[00:46] <bitemeoftn> i have a quick question about kubuntu 14.10 and the dell m4600......when i shut the lid it goes to sleep, but when i open the lid again all i get is a mouse cursor and maybe some weird artifacting on the screen
[00:46] <bitemeoftn> any suggestions on how to fix it?
[01:36] <keithzg> bitemeoftn: Hmmm. Seems like the screen locker is failing somehow, or the graphics drivers are wonky. What GPU and drivers are you running in that thing?
[01:37] <bitemeoftn> it's an nvidia quadro 1000m GPU, checking the driver settings now
[01:38] <bitemeoftn> using the recommended 331.113 nvidia driver
[01:48] <keithzg> bitemeoftn: You could try disabling screen locking (System Settings -> Power Management -> Advanced Settings -> Lock screen on resume  [checkbox]) and see if that helps. It should if my guess of some bad combo of your drivers and screen locking is correct.
[01:53] <bitemeoftn> i tried that, but i got the same results.....i'm thinking it's something with the card/drivers as well
[01:58] <bitemeoftn> keithzg: i'm able to use CTRL+ALT+F1 to login and sudo restart lightdm as a workaround for now
[01:59] <keithzg> bitemeoftn: Fair enough. Have you tried nouveau instead of the nvidia drivers? (I know it's the obvious suggestion and there are probably reasons why you're running the binary blobs, but I figured it was worth bringing up)
[02:00] <bitemeoftn> keithzg: i do have apprehensions of using the nouveau driver, but i was actually just thinking about trying that
[02:01] <keithzg> bitemeoftn: For older cards, it can often be a fair bit better, actually. If not always performance, at least in terms of stability. Definitely worth a try, at least.
[02:03] <bitemeoftn> keithzg: lol the laptop doesn't want to use it either apparently......i've tried to switch it a few times now and it keeps going back to the nvidia driver
[02:05] <bitemeoftn> brb, i'm going to try rebooting to see if it'll take then
[02:05] <keithzg> Yeah it'll take at least a reboot (or manual loading/unloading)
[02:09] <bitemeoftn> that seems to have fixed it!
[02:09] <keithzg> bitemeoftn: nice!
[02:10] <bitemeoftn> that seems to have fixed it!
[02:13] <bitemeoftn> not sure why i typed that twice
[02:28] <keithzg> heh
[02:28] <keithzg> heh
[02:28] <keithzg> ;)
[04:36] <mcc> Hello, I am trying to install the Kubuntu 15.04 beta. This is my first time installing a Kubuntu. I have two questions.
[04:36] <mcc> My first question, if I encounter documentable bugs while going through the installer & such (as it is a tech preview), do you have any advice on the proper avenue for filing bug reports.
[04:37] <mcc> My second question, I am in the installer. I am installing Kubuntu onto a drive which already posesses an install of Windows 8.1. It says at the bottom: Boot loader: Device for boot loader installation: and it is defaulting to /dev/sda1, where i think the windows recovery partition is.
[04:37] <mcc> What exactly does "boot loader installation" do? Would I be correct in thinking that installing this on any Microsoft-created partition would be disastrous?
[04:41] <valorie> mcc: the best way, hands down, to file bugs is `ubuntu-bug packagename` in the cli
[04:42] <valorie> about your Windows partition question, sorry, do not know
[04:42] <mcc> valorie, great. what would packagename be for the installer?
[04:43] <valorie> hmmm
[04:44] <mcc> it seems like there must be a bug tracker website somewhere that stuff like ubuntu-bug funnels into.
[04:45] <valorie> right, that is launchpad
[04:45] <valorie> I know that there is a name, I just can't recall it
[04:46] <mcc> ok.
[04:46] <valorie> !info bootloader
[04:47] <valorie> of course
[04:47] <valorie> !boot
[04:48] <valorie> hmmm
[04:48] <mcc> well, the bootloader isn't what i want to file the bug on
[04:48] <valorie> right
[04:48] <mcc> i found just some simple gui bugs on the "prepare partitions" pane in the livecd installer.
[04:48] <mcc> ah
[04:48] <valorie> excellent, the beta is for filing bugs
[04:50] <valorie> this might be useful: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[04:53] <mcc> oh, interesting
[05:31] <mcc> By the way, i'm a little confused about the relationship between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.
[05:32] <mcc> For example, the FAQ for this channel redirects to the Ubuntu website, and the iso tracker you sent me is for Kubuntu not Ubuntu.
[05:39] <valorie> Kubuntu is one of the flavors of Ubuntu
[05:40] <valorie> it gets a bit confusing because they call the unity flavor Ubuntu
[05:40] <valorie> however the Ubuntu community encompasses us all, xubuntu, lubuntu, gnomebuntu
[05:40] <valorie> we were first however
[05:41] <valorie> this is the tenth anniversary for Kubuntu, and we are entirely community produced
[05:41] <Unit193> I tend to call that one 'Mainbuntu'
[05:42] <valorie> ubuntu runs the iso tracker for all the releases
[05:42] <Unit193> And, you know, the repos, cdimage building, automated testing, etc, etc. :P
[05:44] <valorie> right, our infra (except our website) is all from ubuntu
[05:51] <mcc> that's all very helpful.
[05:52] <mcc> thank you for the help! i have some interesting bug reports and will try to get them on the iso tracker tomorrow.
[05:53] <mcc> Here is my favorite bug I encountered, by the way, if you're curious... :) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAb5zjtUkAAtbI2.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAb6RzeUYAIpOP4.jpg
[05:54] <valorie> ha, I've seen that but never reported it
[05:55] <mcc> well, i'll try to report it tomorrow
[05:55] <valorie> excellent, thank you
[05:55] <mcc> while i have your attention, if i'm hitting that problem, how should i reboot/shut down in such a way it kicks me back to GRUB?
[05:55] <mcc> when i tried reboot or shutdown -h now, it kicked me back to the kubuntu startup, not to GRUB.
[05:57] <mcc> actually, i think i'm falling asleep, so if you respond to that i will not see your response ^_^ thanks again for the help, goodnight
[06:45] <donniezazen> Why there no option to disable Connection Activated/Deactivated in Network Notifications Kubuntu?
[06:56] <valorie> donniezazen: ?
[06:57] <valorie> can you say more what you mean, and exactly what you are using?
[06:59] <donniezazen> valorie: Those are the exact terms but let me explain. When you lose connection, you get notified via a pop and an entry labeled Connection Deactivated. When you connect to a network you again get Connection Activate. These entries are missing in Kubuntu.
[06:59] <valorie> hmm, I see those
[07:00] <valorie> I did in 14.10 with and without the next ppa
[07:00] <valorie> I see it now in Vivid
[07:00] <donniezazen> valorie: http://i.imgur.com/eja7sms.png
[07:00] <donniezazen> Then probably a bug in LTS.
[07:01] <valorie> I guess
[07:04] <donniezazen> Both Qt-creator and Chrome suffer from graphical glitches. http://imgur.com/8uJB1Gm and http://imgur.com/psoHGqn
[07:04] <donniezazen> on the LTS version.
[07:05] <valorie> sounds like a driver problem
[07:08] <donniezazen> maybe
[07:15] <soee> good morning
[08:43] <rawi> Hi everybody
[08:44] <rawi> I'm at the moment on Kubuntu 14.04, plasma4. Will it be enough a distribution update to get plasma5?
[08:44] <hateball> rawi: No
[08:45] <rawi> hateball: thanks! so I'd need an install from scratch for the next Kubuntu, yes?
[08:46] <hateball> rawi: No, you can just do-release-upgrade
[08:46] <hateball> Depending on how you want to go about things, you can upgrade to 14.10, then to 15.04
[08:46] <hateball> or wait for the next LTS which will be 16.04
[08:46] <rawi> that's what I meand first. but then I would stay with plasma4?
[08:47] <hateball> rawi: Plasma 5 will be default in 15.04
[08:47] <hateball> I'm not sure if there's a PPA for 14.04 that has all the KF/Plasma 5 stuff
[08:47] <rawi> hateball: OK, then do-release-upgrade will be enough. thanks
[09:59] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:11] <rawi> Hi folks

[11:00] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:43] <Jiyuhen> Morning BluesKaj
[12:08] <kubuntu64> hello all
[13:15] <bosco> Hello
[13:16] <lordievader> o/
[13:43] <archetech> latest  vivid update breaks the  start button menus
[13:44] <archetech> opens but cant navigate/start anything
[13:52] <mparillo> archetech: Same for me. When I apt update, it seems as if it cannot resolve some sources. I hope that is the root cause.
[13:55] <archetech> use the cmd line not muon
[15:09] <georgelappies> Hi all
[15:10] <georgelappies> when will 4.14.3 be ported to 14.04?
[15:11] <ikonia> 4.14 of what ?
[15:12] <Riddell> georgelappies: no current plans, we're too busy with plasma 5
[15:12] <georgelappies> aah, ok. see the blog post. Plasma 5 is looking sweet :)
[15:12] <georgelappies> saw I meant
[15:13] <georgelappies> so, Kubuntu 15.04 with Plasma 5 will be full on ready for everyday usage?
[15:38] <drdozer> hi - I'm trying out plasma5
[15:39] <drdozer> when I go to computer -> home, it loads up my home directory in Gwnview. I want a file browser, like dolphin or something
[15:39] <drdozer> am I doing somethig wrong?
[15:56] <Guest8103> Just installed Kubuntu Plasma 5.14 - Feels good :)
[16:38] <yossarianuk> drdozer: kde4.x used to do that also .
[16:39] <yossarianuk> sounds like you need to change the file manager app ?
[17:05] <phoenix_firebrd> anyone testing kubuntu 15.04?
[17:06] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: do you have 15.04?
[17:06] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yes
[17:06] <phoenix_firebrd> can you check if the "add to places" works?
[17:07] <phoenix_firebrd> in dolphin
[17:08] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, it doesn't on my laptop with 15.04, I haven't tried on this desktop ...let me check
[17:08] <phoenix_firebrd> ok
[17:11] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, nope, doesn't work here either
[17:12] <phoenix_firebrd> ok thanks
[17:12] <BluesKaj> np
[17:13] <BluesKaj> no biggie for network folders , they're still listed in "Network"
[17:17] <phoenix_firebrd> ya
[17:19] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: do you have any other daily build of kde distro?
[17:21] <BluesKaj> no just kubuntu
[17:21] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd,^
[17:21] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: I have to find if the "places" bug in dolphin is upsteam or downstream. ok
[17:22] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: I am going to download a suse daily build iso, tell me which one from this page
[17:22] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/
[17:22] <phoenix_firebrd> need i386
[17:23] <BluesKaj> I have no room for another OS atm
[17:23] <phoenix_firebrd> No its for me
[17:23] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj:  for checking the bug
[17:24] <phoenix_firebrd> this one openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-i686-Current.iso     or     this   openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-i686-Snapshot20150316-Media.iso       ?
[17:25] <phoenix_firebrd> both same?
[18:32] <Guest76799> Anyone running the new Vivid release?
[18:33] <lordievader> Guest76799: From time to time, yes.
[18:33] <ahoneybun> Guest76799: I'm on the Beta
[18:34] <Guest76799> How is it working? I'm upgrading to it now... Anything major bugs to know about?
[18:34] <ahoneybun> sddm and systemd are a bit off
[18:34] <ahoneybun> sddm keeps getting disabled
[18:35] <Guest76799> is there anyway to revert back to Plasma 4?
[18:35] <Guest76799> Afterwards?
[18:35] <ahoneybun> um not sure
[18:35] <ahoneybun> other then a reinstall
[18:36] <ahoneybun> sudo systemctl enable sddm
[18:36] <ahoneybun> fixes it
[18:36] <lordievader> Guest76799: From Utopic? Did you have a plasma5 ppa enabled?
[18:37] <Guest76799> yes
[18:37] <lordievader> Guest76799: On both, or just the first?
[18:37] <Guest76799> just first, upgrading to vivid just now..
[18:38] <{shaman}> no
[18:38] <{shaman}> plasma 5 is working OK for me now
[18:38] <lordievader> Guest76799: Phew ;)
[18:38] <{shaman}> but I'm not as happy as KDE4 yet, it doesn't save window positions between reboots well
[18:38] <lordievader> Guest76799: Upgrading with a Plasma5 ppa enabled from Utopic breaks your install.
[18:39] <Guest76799> opps
[18:39] <Guest76799> well I guess we shall see :)
[18:39] <Guest76799> One of the joys of linux, problem solving
[18:39] <{shaman}> well, if you run alpha releases..... you can expect that
[18:40] <lordievader> {shaman}: The beta is not to blame, it is the ppa ;)
[18:40] <Guest76799> Gotta say though Plasma is really nice :) Once all the bugs are purged its going to be a sweet Desktop
[18:41] <BluesKaj> plasma is ok , not crazy about it, too many isssues unresolved
[18:42] <{shaman}> imho nothing else OS really compares
[18:42] <{shaman}> and i'm glad they did away with the app grouping
[18:43] <Fausty> I run linux on my laptops but after a fatal MBR crash on my main Desktop on the weekend I'm switching over for good, only going to boot Windows to play PC games that's all...
[18:44] <lordievader> Fausty: Do you happen to have multiple GPU's in your system?
[18:46] <Fausty> no just one AMD R9 280x
[18:47] <lordievader> Fausty: Too bad, else you could virtualize Windows, give it a gpu and have a gaming vm. No more reboots to game ;)
[18:47] <Fausty> hmm interesting idea... very interesting indeed...
[18:48] <Fausty> gotta step out for a bit... brb
[19:43] <angubenko> !help

[21:49] <lordievader> tnkhanh: Because his message started with a space.
[21:50] <tnkhanh> anyone use kubuntu on virtual box?

[22:54] <tnkhanh> ah not very close
[22:54] <tnkhanh> I want to install Guest Additions
[23:03] <mparillo> tnkhanh: I assume you have tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/GuestAdditions and http://askubuntu.com/questions/22743/how-do-i-install-guest-additions-in-a-virtualbox-vm
[23:04] <mparillo> But, that is about all the help I can provide.
