[00:22] <CHR0N0S> hello all
[01:29] <skinux> Are "Ubuntu apps" written using web technologies specific to "Ubuntu" desktop or is it compatible with Kubuntu?
[01:46] <ken> hello
[01:47] <Guest67681> Can icons be changed in kubuntu
[01:47] <Guest67681> can the background colour of windows be changed, and the title bars
[01:56] <Guest67681> hello
[02:09] <Guest67681> hello
[05:12] <hyper_ch> hi there, I have a weird issue: when I attach an external usb 3 drive to a usb 3 port it doesn't show up anymore. It used to work just fine. However when I attach it to a usb 2 port it works
[05:21] <buriedalive> hyper_ch, maybe bug, your os?
[05:21] <hyper_ch> buriedalive: after switching a few times between usb 2 and 3 ports it started working
[05:21] <hyper_ch> thx though
[05:21] <hyper_ch> for making a hot copy of the 512gb ssd I just prefer usb 3 :)
[05:21] <buriedalive> I'm in 12.04 lts, workin' all around
[05:21] <buriedalive> hm
[05:22] <buriedalive> your os precise?
[05:23] <hyper_ch> me?
[05:23] <buriedalive> yea
[05:23] <hyper_ch> 14.04
[05:23] <buriedalive> mm
[05:23] <buriedalive> my is 12.04
[05:23] <hyper_ch> a  little while back a guy in #linux-raid told me he runs in his notebook in raid1 mode with single disk usually... and for makng a hotcopy he expands it to 2 disks and syncs it :) so I do the same now
[05:24] <hyper_ch> on usb 3 the hotcopy of the ssd to usb 3 takes just about 2h (instead of like 20h with usb2)
[05:26] <buriedalive> I dont know this problem yet
[05:26] <hyper_ch> thx anyway
[05:58] <wafflejock> is installing gnome in a Kubuntu 14.04 install going to cause problems?
[05:58] <wafflejock> just want to use a gnome fax frontend for hylafax and curious about newer versions of gnome but not sure if that is going to cause a meltdown
[06:02] <wafflejock> eh just gonna do it in a VM for now
[07:30] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:35] <Naphatul> "ls: cannot open directory .local/share/applications/: Permission denied" is this how the permissions are supposed to be set up or did i mess it up?
[07:35] <Naphatul> because i can't change file associations because it's giving me the same permissions error
[07:36] <Naphatul> drwx------ 2 root    root     4096 авг  4 15:50 applications
[07:36] <lordievader> Naphatul: Have you started a gui application with sudo?
[07:36] <Naphatul> should that be owned by root?
[07:37] <Naphatul> lordievader: not that i remember
[07:37] <valorie> wafflejock: any of the applications or flavor desktops are available to all *buntu users
[07:37] <valorie> kubuntu, ubuntu, gnomebuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu etc.
[07:38] <Naphatul> can someone post how their permissions of ~/.local/share/applications are?
[07:38] <lordievader> Naphatul: Hmm, that could be one of the causes.
[07:39] <lordievader> Naphatul: sudo chown $USER:$USER -R ~/.local/share/applications
[07:41] <Naphatul> lordievader: yeah that fixed it, no idea how it got this way, i only added 1 .desktop file there
[07:52] <Ab3L> valorie: how do i know who are you?
[07:52] <valorie> wearing a gray shirt with the Bilbao blue propeller-looking symbol on it
[07:53] <Ab3L> and you mean Geneva Switerland, right?
[07:55] <Ab3L> ok coming 11-14 minutes. i have black tousers and a T-shirt blue and gray.
[07:56] <kourosh> hi
[07:56] <kourosh> i have some question about Qtractor
[07:56] <lordievader> o/
[07:56] <kourosh> can any body help me?
[07:57] <kourosh> ??
[07:59] <valorie> and yes, Geneva Switzerland
[08:00] <valorie> kourosh: you might get along better in a Qt channel or ?
[08:02] <kourosh> how to connect to at channel
[08:02] <kourosh> what is IRC server and port
[08:02] <kourosh> ?
[08:03] <lordievader> !alis | kourosh
[08:04] <valorie> kourosh: if it is on another server, google will probably find it just as well for you, as for me
[08:04]  * valorie has never heard of Qtractor before now
[08:05] <kourosh> ok thanks
[08:10] <wafflejock> valorie: thanks just went with a VM for now cause I don't want to backup and this is my primary system but appreciate the answer
[08:10] <valorie> cool
[08:10] <valorie> whatever works
[08:11] <wafflejock> gotta say I really like Gnome as well, maybe will try Unity again too... so hard to choose
[08:11] <valorie> shutting down for a bit
[08:25] <CHR0N0S> Nobody talking I see!!!
[08:38] <lordievader> wafflejock: Hihi, Unity... ;)
[08:39] <wafflejock> lordievader: yeah dunno about that but they did fix some of the stuff I complained about in 14.04
[08:40] <wafflejock> lordievader: was liking KDE but decided to start using Thunderbird so feel like I'm pulling more and more out of it now
[08:41] <wafflejock> not a huge deal to me since I tend to customize them all to be fairly similar in the end anyhow, but liking the gnome Activities thingy and having nothing there otherwise, I overcluttered my KDE
[08:43] <lordievader> Gnome has activities?
[09:18] <soee> lordievader: gnome shell does i think
[09:24] <lordievader> soee: Didn't know that. Do they work similar to KDE's activities?
[09:34] <soee> lordievader: no idea, or maybe iv seen it in elementaryos
[09:34] <soee> i m using only kubunut :D
[09:36] <Naphatul> is it possible to make dolphin display mp3 tag cover art?
[09:38] <lordievader> soee: Oh well, it matters not ;)
[11:12] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:27] <dmital> #EngContact
[14:54] <David1965> is there a patch for the kernel for Linux what will fix the problem with system units running the m2n68-la (Narra3) motherboards which causes the hard-drive light to stay on when it should just flicker
[15:12] <David1965> who ever has been asking which version of Kubuntu to install if your machine is old running a Pentium then i386 is the way to go if you have a new system then it is better to install the 64bit version
[15:13] <David1965> where are the distro builders hanging out
[15:14] <David1965> and anyway who ever wrote the kernel didn't realise that some system units have m2n68-la (Narra3) motherboards installed
[15:16] <David1965> and it is the reason I ditched Microsoft Windows XP Pro for Linux
[15:27] <David1965> cryptodan_android you there my friend
[16:11] <MichaelP> is going to be any difference in using project neon install or using kubuntu install adding project neon repo ?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> MichaelP, there' no difference
[16:16] <BluesKaj> you have to install kubuntu then install kde with project neon ppas afterwards
[16:17] <BluesKaj> or projection versions of kde packages
[16:17] <MichaelP> BluesKaj: alright thanks... Ran plasma5 for awhile on 14.10.... Thenwent back to arch... only place they have plasma5 desktop is in aur and some of it don't want to build...
[16:17] <BluesKaj> err project neon versions rather
[16:18] <BluesKaj> aur is for arch, don't fool with that
[16:19] <MichaelP> i know... and suse.. the desktop ends up going black with plasma 5...
[16:20] <BluesKaj> I tried plasma5, but it's too broken for normal use and the look is awful
[16:22] <MichaelP> only problem i have so far is glx gets shaky so have to use egl
[16:23] <MichaelP> now i like the look of plasma 5... alot cleaner
[16:24] <BluesKaj> well, it's a matter of taste as always , but the icons look too much like symbols to me ...guess I'm a bit old fashioned
[16:24] <MichaelP> I think is what kde should do.. is build a version of kde with plasma5 default
[16:26] <MichaelP> Yeah.. but look at when kde4 1st released.. It was broken and look where it is now..
[16:26] <BluesKaj> rumour is that it's being discussed as default in 15.10
[16:26] <BluesKaj> still a lotta work needed
[16:27] <MichaelP> I mean kde needs to build it around kde.. like insted of kde 4.x.x ... build kde 5.0 with plasma 5
[16:29] <BluesKaj> yes, that's what I mean, kf5 isn't kde5 altho a lot of users think so
[16:30] <MichaelP> kf5 in just kde framework 5
[16:32] <BluesKaj> yup
[16:33] <MichaelP> framework 5 is just what.. the gui on top of kde 4 ?
[16:33] <BluesKaj> I'm sticking with the default due to the breakage I had trying plasma5 twice...learned my lesson
[16:34] <MichaelP> What kind of breakage you have
[16:36] <MichaelP> onlything bad i notice is glx gets shaky so use egl... and flash in youtube is a little slow
[16:38] <BluesKaj> krunner wouldn't launch and kate was totally MIA, and dolphin was slow and ponderous
[16:39] <MichaelP> ohh ok...
[16:40] <BluesKaj> on this laptop...din't try it on my 2008 vintage HP dual core 3G Ram desktop
[16:40] <BluesKaj> on 14.10 btw
[16:42] <MichaelP> Reboot into installed system... now and see what have.... I running an old x86 32 but 3.2 ghz 1500 mb ram... 512 mb on video card... I might go back to 14.10... Add the same themes i had in arch... breeze and the breeze icons... making kde 4.13 look like plasma 5
[16:50] <MichaelP> so far seems pretty good
[16:52] <BluesKaj> well, have fun, I'm not trying 5 until it's a bit more stable
[16:52] <soee_> BluesKaj: hehe, it works fine though some features are missing
[16:53] <soee_> but next week plasma 5.1 shuld be released
[16:53] <soee_> so lets have faith
[16:55] <MichaelP> It's not as fast as normar default
[16:56] <BluesKaj> heh 14.10 still runs better than 14.04.1 on the desktop pc...hate to see what happens when 14.04 tries to rub kf5/plasma5 and qt5
[16:57] <BluesKaj> rub=run
[16:57] <MichaelP> If ppa would do a plasma 5 build for 14.04
[16:58] <MichaelP> neon the only build for 14.04
[16:58] <BluesKaj> neon isn't my cuppa tea
[17:13] <merankullh> Hello. I've installed Kubuntu 14 and erased my Windows from my old main hard drive. I forgot to erase my drivers before i installed kubuntu and format my SSD.
[17:14] <merankullh> My gpu is now overheating and i can't find a way to erase old windows supported drivers from my hd 6870
[17:15] <merankullh> I also can't install new drivers because it says that i am lacking something that's required for installation of linux drivers. Can anyone help me at this issue?
[17:15] <BluesKaj> merankullh, if erased windows then your windows drivers are gone too
[17:15] <merankullh> Okay but why is my GPU is overheated? Ever since i opened up the installation menu, my GPU fan started to go crazy
[17:16] <merankullh> It's currently working at around %40 and heat is 60 this is not normal.
[17:19] <MichaelP> preject neon screwed up after dist-upgrade... so i guess go to 14.10
[17:24] <newbie> Hi
[17:24] <MichaelP> hello
[17:27] <BluesKaj> merankullh, which graphics ?
[17:28] <BluesKaj> oops, he's long gone
[17:28] <MichaelP> BluesKaj: you said you on 14.10 right
[17:28] <BluesKaj> MichaelP, yes
[17:29] <MichaelP> what file system you use ?
[17:29] <BluesKaj> ext4
[17:31] <MichaelP> just wondered.. cause i read there alot of imporements in btrfs in the 3:16 kernel
[17:35] <BluesKaj> MichaelP, I don't experiment wih file ssytems since I don't know much about them
[17:36] <MichaelP> ohh ok
[17:38] <MichaelP> unemi don't know if he coming or going
[17:40] <BluesKaj> gotta run some errands...BBL
[17:59] <ovrflw0x> BluesKaj, you alive?
[17:59] <ovrflw0x> what's wrong with the "upstart" script why is it not running at boot? http://sprunge.us/GFOS
[18:10] <MrSmith> Hello, i made a mistake. I tried to install a game with wine... The game starts in a small window, i close the game and the window was very small... i use the setting window to change the size of the display and press ok. now the display ist black and i can't change something. give it a way to reset the display configuration?
[18:24] <lordievader> maggux: Log out and back in.
[18:26] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: Run init-checkconf over it, that will tell you if there are errors with the upstart script.
[22:53] <sithlord48> any one know if its possible to have dolphin run a command automaticly when you view a folder (i.e auto run grive to sync my google drive if i try to view it)
