[01:23] When i was updating kubuntu 15.04,the plasma crashed.And after updating, I rebooted the systeam.It just showed a blackscreen only with a mouse.Is it a driver problem? [01:23] I'm using GTX970 === kubuntu is now known as Guest51306 === kagemusha is now known as Kak4k3ke [04:24] Why isnt empathy salut registering on mdns? [04:31] Hey Kubuntu friends [04:31] any guesses why plasma just stops responding? [04:31] (is kde now called plasma) [04:31] ? [04:31] I can't left click or right click on anything on the desktop, this would be okay if I was given a konsole [04:32] Cay bad headache? Low electrolyte? [04:32] apparently [04:32] it's doing it both on my laptop and desktop [04:32] 15.04 [04:33] Try asprin? [04:34] sadly, I don't believe that will cure what ailes me [04:34] throwing my server from the balcony might help, but I just finally got passed the bios forcing me to overclock my processor [04:35] (no seriously, it was running at 4.1ghz instead of 3.1ghz so if it spun up to 90% cpu usage it'd cook itself and crash) [04:35] What is the symptoms? [04:36] Boots up, logs in fine, once in I simply can't left or right click on anything but mouse and keyboard still respond [04:36] (I can't ctrl+alt+f1 though, it crashes trying to switch between X and text mode) [04:37] I do however have ssh installed [04:37] There's more to it than heat there's electrical differences. [04:38] these_eyes, in regards to the voltage on the cpu, yeah the bios was out of date with a bug. I was 8 revisions behind [04:38] it's all good now [04:38] It can cause errors. [04:39] Eh, I'd agree but it's happening on my laptop too [04:39] which is clocked fine [04:40] Cay can you send for guns? [04:40] rm -rf ~/.cache/* seems to work as a temporary stop gap [04:41] I keep tellung them to open carry. [04:41] They just make noises. [04:42] "We call police." [04:46] Every citizen can open carry. [04:47] come on man, if you are going to try to troll put more than 10% effort into it [04:47] that's gotta be the laziest trolling I've seen in awhile [04:48] Load up about 10 phone lines. [04:48] On sip. [04:48] careful, you might be chatting long distance [04:49] don't want to pay international fee's for chatting on irc [04:49] Not text. [04:49] Fish dont eat text. [04:50] but dolphins with lasers, those eat tasty texts [04:50] Cay it isnt a troll it is a call to open carry. [04:50] I want to see open carry on my daily walks. [04:50] go forth young man, challenge the world. Just avoid those dolphins [04:50] they are scary little guys [04:53] Some modulation changed recently. [04:54] I think I'm showing my age, so I shall bid adieu before it becomes obvious just how old I am [04:54] Good night, and thanks for all the fish. [04:54] It hurts plazma.

[06:54] Downloaded Kubuntu 15.04 iso, then unetbootin to create a USB Install [06:54] All went well, but when I am lbooting the laptop again, it is stuck on Kubuntu splash screen... [07:36] Good morning. === kubuntu is now known as Guest9447 [07:58] Good morning [08:01] o/ [08:14] hallo all! [08:16] which ubuntu version should i use, which one is stable [08:17] sorry kubuntu ;-) [08:19] is plasma desktop not stable ? before i have some troubles [08:19] If you want stable go with the LTS (14.04). [08:25] in 15.04 gives interesting features [08:26] Yes, if you want new stuff go with 15.04. [08:28] is 15.04 stable enough to work with kontakt and standard programs. [08:29] Haven't tried Vivid in awhile, can't tell. I guess it is stable though ;) [08:32] ok, i jump, to kubuntu with 15.04 because i hate windows so much [08:36] also i hate UEFI secure boot, it make it very hard to install kubuntu. [09:14] js [09:33] someone here u cant help me with GNUsocial ? === or is now known as Guest84908 [10:35] back [10:44] The update manager applet keeps telling me I have 2 upgrades available, but when I click Upgrade it says my software is up to date... [11:11] I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 Precise, but I'm missing some packages from the repository [11:11] I can't find libsdl2-dev [11:12] !info libsdl2-dev [11:12] libsdl2-dev (source: libsdl2): Simple DirectMedia Layer development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2+dfsg1-6ubuntu2 (vivid), package size 1104 kB, installed size 3749 kB [11:12] !info libsdl2-dev precise [11:12] Package libsdl2-dev does not exist in precise [11:12] Xavi92: I guess Precise is too old to have it. [11:12] But apparently Precise is still supported until 2017, isn't it? [11:12] Hey all [11:13] Xavi92: Yes, but that doesn't mean everything is backported to it. [11:13] Hmmm [11:13] How could I get this package without updating the whole thing? [11:15] Xavi92: Depending on how integrated this library is you might backport it manually (install the deb of trusty/vivid), however this is not recommended and might break ~everything. [11:16] Probably [11:16] Apart from that, libsdl2-dev depends on lots of other packages which I don't have, either [11:16] Xavi92: Likely easier to upgrade to trusty. [11:17] !info libsdl2-dev trusty [11:17] libsdl2-dev (source: libsdl2): Simple DirectMedia Layer development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1.1 (trusty), package size 1074 kB, installed size 3671 kB [11:17] Hmm I'm using Precise on a netbook, Trusty is way too heavy for it [11:17] How so? [11:21] Well, I tested it for a few days and it worked pretty slow [11:22] Xavi92: Probably you're referring to the compositor load [11:23] You could switch to LXDE or XFCE. [12:38] Hey. I'm using 15.04 with the latest nvidia driver, but can't get sound through HDMI. On Nouveau driver is the same. even if i set in phonon settings to play sound through HDMI, it doesn't. I installed the pulse audio volume controll app and it says that Digital Stereo HDMI is unplugged. What can i do? I was reading alot of articles on the Web, but nothing helps ;/ === salvatore is now known as daze1 [13:06] sheytan, open alsamixer and make sure your spdif ctl is enabled and unmuted as well as the pcm ctl, those 2 digital ctls feed the hdmi audio out [13:08] sheytan, also in alsamixer disable the automute with the up or down arrow key === sd_ is now known as Guest13855 [13:12] Hi everybody..I am new to kubuntu......I have some basic knowledge of python programming.....is there any option for me to get involved? [13:15] Guest13855: I think so. For example, I believe the installer for Kubuntu is written in python, as is much of the build automation. Best place to offer would be #kubuntu-devel, but I expect things are quiet there until Monday. [13:19] mparillo_: in kubuntu dev page I have seen that I should have a mentor....is there any standard process for that? [13:24] Not that I know of. Basically from what I have seen, you join #kubuntu-devel, say what you know, and (if you have one, your preferred itch to scratch) and somebody replies with a matching need (often their preferred itch), and it goes from there. [13:25] But generally you will be asked to join Launchpad.net, sign the code of conduct and upload your keys. [13:26] If the itch turns out to be upstream, you may also be asked to create a KDE identity. [13:28] So can I can approach anyone there for help? [13:32] Guest13855: you can ask for help to "scratch the itch" if that's what you mean [13:32] kind of quiet there today [13:32] yea it's sunday [13:33] Sorry I am new here...I am not habituated with the terms....can you please elaborate? [13:41] Guest13855: most people are out for the day (I'll be out in a little bit) [13:44] Basically you offer what you know, and what you think you might want to work on (scratching the itch means some little thing that is bothering you that you might want to improve). Yes, you can introduce yourself and ask a question and if somebody is around who can help you will get a response. If you get none, maybe wait a couple of hours and ask again. [13:44] ok...thanks.. [13:44] But if you have nothing particular you want to work on, just a general desire to help, then somebody might ask you to work on his/her perception of what needs improving. [13:46] Guest13855: first thing you'll want to hang around in #kubuntu-devel to see what's going during the day and get to know all the folks. You probably also want to subscribe to the mailing list and offer your help there, there you'll have a wide audience and reach even the people that aren't on IRC all the time [13:47] ok....these informations are very helpful.... [13:50] Guest13855: well, we don't have much written down documentation (most is probably on the trello TODO lists https://trello.com/kubuntu). The best thing really would be to be in #kubuntu-devel, see what's going on, see if there's something you believe you can help with and offer your help for that [13:50] we're short before 15.10 release, so we esp. need help with QA [13:56] can please share some other information I need to know about the community? [13:58] Guest13855: for 15.10 the list of bugs tagged for attention before release is at http://www.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-w-incoming-bug-tasks.html [13:58] Guest13855: you might want to help out with additional triage, or even fixing some if they're trivial [13:58] Guest13855, https://trello.com/kubuntu , http://qa.kubuntu.co.uk/ , http://goo.gl/AOx7bx [14:00] hi everyone [14:01] I'm a newbie on kubuntu and I'm facing some problems during installation/configuration settings. [14:01] Please can someone help me? [14:01] I'm writing from Italy [14:01] thanks in advance everybody [14:02] What are your problems? [14:02] I'm trying to install kubuntu 15.05 [14:02] I'm trying to install kubuntu 15.04 [14:02] kabuby, tell us your problem in more detail, maybe we can help [14:02] on a Thinkpad W530 [14:03] dual boot with efi with Windows 8.1 [14:03] What's going wrong? [14:03] I'm having some big problem with [14:03] Nvidia drivers [14:03] this laptop has 2 video card [14:03] Intel GMA4000 and Nvidia K2000N [14:03] with optimus [14:04] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W530 [14:04] kabuby, install nvidia-prime first otf all [14:04] first try [14:04] after install kubuntu just freeze after grub and with the logo in the center of the page [14:04] I changed bios setting to discrete graphics and disable the intel one [14:05] kubuntu start [14:05] but when I try to run Driver Manager [14:06] the driver manager app freeze when I try to check OpenGL section [14:06] I've tried to download from Nvidia website the latest proprietary driver [14:06] Do you have this certain problem only with Kubuntu? [14:06] but install cannot continue due to plasma...I have to close plasma and run it from shell [14:07] It's first time that I try to install linux on this laptop [14:07] I've installed linux in other notebook and desktop pc [14:07] but no one have this hardware configuration [14:08] after the nvidia driver fail and I found an unofficiale driver "caught" from Driver Manager and try to install it [14:08] but the system cannot complete the startup process. [14:09] I read some forum around [14:09] optimus systems require nvidia-prime on kubuntu , kabuby .... if you'll just stop typing and read for a minute [14:09] and it seem it's a combination of 2 problem...official nvidia driver and acpi with nvidia [14:09] ISorry bluska [14:10] I was just telling all that I've done [14:10] ok. [14:10] how can i find/install nvidia-prime driver? [14:10] it's in the repos/ package manager [14:10] Sorry for mistipyng BluesKaj [14:11] that's ok [14:11] I just try to search for "nvidia-prime" in Muon discover [14:12] but cannot find anything [14:13] kabuby, that's why use just plain muon, it's still better than the muon discover [14:14] Sorry Blueskaj I cannot get it. [14:14] I'm a really newbie [14:14] nvidia-prime might be installed by default, depending on your kubuntu version [14:14] I'm really a newbie [14:14] ok [14:14] How can I check it? [14:15] which kubuntu did you install? [14:15] 15.04 [14:15] x64 [14:16] kernel 19.0-28-generic [14:16] xorg 1.17.1 [14:18] ok, after the nvidia logho flashes try ctl+alt +F1 - F6 which is a virtual terminal aka VT/TTY , login, then do sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt uipdate . Then sudo apt install nvidia-prime , then reboot [14:18] I didn't see the nvidia logo during startup process [14:19] ok do you get any blinking cursor or erro message [14:19] i just saw once after I try to install the driver that device manager [14:20] You want to reverse the order on the apt commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade [14:21] oops yes lordievader is correct kabuby sudo apt uipdate && sudo apt upgrade [14:21] update* ;) [14:22] ok [14:22] yeah, my eyes abit foggy today ..allergies [14:22] can I try via shell now [14:22] or I need to reboot? [14:22] what If I didn't see any nvidia logo? [14:23] try now [14:23] ok [14:25] in a fit of madness i updated the mobo bios today, after booting back into Wily i was shocked, shocked to discover the screen rotation still didn't work. imagine that. [14:25] updated the launchpad bug, i'll see what he suggests next. [14:26] screen rotataion 90 degrees ? [14:26] "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" return me < @MoonUnit the Bios is up to date [14:27] mmm [14:27] Update manager was running on background [14:27] maybe this is the problem why the command was unsuccesfull [14:28] I try after updates finish [14:28] kabuby, yes [14:29] thanks in advance BluesKaj [14:30] MoonUnit`, , if you have a regular BIOS I don't think there are many firmware changes since the shift to UEFI [14:32] I need to restart...se you later. [14:32] I was checking Linux desktop environments and found that kde is most resource hungry...how much RAM do I require for kubuntu 15.04? [14:33] Guest13855: How much do you have? [14:34] 1Gb is recommended minimum, but it's not realistic [14:35] Currently running on a lenovo b40....CDC/2GB RAM [14:35] Guest13855: Would run fine on there, if you don't multitask a lot. [14:36] back [14:37] I try again [14:39] "udo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" some repository return an error 404 not found [14:39] but most are ok [14:39] proceed with nvidia-prime install [14:41] sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade [14:41] yes [14:41] installation complete [14:44] how can I check if everything it's ok? [14:45] you can run startx or reboot [14:46] ok [14:46] see you later :) [14:46] think you should check your bios and re-enable the intel gpu if you disabled it [14:46] and thanks again [14:46] ok [14:47] thank me if you get a dektop :-) [14:47] desktop even [14:51] I'm back... [14:51] BluesKaj you're safe :) [14:53] information center on OpenGL section still freeze [14:53] I know it's not a real test [14:54] How can I check if the driver is loaded correctly?

[14:58] lordievader, it won't load until required afaik [14:59] kabuby, install mesa-utils [14:59] That sounds very strange. But I have no experience with hybrid systems (luckily). [14:59] true lordievader...luckily [15:00] ok [15:00] sorry for my incompetence but...how can I install mesa-utils? [15:00] I try "sudo apt-get mesa-utils" [15:00] with no success [15:01] I thonk some hybrid GPU systems disable (in firmware) all but the PCI config space. So we get the device listed but the driver doesn't load since the GPU IOMEM mapping BARs aren't present [15:02] maybe I can try to disable the intel vga [15:02] sudo apt install mesa-utils [15:02] don't disable anything [15:02] Yes..

[15:14] check your bios , kabuby , make sure the intel is still in use [15:15] the intel driver handles the lighter loads, then the nvidia takes over for the heavier stuff using the switcheroo [15:28] the intel is active [15:28] both graphic card are active [15:28] but it seems nvidia is not working [15:28] and only intel is [15:29] running [15:29] I will try to disable it [15:29] and see if the nvidia-prime driver load correctly [15:29] if this work I will re-enable intel video card [15:29] and look for switching funcionality [15:30] functionality [15:31] see you later === root is now known as Guest79075 [15:37] back again [15:37] situation get worst [15:42] How do I update from 14.10 LTS to 15.04?

[15:54] ZeroEra: I would not recommend it unless you should be giving advice here. 14.04 LTS and 14.10 (non-LTS, but the main edition) were Plasma 4. 15.04 was Plasma 5, and even the 14.10 Plasma 5 Tech Preview upgrade to 15.04 was unsupported (probably because it did not come close to working well). [15:54] kubuntu will work out of the box in ubuntu preinstalled laptops?

[16:55] phone client worms [16:56] works [16:56] BluesKaj http://i.imgur.com/w4HOn0D.jpg [16:57] sheytan, the pcm determines the spdif volume [16:58] BluesKaj: So it's enabled, right? [16:58] and volume is up [16:58] and it should work? [17:00] sheytan, yes just make sure your output in system settings>phonon devices shows spdif and hdmi out [17:02] sys settings >multimedia [17:02] BluesKaj: http://i.imgur.com/ULaPjB6.jpg [17:02] no matter which one i choose, there's still no sound through hdmi [17:03] but, pavucontrol shows HDMI Digital Output (unplugged). Why unplugged? [17:03] can anyone here tell me how to reset timer on screen saver? [17:03] sheytan, is it plugged into the target device ? [17:04] sure :D [17:04] is the device turned on? [17:04] I got the vision [17:04] just no sound [17:04] I have to ask [17:04] i get it, but im not that noob :D [17:04] is it a tv? [17:04] yep [17:05] maybe your sound setup on the tv ic still in analog, check your tv preferences and audio settings [17:05] i did [17:06] and it switches to HDMI automatically [17:06] it's a new tv [17:08] my panasonic needs to be setup according to the source which can be analog or digital [17:08] Well, ill check that again :) [17:55] hi [18:01] Any good qt5 music players that do global shortcuts?

[19:26] bwins, do you get to a blinking cursor or error or what? [19:27] BluesKaj: I can enter my password, cursor changes to an X but nothing more happens [19:28] I can ctrol-alt-f2 to a terminal window and that runs fine [19:32] bwins, ok in the terminal/VT run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, then you'll see some packages install, run startx, and you should be able to get to the desktop after logging in [19:39] Blueskaj: I did a sudo apt-get update/upgrade but didn't try startx again, I did a reboot with no luck [19:40] I'll try startx if you think it might help [19:40] be back in a minute [19:40] no startx won' help [19:40] ok [19:41] when first installed the desktop ran great, so there was an update that messed it up [19:41] bwins, which graphics gpu? [19:42] BluesKaj, intel graphics [19:43] intel HD 3000 graphics on Acer laptop [19:49] Hi, anyone knows why I cannot find my NAS on my network using Dolphin? I am running Kubuntu 15.10, but I had the same problem on 15.04. I get the message "unable to find any workgroups on your local network" It works fine if I write smb:/"ipaddress" [19:49] BluesKaj, back in a few - will try a few things [19:51] dajomu: Are you in the same workgroup? (This whole workgroup thing is a mess anyways) [19:51] bwins, try , sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel [19:51] lordievader: yes I am [19:52] Hmm ,I guess you could add the smb link to your places. [19:52] dajomu: ^ [19:52] lordievader: that is a solution, but I was interested in why it does not work [19:53] dajomu: Perhaps a firewall somewhere, I guess a packet capture will tell you. [19:53] lordievader: no firewall. I have no problems browsing to the nas using windoes [19:53] windows [19:53] dajomu, try using dolphin>network>add network folder [19:54] or android [19:55] BluesKaj: thanks, that actually worked [19:57] But it still is a bit irritating that Dolphin does not find it by scanning. [19:58] dajomu, never used any scan option in dolphin, never heard of it. [19:59] BluesKaj: when you go to network, and then click or double-click network again it will scan for shared drives [20:01] sorry, try click on samba shares instead. then it will scan [20:05] I don't use samba much , prefer sftp for linux machines or the windows network drive for windows machines [20:06] BluesKaj: The Windows network drive is samba ;) [20:06] Samba is the reverse engineerd CIFS protocol, CIFS is used in Windows to share files. [20:09] well it' s smab yes, but I don't have samba gui installed [20:09] or smb even [20:10] No need, samba is a protocol. [20:18] samba is the F/OSS server project name [20:23] I do agree about the windows homegroup , it's a mess since W7 [21:50] Hello, I have a boot issue.. I have two Linux distros installed. An old kubuntu one drive and another kubuntu on a newer drive. Problem is that it always tries to boot to into the older kubuntu. [21:51] Shows the old kubuntu splash and then sits there with a black screen. [21:51] ugly_cat: the PC BIOS/UEFI boot manager chooses which device to boot from [21:51] It boots into grub fine though. [21:52] Even when I select the newer kubuntu it shows the old splash. [21:52] I have to go into the new kubuntu recovery and then select resume boot to get into the new one. [21:59] hmmm [21:59] ugly_cat: did you ever remove the old installation? or both are there side by side? [22:04] There side by side. [22:05] I pretty much just use the old one as storage. [22:05] ugly_cat: why not just reformat it? :) [22:06] ugly_cat: that way it'll be actually a storage, and update-grub won't add it :) [22:07] ugly_cat: but I assume, you can just get rid of /boot in the old installation, and update-grub won't add it to the grub menu, but, I see no good reason to simply reformat it, and make your directories for storing files as needed [22:07]
