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

I installed last week and it was fine... installed this from latest daily yesterday and it is like this [06:47] yup, just showed up, but there are so few reports yet [06:47] they haven't pinned down a cause to start on a fix [07:07] mail sent === calin is now known as crucerucain === crucerucain is now known as crucerucalin === rahul is now known as Guest45324 [07:25] thank you, nlsthzn [07:26] np, hope it helps... as it helps me too :) === Guest45324 is now known as rahul__ === calcmandan_ is now known as calcmandan [08:32] a [08:32] sorry === claudiu is now known as Guest37388 === rahul__ is now known as RahulAN [09:23] Good morning.

[11:24] pramiti: do you have any ppas? [11:25] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports yes i have ppas [11:25] i used it to install kde pim [11:27] yes i did sudp apt-get update.. [11:27] shoukd i try sudo apt-get distro-update ? [11:36] pramiti: yes of course. which ubuntu version are you on? [11:36] ubuntu 12.04 lts [11:37] pramiti: do dist-upgrade, see if the conflict is still present, if yes, tell me, or report directly on #kubuntu-devel [11:37] upgrade or update ? [11:37] pramiti: how many versions are your installed packages back? [11:38] which packages ? kdelibs5-dev ? [11:38] pramiti: in general, all ones ... [11:39] n how to tell ? [11:39] pramiti: dist-upgrade and see what it wants to upgrade [11:40] 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] pramiti: before you screw your system, please ask Riddell, yofel, or shadeslayer, or someone on #kubuntu-devel [11:40] http://pastebin.com/itnHftAq [11:41] ohh so i shouldnt do dist-upgrade ? [11:41] pramiti: no really necessary [11:42] pramiti: those packages wont change anything [11:42] ohh.. so are they online ? wen they come on irc [11:42] pramiti: please paste output of "sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev" [11:52] ++++++ [11:52] + [12:06] kdeuser56: http://pastebin.com/AjTY6JED [12:19] pramiti: try http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/fix-dpkg-error-trying-to-overwrite-x.html [12:21] 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 [12:23] kdeuser56: should i wait then ? [12:23] 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 [12:24] pramiti: but the command I pasted will simply force to overwrite the file, that held the install of kdelibs-dev [12:25] kdeuser56: ok then i m trying [12:25] 'Morning folks [12:25] 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 [12:27] pramiti: alternatively you can simply make a backup of /usr/bin/preparetips, which is the conflicting file ... ( [12:28] pramiti: the conflicting file is nothing dramatic, just a perl script responsible for translations if I got that right [12:30] how to check if kdelibs5-dev is installed [12:31] pramiti: did it exit sucessfully? [12:32] 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] yes :) [12:32] pramiti: alright, then everything should work now :-) [12:33] ok thanks :) [12:45] hello [12:46] can i ask a question? [12:46] hi gunar, yes ask away :) [12:46] i am new with kubuntu and it does not poweroff correct, can you help me? [12:47] gunar, laptop or desktop? [12:47] i have to push my power button for like 5 seconds to poweroff notebook [12:47] notebook [12:49] gunar, have you updated and upgraded since installing kubuntu? [12:50] no [12:50] or i am not sure, i tried to update [12:51] did you use the muon package manager? [12:51] no [12:51] terminal? [12:51] oh, no terminal [12:51] i am not familiar with it [12:52] i guess it was the muon packet manager [12:54] it is updating now [12:59] 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 [13:00] yofel: oh sorry, thought it was just a local conflict ... [13:01] yofel: will do it better next time [13:03] 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] yofel evem [13:03] oops [13:03] yofel, even after kwin upgrades, [13:05] 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] yofel: btw, I have fixed the icon alignment in kmix: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115408/ [13:06] kdeuser56: sweet! thanks [13:06] yofel: oh wrong one :D https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/116974/ [13:07] 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] xrender and native work fine, but it's disappointing to have to forgo the few desktop effects that I use.

I'm looking for somthing that can scan & print, as well as save a scan as PDF [16:42] I'm having problems running certain programs on Kubuntu 4.8.5 mostly Dolphin and Gwenview. [16:42] They take around ~30secs to start up, and after the 30secs no window shows up. They also disappear from the taskbar after the 30secs, but they are still running when I check System Activity. [16:43] The problem began probably 30 minutes ago. [16:46] Also Kontact and KOrganizer are having the same issue as Dolphin and Gwenview. === gilbert_ is now known as goodtime [18:07] BluesKaj: did "uxa" fixed your problems?

[19:12] I'm going to install one of them... [19:14] serranellus: that is a somewhat 'loaded' question - the slower/faster question depends..... [19:15] the main difference between the two is not the underlying operating system part of the distro, but rather which desktop [19:15] one is xfce and the other is kde [19:15] I could imagine, however with 512 mb of ram which one would you choose? [19:15] thx [19:16] there is your crux - for older slower hardware with small ram xfce might be a better choice [19:16] ok, thanks a lot [19:17] I haven't used xfce in a very long time, and sporadically when I did was just to try it out [19:17] kde is a more full-fledged/ full blown desktop than xfce and I prefer KDE [19:17] serranellus: I think KDE is a bit more resource hungry than XFCE. [19:17] +1 to that [19:17] I did recently and the performances were great [19:19] if you run latest high performance hardware you will notice less of a difference in subjectively perceived "speed" [19:19] but mysteriously Xubuntu did not playback any video file [19:20] for example my mom's old atom n450 based netbook runs better with lubuntu (LXDE desktop) [19:20] where on the same device Ubuntu worked more slowly but flawlessly [19:20] On mine Lubuntu doesn't work at all: black screen! [19:21] these are video-hardware related problems [19:22] the nvidia blob binary is much faster than the nouveau open source driver [19:22] same for fglrx vs radeonhd [19:22] But it shows that the DE is not the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu [19:23] if you don't have 3d accelerated hardware plus one of these your desktop will be slow [19:23] Let's try Kubuntu now! [19:23] The core of all Ubuntu flavours should be the same. [19:24] 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] yes but belive me: on xubuntu I had no video playback support at all, even if on firefox I could watch anything in streaming [19:25] On Ubuntu all video files were reproducted without problems [19:26] Thank you, qdata, and "see" you again! [19:26] 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] you should be able to get video playback on xfce - not aware of any real reason why it shouldn't [19:27] No, no! Xubuntu restricted extras and extras addons were installed [19:27] kde is happier with a gig or 2 of ram [19:27] 512MB is a tad tight [19:28] while you're poking around you might look at LXDE too [19:28] for comparison purposes [19:29] serranellus: at any rate best wishes and good luck in yout endeavors! :-) [19:30] Ok, thanks again! bb [19:30] Erm qdata: 22-20:20 < serranellus> On mine Lubuntu doesn't work at all: black screen! [19:30] Although I suppose that could be fixable, but hey if Kubuntu works, why bother. [19:32] if it ain't broken, don't fix it :P [19:34] 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" === giovanni is now known as Guest6598 === administrador is now known as Fhonor === Fhonor is now known as register === register is now known as Guest12810 [19:52] hi === dmitry is now known as Guest86384 === roby is now known as Guest16031 === Guest16031 is now known as roby__ === venom is now known as StoogeMcGroove [21:37] Hai [21:37] man this is dead [21:45] 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] how can I diagnose this? [21:47] Roey: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA"? [21:48] lordievader: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9714933 [21:48] 750 Ti [21:50] Roey: It is using the nVidia driver though. [21:51] lordievader: correct. [21:52] lordievader: the specific problem is that I get errors when I try enabling the OpenGL-based Desktop Effects in System Settings. [21:53] Does nvidiaxconfig complain about things? [21:54] no [21:54] nvidia-xconfig [21:54] it does not complain about anything === valorie is now known as valorie_ === valorie_ is now known as valorie [21:55] Roey: Hmm, then I don't really know what the problem can be. :( [21:55] ah it's okay [21:55] in the end it'll get sorted out. [21:55] once 14.04 releases [21:55] which is when? april 22? [21:57] The 17th: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule [21:58] oh wonderful! [21:58] almost in sight! [22:00] \o/ [22:07] oh, === owner_ is now known as Guest70293 [22:31] Roey: but in 14.04 you will get 331 by default [22:31] they work nice for me with nvidia-prime [22:33] Roey: you can try with resetting kwin to its defaults [22:34] rm ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc [22:34] and then alt+f2 and type [22:34] kwin --replace [22:34] :) === calin is now known as crucerucalin [23:06] soee: what's that? [23:06] soee: yes I see that 14.04 defaults to 331..... [23:06] soee: I hope a PPA package will pop up soon. [23:06] snele: what does that effectively do? [23:07] Roey: It resets desktop effects (kwin) to its default settings [23:09] Roey: maybe its not problem with your nvidia drivers. sometimes kwin get buggy and disables effects for now reason [23:10] ok [23:10] yeah and I noticed a bug in Pager too. [23:10] things still seem buggy in general [23:10] I am having BTRFS errors as well. [23:10] Roey: Pager is configured by kwin too [23:11] alright [23:11] if I reset kwin's settings, will I have to re-configure it by hand afterwards? [23:11] Roey: yea. in system settings>desktop effects [23:11] alright. [23:11] I'll do that then. [23:11] actually I'll just move it [23:12] and reconfigure Pager [23:12] done [23:13] do kwin --replace afterwards [23:14] Roey: btw for me 14.04 is rock solid [23:14] :) [23:15] snele: How long have you been running Trusty? [23:15] ah [23:15] ok things seem to get better now. [23:15] definitely looks smoother [23:15] let's open systme settings... [23:16] DarthFrog: since begining of february [23:16] Sounds like a winner. :-) [23:16] ah ok! [23:16] wonderful [23:16] snele: you're right, this works! Thanks! [23:17] Roey: yea that is my fix when kwin goes crazy :) [23:17] glad I helped [23:18] that should be in the FAQ [23:18] and if it is then shame on me [23:18] thanks again :) [23:18] my system was in this lame state for the past two weeks [23:21] Roey: I've been running it for a few weeks as well [23:21] ahh [23:21] so far, so good [23:21] I have issues with BTRFS that's been patched already [23:21] I am unsure if that patch has been applied downstream [23:21] by the way, hello Valorie! [23:22] although virtuoso just crashed and I'm reporting a bug [23:22] hi Roey [23:24] and then apport crashed while trying to report the bug! [23:24] fun with beta [23:25] :) [23:25] snele: btw another bug: [23:26] when I type in the Lancelot edit field, [23:26] it's white-on-white. And I've seen it also in the search field in getting new window decorations dialog [23:27] there too. [23:27] AND [23:27] how do I get kicker?? [23:27] I can't seem to get it [23:27] er, kickoff [23:27] the default kde menu [23:28] Roey: I don't use Lancelot [23:29] you can find kickoff i widgets [23:29] everything you see on panel are widgets btw [23:30] homerun kicker is nice menu too [23:30] you can find it in repositories [23:31] plasma-widget-homerun-kicker is package name [23:31] :) [23:34] about white-on-white thing, that is probably problem with color scheme you are using [23:35] I just want kickoff.
