[00:12] What the... I just rebooted my machine and my .config doesn't seem to be read. Icons are missing or icons from the humaniy set are used. Also stuff requires a double-click to open now. The hec is going on??? .config and .local are still there, and are accessible, and have the proper perms and owner [00:49] Well now. I renamed .config in an attempt to restore default settings, but the icons are still MIA [00:49] The icons being from the Breeze theme [00:55] cant get logged into new install of 15.10 with plasma [00:55] enter passwd, hit return, screen blanks for few secs then kicks me back to login screen [01:07] willief: you could try switching to a terminal (Alt-Ctrl-F1), see if you can login from that, and if so start looking for errors. [01:08] Im trying that with jasonvw in #kde right now [01:09] willief: OK, good luck. In `journalctl` look for "dm" (I can't remember if Kubuntu uses lightdm, or kdm, etc. as its greeter), there should be some error somewhere [01:09] what is the KDM display managere service called I thought it was kdm but service stop kdm fails and I dont see an obv alternative [01:10] journalctl.... god [01:10] err good hint .... thx [01:10] willief: it's OK ;) ... beats grinding through all the /var/log stuff (assuming all the /var/log routes into journalctl) [01:12] it's sddm btw [01:15] Anyone, no suggestions for my issue? [01:18] Switching icon themes does not work. I tried that but nothing happens. Missing icons remain missing, and the rest are Humanity iconsw. I want my Breeze icons back! [01:22] Ah, the joys of being ignored [02:01] willief: Do you have /home mounted separately from your kde/sddm install? [02:02] Or rather, is your $HOME directory potentially not mounted when you login? That can cause a similar sounding problem for me. Probably this isn't your problem, but worth a check === toby is now known as Guest41027 [04:03] I have a dual boot PC...windows won't boot, a certain AVAST file is preventing it from loading....I am on kubuntu at the moment, is it possible to remove avast while using linux on my windows partition?

[10:39] Good morning. === zul_ is now known as zulgaban === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [12:41] 'Morning folks [12:53] I'm on Kubuntu 15.10 and have a laptop with one of those combined Intel & Nvidia graphics. Is Nouveau the only driver which will work for that combination? My screen sometimes starts to lag while doing normal desktop things (watching video, moving mouse around, typing, etc.), and I have been trying the proprietary drivers, but they don't seem to work, and I always have to revert to Nouveau from a console. Nouveau seemed to work smoothly on 15. [12:53] 04 however, so I'm really confused about what the problem is... [12:54] anyone have any clues? [12:55] proprierty drivers dont work in 15.10 with nvidia-prime [12:55] veqz, how do you mean the proprietary drivers don't work ? [12:55] what's nvidia-prime? [12:56] nvidia-prime shouild be installed by default anyway [12:56] when rebooting, the screen remains blank. I go to a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and uninstall nvidia stuff, and reinstall x and nouveau, and after a reboot I'm up and running again [12:57] I had to use Nouveau on 15.04 as well, so I don't have any real complaints about it, except for in 15.10, where it tends to suddenly lag for a second every ~5-30 seconds [12:58] veqz, make sure as soee_ says that nvisia-prime is installed, if not install it, then install the proprietary driver. It's a hit and miss with theose hybrid gpus systems [12:58] just apt-get install nvidia-prime? [12:59] yes with sudo [12:59] hm. seems it wasn't installed [13:00] so should I try just going to the Driver Management in System Settings and choosing one of the binary nvidia drivers and see if it goes better this time? [13:01] BluesKaj: it wont work [13:01] soee_, I've seen it work a few times [13:01] we can't use proprierty drivers in 15.10, Ubuntu simply is broken in this part [13:02] what's changed since 15.04? [13:02] veqz, you're on 15.04 right ? [13:02] no 15.10 [13:02] oh [13:02] in 15.04 - yes it worked fine, they broke it in 15.10 [13:03] should I uninstall nvidia-prime again? :) [13:05] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1501041 [13:05] Launchpad bug 1501041 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "No visible display in non gnome sessions when using nvidia drivers via nvidia-prime until screen goes to sleep, then waked up" [Critical,Confirmed] [13:05] hm ok [13:06] well you can have nvidia-prime and drivers installed [13:06] but just use intel profile [13:06] veqz, seems you need to regress to 15.04 then. I still use 14.04LTS as my main OS [13:06] if they fix it some day, than switch to nvidai profile [13:08] hm okay [13:08] BluesKaj: i like to use latest releaes to test all the new stuff but you are right, if someone want stable system, he should stick to LTS [13:09] I'm rather loath to reinstall my OS again, so I guess I'll reconsider it if I can't find some way to live with this [13:09] soee_, I have both a test OS/16.04, and a stable OS 14.04LTS [13:10] is there any procedure to try and hunt down why nouveau seems to lag a bit? and logs I can check? [13:11] veqz, there's no real sacrifice running 15.04 vs 15.10, there's not much difference except your Optimus gpu syatem works [13:11] that's my opinion of course [13:12] I'd still have to reinstall though, and be stuck with Plasma 5.3 iirc... [13:19] veqz, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/install-kde-plasma-plasma-5-4/ [13:21] thanks. that seems helpful if I do decide to go back to 15.04 === kb is now known as Guest48541 === Guest48541 is now known as kb__ === steveire_ is now known as steveire [13:53] Hi! I'm having issues with my sound devices. I have a laptop internal sound card, and an USB headset. And when trying to set the input to the USB device, it uses the internal sound card. Also when I select the internal sound card, it also uses it. So there is no possibility to use the USB device, it's always using the internal device. [13:54] I already tried to delete every .pulse and gstreamer config directories, but it didn't help. [13:54] any chance of fixing this? [13:56] kubuntu version is 15.10 by the way (upgraded from 15.04, but the issue also occured with 15.04) [14:15] Artlu, so you have no sound at the usb port, correct ? [14:16] BluesKaj: Playback works, but when I try to use the USB device for sound capturing, it's using the internal laptop sound card [14:18] BluesKaj: However, both capture devices (internal and USB) are getting displayed in KMix and I can select both in any program, but there's no difference whether I choose the internal card or the USB device [14:19] Artlu, so you expqaec the usb device to work as a sound card ? [14:19] expect rather [14:22] BluesKaj: Of course, it's an USB headset, so for playback and recording. It also worked fine until a few days ago. [14:27] Artlu, check as root, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and make sure any usb options with a -2 index are either changed to a 0 or 1 , or you can comment them with a # then at the bottom there should be a line for usb that you can change from index=-2 to 0 or 1 [14:27] this used to work , but no guarantees [14:28] unless of course your headset shows up in alsamixer F6 and you can choose it as card0 there [14:29] Okay, thanks. I already tried commenting out everything snd-usb related, but there was no change. I can also try setting it to 1 manually. [14:29] then do sudo alsactl store [14:30] you have to reboot after changing the alsa-base conf file [14:30] Yes, I can choose the device as the default device in alsamixer. number is 2. 0 is internal device, 1 is HDA NVidia, and 2 is my USB device [14:32] so I'll reboot now and see if the changes in alsa-base.conf help. I'll let you know [14:33] Artlu, you can move it up to the top in system settings>multimedia>device preference>music and test it there as well [14:36] BluesKaj: still the same [14:37] Artlu, you can move it up to the top in system settings>multimedia>device preference>music and test it there as well [14:38] which audio chips are we dealing with here btw? [14:40] Yeah, I already moved it to top for everything. [14:40] How do I get the name for the sound devices? [14:41] aplay -l is one [14:41] lspci -nn | grep -i audio is another [14:43] and for the audio drivers, cat /proc/asound/modules [14:44] This is what I get with the 3 commands: https://paste.kde.org/pzguanqyw [14:47] Artlu, ok, which audio player do you use? [14:48] audio playback is working everywhere. VLC, chrome, firefox, teamspeak, skype, ... but recording is not working. I tried with TeamSPeak and audacity [14:51] unfortunately I have very little experience with recording using headphones to monitor the audio [14:52] especially usb 'phones [14:53] are you using the spdif out to record ? [14:53] Artlu,^ [14:54] oops to monitor rather [14:54] I used Audacity and TeamSpeak for monitoring the recording. no spdif [14:56] what is your recording setup ? [15:01] Artlu, are you using mics or inputs from other devices or..? [15:01] My laptop microphone is working fine. Only the headset microphone doesn't seem to work [15:02] So whatever I choose as my input device, it always captures from my laptop microphone [15:04] yes, usb audio devices can be a challenge, even the usb outboiard sound cards are difficult [15:06] is there special package to run KDE from recent git source? like RC or Alpha releases ? [15:07] Доброго времени суток! В shutter проблема с кириллицей. Если русские имена окон, то отображаются крякозябры. Кубунту 15.10. Подскажите пожалуйста, в какую сторону копать? [15:07] BluesKaj: It worked a few days ago, so I thought there are just some problems with the settings. Can I reset the sound settings to default somehow? [15:07] alexandr: I am not too sure, but 15.10 definitely sound good [15:14] !ru | alexandr [15:14] alexandr: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [15:15] Artlu, did you upgrade packages ? [15:17] BluesKaj: sure, I always install updates. But of course I don't remember every package which gets upgraded [15:18] yes, understood, ..perhaps something in alsamixer has changed [16:06] hey, is there a way to get back to KDE 4? plasma is such a crap :( [16:09] Fleck: Nope. reinstall Ubuntu 14.10. [16:10] Maybe you could uninstall all the plasma stuff, and get KDE installe. I don't know how to do it though. [16:10] I managed to get most non working things to work now, hence I'll keep it. [16:11] it's slow, don't show systray icons and many more problems with it [16:12] Did you upgrade ? [16:12] yep :( [16:12] in that case, go to: .config, and delete all plasma related stuff with: rm -fv plasma* [16:13] aaand yes, also, two monitor setup, plasma does not rememmber my desktop settings :D [16:13] ok, I can do that [16:13] before that, log out, when sddm shows up, Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in, and delete all the plasma related stuff out of .config as breviously explained. [16:13] yes, yes, not so dumb :D [16:13] Good morning [16:13] Then, go back to sddm with: Alt-F7, log in, and it should put some plain defaults. [16:14] That's what I did. [16:14] Yo svend-ev [16:14] I think I made new user and tried Smurphy, same problems were there :D [16:14] Then I don't know where it comes.

[20:18] yes [20:18] if grub was installed on different disk or not primary partition where probably mbr record is [20:18] different HD [20:18] ? [20:18] as I said, both OSes work, so I should be pretty close to success [20:21] grub is installed same partition as kubuntu [20:24] seems this fixed it, it was that easy [20:25] I am not as much of a hacker as I used to be, that must be the conclusion :-) === BogdanDev is now known as bogdan === bogdan is now known as BogdanDev [22:15] hh [22:15] ff [22:42] Hello.
