GroggleDoes anyone know if KDE partition manager uses QT? I'm wondering why its fonts are so huge and ugly compared to the rest of my applications?01:20
GroggleThe wikipedia entry told me. Sorry for having asked.01:23

diego_Hello, I have a bug that has already been reported.  The fix involves adding a PPA and updating plasma.  To my knowledge Plasma is already updated, so I'm a bit confused.  Would someone care to help me out?01:42
DDRHi all. Sometimes when I'm taking a screenshot, everything disappears except for my mouse and my desktop background.02:29
DDRThe mouse is still reactive in some capacity, mousing over invisible elements. Is there any way to reset things from the keyboard?02:30
DDRI usually just use the reset button on my computer, but that's a bit of a sledgehammer solution.02:30
DrJxset dpms force off  <--trying to set a hot key for this to turn off my monitors whenever I want04:15
DrJit works, but only for a second04:15
DrJany ideas?04:15
DrJthey go black and then come right back04:15
DrJto be clear: it works if I run the command via terminal04:16
DrJbut not if I apply a hotkey04:16
ahoneybunDrJ: make a script with the command and hook the script to the key04:17
ahoneybunmaybe.04:17
DrJwill try04:17
DrJ:(04:18
DrJdidn't work04:18
DrJmade the command: ./home/jeremy/monitor04:19
DrJand had xset dpms force off in the monitor file04:19
DrJit did the same thing, off for a couple seconds then back04:19
ahoneybunnot sure, have not mess with hotkeys in KDE04:20
ahoneybunjust Unity, but very little04:20
DrJokay04:22
DrJfeel free to call me an idiot04:22
DrJI didn't hit apply after changing the command04:22
DrJit does work :)04:22
DrJthanks!04:23
ahoneybunyay :)04:23
ahoneybunI'm happy it worked DrJ04:24
DrJyea, me too04:24
DrJreason it is kind of important is the power button broke off my monitor04:24
DrJwell, one of the two04:24
DrJonly way for me to turn on/off my monitor the normal way is to use a flat head screw driver or something to complete the cicuit04:25
DrJthis is way easier04:25
ahoneybunoh boy04:29

EtienneHi :)11:06
EtienneI need help setting up fcitx on my system to write in japanese/chinese. I've got the whole thing working in the Configure Input Method window (I can actually switch and write in this window), but I cannot switch in any other window/app… Rebooting doesn't help. Any clues?11:08

Upsidehello14:06
lordievadero/14:07
Upsidedo you know how to resolve update-mime not found14:08
Upside?14:08
Upsidehdd bad sector effect14:08
lordievaderUpside: If you have bad sectors the update-mime is the least of your troubles. Do you have a backup and a new hard-drive under way?14:09
Upsideno i didn't have back up and another hard-drive :/14:10
Upsideam i must re-install?14:10
lordievaderNo, take care of your backups first. When you have one bad sector more will follow. Eventually the disk will fail all together.14:11
lordievaderMake a backup, now.14:11
Upsideok14:11
Upsidebut i didn't have another hard-drive or another storage drive14:12
Upsideback up to another partition?14:12
lordievaderThat is not going to work. I'm afraid you'll have to buy a new drive to back up your important data.14:15
Upsideyeah i didn't have important data14:16
lordievaderHmm, that it doesn't really matter. Still bad sectors degrade performance.14:18
Upsideyeah because this bad sector i can't set .jpg to wallpaper :314:19
Upsidebtw how many price to buy new hard-drive?14:20
lordievaderDepends, here (NL) you can get 2Tb for 100 euros.14:20
Upsidecan you convert to usd?14:21
Upsidei just need 320Gb :D14:22
lordievaderUpside: Look up a web store in the us ;)14:23
Upsideok14:23
Upsidebtw between external hard-drive and internal hard-drive wich better?14:24
Upsidei use this netbook from my mother office14:24
Upsideso i didn't have netbook or pc14:24
lordievaderThe internal is likely going to be faster.14:25
Upsideowh ok14:25
Upsidecan internal hard-drive become external hard-drive?14:26
lordievaderAn external harddrive is just an internal harddrive with a sata -> usb converter.14:28
Upsideowh thanks and i'm sorry for my bad english :D peace14:29
BluesKajI have 2 external drives with esata to sata connections , work well14:30
BluesKajno need for usb14:31
Upsideare you using cpu/pc?14:31
lordievaderYeah, there are others but the most common is sata -> usb.14:31
lordievaderUpside: What?14:31
Upsideno. i ask BluesKaj14:32
Upside:D14:32
lordievaderUpside: Use someone's nick when you are addressing them.14:33
Upsidei'm sorry :314:33
BluesKajUpside,  I just run the esata to sata cable thriugh a knockout on the back of mypc to the motherboard14:37
BluesKajubottu,  if you have newer laptop then you probly have at least one sata port14:41
ubottuBluesKaj: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)14:41
BluesKajUpside, ^ :-)14:42
Upsideehh what happen?14:44
BluesKajsata is faster than usb14:46
BluesKajutt not all laptops have a sata port , best to check first14:50
BluesKajbut14:50
lordievaderEsata*, esata != sata.14:51
lordievaderEvery laptop nowadays has sata, not all have esata ports.14:52

naftilos76Hi, i have noticed that playing videos on vlc or dragon i can see something like a line scanning towards the bottom of the video which i would call frame dropping (not sure if that is true). That of course happens only on fast scenes and high resolutions. The cpu is not the issue because it is at 10-15% or something. I am n kubuntu 15.04. Is there anything i could do to make the video perform better? My lcd resolution is 1980x1080 and i am using the20:06
naftilos76integrated intel graphics in my I7 cpu. Does anybody have anything to advise?20:06
ahoneybunI have not seen that naftilos7620:08
ahoneybunbut I just play some movies20:08
naftilos76it is not a big deal, i am just noticing it every now and then.20:10
ahoneybunnaftilos76: your using the nonfree or free driver for the intel card?20:11
ahoneybuncard/board20:12
naftilos76I am not sure which one it is20:13
naftilos76how can i know?20:13
naftilos76i have not added any extra repos to download any deb packages from non-official sources20:14
ahoneybunnaftilos76: sorry had to do something20:22
ahoneybunnaftilos76: you can open up Driver Manager and check20:22
ahoneybunbut most likely you have the free one20:23
naftilos76I did that, all i can see is "Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode"20:24
naftilos76this is a laptop and it has also got a Nvidia Gefrce 840M. The same thing happens when i use the nvidia. I switched to the integrated for less consumption20:26
ahoneybunnot sure I' have not see that "line"20:26
ahoneybunnaftilos76: oh you have nvidia optimus20:26
naftilos76i have disabled nvidia from bios and now i can only see the intel in "driver manager"20:27
naftilos76it doesn't really make any difference20:27
soee_its screan tearing20:31
soee_do you have hybrid graphic ?20:31
naftilos76yep20:31
soee_on intel yu have the ame problem ?20:32
naftilos76on both20:32
soee_strange it works pretty good for me on intel20:32
naftilos76not a problem, more like an imperfection20:32
naftilos76are you on 15.04?20:33
naftilos76resolution?20:33
soee_but be sure to disable compositor for fullscreen windows20:33
soee_and second tging20:33
soee_Tearing Prevention (vsync): to fulscrean repaints20:34
naftilos76I just noticed that it does not happens when i switch to full screen!20:34
naftilos76does not happen20:34
naftilos76it only happens in window mode20:35
naftilos76full screen window is the worst case but when i double click on the video and it goes full screen then the artifacts go away20:36
naftilos76i just realized, sorry guys.20:36
soee_naftilos76: check if both settings imentioned are set in System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Compositor20:37

naftilos76soee_, the setting you are referring to does not get stored. If i get back to the settings it is not selected20:44
naftilos76i get a warning that this is not compatible with all kinds of graphics cards20:44
