| swift110-phone | Hey | 01:00 |
| Ascavasaion | Hello there... running lubuntu and wanted to install rhythmbox but it says it has been "missing, has been obsoleted, or s only available from another source". Any ideas as to another similar music player? I do not like the feel of audacious. | 08:07 |
| Ascavasaion | Looking at a terminal music player like cmus, any advice on it, and if so how do I install it? | 08:43 |
| hateball | oh they left | 08:52 |

| amishrobots_ | !getlaid| me | 09:19 |
| amishrobots_ | (worth a shot) | 09:22 |
| hateball | amishrobots_: are you talking about the palette at the bottom of the window? | 09:25 |
| hateball | and please dont spam a load of nonsense, impossible to read | 09:25 |
| amishrobots_ | yes | 09:37 |
| amishrobots_ | i have tried everything i could think of, including just uninstalling and reinstalling thhe prog | 09:38 |
| hateball | amishrobots_: have you tried moving ~/.kde/share/config/kolourpaintrc ? | 09:41 |
| hateball | so kolourpaint starts with a fresh config | 09:41 |
| hateball | I cant seem to make the palette disappear no matter how I try tho | 09:41 |
| amishrobots_ | well, iirc the pallette was "floating" not docked, and i pushed the x button to close it at one point, now i see no way to get it back | 09:43 |
| hateball | interresting. there's no way to close it if you're running plasma/kwin | 09:44 |
| amishrobots_ | i don't know what plasma/kwin is | 09:45 |
| hateball | "kde" | 09:45 |
| amishrobots_ | but how would i move ~/kde/share etc? | 09:45 |
| hateball | open a file browser, browse into the directory and move or rename the file | 09:46 |
| hateball | or delete it | 09:46 |
| amishrobots_ | i am in that directory | 09:46 |
| amishrobots_ | hmm. | 09:46 |
| amishrobots_ | whoah | 09:47 |
| amishrobots_ | holy shit, you just fixed my problem | 09:48 |
| amishrobots_ | now i'm curious as to the contents of that file | 09:48 |
| amishrobots_ | (i renamed it to "SHITkolourpaintrc") | 09:49 |
| hateball | Do try and keep it family friendly | 09:49 |
| amishrobots_ | yeah, sorry | 09:51 |
| amishrobots_ | thank you though | 09:51 |
| amishrobots_ | i had feared that this would be some long and convoluted process to fix it, but your suggestion worked immediately, and i cannot express the depths of my gratitude | 09:52 |
| amishrobots_ | i guess the re-install does not clear out the old config file | 09:53 |
| hateball | Nope, it does not | 09:54 |
| hateball | For good reason too | 09:54 |
| amishrobots_ | i had hoped that by reinstalling i would set it back to defaults. | 09:54 |
| hateball | Yeah, that's not how it works tho :) | 09:56 |
| amishrobots_ | well, thank you again | 09:56 |
| hateball | You can use apt-get purge to remove configs, but that only works for systemwide configs in /etc | 09:56 |
| amishrobots_ | any way that i could buy you a beer or something? | 09:56 |
| hateball | Any files in user homes will be left untouched | 09:56 |
| hateball | amishrobots_: We're all here for free you know | 09:56 |
| amishrobots_ | i sort of vaguely understand what yr saying about systemwide configs | 09:57 |
| amishrobots_ | basically, you're saying that config file specific to a certain program (and that program only) would not be affected? | 09:58 |
| hateball | I am saying that... for instance if you install something like a DNS server, that would be configured on a systemwide level, with configs in /etc | 09:58 |
| amishrobots_ | and yeah, i believe in sharing knowledge freely, but still would like to show my appreciation | 09:59 |
| hateball | If you remove the binaries, it will leave the configs so you can install it again | 09:59 |
| hateball | If you use apt-get purge, it will remove the configs in /etc | 09:59 |
| hateball | But for more... end-user focused applications, whatever they may be, a browser perhaps, the configs are stored in each users home | 09:59 |
| hateball | And those will never be touched by the package manager | 09:59 |
| amishrobots_ | sorry, my brain is full | 10:01 |
| hateball | :D | 10:01 |
| amishrobots_ | i would be happy to send you 2 dollars via paypal for solving a problem which has plagued me for a coupla weeks now | 10:01 |
| hateball | amishrobots_: No thanks :) | 10:01 |
| amishrobots_ | damn you take my money! | 10:02 |
| amishrobots_ | or else i will make threats upon your person, which i am in no way capable of carrying out! | 10:03 |
| amishrobots_ | thank you | 10:09 |
| amishrobots_ | i am going to throw angry shroedinger's cats at your most vulnerable organs until you accept my payment! | 10:13 |
| Capum140 | Hello | 18:43 |
| Capum140 | Could I get help with LXLE ? | 18:43 |
| kryten | Capum140: LXLE has its own support venues - check its website for that. | 18:44 |
| Capum140 | all right | 18:45 |
| Capum140 | Hey listen I just tried to post on LXLE forum.... but I have no invitation to sign up on the forum! the other venues are parallel like ubuntu or lubuntu | 18:58 |
| Capum140 | who was the guy I was talking with here? | 18:59 |
| kryten | Capum140: That doesn't make it any more eligible for here - it's a separate distro. | 19:02 |
| Capum140 | =\ | 19:12 |
