[04:44] <TheFakeazneD525> so um
[04:45] <TheFakeazneD525> I configured cups for my brother printer
[04:45] <TheFakeazneD525> but this is a laptop
[04:45] <TheFakeazneD525> so I unplugged it...
[04:45] <TheFakeazneD525> Is there any "unmounting" thing I should have done?
[04:45] <TheFakeazneD525> or can I use my printer plug and play style
[04:46] <TheFakeazneD525> pls halp
[04:48] <valorie> is it wireless?
[04:48] <valorie> if so, it should Just Work
[04:49] <valorie> you probably should have unmounted it, but if the setup was complete, probably no harm done

[06:29] <lordievader> Good morning.
[06:33] <TheFakeazneD525> hi lordievader
[06:34] <lordievader> Hey TheFakeazneD525, how are you?
[06:34] <TheFakeazneD525> I'm good
[06:40] <TheFakeazneD525> lordievader: I've decided to be proactive and upgrade rekonq from nepomuk to baloo until Qt 5.4 hits the repos
[06:49] <valorie> TheFakeazneD525: nepomuk is already mostly gone..... what kubuntu version are you using?
[06:51] <valorie> I just started up rekonq, opened a few tabs -- still no nepomuk in top
[06:52] <lordievader> Nepomuk, baloo. Never really known what they do... Usually I disable them...
[06:52] <Fritigern> Last time i tried Bangarang, which was several months ago, it wouldn;t work with Baloo. Does anyone know if this has changed?
[06:53] <valorie> a search of system activity for nepomuk: no results
[06:53] <valorie> hmmm, banagarang
[06:53] <lordievader> !info bangarang

[06:54] <valorie> that isn't a KDE product; dunno
[06:54] <Fritigern> Bangarang also heavily depends on nepomuk
[06:55] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: 14.04
[06:55] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: rekonq still uses nepomuk
[06:55] <valorie> hmmm
[06:56] <valorie> bangarang progress seems to have stopped a couple of years ago
[06:56] <valorie> sad
[06:56] <Fritigern> Never mind, looks like it was removed. It is notin Utopic
=== RedShorts|off is now known as RedShorts
[06:57] <valorie> hmmm, and yet their release notes say they are in kde git
[06:57] <Fritigern> BTW, Nepomuk used to crash on me all the flipping time. Ballo has yet to crash for me
[06:58] <Fritigern> valorie: They may be in KDE git, but not in the 'buntu repos

[07:00] <ubottu> Package bangarang does not exist in utopic
[07:00] <valorie> which is probably why your software center is reporting that
[07:00] <Fritigern> There you go!
[07:00] <valorie> apt-cache finds it however
[07:01] <valorie> I wouldn't install it, however
[07:01] <Fritigern> Do you know what a cache is?
[07:01] <Unit193> valorie: apt-cache policy bangarang  see what source?
[07:01] <valorie> bangarang:

[07:01] <valorie> I would assume we won't package it for utopic though
[07:02] <Fritigern> BINGOOOOO!!!!!
[07:02] <Fritigern> [23:56:13] [[ Fritigern ]] Never mind, looks like it was removed. It is notin Utopic
[07:02] <valorie> bingo?
[07:02] <valorie> ah
[07:02] <valorie> ok, utopic is in beta
[07:02] <valorie> I have it on a test box, but not here
[07:04] <valorie> and we don't offer support to utopic here; that's in #ubuntu+1 until release day
[07:04] <Fritigern> I never asked for support. My questions was [23:52:33] [[ Fritigern ]] Last time i tried Bangarang, which was several months ago, it wouldn;t work with Baloo. Does anyone know if this has changed?
[07:04] <valorie> sorry, Fritigern
[07:05] <valorie> it was after trusty was released that the change from nepomuk to baloo was completed
[07:05] <valorie> it seems that bangarang has lost its oomph
[07:09] <Fritigern> I was just curious to find if anyone has put in any work on Bangarang to get it to work with baloo. The software looked interesting, but never fully worked for me because Nepomuk kept crapping the bed on me. So with Baloo i had hoped to give it a whirl (originally in Trusty) but no joy because it dependined on Nepo. I never looked to see if it waspart of the Utopic repo
[07:09] <Fritigern> It's no biggie though. My fave mediaplayer is Clementine, and occasionally VLC.

[07:15] <Fritigern> hehehe,. last commit to Bangarang was a year ago. Looks like that's one dead project now.
[07:16] <lordievader> Fritigern: Become the new developer ;)
[07:16] <valorie> maintainers needed!
[07:16] <valorie> and help porting applications to kf5/Qt5
[07:17] <Fritigern> Hehehe, i can look at code, not read iet ;-)))
[07:17] <Fritigern> *it
[07:18] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: hmm, it seems that the hard part will be porting from nepomuk to baloo
[07:19] <valorie> could be, but vish is very helpful (maintainer of baloo)
[07:19] <Fritigern> Just been updating and.... "Sector 32 is already in use by the program `FlexNet'". Dafook???
[07:20] <lordievader> Fritigern: Grub?
[07:20] <Fritigern> Yup
[07:20] <lordievader> I've seen that warning before, wasn't very important IIRC.
[07:21] <Fritigern> Important enough for this Moderator to call it a root kit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214517
[07:22] <Fritigern> What i don;t get is that this harddrive has never had windows or windows softwware on it, not even in Wine
[08:17] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: if Qt 5.4 is being shipped in november, when can i expect it to hit Utopic repos?
[08:18] <valorie> hmmm, that's a good question
[08:18] <valorie> it's possible it will be backported, since that's an LTS
[08:19] <valorie> well, some 5+
[08:19] <lordievader> Utopic isn't an LTS.
[08:19] <valorie> oops, gads
[08:19] <valorie> I keep assuming people are on-topic
[08:19] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: Depends on the packagers I suppose, I know for a fact that the Kubuntu team is allways looking for packagers. That way you might be able to speed it up ;)
[08:20] <valorie> good bet for Utopic indeed
[08:20] <TheFakeazneD525> is there a gui frontend to make a debian package :3?
[08:29] <Andy2> Hi, is there already a livecd iso available with plasma 5 second release?
[08:30] <valorie> yes
[08:30] <Andy2> Could you provide me with a link?
[08:30] <Andy2> Could find it on the webpage
[08:30] <valorie> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/releases/utopic/
[08:30] <valorie> I'm seeding the torrents....
[08:31] <valorie> for beta2
[08:31] <valorie> sec
[08:31] <Andy2> hm
[08:31] <Andy2> i am not sure that the correct on
[08:31] <Andy2> I am talking about this plasma release: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.0.95.php
[08:32] <Andy2> but let my download and check to be sure
[08:33] <Andy2> ah well, the iso doesn't boot up, when i click on "try" it just jumps back to the same window
[08:34] <Andy2> It's a bit to beta i guess, thx anyway ;)
[08:37] <valorie> well, there are the dailies
[08:37] <valorie> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/daily-live/
[08:37] <Andy2> oh nice
[08:37] <Andy2> thanks
[08:43] <Andy2> well, looks like the "try mode" does not work with virtual box
[08:43] <Andy2> at least not for me.
[08:44] <lordievader> Virtual box is broken from what I've heard. Try kvm, kvm is nice.
[08:45] <Andy2> Nah it's ok thx. It's not that important to test a pre release.
[08:50] <valorie> Andy2: it might not be important for you
[08:51] <valorie> but it is important to the development team
[08:51] <valorie> that's the point of pre-releases
[08:51] <valorie> to get testing
[08:51] <hateball> !+1
[08:51]  * valorie is in the process of breaking a laptop right now, lol
[08:51] <hateball> ubottu: cut it out :|
[08:51] <ubottu> hateball: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[08:51] <hateball> !kubuntu+1
[08:51] <hateball> sure.
[08:51] <Andy2> Right. My point was. It is not important enough to me to install KVM just to test the release. I agree that it should work with virtualbox if that is what you meant.
[08:52] <hateball> Perhaps there is no +1, like there is for Ubuntu
[08:52] <valorie> Andy2: got it
[08:52] <valorie> virtualbox doesn't seem to be working for people lately
[08:52] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: I'll test it later
[08:52] <valorie> qemu and ...? the other one might work
[08:53] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: vmware?
[08:53] <Andy2> well, i test a lot of livecds and this is teh first time i can remember it does not work
[08:53] <valorie> !vm
[08:53] <ubottu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[08:53] <valorie> yes, vmware
[08:53] <TheFakeazneD525> wheemvar
[08:53] <TheFakeazneD525> valorie: how much memory should I give it?
[08:53] <valorie> Andy2: did you md5sum it?
[08:53] <Andy2> not let me do that
[08:53] <valorie> my liveUSBs didn't work until I verified the iso
[08:54] <valorie> !md5sum
[08:54] <ubottu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[08:54] <Andy2> md5 is ok
[08:54] <valorie> TheFakeazneD525: I dunno, look at the documentation
[08:54] <valorie> it's been a long while since I used a vm to test anything
[08:56] <lordievader> hateball: Did you mean !ubuntu+1?
[08:56] <lordievader> !ubuntu+1
[08:56] <ubottu> Utopic Unicorn is the codename for Ubuntu 14.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1
[09:24] <hateball> lordievader: yes, but ubuntu isnt kubuntu is it :p
[09:28] <TheFakeazneD525> hateball: just a different interface
[09:29] <hateball> TheFakeazneD525: By which logic this, and other not-actually-#ubuntu channels should not exist at all
[09:29] <lordievader> hateball: Still, all Utopic support is in #ubuntu+1, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
[09:30] <hateball> It's not very consistent having different channels depending on DE, but only for currently supported releases
[09:30] <hateball> lordievader: Yes, that's fine. Just inconsistent :p

[20:48]  * TheFakeazneD525 pokes lordievader
[20:48] <TheFakeazneD525> So, I added the "radeon" driver to the modprobe blacklist, because the page on the wiki said to...
[20:49] <TheFakeazneD525> but now, I can't boot with the default grub option
[20:49] <TheFakeazneD525> so I removed the rule, but it still wont wokr
[20:52] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: Err, what page?
[20:52] <TheFakeazneD525> ummm
[20:52] <lordievader> Seems like a bad idea.

[20:52] <TheFakeazneD525> wait its probably in my history
[20:53] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: You do know what blacklisting means right?
[20:53] <TheFakeazneD525> it won't load it at boot... r-right?
[20:53] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: Correct.
[20:54] <TheFakeazneD525> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[20:54] <TheFakeazneD525> lordievader: does fglrx require radeon?
[20:54] <TheFakeazneD525> wait...
[20:55] <TheFakeazneD525> Make sure you deload the module ati-agp by issuing: sudo rmmod ati-agp and blacklist it in: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[20:55] <TheFakeazneD525> I really should double check things
[20:56] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: If you install the fglrx driver trough apt there is no need to manually blacklist anything.
[20:56] <TheFakeazneD525> I did, but when i booted normally it used the open sauce driver
[20:56] <TheFakeazneD525> even though I had fglrx installed, through drivermangler
[20:57] <lordievader> Is dkms installed?
[20:57] <TheFakeazneD525> ye
[20:57] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: Besides, the radeon driver doesn't cut it for you?
[20:58] <TheFakeazneD525> I like squeezing whatever performance I can get out of this machine :c
[21:00] <TheFakeazneD525> lordievader: how to fix
[21:00] <TheFakeazneD525> because I unblacklisted radeon, rebooted, and chose the default ubuntu option in grub
[21:00] <TheFakeazneD525> but it just went into a blackish screen
[21:00] <TheFakeazneD525> couldn't even go into tty
[21:00] <lordievader> TheFakeazneD525: At this point no idea. And since I'm going to bed I have no time to debug it. Tomorrow?

[23:02] <sqph> you mean "ubuntu-bug kdeconnect --needs-packaging" ?
[23:03] <sqph> let me look this up
[23:04] <valorie> no, the bug will be on kde-connect
[23:04] <valorie> not sure how to do a wish in ubuntu-bug
[23:04] <valorie> but there should be a way, because ubuntu-bug <3
[23:07] <sqph> valorie: i'm pretty sure the actual package is "kdeconnect". i've been looking at the man pages for "apport-cli" and there doesn't seem to be an option for requesting packages either.
[23:09] <valorie> a new package differs from an updated one also
[23:11] <sqph> "apt-cache show kdeconnect" seems to indicate "kdeconnect" replaced "kdeconnect-kde" some time ago. not sure what the latest from the tarball names itself

[23:19] <valorie> hmmm, I have 0.7.1
[23:20] <valorie> http://paste.kde.org/pcegzin1y
[23:20] <valorie> looks like you need backports or something
[23:20] <TheFakeazneD525> kdeconnect-cli 1.0
[23:22] <sqph> hmm... I'm on 32bit architecture, maybe they haven't updated 32bit repos with 0.7.x ?

[23:23] <valorie> sqph: try `apt-cache policy kdeconnect` in the konsole and see
[23:23] <valorie> compare to my paste

[23:25] <sqph> valorie: see comment http://paste.kde.org/pcegzin1y
[23:26] <genii> This would seem to indicate you're on 64 bit architecture and not 32
[23:26] <sqph> genii: (i'm the comment, not the original paste)
[23:27] <valorie> indeed, you need to install the backports ppa
[23:27] <sqph> my repos are all i386
[23:27] <valorie> I mean repo
[23:27] <sqph> valorie: how do i do this?
=== dimitris is now known as Guest87741
[23:28] <valorie> `sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports` in the cli or just add it in muon or whatever gui you use
[23:30] <sqph> hmm but isn't that going to add lots of packages to my repos, that aren't well tested? isn't there an option to tell apt to look in the backports just for this particular package?
[23:31] <e__> I installed KDE Applications and Development Platform 4.14 but under "About KDE" it says I have Platform Version 14.13.3. Should I worry about this? I saw a bunch of system files being updated and I restarted the system.
[23:33] <sqph> from debian.org "It is therefore recommended to only select single backported packages that fit your needs, and not use all available backports."
[23:34] <sqph> valorie: say I add the ppa repo, then if I type "apt-get install somepackage", will it get the backport by default if available?
[23:34] <sqph> cause i'm not sure I can deal with that with my limited knowledge
[23:36] <valorie> sqph: yes
[23:37] <valorie> do `sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade` if you want to the newest everything
[23:40] <sqph> valorie: ok thx. but I don't want everything to be backports. see the quote from debian.org. i'm sure i can apt-get install kdeconnect from the backport repo without actually subscribing to the repo. not sure I will get future updates though. But if it installs dependencies correctly, then I'm happy with that. I'll try --simulate and see

[23:46] <sqph> valorie: "sudo apt-get install kdeconnect -t trusty-backports" seems to do the trick. Will try installing now. thx for the help
[23:50] <sqph> rebooting
[23:57] <sqph> it worked. i feel so 1337
