pietro10hm14:22
pietro10sgt-puzzles and zim also use the gtk default style14:23
pietro10but I do have gtk[23]-engines-oxygen installed14:23
pietro10and they're not being run as root14:23
pietro10what's wrong now?14:23
pietro10er wait no, after manually reselecting oxygen in kde-config-gtk sgt-puzzles looks right14:23
pietro10and now so does synaptic14:24
fabio123i had thi issue14:24
pietro10so I guess I just had to reselect kde-config-gtk14:24
pietro10I'm not sure if that's a bug in kde-config or not14:24
fabio123i remember i made a gtkrc file in the root folder14:24
pietro10yeah that was the old way14:24
fabio123anyway about that i no longer use oxygen-gtk14:25
fabio123i use qtcurve which is a lot faster14:25
pietro10apparently all you need to do is go into kde-config-gtk, make some changes without applying to mark the window as dirty, then change it back to oxygen, and then click apply14:25
pietro10so even though kde-config-gtk says the currently applyed theme is oxygen, it's not really14:25

RishJi am using kubuntu 12.10LTS...i am having some problem with screen brightness..even when i reduce it it doesnt get reduced..can anyone help?16:44
yossarianukRishJ: what h/w are you using?16:55
yossarianukwhow are you reducing brighness also ?16:56
RishJwhat exactly are you asking for?16:57
=== mooky_ is now known as mooky
RishJyossarianuk: i dont think its hardware related..i guess its some issue with kubuntu17:06
yossarianukRishJ: well it likely is HW/driver related.17:07
yossarianuki.e if you had nvidia - the nvidia-settings WOULD work.17:07
RishJok...i dont have nvidia17:07
yossarianukI have a samsung netbook and the built in brightness settings do not work - until I install a driver....17:07
yossarianuk(that is intel h/w)17:07
yossarianukyou can change with xgamma17:08
yossarianuki.e try xgamma -gamma 1.117:08
RishJi have a samsung ultrabook17:08
RishJso how did you make it work then?17:09
yossarianukit is your h/w possibly17:09
yossarianukhttps://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa17:09
yossarianukI had to use the ppa17:09
yossarianuk(on my crappy samsung netbook)17:09
yossarianukyou'll likely have more luck with newer versions of kubuntu/ubuntu/whatever also.17:11
RishJ13.10 works just fine17:12
RishJbut i am using 12.10LTS for dev17:12
RishJas its stable17:12
yossarianuktry the ppa.17:12
yossarianukalso try installing a newer kernel17:12
yossarianuk3.2.x is not supported any longer17:12
yossarianukif you install ubuntu/kubuntu now you'll actually get 3.8.x kernel17:13
yossarianuksorry install 12.04.4 lts17:13
yossarianukyou will get 3.8.x kernel now17:13
RishJok cool...is there any way i can update directly from here17:14
RishJoh i am sorry..i am using 12.04 lts17:14
RishJi guess its 12.04.317:14
yossarianukwhat I mean is if you download the latest 12.04.x .iso you'll end up with kernel 3.8..17:15
RishJok..but can i update it from 12.04.3 ?17:15
yossarianukyou can download kernel 3.11 for lts version17:15
yossarianukjust17:15
yossarianuksudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-saucy sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-lts-saucy17:15
yossarianuki.e17:16
yossarianukhttp://www.leaseweblabs.com/2013/07/upgrade-ubuntu-12-04-lts-kernel-to-3-4/17:16
yossarianukyou'll probably need updated samsung tools though as well as kernel..17:17

SeanFromQueensI'm running Kubuntu 13.10 KDElibs 4.11.3, connected to my Wifi network, but can't see my NAS that is connected to my router (can see it on my Win7 partition)17:41
SeanFromQueensWhat should I be looking into to change so Dolphin File Manager can see network drives?17:42
hateballSeanFromQueens: are you looking for samba shares?17:42
SeanFromQueensI guess so, I was really hoping to just see resources connected to my network17:43
yossarianukSeanFromQueens: open dolphin17:43
hateballI don't recall if I've ever bothered to get browsing to work, but you can go to the location at smb://user@ip.address/resource17:44
yossarianukclick - network in the left menu17:44
yossarianukthen > samba shares17:44
=== AntiSpamMeta_ is now known as AntiSpamMeta
SeanFromQueensyossarianuk: the samba shares green plus sign turns to red minus sign17:45
SeanFromQueenshateball: typing the smb and the IP address jumped over whatever the barrier was, and now I can navigate around17:52
SeanFromQueenshateball: thank you very much17:52
hateballSeanFromQueens: no worries, as I said I never bothered getting browsing working... :p17:52
SeanFromQueensOne more question, when downloading a file from firefox, why isn't network and (very recently) created places available to 'save to'?17:55

=== shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer
SeanFromQueensSo does anyone know how to 'save to' samba shares directly from Firefox?18:09
BluesKajSeanFromQueens, in FF >edit>preferences>under "Downloads"> save files to 'whatever samba shared folder' you would like18:23
=== prodatalab_ is now known as prodatalab
BluesKajbut then, that target folder becomes the default for any downloaded file in FF, unless you change it if course18:25
SeanFromQueensBluesKaj: that gives me the same local choices (only file systems, home, and desktop)18:25
SeanFromQueensI even have a location shortcut on my desktop that is grayed out, and inaccessible from ff as download option18:26
SeanFromQueensbrowsing into the NAS is the central issue18:27
SeanFromQueensdolphin file manager has no issue navigating to the NAS, but it is the only app that can18:29
BluesKajyeah , I see what you mean, nor networked file destinations work , even if the path is typed in the searchbar18:30
BluesKajSeanFromQueens,^18:30
BluesKajthat's a bummer18:31
SeanFromQueensthanks for the sympathy BluesKaj18:31
BluesKajmy smb access suddenly stopped working, now i have to use fish, which is ok, but I prefer sftp18:33
fkmHi there. What can I do, to debug a USB device that is not recognized? Suddendly, my Android device doesn't show up as a device when connected. The hardware connection seems to work, as the "charging"-light on the device turns on, when I plug in the device. lsusb doesn't show any entry that I would identify as my device (Samsung Galaxy S3, i9300).19:50
fkmI don't know about any update that might be related. But honestly I didn't check as I don't know enough to know more after reading through the list of updated packages.19:51
BluesKajfkm, try this to see if your phone shows up, sudo lshw -C network19:58
fkmBluesKaj: Thank you for the tip! Unfortunately, it didn't work :-(20:00
fkmWhat I see though (through lsusb on the computer and the phone) is the USB-hub via which the device is connected. But not the device itself and I always used the USB-hub until now. I even tried to connect it directly to no avail.20:01
fkmlsusb output: http://pastebin.com/thpavpTL (1d6b is the hub).20:02
BluesKajfkm, did you try the lshw command after the direct connection?20:05
fkmBluesKaj: Nope. I will do that now.20:08
fkmStill nothing20:12
fkmI'll test it with another computer. My netbook must be lying around somewhere.20:14
BluesKajcan't the phone connect by wifi?20:18
fkmBluesKaj: Yes, it could in theory. But I would like to push some code to the device using ADB.20:21
fkmAnd I guess the problem lies with Android / the device. The netbook doesn't recognize it either and I didn't do any updates there in the past week.20:22
fkmThank you BluesKaj for your advice! :-)20:22
BluesKajADB?20:24
fkm"Android Debug Bridge"20:24
fkmA cli tool to control your Android device (or push/pull data to/from it)20:25
BluesKajfkm, my duaghter's LG phone connected without any probs here, but don't think she was pushing any code:)20:25
fkmWell. The worst part about my problem is, that last time I tried (about a week ago), everything worked like a charm.20:26
fkmSo I guessed that maybe a Kubuntu update made some changes as I didn't do any OS upgrades on the phone. But seems like there was a change on the phone after all :-)20:27
fkmI'll try another cable and then call it a night :-D20:27
fkmO. M. G.20:28
fkmIt actually was the cable -.-20:28
BluesKajoops :)20:28
fkmLesson learned: Don't leave your USB cables in the car for a week ;-)20:29
BluesKajok, I'll make a note of that20:29

keithzgHmphhh, how do I manually set a nameserver in this godforsaken age of resolvconf?22:40
dolomitekeithzg to add custom dns?22:44
dolomitemy understanding is that /etc/resolv.conf is constantly overwritten by resolvconf now22:44
dolomiteand I've seen a solution where you add "prepend domain-name-servers 10.1.2.3;" to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf22:45
tsimpsonmodify /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base to add custom stuff22:45
dolomitemine's empty22:47
tsimpsonit usually is22:47
dolomitebut you can treat it like we used to treat resolv.conf?22:47
dolomitenameserver xx.xx.xx.xx22:47
tsimpson/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base gets added (as if by cat) after any dynamic stuff from dhcp22:48
tsimpsonyep, just add your nameserver lines to it, or /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail22:49
dolomitewell I wasn't the one with the question but I learned something!22:49
dolomitethanks22:49
tsimpson/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail gets added only after some interface is configured, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base gets added always22:49
geniikeithzg: You can also do something like add into the /etc/network/interfaces file a post-up directive for the interface, like: post-up echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf23:10
keithzggenii, tsimpson: Thanks! I'll definitely keep all that in mind. In my case though it just turned out I needed to add the /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf script to my client's VPN .ovpn. Now to figure out why the GUI doesn't work...23:11
