flo__I want to close apps from the main panel by middle clicking on it00:00
flo__i just installed kubuntu 14.0.400:01
tux|dudeCheck the settings00:01
tux|dudeI think there is an option under there00:01
flo__I found something but it only close a window when you middle click on the title bar00:07
tux|dudeEh... Check the software centre00:09
tux|dudeThere might be a package to add it to the system00:09
flo__what package00:10
tux|dudeI don't know what package it would be specifically. I'm just saying search the software centre and see if you can find something00:11
flo__there is some settings in "Window Behavior", but i cannot find an option there to be able to close a window(active or inactive) by middle clicking on the panel00:11
flo__tux|dude: thanks but no thanks00:12
flo__they put a lot of option there in settings->window behavior, except the most important(imho) to close a window by middle click on the panel00:13
flo__i cannot easily use day to day an OS that does not have that capability00:15
krytarikflo__: I'd never thought of that before, tbh.00:15
flo__and i liked a lot of kubuntu's capabilities00:15
tux|dudeDude, check the package manager00:17
tux|dudeBy panel do you mean the window title bar?00:18
flo__if you guys have the skills to easily pass to the developers this request of "closing a window by middle click on the panel", maybe on the future someone like me would not have to leave this wonderful OS after loving so much of it00:18
flo__tux|dude: no man00:18
tux|dudeHoly.00:18
tux|dudeShit00:18
tux|dudeExplain exactly what you want00:18
flo__panel is the bar on the lower part of the scree00:19
flo__screen00:19
flo__title bar=is on top of the screen00:19
Pici2500:19
tux|dudeFound it00:19
tux|dudeRight click on the panel00:19
tux|dudeTask manager settings00:19
tux|dudeOn middle click00:19
tux|dudeClose window or group00:19
tux|dudeAssuming this is in KDE 400:20
tux|dudeIf not you will need to update to Plasma 500:20
flo__that right click and close i new about it00:21
flo__man ufff00:21
tux|dudeSpeak english you fool and we may be able to help you00:21
tux|dudeDid you try what I suggested00:21
flo__i am speaking english00:21
flo__y00:21
tux|dudeBecause if it isn't in KDE 4 then you'll need to update it to plasma 500:21
tux|dudeBecause this option is 100% in plasma 500:21
flo__i want to close a window by just : midlle clicking on it ON THE PANEL00:22
tux|dudeI KNOW00:22
flo__i just installed the latest kubuntu00:22
tux|dudeI'M TELLING YOU HOW TO TURN THAT BLEEDING OPTION ON00:22
tux|dudeThe latest lts kubuntu00:22
tux|dudeThe latest kubuntu is 15:1000:22
krytarikGuys, please.00:22
tux|dudeBut anyway, right click on the panel00:22
tux|dudeSelect task manager options00:23
flo__kubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd6400:23
tux|dudeThen there should be a menu that says on middle click00:23
tux|dudeClick the drop down and select "close window or group"00:23
krytarikflo__: That's not the latest.00:23
tux|dudeLatest stable is 15.10 although 16.04 lts is just round the corner00:23
flo__krytarik: ok you are right00:24
flo__i meant the latest LTS00:24
krytarikSo, two years old.00:24
tux|dudeEither way have you tried what I suggested?00:24
tux|dudeBecause that option is present in 15.1000:25
flo__tux|dude: yes man, but i cannot see anything in task manager that says middle click00:25
tux|dudeRight so you need to update to KDE plasma 500:25
flo__aha00:25
tux|dudeIf anything you'd be better off updating to 15.10 for now then jumping up to 16.04 LTS when that comes out in a few weeks00:25
tux|dudeBecause this feature is present in KDE plasma 5 which is preinstalled in 15.1000:26
flo__so in 14.04 there is a plasma that does not have that option?00:26
tux|dude14.04 uses plasma 4 by default00:26
tux|dudeWhich is the previous version of kde plasma00:26
flo__ok i will try the latest kubuntu version00:27
tux|dudeThe current version of plasma is kde plasma 500:27
tux|dudeI suggest you download 15.10 and use that until 16.04 LTS comes out where you can then upgrade to that00:27
tux|dude16.04 LTS is coming out in a few weeks00:27
flo__ok man. i hope that i can find that option to close a window by middle cliking on the panel in 15.1000:29
tux|dudeIt is there00:29
flo__great00:29
tux|dudeI even told you how to get to it00:29
tux|dudetwice00:29
flo__thanks00:29
flo__see you later00:29
tux|dudeMan that was something else00:36
tux|dudeGlad that's over either way00:39
tux|dudePlease tell me people like that aren't a regular occurrence.00:39
tux|dudeAlso sorry for my outburst. Was just getting a bit ticked off. Still no excuse for me going batty though00:41
linooxtest00:59
tux|dudeHi00:59
tux|dudeI can see that test of yours00:59
linooxYes, I too can see that01:00
tux|dudeWell at least it is working01:00
linooxYeah, I am new to IRC and I am just testing Kubuntu01:01
tux|dudeOh nice, well welcome01:01

yossarianuk hi - on 15.10 when I use virt-manager to create a QCOW2 disk image it is not thin provisioned by default  - i'm sure on previous versions it was, any ideas how I can make it thin provisioned by default ?09:01
BluesKajHey folks11:19
=== federal is now known as Angular
JunkHunkhello I am looking for a kubuntu program which would allow me to synchronize contents between a exterior usb hd and a internal hd. any suggestion?11:55
tahaanDoes anybody know what the status is of multi-monitor support in 16.04?11:57
BluesKajJunkHunk, rsync11:57
JunkHunkcool11:57
BluesKaj!rsync | JunkHunk11:57
ubottuJunkHunk: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync11:57
BluesKajtahaan, unstable atm11:57
BluesKajalso depends on your gpu11:58
JunkHunkis rsync installed by default?11:58
JunkHunka good gpu11:58
tahaanBlueSkaj that is what I was afraid of.11:58
tahaanI've been hanging onto 14.04 because of that.11:59
JunkHunkgforce gtx 750 ti11:59
tahaanFrom lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)11:59
BluesKajJunkHunk, check by installing it11:59
tahaanJunkHunk: Just type "rsync"12:00
tahaanIt will tell you if it's not found12:01
BluesKajtahaan, it's hard to predict the behaviour of multimonitors on nvidia and 16.04 atm, there isn't a lot of info12:01
tahaanBluesKaj: I have an Intel GPU in my main work machine12:02
BluesKajeven less infor for intel gpus12:03
tahaan:(12:03
BluesKajtahaan, it's not very busy there , but maybe the users and some devs at #ubuntu+1 can give some pointers12:04
BluesKajit's actually the official support chat for 16.0412:05
tahaanBut this is probably a _K_ubuntu specific issue?12:06
hateballThe +1 channel is flavorless :)12:07
hateballor multiflavored, rather12:07
tahaanOK.12:07
BluesKajhateball, you realize we are supposed to redirect 16.04 users to #ubuntu+1 officially12:08
hateballBluesKaj: Uh... that's exactly what I said12:10
BluesKajflavourless implies not much help :-)12:13
tahaanBut he corrected himself, and I understood what he (she/it) meant anyways12:14
BluesKajwhich is probly true12:14
tahaanLol @ probably true12:14
=== Angular is now known as federales
BluesKajtahaan, it's hard to know unless you try 16.04 , perhaps on a different partition, or a vm12:16
tahaanMulti-monitor support on a VM will probably behave differently due to the HW  But I will try to create a partition to try it out.12:17
BluesKajyeah that's usually the case unless you can configure a passthru12:18
tahaanI imagine for a passthrough the host-OS would need to relinquish the device, and the graphics will be "in use" by the Host12:20
tahaanBut I've never tried this.12:20
lordievadertahaan: Indeed, it can probably be accomplished with just one graphics card. But won't be easy.12:21
lordievaderBetter to simply use qxl with spice or something, that supports multimonitor setups.12:21
tahaanWhat is qxl?12:22
lordievaderA qemu virtual video card.12:22
tahaanHmmmm, much less effort to free up a partition and do a parallel install of 16.04 I imagine12:24
tahaanRegardless I'm going to wait for the release before I try.12:24
BluesKajtahaan,yeah waiting for the official release is probly wise at this point12:30
JunkHunkis there a gui for rsync?12:41
JunkHunkI am lazy12:42
TheBackndHello guys12:42
JunkHunkdoes this apply to kubuntu aswell? http://askubuntu.com/questions/514963/is-there-any-gui-application-for-command-rsync12:43
JunkHunkI want rsync to use two sources12:45
TheBackndDo you guys know how I can get rid of the screen tearing ? I have tried everything , nvidia really pisses me off.12:45
JunkHunkI mean everything on one side must be the same in the other12:45
hateballTheBacknd: check this https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/5/618456760271192326/12:45
JunkHunkbut if there are lacking files in one side must be restored from the other12:45
hateballTheBacknd: namely the ForceFullCompositionPipeline and TripleBuffer bits12:46
JunkHunkTheBacknd, install the proper driver12:46
hateballTheBacknd: and then disably vsync in kwin/everything12:46
hateballTheBacknd: that assumes a 5xx+ series card I should note12:47
TheBackndI never used an IRC before (I don't know how to reply to someone so I will say it to everyone instead) , but thanks for those who helped me , I will take a look at what hateball sent me!12:51
hateball!who | TheBacknd12:54
ubottuTheBacknd: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)12:54
lordievaderubottu: Lies, this channel is not large!12:54

markslawi just had to reinstall kubuntu last night (don't ask why, it's embarrassing!). This morning, te system updater tells me that there are packages to update. I click on update and when it finishes, it tels me that it couldn't finish updating. my installation might be broken. Open muon package manager and have IT look for updates and it finds none. What might be going on?16:49
soeemarkslaw: just run: apt-get -f install17:04
markslawsoee: just did it. thanks. need to reboot now to see if it worked.17:17
markslawi keep getting a message that says that language packages are incomplete. what do i need to do?17:24
NaGERSTAlsoa is acting retarded in trusty 4* kernel and only allowing one sound source at a time. I tried installing pulseaudio to get around that (was never an issue on precise). But now the stupid computer thinks that it should output all sounds to the nvidia_hdmi sound chip instead of the intel 3,5mm (aux) or even the Aureal Vortex 2 card. :::: How do i Completely blacklist the nvidia HDMI sillyness.18:19
NaGERSTI have no intention of ever using a HDMI cable to this computer anyways18:19
NaGERSTthere must be a terminal way to fix this. All suggestions i have gotten has been "install gnome and pavucontrol" and that would have me remove the blacklisting of gtk318:22
NaGERSTKDE probably has a way, but i just have not found iut.18:22
BluesKajNaGERST, kmenu>system settings>multimedia>music device prefernce,after choosing that,  then check the hardware tab to set your sources18:23
BluesKajand outputs18:24
NaGERSThi BluesKaj, The options i have available in systemsettings is "Audio CDs", "Audio and video settings", and "CDDB Retrieval"18:24
NaGERSTBluesKaj: i set the Vortex or Intel sound device as default, apply and close the application. When it is retarted it still defaults to the nvidia.18:27
NaGERSTHow can i blacklist that suckah18:28
NaGERSTand when i pick the intel one the "input" section flickers between front and analogue18:29
NaGERSTpull out the cable?18:29
BluesKajna inb the hardware tab choose the output as something other than hdmi out, ptobly analog out18:33
BluesKajNaGERST,^18:33
NaGERSTit still defaults back to nvidia_hdmi18:33
NaGERSTThe other way i have found was described in the last post here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15497/how-to-remove-nvidia-hdmi-audio-output-in-pulseaudio18:35
NaGERSTbut how do i figure out the proper syntax?18:36
BluesKajin the device preferences tab, make sure that you move the analog or alsa output to the top and use the test bi=utton to make sure you hear sounds18:36
NaGERSTneither works. I had sound before upgrading to a version that had drivers for the nvidia hdmi chip18:38
NaGERSTno matter what i do, after applying settings to the sound settings it still defaults to nvidia hdmi18:39
BluesKajand if you do hear sounds , then clicl apply and apply device list to,then apply again18:39
NaGERSTdoes not matter. even after a reboot, nvidia will still be the preffered one.18:41
NaGERSTand both the intel and the nvidia use the intel_hda module so i can not blacklist it it seems...18:42
BluesKajthe nvidia chip is most likely an intel hda, so open a terminal and do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, if the driver loads properly there will b no output from that command, then reboot18:43
BluesKajalso  check al;samixer in the terminal and make sure the automute is disabled18:43
NaGERSTindeed, there was no output.18:43
BluesKajalsamixer18:43
NaGERSTautomute is disabled18:44
BluesKajturn up the master pcm and front vol ctls as well18:44
NaGERSTI have tried those, i have also tried to change backends (vlc vs gstreamer) and they both work, but output over hdmi instead of using the analogue hardware18:45
BluesKajinstall pavucontrol and set the outputs there  d18:46
NaGERSTblacklisted; Depends: libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0) but it is not installable18:47
BluesKajnopoint blacklisting anything if you only have one audio chip, it's amtter of setting the outputs18:48
NaGERSTok i will give it a try, hope it wont pull all of gnome3 in this time. (did in 13.04)18:49
BluesKajpavucontrol is desktop independent afaik18:50
lordievaderpavucontrol is gtk, so you get gtk libs.18:50
NaGERSTnope. requires gtk3, polkit, and on some distros even gnome-desktop package18:51
BluesKaja few gtklibs is all18:51
NaGERSTok, i will try, i can hopefully purge them later18:51
BluesKajyou can just purge pavucontrol and the gtks will go with it18:52
NaGERSTit has the same issue as the command line tools18:53
NaGERSTill be back in 2 min when i have pulled the front control cable from the computer.18:54
BluesKajnaund_, front control cable ?18:55
BluesKajoops , wrong nick , naund_ .sorry18:56
