Donald_ET3 | Are there any differences between Ubuntu and Fedora besides the desktop and package manager? | 00:15 |
---|---|---|
roney | the first to come to my mind is font rendering | 00:16 |
roney | you may need to perform some extra work to have better anti aliasing on Fedora | 00:16 |
Donald_ET3 | Picking a distro is so difficult. | 00:16 |
roney | It 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_ET3 | Was it just the first GNU/Linux system you tried and had no reason to switch? | 00:18 |
roney | Nope. I tried ArchLinux, Fedora (for a few days only), OpenSUSE, Mandriva, Ubuntu etc. | 00:21 |
Donald_ET3 | Okay. | 00:22 |
roney | At 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 |

Alarm | good 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 installation | 08:00 |
Alarm | i 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 command | 08:00 |

BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:38 |
=== claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
Alarm | hello. 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 kdm | 12:30 |
Alarm | is 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 |
lordievader | Alarm: Why not simply do a Kubuntu install? | 12:33 |
Alarm | cause its a vagrant box. and it comes plain without any desktop manager | 12:36 |
Alarm | so i need to do an automated installation of kde on a ubuntu 13.10 system | 12:36 |
Alarm | the 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 command | 12:37 |
BluesKaj | Alarm, why KDM , lightdm is default for ubuntu and kubuntu | 12:38 |
BluesKaj | use the existing DM | 12:38 |
Alarm | BluesKaj: if i install the package kde-plasma-desktop | 12:41 |
Alarm | then i get the dialog in console to choose KDM | 12:41 |
Alarm | is there any other package installation that i can avoid this step ? | 12:41 |
lordievader | Alarm: Install the kubuntu-desktop package. | 12:42 |
Alarm | lordievader: ok i can give this a try to see if a i am been asked for kdm again | 12:45 |
BluesKaj | Alarm, yes follow lordievader's advice, kubuntu-desktop is all you need | 12:45 |
Alarm | alright. thank you will give it a try | 12:47 |
lordievader | Alarm: That should pull in lightdm, not kdm. | 12:48 |
ikonia | I was about to ask if kdm was still being used | 12:55 |
lordievader | That was what my Gentoo box installed, when I installed KDE. | 12:56 |
jussi | kdm still exists, but we use light dm as default, like BluesKaj mentioned | 12:56 |
ikonia | I thought kubuntu had also moved to lightdm by default too | 12:56 |
BluesKaj | ikonia, it has | 12:57 |
ikonia | ok good, thought I'd got it wrong | 12:57 |
excognac | hi all, how ddo i create a .html file in the easiest manner | 13:18 |
=== xstelce is now known as lisp102010 | ||
Alarm | lordievader , BluesKaj not good news. with the sudo apt-get -y install kubuntu-desktop command | 13:54 |
Alarm | i got many messages like: dpkg: error processing python-kde4 (--configure): | 13:54 |
Alarm | and finally: Processing was halted because there were too many errors. | 13:54 |
Alarm | furthermore , 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 installation | 13:55 |
excognac | guys wich is the easiest to use html editer for kubuntu? | 14:15 |
excognac | and the most stable one as blufish crashed like windows | 14:15 |
BluesKaj | Alarm, don't use the -y with installing desktops and metas, not good practice | 14:16 |
Alarm | BluesKaj: as i said , i need to do the installation automaticaly , without any user interaction | 14:20 |
Alarm | so -y is something i must use so that the automated tool will continue with the installation | 14:20 |
BluesKaj | i 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, Alarm | 14:23 |
BluesKaj | like saying yes to all | 14:24 |
Alarm | BluesKaj: i really don't know. thats why i am here :) | 14:24 |
BluesKaj | Alarm, then try the command without the -y | 14:28 |
BluesKaj | anyway, errands to run ...BBL | 14:31 |
DaveInFL | Can 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 | ||
BluesKaj | DaveInFL, unmount the partitions first | 15:08 |
BluesKaj | then check if they show up in dolphin/devices | 15:10 |
DaveInFL | BluesKaj...it's not mounted currently | 15:10 |
BluesKaj | have you rebooted since connecting the HDD? | 15:11 |
DaveInFL | Yes...the machine was off when I connected it. I'm certainly not going to connect a HDD when the machine is running :) | 15:12 |
DaveInFL | When I right click on the partition the mount item is greyed out | 15:12 |
BluesKaj | no that's not what i meant, run a b | 15:12 |
DaveInFL | Run what? | 15:13 |
BluesKaj | a sudo blkid , then set them up in /etc/fstab | 15:13 |
DaveInFL | So, I have to manually add these new mount points to /etc/fstab? Under Magiea I never had to do that :( | 15:14 |
BluesKaj | like so , http://pastebin.com/SbPwHScd | 15:17 |
BluesKaj | is there an OS on this hdd or is it just for data? | 15:19 |
DaveInFL | There is no OS on the HDD, just three partitions all ext4. | 15:21 |
DaveInFL | I 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 |
BluesKaj | why 3 partitions | 15:22 |
BluesKaj | hmm 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 devices | 15:24 |
BluesKaj | and accessible | 15:24 |
DaveInFL | Why 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 |
DaveInFL | I also see them under Dolphin and I can see the files! | 15:27 |
DaveInFL | Seems 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 |
DaveInFL | Not 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 |
Alarm | BluesKaj: if i remove the -y then it wont be installed automaticaly. i use Vagrand to run a box and do the entire installation automaticaly | 15:35 |
Alarm | which 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 |
Alarm | there wont be anyone there to hit the button | 15:35 |
=== rani is now known as vaibhavi | ||
BluesKaj | DaveInFL, 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 tv | 15:46 |
BluesKaj | DaveInFL, highlight the partition in dolphin then in file properties set the advanced permissions to read/write rw | 15:51 |
BluesKaj | Alarm, make sure you have all updates and upgrades up to date on your OS before installing kubuntu-desktop, sry I should have mentioned that earlier | 15:55 |

Alarm | is there a way to start the window manager and log in to kde without rebooting ? | 16:09 |
Alarm | ok i installed KDE on ubuntu . | 16:09 |
Alarm | normaly there should be something like 'startx' , or /etc/init.d/kdm start | 16:10 |
Alarm | none of them work though | 16:10 |
Alarm | my mistake , startx worked | 16:10 |
Alarm | had to use sudo :/ | 16:11 |
Alarm | but what if i want to startx as a simple user | 16:11 |
Alarm | i cant ? | 16:11 |
DarthFrog | Alarm: The system didn't boot to a graphical login screen? | 16:12 |
Alarm | DarthFrog: after installing kde on kubuntu , i do not want to restart the machine | 16:12 |
DarthFrog | Alarm: Try "sudo service lightdm start". | 16:12 |
Alarm | i want directly to start the KDE | 16:13 |
Alarm | but what if i want to start it as a simple user ? not as a root ? | 16:13 |
DarthFrog | Then startx should work. | 16:13 |
Alarm | i 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 screen | 16:13 |
DarthFrog | That's what lightdm does. | 16:13 |
DarthFrog | Try it. | 16:14 |
Alarm | ok, have to rerun the entire installation process of install and let you know in a few minutes | 16:14 |
DarthFrog | ???? | 16:14 |
Alarm | DarthFrog: i am using vagrant. automated configuration. so i have to go through the process from the start | 16:15 |
DarthFrog | Never heard of it. | 16:16 |
Alarm | great tool | 16:17 |
Alarm | DarthFrog: | 16:19 |
Alarm | so first sudo service lightdm start | 16:19 |
Alarm | and then as a simple user startx | 16:19 |

kyfella | Hey 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 | |
kyfella | Can 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 lol | 17:49 |
lordievader | kyfella: What command did you use to make it? Also what does 'file <filename>.tar.xz' say about it? | 17:49 |
kyfella | what 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 13.10 | 17:50 |
BluesKaj | kyfella, use unp, it uncompresses most compressed file afaik | 17:51 |
wxl | or unar kyfella | 17:51 |
lordievader | kyfella: You compressed it with something, with what command did you compress? | 17:51 |
kyfella | i am looking to see, 1 sec | 17:51 |
wxl | kyfella: look in your bash history | 17:51 |
kyfella | can't, OS was scrapped | 17:52 |
kyfella | I rebuilt it after the compression | 17:52 |
wxl | aw, boo | 17:52 |

lordievader | kyfella: BluesKaj's tar -xJf should work. | 18:06 |

lordievader | kyfella: Than you didn't make it with the -J flag, -j perhaps? Anyhow I'm still waiting for the output of 'file <filename>'. | 18:09 |
BluesKaj | guess you won't use tar xz anymore | 18:09 |
kyfella | well, actually I like it. it gives you the maximum of compression | 18:09 |
kyfella | I figured it out a long time ago, but hadn't used it in a long long time | 18:10 |
BluesKaj | kyfella, why compress so hard if it's so difficult to extract? no need for that kind of compression any more | 18:11 |
kyfella | Limitation on drive space | 18:11 |
kyfella | only reason | 18:11 |
BluesKaj | really now ... | 18:12 |
kyfella | Lordie, even after teh rebuild of my 13.10 Kubuntu I am still having the double triple clicking problem. Does anyone know of a bug surronding optical mice in 13.10? | 18:12 |
lordievader | kyfella: Could you please give me the output of the file command? | 18:12 |
kyfella | the output of which file command? This one? tar -Jxf 20140318-backup2.tar.xz | 18:13 |

lordievader | kyfella: Right so you didn't use the -J flag: tar -zxvf <file> | 18:16 |
kyfella | I tried that too, same result | 18:16 |
kyfella | right now the unar is uncompressign the xz to tar | 18:16 |
lordievader | Hmm perhaps renaming it to .tar.gz first helps. | 18:17 |
wxl | kyfella: so unar it again | 18:17 |
kyfella | hmm | 18:23 |
kyfella | it unar it to a directory named 20140318-backup1.tar but there is nothing in it | 18:24 |
kyfella | Extraction to directory "20140318-backup1.tar" failed (9 files failed.) | 18:24 |
kyfella | does the unar extract files directly into your home drive path? | 18:32 |
lordievader | kyfella: I suppose is pwd, but do read the man page. | 18:33 |
kyfella | -o specifys output directory, default is pwd. But I didn't specify the output directory and it seems it ended up in /home/mustang | 18:34 |
kyfella | ok hmm, well lol. I think I am going to try another one of my xz archives and see what happens there lol | 18:45 |
kyfella | unar is a little bit buggy | 18:52 |
kyfella | i specified my output directory as my home directory and it puts it in media | 18:53 |
