[12:45] <allee> Mhmm, I vaguely remeber there was a plan to add user notification when a reboot is necessary (e.g. kernel update).  I've not seen such a msg yet.  Is this feisty+x?
[12:49] <yuriy> i'm reading the dot article on strigi, and somebody's comment mentioned kio-fuse as a solution to kio slaves with non-kde apps. has that been considered for kubuntu?
[01:22] <nixternal> well, I would love to have a package done, but the Spanish translations for the KDE Games section is severly broken, so I had to remove a majority of that. I am going to see about getting this fixed. Which kind of stinks considering the time difference
[01:26] <nixternal> WOOHOO! I got everything to finally validate for translations
[01:26] <Tm_T> ok, so Herd 6 is cancelled, does this affect to release date?
[01:27] <nixternal> just need to fix the Spanish translations for games.xml which I don't think I can do, and I need to find out why Rosetta didn't like sl.po file for keeping-safe
[01:27] <nixternal> Tm_T: not that I have heard
[01:27] <nixternal> that is why I am running around trying to get the docs package translated and packaged
[01:28] <Tm_T> roger
[02:14] <Tm_T> anyone with few moments to spare?
[02:15] <Tm_T> I need some help with launchpad
[02:17] <Riddell> Tm_T: ask
[02:18] <Tm_T> about importing openpgp gey, there's mention about uploading it to keyserver, but my gpg asks keyserver
[02:18] <Tm_T> so, hum, I'm kinda lost here
[02:20] <Tm_T> hate these depressive seasons, nothing works
[02:23] <Riddell> Tm_T: I don't understand
[02:23] <Riddell> Tm_T: for launchpad can you just paste your key in no?
[02:23] <Tm_T> hmm
[02:23] <Tm_T> Ensure the key has been uploaded to a keyserver. To do this:
[02:23] <Tm_T> gpg --send-key key-id
[02:23] <Riddell> to upload to a keyserver set keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com in ~/.gnupg/options
[02:24] <Tm_T> ah, yes, just found that too from wiki
[02:24] <Tm_T> thanks
[02:24] <Riddell> and obviously replace "key-id" with the actual hex number
[02:24] <Tm_T> ofcourse :(
[02:24] <Tm_T> :) I meant
[02:25] <Tm_T> oh well, I think I generate new key for this purpose
[02:45] <Tm_T> yup, time ti sign CoC

[10:27] <Tonio_> hi
[10:28] <asyd> hello Tonio_
[10:31] <Tonio_> hi ;)
[11:04] <hunger_t> Who is packaging kontact?
[11:04] <Tm_T> not me!
[11:06] <Tm_T> hunger_t: er? enterprise?
[11:06] <hunger_t> Tm_T: There is a branch of kontact for enterprises...
[11:06] <hunger_t> Tm_T: More stable, bla bla...
[11:07] <Tm_T> hunger_t: and that is what branch?
[11:07] <hunger_t> Tm_T: CHeck tags/kdepim/*enterprise* in kde SVN.
[11:08] <Tm_T> oh, haven't seen that before
[11:09] <Tm_T> I'm mostly fiddling with kdepim-3.5.5+ branch
[11:09] <hunger_t> Tm_T: the enterprise branch is from the kolab server guys afaik. It is kde 3.5.x based as well.
[11:11] <hunger_t> Tm_T: Anyway: I do not envy your job:-) That beast is not the nicest to build.
[11:13] <gnomefreak> guys whats with the versioning of libqt3-mt?
[11:13] <gnomefreak> 3:3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu5
[11:13] <gnomefreak> i like it but never seen that used before ;)
[11:14] <Tm_T> gnomefreak: let me check
[11:16] <Tm_T>   * Revert to Qt 3.3.7.  3.3.8 was not showing a lot of characters
[11:16] <Tm_T>      from CKJ languages.
[11:17] <gnomefreak> but isnt every other lib 3.3.7?
[11:17] <Tm_T> hm?
[11:17] <gnomefreak> looks like 3.3.6
[11:19] <gnomefreak> shouldnt they all match versions for the most part?
[11:19] <Tm_T> kdebase?
[11:20] <gnomefreak> kdebase yes it isnt a lib but i was thinking it would bring in the libs needed to run kde and i just assumed they would all match
[11:20] <Tm_T> kdebase: Installed: 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20
[11:21] <allee> gnomefreak: no kdebase and libqt are independent (beside kdebase requireing a min verion on libqt)
[11:21] <gnomefreak> oh ok ty
[11:21] <Tm_T> gnomefreak: you're confusing me a lot
[11:21] <gnomefreak> :)
[11:21] <Tm_T> even for bein gnomefreak
[11:21] <gnomefreak> its around 5am please forgive me
[11:21] <Tm_T> being!
[11:21] <Tm_T> see?
[11:22] <allee> Tm_T: I know how you feel.  I felt it 6 hous ago ;)
[11:22] <Tm_T> allee: yup, but this has been going on last two years basically :(
[11:23] <allee> Tm_T: oh!
[11:23] <Tm_T> allee: how otherwise I would be hanging here?
[11:23] <allee> lol
[11:24] <allee> Tm_T: good excuse :)
[11:24] <Tm_T> and very true at most part
[11:28] <Tonio_> allee your digikam reached the repos
[11:28] <Tm_T> :)
[11:29] <Tonio_> hunger_t: very interesting for gutsy
[11:29] <allee> Tonio_: yeah, seen it.  Thx!
[11:29] <Tonio_> hunger_t: we should give love to company material and packages in the next dev cycle
[11:30] <Tm_T> allee: anything interesting to see in digikam ?
[11:30] <allee> Tm_T: is the things you see in digikam are interesting depends on your photos :)
[11:30] <LongPointyStick> hi Tonio_
[11:31] <Tonio_> hi LongPointyStick :)
[11:31] <Tm_T> allee: true there
[11:31] <Tm_T> allee: just haven't used digikam ever
[11:32] <allee> Tm_T: We'll I like it a lot :)
[11:32] <Riddell> LongPointyStick: are you hobbsee?
[11:33] <Tm_T> allee: you mean "well" ;)
[11:33] <ajmitch> who else could it be?
[11:33] <Tm_T> allee: I
[11:33] <Tm_T> 'll test it

[11:33] <LongPointyStick> Riddell: yes
[11:34] <LongPointyStick> Riddell: will in a sec, when i reboot
[11:35] <Tm_T> Riddell: hmm, does it need laptop for testing?
[11:35] <Riddell> Tm_T: yes
[11:35] <Riddell> Tm_T: well, it wouldn't do any harm to test on as much hardware as possible really
[11:36] <Tm_T> Riddell: ok, will give it a try :)
[11:39] <Riddell> sebas: still travelling?
[11:39] <Hobbsee> yay, back :)
[11:40] <Riddell> Tonio_: able to test too?
[11:41] <Tm_T> No battery found.
[11:41] <Tm_T> This is not a laptop, quitting ...
[11:42] <Tonio_> Riddell: sure
[11:42] <Riddell> Tm_T: perfect :)
[11:42] <Tm_T> Riddell: that's before patch, now trying with it :p
[11:43] <Tm_T> I remember it doing something even in this machine before
[11:44] <Tm_T> so I ended up removing it all the time
[11:45] <Hobbsee> Riddell: yep, that's fixed it for me
[11:45] <Riddell> Hobbsee: great
[11:45] <Hobbsee> will have to wait for the battery to discharge a bit, to see if it keeps dropping, of course
[11:45] <Tonio_> Riddell: what to test ?
[11:45] <Tm_T> and nothing changed here ofcourse :)
[11:45] <Tonio_> ho guidance
[11:46] <Tm_T> so for non-laptops its ok ;)

[11:46] <Tm_T> hmm, line numbering in that patch is wrong?
[11:47] <Tm_T> not that it would matter much
[11:48] <sebas> Riddell: In London right now
[11:48] <sebas> Back in NL on Saturday night
[11:49] <Tonio_> Riddell: seems to work as expected....
[11:49] <Tonio_> Riddell: I must say I never had the problem before, so maybe my test isn't efficient
[11:50] <Tonio_> Riddell: but the patch at least doesn't seem to break anything :)
[11:50] <Tonio_> Riddell: playing a bit more....
[11:52] <Riddell> sebas: if you can comment on the sanity of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-guidance/+bug/104794 comment 7 that would be good
[11:52] <ubotu> Malone bug 104794 in kde-guidance "guidance-power-manager shows dischanging if battery full" [High,Fix committed]
[11:53] <Tonio_> Riddell: reports "fully charged" when my battery level is 98% only......
[11:53] <Tonio_> Riddell: I'm discharging a bit to make tests
[11:54] <Riddell> Tonio_: even with that patch from comment 7?
[11:55] <Tonio_> Riddell: yup
[11:55] <Tonio_> Riddell: same at 96%...
[11:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: yep still the issue here...
[12:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: hum my problem seems to be different...
[12:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: no issue on discharging for me, works perfectly here
[12:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: my issue is on "charging"
[12:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: reports fully charged whatever is the battery level
[12:01] <Tonio_> Riddell: seems to go to normal state avec about 20 seconds.... now it says me "blabla time to charge"
[12:01] <Tonio_> Riddell: seems okay then ;)
[12:02] <Tonio_> Riddell: everything is okay reguarding to discharging
[12:02] <Tonio_> and when the battery is fully charged, it doesn't say "discharging", so I'd say the patch works
[12:03] <Riddell> Tonio_: ok, phew
[12:03] <Tonio_> just those 20 seconds when pluging the cable are a bit strange :) but not a problem btw
[12:04] <Riddell> that's just how it's done, a port to qt 4 should fix the delay somewhat
[12:04] <Tonio_> Riddell: have a question, I'm trying to upload digikam to edgy-updates, and whatever I do, I get a:
[12:04] <Tonio_> Rejected:
[12:04] <Tonio_> SHA1 sum of uploaded file does not match extant file in archive
[12:05] <Tonio_> Riddell: I tried with debuild -S or debuild -S -sa (uploading the tarball, untouched)
[12:05] <Tonio_> I don't understand what the problem is
[12:05] <Riddell> is your .orig correct?
[12:07] <Tonio_> Riddell: yep, downloaded on packages.ubuntu.com, untouched...
[12:07] <Tonio_> Riddell: when I just debuild -S, the orig isn't even uploaded
[12:08] <Tonio_> looks like it doesn't like the dsc or diff change..... nonsense

[12:48] <Riddell> Lure: ^^
[12:48] <Lure> Riddell: will look into it
[12:49] <Riddell> ah, thought you'd been a bit quiet :)
[12:49] <Riddell> welcome back
[12:51] <Tm_T> Lure: lured back? ;)
[12:52] <Lure> Riddell: yep, current version (if rate: ) is completely wrong
[12:52] <Lure> Riddell: if self.onBattery() is safe to apply
[12:52] <Lure> Riddell: so last patch is correct
[12:53] <Lure> Tm_T: yep, they replaced motherboard and now it is much cooler
[12:53] <Riddell> Lure: great, thanks
[12:53] <Lure> Tm_T: it looks like that my laptop was overheating for some reason and I though that this was normal temperature
[12:56] <Riddell> Lure: do you know what happened to the network manager behaviour where konqueror couldn't connect to websites if you use /etc/networks/interfaces instead of NM?
[12:56] <Riddell> it seems to have fixed itself
[12:56] <Lure> Riddell: no, tollef and scott fixed the n-m
[12:56] <Lure> Riddell: scott's upload today is the way to go
[12:57] <Lure> Riddell: I am just concerned as some fixes are also in nm-applet and if this is required also in knm
[12:57] <Riddell> Lure: yes, that's what I'm working on
[12:57] <Riddell> but the konqueror refusing to connect unless network manager was being used seems to have changed
[12:57] <Lure> Riddell: main problem was in debian backend which dropped most of interfaces and made them not known to n-m
[12:58] <Lure> Riddell: yes, as not knm has proper status and does not say "no network" anymnore if there are interfaces not managed by n-m
[12:58] <Tm_T> Lure: heh, you should've seen my "new" 3d-card, over 120'C and someone said "it's normal for that model"
[12:58] <Lure> Riddell: like static config
[12:59] <Lure> Tm_T: this is really insane - good that I have 3-year warranty
[12:59] <Tm_T> Lure: result: now it has new cooling, but d'oh doesn't work =)
[12:59] <Tm_T> :)
[12:59] <Tm_T> warranty is good
[12:59] <Lure> Tm_T: yep, particually for shitthy HW
[01:00] <Lure> Tm_T: we have 2-3 laptops on service per week :-(
[01:01] <Tm_T> well that's quality
[01:02] <Lure> Tm_T: no, they are known for "hp invent" ;-)
[01:03] <Tm_T> sure it's not H(ard)P(ressure) Invert?
[01:03] <Tm_T> ok, I lost the point there, changed it 3 times on the fly
[01:06] <sebas> Riddell: Should be fixed with the patch Robert sent
[01:06] <sebas> So I agree to Lure
[01:06] <sebas> hack, rate is not even initialised.
[01:07] <Lure> sebas: it is in line 185
[01:08] <Lure> sebas: so it was at least consistent behaviour ;-)
[01:08] <sebas> Lure: Good point
[01:09] <Lure> sebas: and consistent bugs are always easier to find than random ones ;-)
[01:09] <sebas> Hehe :)
[01:15] <Hobbsee> Riddell: so when will that guidance patch get committed/
[01:17] <Riddell> Hobbsee: I've uploaded, will need release dude to accept
[01:18] <Hobbsee> Riddell: right.  what about the charging, which tonio was mentioning?  i can confirm that now
[01:20] <Riddell> Hobbsee: what's the problem?
[01:21] <Hobbsee> Riddell: g-p-m reports the battery fully charged, but it's still charging
[01:21] <Lure> Hobbsee: is there bug opened?
[01:21] <Lure> Hobbsee: would need lshal output to debug
[01:21] <Hobbsee> Lure: dont think so, i've just noticed it.  Tonio_ did too
[01:22] <Hobbsee> Lure: http://buntudot.org/people/~hobbsee/lshal ?
[01:23] <Lure> Hobbsee: is this lshal from the time it wrongly reported as "fully charged"?
[01:23] <Hobbsee> Lure: yes
[01:23] <Hobbsee> Lure: (was that what you wanted?)
[01:24] <Lure> Hobbsee: it is strange as it reports properly as "battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true"
[01:24] <Hobbsee> Lure: well, it is charging, so that bit's reporting right :P
[01:25] <Hobbsee> but yeah...that is weird
[01:26] <Hobbsee> Lure: it appears to think it's discharging, according to the next line
[01:27] <Hobbsee> Warning: While setting SystemPowerManagement to  False :  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.NotSupported: No powersave method found
[01:29] <Riddell> I can't recreate that
[01:31] <Riddell> try this http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kde-guidance-powermanager_0.8.0-0ubuntu5_i386.deb
[01:32] <Hobbsee> that's the new one?
[01:32] <Hobbsee> Riddell: appears a rebuild fixes it, for some reason...
[01:33] <Riddell> phew
[01:33] <Hobbsee> Riddell: as in, the standard version was working when i made changes, so it'd recompile.  i dunno
[01:33] <Hobbsee> Tonio_: ^
[01:34] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: ? :)
[01:34] <Hobbsee> Tonio_: try that deb, see if it fixes the problem
[01:34] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: okay
[01:36] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: discharging for 5 minutes to see what happens
[01:50] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: hum, when repluging, just took 5 seconds from fully charged to "... to charge"
[01:50] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: that's acceptable :)
[01:50] <Hobbsee> Tonio_: cool :)
[01:50] <Tonio_> Hobbsee: we won't call that a bug, but a lag to calculate the time to charge :)
[01:50] <Hobbsee> hehe
[01:51] <Riddell> testers needed for knetwork manager  http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/knetworkmanager_0.1-0ubuntu12_i386.deb
[01:51] <Riddell> Lure: ^^
[01:52] <Riddell> also http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/knetworkmanager_0.1-0ubuntu12.debdiff
[01:54] <Riddell> Hobbsee, Tonio_ ^^
[01:55] <Tonio_> Riddell: sure ;)
[01:55] <ScottK> Riddell: Anything in particular you want us to look for?
[01:55] <Tonio_> Riddell: I don't approve the "manual configuration"....
[01:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: can confuse the users as you can also "manually" set hidden wireless networks
[01:56] <Tonio_> Riddell: in my opinion, static is more clear..... but maybe it is just because I know what "static" IP settings are :)
[01:56] <Lure> ScottK: static IP config should not confuse knetworkmanager
[01:56] <ScottK> OK.
[01:57] <Tonio_> Riddell: but that's just my opinion btw
[01:57] <Lure> ScottK: i.e. switch to wireless or konqueror or kmail thinking that there is no network
[01:58] <Riddell> test that it works
[01:58] <Riddell> then if you can test that it works when you have a static config in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:59] <Riddell> where work means it has a tooltip of "manual config" and a connected icon
[01:59] <Hobbsee> Riddell: appears to work here, but i dotn do static
[01:59] <Tonio_> Riddell: about the "manual configuration" no change here, still "static" after package upgrade...
[02:04] <ScottK> If I disable wireless using knetworkmanager, ath0 still shows enabled in the KDE Control Module.  It is, in fact, not enbabled.
[02:04] <Riddell> knetworkconf is like that
[02:04] <ScottK> OK.  Just wanted to make sure that wasn't a suprise.
[02:05] <Lure> Riddell: otherwise it works fine (better for the case where all interfaces are static)
[02:08] <Tonio_> Riddell: patch works, I can see a "connected" icon
[02:08] <Tonio_> Riddell: but it shows a "cable" connection icon
[02:08] <Tonio_> Riddell: btw that works
[02:09] <Tonio_> Riddell: but "static connection" isn't renamed.... I guess there is a problem there
[02:11] <ScottK> Riddell: I think I have either replicated the problem with the new knetworkmanager, or found another similar one
[02:11] <Lure> Riddell: I have noticed another (minor) issue: if you change interfaces back from static to dhcp with knetworkconf, n-m/knm does not notice this :-(
[02:11] <ScottK> Currently I have a static connection in /etc/networking/interfaces that I started using /etc/init.d/networking start
[02:12] <Tonio_> Lure: yes that's why I restarted to let network-manager restart
[02:12] <Lure> Riddell: you have to restart n-m to make it detect dhcp config back...
[02:12] <Riddell> Tonio_: that's my fault, fixed
[02:12] <ScottK> I can ping sites, but the knetworkmanager tooltip if offline mode is currently active.
[02:12] <Tonio_> Riddell: okay
[02:12] <Riddell> Lure: yeah, blame n-m for that :)
[02:12] <ScottK> Konqueror can't find the network.
[02:13] <Tonio_> Riddell: we should/could patch kentworkconf to restart network-manager when applying changes no ?
[02:13] <ScottK> Riddell: Is that the situation you were trying to recreate?
[02:13] <Lure> ScottK: cat you post your /e/n/i?
[02:13] <Tonio_> Riddell: but that looks big change for feisty :)
[02:13] <Lure> ScottK: are all interfaces static or just some of them?
[02:13] <ScottK> Lure: ??
[02:13] <ScottK> All
[02:13] <Lure> ScottK: sorry: /etc/networking/interfaces
[02:14] <Riddell> ScottK: it should show the wired icon with a tooltip of "manual config"
[02:14] <ScottK> Yes
[02:14] <Lure> ScottK: sorry again: /etc/network/interfaces ;-)
[02:14] <Riddell> Tonio_: maybe, but not for feisty
[02:14] <Tonio_> Riddell: sure
[02:14] <ScottK> Riddell: Nope.
[02:14] <Riddell> ScottK: what do you have?
[02:14] <Tonio_> Riddell: well hopefully next version of nm will be available soon :)
[02:15] <Tonio_> handling static settings by default, so that we can get rid of knetworkconf....
[02:15] <Riddell> that would be nice
[02:16] <ScottK> Riddell: The regulart disconnected tooltip and icon
[02:16] <Riddell> ScottK: restarted network manager?
[02:18] <ScottK> Riddell: I stopped/started with etc/init.d/networking, but didn't restart network manager.  Let me try that.
[02:19] <ScottK> Lure: e/n/i is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15360/
[02:20] <Lure> ScottK: do you have network-manager 0.6.4-6ubuntu7
[02:20] <Lure> ScottK: according to this config, you should see new "Manual config" on tray icon tooltip...
[02:20] <ScottK> That's the one that keybuck asked people to build and test yesterday, right?  If so, yes.
[02:21] <Lure> ScottK: yes
[02:22] <ScottK> Riddell: Now that I restarted network manager it comes up as expected.
[02:22] <ScottK> Lure: Thanks, I think it's as expected now.
[02:24] <ScottK> How long is it supposed to take before it notices that the manual connection is not longer there?
[02:25] <ScottK> Or is it supposed to detect the loss of the connection at all?
[02:26] <ScottK> Lure: So I pulled the ethernet cable (and the wireless card is out) and waited a few minutes and I still have the wired icon and the manual network configuration tooltip.
[02:27] <ScottK> Then I did etc/init.d/networking stop and the wired icon is still there, so to the casual user it looks like I'm connected, but I'm not.
[02:27] <ScottK> Is that expected?
[02:28] <ScottK> Riddell: ^^^^  ?
[02:30] <ScottK> I put the wireless card in and it does not automatically try and connect (I would guess that's expected), but will connect via wireless when I tell it to with proper icon/tooltip.
[02:31] <ScottK> So the only thing that seems odd in the manual configuration is that knetworkmanager never notices the static/manual network connection going away.
[02:34] <Riddell> ScottK: it won't, it only checks for manual config on n-m startup and then you're stuck like that
[02:36] <ScottK> OK.  If that's by design then I think it needs to be boldly noted in the documentation because usually people would associate that icon with actually having a network connection.
[02:36] <Tonio_> re
[02:36] <Tonio_> latest kernel refuses to boot on apple machines again :'(
[02:36] <ScottK> So far I think the new one is good then.
[02:37] <ScottK> Now on to important things like my new fix for pysol works :-)
[02:40] <Hobbsee> ScottK: :)
[02:40] <Hobbsee> ScottK: did that get accepted already?
[02:40] <ScottK> Yeah.
[02:41] <Hobbsee> nice
[02:41] <ScottK> And it even works with the yet another python update I just sucked down.
[02:41] <Lure> Tonio_: there is fixed kernel ready for testing
[02:42] <Lure> Tonio_: ping BenC
[02:44] <Tonio_> Lure: sure
[02:47] <nixternal> Riddell: you need to remove all of the pr0n links from your Debian wiki page :)
[02:48] <ScottK> nixternal: You coordinate tranlsation stuff, right?
[02:49] <nixternal> nope, I just implement it into the kubuntu-docs package
[02:49] <Riddell> nixternal: where?
[02:49] <ScottK> Ah.  OK.  Thanks.
[02:49] <nixternal> at the botton of your wiki page, debian wiki
[02:49] <Riddell> nixternal: URL?
[02:50] <nixternal> http://wiki.debian.org/Utnubu/AboutUbuntu/JonathanRiddell
[02:51] <Hobbsee> oh dear
[02:56] <Tonio_> spam is hillness...
[02:56] <Riddell> nixternal: done, although really it needs to be removed from the database by an admin
[02:56] <nixternal> hehe, k
[02:57] <Tonio_> I'm always surprised those guys can take month to code scripts to spam anything............
[02:57] <nixternal> so network-manager will allow my wifi to work once again right?
[02:57] <nixternal> I can't go mobile, I have to stay plugged into the wall ;p
[03:08] <ScottK> Riddell: I had to reboot to get knetworkmanager to forget about the manual configuration, but I can't break it.  I think it's good.
[03:08] <ScottK> Ideally there would be a different icon for manual configuration.
[03:09] <Riddell> ideally yes, but this is a quick fix needed today, and is the same as gnome has
[03:11] <ScottK> Riddell: Understand. I think it's a significant UI issue for Gutsy.
[03:11] <ScottK> i.e. for fixing in Gutsy
[03:12] <jeroenvrp> is there a list somewhere with the best wificards/sticks you can use for feisty?
[03:13] <ScottK> jeroenvrp: There is information on wiki.ubuntu.com.  Do a title search for wireless.
[03:13] <jeroenvrp> ScottK: thanks
[03:14] <Riddell> ScottK: go ahead, although it might be spec material
[03:14] <ScottK> Riddell: Will do.  I'll get it written down and people can argue did I fill out the right form later.
[03:15] <nixternal> wo0t, and the update to networkmanager fixed my wifi
[03:31] <ScottK> OK.  It's reported.  Bug #106212

[03:34] <ScottK> I've used Dapper --> Edgy --> Feisty with wireless on Kubuntu and the experience gets significantly better with each release.

[04:48] <nixternal> anyone else having issues trying to upgrade the 2.6.20-14-generic image today?
[04:48] <alleeHol> Riddell: and MOTUs just added a suggestion to the wiki eto not add a patch system to keep diff to debian minimal.   Makes sense for core pkgs too IMHO

[05:40] <soulrider_> hi
[05:40] <ScottK> Hi soulrider_
[05:40] <soulrider_> hi ScottK, do you know if there are any ISOs newer than the beta? for feisty that is
[05:41] <ScottK> Yes there are.
[05:41] <Hobbsee> soulrider_: they're broken at the moment, see #ubuntu+1
[05:41] <soulrider_> oh, where can i get them ?
[05:41] <soulrider_> oh :(
[05:41] <ScottK> This is not a good time for updating.
[05:42] <ScottK> If you can install the Beta, go with that for now.
[05:42] <soulrider_> well, i needed to install kubuntu on 2 machines, so i thought feisty would be a good idea
[05:42] <ScottK> Beta + latest updates gets you to current.
[05:42] <soulrider_> do you think feisty is gonna be delayed ?
[05:42] <ScottK> I don't know enough to have an opinion.
[05:42] <Hobbsee> who knows.  maybe, maybe not.  by a couple of days, maybe
[05:42] <soulrider_> ok, i think im just gonna install edgy then :)
[05:43] <Hobbsee> depends how many people test the cds, etc
[05:43] <soulrider_> i see, thanks for the hwlp :)
[05:44] <ScottK> soulrider: Or wait a day or so and install the release candidate when it's announced.  Depends on how rushed you are.
[05:45] <soulrider> rushed as in it needs to be done today :P
[05:45] <soulrider> my dad asked me to install linux, i wanna get it done ASAP, he needs to leave that windows crap
[05:46] <soulrider> i still dont know what to install, if kubuntu or Arch, but i think ill go for kubuntu
[05:47] <ScottK> soulrider: Install Edgy
[05:48] <soulrider> yeah, i think im gonna go for edgy
[05:48] <ScottK> If you're leaving it in the hands of someone who isn't experience with Linux, install the released version.
[05:48] <soulrider> are they changing the decoratons in feisty ?
[05:48] <soulrider> the one sin dapper ownt he ones in edgy
[05:48] <Hobbsee> soulrider: what's there now, in terms of decoration, is final
[05:49] <soulrider> oh, ok Hobbsee
[05:49] <soulrider> i havnt seen you in a while :)
[05:49] <Hobbsee> and working, and such
[05:49] <soulrider> yeah.. me too >.<

[06:37] <Riddell> nixternal, ScottK, kwwii: testers needed for kmail http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kdepim/
[06:37] <Riddell> mhb: ^^
[06:38] <kwwii> Riddell: I'll install that when I get back from grocery shopping
[06:40] <mhb> kmail only?
[06:42] <mhb> Riddell: kmail installed, anything specific to try?
[06:45] <Riddell> mhb: imap I guess
[06:45] <Riddell> mhb: I added a load of patches that debian kindly had to fix various crashes
[06:47] <mhb> oh, my imap provider is down at the moment, pop/gmail seems to work fine
[06:50] <ScottK> Riddell: Can we get the changelog so we know what to look for?
[06:51] <Riddell> ScottK: http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/508  those kde svn revisions
[06:53] <ScottK> Riddell: Thanks
[07:02] <firephoto> Riddell: tested kmail, no imap here, haven't found any problems with my normal usage or clicking through the settings.
[07:03] <Riddell> thanks firephoto
[07:30] <nixternal> Riddell: what is the extreme latest I can have the docs package complete? Slovenian translation error has been found, but carlos and them can't do anything until the db admins respond. they said they would contact me as soon as the issue is fixed
[07:30] <nixternal> otherwise I can package now and we skip that one translation file
[07:31] <Riddell> nixternal: I'd say package now, it can be updated if the fix comes in time
[07:31] <nixternal> roger
[07:31] <Riddell> no fixed time set for release at the moment so I can't give you must of a deadline
[07:35] <ScottK-laptop> Riddell: IMAP is not a happy camper.
[07:36] <ScottK-laptop> I last tried IMAP in Feb and this is worse.
[07:36] <Riddell> fooey
[07:37] <ScottK-laptop> 1.  Inbox is not updated.  Even when I check for new mail, the old mail is still there.  I had this problem before.  If you can suggest where this is stored, maybe if I kill the stale store it'll be better.
[07:37] <\sh> ScottK-laptop: you mean kmails imap?
[07:37] <ScottK-laptop> Yeah
[07:38] <ScottK-laptop> 2.  New a phantom ~/ duplicate set of mail folders that appear as a sub folder.
[07:38] <\sh> ScottK-laptop: the problem is more the imap stack in kmail...
[07:39] <ScottK-laptop> I always try kmail imap and get disgusted in about a minute and give up.
[07:39] <\sh> it's just crap right now...I tried sylpheed-claws with my imapd from cyrus, and it's working even with a 4gb mailbox
[07:39] <Riddell> \sh: he's testing some new packages with patches
[07:39] <fdoving> imap patches?
[07:39] <nixternal> Riddell: all I need to do with that tmp/ for kdepim is wget * and dpkg -i * correct? nothing tricky with it
[07:40] <ScottK> http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kdepim/
[07:40] <Riddell> nixternal: yes
[07:40] <Riddell> fdoving: testers welcome
[07:40] <\sh> Riddell: hmm...I'll test it too, when I'm back home and have highspeed internet again
[07:40] <fdoving> Riddell: do you have a debdiff or a link to the patches? - i'm on ppc.
[07:43] <ScottK-laptop> http://www.kitterman.com/test/snapshot1.png
[07:43] <ScottK-laptop> There's the file structure strangeness I'm seeing.
[07:44] <ScottK-laptop> It's displaying a duplicate folder structure under ~/ and pulling in an FTP directory from I have no idea where.
[07:44] <fdoving> cmake is so nice, can't wait for kde4 to become usable as a main desktop :)
[07:45] <ScottK-laptop> It didn't do that before (as in a month or two ago), so that's some kind of regression.
[07:46] <ScottK-laptop> Note the dates on all but the first message in the inbox.
[07:47] <Riddell> fdoving: hang on
[07:47] <ScottK-laptop> The good news is ksnapshot works great with the installed print screen key.
[07:48] <Riddell> :)
[07:48] <Riddell> fdoving: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kdepim_3.5.6-0ubuntu7.debdiff
[07:48] <fdoving> Riddell: thanks.
[07:57] <ScottK-laptop> pop3 and smpt seem fine.
[08:02] <ScottK-laptop> I guess that's smtp
[08:02] <ScottK-laptop> STARTTLS and SMTPS SSL are both good with SMTP Auth
[08:05] <ScottK-laptop> Well I rm -Rf ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and I got rid of the stuck messages in imap, but still have the directory configuration issue I showed in the screenshot
[08:08] <ScottK-laptop> Thunderbird IMAP does not have any trouble with my providers IMAP directory structure, so I'm definitely going to blame kmail for this one.
[08:08] <fdoving> what server is that?
[08:09] <ScottK-laptop> Do you mean what IMAP server do the use?  Don't recall.  I'll check.
[08:10] <fdoving> what imap-server-software.
[08:11] <fdoving> uw-imap is broken in most cases. even if a few clients are trying to work around its brokenness
[08:11] <fdoving> only pine can handle that server properly. as it's written mainly by the same man.
[08:13] <ScottK-laptop> * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN]  kitterman.com IMAP4rev1 2004.357-p2k server ready at Fri, 13 Apr 2007 14:12:56 -0400 (EDT)
[08:13] <ScottK-laptop> Their web site doesn't say.
[08:14] <ScottK-laptop> According to Mr. Google that's uw-imap
[08:15] <ScottK-laptop> In may be broken, but kmail is dealing with it even less well now than it did before.
[08:15] <ScottK-laptop> Riddell: Anything else you want me to look at while I'm here?  I have some actual paying work I need to get back to soon.
[08:16] <Riddell> ScottK-laptop: no, that's all thanks
[08:16] <ScottK-laptop> OK.  I'll leave the packages installed in case you think of something else.
[08:19] <nixternal> so everyone is testing kdepim and imap it seems, good, I have the POP3 covered then
[08:19] <nixternal> ls
[08:19] <nixternal> doh
[08:19] <ScottK> If by everyone you mean me, then yes.
[08:31] <nixternal> all seems well so far with the kdepim updates
[08:31] <nixternal> there were dependency errors with kleopatra that were easily fixed, other than that, it seems OK for me
[08:31] <nixternal> anything specific that should be tested?
[08:38] <ScottK> nixternal: I've run into an issue you might try to reproduce...
[08:38] <nixternal> what is that?
[08:39] <ScottK> I don't store passwords on the test box, so when I open Kontact it pops open a window to ask for the password.  If I leave Kontact open and reboot, when it pops that extra window open I get the "You appear to have more than once instance of Kontact" warning.
[08:39] <ScottK> When I say not to start the "second" instance, I get no Kontact at all.
[08:40] <ScottK> The password window shouldn't be tripping that check I wouldn't think.
[08:40] <nixternal> ya, that has happened with releases prior to this one iirc
[08:40] <ScottK> OK
[08:40] <nixternal> I use a password from kwallet
[08:41] <nixternal> and I know if I don't auth first and then reboot, like after an upgrade or fixing my system, I will get that same warning iirc
[08:42] <ScottK> OK.  I don't see a bug, so I'll file one.
[08:46] <ScottK> It's a real problem though.  When I don't say no to the dialog I actually get two instances running.
[08:47] <ScottK> Riddell: Another issue for you ^^^
[09:02] <Riddell> nixternal: how's the docs?

[09:34] <goldenear> but it doesn't work...
[09:34] <goldenear> The full upgrade button in Adept is disabled (grey)
[09:36] <goldenear> do I have to test the update methode for server (update-manager) ?
[09:39] <Daskreech> seele: You are talking about giving basic CS Uni training to all users of the Live CD
[09:39] <firephoto> goldenear: it's just grey because your system is up to date, you should be able to continue on with the instructions.
[09:43] <atypic> I hate to nag, but should I perhaps show my interest some other place, like on the mailing list; as opposed to here?
[09:43] <goldenear> If your system is up to date, the upgrade wizard will be offered it via the Version Upgrade button <-- where's that button ?
[09:45] <Riddell> goldenear: follow the beta instructions
[09:46] <goldenear> ok I was on the wrong instruction page :)
[09:46] <goldenear> found it now :D
[09:47] <firephoto> ScottK: I don't get that crash you mention in 106305. i tried it on on a new user too.
[09:47] <ScottK> I didn't get it after I restarted either.
[09:48] <ScottK> At the time I was replicating the multiple instances at startup problem I discussed above with nixternal.
[09:49] <ScottK> It may be a legacy of having previously had two instances running at the same time.
[09:59] <nixternal> talk about a tedious makefile
[10:00] <fdoving> docs makefiles?
[10:00] <nixternal> ya
[10:00] <nixternal> I saved a little time by doing 'ls $$doc/ >$$doc/lang'
[10:01] <nixternal> and then reading that in with `for cc in `cat $$doc/lang`; do
[10:01] <nixternal> which makes future editing a little easier
[10:01] <nixternal> testing it now, seems to be building just fine
[10:02] <nixternal> it makes the html file pretty quickly
[10:02] <nixternal> it is doing it quicker than the $(KBASE)%: junk
[10:03] <fdoving> Riddell: might want to change from sudo to kdesu when executing the dist-upgrader at the FeistyUpgrades page, beta section.
[10:03] <fdoving> didn't work for me with sudo.
[10:03] <fdoving> nixternal: i don't remember. probably sean wheller.
[10:03] <nixternal> whew ;p
[10:03] <fdoving> i think i did only packaging.
[10:04] <fdoving> my name should be somewhere in there :)
[10:05] <nixternal> ya, it was I think
[10:05] <nixternal> dunno if it made it into the new makefiles or not
[10:05] <fdoving> doesn't matter anyway. :)
[10:05] <nixternal> ya, the new make files is tbh: and clean:
[10:05] <nixternal> that is it
[10:05] <fdoving> the new dist-upgrader is nice.
[10:05] <nixternal> s/is/are tbh:/
[10:05] <nixternal> that is to upgrade from edgy > feisty correct?
[10:06] <fdoving> yes.
[10:06] <seele> Daskreech: if average users can't install Kubuntu, how are they ever supposed to use it?
[10:06] <nixternal> OK, I am gonna have to install edgy on a box and dist-upgrade them
[10:06] <nixternal> seele: remember, most Windows users do not know how to install Windows :)
[10:06] <seele> nixternal: thats not true
[10:07] <fdoving> most computers come with windows preinstalled.
[10:07] <fdoving> they usually don't need to.
[10:07] <seele> you basically put in the Windows CD and click next
[10:07] <nixternal> fdoving: correct, but when it comes time to reinstall or what not, most "typical" users are stuck
[10:07] <ScottK> seele: Try to do that with Vista...
[10:07] <seele> messing with harddrive space is always going to be difficult, but that doesnt mean it has to be as hard as it is
[10:07] <nixternal> however I think most oems fix that though and make it a "click once" exprience
[10:07] <nixternal> ScottK: that is cheating!
[10:07] <nixternal> haha
[10:09] <nixternal> I remember installing via LiveCD recently, I was lost at that part, so I downloaded the alternate CD instead. The LiveCD partitioning is/was kind of nuts
[10:09] <fdoving> i always use the alternate installer, i like d-i. then i don't consider myself an average user either.
[10:11] <fdoving> i have tried the livecd a few times, it's OK. i just like d-i better.
[10:12] <Daskreech> atypic: What do you want to help with?
[10:13] <nott2> have they upload the fix for kernel 2.6.20-14 yet ?, note: there seem to be a error with the website "403"
[10:13] <fdoving> nott2: yes, it's in progress afaik.
[10:14] <Daskreech> seele: True but how many of the users you tested understand what a hard drive was?
[10:14] <Daskreech> ScottK: Loads I would bet :)
[10:15] <nott2> fdoving: thanks, for the heads up
[10:16] <Daskreech> I always have an alternate CD but I mostly use the Desktop since a) it's much faster and b) it's fun to be able to do stuff like hang out here while installing
[10:16] <atypic> That is the question I was hoping you(or someone) could help me answer. I'm basically a uni.student with a bit of time on my hands and knowledge of C, perl and a few other languages. I need somewhere to start - Now, I realize of course that I can run around trying to track bugs and the like, but in the end that sounds rather discouraging. I'd much rather help out on something a bit more specific...
[10:17] <ScottK> atypic: Do you have any experience with KDE programming?
[10:17] <Daskreech> seele: I think that if people know what a hard drive is then it's just explaining the term partition
[10:17] <Daskreech> atypic: Choose something you like/ you think needs help
[10:18] <ScottK> atypic: There is also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[10:20] <fdoving> atypic: anything special you like to do? most of KDE is C++ and qt, there are also a few python programs.
[10:23] <atypic> I've coded QT and found it enjoyable, it's basically the reason I use kubuntu.
[10:25] <ScottK> atypic: klamav is in need of some love at the moment.  Interested in looking at it?
[10:25] <ScottK> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klamav/
[10:28] <atypic> Yeah, that looks interesting. I'll start looking at it right now.
[11:12] <seele> Daskreech: they know what a hard drive is.. but "partition" is degrees higher in understanding
[11:13] <Daskreech> seele: How?
[11:15] <Daskreech> If you can understand volume you must be able to grasp putting volume aside for a purpose
[11:17] <ScottK> IIRC Apple uses the term slice of a hard drive in their documentation.
[11:18] <Daskreech> Yeah which doesn't make much more sense :)
[11:20] <seele> ScottK: and that doesnt do much better of a job of getting the point across
[11:21] <seele> understanding the concept of a partition is much different from understanding a "folder"
[11:21] <seele> it requires some understanding how the computer works
[11:21] <seele> its not in the average users vocabulary
[11:22] <seele> they dont talk about it on the news or tech shopper guide
[11:22] <seele> you assume that every user with even high level computer understanding is familiar with partitions
[11:23] <seele> but i tested a guy who had two years of a uni computer science program who didnt know what was going on
[11:23] <seele> and hes more advanced than what we typically classify as "average"
[11:23] <rbrunhuber> there is a problem with update in feisty:
[11:23] <rbrunhuber> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main linux-image-2.6.20-14-generic 2.6.20-14.23
[11:23] <rbrunhuber>   403 Forbidden [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[11:24] <nixternal> rbrunhuber: it is known, it will eventually work itself out
[11:24] <rbrunhuber> nixternal: permission problems are normally not the kind of problems that works themselfes out (my experience)
[11:24] <Daskreech> seele: That is true. I know people who can install hard drives but don't know the concept of a partition
[11:25] <ScottK> rbrunhuber: It's on purpose to keep you from downloading a known bad kernel
[11:25] <nixternal> rbrunhuber: they have done that to temporarily disallow people from downloading the broken kernel upgrade
[11:25] <Daskreech> seele: My point is that it is not a vast jump once you know what a hard drive is different from a mouse
[11:25] <seele> Daskreech: and you would expect someone who can install a hard drive be able to install an operating system.. yet if they dont know what a partition is theyre going to fail
[11:25] <seele> Daskreech: i disagree, it is a very big jump
[11:25] <marseillai_> nixternal: but 14.24 is avalaible so why apt-get still want download the 14.23 too ?
[11:26] <rbrunhuber> Scott, nixternal: I see.
[11:26] <seele> i'm not saying that partitions are bad, but we are finding ubiquity is doing less than an effective job of supporting users who dont have enough information to deal with them
[11:26] <nixternal> marseillai_: dunno, haven't looked much into it, I am just regurgetating what I was told earlier
[11:26] <marseillai_> oki
[11:26] <marseillai_> continue to wait
[11:26] <seele> and knowing how a partition works exactly should not be a prerequisite to installing an operating system
[11:26] <ScottK> marseillai_: Is it in that repository for the correct architecture yet?
[11:27] <rbrunhuber> The other question is why want i download this image if it downloaded 2.6.20-15-generic in the same run?
[11:27] <marseillai_> ScottK: dunno
[11:27] <rbrunhuber> /me kicks out the old -14 kernel and all should be fixed
[11:29] <nott2> I try to update, but the keep getting "403", kernel 2.6.20-14 cash the sys
[11:29] <nixternal> this docs package will be building forever
[11:31] <Daskreech> seele: I agree it's not being brought across properly but I think that if you can get the concept that your hard drive is a space for you to store things (like having a cabinet) then you can understand putting aside space for a purpose (like having a room to put the cabinet in)
[11:33] <Daskreech> seele: We just need to figure out a nice little mascot that explains it. Like Get Perpendicular :)
[11:34] <Daskreech> seele: Well ... I guess not knowing what a partition is shouldn't be a requirement. But doesn't ubiquity have a handle this for me button?
[11:39] <Daskreech> seele: Oh one question
[11:40] <Daskreech> Are you looking at people who don't understand what a hard drive is or people who understand but are confused by partitions?
[11:45] <seele> no
[11:45] <atypic> I don't really see how anyone can fail to "get it" when they see a pizza-slice diagram and a little explanation that says "this is all the room your computer has for programs and files"  - "this is a part we are reserving for this and that, this is another..."
[11:46] <seele> i am looking at people who have experience installing and configuring applications on their computer and or (re)installing windows
[11:46] <seele> atypic: you know how it works so its easy for you to understand
[11:46] <seele> the problem is "partition" isnt even in their vocabulary
[11:47] <seele> so even after you explain it, its not clear
[11:47] <seele> which.. thats ok if they can get it enough to figure out where they want to install something
[11:47] <seele> but the problem is compounded when the tools to interact with the partition do not support users who do not have intimate knowledge of how they work
[11:47] <seele> then you start to see some serious conceptual problems -- as we are seeing in ubiquity
[11:48] <Daskreech> seele: Yeah. I was trying to sort out the interface
[11:48] <Daskreech> one of the problems  is that Windows users are comfortale with thining of partitions as a nwe drive
[11:49] <Daskreech>  new
[11:49] <Daskreech>  I think there is only one place in the Windows Ecosystem that it is shown otherwise
[11:49] <seele> well they dont know of it as a partition
[11:49] <seele> they see it as a drive
[11:49] <seele> and most of the times.. it *is* a new physical drive
[11:51] <Daskreech>  and even there it's split to show the "true view" and the view they are used to working with
[11:51] <Daskreech> seele: Yeah but the point is they don't know the difference
[11:52] <Daskreech> a partiton is the same as DVD burner
[11:52] <seele> yes
[11:52] <Daskreech> Hmm
[11:52] <Daskreech> Ok seeing your dillema
[11:52] <Daskreech> Is canonical averse to question mark buttons
[11:53] <seele> no idea
[11:55] <Riddell> fdoving: why kdesu?
[12:00] <Daskreech> I could see a pretty detailed (but light) explanation of partitions on a button tied to the word
[12:02] <seele> in addition to fixing the interface so the user doesn't have to rely on the knowledge as much? :)
[12:05] <Daskreech> seele: I don't know how fast that's going to happen :-D but yes of course in addition to that
[12:11] <nixternal> Riddell: should we skip translations that are less than 25% complete like ubuntu-docs does?


[10:53] <berdario> is it possible to have 2 remote bug watches on the same launchpad bug?
[10:54] <berdario> a bug as been marked as resolved upstream, and a new one has been opened (for the same bug) on a different project... I don't think that launchpad can manage this on its own, so I already linked the other project on the launchpad bug, but I can't find where I should put the remote bug information
[11:02] <berdario> ok, found out how to do it
[14:51] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek Day 3 (last day) starting in 8 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom
[14:54] <dholbach> om26er, ready?
[14:55] <om26er> dholbach, hey yes almost ready or getting ready :)
[14:55] <dholbach> sweet
[16:53] <bdmurray> mvo: bug 901413 is kind of weird and about ubiquity upgrades
[16:53] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 901413 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "11.10 installer crashes when removing packages due to not finding gac-package-remove (affects: 5) (dups: 5) (heat: 46)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/901413
[19:52] <mvo> bdmurray: that is a bug in libgkeyfile1.0-cil  I think, was that a keep-home-and-upgrade install?
[19:52] <bdmurray> mvo: as far as I can tell yes
[19:54] <mvo> I would suspect its some sort of package-relation bug in libgkeyfile1.0-cil
[19:57] <bdmurray> mvo: even though it is the first of many packages not able to find gac-package-remove?
[19:59]  * mvo looks
[20:01] <mvo> bdmurray: I don't even know where that normally belongs too, but apt-file is my friend
[20:01] <bdmurray> I think its cli-common
[20:02] <bdmurray> which is a dependency of libgkeyfile1.0-cil
[20:02] <mvo> yeah, thats it
[20:02] <bdmurray> in the logs I didn't see anything about cli-common
[20:02] <bdmurray> but I didn't know if that means its not installed or something else

[20:11] <bdmurray> mvo: okay, thanks
[20:12] <mvo> bdmurray: but it looks very odd indeed, thanks for brining it up, I wonder if maybe apt-clone is doing crazy stuff without a network?

[04:58] <goodtime> im a man
[04:59] <goodtime> config
[04:59] <goodtime> ha
[06:05] <Hepe> Hello again. (I have Kubuntu 14.10 which I recently upgraded from 14.04.1 LTS) So in an attempt to install Plasma 5, I tried to follow the following commands http://pastebin.com/pByGC4SK, as found in the http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu page.
[06:07] <Hepe> Suddenly though, after sudo apt install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop, my network stopped working. And I couldn't re-connect back via the network manage applet at all.
[06:07] <Hepe> So, I did sudo reboot, which was the next step. After rebooting though, I couldn't go beyond the lightdm login screen, (it hangs).
[06:08] <Hepe> I'm sure lightdm is supposed to be replaced by sddm, although I'm not sure how sddm is supposed to look like.
[06:08] <valorie> hepe, did you choose SDDM or lightdm?
[06:09] <Hepe> During the installation, I did choose ssdm.
[06:09] <Hepe> For sure.
[06:09] <Hepe> sddm *
[06:09] <valorie> ok, try in the console: `sudo apt remove lightdm`
[06:09] <Hepe> ok
[06:10] <valorie> we've found that for a few, including me, it isn't removed correctly
[06:11] <valorie> I also encountered that network-manager bug
[06:11] <Hepe> (basically I couldn't do that sudo apt full-upgrade commad, and it's not exactly completing well with my shit connection via wvdial in the console ;p)
[06:11] <Hepe> Ah ok.
[06:11] <valorie> do you have access to a wire?
[06:11] <Hepe> No :(
[06:12] <valorie> :(
[06:12] <valorie> at least you have some connection
[06:12] <Hepe> I did however, get wvdial working with my wireless modem.
[06:12] <Hepe> Yep.
[06:12] <valorie> excellent
[06:13] <valorie> was lightdm removed when you did that above command?
[06:14] <Hepe> Just did it- and yes, it apparently has been removed. Should I reboot?
[06:14] <valorie> well, how about `sudo apt install -f` first
[06:14] <valorie> to make sure everything that should be installed, is
[06:14] <Hepe> ok
[06:15] <Hepe> Nothing really from that command, just 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded.
[06:16] <valorie> so, any reason not to do the `sudo apt full-upgrade` now?
[06:16] <valorie> it's really best to complete the upgrade before rebooting
[06:16]  * Hepe connects to modem
[06:17] <valorie> to be honest, I had to do this a few times
[06:17] <valorie> update, install -f , full-upgrade
[06:18] <valorie> and I had to install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop more than once as well
[06:18] <valorie> best to follow the script as precisely as you can
[06:18] <valorie> sec
[06:27] <valorie> Hepe: still here?
[06:27] <Hepe> Yea.
[06:27] <valorie> you may need to use: sudo start sddm
[06:27] <valorie> if it doesn't
[06:27] <Hepe> Sorry, having problems upgrading with my shit connection :P
[06:27] <valorie> also, what I used to get online was nmcli
[06:27] <Hepe> now it worked though, so just staring at the screen.
[06:28] <valorie> hard to figure out how to use, but by constantly reading man nmcli, I was able to work out how to turn on my connection again
[06:28] <Hepe> nmcli is really weird
[06:28] <valorie> yes
[06:29] <Hepe> or at least, too hard for me -.-
[06:29] <Hepe> I know I did the correct ID for my connection..but it wouldn't do it so meh.
[06:29] <valorie> one step at a time
[06:29] <valorie> well you have to use one part for discovery
[06:29] <valorie> and another to get a connection
[06:30] <valorie> uber-strange indeed
[06:35] <Hepe> omg this is the second time that it has happened.
[06:36] <Hepe> I think: my laptop sent in screen saver mode, but when I pressed a key, it went into the light dm login screen.
[06:36] <Hepe> and now doing ctrl+alt+f1/f2 is not working...
[06:36] <Hepe> any way to bring back the console?
[06:38] <Hepe> or do I have to reboot again? :/
[06:38] <valorie> yikes, lightdm wasn't removed?
[06:38] <Hepe> I don't know how sddm is supposed to look...does it look radically different?
[06:39] <Hepe> because this looks like lightdm.
[06:39] <valorie> yes, I think so
[06:39] <valorie> can't remember what the lightdm used to look like
[06:39] <Hepe> (I don't use the lightdm classic user bar thing)... so everything is like before including my custom lightdm wallpaper
[06:39] <valorie> :(
[06:39] <Hepe> besides this small button under the password box
[06:40] <Hepe> like, it has become super tiny?
[06:40] <Hepe> "plasma workspace" button or something
[06:40] <valorie> so there is alt+sys+rq+4
[06:40] <valorie> let me look that up
[06:40] <valorie> so I don't misquote
[06:41] <Hepe> ugh, I want to see that sudo apt full-upgrade process completed
[06:41] <valorie> yes
[06:41] <Hepe> I don't believe once it was done, it would have gone to this..screen
[06:41] <valorie> so for me, it was ctl alt printscr f
[06:42] <valorie> some keyboards have a sysrq button
[06:42] <Hepe> my laptop does not
[06:42] <valorie> it stops whatever process is locking things up
[06:42] <Hepe> how can you press 4 keys at once? :o ctrl+alt+prnt.. +f ?
[06:42] <Hepe> (or I understood wrong)
[06:42] <valorie> hard on the fingers, for sure
[06:43] <Hepe> nothing happened.
[06:43] <valorie> and you have to keep pressing f until things unfreeze
[06:43] <Hepe> well it hasn't freezed, that lightdm logging screen is just "working"
[06:43] <Hepe> ofc if I try to actual login, the last time I tried, it hung again.
[06:43] <valorie> huh
[06:43] <valorie> freaky
[06:43] <Hepe> :|
[06:44] <valorie> so why can't you do the full-upgrade?
[06:44] <Hepe> I was running that in console, and then my laptop went into screensave...and when I pressed a key to bring it out of it
[06:44] <valorie> oh, because you can't re-login
[06:44] <Hepe> I was at the lightdm login screen
[06:44] <Hepe> and now, doing ctrl+alt+f1/.etc doesn't bring console back
[06:44] <valorie> maybe you have to press f like a madman
[06:45] <Hepe> how is this happening? :S
[06:45] <Hepe> it's a login screen for sure
[06:45] <Hepe> the restart. shutdown, suspend buttons work or look like they work too.
[06:45] <valorie> lightdm is a monster, I guess
[06:45] <valorie> then you might restart I guess
[06:45] <valorie> :(
[06:46] <Hepe> Welp, I'll try to pay attention the next time to not let it go into screen saver mode .-;
[06:46] <valorie> I got through it
[06:46] <valorie> you can to
[06:47] <valorie> the basic problem is that by installing plasma 5, you are installing unstable software
[06:47] <valorie> as did I
[06:47] <valorie> 14.04 was dead stable, and it got boring
[06:47] <Hepe> omg, now completly white.
[06:47] <valorie> nothing to test, no bugs to report
[06:47] <Hepe> "white screen" after booting up...
[06:47] <Hepe> past the "Kubuntu logo"
[06:47] <Hepe> ...
[06:47] <valorie> get to a console again
[06:47] <Hepe> ok
[06:48] <valorie> try: `apt-cache policy lightdm`
[06:48] <valorie> if it is still installed, remove it again
[06:48] <valorie> I actually had to remove kdm too!
[06:48] <valorie> and I've never used it
[06:49] <Hepe> Let's see
[06:49] <Hepe> "lightdm:
[06:49] <Hepe> Installed: (none)
[06:49] <valorie> excellent
[06:49] <valorie> check for kdm
[06:49] <Hepe> Candidate: 1.12.1-0ubuntu1
[06:49] <valorie> that means it is not installed
[06:50] <Hepe> ok
[06:50] <valorie> ok, can you start again at the top of your little script?
[06:50] <Hepe> so same command as above, except for kdm instead of lightdm
[06:50] <Hepe> and same sort of thing
[06:50] <valorie> yes
[06:50] <valorie> ok, I thought you already did that
[06:50] <Hepe> Installed: (none)
[06:50] <valorie> good
[06:51] <valorie> so do again:
[06:51] <valorie> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next
[06:51] <valorie> sudo apt update
[06:51] <valorie> before going any further
[06:52] <valorie> if everything is already cool, no harm done
[06:54]  * Hepe waits for it to finish updating...
[06:54] <valorie> aha
[06:54] <Hepe> ok
[06:55] <Hepe> so it's done but
[06:55] <valorie> then it had not completely updated before for some reason
[06:55] <valorie> but?
[06:55] <Hepe> "27 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them."
[06:55] <valorie> right, not yet
[06:55] <Hepe> ok
[06:55] <valorie> sudo apt install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop
[06:55] <Hepe> ok
[06:56] <Hepe> and
[06:56] <Hepe> "Kubuntu-plasma5-desktop is already the newest version"
[06:56] <valorie> cool
[06:56] <valorie> now: sudo apt full-upgrade
[06:57] <valorie> that will be those 27 packages
[06:57] <Hepe> hehe, I've been doing this for a couple of times now....so it's now
[06:57] <Hepe> "27 ugraded, 56 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
[06:57] <valorie> like I said, I had to do it at least twice
[06:58] <valorie> cool
[06:58] <Hepe> "Need to get 8,819 kb/45.3 mb of archives."
[06:58] <Hepe> that, has been reduced ^
[06:58] <valorie> good deal
[06:58] <Hepe> it was bigger the first time, and lowered down the second time... fml :D
[06:58] <Hepe> (constantly getting interrupted, basically)
[06:59] <valorie> no, that means you already got some
[06:59] <Hepe> yea
[07:00] <Hepe> ugh, I just feel I'll get interrupted again :P
[07:00] <Hepe> going to press the key every 1 min to just be safe.
[07:00] <Hepe> a *
[07:00] <valorie> it shouldn't make a diff, but sure
[07:00] <Hepe> that screen saver thing really was weird :/
[07:01] <Hepe> otherwise, yep, it really should not
[07:06] <Hepe> 13.5 kb atm ...
[07:06] <Hepe> evil internet
[07:06] <Hepe> well it's moving between 21 and that sometimes.
[07:08] <valorie> my sympathy
[07:09] <Hepe> done downloading
[07:14] <Hepe> Done.
[07:14] <Hepe> So now, reboot?
[07:14] <valorie> you can do the install -f if you doubt it
[07:14] <valorie> you know about the up-arrow, right?
[07:15] <Hepe> yea
[07:15] <valorie> ok
[07:15] <Hepe> bash history?
[07:15] <valorie> yep
[07:15] <valorie> less chance of typos
[07:16] <Hepe> doing sudo apt install -f resulted in "the following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required'
[07:16] <valorie> well, I usually wait for a reboot, but what is it saying will be removed?
[07:16] <Hepe> kde-window-manager-common libkdecorations4ab libkwineffects1abi5 plasma-widget-lancelot (I probably made some typos in this list)
[07:17] <Hepe> mm I tried to install lancelot recently, but that's beside the point
[07:17] <valorie> that's fine, follow that advice
[07:17]  * Hepe does apt-get autoremove
[07:17] <valorie> not sure lancelot is available yet for p5
[07:18] <Hepe> done, so now doing sudo reboot
[07:19] <valorie> very good
[07:21] <Nexia> Sorry for that.
[07:22] <Nexia> nick Hepe
[07:22] <Hepe> So, after rebooting, it seems to have worked.
[07:22] <Hepe> It is different from lightdm indeed :P
[07:23] <valorie> \o/
[07:23] <Hepe> Oh my god, this is beautiful
[07:24] <Hepe> Thanks a lot valorie :)
[07:24] <valorie> now file lotsa bug reports!
[07:24] <valorie> and enjoy
[07:24] <Hepe> hehe, thanks again.
[07:53] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:32] <Hepe> While Plasma 5 is looking good, it's crashing too quickly, like getting "hung" up constantly if I try to do something like open muon and instantly try to search.
[08:32] <Hepe> Normal or?
[08:32] <valorie> unfortunately will last for a few more days
[08:33] <valorie> fixed in git though
[08:33] <Hepe> ah
[08:33] <valorie> this is what I try first: `kquitapp plasma5 && plasma5 &`
[08:33] <Hepe> ok
[08:34] <mokush> anybody else experiencing the dolphin freezes with plasma5? it just gets stuck after keeping open for about an hour
[08:34] <Hepe> How many days do you approximately mean when you say "a few more days"? :D
[08:34] <valorie> but usually I have to: killall -9 plasmashell && plasmashell &
[08:35] <valorie> and then: plasmashell </dev/null &>/dev/null &
[08:35] <valorie> sad but true
[08:35] <valorie> not sure why that fix isn't in /next yet
[08:35] <valorie> not what I typed, but the actual fix
[08:36] <valorie> what I typed is just a workaround
[08:36] <Hepe> I see :o
[08:36] <Hepe> better note it on a piece of paper
[08:37] <valorie> I learned this in the plasma chan, I didn't make it up....
[08:37] <lordievader> valorie: #plasma?
[08:38] <valorie> yes
[08:39] <lordievader> Perhaps I should join...
[09:06] <valorie> Hepe: can I ask you to go back through your bash history and check that you followed the install instructions perfectly the first time around?
[09:07] <valorie> because you encountered so many of the same difficulties
[09:07] <valorie> also, does your wireless work normally now?
[09:31] <rydhwan> hello allllll
[09:32] <lordievader> o/
[09:33] <rydhwan> im in kubuntu plasma 5.1.1 ram in use is 1776 it's enorme ?
[09:33] <yossarianuk> rydhwan: is it good btw ?
[09:34] <lordievader> rydhwan: What is the uptime?
[09:34] <rydhwan> in ram no
[09:34] <denysonique> Is Global Menu available for Plasma 5?
[09:34] <rydhwan> yes
[09:35] <lordievader> rydhwan: For me it was the same yesterday, but that was with an uptime of a day. Today I rebooted, a fresh Plasma5 comsumed ~750 Mb here.
[09:36] <denysonique> I have plasma-widget-menubar installed and it does not seem to be available as an item to be added from the panel menu
[09:36] <valorie> rydhwan: try (in the cli) `plasmashell </dev/null &>/dev/null &`
[09:36] <rydhwan> oh rebooted i wil do
[09:36] <valorie> after plasma starts
[09:36] <lordievader> valorie: Does plasmashell need input?
[09:36] <valorie> there is currently a bug which causes almost constant error messages, now fixed in git
[09:37] <valorie> that just hides those errors instead of saving them on your disk
[09:37] <valorie> or rather, disappears them
[09:37] <valorie> lordievader: it works for me just as I pasted
[09:38]  * lordievader thinks the '</dev/null' is too much.
[09:40] <rydhwan> plasmashell </dev/null &>/dev/null &     [1] 23716
[09:41] <rydhwan> what's that
[09:41] <valorie> it works.....
[09:41] <denysonique> rydhwan: I do not see it as an option to add to a panel (the global menu)
[09:41] <valorie> not sure what the message is; plasma 5 stops crashing when I do that
[09:58] <bewolf> hi
[09:58] <bewolf> there is a franch channel ?

[11:37] <yossarianuk> this maybe a question for #kde really - but here goes ....  is there a way to see what time you locked your desktop ?  (using KDE)
[11:37] <yossarianuk> as sometimes I forget to check what time i locked my desktop when i go for lunch ....
[11:37] <yossarianuk> (and want to know when I should be back @ work..)
[11:37] <yossarianuk> is that logged anywhere ?
[11:39] <hateball> yossarianuk: doesnt seem like it
[11:39] <hateball> one could probably write a wrapper around kscreensaver that touches a file or some such at launch
[11:39] <yossarianuk> hateball:ok - worth asking ...
[11:40] <yossarianuk> maybe I should write a lunchtime.sh script...
[11:42] <nagerst> where can i find qtcurve-qt5 for ubuntu?
[11:44] <soee> nagerst: some libs or are you talking about kde-style-qtcurve5 ?
[11:45] <nagerst> the latter
[11:46] <soee> what kubuntu version are you running ?
[11:46] <nagerst> trusty
[11:47] <soee> nagerst: i think its not availabel for trusty
[11:48] <soee> atleast not from ubuntu repositories
[11:48] <nagerst> that i know
[11:48] <nagerst> this ppa claims successful builds
[11:48] <nagerst> https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ci/+archive/ubuntu/unstable/+build/6385865
[11:48] <nagerst> but the packages is not available when you look in the ppa
[11:49] <soee> nagerst: but it is kde-style-qtcurve not kde-style-qtcurve5
[11:50] <soee> but anyway it sis for utopic
[11:50] <nagerst> i could just do a dist-upgrade. no biggie
[12:08] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:14] <alket-w> hi
[12:14] <BluesKaj> hi alket-w
[12:15] <alket-w> finally from this week , they let me use kubuntu at work, after 1 year :)
[12:16] <BluesKaj> so no apps that require windows at your workplace?
[12:18] <alket-w> i'm web dev
[12:18] <alket-w> i have to use some psd , but i can do it now with brackets
[12:20] <BluesKaj> alket-w, what's the attitude towards linux in your workplace?
[12:22] <alket-w> I was the first to mention it :)
[12:23] <alket-w> they're afarid so i cannot be productive enough
[12:24] <BluesKaj> heh, they should be more afraid of windows
[12:29] <BluesKaj> Windows finally patched a line of code that made all windows OSs since W95 vulnerable to remote control after 19 yrs
[12:29] <denysonique> LOL
[12:31] <BluesKaj> the IT guys where I used to work think linux is just for hobbyists and not to be taken seriously ...was very surprised by that statement
[12:36] <BluesKaj> since they run Cisco servers etc
[12:41] <alket-w> lol
[13:42] <vros> how to remove Akonadi?
[13:43] <vros> ~kubuntu 12.04
[13:45] <BluesKaj> vros, you can't without taking the kubuntu-desktop with it
[13:45] <BluesKaj> just don't enable it
[13:46] <BluesKaj> unless you plan on using kmail and other PIM apps
[13:49] <vros_> I know it. Surprise me!
[13:51] <vros_> or maybe crash something, that  the akonadi can't start
[14:15] <Riddell> ** Kubuntu talk n 45 mins at http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22363/community-1411-showoff-kubuntu-plasma-/
[15:49] <vros> How to remove Akonadi?
[15:49] <vros> or maybe crash something, that  the akonadi can't start
[15:49] <vros> need more kb in memory and more privacy. Build it on lowlatency.
[15:52] <vros> &?
[15:54] <rom1504> yeah indeed I need more knowledge base in memory too
[15:55] <vros> How to remove Akonadi?
[15:56] <rom1504> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+remove+akonadi
[16:04] <BerWeb> Hey there!
[16:04] <BerWeb> Have Kubuntu any sofware programm, like in wubuntu "Software centre" ?
[16:05] <BerWeb> *ubuntu
[16:05] <lordievader> BerWeb: Yes, Muon.
[16:06] <BerWeb> Awesome, I really like linux (*buntu)
[16:06] <BerWeb> :-)
[16:06] <BerWeb> Thankls
[16:07] <rom1504> BerWeb: what about apt-get ?
[16:09] <BerWeb> i think apt-get are in there..
[16:09] <vros> BerWeb, Synaptic still best
[16:10] <BluesKaj> BerWeb, kmenu>apps>software center
[16:12] <vros> However, if I remove Akonady, then I'll see clear X. then how to install graphic's?
[16:13] <vros> seems need slack repos for rebuild kde
[16:19] <vros> How to rebuild kde without akonadi (ubuntu 12.04 lowlatency)?
[16:21] <vros> seems it is guru's question)
[16:22] <BluesKaj> vros, very difficult
[16:23] <vros> ...&?
[16:23] <vros> ... sudo apt-get remove kubuntu???)
[16:24] <BluesKaj> akonadi is default in kde
[16:25] <rberg_> vros: have you build debian packages before?
[16:25] <vros> from sources - yes/ from deb*s - yes/
[16:27] <BluesKaj> akonadi is not a large footprint despite what users think, diabling is as good as not having it installed
[16:27] <BluesKaj> disabling
[16:27] <lordievader> vros: That will likely break a lot of things.
[16:27] <alket> why would one want to remove akonadi ?
[16:27] <lordievader> Besided custom compiling is not supported on Ubuntu.
[16:27] <lordievader> Besides*
[16:28] <EvilRoey> Besides,*
[16:28]  * EvilRoey runs
[16:28]  * EvilRoey screams "HI ALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!" from a slap-safe distance
[16:29] <vros> BluesKaj, *NEED_REMOVE_AKONADY*
[16:29] <BluesKaj> akonadi is unecessary for a lot of users, me included, but ridding your OS of it will make an unmeasurablr  difference to it's performance
[16:29] <BluesKaj> err unmeasureable
[16:30] <vros> ... for my black toools)
[16:30] <alket> yeah I never use it too , but doesn't bother me just staying there
[16:30] <BluesKaj> vros, no don't NEED to remove it
[16:31] <BluesKaj> vros, I admit I used to feel the same about akondi, but now I've learned to turn it off and forget about it.
[16:31] <vros> BluesKaj, +1 to you) but need. Akonady put some crash for my backtrack tools.
[16:32] <BluesKaj> we don't support backtrack here
[16:32] <vros> disabling don't fix it.
[16:34] <lordievader> vros: Backtrack was a distro... now known as Kali Linux. That it once was based on Ubuntu doesn't mean we support it.
[16:34] <BluesKaj> well face it vros, you either change your OS or desktop, you have to decide what course you want to to follow
[16:34] <vros> I don't say any quastion's about other os/ I JUST NEED TO REMOVE THIS (stupid) AKONADY/
[16:35] <BluesKaj> vros, you can't without losing the desktop ,and that's all i have to say about it ...
[16:37] <rberg_> yeah it looks like removing the akonadi packages will take alot with it :(
[16:37] <BluesKaj> or you can run with this instead http://awesome.naquadah.org/, or a different desktop altogether
[16:38] <vros> I know that about Kali's, Backtrack's. The still on audit way. But I use some set of tools  from there. And loved plasma desktop/but need tools/but love plasma/...
[16:39] <vros> BluesKaj, I know that i must crush plasma and get clear X. The how to build plasma without akonadi?
[16:39] <vros> Then*
[16:43] <vros> other desktop graphical platform's don't needed
[16:43] <BluesKaj> vros, install plasma5
[16:44] <BluesKaj> no akonadi included so far
[16:45] <BluesKaj> oops spoke too soon, akonadi is now included, unfortunately
[17:10] <vros> googled infos about new plasma.. nice but run akonady now.
[17:11] <stuq> no composting in plasma5 yet?
[17:12] <vros> runing 12.04 and 4.8.5kde
[17:13] <vros> as a thing of that way, maybe find nightly dev repos for that time when akonady still dont added to project
[17:15] <vros> it seems to help of dev's plasma 5 project
[17:19] <Riddell> stuq: it has compositing
[17:19] <stuq> yes *compositing* ;-)... hmm. ok, not working for me yet, I'll explore...
[17:29] <lordievader> stuq: Not even XRender?
[17:29] <stuq> lordievader: yeah, just boot plasma5 this am... xrender is now working...
[17:31] <lordievader> stuq: Then likely your OpenGL driver is broken.
[17:31] <stuq> :-(
[17:31] <stuq> Card: Intel 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[17:31] <lordievader> stuq: What card + driver?
[17:31] <lordievader> Hmm, what is the output of 'lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA'?
[17:33] <stuq> Display Server: X.Org 1.16.0 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
[17:34] <stuq> lordievader: no output on the grep of A2
[17:34] <stuq> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[17:36] <lordievader> stuq: No output at all?
[17:36] <stuq> well it's treating '-A2' as an urecognized grep switch
[17:37] <stuq> but no A2 or VGA except what I listed
[17:37] <BluesKaj> stuq,  lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' , include the quotes
[17:37] <lordievader> stuq: That's odd.. it is a valid grep switch.
[17:38] <BluesKaj> lordievader, yeah your command works here
[17:38] <stuq> no, my mistake, missed the VGA as an arg.
[17:38] <stuq> but now it just returns a '>' prompt
[17:38] <BluesKaj> ok
[17:39] <BluesKaj> no quotes for lordievader's command
[17:39] <stuq> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

[17:39] <stuq> Ok, sorry - not awake yet......
[17:39] <lordievader> Hmm, that should be fine.
[17:40] <stuq> on boot, the compositer settings windows, says it's turned off because of a possible driver bug...
[17:41] <stuq> BluesKaj: thanks for the catch... I have to turn the heat up in my house, my hands are too cold to type ;-)
[17:42] <stuq> first snow of the year here last night
[17:42] <BluesKaj> stuq, we have some here too
[18:01] <EvilRoey> stuq:  aren't you an internet worm for Persian nuclear devices?
[18:01] <EvilRoey> *Iranian
[18:01] <stuq> heh, caught ;-)  I'm also the first worm to pass the Turing Test....
[18:01] <rom1504> he is, but you made him evil

[18:06] <EvilRoey> oh! that's right.  I'll keep a lookout for you
[19:23] <che757> so i have another really noob question. i'm trying to download a .nzb file from usenet, and i'm using sabnzbd which apparently runs inside of firefox. anyways when I try and download the nzb it tries to open in firefox, and I click browse but I have no idea where the executable for sannzbd is on my computer (also the search function doesn't seem to work). Any ideas?
[19:23] <che757> kubuntu 14.04
[19:28] <MoonUnit`> sabnzbd runs it's own web server, try http://localhost:8080
[19:41] <bprompt> hmm
[19:43] <bprompt> che757:     you could try running a find ->   find / -name *nzb
[20:26] <kavaco> how to set the amd radeon as default, on hybrid system?
[20:27] <kavaco> the opensource driver
[20:27] <kavaco> using the opensorce driver
[20:27] <kavaco> the intel video card is the default card now
[20:29] <kavaco> lordievader: i reinstall the kubuntu.
[20:30] <kavaco> lordievader, lordievader_: I would use the opensorce driver. Can you help me?
[20:32] <soee__> kavaco: the propriety drivers probably have some controll panel to switch
[20:32] <soee__> im not usre im on intel/nvidia
[20:33] <soee__> and we have it in nvidia-settings
[20:33] <lordievader> kavaco: You don't have to do anything for that, radeon is installed by default.
[20:35] <kavaco> how to check this?
[20:35] <kavaco> before reinstalling the kubuntu did not run some games that require the Radeon
[20:36] <kavaco> but, how to verify?
[20:37] <soee> verify what ?
[20:42] <kavaco> default video card
[20:43] <kavaco> i have two: intel hd and amd radeon
[20:43] <kavaco> see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9012491/
[20:43] <kavaco> hybrid amd/intel
[20:43] <kavaco> on dell inspiron 5447(brazillian version)
[20:44] <kavaco> lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9012491/
[20:45] <kavaco> lordievader: it's installed, but is not the default video card
[20:45] <kavaco> soee: it's installed, but is not the default video card
[20:45] <kavaco> intel is default
[20:46] <kavaco> on BIOS there is not a option to select the amd as dafault
[20:47] <kavaco> soee: understand?(my english is bad :/ )
[20:49] <lordievader> kavaco: I have never had a system with a hybrid in my hands, so I have no idea.
[20:50] <kavaco> lordievader: ok, thank you!!

[22:48] <valorie> if you want to test plasma 5 now, you'll need to upgrade to 14.10 and install the next ppa, or try out the plasma 5 iso
[22:48] <soee> valorie: if you know more can you answer this user: https://plus.google.com/107885265498625428468/posts/PJpRazMb8tF ?
[22:48] <valorie> (best option actually)
[22:50] <valorie> done, thanks soee
[22:52] <Daniell_> valorie: Thank you for your response :)
[22:53] <valorie> Daniell_: thanks for testing!
[22:53] <valorie> keep the bug reports rolling in
[22:53] <valorie> please
[22:54] <valorie> also, that neon ppa should be killed too
[22:54]  * valorie reports
[23:10] <rww> valorie: does the next PPA put stuff in /opt like Neon did, or does it upgrade normal system KDE?
[23:11] <valorie> nothing in /opt anymore
[23:11] <valorie> it upgrades plasma and you'll no longer have plasma stable
[23:11] <valorie> so it is a chance
[23:12] <rww> boo. that was one of the plus points of Kubuntu for me
[23:12]  * valorie got bored with the bedrock stability of 14.04 and shot for the moon
[23:12] <soee> user like Plasma 5 :) [22:52] <shallwe> man this plasma 5 is greate! very fast and smoooth
[23:12] <soee> *users
[23:12] <valorie> really, 14.10+plasma 5 is great
[23:12] <soee> true, i can confirm
[23:12] <valorie> not feature complete yet though
[23:13] <valorie> so lots of opportunity to file bugs!
[23:13] <valorie> :-)
