[00:02] <robotdevil> could someone check if they have k9copy in their repos plz
[00:12] <claydoh_> robotdevil: it's not there anymore, not since Precise. Development/maintenance  on it stopped in 2011.
[00:14] <robotdevil> claydoh: geez
[00:14] <robotdevil> thanks
[00:14] <robotdevil> so what is dvd backup solution
[00:14] <robotdevil> vlc crashes here steady
[00:14] <robotdevil> gtk is last resort
[00:15] <claydoh> however, I recall chat about it on kubuntuforums, don't remember if using the Precise package worked or not
[00:16] <claydoh> there are other tools to do the job, such as handbrake

[05:20] <DesignerX> hi, where can i see a system a log of Software fails ? my compouer froze few times & need to see wich software caused it
[05:31] <David1977> DesignerX: in /var/log/ are some logfiles. Maybe you will find something in there
[05:31] <David1977> maybe the "syslog" will bring furher information

[06:11] <valorie> just repeat what you said, for starters, Ximo
[06:13] <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
[06:17] <valorie> !gl
[06:17] <valorie> pfff
[06:17] <valorie> !opengl
[06:17] <valorie> gah
[06:17] <Ximo> hehe
[06:24] <valorie> Ximo: did you see this? https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/13595
[06:24] <valorie> suggesting installing these:
[06:25] <valorie> libgl1-mesa-dev
[06:25] <valorie> libglu1-mesa-dev
[06:25] <valorie> libopenvg1-mesa-dev
[06:25] <valorie> libglw1-mesa-dev
[06:26] <valorie> and do you have an nvidia card?
[06:26] <valorie> if so: askubuntu.com/questions/367621/opengl-4-support-in-kubuntu-13-10-with-nvidia-card
[06:27] <Ximo> valorie: yeah, I have an Nvidia
[06:28] <valorie> hopefully those help
[06:28] <valorie> I've heard good things about bumblebee
[06:28] <valorie> !bumblebee
[06:29] <Ximo> valorie: thanks, I'm going to check what you suggest, let's  see... :)
[06:32] <valorie> display problems are .... ugh
[06:32] <valorie> sympathies
[06:41] <Ximo> valorie: Except libopenvg1-mesa-dev I had everything installed, I'm going to run QtCreator to see if it works, if not, I'll check the url from askubuntu you said
[06:41] <Ximo> still the problem, let's se..
[06:53] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:44] <jubo2> Is there no way to rise all windows of certain program ( shell ) to top of the stack of windows ?

[10:07] <paradoxajd> but i cannot see how to use it
[10:08] <paradoxajd> it isn't shown in my settings
[10:15] <paradoxajd> anyone to help me ?
[10:16] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:19] <paradoxajd> morning
[10:19] <paradoxajd> can someone help me with kubuntu themes ?
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <paradoxajd> blueskaj, how to use it now
[10:24] <BluesKaj> look in the desktop theme list as I posted above
[10:25] <paradoxajd> its not shown there
[10:26] <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
[10:29] <BluesKaj> it should be listed in the desktop themes list
[10:29] <paradoxajd> i even tried reseting pc
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <BluesKaj> close system settings and reopen it
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <paradoxajd> same again
[10:34] <paradoxajd> third one is shown xd
[10:34] <BluesKaj> paradoxajd, which kubuntu version?
[10:34] <paradoxajd> 14.04
[10:36] <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
[10:39] <BluesKaj> paradoxajd, yeah , mack OS10 doesn't show up in the list here either
[10:39] <paradoxajd> too bad
[10:40] <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
[10:42] <BluesKaj> gman, have you tied applying one from your pics folder?
[10:43] <gman> BluesKaj: no. I downloaded themes and modified into new themes some of them. But whichever I choose, it's not applied
[10:44] <gman> blueskaj, themes are into /home/user/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/theme
[10:44] <paradoxajd> i have one more question
[10:45] <paradoxajd> can i make shortcut to mimic runnig command "application launcher menu" from app launcher
[10:47] <BluesKaj> gman, does the test theme option work?
[10:47] <gman> blueskaj, test works fine on all my installed themes
[10:48] <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
[10:50] <BluesKaj> paradoxajd, sorry I don't know, you could try keyboard mapping , something I seldom try
[10:51] <paradoxajd> no problem, i will find the way
[10:51] <paradoxajd> thanks anyway
[10:52] <BluesKaj> paradoxajd, but right clicking on the desktop>"run command " works for me
[10:53] <paradoxajd> via run command works for me to
[10:53] <paradoxajd> but i need keyboard shortcut
[10:54] <BluesKaj> alt+F2
[10:54] <paradoxajd> i know
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <Anpu> kgpg or kleopatra? whats the difference, which is preffered?
[10:57] <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?
[11:00] <BluesKaj> gman, yes quite a lot actually, some appear to install, but don't work, even if they are listed
[11:01] <BluesKaj> the theme install needs updating
[11:02] <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:-/
[11:03] <BluesKaj> me neither. gman :\
[11:04] <gman> ok, will try deleting some theme, restart, then reinstall and see if that's applied on logout again
[11:37] <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...
[11:54] <BluesKaj> gman, /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/
[11:57] <gman> this folder only holds themes
[12:00] <BluesKaj> have you tried adding one ?
[12:15] <gman> I've just tried that and again, the old splash screen is used, not a different one
[12:20] <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.
[12:21] <gman> and now my eyes keeps on noticing these glitches (including the desktop icons that are partially applied)
[12:27] <BluesKaj> well I'm on 14.10 and the new splash that I installed is working
[12:45] <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.
[12:51] <lordievader> gman: ibus is an ime, it has nothing to do with the splash screen.
[12:52] <gman> maybe it's through ibus that a config file gets updated with the new chosen splash screen
[12:53] <gman> some other part of kde in charge of implementing this update may not be notified...am I versing in illusions?
[12:54] <lordievader> gman: No. Ibus has nothing to do with either plymouth or kde's splash screen.
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <gman> yeah, true
[12:57] <gman> it's just for the experience
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <gman> lordievader, I know of this path, but any theme chosen in there is not applied
[13:01] <lordievader> Hmm, last time I customized that it work flawlessly, can't remember if I had the reboot.
[13:03] <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
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <gman> and 14.04 is supposed to be "stable"?! it can't even implement decades old technologies properly
[13:08] <gman> It's end of week, I think I'll use my time on installing some more user-centric OS
[13:09] <gman> So that I could actually do stuff on my computer instead of wasting my time on setting up stuff
[13:11] <BluesKaj> gman, have you updated, upgraded and distupgraded since installing ?
[13:12] <BluesKaj> if not, do so
[13:13] <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.
[13:14] <gman> nothing fancy
[13:16] <BluesKaj> me shrugs, I guess he knew what my answer was going to be so he left
[13:33] <lordievader> Some combinations of users and Kubuntu don't work out.
[13:34] <BluesKaj> I was going to suggest the dist-upgrades includes kde updates/upgrades
[13:34] <BluesKaj> which seems very relavant to me
[13:35] <BluesKaj> err relevant
[14:04] <georgelappies> hi all
[14:11] <BluesKaj> hey georgelappies
[14:36] <phirex> hi
[14:37] <phirex> I am getting this error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' ... Entering rescue mode...
[14:39] <phirex> I strongly believe that if i was able to choose the older kernel it wouldn't happen, but holding down shift doesn't bring up grub menu
[14:40] <dougiel> is there a working vnc server for Kubuntu 14.04?
[15:09] <dodger__> dougiel: krfb should do the trick
[15:11] <dougiel> dodger__, thanks for the input :)
[16:08] <mparillo> Do you know the apt command to determine what the optional dependecies are for a package?
[16:09] <lordievader> mparillo: apt-cache depens <package>?
[16:12] <mparillo> Thank you lordievader.
[16:33] <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
[16:39] <BluesKaj> !minimal
[16:42] <CodePulsar> BluesKaj: is that for me?
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <BluesKaj> CodePulsar, have you updated kde lately, if so reboot
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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]
[17:19] <lordievader> BluesKaj: You know you can query ubottu ;)
[17:23] <BluesKaj> lordievader, in the  ##linux chat?
[17:25] <lordievader> BluesKaj: Sure "/query ubottu" perhaps with a network if you have multiple.
[17:27] <BluesKaj> lordievader, ??
[17:28] <lordievader> BluesKaj: /query opens a private conversation with a nick. Ubottu supports that too.
[17:29] <BluesKaj> lordievader, it was simple enough just ask the bot in here and copy the response to the linux chat
[17:36] <CodePulsar> BluesKaj: updating and restarting solved the problem
[17:36] <BluesKaj> CodePulsar, kinda figured that would do it
[20:22] <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.
[20:27] <lordievader> CharlieTheCabbie: That may have to do with Quantal being end of life.
[20:28] <CharlieTheCabbie> surely if it had hit EOL, wouldn't the logical thing be to upgrade it???
[20:29] <CharlieTheCabbie> or are you only allowed a certain timeframe after EOL to do that?
[20:30] <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 :(
[20:31] <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
[20:34] <bprompt> CharlieTheCabbie:     you should be able to just burn the .iso to a usb stick and boot from it and install
[20:35] <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?
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <bprompt> CharlieTheCabbie:    the bootable usb stick does all that
[20:38] <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.
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <bprompt> you can burn it with "dd"    easy.... ->  sudo dd if=/path/to/your/file.iso    of=/dev/yourdevicehere
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <bprompt> CharlieTheCabbie:    keep in mind that, usb 1.1 sticks take much longer to write than usb 2.0 sticks, fyi
[20:45] <CharlieTheCabbie> i think mine is a 2.0
[20:46] <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"
[20:47] <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
[21:22] <backboxx> Hey.
