keithzgEither way, I'd be interested to hear how thing behave once you've uninstalled the NVIDIA drivers.00:03
tootheI noticed that when I type in something into my KDE start button, I get random internet searches for pages I"ve never been to. Why is that? HOw do I disable that?00:06
toothelet me take that back, some of these are pages I visited months ago.00:06
MobilRoeyah00:08
MobilRoeyhey toothe00:08
tootheHiya!00:09
MobilRoeyI actually have to get going, but there are others here who surely know00:09
MobilRoey:)00:09
ussher_I've just recently upgraded to 14.04.  lightdm was screwed up, so i purged it and installed kdm.  kdm doesn't start at boot, i need to login then do00:13
ussher_sudo kdm to get going.00:14
ussher_how do you make it start automatically?  Ive seen a few different howto's but none seam to line up with kubuntu.00:14
valorie!lightdm00:16
valoriepfff00:16
MobilRoeyseriously00:17
valoriethat's a bit messed up00:17
MobilRoeystuff screws up - EVERy.SINGLE.TIME I upgrade00:17
ussher_lightdm's resolution is all screwed up00:17
valoriedo you have sddm installed?00:17
MobilRoeyI groan when I think about upgrading00:17
MobilRoeybecause something invariably screws up no matter how stock-install I try and make it00:17
valorieMobilRoey: my upgrades are usually completely great00:17
ussher_i dont have ssdm installed00:17
* MobilRoey fumes :P00:17
MobilRoeyrightgt now I am on my laptop00:18
MobilRoeyas my system is not responsive when I start x00:18
valorieme too, that's my only computer00:18
valorie:-)00:18
MobilRoeyI wish I could have your luck, Valorie :)00:18
valorieussher_: kdm hasn't been stock Kubuntu for a long time, so I guess asking in #kde would be more productive00:18
valorieit is old, and SDDM is the future for us00:19
valorieI guess the rest of Ubuntu will continue with LightDM00:19
ussher_for me i got sort of a login screen that worked with lightdm, but the box would flicker and there was no writing.  I lived with it for a few days, but it got annyoing this morning00:19
valoriebut for various reasons we can't/won't do that00:19
MobilRoeyanyway, Valorie, bbl! going to a candlelight vigil in front of the White House for the victims of this morning's massacre in Jerusalem00:20
valorieunsure how to help here; lightdm worked until I moved to SDDM when I upgraded to Plasma 5 in 14.1000:20
ussher_I was on 12.04 LTS so i guess kdm was stock back then, it looks familiar enough.00:21
valoriebye MobilRoey00:21

ubottulightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1.12.1-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 114 kB, installed size 604 kB00:21
valorieussher_: afaik we've been using lightdm for a long time00:22
valorieat least since 12.0400:22
valoriehowever, if you have done upgrades for a long time, perhaps you didn't have it00:22
ussher_i've been on kubuntu since before that so maybe thats why.  Looking into SDDM (simple desktop display manager) now.  Not particually in love with kdm, but it works.  if sddm works too, thats fine.00:23
valorieussher_: I wouldn't advise switching to SDDM just now00:29
valorieafaik it is waiting to be put into the archive00:30
ussher_ah.00:30
valorieI got it from ppa next00:30
valorieso wait a week00:30
ussher_ok, back to the first plan.00:30
ussher_get kdm to start at startup.  I'll ask in #kde00:30
ussher_thanks for all your help valorie00:30
valorieexcellent00:30
valorieyw00:30
tootheI noticed that when I search for things in the KDE start menu, I get google hits for things I searched for months ago.00:34
tootheI thought it was only suposed to search for local files?00:34
keithzgussher_: have you tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm"?00:34
ussher_I did that to change to kdm during the install of it.  I can try again.00:35
ussher_yeah, its just the same option, "choose kdm" then OK.00:36
throdonhas anyone used awesom wm with or without KDE/Kwin00:36
ussher_thanks for the idea keithzg00:36
keithzgHmm, alright. ussher_, I'd try shutting down the KDM instance that you've started manually, then from a VT try "sudo service kdm start" and see what it does.00:37
keithzgThat should start it the same way it's in theory *trying* to start it, so you might get some useful errror messages back.00:37
ussher_i'll give it a go.  I'll come back once i do.  Im on the pc its needed on here, so gone for a bit.00:38
keithzgFair enough00:38
ussher_no love keithzg.  still the same.  But now im looking for "how to start a service at startup" instead, so that might be more fruitful.  Thanks for the idea.00:47
keithzgussher_: Yeah, if all goes according to plan it should be started by the default installed upstart service for kdm. Clearly something is going wrong somewhere along that path.00:48

valorieat least I've not had a problem with the actual applications freezing08:13
mokushvalorie: it's just the apps. these two. I can force close them, then open them again. I belive it's caused by kio_file, since they both seem to be using it08:13

lordievaderErr, the Kubuntu next doesn't have a Kate package?08:28
mokushthis is even weirder. so, I uninstalled it, but not I can't reinstall it because of the `unmet dependencies` issue.08:28

lordievaderHehe, not very surprising.08:32
lordievaderWasn't the Kubuntu Next ppa EOL?08:32
mokushlordievader: is there any way I can work around it?08:32
valorieno, that is neon that is gone08:33
lordievaderHmm, because this is a difficult pickle.08:33
lordievaderThe packages from the ppa prevent the installation of kate, as that version is older...08:33
valoriemokush: does `sudo apt install -f` help?08:34
mokushvalorie: nope, same thing.08:34
valorie:(08:35
mokushlordievader: well, this sucks. so the version from the next ppa is older?08:35
mokushI see that that I have two packages installed now `katepart` and `ktexteditor-katepart`. the `katepart` one seems to have no origin08:36
lordievadermokush: No the problem is that Kate is not provided in the Kubuntu Next ppa. So you have it's dependencies at a .2 version while the Kate from the archive depends on .1 versions. (or something along those line)08:36
lordievadermokush: Perhaps poking around in #kubuntu-devel works, let's see if I get a reply ;)08:39
mokushlordievader: I see here there are newer packages in the main ppa, rather than the /next ppa? https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/next08:45
mokushif I would just remove the next ppa, wouldn't that fix it?08:45
lordievadermokush: What main ppa do you mean?08:46
valoriethe next ppa is what gives you plasma 508:47
valorieif you remove it, I don't know what will happen08:47
valorieunless you want to reinstall 14.10 without plasma 508:48
lordievaderIf you remove it you go back to Plasma 408:48
mokushin the link I pasted, some of the packages have a ` (Newer version available)` link. doesn't that refer to the main utopic packages?08:48
lordievaderThat refers to the source of those packages.08:49
valorielordievader: maybe.....08:52
valoriecould be a mess though08:52
lordievaderIt likely would be ;)08:53
luffarvantehey, i recently switched to kubuntu from arch and have been trying to install a few applications (factorio and tekkit launcher primarily). Im aware i could just download and add them manually but is there any avaliable repository with them in? In arch i just got them from the AUR09:23
lordievaderluffarvante: Usually we get things from the Ubuntu repo. However I don't seem to find packages for the software you mentioned. It might be that they are named differently.09:25
luffarvanteyeah, i have been looking around there and done some googling, but with no results09:26
luffarvanteif i understood it right i managed to add universe which seems to be ubuntus counterpart to arch's AUR but nothing there eigther09:27
lordievaderIf I understand AUR correctly then your statement is incorrect ;)09:28
denysoniqueluffarvante: the AUR of Ubuntu is called PPA09:28
