baizonhi, i have a problem regarding kubuntu 15.04. My audio is "a little bit" broken. Every boot my default audio output device is set to "line out" instead of "speaker". Can someone give me a hint how to fix it? It did work with 14.10. I personally think it's a systemd bug.07:07
papegaaijhi all, since the upgrade to 15.04, gtk3 application miss some icons07:20
papegaaiji've tried selecting other icon themes (breeze, oxygen), but they all miss icons07:21
hateballpapegaaij: do you mean in the tray?07:23
papegaaijno, mostly in toolbars07:23
hateballpapegaaij: so they display icons in the tray then?07:24
hateballI'm just wondering if it might be the same issue as http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/07:24
hateballI don't use any GTK things myself07:25
papegaaiji'm preparing a screenshot of the missing icon07:25
sophie_hi07:25
papegaaijhttp://picpaste.com/missing-icon-VkIwGrIb.png07:26
papegaaiji'm not sure what that icon is supposed to look like, but it probably should be something like ^ upside down07:27
papegaaijeclipse 4.5 has many of those icons, making the toolbar quite impossible to use07:28
sophie_can I ask something?07:28

riclimaSo, something very strange is happening in my Kubuntu machine.12:45
riclimaEvery time I log in, it opens 32 instances of Emacs.12:45
riclimaDoes anyone have a clue as to why? I checked my autostart and it doesn't even have Emacs there.12:47
BluesKajriclima, run sudo dpkg --configure -a12:49
riclimaBluesKaj, it didn't seem to change anything. Just logged out and back and it still did it.13:14
riclimaI'm thinking some script must have an accidental Emacs call and it's being run quite a few times on login.13:15
lolmausMy Kubuntu freezes during shutdown/reboot. How do i debug the issue? I tried looking into syslog but failed to find anything criminal.13:20
lolmausIs it possible to shut down in text mode? Maybe I'll see a error message or somehting.13:21
zztoplesshey ho... just wondering if anyone knows how to get a wallpaper (appropriate resolution) to spread across two monitors.  I'm actually running linux mint, but that channel seems to have fallen victim to a zombie plague and the kde version in kb 14.x is pretty close...13:26
BluesKaj!mint13:41
ubottuLinux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org13:41
zztoplessI mean really?  Both channels have hardly had anyone speak a word in hours, I clearly acknowledged that I had asked in there and mint-kde and kubuntu are two of the most similar distros around (especially regarding the question I asked)13:46
zztoplessI asked in KDE too *shock horror* as it's an issue that seems to span sever distros with the similar user interface (kde).13:47
BluesKajit wasn't clear that you used spot chat server mint help , there is also a linumint chat here on freenode, zztopless13:54
zztoplesshuh?13:55
* BluesKaj shrugs ...my post is clear enough13:56
zztoplessDo you mean there is a ##linuxmint on freenode?13:56
zztoplessI'm not trying to be rude, just not sure if yours was a typo or I'm missing something... :/13:57
BluesKajyes, but it's not a support chat, unfortu8nately13:57
zztoplessYeah, that channel is even deader unfortunately13:58
zztoplessBut let's be honest, it's an issue that effects kubuntu as well (which I have used far more often and am only on mint at the moment as 15.04 is a bit too unstable and after plasma mint is just that tiny bit more sparly than 14.10 :P14:00
zztoplessand I was hoping to installed kde 5.2/3 on mint but the repo for that has dissapeared :(14:00
zztoplessmint-kde that is14:01
zztoplessKinda suprised there isn't more talk at the moment in any of these channels, given the (deserved) hyped of plasma14:03
geniiNo news is good news.14:03
zztoplessno news means a ppa hasn't popped up to install 5.3 on mint to see if that plays a bit nicer with virtualbox (probably not given seems to be sddm issues)14:05

ejayhey. where can I find logs for sddm and plasmashell?17:40
snotrejay, /var/log/sddm.log17:41
ejayok, my plasma basically died like a dog. how to reinstall?17:45
snotrejay, what happens ? black screen on login ?17:47
ejaysnotr: I can log in. Got black after login in.17:48
ejaysnotr: plasmashell is not starting up17:48
snotrejay, you can switch to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) when black screen occurs and provide me output from command: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation17:50
ejaysnotr: I cant.17:54
snotrejay, you can't change tty ?17:54
ejaysnotr: Got some error about lack of display for x11 what is total bullshit becouse when trying to startx (or xinit) console spits something about already running. Yes I can change ttys17:55
snotrejay, plasma 5 ?17:59
snotrejay, i guess you can try clean the cache (rm -f ~/.cache/plasma* ; rm -f ~/.cache/ksycoca* ; rm -f ~/.cache/*.kcache ; kbuildsycoca5)18:00

z4sk4hi all i am trying install mdm on kubuntu 14.04, from repo do nothing.. i cant make "dpkg-reconfigure mdm" (nothing happend) and i try to compile mdm, but is imposible in the make always i have errors (i installing all dev)19:57
z4sk4someone know some repo to install mdm on 14.04? the only display manager that dont make me error is xdm... but is so ugly xD and i wanna try mdm19:57
BluesKajz4sk4, sudo dpkg -i mdm20:00
est31so I will lose all my widgets?20:03
BluesKajest31, are you upgrading over the internet?20:15
est31yes20:15
BluesKajthen your widgets shoudl survive , mine did iirc, est3120:17
est31ok thanks20:17
est31BluesKaj, do you still use lightdm?20:18
est31or that new desktop manager?20:18
est31(or login screen or whatever)20:18
BluesKajI use sddm (display manager)20:19
est31the new one?20:20
est31weird. I have lost all my widgets on my laptop, I'm upgrading my desktop now20:20
est31either way, it wont be that hard to replace them20:20
BluesKajif you still use lightdm then sddm should be available as an option while you're upgrading20:21
est31yes I switched on my laptop20:26
BluesKajest31, you may have to do: systemd enable sddm in the tty/vy  if you don't get a login screen on the next boot20:28
BluesKajest31, correction: systemctl enable sddm20:28
est31ok20:28
est31These bugs are why I don't upgrade the first day20:29
est31but rather wait a month or so20:29
BluesKajyes that's wise20:29

dizqohi, does kubuntu detects bios enabled cpu scaling technology like intel's speetstep and installs the appropriate modules automatically?21:01
OerHeksdizqo, yes, CPU frequency scaling is implemented in Linux kernel, the infrastructure is called cpufreq. Since kernel 3.4 the necessary modules are loaded automatically and the recommended ondemand governor is enabled by default.21:05
=== thomas_ is now known as Guest59442
dizqoOerHeks: thanks, can I switch it on and off between boots? I don't have to install/remove packages?21:09
OerHeksdizqo, you don't have to do anything, i guess. switching off ? why would you do that ?21:10
dizqoOerHeks: For example if I think there is a conflict between kernel and "software"(?) level scaling. I don't really know what I'm talking about fyi21:13
dizqoI'm basing this off of this (quite old) webpage: https://www.pantz.org/software/cpufreq/usingcpufreqonlinux.html21:13
OerHeksdizqo, forget that 2009 page, and kernel 2.6.X21:14
dizqoOerHeks: Ok great thanks. Exactly what I needed to know :)21:15
OerHeksyw21:15
dizqoOerHeks: I have a couple of other questions if you don't mind:21:16
dizqoI'm buying a dell laptop and I have to chose if I want to enable  "Out-of-band" system management (Intel vPro Technology)21:17
dizqoThen there is Dell Data Protection / Encryption - and DDPE HCA Volume License Validation21:18
dizqoand lastly Intel Smart Connect hard drive technology21:18
dizqoNot sure if these options are hardware based and hard to change, and whether they are linux friendly21:21
OerHeksI am not sure about Smart Connect hdd tech, if that is supported.21:21
dizqook21:21
est31I'm getting the following error when trying to start vlc: [00000000018582c8] core interface error: no suitable interface module22:38
OerHeksest31, by removing ~/.config/vlc it should work again, restart vlc after that.22:41
