00:14.18Dhraakellianillogic-al: just out of curiosity, have you tried to see if running kappfinder does anything?
00:14.41thiagoillogic-al: the menu is in that kde directory
00:14.45Dhraakellianalthough I'm not exactly sure how kappfinder works, so it might or might not help
00:14.51illogic-alDhraakellian: I've used it plenty of times.
00:15.22illogic-althiago: no it isn't
00:15.35Dhraakellian~/.kde/share/applnk/ should have the .desktop files
00:16.14thiagoillogic-al: yes it is.
00:16.16illogic-al$KDEDIR/share/applnk has my menu
00:16.33thiagoillogic-al: $KDEDIR/share/applications has my menu. The KDE applications are in the kde/ subdir.
00:16.37andrewy~/.kde/share/applnk, $KDEDIR/share/applnk, and ~/.config do not have the .desktop files for whta is shown in the KDE menu.
00:16.38aptandrewy: what are you talking about?
00:16.39thiagothis is KDE 3.3.0 rc1
00:16.56illogic-althiago: me too
00:17.06thiagoillogic-al: they're there.
00:17.07illogic-aland i deletec $KDEDIR today and reinstalled
00:17.22thiagoillogic-al: and if they aren't, you've got the wrong $KDEDIR
00:17.24illogic-althiago: ls $KDEDIR/share/applications
00:17.34illogic-althiago: i've only got one $KDEDIR
00:17.52andrewyoh, they're in there. thanks.

00:18.09dicrapioques. in the kmenu, the logout button, which is the command it invokes?
00:18.29illogic-althiago: that's not the menu though
00:18.46thiagodicrapio: the equivalent to 'dcop ksmserver default logout'
00:18.53thiagoillogic-al: again: yes it is.
00:19.09illogic-alif you look in applnk it has the exact same structe as the menu
00:19.20thiagoillogic-al: KDE doesn't use applnk anymore
00:19.31thiagothe new, flat directory structure is the XDG standard.
00:19.38illogic-aloooooooooh
00:19.48illogic-alwhy didn't you say that :)
00:19.49thiagomenu subdirs are specified as categories in the .desktop files
00:20.01thiagoI have been trying to. I told you it was the menu all along.
00:20.10illogic-albut you didn't explain
00:20.16thiagoyou didn't ask :)
00:20.19illogic-allol
00:20.59dicrapiok so if im trying to create a shortcut to that in the panel i type that?
00:21.08thiagodicrapio: no
00:21.30thiagodicrapio: there's no way to get the logout dialog from a shortcut
00:21.43thiagoor maybe there is. Check the lock/logout applet's code.
00:21.44dicrapiohmm
00:22.27dicrapiowheres that?
00:25.46thiagodicrapio: kdebase/kicker/applets/lockout
00:25.58thiagoactually, I've been nice to you and I did check the code
00:26.03thiagoit's the dcop command alright
00:26.20thiagoit takes three integer arguments. A combination of them will cause the window to show up.
00:27.30thiagoreference: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/kdecore/html/classKApplication.html#a9
00:28.44dicrapiothx
00:29.15thiagothe default values (the one the applet uses) are -1 -1 -1
00:29.45thiagoif you want to try, use "dcop ksmserver default logout -1 -1 -1" and see if the dialog pops up
00:29.58thiagoI won't try because it could log me out without asking for confirmation

00:32.14Dhraakellianhow do I get Konqueror to not load the url in the clipboard when I middleclick?

00:36.12ironfroggyeverytime i start konq, it has a bunch of tabs open. they are all pages i had open at once like a month ago.. how do i clear this list of pages so they dont open?
00:37.17Dhraakellianironfroggy: close them all
00:37.37Dhraakellian(so you have a single blank tab (or home page tab))
00:37.49Dhraakellianand save your webbrowsing view profile again
00:39.19ironfroggyi never saved it to begin with. howd they get there?

00:41.28Dhraakellianwhat version of amaroK comes with 3.3L
00:41.36Dhraakellians/L/\?/
00:42.45illogic-alnone
00:42.57illogic-alamarok is released independently of KDE
00:44.02Dhraakellianwell, which version of amaroK is in kdeextragear 3.3?
00:44.17Dhraakellian(I think that's where it is)
00:44.27mxclextragear is released independent of kde
00:45.02Dhraakellianhmm...
00:45.24Dhraakellianthen why do I hear people talking about a new version of amarok in relation to KDE 3.3?
00:45.40illogic-alcause it's just convenient :)
00:45.41mxcldunno, they shouldn't be
00:45.48Dhraakellian(I was wondering if it was a higher version than I already have installed)
00:45.49Dhraakellianokay
00:46.00mxcl1.0.2 is latest
00:46.04mxclcvs is far more advanced
00:46.21Dhraakellianif amarok could play l365 stations, I'd say that it should replace noatun
00:46.39Dhraakellianbut it doesn't play live365 stations

00:47.58Dhraakellianthat has a link to the l365 site
00:48.11DhraakellianI tend to avoid it and use a saved playlist
00:48.23Dhraakellianin xmms or noatun
00:50.09mxclyou got a link to a stream?
00:50.21mxcljust I'd be surprised if there's anything amaroK can't play nowadays
00:53.11Dhraakellianhttp://www.live365.com/stations/wbunradio?play
00:53.17Dhraakellianand I'll be back in a couple minutes
00:57.51annmastupid IRC
00:58.30mxclDhraakellian: I can't get xmms to play that
01:00.38Dhraakellianokay...
01:01.15mxclDhraakellian: works for you?
01:01.26mxclI'm asking on #amarok to see if it can be played
01:02.25Dhraakellianhttp://dhraakellian.sevspace.com/sounds/WBUNplay.m3u might or might work
01:05.22mxclDhraakellian: that one works for me
01:05.28mxclin amaroK with xine-engine
01:05.32mxclcan't test the other engines

01:06.01Dhraakellianl365 is very annoying
01:06.12thiagokdeextragear isn't released
01:06.16DhraakellianI liked WBUN better when it was just plain old shoutcast
01:06.40Dhraakellianbut the person who ran the station wanted it to be legit
01:06.49Dhraakellianand have the capacity for more listeners
01:07.00grandmahi, i'm running KDE 3.1, and i'm looking at updating it to the latest KDE while keeping all my settings, i looked at doing it before but i had dependency issues, any suggestions for snag-free update?
01:08.08mxclgrandma: backup ~/.kde first :)
01:08.33mxclotherwise how are you planning to do it? rpms?
01:08.44grandmayes, rpms if possible
01:09.03Dhraakellianwhat distro?
01:09.07grandmaSuSE 9
01:09.25Dhraakellianokay... I think it's possible to upgrade with suse 9
01:09.39grandmayes, with dependency issues, heh
01:09.43Dhraakellian(KDE upgrading is one of the reasons I dislike RH)
01:09.49Dhraakelliangrandma: it's possible, though
01:09.53DhraakellianI was able to do it
01:10.02fred87no problems ditching kde x.y.z and grabbing CVS :)
01:10.08mxclthere should be semi-official suse 9 packages
01:10.08grandmayea i know Dhraakellian
01:10.35grandmalemme check again
01:10.38mxclwith suse I always used to use apt and the apt4rpm servers
01:10.43mxclhandle dependencies for you
01:10.48DhraakellianI forget exactly how I did it, but I think it involved unme^H^Hinstalling a certain package or two first
01:11.11Dhraakellianalmost slipped into gentoo terminology there
01:11.11fred87ah :)
01:11.13fred87i was wondering what that was...
01:12.16grandmawhen i go to update kde will my settings stay the same?
01:12.34mxclgrandma: yes, but they may not work anymore
01:12.47mxclgrandma: make a backup to be safe though
01:13.16grandmabackup of?
01:14.23Dhraakellian'cp ~/.kde ~/.kde.bak-date' is what I'd do
01:14.46Dhraakellianreplacing "date" with something like 2004-08-10
01:14.46grandmayea, but that's just my settings then isn't it?
01:14.55grandma:0P
01:15.37grandmabut i get what ur sayin :0P
01:16.19grandmagyah...i'm only updating for one app that doesn't come separate apparently
01:17.30grandmaoh yea i remember this...a billion packages to download
01:17.44Dhraakellianat least it's not Gnome
01:17.45Dhraakellian!;)
01:18.08grandmahrmm..how to automate
01:18.35grandmawget?
01:18.52grandmai take it i need every package...heh
01:19.56Dhraakellianwget --np -r
01:19.57DhraakellianI think
01:20.07Dhraakellian--no-parent
01:20.28Dhraakelliangrandma: most, probably
01:20.45Dhraakellianyou could probably get away without a couple of them
01:20.53grandmawell i'll just install them all while i'm at it
01:20.54grandmaheh
01:21.15grandmano parent?
01:21.16mxclcan't you just drag and drop from konqi? or is it not an ftp site
01:30.06grandma-nd?
01:30.11grandmano-directory
01:30.49Dhraakelliangrandma: wget --help
01:30.53Dhraakellian!;)
