[02:07] <valorie> this seems like a kmail/kontact issue, not a Kubuntu one

[02:52] <Cormagh> Hi, Is there any reason I shouldn't use Kubuntu for development on my laptop?
[02:53] <amingv> Cormagh: Not that I'm aware of.
[02:54] <Cormagh> thanks
[02:55] <amingv> You're welcome
[02:58] <Cormagh> amingv: I'll b back
[02:59] <amingv> Cormagh: ok
[03:49] <modern> I have a problem, I can not find  way to set a static ip address in kubuntu 14.04
=== Bigcheese_ is now known as Bigcheese
[03:55] <valorie> modern: I found this, but it's old: pdg86.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/howto-setup-dhcpstatic-ip-in-kubuntu/
[03:57] <modern> valorie,: thanks
[03:58] <valorie> best of luck; notice the date
[03:58] <modern> seems odd that there is no longer a gui to do this.
[03:59] <valorie> there may be a way, but I don't know it
[04:01] <DarthFrog> modern: Not really.  A consumer desktop is normally fine with DHCP.  I have a dynamically assigned static IP; I configured the DHCP server on my router to give my MAC address a static IP.  I used to do it via the /etc/network/interfaces file but that doesn't survive a fresh install.
[04:01] <DarthFrog> My desktop machine is always 192.168.1.100, assigned by DHCP.
[04:01] <modern> I use the desktop distro and add some services so i need static ip
[04:02] <DarthFrog> If I change my motherboard, so the system network interface has a different MAC address, I'll just need to update the DHCP configuration on the router.
[04:03] <modern> I have several machines dhcp off my router
[04:03] <DarthFrog> modern:  That's no problem whatsoever.
[04:04] <DarthFrog> And if you never do a re-install, setting your network settings for a static IP address via /etc/network/interfaces works just fine.
[04:04] <modern> thats what I just did but I don't see anywhere to set nmeserver
[04:05] <DarthFrog> The nameserver is set in /etc/resolv.conf.  The syntax is "nameserver <IP Address>".
[04:05] <modern> thanks again everyone
[04:06] <modern> I saw that but it says that it will be overwritten next boot
[04:06] <DarthFrog> Right.
[04:06] <DarthFrog> As I implied, you're trying to swim against the current.  :-)  Go with the flow, do it via your router's DHCP server.
[04:08] <DarthFrog> NetworkManager is rather bossy. :-)  You will have it its way!
[04:09] <valorie> thanks, DarthFrog
[04:10] <DarthFrog> valorie: You're welcome, lass. :-)
[04:10] <maninder> Hello
[04:10] <DarthFrog> Hide the cheese, maninder's here!
[04:11] <maninder> i need help in kubuntu
[04:11] <DarthFrog> You might have come to the right place.
[04:11] <maninder> unable to add printer shared on windows pc
[04:11] <DarthFrog> Answers are $1.  Correct answers are $10.  Dumb looks are still free.
[04:12] <DarthFrog> And you get a dumb look on that one from me.  I've never had to do that. :-)
[04:13] <maninder> oh no
[04:14] <maninder> any idea
[04:15] <valorie> it is in cups, last I did it
[04:15] <valorie> !info cups
[04:15] <ubottu> cups (source: cups): Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - PPD/driver support, web interface. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.2-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 174 kB, installed size 806 kB
[04:16] <valorie> so, optional -- you might have to install it, maninder
[04:16] <DarthFrog> CUPS should be installed by default.
[04:17] <DarthFrog> But don't use CUPS directly.  Access it via System Settings/Printers.
[04:18] <maninder> how to intall it. actually i am new to linux
[04:19] <DarthFrog> If you've installed Kubuntu, it's already installed.
[04:19] <maninder> ok
[04:19] <DarthFrog> Explore the menu system.
[04:21] <maninder> and what to find
[04:21] <maninder> ?
[04:21] <maninder> i already opened the Add a New Printer Wizard
[04:22] <valorie> maninder: as I recall, you have to share the printer from windows first
[04:22] <DarthFrog> Then you're where you want to be.  What comes next, I've not explored for adding a shared Windows printer.
[04:22] <valorie> then find & select it from kubuntu
[04:22] <maninder> its already on the network
[04:22] <valorie> cool
[04:23] <maninder> here is the option i have is Windows Printer via SAMBA but it is not allwing to Browse
[04:23] <maninder> Browse button is not active
[04:30] <maninder> valorie: what next ?
[04:31] <valorie> maninder: can you post a screenshot?

[08:03] <mokush> any idea if the google-chrome-unstable package from the official google ppa is 64 bit? or how i could check?
[08:25] <hateball> mokush: use file on the binary
[08:26] <mokush> hateball: you mean like `file /opt/google/chrome-unstable/google-chrome-unstable `?
[08:27] <hateball> mokush: yeah, or wherever it installs to
[08:27] <hateball> in my case for chromium: file /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
[08:27] <mokush> hateball: thanks! seems to be 64
[08:27] <hateball> which returns /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: ELF 64-bit LSB  shared object, x86-64
[08:27] <hateball> mokush: very well :)
[08:28] <mokush> I'm getting very high ram usage for chrome on a 64bit kubuntu install, while on a 32bit install on a computer roughly the same ram usage is almost half
[08:29] <hateball> well, like most browsers, chrome is a hog
[08:29] <hateball> might be it tries allocating more on 64-bit to improve performance, who knows
[08:30] <mokush> i'll end up buying ram just for the browser
[08:31] <mokush> which is pretty sad, considering I can run id's rage game on 1280, but can't have 20 tabs open
[08:31] <salsero|2> i have about 100 tabs
[08:31] <salsero|2> under firefox
[08:31] <hateball> browsers are the new OS's
[08:32] <salsero|2> $ free | head -n2

[08:32] <mokush> salsero|2: firefox is even slower for me than chrome. i've got an i5 with 4gigs of ram
[08:37] <hateball> To be fair, with an i5... it's nice to have 8GB ram as well :p
[08:37] <hateball> altho you shouldnt really run into memory issues with kubuntu and a browser with 4GB ;f
[08:38] <donix> could anyone help with ulimit issue?

[09:10] <ReaveR_> ummm hi, is anyone here?
[09:13] <ReaveR_> hello
[09:13] <ReaveR_> can anyone help me out? i've installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu 14.04
[09:13] <ReaveR_> but it didn't change anything
[09:14] <ReaveR_> it's still loading the same graphics : i think it's stuck on GNOME
[09:14] <ReaveR_> is there any way to "activate" kubuntu or something? at login and logoff it shows the Kubuntu screens
[09:16] <ReaveR_> well i'll leave these questions here if anyone can help me out

[09:43] <mokush> any idea how i could change the background color for the `executable folders` (ntfs mounted with exec) in konsole?
[09:46] <salsero|2> nop
[09:49] <mokush> managed to edit it from the color scheme editor
[09:58] <salsero|2> you can do that, but I am not sure if that applies only to executable folders
[10:04] <Name141> I installed the xubuntu-desktop, but it's not letting me pick XFCE from the login screen that I can see
[10:05] <Name141> Also talking about launguage support
[10:05] <lolmaus> After upgrading to 14.04, an appliaction won't start anymore due to lack of libpng15. I failed to find any PPAs for it. I also tried compiling it and running the app with `LD_PRELOAD=./libpng15.so ./app` but it seems not to fetch the lib.
[10:18] <soee> lolmaus: single application ?
[10:19] <lolmaus> soee: yes. But i believe the problem spreads to every application that depends on libpng15. It's just i'm using only one of those.
[10:19] <lolmaus> The app is not from repos, it's a precompiled binary downloaded in a tarball.

[10:52] <yofel> lolmaus: try `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./app` as that'll tell it to look for the lib in the current directory
[10:54] <lolmaus> yofel: it still says "Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.50" :(
[10:55] <yofel> lolmaus: which libpng is it actually linked against? 'ldd app' will tell you that
[10:59] <lolmaus> yofel: linked against 1.5.5, i've compiled 1.5.18. Is the minor version mismatch bad?
[11:01] <yofel> as long as the so filename that ldd hasn't changed, no
[11:01] <yofel> *ldd shows
[11:03] <yofel> have to run, sorry
[11:03] <lolmaus> yofel: there's no libpng in `ldd appname`. I know libpng version number from the error message
[11:04] <lolmaus> yofel: oh, sorry! There IS libpng, but it's libpng12!

[13:14] <Guest23882> I've just installed kubuntu 14.04,  now i always get grub error: unknown filesystem
[13:32] <silv3r_m00n>  i am on kubuntu, i did kdesudo systemsettings and went to fonts and changed the size, but apps running as root are having a different font size
[13:33] <BluesKaj> silv3r_m00n, try logging out and back in
[13:34] <silv3r_m00n> BluesKaj: yeah did, its like this ever since
[13:35] <BluesKaj> no need to run as root, once you've changed the fonts with root permissions, silv3r_m00n
[13:36] <silv3r_m00n> BluesKaj: the apps i mean, kdesudo kate, kdesudo dolphin ..... their font settings are not what i apply at kdesudo systemsettings
[13:37] <BluesKaj> don't run kdesudo dolphin, just as user
[13:39] <silv3r_m00n> i run kate from terminal and get so many errors, http://pastie.org/9112158  what are these for ?
[13:39] <silv3r_m00n> i guess there is something to configure properly
[13:40] <rberg_> anybody having laptop suspend problems since that kernel update a few days ago? I get a "khubd task unable to freeze"
[13:41] <BluesKaj> silv3r_m00n, why do you run apps from the terminal with root permissions anyway?
[13:41] <salsero|2> rberg_: no
[13:41] <silv3r_m00n> BluesKaj: i use alt+f2 and then kdesudo dolphin, then move into the directory open a file (kate) edit and save it
[13:41] <salsero|2> only with hibernate that was disabled
[13:43] <BluesKaj> no need to run kate with root permissions for editing, user permissions are enough to save edits in kate, silv3r_m00n
[13:44] <silv3r_m00n> BluesKaj: i cant edit files like /etc/apache/....
[13:44] <silv3r_m00n> it must be root

[15:48] <NDN> Could you tell me whatis wrong with kubuntu 64 when it loads from suspend mode. In my case it is just not responding.
[15:51] <moparisthebest> where is the trusty kubuntu alternate cd?
[15:52] <moparisthebest> during install, I go to manual partitioning
[15:52] <moparisthebest> set up a /boot
[15:52] <moparisthebest> then setup the rest for encrypted partition
[15:52] <moparisthebest> but it crashes with a screen tittled
[15:52] <moparisthebest> "Keyfile creation failure"
[15:53] <moparisthebest> An error occured while creating the keyfile
[15:53] <moparisthebest> if I let it go the guided crypto on LVM way it installs successfully

[15:53] <moparisthebest> I've installed 12.04 this way with the alternate CD in the past

[16:09] <jspeter> So... I can't unlock my screen in Kubuntu 14.04.  It always says "Unlock failed".  I've tracked this down to a missing /etc/pam.d/kdm, I think
[16:09] <jspeter> Not sure what to use for /etc/pam.d/kdm
[16:10] <moparisthebest> i'm assuming you might want to remove that file?
[16:10] <moparisthebest> 14.04 uses lightdm now instead of kdm
[16:10] <moparisthebest> see if there is an /etc/pam.d/lightdm ?
[16:10] <jspeter> kcheckpass is looking for that file
[16:10] <jspeter> it doesn't exist
[16:11] <jspeter> there is a lightdm
[16:11] <moparisthebest> so it probably shouldn't be looking for it?
[16:11] <jspeter> I symlinked to it, but that failed for a different reason
[16:12] <jspeter> when I symlinked to lightdm, it failed due to: pam_succeed_if(kdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "jspeter"
[16:14] <jspeter> I suspect that has something to do with the content of /etc/pam.d/lightdm, so the /etc/pam.d/kdm file needs to be different
[16:14] <moparisthebest> hmm no idea, I've only upgraded one machine to 14.04 from 12.04 and I haven't locked my screen yet? :/
[16:15] <NDN> The almoust the same problem with mine kubuntu
[16:15] <jspeter> if you do lock your screen, watch out for kcheckpass
[16:15] <moparisthebest> it sounds like kcheckpass or whatever needs updated? maybe file a bug
[16:15] <NDN> After out from standby mode I can't do anything
[16:15] <jspeter> NDN: is your screen locked?
[16:15] <NDN> seems so
[16:16] <jspeter> I mean, is there a password prompt asking you to type it it?
[16:16] <NDN> Yes there are password field
[16:16] <jspeter> this site recommends some content for /etc/pam.d/kdm: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/kde-workspace.html
[16:17] <jspeter> maybe I'll try that
[16:17] <jspeter> can you type in the pwd field?
[16:17] <NDN> But there are no any cursor in it, I can't input anything into it
[16:17] <moparisthebest> anything that depends on kdm isn't going to work anymore though since it doesn't exist
[16:18] <jspeter> I think kcheckpass is just requesting a service from pam using "kdm" as a token
[16:18] <NDN> <moparisthebest>: what this does mean ?
[16:18] <jspeter> I understand there is no kdm anymore, but someone neglected to tell kcheckpass
[16:19] <jspeter> and so long as it is only an identifier, I think I can work around it by making an /etc/pam.d/kdm
[16:19] <NDN> Do you think that issue with quiting suspend mode is related to miss of kdm ?
[16:20] <jspeter> NDN: if you can't type, it may be that your keyboard didn't recover suspend
[16:20] <jspeter> NDN: try ctrl-alt-F1 and then ctrl-alt-F7 ?
[16:20] <NDN> jspeter: what to do in this case?
[16:20] <NDN> jspeter: Nope. This won't help
[16:21] <NDN> jspeter: I tried
[16:21] <jspeter> NDN: no response when you do that?
[16:21] <NDN> jspeter: exactly
[16:21] <NDN> jspeter: after i did that the system hangs at all
[16:22] <jspeter> after ctrl-alt-F1 it hangs?
[16:22] <jspeter> is this a laptop or a desktop?  do you have a spare USB keyboard?
[16:22] <NDN> jspeter: I thought the system should go into console mode. But it didn't
[16:22] <NDN> laptop
[16:22] <jspeter> can you disconnect/reconnect the keyboard?
[16:23] <NDN> it is integrated
[16:23] <jspeter> right... but if you have a USB kbd somehwere, could you plug it in?
[16:23] <NDN> I haven;t
[16:23] <moparisthebest> NDN: I just mean that 14.04 uses lightdm instead of kdm, so kdm doesn't exist anymore
[16:24] <NDN> moparisthebest: thanks.
[16:24] <jspeter> k.  The only other recourse I know of is the low-level sysrq stuff
[16:24] <NDN> jspeter: how could i use that stuff ?
[16:25] <NDN> jspeter: I will try check 32 bit kubuntu.
[16:25] <jspeter> for instance Alt-SysRq-E,  Alt-SysRq-U,  Alt-SysRq-I, and  Alt-SysRq-B, in that order.  It won't let you log in, but it should reboot your system
[16:25] <jspeter> if it doesn't reboot your system, all I can recommend is long-press the power button to force it off.
[16:26] <jspeter> If it does reboot your system, at least your keyboard was being seen at some level of the kernel
[16:26] <NDN> jspeter: I haven't sysrq key within the keyboard. Could it be prt sc button?
[16:26] <jspeter> where to go from there, I do not know
[16:26] <jspeter> yes, same one
[16:26] <NDN> jspeter: I did so )  - just use one button that I could use )
[16:26] <jspeter> (used to be, there was enough space for both words on that button)
[16:26] <NDN> jspeter: ok, thank you
[16:27] <jspeter> did it reboot?
[16:27] <NDN> jspeter: No. It shut down.
[16:27] <jspeter> oh, that too.  So at least your kernel wasn't locked and the apps were shut down cleanly
[16:27] <NDN> jspeter: I think si
[16:28] <NDN> jspeter: *so
[16:28] <jspeter> not sure where you can go from here.
[16:28] <alket> Im trying to use Konqueror web browser since it is very fast, but the KHTML doesn't render some pages like other browser, how to change to webkit ?
[16:28] <jspeter> you could check the logs, but that won't reveal much
[16:28] <NDN> jspeter: If the kernel is locked then system should reboot after shut down key long pressed?
[16:29] <moparisthebest> alket: use firefox or install chromium if you must
[16:29] <NDN> alket: use Chrome
[16:29] <jspeter> if you long-press power button, laptop will shut down regardless of O/S and kernel state
[16:29] <jspeter> it's embedded in the HW behavior
[16:29] <NDN> jspeter: I knew it )
[16:29] <moparisthebest> eh, chrome is non-free, who knows what google puts in there
[16:29] <alket> moparisthebest NDN: but it supports other engines  but I dont know how to install them
[16:29] <moparisthebest> chromium is free though, without google extras
[16:30] <moparisthebest> oh didn't know that alket
[16:30] <silv3r_m00n> is it possible to configure this kdesudo thing, so that it remembers the password for some time ?
[16:36] <natacus> does telepathy notify of new emails?

[16:41] <NDN> Is anybody knows how to install Word 2003 within wine on 64 bit system?
[16:42] <NDN> I've created 32 bit preffix. But Word won't install
[16:44] <jspeter> apparently, "sudo chmod 4755 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass" solves my screen lock problem as per https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?45163-kscreenlocker-authentication-failure
[16:44] <NDN> thanks to all. bye

[16:52] <karlo> hola
[16:52] <karlo> :3
[16:52] <BluesKaj> hi karlo
[16:53] <karlo> alguien habla español?
[16:53] <BluesKaj> !es | karlo
[16:53] <ubottu> karlo: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.
[16:54] <karlo> ok, thanks
[17:02] <rockprincess> hi everyone, anyone familiar with kmail2 and gpg on here?
[17:06] <rockprincess> when I try to send a signed message in kmail2 i get the error "bad passphrase" although the keys that I have stored in kgpg are valid and trusted. it seems like a bug with the gpg.conf or pinentry setup..... any ideas?

[19:35] <r-1> hello. Since I've updated to 14.04 my system is very slow. This means I have to wait a long time for programs to start, and UI gets unresponsive from time to time. what can I do?
[19:44] <chachan> r-1: is there anything you can see in the syslog?
[19:45] <r-1> chachan do you mean /var/log/syslog or dmesg?
[19:47] <chachan> r-1: I would check both...
[19:47] <keithzg> Arghhh I can't figure out why my system keeps locking up since the upgrade to 14.04 (not to mention how it loses sense of time and sporadically speeds things up every second reboot).
[19:50] <dudeofdoom> Hello everyone. I have a thinkpad t61 with intel gma video card that has  afresh install of 14.04. Every time I suspend it, when it comes back, it's unresponive for a while, and won't let me unlock the screen. Eventually it gives up and takes me to the login screen, but I can't log in successfully again until I reboot the laptop. Any ideas?
[19:52] <r-1> any hints what I can search for?
[19:52] <r-1> @chachan
[19:52] <chachan> r-1: nope :/
[20:02] <r-1> I've found some error messages, but they are not repeating, but the lag is repeating
[20:03] <r-1> chachan
[20:03] <chachan> is that happening with any particular application or is it the entire system lagging?
[20:04] <r-1> the whole system.
[20:04] <chachan> r-1: ^
[20:04] <chachan> r-1: mm
[20:09] <chachan> r-1: have you tried to reboot, login and not opening any app? and see if the performance is still low
[20:09] <r-1> chachan ok wait will try that
[20:10] <chachan> r-1: also, do you see any overload from any process in the system activity thing?
[20:10] <chachan> press Ctrl + F1 to open it and sort the list by CPU%
[20:11] <chachan> also check your free ram and check if the swap space is being used
[20:18] <r-1> chachan RAM at 9% no swap CPU also very low.
[20:18] <chachan> r-1: and still having performance issue?
[20:18] <r-1> yes
[20:19] <chachan> r-1: that's shitty. I would suggest to check if there's a bug created for this (in case, follow it), if not then try creating it. Sorry for not giving you a better response
[20:20] <r-1> chachan hmm thats bad. where to create?
[20:22] <chachan> r-1: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BugSquad
[20:23] <r-1> chachan thanks
[20:23] <chachan> r-1: forget that
[20:23] <chachan> r-1: use this https://bugs.launchpad.net
[20:23] <christiant> hhiii
[20:23] <chachan> just make sure set kubuntu as project
[20:24] <r-1> is there a chance that they respond?
[20:29] <r-1> chachan: ^
[20:31] <chachan> r-1: of course, that's the way they know something out there is wrong :) Just be patience :(
[20:31] <chachan> r-1: that won't be fast
[20:31] <r-1> chachan is there a tool to track hdd active processes? The hdd led is always on...
[20:32] <r-1> ... like htop ...
[20:32] <chachan> r-1: iotop
[20:32] <chachan> :)
[20:34] <r-1> :)
[20:36] <chachan> r-1: http://www.tecmint.com/linux-performance-monitoring-with-vmstat-and-iostat-commands/
[20:37] <r-1> chachan thx bookmark added
[20:37] <chachan> (y)
[20:37] <rberg_> r-1: you can set htop to display io also
[20:37] <r-1> jow?
[20:37] <r-1> was: how?
[20:39] <r-1> ah ok RBYTES WBYTES
[20:39] <rberg_> r-1: F2 for setup, hit arrow down to 'Columns' , then arrow right twice to "Available Columns" then select "IO_RATE"
[20:43] <r-1> there is baloo_file_extractor
[20:43] <r-1> it seems to be an indexing tool
[20:43] <rberg_> hah! of course it is
[20:44] <r-1> rberg_ do you know that this tool was introduced or enabled in 14.04?
[20:44] <rberg_> I think it was introduced in the lastest kde as somthign to do with nepomuk
[20:45] <rberg_> its all very nice when it works
[20:46] <r-1> hm it might be that it now has to create an index
[20:47] <r-1> .5 TB is not indexed this fast...
[20:47] <r-1> ok its more .3 TB
[20:47] <keithzg> Depends on what comprises that .3 TB ;)
[20:49] <r-1> I don't think baloo lags on media like video but I have a copy of mozilla-central (firefox source code) and thats ... huge
[20:49] <rberg_> that could be it.. lots of tiny text files
[20:52] <r-1> rberg_ chachan I'm not the first with these problems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217434
[20:56] <chachan> r-1: let me know if that works
[20:56] <r-1> I've excluded the directories with lots of files...
[20:58] <r-1> killall to some baloo affiliated processes ...
[20:59] <r-1> ... and starting a disk-heavy java application
[21:00] <r-1> yeah I think it became faster
[21:00] <r-1> at least the HDD led isn't on all time
[21:01] <rberg_> I have only had problems with baloo 1 time.. and that is because I was on battery.. otherwise I leave it alone
[21:04] <r-1> I don't search this often over my whole home directory... I try to have a structured file system
[21:10] <r-1> rberg_ do you use search?
[21:11] <rberg_> not really, but I am starting to see what good about it.. I tend to hit alt-f2 to start new programs and see emails and contacts in there.. its pretty nice
[21:12] <r-1> does this integration work with thunderbird?
[21:14] <rberg_> not sure, I have been using kmail.. thats pretty nice if you dont download all mail for offline use.. otherwise the db gets huge
