| Voyage | While using selenium and tomcat with firefox. I am getting HTTP Status 500 - Unable to bind to locking port 7054 within 45000 ms. Read a lot of posts but not solved. THis only happens when I use tomcat and run my kubuntu desktop by VNC. If I dont do it by VNC but manually the normal way. All goes fine | 04:51 |

| Jonathan_R | i need speech to text | 04:53 |
| Jonathan_R | what software do i need | 04:53 |
| Jonathan_R | since i have a disability, staying vertical for long periods of time is not possible. i need speech to text so that the system will type what i say and perform the functions and commands i give it | 05:07 |
| Jonathan_R | most of the software seem to be geared for text to speech. i have installed LiSpeak, jovie, simon and some others | 05:09 |

| ahaaje | KDE 4.13.1 was not available for Kubuntu 14.04. I see 4.13.2 is released today. Is there any chance it will be available? | 09:07 |

| Walex2 | Jonathan_R: that's called speech recognition or dictation software. It will not be easy to find a freeware version of that, but there are probably some commercial packages for GNU/Linux | 10:44 |
| Walex2 | ahaaje: are you talking about the unofficial PPA for KDE? | 10:45 |
| ahaaje | No, I meant as official updates to the KDE 4.13.0 that is in Kubuntu 14:04 | 10:46 |
| yofel | ahaaje: .1 is in trusty-proposed and will be in -updates in a few days | 10:51 |
| ahaaje | yofel:thanks! | 10:52 |
| Jonathan_R | yes Walex2 thats correct, it would be dictation/speech recognition. i have simon,jovie and some others installed | 10:57 |
| Jonathan_R | it seems the simon can do dictation and so forth | 10:58 |
| Jonathan_R | now its just a matter of training it | 10:58 |
| Walex2 | ahaaje: in theory Ubuntu/Kubuntu versions don't do version updates. | 11:07 |
| Walex2 | ahaaje: that's why there are backports. | 11:07 |
| ahaaje | walex2:Not even minor versions like .1 to fix bugs? I seem to recall receiving minor version updates for earlier Kubuntu releases, but perhaps those came from backports | 11:09 |
| Walex2 | ahaaje: there is a difference between backported bug fixes and backported versions... | 11:12 |
| Jonathan_R | apt has distupgrade which allows for what is known as rolling updates/upgrade | 11:13 |
| Walex2 | ahaaje: however sometimes Ubuntu/Kubuntu do version updates, but that's the exception. Since for KDE there is a semi official KDE backports PPA, there may be less reason to backport minor versions. | 11:13 |
| Jonathan_R | they do come out with new releases, like the next one after this, 14.01 will be 14.04 | 11:14 |
| Jonathan_R | 14.01 is a LTS where as 14.04 will not be | 11:14 |
| Jonathan_R | soyou could download the iso every few months, or just do adistupgrade | 11:15 |
| Jonathan_R | ahaaje, does that make sense | 11:16 |
| BluesKaj | 14.01? | 11:17 |
| ahaaje | I wondered about those versions numbers as well - for KDE? | 11:18 |
| Jonathan_R | the kde numbers are like the kernel numbers | 11:19 |
| Jonathan_R | kde 4 is the major release | 11:19 |
| Jonathan_R | the second set of numbers are the feature enhancements and improvements along the way | 11:19 |
| BluesKaj | 14.10 is LTS | 11:19 |
| Jonathan_R | the third set of numbers is for bug fixes | 11:20 |
| Jonathan_R | yes BluesKaj you are right | 11:20 |
| Jonathan_R | ijust had a dislexic moment there | 11:20 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 11:20 |
| Jonathan_R | ahaaje, here is what i mean as far as ubuntu is concerned; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseSchedule | 11:23 |
| ahaaje | Thanks | 11:24 |
| Jonathan_R | yw | 11:26 |
| BluesKaj | Jonathan_R, i was wrong , my apologies 14.04 is LTS ... up too early my brain is still foggy :) | 11:45 |
| Jonathan_R | lol its ok | 11:46 |
| BluesKaj | I should know...tested it for months before official release ...testing 14.10 now | 11:47 |

| n03l | Hey guys, just wondering, is the oxygen-transparent theme not compatible with KDE 4.13? | 14:52 |
| n03l | Is there an alternative | 14:52 |
| genii | I used to run RH in the mid 90s, around release 5.1/5.2 but after I found the packaging much better in Debian-based distros. RPM was a headache | 14:57 |
| Riddell | ** frameworks talk on now http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406/meeting/22262/kde-frameworks-libraries-for-all-qt-users/ | 14:57 |
| genii | Whups, wrong channel :) | 14:58 |
| yoasif | quick question -- do you guys know of any way to configure kwin to show the application switcher like gnome3 (mutter)? I want alt-tab to show application icons, and alt ` exactly the same way that mutter | 15:30 |

| cobracommand | what are the main advantages of kde, besides personal preference? | 17:47 |
| lordievader | It doesn't try to be clever ;) | 17:48 |
| cobracommand | ? | 17:48 |
| cobracommand | how so? | 17:48 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | konqueror, rekonq, konversation, k3b, kdenlive, krunner... | 17:49 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | you get the idea | 17:49 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | but on a serious note | 17:49 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | it is very configurable, has a nice UI, consistent look and feel, modularized, relatively stable, and support for many files, protocols, and other stuff | 17:50 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | plus, KDE has the most complete suite of programs, such as an IDE, task mangler, runner, DE, WM, painting programs, audio players, Office suite, and more | 17:50 |
| genii | Also they are going with Wayland | 17:51 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | plus, all KDE programs share a similar look and feel, and with oxygen-gtk, so do GTK programs | 17:51 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | plus, KDE itself is cross platform | 17:51 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | eg, http://windows.kde.org and http://osx.kde.org | 17:51 |
| cobracommand | Thank you TheFakeazneD525. Still confused about what lordievader wrote. | 17:52 |
| lordievader | cobracommand: I'm of the opinion that Unity and Gnome are trying to be clever. | 17:52 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | lordievader, the naming convention | 17:52 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | er, cobracommand , naming conventions of KDE are very simple | 17:52 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | just shoehorn in a "K" somewhere, | 17:52 |
| lordievader | cobracommand: "Hey your pc supports standby, instead of shutdown you probably mean standby. I'll just hide shutdown" -gnome3 | 17:52 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | :P | 17:53 |
| lordievader | TheFakeazneD525: Naming convention? | 17:53 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | lordievader, I meant to highlight cobracommand | 17:53 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | Hmm, cobracommand to give one drawback of KDE | 17:53 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | it is somewhat heavier than other desktop environments | 17:54 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | But it should run fine on most computers | 17:54 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | I ran it on a very weak computer, and it didn't cause too many problems | 17:54 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | cobracommand, you could try Netrunner-OS standard | 17:56 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | it's based off of Kubuntu, with some upgrades | 17:56 |
| cobracommand | I'm such a newb I thought I was using gnome, I didn't realize the default was unity. I thought unity and gnome were the same thing | 17:57 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | cobracommand, unity is somewhat of a fork of GNOME, due to some issues between the GNOME project and Canonical | 17:57 |
| lordievader | Unity is based on gnome, forgot if it was 2 or 3. | 17:58 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | plus, Unity might switch to Qt too... seeing as Ubuntu touch's version of Unity is Qt based | 17:58 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | And, it will have support for Mir, Canonical's display server | 17:58 |

| SternNL | Hi all, question. My out of the box Kubuntu doesn't display Korean characters. Also do characters sometimes display as a filled rectangle. When I mouse over its gone. Any ideas? | 18:20 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | SternNL, you should try installing the locale | 18:23 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | I'm not on Kubuntu ATM, but it should be in systemsettings under language | 18:23 |
| SternNL | I don't want to switch my interface language to Korean. It's just Korean characters in my browser are shown as rectangles. | 18:24 |
| genii | Is it Firefox? | 18:25 |
| lordievader | SternNL: Does your browser use utf? | 18:25 |
| SternNL | Yes it is | 18:25 |
| SternNL | Japanese is showing fine | 18:26 |
| SternNL | So I guess it's UTF capable | 18:26 |
| SternNL | Checked it is on Unicode | 18:28 |
| genii | SternNL: Do you have a site I could look at where this might be happening? | 18:32 |
| SternNL | ko.wikipedia.org | 18:32 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: you don't have a font capable of displaying Korean in your chosen encoding. | 18:43 |
| SternNL | Does the page display fine at your end? | 18:46 |
| SternNL | I use the default Ubuntu font | 18:46 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: your choice.... | 18:46 |
| SternNL | You have a better option? | 18:48 |
| Rocco_666 | Hello | 18:52 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: I do. | 18:53 |
| SternNL | Would you be so nice to share it with me? | 18:53 |
| Rocco_666 | can i run kubuntu- KDE 4.8 on a pentium4 1.2gb ram and 128 video memory? , Thanks | 18:53 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: there are probably several HOWTOs on how to choose the right encoding and fonts for Hangul on the web, including the Ubuntu/Kubuntu ones probably | 18:54 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: I personally use Arial for web font has it has a very large coverage of Unicode. | 18:54 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KoreanTeam | 18:55 |
| SternNL | Thanks | 18:56 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: there is also a channel on Freenode called #Ubuntu-KO | 18:56 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Microsoft_Fonts | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | Rocco_666, yes, KDE should run fine with those specs | 18:57 |
| Rocco_666 | oh, thanks BluesKaj | 18:57 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: but you may need to tone down a bit some of the more advanced tricks, mostly to save memory. | 18:57 |
| SternNL | Seems like my out of the box system has some font issues. Perhaps corruption. On a fresh gnome-ubuntu install Ubuntu shows ok. | 18:57 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: 'sudo fc-cache' should solve most of them | 18:58 |
| Rocco_666 | like? Walex2 | 18:58 |
| Walex2 | SternNL: reinstalling the fonts packages. | 18:58 |
| Rocco_666 | akonadi, nepomuk? | 18:58 |
| rberg | Rocco_666: I would also turn down the fancy graphic effects | 18:59 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: Strigi first, then nepomuk. Akonadi is not too bad, but it monitors a bit too much. And the fancier graph.ics effects as <rberg> says can take a fair bit of memory | 18:59 |
| Rocco_666 | ok, got it rberg | 18:59 |
| Rocco_666 | thanks folks | 19:00 |
| Rocco_666 | i love KDE | 19:00 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: if you can spare a bit of money buying even a small (60GB, 120GB) flash SSD can speed up things a lot | 19:00 |
| SternNL | Walex2: gonna try that | 19:00 |
| Rocco_666 | on my quadcore machine runs like a dream but i want kde on my old box too xD | 19:00 |
| Rocco_666 | ok, a ssd... | 19:00 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: I have found that the main consumption of memory is from too many web browser tabs. I just realized that I have "accidentally" opened 700 and that is nearly too much for 8GiB of RAM. | 19:01 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: for SSD I like Micron, Toshiba. | 19:02 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: on a 60GB SSD you can easily fit the "/" filetree and a swap space and probably your home directory too. | 19:02 |
| Rocco_666 | let me google some... | 19:02 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: with flash SSD leaving a bit unused improves their durability a lot. | 19:03 |
| Walex2 | flash SSD can really improve the responsiveness of an older system | 19:03 |
| Rocco_666 | amazing, im just a noob... | 19:04 |
| Walex2 | BTW buying a top of the line one is pointless on an older system because they are limited by the speed of a SATA or SATA2 connection. What matters is the much faster random access. | 19:04 |
| Rocco_666 | hmm, i see | 19:05 |
| Walex2 | like a Crucial M500 instead of a Crucial M550 | 19:06 |
| Rocco_666 | maybe an old* version of kde... | 19:06 |
| Rocco_666 | kubuntu 12.04- KDE 4.8 | 19:07 |
| Rocco_666 | ? | 19:07 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: recent versions of KDE4 are pretty good. | 19:07 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: that is still pretty good. | 19:07 |
| Rocco_666 | yeah, im running 4.13 on my laptop | 19:07 |
| Walex2 | Rocco_666: if you use the KDE PPA backports you can install it on 12.04 LTS too. | 19:07 |
| Rocco_666 | NICE | 19:07 |
| Rocco_666 | :) | 19:08 |
| Rocco_666 | gotta go,, thanks for the info folks, o/ | 19:10 |
