cjwelbornarg. My system freezes when watching youtube videos in google chrome, and when full screening games on Steam. Something that has to do with video must be causing it, but I have no idea how to check. I can find anything in dmesg, syslog, faillog, and don't know where else to check. 13.10 64bit laptop.01:15

cjwelborncool thanks topoi_01:17
topoi_it converts youtube, vimeo, etc. to a stream viewable in VLC. you're welcome :)01:18
Unit193Or, you could use the network tab in VLC, it supports YouTube directly.  Could also try http://youtube.com/html5  I'd also wonder what's in xorg.log, and if you can ssh in.01:21
cjwelborngood point Unit193, I didn't think of that. I'm gonna try it.01:24

thechrisHi, does anyone know how to get KDE to use dual monitors?04:50
thechrisRight now, I've got two monitors that display the desktop,  but only one will accept applications.04:50
thechriseg, there is no edge that I can move applications across.  They just do the smart maximize.04:51
thechrisobviously "desktop 1" vs "desktop 2" isn't the issue either.04:52
thechrisThe mouse will move to the other screen though.04:52

amichairI did an upgrade to kde 4.12.2 and (from ubuntu repos) kernel 3.11.0-17. After reboot I had no GUI. I removed all nvidia drivers and installed nvidia-319-updates and got GUI back, but there are no HDMI sound devices recognized. How do I get things working again?08:25
amichairhmmm... lspci says configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel but vendor: NVIDIA Corporation, is that the problem?08:28

amichairvalorie: video is working, but the hdmi audio device is gone09:13
valoriea new drivers update hit lately, I think09:13
amichairin system settings -> multimedia there's only the 'built-in audio analog stereo' option now09:14
amichairI actually just installed the nvidia 331.49 drivers straight from the nvidia site, but it's the same. I don't know if the problem is in the kde 4.12.2 update or ubuntu kernel update that is causing this09:15
amichairvalorie: any idea how to check  where exactly things broke?09:16
valoriemy only expertise is from fixing broken stuff in the past09:16

valoriesort of a slow time here usually09:18
amichairhmmm... I think it's a kde bug09:22
amichairif I mess around with the hardware tab (changing profiles) then suddenly new options appear in the device preference tab09:23
amichairbut only one of them can be used according to selected profile (analog audio or hdmi output), whereas in the past I could pick them out on the device list and prioritize09:25
amichairif I'm understanding the new settings behavior, from now on I will need to change the settings every time I want to switch from watching TV to listening to music and select the output profile manually. That sucks :-/09:29
valorie:(09:29
valorieI don't know which team is doing that sort of stuff -- could be solid, which handles hardware09:30

dubisBlueKaj: I try to downgrade the java plugin of rekonq12:38
dubisBlueKaj: May be do know the path of the plugin directory of rekonq12:39

dubissnob12:43
dubisBluesKaj, after reading this page https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?59227-Rekonq-plugin-path%28s%29 should be   /usr/lib/browser/plugins12:53

osbinashi all how to make root user activated in logon manager?15:57
osbinasat start up :)?15:57
BluesKaj!root15:58
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo15:58
BluesKajosbinas, use the user and password you chose during the installation procedure16:00
osbinasbut how to enable it im allready got  settup root user just i need to let me logon with him at startup16:02
osbinaswhere i can find file something like that BluesKaj16:02
osbinaskdmrc or some thin glike that :)16:03
BluesKajosbinas, sorry Idon't know what you mean root user, pls read the ubottu post above16:18
osbinasat logon i system i wana choise use regular user and super user "root" how to enable it?16:19
BluesKajin the terminal or virtual terminal it's sudo su16:20

hovgaardHowdy oki I did it I just quickly jad to see the new gnome so sudo-apt install ubuntu-desktop gnome-shell. Then I had fun for10 minutes and said no more back to my nice friend kde again, but now gnome-keyring keeps bugging me it has replaced kwallet and made my life miserable :-) I cant really seem to find a fix for it17:03
hovgaardI tried chmod -x on /etc/gnome-keyring* but didnt really fix my problem any ideas better than a reinstall would be lovely17:04
=== guinness is now known as Guest4963
lordievaderhovgaard: /etc is usually where the config files are stored the executables you can find with: whereis gnome-keyring17:07
lordievaderThere is probably a cleaner way to disableing gnome-keyring (like uninstalling), but since I don't use it I don't know.17:08

apb1963_How can I add a command to my right-click menu?  Specifically, when I right-click on a pdf file in Konsole, it will bring up a file manager and then I can bring up a pdf viewer.  I want to skip the file manager and go directly to the pdf viewer... or - ideally - other appropriate application as called for by the extension.22:15
valorieapb1963_: isn't there a box to check to make that happen?22:46
valorieif not, check in systemsettings, and set it there22:46
en1gmai just installed ubuntu desktop 13.06 is there an easy way to install kubuntu22:55
en1gmai dont want to do it all over again (took an hr)22:55
apb1963_en1gma, how did you install it the first time?22:57
en1gmaunetbootin to my sd card then used that to install to hdd22:57
en1gmaexternal hdd22:57
apb1963_valorie, I don't see a box... where in system settings please?22:57
valorieworkspace behavior > default applications22:58
apb1963_en1gma, where was all the time spent?22:59
en1gmawaiting for it to install. mostly downloading22:59
apb1963_valorie, I see workspace behavior... I don't see default apps.23:00
apb1963_en1gma, How about downloading an iso first?23:00
en1gmahow about i would have done that before i would have taken the trouble to do it through two different usb sticks and then break out my ext hdd23:01
en1gmai dont have any blank media and putting iso onto usb stick always problems23:01
valorieapb1963_: also there is file associations, where you can configure which pdf reader23:02
valorieen1gma: install kubuntu-desktop23:02
valorieno need for an iso again23:03
en1gmai do that from a term?23:03
valorieyou will have both unity and kde desktops though23:03
en1gmamore bloat*  oh well23:03
valorieyou can do that from the cli or using synaptic or whatever you like23:03
valorieyou can uninstall unity if you don't want it23:04
valorie!kde23:04
ubottuKDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop.  To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See  http://kubuntu.org for more information.23:04
apb1963_valorie, I saw the file associations... but I don't think that's the issue?23:04
valorieit isn't "bloat" it is a different desktop and set of applications23:04
valorieyou could have had just kde had you chosen the kubuntu iso rather than the ubuntu23:05
valorieapb1963_: I misspoke; the default applications doesn't cover PDF23:06
valorie:(23:06
apb1963_hmm23:06
valorieI should have checked that first23:06
apb1963_:)23:06
apb1963_so really that brings up an interesting question.... how does one add to that list of "services" on the default applications window?23:09
apb1963_which I'm guessing is the place to add what I want, to get the behavior I want.23:09
valorieapb1963_: I guess that would be a #kde question23:17
valorieor maybe it is because we don't provide a default PDF reader23:19
valoriethat's possible23:19
