[00:51] <ap0c> Waffl3x: Looks like HDTV resolutions for 1080i and 480i if your TV uses those
[00:51] <ap0c> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920x1080
[00:52] <Waffl3x> what?
[00:53] <ap0c> screen resolutions
[00:53] <ap0c> what about them? what's the weird option
[00:53] <Waffl3x> no 60hz
[00:53] <Waffl3x> the tv supports 60hz
[00:56] <Waffl3x> ap0c: what do you think?
[00:56] <ap0c> I really don't know , maybe google or a forum post would help ^
[00:56] <ap0c> I am just using a laptop / default laptop monitor right now
[00:57] <Waffl3x> :P
[02:36] <smaudet> nobody willing to help?
[02:50] <ap0c> smaudet, why are you scared to upgrade to 14.04 LTS?
[02:51] <smaudet> ap0c: because I think the drivers will all blow up
[02:51] <smaudet> this is an older machine circa 2009/10, I don't think the package maintainers have a good understanding of this hardware
[02:52] <smaudet> since as I said nearly everytime I update it tries to install the wrong wifi drivers
[02:52] <smaudet> My guess is that if I update it will install those wrong wifi drivers, and my ethernet (which is currently not working) will also be unavailable
[02:52] <smaudet> that basically makes it junk for me.
[02:53] <smaudet> and its not fun to sideload wifi drivers on a 'clean' system that has no build stuff installed
[02:53] <smaudet> its a nightmare, actually, I've done it once and it took me half a day
[02:53] <ap0c> you do know that drivers are all handled by the kernel?
[02:53] <smaudet> And that's part of the problem, I don't think my drivers are compatible with the newer kernels
[02:53] <smaudet> I'm on 3.2
[02:54] <smaudet> last lts I check is on 3.17
[02:54] <smaudet> checked*
[02:54] <ap0c> I'm on 3.13.0-40-generic on 14.04.1 LTS
[02:54] <smaudet> 14.04.3 I think is what I checked
[02:54] <smaudet> just ran an install on a newer machine I just built
[02:55] <smaudet> but no way I'm installing 14.04.x on here
[02:55] <smaudet> too new and I'm 100% it will just break
[02:55] <smaudet> rather if I could figure out my problem, maybe I have a chance at using 14.04
[02:55] <smaudet> but for now that chance is zero
[02:55] <smaudet> so I'd appreciate help
[02:56] <ap0c> you could always try a live image on a USB or CD to see if it's compatible with your hardware
[02:56] <ap0c> I have a laptop from 2010 and it works fine
[02:56] <smaudet> yeah, but the wifi?
[02:56] <smaudet> what chipset do you have
[02:56] <smaudet> I've got b43
[02:58] <smaudet> I mean I expect the usb/keyboard/mouse and vga will still work, but I've got no chance in hell that the network will work at all for 14.04
[02:58] <smaudet> specifically I have BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
[03:01] <ap0c> how do I find out what chipset I'm using?
[03:01] <ap0c> it worked out of the box for me and I never checked

[15:31] <JunkHunk> but...it told me the file already exists, I deleted it and run it again but...I still cant run the application

[19:44] <Slander> Un momento amigo.
[19:45] <Slander> While I'm here, does anyone know of a way to move an open application between Activites?
[19:49] <JunkHunk> if only I knew what activities are for
[19:50] <Slander> They are like differnt desktops, you can have different widgets and programs open.
[19:50] <JunkHunk> you named it I already have multiple desktops I dont need activities
[19:52] <JunkHunk> it looks twisty to me
[19:53] <krytarik> Slander: See here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=98429
[19:54] <JunkHunk> okay
[19:54] <Slander> JunkHunk: I'm installing Skype, I needed to anyway.
[19:55] <JunkHunk> lol
[19:55] <JunkHunk> well..I think I see the point of activities..
[19:56] <JunkHunk> a kind of keeping applications bound to desktops...perhaps?
[19:56] <Slander> I felt the same way at first. But then I made a "System Managemet" activity with terminals and system info widgets.
[19:56] <JunkHunk> oh wise..
[19:57] <JunkHunk> so now I am the user...now the administrator
[19:57] <JunkHunk> neat idea in this madness
[19:58] <Slander> xD I'm new to KDE aswell. Theres a lot going on.
[20:00] <citizen> just saying hi...
[20:01] <JunkHunk> I think I ll try to get that activity for my kubuntu
[20:01] <JunkHunk> too

[20:10] <Slander> brb gotta restrt
[20:31] <Slander> JunkHunk: The only thing I'm seeing is the "check for updates at startup" option in the skype menu.
[20:32] <JunkHunk> hmmm?
[20:33] <JunkHunk> in my kubuntu it is the first window I see
[20:33] <JunkHunk> it always startup at login
[20:35] <Slander> Just a sec, I've gotta send some emails and I'll restart gain.
[20:37] <JunkHunk> in the system settings spot you pointed out...I can see dropbox under autostart but not skype
[20:38] <krytarik> JunkHunk: Maybe it's this, then: http://askubuntu.com/a/461281
[20:39] <Slander> Ah, right. KDE remembers what is open.
[20:40] <JunkHunk> krytarik, you nailed man!

[20:41] <JunkHunk> In Kubuntu 14.04, the problem was solved by going to Startup and Shutdown, then Session Management and checking Start with an empty session and Apply.
[20:43] <Slander> I'd totally check that too, if my wireless card didn't suck so hard.

[20:56] <josuedhg> hello
[20:56] <josuedhg> I'm looking for C linux user projects
[20:57] <josuedhg> does somebody knows something about it?
[21:00] <Slander> http://sourceforge.net/directory/language:c/os:linux/freshness:recently-updated/
[21:01] <Slander> I can't believe I nearly paid for a windows program that does less than Kontact.
[21:05] <josuedhg> why would you have to pay it?
[21:06] <Slander> It's a commercial software
=== soee_ is now known as soee
[21:40] <Josh^> does anyone else have issues of Chromium freezing the whole system?
[21:40] <Josh^> it keeps happening to me and I have to click ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a console screen and then ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to my desktop
[21:41] <Josh^> that fixes it every time but it's rather annoying
[21:43] <soee> nope, but Chromium sometimes stops to respond for me, have to minimize it and maximize that it works again
[21:43] <soee> but im on plasma 5, so this might be also related to not full activities support or somethinf
[21:50] <Slander> It does the same to me on Plasma 4, soee
[21:54] <parsnip> What type of terminal is Konsole? Is it xterm or... ?
[22:12] <larsivi> yesterday I updated my 14.04 for the first time in a little while on my dell xps 13 dev edition (the original one) and now the touchpad is pretty much unusable
[22:12] <larsivi> anyone seen something similar?
[22:13] <larsivi> the touchpad settings seems to confirm that there is something with the config (a conflict or whatever), but I wasn't able to actually see any obvious differences
[22:15] <larsivi> for example it appears that it triggers scrolling when it shouldn't (one finger)
