[06:16] !id [06:16] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [06:17] tapi itu room kok sepi yah [06:40] Running docky on my desktop and am encountering a strange behavior [06:41] When 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 login [06:42] is this a gtk application? [06:43] if so I think there is a gtk-theming thing [06:43] but I always use stock, so .... [06:44] maybe somebody else knows, but IRC tonight is like a graveyard at midnight [06:44] Oh, well I did find a setting under GTK for icon theme [06:44] did that help? [06:44] It defaults to Oxygen [06:44] But I can't select my theme [06:45] that's strange [06:45] anyone else unable to start a chat using KDE Telepathy IM on Kubuntu 14.04? [06:46] Well, Compass isn't present in the list [06:46] It's Oxygen themes (2) and Hi-color [06:46] passing strange [06:46] But I think they are GTK specific themes [06:47] So it adds a default Oxygen GTK-compatible Icon theme [06:50] k, gonna test this out [06:51] OK, that works :) [06:51] Now is the only way to change the lock-screen background still to hack in a new version of Elarun? [06:51] It's the last thing I have to do tonight before I sleep to customize all of this :) [06:52] hmmm, that I don't know [06:52] I either use the stock or asquiaquarium [06:57] Well I can't find a way to configure it [06:58] !lock-screen [06:58] ubottu doesn't know [06:59] I think lock screen is kwin, if that helps your googling [07:09] https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=110039#p293799 [07:09] Arcane, but it works rather well :) [07:19] looks like there are simple and complicated ways both === user__ is now known as rcw2 [07:22] Good morning. [07:22] mornin' [07:23] Hey rcw2, how are you? [07:24] alright, you? [07:25] Doing okay, still waking up for a bit. [07:28] im trying to wake up my laptop's connection to the internet here [07:28] rcw2: Cable or wifi? [07:29] hi guys! [07:29] o/ [07:30] settign new software channels fetching is complete - stuck at 9% so much for the smooth upgrade... [07:30] i upgraded my kubu box to 14lts. now every time when i start my computer have to manually set up my network connection [07:31] i have a couple of network connections. instead of going on the right connection the network manager is selecting another one [07:32] at least you managed to finish the upgrade :-) what is the network card? wireless, wired? [07:32] aha wi-fi? [07:32] did you run in similar problem? [07:32] the "wrong one" might have stronger signal and is unlocked? [07:32] no i am stuck on upgarde. [07:34] Is Kubuntu packed with the amazon spyware? [07:34] no [07:35] we don't have unity at all [07:35] Anything else that would use random bandwidth ? [07:35] another 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] SuperFireAl: I can't imagine what [07:35] this is random [07:36] Gregor3000: how long as it been "stuck"? [07:37] oh i reset it. it was completely stuck. had to take the batery out [07:37] one of my laptops seemed to be stuck for quite awhile, but it finished right along with the other box [07:37] oh my [07:38] yeah [07:38] what is the upgrade command? sudo do-release-upgrade -c? [07:39] -d [07:39] although you don't need that now [07:39] the d [07:39] since it is released [07:40] Gregor3000: please ensure that you have commented out all PPAs [07:40] Alright. I might as well try the latest LTS from Mint Maya. Mint wasn't running that fast even with XFCE [07:40] this seems to be causing problems this time around [07:40] ive 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 restart [07:40] this is just after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 [07:41] rcw2: that happened one day this last week for me in chromium, but th enext day updates fixed it [07:41] the next, geez [07:41] it seems to be working now [07:41] great, Gregor3000 === krz is now known as Guest47931 [07:44] valorie, hmm, im all up to date it seems [07:49] recw2: 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. [07:52] yes, `kubuntu-restricted-extras` [07:52] you can choose to install this when you do a new install, and if you upgrade, it should be as well [08:18] "install third party while installing" will give all the flash, and so forth to play MP3s, etc? [08:19] yes [08:20] sweetness. [08:21] I wonder how long before Mint releases an edition based on ubuntu ? [08:21] I guess not something can be answered here though [08:22] no idea, unless there are some mint peeps in the chan [08:23] usually 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. [08:27] Is there some universal way of changing the font size? [08:27] instead of every detail (Konsole, firefox, etc) [08:29] oh I found out [08:29] yay vision [08:32] yeah i usually just use the zoom. crtl+mouse wheel forward [08:34] Wow it actually installed all the updates while installing [08:34] That's a first [08:35] I always do that [08:35] saves time [08:36] Usually when the version is old though there is still about 300 more MBs of stuff [08:37] which version are you installing? [08:38] 14.04 [08:38] ah [08:38] well, that just came out a few days ago [08:39] no .1 yet [08:39] the devels haven't yet recovered from the release madness [08:50] I 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? [08:51] Is there anyway to stop the indexer? [08:52] I know there was an option to disable the nepomuk indexer in the control panel [08:53] but I cant find one for baloo [08:53] yes, it's baloo, and it will finish indexing soon [08:53] if you do alt+f2 and type baloo, you can get to the config [08:54] blacklist your home if you want [08:54] once it's done it's not noticeable [08:55] It has been tortured my hard drive and me for whole day and has no sign of completing [08:55] thanks for your advice. I am trying. [08:55] :-) [08:56] some go directly to the config file and turn of indexing but I think that's extreme [08:56] if you have lots of mail though, it can be intense [08:59] I 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 indexer [09:00] afaik the developer doesn't want users to notice it at all [09:00] but I think he'll have to dial down the intensity if he wants that to be true [09:01] it is supposed to Just Work [09:01] yeah right. it affect my work. [09:02] cant take it any more [09:03] Open $HOME/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc and change the option 'Indexing-Enabled=true' to 'Indexing-Enabled=false' [09:04] I think it is .kde/share etc. [09:06] oh I found it. it is at $HOME/.kde/share/config [09:06] I will shut it down [09:07] valorie: Yes on Ubuntu it is ~/.kde instead of ~/.kde4 [09:07] mine has already been set to false. weird [09:08] so the intensive hard drive access must be caused by other underlying sw. [09:09] xieyi: Try iotop, show you what is causing the io. [09:09] Is there other possible cause for it ? [09:13] I am installing it. it is a very slow process [09:17] it is baloo_file_cleaner [09:18] any idea about this tool? [09:19] its is the file indexer that lordievader was talking about. [09:19] you can go to system settings > desktop search [09:20] I have disable baloo from its config file. i dont know what else I can do. [09:20] and add your HOME folder to the excluded folders [09:20] yeah I have add my home to the blacklist [09:20] then reboot [09:20] maybe I should reboot once. [09:20] yes [09:20] ok thanks [09:20] I am trying it [09:20] np [09:22] everybody seems to have problem with the baloo malware [09:31] It works. baloo stop bothering me any more. thank you guys!

I keep using kde and have not experienced such problem before [09:34] just a min.. i'll lookup [09:36] the error is : call to lnusertemp failed [09:37] (temporary directories full?). check your installation [09:38] It is out of my knowledge [09:38] :-P [09:38] :( [09:38] hope some one else can give you some hints [09:38] Hello! [09:39] hi [09:39] kde_user: Are they? [09:39] yes [09:39] kde_user: Are the temporary directories full? [09:39] Ive just installed Kubuntu 14.04 ..its working nice.. However, I was looking for some kind of post installation tips?? [09:40] what kind? [09:40] bumblebee? [09:41] my java is not working inside chromium in trusty, any idea ? [09:41] Hey guys. Happy easter for starters. I'm trying to get spdif pass through to work. More into detail: I'd like to watch a movie with DTS, my sound card can't decode it, but my speaker system can. I'd like to use that to get 5.1 over optical. [09:41] lordievader: well, i don't know how to check exactly. [09:41] kde_user: Check "df -h" [09:41] can u help me out [09:41] kde_user: Is there anything at 100%? [09:42] no [09:44] kde_user: Hmm, nothing nearly full either? [09:45] yes.. max is 11% for /dev/sda8 [09:45] hello. I just upgraded to 14.04 from 13.10 and driver manager keeps showing up occasionally asking me to choose the driver to install(I have an nvidia card). I choose a driver and select okay but it doesn't seem to install anything. Could somone help out here? [09:48] okay so I guess the option I chose had all the files installed :) [09:49] kde_user: Meh, more than enough room. Don't know why it would be complaining about possible temp dirs being full. [09:51] lordievader: i'll try re-installing the os [09:51] thanks [09:51] bye [10:06] how to set up program to start on boot? e.g. - skype [10:08] Gregor3000: System-settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autorun [10:10] found it, thanks [10:13] ;) [10:17] Русскоговорящие есть?

To all having sound issues since upgrade to 14.04: http://www.unixmen.com/2012003-howto-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu/ - SECTION 3 [11:55] rcw2, could you post a url where flash isn't working [11:55] BluesKaj, grooveshark.com [11:58] rcw2, that's a music site, flash isn't playing any video there, try youtube to make sure [12:01] BluesKaj: Grooveshark uses a lot of flash IIRC. [12:02] dd, that's an ubuntu tutorial the graphics depicted don't fit kubuntu/kde. [12:03] most websites do use flash. yes , but as avideo player i don't see any video on grooveshark. lordievader [12:03]
BluesKaj, 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] i 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 packages [12:05] BluesKaj: Wasn't rcw2 problem a non working flash plugin? [12:05] BluesKaj, youtube works, hm [12:05] Hehe. How odd. [12:05] nescius, it does take a while to upgrade via the internet [12:05] yeah [12:06] A selective flash plugin ;) [12:06] rcw2, does grooveshark play video and audio or ? [12:10] rcw2, FF dpesn't play video on grooveshark, perhaps your audio is buggy ? [12:10] after 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 other [12:11] BluesKaj, FF is fine [12:11] just chromium [12:11] rcw2: FWIW, grooveshark has a html5 page. [12:12] odd, chromium is fine here [12:12] lordievader, yeah i was just reminded of that. i might switch even after getting flash working [12:12] might be faster [12:13] BluesKaj, 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 issue [12:14] same OS i think they said [12:16] rcw2, have you updated and upgraded or was chromium installed from a ppa wheile you were on 13.10? [12:17] BluesKaj, fully updated 13.10, then upgraded to 14.04, and now fully updated in 14.04 [12:17] chromium was in 13.01 [12:17] 13.10* [12:17] installed from a ppa? [12:17] and what about chromium , how was installed originally? [12:18] BluesKaj, hm, can i determine that from some history ? [12:19] been a while [12:21] rcw2, 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 channel [12:21] BBL [12:33] hello everyone [12:34] please can anyone give a hint to me why i cannot successfully go through Kubuntu 1404 usb install? [12:35] describe the problem [12:35] does the installer hang? [12:36] checked 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 chceck [12:37] ATM i connected ethernet and it failed to open the step where one sets up partitions [12:38] but it does fatally hang if i choose to try live instead of installing [12:38] so, you press "Next >" in the installer and it hangs? [12:39] before you can see the partitions? [12:39] cursor changes to waiting and nothing happens [12:40] i can click exit or edit wm settings if i wish, but the main window's content stops changing [12:41] yes, before i see any controls to chose guided partitioning or set it up in any way [12:42] hello BluesKaj [12:42] did you try installing without enabling "download updates"? [12:43] hi VanKush [12:43] andy123: will try immediately. still it is strange to my that i cannot >try live, it always worked before [12:44] I'm afraid I dont know where your problem is. [12:46] the B2 and some recent dailys behaved the same btw [12:50] is here anyone who might have a hint for me? [12:50] VanKush: Does it hang before the disk setup step? [12:51] it hangs in many situations, but it always hangs before that step too [12:52] haven' got farther yet [12:53] i am back with my upgrade issue.. [12:53] i am not a great fan of apt system, it is very messy... [12:53] it also hangs when i click >try live, too [12:54] VanKush: When it hangs can you go to a tty? [12:54] one would thought that http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdepim/ should contain at least one entry from 2014.. or 2013 [12:54] negative [12:54] nescius: Depends on how sync the mirror is. [12:55] VanKush: Hmm sounds like kernel panics or something. [12:55] same goes for the default http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdepim/ [12:55] lordievader: ^ [12:56] lordievader: 13.10 installer does work well as have all other versions since karmic [12:57] i've read some lines about encrypted swap, will remove it and come back [12:57] nescius: Lookup libkdecore5 that should be updated. [12:58] lordievader: yes, there are some updated [12:58] i am getting very angry with kubuntu [12:59] ? [13:05] lordievader: i ditched the encrypted swap partition and tried over... switching to tty hags, as does ubiquity on the same step [13:07] VanKush: You can go the Ubuntu Server -> Kubuntu route. Or if you trust your Linux skills, debootstrap Trusty. [13:09] I'm running 13.04 on that book and i don't really trust myself debootstrapping [13:10] sigh, never thought i would need to distrust kubuntu again [13:11] it's been my productive OS since 2007 [13:11] VanKush: That's why I also gave the Ubu server route. That is quite easy. [13:12] where do i get the images [13:12] ...? please :) [13:13] VanKush: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ [13:13] and then what, install kubuntu desktop? === emanuele is now known as betaFPUIKnowYou [13:15] VanKush: Yes, install Ubuntu Server. And after the reboot install the package kubuntu-desktop. [13:19] i hope this ain't gonn hurt, i would like to preserve the win7 partition i've been dualbooting [13:21] VanKush, not if you use a the manual partitioning option then you can choose the right partition for Kubuntu [13:21] in the kubuntu installer that is [13:22] VanKush: Keep paying attention and be sure to have a backup. [13:23] i 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 installed [13:24] itotoi, install kde-workspace [13:26] BluesKaj: oh i think it's working now, i had to remove libegl1-mesa [13:26] BB in 30 mins [13:26] well let's see i'll try === calin is now known as crucerucalin [13:39] in the interim i tried ubuntu 1404 image, worked flawlessly :\ [13:39] gonna do the server stuff then [13:40] please btw, i cannot have LVM and dualboot to ntfs/win7 at the same time, can I? [13:41] lordievader: please, If i go the server route, will i get xorg or myr then? [13:50] VanKush: You will have Xorg, and lvm + ntfs is possible, as long as the windows partitions are not on the lvm. === soee_ is now known as soee [13:52] can I set up LVM on a single logial partition while other partitions on the disc have been already created? [13:52] i mean, from the installer directly [13:52] VanKush, mir isn't availble on kubuntu [13:56] VanKush: Hmm, I'm not sure if the Ubuntu Server text installer comes with the necessary tools to set up lvm. [14:05] guys please [14:07] imagine my SDA split into four primary partitions (sda1 some oem crap, sda2 windows, sda3 empty, sda4 some more windows oem crap) [14:07] how can I set up LVM on the sda3 primary partition so that i do not hurt other partitions, please? [14:08] inside it i'm gonna need a root partition, a /boot, a swap and another encrypted root for other os [14:10] VanKush: Split sda3 in /boot and a phyisical volume. [14:13] (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] out of primary volumes i mean [14:14] lordievader: /boot must not be inside lvm? [14:15] VanKush: It can be, but it is much easier to not put it in. Grub doesn't like lvm that much. [14:16] i see that now.. how do I turn the remaining logical volume into a LVM container? [14:17] VanKush: What do you mean? [14:19] i 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 OSes [14:19] before I only used LVM+luks on whole disks so I do not know how to proceed [14:20] VanKush: Never set up a luks volume for a rootfs, not sure if you want to do that? [14:21] I have 3 Kubuntu installs. What's the most bandwidth effective way to upgrade all three to 14.04? [14:21] I have the latest ISO too, FYI [14:22] I used to accomplish upgrades using the alternate CD which appears to have gone missing :/ [14:22] lordievader: i dont insist on luks this time, just wanted to encrypt the other root with dmcrypt... kubuntu root should remain unencrypted === dan_ is now known as Guest72908 [14:24] lordievader: 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 partition [14:25] i dont understand which partitions will be managed by LVM by looking at the installer :( [14:25] ever since i've installed kubuntu 14.04, i've had a lot of freezes [14:26] VanKush: Don't think pvcreate cares whether the partition is primary or logical. [14:26] VanKush: I'd setup the lvm myself if I where you, I don't like how the installer does the setup. [14:58] what does Kubuntu active do? [15:08] how much time does kde developer in 14.04 take to learn [15:37] 4.13 is a mazing [16:06] when 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 up [16:07] in phpmyadmin it shows the DB is filled [16:07] rvdv: check /var/log/apache2/error.log for any php errors [16:08] Shaan7: this error log file shows no info releated to the drupal install [16:09] rvdv: hmm and what happens if you try to browse to the drupal site manually? http://localhost/drupal or whatever [16:11] lordievader: thank you, it's up now [16:11] Shaan7: 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 in [16:12] \o/ [16:12] kinda dislike the greeter though [16:12] rvdv: hmm, well without anything in error.log, I can't really think how to proceed :| [16:13] setting up a user through phpmyadmin is kind of a work around i guess ... but this is clearly not as how it should work [16:13] VanKush: What greeter? Lightdm? [16:13] * VanKush misses kdm [16:13] yes that one [16:14] @rvdv Try #drupal [16:15] captain_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 either [16:17] rvdv: They'll probably know best how to figure out what's going wrong [16:17] OK [16:17] But yes, check the logs, both Drupal and httpd [16:17] thanks [16:17] :) [16:18] lordievader: any clue how to get kubuntu greeter theme back? [16:18] VanKush: Don't think kdm will work. [16:18] yay 14.04 now applies the icon instantly to the program after install, without restarting the os [16:20] lordievader: yea i got that, i just wish for ldm to get the kubuntu flavour's skin/touch [16:20] for consistency sake :) [16:22] ah and there is a more pushing issue, how do I add/set default keyboard layout for the greeter? [16:35] clear [16:45] How to I access the boot options on the LIVE CD [16:51] MRT1 you hit spacebar when the splash appears [17:13] is there any way to download kubuntu 14.04 lts via torrent [17:15] m2k1981: strongly recommended using the Web for searching [17:15] Hi [17:15] m2k1981: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ has rsync and torrent options [17:15] rsync's a bit lighter since it's unidirectional (torrents tend to be bidirectional) [17:16] hello rocco [17:17] whats up [17:18] Hello [17:18] hey [17:19] Does anyone know how to find out what programs are running in the system tray? [17:19] I have some mysterious program running that tells me that "No backlight is detected on my system" [17:19] *were found on my system" [17:20] startup programs? [17:20] Good idea.. [17:20] xD [17:22] I'm not really finding anything [17:23] hmm [17:24] maybe htop.. [17:27] I'm not really finding anything unusual [17:28] lets see.. [17:28] maybe a bug RaymondTracer_ [17:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1900024 [17:29] I [17:29] I'm on a desktop, I was trying to find a way to change my screen brightness with software [17:29] kubuntu 14.04?? [17:30] Yep [17:30] check that link,, [17:30] RaymondTracer_, check power management in system tray settings [17:30] maybe helps you out [17:30] or system settings as well [17:32] hi [17:32] hi melodie [17:33] I am puzzled, because installing a language pack in Trusty, for a kdepim suite, triggers this: [17:33] http://pastebin.fr/33469 [17:33] hi rocco [17:33] I will try to de activate the "recommands" to see what it does [17:33] whats up [17:33] oh ,ok [17:34] Well I couldnt find anything in power management [17:34] APT::Install-Recommends "false"; [17:34] The link didnt help [17:34] I already have it. :-( [17:35] you cgeck power management RaymondTracer_? [17:35] check* [17:35] ok [17:35] Yeah [17:35] you are on desktop .... [17:35] This monitor doesnt actually have a controllable backlight [17:36] Yeah, i'm on a desktop [17:36] So any laptop related stuff wouldnt really work [17:37] http://askubuntu.com/questions/218953/can-i-control-brightness-on-second-monitor [17:37] RaymondTracer_, there'a an app called xbacklight availble in the repos, check the package manager/muon discover for it. [17:38] Nope, doesnt appear to be installed [17:38] I check Muon for backlight related applications but I couldnt find anything isntalled [17:38] rocco: What kind of screen is it? Usually the brightness of desktop screens cannot be controlled through sofware. [17:39] Yeah, I thought there would be a program that could "emulator" the controlling of brightness [17:39] emulate* [17:39] RaymondTracer_, is a crt? [17:40] RaymondTracer_: I thought that backlightcontrol was going through the kernel to an acpi driver. [17:40] I know I might've installed something but the uninstalation musnt of removed everything [17:40] rocco: No, its an LED monitor [17:40] LED lordievader [17:41] RaymondTracer , I have the power management battery icon in the system tray that has a brightness control popup [17:42] I'm not on a laptop though [17:42] I was trying brightness control programs but they all turned out to be for laptop backlights [17:42] I think one of them didnt fully uninstall [17:42] Hmm, it might be different for LED screens, but I don't think it will work. [17:42] I just want to try and find it [17:42] hehe, no kidding :) [17:42] It is [17:43] :p [17:52] Oh well, thanks for trying to help, i'll just deal with it being there [17:52] Its not really effecting anything, just taking up a space in my system tray === matt_ is now known as Guest78816 [17:54] I found out what its called [17:54] Its called "indicator-brightness" [17:55] I guess i'll have to find a way to get rid of that and it should be fine [18:02] Hey. Which DM is used in 14.04? Previously it was LightDM. What is being used now? [18:02] Welp, i'm off, thanks again for trying to help [18:08] shadeslayer: Riddell: is there a reason kubuntu's phonon (or phononexperimental) package doesn't build the phonon declarative plugins? [18:09] elnur: Lightdm is still used. [18:11] lordievader, I've found the new location of lightdm.conf. But thanks. :) [18:14] I have a Kubuntu install which does not appear to support an old USB scanner that I have. I've downloaded its old Windows drivers (which do not work on x64 windows systems either). Can I somehow get it working on Linux? [18:14] Strike that [18:15] I have 3 Kubuntu installs. What's the most bandwidth effective way to upgrade all three to 14.04? I have the latest ISO, FYI. [18:15] This ^^ [18:15] No alternate CDs any more I hear [18:18] captain_haddock [18:18] can you type is some commands when you plugin that scanner? such as "usb-devices" and put the output to a pastebin? [18:20] captain_haddock ping me when you are ready to try? [18:35] captain_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 /etc [18:40] how to make kubuntu when it boots not to open last opened applications, i hope it makes sense, thanks [18:43] alket: System settings, startup & shutdown, Session Management [18:44] captain_haddock: thanks [18:44] melodie: I'm ready :) Thanks [18:44] anyone here got a thinkpad? [18:45] melodie: It *is* detected in usb-devices! [18:47] melodie: http://paste.kde.org/pxht4uj3u [18:51] Quintasan: I have a Lenovo something in the other room which might qualify. [18:51] captain_haddock: Is it running 14.04? [18:52] Quintasan: Nope. It's running Windows atm. It was running 12.04 LTS until this morning. [18:52] Hrr [18:52] (trying to get scanner accessible) [18:52] captain_haddock: Did it suspend on lid closure? [18:52] Quintasan: yep [18:53] captain_haddock: Can you tell me if it work OUT OF BOX if you happen to install 14.04? [18:53] works* [18:53] Quintasan: I'll try, sure [18:55] captain_haddock I look [18:55] Quintasan: 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] That didn't really fix it for me... but it might help. [18:55] melodie: cheers [18:55] captain_haddock Driver=(none) || not good [18:55] what brand and model is it? [18:55] captain_haddock: The problem is that it does no suspend on battery when the lid is closed by default [18:56] melodie: Umax Astra 5600 (pretty old!) [18:56] And then when I set it up in power management maually it does suspend [18:56] But it doesn't work correctly [18:56] captain_haddock do you know if it needs a firmware? [18:56] melodie: I don't. Sorry [18:57] Quintasan: Does it do so in other OSes/versions? [18:58] captain_haddock: It works in Windows and I'm ALMOST sure it did work in 12.04 out of box [18:58] I have had to bang the lid close in some laptops to get the action detected. [18:58] captain_haddock: The keyword here is ALMOST :P [18:58] Quintasan: :) [18:59] Quintasan: Perhaps you can create a new user account to test this. It might mimic "out of the box" to some extent. [18:59] melodie: I have the windows drivers. I've looked on xsane to no avail [19:00] captain_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] captain_haddock: I somehow forced it to suspend via Power Management but it does not change the fact that it does not work as expected [19:00] Damn it. [19:01] melodie: 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) [19:02] captain_haddock ndiswrapper needs some tools and there are docs in the Ubuntu forums for that, I'll try to find one for you [19:03] melodie: Thank you! [19:03] Last release of xsane was in 2010 :( [19:04] captain_haddock well, lately I tried reinstalling a driver from windows for a pcmcia wifi card, but it failed sadly [19:04] so I gave up on that card [19:05] captain_haddock: Hah, thanks, on a new user suspend works correctly but it does not work on my user accoun [19:05] captain_haddock your system is Trusty, right? [19:05] I seriously wonder what's going wrong there. [19:11] Quintasan what groups are your user in? [19:11] type "id" in the terminal, as simple user [19:12] do you see "power" ? [19:12] does the group power exist in /etc/group ? [19:16] melodie: Yep, it is. Fresh install. [19:16] Quintasan: :) Perhaps you can compare configurations. [19:17] melodie: I'm also trying to install XP 32 in a VM simultaneously. XP64 (on another laptop) did not help with the drivers :( [19:32] i upgraded to 14.04 but now to connect to my wifi network without putting my password each time; it looks like kwallet isn't working anymore [19:32] captain_haddock I understand that this could be helpful, if you can get it to connect to the USB ports of the host [19:33] captain_haddock my concern this week is different, it is about Mail clients and Addressbooks [19:34] so here I talk about Kmail and Kaddressbook specifically, and also Kontacts of course (I am on the #kontact chan that valorie told me about yesterday, and where I got lots of help today) [19:37] melodie: Yep. I apparently need some extension pack or some such. [19:37] I was not a fan of Kmail when I tried it a few years ago. [19:38] oeizo: FWIW, you can turn off KWallet. [19:38] captain_haddock: if i turn it off, how will my wifi passwords be saved? [19:39] oeizo: It won't be saved securely. But it'll be saved in plain text. [19:39] it's ok :) just a wifi password [19:39] (i.e., it's a security risk) [19:39] oeizo: :) [19:42] captain_haddock: i disabled it, then went in the settings of the wifi network and put my password, but then if i close and open again, the password isn't here anymore [19:43] oeizo: Try to see what happens after you log out / reboot and log back in. [19:43] ok brb [19:44] oeizo I have been told today that the kwalletmanager can be opened without a password, then you can ask it to keep the passwords, but won't be prompted to enter your password in [19:44] if this can help [19:45] this is the kind of thing which I have been testing all week long, with Kdepim and with Evolution side by side, on several machines, and in virtualbox machines too [19:45] this is a very intensive testing :D [19:49] i disconnected and reconnected but the networkmanager widget still doesn't remember password [19:50] i saw someone message me right before i disconnected but didn't get the time to read sorry [19:56] ezoo [19:56] oeizo I have been told today that the kwalletmanager can be opened without a password, then you can ask it to keep the passwords, but won't be prompted to enter your password in [19:56] if this can help [19:56] ezoo is that what you were just asking? [19:57] melodie: not sure what is not working, but my problem is that networkmanager cannot remember the password of the wifi networks/vpns (i tried enabling or disabled kwalletmanager) [20:02] ezoo I have seen that before, I think you may have something not well configured in the networkmanager [20:03] I have to fire mine to check if I remember what it was [20:04] ezoo open your network manager > modify configuratin > tab wireless [20:05] check then in the wireless tab, if yyou have the Mac address of the peripheral showing, with the name of the interphase in parenthesis [20:05] you must also see the SSID in the filed, and the mode Infrastructure [20:05] then in the tab Security [20:06] you must check that you are indeed using the right type of security, and in the bottom left that it is available for all users. [20:06] ezoo to be sure of the type of security you may have to check with the interface of your box in front of you as well. [20:07] ezoo hope that helps you [20:08] melodie: this is what i have in wireless security http://wstaw.org/m/2014/04/20/plasma-desktopPb2937.png (this is where i enter my password) [20:16] ezoo this is where you must put your password [20:17] have you also checked the tab "General" ? [20:23] melodie: when i put it and reopen this window, the password isn't there anymore; in General i have tried to check the "for all users" checkbox, but then i cannot validate: http://i.imgur.com/jj4CtrS.png [20:26] ezoo what do you have in the button "Advanced" from this screenshot? [20:26] and what do you have in the tab "Wireless" ? [20:27] what would be the easiest way to do kde related packages upgrades separately, and non-kde related packages upgrades after ? [20:28] melodie: in advanced, i have an allowed user which is me, and another user which is in the "available" list, 'sambo' [20:28] melodie: in wireless, i have the ssid, and mode: infrastructure and other things [20:29] ezoo what if you do a "sudo ifconfig down eth0" when you connect in wifi mode? [20:34] melodie: you mean right now? eth0: Unknown host [20:50] How do I get twitter updates frm choqok and quassel channel msgs in desktop notifications in 14.04 kubuntu? Is there not an easy way to get pop-ups? [20:51] I am completely new to KDE [20:55] ezoo if you don't have eth0 it can be something else, eth1 or eth2 : do "sudo ifconfig -a " and look what you have [20:55] melodie: i do have eth0 when doing just ifconfig [20:56] (but no ethernet cable plugged in) [20:56] average_guy: probably an option in settings > notifications. Uses system tray for notifications [20:59] ezoo no matter the cable, sometimes you have better time putting the eth0 down [20:59] sudo ifconfig eth0 down [21:00] melodie: oh this worked, oh it was swapped [21:00] melodie: networkmanager still forgets about the password :( === EvergreenTree is now known as TreeDoge === TreeDoge is now known as EvergreenTree [21:09] ezoo is that Kubuntu 14.04 ? [21:09] melodie: yes i've just upgraded [21:10] from which version have you upgraded? [21:10] 13.10 [21:10] do you always use wifi or sometimes ethernet too with this machine? [21:11] sometimes ethernet [21:11] have you checked what I told you a moment ago, in the router? [21:11] in the user interface of the box, in your web browser? [21:11] i must have missed it [21:12] you should check the type of security which is configured in the box, if it is a mismatch with the configuration in your network manager that can be a source of issue [21:13] oh yes that, no yes it is indeed WPA personal [21:13] (i don't remember if i've said it, but i can connect normally) [21:15] ezoo please check [21:16] you can connect but you get prompted again and again and that could be the source (happened to me) [21:16] i've checked on the router page on my browser [21:16] ok [21:16] (unrelated, what happened kubuntu-low-fat-settings package) [21:17] melodie: this is what it says: http://i.imgur.com/g3QdmWN.png (maybe i missed something) [21:17] I don't know what means what you just said [21:17] (it's a package which disables a bunch of service, to make kubuntu faster) [21:17] ezoo lol!
