nandhuis there any windo manager which supports drag and drop ?05:27
nandhui am trying to update a config file with IP address. How can i pass  a variable in sed05:53
nandhused -i '/ec2_url=/c\ec2_url=http://"{$IP}"/services/Cloud' $Tempest_Conf05:53
nandhuhere its getting updated with "{$IP}" and not with the actual variable05:54
SporkWitchnandhu: are those backticks or single quotes?05:56
SporkWitchnandhu: i can't remember what does what, but it makes a difference for how control chars and variables are handled05:56
nandhui used double coats05:57
nandhuinside single quotes05:58
SporkWitchuse backticks05:59
SporkWitchsingle quotes prevent variable expansion05:59

anders____kubuntu requires a restart after updates?!05:59
=== anders____ is now known as andersl
nandhuthanks let me gothrough06:00
SporkWitchanders: you can usually get away with simply logging out and back in; it's not so much that a restart is REQUIRED, so much as that it's the easiest way to make sure everything starts over clean06:01

obertcan i browse and edit/move files located in a laptop with windows OS via kubuntu?08:44
lordievaderobert: I'm sorry what?08:45
lordievaderDo you mean if you can access your files on a Windows partition? Then yes.08:45
obertlordievader: need to move files located in a tablet with windows into a linux hd08:45
lordievaderobert: The tablet part might make it difficult. But you can move things off of a ntfs partition.08:46
oberthow08:46
obertplease08:46
lordievaderobert: Mount the ntfs partition and copy/move your files.08:47
obertdolphin->Network?08:47
obertmount dev/what, sorry?08:47
lordievaderAs I said the tablet part may make it difficult. Since I do not have a Windows tablet I do not know if you can mount its partitions.08:48
lordievaderCan the tablet access samba shares?08:48
obertdunnno08:49
lordievaderThat is perhaps easier. Setup a samba share on your Kubuntu box and let the tablet copy its files from there.08:49
obertWindows shared is not the same thing, correct?08:50
oberti will google something :) thank you for now08:52
lordievaderNo idea. As I said I have no experience with Windows tablets ;)08:52
obertand I have no experience with Samba :)08:53
yofelobert: did you try to connect the tablet to the PC over USB? At least Android tablets then allow file access over MTP (I would hope that windows does the same)09:00
obertyofel: no i did't09:06
obertyofel: thank you for the tip09:07
latticehello?09:28
latticedragon player and vlc player cannot play the video from samba share09:29
latticeany suggestions ?09:29
keithzgYou could try mounting the share rather than using it via KIO slave.09:44

sandman13what is the KDE version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? with and without using PPAs?14:26
MoonUnit`KDE 4.8.2 according to distrowatch, http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=0722014:29
lordievader!info kde-workspace precise14:30
ubottukde-workspace (source: kde-workspace): KDE Plasma Workspace components. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.3 (precise), package size 15 kB, installed size 149 kB14:30
BluesKajhttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-12.04.514:30
sandman13MoonUnit`: using PPAs?14:32
MoonUnit`looks like 4.13.214:33
MoonUnit`https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports?field.series_filter=precise14:33
sandman13interesting14:35
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest53549
sandman13MoonUnit`: PPAs are different from Backports right?14:37
lordievadersandman13: The Kubuntu backports is a ppa.14:37
MoonUnit`backports is a ppa, ppa just means personal package archive.14:37
sandman13are PPA discouraged? I have read it that it is not advised to use PPAs14:39
MoonUnit`it means trusting 3rd party executables14:39
lordievaderIn general they are somewhat discouraged. However the Kubuntu backports come from the Kubuntu team.14:40
sandman13lordievader: that means if I use other *buntus except Kubuntu PPAs are discouraged but since Kubuntu backports come from Kubuntu team, it is safe to use?14:42
lordievadersandman13: PPA's are used at your own risk. The question is do you trust the author. In case of the backports this is the Kubuntu team. However for other ppa it could be a random person from the internet.14:43
sandman13lordievader: I would like to get somewhat newer KDE but I am okay with other packages14:46
MoonUnit`some makers of certain software suggest ppa to add to get latest versions, in that case it's not much different from downloading an exe file from their site if you were using windows.14:46
sandman13PPAs (if supported by official team) are wonderful especially for a Debian user who is longing to get a new version of DE :)14:50
oberthm14:52
lordievadersandman13: Are you using Debian?14:52
sandman13lordievader: yes, it was my first distro using it for 4 months now14:52
lordievadersandman13: Debian is not supported here. See #debian for that.14:53
sandman13lordievader: I know but I am asking how Kubuntu works not Debian14:53
sandman13and I like the way in which Kubuntu team supports the new version of KDE14:55
sandman13lordievader: is there a minimal iso or net install image of Kubuntu?14:55
lordievadersandman13: Yes.14:55
sandman13lordievader: can you link me to it? I have an iso but that is of Ubuntu14:56
lordievadersandman13: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD14:57

jatinhello there16:10
cjwelbornI was just looking at Plasma 5 and it looks really cool. I don't want to use an unstable version, so I was wondering what version of Kubuntu might get this, or whether it will be made available to current versions. I'm on 14.04. Where can I get that information?16:15
cjwelbornNevermind I found it. Looks like 14.10 has a 'preview' of plasma 5 available.16:18
cjwelborn14.10 is in beta, and it's possible to use Plasma 5 with it, but as far as 'stable' I will have to wait.16:24
lordievadercjwelborn: Somewhere in 15.x or 16.x.16:29
cjwelbornlordievader: thanks, I actually never found my definitive answer. That helps.16:30
