[00:28] <xgarlics_> Hi, I have a problem with LibreOffice and its integration with KDE. the libreoffice-kde package only works in certain respects, the dialogs and windows are not integrated and keeps unsightly. libreoffice-gtk with improvement, but gives very annoying "flicker" effect. Is there any solution for this?
[02:50] <RCDeet> is there a special trick to sharing an external drive with samba?
[02:51] <RCDeet> local folders share with no problems
[03:07] <RCDeet> let me rephrase that, what's the trick to get any of the folders or files on an external drive to be shared and actually allow a windows computer to access them?
[03:10] <RCDeet> every time i set permission for the folder, it doesn't save
[03:39] <ubuntuuser> hello. Kubuntu 14.04 is stuck at retrieving file. Is there a problem?
[03:40] <ubuntuuser> Kubuntu 14.04 install
[05:21] <archetech> I cant boot 14.10 x64 kubuntu iso in vbox  host is win8 pro x64 uefi
[05:26] <archetech> nm got it
[06:13] <kyfella> Do any of you fine folks know of a good webcast server that can be installed on top of Kubuntu for business presentations?
[06:17] <nova_> I updated Kubuntu the other night on a vmware install and vmware tools is complaining now that it's modules won't work with kernel 3.10 or later.  Can I roll back the kernel somehow?  I don't have ethernet or internet on it now.
[06:29] <archetech> got 14.10 with kf5-plasma on vbox installed   nice
[06:30] <TheFakeazneD525> archetech: oooh
[06:30] <TheFakeazneD525> tell me how it is
[06:46] <archetech> whats with the "loading initial ramdisk"  hang?
[06:46] <archetech> 14.10
[06:54] <TheFakeazneD525> Might be a problem with the kernel
[08:18] <lordievader> nova_: If headers is all you need, you could download those through launchpad or apt on another machine to a usb stick and then transfer them to the pc in question.
[08:30]  * TheFakeazneD525 slides lordievader a coffee
[08:30] <lordievader> Thanks TheFakeazneD525
[08:40] <nova_> thanks lordievader ill keep that in mind.  I'm still not entirely sure what the root of my problem is....I think networking should work even without vmware tools installed..how else would one get the build dependencies.
[08:41] <nova_> all i really know is my networking stopped networking, no adapter shows up.
[08:52] <lordievader> nova_: What does "lspci -k|grep -A3 Network" give?
[08:53] <nova_> I've reverted to a copy of a 5 month old backup, and so far I've removed vmware tools and installed open-vm-tools, and I've only gotten about as far as being able to see that the screen resolution isn't scaling properly.  1 sec let me try that command and I'll get back to you
[08:53] <nova_> i need to switch back to the borked vm
[08:57] <nova_> lordievader I ran that command, it produced no results
[08:58] <lordievader> nova_: So you have no network adapter.
[08:58] <nova_> that's what it seems like
[08:59] <nova_> i think the vmware tools thing was more of a rabbit i was chasing.
[08:59] <nova_> I'm not sure what made the network adapter vanish
[09:00] <lordievader> nova_: The vmware tools are responsible for the network adapter?
[09:01] <nova_> I'm not sure..I thought they at least enhanced the capabilities of the adapter..but I know you don't have to have tools installed for the adapter to work
[09:03] <lordievader> nova_: I have too litle experience with vmware to know. However it could be that it installs a kernel module. Now if the update contained a kernel update it could be that for that kernel the module is missing.
[09:03] <nova_> I checked the VM settings and the virtual adapter is still there
[09:03] <lordievader> nova_: What type is it?
[09:05] <nova_> as in what is the name of the emulated adapter?
[09:06] <lordievader> nova_: No what type. IRRC you could select different adapter types. What kind of card it tries to emulate.
[09:07] <nova_> yeah im trying to recall how i find that information
[09:10] <nova_> according to this (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-AF9E24A8-2CFA-447B-AC83-35D563119667.html) it can be e1000, vmxnet, vmxnet2, vmxnet3, etc
[09:11] <nova_> it looks like e1000 is the only adapter type option that has a "real hardware counterpart"
[09:11] <nova_> and that vmxnet0-3 require vmware tools to be installed
[09:13] <lordievader> nova_: Is it set to e1000?
[09:14] <nova_> I haven't found a setting in VMWare Workstation to allows you to choose one way or the other
[09:14] <lordievader> nova_: Hmm, that driver should work out of the box.
[09:14] <nova_> It's not something I've ever really had to fight with..it just worked out of the box with or without vmware tools
[09:15] <nova_> this is a vm that i've used everyday for the last 2 years about
[09:15] <nova_> its seen a couple dist upgrades
[09:19] <lordievader> nova_: Does "grep e1000 /var/log/kern.log" return anything?
[09:20] <nova_> let me try
[09:22] <nova_> it returns nothing
[09:24] <lordievader> nova_: Could you pastebin the output of "dmidecode"?
[09:25] <nova_> i think so let me try...also i should mention im currently using a xubuntu 14.10 VM for IRC here, which is fairly similar to the kubuntu 14.10 for the most part...if theres anything we need to compare between the two
[09:30] <nova_> http://pastebin.com/4muQ67cY
[09:31] <nova_> the usb stick idea worked out well.....sometimes i forget what floppy disks were used for before internets and networking : P
[09:35] <lordievader> I'm not entirely sure but it seems the adapter is not recognized. What happens when you remove it, boot it up, shut it down. Add the adapter again and boot it up again?
[09:36] <nova_> i guess i can try that..it hadn't occured to me to try yet...ill do that and get back to you in a couple minutes
[09:42] <nova_> I shut it down, and removed the virtual adapter, restarted, shut down again, added the adapter again, and restarted...nothing changed unfortunately
[09:43] <lordievader> nova_: Perhaps you should start asking in #vmware ;)
[09:43] <nova_> i also tried "disconnecting/connecting"
[09:45] <nova_> yes perhaps...I just thought I should start here because the trouble happened after a kubuntu update...I havent changed a thing with vmware at all...and as I said I'm using Xubuntu 14.10 with kernel 3.13 as a VM.  Not that any of that rules out some quirk with vmware, but I was thinking it pointed more toward a problem with the update or a hitch in the update process
[09:47] <nova_> I might try updating my 5 month old backup and see if the problem happens again
[09:49] <nova_> Thank you for the assistance though.  I appreciate it.  I'll check back in if I find out anything more.
[09:49] <lordievader> True, but not seeing a sign of the adapter points somewhat towards the vmware part.
[09:49] <lordievader> nova_: Yeah, let me know when you find a fix ;)
[09:49] <nova_> yes...it's almost as if i hit some magic hotkey combo and flipped off the adapter...but as far as i know that doesn't exist....or does it?
[09:51] <lordievader> nova_: Perhaps vmware does have such a key combo?
[09:54] <neomilium> hello
[09:55] <neomilium> I have a (not-so) minor problem using network-manager plasmoid under 14.04
[09:57] <neomilium> Since a previous reboot, I'm not able to view my configured/connected networks in systray icon's left click panel
[09:58] <neomilium> But if I click on preferences, I see all my configured networks, with disconnected status...
[10:00] <neomilium> The worst side effect of this trouble is not to not see directly connected networks but the fact network-manager does not configure my interfaces (ie. at session openning)
[10:01] <neomilium> The only way I found to gain network access is to use CLI tools
[10:01] <neomilium> Does anyone here could help me to debug/fix this trouble ?

[12:06] <ALS-IT-NET-PC> Hallo, here......okay, good......
[12:30] <nova_> lordievader: I've dist upgraded my backup copy and the networking didn't break, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[12:43] <rom1504> it can be closed, but it's annoying
[12:43] <rom1504> I've tried to google it (hence above link) but with not much success
[12:44] <rom1504> any clue how to get rid of that ?

[13:51] <lolmaus> Hi! After a reboot, the following combinations stopped working: Ctrl+Esc (process manager) and Alt+F2 (run). Why and how do i have them back?
[13:51] <lolmaus> It's a pain without them.
[13:54] <lolmaus> I've found the combinations under System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> krunner: http://i.imgur.com/p5sTflS.png As you see, they are defined fine!
[13:54] <lolmaus> Oh! I ran `krunner` in console and they started working.

[15:09] <iceman2160> guys, i messed up my display configuration, i used Display Configuration from system settings, and now wach time i connect my external monitor (HDMI) the external display enters power save, and the laptop's display is blank. I just rotated my external display and now I can't revert it. deleting xorg.conf didn't help either. How can I reset the config? Google search returns just results where ppl have this config reset after rebo
[15:25] <Walex2> iceman2160: various display config tools have their own little config file. So do the 2-3 XRANDR based display configuration tools that KDE has
[15:25] <edward__>  /server irc.rizon.net
[15:27] <edward__>  /server irc.rizon.net
[15:27] <Walex2> iceman2160: what I would do is to get in the text based consoles and run directly 'env DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto' to reset the configuration.
[15:27] <edward__>  /server irc.rizon.net
[15:27] <Walex2> iceman2160: alternatively you can delete the KDE Display Manager config file
[16:39] <RCDeet> what's the trick to get any of the folders or files on an external drive to be shared and actually allow a windows computer to access them?
[16:41] <lordievader> RCDeet: How do you mean that?
[16:42] <RCDeet> my local files share with out a problem
[16:42] <RCDeet> every time i set a folder on my external, it sets permission that only the owner has access and everyone else is forbidden
[16:42] <RCDeet> i cant change these permissions
[16:43] <RCDeet> and windows/android devices cant view the files on the external drive but they can view the local files just fine
[16:43] <lordievader> RCDeet: How do you share it with Windows?
[16:43] <RCDeet> i don't
[16:43] <RCDeet> i'm sharing on kubuntu
[16:44] <lordievader> RCDeet: How do you share your files from Kubuntu with Windows.
[16:44] <RCDeet> ah
[16:45] <RCDeet> right click, sharing, everyone gets readonly, owner gets full access
[16:46] <RCDeet> under the permissions it automatically sets the same thing for local files
[16:46] <RCDeet> external get forbidden for everyone
[16:47] <lordievader> RCDeet: So you use Samba. When you open them on Windows do you use any credentials or do you use an anonymous account?
[16:48] <RCDeet> for local files no. for the external it tells me my creds are no good. doesn't give an option to log in. if i map the drive i try using my log in but no dice
[16:48] <lordievader> RCDeet: Who is the owner of the files?
[16:49] <RCDeet> me
[16:49] <RCDeet> my local account
[16:51] <lordievader> RCDeet: Does it work when you give everyone read acces?
[16:52] <RCDeet> nope, because it refuses to accept the permission change
[16:54] <lordievader> RCDeet: So the files are not owned by you. Please give me the output of "ls -l <dir-in-question>"
[16:55] <RCDeet> well if i right click on them, under permissions, it say i own them. but i'll get that
[16:56] <iceman2160> Walex2: Many thanks for your support, mate! I got it! I just had a terminal opened, connected the HDMI cable, typed "in blind" 'xrandr --auto' and it had my display settings back to default!
[16:56] <RCDeet> interesting
[16:56] <RCDeet> open konsole in the folder, enter the command
[16:56] <RCDeet> "no such file or direcdtory
[16:57] <RCDeet> directory*
[16:58] <RCDeet> never mind
[16:58] <lordievader> RCDeet: If your pwd is correct: ls -l
[16:58] <RCDeet> my mistake, did it wrong
[16:58] <Walex2> iceman2160: happy that worked
[16:59] <RCDeet> lordievader: http://paste.kde.org/paonfqllc
[17:00] <iceman2160> Walex2: Any other thing I tried, it failed, I removed the xorg.conf and to my surprise, there isn't any generated at boot, just a bunch of xorg,conf with timestamps; I also counldn't find this kdmrc file, supposedly being the config file for my display manager. And as I have studied in the previous hour, it seems that kubuntu ships with lightdm instead of kdm (14.04). Anyway, I appreciate your effort, mate!
[17:00] <iceman2160> now, back yo study, can't get autorotate to work with my monitor, but that's least of my problems for now.
[17:01] <Walex2> iceman2160: not 'kdmrc' which is anyhow in '/etc/kde4/kdm/', but 'krandrc'.
[17:01] <Walex2> iceman2160: not 'kdmrc' which is anyhow in '/etc/kde4/kdm/', but 'krandrrc'.
[17:02] <lordievader> RCDeet: You cannot change the rights to those files?
[17:02] <RCDeet> nope
[17:02] <iceman2160> Walex2: in /etc/kde4 i have just a textfile called kckclockrc.
[17:03] <iceman2160> Walex2: it's just a config file for timeservers
[17:04] <RCDeet> lordievader:  for comparison, http://paste.kde.org/pf6cajkwu i can change all of these
[17:06] <lordievader> RCDeet: It's an ntfs filesystem, ain't it?
[17:06] <RCDeet> ummmm.....probably
[17:06] <RCDeet> 1tb USB3 external drive
[17:09] <lordievader> RCDeet: Please paste the output of "df -T"
[17:10] <Walex2> RCDeet: and which filesystems have you created on that drive?
[17:10] <RCDeet> http://paste.kde.org/pnlxui5cf
[17:10] <Walex2> RCDeet: which is the same question that <lordievader> asked actually
[17:11] <lordievader> RCDeet: Jup that is NTFS, NTFS doesn't know linux filepermissions.
[17:11] <lordievader> That is why you cannot change them.
[17:11] <RCDeet> okay, so sharing it from this box is gonna be a no them?
[17:11] <RCDeet> then
[17:11] <RCDeet> *
[17:12] <lordievader> RCDeet: I don't know how samba handles ntfs shares. What you could do (if you do not use the external drive with Windows) is repartition the drive.
[17:12] <RCDeet> i use it with windows
[17:15] <albert_> anyone knows how to auto open pdf with adobe reader on firefox?
[17:16] <iceman2160> albert: try using the plugin, like this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/

[22:31] <skinux> How do I set App Grid as default package manager instead of Ubuntu Software Center?
[22:32] <valorie> skinux: are you in kubuntu?
[22:32] <valorie> if so, muon discover is the default
[22:32] <valorie> we've never offered Ubuntu Software Center as the default
[22:33] <valorie> dunno what app grid is
[22:33] <skinux> Yes, I'm in Kubuntu, however, I'd initially installed Ubuntu and later added Kubuntu into it.
[22:34] <valorie> apt-cache search gives me nothing called app grid
[22:34]  * valorie can't stand ubuntu software center
[22:34] <valorie> I just use muon package manager or better yet, apt
[22:36] <skinux> I use apt a lot. I want to be able to use a GUI manager so that I can occasionally show others that Linux can be as useful to them as Windows.
[22:37] <valorie> sure, look at Muon Discover, which is the prettiest
[22:37] <valorie> or muon package manager, which is the most efficient IMO
[22:37] <valorie> as I said, I've not heard of or see that app grid is packaged in *buntu
[22:38] <valorie> there is apper, which Debian uses
[22:38] <valorie> but I've not used it, so can't say one way or the other
[22:42] <ahoneybun> hey valorie
[22:44] <valorie> hi ahoneybun (from home)
[22:45] <valorie> let's talk in #kubuntu-offtopic ?
[22:45] <ahoneybun> ok
[22:55] <bfieck> anybody out there?
[22:55] <bfieck> I need some help installing a new window manager
[23:01] <TheFakeazneD525> hmm?
[23:04] <valorie> bfieck: on kubuntu?
[23:04] <TheFakeazneD525> well if it's already on the computer
[23:05] <TheFakeazneD525> System Settings> Default Applications > Window Mangler
[23:07] <BigWig> Window Mangler :)
[23:08] <valorie> very nice freudian slip, TheFakeazneD525
[23:09] <TheFakeazneD525> :P
[23:12] <bfieck> yea
[23:12] <bfieck> it's on kubuntu
[23:12] <bfieck> I want to install Enlightenment
[23:12] <bfieck> I'm not root though
[23:14] <bfieck> I downloaded the source for E, eina, ecore and eeze, but after installing eina
[23:14] <bfieck> with "./configure --prefix=$HOME/bin && make && make install"
[23:14] <bfieck> ecore can't find it. I've tried editing PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[23:14] <bfieck> so that it points to $HOME/bin
[23:15] <bfieck> but even after putting it into my .zshrc file as "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/bin"
[23:15] <valorie> bfieck: are there packages in *buntu?
[23:15] <bfieck> and on the next line "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
[23:15] <valorie> always better to go with packages if possible
[23:16] <bfieck> I'm not root
[23:16] <valorie> deb files if not
[23:16] <bfieck> so I used apt-get source
[23:16] <bfieck> they are the packages, I'm just compiling them manually
[23:16] <valorie> you don't need root
[23:16] <valorie> merely sudo
[23:16] <bfieck> well that's what I meant
[23:16] <bfieck> I have zero permissions to run any command as root
[23:17] <valorie> you need sudo to properly care for your install
[23:17] <bfieck> including sudo
[23:17] <bfieck> I shouldn't should I? I'm only changing the DE for my user
[23:17] <valorie> how do you have kubuntu with no sudo powers?
[23:17] <bfieck> I'm not the admin
[23:18] <bfieck> I could request that the DE get added, but I doubt they're willing to do that much work just for me
[23:19] <bfieck> I feel like all I need is to have the E executable in my PATH and set my .xinitrc to load that DE, and I have permissions as a regular user to do all of that.
[23:19] <valorie> they wouldn't run `sudo apt install e17` for you?
[23:19] <valorie> not very much work.....
[23:19] <bfieck> oh and obviously the executable needs to be able to find it's resources.
[23:19] <valorie> exactly
[23:20] <bfieck> I know, but I'm just a student, I don't think they'd listen to me.
[23:20] <valorie> I think you should make a request to have it added globally
[23:20] <valorie> ah
[23:20] <valorie> not sure then
[23:21] <valorie> as TheFakeazneD525 said, once it's installed, just call it from system settings
[23:21] <valorie> IMO students should all have the right to try out all the desktops
[23:23] <bfieck> okay well maybe I can figure it out, but I would like to know (as I'm not entirely sure) will x listen to my .xinitrc right away, or will I be running a DE on top of a DE?
[23:24] <valorie> I doubt that's even possible, depending on how you define "running"
[23:25] <valorie> unless you are running in a VM
[23:25] <TheFakeazneD525> I ran Cairo-dock on top of razor-qt a few times...
[23:26] <valorie> you can't really call Cairo-dock a WM though?
[23:26] <bfieck> I've run unity inside of unity before
[23:26] <valorie> we're in territory I know nothing about
[23:26] <bfieck> it's not fun
[23:26] <TheFakeazneD525> well it was a DE on top of a DE
[23:26] <valorie> and it seems a bit off-topic here as well
[23:27] <valorie> please take further discussions about 'other than kubuntu' to #kubuntu-offtopic
[23:29] <TheFakeazneD525> sorry :c
