[01:20] <Groggle> Does anyone know if KDE partition manager uses QT? I'm wondering why its fonts are so huge and ugly compared to the rest of my applications?
[01:23] <Groggle> The wikipedia entry told me. Sorry for having asked.
[01:42] <diego_> Hello, I have a bug that has already been reported.  The fix involves adding a PPA and updating plasma.  To my knowledge Plasma is already updated, so I'm a bit confused.  Would someone care to help me out?
[02:29] <DDR> Hi all. Sometimes when I'm taking a screenshot, everything disappears except for my mouse and my desktop background.
[02:30] <DDR> The mouse is still reactive in some capacity, mousing over invisible elements. Is there any way to reset things from the keyboard?
[02:30] <DDR> I usually just use the reset button on my computer, but that's a bit of a sledgehammer solution.
[04:15] <DrJ> xset dpms force off  <--trying to set a hot key for this to turn off my monitors whenever I want
[04:15] <DrJ> it works, but only for a second
[04:15] <DrJ> any ideas?
[04:15] <DrJ> they go black and then come right back
[04:16] <DrJ> to be clear: it works if I run the command via terminal
[04:16] <DrJ> but not if I apply a hotkey
[04:17] <ahoneybun> DrJ: make a script with the command and hook the script to the key
[04:17] <ahoneybun> maybe.
[04:17] <DrJ> will try
[04:18] <DrJ> :(
[04:18] <DrJ> didn't work
[04:19] <DrJ> made the command: ./home/jeremy/monitor
[04:19] <DrJ> and had xset dpms force off in the monitor file
[04:19] <DrJ> it did the same thing, off for a couple seconds then back
[04:20] <ahoneybun> not sure, have not mess with hotkeys in KDE
[04:20] <ahoneybun> just Unity, but very little
[04:22] <DrJ> okay
[04:22] <DrJ> feel free to call me an idiot
[04:22] <DrJ> I didn't hit apply after changing the command
[04:22] <DrJ> it does work :)
[04:23] <DrJ> thanks!
[04:23] <ahoneybun> yay :)
[04:24] <ahoneybun> I'm happy it worked DrJ
[04:24] <DrJ> yea, me too
[04:24] <DrJ> reason it is kind of important is the power button broke off my monitor
[04:24] <DrJ> well, one of the two
[04:25] <DrJ> only way for me to turn on/off my monitor the normal way is to use a flat head screw driver or something to complete the cicuit
[04:25] <DrJ> this is way easier
[04:29] <ahoneybun> oh boy
[05:19] <Finetunrda_> hey folks, muon updater has been notifying that there are updates, but when I open it up it says there's no updates. what gives?
[07:23] <snake-ssr> Hello
[09:03] <kubuntu5> hi all, I just install kubuntu 15.04, and its really buggy under redeon driver, it's running just fine if i'm using fglrx. I didn't get this on 14.10.. is there something i need to know about this?
[09:04] <kubuntu5> I prefer using radeon driver, its create additional and unecessary work if i have to install fglrx just to have smoth system..
[09:45] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:06] <Etienne> Hi :)
[11:08] <Etienne> I need help setting up fcitx on my system to write in japanese/chinese. I've got the whole thing working in the Configure Input Method window (I can actually switch and write in this window), but I cannot switch in any other window/app… Rebooting doesn't help. Any clues?
[11:47] <Etienne> ok, I posted on askubuntu… http://askubuntu.com/questions/650173/how-to-properly-set-up-fcitx-on-kubuntu-15-04
[12:13] <watsug> I activated "no border" by right clicking on a windows titlebar. How can I get the titlebar back?
[12:27] <watsug> I solved my problem with no border by pressing Alt F3 to open the window menu.
[12:28] <shiggitay_> hello
[12:48] <BluesKaj> watsug,  good tip
[12:54] <watsug> BluesKaj: Is there another way?
[12:58] <BluesKaj> watsug,  dunno
[12:59] <BluesKaj> I always use the borders
[12:59] <watsug> Me too, just tried it out and didn't know how to get them back :P
[13:00] <lordievader> That is allways the problem with that, but it forces you to learn ;)
[13:38] <z4g47> hi, i want conect to #kubuntu-es but show a advice  "#kubuntu-es Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited" some are conected to this channel for invit me?
[14:03] <mparillo> !es
[14:06] <Upside> hello
[14:07] <lordievader> o/
[14:08] <Upside> do you know how to resolve update-mime not found
[14:08] <Upside> ?
[14:08] <Upside> hdd bad sector effect
[14:09] <lordievader> Upside: If you have bad sectors the update-mime is the least of your troubles. Do you have a backup and a new hard-drive under way?
[14:10] <Upside> no i didn't have back up and another hard-drive :/
[14:10] <Upside> am i must re-install?
[14:11] <lordievader> No, take care of your backups first. When you have one bad sector more will follow. Eventually the disk will fail all together.
[14:11] <lordievader> Make a backup, now.
[14:11] <Upside> ok
[14:12] <Upside> but i didn't have another hard-drive or another storage drive
[14:12] <Upside> back up to another partition?
[14:15] <lordievader> That is not going to work. I'm afraid you'll have to buy a new drive to back up your important data.
[14:16] <Upside> yeah i didn't have important data
[14:18] <lordievader> Hmm, that it doesn't really matter. Still bad sectors degrade performance.
[14:19] <Upside> yeah because this bad sector i can't set .jpg to wallpaper :3
[14:20] <Upside> btw how many price to buy new hard-drive?
[14:20] <lordievader> Depends, here (NL) you can get 2Tb for 100 euros.
[14:21] <Upside> can you convert to usd?
[14:22] <Upside> i just need 320Gb :D
[14:23] <lordievader> Upside: Look up a web store in the us ;)
[14:23] <Upside> ok
[14:24] <Upside> btw between external hard-drive and internal hard-drive wich better?
[14:24] <Upside> i use this netbook from my mother office
[14:24] <Upside> so i didn't have netbook or pc
[14:25] <lordievader> The internal is likely going to be faster.
[14:25] <Upside> owh ok
[14:26] <Upside> can internal hard-drive become external hard-drive?
[14:28] <lordievader> An external harddrive is just an internal harddrive with a sata -> usb converter.
[14:29] <Upside> owh thanks and i'm sorry for my bad english :D peace
[14:30] <BluesKaj> I have 2 external drives with esata to sata connections , work well
[14:31] <BluesKaj> no need for usb
[14:31] <Upside> are you using cpu/pc?
[14:31] <lordievader> Yeah, there are others but the most common is sata -> usb.
[14:31] <lordievader> Upside: What?
[14:32] <Upside> no. i ask BluesKaj
[14:32] <Upside> :D
[14:33] <lordievader> Upside: Use someone's nick when you are addressing them.
[14:33] <Upside> i'm sorry :3
[14:37] <BluesKaj> Upside,  I just run the esata to sata cable thriugh a knockout on the back of mypc to the motherboard
[14:41] <BluesKaj> ubottu,  if you have newer laptop then you probly have at least one sata port
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Upside, ^ :-)
[14:44] <Upside> ehh what happen?
[14:46] <BluesKaj> sata is faster than usb
[14:50] <BluesKaj> utt not all laptops have a sata port , best to check first
[14:50] <BluesKaj> but
[14:51] <lordievader> Esata*, esata != sata.
[14:52] <lordievader> Every laptop nowadays has sata, not all have esata ports.
[15:00] <BluesKaj> yes, my lenovo has an esata port
[16:03] <digiorgi> In Konversation how can i disable the server notifications?
[16:07] <ahoneybun> digiorgi:  I only see "Connection Error" in Settings -> Configure Notifications...
[17:06] <sysop2> hi, how can I setup the wireless sharing to use my normal ip range so clients are not behind a nat?
[17:16] <sysop2> I see that dnsmasq is running with this option that says router and a 10. address and my wifi devices get ips in that range so I think I am close. any ideas?
[17:32] <regedit_> halp! mouse stopped working (can still maneuver with difficulties w keyboard) how do i reset it? what's the magic command?
[17:33] <regedit_> it's actually scrolling and even right-clicking, just not moving
[17:46] <regedit_> anyone please??...
[17:46] <lordievader> sysop2: Does your wireless nic support master/ap mode?
[17:47] <sysop2> it seems to. it works fine with the nat.
[17:47] <sysop2> if you know the command to check I will run it.
[17:48] <lordievader> sysop2: Could you provide me with the output of 'sudo iw info'?
[17:48] <sysop2> sure.
[17:50] <sysop2> http://pastebin.com/sqqNK6sd
[17:51] <lordievader> Ah right, I needed  'sudo iw list', sorry about that.
[17:51] <sysop2> oh ok brb
[17:53] <sysop2> under supported interface modes it says AP and AP/VLAN.
[17:54] <sysop2> or do you need the whole thing?
[17:54] <sysop2> it has more modes though.
[17:54] <lordievader> Nope, that is enough.
[17:54] <lordievader> sysop2: You want to look into hostapd, with hostapd you can create an access point for your network.
[17:56] <sysop2> thanks!  I  figured the built in gui might not be able to do this even with some tweeking but at least I have an option.
[18:22] <regedit> please help, touchpad acting erratic
[18:22] <regedit> scroll events when i'm not touching it, movement not registering
[19:27]  * bobbe sucks
[19:28] <bobbe> Okay... works
[20:06] <naftilos76> Hi, i have noticed that playing videos on vlc or dragon i can see something like a line scanning towards the bottom of the video which i would call frame dropping (not sure if that is true). That of course happens only on fast scenes and high resolutions. The cpu is not the issue because it is at 10-15% or something. I am n kubuntu 15.04. Is there anything i could do to make the video perform better? My lcd resolution is 1980x1080 and i am using the
[20:06] <naftilos76> integrated intel graphics in my I7 cpu. Does anybody have anything to advise?
[20:08] <ahoneybun> I have not seen that naftilos76
[20:08] <ahoneybun> but I just play some movies
[20:10] <naftilos76> it is not a big deal, i am just noticing it every now and then.
[20:11] <ahoneybun> naftilos76: your using the nonfree or free driver for the intel card?
[20:12] <ahoneybun> card/board
[20:13] <naftilos76> I am not sure which one it is
[20:13] <naftilos76> how can i know?
[20:14] <naftilos76> i have not added any extra repos to download any deb packages from non-official sources
[20:22] <ahoneybun> naftilos76: sorry had to do something
[20:22] <ahoneybun> naftilos76: you can open up Driver Manager and check
[20:23] <ahoneybun> but most likely you have the free one
[20:24] <naftilos76> I did that, all i can see is "Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode"
[20:26] <naftilos76> this is a laptop and it has also got a Nvidia Gefrce 840M. The same thing happens when i use the nvidia. I switched to the integrated for less consumption
[20:26] <ahoneybun> not sure I' have not see that "line"
[20:26] <ahoneybun> naftilos76: oh you have nvidia optimus
[20:27] <naftilos76> i have disabled nvidia from bios and now i can only see the intel in "driver manager"
[20:27] <naftilos76> it doesn't really make any difference
[20:31] <soee_> its screan tearing
[20:31] <soee_> do you have hybrid graphic ?
[20:31] <naftilos76> yep
[20:32] <soee_> on intel yu have the ame problem ?
[20:32] <naftilos76> on both
[20:32] <soee_> strange it works pretty good for me on intel
[20:32] <naftilos76> not a problem, more like an imperfection
[20:33] <naftilos76> are you on 15.04?
[20:33] <naftilos76> resolution?
[20:33] <soee_> but be sure to disable compositor for fullscreen windows
[20:33] <soee_> and second tging
[20:34] <soee_> Tearing Prevention (vsync): to fulscrean repaints
[20:34] <naftilos76> I just noticed that it does not happens when i switch to full screen!
[20:34] <naftilos76> does not happen
[20:35] <naftilos76> it only happens in window mode
[20:36] <naftilos76> full screen window is the worst case but when i double click on the video and it goes full screen then the artifacts go away
[20:36] <naftilos76> i just realized, sorry guys.
[20:37] <soee_> naftilos76: check if both settings imentioned are set in System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Compositor
[20:40] <naftilos76> i did that and i am still getting the issue.
[20:40] <naftilos76> should i reboot?
[20:43] <soee> naftilos76: nope it should work after setting it
[20:44] <naftilos76> soee_, the setting you are referring to does not get stored. If i get back to the settings it is not selected
[20:44] <naftilos76> i get a warning that this is not compatible with all kinds of graphics cards
[20:44] <soee> ignore this warnign
[20:44] <naftilos76> it could work with the nvidia
[20:46] <naftilos76> i will give it a try
[21:50] <nmgchrome> when trying to send a file to the trash I get a "cannot rename" error
