[00:00] The solution was to use xmodmap or ksuperkey to remap ALT+F1 from [00:02] Is there a way of making KDE forget which windows were open previously? Every time I boot, my previous session is loaded with all the windows and tabs etc from last time. i don't want that. [00:04] keto4life_: system settings >> startup and shutdown >> session management >> select "start with empty session" [00:05] claydoh: Spot on! [00:05] Thanks bro. [00:06] ;) [00:11] claydoh: Is dolphin themable? [00:12] keto4life_: yes, though probably themable as part of theming KDE as a whole - color scheme, wideco, etc [00:12] kk [00:47] Im having some display problems since upgrading to 14.04, and havent been able to find anything online. When I open kmix now it opens on my second monitor (which doesnt have the taskbar on it at all) and now when i fullsize videos they show on the second monitor, not the first. [00:47] Anyone know any way to fix these issues? [01:23] hey all [01:24] i had installed ubuntu, but strange lockups probably related to my nvidia card made me decide to just do a reinstall [01:24] so im ttrying kubuntu [01:24] its installing now... [01:24] anyone here the PRO at getting nvidia optimus working in kubuntu 14.04 ?? [01:24] nvidia-prime or bumblebee or this or that === SvenOostenbrink is now known as phoenixz [02:11] hello all [02:11] anyone around? i am in need of some slight help [02:23] i dont speak english, some one can help Desertstarr? [02:27] don't seem to be anyone available [02:36] Desertstarr tell me your problem, maybe i can undestand and help you :) [02:37] I have just installed a second harddrive (sdb), and confgiured hdparm with -B254 -S1, that (almost immedietly) sends the drive into standby, which is good. the drive will stay in standby , until something wakes it, ie. dolphin; and afterthat, no amount of time or coersion will put it back into standby. [02:37] Has anyone seen something like that before? [02:41] As for my problem, I had connected my NAS harddrive to ubuntu useing samba, when i converted to Kubuntu, I lost the ability to browse the Nas directory. Was wondering how to start to trouble shooting [02:41] trouble shoot* [02:47] Desertstarr try open Dolphin whit "sudo dolphin" in a terminal to get acces to the NAS harddrive [02:47] Desertstarr: What do you mean by "browse the NAS directory"? - Does that mean you can ping the NAS (it's name/ip) but not see its shares using, smbclient forinstance? [02:50] when i open dolphin [02:50] and look through network [02:50] i can see my nas hardrive [02:50] but when i click on it [02:51] doesn't open and i don;t have acess to the files on it [02:52] (network: > antholgy ) is as far as it goes [02:52] Does you NAS allow anonymous access? you could try running "smbclient -L " in bash to test access [02:52] even thought there should be more sub directories [02:52] its acess should be password and user protected [02:53] when i clicked on it in nautilius a prompt would open and i would enter than info [02:53] on dolphin nothing happens [02:53] that info* [02:54] i ran sudo dolphin [02:55] and it ran thought the terminal but im not sure what the output is saying lol [02:56] should i post the output to a google doc and post the link here? [02:56] put the outpout here, maybe jbc_ can help you [02:56] it is a bit long but ok [02:56] use parte.kde.org [02:56] paste.kde.org [02:56] sorry its: paste.kde.org [02:56] then put the link here [02:57] http://goo.gl/TlDH0O [02:57] Meanwhile what happens if you try manually typing in the path to the share in dolphin, something like: smb://fileserver/data/ [02:58] umm i will try that now [03:00] says it doesn't exsist [03:00] exist* [03:01] try that smbclient command or typed earlier [03:01] ...command or typed... command >I< typed :) [03:03] getting syntax error [03:04] i think i entered it properly though [03:05] if you ping Anthology does it give you the correct ip ? [03:06] if so try "smbclient -L Anthology" [03:06] smbclient -L is how i entered it [03:07] ohh, thats why it should be hostname or ip-addess [03:07] not both [03:07] so smbclient -L 192.168.2.2 [03:07] oh my mistake [03:07] sorry [03:07] np. [03:09] http://goo.gl/WJKWvU [03:09] seems to have come back sucessful [03:09] okay, so we can access the thing atleast :) [03:10] yes sir [03:11] now in dolphin, type smb://@192.168.2.2/Public [03:11] what does that get you? [03:13] user name for the nas or kubuntu's username? [03:13] for nas [03:16] getting no such file or directory [03:16] even though that is the user name i use for acess [03:16] i even checked [03:17] hmm [03:18] what if you just mount it? [03:18] sudo mkdir -p /mnt/192.168.2.2/Public [03:18] mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/Public -o username=,password= /mnt/192.168.2.2/Public [03:19] isn't that what samba did or was doing for me in ubuntu untill i installed kubuntu? [03:19] not exactly [03:21] so to make sure im correct [03:22] mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/Public -o username=,password= /mnt/192.168.2.2/Public [03:22] like that? [03:23] yes, but you have to create to /mnt/192.168.2.2/Pulib folder first [03:23] and Public [03:26] ohh, and no [03:26] sorry; username=desertstarr,password=mypassword (no <>, I just type those to indicate placeholders) [03:27] ah i see' [03:27] did you type those (<>) in the smb://username@192.168.2.2/Public before? [03:28] no no before i knew to take it out [03:29] this set of commands i was't so sure of... so i kept them in [03:29] wasn't [03:33] hang on, I'll just type up the commands for you, 2 secs. [03:33] how do i become root? [03:33] sort of embarrasing to ask [03:33] i should know atlease that [03:34] sudo, but if you wait just a moment [03:34] ok [03:34] the mount -t cifs //192.168.2.2/Public -o username=,password= /mnt/192.168.2.2/Public command asked for root, which is why i asked [03:34] but continue on your way [03:36] be back in 5 mins dog needs to go out :-( [03:39] okay, this should do it; http://paste.kde.org/pux7ewoch [03:41] That should get you an anthology/public folder in your users home folder [03:43] It is rather wierd that KDE doesn't accept the smb:// path scheme [03:45] I thought there was a kioslave for samba [03:49] Desertstarr: Google just told me about the program "smb4k", I installed it using synaptic and it "automates" the mount process for samba. [03:50] Desertstarr: Might be easier for you to go with that. [03:50] ohh [03:50] ok [03:51] because i kept getting bash: kde-username: No such file or directory [03:51] i will try smb4k [03:51] it is in muon... [03:53] found it in synaptic manager also [03:53] smae version 1.0.9-1 [03:53] same* [03:57] brb going to switch to ubuntu and see if i can acess it [04:01] welcome back [04:01] i have acess on ubuntu... thank you [04:02] access* [04:02] I couldn't tell you whats the matter with your installation, we'll need smarter people for that, but have a look if mounting the share (using smb4k) what gain you access. [04:03] I've just been playing around with it, and it seams a nifty little thing [04:03] ok [04:03] i installed it with synaptic... but couldn't find it [04:04] i will restart back into kubuntu and trouble shoot more [04:07] Smb4K is under "Utilities" for me [04:07] I'll have to leave soon; Suns up in my part of the world now, and if I hurry, I can get a pot of tea going before the girls get out of bed :) [04:08] i have a bunch of anthology folders in different directories lol [04:09] wasnt there, reinstalling now [04:10] What if you just search for it [04:11] after resinstall the search found it [04:13] doesn't see anything in the network after a network scan [04:14] The only positive thing I can say, is that mounting the share will enable access from pretty much all programs. I have a couple of programs that don't "get" smb:// - Like Sublime Text and such [04:14] Try the "nabourhood" tab to the left [04:14] neighborhood [04:14] Man, my english is worse than my spelling ;) [04:15] looks promising [04:15] it asked for username and password [04:16] waiting for it to finish its search and buffering [04:18] Check out settings->conf. smb4k ... A few things in there you may want to look at. [04:23] Heh! - Meanwhile my issue with my new harddrive has sorted it self out... [04:24] lol atleast something was accomplished thought all this [04:26] Desertstarr: don't know the rules in here; So I might get kicked now; But if you're looking for a good KDE based *buntu/debian distribution; You should check out netrunner-os.com [04:27] oh ok, for now im going to tinker with kubuntu, i like its widgets and customization [04:27] Their standard stable release is based off of kubuntu [04:27] i heard of netrunner though [04:27] ok [04:28] brb. [04:32] wb [04:33] thank you kindly [04:34] Now to see if my hdd issues persist after a reboot ... [04:34] jbc_: it is fine to discuss netrunner etc. in the #kubuntu-offtopic channel [04:34] valorie: ok, thank you. [04:34] this is help for kubuntu users though [04:35] Desertstarr: Did it work btw. do you have access to your files now? [04:36] in network neighborhood is shows the anthology array, bu when i click on it it just buffers and searches [04:36] sooo [04:36] no [04:37] it is not super annoying or major yet [04:37] i will tinker with it [04:37] im sure im doing something stupid [04:37] :( - I'll have to deferer you to the channel, I have to go soon [04:37] np thank you for your help [04:37] i appreciate it greatly [04:37] welcome sir; see you around [04:37] probably going to go tobed myself [04:38] have a good night all === calin is now known as crucerucalin [05:12] New to kubuntu. It's a lot to digest [05:21] IAmLycan: how can we help? === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [05:24] Just looking to get involved in the community [05:25] that's wonderful to hear! [05:26] Have any tips for a beginner? [05:26] what are you interested in doing? [05:27] that's a bit general [05:27] I'm a decent programmer, but always interested in improving. Also looking to get into web development. [05:27] are you interested in fixing some bugs? [05:27] we can always use help [05:28] I'd love to try [05:28] IAmLycan: I started with exploring the desktop, and kde applications and fixing bugs in that. [05:28] also our website could use some help, too [05:28] sec === rookie is now known as IAmLycan [05:30] Accidentaly disconnected if you sent links could you please send them again [05:32] IAmLycan: are you new to linux, or just new to Kubuntu? [05:35] I messed around with Linux 8 or so years ago. Haven't really touched it since. And new to Kubuntu completely [05:36] I think the desktops available all run more smoothly these days [05:36] more power helps, I'm sure [05:37] As a Linux user since 1999, I can vouch for KDE as the best environment available. [05:37] anyway, a good way to start is join the Kubuntu-devel mail list [05:37] !bugs [05:37] If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers. [05:37] I will certainly do that [05:37] reporting bugs is great, and fixing them even more excellent [05:38] I'm tinkering around with Kdevelop4 at the moment [05:38] I'm sure the webteam would enjoy more help; we're trying to move everything to our own server from the Canonical servers [05:39] the devel chan is #kubuntu-devel [05:39] valorie: What's the website built on? [05:39] uh [05:39] <-- 20 year web developer [05:39] you are asking the wrong person, LOL [05:39] haha [05:40] Etriaph: any advice on starting web dev? [05:40] anyway, introduce yourself on the list, dig around on the website, and see what bothers you [05:40] IAmLycan: You'll likely end up starting with PHP, there's a ton of work available in that world, but avoid is as much as you can :D [05:41] But that's OT [05:41] Feel free to query me if you want in-depth advice [05:42] I think the site runs Python [05:43] So some Python web framework most likely [05:43] valorie: How do I get in touch with the web team to offer assistance? [05:43] on the devel list is the most reliable [05:43] IRC is great when people are at their keyboards [05:44] but lists are 24/7 [06:12] valorie: Do you know if it's possible to only receive the digest email but not each message? [06:12] Or is setting it to digest just going to send the digest and not the rest? [06:13] the digest is each message [06:13] all together in one mail [06:13] if you want both individual posts and the digest, you'll have to sub with two email accounts [06:14] Ah, OK, that answers my question thanks :D [06:14] if you opt for the digest, *please* edit the quoted digest before sending a reply to the list [06:16] Oh, yes, I'll be sure to. [06:17] thank you [06:18] this is my biggest beef with digests ever since mail lists started [06:18] back in the stone age [06:19] If Google Wave had ever taken off, you never would have had to worry about it :D [06:19] Great idea, but no, not a great idea, but it was, but no [06:20] I tried it out [06:20] but it was too clumsy [06:20] Yup, the client-side technologies weren't ready for it [06:20] But the server-side idea was a good leap beyond the various crappy technologies we use today [06:20] Ah well [06:20] also there was no archives, which is the hidden treasure of mail lists [06:20] yes [06:20] If you have your own wave server there were :D [06:20] there can always be another try [06:21] sure, but for public lists, there should be an easy way to search [06:21] For a public list you'd have a public wave server, just not on Google's network [06:21] I started out using genealogy lists, and search was crucial [06:21] still is [06:21] They were providing the capability to have your *own* wave server. [06:22] yes, I remember that [06:22] And two wave servers could share information [06:22] With your own wave server, you could archive data, so wave.ubuntu.com would archive waves [06:22] oh, please let's take this to #kubuntu-offtopic [06:22] Oh, crap, sorry :D [06:44] Hi, which path does $KDE_PREFIX refers to? [06:44] refer* [06:45] maysara: are you talking about a path in ~/ , or what? [06:47] valorie: I don't know actually. I just found it in a installation guide [06:47] link? [06:48] valorie: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/oxygen-icons.html [06:48] Good morning. [06:52] so what does it stand for? [06:52] that generally means ~/ (which means /home/yourID/) and either .kde or .kde4 [06:52] in the case of Kubuntu, we use .kde [06:52] so the whole path would be: ~/.kde [06:52] Aha, thank you [06:56] maysara: Here the $KDE_PREFIX is blank. [06:59] lordievader: ? [07:01] I thought maysara wanted to know where to it pointed. [07:02] it points to ~/.kde [07:03] As I've said here it's empty. [07:03] that holds all your kde settings, and much more [07:03] can't be empty! === karel is now known as Guest30686 [07:04] even if you move or delete, it will be replaced [07:04] I know the folder, I'm just saying the variable is empty. [07:04] ok [07:05] usually the variable has to be exported at some point [07:05] probably isn't unless you are building stuff [08:37] hello [08:41] how are you ? === calin is now known as crucerucalin === steel|off is now known as steel_afk === steel_afk is now known as steel|off === MaxiM is now known as Guest56529 [11:29] 'Morning folks === cryptognomon is now known as noobius [12:02] I found out that kubuntu / kde doesn't work with smartphones and the problem has been going on close to a year lol pathetic!!! [12:12] nokde: Did you file a bug a year ago? === miguel_ is now known as Guest21096 [12:54] ХУЙ [13:00] hello! i [13:00] BBL [13:01] I've freshly installed kubuntu on my new ssd and dont have a swap partition, but there is encrypted swap mentioned in fstab.. [13:01] htop does not show anything swapped [13:01] swap: 0/0 [13:02] and since i have only 4G of ram it OOMed already few times since yesterday default instalation [13:03] i guess, is it common to have no swap in default full disk usage selection? [13:03] ..installation [13:07] nescius: 4G of ram and OOM? How did you do that? [13:08] lordievader: installed kde and ran flash in firefox [13:08] not that difficult... [13:08] akonady eats like 1.4 GB [13:10] O.O [13:10] lordievader: yes, it is ridiculus.. it is fresh installation, just two days old, i tried to move my data from old notebook to the new one (thinkpad X1 crapbon) [13:11] nescius: Anyhow creating a swap partition is not very hard. Be sure to make a backup ;) [13:11] i was thinking more in a way of using swap file [13:11] My system rarely uses more than 2 Gb of ram. [13:12] lordievader: how much swap do you have? [13:12] nescius: Usually around 4~5 Gb, but it's allmost never used. [13:14] but why is the swap creation not in the default disk option ? [13:15] wow! before killing akonadi 3.4G and after 1.7G [13:15] Don't know. Haven't used the automatic setup for ages. [13:16] lordievader: me neither.. but i thought it knows better than i do and since the manual is so confusing i keep it on the default.. === calin is now known as crucerucalin [13:17] btw, in the fstab, it mentions cryptoswap.. [13:17] why? and how it works if there is no swap? [13:17] does anyone know? [13:18] hi all [13:18] ehlo! [13:19] i have problem with cpufrequtils & sysfsutils on newest kubuntu [13:19] nescius: Cryptswap is an encrypted swap partition. Seems to become default. See it more and more. [13:19] could anyone help me a little bit [13:19] lordievader: apparently it is not a partition, there is no swap partition at all.. [13:20] nescius: Check your crypttab /etc/crypttab [13:20] Hypnos: What is exactly the problem? [13:20] i configure sysfsutils & cpufrequtils as here https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/CpuFrequencyScaling on my kubuntu [13:21] and now when i try to start : service sysfsutils start [code] * Setting sysfs variables... * unknown attribute devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative * unknown attribute devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative/freq_step * unknown attribute devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative/u [13:22] !paste | Hypnos [13:22] Hypnos: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [13:26] sorry for that [13:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7359368/ [13:30] Hypnos: I have no idea but it might be that the problem in in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq not existing. [13:30] cpufreq is exist [13:31] Hypnos: Conservative inside it too? [13:35] no there is only ondeman directory and boot file [13:35] *boost [13:35] Then that is probably the error. [13:37] hmm, i cant mkdir inside cpufreq as root [13:37] Hypnos: No it is a sysfs, not a traditional file system. [13:38] Hypnos, solid-powermanagement set cpufreq (ondemand , performance, etc) [13:39] solid-powermenagment didn't find [13:40] ok, try sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g (performance or ondemand etc) [13:42] @BluesKaj now i have conservative dir in cpufreq [13:42] Hypnos, hmm , not familiar with that setting [13:43] BluesKaj: Much like ondemand, but only steps one up or down. [13:47] ok now it works [13:47] thanks all [13:56] I was researching my lack of swap and found that there is an unkonwn partition, a line in cryptoswap pointing to uuid which is nowhere in /dev/disk/by-* to be found and free shows zeroes in swap [13:59] the mentioned partition is of unknown type and is not mounted (mentioned in both gparted and kpartitionmanager) [13:59] nescius, you can also create a swap file instead of a partition [14:00] BluesKaj: yes, i was thinking about it, and it would make sence and I will probably do that as i have ssd [14:01] but the system is freshly installed with all the default settings, why is there a partition like this since i asked the instalation for default disk partitioning.. ? [14:02] lordievader: yes. But, considering it's a kde-wide bug, others have filed bug reports on it - still not fixed, though... lol [14:02] nescius, how much RAM? [14:02] 4G [14:03] nokde: Hmm, that is too bad :( [14:03] it's pretty pathetic that kde developers don't think it's an issue worth fixing [14:04] my smartphone works in cinnamon, gnome, xfce etc. - everything but kde [14:04] lol [14:04] nokde: calm down.. [14:04] it does not help anyone [14:05] how do you know? it might [14:05] nescius, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042946 [14:05] :) [14:06] nokde, http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/kde-takes-on-android-apples-ios-on-smartphones-and-tablets/9717 [14:08] nokde, it shows that kde can run smartphones [14:10] BluesKaj: total nonsense [14:11] in the kubuntu forum and opensuse one, both have threads about trying to get an android smartphone working [14:11] BluesKaj: thanks, i have set it up yesterday but deleted it again when i noticed there is cryptoswap mentioned in fstab.. but there is not any physical partition... [14:11] BluesKaj: its a bit complicated issue, do you think it could be a bug? [14:12] nokde, if you say so, then perhaps you can find the answer by doing some research yourself [14:12] it's also 3 yrs old... maybe older versions worked but not now [14:12] what for? kde should do it [14:13] it works in the other desktop enviroments [14:13] nescius, a swap file resides in kubuntu not on a partition [14:15] unable to switch datacard from 2g to 3g network and from 3g to 2g network also.Problem is solved by downgrading the package modemmanager.But when it will be fixed? [14:16] nescius, a swap partition is just that, using manual partitioning during the install is recommended. [14:16] it just shows kde's thoughts on the end user [14:16] BluesKaj: i understand what you are saying, but i mentioned physical partition because i ment partition.. it is probably really a bug.. [14:18] nescius, pastebin your /etc/fstab [14:18] kde is about eye candy and marketing, not functionality [14:19] nokde, no trolling please [14:19] nokde: please go bitching somewhere else [14:19] BluesKaj: thanks, but my wife is calling me.. :D [14:29] Will Kubuntu 14.04 come with a text mode installer? the graphical one does not want to start correctly on mine. [14:31] znix: No, I'm afraid not. You could try the Ubuntu Server -> kubuntu desktop route. [14:41] !minimal [14:41] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:42] znix,^ [14:45] system settings > system administration > diagnostics, is that apport ? === DeadS0ul is now known as spawn57 [14:57] is there any konqueror ppa ? [15:03] alket, shouldn't that be included with kubuntu-desktop packages? [15:08] snuggyfoo: I want the new version [15:09] !info konqueror trusty | alket [15:09] alket: konqueror (source: kde-baseapps): advanced file manager, web browser and document viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 1147 kB, installed size 3301 kB [15:09] that's what we have [15:27] BluesKaj: thanks for the suggestion! [15:27] lordievader: I will use that as option two if it goes wrong with minimal. thanks! [15:28] znix, hope it's what you're looking for. [15:34] BluesKaj: yes I think so. It's ubuntu but I assume I will choose what desktop env to install, and I will go with KDE [15:35] znix, yes I think the intion is to provice the ubuntu core then users can install whatever desktop they choose [15:36] intention [15:37] * BluesKaj searches for his glasses ...again === joshw is now known as joejoshw [16:29] after upgrade to 14.04, grub says 'Ubuntu' instead of 'Kubuntu', is this a known issue?
