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

(within the installation, so I can't use the built-in options) === kubuntu is now known as Guest15108 [13:26] hi all [13:27] 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] RodNICE, how do you intend to upgrade ? [13:30] I guess I'll do the command line stuff [13:31] do-release-upgrade ? if so make sure you update and upgrade your existing install first [13:31] ah [13:32] so do a apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [13:32] and dist-install as well to be right up to date , then you'll have a smooth OS upgrade === abhinav is now known as abhinavkmr [13:33] yes to your last question [13:33] BluesKaj, so what would I need to do to tell it to not nuke my KDE settings? [13:34] (I'm sorry if these questions are elementary) [13:36] RodNICE, your settings should remain the same [13:36] You're the man! [13:37] and diasble any ppas you might have [13:37] 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. === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [13:38] ppa... repository thingy correct? can you point me in the right direction as to how/why to do that? [13:39] RodNICE, I would use manual partitioning and set the /home folder as such in the mountpoint, and install the OS to / . [13:41] 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] alt+f2 , kdesudo dolphin /etc/apt/sources.list.d [13:42] that's where you'll find any ppas if they exist [13:42] OK [13:43] shoot! you're a beast with this! [13:44] "kdesudo" is like a simpler way of executing command line stuff? [13:46] RodNICE no it's for guis [13:47] OK. So like using the command line in a gui? [13:47] ok, gotta go for a few mins , BBL [13:47] OK thank you [13:47] gotta go too === bob is now known as Guest90585 [14:51] 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] georgelappies: for Qt4 you install qt4-demos, for Qt5 you install qtbase5-examples [15:55] thanks tsimpson [15:56] is anybody else getting non aliased font rendering in Qt5 apps like QtCreator or self compiled Qt5 apps? [17:15] 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] I'm on Saucy [17:17] did you check in System Settings -> ÷×.·÷ [17:17] oops [17:17] System Settings -> Display & Monitor? [17:17] yes that's where the power mgt setting are [17:17] ok hold on [17:19] 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] I meant under the Screen Saver tab, to make sure that it's disabled [18:12] 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] vim [18:16] \o/ vim! [18:16] OK [18:16] let me google vim real quick [18:17] If you don't know what vim is, you don't want to use it [18:17] lol OK [18:17] Kate is good as a text editor, though it isn't really a full IDE [18:17] looks ugly already [18:17] Hihi. One can learn, can he not. He'd be glad he can ;) [18:17] why not? Yes, it has a learning curve, but it's worth it [18:17] yes, I'm all for learning [18:18] but gotta fight the lazy demons within [18:18] Notepad++ has multiple tabs. Vim doesn't look like it does. [18:18] kate works for most situations [18:19] RodNICE: It does, they're called buffers. [18:19] Yeah, if you're doing plain text editing or simple programming, I'd recommend Kate [18:19] OK and OK let me look [18:19] and how did you highlight my name like that, lordievader? [18:20] RodNICE: You just hilighted mine ;) [18:20] RodNICE- it's a setting in your IRC client [18:21] Clients normally hilight the users nick [18:21] I don't use Quassel, so I don't know exactly where it is [18:21] Does /hilight not work to set hilights in Quassel? [18:21] lol hm. you sure? I ended up highlighting the entire line, lordievader? [18:22] Irssi makes the hilighted nick yellow. Doesn't change anything about the message. [18:23] Konversation usually highlights the entire line [18:24] I see the entire line highlighted. I guess I have to use the person's nick in the comment? [18:24] RodNICE is cool [18:24] Yup [18:24] (just checking) [18:25] Not sure if it works when you use your own nick [18:25] Dragnslcr: I think I failed === bart is now known as Guest27616 [18:26] Yeah, in Konversation, the entire message text is colored [18:31] OK so I guess KDE Kate does have tabs. Thanks guys! [18:32] Does Kate have a setting for turning on line numbers and syntax highlighting for a set scripting/programming language? [18:36] 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] you can use F11/View -> Show Line Numbers for line numbering [18:53] 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] all the newer PHP books are checked out :-( [18:54] I doubt any PHP books are any good [18:54] Most online resources are probably still pretty bad, too [18:55] When I did web development about 5 years ago, most people writing stuff for PHP were idiots [18:55] wow! [18:55] really!? [18:56] so what's a boy to do!? [18:56] RodNICE: Just mess around in the language and figure things out on your own ;) [18:56] If you already know some other language, the reference docs at php.net should be enough [18:57] *inhales* OK *exhales* [18:58] 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] If not, you can try to find a decent book from the past couple years [18:59] RodNICE: Do you know bash? That was my route: html -> bash -> php (-> python) [18:59] bash? If I have to ask, you already know lol [19:00] 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] Not afraid of learning. Afraid of losing the love of learning.

[19:05] Pff, no idea. [19:05] I suppose you could mirror the site ;) [19:05] lol [19:05] yes, a.k.a. stop being lazy [19:06] I read two paragraphs of it and already feel smarter [19:06] BRB... updating my distro [19:14] I have written in my notebook that I should run the following after an upgrade: [19:15] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:15] Why would I do that? [19:15] That seems like an odd thing to do after an upgrade. [19:16] Tes. [19:16] Yes, even [19:17] yeah [19:17] not sure where I got that info from [19:17] I guess I'll cross it out [19:17] Maybe you ment "sudo apt-get autoremove&&sudo apt-get autoclean"? [19:18] oooooh!!! OK I remember hearing of those.
