[05:38] <Unit193> Can you give a precise link? I tried checking it out, was all fine for me.
[05:39] <Verndog> https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum.php is what I entered. What ip info would I use?
[05:42] <Verndog> I'm trying to contact there admin user to see if he can find out if I've been banned by accident. I never abuse their forum.

[08:34] <mparillo> Verndog: When I have seen that error on https://www.kubuntuforums.net (and it has been a couple of weeks now), I notice an extra string at the end of the URL. I delete that, hit enter, and I can always enter the thread. Repeat every time you get the 503.

[12:24] <Guest41643> I am using KUBUNTU ver 12. The browser is rekonq. Where is the search box?
[12:25] <Guest41643> anyone about
[12:25] <BluesKaj> Guest41643, best to use a different browser
[12:25] <soee> i havent been using rekonq for a long time now
[12:26] <soee> BluesKaj: +1
[12:26] <Guest41643> I might, but for the time being vcan I activate the search box?
[12:26] <soee> Chromium, Firefox, Qupzilla
[12:26] <Guest41643> I am running live cd at present
[12:27] <BluesKaj> Guest41643, just type your query into the addressbar thre
[12:27] <BluesKaj> then
[12:27] <Guest41643> ok
[12:27] <Guest41643> assume that search box not available - right
[12:28] <BluesKaj> yup
[12:28] <Guest41643> can I put some icons on the desktop
[12:29] <hateball> Guest41643: Like launchers for applications or what?
[12:29] <Guest41643> application icons
[12:29] <BluesKaj> try dragging them from the kmenu apps, never tried that on a live cd
[12:31] <Guest41643> seems to work
[12:32] <hateball> you can also set the plasma desktop to "folder view" for a more... windows like desktop
[12:32] <hateball> or just use krunner (alt+f2) to launch stuff
[12:32] <Guest41643> plasma desktop. I am new
[12:32] <hateball> well, the default desktop style
[12:33] <hateball> Guest41643: if you rightlick and go into settings you can change layout
[12:33] <Guest41643> Is kde like windows
[12:33] <hateball> No
[12:34] <BluesKaj> Guest41643, no, forget windows
[12:34] <Guest41643> Why is kde popular
[12:35] <BluesKaj> that's not a kubuntu question
[12:36] <Guest41643> ok. Am I right that kde uses less ram that unity
[12:36] <hateball> Probably not
[12:37] <Guest41643> I have both on cd's KUBUNTU seems faster - assumed less ram
[12:37] <BluesKaj> depends, apple and oranges cpomparison
[12:37] <BluesKaj> unity is chaotic , just to be different
[12:38] <Guest41643> I need to decide whether to install ubuntu or kubuntu. I have ver 12, less Ram cos I only have 1GB and dont like to ligher versions
[12:39] <BluesKaj> try both live cds, then decide
[12:39] <hateball> 1GB is enough for KDE. The problem is when you start running other things as well, but that goes for anything
[12:40] <Guest41643> Yes, difficullt decision. Kubuntu seems more configurable
[12:40] <BluesKaj> barely enough to be honest
[12:41] <BluesKaj> Guest41643, it's very configurable
[12:41] <Guest41643> seems to work for me. I statef fiirefox, writer and system monitor. Still had bags of ram left. More that when using unity
[12:46] <Guest41643> how can I disconnect kubunty for the internet without logging ouyt
[12:47] <BluesKaj> click on the network manager icon in panel, then choose disconnect
[12:49] <Guest41643> where is the panel
[12:50] <BluesKaj> along the bottom of your screen, usually
[12:51] <BluesKaj> the network manager should right beside the time clock
[12:52] <BluesKaj> be
[12:53] <Guest41643> i am using wifi and have wlan interface
[12:54] <BluesKaj> same place
[12:55] <Guest41643> cant see a disconnect button
[12:55] <hateball> uncheck the interface
[12:55] <hateball> you're on 12.x, may look a bit different then I guess... can't quite recall
[12:57] <Guest41643> i can uncheck enable wireless - seems a bit odd
[12:59] <Guest41643> got it interface disconnect. thank you
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Guest41643, why 12 . whynot use 14.04?

[14:55] <rberg> hmm looks like kate is broken since the kubuntu ppa updates yesterday
[14:56] <rberg> kontact no longer starts after it tried to open kate
[14:58] <BluesKaj> ppa's aren't really a support area in #kubuntu chat
[14:59] <BluesKaj> did you install plasma5?
[14:59] <rberg> ahh well consider it a warning then :)
[14:59] <rberg> no plasma5 is not installed.. but it had been
[15:01] <BluesKaj> i had kubunt-plasma5 installed and it broke my system so i had reinstall
[15:01] <BluesKaj> to reinstall that is
[15:02] <rberg> ouch.. I downgraded my install with (and dont try this at home!) 'dpkg -i /var/apt/cache/archive/*ppa1*.deb'
[15:02] <rberg> as the packages that borked my system were all ppa2
[15:04] <BluesKaj> well I just reinstalled 14.10 to /
[15:04] <BluesKaj> took a whole 20 mins and <i was back on track
[15:05] <rberg> reinstalling is no fun though :)
[15:05] <BluesKaj> don't think I'm going to install plasma5 'til I'm forced to ...the look isn't appealing at all so far
[15:09] <rberg> I owe whoever wrote ppa-purge a beer :)
[15:35] <Avihay> Any of you gold folks happen to know how can I get the grid layout and grouping desktop layout in 14.04? default desktop and folder view don't do it for me
[15:38] <shadeslayer> Avihay: plasma-widgets-addons maybe
[15:39] <Avihay> I think I installed it and it didn't help, I should realy have asked infront of the target computer
[15:39] <shadeslayer> !find grid
[15:39] <ubottu> Found: python-gridfs, python3-gridfs, autogrid, autogrid-test, gfal2-plugin-gridftp, globus-gridftp-server-dbg, globus-gridftp-server-progs, grid-packaging-tools, gridengine-client, gridengine-common (and 75 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=grid&searchon=names&suite=trusty&section=all
[15:40] <shadeslayer> hm, don't really remember
[15:41] <Avihay> plasma-widgets-addons description doesn't mention the alternative layouts

[16:59] <derek-g> so I'm loooking at all those KDE5 plasma screenshots and they all look pretty nice - when is that gonna be available in some mainstream distro?
[17:00] <Ataxie> Looks like October (14.10)
[17:00] <derek-g> Ataxie, ahh. already in 14.10 - that's kewwl

[17:01] <Ataxie> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-plasma-5
[17:01] <Ataxie> :/ too late
[17:03] <shadeslayer> derek-g: what's KDE5?
[17:03] <derek-g> shadeslayer, plasma 5?
[17:03] <shadeslayer> right
[17:03] <shadeslayer> there's no such thing as KDE5
[17:04] <derek-g> shadeslayer, what-ever
[17:04] <Ataxie> Kde Framework 5 = Kde5 , isnt it?
[17:04] <shadeslayer> nope
[17:04] <shadeslayer> there's no such thing as KDE5
[17:04] <derek-g> shadeslayer, sue me
[17:04] <derek-g> KDE5 -there I said it. :)
[17:05] <tsimpson> KF5 a short way of saying it
[17:05] <tsimpson> except that Plasma 5 is built on top of KF5
[17:07] <Ataxie> Did somebody has the kubuntu-backports ppa activated?
[17:12] <|xk05|> BluesKaj, you can also run kde on a smaller backend
[17:16] <|xk05|> BluesKaj, for instance, in 'Default Applications' you can choose a window manager that you have installed that uses less resources than kwin.
[17:16] <BluesKaj> |xk05|, yes of course, like openbox rtc
[17:17] <BluesKaj> etc
