Linusnewbhi anyone here who can help?00:25
LinusnewbI have upgraded to kubuntu 14.04 but I have some errors00:27
roneywhat problems are you having?00:35
nesciusgood morning, afternoon, night..00:42
nesciuscan you help me with repository issue? i want to know whether there are kontact related packages in 14.04 web repositories00:43
nesciusi am struggling with this issue since friday as i am trying to update via web00:43
=== sgubanoff is now known as G_ray
nesciushttp://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kate/?C=M;O=A00:48
nesciuswhy is there a newer kate package for 13.10 than for 14.04 ?00:48
valorienescius: please file a bug on launchpad; if there is an newer version indeed something was overlooked in the release01:16
valorieI think you can use `ubuntu-bug kate`01:16
nesciusvalorie: thats cool! doing it right now01:44
nesciusbtw do you run 14.04?01:44
valorienescius: I've been running it since beta101:55
valoriesmooth as silk01:55
valoriethat ubuntu-bug command really helps when you are testing01:55
nesciusthanks, its really helpful, however in meantime i found a newer version of kate in universe02:00
nesciuswhich does not work while trying to update to the 14.04.. for some reason02:00
valoriedef. a packaging bug then02:01
valorieI assume someone overlooked the version number02:01
valorieor uploaded a wrongly-versioned file02:02
valorieStuff Happens [tm]02:02
Ekush3yWhy Konversation was replaced by Quassel as the default IRC client?03:49
valorieEkush3y: that happened years ago when Konvi wasn't ready for the release03:50
valorieand we never changed back03:50
valorieI prefer and use konvi, but understand that stability is important too03:51
valorieI wish we had never felt it necessary to change, because I <3 Konvi03:52
Ekush3yhi Valorie04:02
Ekush3yI haven't tried a fresh installation of Kubuntu in a long time, i've been upgrading in the last few years after every release.04:04
valoriesame here04:04
Ekush3yYesterday I used the 14.04 live CD to install at a friend's computer and realized there is no Konversation. How is life without Konversation? I've always used it and nothing compares to it. :)04:05
valorieit is easily installable04:06
valoriejust not provided on the ISO04:06
Ekush3ySo is this Quassel a part of the KDE suit? Or does it come with Ubuntu only?04:06
valorieit is a Qt application04:07
valorieI don't know if other KDE distros provide it by default04:07
Ekush3yWow04:07
Ekush3yThat's surprising04:07
valoriewhat's surprising?04:07
Ekush3yNevermind, I've to run now... thanks for your time valorie04:09
Ekush3yBye...04:09

nesciusdo you know how to get details from apt? i am trying to get kate to install, it takes all its dependencies and then rejects to install as there is some conflict, but WHAT?04:39
nesciushttp://paste.kde.org/p9kvz9pqu04:40
valorienescius: did you try `sudo apt-get install -f`?04:42
valoriealso, do you have any PPAs or pins that could be causing this?04:42
nesciusvalorie: i had, at some time, i am now trying to remove EVERYTHING04:43
nesciusall ppa repos are gone now04:43
nesciusi tried the -f with no difference04:43
nesciushttp://paste.kde.org/pmdx0jjwq04:44
valoriejust -f, no kate04:44
valoriethat makes it try to fix all dependencies04:45
nesciusnothing changed04:45
valorie:(04:45
valoriethis is in 14.04, correct?04:45
nesciusthis is saucy now04:45
nesciusi have same issues with the 'trusty'04:46
captain_haddocknescius: Try aptitude instead of apt04:46
nesciusi have saucy repos, no kde packages installed..04:46
captain_haddocknescius: Try aptitude instead of apt-get*04:46
nesciuscaptain_haddock: i tried aptitude, apt, synaptic, muon (when it was installed)04:46
nesciussynaptic has some results - it sets every depencencies for kate and then selects kate itself for removal..04:47
valorievery peculiar04:48
captain_haddocknescius: What does "no kde packages installed" mean?04:48
valorieI"m sure nobody messed with saucy packages04:48
nesciuscaptain_haddock: i removed them as packages, i only have what is opened in my current session :(04:49
nesciusvalorie: i am sure i messed my apt db somehow04:49
valoriewhich install -f should fix, nescius04:51
valorieif you use it exactly as i typed it above04:51
valorienothing else04:51
valorieoh, after doing an apt-get update04:51
valorieand probably dist-upgrade as well04:52
=== kubuntu is now known as nodice
nesciushere are the results  -http://paste.kde.org/p9zh24hn304:54
nodicekubuntu doesn't work for me - same problem as before04:54
captain_haddocknescius: perhaps you should try installing KDE properly first? (or kubuntu-desktop)04:54
nodice13.10 and 14.04 and no change!!!!!!!!!!!04:54
nodicenescius: don't do it!04:55
captain_haddocknodice: What is the same problem as before?04:55
nodicemy smartphone won't connect04:55
nodiceI can connect with ubuntu and gnome04:56
nodiceso, it is a kde-based issue??04:56
nesciuscaptain_haddock: i tried what you suggested: http://paste.kde.org/pgjdi1swt04:56
nodicewhy would you install kde?04:57
captain_haddocknodice: smartphone?04:57
nodiceyes, my htc one x04:57
valoriedamn, something is seriously broken in your system, nescius04:57
valoriethis is a plain saucy install, up to date, no pinning, no PPAs?04:58
nesciusvalorie: i know, i have the same for too long.. upgraded from the last LTS04:58
captain_haddocknescius: try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ark audiocd-kio (etc.); list all dependencies04:59
nodiceso with all the smartphones out there, the kde devs didn't address the problems at all04:59
nesciusnothing is pinned, there were some kde ppas before the 4.11.504:59
valorieso you went 12.04 > 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 ?04:59
captain_haddocknodice: stop whining and explain your problem properly.04:59
nodiceit won't open anything - aka won't mount05:00
nodiceavailable devices shows 3 logos lol05:00
captain_haddockThat is not explaining your problem properly.05:00
captain_haddocklolol05:00
valorienodice, did you file a bug about this before?05:00
nodiceyes, long ago05:00
nodiceI got rid of kubuntu since it was never fixed05:00
valorieany comments or feedback on your bug report?05:01
nesciusthanks for your help, this does not work, i am going to drop apt and try pacman instead, maybe it will output something tangable and usefull05:01
valoriemy phone connects just fine05:01
valorienescius: not for kubuntu!05:01
valoriethat's ... arch I think05:02
nodiceI am showing obvious bugs unless you think the logo of a smartphone should be displayed THREE times?!?05:02
valorienodice, screenshot?05:02
nesciusi think that it should be multiplatform, isnt it?05:02
valorieno, it is not05:02
nesciuslike smart or whatever the suse guys are using05:02
valoriepacman will not work in kubuntu or any debian dirivetive05:03
valorieoh geez05:03
valoriederivative05:03
nesciusit does, but it is literally pacman the game05:03

nodiceplease send a full bug report blah, blah05:04
nodicewhat for?05:04
valorieright, without one, problems can't be fixed05:04
nodicethe bug is ongoine - I said I filed one beforeeeeeeee05:04
valoriesure, but I don't have a bug number to check05:05
nodiceit's detected as a camera05:05
nodiceubuntu with gnome detects it at least05:05
valoriecool05:05
valorieso you know you don't have a bad cable or something05:06
nodicemy conclusion: kde sucks05:06

valorieah, we have the same phone05:06
nodiceHTC twice? lol05:07
valorieAvailable devices: Portable Media Player (Android Phone)05:08
nodice'Open with File Manager' is shown twice too05:08
valoriein Dolphin: Android Phone05:08
valorieah, camera is seen separately, yes05:08
nodiceI guess kde detects it as 3 phones connected?  lol05:08
nodiceor cameras05:09
valorieit is listed under both Media and Devices05:09
nodiceI was told kde is really good now... nah05:09
valoriewhich is proper, I think05:09
valoriedepending on what you want to access05:09
valorieso you can get your photos off without drilling down05:10
valorieI find that convenient05:10
valorieymmv05:10
nodicewhatever05:10
valoriethanks for pointing that out; I hadn't noticed before05:11
nodiceit's under 'Portable Media Player' and shows 3 icons05:11
nodicebeside one is Android Phone05:11
valorieand getting to Dolphin from the Camera does indeed go directly to the camera05:11

valorieso you can go directly to your music files too05:12
valorieexcellent05:12

nodiceppl are asking how to connect this phone in the forum lol05:20
nodicegood luck05:20
nodiceprobably have to use some workaround... easier to use another distro05:20
valorieI use kdeconnect and it's lovely05:21
nodiceokay done experiment... kubuntu sucks still... case closed05:21
valoriegood riddance05:23
captain_haddockAnybody familiar with virtualbox?05:23
valorieI think that's the one most of us use05:26

valorieI think I added the extension pack when I used it for testing05:27
nesciusvalorie: so, it seems that my issues were due to forgotten libsolid4:4.11.5-0ubuntu0.1 which took me few days to track down..05:36
nesciusF*CK!05:37
nesciusi feel much better now05:37
valorieI'm happy to hear that05:38
nesciusvalorie: greatly appreciate your help05:39
valoriebut I don't understand why updating, then dist-upgrading, and finally, install -f didn't find that05:39
valoriewell, all I did was commiserate with you05:39
valorielol05:39
nesciusit did found that, it was just unable to report it as the output lack useable details like conflicts and version numbers05:40
nesciusits my fault.. playing with ppa when i dont feel like fixing it aferwards..05:41
valorie:(05:43
Num83rGuyIf I choose full disk install will the installer preserve my current home folder contents?05:50
valorieno05:51
valorieyou have to choose to set aside your /home05:51
Num83rGuyOK, thanks.05:52
valorieit's an excellent idea to do so, btw05:53
valoriegoogle a bit, there is lots of info about how best to do so05:53
Num83rGuyNeed to do a reinstall, install another OS, and rework my partitions but, I really don't have the space to juggle all of it around without it becoming a fustercluck.05:55
Num83rGuyWas hoping for an easer way.(c)05:55
valoriehd space is pretty cheap these days05:55
* valorie is no good at juggling05:56
Num83rGuyNot when you are as broke as I am. LOL.  Sigh, more surveys for spare change it is then.05:56
valorieSSDs are still somewhat spendy05:57
valoriebut HDs?05:57
Num83rGuyYa, too rich by far.05:57
valorieok05:57
Num83rGuyWell I might be able to get the funds in a month or two.05:58
valorieNum83rGuy: couldn't you just install the other OS in a VM?06:01
valoriethen you don't have to mess with your partitions06:01
valoriejust use what you have06:01
valorieor just upgrade, which is what I did06:01
Num83rGuyVm is a no go I only have 3 GiB RAM and need at least 2 for the other OS.06:01
valorieok06:02
Num83rGuyI was supposed to up grade but, other things came up. :(06:02
valoriedo you have an old HD around for that other OS to be on?06:02
valoriewhat is keeping you from upgrading now?06:03
valorieit takes some time, but just start it before you go out or to bed or something06:03
Num83rGuyI have (1) SATA 1TiB, 4 partitions  - (1) SATA 150GiB 1 part - (1) PATA 300GiB 1 part - (1) 80GiB 1 part and verry little space among them. It can be done but it's not going to be fun.06:05
valorieI'd have to diagram that all out, i think06:05
rowlodeHi, happy easter! the last 2 days i ugraded 8 systems to 14.04. vm guests and laptop worked like a charm. Nice job done! However, i'm having a real pain with my desktop (amd fx 8 core cpu, 32 gb ram and 4 ssd harddrives): kubuntu stops booting 10 out of 11 attempts right after ssd detection after about 23 seconds. Ideas? Is it a bug? If so where and how to report?06:06
valorieI use filelight every once in awhile to see if there is unknown crap bollixing up space06:06
valorieI found some old .kde folders today that were *huge*06:06
Num83rGuyA lot of blender renderings, documents, music, video, My Steam libary that I don't want to spend 6 months to redownload. :D06:06
valorieand a bunch of old ISOs i could dump06:07
Num83rGuyYeah I have been on a cleaning spree too.06:07
valorieturned out I didn't really *need* the room, but I seed all the *buntu ISOs, and that takes a bit of room06:07
rowlodeCan anyone help with boot time problem?06:11
valorierowlode: state your problem, and if someone can help, they will06:13
Num83rGuyrowlode:  Sorry, I Have no experence with SSD drives.  Perhaps booting into recovery mode will give you the information you need to find an answer.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode06:13
Num83rGuyLook for messages about read or write errors and do a drive check when you get to the menu.06:15
rowlodeBoot in recovery fails. Its where i realized when it stops booting06:15
Num83rGuyAh, then I am clueless. Sorry.06:15
rowlodeOnce it actually boots i checked the logs on the previous boots but there are no errors. booting just freezes.06:16
valoriehave you encountered this before?06:17
Num83rGuyWell one person said they had to disable IDE support in BIOS to boot from SSD but, most motherboards don't have IDE these days.06:17
valorieI boot from SSD06:18
lordievaderGood morning.06:18
valoriebut I bought my son's computer with that already set up06:18
valoriemorning, lordievader06:18
rowlodeYes, since 13.04 with my old desktop hardware (amd 6 core cpu, 32 gb ram, same ssds)06:18
lordievaderHey valorie, how are you?06:18
valoriegood! and you?06:19
valorierowlode: could your ssd have failed?06:19
valorieI heard that when they go, it is a sudden death06:19
rowlodeWell my corsair ssds are on sata ports, however in bios the mode is auto, so i'm gonna check this06:20
lordievadervalorie: Doing good. Got this dualboot almost the way I want it :)06:20
rowlodeYeah, i thought about that, already06:20
valoriedual-booting what and what, lordievader?06:20
valorierowlode: if so, you could put / and /boot onto your other disk, right?06:20
rowlodeWith 13.10, i could boot every 5th time, now every 10th, so i'm expected rather a linux problem than failing ssds06:22
rowlodei can't right now, as each disk is already one of those mount points06:22
valoriethat doesn't sound like a software problem to me....06:22
silv3r_m00nhi there06:22
rowlodeOk06:23
lordievadero/06:23
silv3r_m00nwhile booting, the screen with kubuntu + 5 dots that comes up, its resolution is not correct, how do i fix it ? it happened after installing the nvidia drivers06:23
valorieis it possible you have a bad copy of grub2 in some of these mount points?06:23
valoriesomething which wasn't upgraded with the rest?06:23
rowlodeSo i might have to buy an old style hdd and see if the problem goes away06:23
valoriei would do grub-repair first06:24
valorieand see if that's it06:24
valorie!grub-repair06:24
valoriefine then06:24
rowlodenot sure. Grub-repair is a cmd?06:24
valorie!grub06:24
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub206:24
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: You probably cannot fix that. I think it has to do with when the drivers are loaded. Basic functionality (read low res) is usually possible, if higher is wanted the driver should be loaded.06:25
rowlodeBut the problem comes way after grub06:25
rowlodeIt's hard to see a connection06:25
valoriesilv3r_m00n: did you try xrandr though?06:25
valorierowlode: I see your point06:25
lordievaderrowlode: So where does it crash/hang?06:25
silv3r_m00nlordievader: the grub screen resolution is also very low after adding nvidia card06:25
silv3r_m00nvalorie: xrandr ?06:26
valorie!xrandr06:26
ubottuXRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.  Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR1206:26
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: Here it jumps back to text mode plymouth after installing the driver ;)06:26
valoriepff, it's not just for dual screens06:26
lordievadervalorie: Hihi, X is way later ;)06:26
rowlodeAfter about 23 sec. linux detects a real time clock, then usb devices, then sda, sdb, sdc, sdd and freeze06:26
valoriethat's not a good info for xrandr06:26
lordievaderrowlode: Hmm, allways on the disks?06:27
rowlodeYes06:27
lordievaderfsck + smart checks ;)06:27
silv3r_m00nvalorie: this is the output of my xrandr, http://pastie.org/909684906:28
rowlodelordievader: On 13.10 it was very rare that it stopped right after rtc or mice (< 1% of boot freeze cases)06:28
lordievaderrowlode: Still it is a good idea to do the checks I've suggested, you might just have a bad disk on your hands.06:29
silv3r_m00nso it can't be fixed ?06:30
valorielordievader should look at that, he said NO06:31
valorie:-)06:31
rowlodeYes, thanks for your hints lordievader and valorie. I'm gonna check them next time i ned to bootand it fails again. Until then: never stop a running system ;-)06:31
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: Probably not.06:31
valoriegood luck, rowlode06:32
valoriepff, too slow06:32
silv3r_m00nok06:32
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: It might be (very unlikely) that you can recompile the kernel with the driver included instead of a module. But this is unlikely and not supported here.06:32
silv3r_m00nan nvidia welcome screen comes after the kubuntu 5 dot screen, so this means that nvidia drivers are loaded after that ?06:32
lordievaderHmm, fsck and smart can usually be done on a running system....06:32
valoriesilv3r_m00n: you might ask in #ubuntu-kernel06:32
valoriethey might have a patch for you to test06:33
valoriereally nice folks in there06:33
lordievaderI suppose, don't really know the nvidia drivers.06:33
valoriein kubuntu we don't mess with the kernel06:33
valoriebut they fixed my sound once a couple of years ago06:33
* lordievader wonders if Kubuntu would boot his 3.15-rc1 kernel.06:34
silv3r_m00ncan gpu performance be effected by the desktop env ? either kde or cinnamon ? i have quadcore+8gram + geforce 210 on 2 machines, the machine with linux mint cinnamon had better graphics rendering compared to this kubuntu machine06:37
jaikhi06:50
jaikquestion...06:50
jaikI just jumped from kubuntu 12.04 to 14.0406:51
valoriedid the upgrade go well?06:51
jaikand noticed that the display settings chanded a lot06:51
jaikactually I still have 12.0406:52
jaikI have two partitions for installing06:52
jaikone I use it for regular use and the other for testing06:52
jaikactually Im doing a test run06:52
jaikany who...06:53
jaikon 12.04 when I connect an external display06:53
jaikit would automatically popup a dialog with a question if I wanted to automatically config my dual monitor06:55
jaikdont see that anymore06:55
jaikso I went straigt to the display settings06:55
valorienow there is kscreen06:55
jaikand everything is changed06:55
valorieby "everything" not sure what you mean06:55
jaiklong sroty short06:56
jaikcant find how to mirror my display06:56
jaikbefore it was real easy06:56
valoriewell, I feel very ignorant -- I don't know what you mean by "mirror the display" either06:57
valoriehopefully someone who knows more will speak up06:58
jaiko to display same image on both displays06:59
jaikbefore I would just select an option07:00
jaikI think it was something like "make displays the same size"07:00
jaikand by clicking that it would find the best resolution for both displays to show the same thing on both of them07:01
valorieyou might check out xrandr07:01
jaikbut on 14.04 I only see a screen that show both my displays07:02
valorie!xrandr07:02

silv3r_m00ndoes compiz work with kubuntu ?07:03
valorie!info compiz07:03

valorieif it's packaged, it can be used07:03
cr45h0v3r1d3sweet07:04
cr45h0v3r1d3so you can get all kinds of fancy 3d desktop effects in kubuntu too i'm guessing ?07:04
valoriein kwin it's built in, yes07:04
cr45h0v3r1d3and non 3d wobbly windows etc07:04
cr45h0v3r1d3valorie: good news ;)07:04
valorieif you computer can render the stuff07:04
cr45h0v3r1d3yeah should be able to07:05
valoriesystemsettings07:05
valoriego wild07:05
lordievaderjaik: Just drag the two screen on top of eachother for mirror.07:05
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: There is no need for compiz, we got kwin :D07:05
cr45h0v3r1d3yeah i think you can just use the built in kwin, without installing compiz07:05
silv3r_m00nlordievader: yeah kwin is working fine, i hope its using my graphics card for the job07:06
jaiklordievader: tried it and it did something real funky07:06
lordievadersilv3r_m00n: You can check, system settings -> desktop effects -> advanced -> compositing type.07:07
jaikit compacted the image from desktops07:08
lordievaderjaik: It will match the resolution, is that what you mean?07:08
jaikyes thats what I want07:08
jaikfor it to match both resolutions07:08
silv3r_m00nlordievader: compositing type is opengl 2.0 and opengl renderer is the nvidia driver, so i guess its working07:08
jaikbut when I tried draging my secondary display to my prmary display07:09
jaikit showed a distorioned imaged with what seemed to be both desktops on each display07:09

lordievaderjaik: Hmm, that is strange. Unfortunatly I don't have a multimonitor setup here to see if I get the same behaviour.07:10
jaikcr45h0v3r1d3: no07:10
jaikbut that the thing07:10
jaikon verision 12.04 i would select to make both resolutions the same07:11
jaikand after clicking apply it would reduce resolutions on both displays to the highest compatibe dislay for both07:12
cr45h0v3r1d3yeah07:12
jaikbut on this new version I dont see nothing like that. I assumed that by draging one display on top of the other that would do the trick but it did what I described earlier07:13
jaiklike a distorted split screen on both my laptop and my tv07:14
cr45h0v3r1d3maybe you can manually do it in the settings somewhere07:15

jaiklordievader: have not tried that let me see. this is actually a different tv than the one I used earlier on this one it just takes the highest resolution and displays same image on both. But since my laptop renders a smaller resolution I only see portion of the display07:29

tester1337so currently I got a dual boot system windows 7 and Ubuntu. I am wondering if I want to install kUbuntu do I just have to overwrite the ubuntu install or do I need to do the whole grub restore thing aswell before that11:18
lordievadertester1337: You can simply install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package on your Ubuntu machine to have Kubuntu :)11:24

rvraghav93Why does "Show in folder" of downloads when opened via the Download tab of chrome open via konquerer rather than dolphin ?14:36
rvraghav93this changed behaviour was after upgrading to 1414:37
rvraghav93Any suggestions to change it back to dolphin?14:37
snelervraghav93: go to system settings>default applications and choose dolphin for default file manager14:38

rcw2yes, chrome may have an audio issue.  maybe i should reinstall it14:42
vistakillerhello i have just upgrade my system and is an excellent version but i am little confused with popup notifications14:55
vistakilleris not appear good14:55
vistakilleris there anyway to change them?14:55
prillian5hi15:01
DJ_UnibobSigh, upgrading to 14.04 broke my system, stuck at 1024x768 on my primary display and my secondary display refuses to work.15:01
prillian5can i switch from a non LTS to LTS version?15:01
vistakillerprillian5 yes15:02
genii_prillian5: You can go for instance from 13.10 to 14.04, yes15:02
vistakillerDJ try to reinstall gpu card drivers15:02
vistakilleranyone know why i have a plasma popup in the left up corner for notifications?15:03
prillian5k, cause i've read before that this is not possible in each circumstances15:03
DJ_UnibobALright. I'll try that, how would I go about finding the propreitery drivers program?15:04
prillian5but btw. i read before 10 seconds, that openoffice is back in kubuntu ?!15:04
genii_prillian5: If you are running for instance 13.04 then likely you need to go 13.04->13.10->14.0415:04
prillian5not libre anymore?15:04
prillian5ah sorry, i was wrong15:05
prillian5see, libre is still in use.15:05

DJ_Unibobat least I haven't found it anyway, I do see the 333.38 in the repositories, but it shows them as already running, but doesn't seem to make a difference.15:08

DJ_UnibobThat fixed the display issue.  :)15:14
vistakillerhow can i get off the plasma notification in the left upper corner?15:15
DJ_UnibobI disabled the quiet boot and there were quite a few things that had a status of [fail] during the boot.15:16
prillian5some nice improvements15:16
DJ_UnibobI'm now going to see if I can boot into the ubuntu desktop, that was failing before, though I could boot into KDE15:17
prillian5btw. big praise to KDE. Have to used gnome some weeks ago. Result: I still not like it. I love KDE15:17
Shaan7prillian5: thanks :D15:19
prillian5the new networkmanager is also really nice15:20
vistakilleranyone know about notifications? why i have a plasma notification appart from tray in the left up corner?15:22
vistakilleranyone else has this?15:22
MoonUnit`vistakiller, do you have an extra notification widget on the screen?15:30
vistakilleryes but i dont remember to install it15:30
vistakilleris in the up left corner and it dont have tools to delete it or to erase it15:31
vistakilleris just a plasma icon that popup and stay there15:31
vistakilleranyone else has this?15:31
vistakillernotify-osd is a native kubuntu package?15:33

MoonUnit`only notifications i have are from the notification widget in the system tray.15:37
vistakillerstrange then how they get there.. :P15:37
vistakilleris an upgrade system15:38
vistakillertime for a restart15:38
vistakilleri think i have found it15:40
vistakilleris from pidgin :P15:41
MoonUnit`hah i have pidgin notifications disabled15:41
Shaan7just use kde telepathy :)15:41
prillian5#is-AO+13/4ab!15:42
vistakilleri use pidgin 6 years now..15:43
vistakillermaybe more15:43
prillian5i also have used pidgin many years, and it is great application. But now i use telepathy and konversation15:44
prillian5i like the integration of telepathy in main OS, and there is nothing i miss at the moment, but a good irc integration, cause of this i use konversation15:45
vistakilleri dont know how to add irc to telepathy15:46
prillian5vistakiller: me too, cause of this i use konversation ( don't like quassel )15:48
prillian5konversation is better for irc than pidgin15:48
prillian5and the only downside is, that irc and messenger is not still in the same programm (like in pidgin before), but the upside is, not so much gnome-packeges need to be installed anymore (for pidgin)15:49
prillian5hope voip will work soon in telepathy.15:52
vistakillernow i lost thunderbird new email notification15:54
vistakilleri dont know how i get this to work with kde notification15:54
vistakilleri dont remember15:54
prillian5vistakiller: better use kmail16:05
prillian5its really great16:05
prillian5switched before 2 years to kmail. great groupware16:05
vistakilleri use kmail for dapper but i stop use it three years now after an upgrade that break everything16:05
prillian5i know this dark time of kmail, but trust me, those times are gone16:06
vistakilleri will give a try16:06
vistakilleri was once a loyal kmail user :P16:07
prillian5i even hate kmail in those times and also switched to thunderbird. But till 2 years  it is solid like in KDE316:07
prillian5The devs done a good job and the desktop integration is also really good.16:07
