| luc4 | Hello! I'm totally unable to get audio output, can someone help me with this? | 11:53 |
| lordievader | Does Alsa work? | 11:54 |
| lordievader | luc4: ^ | 11:58 |
| luc4 | lordievader: I was able to listen to something by increasing the volume for the headphones... | 12:03 |
| luc4 | And remove pulseaudio:i386 | 12:03 |
| luc4 | but weird... | 12:04 |
| lordievader | luc4: Removing PA is usually a bad idea. | 12:04 |
| lordievader | luc4: Is anything in alsamixer turned way down? | 12:04 |
| luc4 | no | 12:05 |
| luc4 | lordievader: changing headphone volume results in changing vlc volume... is this correct? | 12:06 |
| lordievader | If flatvolumes in enabled/disabled (not sure which one it is), yes. | 12:06 |
| luc4 | lordievader: no no there is a mess here... | 12:06 |
| luc4 | lordievader: headphones do not work | 12:06 |
| luc4 | lordievader: I plug the headphones in and I get audio on the PC, I unplug and evrything is silent. | 12:07 |
| lordievader | Sounds like an automute feature failing. | 12:08 |
| luc4 | lordievader: ok, not it is better | 12:09 |
| luc4 | lordievader: enabled auto mute and headphones are working | 12:09 |
| luc4 | lordievader: problem now is that every time I plug the headphones in and out, I get no audio from pc | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:10 |
| lordievader | Like I said, sounds like an automute feature failing to do its job ;) | 12:11 |
| luc4 | lordievader: do you know what "speaker" refers to? | 12:12 |
| lordievader | In where? | 12:12 |
| luc4 | kde mixer and alsamixer | 12:12 |
| luc4 | do you think this is an alsa issue? | 12:13 |
| lordievader | No, earlier a driver issue or configuration issue. | 12:13 |
| luc4 | lordievader: this was working properly in 14.10... | 12:14 |
| luc4 | like a kernel regression? | 12:14 |
| lordievader | Perhaps, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. | 12:16 |
| lordievader | First rule out configuration issue. | 12:16 |
| luc4 | How? | 12:17 |
| luc4 | First of all I would like to understand what is that "speaker" volume I see here. That changes when I plugin in and out the headphones. | 12:17 |
| lordievader | Does it mute when you plug in your headphones? | 12:18 |
| luc4 | lordievader: yes | 12:18 |
| lordievader | So they are your speakers? | 12:18 |
| luc4 | lordievader: I don't know... nothing changes if I change that... | 12:19 |
| luc4 | lordievader: I suppose those should be the regular PC audio... | 12:19 |
| lordievader | Play something through your speakers then mute it. | 12:19 |
| luc4 | lordievader: headphones should be... headphones... | 12:19 |
| luc4 | lordievader: what a mess... | 12:20 |
| luc4 | lordievader: ok, playing audio on PC speakers -> changing "speaker" level results in no change. | 12:21 |
| luc4 | lordievader: but if I mute it, also master mutes, and audio goes away. | 12:21 |
| luc4 | lordievader: if I increase master, still no audio. | 12:22 |
| luc4 | lordievader: so changing speaker level results in no change. But if I mute, audio goes away. | 12:22 |
| lordievader | luc4: So does control your speakers? The mute for the speakers? | 12:23 |
| luc4 | lordievader: only mute | 12:23 |
| luc4 | lordievader: just a boolean | 12:23 |
| lordievader | luc4: I know, but does it? | 12:25 |
| luc4 | lordievader: what? Yes, muting it results in no more audio from the pc | 12:25 |
| lordievader | Ok, so 'speaker' is speakers? | 12:26 |
| luc4 | lordievader: yes, but not for the volume level | 12:26 |
| luc4 | lordievader: just for mute/unmute | 12:26 |
| luc4 | lordievader: which is absurd I suppose | 12:26 |
| luc4 | lordievader: volume level is headphone | 12:27 |
| lordievader | That might be due to a strange hardware implementation. | 12:27 |
| lordievader | Anyways, I'd install pulseaudio and pavucontrol and see if your configuration is simply inadequate. | 12:28 |

| luc4 | BluesKaj: in which condition? | 12:39 |
| BluesKaj | with F5 | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | so everything shows | 12:40 |
| luc_ | BluesKaj: what I see is that the mechanism works properly. When I unplug headphones, the volume for headphones is 0 and mutes, speaker instead is unmuted an set to some volume. This is correct, but as "speaker" level controls nothing on this PC, I hear nothing. | 12:45 |
| luc_ | sorry, I was disconnected from irc | 12:45 |
| === luc_ is now known as luc4 | ||
| luc4 | BluesKaj: sorry, I lost IRC connection. | 12:46 |

| soee | huh ? tit is going to remove a lot of apps | 13:02 |
| lordievader | Plasma4 apps ;) | 13:03 |
| lordievader | Come on, you are running a development release ;) | 13:04 |
| soee | i doubt remove kubuntu-desktop is a good idea :-) | 13:04 |
| soee | *removing | 13:04 |
| lordievader | Meh, install it later. | 13:05 |
| lordievader | Kubuntu-desktop is merely a meta-package. | 13:05 |
| lordievader | With a development release you need to be a bit adventurous. | 13:06 |
| soee | yes but not here at work :) | 13:09 |

| BuddyButterfly | hi | 15:46 |
| BuddyButterfly | I am having a very strange issue in Kubuntu 14.04 | 15:46 |
| BuddyButterfly | I have configured a bridge br0 which I control with NetworkManager | 15:47 |
| BuddyButterfly | upon start, br0 gets its ip via dhcp | 15:47 |
| BuddyButterfly | but.... host is not reachable in network! | 15:47 |
| BuddyButterfly | until I do a ping from the host to somewhere. after that ping I am also able to reach it from outside. | 15:48 |
| BuddyButterfly | I am totally lost why this happens. This host also stopped being able to be started via wol | 15:49 |
| BuddyButterfly | happened all of the sudden and I do not know why. | 15:49 |
| BuddyButterfly | interesting is also that I do see the mac of the host in the switch only after issuing this first ping. | 15:51 |
| BuddyButterfly | before this, there is no dynamic mac in switch. | 15:51 |
| BuddyButterfly | any idea? | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | BuddyButterfly: have you tried restarting network manager , I've had to so after eth0 drops sometimes, not often but it happens now and then | 16:04 |
| BuddyButterfly | I have put a nm restart in rc.local. | 16:04 |
| BuddyButterfly | br0 gets a ip and is up. | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | BuddyButterfly: which kubuntu version? | 16:05 |
| BuddyButterfly | 14.04 | 16:05 |
| BuddyButterfly | with nm patch for bridge | 16:05 |
| BuddyButterfly | in /etc/network/interface bridge is set to manual such that nm has it under control. | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | static IP for br0 ? | 16:09 |
| BuddyButterfly | no, dhcp | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | seems you may need a static if you're controlling from the interfaces file thru nm | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | but I haven't used bridging in network manager, I have the modem bridged | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | modem has to be bridged in my case for voip service | 16:12 |
| BuddyButterfly | I have patched nm to be able to have it listed in nm and also run VPNs etc. | 16:12 |
| BuddyButterfly | there is a patch for nm for trusty. | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | yes , i run vpns as well , but that's simple to edit in nm | 16:13 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: Not really. The default version in trusty does not detect bridges. So no active network when u sing a bridge and no vpns via GUI. | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | why are you bridging , first of all | 16:14 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: Really asking me? | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 16:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | Would you suggest not using it because it is something that should not be used? | 16:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | I know, you would like to hear that I am only doing it for fun so I could stop using it. | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | I think bridging should only be used if absolutely necessary, IMO | 16:17 |
| BuddyButterfly | Just imagine the simple use case of a couple of kvm vms bridged to the local lan such to have it get IPs from central dhcp and being reachable in lan as local host. | 16:17 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: lol | 16:17 |
| BuddyButterfly | People say the same of windows 10. | 16:17 |
| BuddyButterfly | should be used only if necessary. | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | kvm vms in thje picture, now puts a different light on things | 16:18 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: and that is? | 16:18 |
| BuddyButterfly | Maybe I have to hacking like lots of people always suggest. | 16:20 |
| BuddyButterfly | and put a ping in rc.local. :-)))) | 16:20 |
| BuddyButterfly | this leads, like often, to have something runner with a workaround but not knowing the cause. | 16:21 |
| BuddyButterfly | does not make ME happy! | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | bridging for networking in kvm for windows guest for example, but Im not going to debate it if you a legit reason ,...sometimes users read things in forums and come in to ask about using certain settings because someone said something positive on a forum which has nothing to do with their situation | 16:22 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: ah, ok, right. | 16:27 |
| BuddyButterfly | kvm is integrated into kernel and relies (which makes sense) on the linux system configuration for networking. | 16:27 |
| BuddyButterfly | so, if one wants to have vm bridged to lan then one has to create a bridge in linux. that easy. | 16:28 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: strange; I use 14.04 and NM bridging, and not seen that issue | 16:28 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: Me too on another host! But just this single host emitts this strange behaviour. | 16:29 |
| BuddyButterfly | I am using same configuration etc. | 16:29 |
| BuddyButterfly | very strange. | 16:29 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: what is the NIC hardware ? | 16:29 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: Let me see... | 16:29 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: I'm thinking it is defaulting to power-save mode | 16:30 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: ah, that could be a valid reason. | 16:30 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: ethtool/mii-tool might reveal something | 16:31 |
| BuddyButterfly | just wanted to ask. | 16:32 |
| BuddyButterfly | will ethtool show the current state? | 16:32 |
| BuddyButterfly | ethtool does not show anything special. link is up. | 16:36 |
| BuddyButterfly | for eth0. so is for br0 | 16:36 |
| BuddyButterfly | how to see power mode for nic? | 16:36 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: first thing to look at is the options for WOL | 16:38 |
| BuddyButterfly | pumbg | 16:38 |
| BuddyButterfly | config g is used | 16:39 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: OK, so the thing should wake up for almost any activity | 16:39 |
| TJ- | what does mii-tool report? anything useful? | 16:39 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: also, ethtool --show-eee ethX" ? | 16:40 |
| BuddyButterfly | product info: vendor 00:07:32, model 17 rev 2 | 16:40 |
| BuddyButterfly | basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok | 16:40 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: and also I wonder if it has tx-lpi enabled? | 16:40 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: right... mii-tool doesn't report so much by default | 16:41 |
| BuddyButterfly | true | 16:41 |
| BuddyButterfly | Cannot get EEE settings: Operation not supported | 16:41 |
| BuddyButterfly | Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) | 16:41 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: OK. Hmmm. It definitely feels like power-save. I wonder if the driver has power options? which driver is it using? "lspci -k" | 16:43 |
| BuddyButterfly | r8169 | 16:44 |
| BuddyButterfly | this is one thing I will keep in mind: Looking for boards with intel nics in future. | 16:45 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: does the PC dual-boot with Windows? | 17:00 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: what do you think? It is a pure Kubuntu ;-) | 17:01 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: I've read that some devices use the wrong driver. R8168 should use r8168 maybe? can you show me the PCI ID shown by "lspci -nn" (the [xxxx:yyyy] at the end of the line) | 17:03 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: I asked since if Windows uses power-saving settings they can be held over by the realtek NIC in some cases, and affect Linux | 17:03 |
| BuddyButterfly | ah, makes sense. | 17:04 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605559 | 17:04 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 605559 in kernel "Windows driver "green ethernet" mode causes problems with Realtek R8169 network card" [Medium,Closed: wontfix] | 17:04 |
| BuddyButterfly | wontfix is funndy..... | 17:04 |
| BuddyButterfly | ;-) | 17:04 |
| TJ- | It's a Windows issue, not Linux, is why | 17:04 |
| TJ- | It's possible that BIOS/firmware settings affect this, especially if PXE is enabled | 17:05 |
| BuddyButterfly | [10ec:8168] (rev 03) | 17:06 |
| TJ- | So it is an 8168 then | 17:07 |
| BuddyButterfly | yes. | 17:08 |
| TJ- | Can you tell which firmware it loaded, from dmesg? The driver shows there are several versions for the 8168. See "modinfo r8169" | 17:08 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: I do not see which firmware is loaded. | 17:12 |
| BuddyButterfly | is this important: | 17:13 |
| BuddyButterfly | r8169 0000:02:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control | 17:13 |
| TJ- | BuddyButterfly: no, many systems don't support ASPM (Active State Power Management) | 17:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | ok, merci | 17:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | then there is nothing else showing that that r8169 is loaded..... | 17:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | any info on the real firmware used? | 17:15 |
| BuddyButterfly | guess I would have to start kernel in debug mode | 17:16 |
| TJ- | or read the source, Luke | 17:16 |
| BuddyButterfly | yep, may the power be with you. | 17:17 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest92264 | ||

| === Guest92264 is now known as fernando12343 | ||
| === fernando12343 is now known as ftorterolo | ||
| qdata | ah - 14.10 expired 23 July, explains that | 17:42 |
| qdata | so sad, as 15.04 is/was a steaming pile | 17:42 |
| qdata | I've looked and looked at distros in an attempt to replace Canonical/Kubuntu with something else but Kubuntu is still the best KDE desktop platform I can find from everything I've tried | 17:44 |
| qdata | so I now am faced with a Firefox that has a vulnerability.... | 17:45 |
| TJ- | use the mozilla-team nightly firefox PPA ? | 17:50 |
| qdata | yeah - might need to look into that, but next up on the list is virtualbox too old to run winderZ 10 | 17:50 |
| qdata | I'm not a total fan of the PPA as I like to stick with 'official' repo distribution channels, but I may have to look at that | 17:51 |
| qdata | I'm not going to waste my time with 15.04 - tried too look at it several times and each time rolled back to my 14.10 clonezilla image | 17:53 |
| qdata | context here is I need my box to be productive for $real_life work, not spending the bulk of my time trying to fix0r broken stuff | 17:54 |
| * qdata proceeds to sit back and cogitate for a while.... | 17:55 | |
| TJ- | So why not stick to 14.04 LTS? | 17:57 |
| qdata | broken intel p_state power management maybe? | 18:01 |
| TJ- | With LTS you can install the HWEs and get a recent kernel | 18:01 |
| qdata | yeah - I'm going to have to do *something*, just not quite sure yet what I want to do | 18:02 |
| user0x | test | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , if I want to keep my fav features and still receive OS support , it looks like I'll have to regress to 14.04 from 14.10 | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | plasma 5/KF5 on 15.04 has dropped too many favourite features for me to use, small annoyances to some, but they're important from my "workflow" standpoint | 18:30 |
| qdata | I really like my 14.10 set up, even Skype seems to keep working | 18:31 |
| user0x | workflow is all. | 18:31 |
| user0x | i just want CUDA to work on my BLender | 18:31 |
| user0x | else I'm stuck on windows still | 18:32 |
| user0x | among other things | 18:32 |
| user0x | Or hopefully there will be another alternative to using CUDA format for Blender Cycles to operate efficiently | 18:32 |
| Pici | /36/36 | 18:33 |
| BluesKaj | I don't really "work" , but it's still important to me not to be annoyed | 18:33 |
| * BluesKaj is retired from the workforce | 18:33 | |
| * qdata has 4 more years then I'm done | 18:34 | |
| BluesKaj | qdata: light at the end of the tunnel :-) | 18:34 |
| qdata | sets the stage for what just recently happened to my best friend - retired at 62, bought a house on the ocean in ecuador for 1/3 of what he sold his house here for, completed his move there and died from a heart attack 1 month later | 18:36 |
| BuddyButterfly | TJ-: at least have found why host is not reachable at boot: was a type in the ip kernel parameter! | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | yup, my oldest brother died 18mos after retirement , he was 63 | 18:38 |
| BuddyButterfly | typo | 18:38 |
| Nkontras | Κανεις Ελληνας εδώ; | 18:39 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: That is often been heard. Guess he was very busy before retirement. Often people stop too fast from 100 to 0. Pace should be reduced gradually | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | BuddyButterfly: unfortuntely he became afflicted with a muscle/nerve disease where the muscles lose all strength which eventually leads to heart failure | 18:55 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: Ah, ok, so he became sick. I am sorry for that. | 18:56 |
| BuddyButterfly | BluesKaj: cu. gtg. | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, it was tragic...worked hard all his life only to have it end it so soon | 18:56 |

| HappyRoey | and other issues. | 19:09 |

| caliculk | Hello, I recently upgraded my ubuntu installation from 14.04 LTS to 15.04, and also went through the installation of Plasma5. Well, I am running into issues with the Plasma install, and was wondering if there was any way to downgrade to Plasma4 in the mean time? | 22:32 |
| unascribed | what kind of issues? | 22:43 |
| unascribed | caliculk ^ | 22:44 |
| caliculk | Sorry... unascribed - https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=127785 basically, when I remote into the machine using RealVNC (which was working fine with Plasma4). | 22:45 |
| noob91 | /topic | 22:46 |
| caliculk | noob91, I am linking that more for the pictures, then for pastebins. Unless you ar eferring to the guidelines part of the topic. | 22:46 |
| unascribed | I don't have much if any experience with VNC, so I don't know | 22:47 |
| caliculk | Its hard to describe, the interface is responsive, but then if I go in the upper-left corner, the screen grays out. I can't use the mouse to interact with the desktop. | 22:47 |
| unascribed | I do know that a lot of my local problems went away when I updated to Weekly CI, so maybe you could try that? | 22:48 |
| unascribed | your .xsession-errors may have some more info | 22:48 |
| unascribed | wait, the upper-left corner is the plasmoid hamburger menu thingy | 22:50 |
| caliculk | Yeah | 22:50 |
| unascribed | try going into desktop settings and turning off the desktop toolbox in Tweaks | 22:50 |
| unascribed | a workaround at best, but a workaround is better than nothing | 22:50 |
| caliculk | The only optionsI have in desktop settings is to modify mouse settins and wallpaper. | 22:51 |
| caliculk | It seems like the KDE doesn't fully load. :/ | 22:51 |
| unascribed | oh, that must be a new feature then | 22:52 |
| unascribed | I'm running the weekly CI build | 22:52 |
| unascribed | if you right-click and choose to create a new default panel, does anything happen? | 22:52 |
| unascribed | or can you not even get the context menu open | 22:52 |
| caliculk | I can't open the context menu with right click. I can only use the hamburger menu for the options listed there. | 22:53 |
| caliculk | Well, I am sure there are more options, but the only way I login with a GUI to this machine is through VNC. If itisn't working properly, I would assume because not all features are being loaded correctly. | 22:53 |
| unascribed | yeah, I have no idea, sorry | 22:54 |
| unascribed | I don't think it's possible to backdate to 4 on Vivid | 22:54 |
| unascribed | since they replaced the packages instead of adding -5 to them | 22:55 |
| unascribed | as I said though, I noticed the majority of my problems go away when updating to weekly, so if you're up for it you could try it: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs#Weekly_Snapshot_.28pretty_stable.29 | 22:57 |
| unascribed | if it doesn't work out a single ppa-purge would undo it | 22:57 |

| caliculk | unascribed, did Kubuntu maintainers remove 4, or did all Ubuntu maintainers remove 4? | 23:05 |
| unascribed | I think it counts as the Ubuntu KDE Maintainers | 23:05 |
| unascribed | not sure | 23:05 |
| unascribed | because I installed 5 on my Xubuntu Vivid install so it would have to be in the main package repo | 23:06 |
| misterno | hello guys | 23:06 |
| misterno | i installed kubuntu 15.04 in VM | 23:06 |
| misterno | it looks slick | 23:06 |
| arcetera | oh yeah, kde5 is fantastic | 23:07 |
| misterno | got a few issues, dunno if anyone can help | 23:07 |
| arcetera | what issues | 23:07 |
| misterno | you mean plasma? | 23:07 |
| unascribed | ^ | 23:07 |
| arcetera | yeah, plasma | 23:07 |
| arcetera | blah | 23:07 |
| misterno | yeah plasma is superb, looks so modern | 23:07 |
| arcetera | plasma4 didn't look good to me, i switched to kubuntu after plasma5 was available | 23:07 |
| arcetera | plasma 4 had too much gloss imo | 23:08 |
| arcetera | anyway | 23:08 |
| arcetera | issues | 23:08 |
| misterno | for starters, my shutdown doesn't seem to shutdown VM completely i have to force it after it goes into black screen, and during booting i get "acpi pcc probe failed" i dunno if that's connected, and it might be just vmware issue | 23:08 |
| misterno | second, how do i disable mousewheel from changing drop down menus on hover? | 23:08 |
| arcetera | that actually happened to me on my macbook pro | 23:08 |
| arcetera | also sec | 23:08 |
| misterno | when i scroll a settings page if i accidentaly mouse over a drop down box it wuold change it and i dont want that | 23:09 |
| misterno | couldnt find option to disable this behavior | 23:09 |
| misterno | third, im trying to update to plasma 5.3.2 that i read was backported and i should add repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 23:09 |
| misterno | i try to do that but nothing happens in muon discover | 23:10 |
| misterno | i dont know how to add that repository | 23:10 |
| arcetera | okay | 23:10 |
| arcetera | can't help you with issues 1 and 2 but i can help you with 3 | 23:10 |
| arcetera | open up console or whatever terminal emulator you use | 23:10 |
| arcetera | (i use yakuake but whatever) | 23:10 |
| arcetera | type "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports" | 23:11 |
| arcetera | then "sudo apt-get update" after it's done | 23:11 |
| misterno | that's the same as adding through gui? | 23:11 |
| arcetera | yeah | 23:11 |
| arcetera | i don't use muon discover myself | 23:11 |
| arcetera | just use cli | 23:11 |
| arcetera | but muon discover is useful for new users | 23:12 |
| arcetera | i've been using linux since age 10 lol | 23:12 |
| arcetera | maybe 9 | 23:12 |
| misterno | im complete newb to linux | 23:12 |
| misterno | installed the other day mint, and now kubuntu | 23:13 |
| misterno | in VMs | 23:13 |
| arcetera | its a learning curve | 23:13 |
| arcetera | also drivers on linux are quite bleh | 23:13 |
| misterno | is there a different taskbar that can have similar behavior like win8/10 taskbar with pinned icons? | 23:13 |
| misterno | i had something similar in mint | 23:13 |
| arcetera | pin? | 23:14 |
| arcetera | as in, just icons | 23:14 |
| arcetera | or | 23:14 |
| misterno | yes | 23:14 |
| arcetera | yeah | 23:14 |
| arcetera | click the three bars on the panel | 23:14 |
| misterno | it basically turns into launchbar as well as taskbar | 23:14 |
| misterno | i know this one can do that but it's not really it | 23:14 |
| arcetera | ah | 23:14 |
| arcetera | ok | 23:14 |
| misterno | it can have pinned icons when app is closed | 23:14 |
| arcetera | i haven't used a windows pc in years | 23:14 |
| arcetera | pretty much all I use is my laptop hah | 23:14 |
| misterno | but what i mean is to simply just have icons on taskbar for every task no labels and then ability to pin them too | 23:15 |
| arcetera | hmm | 23:15 |
| arcetera | you could try a different panel | 23:15 |
| arcetera | you're currently using the default, but there's gnome-panel, xfce4panel, lxpanel, dzen2, lemonbar | 23:15 |
| arcetera | tons of different panels | 23:15 |
| arcetera | look it up, i'm sure one of those would satisfy your needs | 23:15 |
| misterno | this is the task bar of windows 10 im using at the moment http://s9.postimg.org/dh0df8jvj/screenshot_3.png | 23:16 |
| misterno | all the icons are pinned applications, those that are running have a bar under neath | 23:16 |
| misterno | taskbar is called panel in linux world? | 23:16 |
| arcetera | yeah | 23:17 |
| misterno | ok | 23:17 |
| arcetera | as you can easily replace them | 23:17 |
| arcetera | and add multiple | 23:17 |
| arcetera | i could have panels on the top and bottom | 23:17 |
| arcetera | etc | 23:17 |
| arcetera | okay | 23:17 |
| arcetera | so | 23:17 |
| arcetera | to pin an app you can just drag it from the kickoff menu | 23:17 |
| arcetera | into kde panel | 23:17 |
| misterno | i downloaded similar "widget" in mint but wasnt happy with overall behavior it would glitch a lot | 23:18 |
| misterno | now im looking into it on kubuntu | 23:18 |
| misterno | also the peek previews on default panel in kubuntu seem to big, dont know how to make it smaller | 23:19 |
| arcetera | brb rebooting | 23:19 |
| arcetera | just updated to kde 5.3.2 | 23:19 |
| misterno | gonna do it now :) | 23:19 |
| arcetera | oh lol what | 23:20 |
| arcetera | the reboot option broke | 23:20 |
| arcetera | sec | 23:20 |
| noob91 | hello | 23:22 |
| misterno | hello noob91 | 23:26 |
| joshua19832 | hi, some can connect to irc.irc-hispano.org? | 23:49 |
| === arc__ is now known as arcetera | ||
| arcetera | that was more of a pain in the butt than it should have been | 23:54 |
| arcetera | Plasma wouldn't start, had to switch to a tty and run dist-upgrade | 23:54 |
| arcetera | then the compositor on start option was somehow disabled... | 23:55 |
| arcetera | note to self | 23:59 |
| arcetera | run dist-upgrade next time you upgrade kde plasma from ppa | 23:59 |
