| claydoh | however, I recall chat about it on kubuntuforums, don't remember if using the Precise package worked or not | 00:15 |
| claydoh | there are other tools to do the job, such as handbrake | 00:16 |

| Ximo | So... Hello. I downloaded QtCreator (an IDE) from the Kubuntu repositories (aptitude install qtcreator). The problem is that when I run the application, seems to have problems because the window takes as a background the window under the IDE. You can check it here → http://i.imgur.com/aRP1yv9.png I purged and reinstalled the package but I still have the problem. A guy from #qt-creator said that it could be a OpenGL issue, and he red | 06:13 |

| paradoxajd | hello | 10:07 |
| paradoxajd | can someone help me, im new to kubuntu | 10:07 |
| paradoxajd | i've installed desktop theme | 10:07 |
| paradoxajd | but i cannot see how to use it | 10:07 |
| paradoxajd | it isn't shown in my settings | 10:08 |
| paradoxajd | anyone to help me ? | 10:15 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 10:16 |
| paradoxajd | morning | 10:19 |
| paradoxajd | can someone help me with kubuntu themes ? | 10:19 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, you can find the kubuntu themes in kmenu>computer>system settings>workspace appearance>window decorations>desktop theme | 10:23 |
| paradoxajd | i have found one and installed | 10:23 |
| paradoxajd | blueskaj, how to use it now | 10:24 |
| BluesKaj | look in the desktop theme list as I posted above | 10:24 |
| paradoxajd | its not shown there | 10:25 |
| paradoxajd | i can only see default ones | 10:26 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, where did you find the theme ? | 10:26 |
| paradoxajd | there is "get new themes..." button under desktop theme list | 10:26 |
| BluesKaj | it should be listed in the desktop themes list | 10:29 |
| paradoxajd | i even tried reseting pc | 10:29 |
| BluesKaj | did you click the install button in get themes? | 10:30 |
| paradoxajd | yes | 10:30 |
| paradoxajd | now i see "unistall" button near that theme | 10:30 |
| BluesKaj | close system settings and reopen it | 10:31 |
| paradoxajd | done | 10:32 |
| paradoxajd | nothing | 10:32 |
| BluesKaj | some themes appear to install but don't, I've seen that before, try a different one | 10:32 |
| paradoxajd | same again | 10:33 |
| paradoxajd | third one is shown xd | 10:34 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, which kubuntu version? | 10:34 |
| paradoxajd | 14.04 | 10:34 |
| BluesKaj | themes are hit and miss in a lot of cases, some aren't tested and they don't work, others do | 10:36 |
| paradoxajd | eh, okay | 10:36 |
| paradoxajd | i'll probablly stick to default air | 10:36 |
| paradoxajd | just wanted to test those osx like | 10:36 |
| paradoxajd | thanks for help tho | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, yeah , mack OS10 doesn't show up in the list here either | 10:39 |
| paradoxajd | too bad | 10:39 |
| gman | got bored of splash screen, but can't change it. systemsettings->workspace appearance->splash screen doesn't work. I can select a different splash, test it ok, but applying it is ignored on logout or reboot and splash defaults to my old splash. I've emptied /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and aplsh screen is still not applied. Any idea? | 10:40 |
| BluesKaj | not a mac fan so it's no problem, just testing | 10:40 |
| BluesKaj | gman, have you tied applying one from your pics folder? | 10:42 |
| gman | BluesKaj: no. I downloaded themes and modified into new themes some of them. But whichever I choose, it's not applied | 10:43 |
| gman | blueskaj, themes are into /home/user/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/theme | 10:44 |
| paradoxajd | i have one more question | 10:44 |
| paradoxajd | can i make shortcut to mimic runnig command "application launcher menu" from app launcher | 10:45 |
| BluesKaj | gman, does the test theme option work? | 10:47 |
| gman | blueskaj, test works fine on all my installed themes | 10:47 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, do you mean krunner (alt+F2) ? | 10:48 |
| paradoxajd | yes | 10:48 |
| paradoxajd | i want to bind application launcher menu (traditional menu) | 10:48 |
| paradoxajd | with alt+f1 | 10:48 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, sorry I don't know, you could try keyboard mapping , something I seldom try | 10:50 |
| paradoxajd | no problem, i will find the way | 10:51 |
| paradoxajd | thanks anyway | 10:51 |
| BluesKaj | paradoxajd, but right clicking on the desktop>"run command " works for me | 10:52 |
| paradoxajd | via run command works for me to | 10:53 |
| paradoxajd | but i need keyboard shortcut | 10:53 |
| BluesKaj | alt+F2 | 10:54 |
| paradoxajd | i know | 10:54 |
| paradoxajd | but i want menu with out typing it | 10:55 |
| BluesKaj | is the KB defaultr shortcut, then why not use that? | 10:55 |
| BluesKaj | good luck | 10:55 |
| Anpu | kgpg or kleopatra? whats the difference, which is preffered? | 10:56 |
| gman | the fact splash screen theme changes are ignored seems similar to certain desktop icon themes that are also ignored ...has anyone experienced this sort of problem? | 10:57 |
| BluesKaj | gman, yes quite a lot actually, some appear to install, but don't work, even if they are listed | 11:00 |
| BluesKaj | the theme install needs updating | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | for splash and login as well as desktop | 11:02 |
| gman | the thing is I am pretty sure these themes used to work...I mean the default splash was shipped with kubuntu 14.04, I installed a different and have been using a different one, but now, I can't return to default one. What did I do to break that?...absolutely no idea:-/ | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | me neither. gman :\ | 11:03 |
| gman | ok, will try deleting some theme, restart, then reinstall and see if that's applied on logout again | 11:04 |
| === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia | ||
| gman | Blueskaj, I deleted my splash in use and got a black screen on reboot. Installed a new splash theme and applied it, but still got a black screen on logout. Then I reinstalled my old splash and it gotapplied on logout. There must be a file somewhere, telling kde to use that specific theme! a file systemsettings does not manage to update... | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | gman, /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/ | 11:54 |
| gman | this folder only holds themes | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | have you tried adding one ? | 12:00 |
| === Golden_Dawn is now known as Dr_No | ||
| gman | I've just tried that and again, the old splash screen is used, not a different one | 12:15 |
| gman | I had a feeling it could be a permission thing, but doing sudo systemsettings didn't change a thing, and then "sudo chown -R gman:gman /home/gman/.kde" did not help systemsettings at changing ksplash theme | 12:20 |
| gman | google is of no help at finding a similar issue either. | 12:20 |
| gman | and now my eyes keeps on noticing these glitches (including the desktop icons that are partially applied) | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | well I'm on 14.10 and the new splash that I installed is working | 12:27 |
| gman | could the source of the problem be: | 12:45 |
| gman | gman@ThinkPad:~$ kcmshell4 ksplashthememgr | 12:45 |
| gman | Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address. | 12:45 |
| lordievader | gman: ibus is an ime, it has nothing to do with the splash screen. | 12:51 |
| gman | maybe it's through ibus that a config file gets updated with the new chosen splash screen | 12:52 |
| gman | some other part of kde in charge of implementing this update may not be notified...am I versing in illusions? | 12:53 |
| lordievader | gman: No. Ibus has nothing to do with either plymouth or kde's splash screen. | 12:54 |
| gman | ok. any idea where ksplash picks on the right theme name upon logging in? | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | personally this is really not important, a splash screen doesn't affect the OS one iota, hence the lack of attention by the devs | 12:56 |
| gman | yeah, true | 12:57 |
| gman | it's just for the experience | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | I just live with it , there far worse problems to be concerned about | 12:58 |
| lordievader | gman: System Settings -> Workspace Appearance -> Splash Screen. | 12:58 |
| gman | and it's terribly annoying to have this DE scattered accross so many parts/modules/servers, that's almost impossible to do something as simple as changing a splash screen | 12:58 |
| gman | same with desktop icons: any theme I apply, I always get have of my icons stuck on the default theme | 12:58 |
| gman | this looks ugly | 12:58 |
| gman | lordievader, I know of this path, but any theme chosen in there is not applied | 12:59 |
| lordievader | Hmm, last time I customized that it work flawlessly, can't remember if I had the reboot. | 13:01 |
| gman | lordievader, same ignored settings in Worspace appearance->Desktop Themes, the icons part in there is ignored, and I am using the standard kubuntu 1404 | 13:03 |
| gman | This kubuntu install is starting to piss me off seriously. Cause here it's about UI glitches, but the hardware is also not recognised as it should: bluetooth was a nightmare to settup properly when in previous mint version it worked just fine, audio is also very messy, and the list goes on | 13:06 |
| gman | and 14.04 is supposed to be "stable"?! it can't even implement decades old technologies properly | 13:07 |
| gman | It's end of week, I think I'll use my time on installing some more user-centric OS | 13:08 |
| gman | So that I could actually do stuff on my computer instead of wasting my time on setting up stuff | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | gman, have you updated, upgraded and distupgraded since installing ? | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | if not, do so | 13:12 |
| gman | no. I've only applied the updates as they came in. I don't even have installed an external ppa. Since trying out kubuntu 14.04, I've been a very basic user with it. | 13:13 |
| gman | nothing fancy | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | me shrugs, I guess he knew what my answer was going to be so he left | 13:16 |
| === McLive_ is now known as McLive | ||
| lordievader | Some combinations of users and Kubuntu don't work out. | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | I was going to suggest the dist-upgrades includes kde updates/upgrades | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | which seems very relavant to me | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | err relevant | 13:35 |

| mparillo | Do you know the apt command to determine what the optional dependecies are for a package? | 16:08 |
| lordievader | mparillo: apt-cache depens <package>? | 16:09 |
| mparillo | Thank you lordievader. | 16:12 |
| CodePulsar | Why do I get KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate' for almost all KDE apps I try to open ? | 16:33 |
| CodePulsar | replace /usr/bin/kate with /usr/bin/whateverapp | 16:33 |
| BluesKaj | !minimal | 16:39 |
| ubottu | 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 | 16:39 |
| CodePulsar | BluesKaj: is that for me? | 16:42 |
| CodePulsar | The problem I have happened all of a sudden, I've installed the full image not minimal, if I start the app from command line it works just fine | 16:43 |
| CodePulsar | only when I try to open the app from Dolphin when I click a file it fails | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | CodePulsar, no I needed it to copy to another chat that doesn't have an infobot | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | CodePulsar, have you updated kde lately, if so reboot | 16:44 |
| CodePulsar | I've rebooted | 16:45 |
| CodePulsar | same problem | 16:45 |
| CodePulsar | also I can't update to the newest kernel in the update | 16:45 |
| CodePulsar | I get "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided" | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | what's the error message | 16:45 |
| CodePulsar | See above | 16:45 |
| CodePulsar | from the Muon Software Updater | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | oh not asking for a pw ? | 16:46 |
| CodePulsar | after I click "Install updates" | 16:46 |
| CodePulsar | BluesKaj: yeah, the updater is NOT asking me for a password | 16:46 |
| CodePulsar | I'll do the update from cmd line | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | CodePulsar, open a terminal, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:47 |
| CodePulsar | A dist-upgrade is needed | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | yes that too] | 16:47 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: You know you can query ubottu ;) | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, in the ##linux chat? | 17:23 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Sure "/query ubottu" perhaps with a network if you have multiple. | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, ?? | 17:27 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: /query opens a private conversation with a nick. Ubottu supports that too. | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, it was simple enough just ask the bot in here and copy the response to the linux chat | 17:29 |
| CodePulsar | BluesKaj: updating and restarting solved the problem | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | CodePulsar, kinda figured that would do it | 17:36 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | Good evening :) I need some help if someone is about please. I have a machine with Kubuntu installed, which I am trying to upgrade. It looks like the last version was something called Quantal. When I try to upgrade, everything is telling me that the configuration is broken, and I have no idea how to fix it. | 20:22 |
| lordievader | CharlieTheCabbie: That may have to do with Quantal being end of life. | 20:27 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | surely if it had hit EOL, wouldn't the logical thing be to upgrade it??? | 20:28 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | or are you only allowed a certain timeframe after EOL to do that? | 20:29 |
| lordievader | True, however the problem may also lie in the fact that its succesor 13.04 is also EOL. | 20:30 |
| lordievader | I think the easiest is to grab a Trusty iso and go for a reinstall. | 20:30 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | I don't have a burner. | 20:30 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | Basic CD drive and that's it :( | 20:30 |
| lordievader | CharlieTheCabbie: You don't need one, live-usb's are a life saver. | 20:31 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | I recall somewhere that you can download an ISO and mount it to install from rather than burn a physical copy | 20:31 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: you should be able to just burn the .iso to a usb stick and boot from it and install | 20:34 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: you can mount an iso at the console, yes -> sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/your/file.iso mountpointhere | 20:35 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | ok then, I'll give it a go. I just wanted to get it done asap, but with the distro being EOL and it's successor also being EOL, that slightly screws me a little. | 20:35 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | excellent! Will that kick in on boot? | 20:35 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: mounting a filesystem simply gives access to that filesystem/device, is all | 20:36 |
| bprompt | doesn't make it boot or anything else | 20:36 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | firetruck. So I can't mount it, then use it to boot from on the next restart... I was hoping to mount, and install directly from it. | 20:36 |
| bprompt | but you can just burn the .iso to a usb stick, say 2gbs or bigger, since the 14.04 iso is about 1gb in size | 20:36 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: the bootable usb stick does all that | 20:37 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | I'll have to look for instructions on that then. I've only ever burned to a CD in the past, before my writer did the trip to silicon heaven. | 20:38 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | Never burned an ISO to USB at all. Never had to... | 20:39 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: nothing fancy schmanzy really, grab .iso, write the image using... who knows "dd" or something else... and boot, is all | 20:39 |
| bprompt | you can burn it with "dd" easy.... -> sudo dd if=/path/to/your/file.iso of=/dev/yourdevicehere | 20:40 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | gotcha. I thought I'd have to use a burning prog, something like k3b | 20:41 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | That makes it much easier | 20:41 |
| bprompt | say your usb shows up as /dev/sdb then sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdb <--- no numbers, noticd that no sdb1 or sdb0 or sdb2 or whatever partitoin else, just the raw device address | 20:41 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | I'll copy that command over now, and go grab my 4GB from upstairs. I#ll be upgraded before you can recite hamlet in bulgarian. | 20:42 |
| bprompt | if you need to check what the usb device is mapped to, just do a -> sudo fdisk -l | 20:42 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | one more question, quickly, where do I get the ISO from? | 20:42 |
| lordievader | CharlieTheCabbie: Or you can use a tool like unetbootin to write it for you to a usb stick. | 20:43 |
| bprompt | as I said, no numbers, that is, no partition number like sdb1 or sdb2 or such... just the raw device /dev/sdb or whatever... if the device shows up in "fdisk" as say /dev/sdc then --> sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdc | 20:43 |
| bprompt | CharlieTheCabbie: keep in mind that, usb 1.1 sticks take much longer to write than usb 2.0 sticks, fyi | 20:44 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | i think mine is a 2.0 | 20:45 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | anyway, I gotta go for a bit to get this done, or I will be here all night! Be well, and I will see you back here (all being good) in about 2 hours or so. | 20:46 |
| bprompt | but if you're running.... still a working version of 12.10 you could just burn it using the "Startup Disk Creator" or "k3b" | 20:46 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | I'll bear that in mind, but right now as I said, I'm off to get started :) Or I will be here at midnight! | 20:47 |
| CharlieTheCabbie | see you guys later | 20:47 |
