[00:00] <odie__> is there a good util for switching windows from the command line or script in kde4?
[00:02] <Hudsonkem> bprompt akonadi is using it? whats akonadi do?
[00:03] <bprompt> Hudsonkem:     kaddressbook, kwallet, kontac, korganizer, pretty much the PIM apps information database service
[00:04] <Hudsonkem> hm.. got it, thx
[00:08] <Hudsonkem> why when google chrome call dolphin open/salve dialog its appear without color scheme?
[00:08] <bprompt> well
[00:09] <bprompt> Hudsonkem:     the app uses some "file dialog" subroutine, is not really Dolphin's or have to be KDE's or QT's either, in this case, google chrome, as well as otrher browsers like firefox, use GTK dialog
[00:10] <bprompt> so, is up to the app, whatever file dialog it will use, no up to the window manager or the desktop manager
[00:12] <Hudsonkem> hm.. got it
[00:12] <Hudsonkem> so, no fix :V
[00:12] <odie__> is there a scriptable program for switching windows in kde4?
[00:12] <odie__> like something I can put as part of a shell script or program
[00:13] <bprompt> odie__:   no need for that, alt-tab =)
[00:13] <odie__> I need it as part of the state for a script
[00:14] <odie__> i need to switch to a window, focus on it, and pipe a command to it
[00:15] <bprompt> Hudsonkem:    what you can do is, change the GTK theme to something you'd like instead, or some gtk theme that resembles whatever theme you're using in kwin :), and you can do that in System Settings > appearance > gtk appearance
[00:16] <mparillo> bprompt: It seems to me that if I install rekonq first, google-chrome uses kdialog. If I do not install rekonq at all, google-chrome uses something else.
[00:17] <bprompt> hmmm
[00:18] <bprompt> mparillo:   I'm thinking it uses gtk theme all along, BUT, you can change what gtk theme to use in a kwin session, through System Settings > Appearance
[00:19] <bprompt> mparillo:    or may just ba a system kde/qt variable that's being set, that chrome uses, bearing in mind that other app use as well, like Adobe reader or firefox
[00:21] <mparillo> Alas firefox has its own strange file dialog.
[00:23] <odie__> does plasma have a console api?
[00:24] <bprompt> odie__:    think so, from what I recall, you can use Krunner to run kde dialogs, not sure if that comprises plasma
[00:24] <bprompt> !krunner
[00:25] <bprompt> woops
[00:25] <bprompt> !find krunner
[00:26] <bprompt> odie__:    but if you install KDevelop suite, I think it has a few kde api samplers
[00:26] <Unit193> !find krunner
[00:26] <odie__> is there a wiki for the kwin/plasma shell scripting apis
[00:26] <mparillo> This might be how the kdialog is invoked under the covers? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190556
[00:26] <odie__> i see functionality scattered about is there a wiki for objects
[00:27] <mparillo> And I experience this bug related to kdialog on Chrome and Chromium: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323650
[05:56] <shurtagul> So why when I executed "sudo apt-get purge wine*" does the shell go ahead and purge all my applications?
[07:12] <dw__> howdy from texas #kubuntu
[10:46] <lolmaus> In Google Chrome (latest stable), I'm suffering from unresponsive and jerky scrolling, redraw problems: http://i.stack.imgur.com/qXgY2.png and YouTube lagging in fullscreen. I'm on Kubuntu 15.10 installed from scratch on a pretty performant laptop: a Thinkpad T430 with a top CPU, 16GB RAM (no swap), SSD, Intel 4000 GPU.
[10:46] <lolmaus> Help! I tried disabling all Chrome addons but it didn't help.
[11:30] <lordievader> Good afternoon.
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:46] <lordievader> Hey BluesKaj
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Hi lordievader

[12:50] <lordievader> Why couldn't you before?
[12:50] <lordievader> Too much stuff to take care of?
[12:51] <BluesKaj> yeah, the yardwork mostly
[12:52] <lordievader> Ah, well earned relaxing thus ;)
[12:54] <BluesKaj> this 16.04 is slow to boot one day then fast the next, lotta changes every 2-3 days..more so then 15.10 it seems
[12:55] <BluesKaj> buit overall it's stability is quite good so far
[12:56] <lordievader> Haven't used Xenial much since the 15.10 release.
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Hey sick_rimmit
[13:12] <I_need_Help> hi guy i want to ask if someone coud help me with a problem regarding synaptic
[13:13] <BluesKaj> I_need_Help, which kubuntu release are you using?
[13:13] <I_need_Help> 15.10
[13:13] <BluesKaj> still on synaptic. why not muon ?
[13:13] <I_need_Help> i get this error whne staring synaptic :
[13:14] <I_need_Help> No protocol specified  ** (synaptic:17423): WARNING **: Could not open X display                                                                            No protocol specified                                                                                                                Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden                                  Unable to
[13:14] <lordievader> I_need_Help: From where are you trying to launch synaptic?
[13:14] <lordievader> And Mir? Is synaptic ported to that?
[13:15] <I_need_Help> normal louncher
[13:15] <BluesKaj> no it's still available on kubuntu, think he's using ubuntu
[13:15] <I_need_Help> no im usin kubuntu 15.10
[13:16] <I_need_Help> *using
[13:16] <lordievader> I_need_Help: Open a konsole and run 'DISPLAY=:0 synaptic', does that launch it correctly?
[13:16] <BluesKaj> I_need_Help, do yo also have unity installed
[13:16] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:16] <I_need_Help> wihout sudo yes
[13:17] <I_need_Help> with sudo
[13:17] <I_need_Help> ** (synaptic:17499): WARNING **: Could not open X display No protocol specified Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Unable to init server: Verbindung ist gescheitert: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt  (synaptic:17499): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
[13:18] <lordievader> That makes sense.
[13:19] <lordievader> The root doesn't have access to your display.
[13:19] <BluesKaj> plus why is it looking for mir ?
[13:20] <I_need_Help> but sometimes it works
[13:20] <I_need_Help> most times after a reboot
[13:21] <BluesKaj> this won't solve your synaptic problem, but why not install muon ? it works well
[13:21] <lordievader> I_need_Help: Does synaptic elavate its right when you want to install something? (After you have started it without sudo?)
[13:22] <I_need_Help> no
[13:23] <lordievader> Hmm...
[13:25] <I_need_Help> i dont know if its realtet but sometimes bleachbit also dont with root
[13:25] <I_need_Help> and kwin_x11 crashes a lot
[13:26] <BluesKaj> have you been updating and upgrading your packages to bring them up to date ?
[13:27] <I_need_Help> evertying shoud be up to date
[13:30] <BluesKaj> frankly, I dunno how well synaptic isa supported anymore , it's quite an old app and muon has mostly replaced it over the last few yrs
[13:30] <I_need_Help> ok thanks
[13:31] <lordievader> If it wants Mir... something tells me it might only work (well) under Unity.
[13:31] <I_need_Help> dosent kubuntu use wayland?
[13:32] <lordievader> No. Not yet anyways.
[13:32] <lordievader> kwin_x11 ;)
[13:33] <I_need_Help> ok stil thank i gues im using moun from now on
[14:03] <tomb> how can I open the settings in Konsole please?
[14:04] <lordievader> tomb: As in running 'systemsettings'?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> tomb, systemsettings5
[14:21] <Hudsonkem> I uninstalled apport and somethimes when plasma or krunner crashes, it appear yet, why? its getting me mad U.u
[14:23] <BluesKaj> Hudsonkem, you may need to purge it
[14:24] <Hudsonkem> hm..
[14:24]  * BluesKaj shrugs
[14:25] <Hudsonkem> interesting, apport was there -_-
[14:25] <tomb> lordievader: no sorry, the settings for Konsole.  Directions say "Settings -> Profile Management -> New Profile", but I can't find that menu.
[14:26] <lordievader> tomb: Settings -> Manage Profiles you mean?
[14:26] <tomb> I guess...
[14:27] <lordievader> Does that answer your question then?
[14:28] <tomb> No, I can't find "Settings"
[14:28] <lordievader> It is the second to last in the menubar. Did you disable the menubar?
[14:29] <tomb> perhaps the menubar never was enabled?  How do I do that please?
[14:29] <lordievader> tomb: ctrl + shift + m
[14:30] <tomb> there we go: cheers lordie
[14:31] <Hudsonkem> thumbnail on dolphin 15.08.2 ideas?
[14:31] <Hudsonkem> ops
[14:31] <Hudsonkem> blender thumbnails on dolphin 15.08.2 ideas?*
[14:50] <sick_rimmit> BluesKaj:  Hi, sorry was asleep at the wheel back there
[14:51] <BluesKaj> sick_rimmit, looks like you have some connect probs
[16:15] <LicHacker> how do I log a bug, ubuntu-bug gets confused an is looking for iceweasle when I am using firefox?
[16:16] <LicHacker> KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel'
[16:18] <LicHacker> I have a fresh install of kubuntu 15.10
[18:06] <_jam> is kwallet broken for anyone else? I'm in 15.10. It doesn't open a wallet, and all the widgets seem broken. I've tried creating a new wallet, importing, exporting and nothing happens
[18:12] <TJ-> _jam: not sure; I don't see anything in the default wallet here but not sure if something is missing or if it is empty
[19:19] <est31> okay, now where has the "actions" right click menu vanished
[19:19] <est31> I can't even unzip zip files anymore
[19:19] <est31> without using the console
[19:19] <est31> or opening ark and many many more clicks and useless submenus
[19:20] <est31> There is an "activities" right click menu but it contains bullshit
[19:23] <est31> I dont want to "link with the current activity"
[19:23] <est31> whatever that is
[19:23] <est31> I want a shorthand for extracting zip files
[19:23] <est31> and I want a shorthand for kgpg -s
[19:46] <suncokret> hello, what is better to install, kubuntu 14.04 or 15.10?
[19:46] <est31> I reallly regret to have moved to 15.10 now
[19:47] <est31> there is lots of stuff happening in kubuntu land right now
[19:47] <lordievader> suncokret: That depends, do you want the newest of the newest. Or do you want (rock)stable?
[19:47] <est31> best option is to install an LTS and wait for the dust to settle
[19:47] <est31> 15.10 isnt newest of newest
[19:48] <lordievader> In terms of releases it is.
[19:48] <est31> in terms of ubuntu releases, yes
[19:48] <est31> not in terms of software releases
[19:48] <est31> then rolling release is better
[19:48] <suncokret> i use now lubuntu 14.04 and it is great, i wish to try kubuntu and i think to try 14.04 too because it have long support, but i ask what you people say
[19:49] <suncokret> do you use kubuntu 14.04?
[19:50] <lordievader> I only have Kubuntu 16.04 installed on a test box.
[19:50] <VeryBewitching> 15.10 here.
[19:53] <lordievader> suncokret: You could ofcoure try 15.10 as a vm or in the live-environment.
[19:54] <suncokret> how you use 16.04, is that some alpha version or what?
[19:54] <VeryBewitching> suncokret: Current build of the next release.
[19:54] <lordievader> suncokret: Yes, development release.
[19:54] <VeryBewitching> There's probably snapshots available for such things.
[19:55] <lordievader> suncokret: I am part of the Kubuntu Teststers Team ;)
[19:55] <suncokret> so you are help for developing
[19:55] <suncokret> and how much people are in team?
[19:57] <lordievader> Not a whole lot. We could allways use more ;) https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuTesters
[19:58] <suncokret> i don't have time for that but i hope i will find enough time to install 14.04 :)
[20:00] <suncokret> so almost 400 members...
[20:01] <lordievader> Oh, that ain't a representive measurement...
[20:02] <lordievader> There are 13 people in the testers ping.
[20:31] <mparillo> lordievader: Thans for the link. I am on the testers ping, but had neglected to add my name to the launchpad group.
[20:31] <lordievader> mparillo: Sure, no problem ;)
[20:31] <mparillo> suncokret: If you want a solid, stable desktop, 14.04 is the best choice.
[20:32] <mparillo> suncokret: If you want to roll with the latest, the daily build of 16.04 has not let me down.
[20:35] <suncokret> thanks for answers
[20:54] <VeryBewitching> Does anyone know of a way to stop the lengthy checksum check when copying data to a USB stick?
[20:55] <VeryBewitching> Once the file is on the device, and the notification shows 100% copy status, there's a huge delay before it completes.
[21:15] <fsdf> hi
[22:57] <jokn> is there a good plasma/kde4 command line script for window switching
[22:58] <soee_> jokn: try asking on #plasma
[23:04] <jokn> is the plasma desktop scripting api available in full somewhere
[23:07] <jokn> is there a DE that works well with ubuntu that is better for scripting than KDE?
[23:27] <Mejestoad> Can someone help me out with the Catalyst driver
