oiaohmschestowitz: what distribution.Nov 13 14:19
schestowitzFedoraNov 13 14:19
oiaohmRight.Nov 13 14:19
schestowitzI didn't try hard to solve itNov 13 14:19
schestowitzCause it's not for meNov 13 14:19
schestowitzSo I put plasma-netbook as defaultNov 13 14:19
schestowitzOne time I managed to run plasma-desktop againNov 13 14:20
oiaohmCheck that python is working.Nov 13 14:20
schestowitzI want to jump back to plasma-desktop defaultNov 13 14:20
schestowitzmv ~settings_dir ~settings_dir_oldNov 13 14:20
oiaohmI have had fedora plasma desktop installedNov 13 14:20
schestowitzwhy python?Nov 13 14:20
oiaohmNot working and its turned out that python was dead.Nov 13 14:20
schestowitzI just want plasma resorted in some firmNov 13 14:20
schestowitzI just want plasma resorted in some formNov 13 14:20
oiaohmplasma desktop contains some python scripts.Nov 13 14:21
schestowitzI didn't read the errorNov 13 14:21
oiaohmThat must run.Nov 13 14:21
schestowitzWas in a hurry, just trying to get someone going with LinuxNov 13 14:21
oiaohmIf they don't run it can die and become like a log out.Nov 13 14:21
oiaohmOr worse.Nov 13 14:21
schestowitzoiaohm: where are plasma settings?Nov 13 14:21
schestowitzI did look up on google a couple of time, lost patienceNov 13 14:21
oiaohmThis what I am refering to is not plasma settingsNov 13 14:21
oiaohmBut engine.Nov 13 14:21
schestowitzI hadn't updated by thenNov 13 14:21
schestowitzOnly later I updated packages thinking this might resolve through kde patchedNov 13 14:22
schestowitzIt did notNov 13 14:22
schestowitzIn fact, I think it only worked two logins before something brokeNov 13 14:22
schestowitzAnd I hadn't yet enabled desktop effects (GPU)Nov 13 14:22
schestowitzSo it's not thatNov 13 14:22
schestowitzI maybe added some widgetsNov 13 14:22
oiaohm~/.kde/share/config   That is where it is on debian.Nov 13 14:24
oiaohmfiles starting with plasmaNov 13 14:24
schestowitzahhhNov 13 14:24
schestowitzI'll try to have a fallback by changing their namesNov 13 14:24
schestowitzIf I mess up, I can create new user accountNov 13 14:24
oiaohmIf it don't work with a clean user.Nov 13 14:24
oiaohmIe new userNov 13 14:25
oiaohmI would guess python is shot again.Nov 13 14:25
schestowitzI might first try new userNov 13 14:25
schestowitzClean profileNov 13 14:25
schestowitzJust to ensure it's not plasma itself brokenNov 13 14:25
oiaohmWould be wiseNov 13 14:25
schestowitzI had to customise a lotNov 13 14:26
oiaohmNothing worse than editing config files only to find out the software is stuffed.Nov 13 14:26
schestowitzWireless setup, autologin...Nov 13 14:26
schestowitzoiaohm: software was okNov 13 14:26
schestowitzfor an hourNov 13 14:26
schestowitzno patches arrivesNov 13 14:26
schestowitzno patches arrivedNov 13 14:26
oiaohmEven so.Nov 13 14:26
schestowitzAnd then it stopped working, except one time (can't recall how/why)Nov 13 14:26
oiaohmI know secuirty settings of fedora have things like threat detetion.Nov 13 14:27
schestowitzAnyway, was in a hurry to get back and post new... also doing another episode todayNov 13 14:27

qu1j0t3in a sense they are already winning, comparatively. for the reason he said it.Nov 13 16:11
qu1j0t3because they're resource based economies. so they can do well, for a while.Nov 13 16:12
