Donald_ET3Are there any differences between Ubuntu and Fedora besides the desktop and package manager?00:15
roneythe first to come to my mind is font rendering00:16
roneyyou may need to perform some extra work to have better anti aliasing on Fedora00:16
Donald_ET3Picking a distro is so difficult.00:16
roneyIt depends a lot on your style of use. But I decided to use Kubuntu for it spare me from lots of annoying extra work.00:17
Donald_ET3Was it just the first GNU/Linux system you tried and had no reason to switch?00:18
roneyNope. I tried ArchLinux, Fedora (for a few days only), OpenSUSE, Mandriva, Ubuntu etc.00:21
Donald_ET3Okay.00:22
roneyAt first I liked to tweak the system. But with time I got tired of it and began to appreciate systems wich would let me do my work without interference.00:23

Alarmgood morning. i have just installed kde-plasma-desktop on my ubuntu box . during the installation an option appeared to select KDM or something else. my question is if i can run the apt-get install command to include also this selection of the installation08:00
Alarmi am trying to create a script that installs and starts kde without user interaction. so i would like to know if it is possible to put this selection also in the installation command08:00

BluesKajHiyas all11:38
=== claydoh_ is now known as claydoh
Alarmhello. i am creating a virtual machine and want the kde installation (on ubuntu) to be automatic. which means, i do install the packages, but there is a point where the system waits for user input , to choose kdm12:30
Alarmis there a way to do the apt-get install command with some sort of parameters to select also KDM without awaiting user interaction ?12:30
lordievaderAlarm: Why not simply do a Kubuntu install?12:33
Alarmcause its a vagrant box. and it comes plain without any desktop manager12:36
Alarmso i need to do an automated installation of kde on a ubuntu 13.10 system12:36
Alarmthe packages are being downloaded and installed. the problem is on the step with the KDM selection which i can't manage to make it automate it or ignore this step and configure it with a shell command12:37
BluesKajAlarm, why KDM , lightdm is default for ubuntu and kubuntu12:38
BluesKajuse the existing DM12:38
AlarmBluesKaj:  if i install the package kde-plasma-desktop12:41
Alarmthen i get the dialog in console to choose KDM12:41
Alarmis there any other package installation that i can avoid this step ?12:41
lordievaderAlarm: Install the kubuntu-desktop package.12:42
Alarmlordievader: ok i can give this a try to see if a i am been asked for kdm again12:45
BluesKajAlarm, yes follow lordievader's advice, kubuntu-desktop is all you need12:45
Alarmalright. thank you will give it a try12:47
lordievaderAlarm: That should pull in lightdm, not kdm.12:48
ikoniaI was about to ask if kdm was still being used12:55
lordievaderThat was what my Gentoo box installed, when I installed KDE.12:56
jussikdm still exists, but we use light dm as default, like BluesKaj mentioned12:56
ikoniaI thought kubuntu had also moved to lightdm by default too12:56
BluesKajikonia, it has12:57
ikoniaok good, thought I'd got it wrong12:57
excognachi all, how ddo i create a .html file in the easiest manner13:18
=== xstelce is now known as lisp102010
Alarmlordievader , BluesKaj  not good news. with the sudo apt-get -y  install kubuntu-desktop command13:54
Alarmi got many messages like: dpkg: error processing python-kde4 (--configure):13:54
Alarmand finally: Processing was halted because there were too many errors.13:54
Alarmfurthermore , this is a development environment . so i do not need koffice, ktorrent and all those things kubuntu-desktop offers , thats why i wanted to go lightweight with the installation13:55
excognacguys wich is the easiest to use html editer for kubuntu?14:15
excognacand the most stable one as blufish crashed like windows14:15
BluesKajAlarm, don't use the -y with installing desktops and metas, not good practice14:16
AlarmBluesKaj: as i said , i need to do the installation automaticaly , without any user interaction14:20
Alarmso -y is something i must use so that the automated tool will continue with the installation14:20
BluesKaji think the -y in the command permits unneeded packages to be installed that can conflict with defaults, but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, Alarm14:23
BluesKajlike saying yes to all14:24
AlarmBluesKaj:  i really don't know. thats why i am here :)14:24
BluesKajAlarm, then try the command without the -y14:28
BluesKajanyway, errands to run ...BBL14:31
DaveInFLCan someone help me with the KDE Parition Manager?  I've just connected another hard drive and I can set the disc label but not the mount point and thus, cannot mount any of the partitions :(14:37
=== sujith_h_ is now known as sujith_home
BluesKajDaveInFL, unmount the partitions first15:08
BluesKajthen check if they show up in dolphin/devices15:10
DaveInFLBluesKaj...it's not mounted currently15:10
BluesKajhave you rebooted since connecting the HDD?15:11
DaveInFLYes...the machine was off when I connected it.  I'm certainly not going to connect a HDD when the machine is running :)15:12
DaveInFLWhen I right click on the partition the mount item is greyed out15:12
BluesKajno that's not what i meant, run a b15:12
DaveInFLRun what?15:13
BluesKaja sudo blkid , then set them up in /etc/fstab15:13
DaveInFLSo, I have to manually add these new mount points to /etc/fstab? Under Magiea I never had to do that :(15:14
BluesKajlike so , http://pastebin.com/SbPwHScd15:17
BluesKajis there an OS on this hdd or is it just for data?15:19
DaveInFLThere is no OS on the HDD, just three partitions all ext4.15:21
DaveInFLI am just confused as to why I cannot mount them! Perhaps with Kubuntu it's more manual process and they have to be in /etc/fstab before they can be mounted.  Under Magiea it would do that work for you via the GUI partition tool.15:22
BluesKajwhy 3 partitions15:22
BluesKajhmm wait a sec, let me check something, I also have 2 external drives, one for data and another with W7 , but they nolonger show up either , but they're listed in dolphin under devices15:24
BluesKajand accessible15:24
DaveInFLWhy three partitions? It's a HDD that I had used under Mageia and didn't have it connected when I installed Kubuntu..wanted to be extra safe that it didn't get formatted/wiped when I did the install :) Just being extra cautious.  So, the three partitions existed from another Linux distro and all have data on.15:26
DaveInFLI also see them under Dolphin and I can see the files!15:27
DaveInFLSeems that the three partitions are mounted under the media directory...this is kind of frustrating to be honest.  Can't seem to change the mount point!15:30
DaveInFLNot sure if that is something that Dolphin did!  But under KDE partition I cannot change the mount point.  Do I need to run KDE partition as root? If so what's the command for that?15:32
AlarmBluesKaj: if i remove the -y then it wont be installed automaticaly. i use Vagrand to run a box and do the entire installation automaticaly15:35
Alarmwhich means there should not be any user input. so if the installation of kubuntu asks "(y) for yes to install all the packages"15:35
Alarmthere wont be anyone there to hit the button15:35
=== rani is now known as vaibhavi
BluesKajDaveInFL, dolphin should show the devices in the left hand pane like so, http://imagebin.org/300561 , you may have to use ctrl - to reduce the size of the image since it's taken from my desktop which is connected to a big screen tv15:46
BluesKajDaveInFL, highlight the partition in dolphin then in file properties set the advanced permissions to read/write rw15:51
BluesKajAlarm, make sure you have all updates and upgrades up to date on your OS before installing kubuntu-desktop, sry I should have mentioned that earlier15:55

Alarmonce i install the kubuntu packages16:09
Alarmis there a way to start the window manager and log in to kde without rebooting ?16:09
Alarmok i installed KDE on ubuntu .16:09
Alarmnormaly there should be something like 'startx' , or /etc/init.d/kdm start16:10
Alarmnone of them work though16:10
Alarmmy mistake , startx worked16:10
Alarmhad to use sudo :/16:11
Alarmbut what if i want to startx as a simple user16:11
Alarmi cant  ?16:11
DarthFrogAlarm:  The system didn't boot to a graphical login screen?16:12
AlarmDarthFrog: after installing kde on kubuntu , i do not want to restart the machine16:12
DarthFrogAlarm:  Try  "sudo service lightdm start".16:12
Alarmi want directly to start the KDE16:13
Alarmbut what if i want to start it as a simple user ? not as a root ?16:13
DarthFrogThen startx should work.16:13
Alarmi want to login on KDE as a simple user as i would if i would restart my system and put my credentials in the login screen16:13
DarthFrogThat's what lightdm does.16:13
DarthFrogTry it.16:14
Alarmok, have to rerun the entire installation process of install and let you know in a few minutes16:14
DarthFrog????16:14
AlarmDarthFrog: i am using vagrant. automated configuration. so i have to go through the process from the start16:15

kyfellaHey ya'll.  I had to backup a bunch of data and compressed it into a filename.tar.xz.  Rebuilt my Linux box to 13.10.  I am having some problems getting the tar.xz extracted.  Ark can't handle it because its too big.  I am trying unxz and get unxz: 20140318-backup1.tar.xz: File format not recognized.17:48
kyfella 17:48
kyfellaCan anyone throw me a bone in how to get this data out of that xz file.  I figured out how to compress it, but darned if I can get it uncompressed lol17:49
lordievaderkyfella: What command did you use to make it? Also what does 'file <filename>.tar.xz' say about it?17:49
kyfellawhat do you mean lordie?  Sorry, from where I was having problems yesterday with the double/triple clicking issue, I backed it all up and scrapped the OS, rebuilt 13.04, then upgraded distro to 13.1017:50
BluesKajkyfella, use unp, it uncompresses most compressed file afaik17:51
wxlor unar kyfella17:51
lordievaderkyfella: You compressed it with something, with what command did you compress?17:51
kyfellai am looking to see, 1 sec17:51

BluesKajguess you won't use tar xz anymore18:09
kyfellawell, actually I like it.  it gives you the maximum of compression18:09
kyfellaI figured it out a long time ago, but hadn't used it in a long long time18:10
BluesKajkyfella, why compress so hard if it's so difficult to extract? no need for that kind of compression any more18:11

kyfella-o specifys output directory, default is pwd.  But I didn't specify the output directory and it seems it ended up in /home/mustang18:34
