 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?
[01:14] <Elw3> Isnt there any gui option to add .desktop files?
[01:28] <emma> can you run kubuntu on a laptop with only 3 GB ram?
[01:28] <Elw3> I have less than 1 atm.
[01:29] <emma> and it runs okay for you?
[01:29] <emma> on a laptop?
[01:33] <Elw3> No old tower.
[01:34] <Elw3> Get rid of the swap! Also webbrowsing might be a bit too harch.
[01:34] <Elw3> The desktop itself runs smooth.
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <Elw3> 3gb is more than enough.
[01:42] <Elw3> _only_ :D
[01:42] <Elw3> My workstation has 4.
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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)
[01:45] <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?
[01:46]  * 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
[03:58] <emma> gogeta: Im just getting kubuntu then : )
[04:06] <gogeta> emma: welcome to the club
[04:06] <gogeta> emma: i made a screen grab of kubuntu on my core 2
[04:13] <emma> gogeta: oh cool you have a core 2?
[04:14] <gogeta> emma: yea a old laptop
[13:25] <mozammel> I love Kubuntu
 Is there any way to minimize the RAM usage of plasma ?
[15:11] <giangi> ciao
[16:32] <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?
[16:44] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[17:36] <jrss> config files
[17:36] <jrss> maybe I will just do a fresh install again >.>
[18:14] <BluesKaj> jrss, which config files?
[18:24] <jrss> BluesKaj: hmm.. programs like Konversion, or my terminal themes, for example (konsole)
[18:28] <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
[18:29] <jrss> oh yeah typo. that one yep
[18:38] <BluesKaj> what do you want to configure? .../usr/share/konversation has a lot of files, don't see a .conf tho
[18:42] <BluesKaj> themes themes are determined by your choices in the kmenu>system settings>appearance
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <BluesKaj> BBL
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <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
[18:56] <BluesKaj> hi toso_
[19:00] <toso_> i am running 18.04, after a few changes (no terminal) task switcher kind of broke down
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <toso_> tried few shut downs and restarts too, so i think this might be some bug of kde
[19:09] <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
[19:18] <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.)
[21:04] <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
