valoriestrange06:39
TheFakeazneD525yet, amdcccle still won't load06:39
TheFakeazneD525and, its not in the path either06:39
TheFakeazneD525a few days ago it vanished from my applications launcher menu06:39
TheFakeazneD525and it's heating up again...06:41
valorieI guess it's called `fglrx-amdcccle`06:41
valorienear the bottom of that linked page that's discussed a bit06:41
TheFakeazneD525modprobe: FATAL: Module fgrlx not found.06:45
valorie!06:45
TheFakeazneD525Its using the "radeon" module06:45
TheFakeazneD525maybe its because of a new kernel?06:46
valoriethe default, I believe06:46
valoriethat could be06:46
valorieyou might have to re-do06:47
TheFakeazneD525how06:47
valorielook at the linked page....06:47
valorieI mean, somehow you installed fglrx?06:47
TheFakeazneD525One of the first things I did was install fglrx06:48
TheFakeazneD525on this computer06:48
valorieso do it again06:48
TheFakeazneD525um...06:49
TheFakeazneD525in /etc/X11 there's supposed to be an "xorg.conf" right?06:49

TheFakeazneD525what should I do?06:51
valorieplease look at the page I linked for you; the writers are the experts06:53
valorieI've not done any of this stuff for years06:53
valorie!fglrx06:53

valoriesheesh06:53
valoriehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto06:54
TheFakeazneD525Alright, I'll reinstall the things according to tha page06:55
valorie....assuming just re-installing didn't work06:56
valorieof course try that first06:56
TheFakeazneD525brb reboot06:57
TheFakeazneD525alright, now it's installing the fglrx and fglrx-amdccccccccle07:01
valorieexcellent07:04
TheFakeazneD525\o/07:18
TheFakeazneD525it loaded the fglrx module07:18
valorieexcellent!07:18
valoriechalk that up to the great writers of the help pages07:19
TheFakeazneD525now I need to test if redeclipse runs smoothly07:19
valorieI'm guess that's a game07:19
TheFakeazneD525Ya07:20
TheFakeazneD525its in the official repos :307:20
TheFakeazneD525say valorie, where could I find a binary of vokoscreen built with ffmpeg instead of libav?07:21
valorieis this a test?07:25
valorieI know what ffmpeg are, and libav07:25
valorieno idea about vokoscreen07:26
TheFakeazneD525frontend to ffmpeg/libav to record the desktop07:27
TheFakeazneD525I installed a ppa to give me ffmpeg instead of libav, and that broke vokoscreen07:27
valorieah07:30
valorieyou probably will have to try to build it from source07:30
valoriefront end probably won't take you long07:31
valoriealthough if it's really important to you, you might be able to find an old deb over on the debian repos07:32
lordievaderGood morning.07:56
TheFakeazneD525morning07:56
TheFakeazneD525lordievader: I have a question07:56
lordievaderHey TheFakeazneD525, how are you?07:57
TheFakeazneD525so I have wine installed, and I want swf files to play with a windows standalone flashplayer07:57
TheFakeazneD525should I make the file association such that it executes wine /path/to/flashplayer ?07:57
TheFakeazneD525also I'm good, you?07:57
lordievaderNo idea, I dislike Wine quite a bit.07:58
lordievaderBut I am doing good though ;)07:58
lordievaderBesides Linux has stand alone flash players.07:59
TheFakeazneD525they're very alpha-stage though :c08:02
lordievaderGnash is allright IIRC.08:03
lordievaderBetter than using Wine, but then again, anything is...08:03
Fyrguys! why does kubuntu 14.10 KDE 5 not run in VirtualBox?08:50

ubottuThere are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications08:58

anderslI find it very difficult to use kubuntu software system. I desperately try to get a up to date version of digikam, which should be available in something like "phillips ppa". I thought I added that to the software thingy, but I STILL have only an outdated digikam version.16:07
anderslIs it possible to somehow get a up to date application without having to compile it from source?16:07
luc4you mean 4.3.0?16:08
luc4andersl: I installed it without issues. Try with this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/digikam-4-3-install-in-ubuntu-1404/.16:10
anderslluc4: 4.3.0 is outdated. The current version is 4.5, and due to the huge amount of bugs in the 4.x series, updating is crusial16:11
andersl4.3 is horrible16:11
luc4andersl: that seems to be a development version16:14
luc4andersl: I built 4.4 last week or so. What makes you think it is in that ppa?16:15
anderslhm, sorry - 4.3 is current... I just have to wait for them to fix more issues  :\16:18

skinuxHow do we tell KDE to show icons on the desktop?16:55
Krixvarskinux: what kind of icons?16:58
skinuxDesktop icons16:58
skinuxAll there is, is a blue background and "Desktop" link in top right.16:58
skinuxEvery other desktop environment has desktop shortcuts, why not KDE by default?16:59
veqzI guess it felt more clean that way? Also, it is possible to use several Folder widgets at the same time to show different folders17:00
veqzanyways, to get the desktop shortcuts:17:00
veqzright-click on desktop -> Default Desktop Settings17:01
veqzswitch Layout from "Default Desktop" to "Folder"17:01
veqzclick OK17:01
skinuxWoah! Just looking at my CPU usage. Both cores are near 100%, RAM 86% and SWAP at 23%. Doesn't look good at all.17:02
veqzwhat are you running?17:02
skinuxWhat do you mean?17:02
veqzto run two cores at ~100% :)17:03
skinuxChrome, Firefox, Terminal, Sublime Text, and HexChat. In system tray: Skype, Weather, System monitor, DropBox17:03
veqzhuh. strange. that's close to what I'm running atm, and everything seems calm here17:04
veqzdid you get your desktop icons btw?17:04
skinuxChrome/tabs/extensions are using 958,044 memory17:06
skinuxYes, thank you.17:07
veqzhaha ok :)17:07
=== sarah is now known as Guest76712
veqzI'm usually using Opear with 40+ tabs myself, but I just cleaned up, and am down to a measely 4 open tabs atm17:08
Guest76712what is best chat for help with linux? Have some questions on permissions17:08
skinuxHow do you even have the space for 40 tabs? How do you need so many tabs anyway???17:08
skinux#linux17:08
skinuxGuest76712: Your client probably has a channel list feature.17:09
skinuxUnless you use a web-based client, in which case probably not.17:09
veqzthe tabs get rather tiny, but the rightmost tabs are usually about what I'm currently working on, and further to the left are tabs for projects I'm not working on right at this moment, but which I keep open to remind myself of what I was doing :P17:10
* skinux I've wanted to contribute such features to web-based IRC projects. Too bad I've never thought I had the time.17:10
skinuxveqz: Why not just bookmark stuff you're not actively using?17:11
skinuxI wish there were a some kind of website to compare various usages with that of others to determine where usage could be cut-back.17:11
veqzcause then it feels like I've "concluded" some task. if I keep the tabs open, they're still in my "working memory", so to say17:12
skinuxThat makes sense.17:21
skinuxIf I keep too many tabs open, I try to do everything at once and end up getting nothing done.17:22

mackieHowdy. I'm presently running Kubuntu, but I'm finding KDE a bit too resource-intensive for my (old, old) hardware. I'm trying to install lxde, and folks in #linux said I'll need to "clean up after" KDE. Through a short and frustrating journey I find myself directed here. How do I "clean up after" KDE?17:59
soee_maybe try to remove kubuntu-desktop package18:00
mackieI'll try that.18:00
mackieI feel like I should restart first...18:04
mackieProbably a good idea?18:05
TheFakeazneD525mackie: you should also remove most of the widgets18:05
TheFakeazneD525if not all18:05
TheFakeazneD525and unload KRunner plugins18:05
mackieOh. That sounds like a good idea. Do I need to do all that manually, or is there a straightforward way to go about it?18:06
TheFakeazneD525er, there are probably guides online...18:06
TheFakeazneD525I have to go, but maybe someone else can help18:06
mackieOkies. Thanks.18:06
TheFakeazneD525search "manage krunner plugins" "manage plasma desktop widgets" and "make KDE faster"18:06
mackieMy google fu is AWFUL.18:06
TheFakeazneD525mackie: and always reboot after doing stuff with a lot of packages18:06
