NaproxenoHello everyone. Package kubuntu-desktop is broken for me after the last update to backports PPA: http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2014/kubuntu-kde-plasma-5-1-1-utopic-backport-ready-and-other-news/10:43
NaproxenoUpdating plasma-desktop has uninstalled packages from "KDE 4" (I know that's not the right terminology) but I can't install kubuntu-desktop again either10:45
Riddellbeluga_: you're from libreoffice qa team?11:21

xieyidoes anyone use netbeans on kubuntu 14.10?11:28
hateballMost certainly someone does11:30
hateballxieyi: are you taking a poll or do you have a question?11:30
xieyihateball: I cant launch my netbeans on 14.1011:30
xieyiI tried the several method provided on the web11:31
xieyiand havent got it launched11:31
xieyiI want to make sure whether it is a bug or an independent problem11:32
hateballxieyi: Did you install it from the repos or... ?11:33
xieyiyeah11:33
xieyiactually I tried to reinstall it several times11:33
xieyiit has been installed since the last version11:33
hateballxieyi: Launching it from a terminal, do you get any errors?11:33
hateballI don't have a 14.10 machine handy right now11:33
xieyijava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/nio/file/InvalidPathException11:34

xieyi...11:34
xieyiand several lines following11:34
hateballWell, now you've provided more information so perhaps some knows and can help at least11:35
xieyiI hope so11:36
hateballxieyi: Is this a clean install or upgrade?11:38
xieyiupgrade11:38
xieyibut I uninstalled netbeans11:38
xieyiand tried to install again to solve the problem11:39
xieyibuy nothing changed11:39
hateballxieyi: are all the dependencies properly installed, like jdk?11:40
xieyisure11:40
xieyiI use jdk for daily work11:40
yossarianukxieyi: one thing to try is to purge the package then reinstall11:51
yossarianuki.e11:51
xieyihow to do it? I uninstalled it before11:52
yossarianukapt-get --purge remove packagename  - then - apt-get install packagename11:52
yossarianuktry with --purge.11:52
yossarianukits worth a go.11:52
xieyiI will try it thx11:52
hateballI'm not familiar with netbeans, perhaps it stores things in ~/.config/netbeans or some such, and that settings from an older version are incompatible or whatever11:53
hateballif so, backup that stuff and start fresh just to try11:54
yossarianukor add a temp new user and try from that user11:54
xieyipurging doesnt help. I will try to remove the config directory11:54
yossarianuk<< also not used netbeans previously11:54
yossarianukok - well worth a shot..11:54
xieyiremoving the config directory cant solve the problem either11:55
xieyibut thx11:55
hateballtricky11:58
hateballquestion is if it can be re-produced on a fresh system, but sadly I have none such available11:59
xieyiyeah, I am wondering about that11:59
xieyiIt seems like a bug of the new version11:59
xieyiat least a bug of version upgrade12:00
xieyiand another tool ruined when i upgrade to 14.0412:02
xieyikdbg12:02
xieyicant be used since last upgrade12:02
hateballxieyi: ruined how, as in does not start?12:04
xieyiit crashes once being launched12:05
xieyiMNG error 11: Function is invalid at this point; chunk MHDR; subcode 0:012:05
xieyithis is the error message12:05
hateballnice, I see it segfaults for me as well on 14.0412:06
hateballxieyi: I'd file a bug on launchpad if I were you12:06
xieyiwhere can i file the bug?12:07

BluesKaj!kde-active | Linnak12:32
Linnak!kda-active12:32
Linnak!kde-active12:32
LinnakNothing12:32
BluesKajlook it up in the software center12:33
hateballLinnak: it's meant for tablets/notebooks12:33
hateballerr... netbooks12:33
hateballlike, small touchscreen stuff12:33
hateballit's just another plasma shell12:33
LinnakNo. I'm installing Ubuntu Minimal CD, and there are three kde options at added packages: 1 kde-actice 2. kde-desktop 3. kde-full12:34
LinnakI found nothing about kde-active12:34
hateballYes, so you choose if you want plasma active or plasma desktop12:34
hateballor the whole she-bang12:35
BluesKajLinnak, maybe the term is incorrect12:35
LinnakA couple of minutes and I will see it again because I reinstall it in virtualbox12:35
LinnakI want to install the least KDE apps. I like the look but I want the apps that I choose12:36
LinnakOkay here is the three option1. kubuntu active2 kubuntu desktop 3kubuntu full12:49
BluesKajkubuntu-desktop12:50
LinnakThe question was what is kubuntu active12:52
LinnakAnother question if i remove an app which comes with ubuntu desktop will it remove the whole desktop?12:53
BluesKajthat question was answered, same as kde-active12:53
BluesKajdepends which app12:54
LinnakAll right thanks12:55

lelamalHi all. Kubuntu doesn't automount my external HDs anymore, since I reinstalled it, although everything seems to be set correctly in System Settings. Can anyone give me a helping hand, please?14:45
EvilRoeylelamal:  same here15:19
EvilRoeyI did dmesg after I re-plugged it back in, and the kernel apparently doesn't see it.15:19
lelamalIt's annoying Kubuntu doesn't automatically mount my external hard drive after a fresh install, because Ktorrent and aMule complain at startup as they don't detect the storage volume15:22
yossarianuklelamal: it won't you need to add a fstab entry15:22
yossarianukby default kubutu will not mount all stoarge.15:23
lelamalyossarianuk: I thought it was enough to set "Enable automatic mounting of removable media" in System Settings, to have my external HD mounted at start up. In the past, it used to work. It's like the system is ignoring my setting, then, isn't it?15:25
=== helene is now known as Guest18741
yossarianuklelamal: not seen that setting myself...15:28
yossarianukin that case ensure you do NOT have an fstab entry15:29
yossarianukfor the device15:29
=== spawnie is now known as DeadS0ul
lelamalyossarianuk: I just checked it, and there's no entry in fstab for my external HD15:31
yossarianukok - well you 'could' add one - however that could be bad - say the drive was removed your system may not boot - it sounds like a function isn't working, you could report a bug?15:33
lelamalyossarianuk: ok, thank you for your support. I will report it. I would be grateful if anyone else could shed some light on this issue, meanwhile. Thank you!15:36
BluesKajlelamal, I haven't added an entry for the external drive, but it should show up in the devices in dolphin by default15:38
BluesKajI mean added an entry in fstab that is15:39
lelamalYes, there's an entry for that. Also, I can see the HD in the Device Notifier. That's where I manually mount it, after Ktorrent and aMule complain about the missing drive.15:40
lelamalBluesKaj: but still, I would prefer it to be automatically mounted at startup, like it used to be in the past releases.15:41
BluesKajktorrent doesn't like to use the external as target for files IME15:41
BluesKajlelamal, I'm testing 15.04 and the external automounts without any issue\15:42
lelamalBluesKaj: I see...15:43
BluesKajlelamal, I've switched to qbittorent and no longer have that issue15:43
lelamalBluesKaj: the issue is not that Ktorrent complains, it has all the rights to complain if it doesn't find the drive when the application starts :)15:45
BluesKajagreed but I had probs with 14.10 and ktorrent putting the downloaded file in the external drive15:46
lelamalI see15:47
lelamalI may switch to the application you suggested.15:47
lelamalBut still, I would have that automount issue.15:48
BluesKajsometimes running sudo blkid helps, but I'm not certain15:50
BluesKajautomount seems kind of a flaky issue in 14.04 and 14.1015:52
lelamalBluesKaj: Thank you for your time. I did that, and now am going to restart to check if anything changed.15:53
BluesKajlelamal, ok , good luck:)15:54
lelamalI'm back. Just wanted to say that BluesKaj's suggestion didn't work, for the benefit of anyone who was following the chat. Thanks anyway, I will report a bug against it.16:01

PasNoxwhat i can do to make it works correctly ? i did not find a way to list ip's instead of hostnames19:10
lordievaderPasNox: Does 'nslookup FREEBOX' resolve?19:25
PasNoxlordievader: yes it does19:25
PasNoxlordievader: ho sorry, no it does not, but nmblookup FREEBOX does19:26
lordievaderPasNox: Does 'FREEBOX.local' resolve?19:27
lordievaderPasNox: Also how are you trying to mount it?19:27
PasNox.local no better luck.19:28

PasNoxlordievader: 192.168.1.254 FREEBOX<00>19:35

PasNoxlordievader: http://paste.opensuse.org/2063216219:36
lordievaderPasNox: That is the reason he cannot look it up. Add the host name to /etc/hosts or use it's ip.19:38
PasNoxlordievader: i would like to avoid the need of editing system files because the application as to works as is within all the computers running it19:39
PasNoxi will use nmblookup to resolve names then :/19:39
PasNoxthank you!19:39
PasNoxlordievader: in the other hand, any possible command so see ip instead of names in smbtree ? the man page does not seems to have that19:40
lordievaderRarely, to never, use smbtree.19:41
PasNoxxD ok, so i will probably use libsmb directly. ;)19:42

m_tadeualoo_shu: maybe...what kind of help do you need?22:53
aloo_shum_tadeu , I have a book in plain text format. I opened it with LO Writer and so far have converted the part, sub-part and chapter titles into header1, header2, header3 within the default style. Also, I have placed footers under all pages and numbered the pages there. Now I want to create a table of contents.23:03

m_tadeualoo_shu: I never did such a thing....and my guess is that the dictionary (for ortographic error detection) don't belong to LO but to the system...just a guess23:17
aloo_shubiiiiig thanks m_tadeu , cosmetics apart, this did exactly what I wanted. Now I want to know WHY it worked, but that's for an other day23:29

m_tadeualoo_shu: from the TOC sounds interesting....almost like the doors to spiritual perception23:44
aloo_shuwell, m_tadeu , it does not work from one day to the other, but it's much more practical than huxley,leary&co. Have you downloaded it, so that I can take the link away?23:51
