[01:10] <FlyingB> hi, quick Q. Just got Kubuntu 15.04. mplayer and kaffeine lost their ability to play video files. Both display a blank screen. Using AMD drivers with a 3 monitor setup.
[01:10] <FlyingB> mplayer is even funnier, if I preview it through the task bar I can see the video playback.
[01:28] <Etriaph> I would suggest vlc
[01:28] <Etriaph> It's the most solid playback software atm.
[01:28] <Etriaph> If it won't play with vlc then it may be a codec issue.
[01:54] <Strav> He. Just wondering: on the announcement about plasma 5.3 in kubuntu backport repositories, it says that we now should have the new bluedevil applet available and yet, I cannot find such package (All I have is the bluedevil 2.0~rc1 package from the normal vervet repository), anyone knows where I could the the new one (I'm actually having issues with bluedevil-monolithic after resume from suspend)
[05:39] <valorie> hyper_ch: I probably advocated for yakuake
[05:41] <hyper_ch> valorie: how do you resize that?
[05:41] <valorie> via the menu I guess
[05:41] <valorie> I never have
[05:42] <valorie> it's always "just right" and you can tab it
[05:42] <hyper_ch> oh, you can't dynamically.. :(
[05:42] <valorie> yakuake appears and reappears with the f12 key or some other shortcut
[05:43] <valorie> I've never seen a instance where I wanted to dynamically change the size
[05:43] <hyper_ch> I do
[05:43] <hyper_ch> :) thx though
[05:46] <valorie> hyper_ch: have you filed/commented on a bug about konsole resizing?
[05:46] <hyper_ch> I have$
[05:46] <valorie> excellent
[05:46] <hyper_ch> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346636
[06:20] <soee> good morning
[06:32] <nfk|laptop> in kubuntu 15.04, does kmail and other PIM components need Akonadi?
[06:33] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: Yeah - pretty sure it's essential.
[06:33] <nfk|laptop> then why does trying to launch it return that there's no sqlite3 driver?
[06:34] <frogonwheels> do you have a sqlite3 driver for akonadi?
[06:34] <nfk|laptop> i have a fresh default installation
[06:35] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: weird.  Which akonadi-backend-*  packages do you have installed?
[06:35] <nfk|laptop> only mysql
[06:35] <nfk|laptop> but i also tried deleting every config file i could
[06:35] <nfk|laptop> the /home was carried over
[06:36] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: sometimes it can be a pain.. but generally you should be able to get it to work.  It runs its own instance of the database by default.  (so you have akonadi-backend-mysql  installed.)
[06:37] <nfk|laptop> yeah, but it's configured to use sqlite and i can't find figure out a way to change that
[06:37] <nfk|laptop> no kcm, no obvious command, and i have deleted every file that looks like it could be related to akonadi
[06:38] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: I've done it before. just trying to remember.
[06:38] <nfk|laptop> unless of course i'm missing something or by default it's hard-configured to something kubuntu does not even install by default
[06:38] <frogonwheels> run "akonad configuration
[06:39] <frogonwheels> or   "Akonadi Server Configuration"
[06:40] <nfk|laptop> where?
[06:40] <frogonwheels> K menu. and search for it.
[06:40] <nfk|laptop> nothing with akonadi in it
[06:41] <nfk|laptop> how does sqlite even compare to mysql for akonadi and about 6000 emails?
[06:41] <nfk|laptop> i'd probably prefer to use sqlite over mysql as long as it's not too slow
[06:42] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: nfi
[06:42] <nfk|laptop> time to see then
[06:43] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: weird about not seeing the settings.  I just typed in Akonadi into the search on the K menu
[06:44] <nfk|laptop> probably not installed
[06:44] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: ALT+F2  then type Akonadi ?
[06:44] <nfk|laptop> should be the same thing
[06:44] <portablejim> Anybody know how to get Firefox's "Open Containing Folder" to use Dolphin instead of Gwenview?
[06:44] <nfk|laptop> and nothing is found
[06:44] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: akonadiconsole ?
[06:44] <frogonwheels> Ie the package
[06:45] <nfk|laptop> portablejim, if setting gwenview to your file manager does not do it, then no idea
[06:45] <nfk|laptop> though i would not be surprised that there's some obscure about:config setting for it but ask that in #firefox or something
[06:45] <frogonwheels> nfk|laptop: akonadi-kde and akonadi-server
[06:45] <portablejim> nfk|laptop: It opens in gwenview instead of dolphin.
[06:46] <nfk|laptop> frogonwheels, akonadiconsole, i'm fairly sure, is half-supported developer tool
[06:46] <nfk|laptop> it's never installed by default, at least not nowadays
[06:47] <nfk|laptop> portablejim, ah, check that dolphin is your file manager
[06:47] <nfk|laptop> need some guidance on that?
[06:48] <portablejim> System Settings => Applications => File Manager => Dolphin?
[06:48] <portablejim> So changing it to gwenview and then back fixed it.
[06:57] <nfk|laptop> that's good to hear
[07:53] <wldcordeiro_> Is there a way to replace the kubuntu network manager with wicd? I have a lot of issues with it dropping wifi
[07:54] <hyper_ch> yes
[08:03] <wldcordeiro_> hyper_ch: what is the package called for kde is it the network-manager? or is the some other name?
[08:03] <hyper_ch> apt-cache search network | grep manager
[08:03] <RtMF> I think it has plasma in the name?
[08:03] <hyper_ch> there's the kde frontent and the actual network manager package
[08:03] <RtMF> right
[08:03] <hyper_ch> I think you need to remove both but not sure
[08:04] <RtMF> I think just removing network manager takes out the control applets
[08:04] <RtMF> they always used to hard depend on it
[08:04] <RtMF> also without the service the applets can't do much
[08:50] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:26] <aart3k> hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Plasma 5.3 using backports ppa, and after the update it seems that KWin is crashing
[09:27] <aart3k> any ideas? where to check for kwin logs or sth?
[09:27] <aart3k> or maybe how to delete all kwin settings so it starts with defaults?
[09:33] <soee> aart3k: check in .config and .kde for kwin settings you are using
[09:56] <bip> Hello :P
[10:28] <ShishKabab> I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 15.04, but Akonadi is not working anymore (also the bootup splash is broken, but that's not a priority right now), so I can't use KMail anymore. Akonadi self test report: https://paste.kde.org/pctjwcogx . Apparently something went wrong with MySQL, but how do I start debugging this?
[10:34] <ShishKabab> Also window management does not go well. Sometimes areas of the screen don't get repainted when closing or switching windows, which means my system feels really broken...
[10:40] <ShishKabab> Anybody here?
[10:40] <gunndawg> 0/
[10:41] <ejay> ShishKebab, you can ask again coz I saw only "Also window management..." part.
[10:43] <ShishKabab> ejay: I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 15.04, but Akonadi is not working anymore (also the bootup splash is broken, but that's not a priority right now), so I can't use KMail anymore. Akonadi self test report: https://paste.kde.org/pctjwcogx . Apparently something went wrong with MySQL, but how do I start debugging this?
[10:49] <ejay> ShishKebab, did you updated from kubuntu14 or it was fresh installation?
[10:50] <patrick__> how do i check my hdd for errors from a kubuntu live boot from usb stick ?
[10:50] <ShishKabab> ejay: I've upgraded from 14.10
[10:51] <ejay> ShishKebab, it look like akonadi is not fully ported yet. Did you tried this: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=125580
[10:51] <ejay> kcmshell4 akonadi
[10:52] <ejay> oh, nevermind. I'm tired. It not an solution to your problem. ;)
[10:53] <ejay> ShishKebab, did you tried to reinstall mysql?
[10:54] <ejay> in your err log, line 74
[10:55] <patrick__> how do i check my hdd for errors from a kubuntu live boot from usb stick ?
[10:56] <ejay> then lines 345+. akonadi is not starting and maybe it is just something with mysql
[10:57] <ejay> patrick__, you can use fsck from konsole
[10:59] <ShishKabab> ejay: I can try, just a minute. (By the way if you type ShishKabab with the a instead of e I'll get notified of your message ;) )
[11:00] <ejay> ShishKabab, like I'd said before - I'm tired. Sry for misstyping your nick.
[11:03] <ShishKabab> ejay: No problem at all (tab completion might help you though.) If I remove mysql-server-5.6 dependencies will break. Is there a reinstall command?
[11:04] <ejay> ShishKabab: well, I dont know. Isn't there something like -reinstall?
[11:05] <ShishKabab> Yes, that did the trick.
[11:05] <ShishKabab> ejay: Now reinstalling.
[11:05] <ejay> ShishKabab: good luck :D
[11:06] <ShishKabab> ejay: OK,  I'll reboot now to test.
[11:14] <ShishKabab> ejay: Nope, didn't work.
[11:15] <ejay> ShishKabab: akonadi error log is the same?
[11:15] <ejay> still something about mysql?
[11:17] <ShishKabab> ejay: Yup, but just found a workaround on the Kubuntu 15.04  announcement page under known issues. I'll re-login to test :)
[11:17] <ejay> ShishKabab: ok
[11:22] <ShishKabab> ejay: It works! The window management issue also seems to be gone for the moment.
[11:22] <ejay> ShishKabab: can you share with a link to your solution?
[11:24] <ShishKabab> ejay: It was under known issues on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15.04 . Workaround is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/akonadi/+bug/1437846/comments/11 .
[11:28] <ejay> ShishKabab: good to know. thanks
[11:28] <ShishKabab> ejay: Ah, now everything starts to flicker again when I change windows, certain areas don't get updated, etc. Any idea why this is happening after I am logged in for a while? Is there any option to disable all window effects?
[11:29] <hateball> ShishKabab: alt+f2 -> compositing
[11:29] <hateball> you have various options
[11:37] <patrick__> Hi, My kubuntu 15.04 after startup ( not everytime, more like every second boot ) 15min the hdd ligh goes on, and eventually the system grinds to a halt, mouse clicks unresponsive etc. I have disabled the file indexing service and the akondi(?) server on advice given here that has not solved the problem. I am after noticing that my USB install stick reports 3 errors when "check disk for deffects" what should i do ?
[11:38] <ShishKabab> hateball: Yes,  I've already disabled every individual effect, but there used to be an option somewhere to really disable compositing completely. I still seeing try do  some effects here and there.
[11:38] <ShishKabab> (And failing.)
[11:38] <lordievader> patrick__: Check smart?
[11:39] <patrick__> lordievader: what does that mean?
[11:39] <lordievader> patrick__: Most, if not all, drives nowadays come with smart. It reports the drive's health. You can read it out with 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdXY'.
[11:39] <hateball> ShishKabab: you can try switching renderer also, see if that improves things
[11:40] <patrick__> lordievader: sudo: smartctl: command not found
[11:41] <lordievader> patrick__: You need to install it first ;) sudo apt-get install smartmontools
[11:42] <patrick__> lordievader: how do i run it on all disks, ie what do i use for the XY part ?
[11:43] <lordievader> patrick__: for item in /dev/sd[a-z]; do sudo smartctl -a $item; done
[11:43] <ShishKabab> hateball: Thank you! Problem solved it seems ;)
[11:43] <lordievader> ^ generates a lot of output ;)
[11:44] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:44] <hateball> ShishKabab: Out of curiousity, what did you change to and from what?
[11:45] <ShishKabab> hateball: Just turned off compositing at startup and pressed Alt+Shift+F12 to disable compositing now.
[11:47] <hateball> ShishKabab: What sort of GPU+driver are you using?
[11:48] <ShishKabab> hateball: [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 7290] with the propietary drivers.
[11:49] <patrick__> lordievader:  I ran sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda and I got a ton of output but im guessing "..SMART Error Log Version: 1..No Errors Logged.." is the important bit ?
[11:49] <lordievader> patrick__: Could you patebin the output?
[11:49] <lordievader> !paste | patrick__
[11:51] <patrick__> lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10984066/
[11:51] <hateball> ShishKabab: I see. I have no experience with AMD stuff so cant say if there's a better way to fix this than disabling it entirely
[11:52] <lordievader> patrick__: Lots and lots of errors (22796112), back up your drive NOW.
[11:53] <patrick__> lordievader: all backed up already where do you errors in that output - sorry total noob at this
[11:53] <MoonUnit`> weird though, no bad or relocated sectors.
[11:53] <lordievader> patrick__: raw_read_error_rate and seek_error_rate.
[11:53] <lordievader> MoonUnit`: I got a drive just like this. Not really reliable...
[11:54] <patrick__> lordievader: advice ?
[11:54] <lordievader> patrick__: Get a new drive, use this for data you are willing to loose at any given moment.
[11:56] <patrick__> lordievader: the usb stick I installed from still reports 2 errors on check disk for defect - would that have mattered ?
[11:56] <ShishKabab> hateball: I'll just leave it like this right now so I can continue working... Planning to buy another netbook soon anyway. By the way, after upgrading I lost all my notes on my desktop (along with all my KDE settings such as Kate sessions and shortcut configs) and I forgot to back them up. Is there any way to recover these notes?
[11:56] <lordievader> patrick__: For the usbstick of for the filesystem on the hdd?
[11:57] <valve> Sorry. just upgraded to 15.04. Lost the possibility to login to KDE (KDE greeter) ... what should I do to reenable that ? kde-full disappeared ...
[11:58] <valve> hints appreciated
[11:58] <patrick__> lordievader: for the usb stick, like when i go to re install again
[11:58] <hateball> ShishKabab: I think they're saved as xml files in ~/somewhere so if you know any contents you could grep for them I guess
[11:59] <lordievader> patrick__: Hmm, if that is the case I wouldn't really trust it.
[11:59] <BluesKaj> valve, which upgrade method did you use?
[11:59] <valve> just do-dist-upgrade
[12:00] <patrick__> ok ty :) hope I dont see you again :D
[12:00] <valve> BluesKaj: just do-dist-upgrade
[12:00] <valve> BluesKaj: after the update ... no more GNOME/KDE login possibilities (no .desktop sessions in lightdm)
[12:01] <patrick__> lordievader: actually before I do this all again, I have a second spare hdd, can I plug it into my pc and run smart and have you look at the errors for that one ?
[12:01] <hateball> ShishKabab: seems to be inside ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
[12:02] <BluesKaj> valve, you mean do-release-upgrade right ? If so then you were probly using the lightdm greeter, correct?
[12:02] <ShishKabab> hateball: Mmm, lost everything then. Grepped the whole .kde folder. Oh well, that's what you get not making backups.
[12:02] <valve> BluesKaj: yes (as I was using before, in 14.04/14.10)
[12:03] <hateball> ShishKabab: So it goes
[12:03] <ShishKabab> hateball: Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
[12:03] <valve> BluesKaj: it was working as supposed. I think I just lost the sessions there (NOTE: I had kde-full before, which seems to be ... disappeared)
[12:04] <lordievader> patrick__: Sure ;)
[12:04] <BluesKaj> valve, drop to a tty/vt and do, sytemctl enable lightdm then reboot
[12:04] <BluesKaj> systemctl
[12:06] <valve> BluesKaj: It says "the unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl"
[12:08] <BluesKaj> valve, ok perhaps lightdm is no longer available, I'm not sure, then change lightdm to sddm in the command.
[12:09] <valve> BluesKaj: has kde-full been dropped?
[12:12] <BluesKaj> valve, seems do
[12:12] <BluesKaj> so
[12:12] <valve> BluesKaj: ... I think that do-dist-upgrade left a messed up KDE installation
[12:12] <valve> I've no SDDM but some packages of KDE5 for sure ...
[12:13] <valve> BluesKay: have you installed kubuntu-desktop ?
[12:14] <natacus> lordievader: hi again, changed username :) how do i run the smart check again ?
[12:17] <lordievader> natacus: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX
[12:21] <BluesKaj> valve, then I don't think you actually have 15.04, unless you changed the sources list to Vivid and upgraded
[12:22] <natacus> lordievader: how does this on look (this one ran kubuntu 14.04 for 1.5 years zero issues ) https://paste.kde.org/pgg1zqvyp
[12:24] <paulk_> hello
[12:24] <paulk_> Kubuntu 15.04 Plasma 5.3; anybody knows how I can personalize the login screen?
[12:24] <lordievader> natacus: Lot's better, only seek errors. But I guess that give just a performance hit.
[12:26] <BluesKaj> valve, to upgrade to 15.04 from 14.10 over the internet, the command is sudo do-release-upgrade , not sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:26] <natacus> lordievader: :D okay, so today is a holiday and I honestly just want a computer that works - your advice pop into town and buy a fresh disk or wait a week for the company to buy me a fresh disk or use the one i just pasted ?
[12:27] <lordievader> natacus: Either get a new one, or use the one you just pasted. I wouldn't trust the other disk with data you don't want to loose.
[12:28] <natacus> lordievader:  ty for the help! really cool to learn about this, simple way to put my mind at ease. So you think the bad disk was the reason for the crappy performance on my pc?
[12:28] <lordievader> Likely yes, I mean look at the errors :P
[12:41] <valve> BluesKaj: yes yes
[12:41] <valve> BluesKaj: I've messed up writing here, sorry
[13:47] <ejay> Is it me or "Find" in Dolphin is broken?
[14:08] <MoonUnit`> ejay: on and off, sometimes it displays an error other times it works.
[14:10] <ejay> MoonUnit`: something with invalid protocol?
[14:11] <ejay> this bug is already filed in bugtracker - it's something with f up packages
[14:14] <alvin> Can someone tell me what program I have to start to see the NetworkManager connection manager? In Gnome, that would be nm-connection-manager, but I don't know the KDE one.
[14:14] <MoonUnit`> ejay: i think so, seems to be working atm.
[14:16] <murthy> alvin: /usr/bin/kde5-nm-connection-editor
[14:17] <murthy> alvin: or just kde5-nm-connection-editor
[14:17] <alvin> Thanks murthy!
[14:17] <murthy> alvin: hi, have you heard of the "ps aux" command
[14:17] <alvin> yes
[14:17] <alvin> Oh, my question was wrong... I need the one to choose the connection. Not edit them.
[14:18] <murthy> alvin: oh, in that case, you need to use the widget
[14:19] <alvin> I feared as much. And that only works in plasma, right? Not i3? I was planning to use i3 until some bugs are gone from plasma5, and until the netbook view is there.
[14:20] <alvin> I see it's possible to connect from the editor. I might be able to do something with that. Or try to use kwallet together with nmtui. (btw, whatever happened to nm-tool?)
[14:20] <murthy> alvin: I am not sure about this, but I think I read somewhere the app was replaced with a widget, I have to google to check
[14:22] <alvin> That might explain why I can't find it. Also, I've tried and 'connect' is greyed out when starting kde5-nm-connection-editor from i3.
[14:23] <murthy> alvin: I can't find anything relavent. You wait here, someone else might help you better or you can ask the fellows in #kde
[14:23] <alvin> Oh, I will. My Quasselcore will try to keep me here. I need to update it though...
[14:29] <ranveeraggarwal> Hello. I installed kubuntu 15.04 a couple of days back. Everything was great until a system update spawned an issue. Whenever I try logging in, instead of getting the GUI, I get the message "Starting version 219" displayed on a black screen. Is this a known issue?
[14:36] <alvin> That's version 219 of systemd
[14:42] <Finetundra> hey guys, I can't seem to connect to vnc with krdc anymore. anyone know why that is?
[14:43] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: how do I get back the GUI? Any clue?
[14:44] <Finetundra> ranveeraggarwal: have you tried ctrl+alt+f7?
[14:46] <ranveeraggarwal> Finetundra: yes. I can access everything from Ctrl+alt+F1-6. It's the GUI part that's inaccessible. All I get is text saying 'Starting Version 219'
[14:46] <Finetundra> startx?
[14:47] <alvin> There's no shell, is there?
[14:47] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: nope
[14:47] <alvin> Try systemctl restart sddm
[14:48] <alvin> systemd is new to me. Wasn't there some error checking? Let me see
[14:48] <genii> Looks like bug 1432171
[14:48] <alvin> Yes, try: systemctl status sddm
[14:48] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: on tty1?
[14:48] <alvin> Yes. You'll have no choice there
[14:49] <alvin> genii: No, that's only about the message. I get it too, but then sddm starts up.
[14:49] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: nope, doesn't work for me
[14:49] <alvin> ranveeraggarwal: TTY1 doesn't work for you?
[14:50] <alvin> That sounds bad. You'll have to reboot into single user mode if it's still called that. Do you know how?
[14:50] <ranveeraggarwal> No tty1 works. The command that you have doesn't
[14:50] <alvin> Ah, it doesn't? No output?
[14:51] <ranveeraggarwal> Wait. I'll try it as user. I sudo-ed it for no reason
[14:53] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: nope. Still doesn't work.
[14:54] <alvin> You have something strange going on. That command should give you the reason why sddm didn't start. Ok. Try looking at the last lines of journalctl (needs sudo)
[14:54] <Xenoth> 2 quick questions; I have a wireless USB mouse, the 2.4GHz kind. The back and forward buttons are reversed - that is, back is forward, and forward is back. How can I fix these? Also, it seems to automatically sleep every 10 minutes or so. Kubuntu 14.04 doesn't sense when the mouse has woken back up. Normally requires turning the mouse off then back on 2-3 times.
[14:54] <alvin> Oops. nope, it doesn't need sudo. I've been sudoing it for no reason too.
[14:55] <lordievader> Sddm logs to /var/log/sddm.log ;)
[14:56] <alvin> Xenoth: Is your mouse set to right/left handed? Check System Settings -> Input devices
[14:56] <Xenoth> It's set to right handed. I'm right handed.
[14:57] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: It says 'Display server stoppedc
[14:57] <ranveeraggarwal> s/stoppedc/stopped
[14:57] <ranveeraggarwal> And then it ran a display stop script
[14:57] <alvin> Ah, great. I'll have to take a look at that logfile too. SDDM is using way to much CPU. After logging in...
[14:58] <alvin> ranveeraggarwal: In that cas: graphics drivers, no? What driver do you use?
[14:58] <alvin> ranveeraggarwal: I believe you'll find the reason for that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:00] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: Ah! I think I got it. I had changed the display driver when it had prompted me to. That might be the reason. How do I switch back to fglrx using the command line?
[15:00] <alvin> sudo apt install fglrx I believe
[15:01] <alvin> There used to be a jockey-text, but I don't know what replaced it.
[15:03] <ranveeraggarwal> I do have them installed. I just need to enable them. Online solutions use jockey-text. Couldn't find it
[15:03] <Finetundra> how would one reinstall libvncserver?
[15:04] <BluesKaj> think jockey is no more
[15:04] <alvin> No, it has been replaced, but I don't know by what
[15:04] <alvin> Well, there still is some graphical choose-your-driver thing.
[15:05] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: Yeah there is. Just can't access it :/
[15:06] <alvin> Hmm, it's called by 'kcmshell5 kcm_driver_manager'. Doesn't work without the proper driver ;-)
[15:06] <BluesKaj> !vnc
[15:06] <alvin> ok, long shot. dpkg-reconfigure fglrx?
[15:07] <alvin> FreeNX? Is that project still alive?
[15:08] <alvin> Their homepage is offline: http://freenx.berlios.de/
[15:08] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: the command works. Didn't help though
[15:10] <lordievader> ranveeraggarwal: What is the output of 'lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA'?
[15:11] <alvin> ranveeraggarwal: Found it: sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[15:11] <ranveeraggarwal> lordievader: It detects two compatible controllers
[15:13] <lordievader> ranveeraggarwal: Can you pastebin the output please?
[15:13] <lordievader> !paste | ranveeraggarwal
[15:13] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: yes that works. How do I proceed?
[15:14] <ranveeraggarwal> lordievader: I'm using a mobile device because my laptop doesn't have any GUI. Can I send over an imgur link instead?
[15:15] <alvin> Apparently, you use apt to install the driver. That command only lists the possibilities, although the usage hints at an autoinstall option.
[15:15] <lordievader> ranveeraggarwal: Try pastebinit instead ;)
[15:17] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin: alright. I'll try updating the given drivers.
[15:18] <ranveeraggarwal> lordievader: I don't have it installed :/ and apt-get wouldn't work as I'm not connected to the internet
[15:18] <lordievader> Heh, I guess pasting a photo is an alternative ;)
[15:19] <alvin> If you haven't erased the package and it was previously installed, you can apt-get reinstall
[15:28]  * alvin will now try to install ownCloud on a sparc64 server
[15:29] <genii> Hehe, sparc
[15:30] <alvin> The machine noisy, power-hungry and a bit old too. But simply beautiful
[15:31] <alvin> a 10-year old eight-core UltraSPARC T1 with 8GB memory. Should be good enough for a few users.
[15:34] <genii> alvin: Did you manage to gen some *buntu port on it? There is a port for Sparc
[15:35] <alvin> Is there? I knew there was, but this is a special architecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Fire_T2000
[15:37] <alvin> Edgy Eft ran on that machine. But Vivid?
[15:38] <alvin> Nope. Gone: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2010-August/000441.html
[16:09] <Xenoth> alvin: Earlier, I had the trouble with the mouse. I can fix it with xinput, but that seems temporary/not persistent. Is there a way to save the configuration?
[16:09] <alvin> Never used it. I thought your problam would be related to global hotkeys.
[16:10] <alvin> You can run xinput scripts at KDE startup, but in plasma5 that feature is currently broken.
[16:11] <Xenoth> Hmm, I already have an xset command in there. I'll just add one for xinput. Any ideas on how to keep the mouse awake?
[16:12] <alvin> Without teaching a monkey to wiggle it?
[16:13] <alvin> Depends on the mouse. It took me a year to find out that I didn't have to reconnect my bluetooth mouse every time it went to sleep by giving the code 0000 when pairing
[16:16] <Xenoth> Well, I haven't rebooted since I've plugged this mouse in. Perhaps there's a UDev rule or something.
[16:40] <jmadero> how do I get my gtk theme to apply to gtk software in Kubuntu?
[16:40] <ranveeraggarwal> alvin, lordievader: Just got it to work. I used an old Ethernet cable, re-installed fglrx and used the command you (alvin) mentioned earlier. Worked like a charm :) Thanks!
[16:55] <natacus> Hi, Tried downloading the 1504 iso and installing it to mem stick via pendrivelinux program - keeps tellming found two errors on the disk when i run check disk for defects - is ths normal ?
[16:59] <sithlord48> natacus:  no that is not normal
[16:59] <sithlord48> have you used the usb start up creator program that comes with ubuntu/linux?
[17:00] <natacus> sithlord48: i dont have a linux machine atm
[17:01] <sithlord48> natacus: your doing this ? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[17:02] <sithlord48> in that case idk if errors are to be expected or not.. what errors do you get ?
[17:04] <sithlord48> natacus:  you can also try Unetbootin for windows . i have used this from linux before and it has always worked well for me  http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[17:05] <noaXess> hey all..
[17:05] <noaXess> someone already upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 successfully w/o big problems?
[17:05] <sithlord48> i upgraded several machines from 14.04 to 10.14 to 15.04 no issues.. one had slugish plasma (intel video)
[17:11] <noaXess> :sithlord48 what type of machines? also notebooks?
[17:12] <sithlord48> noaXess:  i have desktops and laptops. my netbook i did a fresh install on because it always just get wiped its a testing machine
[17:12] <sithlord48> amd / amd gpu and intel/ intel gpu
[17:27] <noaXess> sithlord48: okey.. thanks.. have a asus laptop with intel and nvidia grafics
[17:27] <lordievader> ranveeraggarwal: Good to hear :)
[17:27] <sithlord48> noaXess: i have heard there might be issues with some nvidia cards and plasma 5 . you might want to try a live disc first.
[17:28] <noaXess> sithlord48: right.. have also a second hd.. maybe i clone first my primary and then test the update
[17:28] <noaXess> sithlord48: right.. have also a second hd.. maybe i clone first my primary and then test the upgrade
[17:28] <sithlord48> not a bad idea
[17:28] <noaXess> ups.. sorry... wanted post twice
[17:31] <ranveeraggarwal> lordievader: Plasma 5 is really beautiful. It would have been a shame if there were no GUI :D
[17:31] <lordievader> ranveeraggarwal: I like my tmux just fine ;)
[17:31]  * lordievader is a terminal nut
[17:33]  * sithlord48 says most sith perfer the terminal 
[17:34] <ranveeraggarwal> :D
[17:40] <jmadero> anyone know how to enable GTK support within KDE - I have 5 DE's installed, in 4 of them my GTK software look the same, in KDE it looks different
[17:40] <sithlord48> its already enabled. you can set the theme in system settings
[17:40] <jmadero> sithlord48: so I thought so also ;) in settings though it is set
[17:40] <jmadero> and it's not showing right
[17:40] <jmadero> I use a dark theme - yet my GTK software (like LibreOffice0 is showing light
[17:40] <jmadero> in Enlightenment, Gnome, Cinnamon and Unity it shows right
[17:41] <sithlord48> gtk apps should match your kde color theme . might not be 100 working on plasma 5
[17:42] <jmadero> sithlord48: the weird thing is I thought it was working last week, then I did a clean install and it broke again :)
[17:43] <sithlord48> not sure the only gtk app i use is firefox and trans gui neither of them honor the color scheme here on plasma 5. was good with kde4
[17:43] <jmadero> sithlord48: fair enough - so I guess in the alternative, can I get a dark theme that will apply to things like pidgin and LibreOffice
[17:44]  * jmadero can't stand light themes
[17:44] <sithlord48> myabe with gnome config ? or what ever gtk settings you would normally use ? that theme has to come from somewhere right
[17:44] <jmadero> I usually use gnome-tweak-tool
[17:45] <sithlord48> and im guessing if its correct in the other DEs... then its already be set
[17:45] <jmadero> yeah
[17:46] <jmadero> okay well not a big deal - I only use KDE about 5% of the time, so light theme is fine
[17:46] <jmadero> sithlord48: thanks
[17:47] <mkanyicy> Hi guys
[17:47] <jmadero> hi mkanyicy
[17:47] <mkanyicy> Im on kubuntu and my system shows that I have 1 cpu on htop but i dual boot with linux mint and htop shows 2 cpu's
[17:48] <mkanyicy> is this known?
[17:51] <Naphatul> can i change it from kmix so when i change application volume, it doesn't touch the global volume level?
[17:51] <Naphatul> i know this is a PA option just wondering if i should dig into it
[18:25] <Etriaph> Anyone else having an issue with Update Notifier remaining in the notifications tray suggesting there are updates, after the update completes?
[18:26] <Etriaph> 15.04 w/5.3
[18:30] <noaXess> tring to boot 15.10 live on my laptop asus laptop n76vz (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N76VZ/) and i get this: http://i.imgur.com/QlytVLL.jpg.. any hint or any bios change i have to mae for 15.10?
[18:31] <soee> noaXess: there is not 15.10
[18:31] <noaXess> sorry.. 15.04 ;)
[18:31] <genii> !wily | soee
[19:15] <acz32> does anyone know if there's a window setting where i can set certain applications to always open with focus, even if i'm on a different workspace than the newly opened application?
[20:06] <nathan_> salut
[20:30] <minniux> any luck creating an encrypted root partition through kubuntu installer? once I choose "physical disk for encryption" it doesn't proceed with formatting or passphrase options..so there's no way to set the '/' mount point and proceed with the installation
[20:32] <minniux> and that was from the latest kubuntu 15.04's livecd
[20:33] <minniux> any ideas?
[20:33] <kibou> @acz32 you can define window settings for specific windownames or programs. just right click the title-bar and pick the option
[20:33] <hyper_ch> minniux: use the mini install cd
[20:34] <kibou> @minniux i installed mine yesterday with encrypted LVM without any hassle
[20:34] <hyper_ch> kibou: if you don't customize it to your needs....
[20:34] <hyper_ch> otherwise use the mini install cd
[20:35] <minniux> @kibou I was using the manual partitioning, not the guided install
[20:36] <kibou> yeah :/ never used that in kubuntu. sorry
[20:36] <minniux> @hyper_ch it worth a try, although I didn't really want to download everything during install time
[20:36] <hyper_ch> it works... that's how I got my encrypted raid1
[20:37] <minniux> @hyper_ch seems i got no other options..will use it, thanks for the suggestion :)
[20:39] <kibou> you could drop to the cli and set it up manualy..
[20:40] <minniux> @kibou will try that if couldn't do it with the net install..thanks for helping :)
[20:41] <kibou> @minniux word. :)
