| Dragnslcr | Ah, good point. Less likely to be a graphics issue, then. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Dragnslcr | If it is installing grub to the wrong hard drive, the easiest fix is to disconnect all of the drives other than the one you want to install to. | 00:01 |
| surgy3 | thats not easy..... thats a pain...... i told it to use the entire disk why didnt it install grub to that disk as well? | 00:01 |
| surgy3 | anyways i know theres a command for this i just dont know it..... | 00:02 |

| jonbeebe | hi all, I'm having a strange problem with Muon and having trouble finding a solution | 05:35 |
| jonbeebe | I did a google search, and while others are having the same problem, their solution isn't working for me | 05:35 |
| jonbeebe | it's an authentication error | 05:36 |
| jonbeebe | it's not asking me for my password | 05:36 |
| jonbeebe | The solutions I've read online involved install polkit-kde-1 (and rebooting) | 05:36 |
| jonbeebe | that hasn't worked, and in face, polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 is a running process on my system | 05:36 |
| valorie | jonbeebe: there has been a bug filed about that | 05:37 |
| jonbeebe | oh so it's a known bug? that's good | 05:37 |
| jonbeebe | I thought I saw a closed bug, for an earlier version of ubuntu | 05:37 |
| jonbeebe | but i'm on 15.04 so I thought maybe it was a problem with my configuration somehow | 05:37 |
| valorie | it sounds like you are a knowledgable user, so you might comment on it | 05:38 |
| jonbeebe | ok i'll take a look at it | 05:38 |
| valorie | on bugs.kde.org | 05:38 |
| jonbeebe | cool, thanks | 05:38 |
| valorie | yw | 05:38 |
| valorie | for now, using apt is probably the best work-around | 05:38 |
| jonbeebe | it's not a major deal, as I normally do all of my installing/updating via command-line as you suggested | 05:39 |
| jonbeebe | but the update notifier pops up every now and then | 05:39 |
| jonbeebe | and it'd be nice to just be able to click it | 05:39 |
| valorie | right | 05:39 |
| valorie | I agree | 05:39 |
| valorie | it's been a bit buggy | 05:39 |
| jonbeebe | now it pops up and i have to dismiss it and then go into the terminal, just a little annoying | 05:39 |
| valorie | the maintainer is working on problems, so your input would be useful | 05:39 |
| jonbeebe | i'm searching for the bug report now, definitely will do | 05:40 |
| jonbeebe | out of curiousity, what's the general consensus (among KDE users) about plasma 5? | 05:43 |
| jonbeebe | i read kde4 wasn't received very well when it came out | 05:43 |
| valorie | I'm excited about it, and have had few problems | 05:43 |
| valorie | I've been using it via project neon for nearly a year | 05:44 |
| valorie | those who have problems don't like it much -- I hear from them in #kde | 05:44 |
| valorie | so it's hard to say | 05:44 |
| valorie | most distros don't offer it yet | 05:45 |
| jonbeebe | that's awesome, so you've seen it mature over time | 05:45 |
| valorie | oh yes | 05:45 |
| jonbeebe | i'm really liking it myself | 05:45 |
| valorie | it was missing quite a bit at first | 05:45 |
| valorie | stability has gotten better as well | 05:45 |
| jonbeebe | like you said, i've had few problems as well | 05:46 |
| jonbeebe | just mainly this muon thing | 05:46 |
| jonbeebe | but that's definitely no deal breaker | 05:46 |
| valorie | we had extra challenges in Kubuntu because we had also to deal with lightdm > sddm | 05:46 |
| valorie | and then systemd | 05:46 |
| jonbeebe | ahh | 05:46 |
| valorie | but since we're done dealing with that, we're ahead of the game | 05:46 |
| jonbeebe | yeah that sounds rough | 05:46 |
| valorie | imo | 05:46 |
| jonbeebe | definitely | 05:47 |
| valorie | I'm already running 15.10 on my new little travel notebook | 05:47 |
| valorie | runs really well | 05:47 |
| jonbeebe | nice, that's great to hear | 05:47 |
| jonbeebe | i'm on a *very* low-spec machine myself | 05:48 |
| valorie | easy on the battery, wifi and everything works out of the box, etc. | 05:48 |
| jonbeebe | and 15.04 is running fine for me, plasma 5 and all | 05:48 |
| jonbeebe | that's great | 05:48 |
| valorie | cool | 05:48 |
| jonbeebe | i have a desktop machine, but i have to be portable, so i prefer using this laptop | 05:48 |
| * valorie has only laptops | 05:48 | |
| valorie | I like small | 05:49 |
| jonbeebe | it's actually a chromebook and the whole thing is running from an sd-card, so i'm really proud of this system in that it only cost me about $250 but i'm able to do all my development for work on it when i'm not near my desktop | 05:49 |
| valorie | very nice! | 05:50 |
| jonbeebe | and plasma 5 runs great on it, i was surprised | 05:50 |
| jonbeebe | i really expected it not to | 05:50 |
| jonbeebe | but xfce ran really great, and i wanted kde so i thought i'd give it a shot | 05:51 |
| jonbeebe | i'm glad i did | 05:51 |
| valorie | that's very good to hear | 05:51 |
| jonbeebe | @valorie - are you a KDE contributor? | 06:35 |
| valorie | jonbeebe: yes | 06:48 |
| valorie | still recovering from jetlag after flying home from Akademy | 06:48 |
| jonbeebe | awesome. what do you work on primarily? | 06:53 |
| valorie | I'm in the community working group, and student programs (gsoc, etc) | 06:54 |
| valorie | sorry, but midnight approaches and my jetlag is making me go to bed! | 06:55 |
| jonbeebe | no problem :) | 06:56 |
| jonbeebe | thanks for your help | 06:56 |
| jonbeebe | (and actually responding, i'm new to IRC and I find it's pretty quiet a lot of times) | 06:56 |

| erkan^ | Hello, I am a new beginner of Kubuntu. Where can I find "color invert"? | 09:38 |
| lordievader | erkan^: Color invert? | 09:39 |
| erkan^ | omkeren, lordievader | 09:39 |
| lordievader | erkan^: What? | 09:39 |
| lordievader | Invert color? | 09:40 |
| lordievader | Under plasma4 that is a kwin effect. I suppose it still is under Plasma5. | 09:40 |
| erkan^ | Yes, do you know that? | 09:40 |
| erkan^ | https://www.google.nl/search?q=invert+color&client=ubuntu&hs=kLN&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIz9HO4ZiZxwIVgbgUCh1PQQhL&biw=1366&bih=638 | 09:41 |
| soee_ | itis the first effect on the list | 09:42 |
| erkan^ | what do you mean, soee_? | 09:43 |
| === drawkward_away is now known as drawkward | ||
| lordievader | ^ that. | 09:47 |
| lordievader | erkan^: Go to the kwin effects, it is likely the first. | 09:47 |
| erkan^ | I saw "kwin scripts" only, lordievader | 09:48 |
| lordievader | soee_: Could you guide him to the kwin effects. I am on plasma4. | 09:49 |
| soee_ | erkan^: open System Settings -> Desktop Behaviour -> Desktop Effects | 09:50 |
| erkan^ | ok i go try soee_ | 09:51 |
| erkan^ | I use Dutch, but I cannot find "Desktop effects", soee_ | 10:17 |
| soee_ | erkan^: are you sure you are on Plasma 5 ? | 10:19 |
| soee_ | enyway type in console: kcmshell5 kcmkwineffects | 10:19 |
| erkan^ | no idea, i am on Kubuntu 15.04, soee_ | 10:20 |
| lordievader | 15.04 has Plasma5. | 10:21 |
| soee_ | lordievader: but the effect doesn't seem to work | 10:22 |
| soee_ | if i check it and apply changes, nothig changes | 10:22 |
| lordievader | That I cannot test... I'm not on Kubuntu ;) | 10:22 |
| soee_ | i doubt relogin is required | 10:23 |
| lordievader | It works here ;) (Gentoo Plasma4) | 10:23 |
| soee_ | ah no it works | 10:24 |
| soee_ | erkan^: you have to check Invert effect, apply changes and than you can use 2 shortcuts to invert colors of whoel desktop or current windows: META + CTRL + U or META + CTRL + I | 10:24 |
| erkan^ | where can I "META" on my keyboard, soee_? | 10:28 |
| erkan^ | YES!!! | 10:29 |
| erkan^ | it works now | 10:29 |
| soee_ | erkan^: it is FN key on laptop or probably with widnoes logo in desktop | 10:29 |
| erkan^ | META is Win LOGO | 10:29 |
| CrowX- | Does kubuntu 15.04 have the "default kde look" available? | 10:29 |
| erkan^ | thank you | 10:29 |
| erkan^ | I see color inverts now | 10:29 |
| CrowX- | cause I've no idea what people were thinking when they changed it | 10:29 |
| soee_ | default kde look ? | 10:30 |
| erkan^ | why does KDE call "META" instead of "Win LOGO", soee_? | 10:30 |
| soee_ | there is no Win logo key, it just meta or functional key | 10:30 |
| CrowX- | soee_, the blue stuff, and the menu difference is what i mean | 10:30 |
| erkan^ | they can call "Win LOGO" too, than people can find easy | 10:30 |
| soee_ | CrowX-: the blue stuff ? :) | 10:31 |
| CrowX- | soee_, the menu | 10:31 |
| CrowX- | i want my old menu back :p | 10:32 |
| soee_ | erkan^: on you don't always have jey with win logo on keyboard | 10:32 |
| CrowX- | the menu used to have an option to search stuff | 10:32 |
| erkan^ | ok | 10:32 |
| soee_ | CrowX-: change menu type (alternative) | 10:32 |
| soee_ | CrowX-: ulock widgets, rightclick on menu icon and pick Alternatives | 10:32 |
| soee_ | than you can switch menu type to what you want | 10:33 |
| CrowX- | soee_, so, everything can be configured back to how older versions of kubuntu looked like, right? | 10:33 |
| soee_ | i don't know how many chnges you have and how deep they are | 10:33 |
| soee_ | to be sure you have completely defautl settings are used, you woud have to remove/empty .kde and .config folders | 10:34 |
| erkan^ | I have a question: Why hasn´t a system instelling "Desktop Effect" , soee_ | 10:34 |
| soee_ | but keep in mind that than you will loose all application configuration etc. | 10:34 |
| soee_ | erkan^: it has | 10:34 |
| soee_ | erkan^: in System Settings you have to first click "Desktop Behavior" | 10:35 |
| === drawkward is now known as drawkward_away | ||
| erkan^ | I cannot find Desktop Behavior too | 10:35 |
| soee_ | oO | 10:35 |
| erkan^ | I have found: It is "Gedrag van bureaublad". than I have found "Desktop effects", soee_ | 10:38 |
| erkan^ | Gedrag van bureaublad is same Desktop Behavior | 10:39 |
| soee_ | well i do not know how the sections names loook like in Dutch version :) | 10:39 |
| erkan^ | My English is no good. I am learning the English language :) | 10:40 |
| erkan^ | How do I disable left top ? | 10:42 |
| erkan^ | of the desktop | 10:42 |
| soee_ | erkan^: in the same section where you had Desktop Effects, there is section called "Screen Edges" | 10:43 |
| erkan^ | ok | 10:43 |
| soee_ | you can enable or disable actions for each screen corner there | 10:44 |
| erkan^ | thx so | 10:47 |
| erkan^ | soee_: I have found it | 10:47 |
| jinxi321 | hi | 10:47 |
| soee_ | hiho jinxi321 | 10:49 |
| erkan^ | hi madam jinxi321 :) | 10:50 |
| lordievader | erkan^: Good to hear you fixed your problem :) | 10:51 |
| erkan^ | (-: lordievader | 10:52 |
| jinxi321 | I am male ;-) | 10:56 |
| jinxi321 | I installed Kubuntu 15.04 this week. I have to say I am very impressed. I would like to say thank you to every one that has contributed to this OS. | 10:57 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:29 |
| kamil_ | BluesKaj: hi | 12:32 |
| kamil_ | BluesKaj: i managed to resolve (or workaround) my problem | 12:33 |
| kamil_ | BluesKaj: i downgraded kernel, and removed thermald and it works ok oO | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | unfortunately 15.04 is going to remain clunky for a week or 2 , don't think plasma 5.4 is going solve all it's ptoblems either | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | kamil_: ^ | 12:35 |
| kamil_ | for now ill stick with older kernel | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | kamil_: how old and which kerenel? | 12:49 |
| BluesKaj | Wily uses 4.1.0-3, doubt that kernel is default on Vivid yet | 12:50 |
| kamil_ | on 3.19.0.25 is bad, i have now 3.19.0.20 | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | then you just needed to choose that in grub | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | and why remove thermald? | 12:54 |
| kamil_ | no, i needed to install, because i am removing old kernels, but anyway it helped | 12:54 |
| kamil_ | i dont know, which one thing helped, it could be kernel or thermald (i have read that this can be cause too) | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok then updating and upgrading will have to be on hold for a while | 12:54 |
| elvis__ | plasma 5 in kubuntu 14.04.03? | 14:13 |
| elvis__ | kubuntu 14.04 update included new plasma 5.x | 14:15 |
| elvis__ | please! yes or no? | 14:15 |
| soee_ | elvis__: no, there won't be Plasma 5 in 14.04 | 14:16 |
| elvis__ | ok thanks! | 14:17 |
| soee_ | Kubuntu supports Plasma 5 only in 15.04 and developement version 15.10 | 14:17 |
| elvis__ | im wainting for this! | 14:17 |
| soee_ | for what ? :) | 14:18 |
| elvis__ | another stable distro with plasma 5? | 14:18 |
| elvis__ | experiments! | 14:18 |
| tyrog | Hi, how do I change the system language in Kubuntu 15.04/15.10? I know that in Ubuntu there is a simple interface for doing that, but I can't find it in KDE... | 14:18 |
| tyrog | *kubuntu | 14:18 |
| soee_ | tyrog: there is section for this in System Settings | 14:19 |
| soee_ | its called Regional Settings | 14:19 |
| tyrog | soee_: But that doesn't install the missing language packages for Libreoffice, for example | 14:19 |
| soee_ | if you change language Kubuntu might want to download new translatons and maybe relogin to reset session | 14:19 |
| soee_ | tyrog: and LibreOffice doesn;t have in settings option to install it ? | 14:20 |
| tyrog | soee_: I don't think so :S | 14:20 |
| tyrog | soee_: And it doesn't download anything no matter how I move the languages to the right panel | 14:21 |
| soee_ | try installing manually translation package for example: libreoffice-l10n-es | 14:21 |
| soee_ | to get spanish | 14:21 |
| soee_ | but still probably you will have to change it manually in LO settings | 14:22 |
| soee_ | i'm not sure ow deep integration LO has with KDE | 14:22 |
| soee_ | so can't tell if system should or not change language automaticaly | 14:23 |
| tyrog | soee_: Specifically with KDE5, it seems bad :P | 14:23 |
| tyrog | thanks | 14:23 |

| virgil | hey guys, i'm having some trouble booting kubuntu from a usb stick | 16:43 |
| virgil | can someone give me a little help? | 16:43 |
| surgy | i can try :) i still kindof a noob too but i just went through that. whats going on? | 16:43 |
| virgil | hey surgy, thanks! | 16:44 |
| soee_ | virgil: what kinf of problem ? | 16:44 |
| virgil | yeah, i'm kind of a noob too | 16:44 |
| virgil | ok, so I am using a 16gb stick | 16:44 |
| virgil | made it using universal usb installer | 16:44 |
| virgil | and I was able to run kubuntu for a couple of times, but now after I press the "try kubuntu" button, the screen stays black | 16:45 |
| virgil | if i press the power button, i can see some text saying that there is no space left | 16:45 |
| virgil | tried to search for this issue, but couldn't find something related | 16:46 |
| surgy | maybe a resolution problem? | 16:46 |
| virgil | at some point I was able to see the mouse pointer, but now I don't see that either | 16:46 |
| virgil | i don't think this is resolution related, because if I press the power button, i can see some terminal output | 16:48 |
| surgy | its just a live install? | 16:48 |
| virgil | yes | 16:48 |
| surgy | then just remake the usb drive | 16:48 |
| virgil | already tried that | 16:48 |
| virgil | even increased the persistent file size | 16:49 |
| surgy | then its a hardware issue | 16:49 |
| surgy | when the screen turns black and you press cntrl alt F1 does it give you a login prompt? | 16:49 |
| virgil | i pressed ctrl alt f1 | 16:50 |
| virgil | and some text appeared | 16:50 |
| virgil | not text actually | 16:50 |
| virgil | looks corrupted to me anyway | 16:50 |
| surgy | ? | 16:51 |
| virgil | got it | 16:51 |
| virgil | pressed ctrl alt f2 and i got the login | 16:51 |
| surgy | should have a login prompt | 16:51 |
| virgil | ok i got access to the terminal | 16:51 |
| virgil | whew | 16:51 |
| virgil | great | 16:51 |
| surgy | ok so kubuntu is booting you just have a problem with X starting | 16:51 |
| virgil | thank you surgy | 16:51 |
| surgy | np | 16:51 |
| virgil | yes, this seems to be the problem | 16:51 |
| surgy | type startx | 16:51 |
| surgy | and it will give you some output. and will be a clue as to why x isnt starting | 16:52 |
| surgy | the more clues you have the better the guys here can help you | 16:52 |
| virgil | it says "fatal server error: no screens found" | 16:52 |
| surgy | ok | 16:53 |
| surgy | what video card do you have? | 16:53 |
| virgil | aah, I believe it's nvidia 8600 but i can't remember exactly | 16:54 |
| surgy | back in the day we generated a xorg.conf file and sometimes it didnt auto configure. but theres a new system and im not sure how it works | 16:54 |

| alket-web | hi all, i can't login to plasma5 with my account, i installed openbox and im talking from firefox now, what I did was , I tried to play a wine game and crashed, and I hard rebooted | 19:53 |
| Toast | Hi, My Kubuntu 15.04 install has lost all its menus and its desktop + the alt+F2 menu comes up, but can't launch anything. Can someone help me debug the problem please? | 20:48 |
| valorie | Toast: can you do `plasmashell &` ? | 20:53 |
| valorie | and if so, does plasma restart? | 20:53 |
| Toast | plasmashell reports done, but no shell in sight. | 20:54 |
| valorie | urgh | 20:54 |
| Toast | Is there a log I can look at? | 20:54 |
| valorie | first, try `startx` | 20:54 |
| Toast | It's also started me with mirrored screens rather than two separate screens. | 20:54 |
| valorie | so something IS startinh | 20:55 |
| valorie | g | 20:55 |
| Toast | Yes, I do have a desktop. | 20:55 |
| valorie | kwin at least | 20:55 |
| Toast | I have my previous windows open. | 20:55 |
| Toast | Luckly that includes a terminal, as alt+f2 doesn't work properly. | 20:55 |
| valorie | ok, let's see if it is a systemd problem | 20:56 |
| Toast | OK... | 20:56 |
| valorie | I think the proper command is `systemctl --restore` | 20:56 |
| Toast | If it helps, the last thing I did on a working system was launch dolphin as root to try and copy files from my main hdd to an external memory card. | 20:56 |
| valorie | I'll google that as I can't quite remember | 20:57 |
| valorie | oh yikes | 20:57 |
| valorie | !root | 20:57 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:57 |
| valorie | not what I was thinking of, ubottu | 20:57 |
| valorie | !sudo | 20:57 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:57 |
| Toast | ubottu: I ran dolphin using sudo. That runs the command as root. | 20:57 |
| ubottu | Toast: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:57 |
| valorie | right, for starters that should have been `kdesudo` not `sudo` | 20:58 |
| Toast | even from the command line? | 20:58 |
| valorie | second, you probably messed up permissions in your ~/home | 20:58 |
| valorie | yes, because you were not running a cli application | 20:58 |
| valorie | kdesudo for all gui apps | 20:58 |
| Toast | OK | 20:59 |
| valorie | but really, probably it should not have needed sudo at all | 20:59 |
| Toast | Probably. | 20:59 |
| valorie | !chown | 20:59 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:59 |
| Toast | Would resetting the permisions on my .kde area help? | 20:59 |
| valorie | best to now chown -R your /home | 20:59 |
| valorie | you are using 15.04? | 20:59 |
| Toast | Yes. | 20:59 |
| valorie | most stuff is now in .config and .local | 21:00 |
| valorie | so do all three | 21:00 |
| Toast | OK, I can do those 3. | 21:00 |
| Toast | I'll do the whole of my home area if that doesn't work. | 21:00 |
| valorie | right, won't take too much longer, except for the time checking | 21:01 |
| Toast | Do I need to log out to test if it worked? | 21:02 |
| Toast | OK, I'll try it. | 21:03 |
| Toast | valorie: Thanks. That's a large improvement, though I'm still missing the K menu. I think I may be able to add it back, though I don't know where my old one went. | 21:08 |
| Toast | Still, I have a desktop now and the alt+f2 launcher works. | 21:08 |
| valorie | add it from the "hamburger" menu | 21:10 |
| valorie | it's just a widget | 21:10 |
| valorie | and pro-tip: if you right-click on it, you can see the alternative launchers | 21:10 |
| * valorie goes off to pack for Yet Another Trip | 21:10 | |
| Toast | valorie: Thanks. I added the default one. | 21:11 |
| Toast | I'm also packing. Enjoy you're trip. | 21:11 |
| Toast | your | 21:11 |
| valorie | ty | 21:11 |
| alket | hi, i can't login to plasma5, it kicks me out | 22:30 |
| CrowX- | I just installed kubuntu 15.04 and I've noticed that some applications aren't showing in the system tray | 22:53 |
