gonssalHi. Since a couple of days ago, Akregator permanently freezes everytime I start it or I switch to its tab in Kontact. The errors when I launch it from console can be found here: http://pastebin.com/530ZumxE05:47
gonssalAny ideas why this is happening? I didn't change anything, just started happening.05:47
gonssalAlso it keeps eating 50% CPU while freezed.05:50

ussher_I've just installed Kubuntu 14.04 LTS.  When i reboot it works fine until up to the login screen, then the loader icons.   After that the screen fails like the graphics drivers are wrong and I cant see anythign except colors.  I can get to ctrl+alt+F1 from the login screen, but if i use the GUI, after it logsin ctrl+alt+F1 stops working.  ideas?06:25

LynoureIs there a good Activities Howto somewhere?09:42
WalexLynoure: hopefully not :-)09:45
LynoureWalex: why?09:46
WalexLynoure: activities are of somewhat questionable value I think.09:46
WalexLynoure: they are one of those fancy ideas that look fine but are not that useful in practice.09:47
LynoureWalex: As someone who has one laptop for work and private life, I would find them very useful09:47
WalexLynoure: I would recommend something far more radical then...09:47
LynoureWalex: but people say things like one being able to have same apps in different states in different activities, and I have not found quite how. or even how to get windows without title bar into a spesific activity09:48
WalexLynoure: you can run *two* X servers with two KDEs and different logins09:48
lordievaderLynoure: I agree, it is nice to get a separation in your tasks.09:48
LynoureWalex: that adds a lot of time waste in switching.09:48
lordievaderRunning two X servers is just plain ugly.09:48
lordievaderAnd asking for trouble.09:49
WalexLynoure: problem is all the activity-specific stuff works only for KDE apps, and I never use *just* KDE apps.09:49
lordievaderhttps://userbase.kde.org/Plasma#Activities09:49
lordievaderWalex: Activity specific stuff?09:49
LynoureWalex: I wonder if there would be a way to change that, somehow.09:49
WalexLynoure: the difficulty is that the config is not activity-dependent09:50
lordievaderWalex: Firefox, chromium, thunderbird, virt-manager work fine with activities.09:50
Lynourelordievader: I have not found a way to get Chromium do different user profiles in each... but I have not yet tried making a different alias that uses different config dir.09:51
Lynourelordievader: that's not quite a detailed howto. :)09:51
lordievaderI know...09:52
Lynourewith Chromium+hangouts, I cannot even tell what Activity the hangouts window should go to (as no title bar)09:52
lordievaderLynoure: That you can enable.09:52
LynoureThere is probably some trick, I just don't know.09:52
lordievaderLynoure: Right click and set it to use system borders.09:52
Lynourelordievader: right click does nothing09:53
lordievaderLynoure: Right click the space next to the tabs.09:53
Lynourelordievader: what tabs?09:54
Lynourelordievader: I mean the hangouts window09:54
lordievaderAh, I thought you were talking about Chromium...09:54
Lynourelordievader: the one that is a gray box with (")09:54
lordievaderI never use Hangouts.09:54
Lynourelordievader: I have the same problem with steam09:54
lordievaderHehe, another thing I do not use.09:55

cmt29In the wicd wireless_settings.conf file, the manpage says that use_settings_globally should be 0|1. The KDE WICD gui automatically configures this as False|True. Does this matter?14:21
ngaiowhat is the expected way to launch Qt Assistant when I have only Qt 5 development files installed? On my system I have /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/assistant (which works), and /usr/bin/assistant (which is looking for the Qt 4 version, and fails)14:50

akiva-thinkpadexcept support questions, like how can I clear my browser cache15:12
ngaioakiva-thinkpad, is it a good place to ask how to submit a bug report regarding a kernel crash?15:15
Captain_Haddockakiva-thinkpad: Thanks.15:15
akiva-thinkpadngaio, Not a bad question; you would get an answer, but not a tutorial if that makes sense :)15:15
ngaioakiva-thinkpad, is there a tutorial already up somewhere? I read about it a few weeks ago, but I got lost in all the detail15:16
akiva-thinkpadngaio, woah good question... I think you may be best to ask on #ubuntu-kernel15:16
ngaioakiva-thinkpad, okay great thanks! I'll do that15:17
akiva-thinkpadngaio, Likewise; Submitting a good quality bug report is very important to the open source eco system.15:18
ngaioakiva-thinkpad, I agree! I have an external USB 3 drive that crashes the kernel 14.10 every time I insert. I'll now see if it does the same on 15.04. If I go offline then you know why hehehe15:22

beakusHello, I am trying to get my dual monitors going but system settings montitor/display does not give me the option20:47
beakusIs there another way I can set up dual monitors, like command line?20:48
lordievaderbeakus: How are they connected?20:49
beakusthrough the monitor plug thingy20:50
beakusBoth to my desktop20:50
lordievaderbeakus: Physically I mean.20:50
beakusI never had this issue with them before20:50
beakusIt has 18 pins20:52
beakusand a horizontal line20:52
beakusSo those times two20:52
lordievaderbeakus: Vga, dvi, hdmi, display-port, etc...20:53
beakusMaybe I need another distro, this distro probably stopped supporting dual monitors...20:54
beakusWho uses that anymore?20:54
lordievaderbeakus: Can you answer my questions please?20:55
beakusthe thing with the 18 pins and t he horizontal lines20:56
beakusdvi20:56

beakusNo protocol specified20:57
beakusCan't open display :020:57
lordievaderbeakus: Do you have X running?20:58
beakusyeah20:58
rberg_are you running xrandr as a different user then you are logged in as?20:58
beakusno20:59
beakusjust the one user, me20:59
rberg_and not running it as root?20:59
beakusno, just me20:59
rberg_ok, becuase that can cause the error you got20:59
beakuswhen I get into terminal, I still have to do sudo su21:00
lordievaderbeakus: There is the error.21:00
lordievaderWhy are you doing that?21:00
beakusIf I need to make a material change to the system, I do it as root21:00
beakusLike install stuff21:00
lordievaderbeakus: But you don't need it now. Just run xrandr as a mortal user.21:01
rberg_if you insist on running xrandr as root then as your user run "xhost +"21:01
lordievaderDon't run xrandr as root, that is simply a bad idea.21:02
beakushttp://pastebin.com/h2KkcyPZ21:03
lordievaderHmm, kscreen should detect them just fine. Anyhow with xrandr you can configure your displays from the command line: man xrandr21:04
beakusugh21:07
beakusThere is no kscreen21:09
beakusjust display and monitor21:09
beakusmust be a kde bug21:10
lordievaderbeakus: That is kscreen ;)21:10
