| TheShagg | Hey all, I just installed kubuntu in a virtualbox environment with 8 gb of space and my home folder has 0 bytes of space and using it is nearly impossible | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| TheShagg | whats the best course of action to fix this | 00:49 |
| TheShagg | any ideas? | 00:50 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Guest73221 | ||
| TheShagg | *sigh*... no idea how this file system is layed out | 00:59 |
| Roey | hey how do I install kickoff | 01:03 |
| Roey | ? | 01:03 |
| yruss | Lol This channel is as dead as death. :) | 01:44 |
| TheShagg | yes it is | 01:46 |
| TheShagg | why does hitting right ctrl + f8 act very badly | 01:46 |
| TheShagg | how the heck do I use multiple desktops | 01:58 |
| roney | TheShagg, what do you mean? | 02:01 |
| roney | switching between them? | 02:01 |
| TheShagg | i remember when I used to use linux there was a nice icon with a grid of 4 workspaces | 02:02 |
| roney | unlock your widgets then add the pager widget to your task bar | 02:02 |
| roney | that's it | 02:02 |
| TheShagg | how would a person know this? | 02:03 |
| roney | also, you can switch between multiple desktop by pressing ctrl+f<number of your desktop> | 02:03 |
| roney | well, I know | 02:03 |
| TheShagg | i see, when I search "desktop" it doesnt show up - only a bunch of lame crap | 02:03 |
| TheShagg | but when i search the plural form, it shows up | 02:03 |
| roney | not that, by default you kde comes with a single desktop enable | 02:04 |
| roney | enabled | 02:04 |
| roney | go to system settings to add more | 02:04 |
| TheShagg | roney: they sure hide that setting well | 02:16 |
| TheShagg | cant find it | 02:16 |
| roney | Workspace Behavior > Virtual Desktops | 02:17 |
| roney | I guess that's how it is in english. | 02:17 |
| TheShagg | yeah, thanks | 02:18 |
| TheShagg | i appreciate the help | 02:19 |
| roney | you're welcome | 02:20 |
| sledge | hey guys i have a problem with muon software manager | 03:05 |
| roney | which problem? | 03:07 |
| sledge | well | 03:07 |
| sledge | it says Could not download packages | 03:08 |
| sledge | whenever i try to update | 03:08 |
| roney | try changing your mirrors | 03:08 |
| sledge | mirrors? what you mean the source list? | 03:08 |
| roney | sledge, yes. I mean the server you're currently downloading from. | 03:10 |
| roney | sledge, or try to upate from the command line and see what happens. | 03:10 |
| sledge | sudo apt-get install update??? | 03:11 |
| roney | that will just update your sources list | 03:11 |
| roney | but it helps | 03:11 |
| roney | do that and see what happens | 03:11 |
| sledge | what should i change it to | 03:12 |
| sledge | ive already tried that | 03:13 |
| sledge | several times | 03:13 |
| valorie | I always do `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` | 03:13 |
| TheShagg | i know this is probably a dumb request, but im trying to run nexuiz and my kubuntu is in a virtualbox, but it won't properly work with the mouse | 03:14 |
| TheShagg | otherwise everything looks like it should work | 03:14 |
| roney | TheShagg, running VirtualBox? | 03:14 |
| TheShagg | nexuiz inside kubuntu inside virtualbox | 03:14 |
| roney | If so, download its extra addons for better integration and mouse support. | 03:15 |
| TheShagg | it had the integration working right out of the box | 03:15 |
| roney | You sure? | 03:15 |
| roney | Did you download the addons? | 03:15 |
| TheShagg | well, the mouse is automatically captured | 03:16 |
| sledge | hm | 03:16 |
| sledge | TheShagg, do you have guest additions | 03:16 |
| roney | sledge, That's what I'm asking him. | 03:16 |
| TheShagg | i thought that was one of the major things guest additions does | 03:16 |
| roney | TheShagg, question is: do you have it or not? | 03:17 |
| TheShagg | im trying to find out | 03:17 |
| TheShagg | but nothing is easy with a new OS | 03:17 |
| TheShagg | like where the heck is the CD drive | 03:17 |
| TheShagg | bah | 03:17 |
| roney | TheShagg, you can check that from VirtualBox itself. | 03:18 |
| roney | Though I don't remember where exactly. | 03:18 |
| TheShagg | really? | 03:20 |
| TheShagg | wtf, why cant you run shell scripts from dolphin | 03:20 |
| roney | You can. But that's not the default behavior. | 03:21 |
| roney | Context Menu > Properties > Permissions | 03:22 |
| roney | Then mark it as executable. | 03:22 |
| TheShagg | it was executable | 03:23 |
| TheShagg | but when you right click, there is no execute anywhere | 03:23 |
| roney | Do as I said. Go to the permissions tab then mark it as executable. | 03:24 |
| roney | To run it you just have to click. | 03:24 |
| roney | Click on it after it has been marked. | 03:25 |
| TheShagg | fine, but the menu is still stupid | 03:25 |
| TheShagg | well i ran the autorun script for vbox additions | 03:26 |
| TheShagg | it seemed to run without error | 03:26 |
| roney | everything installed? | 03:27 |
| TheShagg | I have no idea how I would know that | 03:27 |
| TheShagg | lol | 03:27 |
| roney | Well. The installer is a graphical tool with a progress bar and such. | 03:28 |
| TheShagg | mine wasnt | 03:28 |
| roney | Then you're doing it wrong. :-) | 03:29 |
| TheShagg | well, mounting the iso did nothing | 03:29 |
| TheShagg | so i navigated to autorun.sh and ran it | 03:29 |
| TheShagg | and now dolphin appears to be popping up off screen | 03:30 |
| TheShagg | lol | 03:30 |
| TheShagg | apparently i have dual monitors setup | 03:32 |
| TheShagg | and its just now working well at all | 03:32 |
| roney | nice | 03:32 |
| TheShagg | yay and now its in a video mode that is hiding the controls for vbox | 03:32 |
| roney | change your resolution then | 03:33 |
| roney | the thing with guest additions is that it will find the right resolution for your screen | 03:33 |
| roney | just as an example | 03:33 |
| roney | however, if you're facing such a problem, then guest additions is not installed apparently | 03:34 |
| TheShagg | i guess i needed to hit ctrl+c | 03:34 |
| TheShagg | hitting ctrl+h forced a shutdown | 03:34 |
| TheShagg | wtf | 03:34 |
| roney | it used to be quite easy for me. | 03:34 |
| roney | but I won't install virtualbox just to tell you how to do that | 03:34 |
| roney | TheShagg, install virtualbox-guest-x11 | 03:36 |
| roney | may help you increase graphics performance | 03:36 |
| TheShagg | well i need to get a mouse pointer really | 03:36 |
| roney | What's your host OS? | 03:37 |
| TheShagg | win7 | 03:37 |
| roney | meh | 03:37 |
| TheShagg | i just dont have the mouse pointer in the game | 03:37 |
| TheShagg | i have it in kubuntu just fine | 03:37 |
| TheShagg | and its really annoying when you cant exit the game | 03:37 |
| TheShagg | is there a trick for that? | 03:37 |
| roney | Did you enable VirtualBox 3D acceleration? | 03:38 |
| TheShagg | yes | 03:38 |
| TheShagg | well i cant do anything until i get the game to close | 03:39 |
| TheShagg | ok i was able to tab through options | 03:39 |
| roney | as a last resource, you may try to install VirtualBox Extension Pack | 03:40 |
| roney | Available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 03:40 |
| * roney goes to sleep | 03:43 | |
| roney | bye you all! | 03:43 |
| TheShagg | bah, muon searching for gcc returns nothing | 03:44 |
| TheShagg | how stupid | 03:44 |
| valorie | TheShagg: the muon package manager gets it | 03:47 |
| TheShagg | what do you mean | 03:47 |
| TheShagg | im in muon, i search gcc, it finds 2 unrelated things | 03:47 |
| valorie | muon discover doesn't find it though | 03:47 |
| TheShagg | yes, that is what i said | 03:47 |
| valorie | probably because it isn't labeled as an application | 03:47 |
| valorie | I usually use the muon package manager | 03:48 |
| valorie | or just `apt-cache search` | 03:48 |
| valorie | which is quicker | 03:48 |
| valorie | !info gcc | 03:48 |
| ubottu | gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.122ubuntu3)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.8.1-2ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 5 kB, installed size 41 kB | 03:48 |
| valorie | hehe | 03:48 |

| nlsthzn | hi, kubuntu 14.04 and see that foreign characters are showing up us blocks (specifically in Clementine music player)... what am I missing? | 06:27 |

| valorie | including one of the kubuntu devels | 06:43 |
| valorie | you might write to the devel list and put a link to a screenshot | 06:44 |
| valorie | I don't think they know enough yet for you to file a bug | 06:44 |
| nlsthzn | ah ok... this is a recent development too... I installed last week and it was fine... installed this from latest daily yesterday and it is like this | 06:47 |
| valorie | yup, just showed up, but there are so few reports yet | 06:47 |

| pramiti | http://pastebin.com/iiBseHQm i am getting this error while installing kdelibs5-dev | 11:16 |
| pramiti | i read this is beacuse of conflict between kdelibs5-dev and pkg-kde-tools 0.14.2ubuntu5 | 11:16 |
| pramiti | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs5-dev_4%3a4.12.3-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04.4~ppa1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/preparetips', which is also in package pkg-kde-tools 0.14.2ubuntu5 | 11:16 |
| pramiti | i removed kdelibs5-dev package and tried to install again.. still same problem | 11:17 |
| pramiti | please help | 11:17 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: did you sudo apt-get update? | 11:23 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: do you have any ppas? | 11:24 |
| pramiti | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports yes i have ppas | 11:25 |
| pramiti | i used it to install kde pim | 11:25 |
| pramiti | yes i did sudp apt-get update.. | 11:27 |
| pramiti | shoukd i try sudo apt-get distro-update ? | 11:27 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: yes of course. which ubuntu version are you on? | 11:36 |
| pramiti | ubuntu 12.04 lts | 11:36 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: do dist-upgrade, see if the conflict is still present, if yes, tell me, or report directly on #kubuntu-devel | 11:37 |
| pramiti | upgrade or update ? | 11:37 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: how many versions are your installed packages back? | 11:37 |
| pramiti | which packages ? kdelibs5-dev ? | 11:38 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: in general, all ones ... | 11:38 |
| pramiti | n how to tell ? | 11:39 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: dist-upgrade and see what it wants to upgrade | 11:39 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: but I can't help you in a competent way here, because I do not maintain backports ppa and I do not use 12.04 | 11:40 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: before you screw your system, please ask Riddell, yofel, or shadeslayer, or someone on #kubuntu-devel | 11:40 |
| pramiti | http://pastebin.com/itnHftAq | 11:40 |
| pramiti | ohh so i shouldnt do dist-upgrade ? | 11:41 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: no really necessary | 11:41 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: those packages wont change anything | 11:42 |
| pramiti | ohh.. so are they online ? wen they come on irc | 11:42 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: please paste output of "sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev" | 11:42 |
| pnunn | ++++++ | 11:52 |
| pnunn | + | 11:52 |

| kdeuser56 | pramiti: try http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/fix-dpkg-error-trying-to-overwrite-x.html | 12:19 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: I do not take any responsibility for this, but you could try (on your own risk): sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs5-dev_4%3a4.12.3-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04.4~ppa1_i386.deb && sudo apt-get install -f | 12:21 |
| pramiti | kdeuser56: should i wait then ? | 12:23 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: it's your decision, but it does not look like you need to inform the mentioned people, because it is not a package conflict imho | 12:23 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: but the command I pasted will simply force to overwrite the file, that held the install of kdelibs-dev | 12:24 |
| pramiti | kdeuser56: ok then i m trying | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 12:25 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: I would go for it, if something unexpected happens, simply reinstall pkg-kde-tools 0.14.2ubuntu5 and force overwrite there too and you should have the initial version of the conflicting files | 12:25 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: alternatively you can simply make a backup of /usr/bin/preparetips, which is the conflicting file ... ( | 12:27 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: the conflicting file is nothing dramatic, just a perl script responsible for translations if I got that right | 12:28 |
| pramiti | how to check if kdelibs5-dev is installed | 12:30 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: did it exit sucessfully? | 12:31 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: simply type: sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev .... if it says already at newest version, nothing to do you have installed it ;-) | 12:32 |
| pramiti | yes :) | 12:32 |
| kdeuser56 | pramiti: alright, then everything should work now :-) | 12:32 |
| pramiti | ok thanks :) | 12:33 |
| gunar | hello | 12:45 |
| gunar | can i ask a question? | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj | hi gunar, yes ask away :) | 12:46 |
| gunar | i am new with kubuntu and it does not poweroff correct, can you help me? | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj | gunar, laptop or desktop? | 12:47 |
| gunar | i have to push my power button for like 5 seconds to poweroff notebook | 12:47 |
| gunar | notebook | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | gunar, have you updated and upgraded since installing kubuntu? | 12:49 |
| gunar | no | 12:50 |
| gunar | or i am not sure, i tried to update | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj | did you use the muon package manager? | 12:51 |
| gunar | no | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | terminal? | 12:51 |
| gunar | oh, no terminal | 12:51 |
| gunar | i am not familiar with it | 12:51 |
| gunar | i guess it was the muon packet manager | 12:52 |
| gunar | it is updating now | 12:54 |
| yofel | kdeuser56: the next time something like this comes up it would be nice if you or the reporter filed a bug on https://launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ - this time I'll take care of it without one | 12:59 |
| kdeuser56 | yofel: oh sorry, thought it was just a local conflict ... | 13:00 |
| kdeuser56 | yofel: will do it better next time | 13:01 |
| yofel | hard to tell sometimes, here it's apt not knowing that it has to upgrade pkg-kde-tools before kdelibs5-dev, which has to be set in the packaging. As the packages are from the PPA we can fix it | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | yofel evem | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, even after kwin upgrades, | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | I'm still having screen blanking issues if i try to use OpenGL and raster, thinking it could be the intel i915 graphics driver | 13:05 |
| kdeuser56 | yofel: btw, I have fixed the icon alignment in kmix: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115408/ | 13:05 |
| yofel | kdeuser56: sweet! thanks | 13:06 |
| kdeuser56 | yofel: oh wrong one :D https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/116974/ | 13:06 |
| yofel | BluesKaj: I'm really not a graphics expert, if you think it's the driver and not kde #ubuntu-x might be able to figure out what to file a bug againt | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | xrender and native work fine, but it's disappointing to have to forgo the few desktop effects that I use. | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, yes I will after doing some more research if <i don' | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | t come up with a fix | 13:08 |

| soee | ah :) | 14:52 |

| serranellus | hi, I have a simple question: Is Kubuntu slower then Xubuntu? | 19:11 |
| serranellus | I'm going to install one of them... | 19:12 |
| qdata | serranellus: that is a somewhat 'loaded' question - the slower/faster question depends..... | 19:14 |
| qdata | the main difference between the two is not the underlying operating system part of the distro, but rather which desktop | 19:15 |
| qdata | one is xfce and the other is kde | 19:15 |
| serranellus | I could imagine, however with 512 mb of ram which one would you choose? | 19:15 |
| serranellus | thx | 19:15 |
| qdata | there is your crux - for older slower hardware with small ram xfce might be a better choice | 19:16 |
| serranellus | ok, thanks a lot | 19:16 |
| qdata | I haven't used xfce in a very long time, and sporadically when I did was just to try it out | 19:17 |
| qdata | kde is a more full-fledged/ full blown desktop than xfce and I prefer KDE | 19:17 |
| lordievader | serranellus: I think KDE is a bit more resource hungry than XFCE. | 19:17 |
| qdata | +1 to that | 19:17 |
| serranellus | I did recently and the performances were great | 19:17 |
| qdata | if you run latest high performance hardware you will notice less of a difference in subjectively perceived "speed" | 19:19 |
| serranellus | but mysteriously Xubuntu did not playback any video file | 19:19 |
| qdata | for example my mom's old atom n450 based netbook runs better with lubuntu (LXDE desktop) | 19:20 |
| serranellus | where on the same device Ubuntu worked more slowly but flawlessly | 19:20 |
| serranellus | On mine Lubuntu doesn't work at all: black screen! | 19:20 |
| qdata | these are video-hardware related problems | 19:21 |
| qdata | the nvidia blob binary is much faster than the nouveau open source driver | 19:22 |
| qdata | same for fglrx vs radeonhd | 19:22 |
| serranellus | But it shows that the DE is not the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu | 19:22 |
| qdata | if you don't have 3d accelerated hardware plus one of these your desktop will be slow | 19:23 |
| serranellus | Let's try Kubuntu now! | 19:23 |
| lordievader | The core of all Ubuntu flavours should be the same. | 19:23 |
| qdata | the reason is the widget set toolkits that make the things like the corner of a window box, etc use the 3d accel in hardware - without that it falls back to software/CPU based rendering | 19:24 |
| serranellus | yes but belive me: on xubuntu I had no video playback support at all, even if on firefox I could watch anything in streaming | 19:24 |
| serranellus | On Ubuntu all video files were reproducted without problems | 19:25 |
| serranellus | Thank you, qdata, and "see" you again! | 19:26 |
| qdata | I don't have any direct experience currently with xfce, but it sounds like you're missing some the restricted codecs/libdvdcss and related stuff | 19:26 |
| qdata | you should be able to get video playback on xfce - not aware of any real reason why it shouldn't | 19:26 |
| serranellus | No, no! Xubuntu restricted extras and extras addons were installed | 19:27 |
| qdata | kde is happier with a gig or 2 of ram | 19:27 |
| qdata | 512MB is a tad tight | 19:27 |
| qdata | while you're poking around you might look at LXDE too | 19:28 |
| qdata | for comparison purposes | 19:28 |
| qdata | serranellus: at any rate best wishes and good luck in yout endeavors! :-) | 19:29 |
| serranellus | Ok, thanks again! bb | 19:30 |
| lordievader | Erm qdata: 22-20:20 < serranellus> On mine Lubuntu doesn't work at all: black screen! | 19:30 |
| lordievader | Although I suppose that could be fixable, but hey if Kubuntu works, why bother. | 19:30 |
| bprompt | if it ain't broken, don't fix it :P | 19:32 |
| qdata | lordievader: I think the black screen thing could be fixed, but if in try it out/test mode easier to look for something that "Just Works" | 19:34 |

| Roey | Hi. I'm trying to install the NVidia 334.21 drivers on my Kubuntu 14.04 system. It seems to install ok, though it does mention before it started compiling compilation. In KDE, I see that I can't get the OpenGL-based Desktop Effects working. | 21:45 |
| Roey | how can I diagnose this? | 21:45 |
| lordievader | Roey: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA"? | 21:47 |
| Roey | lordievader: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9714933 | 21:48 |
| Roey | 750 Ti | 21:48 |
| lordievader | Roey: It is using the nVidia driver though. | 21:50 |
| Roey | lordievader: correct. | 21:51 |
| Roey | lordievader: the specific problem is that I get errors when I try enabling the OpenGL-based Desktop Effects in System Settings. | 21:52 |
| lordievader | Does nvidiaxconfig complain about things? | 21:53 |
| Roey | no | 21:54 |
| Roey | nvidia-xconfig | 21:54 |
| Roey | it does not complain about anything | 21:54 |

| === valorie_ is now known as valorie | ||
| lordievader | Roey: Hmm, then I don't really know what the problem can be. :( | 21:55 |
| Roey | ah it's okay | 21:55 |
| Roey | in the end it'll get sorted out. | 21:55 |
| Roey | once 14.04 releases | 21:55 |
| Roey | which is when? april 22? | 21:55 |
| lordievader | The 17th: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule | 21:57 |
| Roey | oh wonderful! | 21:58 |
| Roey | almost in sight! | 21:58 |
| lordievader | \o/ | 22:00 |
| Roey | oh, | 22:07 |
| === owner_ is now known as Guest70293 | ||
| soee | Roey: but in 14.04 you will get 331 by default | 22:31 |
| soee | they work nice for me with nvidia-prime | 22:31 |
| snele | Roey: you can try with resetting kwin to its defaults | 22:33 |
| snele | rm ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc | 22:34 |
| snele | and then alt+f2 and type | 22:34 |
| snele | kwin --replace | 22:34 |
| snele | :) | 22:34 |
| === calin is now known as crucerucalin | ||
| Roey | soee: what's that? | 23:06 |
| Roey | soee: yes I see that 14.04 defaults to 331..... | 23:06 |
| Roey | soee: I hope a PPA package will pop up soon. | 23:06 |
| Roey | snele: what does that effectively do? | 23:06 |
| snele | Roey: It resets desktop effects (kwin) to its default settings | 23:07 |
| snele | Roey: maybe its not problem with your nvidia drivers. sometimes kwin get buggy and disables effects for now reason | 23:09 |
| Roey | ok | 23:10 |
| Roey | yeah and I noticed a bug in Pager too. | 23:10 |
| Roey | things still seem buggy in general | 23:10 |
| Roey | I am having BTRFS errors as well. | 23:10 |
| snele | Roey: Pager is configured by kwin too | 23:10 |
| Roey | alright | 23:11 |
| Roey | if I reset kwin's settings, will I have to re-configure it by hand afterwards? | 23:11 |
| snele | Roey: yea. in system settings>desktop effects | 23:11 |
| Roey | alright. | 23:11 |
| Roey | I'll do that then. | 23:11 |
| Roey | actually I'll just move it | 23:11 |
| snele | and reconfigure Pager | 23:12 |
| Roey | done | 23:12 |
| snele | do kwin --replace afterwards | 23:13 |
| snele | Roey: btw for me 14.04 is rock solid | 23:14 |
| snele | :) | 23:14 |
| DarthFrog | snele: How long have you been running Trusty? | 23:15 |
| Roey | ah | 23:15 |
| Roey | ok things seem to get better now. | 23:15 |
| Roey | definitely looks smoother | 23:15 |
| Roey | let's open systme settings... | 23:15 |
| snele | DarthFrog: since begining of february | 23:16 |
| DarthFrog | Sounds like a winner. :-) | 23:16 |
| Roey | ah ok! | 23:16 |
| Roey | wonderful | 23:16 |
| Roey | snele: you're right, this works! Thanks! | 23:16 |
| snele | Roey: yea that is my fix when kwin goes crazy :) | 23:17 |
| snele | glad I helped | 23:17 |
| Roey | that should be in the FAQ | 23:18 |
| Roey | and if it is then shame on me | 23:18 |
| Roey | thanks again :) | 23:18 |
| Roey | my system was in this lame state for the past two weeks | 23:18 |
| valorie | Roey: I've been running it for a few weeks as well | 23:21 |
| Roey | ahh | 23:21 |
| valorie | so far, so good | 23:21 |
| Roey | I have issues with BTRFS that's been patched already | 23:21 |
| Roey | I am unsure if that patch has been applied downstream | 23:21 |
| Roey | by the way, hello Valorie! | 23:21 |
| valorie | although virtuoso just crashed and I'm reporting a bug | 23:22 |
| valorie | hi Roey | 23:22 |
| valorie | and then apport crashed while trying to report the bug! | 23:24 |
| valorie | fun with beta | 23:24 |
| Roey | :) | 23:25 |
| Roey | snele: btw another bug: | 23:25 |
| Roey | when I type in the Lancelot edit field, | 23:26 |
| Roey | it's white-on-white. And I've seen it also in the search field in getting new window decorations dialog | 23:26 |
| Roey | there too. | 23:27 |
| Roey | AND | 23:27 |
| Roey | how do I get kicker?? | 23:27 |
| Roey | I can't seem to get it | 23:27 |
| Roey | er, kickoff | 23:27 |
| Roey | the default kde menu | 23:27 |
| snele | Roey: I don't use Lancelot | 23:28 |
| snele | you can find kickoff i widgets | 23:29 |
| snele | everything you see on panel are widgets btw | 23:29 |
| snele | homerun kicker is nice menu too | 23:30 |
| snele | you can find it in repositories | 23:30 |
| snele | plasma-widget-homerun-kicker is package name | 23:31 |
| snele | :) | 23:31 |
| snele | about white-on-white thing, that is probably problem with color scheme you are using | 23:34 |
| Roey | I just want kickoff. | 23:35 |
| Roey | right now I don't see it. | 23:35 |
| Roey | (When I look through the widget list) | 23:35 |
| === rysiek|pl is now known as Diabelko | ||
| snele | Roey: in search bar when i type "menu" it pops up | 23:59 |
