User1: Greetings. Which channel do I use for support?
User2: User1 for kubuntu support, you are in the right chan
User1: What channel is for Ubuntu?
User2: there are lots, but the basic support chan is #ubuntu
User2: !alis
User3: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http*
User2: you might find that useful, Winters
User2: I use it a lot
User1: Just one last question. Is this chat for Ubuntu?
User2: we're all part of the ubuntu community
User1: Ok confused, but will let it be.
User2: and kubuntu is KDE desktop on ubuntu, so yes
User2: ubuntu base provides lots of different desktops
User2: you can use any or all, as you prefer
User2: some desktops come with associated applications; again, you can use any or all
User2: whether they 'match' or not
User1: How do I know what I have?
User2: what sort of install medium did you use?
User1: I used a USB.
User1: And just downloaded there link that said LTS.
User2: called Ubuntu, or Kubuntu?
User1: I say Ubuntu.
User1: saw*
User2: in your IRC app, does it have a Help menu item?
User2: if it comes associated with a particular desktop, it will say so in there
User2: for instance, I use Konversation, which is a KDE application -- in the help menu, there is About Konversation, and About KDE
User1: I see Ubuntu Desktop Guide.
User1: 12.04 LTS
User2: cool, ok, you have Ubuntu
User2: we might be able to answer some of your questions, but #ubuntu is likely to be more helpful
User1: What is Xubuntu?
User2: that is the desktop xfce on ubuntu base
User1: OH ok.
User2: excellent for older machines
User1: On Linux Mint they have only one help room.
User2: very light and fast
User1: I love the gui stuff.
User2: mint is a spinoff of ubuntu, as I recall
User2: there are lots of those
User1: Yes, it is. Support is not so great. haha
User2: some love it
User2: everyone should use what they like; this isn't religion
User1: LOL
User1: Can you link me to the different downloads of Ubuntu?
User2: nice chatting with ya, but it is dinner time here, and I'm going afk
User2: such as what, Winters?
User1: Ok, thanks for your help.
User2: the latest?
User1: The LTS ones/
User2: !lts
User3: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04)
User2: not helpful
User1: What?
User2: !precise
User3: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu.  Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204
User2: there we go
User1: Thank you kindly.
User2: the link above should have all the LTS releases
User1: It does. Thank you once again.
User1: http://www.kubuntu.org is for this chat room?
User1: How can I install an ISO to a USB?
User1: Greetings dziegler, is kubuntu.org for this chat?
User2: kubuntu.org is our website, yes
User2: and yes you can burn an ISO to a usb
User2: that's how I always do it nowdays
User2: kubuntu has 'startup disk creator'
User2: not sure what ubuntu calls it
User2: we have alt+f2; I think there is a search thing on the unity desktop as well
User2: now
User2: oh, winters left
User2: damn
User4: User2 it's called the same thing
User4: ah
User4: he's gone :/
User2: yeah
User2: boo
User5: hi guys. I switched to kde after upgrading ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 and then installing kubuntu-desktop via apt. However, I can't seem to find how I should manage wireless interfaces (or any ifcs, for that matter). There's no icon in the systray that I can seem to find. Should there be or is there another way?
User2: Whiskey`Wonka: wireless worked out of the box for me
User2: !wireless
User3: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
User4: User5 you want the new Plasma Network Management tool
User2: maybe some of that stuff will help?
User4: it should be part of the systray though
User2: bizarre
User2: anyway, the wifidocs have good cli stuff to figure out what's going on
User2: years ago I used to have trouble
User4: ^^
User5: User4 do you know what command will start it from the cmdline?
User4: sudo service network-manager restart should start it over if it isn't running already
User4: does ifconfig and iwconfig show you anything?
User5: User4 think i just found it by enabling "Network Management" in the panel options
User4: :D
User5: User4 yeah, both work fine. cool, thanks
User4: odd that it's not enabled by default, though
User4: Whiskey`Wonka: broadcam?
User4: that's weird
User4: intel should work ootb
User4: Whiskey`Wonka: at what point? like after KDM/KSplash
User4: hmmm
User4: I thought lenovos were cool with linux :$
User2: you verified it, etc?
User2: and is this a fresh download, or an old spin?
User2: oh modprobe, how I hated to have to use that
User2: !modprobe
User2: ok.....
User2: ubottu doesn't like to think of it either
User3: User2 I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
User2: amen, sister
User4: o?
User4: !google modprobe
User3: I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/
User4: lol, sheesh
User2: that's whached, Whiskey`Wonka
User2: whacked
User2: you might not have noticed if the updates were installed as it went along, instead of after
User2: however, whatever bug was active in the beginning, I thought was fixed
User2: Whiskey`Wonka: will you please write to kub-devel and report your experience?
User2: you don't have to subscribe, if you aren't
User2: I think we should fix this
User2: Whiskey`Wonka: but if you write and the devels want to ask you technical questions, they will be able to ask
User2: most of them don't monitor this chan
User2: pottsmark@example.net I think
User6: good morning
User7: Good morning.
User8: sigh: I had hoped a clean and fresh install of 13.10 from scratch would make this go away:  http://pastebin.com/Tip3iQSA
User8: guess not
User7: User8 Seems to me your nVidia driver is misbehaving.
User8: started in 13.04
User8: complete lockup - have to press reset button to restart machine
User7: User8 From your log: "This may be caused my a misbehaving driver monopolizing the server's resources." Not very strange that you have a complete lockup if <- is true.
User8: don't remember who I got email contact with at Nvidia, but I emailed this to them almost a year ago
User7: What driver do you use and what card do you have?
User8: it's a GTS-450 and the driver is the one from the kubuntu repos
User8: 319.60
User8: I've been seeing this for almost a year now, very random sporadic to the tune of happening about once a month
User8: I would normally tend to blame hardware for something this intermittent, but the backtrace is always the same
User7: User8 On the nVidia website I see a 319.76 release, perhaps that fixes the problem.
User8: right now I'm just bummed; as an end-user I need to be spending my computer time doing money-making things - every hour I spend trying to fix something broken is an hour I'm not making money
User9: Hiyas all
User10: Hi, i use kubuntu for a while now (nice) but now i try to write a letter in libreoffice and the quotes are not working '"  <- those two
User6: daft, define not working
User10: define?
User10: you mean insert -> special character?
User6: daft whad do you mean by "the quotes are not working"
User10: I cant type them.
User10: Ã© is one ' and then an e
User10: ' is hitting '' twice
User10: but not in libre office. there it does noting,
User10: same for "
User6: maybe some problem with keyboard layout ?
User10: can you use the quotes in libre office
User6: Writer ?
User6: yes they rok fine
User6: *work
User7: User10 Try hitting " and then space. The Dutch kb layout, for example, works this way.
User10: nope nothing.
User7: User10 Do they work in other programs btw?
User10: :/
User7: User10 Do they work in other programs btw?
User10: yea
User7: User10 So it is a problem with Libreoffice?
User10: yup the problem is limited to LibreOffice
User7: User10 I don't use LibreOffice so I'm afraid I cannot help you there. But I think the folks over at #libreoffice might be able to help you.
User10: oki. thanks.
User11: /dcc chat jnvsor
User11: hi der
User12: Hi all... does anyone know of a decent, truly global GUI network proxy switcher?
User12: the proxy program that ships with Kubuntu appears to be pretty much completely ineffective
User13: hi
User13: I connected Windows Phone 8 to Lubuntu 13.10 and tried to move files insid SD card but i couldnt. I had error that its unsupported.. WHY?
User13: i get this error: http://i43.tinypic.com/2468htv.png
User7: User13 This is #kubuntu, for Lubuntu support is in #lubuntu.
User13: I know
User14: User13 Don't crosspost.
User13: why
User7: !crosspost
User3: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.
User13: why not fair?
User15: hi
User15: i'm having a problem with trash plasmoid
User15: when i clock over it to open trash
User15: dolphin opens in home directory
User15: instead of doing it in trash
