[07:16] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:14] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[09:47] <Fuzzywhirlpool> yeah, morning.
[09:47] <lordievader> o/
[09:47] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Has the usb hdd eject problem beeb solved?
[09:48] <Fuzzywhirlpool> usb hdd doesn't spin down when ejected via kde safely remove.
[09:49] <lordievader> Doesn't that depend on the hard drive implementation?
[09:49] <lordievader> I've seen harddrives that do and that don't spin down after an unmount.
[09:57] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Gnome has the safely remove function properly spins down and turn off hdd.
[09:58] <Fuzzywhirlpool> On KDE, to achieve the same goal, udisks need to be installed and do the safely removal process by issuing `sudo udisks --detach /dev/sdb`
[09:59] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: Have you made a bug report?
[10:03] <Fuzzywhirlpool> I've reported to KDE bugs, but it's marked as duplicate of bug 270808
[10:04] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Sorry, ubottu. I didn't post the bug on launchpad.
[10:07] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: Have you seen the status? Closed Wontfix. "Closing the thread for lack of activity."
[10:22] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Yeah, I know it won't be fixed. Not many users have interest to spin down the usb hdd to extend the hdd lifetime.
[10:23] <Fuzzywhirlpool> For now, I just use udisks to achieve the safe removal.
[10:25] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: From what I've read that wasn't the reason for closure. The original reported didn't answer questions or performed tests.
[12:44] <BenediktXVII> Hello everybody. Maybe somebody can help me, I am having serious overheating issues with my laptop. It goes up to 80-90° C even when I just have my browser open and kontact. I updated my graphic cards driver, but though it improved my computer still overheats. I need to bring in a job for tomorrow (I am a translator working with OmegaT) but it is impossible to even launch the app, it is way too slow to even consider doing my translation.
[12:53] <function9> BenediktXVII: it sounds like your laptop needs a service
[12:55] <lordievader> BenediktXVII: Have you blown out the fan ports with compressed air?
[12:55] <BenediktXVII> nope, I will try that
[12:55] <BenediktXVII> thanks for the tip, now the challenge will be to dismantle it
[12:56] <BenediktXVII> I am backing up my files right now
[13:00] <function9> +1 on compressed air
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> on sunday I have nowhere to buy that, I was thinking of just dismantling the laptop and brush out the the dust.
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> I have an anti-static brush
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> which I use to clean camera lenses
[13:15] <function9> BenediktXVII: when push comes to shove, try a hair dryer??? Set it for high speed cold air
[13:24] <bwr> hi room
[13:24] <BenediktXVII> I will try that too
[13:38] <BenediktXVII> Is it normal that copying 200 GB of data to an external USB HDD takes over 3 hours ?
[13:39] <Meerkat> BenediktXVII, possibly, probably. Are there many small files?
[13:40] <BenediktXVII> it is my home folder
[13:40] <lordievader> BenediktXVII: If usb2.0, yes.
[13:40] <BenediktXVII> oh, ok
[13:40] <Meerkat> then yes. It will take a long time.
[13:43] <BenediktXVII> And I imagine that the overheating problem doesn't help either
[13:44] <BenediktXVII> I am just running KFolderSync and Quassel and my cpu is at 78°C despite that I elevated my laptop and put Ice Packs underneath
[14:01] <function9> Copying files uses a lot more CPU resource than RAM, hence it would overheat a bit more, but mine doesn't run that high temps(laptop). My laptop averages around 50-55C
[14:03] <BenediktXVII> mine plays between 75 and 82 C, with two icepacks underneath. Without icepacks he goes up to 95 and shuts down.
[14:06] <BenediktXVII> I don't get it, CPU usage 32%
[15:43] <function9> excessive dust build up can do that, I'd pull it apart and give it a good, air compressor
[16:16] <Fuzzywhirlpool> uname -a
[16:24] <punkgeek> i need encodeing my php file in /var/www/html, what should i do? :-?
[16:26] <lordievader> punkgeek: I think you can better ask in ##php, this is a desktop channel.
[16:30] <punkgeek> no, i using kubuntu. i need set password or encoding with LUCKS, but i dont no, is this hurting my script?
[16:36] <lordievader> punkgeek: I don't understand anything of what you are saying. You mention three different things that have nothing to do with one another.
[16:42] <23LAA1HV9> any idea about compatibility between libvisual-projectm and latest amarok? i have it installed but cant find it in amarok :(
[17:04] <meoblast001> hi
[17:04] <meoblast001> i'm using the Disks utility and i'm trying to do the SMART test on an external encrypted hard drive
[17:04] <meoblast001> the option in the menu is disabled (grey) and there is nothing in the documentation explaining why this would be disabled
[17:05] <lordievader> meoblast001: What does smartctl say?
[17:06] <meoblast001> without a -d option: /dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x0bc2:0xa003 (0x419)]
[17:06] <lordievader> Is it connected through usb?
[17:06] <meoblast001> yes
[17:07] <lordievader> For as far as I know smart over usb is not supported.
[17:07] <meoblast001> oh. ouch
[17:07] <meoblast001> accidentally got some cords tangled and the drive was swinging around while on
[17:08] <lordievader> meoblast001: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/smart-over-usb-t2314626.html
[17:11] <meoblast001> oh ouch
[17:11] <meoblast001> thanks lordievader
[17:13] <lordievader> No problem.
[17:38] <em> Is there a way to tile windows in Kubuntu?
[17:49] <lordievader> em: I thought kwin had a tiling mode.
[17:50] <lordievader> em: Hmm, perhaps not: http://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1hir37/anyone_have_a_tiling_window_solution_for_kde/
[18:43] <wz1000> em: there is a tiling script for kwin that works pretty well
[18:46] <wz1000> I'm using it right now
[19:15] <cai> Is there something like NoScript for Konqueror?
[20:46] <em> lordievader: Yeah I think a tiling mode would be kind of neat. Although the expose view is pretty cool.
[21:34] <Monika> I installed Kubuntu in English by accident, I added German through the system settings - but in keyboard layouts only Swiss German is available, not German German ... how do I get it?
[21:48] <bprompt> Monika:     how about in the system settings > locale > hardware > keyboard model?
[21:54] <Monika> 104 keys
[21:56] <Monika> @ bprompt
[22:04] <bprompt> hmm
[22:04] <bprompt> Monika:     can't add a new one from the Layout tab there?      did you check the "configure layouts"  chekmark?   it should give an option to [+Add]
[22:05] <Monika> under add there are only two choices
[22:05] <Monika> none of them is Java
[22:05] <Monika> one is CVS
[22:06] <Monika> one is Resource
[22:06] <Monika> ah sorry
[22:06] <Monika> I'm on the wrong chan
[22:06] <bprompt> heheh
[22:06] <Monika> okay, I checked the configure layouts
[22:07] <Monika> before that there was only US English
[22:07] <Monika> now I can add some other
[22:07] <Monika> but only German, Swiss is in the list
[22:07] <Monika> not German
[22:10] <bprompt> hmmm
[22:12] <Monika> do I need to install more packages?
[22:12] <bprompt> sounds like... just wondering which ones
[22:13] <Monika> I have installed language-pack-kde-de language-pack-de
[22:13] <Monika> kde-l10n-de was already there
[22:14] <bprompt> Monika:    this is for 14.04 right?
[22:14] <Monika> 14.10
[22:14] <Monika> I had the same problem with a 14.04 install
[22:14] <bprompt> I'm on 12.04
[22:14] <Monika> but there after doing all the updates the other Layouts were added
[22:14] <Monika> and I installed 14.10 on another system, there German-German layout is available
[22:15] <Monika> but I never installed that one in English
[22:18] <bprompt> hmm btw I was watching a few mins ago that germany won the 2014 cup =)
[22:18] <Monika> hehe :-)
[22:18] <Monika> I didn't, but I can hear from the noise on the streets that the German team won ^^
[22:18] <Monika> honk honk honk honk honk
[22:22] <bprompt> I don't see anything in the repositories... indicating  any installable packages for that
[22:51] <barbara> hi everyone, I have some problem to upgrade a kubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, it seems like there aren't new LTS available , any suggestion ?
[23:24] <valorie> AlexZion_: it will be available automatically soon

[23:26] <AlexZion_> hi valorie I tried but without result ?
[23:26] <AlexZion_> do you mean using sudo do-release-upgrade -d , right ?
[23:47] <valorie> gah
