[10:10] <Anpu> hi, when will kubuntu update kdeconnect package?
[10:10] <Anpu> 0.7 version brings mouse integration  but 0.5 is in kubuntu
[10:10] <Anpu> so cant test it
[10:11] <Anpu> unless i compile which i wont do
[10:12] <shadeslayer> Anpu: one moment
[10:13] <shadeslayer> Anpu: amd64 or i386?
[10:13] <Anpu> amd64
[10:13] <shadeslayer> Anpu: can you test if https://launchpad.net/~rohangarg/+archive/experimental/+build/6143222/+files/kdeconnect_0.7.1-0ubuntu2%7Eubuntu14.04.1%7Eppa1_amd64.deb works for you
[10:14] <shadeslayer> if it does, I plan to upload the updated package to the backports PPA
[10:14] <shadeslayer> er
[10:14] <shadeslayer> s/PPA/pocket/
[10:15] <Anpu> np, installing right now
[10:15] <calzifer> hi, I installed kubuntu with US language and a German kayboard, that means the locale is mixed with US and DE. In KDE i set the laguage to US and German Metrics etc... all KDE apps are in english, but the GTK applications use german. How can I change all applications to the english language?
[10:15] <calzifer> keyboard*
[10:18] <Anpu> works! thanks shadeslayer. Middle click, right click, scroll and mouse move all work correctly
[10:18] <Anpu> tested with nexus 5
[10:18] <shadeslayer> cheers]
[10:20] <Anpu> and send to my phone feature in dolphin works too. brilliant
[10:20] <shadeslayer> Anpu: awesome
[11:07] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[16:31] <excalibr> Just started using kubuntu..first thing I noticed the greeter screen is painful to look at. How do you make it more prettier?
[16:32] <excalibr> or little easy on the eyes like that on Ubuntu
[17:05] <matiche> just wandering how do you add chat groups to irc any ways
[17:51] <bart__> Hi people
[17:51] <bart__> How can I know what values I should introduce when configuring wpa_supplicant ?
[17:52] <BluesKaj> bart__, so you're sure you need wpa supplicant ?
[17:52] <lordievader> bart__: Why not use the Network Manager?
[17:53] <bart__> lordievader: because it does not work outside KDE (I wanted to switch into fluxbox) and I need something that I will have full control over
[17:54] <bart__> I sometimes do not run graphical environment at all
[17:54] <lordievader> bart__: Read the man page of bart__, it shows you how to use wpa_supplicant ;)
[17:54] <bart__> lordievader: I've already done it
[17:55] <lordievader> bart__: So what's the problem?
[17:55] <bart__> The result is: ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
[17:55] <lordievader> bart__: Is NM using it?
[17:56] <bart__> lordievader: currently it is, but when I was trying to run wpa_supplicant, I'd turned out network manager (service network-manager stop)
[17:57] <BluesKaj> normally NM uses wpa supplicant afaik
[17:58] <bart__> aha, my ifconfig does not show anything like wlan
[17:58] <bart__> just eth0 and eth1
[17:58] <ezra-s> is there a way to have synaptics touchpad getting disabled when mouse is plugged? there is an option in settings but it is not working as touchpad still works when mouse plugged? Also synaptics application has dissapeared for me, can't load it/can't see it in system tray any more
[17:58] <BluesKaj> which wifi chi bart__ ?
[17:58] <ezra-s> kubuntu 14.04 ^^
[17:58] <BluesKaj> chip
[17:59] <bart__> BluesKaj: how can I check that?
[18:00] <lordievader> bart__: lspci
[18:00] <lordievader> Asuming it ain't a usb card.
[18:01] <bart__> FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) [iOHCI-Lynx]
[18:01] <bart__> Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[18:03] <bart__> Any ideas?
[18:03] <lordievader> bart__: I'd define wlan0 (or however it is named) as 'manual' in /etc/network/interfaces
[18:04] <bart__> OK, the current contents of this file is this:
[18:04] <rosco_y> Does anyone know the name of the default pdf reader's executeable, so I can launch it from the command line?
[18:04] <bart__> auto lo
[18:04] <lordievader> !paste | bart__
[18:04] <lordievader> rosco_y: okular
[18:05] <rosco_y> lordievader: ty!
[18:05] <bart__> lordievader: just two lines there ...
[18:06] <BluesKaj> bart__, http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
[18:14] <bart__> BluesKaj: what exactly shoul I type into /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:15] <bart__> lordievader: sorry, I should've asked you about ths
[18:15] <bart__> *this
[18:16] <gino_> atlas
[18:16] <BluesKaj> bart__, NM writes to the interfaces file
[18:17] <bart__> BluesKaj: does it somehow interfere with what I'm doing?
[18:17] <skinux> How do we get desktop launchers (icons)? Right-clicking desktop doesn't provide the option anymore.
[18:17] <lordievader> bart__: iface wlan0 inet manual
[18:18] <lordievader> bart__: Since when does NM do that?!?
[18:18] <BluesKaj> bart__, if you use NM yes, if not then you can
[18:19] <bart__> lordievader: thanks, will see
[18:26] <BluesKaj> ok lordievader he's all yours ...I've never been able to make wpa-supplicant work from the interfaces file etc without going back to NM after many attempts
[18:27] <bart__> But wait. If I install this firmware to which a link was given, then I do not need wpa_supplicant?
[18:29] <BluesKaj> bart__, it should work with NM
[18:29] <bart__> BluesKaj: but it is working with NM
[18:29] <bart__> I've never said opposite
[18:29] <BluesKaj> skinux, try dragging the apps from the kmenu to the desktop
[18:30] <BluesKaj> bart__, NM already uses wpa-supplicant
[18:30] <skinux> It said operation not permitted
[18:30] <lordievader> bart__: Err you don't need to install any driver, you already have it. Simply add the line I gave you to your /etc/network/interfaces and follow the instructions from the man page.
[18:30] <bart__> BluesKaj: I know
[18:30] <bart__> lordievader: OK
[18:32] <bart__> lordievader: Do I have to reboot?
[18:32] <lordievader> bart__: Yes.
[18:32] <bart__> ok
[18:41] <bart__> lordievader: all the same. Rebooted, but the same error
[18:42] <bart__> by the way, I know that NM uses wpa_supplicant, I can even see wpa_cli status
[18:45] <lordievader> bart__: But can you connect? (I get the error too, but he is able to connect)
[18:48] <bart__> yes, but now with NM
[18:49] <lordievader> bart__: I ment with wpa_supplicant ofcourse ;)
[18:50] <bart__> lordievader: if I add this line : iface eth1 inet manual    into /etc/network/interfaces then the network is gone
[18:51] <bart__> lordievader: psk="..." -should I type the password placed on my router here?
[18:51] <lordievader> bart__: Err, if you set that line you should setup the connection yourself. So yes, your network is gone.
[18:51] <bart__> lordievader: how do I set up my connection myself?
[18:52] <bart__> lordievader: shouldn't it be sufficient:
[18:53] <bart__> wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1
[18:53] <bart__> ?
[18:53] <lordievader> bart__: Hmm, you want to use wpa_supplicant but you do not know how to set up a network connection?
[18:53] <bart__> lordievader: I want to use wpa_supplicant, but I do not know how to set up a network connection.
[18:53] <lordievader> bart__: For the wpa command, usually you specify the driver (-Dwext).
[18:54] <bart__> lordievader: and should be sufficient?
[18:54] <lordievader> bart__: Well first change those ethernet connections back to dhcp.
[18:54] <lordievader> bart__: Should be sufficient for setting up the connection. Then it is only a matter of doing dhcp/static ip.
[18:57] <bart__> lordievader: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1
[18:57] <bart__> produces the same error as earlier
[18:58] <lordievader> Erm ain't eth1 an ethernet connection?
[18:58] <bart__> lordievader: ifconfig and I can see only eth0, eth1 and lo
[18:59] <bart__> wpa_cli status gives Selected interface 'eth1
[18:59] <lordievader> bart__: Could you pastebin the output of 'iwconfig'?
[19:00] <bart__> !paste
[19:02] <bart__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7732818/plain/
[19:05] <lordievader> Pff, udev named it eth1. Silly udev.
[19:05] <lordievader> Let me do some tests.
[19:08] <lordievader> bart__: Do you get wireless networks when you run: sudo iw dev eth1 scan|grep SSID
[19:09] <bart__> lordievader: now?
[19:09] <bart__> lordievader: or should I disable NM first?
[19:10] <lordievader> bart__: If eth1 is set to manual NM should not interfere. If it was changed back, then please change eth1 to manual and reboot.
[19:11] <bart__> lordievader: I reboot and I will lose my internet connection
[19:12] <bart__> but OK, the worsest is that I will comment this line
[19:19] <bart__> lordievader: That command gives "command failed: Network is down (-100)"
[19:19] <bart__> lordievader: and seems like I don't have to reboot in order to changes in /etc/network/interfaces to take effect
[19:20] <lordievader> bart__: That's okay.By the by, do you not have an internet connection through eth0?
[19:20] <bart__> lordievader: If I understand you correctly - now I don't have, the ethernet cable is not connected
[19:21] <lordievader> bart__: Would be wise to connect it. Since you are messing with the wifi :)
[19:21] <bart__> will you be here tomorrow?
[19:22] <lordievader> I guess so.
[19:22] <BluesKaj> bart__, usually you just have to do, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:23] <bart__> BluesKaj: in order to changes to take effect?
[19:23] <BluesKaj> bart__, yes
[19:25] <BluesKaj> I used the interfaces file for a long time without NM when I ran an static ethernet connection , but switched back to NM after I got this laptop and started using vpns
[19:25] <bart__> I have one more idea. Remove NM and try then. What d'you think?
[19:26] <lordievader> bart__: With the 'manual' option you effectively disable NM. No need to remove it.
[19:26] <BluesKaj> I think lordievader's advice is correct
[19:28] <BluesKaj> but I din't know I could run without NM with a simple disable command in the interfaces file
[19:29]  * BluesKaj learned something new again today :)
[19:29] <bennypr0fane> Hi, is there way to disable the recent documents/apps tab in kickoff menu?
[19:30] <bart__> Well, perhaps I will be trying tomorrow
[19:30] <bart__> it is too annoying
[19:30] <bart__> thank you for your help
[19:30] <bart__> good evening
[20:15] <calzifer> hi,  I installed kubuntu with US language and DE keyboard, now all KDE applications are in english, but GTK applications are german, how can I change all applications to english?
[20:38] <SouL___> Anyone using KMail?
[20:50] <bprompt> calzifer:       system settings > locale > languages   <--- I think
[20:51] <calzifer> bprompt: there it is set to American English
[20:52] <rberg> SouL___: yes
[20:53] <SouL___> rberg: Do you know how to mark an email as spam to not receive more from that address?
[20:53] <bprompt> calzifer:   what about down below to "system languages"?
[20:54] <calzifer> bprompt: where is this?
[20:57] <bprompt> calzifer:    same spot, at Locale
[20:58] <calzifer> bprompt: if you mean this, according to a forum post, they removed it after 12.04 http://www.pictureshack.us/images/94453_screenshot.png
[20:58] <bprompt> hmm
[20:59] <bprompt> yes
[20:59] <rberg> SouL___: I think you can make a "filter on from" and move it to a spam folder or delete
[20:59] <SouL____> breeze__: Sorry, did you say something? My computer freezed
[21:00] <Roey> hello
[21:00] <Roey> Why can't I see the USB3 external hard drive I just connected?
[21:00] <Roey> I see no mention of it in /var/log/syslog or 'dmesg'
[21:00] <Roey> that, or my SIIG dual-drive bay
[21:00] <Roey> they're both connected via USB3 card
[21:02] <Roey> I can see the USB3 card in the output of lshw:  it's an ASMedia Technology ASM1042 SuperSpeed USB Host Controller
[21:02] <bprompt> calzifer:   ahemm    according to some other postings  ->   sudo apt-get install language-selector-kde;      will add the module
[21:03] <calzifer> bprompt: there is no package with that name in 14.04 but language-selector-common is installed
[21:03] <Roey> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139421
[21:04] <Roey> hmm.
[21:04] <Roey> ASMedia is funky with Linux.
[21:04] <Roey> fuck it.;
[21:05] <Riddell> Roey: nuff swearing
[21:05] <Roey> k.
[21:05]  * Roey sniffs.
[21:05] <Roey> tanj it.
[21:06] <bprompt> calzifer:    how about the package -> kde-l10n-de  <- ?
[21:06] <calzifer> bprompt: this package is installed, but i want the GTK applications to be in english, instead of german
[21:07] <SouL____> rberg: I'll search, thnks
[21:07] <bprompt> hmmm
[21:09] <calzifer> bprompt: it seem's to be a older problem of kubuntu http://forums.netrunner-os.com/showthread.php?tid=3063
[21:14] <bprompt> right
[21:14] <bprompt> calzifer:     tried -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1146560  <-- yet?
[21:17] <calzifer> bprompt: it works if I run bash -c "export LANG=en_EN.UTF8 && kdesudo gparted" but if I change en_EN to en_US it doesn't work anymore
[21:17] <calzifer> and according to "locale" it is set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 might this be the problem?
[21:19] <bprompt> hmm
[21:20] <Roey> hi
[21:20] <bprompt> calzifer:      wondering if the prefix is correct, but likely it's  is _US   dunno
[21:20] <Roey> can anyone recommend a good linux-compatible usb 3.0 pci-express card? thanks
[21:27] <calzifer> bprompt: should i just change that in /etc/environment?
[21:31] <bprompt> calzifer:     ...    you could just like the post says, add it to the .desktop file     or say maybe you could make a bash script launching it, and give that to the .desktop shortcut..
[21:37] <jParkton> can someone tell me the current kernel version ?
[21:37] <jParkton> I need to see if I am current
[21:38] <Chaser> jParkton: I have 3.13.0-30-generic (on 14.04)
[21:38] <jParkton> me too
[21:38] <jParkton> sadly there is a wpa bug that is still in it
