| valorie | ScottyK: did you shut off baloosearch in the past? | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | if so, add back your ~/home so dolphin can use it again | 00:28 |
| ScottyK | Valorie - I think so. It was running really sluggish. How do I restart it? | 00:40 |
| valorie | I would do alt+f2 and just type baloo | 00:42 |
| valorie | and configure desktop search | 00:42 |
| valorie | you can fine-tune if you don't want it to search some places | 00:42 |
| ScottyK | baloo - command not found | 00:43 |
| valorie | did you remove it entirely? | 00:45 |
| valorie | ah, krunner probably won't find it either | 00:45 |
| valorie | without baloo.... | 00:45 |
| valorie | how about `desktop search`? | 00:47 |
| valorie | bleah, now he's gone, and I'm leaving | 00:47 |
| ScottyK | ok that was weird.. | 00:49 |
| ScottyK | valorie - looks like baloo is installed. how do I restart the service? | 00:50 |
| valorie | how about `desktop search`? | 00:59 |
| valorie | bleah, now he's gone, and I'm leaving -- not quite left yet | 00:59 |
| ScottyK | desktop search in enabled, and /home is not part of the blacklist | 01:01 |
| valorie | http://vhanda.in/blog/2014/04/desktop-search-configuration/ | 01:01 |
| valorie | sorry, now I'm really gone | 01:01 |
| ScottyK | oh yeah, it's KDE 4.13.1 | 01:01 |
| ScottyK | cool, thanks for the link! | 01:01 |
| morenoh149 | how do I remap the caps lock key to escape on kubuntu? | 01:26 |
| naught101 | So, I have a new USB HDD, and I just reformatted the NTFS partition to ext4, and now when I mount it with the device notifier, it mounts it as root, and I can't write to it. | 04:00 |
| naught101 | Any ideas how to fix that? | 04:00 |
| naught101 | it mounts it under /media/naught101/NED_BACKUP | 04:00 |
| valorie | !permissions | 04:02 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 04:02 |
| naught101 | valorie: thanks, but I mean, how to set it to automatically mount RW | 04:03 |
| valorie | sure, you said permissions were hosed, so presumably they need to be reset | 04:08 |
| valorie | !automount | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs | 04:09 |

| RodNICE | hi all | 13:26 |
| RodNICE | Question: if I want to upgrade my Kubuntu distro, and still keep my desktop settings (background, desktop themes, etc.) what should I do? I think I read something saying just don't touch the /home folder? | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | RodNICE, how do you intend to upgrade ? | 13:30 |
| RodNICE | I guess I'll do the command line stuff | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | do-release-upgrade ? if so make sure you update and upgrade your existing install first | 13:31 |
| RodNICE | ah | 13:31 |
| RodNICE | so do a apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | and dist-install as well to be right up to date , then you'll have a smooth OS upgrade | 13:32 |
| === abhinav is now known as abhinavkmr | ||
| BluesKaj | yes to your last question | 13:33 |
| RodNICE | BluesKaj, so what would I need to do to tell it to not nuke my KDE settings? | 13:33 |
| RodNICE | (I'm sorry if these questions are elementary) | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | RodNICE, your settings should remain the same | 13:36 |
| RodNICE | You're the man! | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | and diasble any ppas you might have | 13:37 |
| RodNICE | So if I were installing from a disc, I would simply not select the /home folder and then do a fresh install? Not even sure if my logic is correct here. | 13:37 |
| === jayhunold is now known as jhunold | ||
| RodNICE | ppa... repository thingy correct? can you point me in the right direction as to how/why to do that? | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | RodNICE, I would use manual partitioning and set the /home folder as such in the mountpoint, and install the OS to / . | 13:39 |
| RodNICE | OK, I'll read up on that. Thank you. I don't need to do that yet but just in case I cross that bridge, I want to know generally what to do. Thanks | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | alt+f2 , kdesudo dolphin /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | that's where you'll find any ppas if they exist | 13:42 |
| RodNICE | OK | 13:42 |
| RodNICE | shoot! you're a beast with this! | 13:43 |
| RodNICE | "kdesudo" is like a simpler way of executing command line stuff? | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | RodNICE no it's for guis | 13:46 |
| RodNICE | OK. So like using the command line in a gui? | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | ok, gotta go for a few mins , BBL | 13:47 |
| RodNICE | OK thank you | 13:47 |
| RodNICE | gotta go too | 13:47 |

| georgelappies | how can I get the Qt examples installed from the repos? my default install of 14.04 does not seem to have demos and examples in? | 14:51 |
| tsimpson | georgelappies: for Qt4 you install qt4-demos, for Qt5 you install qtbase5-examples | 15:42 |
| georgelappies | thanks tsimpson | 15:55 |
| georgelappies | is anybody else getting non aliased font rendering in Qt5 apps like QtCreator or self compiled Qt5 apps? | 15:56 |
| basheba | how can I turn off this black screen saver. I set it up correctly in power management under define special behavior under new activity and desktop | 17:15 |
| basheba | I'm on Saucy | 17:16 |
| tsimpson | did you check in System Settings -> ÷×.·÷ | 17:17 |
| tsimpson | oops | 17:17 |
| tsimpson | System Settings -> Display & Monitor? | 17:17 |
| basheba | yes that's where the power mgt setting are | 17:17 |
| basheba | ok hold on | 17:17 |
| basheba | screen locker settings was set to 15 minutes and i just took that out but my screen doesn't lock though. I get my desktop back just by moving the mouse. | 17:19 |
| tsimpson | I meant under the Screen Saver tab, to make sure that it's disabled | 17:20 |
| RodNICE | Trying to dive into Xammp and am want to know what you guys prefer as a text editor. I kinda got used to Notepadd++ myself on Windows. | 18:12 |
| jesse55 | vim | 18:16 |
| lordievader | \o/ vim! | 18:16 |
| RodNICE | OK | 18:16 |
| RodNICE | let me google vim real quick | 18:16 |
| Dragnslcr | If you don't know what vim is, you don't want to use it | 18:17 |
| RodNICE | lol OK | 18:17 |
| Dragnslcr | Kate is good as a text editor, though it isn't really a full IDE | 18:17 |
| RodNICE | looks ugly already | 18:17 |
| lordievader | Hihi. One can learn, can he not. He'd be glad he can ;) | 18:17 |
| jesse55 | why not? Yes, it has a learning curve, but it's worth it | 18:17 |
| RodNICE | yes, I'm all for learning | 18:17 |
| RodNICE | but gotta fight the lazy demons within | 18:18 |
| RodNICE | Notepad++ has multiple tabs. Vim doesn't look like it does. | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | kate works for most situations | 18:18 |
| lordievader | RodNICE: It does, they're called buffers. | 18:19 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, if you're doing plain text editing or simple programming, I'd recommend Kate | 18:19 |
| RodNICE | OK and OK let me look | 18:19 |
| RodNICE | and how did you highlight my name like that, lordievader? | 18:19 |
| lordievader | RodNICE: You just hilighted mine ;) | 18:20 |
| Dragnslcr | RodNICE- it's a setting in your IRC client | 18:20 |
| lordievader | Clients normally hilight the users nick | 18:21 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't use Quassel, so I don't know exactly where it is | 18:21 |
| lordievader | Does /hilight not work to set hilights in Quassel? | 18:21 |
| RodNICE | lol hm. you sure? I ended up highlighting the entire line, lordievader? | 18:21 |
| lordievader | Irssi makes the hilighted nick yellow. Doesn't change anything about the message. | 18:22 |
| Dragnslcr | Konversation usually highlights the entire line | 18:23 |
| RodNICE | I see the entire line highlighted. I guess I have to use the person's nick in the comment? | 18:24 |
| RodNICE | RodNICE is cool | 18:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Yup | 18:24 |
| RodNICE | (just checking) | 18:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Not sure if it works when you use your own nick | 18:25 |
| RodNICE | Dragnslcr: I think I failed | 18:25 |
| === bart is now known as Guest27616 | ||
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, in Konversation, the entire message text is colored | 18:26 |
| RodNICE | OK so I guess KDE Kate does have tabs. Thanks guys! | 18:31 |
| RodNICE | Does Kate have a setting for turning on line numbers and syntax highlighting for a set scripting/programming language? | 18:32 |
| tsimpson | it automatically enables syntax highlighting for file types it knows about, or you can select it manually from Tools -> Mode or Tools -> Highlighting | 18:36 |
| tsimpson | you can use F11/View -> Show Line Numbers for line numbering | 18:36 |
| RodNICE | Hello all, I'm trying to do this Lamp/Xampp thing and am at the library trying to find some PHP books. Cutting to the chase, is a 10-year-old PHP5/MySQL book good at this point? | 18:53 |
| RodNICE | all the newer PHP books are checked out :-( | 18:54 |
| Dragnslcr | I doubt any PHP books are any good | 18:54 |
| Dragnslcr | Most online resources are probably still pretty bad, too | 18:54 |
| Dragnslcr | When I did web development about 5 years ago, most people writing stuff for PHP were idiots | 18:55 |
| RodNICE | wow! | 18:55 |
| RodNICE | really!? | 18:55 |
| RodNICE | so what's a boy to do!? | 18:56 |
| lordievader | RodNICE: Just mess around in the language and figure things out on your own ;) | 18:56 |
| Dragnslcr | If you already know some other language, the reference docs at php.net should be enough | 18:56 |
| RodNICE | *inhales* OK *exhales* | 18:57 |
| RodNICE | the only "language" I got good in was html and devoured that sucker right up... anything else intimidates me. html (and ColdFusion) were like fun. | 18:58 |
| Dragnslcr | If not, you can try to find a decent book from the past couple years | 18:58 |
| lordievader | RodNICE: Do you know bash? That was my route: html -> bash -> php (-> python) | 18:59 |
| RodNICE | bash? If I have to ask, you already know lol | 18:59 |
| RodNICE | I can learn but I don't wanna go down the road that leads to the old creepy house on the hill where I will meet a pathetic demise. | 19:00 |
| RodNICE | Not afraid of learning. Afraid of losing the love of learning. | 19:00 |
| lordievader | RodNICE: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 19:01 |

| RodNICE | I read two paragraphs of it and already feel smarter | 19:06 |
| RodNICE | BRB... updating my distro | 19:06 |
| RodNICE | I have written in my notebook that I should run the following after an upgrade: | 19:14 |
| RodNICE | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:15 |
| RodNICE | Why would I do that? | 19:15 |
| lordievader | That seems like an odd thing to do after an upgrade. | 19:15 |
| genii | Tes. | 19:16 |
| genii | Yes, even | 19:16 |
| RodNICE | yeah | 19:17 |
| RodNICE | not sure where I got that info from | 19:17 |
| RodNICE | I guess I'll cross it out | 19:17 |
| lordievader | Maybe you ment "sudo apt-get autoremove&&sudo apt-get autoclean"? | 19:17 |
| RodNICE | oooooh!!! OK I remember hearing of those. I'll write those down and use them now (prior to updating to the new release) | 19:18 |
