[07:08] <bipul> !info jenkins
[07:40] <aggrey> ishmael, is solr server off, b'se i am getting errors concerned with it
[07:48] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:24] <Moscherkobold> good morning everyone
[09:25] <Moscherkobold> any suggestions how to sync some folders between my livingroom-pc (win7) and my office pc (kubuntu 14.04)
[09:28] <hateball> Moscherkobold: rsync + robocopy perhaps
[09:35] <Moscherkobold> hateball: how can I acess the files on the windows machine with rsync?
[09:36] <hateball> Moscherkobold: How are you sharing files now?
[09:36] <hateball> Moscherkobold: You'd use rsync on linux, and robocopy on Windows. Or just one of them.
[09:37] <Moscherkobold> they are freed one the windows machine and i can acess them in dolphin with the samba thing
[09:46] <lordievader> Can't rsync do samba?
[09:46] <Moscherkobold> hateball: they are shared one the windows machine and i can acess them in dolphin with the samba thing
[09:47] <Moscherkobold> lordievader: I dont know, I think it is possible but i dont know how at the moment
[09:47] <hateball> I'd mount the SMB share on the linux machine, and treat it like a local folder
[09:47] <lordievader> Moscherkobold: http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html
[09:49] <Moscherkobold> hateball: lordievader thank you I will try this later this day
[12:48] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:56] <Riddell> ** anyone on trusty? we need testers for kde-workspace 4.11.11 ping me in #kubuntu-devel if you can help

[15:15] <barby> i need to share a disk with rdesktop
[15:15] <barby> does anyone can help me?
[16:51] <Dat> hello, I was using the latest and greated kubuntu and did a recent update a few days ago and it seems I have lost my desktop. Anyone run into this lately?
[18:04] <Marcelo> Hello everybody
[18:04] <Guest31731> I need to sort out a little problem. Anyone maybe can help me?
[18:06] <ikonia> if you just explain the problem, people will help if they want to and can
[18:06] <Guest31731> I am a newie and trying to make DOS boot a secondary HDD so later on I can remove it an put it in another PC to use it as primary. If you want me to explain why then it is going to be a long story...
[18:06] <Guest31731> thanks ikonia
[18:06] <ikonia> ok, so what do you mean by dos boot a secondary hdd ?
[18:06] <ikonia> do you mean the grub boot loader ?
[18:07] <Guest31731> DOS or WinXP Operative systems
[18:07] <ikonia> Guest31731: so that's really an ubuntu issue
[18:08] <Guest31731> ??
[18:08] <ikonia> Guest31731: configuring windows XP isn't really something that's part of ubuntu
[18:08] <Guest31731> I know
[18:08] <ikonia> ok ? so you're in #kubuntu
[18:08] <Guest31731> I don't want help to configure WInXP
[18:08] <ikonia> ok, what do you actually want
[18:08] <Guest31731> I am running kubuntu on this pc
[18:09] <Guest31731> OK, it is going to be a little long jajja
[18:09] <ikonia> doesn't need to be long
[18:09] <Guest31731> I have 2 PCs, almost the same
[18:09] <ikonia> "what do you want to happen"
[18:09] <ikonia> what is the answer to that question
[18:09] <Guest31731> One is this one running ubuntu
[18:09] <Guest31731> the other one needs to run WinXP as there is a soft I can only use in WinXP and I don't have the hardware requirements to run a virtual PC
[18:09] <Guest31731> But....
[18:10] <ikonia> "what do you want to happen"
[18:10] <ikonia> just answer that question
[18:10] <Guest31731> both PCs are old so there is no USB boot option
[18:10] <Guest31731> the other PC at the moment cannot even boot from a CD or DVD
[18:10] <ikonia> ok, I've lost interest
[18:11] <Guest31731> Ok thanks anyway
[18:11] <Guest31731> anyone else who can help please?
[18:12] <lordievader> Guest31731: Try to explain clearly what you are trying to do.
[18:12] <Guest31731> sorry I was concentrated in my explanation and I missed your questions
[18:12] <Guest31731> I NEED to make the other PC work with WINXP and I only have this PC with kubuntu to help me doing that
[18:13] <lordievader> Guest31731: Burn an iso.
[18:13] <Guest31731> and then what? I can't use USB or DVD on the other PC
[18:14] <lordievader> Ah, is it capable of reading a CD?
[18:14] <Guest31731> no
[18:14] <Guest31731> only using an external CD via USB but that does work only once in WINXP or Kubuntu, etc
[18:14] <lordievader> Guest31731: And you want to install Windows on it?
[18:15] <Guest31731> I need to install winxp on it, yes
[18:15] <BluesKaj> buy a cdrom drive for 25bucks
[18:15] <Guest31731> no, it is a notebook, military type,
[18:15] <lordievader> Guest31731: Good luck, Windows doesn't like to be transfered from hardware to hardware.
[18:15] <Guest31731> the PCs are almost the same specs, manufacturer, etc
[18:16] <ikonia> the host id's are different
[18:16] <lordievader> Guest31731: Put the hdd in the other pc and install from there. But don't come crying when Windows blue screens when you put the drive back into the original pc.
[18:17] <Guest31731> that is more or less what I am trying to do
[18:17] <Guest31731> but there are catchs
[18:17] <ikonia> this really isn't an ubuntu issue
[18:17] <ikonia> (kubuntu)
[18:17] <Guest31731> but Kubuntu can help as it is what I am running
[18:17] <ikonia> kubuntu has nothing to do with it
[18:18] <lordievader> Guest31731: Kubuntu cannot help with installing Windows ;)
[18:18] <Guest31731> I don't need help to install windows, just to make that HD boot on DOS or WINXP
[18:18] <ikonia> that's nothing to do with kubuntu
[18:18] <ikonia> and therefore nothing to do with this channel
[18:18] <Guest31731> I just need to write that info on the MBR using kubuntu
[18:19] <ikonia> no you don't
[18:19] <ikonia> the mbr will not install windows
[18:19] <Guest31731> but If I am able to write into that and install a FreeDOS or something with support for USB then I am fine
[18:19] <ikonia> no, you're not
[18:20] <ikonia> free dos has nothing to do with it
[18:20] <Guest31731> actually I've found a couple of tools which can do the job
[18:20] <ikonia> great
[18:20] <Guest31731> it is just me that I am not very good to understand the instructions
[18:20] <ikonia> which tools ?
[18:20] <Guest31731> as I am quite new with Kubuntu
[18:21] <Guest31731> plopKexec
[18:21] <Guest31731> plopKexec
[18:22] <ikonia> thats nothing to do with kubuntu
[18:22] <Guest31731> it looks like it runs on kubuntu
[18:22] <Guest31731> you think it doesn't?
[18:22] <ikonia> it doesn't run on anything
[18:22] <ikonia> it's a boot manager
[18:22] <ikonia> it lives on the masterboot record of a disk
[18:22] <lordievader> Guest31731: Have you read their page: Its based on a Linux Kernel and can load only other Linux kernels!
[18:22] <lordievader> Won't boot Windows.
[18:23] <Guest31731> but it will give me access to USB
[18:23] <ikonia> no it won't
[18:23] <lordievader> Guest31731: Like BluesKaj suggested, your best bet is to simply go out and buy a cd/dvd drive.
[18:24] <Guest31731> no I can't as my new solid state hard disk occupies the space where the CD player goes
[18:24] <Guest31731> It says on the website: You can boot Linux from USB even if there is no Bios USB support.
[18:24] <ikonia> Guest31731: right, you can do that
[18:24] <ikonia> Guest31731: however you want to boot windows
[18:24] <ikonia> you can't do that
[18:25] <lordievader> Guest31731: Why would you put an ssd into an old XP machine?
[18:25] <Guest31731> This tool is by the same guy who made Plop and I used plop to boot DOS from USB, that is my confusion then, sorry
[18:25] <lordievader> Forgive me, but my logic fails me here.
[18:25] <ikonia> Guest31731: listen very carefully
[18:25] <ikonia> Guest31731: "what you want to do is not practical, nor is it anything to do with kubuntu - this is not the channel you need"
[18:26] <Guest31731> because the old HD needs an adapter that it is broken and it happened that I have a SSD disk and its adapter
[18:26] <lordievader> Guest31731: ##windows is a more suited channel.
[18:27] <Guest31731> It won't because I am running Kubuntu and I don't have access to any other PC
[18:27] <Guest31731> My option is probably Plop
[18:27] <ikonia> it is not
[18:27] <Guest31731> I just need opinions about it
[18:27] <ikonia> but if you think it is, talk to the plop support resources to find out how to do it
[18:28] <Guest31731> Ok if you don't want to help you don't have to
[18:28] <Guest31731> I can't be sending emails and waiting for answers, it will take me months
[18:28] <ikonia> then talk to the plop resources
[18:28] <ikonia> this channel is not what you need
[18:28] <ikonia> please drop the topic
[18:29] <Guest31731> are you the administrator of the channel?
[18:29] <ikonia> that has nothing to do with it
[18:29] <ikonia> the topic of this channel is for kubuntu support
[18:29] <Guest31731> or maybe you were busy with some other topic?
[18:29] <ikonia> not 3rd party applications that are nothing to do with kubuntu being configured to do things that are outside of kubuntu
[18:29] <Guest31731> It looks like you don't want people to become insterested in using Kubuntu
[18:30] <ikonia> Guest31731: ok
[18:30] <ikonia> Guest31731: either way, it's a dead topic
[18:31] <Guest31731> so it is forbidden by you to talk about it?
[18:31] <ikonia> Guest31731: correct
[18:31] <Guest31731> are you the admin?
[18:31] <ikonia> Guest31731: not that it matters
[18:31] <ikonia> but yes
[18:32] <Guest31731> have good luck, because with that attitude you are going to need it...
[18:32] <ikonia> ok, thanks
[19:33] <ShalokShalom> hi there, what is the path to costumize the kdm themes please ?
[19:40] <BluesKaj> ShalokShalom, system settings>login screen, but why are you using kdm ?
[19:41] <ShalokShalom> BluesKaj: Its for a friend of mine. I mean: Where is the path in the filestructure, where the kdm themes are saved ?
[19:41] <ShalokShalom> He want to edit a theme from kde look
[19:42] <ShalokShalom> you recommend lightdm or sddm ? or another one ?
[19:44] <BluesKaj> ShalokShalom, the theme installer for the login screen has the option to install from a file. lightdm is default on 14.04 that uses plasma4 which is also default
[19:45] <ShalokShalom> He want to edit a downloaded theme
[19:46] <ShalokShalom> change the wallpaper of a complete kdm theme
[19:50] <BluesKaj> yes tell him to use the login page installer in system settings and choose the file after he edits
[19:50] <ShalokShalom> how to edit it ?
[19:50] <ShalokShalom> somebody explain me the path in #suse, i am on openmandriva
[19:51] <ShalokShalom> i mean, somebody in #kde explain me the path in openSUSE
[19:51] <BluesKaj> how does he want to edit the image or just use the image at the login page
[19:53] <lordievader> ShalokShalom: You are not on Kubuntu? Paths to such things are often disto specific.
[19:54] <ShalokShalom> lordievader: yep, thats the question, why i ask here ;)
[19:56] <lordievader> ShalokShalom: Lightdm themes are in "/usr/share/kde4/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes".
[19:56] <ShalokShalom> kdm ?
[19:56] <lordievader> ShalokShalom: Kubuntu used lightdm by default.
[19:57] <lordievader> Uses*
[19:57] <ShalokShalom> he use KDM
[19:57] <BluesKaj> there's no other theme available unless he downloads from kde-look or some such, then he gas to install it from the downloads folder by clicking on the background image in the login page to find the load from file option
[19:57] <ShalokShalom> yes
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> he already do that
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> and want to change the wallpaper in this theme
[19:58] <lordievader> ShalokShalom: Does he use Kubuntu? If so, why does he use KDM?
[19:58] <BluesKaj> there is no theme just a wallpaper image
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> he use 14.04 and use kdm, because he want to use this theme
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> ok
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> no positions ?
[19:58] <ShalokShalom> no icons ?
[19:59] <BluesKaj> not for the login page
[20:00] <BluesKaj> unledd he finds an image at kde-look that contains them
[20:00] <BluesKaj> unless
[21:08] <nell> so kubuntu come with kde5?
[21:09] <lordievader> nell: Not yet, but you can add a ppa.
[21:09] <nell> oh
[21:09] <nell> october is release
[21:09] <nell> I like KDE + ubuntu for my AV media workstation
[21:09] <nell> I'm doing stuff with VR and its nice to work in
[21:10] <nell> if I wanna get ubuntu studio packages
[21:10] <nell> should i get ubuntu studio w/ kde or kubuntu w/ ubuntu studio sources
[21:13] <lordievader> nell: By the by, Plasma5 is not really what I call usable yet. Best to stick with Plasma4 for production machines.
[21:15] <nell> Thanks, I think im satisfied with that
[21:15] <nell> peace
[22:06] <laaaa> hello
