| Dragnslcr | gunndawg_: the libvirt tools are very helpful | 01:38 |
| gunndawg_ | Dragnslcr: so you're saying dont use vmware or virtual box? | 01:54 |
| Dragnslcr | gunndawg_: kvm has worked well for me | 02:18 |
| gunndawg_ | I'll look into it. Would really like to get a VM up | 02:19 |
| Dragnslcr | virt-install is good for creating a VM, then you can use virsh to manage it | 02:20 |
| Dragnslcr | They're both part of libvirt, which is a wrapper library for kvm | 02:21 |
| gunndawg | so I installed KVM | 02:30 |
| gunndawg | and the GUI tool | 02:30 |
| gunndawg | setting up the VM I have selected the ISO and OS type (linux) but it wants a Version. I am installing and testing Arch. Not sure what version to select for Arch | 02:31 |

| deee | hi | 03:50 |
| deee | hey buddy need some help | 03:51 |
| deee | i just installed the kubuntu 15 | 03:51 |
| deee | am a noob | 03:51 |
| deee | perhaps i want the windows bootloader as default and not the grub | 03:51 |
| deee | how do i do tha | 03:51 |
| deee | that* | 03:52 |
| deee | guys | 03:56 |
| deee | anyone | 03:56 |
| juacom99 | dee so you got a double boot in your PC and you want windows to be selected as default i i'm geting it right? | 04:05 |
| KrakenSkulls | hi. I installed Kubuntu last night. Really liking the new look. I am having an issue with the fonts though. They are pretty fuzzy. I enabled anti-aliasing, is there anything else I can do? Specifically terminal looks janky | 04:15 |
| KrakenSkulls | maybe I need to install some other ones? It doesn't seem to come with too many monospaced ones | 04:16 |
| cjwelborn | KrakenSkulls: I use DejaVu Sans Mono for code, but also look at sub-pixel rendering under your font settings. If you pick the correct one it makes a big difference. It did for me anyway. | 04:23 |
| KrakenSkulls | cjwelborn: thanks! I just tried playing around with subpixel and tried RGB. looks a lot better in firefox | 04:24 |
| cjwelborn | KrakenSkulls: Also the 'Hinting Style' makes a big difference with 'fuzziness' or when they are too 'sharp'. | 04:25 |
| cjwelborn | KrakenSkulls: I'm no expert, but the hinting style basically handles how fonts are smoothed out. You can make them bolder, sharper, blurrier, etc. | 04:26 |
| KrakenSkulls | do you have to restart the app to see the difference? | 04:26 |
| cjwelborn | KrakenSkulls: yes | 04:26 |
| KrakenSkulls | cjwelborn: ahh no wonder! | 04:27 |
| KrakenSkulls | cjwelborn: BitStream Vera Sans Mono is my favorite coding font. it's free online. gonna give it a whirl now | 04:32 |
| cjwelborn | KrakenSkulls: cool. fonts are a touchy subject (just like editors) when it comes to programmers. :) As long as it's readable to you. | 04:34 |
| === aaron_ is now known as ahoneybun | ||
| KrakenSkulls | well it's gotta be monospaced, and there aren't very many of those. Terminal 9pt on Windows is also rad | 04:35 |
| KrakenSkulls | probably some joker out there who uses Comic Sans though | 04:36 |
| KrakenSkulls | i solved a weird sound issue by accident last night and i'll divulge the solution for free. i had event sounds but no youtube audio. i had to bring up the mixer, then right click at the top of the correct volume slider. a popup appears and you select "move to <device>", basically reassigning the output to the correct audio device | 04:42 |
| KrakenSkulls | never would have found that weird hiden popup if i wasnt totally frustrated and just randomly clicking around | 04:43 |
| shantanu | hi | 05:19 |
| baizon | hi, i have a question, but im not sure if its a bug. Since my update 14.10 -> 15.04 my audio is different. But i cant tell if its better or worse, its just different. Can someone give me some explanation or show me the right direction where to find some info about it? | 06:51 |
| KrakenSkulls | baizon: click on the volume icon in the system tray, then click mixer | 06:54 |
| baizon | KrakenSkulls: yes, got it | 06:54 |
| KrakenSkulls | baizon: from there go to settings, and Audio setup | 06:54 |
| baizon | KrakenSkulls: yes, also got it | 06:55 |
| KrakenSkulls | baizon: i donno, between that and select master channel, you should be able to change what needs to be changed | 06:55 |
| baizon | ok, will try that, thanks | 06:55 |
| KrakenSkulls | maybe it's playing in mono and not stereo | 06:56 |
| baizon | KrakenSkulls: indeed, it changed to "line-out" | 07:01 |
| baizon | thank you :) | 07:01 |
| KrakenSkulls | baizon: awesome! | 07:06 |

| danielle31 | hi all. I'm using the new kubuntu 15.04; love it so far. when I go to send an encrypted message using KMail, I get the error "It was not possible to create a message composer." This only happens using an identity I have set GPG up with. It doesn't happen using an identity I haven't. Any idea what's wrong? | 17:51 |
| metallic | Hello! I have just met the program "nice" on the shell. What is it useful for? :/ | 18:10 |
| kallecarl | danielle31: https://osdir.com/ml/kdepim-bugs/2013-12/msg00018.html https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332167 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328311 | 18:12 |

| kallecarl | metallic: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+nice+command | 18:14 |
| metallic | kallecarl: I actually expected someone to tell why would someone use such program but I clicked on one of the links your search gave and now I think no more that this program is useless | 18:17 |
| metallic | thanks :) | 18:17 |
| metallic | also... "let me google it for you"? XD | 18:17 |
| kallecarl | metallic: the way I know about it is someone told it to me | 18:18 |
| kallecarl | nice is a way to set priorities if some process is interfering with another | 18:18 |
| metallic | kallecarl: by interfering what do you mean? I understand that it is a way to set the "urgency" of a process | 18:19 |
| metallic | is it not? | 18:19 |
| kallecarl | metallic: maybe you want your music player to have priority over everything else | 18:19 |
| kallecarl | but some indexing program is interfering | 18:19 |
| kallecarl | making music not play correctly | 18:19 |
| kallecarl | most users don't need this | 18:19 |
| kallecarl | particularly on Kubuntu | 18:20 |
| kallecarl | applications respect each other pretty much | 18:20 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, you shouldn't really need to use nice on a normal desktop computer | 18:20 |
| metallic | mmm... really? | 18:20 |
| kallecarl | metallic: it's the Truth | 18:20 |
| kallecarl | especially if you don't know what it does...better to not mess with it | 18:20 |
| Dragnslcr | The basic idea is that if you have two programs that can both use 100% of the CPU, you can use nice to control what percentage each program gets to use | 18:21 |
| metallic | That's what I was thinking to use "nice" for | 18:21 |
| kallecarl | what programs are using 100% CPU | 18:21 |
| Dragnslcr | So you could set one program to get 75% of the CPU and the other to get 25% of the CPU | 18:21 |
| metallic | kallecarl: sometimes I have several things working at the same time and I really would like to set priority on them | 18:22 |
| Dragnslcr | But a normal desktop computer shouldn't generally be running multiple programs that are that CPU-intensive | 18:22 |
| kallecarl | okay be careful though | 18:22 |
| kallecarl | metallic: what Dragnslcr said | 18:23 |
| metallic | I will, I learned a new thing :) | 18:23 |
| kallecarl | yes when you run Kubuntu you are automatically nice to the max | 18:23 |
| metallic | According to my shell the default nice value is 0 :/ | 18:23 |
| metallic | not -20 | 18:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Yup, 0 is considered normal | 18:24 |
| metallic | Dragnslcr: I meant that for me it is not set "to the maximum" | 18:24 |
| metallic | ) | 18:24 |
| kallecarl | everyone here is nice B^) | 18:25 |
| Dragnslcr | No, because everything set to -20 is no different than everything set to 0 | 18:25 |
| Dragnslcr | Everything would still have the same priority | 18:25 |
| kallecarl | metallic: what are you referring to with "I have several things working at the same time" and you want to set priority | 18:26 |
| kallecarl | what things? if there's a conflict, it's likely to call for other remedies than setting nice values | 18:27 |
| kallecarl | okay gotta go... metallic, you're in good hands with Dragnslcr | 18:28 |
| metallic | kallecarl: Sometimes I have several programs running which require machine resources and I clearly need some more than others. For instance, if I am GNUPLOT for viewing and performing operations on differential equations or such things, meanwhile I have things like the e-mail client, web browser and IRC client and running | 18:29 |
| metallic | I use* | 18:29 |
| metallic | The web browser is not so urgent to me, I may need to watch some documentation from time to time. The truth is that I don't think I am going to this this command much | 18:30 |
| metallic | going to need* | 18:31 |
| kallecarl | metallic: try it out...you might learn another new thing...also ksysguard (GUI) or top (CLI) will tell you CPU%, there may not be a need to set new nice levels | 18:38 |
| metallic | When the time comes for me to set priorities on my running programs I will see :) | 18:39 |
| Dragnslcr | metallic: in that case, you could set your plotting to a lower priority (e.g. renice it to 5), so that the other programs can more easily get the small amount of CPU time that they need | 18:39 |
| Dragnslcr | But I would only do it if the web browser and email client are noticably unresponsive | 18:40 |
| metallic | wait, so if I want GNUplot to have more resources I should diminish its niceness? :/ | 18:40 |
| Dragnslcr | No, but none of those other programs require much CPU time | 18:40 |
| metallic | My laptop is not a very potent machine hehe | 18:40 |
| Dragnslcr | And you typically want those kinds of programs to be more responsive | 18:40 |
| Dragnslcr | It doesn't really matter if an hour-long computation takes an extra 10 seconds to finish | 18:41 |
| metallic | mmm... Well, you sure know more than me | 18:42 |
| Dragnslcr | I have Konversation taking less than 1% of the CPU. Firefox is taking 16%, but Firefox isn't known for being overly efficient with resource usage | 18:43 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't have an email client running at the moment, but I doubt it will be using more than 1-2% most of the time | 18:43 |
| metallic | I guess I should see the amount of resources programs use when I face such situations, as you said | 18:44 |
| metallic | Thanks to both of you :) Dragnslcr kallecarl, I keep on reading kubuntu's help | 18:45 |
| Dragnslcr | http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_04_03.html#sect_04_03_05_01 has a brief description | 18:46 |
