[05:47] <gonssal> Hi. 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/530ZumxE
[05:47] <gonssal> Any ideas why this is happening? I didn't change anything, just started happening.
[05:50] <gonssal> Also it keeps eating 50% CPU while freezed.
[06:25] <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?

[08:38] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:42] <Lynoure> Is there a good Activities Howto somewhere?
[09:45] <Walex> Lynoure: hopefully not :-)
[09:46] <Lynoure> Walex: why?
[09:46] <Walex> Lynoure: activities are of somewhat questionable value I think.
[09:47] <Walex> Lynoure: they are one of those fancy ideas that look fine but are not that useful in practice.
[09:47] <Lynoure> Walex: As someone who has one laptop for work and private life, I would find them very useful
[09:47] <Walex> Lynoure: I would recommend something far more radical then...
[09:48] <Lynoure> Walex: 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 activity
[09:48] <Walex> Lynoure: you can run *two* X servers with two KDEs and different logins
[09:48] <lordievader> Lynoure: I agree, it is nice to get a separation in your tasks.
[09:48] <Lynoure> Walex: that adds a lot of time waste in switching.
[09:48] <lordievader> Running two X servers is just plain ugly.
[09:49] <lordievader> And asking for trouble.
[09:49] <Walex> Lynoure: problem is all the activity-specific stuff works only for KDE apps, and I never use *just* KDE apps.
[09:49] <lordievader> https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma#Activities
[09:49] <lordievader> Walex: Activity specific stuff?
[09:49] <Lynoure> Walex: I wonder if there would be a way to change that, somehow.
[09:50] <Walex> Lynoure: the difficulty is that the config is not activity-dependent
[09:50] <lordievader> Walex: Firefox, chromium, thunderbird, virt-manager work fine with activities.
[09:51] <Lynoure> lordievader: 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] <Lynoure> lordievader: that's not quite a detailed howto. :)
[09:52] <lordievader> I know...
[09:52] <Lynoure> with Chromium+hangouts, I cannot even tell what Activity the hangouts window should go to (as no title bar)
[09:52] <lordievader> Lynoure: That you can enable.
[09:52] <Lynoure> There is probably some trick, I just don't know.
[09:52] <lordievader> Lynoure: Right click and set it to use system borders.
[09:53] <Lynoure> lordievader: right click does nothing
[09:53] <lordievader> Lynoure: Right click the space next to the tabs.
[09:54] <Lynoure> lordievader: what tabs?
[09:54] <Lynoure> lordievader: I mean the hangouts window
[09:54] <lordievader> Ah, I thought you were talking about Chromium...
[09:54] <Lynoure> lordievader: the one that is a gray box with (")
[09:54] <lordievader> I never use Hangouts.
[09:54] <Lynoure> lordievader: I have the same problem with steam
[09:55] <lordievader> Hehe, another thing I do not use.
[09:57] <kass> Hi , who is from france ?
[10:00] <lordievader> !france
[10:00] <lordievader> kass: Probably people in #ubuntu-fr ;)
[10:08] <kass> thanks .
[10:48] <soee> good morning
[10:49] <lordievader> Hey soee
[11:59] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:21] <cmt29> In 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?
[14:50] <ngaio> what 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)
[15:00] <vigneshrajkumar> test
[15:05] <pet0> hello
[15:05] <pet0> is there a way to get photos of iphone without installing apple software?
[15:08] <Captain_Haddock> pet0: What happens when you plug the iPhone into your Kubuntu box's USB port?
[15:09] <akiva-thinkpad> Hey all: Live Ask Ubuntu Anything live in 50 minutes: http://ubuntuonair.com | #ubuntu-on-air
[15:10] <Captain_Haddock> What does that mean akiva-thinkpad?
[15:11] <akiva-thinkpad> Captain_Haddock, its a google plus live session where you can ask the engineers of ubuntu any question,
[15:12] <akiva-thinkpad> except support questions, like how can I clear my browser cache
[15:15] <ngaio> akiva-thinkpad, is it a good place to ask how to submit a bug report regarding a kernel crash?
[15:15] <Captain_Haddock> akiva-thinkpad: Thanks.
[15:15] <akiva-thinkpad> ngaio, Not a bad question; you would get an answer, but not a tutorial if that makes sense :)
[15:16] <ngaio> akiva-thinkpad, is there a tutorial already up somewhere? I read about it a few weeks ago, but I got lost in all the detail
[15:16] <akiva-thinkpad> ngaio, woah good question... I think you may be best to ask on #ubuntu-kernel
[15:17] <ngaio> akiva-thinkpad, okay great thanks! I'll do that
[15:18] <akiva-thinkpad> ngaio, Likewise; Submitting a good quality bug report is very important to the open source eco system.
[15:22] <ngaio> akiva-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 hehehe
[15:23] <spawn57> lol
[15:23] <akiva-thinkpad> ha
[15:23] <akiva-thinkpad> :S
[15:24] <ngaio> oh wow it didn't crash... very good :-)
[15:32] <pet0> Captain_Haddock: the photos folder seemed to be there but was empty
[15:32] <pet0> gphoto2 downloaded the photos tho
[16:54] <mevar> CIAOOOOOOO
[16:55] <genii> !it
[17:48] <MMAAUU> CIAOOOO
[18:13] <MrSassyPants> I may have shot up my NetworkManager config, it no longer seems to work. How do I make it work again? (And I mean the kde applet that lets me look up & join wireless networks and stuff)
[18:22] <MMAAUU> CIAOOO
[18:22] <MMAAUU> !LIST
[20:47] <beakus> Hello, I am trying to get my dual monitors going but system settings montitor/display does not give me the option
[20:48] <beakus> Is there another way I can set up dual monitors, like command line?
[20:49] <lordievader> beakus: How are they connected?
[20:50] <beakus> through the monitor plug thingy
[20:50] <beakus> Both to my desktop
[20:50] <lordievader> beakus: Physically I mean.
[20:50] <beakus> I never had this issue with them before
[20:52] <beakus> It has 18 pins
[20:52] <beakus> and a horizontal line
[20:52] <beakus> So those times two
[20:53] <lordievader> beakus: Vga, dvi, hdmi, display-port, etc...
[20:54] <beakus> Maybe I need another distro, this distro probably stopped supporting dual monitors...
[20:54] <beakus> Who uses that anymore?
[20:55] <lordievader> beakus: Can you answer my questions please?
[20:56] <beakus> the thing with the 18 pins and t he horizontal lines
[20:56] <beakus> dvi
[20:56] <lordievader> beakus: This one? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/DVI_Connector_Types.svg/2000px-DVI_Connector_Types.svg.png
[20:56] <beakus> dvi
[20:57] <lordievader> beakus: Right, okay. What is the output of 'xrandr'?
[20:57] <lordievader> !paste | beakus
[20:57] <beakus> No protocol specified
[20:57] <beakus> Can't open display :0
[20:58] <lordievader> beakus: Do you have X running?
[20:58] <beakus> yeah
[20:58] <rberg_> are you running xrandr as a different user then you are logged in as?
[20:59] <beakus> no
[20:59] <beakus> just the one user, me
[20:59] <rberg_> and not running it as root?
[20:59] <beakus> no, just me
[20:59] <rberg_> ok, becuase that can cause the error you got
[21:00] <beakus> when I get into terminal, I still have to do sudo su
[21:00] <lordievader> beakus: There is the error.
[21:00] <lordievader> Why are you doing that?
[21:00] <beakus> If I need to make a material change to the system, I do it as root
[21:00] <beakus> Like install stuff
[21:01] <lordievader> beakus: 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 +"
[21:02] <lordievader> Don't run xrandr as root, that is simply a bad idea.
[21:03] <beakus> http://pastebin.com/h2KkcyPZ
[21:04] <lordievader> Hmm, kscreen should detect them just fine. Anyhow with xrandr you can configure your displays from the command line: man xrandr
[21:07] <beakus> ugh
[21:09] <beakus> There is no kscreen
[21:09] <beakus> just display and monitor
[21:10] <beakus> must be a kde bug
[21:10] <lordievader> beakus: That is kscreen ;)
[21:19] <ehammer> Hi - I am new to linux.  I installed kubuntu on a hp2133 and really like the program but can't get my wireless card to work.  I try to activate it and it goes to 3% before it stops.  Any help would be awsome ty

[23:44] <soee> :]
[23:44] <soee> ehammer: also what Kubuntu version are you running ?
[23:45] <ehammer> one other question, I installed zorin before kubuntu and didn't realize I didn't format the drive, now when I boot I have the option of kubuntu or zorin, does anyone know how I can get rid of zorin without having to format the entire drive ty
[23:45] <ehammer> I am not sure on the version, how do I find it?
[23:46] <soee> got to System Settings -> About
