[05:47] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:42] <macram> hello. i have a problem
[07:43] <macram> I'm Spanish and so is my keyboard. The point is, when I try to write á, most apps get 'a (first the 'tilde', then the vowel)
[07:43] <macram> Anyone with a link, documentation or something? Thank you
[07:44] <lordievader> macram: You might want to reconfigure your keyboard layout, or checkout the compose key.
[07:45] <macram> lordievader: the point is, it fails in gtk apps. In KDE apps it works fine
[07:46] <lordievader> Hmm, I know next to nothing about gtk applications.
[08:45] <yossarianuk> *offtopic* Just heard Robert Plants new track - its rather good (i.e Led Zeppelin)
[08:51] <lordievader> yossarianuk: We have #kubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter ;)
[08:56] <yossarianuk> sorry - its not every day you hear a new track from a musical legend... I'll keep on topic...
[08:56]  * friti feels that if a room or channel is deadly quiet, even offtopic topics should be allowed and even welcomed
[08:58] <yossarianuk> in some ways it being quiet is good thing - no major bugs...
[08:58] <yossarianuk> actually I have an on topic question....
[08:59] <yossarianuk> I have a crappy samsung netbook - low spec. I'm going to upgrade the OS soon on it - can kubuntu(kde) be made lightweight enough to warrant me trying to install it ?
[08:59] <yossarianuk> it has ubuntu/unity which is good for screen usage - but its deadly slow
[09:00] <yossarianuk> I use kde on all my desktops - but always considered it too 'heavy' for a netbook
[09:00] <friti> Inmy experience, Unity is much slower than KDE
[09:00] <yossarianuk> anyone here have experience of Kubuntu(or any version of kde) on a low powered netbook ?
[09:01] <friti> I have ran it on an EEEPC
[09:01] <yossarianuk> friti: yes but are they no on-par ish on system resource usage
[09:01] <yossarianuk> *not*
[09:02] <lordievader> yossarianuk: I'd checkout LXDE or XFCE for that netbook.
[09:04] <yossarianuk> lordievader: thanks - I did try e17 before (bodhi) and that was usable, seems no point installing that now as v 3. will be out in a few months..
[09:04] <yossarianuk> maybe lxle then...
[10:32] <BluesKaj> 'Morning
[11:35] <nescius> evening
[11:43] <BluesKaj> morning
[11:55] <Avihay> noon
[11:56] <dodger_> good morning
[11:57] <BluesKaj> ok , hey nescius, Avihay, dodger_  :)
[12:25] <ewl> I just installed kubuntu 14.04 yesterday. I like it. everything is running well. But the spell checker in firefox is set to british english, for some reason. The system is set to American English.
[12:31] <BluesKaj> ewl, check FF open menu>preferences>content tab>languages
[12:31] <mcstr> hi! i have installed project neon via the ppas next to kubuntu 14.04 and how can i use the settings for my apps with plasma... what folder do i have to copy?
[12:32] <ewl> Thanks BluesKaj but I already found out how to do it. Right click in a text box and select the language dictionary there. Thanks for the response.
[12:36] <BluesKaj> mcstr, update and upgrade after adding the ppa then dist-upgrade
[12:37] <mcstr> @blues i have done update and upgrade, the ppa is added, plasma already running.... i mean when i chose kde plasma on the login screen i have all the programs i installed in kubuntu 14.04 but they are lacking the settings.. for example kontact has no mail accounts, this quassel irc has no the channels saved, etc.
[12:41] <BluesKaj> ok mcstr sorry I can't help fix those bugs, since I don't run the neon project ppa ...ppas aren't officially supported on this chat, fyi.
[12:41] <mcstr> i dont really think its a bug ... probably i just have to copy one folder dunno which one tho
[12:42] <BluesKaj> check launchpad
[12:46] <BluesKaj> mcstr, suggest you join #project-neon
[13:04] <AleksejsHome> ok, this is too much: I spent 2 days to get my system work after kubuntu destroyed everything when I did do-release-upgrade. Now I got it back (with loosing all my data on all partitions). But after downloading some updates, touchpad stopped working. I've added a file nsmouse.conf in /etc/modprobe and added a line "options psmouse proto=imps", and touchpad is working now although it shows that no touchpad
[13:04] <AleksejsHome> found in settings. But still, touchpad scrolling does not work
[13:05] <AleksejsHome> the question is: is it possible to make kubuntu work without breaking something on each update, or should I switch to something else, like arch?
[13:07] <BluesKaj> AleksejsHome, did you update and upgrade your existing packages before release upgrading?
[13:07] <AleksejsHome> yes, everything was up to date
[13:08] <AleksejsHome> but it's too late, I have fresh install now, as kubuntu 13.10 live usb destroyed all partitions before I even started to do something
[13:08] <AleksejsHome> I got back to 12.10, and almost everything works
[13:08] <AleksejsHome> except touchpad and nvidia vcard
[13:09] <AleksejsHome> touchpad worked perfectly, until I run an update
[13:11] <BluesKaj> well, dunno what went wrong for your setup , but I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 two says ago and the only problem I had was getting the nvidia graphics 331 driver to work, otherwise all went fine
[13:12] <AleksejsHome> well, I suppose, we have different hardware
[13:12] <AleksejsHome> kubuntu 13.10 can't work with my wifi card, so I switched back to 12.10
[13:13] <AleksejsHome> how do I get touchpad work as it should?
[13:14] <BluesKaj> Im actually running 14.10 on this laptop and have fewer problems than I had with 13.10 and 14.04
[13:16] <AleksejsHome> I won't risk trying something else, as 12.10 is the only one which works with my wifi
[13:16] <AleksejsHome> but I really want to get my touchpad back
[13:18] <AleksejsHome> probably, the only solution is to reinstall and disable updates forever
[13:18] <AleksejsHome> it sounds like windows
[13:19] <BluesKaj> have you looked at system settings>input devices>touchpad ?
[13:20] <AleksejsHome> yes, and it says Touchpad not found
[13:20] <AleksejsHome> as I said before
[13:20] <BluesKaj> install synaptiks
[13:21] <AleksejsHome> I did
[13:22] <AleksejsHome> when I launch synaptiks, it says "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave."
[13:23] <AleksejsHome> if I launch sudo synaptiks, it shows "No touchpad found"
[13:23] <BluesKaj> AleksejsHome, try dbus-launch
[13:25] <AleksejsHome> it showed dbus address and pid
[13:27] <BluesKaj> AleksejsHome, dbus-launch synaptiks ?
[13:29] <AleksejsHome> "No touchpad found"
[13:36] <AleksejsHome> ok, reinstalling
[13:39] <BluesKaj> bbl

[14:37] <BluesKaj> looks like it's his last :)
[14:42] <sogatori> hello, has anyone tried to compile the lasted plasma mediacenter on kubuntu 14.04?
[14:44] <lordievader> sogatori: Compiling isn't really the Ubuntu way, don't think there are many in here who have compiled the plasma mediacenter. Perhaps in #kubuntu-devel they have.
[14:45] <sogatori> thanks lordievader
[14:45] <BluesKaj> csogatori , why compile, when it's in the repos?
[14:47] <lordievader> ^ that is the Ubuntu way :)
[14:49] <sogatori> BluesKaj: 1.3 is in the repos? O_o
[14:50] <sogatori> hmm, no, it isn't
[14:54] <BluesKaj> sogatori, ok, i see it's buggy ..now I understand why you think compiling will provide a better version, but that isn't necessarily true.
[15:00] <jjeronimo> valorie: is the phonon-backend-vlc still maintained?
[15:07] <jjeronimo> valorie: I'm the guy with the headset where I can't use the earplugs and the mic at the same time on kubuntu, while on ubuntu it works just fine
[15:08] <jjeronimo> (usb headset)
[16:50] <zenx> anyone has problems with qt creator in kubuntu 14.04? The window doesn't seem to be drawing itself, only when I move it or alike
[16:50] <lordievader> zenx: Ohh, let me install it, if I don't already have it. I'll check it out.
[16:52] <zenx> lordievader: I am using an intel graphics card don't know if that matters but I haven't seen this problem in any other application
[16:54] <lordievader> zenx: Works fine here.
[16:54] <zenx> lordievader: thanks for your time, i am using a virtual machine for now
[16:55] <lordievader> zenx: I'm not ;)

[17:37] <asdf__> Hello?
[17:38] <asdf__> heelloo????
[17:39] <asdf__> FUCK THSIS CHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:39] <Pici> Thats no way to get support...
[17:42] <BluesKaj> it's the generation that expects instant gratification, Pici
[17:44] <Z_God> lordievader: seems your workaround doesn't work here.. there's still a 2nd instance (at least there are not 3 now :)
[17:56] <lordievader> Z_God: You did disable the respawn option of PA?
[17:57] <Z_God> lordievader: not explicitly, but is that necessary?
[17:57] <Z_God> I would expect that to be disable by default, the standard start-up scripts also mention they won't work correctly if that's not disabled
[17:57] <Z_God> disabled*
[17:58] <lordievader> Z_God: No respawn is quite nice, therefore it is enabled by default. Anyhow disabeling it got rid of the two instances (it wouldn't start at all ;))
[17:59] <Z_God> but then I think that's the whole bug
[18:00] <Z_God> For GNOME/KDE/
[18:00] <Z_God> # Xfce sessions in Ubuntu Lucid/10.04, /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
[18:00] <Z_God> # handles this function of automatically starting PulseAudio on login, and for
[18:00] <Z_God> # it to work correctly your user must *not* have "autospawn = no" set in
[18:00] <Z_God> # ~/.pulse/client.conf (or in /etc/pulse/client.conf). By default, autospawn
[18:00] <Z_God> # is enabled. For other sessions, you can simply start PulseAudio with
[18:00] <unopaste> Z_God you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[18:00] <lordievader> Z_God: Make a bug report, I'll confirm it.
[18:04] <Z_God> lordievader: seems it's the other way around, it should not be set according to the script
[18:04] <Z_God> I already made a bugreport, I'll see if I can find another one about the double instances
[18:06] <Z_God> lordievader: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/1296425
[18:08] <lordievader> Heh, I connfirmed it already.
[18:09] <genii> Ouch.
[18:10] <Z_God> lordievader: yep, I saw it :) I marked my report as a dupe
[19:52] <jotik> hello! Where can I find the GPG public key used to sign Kubuntu releases?
[19:53] <lordievader> jotik: On the Ubuntu keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
[19:54] <rosco_y> Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong (attempting to modify my PATH): http://pastie.org/9320725
[19:55] <jotik> lordievader: can you give me a key ID please?
[19:56] <lordievader> rosco_y: Second line in your bashrc should be: PATH=$SCRIPTS:$PATH (without the beginning $)
[19:56] <lordievader> jotik: Apt will tell you if it is missing a key.
[19:57] <jotik> lordievader: I don't have apt installed on my Gentoo system.
[19:57] <rosco_y> lordievader: Thank You!
[19:58] <lordievader> jotik: Err, you know this is Kubuntu support right? Key id is probably 437D05B5.
[19:59] <jotik> lordievader: yes. I downloaded a kubuntu ISO and now want to check its integrity using SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg
[19:59] <jotik> lordievader: but I need to know the correct GPG key ID.
[20:00] <lordievader> Md5sum doesn't cut it? http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download (bottom of the page)
[20:02] <lordievader> jotik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSHA256SUM
[20:03] <jotik> lordievader: I know the procedure, but I still need the public key.
[20:05] <jotik> gpg does not automatically download a public key for me. And IMHO if it would this would probably break the security for checking the integrity of SHA256SUMS anyway.
[20:05] <lordievader> jotik: Ah you need to cdimage key, that's EFE21092
[20:06] <jotik> lordievader: weird: gpg: Signature made Thu Apr 17 17:48:53 2014 EEST using DSA key ID FBB75451
[20:06] <jotik> probably a hacked ttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ mirror then.
[20:06] <jotik> http*
[20:07] <lordievader> I got one from 2012 and an older one from 2004 for 'Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key'.
[20:10] <bnutzer> hey, i am getting 'language support not complete' notifications in 14.04 and LC_LANG is unset as well. any ideas on what could have been skipped?
[20:11] <bnutzer> i installed using the server installation image, then installed kubuntu-desktop
[20:13] <lordievader> bnutzer: That first one is quite normal, simply click the flag and it will prompt you with the package you are missing.
[20:14] <SamwiseGamgee> Where can I download Kubuntu 14.04?
[20:14] <bnutzer> lordievader: i can't authorize it to install the missing packages; my system is configured like that. if it would tell me the package names, i could install them manually.
[20:14] <soee_> SamwiseGamgee: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu
[20:15] <SamwiseGamgee> thanks
[20:16] <lordievader> bnutzer: Pff, I don't really know what package it is precisely.
[20:16] <lordievader> !crosspost | SamwiseGamgee
[20:16] <bnutzer> lordievader: no problem :)
[20:16] <SamwiseGamgee> sorry
[20:17] <bnutzer> lordievader: hey, that was easy. a script called check-language-support seems to report some package names :)
[20:17] <lordievader> bnutzer: Hihi, nice find ;)
[20:30] <bnutzer> brb
[20:34] <bnutzer> ok, no more missing packages. LC_LANG is still unset and i'm not sure if other LC_ stuff is correct either. 'en_DE.UTF-8' looks suspicious. could this be correct? i need german/european dates etc and english language
[20:49] <Guest66785> org.kde.networkmanagement plasmoid in kde does not work. Tried to delete it using plasmapkg but it says it does not exist... Instead of the plasmoid  in the tray I get the error message "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.networkmanagement/contents/ui/main.qml:113:19: Type ConnectionItem unavailable", I think this because of the error in the connectionitem.qml:370: "Cannot assign to nonexistent property onAccepted"?? Any ideas, I even
[20:49] <Guest66785> tried to reinstall kde-full did not help
[21:04] <bnutzer> a-ha, looks like the LC_* values are all wrong and set by kde
[21:06] <bnutzer> brb
[21:24] <SamwiseGamgee> If I just copy the Kubuntu 14.04 one GB ISO onto my USB stick, can I use that to install it onto my PC?
[21:28] <m0rs> Samwise, no. Use this - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[21:28] <m0rs> It will let you create a live CD/DVD on the USB drive, then you can install from there.
[21:28] <m0rs> The main reason just copying it over wont work is it needs to be bootable.
[21:29] <genii> It can be done with dd since the image is a hybrid. But not just by copying the iso file over.
