14:33

Walexgsedej_work: it may be that it is bound to something else...15:00
Walexgsedej_work: try 'kcmshell5 khotkeys' and 'kcmshell4 keys'15:00
WalexPoisoned_Dragon: it is not so much "adventurers", but able to investigate issues and willing to report them.15:01
Walexgsedej_work: try 'kcmshell4 khotkeys' and 'kcmshell4 keys'15:01
WalexPoisoned_Dragon: it is *very* unusual that newer kernel release does not work and an older one does.15:01
Poisoned_DragonWalex, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/125413115:03
ubottuUbuntu bug 1254131 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) " Lubuntu 13.10 lid close freeze" [Low,Incomplete]15:03
Poisoned_DragonIt's marked as an issue with the xorg driver. But, I believe it to be a kernel regression. However, given how old the chipset is, I don't see it being resolved in the future.15:04
WalexPoisoned_Dragon: just a typical bug.15:04
Poisoned_DragonIt's been a bug since kernel 3.715:05
WalexPoisoned_Dragon: they come and go as workarounds for firmware bugs are added/changed/remove from the relevant kernel module or scripts.15:05
Poisoned_DragonWhich would be raring ringtail.15:05
WalexPoisoned_Dragon: the obvious solution is to disable the lid-close button...15:05
Poisoned_DragonI've tried that. It doesn't work.15:05
Poisoned_DragonI've set the DE to ignore it. I've set the system to ignore it. The result is the same. The switch causes the system to freeze.15:06
Poisoned_DragonJust easier to use the precise kernel.15:08
Poisoned_DragonI would use the quantal kernel but, support for security fixes ends this year.15:09

teo_icKsHi at all, I need help about oxigen-gtk theme engine: I'm using kubuntu 13.10 and in my system give me the following error: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk"15:24
teo_icKsHi at all, I need help about oxigen-gtk theme engine: I'm using kubuntu 13.10 and my system give me the following error: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk"15:24
Poisoned_Dragonok, ok... please no question flooding.15:24
Poisoned_Dragonpatience is a virtue.15:25
teo_icKsI'm sorry.... I have a problem in my keyboard...15:26
Poisoned_Dragonis this a fresh install, teo_icKs?15:26
teo_icKsyes15:27
Poisoned_DragonShouldn't kick out that warning right out of the box.15:27
Poisoned_DragonHow is the hard drive?15:27
teo_icKsI don't understand your question...15:31
Poisoned_DragonWell, if it were me, a fresh install kicking out an error like that would cause be to wonder about the condition of the hard drive.15:32
Poisoned_DragonIf the Hard drive is fine, maybe the install was mucked up by a bad DVD.15:33
Poisoned_DragonDid you install with a DVD or a USB stick?15:33

teo_icKsMy hard drive works as well, I'm sure... but I can't exclude a DVD bad installation... is there a way to reinstall only this bad module?15:35
=== ricky_ is now known as Guest86582
Poisoned_DragonHmm... I suppose there is. But, I've never had to do it. Also, this may not be the only error on the system. It just might be the only critical one you've found.15:37
=== manu is now known as Guest30822
Poisoned_DragonA clean install would be best, instead of hunting down packages to help chase down individual errors.15:37
Poisoned_DragonIf you can't trust the dvd drive, consider putting the iso on a usb stick and installing it from there.15:38
teo_icKsok, thanx... bad news but if I have to reinstall all system, better make it soon is possible :-) , thank you again, bye15:42

jbwivguys, with 13.10, if I change an interface ip through "Network Management settings" it doesn't seem to apply. Then, what used to work "$ sudo service networking restart" seems to kill a number of network related things (firefox) and then says NetworkManager is no longer running. What's the appropriate way to apply a new IP?16:05

Jackyany issues I try to see if there's a simple fix, otherwise I report22:26
Jackyif it's not too bothersome of an experience, I stick with it22:26
bpromptwell... don't we all do the same?22:27
JackyNot every user's a tester! ;)22:27
bpromptahemm22:29
bpromptI mean, anyone downloading an app and using it, sticks with it if it works for what they want, and it's not too bothersome22:29
* bprompt is not testing his underwear, he's actually "using" it, it tested good, so I stuck with it22:30
