[00:01] <valorie> !firewall
[00:01] <valorie> Letr5ts: ^^^
[00:07] <Letr5ts> valorie: thanks :)   Is there a KDE specific firewall GUI package that many KUbuntu users use?
[00:10] <valorie> Letr5ts: pretty much as the factoid says
[00:11] <valorie> I let my router do the work, personally
[00:11] <Letr5ts> :)
[00:18] <bprompt> Letr5ts:  hhhmm there used to be a kfw  or kfirewall, not sure if its there still in kde4
[00:18] <bprompt> !ufw | Letr5ts
[00:19] <Letr5ts> bprompt: yeah, several years ago there was a real nice simple package, gui. kfirewall, iirc, but not anymore???
[00:20] <bprompt> I don't see it in the repositories
[00:20] <Letr5ts> Were is the KStart menu location for ufw-kde?  I just installed it, but don't see it in the menu.
[00:25] <bprompt> Letr5ts:    do a search =)
[00:25] <bprompt> Letr5ts:   but I'd think either Networking or System tools
[00:32] <valorie> !info kfirewall
[00:32] <valorie> probably not ported to kf5 (yet)
[00:35] <Letr5ts> valorie: kf5?
[00:36] <Letr5ts> valorie: ah. Frameworks 5
[00:37] <valorie> sorry for the jargon
[00:37] <valorie> yes, frameworks 5
[00:38] <seriousstorm85> what do you think will happen to Kubuntu with Jonathan Ridell leaving?
[00:39] <Letr5ts> JR +=
[00:39] <valorie> we'll be a bit slower
[00:39] <Letr5ts> JR +=
[00:40] <valorie> we have no paid work now, so releases will be slower, especially now as we try to ramp up tooling
[00:40] <valorie> all help welcome!
[00:43] <Letr5ts> Firewall GUI viewer sw???
[00:45] <valorie> Letr5ts: if that is what you love, we'd like your help, yes
[00:45] <valorie> on the Kubuntu level, or upstream in KDE
[00:45] <Letr5ts> I am wondering if there is such a thing.
[00:46] <valorie> the "viewer" part I don't know
[00:46] <valorie> yes, there was kfirewall, and ufw-kde
[00:46] <valorie> !ufw-kde
[00:47] <valorie> err
[00:47] <valorie> !info ufw-kde
[00:50] <Letr5ts> valorie: I see "Firewall" under KDE System Settings > Network.  Is that ufw-kde? It's config only, not a firewall/network status monitor.
[00:50] <valorie> right, KCM means control module
[00:51] <valorie> if there is a monitor, it would be a widget of some sort
[00:51] <valorie> available from the "hamburger" menu of plasma
[00:51] <valorie> either on the desktop or panel, depending on how you work
[01:01] <excalibr> I read some months ago that ksecret would replace kwallet and that would also address all the long standing complains about kwallet password prompts at login
[01:01] <excalibr> Im on 15.10 now and I dont get the password prompt anymore at login. But I dont see ksecret in running process
[01:03] <excalibr> Any idea what actually the change that does that?
[01:03] <excalibr> Just curious
[01:13] <shutin> hey I'm about to try installing kubuntu 14.04 in a dual boot setup with win 10. anything i should watch out for?
[02:26] <TheCyberQuake> anyone else having issues with sddm-greeter in 15.10? I can't get into kubuntu from both the live cd and from a full install, I've tried redownloading to no avail
[02:27] <TheCyberQuake> Executable: ssdm-greeter PID: 3534 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) Time: 11/9/15 02:24:01
[02:55] <valorie> hmm, cyberquake left
[02:55] <valorie> redownloading is usually not a help
[02:56] <valorie> excalibr: I think ksecret is part of kwallet?
[02:56] <valorie> but I've not read up on it
[03:13] <excalibr> valorie, by the way, do you have any workaround for output audio device not switching back to lineout when I plug out headphone from lineout port?
[03:14] <excalibr> switch back to speakers*
[03:15] <valorie> hmmm, the only time I had that problem it was a kernel bug
[03:15] <valorie> and the workaround was a kernel patch!
[03:16] <valorie> what version of kubuntu are you using, excalibr?
[03:17] <excalibr> Im on 15.10. Been having this issue since I started using plasma 5
[03:17] <valorie> interesting
[03:17] <valorie> I'm also on 15.10, and have not experienced those issues
[03:17] <valorie> so I'm assuming that it's a driver issue
[03:18] <valorie> I would tend to open up alsamixer and watch what happens when I un/plug in the earphones
[03:18] <valorie> if not alsa, then pulseaudio
[03:19] <valorie> lastly, kmix
[03:19] <valorie> somewhere, the unplug action isn't being registered
[03:27] <excalibr> valorie, sorry not so familiar with alsamixer. Where do I need to look a change in alsamixer while un/pluging in earphone
[03:28] <valorie> !info alsamix
[03:28] <valorie> pfff
[03:28] <valorie> !alsamix
[03:28] <valorie> grrrr
[03:28] <valorie> it is a cli application, but you use your arrow keys to navigate it
[03:28] <excalibr> haha
[03:29] <excalibr> I know its cli. Im staring at alsamixer now but I dont know what exactly to look at
[03:29] <valorie> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/Alsamixer
[03:29] <valorie> oh, sorry
[03:30] <valorie> that page is better than me 'splaining
[03:30] <valorie> !alsamixer
[03:30] <valorie> silly ubottu
[03:30] <valorie> not sure what happened to the handy factoid
[03:38] <excalibr> valorie, so while playing some song on speaker I plugged in earphone. I saw the speaker bar in alsamixer switched to MM. Then I unplugged the earphone, the speaker bar still has MM on it. Is that what should I observed in alsamixer?
[03:39] <valorie> well, that shows that the "message" never gets to alsa
[03:39] <valorie> which is pretty far down on the stack
[03:40] <valorie> how about the mic input, does that register?
[03:40] <valorie> you can use your earphones to test that in the input jack
[03:41] <valorie> they are bad mics, but can function that way
[03:46] <excalibr> valorie, wait. Something magical happened. In alsamixer, with speaker still muted after I unplug the earphone, if I manually unmute the speaker bar after that, everything works as it should after that. Plugging in earphone, audio goes to lineout and unpluggin earphone, audio goes back to speakers
[03:46] <valorie> cool!
[03:46] <excalibr> What is..happening!
[03:46] <excalibr> Haa
[03:47] <excalibr> So what is the bug here?
[03:47] <valorie> alsamixer is a nice tool to have in your back pocket
[03:47] <valorie> not so good to use all the time
[03:47] <valorie> well, hard to say if it was a hardware problem or software?
[03:48] <valorie> or, where in the stack it happened
[03:48] <valorie> like: "playing some song" -- in what?
[03:48] <excalibr> most likely software? Ive never had this problem in gnome/unity
[03:48] <valorie> Amarok? Youtube?
[03:48] <valorie> well, I've not had it in kubuntu either
[03:51] <excalibr> I was playing song in Spotify but now Im playing song in Amarok
[03:52] <valorie> do you get the same behavior on both?
[03:52] <valorie> because Amarok uses phonon and spotify doesn'
[03:52] <valorie> t
[03:53] <Hudsonkem> blender thumbnail for dolphin 15.08.2, ideas?
[03:54] <excalibr> valorie: Yep, the correct behavior on both. But only after I unmuted the speaker bar a while ago
[03:55] <valorie> excalibr: so I guess then I would check with kmix, and pulseaudio in turn
[03:55] <valorie> as you did with alsamixer
[03:55] <valorie> if it is the same behavior on all, it's gotta be either a driver or hardware
[03:57] <excalibr> valorie, do I need to undo the change I did in alsamixer first before checking with kmix/pulseaudio?
[03:57] <valorie> that I do not know
[03:58] <valorie> as I said, the only time I had your problem was years ago
[03:58] <valorie> and it was the kernel
[03:58] <valorie> about as far down the stack as you can go
[03:58] <valorie> :p
[04:00] <Hudsonkem> excalibr whats problem?
[04:01] <excalibr> Hudsonkem, my output audio device doesnt switch back to speakers when I unplug ear/headphone
[04:02] <Hudsonkem> 山 :O ok, just a moment
[04:06] <Hudsonkem> read about it ok, so take back if u not solve it :)>>>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2058548
[04:15] <excalibr> Hudsonkem, ty I'll give it a go
[04:47] <jbermudes> Does anyone else experience in 15.10 times where the thubnails that show up when you hover over a taskbar item don't go away when you mouse away from the taskbar?
[04:51] <Hudsonkem> jbermudes right click on taskbar and go to task manager settings,
[04:51] <Hudsonkem> check (show tips)
[04:52] <Hudsonkem> check (show tooltips)*
[04:54] <jbermudes> Hudsonkem: Thanks. I understand that will turn them off, but I was wondering if others had experienced a bug where they don't behave as they should
[04:54] <valorie> jbermudes: I've not seen that
[04:55] <jbermudes> It might be because I upgraded from 15.04. Maybe I'll try a fresh install, because I also noticed the upgrade made my taskbar take forever to load after logging in
[04:55] <valorie> I like tooltips so wouldn't want to turn them off
[04:55] <jbermudes> Right, I like them too
[04:55] <jbermudes> I just don't like them sometimes being there permanently :P
[04:55] <valorie> I upgraded
[04:56] <valorie> I doubt it's that
[04:56] <Hudsonkem> jbermudes, ^^ got it
[04:56] <valorie> you could find the plasma config in ~/.config and rename that
[04:56] <Hudsonkem> valorie dont be, upgrade dist may cause many issues as u can wonder
[04:57] <valorie> perhhaps there is a wonky config left over from 15.04
[04:57] <Hudsonkem> maybe :).
[04:57] <valorie> Hudsonkem: sure, but that is usually left-over configs and such
[04:57] <valorie> one can always test with a new user
[04:58] <valorie> I have had bad upgrades, yes
[04:58] <Hudsonkem> :V ya god listen u :), try it jbermudes,
[05:00] <valorie> but in general, apt gives good ways to fix partial installs and such
[05:03] <Hudsonkem> jbermudes>> mv ~/.config ~/.config_bkp
[05:04] <jbermudes> I'll try that out. Thanks :)
[05:14] <valorie> ooo, I wouldn't have moved the whole .config folder, but that can work.....
[05:14] <valorie> you've always got the old one if you need to move some files back
[05:15] <Hudsonkem> :)
[07:57] <londoh> Hi I have a failed upgrade 15.05 -> 15.10. I started it from muon as per wiki. left it running over night. this morning machine has hung. a reboot gets kernel panic unabel to mount root fs
[07:58] <londoh> anyone know 1?how to recover it please
[08:00] <valorie> londoh: can you get a konsole or does control + alt + f2 or f3 etc. work?
[08:03] <valorie> if so, can you do `sudo do-release-upgrade` ?
[08:04] <valorie> just paste that into your console using control-shift-v
[08:04] <londoh> no its completley hung
[08:04] <valorie> without the backticks
[08:05] <valorie> so no control + alt + f anything?
[08:05] <valorie> sometimes one will work, when others will no
[08:05] <valorie> t
[08:05] <londoh> and so i hit power button. now have kernel panic and "unable to mount root rs"
[08:05] <valorie> :(
[08:06] <valorie> power button was not a good move
[08:06] <valorie> probably now your only hope is to do a new install
[08:06] <londoh> i just searched the forum and it failed updating libsane drivers. others have the problem.
[08:06] <valorie> a failed upgrade is possible to fix, but not once restarted
[08:07] <londoh> oh bugger :-(
[08:07] <valorie> so do you have a DVD drive in it?
[08:07] <londoh> yea i do
[08:07] <valorie> and can burn a DVD or USB somehow?
[08:07] <valorie> !liveusb
[08:08] <valorie> usb is best, I think
[08:08] <valorie> because fastest
[08:08] <londoh> yea I have a couple other machines here. am downloading iso now.
[08:08] <londoh> surely there is some way to recover this failed install?
[08:09] <valorie> well, it is possible that with the liveUSB, you can fix it from there
[08:09] <valorie> is it worthwhile to do so?
[08:09] <valorie> I mean, it's a challenge
[08:10] <londoh> well the machine has a spare drive with rsynced /home backup but even so its a hassle to reinstall everything
[08:10] <valorie> !recovery
[08:10] <valorie> pfff
[08:10] <londoh> tried it - same kernel panic / me panic
[08:11] <valorie> right, that wasn't what I was looking for
[08:11] <valorie> there are special live ISOs for recovery
[08:12] <londoh> recorvery iso for kubunto or generic?
[08:12] <valorie> http://www.sysresccd.org/Download is the one I've heard of most
[08:12] <valorie> generic
[08:12] <londoh> ok i'll give it a shot
[08:12] <valorie> the thing is, if you have your ~/home safe
[08:13] <valorie> then all you need do with a new install is add a few applications
[08:13] <valorie> I know that there is some futzing
[08:13] <valorie> but really, installing takes so little time
[08:13] <valorie> but if you want to do the work, rescue might be interesting
[08:14] <londoh> yea I kinda know that but even so it takes a few days to get it all back up
[08:14] <londoh> it mys work machine - stoopid thing to do to trust and upgrade at bedtime :-( doh!
[08:15] <valorie> :(
[08:15] <valorie> well, usually it works
[08:15] <valorie> my upgrade was totally boring
[08:15] <londoh> I have to go out now for an hour. I'll elect to try the rescue remedy first.
[08:15] <valorie> best of luck, londoh
[08:15] <londoh> this kinda excitment i can do without at 8 am monday morning ;-)
[08:15] <londoh> later
[08:20] <Smurphy> londoh: It probably is only a failed Grub configuration update. Means all data is there.
[08:20] <Smurphy> You should be able to manually fix the grub and boot into the system.
[08:20] <Smurphy> Check out
[08:20] <Smurphy> http://stargate.solsys.org/mod.php?mod=faq&op=extlist&topicid=7&expand=yes#154
[08:20] <Smurphy> That's what I usually do.
[08:24] <londoh> smurphy  I was typing but i think the chat hung too
[08:25] <londoh> I'm hoping your suggestion is possible, but I've never done it before. have to go out back in an hour for some more advice. thanks all
[08:44] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:51] <Ardalan> Hey folks
[09:51] <Ardalan> I have a problem with making kubuntu 15.10 usb disk
[09:52] <Ardalan> unetbootin and startup disk creator doesn't work
[09:52] <Ardalan> can anyone help?!
[11:29] <freeroute> hi everyone, I have this idea / feature and I was wondering if I could do that on KDE.
[11:30] <freeroute> basically, I want to name virtual desktops, and have something like Krunner go to that specific virtual desktop based on that name.
[11:30] <freeroute> is that somehow doable?
[11:40] <Smurphy> freeroute: it is doable./ Check activities for the placing. And - the desktop naming is a feature that exists for a long time already
[11:41] <freeroute> Smurphy: well I've named my virtual desktops accordingly, but selecting them based on text search? Do I have to use activities for that?
[11:43] <Smurphy> Why not just make Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-F2 etc. ?
[11:43] <Smurphy> selecting based on text search, no. Doesn't work.
[11:46] <freeroute> because I only have 12 function keys :p
[11:46] <Smurphy> lol...
[11:46] <Smurphy> Ctrl-Fx is already hard-coded into it.,
[11:47] <freeroute> for example, I have browser windows based on topic: Research, linux, reddit general, crypto, etc.
[11:47] <freeroute> and personally I'd rather have different workspaces cut out for those topics.
[11:48] <freeroute> oh I thought I could change that shortcut to for example do Super-1, Super-2 etc.
[11:48] <freeroute> is it hardcoded?
[11:48] <Smurphy> Ctrl-F1 etc., yes.
[11:49] <freeroute> oh... so I can't change those shortcut? :S
[11:56] <hateball> freeroute: well your browser windows should show up in the search, and you will be offered to be taken there regardless of which virtual desktop they are on
[11:56] <hateball> so as long as you know the browser window name, that should work just the same as assigning the desktop itself a name, no?
[11:57] <freeroute> a lot of the times however the browser window title does not necessarily reflect the topic though
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:17] <freeroute> ello :)
[12:23] <londoh> thanks to the kind folks who stepped in earlier re 15.04->15.10 upgrade issue (valorie and a smurph maybe ;-) ) - the little boot-repair utility fixed most of it, then bit of messing about with dkms and nvidia driver.  all good now, on 15.10. But that is one garish piece of desktop wallpaper - yuckk
[12:24] <lordievader> londoh: Nothing is stopping you from changing it ;)
[12:33] <amovah> Hi
[12:33] <amovah> I want to remove KDE desktop completly
[12:36] <BluesKaj> amovah, why and which kubuntu?
[12:37] <amovah> BluesKaj: I like KDE desktop but my hardwares is sucks
[12:37] <BluesKaj> ok , but which kubu8ntu release?
[12:37] <amovah> which kubuntu??? I don't understand. can you explain more
[12:37] <amovah> how can I find out which kubuntu
[12:37] <amovah> ?
[12:38] <lordievader> amovah: Open a terminal and run 'lsb_release -a'
[12:38] <amovah> I'm not in KDE desktop now
[12:38] <lordievader> amovah: As long as it it somekind of ubuntu it doesn't matter.
[12:39] <amovah> so, how can I remove completly kde desktop?
[12:40] <BluesKaj> sudo apt remove kubuntu-desktop && plasma-desktop
[12:40] <BluesKaj> oops not that
[12:41] <BluesKaj> sudo apt remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt remove plasma-desktop
[12:41] <amovah> should I run sudo apt-get autoremove command ?
[12:41] <Smurphy> after that, yes.
[12:42] <amovah> and I'm using Ubuntu 15.10
[12:43] <BluesKaj> amovah, do you have unity or gnome desktop installed
[12:43] <BluesKaj> ?
[12:43] <Smurphy> Which desktop do you run ?
[12:43] <amovah> unity
[12:43] <Smurphy> *lol* Almost same question :}
[12:44] <amovah> now I have another problem
[12:44] <amovah> I still have some applications, like konverstaion, kmail
[12:44] <amovah> I don't want them
[12:44] <amovah> How can I remove them all.?
[12:45] <Smurphy> Should have been removed by removing kubuntu-desktop....
[12:46] <ssarah> hei guys
[12:46] <ssarah> im learning chinese
[12:46] <ssarah> how to i change kde so i can start typing in chinese?
[12:46] <amovah> no, they are still here
[12:47] <Smurphy> remove the  kontact suite then.
[12:47] <BluesKaj> amovah, did you run autoremove
[12:47] <amovah> yes of courese
[12:47] <amovah> course
[12:48] <amovah> Smurphy: it's not all, I have katem Knote, etc.
[12:48] <BluesKaj> run sudo apt-get autoclean as well\
[12:48] <amovah> kate*
[12:48] <amovah> are you sure?
[12:48] <amovah> it doesn't work
[12:49] <BluesKaj> amovah, try a reboot
[12:49] <amovah> let me do
[12:52] <Smurphy> fast reboot.
[12:52] <amovah> KDE desktop is still exsits on dm
[12:52] <amovah> and also its application
[12:53] <Smurphy> He didn't remote it then.
[12:53] <Smurphy> sudo apt-get remote desktop-kubuntu
[12:54] <amovah> Unable to locate package desktop-kubuntu
[12:54] <amovah> remote or remove?
[12:55] <BluesKaj> uhm kubuntu-desktop
[12:55] <amovah> Package 'kubuntu-desktop' is not installed, so not removed
[12:56] <lordievader> You can allways spit through the 'dpkg -l' list and remove things manually.
[12:56] <amovah> there isn't another way?
[12:57] <Smurphy> Check this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
[12:57] <amovah> in my opinion it isn't a solution , and it takes my time.
[12:57] <BluesKaj> aamo go ask in #ubuntu , those commands should have worked
[12:57] <BluesKaj> amovah,^
[12:58] <amovah> Smurphy: It doesn't work
[13:00] <BluesKaj> frankly I'm not sure this guy is legit , I've had enough ...I smell troll
[13:00] <Smurphy> Sorry then. I am using kubuntu. I don't remove it.
[13:00] <Smurphy> BluesKaj :}
[13:03] <amovah> my hardwares is sucks
[13:03] <amovah> I like that
[13:03] <amovah> but I need too remove it
[13:03] <amovah> I need to remove it
[13:03] <BluesKaj> http://askubuntu.com/questions/79636/how-to-remove-all-traces-of-kde-installed
[13:04] <amovah> No it's doesn't work, it's referenced to http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
[13:05] <BluesKaj> amovah, then go to #ubuntu , they can help you
[13:05] <amovah> also they can't
[13:06] <amovah> :(
[13:06] <BluesKaj> remove akonadi , it will take most of the kubuntu desktop with it
[13:07] <Smurphy> yep :}
[13:07] <amovah> it is their answer: amovah: look at your apt/dpkg log and see what packages you installed, and remove them
[13:11] <BluesKaj> amovah, just remove akonadi
[13:13] <BluesKaj> it happened to me the first time i used kde4 and wanted to get rid of akonadi because I didn't need it , took the whole kubuntu-desktop :-)
[13:17] <BluesKaj> good riddance and good luck
[13:23] <Smurphy> :}
[15:07] <JunkHunk> did anybody get nvclock working on kubuntu?
[15:08] <JunkHunk> I really would like to monitor GPU usage
[15:10] <JunkHunk> I get this error: $ nvclock -i
[15:10] <JunkHunk> Error: failed to mmap PMC
[15:12] <BluesKaj> JunkHunk, I don't see nvclock in muon
[15:12] <JunkHunk> I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/387594/how-to-measure-gpu-usage
[15:12] <JunkHunk> nvclock seems to be kind of forgotten
[15:13] <JunkHunk> nvidia-smi works nice for me
[15:13] <JunkHunk> I only need now to type the command in conky to use it
[15:13] <JunkHunk> I ll ask in conky
[15:14] <BluesKaj> qhynot use the system monitor or cpustat

[15:18] <ejay> hi. Plasma5 just went full retard. Did not change nothing and this crap is making extra spaces and, it looks like, it's trying to take whole space of a panel. Ofc it's retarded and my question is - how to make it so it will stop act like a rest of plasma?

[17:58] <maartenw> I have recently been upgrading to 15.10 and since then, I'm suffering from a severe problem
[17:58] <maartenw> when I am in the KDE environment, all of a sudden both of my screens go blank, the computer remains alive, but keyboard seems unusable
[17:59] <maartenw> The only way to get out is by hitting the reset button
[18:00] <maartenw> I use a GT430 Nvidia card with the nvidia drivers
[18:00] <maartenw> I've tried various versions: newest one, 340 and also legacy, 304, all have the same error
[18:01] <maartenw> I have no clue when it happens, all of a sudden
[18:01] <maartenw> I've now switched to xfce to see whether plasma is to be blamed, but it seems it happened again during diner
[18:01] <maartenw> Any clues? I see nothing among bug reports...
[18:13] <drleviathan> maartenw, do you still have access to the command line terminals (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1, CTRL+ALT+F2, ... up to F5 or F6)?
[18:14] <drleviathan> btw, to get back to GUI mode use CTRL+ALT+F7
[18:14] <maartenw> drleviathan: no, unfortunately not. I tried immediately
[18:14] <maartenw> it seems the keyboard is broken too
[18:16] <drleviathan> maartenw, do you have SSH access to the computer when it goes blank?
[18:17] <drleviathan> I'm just wondering if running the "dmesg" command or looking at some log while the screen is blank would provide clues
[18:17] <drleviathan> I don't have a good theory about what the problem is
[18:17] <maartenw> drleviathan i've not yet tried
[18:18] <maartenw> the thing is it's long ago when I used ssh
[18:18] <maartenw> but i can try to set it up with my tablet
[18:18] <maartenw> do you know an easy app for android?
[18:19] <drleviathan> no.  I always have a second computer available since everyone in my family has their own
[18:19] <maartenw> in mine too, but they are on windows
[18:20] <maartenw> wait i have an old laptop
[18:20] <maartenw> i'm going to try
[18:20] <maartenw> i guess the old X log will help too
[18:20] <maartenw> I personally think that the x server crashes and locks up the screen
[18:29] <maartenw> ok, i have ssh access now to the computer
[18:29] <maartenw> so as soon as it goes down, which might take quite some time, I can try
[19:00] <xela2244> hi, i'm using kubuntu 15.10 and I added system load widget, but is showing wrong RAM usage
[19:12] <stefan_____> hi, i have i small problem with my kde install, kde does not change icons when i choose some(dolphin uses the gtk icon set)
[21:23] <stefan____> hi has someone ever experienced that programms like dolphin use the gtk style even if its not configured as default(kf5)?
[21:24] <bprompt> stefan____:    nope
[21:38] <daum> hey guys - i just installed 15.10 fresh on my laptop which was on 14.  now when i close browser windows/click log out the top of the screen flickers as it must be trying to do some sort of animation?
[21:58] <stefan____> ok found my problem, the env QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME was set
[22:15] <finetundra> how do I get to the OS from grub recovery
[22:17] <bprompt> finetundra:    "to the OS"?
[22:30] <Eluus> "open file" dialog doesn't see usb drives in some programs, how do I fix that? kubuntu 15.10
[22:32] <bprompt> Eluus:     that depends on the app itself, IIRC you can customize at some level the "open file" dialog window, or even provide your own, but you can always just got to /media/ folder to find your device
[22:33] <Eluus> bprompt: thanks!
[22:34] <Eluus> bprompt: do you know where I can customize the open file dialog window?
[22:36] <bprompt> Eluus:    well... by "you", I meant the developer writing the application and using an "open file" dialog
[22:36] <Eluus> ic
[22:36] <Eluus> not all programs open the same dialog
[22:37] <bprompt> right
[22:37] <Eluus> I wish all of them used KDialog
[22:37] <bprompt> some use GTK dialogs, some use KDE's or QTs, and some may write their own like Java apps
[23:54] <Fritigern> HOLY COW!!!! Who would have thought that appmenu-qt5 could cause that much problems??? For days I could not figure out why the &^$*^ I had lost icons, why I couldn;t change Icon themes and my widgets looked like GTK. But thanks to stefan____ who discovered that QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME was set, I discovered that appmenu-qt5 was the cause of these issues
[23:56] <Fritigern> I've uninstalled that package, and now my icons (breeze) are reappearing, the widgts (breeze) look normal and everyhihng can be reconfigured again.
[23:57] <Fritigern> So now you know, if someone complains about missing icons, icon theme no longer working, and/or widgets looking weird, direct them to uninstalling the package appmenu-qt5 and stick with appmenu-qt (without 5)
[23:57] <genii> Good to know
