| IrcsomeBot | <TaurohtaRR> I'm noticing behavior when autofs network share is not unmounted after it is not available(for instance vpn desconnected) … do someone uses autofs mounts and can confirm this? | 00:23 |

| Elw3 | Isnt there any gui option to add .desktop files? | 01:14 |
| emma | can you run kubuntu on a laptop with only 3 GB ram? | 01:28 |
| Elw3 | I have less than 1 atm. | 01:28 |
| emma | and it runs okay for you? | 01:29 |
| emma | on a laptop? | 01:29 |
| Elw3 | No old tower. | 01:33 |
| Elw3 | Get rid of the swap! Also webbrowsing might be a bit too harch. | 01:34 |
| Elw3 | The desktop itself runs smooth. | 01:34 |
| emma | my aunt has this laptop (vostro 1700) that had windows xp on it. But she installed avast and it deleted her registry | 01:40 |
| emma | so she's letting me put linux on it for her | 01:40 |
| emma | im trying to figure out the best thing | 01:40 |
| Elw3 | 3gb is more than enough. | 01:41 |
| Elw3 | _only_ :D | 01:42 |
| Elw3 | My workstation has 4. | 01:42 |
| jrss | So.. I prepared a live USB with clonezilla. Everything seemed to have gone well until I had to pick the right SSD that does NOT have my window sinstalltion | 01:43 |
| jrss | turns out that bitlocker requires two hard drives. One with the OS, and one to unlock the OS. I'm not s ure how it happened but | 01:44 |
| jrss | yeah. | 01:44 |
| jrss | So now I can't clone with clonezilla because it will delete everythign (not sure how to tell it to use a partition inside the SSD, I don't see this option) | 01:44 |
| jrss | so... maybe... another approch is to use my backups and copy over the config files of different programs I use. So that's actually the question: where do I find these configs? | 01:45 |
| * jrss sighs | 01:46 | |
| jrss | I really don't want to go through all the stuff again. I have backups of my home directory, but there are already a alot of things I changed | 01:46 |
| emma | gogeta: Im just getting kubuntu then : ) | 03:58 |
| gogeta | emma: welcome to the club | 04:06 |
| gogeta | emma: i made a screen grab of kubuntu on my core 2 | 04:06 |
| emma | gogeta: oh cool you have a core 2? | 04:13 |
| gogeta | emma: yea a old laptop | 04:14 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Faszinosium42> Is there any way to minimize the RAM usage of plasma ? | 15:08 |
| giangi | ciao | 15:11 |
| jrss | Hello... still newish to linux, trying to make a backup of my config files for the different programs. Will I find most of these in bin? | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 16:44 |
| === woods is now known as oodsway | ||
| jrss | config files | 17:36 |
| jrss | maybe I will just do a fresh install again >.> | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | jrss, which config files? | 18:14 |
| jrss | BluesKaj: hmm.. programs like Konversion, or my terminal themes, for example (konsole) | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | jrss, Konversion? | 18:28 |
| jrss | yes, the IRC client that comes with kubuntu? | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | konversation | 18:28 |
| jrss | using it right now ya | 18:28 |
| jrss | oh yeah typo. that one yep | 18:29 |
| BluesKaj | what do you want to configure? .../usr/share/konversation has a lot of files, don't see a .conf tho | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | themes themes are determined by your choices in the kmenu>system settings>appearance | 18:42 |
| keithzg[m] | jrss: Your config files should all be in folders starting with dots in your home directory (ex. `.config`). | 18:43 |
| keithzg[m] | If you're just looking to back things up, laziest way is to simply back up your whole home directory :D | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 18:44 |
| jrss | keithzg[m]: I do that actually (bacup my home directory) but I'm wondering if I try my fresh install if it will all be there hmmm | 18:49 |
| jrss | let me ask this then. Are there any config files that are NOT in the home directory? | 18:50 |
| jrss | ones that change with regular costumizations. | 18:50 |
| toso_ | hi all | 18:50 |
| BluesKaj | hi toso_ | 18:56 |
| toso_ | i am running 18.04, after a few changes (no terminal) task switcher kind of broke down | 19:00 |
| toso_ | i am kind of a noob, saw the ubuntu forums kind of send here for support, so i though i might have tried before reporting, hope someone could help and i don't bother | 19:03 |
| toso_ | basically i try to change anymation and to bind keys but they seem erratic in behaviour, i can't seem to make any task switcher go forward nor reverse, it used to work at beginning, then forward broke, then now i can't bind nor make work the reverse either | 19:04 |
| toso_ | tried few shut downs and restarts too, so i think this might be some bug of kde | 19:05 |
| toso_ | i have a couple of links to couple of people reporting i think same problem, solutions are not really clear to me, i don't want to make a mess and before doing anything i thought it was better to ask for help | 19:09 |
| keithzg[m] | jrss: It would be quite weird (and very against standards and established practice) if any of your applications stored user-specific configuration files outside of your home directory without some explicit intervention or choice on your end. (System-wide configs however are stored in /etc.) | 19:18 |
| jrss | keithzg[m]: thanks. OK, then I will just try a fresh install wtih my /home backups and everything should be in place, more or less -- provided of course that I download the software I had before | 21:04 |
