h4ml3thi all, the panel below is often frozen because of some application opened I guess, how can I "reboot" it?07:48
h4ml3tby "panel below" I mean the panel at the bottom, but also the desktop is not clickable anymore07:49
lordievaderh4ml3t: Can you still drag windows around?07:50
h4ml3tbut I can still switch windows with Alt+Tab or scroll desktops with ctrl+alt+arrows07:50
h4ml3tsure lordievader !07:51
lordievaderh4ml3t: Then it is likely plasmashell, open a terminal kill plasmashell and restart it with 'nohup plasmashell&'.07:51
h4ml3twindows and application are fine07:51

misternoreinstall08:08
SilentGhostmisterno: reinstall what?08:09
misternosudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop08:09
misternosame for plasma-desktop08:09
lordievaderThose are meta-packages, reinstalling them does nothing.08:11
lordievaderSilentGhost: Do other themes suffer the same fate?08:11
SilentGhostyeah, it pretty much did nothing08:11
misternoi had my breeze theme messed up08:12
misternoand this sorted it08:12
SilentGhostwell, selecting oxygen, for example, does not seem to fix fonts08:12
SilentGhostor icons08:13
lordievaderSilentGhost: Fonts are a different setting, they are not included with the theme.08:13
lordievaderSame for the icons.08:13
SilentGhostlordievader: I tried reinstalling breeze-icon-theme but that didn't seem to help either08:15
lordievaderSilentGhost: Could you send a screenshot of the problem?08:16
lordievader!screenshot08:16
ubottuScreenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here.08:16
SilentGhostlordievader: let me reboot, since at least dolphin looks fine, and see whether anything changed08:21
SilentGhosthere are the missing icons https://imgur.com/a/CiMRr and here is the wrong fonts: https://imgur.com/3Zpd59108:30
SilentGhostsorry it took me so long08:30
lordievaderFor the icons are you referring to the white ones in the menu or the missing ones among the hardware section?08:32
lordievaderNot really sure what is wrong wit the font.08:32
lordievaderwith*08:32
SilentGhostlordievader: the sizes, let get another one08:33
SilentGhostlordievader: not just hardware section, shortcuts and connectivity are missing08:33
=== Yukkii is now known as Yukkino
SilentGhostlordievader: of course, icons are missing all over the place, not just in this view08:33
lordievaderHmm, under Wily my Breeze icon theme doesn't show missing things. Do you have the backports installed?08:38
SilentGhostlordievader: yes, and it worked just fine until I restarted the machine about an hour ago08:38
lordievaderHmm, lets see if I can reproduce it on Vivid.08:39

jemandHi, I'm having trouble after connecting a second screen on Kubuntu 15.04 Plasma5.3.09:20
jemandIt freezes after a short while (2-5min). First the windowbar - then the rest.09:20
jemandAny clues on that? (restoring graphics...???)09:20
lordievaderSilentGhost: After upgrading Vivid to the backports I cannot reproduce your problem.09:20
SilentGhostlordievader: yes, as I said, it all seemed to work just fine, until I restarted earlier09:21
SilentGhostlordievader: is there something that would let me reset much of the plasma to the "factory" settings?09:22
lordievaderI restarted too ;)09:22
jemandit's NVIDIA GT216GLM  Quadro FX 880M09:22
lordievaderSilentGhost: You could create a new user and see if it suffers of the same problem.09:22
SilentGhostlordievader: yeah, I believe it would09:23
vividjemand: lucky you, my desktop turns into a prism of lights when i connect a second monitor to it09:23
lordievaderSilentGhost: Have you tested it?09:24
SilentGhostlordievader: I will, give me a sec09:24
jemandvivid: now tat I restarted several times I'm coming forward to meet your status... all disappears09:25
jemandas I red Plasma5.4 should solve the probs - but where can I dl it?09:27
jemandIt's out since 3 days now ??09:27
lordievaderjemand: Plasma 5.4 hasn't even been packaged for Wily yet. Let alone for Vivid.09:28
jemandbut Plasma5.3 just fails and I don't see a solution09:28
vividplasma 5.10 will probably be stable09:28
jemand;-)09:29
lordievaderjemand: I'm sorry to hear that.09:29
jemandis there no reset routine to get the status before the fails?09:29
lordievaderjemand: What do you mean?09:30
jemanda command line routine to get rid of NVIDIA driver and restore Noveau?09:30
vividdont you just use the driver manager?09:31
lordievaderAh, "dpkg -l | grep nvidia| awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get purge" <-- that will fail, review the package list first then add '-y' to the apt-get command.09:32
jemandvivid: I have no GUI @all09:33
SilentGhostlordievader: I'm happy to report that the new user did have exactly the same problems09:40
lordievaderHmm, I'd be happy if it didn't...09:40
lordievaderNow you don't really know where the problem is... Or at least, I don't.09:41
jemandas I red through the boards it's a real showstopper09:41
jemandTHX lordievader . It worked fine for me!!09:48
lordievaderjemand: You are back to Nouveau?09:49
jemandlordievader: jep  and I'll stay with it until Kubuntu 15.10 ;-)09:53
jemandlordievader: BIG THX you saved my day!09:54
lordievaderNo problem.09:54

soeehi, kamil_, well there are small problems with dependiencies11:07
mparillokamil_: Sorry, no idea, but how did you upgrade? Did you use the kubuntu-devel-release-upgrader? I still had this error yesterday. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/146433011:07

kamil_mparillo: what are differences betwen kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade and do-release-upgrade -d?11:08
lordievaderkamil_: Do you get errors when trying to install ktorrent?11:13
mparilloI think the Kubuntu version launches a KDE wrapper.11:15
kamil_i think i just reinstal whole system, its always better than upgrade, and i had thoughts about it some time ago11:37
leumasHi everyone, i installed Kubuntu on vmware and just decided to try out Plasma 5.4. Installe the backports ppa repository recently and I havent most of the features of 5.4. Any ideas when this will come around to the backports ppa11:48
lordievaderleumas: What version of Kubuntu have you installed?11:49
leumas15.0411:49
lordievaderleumas: That one doesn't have 5.4 (yet). 15.10 has the beta of 5.4. Wily will likely first get 5.4, perhaps it will be backported to Vivid later, but perhaps not.11:50
leumasThanks for that insight. I will wait for the 15.10 upgrade11:52

ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD).
