Kilosi wanted to ask you kde guys for help for a long time now08:31
Kilosi need to make perminent my gamma settings but cant work out how, first thing it boots way to bright so i leave gamma where it is and move the three coulours down one notch but it forgets on reboot08:33
Kilospermanent08:33
Kilosa link is good08:34
inetproyikes! What gamma settings are these even?08:37
Kilosin monitor08:37
inetprowhat does that have to do with the OS?08:37
Kilosunity was different and i had a command to kill something to make it permanent08:38
Kilosunity had to use nvidia to do the setting08:38
Kilosi just found a save system wide block to tick, maybe that works08:39
Kilostake a break ill tell you tomorrow08:39
inetprohmm... never to old to learn08:40
inetprothere's an app called kgamma, never used it, can't promise that it will do the trick08:40
Kiloskde has what one needs in settings display and monitor it just didnt stay permanent, maybe i have it now08:41
inetprothen there is what looks like an interesting write-up at http://coderazzi.net/howto/kubuntu/gamma.html but I haven't the time to read now and test, etc08:42
Kiloswill look ty08:43
inetpromaybe someone else has another solution08:43
Kilosthat looks easy enough08:49
Kilosits the nvidia stuff that interferes so he gave the fix for that too08:49
Kiloson unity it is a nightmare08:50
superflyohi08:53
Kilosalso the nvidia drivers install some hdmi thing and twice now my system has switched from analog to the hdmi thing which i dont even have a cable or amp for08:53

Kilosbushtech  i forgot to ask how your upgrade went16:28
bushtechEish, 2 days on and off to get it going. I think caused by bad dvd burning & then kept crashing till I replaced nouveau with nvidia driver16:31
bushtechNow watching it in trepidation hoping it won't crash again16:31
Kiloseish16:32
bushtechHavent had much time to lift the hood and have a look lol16:32

Kiloskubuntu 16:33
Kilosah i often had probs with rewritables16:33
bushtechwhy?16:33

charlandroid isn't fully open source18:13
smileASOP is ;)18:14
smileAOSP :P18:14
smile;)18:14
charlyes part of it is, but part of what is ususally bundled comes with proprietary google software as well18:14
smileSo you don't use Flash Player? :P18:14
charland many manufacturers add even more on top18:14
charlnope of course not18:15
charlonly html5 video/audio18:15
smile:)18:15
smileI disable Flash most of the time :P18:15
charli can play almost any youtube video now, soundcloud works, grooveshark's html5 version works18:15
smileRdio has no html5 :p18:15
charlvimeo works18:15
superflycharl: so what phone do you have?18:15
charlsuperfly: i don't have a mobile phone18:16
superflycharl: friends with RMS, hey?18:16
smileif you would, would you run Debian on it? ;)18:16
smile:D18:16
smileor isn't that free enough :P18:16
smileRMS isn't a fan of Ubuntu, superfly :p18:16
charlrms has some very interesting views but he is quite extreme indeed18:17
charlcharl@charl-laptop:~$ vrms18:17
charlNo non-free or contrib packages installed on charl-laptop!  rms would be proud.18:17
smilewhat about [girl@love ~]$  ;)18:18
charlgirls are always awesome :)18:18
charland they don't run proprietary software, although i do wish they had a debug mode18:19
smilebash: debug: command not found18:20
smileindeed ;)18:21
smilehttp://pastebin.com/Q7WdXnxw ;)18:22
smileit's failing hover, because LGPL is free ;)18:23
charlyeah indeed18:23
charlwell, according to rms :P18:24
smile:)18:24
charlnot if you ask the openbsd crouwd18:24
charls/crouwd/crowd/18:24
smileeven BSD clause 2 is marked as non free :p18:24
charlstrange indeed18:24
smilelibcpuid: ['BSD-2-Clause']18:24
charlyeah rms would indeed say it isn't free according to his own definition of free18:25
smileI used vrms-arch from AUR18:25
charlah you're on arch18:25
smileyeah :)18:25
charltried manjaro but got some strange issues with many packages18:25
charldidn't look too stable to me18:25
smileI used to be on Ubuntu though18:25
smileI use Manjaro :P18:26
smileSome problems, but everything is fixable, right? :p18:26
charli had some trouble with packages like miredo18:26
smileI did have a very bumpy upgrade to 0.9.9 :P18:26
charlit feels really good to run all the latest software though18:26
smileMy graphics drivers were complaining :p18:26
charlvery much not ubuntu-style18:26
charlah you have nvidia /18:27
smileyeah. ubuntu is so slow updating :p18:27
smileyes, and Intel, charl :)18:27
smileI use intel solely now18:27
charli only use intel hd now18:27
charli'm completely done with nvidia and driver problems18:27
charlused to be a big amd fan but abandoned them when they bought radion18:27
smilewhat about AMD/ATI, they suck even more in open source drivers :p18:28
charls/radion/radeon/18:28
smileI understood ;)18:28
charlati was always a mess18:28
smilemy ati card gave up a few weeks ago :p18:29
smileI ordered a new NVIDIA card, cause there ain't no alternatives :p18:29
smilebut worser than ATI is though to get your hands on :p18:29
smileI think the NVIDIA card was branded by ASUS :p18:30
smileIts a passively cooled graphics card :)18:30
charlah18:31
smileMore cooling than card. :P18:31
charlhahaha18:31
