[00:18] <amundsen> hi
[00:18] <amundsen> is there any technical reason to remove rekonq from the oficial iso?
[00:29] <andre__> como faço para instalar pacote portugues no meu kubuntu
[00:29] <andre__> ?
[00:51] <Kodi> I have a boot problem of sorts. I was   getting along very well with Kubuntu   for years when I tried installing   Windows 7 into an unallocated 150-  gig-ish partition today. That worked,   but then of course the GRUB bootmenu   was inacessible. I've tried to get it   to show up again with Boot-Repair-  Disk, twice   (http://paste.ubuntu.com/7389880/,   http://paste.ubuntu.com/7389972/), but   not only has this not worked, I ran   GPa
[00:51] <Kodi> Boot-  Repair-Disk to look at paritions again   and saw that what I thought was my   Kubuntu partition is now listed as   "unallocated". I thought I hadn't   touched it. Any ideas, folks?
[01:19] <Kodi> I've been fiddling with TestDisk. I'll reboot and hopefully things will be better.
[03:41] <Lac3rat3d> anyone here for a newb question?
[03:47] <valorie> Lac3rat3d: ask your question!
[03:47] <DarthFrog> !ask
[03:52] <Lac3rat3d> ok, i have an alias function that runs a program with some arguments. can i prompt for root password somehow inside the function? so only if root password is correct, the program runs, otherwise do nothing.  i don't actually want to run the program as root though, i just want to make sure the person that runs the alias function knows the root pasword
[03:54] <valorie> user: fix your connection!
[04:03] <DarthFrog> Lac3rat3d: Instead of an alias, write a shell script and have the script ask for the info.
[04:05] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: the fact that user is using quassel and all these joinparts....
[04:05] <TheFakeazneD525> is quassel stable?
[04:16] <valorie> TheFakeazneD525: quassel is
[04:17] <valorie> his core obviously ain't
[04:42] <Lac3rat3d> when i do ls -la, it shows user and group as the same; like Lac3rat3d Lac3rat3d  what does that mean?
[04:44] <aksh> hii
[04:44] <aksh> is anyone there
[04:54] <Lac3rat3d> if i do: chmod -R 700 /home/Lac3rat3d    would that make everything in my home dir only read/write/executable by my user? and is that bad
[05:05] <aksh> can anyone help me on this
[05:33] <valorie> !permissions
[05:33] <valorie> Lac3rat3d: ^^^
[05:34] <Lac3rat3d> I understand what the 700 stands for, I'm more asking for advice
[05:37] <valorie> I guess nobody is awake to give you that
[05:39] <Lac3rat3d> its okay
[05:40] <Lac3rat3d> thanks anyways valorie
[05:40] <Lac3rat3d> Does anyone know why there is a group with the same name as my username?
[05:40] <valorie> in general, you have to login as your user to access your /home
[05:41] <Lac3rat3d> ya, but some folders in /home/username/ have r/w/e permissions for users other than myself
[05:41] <valorie> so it should be only r/w/x by your user anyway
[05:41] <valorie> Share maybe
[05:42] <Lac3rat3d> ex: /home/username/Pictures is drwxr-xr-x
[05:42] <Lac3rat3d> which means users in the group can read and execute, and others can read and execute in that directory, correct?
[05:43] <valorie> some stuff you want applications to be able to read/write/execute
[05:43] <valorie> such as on your photos or music
[05:43] <valorie> even documents
[05:43] <Lac3rat3d> shouldn't the programs be running as my user anyways?
[05:45] <valorie> that depends
[05:45]  * valorie is nooooo expert here
[05:45] <Lac3rat3d> neither am i :) just lerning
[05:45] <Lac3rat3d> *learning
[05:46] <valorie> in general, the way that they are auto-set is correct
[05:46] <valorie> and you shouldn't have to mess with them
[05:47] <Lac3rat3d> that's not what i've read
[05:47] <Lac3rat3d> i've read that ubuntu distro leaves your home directory kinda open by default
[05:47] <valorie> no
[05:47] <Lac3rat3d> http://www.ubuntufieldmanual.com/?q=node/50
[05:48] <valorie> I'm not qualified to judge the truth of that
[05:48] <valorie> but all linux distros have an emphasis on safety and security
[05:49] <valorie> including ubuntu and debian, our upstream
[05:51] <Lac3rat3d> dones't necessarily mean they're locked-down out of the box :)
[05:51] <valorie> this might help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring
[05:52] <valorie> of course there are ways to lock them down even more
[05:52] <valorie> I was reading about wiretap earlier
[05:52] <valorie> no way I will go through all that
[05:52] <valorie> I've been using kubuntu for many years with few to no problems
[05:53] <valorie> none with security
[05:53] <valorie> and I'm online all the time
[05:53] <Lac3rat3d> i'm not looking to set up a server :P
[05:53] <Lac3rat3d> just want to lock down my home directory
[05:54] <geowany> the filesystem are hierachical. so, if you take permission on a directory from a user, he can't access data in this directory, despite other files/folders inside is granted to this user.
[05:57] <geowany> do you wanna try? so, create a dir in /tmp folder, I'll call "apache, "$ sudo mkdir /tmp/apache/", change your permission, "chown www-data:www-data /tmp/apache/ && chmod 770 /tmp/apache/", create other dir "sudo mkdir /tmp/apache/all", give permission for all "sudo chmod 777 /tmp/apache/all", finally, try to access that "all" folder
[05:58] <geowany> you will gain a beauty "bash: cd: /tmp/apache/all: Permissão negada"
[05:59] <geowany> Permissão negada = permission denied (I'm brazilian)
[06:00] <Lac3rat3d> so what you're saying is that if i chmod 700 /home/username, even if /home/username/Pictures is drwxr-xr-x other users can't access it because /home/username/ is drwx------ ?
[06:01] <geowany> Others users can't access this, despite 755 permissions on folder.
[06:01] <geowany> Do you wanna try? Yes? So, create other user and try to access data.
[06:02] <Lac3rat3d> i beleive you, just wanted to ask :)
[06:03] <geowany> Don't believe in me. Try! You will learn so much about this.
[06:08] <Lac3rat3d> im too lazy to make another user right now lol
[06:09] <valorie> It's always worthwhile to have a alternate user for testing configs, etc.
[06:09] <valorie> but of course that can be done at any time
[07:39] <wolftune> hi, I can suspend and hibernate with pm-utils command line, but neither option appears in my energy settings or my widget menus
[07:40] <wolftune> perhaps I am missing some dependencies needed for KDE to access the suspend option?
[07:40] <wolftune> I hope someone can help me figure this out
[08:19] <clagiafra> ciao chi mi da il comando del terminale per passare da kubu 12.04 a 14.04 ? lo ringrazio

[14:58] <silv3r_m00n> i checked the /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins directory and it was empty, so created a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so  but it still does not work

[16:04] <nekoxmachina> Hello everyone! I need a bit of help w/ efibootmgr. I want to install it to boot kernel from /dev/sdb1 (e.g. not first hdd), however when I do --disk /dev/sdb it still tries to boot from first harddrive. Could anyone give me a hand of help?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> nekoxmachina, go into the uefi/bios and set the boot sequence to the disk that you want to boot first
[16:08] <nekoxmachina> Nono, I didn't mean that. I've meant that it boots valid kernel from different disk I wanted.
[16:08] <DarthFrog> nekoxmachina:  That's ... odd.  Did you install the system on the right disk?
[16:11] <nekoxmachina> Well, efibootmgr claims me this: http://pastie.org/9139818
[16:11] <nekoxmachina> It is generated with efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sdb --part 1
[16:12] <nekoxmachina> When I try to boot Gentoo (ck) it boots from \boot\efi\bootx64.efi on my sda, which exists & which is similiar kernel (a kludge to boot second system up)
[16:15] <nekoxmachina> (if its invalid channel to ask this question - sorry everyone):)
[16:16] <BluesKaj> nekoxmachina, perhaps someone in ##linux or #gentoo can help
[16:17] <nekoxmachina> okie
[16:17] <nekoxmachina> thanks
[16:38] <paulgaryotis> Kubuntu newbie here: I've made a Mac-esque panel of quick launch icons on the right side of my screen, but I'd like to have the icons be bigger. When I expand the width of the panel, though, the icon's don't scale. When the panel is on the top or the bottom of the screen, they do, though. Anybody know what's up with this strange behavior. I'm running 14.04.
[16:48] <DarthFrog> !patience
[16:53] <BluesKaj> too late :)
[16:57] <DarthFrog> I was going to suggest he try the cairo dock.
[17:01] <BluesKaj> or expand the panel height

[17:38] <depesz> hi. i upgraded kubuntu to latest, and got hit with a bug i had earlier, but don't rememebr how i fixed - namely - 2nd display (via hdmi) is fuzzy
[17:38] <depesz> i did google search and it suggests some aticonfig calls, tried it, no help.
[17:38] <depesz> anyone has any clue on what could cause fuzzy display over hdmi on radeon mobile chip?
[17:40] <BluesKaj> depesz, radeon mobile chip? resolution perhaps
[17:43] <depesz> it's set to correct.
[17:43] <depesz> what's worse - when I do "xmag" - it shows that letters are normal, crisp.
[17:43] <depesz> it just displays them incorrectly

[19:57] <TheFakeazneD525> hallo
[19:58] <TheFakeazneD525> does anyone know what wiki soft kde uses for userbase.kde.org
[20:01] <bprompt> TheFakeazneD525:    I can see -> http://cdn.kde.org/css/bootstrap-mediawiki.css
[20:01] <bprompt> in  the [Network] tab of the DOM inspector
[20:02] <TheFakeazneD525> ah, mediawiki
[20:02] <TheFakeazneD525> for some reason I was hoping it would be PMWiki, cuz I'm a troper >_
[20:47] <zenx> anyone know how can I configure sound card output rate?
[20:53] <robotdevil> how I turn popping sound off kmix?
[20:54] <vbgunz> does anyone here know why pulseaudio keeps resetting microphone input to exactly 9% on every reboot? I always have to reset it back up to 28% and it's getting annoying :(
[21:00] <beltorak> hi all; i am trying to patch the ubuntu xscreensaver package, but following the ubuntu packaging guide is not making a lot of sense. first of it says that 'bzr branch' should result in a checkout with all existing ubuntu patches applied, but 'quilt applied' says that nothing has been applied yet.
[21:01] <beltorak> if I do 'quilt push -a', how do I separate my changes from the existing ones?
[21:02] <vbgunz> does anyone here know why pulseaudio keeps resetting microphone input to exactly 9% on every reboot? I always have to reset it back up to 28% and it's getting annoying :(
[21:11] <robotdevil> how I turn popping sound off kmix? (volume slider)
[21:31] <dmatt> hi, KDE 4.13 in Kubuntu 13.10 uses Nepomuk or Baloo?
[21:35] <ObsequiousNewt_> I just updated to Trusty. Previously, I had configured XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose using the instructions in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ComposeKey#Persistent_Configuration however now no such file setup exists. How do I configure XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose across applications?
[21:38] <OlliPe> Hello out there. Is there anyone online to give me support with kubuntu network configuration?
[21:39] <ObsequiousNewt_> Possibly. What difficulties are you having?
[21:40] <OlliPe> IHi. I have a fresh installation of Kubuntu 14.04 and have trouble to browse my network.
[21:41] <ObsequiousNewt_> Are you connected? What error are you receiving?
[21:41] <OlliPe> I have a local Windows server as DNS server but the Dolphin File manager got after some seconds a timeout and doesn't display any device of my network
[21:42] <rdieter> robotdevil: click kmix in systray -> mixer. settings->configure kmix.  uncheck option labeled "Volume Feedback"
[21:43] <OlliPe> At I tried to get the network settings via dhcp by the Windows server and also tried to set the connection data manually
[21:43] <ObsequiousNewt_> Just out of curiosity, are you a native German speaker?
[21:43] <OlliPe> but it seems that always the DNS resolution will be done by local host 127.0.1.1
[21:44] <ObsequiousNewt_> You mean 127.0.0.1?
[21:44] <robotdevil> rdieter: thanks got it already, I wasnt able to get at settings at first, but then I said .. hey maybe I should launch from command line...  :-/
[21:44] <OlliPe> Yes? I hope my english is not too bad
[21:44] <ObsequiousNewt_> Nah, it's okay; I could just tell by the way you put prepositional phrases between the verb and object. Typically we don't do that. But anyway.
[21:45] <OlliPe> no, when I use dig to get information of name resolution the server 127.0.0.1 is displayed
[21:45] <ObsequiousNewt_> I'm afraid I don't know much about what you're trying to work with.
[21:50] <OlliPe> Do you know there are some settings to configure the Dolphin browser to browse the network? Maybe the timeout settings are to short?
[21:51] <ObsequiousNewt_> I never use Dolphin. Have you tried with other browsers?
[21:52] <OlliPe> NO I work since yesterday with kubuntu. Could you recommend one?
[21:53] <ObsequiousNewt_> Most people use Firefox, I believe.
[21:55] <OlliPe> Sorry, I need not a web browser - I need a file manager to get access to the windows shares at the network.
[22:20] <ObsequiousNewt_> I just updated to Trusty. Previously, I had configured XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose using the instructions in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ComposeKey#Persistent_Configuration however now no such file setup exists. How do I configure XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose across applications?
[22:36] <Bundestrojaner> good evening
[22:36] <Bundestrojaner> i've downloaded simutrans from sourceforge (because the version in the packet manager is 2 years old and can't load the newest pak-sets).
[22:36] <Bundestrojaner> ldd tells me, i'm missing 3 libs: libbz2.so.1.0 => not found, libSDL-1.2.so.0 => not found, libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 => not found
[22:36] <Bundestrojaner> what is the best way to get them?
[22:40] <ObsequiousNewt_> You need the right packages, ang on a minute
[22:43] <ObsequiousNewt_> libbz2-1.0, libsdl1.2debian, libsdl-mixer1.2. Same ones the simutrans package depends on.
[22:43] <ObsequiousNewt_> That should work for you.
[22:44] <ObsequiousNewt_> *pings Bundestrojaner just in case he wasn't listening*
[22:44] <Bundestrojaner> ObsequiousNewt_: thx for the ping^^
[22:44] <ObsequiousNewt_> yep np
[22:50] <Bundestrojaner> i needed the i386-versions
[22:50] <Bundestrojaner> thx for help :)
[22:53] <alan_smith> hello guys, is there a way to remove telepathy from kde?
[22:53] <alan_smith> latest 14.04 here
[23:02] <betweenborders> Is anyone else having trouble with their touchpad scrolling too fast on a fresh install of 14.04LTS?
[23:05] <valorie> betweenborders: i am not
[23:06] <valorie> however, if you use krunner: alt+f2, and type `touchpad` you can go directly to the touchpad settings
[23:06] <valorie> there are a million touchpads out there.....
[23:07] <betweenborders> It's an ALPS touchpad, usually installed on Dell laptops.
[23:37] <alan_smith> any ideas why i'm having the following error on muon:?
[23:37] <alan_smith> The "kde-telepathy-contact-list" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade:
[23:37] <alan_smith> 	Recommends: kde-telepathy-contact-list, but it is not installable
[23:40] <ObsequiousNewt_> I'd try refreshing your package list
[23:40] <ObsequiousNewt_> I'd try refreshing your package list
[23:40] <alan_smith> ObsequiousNewt_: using apt-get works though :(
[23:40] <alan_smith> gonna try that
[23:41] <ObsequiousNewt_> Figured it might :P
[23:41] <valorie> alan_smith: what version of kubuntu are you running?
[23:41] <alan_smith> valorie: 14.01
[23:41] <alan_smith> 04
[23:41] <alan_smith> trying to get rid of things I don't use
[23:41] <valorie> ok
[23:41] <TheFakeazneD525> hi valorie
[23:42] <valorie> hi again
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> alan_smith: muo....
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> wat
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> anyways
[23:42] <alan_smith> the telepathy thing is quite intrusive if you ask me... no quitting, no uninstalling, sits on the system tray as a constant remembrance that you don't have control over your system
[23:42] <alan_smith> :)
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> alan_smith: muon is a good graphical way to find packages
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> alt-f2 muon
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> not muon discover btw
[23:42] <TheFakeazneD525> just muon
[23:42] <valorie> alan_smith: you never need to have a widget in the tray you don't want
[23:42] <valorie> right-click and remove the icon
[23:43] <alan_smith> valorie: yeah, but it takes time to uninstall telepathy and all the packages
[23:43] <valorie> I never see telepathy
[23:43] <ObsequiousNewt_> I just updated to Trusty. Previously, I had configured XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose using the instructions in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ComposeKey#Persistent_Configuration however now no such file setup exists. How do I configure XCompose to read from ~/.XCompose across applications?
[23:43] <alan_smith> valorie: i want to actually uninstall the thing, not only hide it
[23:43] <valorie> right, but I'm just saying you don't have to see the icon, whether or not you uninstall it
[23:44] <alan_smith> valorie: ok, that's a quite great feature btw, some cases you want the app just don't want the icon, but in this case i don't want both :)
[23:44] <TheFakeazneD525> alan_smith: apt-get uninstall package_name/package-name/packagename
[23:45] <alan_smith> TheFakeazneD525: yeah, it works that way
[23:45] <TheFakeazneD525> er, are you having problems uninstalling, or just finding the pacakges?
[23:46] <TheFakeazneD525> again, muon package manager is great for packages (redundancy is redundant is redundancy)
[23:46] <alan_smith> I think muon is broken, sometimes it won't allow me to uninstall a package with no justification: The "libtelepathy-logger3" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade: (blank after the ":")
[23:46] <valorie> alan_smith: if it is finding the right package names, apt-cache search telepathy will give you lots of possibilities
[23:47] <valorie> alan_smith: muon package manager, or Discover?
[23:48] <alan_smith> valorie: package manager ("muon" binary)
[23:48] <TheFakeazneD525> alan_smith: try removing /var/lib/apt/lists*
[23:48] <TheFakeazneD525> rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
[23:48] <TheFakeazneD525> then apt-get update
[23:48] <TheFakeazneD525> to reset your package list
[23:48] <TheFakeazneD525> list might be broken
[23:48] <alan_smith> TheFakeazneD525: lemme try :)
[23:48] <Etriaph> Hey folks, anyone know how to get KRunner to recognize me doing "mailto:user@domain.com" as my desire to open kmail composer?
[23:50] <TheFakeazneD525> alan_smith: however, when the apt-get update is running, don
[23:50] <TheFakeazneD525> t stop it
[23:50] <valorie> Etriaph: I think you have to set that up in systemsettings
[23:50] <TheFakeazneD525> if you do, don't run it without removing the lists again
[23:50] <Etriaph> valorie: I tried spoofing it with a web shortcut, but no dice
[23:51] <valorie> there might be a setting in kmail as well....
[23:51] <valorie> it's been years since kmail stopped working for me
[23:51] <valorie> and I've not taken the time since to test it again
[23:52] <Etriaph> What do you use now?
[23:52] <TheFakeazneD525> also... what is Soylent KDE?
[23:55] <Etriaph> valorie: As an email client now, just curious as to what you use now
[23:56] <valorie> gmail on the web
[23:56] <valorie> :(
[23:56] <valorie> so not-free
[23:56] <Etriaph> Ah, OK.
[23:56] <Etriaph> Well, I use Kontact with my gmail account
[23:56] <valorie> TheFakeazneD525: it's made of people!
[23:56] <valorie> Etriaph: I will try again, I have not given up
[23:56] <Etriaph> I'd just rather have KMail separately; Kontact bugs me
[23:57] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: I thought it was FOSS devs
[23:57] <valorie> but with my dad in a nursing home, he is my top priority while he's alive
[23:57] <valorie> google is built on FOSS, for sure
[23:57] <valorie> but it is all those non-free bits which we loooove
[23:58] <TheFakeazneD525> hehe
[23:58] <valorie> I works with my phone (android) ~well
[23:58] <valorie> it, I mean
[23:59] <TheFakeazneD525> ah, speaking of android
[23:59] <TheFakeazneD525> how's the KDE mobile thingy coming along
