[01:25] <Bob___> Hi
[01:30] <TheFakeazneD525> what a nice person :)
[01:51] <davls82_> i go to sleep
[01:51] <TheFakeazneD525> Uh ok
[05:27] <nandhu> is there any windo manager which supports drag and drop ?
[05:53] <nandhu> i am trying to update a config file with IP address. How can i pass  a variable in sed
[05:53] <nandhu> sed -i '/ec2_url=/c\ec2_url=http://"{$IP}"/services/Cloud' $Tempest_Conf
[05:54] <nandhu> here its getting updated with "{$IP}" and not with the actual variable
[05:56] <SporkWitch> nandhu: are those backticks or single quotes?
[05:56] <SporkWitch> nandhu: i can't remember what does what, but it makes a difference for how control chars and variables are handled
[05:57] <nandhu> i used double coats
[05:58] <nandhu> inside single quotes
[05:59] <SporkWitch> use backticks
[05:59] <SporkWitch> single quotes prevent variable expansion
[05:59] <SporkWitch> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29980/whats-the-difference-between-single-and-double-quotes-in-the-bash-shell/
[05:59] <anders____> kubuntu requires a restart after updates?!
[06:00] <nandhu> thanks let me gothrough
[06:01] <SporkWitch> anders: 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 clean
[07:44] <fuorviatos_> hey there
[07:45] <fuorviatos_> anybody have idea how to disable the illiminating windows edge in KDE when desktop effects are active?
[07:49] <Papamatti> fuorviatos_: You can enable and disable the shadow and glowing in the window decorations
[07:49] <Papamatti> fuorviatos_: Systemsetting
[07:54] <fuorviatos_> Papamatti: thanks
[08:44] <obert> can i browse and edit/move files located in a laptop with windows OS via kubuntu?
[08:45] <lordievader> obert: I'm sorry what?
[08:45] <lordievader> Do you mean if you can access your files on a Windows partition? Then yes.
[08:45] <obert> lordievader: need to move files located in a tablet with windows into a linux hd
[08:46] <lordievader> obert: The tablet part might make it difficult. But you can move things off of a ntfs partition.
[08:46] <obert> how
[08:46] <obert> please
[08:47] <lordievader> obert: Mount the ntfs partition and copy/move your files.
[08:47] <obert> dolphin->Network?
[08:47] <obert> mount dev/what, sorry?
[08:48] <lordievader> As 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] <lordievader> Can the tablet access samba shares?
[08:49] <obert> dunnno
[08:49] <lordievader> That is perhaps easier. Setup a samba share on your Kubuntu box and let the tablet copy its files from there.
[08:50] <obert> Windows shared is not the same thing, correct?
[08:52] <obert> i will google something :) thank you for now
[08:52] <lordievader> No idea. As I said I have no experience with Windows tablets ;)
[08:53] <obert> and I have no experience with Samba :)
[09:00] <yofel> obert: 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)
[09:06] <obert> yofel: no i did't
[09:07] <obert> yofel: thank you for the tip
[09:28] <lattice> hello?
[09:29] <lattice> dragon player and vlc player cannot play the video from samba share
[09:29] <lattice> any suggestions ?
[09:44] <keithzg> You could try mounting the share rather than using it via KIO slave.
[09:47] <lattice> anyone here ?
[11:02] <qtcc> euhfdfsf
[11:02] <qtcc> there is anyone
[11:02] <qtcc> ok
[12:46] <davls82> Hi all
[12:55] <davls82> anybody there
[13:01] <lordievader> o/
[13:49] <BluesKaj> Hiya folks
[14:26] <sandman13> what is the KDE version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? with and without using PPAs?
[14:29] <MoonUnit`> KDE 4.8.2 according to distrowatch, http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=07220
[14:30] <lordievader> !info kde-workspace precise
[14:30] <BluesKaj> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-12.04.5
[14:32] <sandman13> MoonUnit`: using PPAs?
[14:33] <MoonUnit`> looks like 4.13.2
[14:33] <MoonUnit`> https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports?field.series_filter=precise
[14:35] <sandman13> interesting
[14:37] <sandman13> MoonUnit`: PPAs are different from Backports right?
[14:37] <lordievader> sandman13: The Kubuntu backports is a ppa.
[14:37] <MoonUnit`> backports is a ppa, ppa just means personal package archive.
[14:39] <sandman13> are PPA discouraged? I have read it that it is not advised to use PPAs
[14:39] <MoonUnit`> it means trusting 3rd party executables
[14:40] <lordievader> In general they are somewhat discouraged. However the Kubuntu backports come from the Kubuntu team.
[14:42] <sandman13> lordievader: 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?
[14:43] <lordievader> sandman13: 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.
[14:46] <sandman13> lordievader: I would like to get somewhat newer KDE but I am okay with other packages
[14:46] <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.
[14:50] <sandman13> PPAs (if supported by official team) are wonderful especially for a Debian user who is longing to get a new version of DE :)
[14:52] <obert> hm
[14:52] <lordievader> sandman13: Are you using Debian?
[14:52] <sandman13> lordievader: yes, it was my first distro using it for 4 months now
[14:53] <lordievader> sandman13: Debian is not supported here. See #debian for that.
[14:53] <sandman13> lordievader: I know but I am asking how Kubuntu works not Debian
[14:55] <sandman13> and I like the way in which Kubuntu team supports the new version of KDE
[14:55] <sandman13> lordievader: is there a minimal iso or net install image of Kubuntu?
[14:55] <lordievader> sandman13: Yes.
[14:56] <sandman13> lordievader: can you link me to it? I have an iso but that is of Ubuntu
[14:57] <lordievader> sandman13: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[14:57] <sandman13> lordievader: thanks
[15:25] <hemanta> any one knows how to solve this problem

[15:25] <hemanta> hi
[15:25] <hemanta> hi
[15:27] <hemanta> anyone knows how to solve installer crash problem on kubuntu
[15:28] <hemanta> hi
[15:28] <BluesKaj> hemanta, try no acpi in the options
[15:29] <hemanta> i was trying to install kubuntu
[15:29] <hemanta> first it says installer crashed try again
[15:30] <lordievader> hemanta: What version of Kubuntu are you trying to install?
[15:30] <hemanta> it's 14.04
[15:30] <hemanta> it was working fine on my pc
[15:30] <lordievader> hemanta: Did you check the md5 sum?
[15:31] <BluesKaj> hemanta, at the start page choose no acpi the options before you choose to install
[15:31] <lordievader> BluesKaj: This is a python error, has nothing to do with acpi.
[15:31] <BluesKaj> in the options...believe it's f6
[15:31] <hemanta> so installer problem should go with that
[15:33] <BluesKaj> ok , didn't see the error post
[15:34] <hemanta> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-language.py", line 486, in on_release_notes_link     self.openURL(url)   File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-language.py", line 507, in openURL     if os.direxists("/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings"): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'direxists'
[15:34] <BluesKaj> when someone says hi , i assume that's the first entry]
[15:34] <lordievader> hemanta: So, did you check the md5sum?
[15:35] <hemanta> yes
[15:35] <hemanta> it was working fine for me
[15:35] <lordievader> hemanta: Is this a live-cd or a live-usb?
[15:36] <hemanta> live usb
[15:36] <lordievader> hemanta: "It was working fine" what was working?
[15:37] <hemanta> i installed my system from the same usb
[15:37] <hemanta> i was using for few days
[15:37] <hemanta> i was trying to remove akondi
[15:37] <hemanta> then it's gone
[15:38] <hemanta> so i have to reinstall it again
[15:38] <lordievader> hemanta: "Then it's gone" what is it?
[15:38] <hemanta> unknowingly i removed something
[15:39] <lordievader> hemanta: Boot into the recoverymode and reinstall the 'kubuntu-desktop' package.
[15:39] <hemanta> that's why it was not working correctly
[15:40] <hemanta> but i have formated root drive
[15:40] <lordievader> ...
[15:41] <lordievader> hemanta: Make another live-usb with unetbootin, unetbootin usually works.
[15:41] <hemanta> is there any other way to fix this?
[15:42] <lordievader> Don't think so.
[15:43] <hemanta> okay..........
[15:43] <hemanta> i don't know but there is a option on unetbootin
[15:43] <hemanta> what if i extrace iso on hard drive insted of usb
[15:44] <hemanta> what you think?
[15:44] <lordievader> hemanta: Run the program and create a new live-usb. That is the easiest way.
[15:45] <Leon> Good morning

[16:10] <jatin> hello there
[16:15] <cjwelborn> I 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?
[16:18] <cjwelborn> Nevermind I found it. Looks like 14.10 has a 'preview' of plasma 5 available.
[16:24] <cjwelborn> 14.10 is in beta, and it's possible to use Plasma 5 with it, but as far as 'stable' I will have to wait.
[16:29] <lordievader> cjwelborn: Somewhere in 15.x or 16.x.
[16:30] <cjwelborn> lordievader: thanks, I actually never found my definitive answer. That helps.

[23:11] <sysop2> hi guys!
[23:13] <sysop2> I was wondering if you could tell me if 14.04 uses plymouth by default?
[23:13] <valorie> I believe so, yes
[23:14] <sysop2> cool thanks.  I am trying to take a bunch of frames and turn them into a boot theme  just was wondering which way I should try first.  any tips would be greately appreciated .
[23:15] <sysop2> an animated boot  theme I meant to say
[23:18] <sysop2> so whats the difference between ksplash and plymouth?
[23:18] <valorie> uh, beyond my knowledge, I'm afraid
[23:18] <sysop2> did plymouth just replace ksplash?
[23:18] <sysop2> oh thanks anyway.
[23:18] <valorie> plymouth is standard for *buntu
[23:23] <TheFakeazneD525> KSplash is when you log in
[23:24] <TheFakeazneD525> Plymouth is boot up
[23:24] <sysop2> cool thanks.
[23:24] <sysop2> any idea which is easier to create an animated theme in?
[23:25]  * TheFakeazneD525 shrugs
[23:25] <sysop2> thanks anyway will keep googling around at least I know what to look for now thanks.
[23:56] <Fritigern> MANY years ago, in Windows, i had this tool in which i would do a traceroute, and it would plot all the nodes it enountered on a map of the world. I loved that feature. does anyone know if a similar tool exists in Linux?
