[00:34] 674003349 [00:57] So I installed GUFW to manage my firewall and when I try to open it, it shows in the task bar with a spinning loading animation where the icon would be, then it just closes, never opens === kubuntu is now known as Guest14357 [03:49] my desktop won't cube when I click my desktop pager [04:03] basheba: have you made sure you have the cube animation enabled in settings? [04:03] yes [04:03] desktop cube does not work for me, either, in kubuntu 15.04, using intel/i915 [04:06] I might just put compiz on it but I'd hate to lose my qtcurve [04:06] can I do both compiz and qtcurve? [04:20] basheba: the settings for effects have conflicting options that don't warn you. if you have another option marked, it may supercede the cube one, and so do that instead [04:23] it didn't. It just keeps telling me desktop cube could not be started [04:29] oic JMichaelX so it's all kde desktops I assume [04:34] graphics driver issue, maybe [06:34] hello [07:31] The energy consumption stuff is nice to have in Plasma 5.3, but it's clear to me that plasma itself uses the most battery. My load when showing the desktop only is 1.9. A bit on the heavy side. CPU time goes to plasmashell and sddm. [07:35] sddm! [07:35] odd that it would use anything [07:36] aside from startup and shutdown [07:36] for me plasmashell has a bug, it's fine on first boot but after a while it and Xorg will hit 20% cpu each. [07:37] then the animations will get a bit laggy. [07:37] please file a bug, MoonUnit` [07:37] or look for one already files [07:37] filed [07:39] i've looked before, seems to be a constant problem going back years, fixed then broken, fixed then broken. [07:39] which seems to indicate it is a difficult problem [07:41] It's not actually slow on my hardware, but the fan of my notebook is blowing harder than usual. It goes silent when I log out of KDE. [07:53] i'll have another go a figuring out thunderbird today, switched to chromium yesterday, every app clicking a link will open chromium except for thunderbird. tried forcing it in user.js and about:config settings. [07:53] might try a fresh profile and see what it does. [07:53] using kmail until i figure it out. [07:55] I like kmail so much, but it isn't working for me now [07:55] I don't like tbird, so the fallback is gmail here [07:56] avatar [08:13] hello everyone [08:13] could anyone please help me? :/ [08:15] hello? [08:15] stockfish: what's the problem? [08:15] Thank you for answering me valorie [08:15] usually people won't speak up unless they know what the question or problem is [08:16] first i should tell that im new to kubuntu and im very very impressed by that, [08:16] this is the first time im using a linux os [08:16] oh very nice! [08:16] i really like it but my problem is, [08:17] i customized my desktop, but whenever i restart my laptop everything i desinged blows up :( [08:17] like wallpaper, folders etc everything [08:18] blows up? [08:18] i mean everything reverse to default [08:18] let's start at the beginning: what version of kubuntu did you install? [08:18] just like i designed nothing [08:19] i have kubuntu . [08:19] 15.04 [08:19] i saw that its the latest so i installed it [08:20] excellent [08:20] so how did you customize? [08:20] for instance, how did you get different wallpaper? [08:21] can you describe what you did, if you remember? [08:21] for example, i clicked on folder settings, [08:22] i downloaded new wallpaper [08:22] and then i apllied the new one [08:22] its there but after restart system changes the wallpaper back to default [08:22] so far, so good [08:22] hmmm [08:22] and another thing [08:22] that is very odd [08:23] normally system doesnt show folder type [08:23] its desktop style [08:23] in systemsettings, you can ask the system to save your session, and restore it [08:23] that might help [08:23] i have to switch to folder type, have to set up wallpaper again etc [08:23] hmm please let me check [08:24] I switched to slideshow on my desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, and configuring it there [08:24] works just fine [08:25] it works for me too but it changes after restart ;) [08:25] i opened it under which i can save the session? [08:25] appearance, workspace etc? [08:26] startup and shutdown I think [08:26] at the bottom [08:27] I always "restore previous session" [08:27] but then I usually shut down applications [08:28] it was on RPS [08:28] i changed it to RMSS [08:28] i hope it helps ;) [08:29] ill restart and check if it helps ok? [08:29] sure [08:29] you don't have to restart though [08:29] just log out and back in [08:29] oh ok [08:29] brb :) [08:31] it didnt help, [08:31] :( [08:31] it changed back from folder style to desktop style [08:31] and wallpaper is gone again :/ [08:32] i mean default wallpapaer comes back [08:32] Buongiorno! [08:32] so manually saved session means you have to right-click and manually save the session [08:32] restore should be automatic [08:33] for some reason, your sessions and settings aren't properly being saved [08:33] any idea how can i fix it? ;) [08:33] i have another tiny weird problem too [08:34] when i restart my web browser becomes open and minimized, [08:34] when i click it to maximize, [08:35] the browser is being throwed to out of the screen *.* [08:35] seriously [08:35] well, if it is a permissions problem, you could chown -R username folder/ [08:35] it goes out of the screen right side [08:36] in other words, in a console, type: chown -R ~/home [08:36] i close it and i re-open the browser then it corrects itself [08:36] that will fix the permissions in your home folder [08:36] ok im trying now [08:37] that is very strange, as it means that the browser thinks your screen is larger than it actually is [08:37] but it doesnt show any part of its [08:38] its completely goes the right side [08:38] i think it thinks that the screen is there [08:38] does it help if you restore the size, and resize to less than maximum? [08:39] i havent tried it, and dont know how to either :) [08:39] I personally hate maximized windows [08:39] they bug me [08:39] so there is the close symbol, maximize, and restore [08:39] err, max or min [08:39] chown: missing operand after /home/username/home [08:40] what is your home called? [08:41] its --> /home [08:41] it said /home/stockfish/home [08:41] st. is my user name [08:41] you might need to use eg /home/valorie [08:41] home shouldn't be in there twice [08:42] if it really is, that is your problem [08:42] because that means kubuntu doesn't know where to find your settings [08:43] it said ----> chown: missing operand after /home/stockfish/home [08:43] how can i fix my mistake? i dont know how i did it :) [08:43] Hey everyone [08:44] I'm trying to add a firewall rule with ufw gui [08:45] http://i.imgur.com/OfTrhxL.png [08:45] try again with chown -R /home/stockfish [08:45] ok [08:45] really, if you have a /home in your home, you have a problem [08:45] and then I get this http://imgur.com/vWO7QIF [08:45] no i dont want it [08:46] Mazhdee: I know nothing about ufw [08:46] why would i want it [08:46] beyond [08:46] !ufw [08:46] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:46] ubottu [08:46] I know, I'm using ufw-kde right now [08:46] i made a home inside the home by mistake? [08:47] still, those two pages will help you, Mazhdee [08:47] I want to allow all traffic through tun0 and it doesn't allow me to do that [08:47] stockfish_: if you did, move the files back where they belong [08:47] valorie, ok [08:47] and delete that folder [08:47] but move the stuff first [08:49] look, I think it's a bug, I just don't know why it wouldn't let you allow *any* traffic [08:49] basically it wants me to create a rule for a specific ip and a specific port but this is dumb since with any firewall you can add such non-specific rules [08:50] I can do it with iptables too, I even did it earlier in the morning, but I want to use ufw to be able to disable and re-enable the routes quickly [08:50] it is possible that it is buggy, for sure [08:50] when i enter home i dont see another home folder, i can see (desktop, documents, downloads, music, pictures, public, templates, videos) [08:50] (this is for forcing all my traffic through my vpn, but sometimes I need to disable my vpn and so the firewall rules) [08:51] try `ubuntu-bug ufw` to file one [08:51] in the cli [08:51] valorie, okay, many thanks [08:53] easiest/best way to file a bug [08:56] stockfish_: best of luck with your issues; please come back when there are more expert people helping out [08:56] * valorie is heading to bed [08:57] thanks a lot for your helps ;) [09:04] valorie : good night. [09:04] thanks to you [09:22] Good morning. [09:22] morning [09:29] Hey MoonUnit`, how are you? [09:31] lordievader: i'm fine, ty. [09:59] Since yesterday I am no longer able to enter Japanese input oon Kubuntu 15.04. It was working for many years. Does anybody know if yesterday something was changed? If I add the Japanese language in the locale settings the entire KDE GUI switched into Japanese after the next login, but I don't want that. I only want to be able to enter Japanese characters. Any idea? [10:01] xchatter: What ime are you using? [10:02] lordievader, what is "ime"? [10:02] xchatter: The piece of software that translates your latin keyboard to hiragana/katakana/kanji. [10:03] lordievader, I am not sure. Since yesterday it is gone. [10:03] I had installed it age ago so I am not up-to-date. [10:04] There is no more symbol in the panel. [10:04] xchatter: If you wait a bit, I'll try to install it on my vivid box. [10:04] * lordievader usually uses ibus + mozc [10:04] I think it was ibus, yes. Now as you mention it. [10:05] But I don't want the entire KDE interface to be Japanese, only be able to enter Japanese chars. [10:06] Could you provide me with the steps to (re)-install that, please? [10:06] xchatter: There is no need to use the Japanese local for everything ;) [10:06] xchatter: First need to figure out what works ;) [10:07] OK, I am listening. [10:08] My netboot is slow... :( [10:11] xchatter: Anyhow install mozc-ibus and ibus. [10:13] ibus is already newest version [10:13] E: Unable to locate package mozc-ibus [10:13] xchatter: Ah sorry, its ibus-mozc [10:17] I installed it. But how does it show up now? Can not see anything. [10:18] Something with ibus-setup, my box is still unpacking humanity-icon-theme. Having an nfs-root has its downsides. [10:20] OK, thx [10:20] I think I have to log out once. [10:20] CU [10:23] Hi there [10:23] o/ [10:23] why there's no 3G connection available in 15.04 anymore? [10:23] I'm plugging in my USB 3G modem, and nothing new appear [10:23] in the network applet [10:24] it was fine before, have a 15.04 clean install [10:24] Perhaps there is some package not installed? [10:24] might be, but wich are they? [10:26] No idea. [10:27] I ran ibus-setup and turned show icon on system tray. But it does not show. [10:27] xchatter: Is the ibus daemon running? [10:27] It says the keyboard shortcut is space. [10:27] What is ?? [10:28] How can I find out? [10:28] xchatter: Super is the windows key. [10:28] xchatter: ps aux|grep ibus [10:28] Yes, it is running. [10:29] xchatter: Do you have an icon in your system tray? [10:29] OK, windows and space brings up the anthy switch [10:29] No, no icon. [10:29] Logged out and back in. Still no icon. [10:30] Kubuntu 15.04 [10:30] xchatter: Then you are likly facing http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ [10:32] But it worked until yesterday. And I installed 15.04 when it came out (official release day). Strange. [10:33] Ok, but I think I can live with it. Pressing the windows key with space allows me to switch to hiragana. How about Kanji? [10:33] Ah ibus is instelled here. [10:34] xchatter: For that you really need to systray. === kubuntu is now known as Guest58204 [10:35] Is it possible to upgrade an existing installation of Kubuntu from the Live USB (I'm currently running in the live USB) [10:35] (Because it seems like that's possible in the Ubuntu installer) [10:36] ah nvm figured it out (cdromupgrade command) [10:36] Now it stopped working again. Windows+space and then clicking on JP does not do anything anymore. :( [10:36] xchatter: wmsystemtray shows ibus... but it is rather ugly. [10:36] *sigh" [10:37] ok [10:37] I am thinking, maybe I have to reboot? [10:37] xchatter: No start wmsystemtray: wmsystemtray --non-wmaker --bgcolor white [10:38] In Linux you rarely have to reboot. [10:44] could someone help me with nvidia driver problems (black screen on boot) on kubuntu 15.04, never had problems before but since my upgrade I keep getting a black screen after rebooting twice (1st time boot the driver works) [10:44] tried purging and reinstalling nvidia* [10:45] that's why i use trayer instead on wmsystemtray, you get more control, trayer --help http://paste.ubuntu.com/10976616/ [10:45] or could it be the microcode option? [10:45] MoonUnit`: Can that one be included in the panel? [10:46] lordievader: sadly no [10:46] That's too bad. [10:50] Hi everyone. I have finnally swithced to Kubuntu and Plasma 5. I have tried to setup microphone playthrough (for kareoke) But I get 0.5 seconds delay and echo effect on it by some reason. When recording without playback there is instant and no reverb/echo. [10:50] Anyone has an idea what could be wrong? [10:50] I use the following bash script to enable playback on microphone [10:51] set -e [10:51] module=$(pactl load-module module-loopback) [10:51] function cleanup { [10:51] pactl unload-module $module [10:51] } [10:51] trap cleanup EXIT [10:51] johan you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [11:01] I have the problem that when I log in under my user name then ibus is running but when my girlfriend logs in (she wants to use Japanese input) then under her user ibus daemon is not started. Any idea? [11:02] xchatter: Start another one? [11:03] She is not a Linux user at all. Not a technical person. [11:04] There must be a way that the daemon is started when she logs in so she can use ibus anythy. [11:04] Jup, start ibus-daemon through the kde autostart stuff. <- is somewhere in the systemsettings. [11:06] Would that be the service "input actions"? [11:07] Err no. In plasma4 its System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart [11:08] But I am on plasma 5 [11:08] 15.04 [11:09] On your path it only says "Desktop file, script file" [11:09] I know, but I do not know where the Autostart went to. [11:09] It is a background service [11:09] no? [11:10] xchatter: choose the desktop file. script file seems to not be working. [11:10] No. [11:10] But it can not be edited. [11:11] I can only add scripts [11:11] I will check this out under her user name. [11:11] Hold on. [11:13] In 15.04, 2 problems that are quite upsetting are double clicking on the title bar of any window no longer maximizes/restores it and bookmarks in dolphin disappear on every new start of dolphin [11:13] am I the only one to experience this? is there a solution? [11:15] min/max working for me, bookmarks problem is known. [11:15] MoonUnit`: I can use the titlebar buttons for max/restore but I can no longer double click the title bar to do that [11:16] can you double click the titlebar and get that behaviour? it works for you? [11:16] yes thats working fo me. [11:17] have my double click interval at 400msec. [11:19] What's the systemd/network-manager method of requesting a DHCPv6 address? [11:20] vbgunz: works for me too [11:21] hmm, let me see if I can change it [11:22] wow, none of my titlebar actions work [11:35] well, I found a bug on kde bugs and added to it, did find a workaround for the bookmarks [11:36] thanks fellas [11:40] I made a change to /etc/profile.d/kwin.sh and added export __GL_YIELD="USLEEP" to it then ran this -> kwin_x11 --replace and my double click on the titlebar maximize/restore works [11:52] How can I start ibus automatically? [11:54] Why is ibus started automaticall under my user (admin rights) but not started under another user (no admin rights)? [11:54] I use Kubuntu 15.04. [11:56] This solution does not work for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8528382 It does not start the ibus. [12:01] No, autostart in plasma5 is partly broken. Check 'kcmshell5 autostart' again. Your script entries will have disappeared. [12:04] I don't have anything in the autostart under my user name and still ibus runs. Why doesn't it run under another user? [12:06] How can I find out from what mechanism ibus is started under my user name? === max is now known as Guest4556 === kubuntu is now known as Guest83774 === sebastian is now known as VYCK [12:48] Hi guys, I installed kubuntu, everything works except one thing.I can't enter my encryption password on the splash menu, it doesn't react.But on the other hand entering encryption password from a recovery mode works like a miracle.Any help? [12:52] I'd try removing splash first. [12:53] aaand DHCPv6 is broken too. [12:53] Why is it when I install the latest nvidia drivers on ubuntu 15.04, everything works on the first boot, but on the second boot I get a black screen? [12:54] Hey, I got that the other way around. First boot, blank screen after grub. Second boot it works. Every time. I took out the card. [12:54] I'm on a laptop :) [12:56] I read somewhere you need to define the laptop dvi screen in the xorg.conf [12:56] but I can't find the site anymore :/ [12:57] is it dvi on a laptop? [12:59] Howdy all [13:01] LVDS isn't it on laptops? === zippy is now known as Guest24308 [13:04] MoonUnit`: trying to figureout what I should put in the screen section of the xorg.conf [13:05] jjeronimo, are you on kubuntu or ubuntu? [13:05] kubuntu [13:05] if you run xrandr from a terminal it should display the available connections. [13:06] jjeronimo, I saw your issue in #ubuntu, which nvidia gpu? [13:06] 970M [13:07] BluesKaj: geforce gtx 970M [13:11] jjeronimo, when booting can drop to a TTY/VT ? if so sudo apt-get install nvidia-346, then reboot [13:11] I did [13:12] and 149 [13:12] 349* [13:12] did you try the 340? [13:12] using the driver manager yes [13:13] jjeronimo, which driver does the manager recommend [13:13] then I got a black screen, tty'd, purged nvidia*, installed the edge ppa, installed 349 [13:13] rebooted, everyting works [13:14] rebooted again, black screen [13:17] strange right? :) [13:17] jjeronimo, ok what about the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ? Seems like your onlu option , and xedgers are worth using because new nidia updates will break their divers [13:17] correction xedgers are not worth using [13:18] ok [13:18] I have used the xedsgers and usually break within a few weeks [13:19] then I'll purge nvidia* again [13:19] n install 340 [13:19] but my problem will remain [13:24] jjeronimo, did the nouveau driver work ok after the OS installation ? if so you may need too use that for a while . [13:24] too=to [13:24] Didn't try nouveau yet [13:25] did you do-release-upgrade from 14.10? [13:25] yes I recently upgraded to 15.04 [13:26] or did you do a clean install? [13:28] if you did a clean install then the default driver was nouveau [13:28] ah ok, yes that worked [13:28] the default driver worked [13:28] I made a start up usb with kubuntu vivid but my computer wont load from usb at start up. What might be the problem ? i did change boot priority at boot menu but still nothing [13:29] then you need to make a decision, jjeronimo [13:29] nouveau is too slow, I wouldnt be able to watch netflix movies [13:30] krise your uefi/bios might need to secure boot disabled [13:30] to have [13:30] maybe I should downgrade to 14.10 [13:31] jjeronimo, are you sure about netflix not working ? [13:31] BluesKaj: yeah, flash is slow without hardware acceleration [13:32] odd nouveau worked fine on my entry level nvidia 8400GS [13:33] I have the latest hardware, gtx 970m [13:34] core i7 [13:34] yes, that's probly the problem [13:34] still too slow [13:35] selected uefi os , secure boot disabled, in boot menu first is usb hdd [13:35] dont boot [13:35] they should warn people for installing non lts releases :( [13:37] krise, it could be the usb iso image isn't bootable ...I had that problem with startup disk and unetbootin both , had to trt startup disk twice. [13:37] hm [13:37] ok [13:40] jjeronimo, I don't normally recommend the linux driver from the nvidia site, but it might work [13:41] untill the next kernell upgrade right? [13:41] yup [13:41] but yeah it might be a temporary solution [13:41] thx [14:02] BluesKaj did i understand right that i had to mark iso file as executable and make new start up disk ? [14:03] krise, I'm merely telling you my experience and some other users had with startup disk [14:04] well, mine dont still work [14:05] will it work if i burn it to dvd ? [14:05] dunno for sure . it might [14:07] krise, you might want to try legacy mode with the usb first [14:10] how can i doo that [14:13] krise in the uefi/bios === edwin is now known as Guest85898 === Guest85898 is now known as ejay [14:49] Thanks BluesKaj , Legacy mode worked. Now i have different problem, when i connect my external hard drive it gives me an error message. I will copy that to pastebin. I know it works in windows computer [14:49] https://paste.kde.org/pabyr6lsl [14:50] viirus is my ext. hard drive name [14:54] maybe try ntfsfix? [14:55] hmmz strange my xorg.conf keeps being overridden [14:55] krise, mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdd1 [14:56] step by step please [14:57] krise, in the terminal run the above [14:57] everytime I reboot my xorg.conf resets [14:59] nvidia-xconfig generates a different config than the one I'm trying to override [14:59] we don't normally need an xorg.conf anymore , so you might want to blank it and if you insist then run nvidia-xconfig afterwards [15:00] I'm still trying to fix the blank display problem when I boot [15:01] terminal tells me that only root can doo that [15:01] without resorting to the binary nvidia drivers on the site from nvidia [15:03] BluesKaj: I tried that, it resets to a certain default config after reboot [15:04] jjeronimo, then blank both xorgs and reboot [15:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10978285/ [15:04] both? [15:05] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:05] and? [15:07] is the one my system keeps restoring too [15:07] this one is generated by nvidia-xconfig http://paste.ubuntu.com/10978305/ === per is now known as Guest21806 [15:09] BluesKaj this happends mount: can't find /dev/sdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [15:12] jjeronimo, delete the xorg files is all i can think of then, we usually don't need them [15:12] I did that, it reapears after reboot [15:14] krise, check this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [15:18] jjeronimo: the arch wiki has a good section on nvidia, has a section on : No screens found on a laptop/NVIDIA Optimus [15:18] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA [15:21] MoonUnit`: thx, will try that [15:25] bumblebee is an option? [15:27] This article is outdated I think, still talks about nvidia 295 [15:27] oh no sorry it's not [15:28] no idea, only have radeon cards. [15:28] brb [15:30] MoonUnit`, how did you guess he's using optimus , good call , then he should use nvidia-prime, correct? [15:31]
