[00:01] <joan> I tried to fill a bug at launchpad.net but it doesn't work (or I don't know how to do it). kubuntu-restricted-extras recommends «libavcodec-extra-53» but it should recommend «libavcodec-extra»
[00:24] <tsimpson> joan: you can use "ubuntu-bug kubuntu-restricted-extras" to report a bug in *buntu

[18:14] <EvilRoey> hello there!  Any Python coders here?
[18:14] <EvilRoey> Do you guys have experience writing parsers?   I'd like to get help with this tab-completer function that follows a grammar:  https://github.com/depasonico/bywaf-owasp/issues/20

[18:26] <human_> Hi, anyone from Latvia ?

[18:29] <BluesKaj> dunno if that's latvia or not,
[18:29] <human_> anyway, Im installing snort on VPS, and got till step where i should use precompiled libraries for certain architecture. But  uname -a shows : i686 i686 i386 . Which architecture it is it then ? Thanks for help.
[18:30] <BluesKaj> human_, 32bit
[18:31] <human_> BluesKaj: thanks, man !
[18:31] <lordievader> Ah intrusion detection, I knew I heard that name before.
[18:32] <human_> Snort < Suricata ?
[18:33] <lordievader> human_: Are you talking about this snort?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snort_(software)
[18:33] <human_> lordievader: yes
[18:34] <lordievader> Never tried it, just know it by name.
[18:48] <somekool> hello
[18:48] <somekool> using 14.04, pretty nice work guys ! always getting better
[18:48] <sophie__> Hiya, is there a way to make the taskbar act like  Windows 7, in the sense of having applications launch from pinned icons, and the windows minimize into these?
=== alleehol is now known as allee
[18:51] <BluesKaj> sophie__, yes install the quicklaunch widget in the panel, then drag the apps you want into the launcher from the kicker/kmenu
[18:53] <somekool> a small bit of integration I am missing in kubuntu is SSH agent management... is it a plan feature for kubuntu to manage that for me ?
[18:57] <sophie__> BluesKaj: Thanks!
[19:00] <BluesKaj> somekool, install openssh-server in the target pc
[19:01] <human_> anybody running Kubuntu on AsusX55 or similar models ? If yes what gpu driver you are using ?
[19:05] <BluesKaj> human_, run lspci | grep VGA to find your gpu model
[19:06] <somekool> BluesKaj: I'm pretty sure I have that package already.. I'm talking about have the agent started on session start and also have something that works no matter if I login on the console, via ssh, or loading a X session. That's a bit of integration that I'd like my distribution to maintain for me... setting this up can change slightly over the years
[19:07] <sophie__> So I used the widget that was recommended to get icon launchers, but more specifcally Im trying to get the icon to also act as the task monitor as well, so that I can click on an icon of an already open application to switch to it etc.
[19:08] <BluesKaj> sophie__, install a taskmanager into the panel
=== anonymous is now known as Guest89118
[19:11] <sophie__> BluesKaj: Would this be another widget?
[19:11] <lordievader> somekool: Do you mean the ssh-askpass-gnome utility?
[19:12] <BluesKaj> sophie__, yes
[19:12] <sophie__> BluesKaj: Was there a specific one that you had in mind?

[19:12] <BluesKaj> !taskmanager | sophie__
[19:13] <somekool> yes lordievader, is the gnome version compatible? no KDE alternative?

[19:13] <sophie__> BluesKaj: Thanks :)
[19:13] <lordievader> somekool: I have it installed on another machine, virt-manager wanted it, and it works quite fine.
[19:14] <BluesKaj> sophie__, did the info bot pm you?
[19:18] <sophie__> BluesKaj: I don believe so
[19:22] <BluesKaj> sophie__, justype task into the add-widget searchbar and you'll have a choice of icon only or the regular task manager for the panel
[19:23] <sophie__> BluesKaj: Yeah, I have it running now, :)
[19:23] <BluesKaj> sophie__, good :)
[19:30] <yossarianuk> any mirrors with 14.04 final yet ?

[19:51] <loverdrive> Hi. I need to copy some GBs of file from a computer to another, in the same lan. Which is the easiest and quickest method?  I tried samba but i fails to login. I see that i need to configure it.
[19:51] <loverdrive> i have little time, so i need a system as quick as possible :)
[19:55] <BluesKaj> loverdrive, ssh and use scp to copy to the file path on the target machine
[19:55] <lordievader> loverdrive: rsync over ssh/nfs?
[19:56] <dutchuss2016> i need something tht will fix id3 tags in songs for me
[19:56] <BluesKaj> or rsync as lordievader suggests, loverdrive
[19:56] <dutchuss2016> i hav over 500 songs with messed up id3  tags
[19:57] <genii> loverdrive: The ssh/rsync/etc method assumes both your machines are linux, of course.
[19:59] <loverdrive> yes, i have kubuntu in both machine
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest93604
[20:04] <BluesKaj> dutchuss2016, try id3tool in the repos
[20:08] <DarthFrog> I like Easytag for that sort of stuff.
[20:09] <BluesKaj> ok that's it for a while...gotta give my eyes a rest
=== xxxx is now known as Guest60358
[20:16] <Daskreech> Night blobfish_
[20:16] <Daskreech> dutchuss2016: there are a number of idtaggers
[20:17] <Daskreech> I don't know if it's close enough to bring up but I can't run 14.04 with a 14.04 kernel
[20:17] <Daskreech> It boots past grub but not much further
[20:21] <nicon`> Hi :-) Any chances that trusty will be released like saucy was (47 minutes before the release date)? ;-)
[20:21] <nicon`> In fact I'm interested if there's a chance it will show up in next 8hrs, or not :-)
[20:30] <DarthFrog> nicon`: If you were to do a "sudo do-release-upgrade -d", you would get what's currently scheduled for release.  If then you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" after trusty is released, you would be right up to date.
[20:31] <nicon`> I would be more interested in fresh iso image.
[20:33] <nicon`> I see that it's finding now some upgrade, though still - I want to do clear install instead of updating.
[20:34] <DarthFrog> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[20:35] <nicon`> Nice one, thanks, so on 99% daily builds here will be official released, right?
[20:36] <DarthFrog> Probably.
[20:36] <nicon`> Perfect, thanks.
[20:39] <dutchuss2016> ok so how do i et easy tag to automatically retagg my music i dont wnna do it manually
[20:39] <bprompt> retag?
[20:40] <dutchuss2016> fix  there song name artist album etc
[20:41] <dutchuss2016> i have over 2000 ssongs with messed up  tags
[20:42] <bprompt> dutchuss2016:   ok... so how's easyTag going to find out the album, artist and track names?
[20:44] <dutchuss2016> using the online ccdb
[20:44] <dutchuss2016> cddb*
[20:44] <dutchuss2016> great there disc ids are messed up thats why it wont fix them with the cd database
[21:03] <dutchuss2016> is thre a way to find out whats wrong with a song file i think i have corruted mp3 filess
[21:04] <dutchuss2016> some of my songs wont play at all and there not giving me any errors
[21:12] <Daskreech> What does the file command say they are?
[22:00] <wxl> this may be irrelevant given that trusty is just about to come out but i'm having this weird problem on my install with saucy. klipper grabs selections from terminal apps but when i paste, nothing happens. any clues?
[22:03] <wxl> the uncanny thing is that primary & clipboard are both being updated by the app
[22:04] <wxl> so it shouldn't be a problem with x
[22:04] <wxl> and indeed klipper didn't used to do this before
[22:05] <wxl> i DON'T like selection being syncronized so i have all that business off
[22:07] <jesper__> hello, I got a 14.04 ubuntu install and I am trying to install kde via the kde-standard or the kubuntu-desktop packages but seems there are dependency issues
[22:07] <jesper__> anyone aware of a solution?
[22:07] <wxl> jesper__: what dependency issues?
[22:08] <jesper__>  kubuntu-desktop : Depends: kde-window-manager but it is not going to be installed
[22:08] <jesper__>                    Depends: kde-workspace but it is not going to be installed
[22:09] <jesper__> hmm
[22:09] <wxl> jesper__: have ytou tried apt-get -f install?
[22:09] <jesper__> maybe it is because I have xorg-edgers ppa
[22:10] <jesper__> i manually added packages to the install list and got down to
[22:10] <jesper__> libwayland-egl1-mesa : Depends: libegl1-mesa (= 10.1.0-4ubuntu5) but 10.2.0~git20140331.ec4b8d16-0ubuntu0ricotz is to be installed
[22:10] <wxl> looks like that could be part of your issue
[22:11] <wxl> otherwise sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get -f install kubuntu-desktop
[22:12] <jesper__> -f does not let me override :/
[22:12] <jesper__> seems like it is a misstake to have   libegl1-mesa (= 10.1.0-4ubuntu5)
[22:13] <jesper__> shouldn't it be  libegl1-mesa (>= 10.1.0-4ubuntu5)
[22:13] <wxl> well if you have to have that ppa you're going to have to pin the version
[22:13] <wxl> !pin
[22:13] <ubottu> pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
=== omnitrix is now known as oday
[22:34] <jesper__> wxl, I was able to fix the issue by repackaging the libegl1-mesa with >= instead of =

[23:24] <Roey> Hello all!
[23:25] <Roey> hey I've got a question, I'm on Kubuntu 14.04 and I want to upgrade to the 3.14 kernel.  How can I do this in a Kubuntu-friendly way?
[23:28] <valorie> Roey: why not wait until it's rolled out?
[23:28] <Roey> do kernel upgrades happen inside releases, or only just upon new releases?
[23:28] <Roey> valorie:  :)
[23:28] <Roey> valorie:  there is this bug in btrfs send/receive which supposedly has been fixed already.
[23:28] <Roey> Well it's affecting my ability to perform backups
[23:28] <valorie> I see
[23:29] <Roey> Hence my reason for wishing to upgrade my kernel.
[23:29] <valorie> kernel upgrades roll out when they are ready
[23:29] <Roey> okay
[23:29] <Roey> btw, hi :
[23:29] <Roey> :)
[23:29] <valorie> hi
[23:29]  * Roey hugs valorie 
[23:29] <Roey> good to see ya here
[23:29] <valorie> I've gotten at least 3 kernel versions since installing beta1
[23:29] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}
[23:29] <valorie> I'm always here!
[23:30] <valorie> just not always at keyboard
[23:31] <Roey> :)
[23:31] <Roey> hmm.  Three kernel revisions, okay.  Are these minor revisions or major ones?
[23:31] <valorie> they were minor
[23:31] <Roey> i.e. 3.14.1, .2, etc. or 3.13, 3.14, ...
[23:32] <Roey> ahhh okay
[23:32] <Roey> well then I hope this bugfix gets backported
[23:32] <valorie> I actually had to use an older version for a day or two
[23:32] <Roey> aye
[23:32] <valorie> can't recall why
[23:32] <valorie> but it was fixed quickly
[23:32] <valorie> file a bug
[23:32] <valorie> `ubuntu-bug btrfs`
[23:33] <valorie> painless
[23:33] <alket> im just curios, why do you use btrfs ?
[23:34] <Riddell> ** final candidate images to test, join us in #kubuntu-devel if you can help
[23:35] <Roey> hey Riddell
[23:35] <Roey> alket:  send/receive in btrfs makes it easy for me to back up
[23:49] <alket> i have maybe a silly question, could Canonical retake kubuntu at any time , since it has the trademark ?
[23:50] <AlanBell> Canonical could participate more fully again
[23:50] <AlanBell> I am unsure that "retake" is an appropriate verb
[23:52] <valorie> alket: kubuntu is community produced
[23:52] <Riddell> alket: it's an open project we'd welcome anyone participating.  canonical of course already help lots with servers and foundation maintinance
[23:52] <valorie> administered by the Kubuntu Council
[23:54] <alket> thanks for the infos
[23:54] <AlanBell> so, unopaste is a paste prevention bot that has been replacing the floodbots in #ubuntu for a month or so now, ikonia asked me to send it in here, it mutes with a +q anyone who accidentally pastes lots of lines very fast
[23:55] <AlanBell> to allow it to work it needs +O in the channel access list, so it is opped up and ready to quiet things
[23:55] <ikonia> AlanBell: thank you
[23:56] <Riddell> hello unopaste
[23:56] <Riddell> AlanBell: doesn't freenode already have flood prevention?
[23:56] <AlanBell> not as such, no
[23:57] <AlanBell> it has some anti-spam responses in some channels, which can k-line people and ban them from the servers as a whole
[23:58] <AlanBell> this just gives a 30 second quiet to someone pasting in an xorg.0.log or whatever the popular config file of the day is
[23:59] <AlanBell> feel free to try it out :)
