EtriaphRunning docky on my desktop and am encountering a strange behavior06:40
EtriaphWhen I first login the icons on the dock are the stock KDE icons; however, I use Compass.  If I switch my icon theme to something other than Compass and back again, docky updates properly, just not on first login06:41
valorieis this a gtk application?06:42
valorieif so I think there is a gtk-theming thing06:43
valoriebut I always use stock, so ....06:43
valoriemaybe somebody else knows, but IRC tonight is like a graveyard at midnight06:44
EtriaphOh, well I did find a setting under GTK for icon theme06:44
valoriedid that help?06:44
EtriaphIt defaults to Oxygen06:44
EtriaphBut I can't select my theme06:44
valoriethat's strange06:45
Shaan7anyone else unable to start a chat using KDE Telepathy IM on Kubuntu 14.04?06:45
EtriaphWell, Compass isn't present in the list06:46
EtriaphIt's Oxygen themes (2) and Hi-color06:46
valoriepassing strange06:46
EtriaphBut I think they are GTK specific themes06:46
EtriaphSo it adds a default Oxygen GTK-compatible Icon theme06:47
Etriaphk, gonna test this out06:50
EtriaphOK, that works :)06:51
EtriaphNow is the only way to change the lock-screen background still to hack in a new version of Elarun?06:51
EtriaphIt's the last thing I have to do tonight before I sleep to customize all of this :)06:51
valoriehmmm, that I don't know06:52
valorieI either use the stock or asquiaquarium06:52
EtriaphWell I can't find a way to configure it06:57
valorie!lock-screen06:58
valorieubottu doesn't know06:58
valorieI think lock screen is kwin, if that helps your googling06:59

lordievaderGood morning.07:22
rcw2mornin'07:22
lordievaderHey rcw2, how are you?07:23
rcw2alright, you?07:24
lordievaderDoing okay, still waking up for a bit.07:25
rcw2im trying to wake up my laptop's connection to the internet here07:28
lordievaderrcw2: Cable or wifi?07:28
Akishonahi guys!07:29
lordievadero/07:29
Gregor3000settign new software channels fetching is complete - stuck at 9% so much for the smooth upgrade...07:30
Akishonai upgraded my kubu box to 14lts. now every time when i start my computer  have to manually set up my network connection07:30
Akishonai have a couple of network connections. instead of going on the right connection the network manager is selecting another one07:31
Gregor3000at least you managed to finish the upgrade :-) what is the network card? wireless, wired?07:32
Gregor3000aha wi-fi?07:32
Akishonadid you run in similar problem?07:32
Gregor3000the "wrong one" might have stronger signal and is unlocked?07:32
Gregor3000no i am stuck on upgarde.07:32
SuperFireAlIs Kubuntu packed with the amazon spyware?07:34
valorieno07:34
valoriewe don't have unity at all07:35
SuperFireAlAnything else that would use random bandwidth ?07:35
Akishonaanother problem is that when i'm starting my laptop(cold boot) the keyboard is not working and i need to attach an usb keyboard to be able to restart or work. any idea why this happens ?07:35
valorieSuperFireAl: I can't imagine what07:35
Akishonathis is random07:35
valorieGregor3000: how long as it been "stuck"?07:36
Gregor3000oh i reset it. it was completely stuck. had to take the batery out07:37
valorieone of my laptops seemed to be stuck for quite awhile, but it finished right along with the other box07:37
valorieoh my07:37
Gregor3000yeah07:38
Gregor3000what is the upgrade command? sudo do-release-upgrade -c?07:38
valorie-d07:39
valoriealthough you don't need that now07:39
valoriethe d07:39
valoriesince it is released07:39
valorieGregor3000: please ensure that you have commented out all PPAs07:40
SuperFireAlAlright.  I might as well try the latest LTS from Mint Maya.  Mint wasn't running that fast even with XFCE07:40
valoriethis seems to be causing problems this time around07:40
rcw2ive run through this installation outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash but firefox loads a flash app fine, while chrome requests flash just like before, even after system restart07:40
rcw2this is just after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.0407:40
valoriercw2: that happened one day this last week for me in chromium, but th enext day updates fixed it07:41
valoriethe next, geez07:41
Gregor3000it seems to be working now07:41
valoriegreat, Gregor300007:41
=== krz is now known as Guest47931
rcw2valorie, hmm, im all up to date it seems07:44
Gregor3000recw2: isn't the flash plugin included in restricted extras package? or is this a different plugin? i have on 12.04 restricted extras and every time there is a flash update a script is run when you manually and separatelly install flash. so far it works on firefox and chromium.07:49
valorieyes, `kubuntu-restricted-extras`07:52
valorieyou can choose to install this when you do a new install, and if you upgrade, it should be as well07:52
SuperFireAl"install third party while installing" will give all the flash, and so forth to play MP3s, etc?08:18
valorieyes08:19
SuperFireAlsweetness.08:20
SuperFireAlI wonder how long before Mint releases an edition based on ubuntu ?08:21
SuperFireAlI guess not something can be answered here though08:21
valorieno idea, unless there are some mint peeps in the chan08:22
Gregor3000usually it's about 2 or 3 months after ubuntu. but mostly it is when it's ready. i remember there was a KDE release not long ago taht wasn't ready at all and was never released.08:23
SuperFireAlIs there some universal way of changing the font size?08:27
SuperFireAlinstead of every detail (Konsole, firefox, etc)08:27
SuperFireAloh I found out08:29
SuperFireAlyay vision08:29
Gregor3000yeah i usually just use the zoom. crtl+mouse wheel forward08:32
SuperFireAlWow it actually installed all the updates while installing08:34
SuperFireAlThat's a first08:34
valorieI always do that08:35
valoriesaves time08:35
SuperFireAlUsually when the version is old though there is still about 300 more MBs of stuff08:36
valoriewhich version are you installing?08:37
SuperFireAl14.0408:38
valorieah08:38
valoriewell, that just came out a few days ago08:38
valorieno .1 yet08:39
valoriethe devels haven't yet recovered from the release madness08:39
xieyiI updated kubuntu 14.04 the all sw seems response slowly. I noticed my hard drive is continuely being read or written. Is the slow response has something to do with it? Is it caused by akonadi_baloo_indexer?08:50
xieyiIs there anyway to stop the indexer?08:51
xieyiI know there was an option to disable the nepomuk indexer in the control panel08:52
xieyibut I cant find one for baloo08:53
valorieyes, it's baloo, and it will finish indexing soon08:53
valorieif you do alt+f2 and type baloo, you can get to the config08:53
valorieblacklist your home if you want08:54
valorieonce it's done it's not noticeable08:54
xieyiIt has been tortured my hard drive and me for whole day and has no sign of completing08:55
xieyithanks for your advice. I am trying.08:55
xieyi:-)08:55
valoriesome go directly to the config file and turn of indexing but I think that's extreme08:56
valorieif you have lots of mail though, it can be intense08:56
xieyiI hope there will be a configure tool in control panel soon. I actually dont know how to modify the config file. But I found a tool setting the directory being neglected by indexer08:59
valorieafaik the developer doesn't want users to notice it at all09:00
valoriebut I think he'll have to dial down the intensity if he wants that to be true09:00
valorieit is supposed to Just Work09:01
xieyiyeah right. it affect my work.09:01
xieyicant take it any more09:02
valorieOpen $HOME/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc and change the option 'Indexing-Enabled=true' to 'Indexing-Enabled=false'09:03
valorieI think it is .kde/share etc.09:04
xieyioh I found it. it is at $HOME/.kde/share/config09:06
xieyiI will shut it down09:06
lordievadervalorie: Yes on Ubuntu it is ~/.kde instead of ~/.kde409:07
xieyimine has already been set to false. weird09:07
xieyiso the intensive hard drive access must be caused by other underlying sw.09:08
lordievaderxieyi: Try iotop, show you what is causing the io.09:09
xieyiIs there other possible cause for it ?09:09
xieyiI am installing it. it is a very slow process09:13
xieyiit is baloo_file_cleaner09:17
xieyiany idea about this tool?09:18
andy123its is the file indexer that lordievader was talking about.09:19
andy123you can go to system settings > desktop search09:19
xieyiI have disable baloo from its config file. i dont know what else I can do.09:20
andy123and add your HOME folder to the excluded folders09:20
xieyiyeah I have add my home to the blacklist09:20
andy123then reboot09:20
xieyimaybe I should reboot once.09:20
andy123yes09:20
xieyiok thanks09:20
xieyiI am trying it09:20
andy123np09:20
andy123everybody seems to have problem with the baloo malware09:22
xieyiIt works. baloo stop bothering me any more. thank you guys!09:31

nesciusi cannot find it in the upgrade guide11:26
lordievadernescius: Do you mean the backports?11:26
nesciuslordievader: http://paste.kde.org/p5bctolkn11:27
BluesKajnescius, don't change the sources to upgrade, just run sudo do-release-upgrade, but make sure you update and upgrade 13.10 first11:28
nesciusi am11:29
nesciusboth 13.10 and fully updated11:29
lordievadernescius: What command brought you that output?11:29
nesciusI have issues with updating 4.11.5 to 4.12 i guess11:30
nesciuslordievader: do-release-upgrade.. (its actually grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log )11:30
lordievaderDid you have the backports enabled in Saucy?11:30
BluesKajnescius, then run dist-upgrade to get the latest kde release11:32

nesciusright, it wont11:41
nesciusas i said, there are no KDE packages in the repositories11:41
nesciusno new ones at least11:41

BluesKajnescius,^11:47
nesciustrying it again with bytemark as a mirror11:48
rcw2BluesKaj, any suggestions on my last question?11:50
ddTo all having sound issues since upgrade to 14.04: http://www.unixmen.com/2012003-howto-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu/ - SECTION 311:53
BluesKajrcw2, could you post a url where flash isn't working11:55
rcw2BluesKaj, grooveshark.com11:55
BluesKajrcw2, that's a music site, flash isn't playing any video there, try youtube to make sure11:58
lordievaderBluesKaj: Grooveshark uses a lot of flash IIRC.12:01
BluesKajdd, that's an ubuntu tutorial the graphics depicted don't fit kubuntu/kde.12:02
BluesKajmost websites do use flash. yes , but as avideo player i don't see any video on grooveshark. lordievader12:03
ddBluesKaj, I tried the two commands in section 3 yesterday, worked fine for me :-) But I don't know much about sound systems (ALSA, PulseAudio what the.... :-S)12:03
nesciusi think there is a repository issue.. it does not upgrade even from bytemark mirror, i removed all repositories and kept the ones from do-release-upgrade, but still no KDE packages12:03
lordievaderBluesKaj: Wasn't rcw2 problem a non working flash plugin?12:05
rcw2BluesKaj, youtube works, hm12:05
lordievaderHehe. How odd.12:05
BluesKajnescius, it does take a while to upgrade via the internet12:05
rcw2yeah12:05
lordievaderA selective flash plugin ;)12:06
BluesKajrcw2, does grooveshark play video and audio or ?12:06
BluesKajrcw2, FF dpesn't play video on grooveshark, perhaps your audio is buggy ?12:10
rcw2after cache cleared and no extensions, still: 'Adobe Flash Player is Required...' [Install Plug-in?], but i [x] out that prompt and I Grooveshark blocks itself with a popup.  I can't tell if it *could* do one or the other12:10
rcw2BluesKaj, FF is fine12:11
rcw2just chromium12:11
lordievaderrcw2: FWIW, grooveshark has a html5 page.12:11
BluesKajodd, chromium is fine here12:12
rcw2lordievader, yeah i was just reminded of that.  i might switch even after getting flash working12:12
rcw2might be faster12:12
rcw2BluesKaj, yeah, and someone else said chromium had this or a similar issue, but it was resolved later after updating the OS, but mine is up to date and still has this issue12:13
rcw2same OS i think they said12:14
BluesKajrcw2, have you updated and upgraded or was chromium installed from a ppa wheile you were on 13.10?12:16
rcw2BluesKaj, fully updated 13.10, then upgraded to 14.04, and now fully updated in 14.0412:17
rcw2chromium was in 13.0112:17
rcw213.10*12:17
rcw2installed from a ppa?12:17
BluesKajand what about chromium , how was installed originally?12:17
rcw2BluesKaj, hm, can i determine that from some history ?12:18
rcw2been a while12:19
BluesKajrcw2, i think flash is working where it's supposed to work ...as far as I can see grooveshark is an audio channel not a video channel12:21

VanKushhello everyone12:33
VanKushplease can anyone give a hint to me why i cannot successfully go through Kubuntu 1404 usb install?12:34
andy123describe the problem12:35
andy123does the installer hang?12:35
VanKushchecked the disk, chcecked the checksum of the image, placed it wih KDE usb creator, booted, and seem to get hang whatever I try to do - "try without insalling", configuring wifi in ubiquity, even preboot file sum chceck12:36
VanKushATM i connected ethernet and it failed to open the step where one sets up partitions12:37
VanKushbut it does fatally hang if i choose to try live instead of installing12:38
andy123so, you press "Next >" in the installer and it hangs?12:38
andy123before you can see the partitions?12:39
VanKushcursor changes to waiting and nothing happens12:39
VanKushi can click exit or edit wm settings if i wish, but the main window's content stops changing12:40
VanKushyes, before i see any controls to chose guided partitioning or set it up in any way12:41
VanKushhello BluesKaj12:42
andy123did you try installing without enabling "download updates"?12:42
BluesKajhi VanKush12:43
VanKushandy123: will try immediately. still it is strange to my that i cannot >try live, it always worked before12:43
andy123I'm afraid I dont know where your problem is.12:44
VanKushthe B2 and  some recent dailys behaved the same btw12:46
VanKushis here anyone who might have a hint for me?12:50
lordievaderVanKush: Does it hang before the disk setup step?12:50
VanKushit hangs in many situations, but it always hangs before that step too12:51
VanKushhaven' got farther yet12:52
nesciusi am back with my upgrade issue..12:53
nesciusi am not a great fan of apt system, it is very messy...12:53
VanKushit also hangs when i click >try live, too12:53
lordievaderVanKush: When it hangs can you go to a tty?12:54
nesciusone would thought that http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdepim/ should contain at least one entry from 2014.. or 201312:54
VanKushnegative12:54
lordievadernescius: Depends on how sync the mirror is.12:54

VanKushi've read some lines about encrypted swap, will remove it and come back12:57
lordievadernescius: Lookup libkdecore5 that should be updated.12:57
nesciuslordievader: yes, there are some updated12:58
nesciusi am getting very angry with kubuntu12:58
lordievader?12:59
VanKushlordievader: i ditched the encrypted swap partition and tried over... switching to tty hags, as does ubiquity on the same step13:05
lordievaderVanKush: You can go the Ubuntu Server -> Kubuntu route. Or if you trust your Linux skills, debootstrap Trusty.13:07
VanKushI'm running 13.04 on that book and i don't really trust myself debootstrapping13:09
VanKushsigh, never thought i would need to distrust kubuntu again13:10
VanKushit's been my productive OS since 200713:11
lordievaderVanKush: That's why I also gave the Ubu server route. That is quite easy.13:11
VanKushwhere do i get the images13:12
VanKush...? please :)13:12

VanKushand then what, install kubuntu desktop?13:13
=== emanuele is now known as betaFPUIKnowYou
lordievaderVanKush: Yes, install Ubuntu Server. And after the reboot install the package kubuntu-desktop.13:15
VanKushi hope this ain't gonn hurt, i would like to preserve the win7 partition i've been dualbooting13:19
BluesKajVanKush, not if you use a the manual partitioning option then you can choose the right partition for Kubuntu13:21
BluesKajin the kubuntu installer that is13:21
lordievaderVanKush: Keep paying attention and be sure to have a backup.13:22
itotoii have a problem with my kubuntu-desktop package, so i've removed it, and now i'm trying to reinstall it but i'm getting "Depends: kde-windows-manager kde-workspace but it is not going to be installed13:23

VanKushin the interim i tried ubuntu 1404 image, worked flawlessly :\13:39
VanKushgonna do the server stuff then13:39
VanKushplease btw, i cannot have LVM and dualboot to ntfs/win7 at the same time, can I?13:40
VanKushlordievader: please, If i go the server route, will i get xorg or myr then?13:41
lordievaderVanKush: You will have Xorg, and lvm + ntfs is possible, as long as the windows partitions are not on the lvm.13:50
=== soee_ is now known as soee
VanKushcan I set up LVM on a single logial partition while other partitions on the disc have been already created?13:52
VanKushi mean, from the installer directly13:52
BluesKajVanKush, mir isn't availble on kubuntu13:52
lordievaderVanKush: Hmm, I'm not sure if the Ubuntu Server text installer comes with the necessary tools to set up lvm.13:56
VanKushguys please14:05
VanKushimagine my SDA split into four primary partitions (sda1 some oem crap, sda2 windows, sda3 empty, sda4 some more windows oem crap)14:07
VanKushhow can I set up LVM on the sda3 primary partition so that i do not hurt other partitions, please?14:07
VanKushinside it i'm gonna need a root partition, a /boot, a swap and another encrypted root for other os14:08
lordievaderVanKush: Split sda3 in /boot and a phyisical volume.14:10
VanKush(it seems that i ran out of logical volumes 4 of which i can have, they are all on a single physical drive)14:13
VanKushout of primary volumes i mean14:13
VanKushlordievader:  /boot must not be inside lvm?14:14
lordievaderVanKush: It can be, but it is much easier to not put it in. Grub doesn't like lvm that much.14:15
VanKushi see that now.. how do I turn the remaining logical volume into a LVM container?14:16
lordievaderVanKush: What do you mean?14:17
VanKushi have one physical drive with 3 primary partitions i must not touch, and one primary partition where I would like to set up logical volume management and encryption for at least two OSes14:19
VanKushbefore I only used LVM+luks on whole disks so I do not know how to proceed14:19
lordievaderVanKush: Never set up a luks volume for a rootfs, not sure if you want to do that?14:20
captain_haddockI have 3 Kubuntu installs. What's the most bandwidth effective way to upgrade all three to 14.04?14:21
captain_haddockI have the latest ISO too, FYI14:21
captain_haddockI used to accomplish upgrades using the alternate CD which appears to have gone missing :/14:22
VanKushlordievader: i dont insist on luks this time, just wanted to encrypt the other root with dmcrypt... kubuntu root should remain unencrypted14:22
=== dan_ is now known as Guest72908
VanKushlordievader: what i don't know is how to use the only available primary partition to set up logical volume management for kubuntu and other/encrypted OS sharing their /boot partition14:24
VanKushi dont understand which partitions will be managed by LVM by looking at the installer :(14:25
lmieever since i've installed kubuntu 14.04, i've had a lot of freezes14:25
lordievaderVanKush: Don't think pvcreate cares whether the partition is primary or logical.14:26
lordievaderVanKush: I'd setup the lvm myself if I where you, I don't like how the installer does the setup.14:26
VanKushwhat does Kubuntu active do?14:58
rcw2how much time does kde developer in 14.04 take to learn15:08

rvdvwhen trying to install drupal 7.27 on a fresh kubuntu install i can not get past the page where the DB is being filled ... not site config page shows up16:06
rvdvin phpmyadmin it shows the DB is filled16:07
Shaan7rvdv: check /var/log/apache2/error.log for any php errors16:07
rvdvShaan7: this error log file shows no info releated to the drupal install16:08
Shaan7rvdv: hmm and what happens if you try to browse to the drupal site manually? http://localhost/drupal or whatever16:09
VanKushlordievader: thank you, it's up now16:11
rvdvShaan7: it shows a default drupal page with only showing "Page Not Found"  ... The requested page "/" could not be found. ... as there is no user setup being done I can not log in16:11
lordievader\o/16:12
VanKushkinda dislike the greeter though16:12
Shaan7rvdv: hmm, well without anything in error.log, I can't really think how to proceed :|16:12
rvdvsetting up a user through phpmyadmin is kind of a work around i guess ... but this is clearly not as how it should work16:13
lordievaderVanKush: What greeter? Lightdm?16:13
* VanKush misses kdm16:13
VanKushyes that one16:13
captain_haddock@rvdv Try #drupal16:14
rvdvcaptain_haddock: Not sure if it's a drupal problem as I can get it work in Debian and OpenSUSE ... Strangely I can not find any info on google either16:15
captain_haddockrvdv: They'll probably know best how to figure out what's going wrong16:17
rvdvOK16:17
captain_haddockBut yes, check the logs, both Drupal and httpd16:17
rvdvthanks16:17
captain_haddock:)16:17
VanKushlordievader: any clue how to get kubuntu greeter theme back?16:18
lordievaderVanKush: Don't think kdm will work.16:18
rcw2yay 14.04 now applies the icon instantly to the program after install, without restarting the os16:18
VanKushlordievader: yea i got that, i just wish for ldm to get the kubuntu flavour's skin/touch16:20

melodiecaptain_haddock ping me when you are ready to try?18:20
melodiecaptain_haddock if usb-devices sees your usb scanner then maybe we can make it work, sometimes it's just a driver which is not loaded, and has to be loaded manually and added to the modules file under /etc18:35

captain_haddockQuintasan: I'll try, sure18:53
melodiecaptain_haddock I look18:55
captain_haddockQuintasan: But I do remember other quirks. The shutdown/logout buttons sometimes stopped working. Google informed me that this was due to issues with the notification system not being able to play ogg files during the alerts.18:55

melodiecaptain_haddock Driver=(none) || not good18:55
melodiewhat brand and model is it?18:55
Quintasancaptain_haddock: The problem is that it does no suspend on battery when the lid is closed by default18:55

QuintasanAnd then when I set it up in power management maually it does suspend18:56
QuintasanBut it doesn't work correctly18:56
melodiecaptain_haddock do you know if it needs a firmware?18:56
captain_haddockmelodie: I don't. Sorry18:56
captain_haddockQuintasan: Does it do so in other OSes/versions?18:57
Quintasancaptain_haddock: It works in Windows and I'm ALMOST sure it did work in 12.04 out of box18:58
captain_haddockI have had to bang the lid close in some laptops to get the action detected.18:58
Quintasancaptain_haddock: The keyword here is ALMOST :P18:58
captain_haddockQuintasan: :)18:58
captain_haddockQuintasan: Perhaps you can create a new user account to test this. It might mimic "out of the box" to some extent.18:59
captain_haddockmelodie: I have the windows drivers. I've looked on xsane to no avail18:59
melodiecaptain_haddock do you have a driver for Windows for this usb scanner, that you could install with WINE and perhaps from there install the INF file with ndiswrapper?19:00
Quintasancaptain_haddock: I somehow forced it to suspend via Power Management but it does not change the fact that it does not work as expected19:00
QuintasanDamn it.19:00
captain_haddockmelodie: I do have a .exe file that supposedly has the drivers. Let me try installing it with WINE. I will need your assistance with the ndiswrapper as that's Greek to me (and I don't speak Greek :D)19:01
melodiecaptain_haddock  ndiswrapper needs some tools and there are docs in the Ubuntu forums for that, I'll try to find one for you19:02
captain_haddockmelodie: Thank you!19:03
captain_haddockLast release of xsane was in 2010 :(19:03
melodiecaptain_haddock well, lately I tried reinstalling a driver from windows for a pcmcia wifi card, but it failed sadly19:04
melodieso I gave up on that card19:04
Quintasancaptain_haddock: Hah, thanks, on a new user suspend works correctly but it does not work on my user accoun19:05
melodiecaptain_haddock your system is Trusty, right?19:05
