[01:15] <Jon_> anyone here
[01:17] <Jon_> i'm a new kubuntu user. installed full Ubuntu with Unity. I like Kubuntu. But I have problem. If I show the Trash icon on the task manager panel and then proceed to move it right of the clock just left of the Panel Tool Box then when I relog in I'll get a black screen.
[01:18] <Jon_> if the trash icon is not right of the clock readout then I don't seem to get the problem
[01:18] <Jon_> i am using 14.04 LTS Ubuntu with the KDE Kubuntu installed
[01:23] <Jon_> problem is if anybody can duplicate my problem then they might lose their appearance settings... if i use "sudo rm -rf .kde/share/config/plasma-*" after pressing ctrl-alt-f2 and enterining user/pswrd then it will allow me to log in but deletes the settings
[01:24] <Jon_> i alos tried eeleting all the config settings but the problem remains
[01:27] <Jon_> i need a suggestion of where to go to find help about this
[03:47] <flameaway> Hello
[03:47] <flameaway> I'm having a bit of trouble with a Kubuntu install.  I install it and then it refuses to boot to that install.
[03:49] <flameaway> Any help would be appreciated
[03:52] <flameaway> What is strange that I can see the encrypted volume.  But when I take the CD out of the drive and reboot, K asks me to insert boot media and hit enter
[03:53] <flameaway> Anyone?
[03:57] <flameaway> {sighs}
[03:59] <flameaway> could really used some help here...
[06:48] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:11] <amministratore> chi ha vista ita
[11:51] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:25] <fujio> how do I stop networkmanager in kubuntu?
[12:25] <fujio> Tehre is no init script in kubuntu
[12:28] <tsimpson> "sudo service network-manager stop"
[12:28] <rberg> yep it looks to be a upstart job so its in /etc/init/ not init.d
[12:30] <fujio> thanks that worked
[12:50] <PieandVinyl> Hi ladies and gents. I'm having wireless dropouts on my new lappy with an haswell intel 7260. Tends to be stable after turning the wifi on and off a few times and networkmanager shows a good connection when there isn't one. Anyone got any ideas? Even if generic?
[12:55] <hateball> PieandVinyl: what release/kernel are you running?
[12:55] <hateball> In my experience it can take Intel some time to catch up with their newer chipset modules
[12:58] <PieandVinyl> 14.04 and 3.13.0-35. You're probably right.
[13:00] <hateball> PieandVinyl: You could try using backported modules, or a newer kernel
[13:01] <hateball> PieandVinyl: Googling for your chipset + kernel usually turns up interesting results :)
[13:04] <PieandVinyl> Same old story, googled everything but never thought of that search term. There's some interesting results indeed. Cheers, I'll have a read.
[13:07] <hateball> hmmm, is there no linux-backports-modules package any longer...
[13:08] <ozooner__> PieandVinyl, I have same intel chipset and dropouts with 3.13. Upgrading to 3.15 (or 3.16) solved the issue
[13:11] <PieandVinyl> ozooner_: Ah right. That's good news!
[13:12] <PieandVinyl> hateball: I'll have a look at a newer kernel then!
[13:17] <hateball> PieandVinyl: Good luck in your quest for stable wifi :)
[14:31] <frop> hello
[14:32] <Mdgd`> Hey guys
[14:32] <frop> I'm running a Live-Kubuntu from an USB-key and I'm having problems using "mplayer" and smb:// streams
[14:32] <Mdgd`> Does anyone know if it is possible to install Kubuntu with LVM and an encrypted partition, using a manual partition scheme? NOT using the entire disk?
[14:33] <frop> I installed VLC and I can watch these stream just right
[14:33] <frop> even tried to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad with no success
[14:33] <Mdgd`> I was referred to the "alternate" CD in a forum post but A. it's broken, B. it's discontinued as of 12.something
[14:35] <Mdgd`> Seems like a pretty drastic downgrade if that's really the case..
[14:37] <frop> did you try something like this? http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-lvm-partitions/
[14:38] <Mdgd`> frop, I've already made the partitions, but the Kubuntu installer doesn't supported LVM crypts.
[14:38] <Mdgd`> Unless you're prepared to wipe your HDD
[14:40] <Mdgd`> Which kinda strikes me like offering people the option of installing a door lock.
[14:40] <Mdgd`> As long as they're willing to replace all their windows with doors.
[14:41] <Mdgd`> Pretty ludicrous demand to set..
[14:43] <shadeslayer> Mdgd`: re using manual partitioning scheme, no
[14:43] <shadeslayer> fwiw there is no manual partitioning scheme, since you can just resize lvm partitions on the fly
[14:43] <shadeslayer> so seems pointless
[14:43] <Mdgd`> shadeslayer, okay. Are you familiar with a Linux distro that *does* support it?
[14:43] <Mdgd`> Fedora?
[14:43] <shadeslayer> not off the top of my head
[14:43] <Mdgd`> Haha
[14:44] <Mdgd`> Oh man if only
[14:44] <shadeslayer> why can't you just resize lvm partitions after installation?
[14:44] <shadeslayer> also
[14:44] <Mdgd`> I tried, but maybe those tools were discontinued with 12 too..
[14:44] <shadeslayer> you could technically preseed it
[14:44] <shadeslayer> !preseeding
[14:44] <shadeslayer> hm nope
[14:44] <BluesKaj> Mdgd`, i assume you've read this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpLVM-WithoutACleanInstall
[14:45] <Mdgd`> I followed the Ubuntu tutorial on LVM resizing - first half was redundant as everything was set by default, second half just spat out errors.
[14:45] <lordievader> Mdgd`: The mini iso can setup encrypted lvm partitions however you like.
[14:45] <Mdgd`> Mini iso?
[14:45] <shadeslayer> or you know, preseeding
[14:45] <BluesKaj> !minimal
[14:45] <lordievader> Mdgd`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[14:46] <Mdgd`> Thanks guys
[14:46] <Mdgd`> Does *this* one support wifi?
[14:46] <shadeslayer> Mdgd`: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html & https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
[14:46] <shadeslayer> Mdgd`: mini ISO doesn't support wifi I think
[14:46] <shadeslayer> haven't tried it though
[14:47] <Mdgd`> Oh well. As long as it can set up a single LVM crypt alongside other partitions, and it supports KDE, I'll take it.
[14:47] <shadeslayer> Mdgd`: search for partitioning on the second link
[14:49] <Mdgd`> Alright, I gotta cut this connection to run this install
[14:49] <Mdgd`> Thanks for the help fellas
[14:51] <BluesKaj> good luck Mdgd`
[14:56] <frop> ok, seems like will be impossible use smplayer and media stored on a samba share
[14:56] <frop> is there really no solution to this?
[14:57] <frop> ...guess an http/ftp server will do :P
[15:02] <BluesKaj> frop, on your LAN?
[15:03] <frop> yes
[15:04] <frop> I can browse the share in dolphin
[15:04] <frop> I can play the media with VLC
[15:04] <frop> just can't using smplayer
[15:04] <frop> nor the default kubuntu videoplayer
[15:06] <BluesKaj> frop, I've experienced the same problem with mplayer and dragonplayer, they aren't quite as advanced in terms of streaming options as VLC
[15:06] <frop> it's not about the player itself...more likely it's KDE/kio fault
[15:07] <frop> using ubuntu (and .gvfs) there's no such problem
[15:11] <BluesKaj> well, frop that was my experience, it could be a kio problem, but I use VLC as default so I guess it's immaterial in my case. Have you considered filing a bug? or asking in #kubuntu-devel
[15:11] <frop> seems like the "kio" bug is an old one :)
[15:14] <BluesKaj> no doubt ..unfortunately media in and out seems to take a back seat on kde in general
[15:14] <frop> trying now, via ftp...let's see
[15:15] <frop> eheh, works perferctly
[15:18] <frop> gonna uninstall vlc
[15:18] <frop> it bugs out sometimes, leaving the media without audio
[15:44] <fuorviatos> guys I've probably found a crtical  bug in fglrx or KDE screenserver. How can I find out which one is the cause?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> fuorviatos, describe your issue in more detail
[15:48] <fuorviatos> BluesKaj: when using fglrx driver after suspending and waking up with the kscreensaver a hang occurs
[15:49] <fuorviatos> the only solution is to hard-reboot
[15:49] <fuorviatos> no such issue with intel driver
[15:51] <lordievader> fuorviatos: Haven't seen that issue here.
[15:52] <fuorviatos> lordievader - does that mean it is not an issue ;) ?
[15:52] <BluesKaj> fuorviatos, ok, what about desktop effects and OpenGL settings, any issues there?
[15:52] <lordievader> fuorviatos: No, it just means that I can not confirm it ;)
[15:53] <fuorviatos> BluesKaj: not really - because intel works like a charm with them
[15:54] <fuorviatos> I suppose it is a fglrx-related bug
[15:54] <BluesKaj> so you have a hybrid gpu setup
[15:54] <fuorviatos> Yep
[15:54] <fuorviatos> which is supposed to work without problems with 14.04
[15:55] <fuorviatos> it already did with 12.04
[15:55] <fuorviatos> that's why I'm kind of excluding the hardware here
[15:55] <BluesKaj> if your high level gpu was nvidia we could probly help, but amd/ati is more difficult
[15:56] <fuorviatos> I'm gonna open this as a bug under fglrx package upstream
[15:56] <lordievader> It might very well be the hybrid thing, I can imagine such things are tricky.
[15:57] <fuorviatos> BluesKaj: out of my curiosity - why is nvidia easier to solve?
[15:57] <lordievader> And that something is supposed to work doesn't mean it works.
[15:57] <BluesKaj> yes, but make sure you include the dual gpus in the explanation
[15:58] <fuorviatos> lordievader: Well, it should because 12.04 introduced a special xorg and kernel to support such chipsets. This was official support by Ubuntu.
[15:58] <BluesKaj> intel/nivida has more optional support as well as bumblebee
[15:58] <lordievader> fuorviatos: Have you looked in the logs what might be the issue?
[15:59] <fuorviatos> BluesKaj, lordievader - please note that my issue doesn't occur while switching
[15:59] <fuorviatos> lordievader: I cannot see nothing in the logs
[15:59] <lordievader> fuorviatos: So you can see something :P
[15:59] <fuorviatos> ;)
[15:59] <fuorviatos> Thanks for the support
[15:59] <fuorviatos> Try to report that
[16:00] <fuorviatos> what is the package name of kde screensaver?
[16:01] <lordievader> fuorviatos: kscreensaver
[16:21] <skinux> I'm looking for some help configuring "Windows" key to open KDE Menu.
[16:21] <lordievader> skinux: Last time I checked that wasn't possible, since the Windows key (super) is a modifier.
[16:23] <skinux> Okay
[16:29] <SonikkuAmerica> Shoot, I was going to tell skinux to bind it to Alt+F1
[19:57] <veqz> how can I install gstreamer1.0 on 14.04?
[20:12] <genii> !info gstreamer1.0-x
[20:13] <genii> Hm.
[20:43] <cjwelborn> I binded mine to Meta + Z, they're very close together so it's almost like a plain 'Meta' key press. I have all kinds of shortcut keys that I use. It's so much faster than using the mouse when you are already typing.
[20:43] <cjwelborn> bound*
[21:48] <finetundra> hello. i have a printer/scanner combo. the thig will print fine but i'm unable to figure out how to setup the scanning function
[21:51] <finetundra> it is an hp color laserjet cm2320nf
[21:53] <finetundra> it is detected in simple scan but will not try to scan for some reason
[21:54] <valorie> !scanner
[21:55] <valorie> might be something there for you, finetundra
