[00:00] <Dragnslcr> Ah, good point. Less likely to be a graphics issue, then.
[00:01] <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?
[00:02] <surgy3> anyways i know theres a command for this i just dont know it.....
[01:40] <surgy> hello
[01:40] <surgy> ok so i have everything running great except for my tablet
[01:42] <surgy> i have a huion tablet and i need help configuring it. it currently does not show up in the "tablet" menu in input devices.
[01:43] <surgy> can someone please help me get my tablet working? i know its supported by kubuntu. i just dont know where to start
[02:51] <edition> In ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/.customized/colors, what settings can I append to ensure that all of the text is readable?
[02:51] <edition> ie: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/91707
[05:35] <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
[05:36] <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
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <jonbeebe> i'm searching for the bug report now, definitely will do
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <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
[06:35] <jonbeebe> @valorie - are you a KDE contributor?
[06:48] <valorie> jonbeebe: yes
[06:48] <valorie> still recovering from jetlag after flying home from Akademy
[06:53] <jonbeebe> awesome. what do you work on primarily?
[06:54] <valorie> I'm in the community working group, and student programs (gsoc, etc)
[06:55] <valorie> sorry, but midnight approaches and my jetlag is making me go to bed!
[06:56] <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)
[09:38] <erkan^> Hello, I am a new beginner of Kubuntu. Where can I find "color invert"?
[09:39] <lordievader> erkan^: Color invert?
[09:39] <erkan^> omkeren, lordievader
[09:39] <lordievader> erkan^: What?
[09:40] <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?
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <soee_> itis the first effect on the list
[09:43] <erkan^> what do you mean, soee_?
[09:47] <lordievader> ^ that.
[09:47] <lordievader> erkan^: Go to the kwin effects, it is likely the first.
[09:48] <erkan^> I saw "kwin scripts" only, lordievader
[09:49] <lordievader> soee_: Could you guide him to the kwin effects. I am on plasma4.
[09:50] <soee_> erkan^: open System Settings -> Desktop Behaviour -> Desktop Effects
[09:51] <erkan^> ok i go try soee_
[10:17] <erkan^> I use Dutch, but I cannot find "Desktop effects", soee_
[10:19] <soee_> erkan^: are you sure you are on Plasma 5 ?
[10:19] <soee_> enyway type in console: kcmshell5 kcmkwineffects
[10:20] <erkan^> no idea, i am on Kubuntu 15.04, soee_
[10:21] <lordievader> 15.04 has Plasma5.
[10:22] <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 ;)
[10:23] <soee_> i doubt relogin is required
[10:23] <lordievader> It works here ;) (Gentoo Plasma4)
[10:24] <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
[10:28] <erkan^> where can I "META" on my keyboard, soee_?
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <soee_> CrowX-: the blue stuff ? :)
[10:31] <CrowX-> soee_, the menu
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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
[10:35] <soee_> erkan^: in System Settings you have to first click "Desktop Behavior"
[10:35] <erkan^> I cannot find Desktop Behavior too
[10:35] <soee_> oO
[10:38] <erkan^> I have found: It is "Gedrag van bureaublad". than I have found "Desktop effects", soee_
[10:39] <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 :)
[10:40] <erkan^> My English is no good. I am learning the English language :)
[10:42] <erkan^> How do I disable left top ?
[10:42] <erkan^> of the desktop
[10:43] <soee_> erkan^: in the same section where you had Desktop Effects, there is section called "Screen Edges"
[10:43] <erkan^> ok
[10:44] <soee_> you can  enable or disable actions for each screen corner there
[10:47] <erkan^> thx so
[10:47] <erkan^> soee_: I have found it
[10:47] <jinxi321> hi
[10:49] <soee_> hiho jinxi321
[10:50] <erkan^> hi madam jinxi321 :)
[10:51] <lordievader> erkan^: Good to hear you fixed your problem :)
[10:52] <erkan^> (-: lordievader
[10:56] <jinxi321> I am male ;-)
[10:57] <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.
[10:58] <lordievader> jinxi321: \o/
[10:59] <audreeliss> Yes, great distribution Kubuntu :)
[11:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:32] <kamil_> BluesKaj: hi
[12:33] <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
[12:35] <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_: ^
[12:40] <kamil_> for now ill stick with older kernel
[12:49] <BluesKaj> kamil_:  how old  and which kerenel?
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Wily uses 4.1.0-3, doubt that kernel is default on Vivid yet
[12:51] <kamil_> on 3.19.0.25 is bad, i have now 3.19.0.20
[12:53] <BluesKaj> then you just needed to choose that in grub
[12:54] <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
[14:13] <elvis__> plasma 5 in kubuntu 14.04.03?
[14:15] <elvis__> kubuntu 14.04 update included new plasma 5.x
[14:15] <elvis__> please! yes or no?
[14:16] <soee_> elvis__: no, there won't be Plasma 5 in 14.04
[14:17] <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!
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <soee_> tyrog: and LibreOffice doesn;t have in settings option to install it ?
[14:20] <tyrog> soee_: I don't think so :S
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:40] <Botifarra> Guys, is there a way to click on a download in Firefox and open it with Dolphin INSTEAD of Gnewview?
[14:52] <mparillo> Right Click?
[14:57] <Botifarra> It opens GnewView
[15:01] <BluesKaj> Botifarra:  open in folder?
[15:02] <Botifarra> Yes, instead of using Dolphin, firefox opens Gnewview
[15:03] <BluesKaj> Botifarra:  are these downloads jpegs/pictures ?
[15:04] <Botifarra> b
[15:04] <Botifarra> BluesKaj: nope, any kind of file. .Zip, for example.
[15:04] <Botifarra> This always happened to me, using Kubuntu,
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Botifarra:  what about a different browser?
[15:07] <Botifarra> Yo don't use Firefox'
[15:07] <Botifarra> ?
[15:11] <BluesKaj> I use FF and google-chrome, FF no longer supports certain flash pugins that soem websites still use
[15:14] <BluesKaj> bo sound slike a file association problem, you must have gwenview as the default link to FF downloads or some such
[15:14] <BluesKaj> Botifarra:
[15:15] <Botifarra> ok, thanks BluesKaj !
[15:54] <surgy> when i try to install soething from muon discover it prompts for my sudo password. i enter it and then there is a little red x next to the package and it doesnt install
[15:56] <BluesKaj> what about apt-get in the terminal , surgy
[15:56] <surgy> BluesKaj, wow your still around :) anyways yeah i installed the same package in terminal
[15:56] <surgy> 0 errors
[15:58] <BluesKaj> good , just muon discover as a reference for package names and use the terminal to install them ..I have no idea why muon doesn't work.
[15:58] <BluesKaj> just use
[15:58] <Guest55561> ciao
[16:00] <surgy> BluesKaj, that kindof sucks but i guess it works.... wished i had the nice gui
[16:02] <BluesKaj> surgy:  could be a problem with kwallet, but tinever use kwallet so it's a mystery to me.
[16:05] <oruc> test
[16:06] <oruc> Hi !
[16:07] <BluesKaj> hi oruc
[16:07] <surgy> so i cant watch netflix..... chromium says "err_too_many_redirect" and when i try to watch google play it says "the video format is not supported"
[16:08] <BluesKaj> surgy:  try google-chrome instead
[16:10] <surgy> BluesKaj, unable to locate package
[16:12] <surgy> nope apt-cache search chrome doesnt show a "google-chrome"
[16:13] <BluesKaj> surgy:  get i from the google-chrome site and download the deb package , it has a builtt in installer for debian/ubuntu OSs
[16:16] <surgy> BluesKaj, ok i got it now how do i remove an icon from the panel?
[16:18] <BluesKaj> which kubuntu?
[16:19] <surgy> nvm i got it thnx though
[16:43] <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?
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <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?
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <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"
[16:53] <surgy> ok
[16:53] <surgy> what video card do you have?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <surgy> maybe BluesKaj can help
[16:56] <excognac> hi all. am on live usb now. recently I had trouble logging on my laptop: i use 12.04LTS, my hard disk has several bad sectors, my fan has trouble with gearballs. If I enter my password, spash screen shows hdd thendrops me back to login screen. I also tried text mood, it contains a lot of weird characters, doesn't really lets me log on. Any ideas?
[16:59] <virgil> surgy thanks, I think i can manage to go on from here, i'll just use the command line
[17:00] <surgy> np
[17:02] <excognac> i meant ball bearings in terms of fan. doesn't really relevant though.
[19:53] <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
[20:48] <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?
[20:53] <valorie> Toast: can you do `plasmashell &` ?
[20:53] <valorie> and if so, does plasma restart?
[20:54] <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.
[20:55] <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.
[20:56] <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.
[20:57] <valorie> I'll google that as I can't quite remember
[20:57] <valorie> oh yikes
[20:57] <valorie> !root
[20:57] <valorie> not what I was thinking of, ubottu
[20:57] <valorie> !sudo
[20:57] <Toast> ubottu: I ran dolphin using sudo. That runs the command as root.
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <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] <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.
[21:00] <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.
[21:01] <valorie> right, won't take too much longer, except for the time checking
[21:02] <Toast> Do I need to log out to test if it worked?
[21:03] <Toast> OK, I'll try it.
[21:08] <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.
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[22:30] <alket> hi, i can't login to plasma5, it kicks me out
[22:53] <CrowX-> I just installed kubuntu 15.04 and I've noticed that some applications aren't showing in the system tray
[22:54] <CrowX-> Skype wasn't showing at first, but I solved it by installing sni-qt and sni-qt:i386.
[22:54] <CrowX-> However, upwork team app is still not showing in the tray
[22:54] <CrowX-> and it worked fine on kde4 under gentoo
[22:55] <CrowX-> what could be the problem and how do I solve it?
[22:55] <CrowX-> I've just noticed, hexchat too is lacking from the tray
