[00:27] <valorie> ScottyK: did you shut off baloosearch in the past?
[00:28] <valorie> if so, add back your ~/home so dolphin can use it again
[00:40] <ScottyK> Valorie - I think so. It was running really sluggish. How do I restart it?
[00:42] <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
[00:43] <ScottyK> baloo - command not found
[00:45] <valorie> did you remove it entirely?
[00:45] <valorie> ah, krunner probably won't find it either
[00:45] <valorie> without baloo....
[00:47] <valorie> how about `desktop search`?
[00:47] <valorie> bleah, now he's gone, and I'm leaving
[00:49] <ScottyK> ok that was weird..
[00:50] <ScottyK> valorie - looks like baloo is installed. how do I restart the service?
[00:59] <valorie> how about `desktop search`?
[00:59] <valorie> bleah, now he's gone, and I'm leaving -- not quite left yet
[01:01] <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!
[01:26] <morenoh149> how do I remap the caps lock key to escape on kubuntu?
[04:00] <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
[04:02] <valorie> !permissions
[04:03] <naught101> valorie: thanks, but I mean, how to set it to automatically mount RW
[04:08] <valorie> sure, you said permissions were hosed, so presumably they need to be reset
[04:09] <valorie> !automount
[08:12] <Walex> amd 'am-utils'
[09:27] <chaudhary> My friend's PC is getting stuck at the splash screen
[09:27] <chaudhary> ps aux | grep kde shows nothing.
[10:53] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[11:06] <the_2nd> where can I file bug reports? (within the installation, so I can't use the built-in options)
[13:26] <RodNICE> hi all
[13:27] <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?
[13:30] <BluesKaj> RodNICE, how do you intend to upgrade ?
[13:30] <RodNICE> I guess I'll do the command line stuff
[13:31] <BluesKaj> do-release-upgrade ?  if so make sure you update and upgrade your existing install first
[13:31] <RodNICE> ah
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <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?
[13:34] <RodNICE> (I'm sorry if these questions are elementary)
[13:36] <BluesKaj> RodNICE, your settings should remain the same
[13:36] <RodNICE> You're the man!
[13:37] <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.
[13:38] <RodNICE> ppa... repository thingy correct? can you point me in the right direction as to how/why to do that?
[13:39] <BluesKaj> RodNICE, I would use manual partitioning and set the /home folder as such in the mountpoint, and install the OS to / .
[13:41] <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
[13:42] <BluesKaj> that's where you'll find any ppas if they exist
[13:42] <RodNICE> OK
[13:43] <RodNICE> shoot! you're a beast with this!
[13:44] <RodNICE> "kdesudo" is like a simpler way of executing command line stuff?
[13:46] <BluesKaj> RodNICE no it's for guis
[13:47] <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
[14:51] <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?
[15:42] <tsimpson> georgelappies: for Qt4 you install qt4-demos, for Qt5 you install qtbase5-examples
[15:55] <georgelappies> thanks tsimpson
[15:56] <georgelappies> is anybody else getting non aliased font rendering in Qt5 apps like QtCreator or self compiled Qt5 apps?
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <basheba> I'm on Saucy
[17:17] <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
[17:19] <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.
[17:20] <tsimpson> I meant under the Screen Saver tab, to make sure that it's disabled
[18:12] <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.
[18:16] <jesse55> vim
[18:16] <lordievader> \o/ vim!
[18:16] <RodNICE> OK
[18:16] <RodNICE> let me google vim real quick
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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?
[18:20] <lordievader> RodNICE: You just hilighted mine ;)
[18:20] <Dragnslcr> RodNICE- it's a setting in your IRC client
[18:21] <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?
[18:22] <lordievader> Irssi makes the hilighted nick yellow. Doesn't change anything about the message.
[18:23] <Dragnslcr> Konversation usually highlights the entire line
[18:24] <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)
[18:25] <Dragnslcr> Not sure if it works when you use your own nick
[18:25] <RodNICE> Dragnslcr: I think I failed
[18:26] <Dragnslcr> Yeah, in Konversation, the entire message text is colored
[18:31] <RodNICE> OK so I guess KDE Kate does have tabs. Thanks guys!
[18:32] <RodNICE> Does Kate have a setting for turning on line numbers and syntax highlighting for a set scripting/programming language?
[18:36] <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
[18:53] <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?
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <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!?
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <RodNICE> *inhales* OK *exhales*
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <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.
[19:01] <lordievader> RodNICE: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[19:01] <bprompt> *cough*
[19:02] <RodNICE> lordievader: sweeeeeet dude!
[19:04] <RodNICE> lordievader: is that in a neat little file that I can download for offline reading?
[19:05] <lordievader> Pff, no idea.
[19:05] <lordievader> I suppose you could mirror the site ;)
[19:05] <RodNICE> lol
[19:05] <RodNICE> yes, a.k.a. stop being lazy
[19:06] <RodNICE> I read two paragraphs of it and already feel smarter
[19:06] <RodNICE> BRB... updating my distro
[19:14] <RodNICE> I have written in my notebook that I should run the following after an upgrade:
[19:15] <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.
[19:16] <genii> Tes.
[19:16] <genii> Yes, even
[19:17] <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"?
[19:18] <RodNICE> oooooh!!! OK I remember hearing of those. I'll write those down and use them now (prior to updating to the new release)
