soeegood morning07:14
jcrbI'm always surprised that kubuntu is not more popular.07:38
valoriein competition with what, jcrb?07:38
inna.07:39
soeeoh dont worry we have plan to rule teh world :)07:40
jcrbubuntu, arch, even opensuse (seems to a fair number of them at forum.kde.org)07:43
valoriewe are part of ubuntu07:44
valorieif you mean unity, they have money, while we are community produced07:44
valorieSuse and Redhat support opensuse and fedora07:44
valoriewhile ubuntu doesn't really do that anymore07:45
valoriethank goodness for Blue Systems07:46
jcrbhasn't there been debate about changing the name from kubuntu?07:46
valorieif we do that, we won't be a flavor of ubuntu any more07:47
jcrbwell yeah07:47
jcrbnot saying it is a good idea, but I know there's some tension there07:48
valorienot really tension, but perhaps a bit of apprehension07:48
valorieparticularly if there are problems with Mir07:48
jcrbhmm. anyway, bedtime07:49

rubenmzHi, there! I'm having problems with kde / kubuntu.  The question is that I can't start kde with my user, with a new one there is no problem.11:51
lordievaderrubenmz: Do you get errors?11:52
rubenmzWell, yesterday after upgrading a few packages (systemd-shim among them) my session had frozen and now when kde starts the session kills after shown de disk icon at the initial kde splash.11:54
lordievaderrubenmz: Is your ~/.xsession-errors getting filled?11:55
rubenmzI have upgraded recently ( last week) to kubuntu 14.10 and kde 4.14.1.  I don't know how to debug kde to see what cause the error. The .xsession-error shows an error about gpg-agent post-stop11:58
lordievaderrubenmz: Hmm, well you can rename your ~/.kde and see if that solves it (note this resets your KDE settings)12:00
=== MadCommieScienti is now known as jubo2
rubenmzYes, I'm with an other user and  I'm seeing that kde works, but I'd like to see what causes the problem. Is there any way to get more information about what is happening in  kde?12:02
rubenmzIs there any way to remove the session saved but not my kde apps configuration?12:03
lordievaderrubenmz: You could run startx from a tty and see if that gives you a hint.12:04
BluesKajHiya folks12:05
rubenmzYes, I'm trying startx with a .xinitrc file with an xterm, but without luck. The X closes without an clear error.12:06
lordievaderrubenmz: Err I meant startkde.12:08
lordievaderOr put 'startkde' in .xinitrc.12:08
rubenmzlordievader:  I'll try again, thank you.12:10
rubenmzlordievader:  I've juts do it and got a lot of output (posted at http://pastebin.com/NAFAeBtj).  The problem persist, after showing the disk icon the display goes blank.12:24
lordievaderrubenmz: Ultimately you kill X?12:25
rubenmzI've done a control-C to the startx process when (aprox.) the screen goes dark. But the X process ramains at normal start up.12:26
lordievader Ok, that explains the end of your paste.12:28
lordievaderrubenmz: Read lines 518-521 X dies there.12:30

rubenmzlordievader: Hi, I've been watching that errors. Removed file about xfce and no difference. About jockey-kde, it is installed the packet ubuntu-drivers-common instead of jockey. Removed the instances of jockey at plasma-desktop-appletsrc. The problem persist.13:06
madeti_androidI have installed plasma 5 on kubuntu 14.10 through next ppa13:13
madeti_androidHow can I remove it and install plasma 413:13
lordievadermadeti_android: Use ppapurge, but expect breakage.13:14
=== kbroulik-lunch is now known as kbroulik
madeti_androidUse it to remove the ppa, then? What all packages to remove?13:15
lordievadermadeti_android: Ppapurge will remove/downgrade all the packages from the ppa for you.13:16
madeti_androidOK, ty13:16
madeti_androidlordievader, after purge, do I need to install package kubuntu-desktop? Or is it automatically installed13:21
lordievadermadeti_android: That should be downgraded.13:22
madeti_androidok13:22
rubenmzlordievader:  Still, the same error. Do you thin that upgrading to kde 14.10.2 could be any help or could be worsen? Any other advice?13:27
lordievaderrubenmz: I'd rename your ~/.kde13:33
madetilordievader: ok, ppa-purged, now everything is working fine, but I see plasma 5 icons for everything, do I need to worry about it or is it fine?13:42

diego___I am new in IRC chat.  I have a problem starting Kubuntu.  Am I in the right place?16:13
lordievaderdiego___: Jup, what seems to be the problem?16:14
diego___After doing an update, the startup won't go past the splash screen.16:14
diego___it's not frozen, as the mouse pointer moves, but my session won't start.16:15
diego___I have tried login in with a guest account and nothing.16:16
lordievaderdiego___: Nothing as in, can't login? Black screen?16:16
diego___I also tried using the boot menu but wasn't really sure how to follow.16:16
diego___Nothing as in blue kubuntu splash screen with mouse moving, and that's it.16:16
lordievaderdiego___: Do you get to a login screen?16:17
diego___Right now, I used a USB trial boot.16:17
diego___Yes, my user and profile picture appear.  It even recognizes my password.16:18
lordievaderdiego___: Ok, drop to a tty (crtl + alt + f1) and start kde by running 'startkde'.16:19
diego___before I do that... will I be able to come back to this session, is it ctrl + alt +f7?16:19
diego___unfortunately I don't have another computer with me to do the fix while I communicate.16:20
diego___or to communicate while I try to fix it....16:21
lordievaderdiego___: Yes, err what session do you currently have?16:22
diego___14.0416:22
diego___$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server16:23
diego___I got that message.16:23
lordievaderdiego___: Hmm, make it 'startx'. I'm confused, you can't login but yet you have quassel open...?16:24
diego___Right.. =S   I am using a USB boot. But I wouldn't know if I can access my own filesystem.16:26
lordievaderdiego___: Ah, then this is entirely point less.16:27
diego___sorry.  would you know if I can start a "safe" session from the boot system?16:28
lordievaderdiego___: What graphics card do you run?16:28
diego___I wouldn't know.  I haven't made any changes to the graphics driver.16:29
diego___though16:29
diego___I remember not being nvidia, but that's it.16:30
diego___From Lenovo website, it may be an Intel Video Driver.  Would that make sense?16:31
diego___By the way, thanks for walking me through this.16:32
lordievaderdiego___: Can you open a teminal and read me the output of 'lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA'?16:32
diego___00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)16:33
diego___        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 390416:33
diego___        Kernel driver in use: i91516:33
lordievaderHmm, those things usually just work...16:35
lordievaderBoot into the recovery mode and run 'apt-get update&&apt-get dist-upgrade'.16:35

azpirateHi there, I have an older laptop (HP/Compaq NC4010) which has a Intel Pentium M processor running at 1.6 GB (400MHz FSB) and from what I have been reading the Kubunto Hardy 8.04 will run fine on this computer without the PAE issues as with Mint and so on so my questions are. 1. Is this true, will the Hardy run on my machine? 2. If so, where can I download a copy? The download page only lets me see the newest versions.16:41

BluesKajlovesh, some love it, but won't admit that it's still quite buggy16:48
loveshon my kubuntu 14.10 kde 5 plasmashell, google chrome, dolphin take too much resources16:48

loveshshould i switch back to kde 4?16:49
loveshand is dolphin even present in plasma 5?16:50
diego_@lordievader, I tried what you told me but there seems to be another issue.  I couldn't get into recovery mode.16:53
diego_Earlier I could, but this time I got a message like16:54
diego_EFI Network 0 for IPv4 failed.... something like that.16:54
lordievaderdiego_: Whoo, UEFI. I must say I have no experience with UEFI. You did find the recovery mode option?16:56
diego_Yes, but it was the same as the normal startup.16:59
diego_Do you think this is getting out of control?17:00
lordievaderdiego_: You should get a recovery menu.17:01
diego_I did earlier.  But I couldn't find it this time.  I don't think I changed anything big.17:02
BluesKajlordievader, yes dolphin should be installed by default on plasma517:05
BluesKajoops lovesh17:05

BluesKajwell i usually hang around until i get a reponse od some kind17:09
BluesKajof17:09
lordievaderdiego_: Booting in the recovery mode should give you the menu ;)17:09
diego_@lordievader  I mean, I got the recovery mode, but starting that option didn't make a difference.   =$17:11
rom1504BluesKaj: yeah me too, but so many people come, ask a question, wait 3min, and leave17:11

Guest78674how do u knw the name 'openjdk-7-jdk'?18:11
RobinHood2015I've used 'openjdk-7-jre' before, because I haven't had the need to develop Java applications, only to run them.18:12
Guest78674ok personal knowlegde18:14
Guest78674maybe ill get this in future too ^^18:14
RobinHood2015Well, are you looking to develop Java apps or just run them? Because if you just need to run them, you need 'openjdk-7-jre.' For viewing Java applets in a Web browser, you also need 'icedtea-7-plugin.' But I would not recommend 'openjdk-8-jre' or 'openjdk-8-jdk' with 'icedtea-7-plugin' because openjdk8 doesn't seem to work seamlessly with icedtea7, and there's no icedtea8 available yet.18:16
=== administrator is now known as Guest36973
RobinHood2015But if you just need to run or develop Java apps WITHOUT running Java in your BROWSER, then 'openjdk-8-jre' or 'openjdk-8-jdk' should work just fine, so long as you don't install 'icedtea-7-plugin'.18:19
