ronnocquick question - since I've been out of the loop a little bit: why was Quassel removed as default IRC client?00:15
Denza252Hmm? It was?00:16
Denza252Utopic or Vivid00:16
ronnocVivid...Koversation looks dated and doesn't even spell check that I can see.00:17
Denza252And, probably because the reason quassel was the default for a while was gone00:17
ronnocwell, I figured THAt much, Denza252 :p but was wondering why specifically, before I go download and install it.00:18
Denza252Perhaps Konversation is now on KF5 and Qt5, but Quassel has to catch up still00:20
ronnocYeah that seems likely. Caught in transition. http://quassel-irc.org/node/12600:22
geniiYes, issues currently with Quassel and QT500:23
* Denza252 slides a coffee to genii 00:24
valorieKonvi was the default, but then was not quite ready for release at KDE4 time00:24
Denza252Konvi?00:24
valorieand we didn't change back until now00:24
valorieKonversation00:25
geniiDenza252: Much appreciated00:25
ronnocI'm just mazed that Konversation does not appear to have spell check. I mean..it's 2015 after all. Ah well.00:25
valorieWe offer KDE software, and Konversation is KDE00:25
valoriequassel isn't00:25
ronnochi genii and valorie00:25
valorieyes, it does have spellcheck00:25
valoriejust turn it on00:25
valorieit always has00:25
valorieSettings > Configure Konversation00:26
ronnocright.I got that far but still not seeing it. I would expect it  be in Behavior > General if not in it's own section.00:27
valoriehmmm, I'm not seeing it either00:28
valorieha, I was wrong:00:29
valorie Turn on Auto Spell Check00:29
valorieRight click the text input line and select Auto Spell Check.00:29
ronnocyou must be a much more confident typist than me lol00:29
valorieoh, I turn it off, it is much too annoying00:29
ronnocwow..ok. that's never going to be found by a normal user lol. but ty so much.00:29
valoriegoogle found it in less than a sec00:30
valoriebut you are right, it should be in the menus also00:30
ronnocand for some reason I type faster than my bluetooth kb can apparently keep up, so it's necessary in my case00:30
ronnocI get why cut / copy / paste would be there, but spell check? not s much. Should I file a bug?00:31
ronnoc^ why I need spell check...I type too fast00:32

VolUTFanIf anyone sees Linnex come online let him know that my 14.10 Plasma5 died on me again in the middle of testing.  I am back online now, but with Plasma401:54
VolUTFancan anyone tell me toolz offhand, either GUI or terminal to synch 2 directories recursively, I know of rsync and meld already03:16

ceeplusplushi. I installed the kubuntu 14.10 kde5 preview but need help sharing an ntfs parttion on this machine over the network using samba11:03
ceeplusplusthe kcmshell commands i found dont seem to open up anything11:04
ceeplusplusi installed the ibus whihc was missing but it still doesn't open anyhting11:04
ceeplusplusi used the commands: kdesudo kcmshell fileshare and kdesudo kcmshell  samba-conf11:05
ceeplusplusneither does anything11:06
lordievaderceeplusplus: Is samba installed and configgured?11:06
ceeplusplusi installed it through dolphin11:06
ceeplusplusin the share section on the folder i want to share11:07
ceeplusplusi ran a command afterwards to install it just in case it hadnt and it said it was already installed11:07
lordievaderceeplusplus: What is the output of 'apt-cache policy samba'?11:08
lordievader!paste | ceeplusplus11:08

hyper_chwhy does kde 4.14 not autoconnect anymore to wifi?11:08
ceeplusplusi dont have acess ot the machine currently but will in a few hours11:08
ceeplusplusi will check this11:08
ceeplusplusthanks11:09
ceeplusplusi really like the new look but just got the usual hurdles with a new linux11:09
lordievaderceeplusplus: ^ Is not a fix, just the first step in troubleshooting.11:09
ceeplusplusi wish they could make it as easy as mac to shre stuff11:09
ceeplusplussure11:10
ceeplusplusim sure this is what puts off most casual users to linux11:10
lordievaderSamba is rather easy, install -> add share -> restart service, done.11:10
ceeplusplusok, will check this later. its been a while since i touched linux11:11
ceeplusplusglad to see there are still enthusiatic kubunu ists11:12
lordievader;)11:12
ceepluspluswhen i search on line for help on 14.10 kubunu there are not alot of hits!11:12
ceeplusplusi deserve to feel pain trying out a preview i'm sure :-)11:13
ceeplusplusi got hooked in by the ars technica review of kde511:14
ceeplusplusit said its a lighter version of kde411:14
ceeplusplusi think sambe need special settings if a partiton is ntfs as it doesnt support unix file permissions11:15
lordievaderceeplusplus: That could very well be true.11:16
ceeplusplusi heard a few hints on this11:16
lordievaderceeplusplus: On IRC there are enough support channels for plasma5 ;)11:16
ceeplusplushttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175657511:16
lordievaderThis channel, #kubuntu-devel, #plasma, #kde11:16
ceeplusplusthanks!11:17
lordievaderAh right, fuse...11:17
ceeplusplusi always worry when i see posts pertaining to different versions of ubuntu/kubuntu as they are often out of date11:20
ceeplusplusthe guides11:20
ceeplusplusor tips11:20
ceepluspluslordie fuse is the underlying technology to see ntfs? i thought it was ntfs-3g or something11:22
lordievaderSure there is change, but not that rapidly.11:22
ceeplusplushopefully!11:22
lordievaderceeplusplus: Fuse = filesystem in userspace: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace11:23
ceeplusplusthanks, sorry to be so lazy11:23
ceeplusplusexample uses: ntfs3g!11:25
ceeplusplusill get this installed in virtualbox to debug it11:27
ceeplusplus(plasma5)11:27
lordievaderceeplusplus: Are you running Linux?11:31
ceeplusplusmac11:32
lordievaderHmm. Else I would've recommended KVM.11:33
ceepluspluspersonally, i installed kubuntu for a mate who was having problems with windows update11:33
ceeplusplussure! i heard great stuff about it11:33
ceepluspluslike vmware for linux right?11:33
ceepluspluspassthrough and all that good stuff11:33
ceeplusplusit sits on top of a linux os, unlike its predecessor xen11:35

hyper_chwhy does kde 4.14 not autoconnect anymore to wifi?12:03
Walexhyper_ch: that is a bit of a generic question...12:06
hyper_chWalex: no idea what's generic about it12:06
Walexhyper_ch: depends on what you mean by "autoconnect"12:06
hyper_chwell, in nm you can set to autoconnect to wifis12:07
Walexhyper_ch: KDE can use NM or another couple of WiFi backends for example, so useful to know it is the KDE NM frontend you are using.12:07
hyper_chdefault one12:07
hyper_chfor kubuntu12:08
Walexhyper_ch: so the question becomes why doen't the NM backend autoconnect... unless there is a reason why the KDE NM applet stops the NM backend from autoconnecting.12:09
hyper_chthe question is why isn't it autoconnecting to wifis despite having checked the according checkbox to autoconnect12:09
Walexhyper_ch: is this a VPN connection?12:12
hyper_chit's a wifi connection12:12
Walexhyper_ch: no VPN involved?12:12
hyper_chdepends on what you mean12:12
hyper_chthere is openvpn running additionally12:12
hyper_chbut it just hooks into the network connection that's been established12:13
hyper_chbe it wifi or ethernet12:13
Walexhyper_ch: is 'openvpn' configured via Network Manager too?12:13
hyper_chand it's done through /etc/openvpn12:13
Walexhyper_ch: did you do an upgrade of other things than KDE, specifically of Network Manager?12:14
hyper_chno idea what you mean12:14
hyper_chI haven't been able to autoconnect in 14.1012:14
Walexhyper_ch: let's try a different way. Have you logged out/in and/or rebooted and/or restarted the 'network-manager' service?12:15
hyper_chWalex: not sure what you mean by that12:15
hyper_chI just boot up12:15
hyper_chif I haven't plugged in the ethernet cable12:15
hyper_chit should autoconnect to wifi12:15
hyper_chbut it doesn't12:16
Walexhyper_ch: the best way to look at it would be to look at the NetworkManager related lines in the system log as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager12:18
hyper_chWalex: if I open nm in kubuntu and select the checkbox to connect to the wifi it connects12:20
hyper_chit just doesn't do it automatically when there's no lan12:20
Walexhyper_ch: the question is whether NM finds there is a WiFi network available or not.12:21
hyper_chthe networks are shown12:21
hyper_chI just need to click the "Connect" button12:21
Walexhyper_ch: then if the WiFi becomes available why it does not enable the WiFi interface.12:21
hyper_chno idea what you mean by that12:21
Walexhyper_ch: maybe you configured the wired interface to override the WiFi ones, or maybe it is a bug in NetworkManager12:22
hyper_chI wouldn't even know how to do that12:22
lordievaderhyper_ch: Does it autoconnect when the lan is not plugged in?12:23
hyper_chlordievader: it doesn't autocnnect at all12:23
hyper_chlordievader: that's the problem... if there's no lan, it should autoconnect but it doesn't12:23
lordievaderWether you just login or not doesn't make a difference?12:24
hyper_chlordievader: yes, doesn't make a difference12:24
BluesKajHowdy all12:25
lordievaderhyper_ch: Users are allowed to connect to the set network?12:28
hyper_chlordievader: no idea what you mean12:28
lordievaderhyper_ch: Precisely what I say. There is a setting for allowing other users to connection to a network.12:29
hyper_chlordievader: all users may connect to this network?12:30
lordievaderThat's the one.12:31
hyper_chhaven't checked that12:31

For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats18:28
OerHekssudo apt-get install libdvdread4 Then open a terminal window and execute: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh and restart VLC18:28
richard28711do u type !dvd in terminal18:29
OerHeksworked for me without restart18:29
BluesKajrichard28711, install kubuntu-restricted-extras for starters18:29
richard28711what if i did all that18:30
richard28711thank u i will try it all again18:30
OerHeksrichard28711, at the bottom the guide says: not all dvd's will play.18:30
richard28711i cannot play any so far18:31
OerHeksso you didn't do 'all that' ?18:31
BluesKajrichard28711, did you download libdvdcss from the videolan site ?18:35
BluesKajand install it ?18:35
richard28711i will try that now...can you install that through the terminal18:36
BluesKajrichard28711, http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html , you have to add their ppa to your sources.list  then run the wget command18:44
=== kevin is now known as Guest65294
richard28711finally got it working thanks everyone18:56
richard28711must have missed one of the files18:56
richard28711i did not need to add ppa18:57
BluesKajdid you use the git clone instead , richard2871118:59
richard28711did not need that either and i have never tried the git command yet18:59
BluesKajitcan be very handy19:00
richard28711i am enjoying a 3 dvd set of blues at montreaux featuring buddy guy, clarence gatemouth brown, and bobby parker so if u like blues this the best one to have19:01
