[01:56] megmpc: I dunno man. I guess ask in #ubuntu. I'm out of ideas [01:56] more specifically, HiDPI on Kubuntu 15.10 [01:57] k ill try, thanks a lot! [01:57] even more specifically, how to extend the display scaling -- which is awesome -- to the initial sddm login screen? [02:02] hardware is built-in Intel Haswell... what I've tried so far: creating 90-monitor.conf with DisplaySize, section cut'n'pasted from xorg.conf that worked on Kubuntu 15.04 on same laptop -- ignored by X [02:03] on attempt to enable more parameters (Viewpoint etc), X hangs on load with soft reboot (ctl-alt-del) possible [02:04] attempt to create a new xorg.conf with Xorg :1 -configure fails with segfault... anyone has any suggestions? [02:15] hi friends [02:17] hello roasted_ [02:17] anybody know offhand if the 15.10 daily includes plasma 5.4 yet? Or is it still 5.3? [02:24] looks like no [02:27] hello folks.
