roasted__is there a kubuntu channel for 15.10?04:02
strayPuppyyer on it04:03
roasted__any of you cool kids running plasma 5.4? Curious about something I noticed in the fullscreen dash. Wanted to ask around about it.04:03
roasted__I see now that 5.4 is coming (or here?) to 15.04 via backports. I just went for 15.10 thinking that was the only option.04:04
roasted__this is what I'm seeing. I search for a file and it comes up 4 times. Eh? http://i.imgur.com/imZpIFF.png04:10

hateballCarl_Atnip: Do you have a question?07:23
lordievaderGood morning.07:23
Carl_Atnipyes, how to UNINSTALL applications07:24
hateballCarl_Atnip: Have you installed them using Muon?07:24
hateballThe graphical software installer07:24
hateball!muon07:25
ubottuMuon is the current Kubuntu package manager. Please see http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/introducing-qapt-and-the-muon-package-manager/ for an overview07:25
Carl_Atnipno, I wanted libreOffice5, but it was not in Muon, so I went to the LibreOffice website to download and install07:25
hateballThat's terrible ancient that factoid...07:25
hateballCarl_Atnip: So you installed using dpkg commands I guess?07:26
Carl_Atnipyes07:26
lordievadersudo apt-get remove <package-name>07:26
Carl_Atnipand I don't know how to remove the old version07:27
soeesometimes --purge option might be useful07:27
hateballCarl_Atnip: Oh you want to remove the version installed with Kubuntu?07:27
lordievadersoee: Depends, if you want to configuration gone too, then yes.07:28
soeelast time i tried LO5 from their ppa it makes some conflicts for me07:28
Carl_Atnipyes07:28
hateballCarl_Atnip: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-*" should be sufficient, and hopefully not touch what you installed manually07:28
Carl_Atniphold on07:29
hateballIf it does... then you can just run the dpkg routine again. At any rate you will not lose any data07:29
Carl_AtnipThanks - Where to complain about something07:30
Carl_AtnipI don't know the channel for that07:30
hateballCarl_Atnip: You're probably better off using this !ppa tho https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa07:31
hateball!ppa07:31
ubottuA Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge07:31
hateballThat way you dont have to manually fiddle with packages07:31
hateballCarl_Atnip: It depends what the complaint is, but most things are considered bugs07:32
hateball!bug07:32
ubottuIf you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers.07:32
Carl_AtnipProblem, I am using Kubuntu 15.10 with Plasma5 and I don't know where to add the ppa's07:32
lordievaderCarl_Atnip: What ppa's?07:32
Carl_AtnipMy complaint is not a bug, but my scanner worked in ubuntu, but doesn't work with kubuntu07:33
hateballCarl_Atnip: Follow the instructions on the PPAs, which are usually opening a terminal (Konsole) and pasting some commands07:33
lordievader!addppa07:33
ubottuA !ppa can be added using a single command «  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details07:33

alvinWhat's the difference with the Xorg-edgers PPA?10:37
soeealvin: i think in xorgedgers there is more various packages that driver and thay can break your system - that is my experiance10:40
alvinI see that graphics-drivers takes the nvidia drivers from xorg-edgers10:41
alvinI need those newer drivers now on Kubuntu, to make the boot screen visible when using encryption. Might switch to graphics-ppa. It looks like it changes less.10:42

regeditjust wanted to report a sort-of security issue (too lazy to file a bug or anything) FWIW: the kubuntu/plasma session login system seems to get thrown off for a bit if plugging in a 2nd monitor, and for a few seconds may display a flash of the desktop & visible applications etc. before properly blocking it with the login view16:11
regeditif any sensitive content were on screen, someone could get a glimpse of it for a few sec16:11

sithlord48idk but kde will be16:12

sithlord48irc plasma 5.4 has a wayland backend to test with16:13

geniiregedit: This also happens with Nvidia cards in general16:21
regeditgenii: never on windows, for example16:23
geniinvidia linux driver, more specifically. The card keeps a cache onboard which it shows momentarily before it's re-initialized by X  for the login screen16:25
sithlord48i think issues like that are part of why wayland16:31

Guest84852I had to install Kubuntu in legacy mode, and when I first ran the installer i had an error installing GRUB19:09
sithlord48ok19:10
Guest84852I managed to work around this with aforementioned legacy mode, but now I cannot see any oof y HDD in uefi or bio19:10
sithlord48non of you hard drives are listed in your bios?19:10
sithlord48the machine boots?19:10
Guest84852sorry, the machine boots in legacy19:11
Guest84852but when I try and boot in uefi I can not see my HDD19:11
sithlord48is your disc GPT or MBR formated ?19:12
Guest84852I think MBR19:13
Guest84852but I will check19:13
sithlord48i think only GPT works with UEIF19:13
metallicyes19:13
Guest84852stupid question19:14
metallicon my father's computer, which has Windows 10 and secure boot and UEFI, he can boot Kubuntu by first accessing UEFI and enabling «legacy boot mode»19:14
Guest84852how do i check in kubuntu? the partition manager doesn't want to tell me19:14
metallicGuest84852: the partition manager does tell you19:14
metallicclick on one of the menus, I think it is «view»19:15
Guest84852they are in md-dos19:15
metalliclet me start the program19:15
sithlord48ms-dos = MBR19:15
Guest84852thank you19:15
Guest84852so what are my options, is running in legacy ok?19:15
sithlord48sure19:15
metallicas I said in my father's computer that works, but every time he wants to boot Windows he has to switch legacy to the other option19:16
sithlord48the only differance i have noticed when using legacy on UEFI machines is the bios output maybe a different size19:16
sithlord48UEFI it might be full res . legacy maybe 640x480 , only that screen that shows you bios boot up stuff (19:17
Guest84852Hmm, ok. No problems with resolution or drivers, it was just very strange. I've had no problems with ubuntu and fedora in the past and UEFI19:18
Guest84852thought I had bricked myself for a solid minute at one point XD19:18
metallicI still have BIOS19:18
sithlord48i use UEFI on my newer laptop and BIOS mostly everywhere else19:19
Guest84852so I have Kubuntu installed on dev/sda, and for some reason also in dev/sdb19:19
Guest84852would it be fine to just format sdb?19:19
Guest84852did you manage to install on uefi then sithlord?19:19
metallicGuest84852: do you have a USB stick attached to the computer?19:20
Guest84852not any more.19:20
metallicthen sdb is a secondary storage device19:20
sithlord48well i made and EFI partition then when doing the discs i added it to my fstab as /boot/EFI . and installed grub19:20
sithlord48grub2 .. there are other boot managers that work better with efi from what im told but i have only really used grub2 for it19:21
Guest84852oh, so it's running alongside windows, I had no problem when dual booting, but ditched windows and that's when i ran into prlem19:21
sithlord48the disk has to be GPT partition scheme for it to work correctly19:21
sithlord48not me i have only linux on that machine19:21
Guest84852Hmm, ok. Do you know if there is a way to remount a device and have it be seen in uefi? Do i reformat to GPT then mount it back to dev/sda?19:23
sithlord48you need to reformat it to GPT type and redo your partitions . you MUST add a EFI one (iirc FAT or FAT32 is the format)19:24
sithlord48the EFI partitions is where the bootloader gets put. your mount point will be /boot/EFI\19:24
Guest84852ok19:26
