[00:16] <ejm> I have a Micron Transport T2200 laptop, which everything is working fine except for one thing:  the screen goes black after a while, and but the keyboard, hdd, and power button still work.
[00:16] <ejm> There is an ATI Raedon FireGL 9000 (not sure if that's a chipset or videocard) if that helps.
[00:17] <Poisoned_Dragon> Get a really bright flash light, and hold the bright end against the screen, while on. Do you see the desktop?
[00:17] <ejm> I also tried disabling some power settings like turning off the screen, and that didn't work.  But I do have pretty smooth graphics
[00:17] <ejm> lol
[00:17] <Poisoned_Dragon> I'm not kidding.
[00:18] <Poisoned_Dragon> Before you go chasing your tail, make sure it's not the lcd inverter board.
[00:18] <Poisoned_Dragon> if there is still an image on the lcd, but no light, you may have a faulty inverter board.
[00:19] <ejm> could be. I don't have a flashlight with me. using an internet cafe.  It's really really old (first gen. intel centrino).
[00:19] <Poisoned_Dragon> lol... that's me too.
[00:20] <Poisoned_Dragon> Centrino is just Pentium M paired with a compatible intel wifi card.
[00:20] <ejm> I thought that it was an old ati issue, but I think its the backlight.
[00:21] <Poisoned_Dragon> The flash light, while the screen is dark will confirm, one way or the other.
[00:22] <Poisoned_Dragon> If no image, then a setting isn't being recognized by the system.
[00:23] <ejm> ok I will try that.

[08:21] <maysara> Hi, How to change Dolphin's default columns used in Details View?
[08:24] <qdata> only thing I know about that is to right click on the sort bar at top for the drop-down
[08:24] <qdata> other than that no clue
[08:33] <maysara> The problem is if I've audio files, I can't select anything from the audio category like this: http://i.imgur.com/tGkDoI1.png
[08:41] <qdata> I see, looks like they're greyed out on yours but on my box I can add them as columns in Dolphin but after doing so the column(s) remain blank with no info in them
[08:42] <qdata> running 13.10 here with KDE 4.12.1
[09:09] <maysara> So is there any solution to this problem?
[09:09] <qdata> if there is I do not know
[09:52] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:40] <dd77> hello!
[10:41] <lordievader> Hey dd77
[10:41] <dd77> i have kde for 13.10 but not for 12.04
[10:41] <dd77> do i make something wrong?
[10:42] <dd77> or there is no update for kde 4.12.1 for 12.04
[10:43] <lordievader> !info kdelibs-bin precise
[10:44] <mjee> Michael?
[10:49] <jarkko_> what is akonadi?
[10:53] <fkm> jarkko_: http://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi
[10:53] <jarkko_> do i lose anything if i disable it?
[10:54] <fkm> Do you use any application that uses Akonadi (e.g. Kmail)?
[10:54] <jarkko_> i am not using kmail...
[10:55] <fkm> If you don't use an application that uses the Akonadi framework, you'll be fine.
[10:56] <jarkko_> any idea how to remove?
[10:56] <jarkko_> sudo apt-get remove akonadi doesnt work
[10:57] <fkm> Google tells me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764048
[10:57] <jarkko_> lol i just opened that before you posted
[10:58] <fkm> :-)
[10:58] <jarkko_> but i want to remove...
[10:58] <fkm> That's where "Ask Google first" comes from ;-)
[10:58] <fkm> Ok
[11:02] <jarkko_> is it normal that i have 2 lightdm running as service?
[11:37] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[12:28] <poee> hi.. my windows are grayed out like this : http://i.imgur.com/nULNuXM.jpg. it comes back to normal after a restart. can anyone help?
[13:03] <nutomic> hi,i need some help
[13:03] <nutomic> my kubuntu doesnt boot anymore after running apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:09] <lordievader> nutomic: Does it hang? If so, on what?
[13:12] <nutomic> i'm trying to get the boot log dumped, but i don't see how
[13:12] <nutomic> there's a red fail on "starting reload cups"
[13:13] <nutomic> and on "stopping anachronistic cron" and on "starting send an event to indicate plymouth is up"
[13:13] <nutomic> last message is "stopping startpar bridge"
[13:13] <lordievader> nutomic: Hmm, cups shouldn't matter. The other two are more critical. What happens when you boot into the rescue mode?
[13:13] <lordievader> !rescue
[13:13] <nutomic> here's the log of the dist-upgrade that broke it http://paste.kde.org/pkofue9gl
[13:13] <lordievader> Hmm, that is not really what I mean.... Ignore ubottu.
[13:15] <nutomic> ok i will try that
[13:16] <lordievader> nutomic: It is a good idea to pay attention to what it tells you, it has removed a lot of necesarry kde packages.
[13:17] <nutomic> lordievader: yeah i know that now :P
[13:24] <BluesKaj> nutomic, try the rescue kernel in grub, then choose 'repair broken packages' , if you can boot to the gruib menu
[13:25] <nutomic> BluesKaj: thx, will try that while the image downloads
[13:25] <nutomic> although apt-get shows nothing unusual
[13:26] <BluesKaj> nutomic, always apt-get update and upgrade, before dist-upgrade
[13:27] <nutomic> well i did that
[13:28] <BluesKaj> ok good
[13:31] <lordievader> nutomic: Also reinstall the kubuntu-desktop package.
[13:35] <nutomic> lordievader: that gives me tons of errors "Depends [package] but is not going to be installed"
[13:35] <nutomic> where [package] is ark, okular, systemsettings and others
[13:37] <BluesKaj> nutomic, how did you install the OS, and is this a new install ?
[13:38] <nutomic> not a new install#what do you mean how did i install it?
[13:38] <nutomic> ok, did another apt-get update and now reinstalling kubuntu-desktop seems to work
[13:39] <nutomic> lets hope for the best
[13:39] <BluesKaj> did you upgrade over the internet or do cleqan install from media iso
[13:39] <BluesKaj> clean
[13:40] <nutomic> i had this running for a while already, and did upgrades etc before
[13:40] <nutomic> but it seems like it might work now
[13:45] <nutomic> it works now :)
[13:45] <nutomic> thanks for the help guys
[13:47] <lordievader> \o/
[13:48] <monkeyjuice> we use heated garages here in michigan ;)
[13:48] <monkeyjuice> woops lol sorry
[13:52] <BluesKaj> no need to rub it in monkeyjuice ,my neighbours have attached heated garages, but i wouldn't want to pay their heating bills :)
[13:52] <monkeyjuice> we use heated garages here in michigan ;)
[13:52] <monkeyjuice> hahah
[13:55] <yossarianuk> monkeyjuice: are they 'heated' or are you growing things in them...
[13:55] <monkeyjuice> no im not of that generation ...
[14:07] <LucidGuy> I just noticed my lower panel is not showing me my time.. I can't recall if it ever did?  And sadly its not very obvious how to get it back.

[17:21] <melkor> Hello, I am trying setup some antispam for kmail.
[17:25] <melkor> I suppose Ill try spamassassin.
[17:30] <melkor> Does anybody know how to use kmail. I want to classify a message as spam. When I left click it loads the message and all of the images.
[17:37] <melkor> Hmm, it looks like it is set not to load html ... Ill have to investigate later. Cheers.
[18:57] <xforks> Hello, is there any reason why kubuntu 14 has the older version of firefox instead of the latest stable?
[18:59] <lordievader> !info firefox saucy
[18:59] <lordievader> !info firefox trusty
[19:00] <xforks> lordievader, i'm on 14.4 and it uses FF 25?
[19:00] <lordievader> xforks: Ah, 27.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu1 is in proposed.
[19:01] <lordievader> Hmm, since 2014-01-15...
[19:01] <lordievader> This is probably the reason: trusty arm64 Failed to build
[19:01] <xforks> Lordievader, doesn't make much sense to me. I think 13.10 has 27
[19:01] <xforks> ah
[19:02] <lordievader> xforks: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/firefox
[19:04] <xforks> lordievader, yeah that does make sense lol. Got confused over the whole thing. 25 works fine, so no hurries :)
[19:04] <lordievader> xforks: I suppose it will be fixed before the release of Trusty.
[19:20] <BluesKaj> firefox isn't displaying some buttons and icons correctly here on 14.04, appears to be a GTK icons problem from what i can see
[19:24] <BluesKaj> like so: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/02/11/snapshot2.png
[19:40] <xforks> BluesKaj, are you using amd64?
[19:42] <BluesKaj> intel 64 bit
[19:42] <BluesKaj> same thing
[19:44] <lordievader> Amd invented it, hence (one of its) name(s)
[19:44] <BluesKaj> yup
[19:45] <xforks> weird then, i never noticed that particular bug
[20:17] <dmatt> I have KDE 4.12.1 installed from ppa, but today i noticed some updates with versions 4.11.5. For example kwin is at 4.11.5, kde-runtime is 4.12.1. Is this OK?
[20:19] <lordievader> dmatt: Do you have Precise installed? I've looked through the backports today for precise and saw the same thing.
[20:20] <dmatt> lordievader: saucy
[20:23] <rberg> not all packages got a update with 4.12.1,  about kde will still show 4.12.1 after those 4.11.5 packages are installed
[20:24] <lordievader> dmatt: I see here that most is 4.12, yet a few are 4.11.5 indeed. Not really sure why they have  4.11.5. https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports/+index?field.series_filter=saucy&batch=75&memo=75&start=75
[20:25] <dmatt> I checked  available versions for kwin and only 4.11.x are available
[20:28] <dmatt> it is probably OK, but it destroyed my peace of mind :)
[21:18] <naftilos76> Hi, what are the kmail related files / folders in my ~/ ?
[21:19] <naftilos76> I know ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail2. Are there any other files?
[21:20] <naftilos76> I need to earesa everything related to kmail so that when i restart kmail all these files will be created again with default settings
[21:25] <rberg> naftilos76: kmail keeps your actual mail in akonadi's database
[21:25] <rberg> so there is all that
[21:26] <naftilos76> I know that. The path is ~/.local/share akonadi/
[21:26] <naftilos76> I am asking if there are any other folders or files that are somehow related to kmail
[21:28] <naftilos76> For example, kmail keeps its' settings no matter what i do , that is erase the kmail2 folder or the akonadi folder!
[21:28] <naftilos76> There is got to be an other file that kmail keeps its' settings in there
[21:29] <rberg> there is also ~/.kde/share/config/kmail*
[21:29] <naftilos76> ok thanks!
[21:29] <rberg> btw, I tried so hard to be able to use kmail, and had many problems
[21:30] <naftilos76> Well yes kmail has been abandoned to its' misery. Everything points to that
[22:26] <alphacobra1> who can point me to a good tutorial on dealing with tar.gz files?
[22:27] <hewhomust> alphacobra1: what do you want to know about them?
[22:29] <alphacobra1> what to do after unpacking them. How to change directory...then what?
[22:31] <hewhomust> alphacobra1 just cd into the directory where you unpacked it
[22:33] <allen999> On the Kubuntu Live DVD is it possible to apt-get new software?
[22:36] <hewhomust> allen999: just try it
[22:40] <allen999> hm okay I got it, it was giving me errors before but first you have to apt-get update
[22:41] <alphacobra1> then what?
[22:42] <alphacobra1> do i need to be su
[22:50] <alphacobra1> taaa for the help!!
[23:07] <weqg> Hi I have a problem with kubuntu.
[23:08] <weqg> I didn't do any evil things, and now kde isn't shown at the login switcher anymore
[23:08] <weqg> only xfce
[23:09] <weqg> what can I do? I want KDE
[23:12] <DarthFrog> weqg: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop --reinstall
[23:13] <weqg> It says: kubuntu-desktop needs kde-workspace which shouldn't be installed
[23:14] <DarthFrog> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:14] <DarthFrog> All on one line.
[23:22] <weqg> It works now :-)
[23:23] <weqg> DarthFrog: thank you
[23:23] <weqg> what could have been the reason?
