[00:15] <ronnoc> quick question - since I've been out of the loop a little bit: why was Quassel removed as default IRC client?
[00:16] <Denza252> Hmm? It was?
[00:16] <Denza252> Utopic or Vivid
[00:17] <ronnoc> Vivid...Koversation looks dated and doesn't even spell check that I can see.
[00:17] <Denza252> And, probably because the reason quassel was the default for a while was gone
[00:18] <ronnoc> well, I figured THAt much, Denza252 :p but was wondering why specifically, before I go download and install it.
[00:20] <Denza252> Perhaps Konversation is now on KF5 and Qt5, but Quassel has to catch up still
[00:22] <ronnoc> Yeah that seems likely. Caught in transition. http://quassel-irc.org/node/126
[00:23] <genii> Yes, issues currently with Quassel and QT5
[00:24]  * Denza252 slides a coffee to genii 
[00:24] <valorie> Konvi was the default, but then was not quite ready for release at KDE4 time
[00:24] <Denza252> Konvi?
[00:24] <valorie> and we didn't change back until now
[00:25] <valorie> Konversation
[00:25] <genii> Denza252: Much appreciated
[00:25] <ronnoc> I'm just mazed that Konversation does not appear to have spell check. I mean..it's 2015 after all. Ah well.
[00:25] <valorie> We offer KDE software, and Konversation is KDE
[00:25] <valorie> quassel isn't
[00:25] <ronnoc> hi genii and valorie
[00:25] <valorie> yes, it does have spellcheck
[00:25] <valorie> just turn it on
[00:25] <valorie> it always has
[00:26] <valorie> Settings > Configure Konversation
[00:27] <ronnoc> right.I got that far but still not seeing it. I would expect it  be in Behavior > General if not in it's own section.
[00:28] <valorie> hmmm, I'm not seeing it either
[00:29] <valorie> ha, I was wrong:
[00:29] <valorie>  Turn on Auto Spell Check
[00:29] <valorie> Right click the text input line and select Auto Spell Check.
[00:29] <ronnoc> you must be a much more confident typist than me lol
[00:29] <valorie> oh, I turn it off, it is much too annoying
[00:29] <ronnoc> wow..ok. that's never going to be found by a normal user lol. but ty so much.
[00:30] <valorie> google found it in less than a sec
[00:30] <valorie> but you are right, it should be in the menus also
[00:30] <ronnoc> and for some reason I type faster than my bluetooth kb can apparently keep up, so it's necessary in my case
[00:31] <ronnoc> I get why cut / copy / paste would be there, but spell check? not s much. Should I file a bug?
[00:32] <ronnoc> ^ why I need spell check...I type too fast
[01:54] <VolUTFan> If 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 Plasma4
[03:16] <VolUTFan> can anyone tell me toolz offhand, either GUI or terminal to synch 2 directories recursively, I know of rsync and meld already
[04:02] <Dragonslicer> VolUTFan: rsync is probably what you want, unless you're looking for incremental backups, in which case rdiff-backup works well for me
[06:48] <hyper_ch> why does kde 4.14 not autoconnect anymore to wifi?
[07:15] <soee> good morning
[08:02] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:03] <ceeplusplus> hi. I installed the kubuntu 14.10 kde5 preview but need help sharing an ntfs parttion on this machine over the network using samba
[11:04] <ceeplusplus> the kcmshell commands i found dont seem to open up anything
[11:04] <ceeplusplus> i installed the ibus whihc was missing but it still doesn't open anyhting
[11:05] <ceeplusplus> i used the commands: kdesudo kcmshell fileshare and kdesudo kcmshell  samba-conf
[11:06] <ceeplusplus> neither does anything
[11:06] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: Is samba installed and configgured?
[11:06] <ceeplusplus> i installed it through dolphin
[11:07] <ceeplusplus> in the share section on the folder i want to share
[11:07] <ceeplusplus> i ran a command afterwards to install it just in case it hadnt and it said it was already installed
[11:08] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: What is the output of 'apt-cache policy samba'?
[11:08] <lordievader> !paste | ceeplusplus
[11:08] <hyper_ch> why does kde 4.14 not autoconnect anymore to wifi?
[11:08] <ceeplusplus> i dont have acess ot the machine currently but will in a few hours
[11:08] <ceeplusplus> i will check this
[11:09] <ceeplusplus> thanks
[11:09] <ceeplusplus> i really like the new look but just got the usual hurdles with a new linux
[11:09] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: ^ Is not a fix, just the first step in troubleshooting.
[11:09] <ceeplusplus> i wish they could make it as easy as mac to shre stuff
[11:10] <ceeplusplus> sure
[11:10] <ceeplusplus> im sure this is what puts off most casual users to linux
[11:10] <lordievader> Samba is rather easy, install -> add share -> restart service, done.
[11:11] <ceeplusplus> ok, will check this later. its been a while since i touched linux
[11:12] <ceeplusplus> glad to see there are still enthusiatic kubunu ists
[11:12] <lordievader> ;)
[11:12] <ceeplusplus> when i search on line for help on 14.10 kubunu there are not alot of hits!
[11:13] <ceeplusplus> i deserve to feel pain trying out a preview i'm sure :-)
[11:14] <ceeplusplus> i got hooked in by the ars technica review of kde5
[11:14] <ceeplusplus> it said its a lighter version of kde4
[11:15] <ceeplusplus> i think sambe need special settings if a partiton is ntfs as it doesnt support unix file permissions
[11:16] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: That could very well be true.
[11:16] <ceeplusplus> i heard a few hints on this
[11:16] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: On IRC there are enough support channels for plasma5 ;)
[11:16] <ceeplusplus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1756575
[11:16] <lordievader> This channel, #kubuntu-devel, #plasma, #kde
[11:17] <ceeplusplus> thanks!
[11:17] <lordievader> Ah right, fuse...
[11:20] <ceeplusplus> i always worry when i see posts pertaining to different versions of ubuntu/kubuntu as they are often out of date
[11:20] <ceeplusplus> the guides
[11:20] <ceeplusplus> or tips
[11:22] <ceeplusplus> lordie fuse is the underlying technology to see ntfs? i thought it was ntfs-3g or something
[11:22] <lordievader> Sure there is change, but not that rapidly.
[11:22] <ceeplusplus> hopefully!
[11:23] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: Fuse = filesystem in userspace: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace
[11:23] <ceeplusplus> thanks, sorry to be so lazy
[11:25] <ceeplusplus> example uses: ntfs3g!
[11:27] <ceeplusplus> ill get this installed in virtualbox to debug it
[11:27] <ceeplusplus> (plasma5)
[11:31] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: Are you running Linux?
[11:32] <ceeplusplus> mac
[11:33] <lordievader> Hmm. Else I would've recommended KVM.
[11:33] <ceeplusplus> personally, i installed kubuntu for a mate who was having problems with windows update
[11:33] <ceeplusplus> sure! i heard great stuff about it
[11:33] <ceeplusplus> like vmware for linux right?
[11:33] <ceeplusplus> passthrough and all that good stuff
[11:35] <ceeplusplus> it sits on top of a linux os, unlike its predecessor xen
[11:53] <lordievader> ceeplusplus: It sits more inside the linux os ;)
[11:53] <lordievader> KVM = Kernel-Based Virtual Machine.
[11:54] <lordievader> It gives you near bare-metal performance.
[11:54] <ceeplusplus> awesome
[11:55] <ceeplusplus> its about 85 percent i read
[12:03] <hyper_ch> why does kde 4.14 not autoconnect anymore to wifi?
[12:06] <Walex> hyper_ch: that is a bit of a generic question...
[12:06] <hyper_ch> Walex: no idea what's generic about it
[12:06] <Walex> hyper_ch: depends on what you mean by "autoconnect"
[12:07] <hyper_ch> well, in nm you can set to autoconnect to wifis
[12:07] <Walex> hyper_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_ch> default one
[12:08] <hyper_ch> for kubuntu
[12:09] <Walex> hyper_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_ch> the question is why isn't it autoconnecting to wifis despite having checked the according checkbox to autoconnect
[12:12] <Walex> hyper_ch: is this a VPN connection?
[12:12] <hyper_ch> it's a wifi connection
[12:12] <Walex> hyper_ch: no VPN involved?
[12:12] <hyper_ch> depends on what you mean
[12:12] <hyper_ch> there is openvpn running additionally
[12:13] <hyper_ch> but it just hooks into the network connection that's been established
[12:13] <hyper_ch> be it wifi or ethernet
[12:13] <Walex> hyper_ch: is 'openvpn' configured via Network Manager too?
[12:13] <hyper_ch> and it's done through /etc/openvpn
[12:14] <Walex> hyper_ch: did you do an upgrade of other things than KDE, specifically of Network Manager?
[12:14] <hyper_ch> no idea what you mean
[12:14] <hyper_ch> I haven't been able to autoconnect in 14.10
[12:15] <Walex> hyper_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_ch> Walex: not sure what you mean by that
[12:15] <hyper_ch> I just boot up
[12:15] <hyper_ch> if I haven't plugged in the ethernet cable
[12:15] <hyper_ch> it should autoconnect to wifi
[12:16] <hyper_ch> but it doesn't
[12:18] <Walex> hyper_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/DebuggingNetworkManager
[12:20] <hyper_ch> Walex: if I open nm in kubuntu and select the checkbox to connect to the wifi it connects
[12:20] <hyper_ch> it just doesn't do it automatically when there's no lan
[12:21] <Walex> hyper_ch: the question is whether NM finds there is a WiFi network available or not.
[12:21] <hyper_ch> the networks are shown
[12:21] <hyper_ch> I just need to click the "Connect" button
[12:21] <Walex> hyper_ch: then if the WiFi becomes available why it does not enable the WiFi interface.
[12:21] <hyper_ch> no idea what you mean by that
[12:22] <Walex> hyper_ch: maybe you configured the wired interface to override the WiFi ones, or maybe it is a bug in NetworkManager
[12:22] <hyper_ch> I wouldn't even know how to do that
[12:23] <lordievader> hyper_ch: Does it autoconnect when the lan is not plugged in?
[12:23] <hyper_ch> lordievader: it doesn't autocnnect at all
[12:23] <hyper_ch> lordievader: that's the problem... if there's no lan, it should autoconnect but it doesn't
[12:24] <lordievader> Wether you just login or not doesn't make a difference?
[12:24] <hyper_ch> lordievader: yes, doesn't make a difference
[12:25] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:28] <lordievader> hyper_ch: Users are allowed to connect to the set network?
[12:28] <hyper_ch> lordievader: no idea what you mean
[12:29] <lordievader> hyper_ch: Precisely what I say. There is a setting for allowing other users to connection to a network.
[12:30] <hyper_ch> lordievader: all users may connect to this network?
[12:31] <lordievader> That's the one.
[12:31] <hyper_ch> haven't checked that
[15:08] <Sumitabha> I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 and my PC keeps freezing and taking a long time to load everything
[15:09] <Sumitabha> I don't think my xubuntu live CD has any diagnostic tools in it, but my kubuntu CD does, right?
[15:10] <Sumitabha> I have a Kubuntu 14.04 live CD
[15:10] <Sumitabha> Can I use that to run a diagnostic test?
[16:17] <ceeplusplus> hi. im trying out the 15.04 alpha and cant update a package kde-l10n-enb broken pipe error. any ideas on this?
[16:17] <ceeplusplus> engb sorry
 i cannot get vlc to play my dvds..can someone help\
[18:28] <OerHeks> richard28711, did you follow the dvd guide?
[18:28] <OerHeks> !dvd
[18:28] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 Then open a terminal window and execute: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh and restart VLC
[18:29] <richard28711> do u type !dvd in terminal
[18:29] <OerHeks> worked for me without restart
[18:29] <BluesKaj> richard28711, install kubuntu-restricted-extras for starters
[18:30] <richard28711> what if i did all that
[18:30] <richard28711> thank u i will try it all again
[18:30] <OerHeks> richard28711, at the bottom the guide says: not all dvd's will play.
[18:31] <richard28711> i cannot play any so far
[18:31] <OerHeks> so you didn't do 'all that' ?
[18:35] <BluesKaj> richard28711, did you download libdvdcss from the videolan site ?
[18:35] <BluesKaj> and install it ?
[18:36] <richard28711> i will try that now...can you install that through the terminal
[18:44] <BluesKaj> richard28711, http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html , you have to add their ppa to your sources.list  then run the wget command
[18:56] <richard28711> finally got it working thanks everyone
[18:56] <richard28711> must have missed one of the files
[18:57] <richard28711> i did not need to add ppa
[18:59] <BluesKaj> did you use the git clone instead , richard28711
[18:59] <richard28711> did not need that either and i have never tried the git command yet
[19:00] <BluesKaj> itcan be very handy
[19:01] <richard28711> i 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 have
[19:02] <BluesKaj> yes, i've seen parts of that concert ..well done :)
[20:11] <xoxoxo> Fonts seems to be little off in Chrome on Kubuntu. On Fedora if you set the fonts to oxygen, Chrome uses Oxygen fonts for window, menu, etc. but on Kubuntu it seems to be using different fonts than what are set in systemsettings.

[21:51] <jpwhiting> hmm, latest vivid isos in virtualbox boot into some widescreen with strange ascii looking characters that change as I move the mouse around
[21:51] <jpwhiting> tried on an iso from a week ago and a fresh one today, both the same
[21:51] <jpwhiting> tried turning on 3d accel and pae/nx but get the same result
[21:51] <jpwhiting> just booting the live iso so far, not even to installation yet
[21:52] <jpwhiting> amd64 image, is this a known issue with virtualbox ?
[22:04] <jpwhiting> heh, right-ctrl-f2 then right-ctrl-f1 solved it
[22:04] <jpwhiting> doh
