PogoHi all. I've been playing with the new Kubuntu on my netbook over the past couple of days, looking for an update from Ubuntu 10.04  NBR. I'm struggling to do some things that seem obvious and necessary, such as replacing the  widgets (I guess) on the opening screen  with things that I would use. I hav figured out how to add and remove things on the favourutes bar, and I can add and delete  the widgets on the screen using a list that I08:16
Pogoo I delete things off that list, and add things that I want?08:16
ophkiltersomeone how laptop pkgs got installed and are conflicting with my plasma 5 upgrade, thing is I'm using a desktop so i don't need backlight packages etc. how can I completely remove all laptop packages and keep them from being installed on future updates ?08:41
ophkilterspecifically powerdevil08:41
ophkilteri've pulled the dpkg list and know how to change install to hold , is there a specific package that will trigger the rest of them to be removed also, should i use deinstall instead of hold08:43

tjingboem_i have no sound in firefox. any ideas?10:27
tjingboem_i have the flashplayer plugin installed10:28
lordievadertjingboem_: Check pavucontrol to see if pulseaudio receives the sound.10:28
tjingboem_i'll try10:28
tjingboem_i installed pavucontrol and it tells me it is unable to connect to PulseAudio10:30
=== Guest44965 is now known as G4MBY
BluesKajtjingboem_, then check if pulseaudio is installed10:31
lordievadertjingboem_: Firefox probably experiences the same error.10:31
lordievadertjingboem_: And make sure pulseaudio is running.10:32
tjingboem_i have pulseaudio installed but i don't know if it is running.10:33
tjingboem_how can i check that?10:33
lordievadertjingboem_: ps aux|grep pulse10:34
tjingboem_menno     5179  0.0  0.0  11748   924 pts/2    S+   12:34   0:00 grep --color=auto pulse10:35
tjingboem_the fist is my name :)10:35
lordievadertjingboem_: If that is all that is returned pulseaudio is not running.10:35
tjingboem_okay10:35
lordievadertjingboem_: From a terminal run: pulseaudio --start10:35
tjingboem_good to know10:35
lordievadertjingboem_: Then open pavucontrol again to check if it can connect.10:36
tjingboem_W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/home/menno/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory10:36
tjingboem_W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/home/menno/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory10:36
lordievadertjingboem_: Is that a blocking warning? In other words does it fail to start?10:38
tjingboem_i guess it doesn't run10:39
tjingboem_i will try with sudo10:39
lordievadertjingboem_: Oeh, no don't do that.10:39
tjingboem_too late :010:39
lordievaderPA is supposed to run in a user-session.10:39
tjingboem_right10:39
lordievaderSystem-wide instances are discouraged.10:39
tjingboem_but i got new info: Cannot access autospawn lock10:39
tjingboem_- whatever that means -10:40
lordievaderAnyhow run the 'ps aux|grep pulse' command again to see if pulse is running somewhere.10:40
BluesKajtjingboem_, system settings>multimedia>audio and video settings>audio hardware setup tab, check theoutput setting10:40

tjingboem_it has changed...10:41
lordievadertjingboem_: Ah it's running :)10:41
tjingboem_AND...i have sound, but right channel only10:41
tjingboem_but progress!10:42
lordievadertjingboem_: Does pavucontrol confirm that there is sound only in one channel?10:42
tjingboem_ah ... i have a window now with pavucontrol10:43
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest74750
=== Guest74750 is now known as Byzza
tjingboem_in the pavucontrol i have to set left to 153% and right to 65% to get a good division between left and right10:45
BluesKajtjingboem_, ???10:49
tjingboem_i found the balance problem10:49
tjingboem_it was the mixer from the soundcard10:49
tjingboem_it just works - thanks lordievader10:49
tjingboem_i didn't know about pavucontrol10:50
lordievadertjingboem_: No problem, though I'm a bit confused about your setup. But hey if it works :)10:50
tjingboem_i'm using KXStudio10:50
tjingboem_but it is kubuntu 14.0410:50
tjingboem_no one was responding me there10:51
tjingboem_thanks again!10:51
tjingboem_normally KXStudio id set up for music work10:52
lordievadertjingboem_: It could explain why pulseaudio wasn't running tough.10:52
tjingboem_uses jack as default10:52
lordievaderJackd doesn't like PA.10:52
tjingboem_in KXStudio one is able to connect the sound of firefox with jack10:53
* lordievader never liked jackd much10:54
tjingboem_for example Ardour need jack10:54
tjingboem_and you can run multiple sound programs at the same time10:55
tjingboem_and link between them as you like10:55
lordievadertjingboem_: I know, I've used it. But I simply don't like it.10:55
tjingboem_does jack not provide for better latency?10:56
tjingboem_better than alsa?10:56
lordievaderI thought jack still goes through ALSA? Anyhow, I don't like it because it's a pita to set up and when you are done going back to PA can be a hell too.10:57
tjingboem_yes it is work :P10:58
tjingboem_i had it all running in 12.0410:59
tjingboem_but i have to so it all over again11:00
tjingboem_do11:00
tjingboem_okay - see you next time - bye!11:01

BluesKajtjingboem_, https://www.kubuntuforums.net/archive/index.php/t-61044.html11:01
tjingboem_thanks BluesKaj, i bookmarked your link and will check it later!11:02
BluesKajyeah, i always thought that alsa and jack worked together11:02
tjingboem_have to go, bye11:03
lordievaderJack doesn't show up in the kernel config, ALSA does ;)11:03
BluesKajI found jack clunky, but that could be my setup configuration11:03

dthackerlordievader, are you around?13:41
lordievaderdthacker: Jup, still here.13:41
dthackerregarding the video issue.   Yesterday I saw an error in kern.log that said my BIOS was improperly identifying my video card.   I was considiering a BIOS update, but the last thing you said was that you thought that the BIOS was not at fault.  Do you have another direction I should look in?13:43
lordievaderdthacker: You put a 9600GT in the machine right? And it was recognized as a 9600gt right?13:45
dthackerlordievader: yes, lspci shows me the card I expect to see.13:46
lordievaderdthacker: From that I concluded the problem is likely not the BIOS.13:47
dthackerlordievader: fair enough13:52

tjingboem_hello again BluesKaj, by the way16:46
BluesKajhi tjingboem_16:46
BluesKajok tjingboem_ that's not exactly Kubuntu so I"m not sure what you may have installed or not installed16:50
lordievadertjingboem_: Isn't there a KXStudio channel on Freenode?16:50
tjingboem_sure there is  - but they are not so fast as you :)16:51
tjingboem_i will be more patient then, thanks16:51
lordievadertjingboem_: But this could very well be one of the differences.16:51

jdolesapt-get upgrade is not cooperating: http://paste.kde.org/pnt1jd2zw (authentication issues)19:07
lordievaderjdoles: From what repo are those packages coming from? (This usually points to packages not being signed)19:09
jdoleslordievader: it wasn't that. I can only hope that it was a non-zero exit statu of apt-get update at some point.19:10
jdoleslordievader: I just did another apt-get update and it did work.19:10
jdoleslordievader: but there were no visible error messages, so still undesirable.19:10
jdoleslordievader: it would probably be better to show in some clear red way that something failed.19:11
BluesKajjdoles, 14.04?19:11
lordievaderIt's not an error. Just a warning.19:11
jdolesBluesKaj: 12.04.highest19:12

jdoleslordievader: it would have been an error if I had ignored the warning.19:12
lordievaderNo. It would still be a warning.19:12
