[03:07] <xid> I'm not sure if this is a distro-specific issue, but how can I revert application-specific window settings that I applied through terminal?
[03:08] <xid> i'll google it just in case it's super easy to figure out
[03:08] <xid> these seems more generally kde related, although it's my first time trying it
[03:11] <xid> hilariously, i just made my system completely unusable by using too broad a match, although 'popcorn' seems like too specific a substring to have affected all applications
[03:16] <xid> i did $ ls -latrR ~ to try to figure out which file i might need to delete to get my system back
[03:16] <xid> lol
[04:02] <xid> i wound up fixing it by deleting .config/kwinsrc or something like that
[05:29] <Clonestyle> Anyone here know how to fix the problem with vsync getting disabled a few seconds after login?
[05:48] <Voyage> my desktop isnt just loading. I see no taskbar and no wallpaper. xhcat just popup up so I am able to chat here. Tried rebooting too. same
[05:50] <hateball> Voyage: can you manually start plasmashell ?
[05:56] <Voyage> hateball,  how can I do that?
[05:57] <Voyage> hateball,  theres not start kde menu. How to get to terminal or app menu?
[06:00] <Voyage> hateball,  now what?
[06:00] <Voyage> hateball,  I can go to tty1
[06:01] <hateball> Voyage: I think you can start from a tty (ctrl+alt+f1) with "eval `dbus-launch` && kdeinit5 && plasma-shell"
[06:01] <hateball> but I dont have a plasma5 machine handy to test right now
[06:01] <Voyage> k
[06:09] <Clonestyle> Anyone know how to fix the problem with vsync being disabled when restarted?
[06:10] <soee> good morning
[06:11] <valorie> Voyage: try without the dash between plasma-shell too -- as I recall it is just `plasmashell`
[06:11] <valorie> hasn't crashed for months, so hateball might be right rather than me
[06:11] <hateball> no it is probably without dash
[06:12] <hateball> on 4 it's plasma-desktop but on 5 it is probably plasmashell
[06:18] <Voyage> whats the shortcut to open a terminal?
[06:19] <Voyage> in gui
[06:27] <Clonestyle> Anyone know how to fix the problem with vsync getting disabled a few seconds after login? currently it only gets reenabled when i switch the compositing type
[06:27] <Clonestyle> it should be at 60 fps but a few seconds after it just jumps right back up to 100 fps :/
[06:37] <Clonestyle> This is so weird, I can't seem to get vsync to stay enabled when i restart
[07:53] <Robocop> Does anyone here know how to stop vsync from getting disabled when I restart?
[08:48] <Clonestyle> Anyone here know how to keep vsync from getting reset on a system restart?

[09:17] <neutrinomass> Is there any way of taking a screenshot of a window not in focus ?
[09:20] <hateball> neutrinomass: any reason you cant just focus the window?
[09:20] <hateball> I looked and doesnt seem like scrot nor ksnapshot can snapshot an inactive window
[09:22] <neutrinomass> hateball: Indeed, ksnapshot does not seem to be able to do it. To be honest I'm not sure it's even possible in KDE, hence my plea for help. I'm trying to do some screen scraping of a website and I need to take a screenshot of it every second or so, and I'd prefer to be able to use my computer while this thing is running.
[09:23] <hateball> neutrinomass: then I'd use scrot
[09:23] <hateball> and do something like while true; scrot -d 1
[09:24] <hateball> !info scrot
[09:25] <neutrinomass> hateball: Thanks, I installed  -- is there any particular reason to prefer this over ksnapshot ?
[09:26] <neutrinomass> I guess one way this could work would be to log in as a second user and just write to /tmp
[09:27] <hateball> neutrinomass: because you can automate with a while loop like I said
[09:27] <neutrinomass> i.e. keep firefox open in my second session and have scrot write the screenshots to /tmp/screenshot.tiff or something
[09:27] <neutrinomass> hateball: Ah ok, thanks
[09:27] <hateball> neutrinomass: check "scrot --help"
[09:27] <hateball> by default it dumps in your current directory, with a timestamp
[09:28] <hateball> so you just loop the desired command/delay as needed
[09:28] <hateball> neutrinomass: I recall there being firefox extensions to do this sort of thing as well
[09:28] <neutrinomass> hateball: thanks, I think this could actually work
[09:29] <neutrinomass> hateball: This is Flash over SSL --- there are things like firebug for firefox that enable web scraping (i.e. if you have html or javascript source) but nothing that can scrape flash, to the best of my knowledge.
[09:30] <hateball> neutrinomass: aha
[09:31] <neutrinomass> So to scrape Flash most people just intercept network traffic. In this case the website has guarded against this by only delivering over https, so that won't work and image processing is the only other thing I can think of.
[10:59] <AceKing> I upgraded to 15.04 when it came out... Had all my updates installed before I upgraded. The other day, I started up my laptop, and after 2 minutes of being on, it freezes up. I tried booting into recovery mode, and installing updates, but that didn't seem to help. Any idea what could have caused this, or how to fix it?
[11:04] <Grokling> AceKing: Welcome to the bleeding edge..
[11:04] <gunndawg> lol Kubuntu is not "bleeding edge"
[11:05] <Grokling> 15.04 is very bloody.
[11:05] <Grokling> Not everywhere, mind.
[11:06] <gunndawg> buggy? sure, bloody? no
[11:07] <Grokling> baloo breaks regularly. Dolphin locks up, and I had a full crash this afternoon. I started with no mouse cursor(work around by using xrender), and I still have no tooltips in libreoffice. Not bad going for three days huh!
[11:07] <Grokling> BUT.. it is the only distro I've used that was able, out of the box, to bring up all four of my screens.
[11:07] <gunndawg> I stopped using Kubuntu a few months back and went to Arch with KDE installed on top. Never looked back
[11:09] <Grokling> I played with ubuntu-gnome for a couple of hours - seems robust and workflow friendly.. but I just couldn't get it to run my screens..
[11:09] <Grokling> AceKing: was that an upgrade, or a new install?
[11:10] <AceKing> Grokling: Upgrade
[11:17] <kamil7> hi guys
[11:17] <kamil7> any eta for dolhpin 15.04.0-3 to land?
[11:18] <kamil7> bug with disappearing places items is annoying (found that was fixed in 15.04.0-3 but i still have 15.04.0-0)
[11:33] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:05] <aris> hi room i m new to linux 2 questions vim doesnt seem to work in kubuntu 15.4 and second  KF 5.10.0 will be releasead officially in kubuntu ppa s automatically or should i try to search for them
[12:43] <excalibr> People, how do you go about making your own region formats?
[12:43] <BluesKaj> aris, you can add the backports ppa to your sources.list here: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
[12:44] <BluesKaj> for plasma 5.3
[13:04] <excalibr> I figured what I'd need is called locale
[13:30] <amari> Hey, in Kubuntu 15.04, dolphin is not preserving location shortcuts in the sidebar, after closing the application. Is this a known bug being worked on?
[13:34] <amari> anyone?
[13:34] <BluesKaj> sidebar?
[13:35] <BluesKaj> oh places. yes that's aknown bug , amari
[13:35] <alvin> amari: I believe that's a known bug. I'd like the reverse. If I say 'hide location', I want it to stay hidden.
[13:36] <BluesKaj> the locations stay hidden here, dolphin is still on plasma4 so the fix is an integration with plasma 5 problem
[13:37] <amari> many rough edges with kubuntu 15.04 don't you think BluesKaj ?
[13:39] <BluesKaj> amari, yes , still lots of work to be done...plasma 5 was released much too soon IMO
[13:39] <amari> the UEFI problem, some theme inconsistencies...
[13:40] <amari> for kubuntu users, it's best to stay with the LTS for now, I think, in general...
[13:42] <BluesKaj> 14.10 is solid,  IME more so the 14.04 LTS even
[13:42] <BluesKaj> the=than
[13:42] <amari> BluesKaj: The problem is the support ends in July 2015...
[13:43] <BluesKaj> for 12.04 yes
[13:43] <BluesKaj> !LTS
[13:44] <amari> I mean, for 14.40 (Utopic Unicorn), it only has 9 months support...
[13:47] <amari> *14.10
[13:47] <BluesKaj> 14.10 Utopic is not LTS
[13:47] <amari> that's my point...
[13:48] <BluesKaj> but it is solid
[13:48] <BluesKaj> IMO 14.04 is buggy compared to 14.10 ..LTS or not
[15:50] <excalibr> Is there workaround for shadow not appearing under menu's in firefox on 15.04?
[16:07] <Martin7738> Hi, I use Kubuntu 15.04. I'd like to watch a video on it. No problem for videos of 500 MB. But for videos that weights over than 1GB, I can't watch them with Dragon player or VLC, it freezes after few seconds. Is there anything to be done to solve this problem ?
[16:08] <alvin> True. Because KDE is more recent on 14.10. Unfortunately, LTS does not mean "stable". I have yet to see a Linux distro solving that problem adequately. (I prefer FreeBSD on servers for that reason. Rock stable base, and up-to-date ports)
[16:11] <Martin7738> Ok, that surprised me because I've never had any problem on the same computer with ubuntu or linux mint. Thanks anyway :)
[16:11] <alvin> Martin7738: That wasn't an answer to your question :-) I can watch large videos just fine on both Dragon and VLC
[16:12] <alvin> You'll have to watch your system. Is the load normal when watching?
[16:12] <Martin7738> Ah okay, I misunderstood.
[16:12] <Martin7738> For some small videos it is, but for larger it freezes and blocks.
[16:13] <Martin7738> After retesting, it blocks on dragon while it continues begin loaded on vlc, but with many cuts and freezes.
[16:24] <alvin> what's your load during play?
[18:12] <Ninjahmahs> hey hey, any idea how i can open directories in my dolphin as root? trying to paste rootactions-servicemenu.pl into /usr/bin but i dont have the permission to do so
[18:12] <Ninjahmahs> and of course when i try to use the menu from right click in the directory to open as root, it says cannot find the file im trying to place into the directory :/
[18:14] <drw> `kdesudo dolphin` is the only way I know
[18:14] <Ninjahmahs> right
[18:15] <Ninjahmahs> and that just opens dolphin itself with root
[18:15] <Ninjahmahs> thanks
[18:17] <BluesKaj> open ?usr/bin as root
[18:17] <BluesKaj> err /usr/bin
[18:18] <Ninjahmahs> yes
[18:18] <Ninjahmahs> i have put that file i needed into the directory now using the kdesudo dolphin command and that let me do what i need to
[18:19] <Ninjahmahs> surprised there wasnt a basic open terminal here option in dolphin browser as default though :/
[18:23] <BluesKaj> there is, under tools
[18:24] <BluesKaj> Ninjahmahs,^
[18:24] <Ninjahmahs> ??
[18:24] <Ninjahmahs> lol
[18:24] <Ninjahmahs> i missed that
[18:24] <BluesKaj> very handy
[18:25] <Ninjahmahs> wow
[18:26] <Ninjahmahs> went through all that to get open in terminal only to find its in  the actual menu not the right click :/
[18:26] <Ninjahmahs> lol
[18:28] <Ninjahmahs> is there a simple way to add the standard open in terminal option to the context menu of right click
[18:28] <Ninjahmahs> looking in settings for a way to customise that in but cant see anything
[18:29] <acz32> Ninjahmahs: in dolphin? it should be in the context menu under actions
[18:30] <Ninjahmahs> not for me just two options send as email or create file project with k3b
[18:30] <Ninjahmahs> or i wouldnt of been trying to get it there in the first place lol
[18:31] <acz32> i meant if you open the context menu without having selected a file
[18:31] <Ninjahmahs> i mean i f i right click the open in terminal option from the main tools menu in dolphin i can assign the open in terminal action as a tool in the main feature ribbon, but not in the contextual click
[18:31] <Ninjahmahs> lol
[18:32] <Ninjahmahs> yeh which is what im doing
[18:32] <acz32> you right click in empty space and only see two options?
[18:32] <Ninjahmahs> yep
[18:33] <Ninjahmahs> this is on kubuntu 15.04
[18:33] <Ninjahmahs> fresh install
[18:33] <legodude> hey, upon upgrade to KDE 5/kubuntu 15.04, all of my dashboard applets disappeared, is there a way to restore them or at least recover the contents of the notes
[18:34] <acz32> i don't use kubuntu but this is my dolphin context menu https://imgrush.com/W6FIJKc8BzgM
[18:35] <Ninjahmahs> a lot of dashboard stuff seems to be incompatible on the latest version, also when i try to pin certain things into the favourites section of the launcher it hangs plasma panel completely
[18:35] <Ninjahmahs> it seems pretty different in my version
[18:37] <Ninjahmahs> interesting
[18:39] <acz32> hmm. not sure. i am using KDE 4.X
[18:39] <Ninjahmahs> i basically just did a right click and went to open with, chose konsole (terminal) and then when it asked me just set remember this selection for this file type (even though im right clicking in the empty space) and now i have an open with konsole saved in the open with menu
[18:39] <Ninjahmahs> so long winded XD
[19:15] <MchaelP> for uefi do i install the sameway as bois ?
[19:21] <OerHeks> !uefi
[19:26] <MchaelP> Any difference in running in bios or uefi mode ?
[19:27] <drw> I haven't really noticed, on my laptop at least
[19:28] <drw> I'm running UEFI w/Secure Boot on
[19:28] <MchaelP> only difference uefi suppose to be more secure right
[19:32] <BluesKaj> legacy with secure boot off
[19:32] <BluesKaj> MS imposition on pc makers in 2010
[19:33] <BluesKaj> UEFI
[19:34] <MchaelP> so no differece in the way linux runs in bios or uefi
[19:34] <BluesKaj> with regular dos partition table the partitions are restricted to 2TB..big deal
[19:36] <MchaelP> my drive only 600 gig
[19:37] <MchaelP> what partition table for uefi
[19:37] <BluesKaj> i haven't heard any reports about comparisons between bios and uefi running linux
[19:38] <BluesKaj> gpt
[19:38] <MchaelP> boot is what about 200 mb
[21:55] <JunkHunk> hello some of my files got duplicated or triplicated with an enigmatic ~ symbol or ~~ twice that symbol could anybody cast some light on it?
[22:31] <ussher_> kubuntu -> system settings -> display configuration is only showing the monitors from one of my graphics cards, any tips on how to get the monitors on the other card to show?
