[01:11] hey guys whenever I try to install anything I get this error [01:11] http://pastebin.com/tLmcFw6h [01:11] can anyone please help me figure out what it is [01:16] guys anyone [01:16] ? [01:32] Walzmyn: just control alt f2 - f9 or so [01:33] why would you want a gui way to log into a terminal? [01:44] i've created an icon-only task manager, and added chrome, but if chrome is closed when i click it it opens in gedit(editing opt/google/chrome) what it may be? it works fine any where else [01:44] see, for a second I thought you meant chrome [01:44] but you actually mean the google browser :| [01:45] chrome or chromium? [01:45] I had `chromium-browser` [01:45] you might try that [01:45] chrome [01:46] stable [01:46] yes, the google browser lol google-chrome-stable, sorry ;) [01:47] TeraJL: does this happen with other icons? [01:47] maybe you set .desktop to open with gedit [01:47] btw, use kate ;) [01:47] apt-cache policy doesn't find a package google-chrome-stable [01:47] nop, all of them worked fine till now, and chrome icon on the bar (normal shortcut on the panel, works fine [01:48] valorie: oh right, you need the google chrome ppa [01:48] deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main [01:48] I've also had to list the browser as `firefox &` [01:49] to get it to work [01:49] i've tryed adding an entry on the launcher matchin rules (don't know very well what it does :/ ) but did not help [01:49] so you might try that as well [01:50] valorie: ? [01:50] dunno why [01:51] or `chromium-browser ` as it is listed in Konversation [02:02] i found this, if any one get the same problem: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=118633 , tthanks for the help [03:20] Hey I was wondering if someone could help me. For some reason whenever I load any Linux distro my USB 2.0 ports don't work but my USB 3.0 ports DO work. Any ideas? [03:21] that's odd [03:24] Yeah tell me about it :/ [03:36] doordie [03:37] hi operator [03:37] I need help === mk is now known as Guest69129 === f_ is now known as oui === oui is now known as pasApas [08:59] hi good people of Kubuntu [08:59] any news on when we will get KDE 4.13.1 for Kubuntu 14.04 [09:15] 4.13.2 is out now... [09:16] ((I mean KDE 4.13.2 is out - not for kubuntu) [09:16] yes [09:16] yetr [09:16] yet [09:16] (god its early!) === Haudegen is now known as Guest79072 [09:20] georgelappies: yossarianuk: Kubuntu PPA [09:21] Walex: thanks, what is the exact PPA and steps? [09:23] Ait.. [09:23] georgelappies: good luck! [09:23] Walex: :) [09:23] the HDD -> SDD transfer while I was slept went well [09:23] Don't the point releases get put in the normal stable repo also ? [09:23] Now I'm installing native Kubuntu on the SSD [09:24] yossarianuk: I hope not. Stable means stable. [09:27] the ppa and steps are here: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa [09:27] yossarianuk: they used to be in the stable repos, not sure if 14.04 being an LTS has anything to with it [09:28] anyhow, KDE point releases ussaully fixes much more than what it breaks :) [09:31] Walex: I mean double point releases really - i.e 4.13 -> 4.13.1 , etc [09:32] There is nothing stable sable keeping packages with know bugs in - which are fixed in later versions.... [09:32] I gave it 2GB SWAP and 38GB root filesystem.. I hope it's gonna be ok [09:32] its the same with Nvidia - its insane not having the latest version (ubuntu devs can't even fix the nvidia driver packages...) [09:33] the Windows .vdi I'm putting in shouldn't be bigger then 15 or 20GB [09:33] i.e keeping a version of nvidia driver which has known bugs (and supports less h/w than the newer versions.0- [09:33] just my 2cents... [09:33] yossarianuk: actually keeping packages with known bugs in *is* stable: often people put in bug workaround that break is the bug gets fixed :-) [09:34] the open source model works as a rolling release (imo). [09:34] yossarianuk: however LTS is supposed to get backports of bug fixes, even if no backports of whole new versions, like Debian. [09:35] yossarianuk: most free sw is a rolling release, but some distros like Debian, Ubuntu LTS, RHEL and similar ones try to take that risk out. [09:35] i am with yossarianukon on this one :) better fix known bugs / exploits as soon as possible [09:35] walex: Yes I know.. with things like KDE 4.x its never been a good idea to stay with the older version. [09:35] however [09:35] unless your running 4.13.2 now your missing out - on feature and bug fixes... [09:36] I understand have the core linux system as non rolling ... (i.e kernel, etc) [09:36] if updating does not require replacing half of the system and jumping through hoops of fire I will update as it is available [09:37] Anyway i'd just like to say Kubuntu 14.04 has been truely awesome .. One of the least trouble free systems I have used.. [09:40] yeah, it blows my mind why Canonical did not gow with KDE as the default, anyway, thanks Jonathan and the rest of the awesome team of Kubuntu contributors ;) [09:47] run 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' now running 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox' [09:54] how can I tell if I installed i386 or AMD64 ? [09:54] I went with the default for Kubuntu 14.04 installer when downloading [09:54] jubo2: uname -a [09:54] from the command line === Denza252 is now known as TheFakeazneD525 [09:55] if it has this at the end: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux it is amd64 [09:55] georgelappies: says i686 [09:55] then it is the 32bit version [09:55] i.e. the i386 version [09:55] yeah.. but it's possible to escape the 4GB memory addresing limit [09:56] I belive it is the expansion into 32+4 bits [09:56] so being on 32 bit instead of 64 is no biggie.. plus shouldn't the drivers be more ample with 32-bit ? [09:56] it is yes, need to recompile the kernel with PAE (not sure if the default ubuntu 32 bit already has this flag set ot not though) [09:57] the os can use more than 3.4gb of RAM, but 32 bit apps are still limited [09:58] so with the 32bit os compiled for more than 3.4gb of ram, you can have more 32bit apps running at one time, however a 64bit app will have much, much ram available to use than its 32bit counterpart [09:59] ok.. managed to install the VirtualBox. Now booting it [10:05] will kubuntu 14.10 use KDE 5? [10:07] Now transferring the .iso to drop into the VirtualBox [10:24] georgelappies: Linux has supported over 3.4GB in 32 bit mode for over a decade (PAE) [10:24] its only crappy os's that couldn't ... [10:25] There is now no reason not to choose 64bit (it should be the default now.) [10:25] sure, but not all kernels has the flag set by default [10:25] I agree, 64bit should be the default. only use 32bit if your hardware forces you to [10:26] georgelappies: ubuntu has had PAE by default since about 12.04... [10:26] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAyNzM [10:26] the last 32bit kernel I used was in slackware, I had to manually recompile and install the new kernel with PAE support. That was 5 years ago :) [10:28] aah, ok yossarianuk, thanks for the link clearing that up. PAE is default from 12.04 [10:34] hi, does kubuntu has a spyware as ubuntu? [10:36] jmad: What are you even talking about [10:37] 'Morning all [10:37] God morgon BluesKaj [10:38] Hi jubo2 [10:38] i saw Richard Stallman video and hes talking ubuntu has spyware from amazon [10:39] ahh, coffee ! [10:39] the unity desktop , yes [10:39] Well, spyware is a bit extreme. RMS is... special [10:40] Also afaik that is disabled by default in 14.04 [10:41] I had a taste of unity, and quickly reinstalled kubuntu on 13.10 [10:42] hateball: "spyware" is not extreme. Amazon do their worst to track you. [10:43] hateball: note that things like "webbugs" and other tricks are commonly used and also "spyware". [10:43] haven't bothered trying unity since, not my cuppa tea [10:44] Unity is actually pretty good, quite usable, especially of course in "same stuff on different types of device", but KDE obviously is better for me and many others. [10:44] the spyware thing not withstanding [10:44] As does everyone else, may as well unplug the internet. At any rate it's opt-in now [10:45] hateball: it is not quite as dire as "may as well unplug the internet". One can be careful and simply avoid the worst and still get some usable level of service. [10:46] hateball: it would be a lot better if there were service providers that you could give money to and therefore be considered a customer by them instead of prey. [10:47] k [10:47] Stallman wants to keep FOSS pure. He doesn't like the idea of sneaking commercial links on to a desktop.. declare your enterprise intentions like RHEL [10:48] and I agree with that stand [11:02] BluesKaj: I think that Stallman would disagree with you. Stallman is entirely in favour of commercial work and commercial software and business activities. [11:03] BluesKaj: what he does not like is work, software and business that limit his freedom of choice on how to operate his own equipment. [11:04] BluesKaj: so the issue is not that Amazon or Canonical are commercial businesses: it is that some "spyware" was put in to do stuff behind your back to limit your freedom of choice on how much information you want to give Amazon. [11:07] Walex, think his point was iiirc OSs should declare their commercial/enterprise links and intentions beforehand, that's all [11:08] not so much "declare their commercial/enterprise links and intentions [11:09] not so much "declare their commercial/enterprise links and intentions" but give you the choice on how much the software you use will share your own information with third parties, whether this is commercial or not. [11:10] we have a link to amazon on the unity desktop , blah blah would you like to leave it out?...simple [11:11] BluesKaj: that would have been fine, what Canonical did was to send all your searches to Amazon by default without telling you, naughty naughty. [11:11] BTW note that something close to that but not quite that has been done by the amaroK people. [11:13] anyway it's immaterial to me, since kde seems to be free of such stuff, and I don't use amarok :) [11:13] more broadly speaking most people still can't quite relate to software being under the control of the software author, which is not the case for most physical products, because they are passive rather than active stuff. [11:15] e.g. once someone has built a shovel, and sold you the shovel, the shovel does whatever *you* want. [11:15] the issue with software is that software does whatever the software author's want, and what you think are commands to it are actually requests. [11:17] this is what most people don't get: 'ls /' is not a command to list the root directory, it is a request to the author of 'ls' to make it list the root directory. The author of 'ls' can program 'ls' to do as requested or do anything else she wants. [13:06] hello [13:06] i want to ask u sth [13:06] just ask [13:07] how can i make mine kubuntu look like opensuse 13.1? [13:07] Almano: install a the,e [13:07] *theme* [13:07] as I said nobody knows what you mean, you need to find a screenshot online [13:07] otherwise your question is incomplete [13:08] can u tell me how to do it? i am new to linux;( [13:08] Almano, install opensuse [13:09] this is kubuntu support [13:09] i want to have ubuntu still.:) [13:09] yeah but i want to have kde on ubuntu with opensuse look [13:09] just it [13:09] Almano, forget it [13:09] ddg.gg type "opensuse kde desktop" click images, select an image you like, click it, give an URL here [13:09] simple as that [13:09] why should i porget it? [13:09] Almano: ok [13:10] Almano: go to system-settings [13:10] ok i am there [13:10] http://news.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/desktop4.png like this? what is the specific thing you like? the layout? or the color? [13:10] go to workspace appaerance [13:10] go to desktop theme [13:11] click 'get new theme' [13:11] scroll down [13:11] - and search open suse [13:11] plz wait a bit:) [13:11] sorry *opensuse* [13:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZhcMBJDNZc [13:11] i mean dat look gry:) [13:12] thank you; please, follow what yossarianuk said and see if it helps === Ximo is now known as SouL__ [13:12] ok:) ill see:) [13:19] its still not like it;/ [13:32] why i can not install ncons? it says that it can not find file [13:32] Almano: what is the exact error [13:32] Can not install " oxygen green". Can not find file [13:33] Almano: how are you trying to install it [13:33] system setings -> icons [13:33] and [13:33] download neew look [13:33] I'm not familier with that tool [13:34] so what can i do? [13:34] i want to install some icons suite for dark green themes [13:35] as I don't know the method you are using to install, I can't say [13:35] so what is you method? [13:36] normally uncompress the icons into my icon folder. [13:36] but I'm not fully aware of the current kde theme process [13:36] ok. [13:36] and how to change that blue auro of windows? [13:37] to another color? [13:40] ok ty for everything:) cya:) === jfernandez is now known as Guest18553 [15:09] For the last few days, when I try to use Muon Updater or Muon Package Manager, it tells me I didn't provide proper authorization. This problem just appeared out of nowhere, it's worked fine up until now. [15:10] It's not prompting me for a root password [15:10] novakitty, have you tried apt-get in the konsole? [15:11] yes that works fine [15:11] muon just isnt prompting me for authroization, it's just telling me I didn't provide it [15:12] good then you can update/upgrade and dist-upgrade with no need for muon except aas a reference , but it may be an already registered bug on launchpad [15:13] that's not really the advice I was hoping for...there's times when I like to rely on muon and times I like to use the terminal [15:15] novakitty, then try chmod +x muon in the konsole [15:16] I just wondered if an update broke something or if this has happened to anyone else [15:16] muon executes already [15:16] novakitty, it's new to me [15:16] ok [15:16] let me get you the exact error message [15:19] novakitty, check this out, http://askubuntu.com/questions/103350/how-can-i-provide-proper-authorization-to-the-kde-software-updates-program [15:19] "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided" [15:19] i have to go now ...stuff to do [15:19] this happens when I attempt to install something, remove something, update, etc [15:38] hi all... I just upgraded to Trusty and now the "system settings" won't come up. That is, K Menu -> System Settings does nothing..... It's kind of a problem. Any tips? [15:48] jaafar: Might want to try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge systemsettings && sudo apt-get install systemsettings [15:48] genii: I will give that a try, thanks! [15:51] this is interesting... I can't run "restart" either, from the same menu [15:52] Yes, odd. [15:54] jaafar: Can you get to the system settings now? === lolz is now known as Guest94728 [15:55] genii sadly no [15:55] restart also doesn't work [15:55] both just sort of silently fail [15:55] is the a command line equivalent? [15:55] does "kdesudo systemsettings" in konsole allow you to re-enter your password? [15:55] oh hey, "systemsettings" [15:56] yep that works great! [15:56] pity I can't do it from the K menu :( [15:57] rberg thanks [15:57] is there some config file somewhere that might be messed up? [15:57] maybe due to the version change... [15:58] jaafar: Possibly the ~/.kde/share/config/systemsettingsrc [15:58] that sounds pretty logical, I'll take a look! [16:00] nah, there's nothing in there that looks relevant [16:02] oh hey, right click K menu and pick "edit applications" [16:03] jaafar: To see if it's anything in the previous settings causing it, you can logoff to lightdm (hopefully!) and then ctrl-alt-F1, login and mv .kde .oldkde then sudo sync and logoff, alt-F7 to get back to lightdm and see [16:04] genii: that's a good trick, thanks! [16:20] hm, well I created a fresh user and they have no issues with the system settings menu [16:21] is there a log file where output from things launched might appear? [16:24] the fresh user's settings for the "system settings" item are the same as mine [16:25] think I'll try redoing my .kde. Not much important there === Haudegen is now known as Guest94688 [16:34] All right, genii I've just dumped my old .kde and everything is good. Some stuff is a little not as I like it but that's fixable. Thanks for your help [16:34] jaafar: You're welcome [16:45] Guys, do you know how to use the Nvidia GPU instead of the intel? [17:52] trying to mount my iPhone 5s ... any ideas? [17:52] 14.04 [17:52] get it to work with Amarok ... [17:58] hi! anyone has trouble with locales after upgrade to kde 4.13.2? I can't set language to spanish [17:59] mr-rich: Apparently it needs a newer version of libimobiledevice than what comes standard with Trusty. You may want to look at http://itsfoss.com/mount-iphone-ipad-ios-7-ubuntu-13-10/ [18:05] hello. i have some issues with mine new ubuntu + kde-desktop. Music players freak out;/ [18:06] i can not use multimedia keys on my keybard to change volume [18:06] it change only master volume [18:06] but player volume is the same [18:06] can someone help me? [18:24] genii: I saw that and tried to install, but it wouldn't install ... [18:24] Probably no 14.04 in the reases for it yet [18:30] want to change that awfull kde menu [18:31] mr-rich: Maybe contact the PPa maintainer and request a 14.04 version [18:31] Almano: hmm change to...? [18:32] Almano: as far as the master and player's volume controls, they're usually independent [18:32] genii: found this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/03/ios7-ipad-iphone-ubuntu-trust [18:33] genii: sez I have to reboot ... :( [18:33] ok i solved it. i changed master volume from radeon to motherboard [18:33] :) [18:33] Guys, do you know how to use the Nvidia GPU instead of the intel? [18:34] Almano: I use kde "classic menu" :) [18:35] yeah but its too simple and that bigger one is to complicated [18:35] i wanted it to look like... [18:35] http://www.mrowe.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/menu.png [18:35] this:) [18:36] Almano: I think that's more or less the "classic" menu [18:37] SouL__: Are you using the bumblebee drivers? [18:37] you can do that by just right-clicking on the "K" icon and choose "classic menu" [18:37] mine cclassic menu looks different;/ [18:37] genii: do you know how can I check that? please [18:37] but its better than that :) [18:38] is there any custom menus? [18:38] SouL__: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy bumblebee [18:38] hey guys [18:39] I m trying to install softwares using terminal on my Kubuntu but not able to do so as it gives me this error [18:40] hi all [18:40] jazzycool: "this error" ? [18:40] http://pastebin.com/aYbghhQr [18:40] here is the error [18:40] I would appreciate if you guys could help me out [18:41] jaafar: Have you tried running the suggested command? eg: sudo apt-get -f install [18:42] yes I did but it gives me the same error [18:42] :) [18:43] Sorry, bat tab-complete there [18:43] bad, even [18:43] the Bat-Tabcomplete? [18:43] jazzycool: I'd try to get rid of those 2 packages... see if continues with the error [18:44] can you tell me the exact command as it is dealing with the video packages and I dont want to wreck my system as before [18:44] Almano: you can always just run another window manager other than "kwin", and depending on what window manager you get, it can really fancy like "enlightment" or not, or have docks like xfce [18:46] jazzycool: Did you install some PPA lately or so? [18:46] jazzycool: well, is dealing with 1 package only, doesn't mean will get rid of all video drivers, " sudo apt-get remove arandr xserver-xorg-video-all [18:46] nope all I did was get into additional driver gui winodw and installed a propeitary driver that was recommended and it was solved my graphics problem [18:47] ( because that's the usual cause of these messgaes, then after that mixed repositories between different *buntu versions) [18:47] ok ty:) it was vey helpfull:) [18:48] well thing is I don't have arandr on my computer at all infect when I went into the software center it asked me to install those packages [18:49] ok great it actually solved my problem [18:49] thanks a lot brother [18:50] I appreciate your help you are a genius [18:51] np [18:54] you solved my big problem [18:54] thanks brother === maxx is now known as Guest71780 [21:18] genii: Hey [21:19] genii: http://paste.debian.net/plainh/78d780ee [21:22] SouL__: How about for bbswitch-dkms ?

I been looking for a good kde distro [23:07] CrypticByte: In my opinion, pretty stable [23:07] I find it a little lighter than Unity [23:11] does encrypting your home drive slow your computer down?
