00:00.51turdfergussonwow, this clock applet utilizes 85% of cpu usage in superkaramba lol
00:01.06Roeyturdfergusson:  awesome way to use cpu bandwidth :)
00:01.42canllaithYep, make sure you are getting your moneys worth out of your processor and it's cooling!
00:01.47turdfergussonIndeed
00:02.10turdfergussonthink i'll try and find a less system intensive clock applet hehe

00:22.28canllaithYou want to drop a shortcut that does 'kfmclient openURL /' I think ....
00:22.53canllaithOk take your current 'home' shortcut
00:23.05Ruffian|JANE|i just want the /directory
00:23.07Ruffian|JANE|not /home
00:23.16canllaithWell if you don't want to listen that's cool I can go back to eating my lunch :)
00:23.24Ruffian|JANE|ok, ill listen
00:24.03canllaithok what you want to do is create a new 'link to application' on your desktop
00:24.09canllaithUsing the right click menu
00:24.13Ruffian|JANE|+0
00:24.14Ruffian|JANE|=)
00:24.28Ruffian|JANE|ok
00:24.33canllaithOnce you have done that make the command be
00:24.37canllaith'kfmclient openURL /'
00:24.46canllaithOn the last tab under command.
00:24.54canllaithThen click on 'advanced options' down the bottom of that tab
00:25.02canllaithYou'll see an option that says 'Run as a different user' in that popup box
00:26.00canllaithType in root and there you have it.
00:26.08Ruffian|JANE|i cant find run as different user
00:26.08gumpishHow do I change the mouse cursor?
00:27.09canllaithRuffian|JANE|: Usually there is already a shotcut to tyat

00:28.05gumpishthanks Renze
00:29.09gumpishnow then... how do I create my own theme =p
00:29.29Ruffian|JANE|canllaith, i clicked what you said and nothing happendd
00:30.07canllaithRuffian|JANE|: Then you did not do it quite right.
00:30.21canllaithAlthough it seems konqueror --profile filemanagement is the better way
00:31.02Ruffian|JANE|canllaith, i found the run as different user command, but in Ubuntu, root is different
00:31.09canllaithThat's nice.
00:31.23Ruffian|JANE|su is sudo, and you use your user password instead
00:31.26canllaithRenze: Whatcha up to?
00:32.01Ruffian|JANE|so i get the error: incorrect password
00:35.28Ruffian|JANE|i figured it out

00:49.28nekothere's a question actually
00:50.10Dhraakellianwhat do you get if you multiply six by nine?
00:50.14Theory42
00:50.26Theoryexcept ofc, nobody writes jokes in base 13
00:50.30grepperDhraakellian: by 9 what ?
00:50.41nekois amarok meant to block everything else from using the sound system whilst the program is open (even if not playing)
00:50.43neko?
00:50.53Dhraakellianneko: depends
00:50.56canllaithinteresting
00:51.06canllaiththe psuedotransparency in kicker seems a little strange
00:51.10Dhraakellianif you're using alsa and a system capable of hardware mixing, no
00:51.16Dhraakellianotherwise...
00:51.23Dhraakellianit can get a tad tricky
00:51.40nekoi should be on ALSA
00:52.09nekodunno what my sound card's capabilities are though
00:54.08canllaithSome applications 'lock' the sound card device even when they are not actually playing.
00:54.15canllaithIt's a bit of a naughty design.
00:54.46aseigos,seems a little strange,is a complete hack,
00:54.55Dhraakellianneko: if you're using arts, you can set it to deactivate after a certain period of inactivity
00:55.16Dhraakelliankcontrol > sound & multimedia > sound system
00:55.23canllaith:) aseigo, my favourite midget. What timing.
00:55.24amaroK&:-)
00:55.27canllaithKicker just crashed. As usual.
00:55.30canllaithI think it can hear you coming.
00:55.43aseigoit's just a cry for help, not an actual crash
00:55.57canllaithReally, I'm beating it and making it do my laundry. You didn't hear that from me though.

00:56.01nekoit's ticked and set to suspend after 1sec
00:56.19aseigocanllaith: are you using HEAD or sti? i can never remember
00:56.22nekoso amarok isn't playing nicely by the looks of it
00:56.24canllaithHEAD
00:56.43Dhraakellianneko: are you using arts in amarok?
00:56.49canllaithaseigo: It's always appletproxy
00:56.52canllaithOur friend.
00:56.55canllaithThat we love so much.
00:57.04aseigocanllaith: really... bt?
00:57.12Dhraakellianyou could try gstreamer with alsasink
00:57.16Dhraakelliansee if that works
00:57.20canllaithNot that time. I'll try and reproduce it in a sec :)
00:57.23nekoah, it was set to use xine
00:57.42canllaithActually it's behaving really strangely
00:58.04canllaithI just flicked over to a twinview setup and set kicker to go over only one screen and a few fiddly things
00:58.13canllaithand now it looks.... actually I'll screenshot it.
00:59.01nekothat's better
00:59.10canllaithDo I want to be running sti instead, do you think?
00:59.34nekoif that works, i guess other things will
00:59.40Oleg_so what's in store for kde 3.4?
01:00.12DhraakellianOleg_: stuff
01:00.13Dhraakellian!;)

01:12.39turdfergussontext x=50 y=1 sensor=program program="echo ${USER}@`hostname`" color=0,0,0 fontsize=14 font="Cure"
01:12.56turdfergussonthe color=0,0,0 is what I need to change I believe
01:15.44Dhraakellianmy guess is that it would be FF,FF,FF
01:16.03Dhraakellianor 256,256,256, if it's not using hex
01:16.22DhraakellianI wouldn't really know
