User1: Good morning.
User2: hello. i have a problem
User2: I'm Spanish and so is my keyboard. The point is, when I try to write Ã¡, most apps get 'a (first the 'tilde', then the vowel)
User2: Anyone with a link, documentation or something? Thank you
User1: User2 You might want to reconfigure your keyboard layout, or checkout the compose key.
User2: User1 the point is, it fails in gtk apps. In KDE apps it works fine
User1: Hmm, I know next to nothing about gtk applications.
User3: *offtopic* Just heard Robert Plants new track - its rather good (i.e Led Zeppelin)
User1: User3 We have #kubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter ;)
User3: sorry - its not every day you hear a new track from a musical legend... I'll keep on topic...
 * friti feels that if a room or channel is deadly quiet, even offtopic topics should be allowed and even welcomed
User3: in some ways it being quiet is good thing - no major bugs...
User3: actually I have an on topic question....
User3: I have a crappy samsung netbook - low spec. I'm going to upgrade the OS soon on it - can kubuntu(kde) be made lightweight enough to warrant me trying to install it ?
User3: it has ubuntu/unity which is good for screen usage - but its deadly slow
User3: I use kde on all my desktops - but always considered it too 'heavy' for a netbook
User4: Inmy experience, Unity is much slower than KDE
User3: anyone here have experience of Kubuntu(or any version of kde) on a low powered netbook ?
User4: I have ran it on an EEEPC
User3: User4 yes but are they no on-par ish on system resource usage
User3: *not*
User1: User3 I'd checkout LXDE or XFCE for that netbook.
User3: User1 thanks - I did try e17 before (bodhi) and that was usable, seems no point installing that now as v 3. will be out in a few months..
User3: maybe lxle then...
User5: 'Morning
User6: evening
User5: morning
User7: noon
User8: good morning
User5: ok , hey nescius, Avihay, dodger_  :)
User9: I just installed kubuntu 14.04 yesterday. I like it. everything is running well. But the spell checker in firefox is set to british english, for some reason. The system is set to American English.
User5: ewl, check FF open menu>preferences>content tab>languages
User10: hi! i have installed project neon via the ppas next to kubuntu 14.04 and how can i use the settings for my apps with plasma... what folder do i have to copy?
User9: Thanks BluesKaj but I already found out how to do it. Right click in a text box and select the language dictionary there. Thanks for the response.
User5: mcstr, update and upgrade after adding the ppa then dist-upgrade
User10: @blues i have done update and upgrade, the ppa is added, plasma already running.... i mean when i chose kde plasma on the login screen i have all the programs i installed in kubuntu 14.04 but they are lacking the settings.. for example kontact has no mail accounts, this quassel irc has no the channels saved, etc.
User5: ok mcstr sorry I can't help fix those bugs, since I don't run the neon project ppa ...ppas aren't officially supported on this chat, fyi.
User10: i dont really think its a bug ... probably i just have to copy one folder dunno which one tho
User5: check launchpad
User5: mcstr, suggest you join #project-neon
User11: ok, this is too much: I spent 2 days to get my system work after kubuntu destroyed everything when I did do-release-upgrade. Now I got it back (with loosing all my data on all partitions). But after downloading some updates, touchpad stopped working. I've added a file nsmouse.conf in /etc/modprobe and added a line "options psmouse proto=imps", and touchpad is working now although it shows that no touchpad
User11: found in settings. But still, touchpad scrolling does not work
User11: the question is: is it possible to make kubuntu work without breaking something on each update, or should I switch to something else, like arch?
User5: AleksejsHome, did you update and upgrade your existing packages before release upgrading?
User11: yes, everything was up to date
User11: but it's too late, I have fresh install now, as kubuntu 13.10 live usb destroyed all partitions before I even started to do something
User11: I got back to 12.10, and almost everything works
User11: except touchpad and nvidia vcard
User11: touchpad worked perfectly, until I run an update
User5: well, dunno what went wrong for your setup , but I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 two says ago and the only problem I had was getting the nvidia graphics 331 driver to work, otherwise all went fine
User11: well, I suppose, we have different hardware
User11: kubuntu 13.10 can't work with my wifi card, so I switched back to 12.10
User11: how do I get touchpad work as it should?
User5: Im actually running 14.10 on this laptop and have fewer problems than I had with 13.10 and 14.04
User11: I won't risk trying something else, as 12.10 is the only one which works with my wifi
User11: but I really want to get my touchpad back
User11: probably, the only solution is to reinstall and disable updates forever
User11: it sounds like windows
User5: have you looked at system settings>input devices>touchpad ?
User11: yes, and it says Touchpad not found
User11: as I said before
User5: install synaptiks
User11: I did
User11: when I launch synaptiks, it says "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave."
User11: if I launch sudo synaptiks, it shows "No touchpad found"
User5: AleksejsHome, try dbus-launch
User11: it showed dbus address and pid
User5: AleksejsHome, dbus-launch synaptiks ?
User11: "No touchpad found"
User11: ok, reinstalling
User5: bbl
User12: HI
User12: This is my first time on IRC
User12: HELP
User12: QUIT
User12: quit
User13: k
User5: looks like it's his last :)
User14: hello, has anyone tried to compile the lasted plasma mediacenter on kubuntu 14.04?
User1: User14 Compiling isn't really the Ubuntu way, don't think there are many in here who have compiled the plasma mediacenter. Perhaps in #kubuntu-devel they have.
User14: thanks lordievader
User5: csogatori , why compile, when it's in the repos?
User1: ^ that is the Ubuntu way :)
User14: User5 1.3 is in the repos? O_o
User14: hmm, no, it isn't
User5: sogatori, ok, i see it's buggy ..now I understand why you think compiling will provide a better version, but that isn't necessarily true.
User15: valorie: is the phonon-backend-vlc still maintained?
User15: valorie: I'm the guy with the headset where I can't use the earplugs and the mic at the same time on kubuntu, while on ubuntu it works just fine
User15: (usb headset)
User16: anyone has problems with qt creator in kubuntu 14.04? The window doesn't seem to be drawing itself, only when I move it or alike
User1: User16 Ohh, let me install it, if I don't already have it. I'll check it out.
User16: User1 I am using an intel graphics card don't know if that matters but I haven't seen this problem in any other application
User1: User16 Works fine here.
User16: User1 thanks for your time, i am using a virtual machine for now
User1: User16 I'm not ;)
User17: ................
User18: Hello?
User18: heelloo????
User18: FUCK THSIS CHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
User13: Thats no way to get support...
User5: it's the generation that expects instant gratification, Pici
User19: User1 seems your workaround doesn't work here.. there's still a 2nd instance (at least there are not 3 now :)
User1: User19 You did disable the respawn option of PA?
User19: User1 not explicitly, but is that necessary?
User19: I would expect that to be disable by default, the standard start-up scripts also mention they won't work correctly if that's not disabled
User19: disabled*
User1: User19 No respawn is quite nice, therefore it is enabled by default. Anyhow disabeling it got rid of the two instances (it wouldn't start at all ;))
User19: but then I think that's the whole bug
User19: For GNOME/KDE/
User19: # Xfce sessions in Ubuntu Lucid/10.04, /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
User19: # handles this function of automatically starting PulseAudio on login, and for
User19: # it to work correctly your user must *not* have "autospawn = no" set in
User19: # ~/.pulse/client.conf (or in /etc/pulse/client.conf). By default, autospawn
User19: # is enabled. For other sessions, you can simply start PulseAudio with
User20: Z_God you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
User1: User19 Make a bug report, I'll confirm it.
User19: User1 seems it's the other way around, it should not be set according to the script
User19: I already made a bugreport, I'll see if I can find another one about the double instances
User19: User1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/1296425
User21: Ubuntu bug 1296425 in alsa-plugins (Ubuntu) "pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible." [High,Confirmed]
User1: Heh, I connfirmed it already.
User22: Ouch.
User19: User1 yep, I saw it :) I marked my report as a dupe
User23: hello! Where can I find the GPG public key used to sign Kubuntu releases?
User1: User23 On the Ubuntu keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
User24: Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong (attempting to modify my PATH): http://pastie.org/9320725
User23: User1 can you give me a key ID please?
User1: User24 Second line in your bashrc should be: PATH=$SCRIPTS:$PATH (without the beginning $)
User1: User23 Apt will tell you if it is missing a key.
User23: User1 I don't have apt installed on my Gentoo system.
User24: User1 Thank You!
User1: User23 Err, you know this is Kubuntu support right? Key id is probably 437D05B5.
User23: User1 yes. I downloaded a kubuntu ISO and now want to check its integrity using SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg
User23: User1 but I need to know the correct GPG key ID.
User1: Md5sum doesn't cut it? http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download (bottom of the page)
User1: User23 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSHA256SUM
User23: User1 I know the procedure, but I still need the public key.
User23: gpg does not automatically download a public key for me. And IMHO if it would this would probably break the security for checking the integrity of SHA256SUMS anyway.
User1: User23 Ah you need to cdimage key, that's EFE21092
User23: User1 weird: gpg: Signature made Thu Apr 17 17:48:53 2014 EEST using DSA key ID FBB75451
User23: probably a hacked ttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ mirror then.
User23: http*
User1: I got one from 2012 and an older one from 2004 for 'Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key'.
User25: hey, i am getting 'language support not complete' notifications in 14.04 and LC_LANG is unset as well. any ideas on what could have been skipped?
User25: i installed using the server installation image, then installed kubuntu-desktop
User1: User25 That first one is quite normal, simply click the flag and it will prompt you with the package you are missing.
User26: Where can I download Kubuntu 14.04?
User25: User1 i can't authorize it to install the missing packages; my system is configured like that. if it would tell me the package names, i could install them manually.
User27: User26 http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu
User26: thanks
User1: User25 Pff, I don't really know what package it is precisely.
User1: !crosspost | SamwiseGamgee
User21: User26 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.
User25: User1 no problem :)
User26: sorry
User25: User1 hey, that was easy. a script called check-language-support seems to report some package names :)
User1: User25 Hihi, nice find ;)
User25: brb
User25: ok, no more missing packages. LC_LANG is still unset and i'm not sure if other LC_ stuff is correct either. 'en_DE.UTF-8' looks suspicious. could this be correct? i need german/european dates etc and english language
User28: org.kde.networkmanagement plasmoid in kde does not work. Tried to delete it using plasmapkg but it says it does not exist... Instead of the plasmoid  in the tray I get the error message "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.networkmanagement/contents/ui/main.qml:113:19: Type ConnectionItem unavailable", I think this because of the error in the connectionitem.qml:370: "Cannot assign to nonexistent property onAccepted"?? Any ideas, I even
User28: tried to reinstall kde-full did not help
User25: a-ha, looks like the LC_* values are all wrong and set by kde
User25: brb
User26: If I just copy the Kubuntu 14.04 one GB ISO onto my USB stick, can I use that to install it onto my PC?
User29: Samwise, no. Use this - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
User29: It will let you create a live CD/DVD on the USB drive, then you can install from there.
User29: The main reason just copying it over wont work is it needs to be bootable.
User22: It can be done with dd since the image is a hybrid. But not just by copying the iso file over.
