lordievaderGood morning.07:19
Newb101Hello there.07:27
Newb101By the name, I bet you can see I am a newb. I am going to have some very stupid newb questions. Can you help me?07:28
lordievader!ask | Newb10107:29
ubottuNewb101: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience07:29
Newb101!ask I see that there is a new version of Kubuntu. I'm not sure if I am still on 14. Muon doesn't say there's a new version to upgrade. Am I doping something wrong?07:31
lordievaderNewb101: What does 'cat /etc/issue' return?07:32
Newb101Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l07:33
lordievaderLTS, by default, do not offer to upgrade to non LTS releases.07:35
Newb101Is that why, because I have the LTS?07:35
lordievaderBesides there is no direct path from 14.04 to 15.04.07:35
lordievaderAnd 14.10 being EOL doesn't make it any easier.07:36
Newb101So, is it not worth it?07:36
lordievaderIf you really want it I'd reinstall 15.04 rather than upgrade.07:36
Newb101Will it erase data?07:37
Newb101And programs?07:37
lordievaderDepends on how you reinstall ;) If you have a seperate /home only the programs are lost.07:37
Newb101I have most of my files saved on a seperate harddrive. I just have a lot of programs with specific configurations.07:38
soeei think there should be some wiki tutorial that explains how and why users shoudl use separtae partition for home dir :)07:38
lordievaderIt's strange that the default is still one large /07:39
Newb101Once 15.04 has an LTS release, will it show up as an upgrade?07:40
lordievaderNewb101: The next LTS is 16.04, not upcoming release but the one after.07:41
Newb101Oh. I think I get it. And, when that release come out, it will ask me if I want to upgrade automatically?07:42
soeeNewb101: 16.04 will be released next year07:43
lordievaderMonth 04 of year 2016 --> 16.0407:43
Newb101In April, I assume . . .07:43
Newb101Yeah.07:43
Newb101I think I get it.07:43
Newb101I guess I'm fine with 14 for now. It seems like it's been good to me.07:44
Newb101Correct me if I'm wrong. Only the even numbers have LTS?07:44
soeeit should be stable :) 15.04 or 15.10 is for those who want to try/use new Plasma :)07:45
lordievaderNewb101: Indeed ;)07:45
lordievaderEvery even .04 release is an LTS.07:45
Newb101You guys have been immensely helpful.07:45
Newb101And, when that comes out, My update software will notify me and ask if I wish to upgrade.07:46
lordievaderYes.07:47
Newb101Have you guys tried the new Plasma?07:47
soeeNewb101: sure :) i ahve it on all my machines07:47
Newb101Do you like it thus far?07:47
soeeon my laptop, workstation and even my parents use it ;D07:48
soeeNewb101: yes i love it, more than KDE407:48
Newb101This is my first real experience with Linux, and I'm liking it for the most part. Still a lot to get used to. I have Windows on my other hard dreive, but have not booted into it more than twice. I think it's  safe to say I'll stick with this for a bit.07:50
=== audreeliss is now known as Guest63375
Newb101Thank you guys for  taking time to address my questions, I know it must be . . . frustrating to talk with someone who knows so little; but your patience is appreciated.07:53
soeeNewb101: download Kubujtnu 15.04 or 15.10 iso and create bootable USB and play with it07:53
soeeNewb101: we all was one day where you are now :)07:53
Newb101I may do that. I have plenty of processing power to run it in a VM07:54
soeeNewb101: with bootable USB you can run latest Kubuntu without installing it (live session)07:54
Newb101Is this technically IRC?07:54
Newb101'Cause I don't understand IRC at all. Is there like an "IRC for Dummies" page?07:56
soeeNewb101: what is IRC ?07:58
soeethis chat ?07:58

frendaWhat's the correct pronounciation for Kubuntu: /ku:bu:ntu:/ or /kʌbʌntʌ/ or sth else?09:15
FritigernFrenda, watch this video and you will never forget :-)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9xSQX2QgTY09:16
frendasure09:17
lordievaderWhy not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luvk83_S-AA09:17
FritigernBecause if anyone knows how to pronounce the word, it's archbisschop Desmond Tutu, since he speaks the language where the word is from :-)09:19
FritigernBesides, my video shows a good song :-)09:20
frendahow can I restart plasma without losing running apps? (plasma is not up properly, the taskbar is not available and also kickoff, krunner)09:24
frendaI run firefox at the beginning and now ths my desktop: http://uploadkon.ir/fl/dd/7508009:26
frendaI mean i didnt wait to it load desktop completely09:27
frendano menu, no taskbar, no background, no plasma!09:27
frendaand, right-click on desktop does not work!09:28
lordievaderfrenda: Kill plasmashell and start it again? (Or perhaps first restart kwin)09:28
FritigernI often had the problem where the taskbar won't load, in my case it has to do with ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc somehow losing part of the configuration that will build make the taskbar be drawn09:28
lordievaderkwin_x11 --replace09:28
FritigernAnother issue that I have run into is ksycoca keeping a stale file, thus preventing plasma from loading altogether. I have made a little script formyself that will kill plasmashell, delete the offending file, recreate it, and start plasmashell again.09:31
frendadidn't work :( --> https://gist.github.com/BaflyIr/e38fe646058dfa30281109:31
lordievaderfrenda: Then kill plasmashell and restart it.09:33
frendaby service?09:34
lordievaderNo, the process kill it, then start it with 'cd ~ && nohup plasmashell&'09:35
frendaI didn't kill anything, but 'cd ~ && nohup plasmashell&' solved the proble, though I got this: [1] 208209:37
frendalordievader: thank you09:37
lordievaderWasn't plasmashell running at all?09:37
frendalordievader: It seems it wasn't!09:39
lordievaderHmm, does that happen everytime you login?09:39
frendaoften, if I don't wait enought to let him to loaded completely; I mean if I run sth immediately09:41
frendajust in that case09:41
frendalordievader: `kwin_x11 --replace` --> it didn't back to command prompt, it's showing 'kwin_core: Done.'; Can I Ctrl+C?09:42
lordievaderHmm, that should fork into the background.09:45

lordievaderhateball: But it should do it itself ;)09:50
lordievaderfrenda: Check the kinfocenter.09:50
frendaIs it an app command line interface?, lordievader09:51
frendaapp for *09:51
lordievaderKinfocenter is an application.09:52
lordievaderI guess dbus could tell you somewhere.09:52

lordievaderUnder plasma4 that is the command, does autocomplete help?09:55

RiddellI've no idea, it's a silly name anyway, (it's a gnome conspiracy)10:10
lordievaderOh well, I suppose if we take over the world it doesn't matter ;)10:12

AbuDharhey.. how to install KDE plasma on Ubuntu 14.04? is it possible+14:19
AbuDharPlasma 5.3**14:19
lordievaderNope.14:20
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest36462
lordievaderYou need to upgrade to 15.04 for that.14:20
AbuDharawwww but 14.04 is LTS14:21
lordievaderPrecisely ;)14:22
BluesKajAbuDhar:  I believe you can add plasma 5,2 to kubuntu 14.1014:30
lordievader14.10 is EOL.14:30
AbuDharI guess I can get Plasma 5.1.2 at least for Ubuntu 14.04 ? :D14:31
lordievaderNo.14:31
Unit193AbuDhar: That's the point, it IS an LTS, not a "latest and greatest" release.14:32
lordievaderWell I suppose you could compile Plasma5 yourself but you'll only run into a mountain of trouble.14:32
lordievader^^ that precisely.14:32
lordievaderStable and old rather than new and perhaps unstable.14:32
AbuDharwell I will just wait till the next LTS from Ubuntu :)14:32
AbuDharwhen will that be? anyone?14:33
lordievader16.04 ;)14:33
AbuDharany release date lordievader ?14:35
lordievaderYear 16, month 04.14:35
[Relic]has session saving been fixed in 15.04 yet?  does it properly save where programs are running on each different virtual desktop when you shut down a restart yet?14:35

yueyueHello all. I was just trying to update my wily installation. The dependencies can not be solved - is the repository broken at the moment?15:04
BluesKajyueyue:  which mirror do you use ?15:11
yueyueBluesKaj: I seem to only use the master: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily main restricted15:12
yueyueI can't seem to pinpoint which packages break dependencies. It seems a version bump of something could be the reason. I have lots of packages which are not in the repository anymore.15:14
yueyueI ran apt with the pkgProblemResolver debug option: https://paste.kde.org/p0yysht3g15:16
yueyueI have a "mint condiction" virtual machine. It seems to have the same issues. So it's nothing installation related. The repostitory is probably really broken. Can I report this somewhere?15:17

akasichi all, my battery doesnt charge, it stays at 0%.  a few days ago it was working correctly, i dont know if it may be the kernel or what, any help? thnx16:32
BluesKajakasic:  does it charge when the OS is shut down?16:36
BluesKajakasic:  also check your battery slot and connection, make sure the battery is not even slightly loose.16:37
akasicwell, it shows the light as charging, yes, but i think that not as it should16:38
akasicok, ill do it, thnx BluesKaj16:38
akasici must say that when i unplug the cable, its stays for 40 seconds and then shuts16:39
BluesKajperhaps power management isn't setup properly in system settings16:39
BluesKajok, but first check your power management setings16:40
akasicill set them to default, but the problem persist16:40
akasicyesterday16:40
TJ-akasic: check the battery status: "  for n in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/*; do [ -f $n ] && echo $n = $(cat $n); done "16:40

akasic0 and 4530000016:43

akasici think the problem came the day, taht in the tray, my battery was ''detected'' as pega16:43
BluesKajakasic:  how old is the battery ?16:44
akasicone year and a half16:44
TJ-"charge_full" is the battery telling how much charge it can hold. If that is 0 it suggests the internal cells have failed16:45
BluesKajoh my, that's not very good ...is it original or a replacemenr?16:45
akasicso, the battery is simply broken? thats a bit depressive, how can simpy broke, i didnt do anything. yes it is the original16:46
akasicso, i must open the battery to ensure that the cables are well pluged? it is a built in one16:47
TJ-akasic: batteries fail, they are  complex mixes of chemicals16:47
akasicthnx for the help you both16:47
akasicopen the pc i mean16:48
akasicmaybe the lasts storms simply fried it16:48
TJ-akasic: you will need to obtain a replacement. If it is an internal battery you'll also need to open the PC and exchange the batteries. If you're not sure about that look online for photos of other people doing it with your model of PC16:48
akasicyes , i done it, but i was refering to make sure the cables were attached to it correctly, thnx anyway16:49
TJ-akasic: connections must be fine ... the battery is talking to the PC over the IIC communications bus16:50
akasicit what him suggested me, first16:50
akasicok16:50
akasicwell, ill go, thnx again and cya16:51

talmageI changed it the laptop screen and an external  monitor to just the laptop screen.16:59
talmageOne other difference is that yesterday, I had a wired network connection.16:59
akasichey BluesKaj and Tj, i unplugged the cable and my battery seems to be working now... thhe indicator stills in 0, and the data i give to you remains the same, but at the moment, im near 5 min (it lasted 40 seconds) and its doing right16:59
