naftilos76Hi, is there a dolphin plugin that lets me compress folders/files with a password?19:19
naftilos76I am on 14.0419:19
nicon`Hi all.20:04
nicon`I was using for a long time plasma5, but it stopped working (hangs during 'loading screen' after login), I decided to go back to plasma4. I reinstalled some packages, but I'm sure it's not installed completely.20:05
nicon`Can someone help me with giving packages names to install plasma4/kde4 full?20:05
nicon`Or maybe someone knows how to fix plasma5? :-)20:06
nicon`Previously removing .kde directory helped - but after my last upgrade (which I did today) it stopped helping.20:06

valorienicon`: can you say more about what the problem was?22:36
valorieremoving .kde was never a good solution; sometimes moving it was22:36
nicon`valorie: like I said, I was unable to login to plasma 5 desktop.23:07
nicon`It's hanging on login screen.23:07
nicon`So I wanted to install kde4 with plasma4.23:08
valorieso, did you say that you wanted to use SDDM when asked?23:08
nicon`I tried sddm and lightdm.23:08
nicon`It was working same way on both.23:08
valoriemy guess is that you are encountering the problem I had23:08
valoriewhich is that they seemed to be interfering with one another23:08
nicon`But I think you misunderstund 'loading screen'.23:08
nicon`By loading screen I mean the one after dm (after login).23:09
valorieI had to purge lightdm and kdm both for sddm to work correctly23:09
nicon`sddm/lightdm are working corectly.23:09
nicon`Loading screen is after logining.23:09
nicon`It's not exactly hanging - all programs are running fine - just I can't see them and my desktop - instead I can see only loading screen.23:10
valorieis this on 14.10?23:11
nicon`valorie: yes.23:15
valorieso you were using the next ppa to get plasma 5?23:16
nicon`valorie: exactly.23:26
nicon`Or...23:26
nicon`In fact I was using just kubuntu cd with plasma55.23:26
nicon`plasma5*23:26
valorieoh, hmmm23:26
nicon`I installed it when it was released.23:26
nicon`I was using for couple weeks.23:26
nicon`And sometimes I had same problems.23:26
nicon`But moving .kde directory helped.23:27
valorieand update and full-upgrade doesn't solve the problems?23:27
nicon`After upgrading OS yesterday even moving .kde stopped helping.23:27
nicon`Yeah, it doesn't.23:27
valorieand you used full-upgrade, not dist-upgrade?23:27
nicon`I removed plasma at all and reinstalled it with instructions from kubuntu.org (so with full-upgrade), no help.23:27
valorieas the command23:27
nicon`Yes.23:27
valorieok23:28
nicon`I used full-upgrade.23:28
valoriehmmm23:28
valorienext try `sudo apt install -f`23:28
valorielet's see if something got hosed in the install23:28
nicon`Nothing.23:29
valorieok, next try logging into a new user23:29
valorieif it is a config problem, a new user will be fine23:29
nicon`Tried it already.23:30
nicon`Didn't helped.23:30
nicon`Previously it did (about a week ago).23:30
valorieso now you know something is fundamentally more broken, which you already suspected23:32
valorieso perhaps it is time to try purging the PPA23:32
valorie!ppa-purge23:32
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html23:32
nicon`Yeah, I tried this as well today :-D23:33
valoriewith no luck?23:33
valorie:(23:33
nicon`No luck at all.23:33
valoriewell, there are people who know much more than I do, and could perhaps help23:33
valoriehowever, they are either asleep or in transit23:34
valorieotoh, if your only other option is to re-install, you might try upgrading to Vivid23:34
nicon`Sure.23:35
valorieit can hardly be *more* broken23:35
nicon`For this moment I installed ubuntu-desktop.23:35
nicon`And it's ugly :-)23:35
nicon`But at least working.23:35
valorieheh23:35
valorieI've not done this yet, but here is the info I have: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-vivid-alpha-123:36
nicon`Is there a way to upgrade it instead of install?23:37
nicon`Okay, found it.23:37
valorieI've been thinking of upgrading just to test, because I've heard two good reports so far23:37
valorieyes23:37
nicon`Will try, thanks.23:37
valorieplease report your success or failure - I'd be very interested23:38
nicon`Where can I send report? Or should I just send update to you here?23:39
nicon`extras repo doesn't work :-)23:42
valorieextras?23:44
valorienot sure what you mean23:44
valorieand just report success/failure here, unless there are actual bugs to file23:45
valoriewe need those bugs filed of course23:45
nicon`there's no http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu for vivid.23:46
nicon`But distro-upgrade was trying to enable it.23:46
valoriethat is certainly worth reporting, yes23:50
valorieit shouldn't be calling for/looking for something that has not yet been created23:50
valorienicon`: do you have a login here yet? http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/328/builds23:52
valorieif so, it would be good to report there, and also link bug reports there23:52
