ejayHello guys. I want to hide menu bar in certain applications (e.g. konsole). There is an option to hide menu bar but when reloaded menu is visible again. Can I somehow force manu bar to be hidden?01:19
ejayBut realoaded I meant closing and opening again.01:19

prillian5I have upgrade to 15.04. If I enter "dolphin" in bash, it opens dolphin in Admin-Mode.11:45
prillian5how can I change it to open dolphin in user-mode?11:46
prillian5and ... how can I remove old kde4 components? They are still exist11:46
lordievaderDo you run bash as root?11:48
prillian5no11:55
lordievaderHmm, then it is very strange that it would run in admin-mode. That would be a serious rights-exploit.11:59
BluesKajHiyas all12:09
dracor_xxxHi all. Kubuntu currently offers me kernel-upgrades, but muon warns that they are unsigned. Does kubuntu deliver the packages unsigned or do I have a problem?12:17
BluesKajdracor_xxx, which kubuntu ? and are you using ppas in your sources.list?12:25
dracor_xxxBluesKaj kubuntu 15.10. Only PPA I am aware of having added is for Plasma Media Center. Can't look it up right now, Kubuntu PC is at home, I am not12:26
BluesKajdracor_xxx, well that ppa probly affects the kernel module required upgrades for the media center and install dkms if not already ionstalled12:30
dracor_xxxBluesKaj Thank you, will do. Bye all12:31
ngaioOn 15.10, I'm getting the standard Qt file open dialog in kate, kwrite etc. How do I get the KDE version?13:27
BluesKajngaio, in the terminal , plasmashell -v , that will give your plasma version which is now kde13:33
ngaioBluesKaj, What I mean is that when I run kwrite etc, and pull up the open file dialogue, I'm not getting the KDE open file dialog. What I'm getting is the Qt version. I assume that's not meant to be the default way of doing things, and it can be fixed. Sorry for the confusion.13:35
BluesKajngaio, update and upgrade asap13:36
ngaioBluesKaj, I'm fully updated in 15.1013:37
ngaioI actually don't care about any current settings in my .config etc. with respect to KDE. Is there a single command I can run that will revert all settings to default for my user?13:38
ngaioI see some weird stuff in any case, like missing icons in the menu13:38
ngaiosomething obviously went wrong in the upgrade from previous versions13:39
BluesKajngaio, check in dolphin settings>configure dolphin >services. Make sure you have more than just the 5 services that came with plasma 513:43
BluesKajit's not a cure but an indicator13:44
ngaioI'm currently in a Unity session, but assuming that makes no difference, I have only 5 services, and if it's relevant, the left side panel has only one icon showing, for Startup. Only the last 3 services are activated.13:46
BluesKajok  ngaio https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=223&t=12862113:49
ngaioBluesKaj, if I fix the problem of missing services, I'll get the KDE file dialogs back?13:51
BluesKajngaio, I think so yes, not absolutely sure13:52
ngaiothanks, I'll take a look and report back13:53
BluesKajplasma 5 has been such a muckup, I can't remember anymore :-)13:54
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest97973
ngaioBluesKaj, the problem of the missing KDE file dialog was not fixed by that forum entry's instructions. It's not a big deal. I'll wait until 16.04, I guess. I was looking for it mainly so I could respond to request for information regarding a bug report I filed on KDE's handling of MTP devices14:31
BluesKajngaio, have you rebooted?14:32
ngaioBluesKaj, no I didn't try that, I just looged out14:32
ngaiologged*14:32
BluesKajok14:33
ngaioI'll reboot now, if you suggest14:33
BluesKajit might work14:34
ngaiobrb14:35
BluesKajngaio, any luck? if not try this, sudo ln -s /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/konqpopupmenuplugin.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/14:41
ngaioBluesKaj, no luck. I already did that command. I got a whole bunch of additional servies in Dolphin, but still no proper file open dialog14:45

jaafarhey friends19:20
jaafarso krunner now consistently crashes on login for me19:20
jaafarI get the error reporting popup, and go for the stack trace19:20
jaafar"Could not find debug symbols for this application"19:20
jaafarSo I guess my questions are: 1) is there a known problem with krunner now, and 2) if I wanted to give a quality bug report how would I go about getting a proper stack trace?19:20
denza242jaafar: first you'd need the symbols19:24
jaafardenza242: excellent! any suggestions on how to get them?19:25
denza242I'll check the exact packagename in a bit, but it's probably krunner-dbg or something19:25
jaafarI wonder why the crash reporting tool couldn't figure it out...19:25
denza242jaafar: the packagename?19:25
jaafarwhy it couldn't find the debug symbols for me19:26
regedit-workhello19:26
denza242drkonqi (crashreporter) is system agnostic, and each distro has it's own weird naming convention for packages19:26
regedit-workis it bad if i do my do-release-upgrade from a regular in-session command shell? meaning - without logging off and doing it from tty119:26
jaafarperhaps it's libkf5runner5-dbg19:26
denza242!info libkf5runner5-dbg19:27
ubottulibkf5runner5-dbg (source: krunner): debug symbols for krunner. In component universe, is extra. Version 5.15.0-0ubuntu1 (wily), package size 1207 kB, installed size 1268 kB19:27
jaafaroh joy19:27
denza242jaafar: ^yep, seems like it19:27
jaafarthat explains a lot19:27
jaafarthanks guys19:27
jaafarI mean denza24219:27
denza242jaafar: no problem19:28
regedit-workwell great... doing do-release-upgrade from command line froze the system some 60-80% through the process... the last output to console was Installing for x86_64-efi platform.19:34
regedit-workcant even switch to tty19:34
regedit-workso i can't even check if the upgrade has completed or not.... :(19:35
BluesKajregedit-work, upgrading to 15.10?19:35
regedit-workBluesKaj: ye19:36
regedit-workfrom 15.0419:36
regedit-worki (accidentally) initiated the upgrade from within a logged in session graphical command console (Konsole) instead of perhaps better to have logged out and to it from tty19:36
BluesKajso just a frozen terminal19:37
regedit-workBluesKaj: no the entire system is frozen; no mouse, no key combinations, not even switching to tty works19:37
regedit-workwhut thuh fuhhhhhhh.... D:19:39
BluesKajctl+PrtScn+REISUB ?19:40
regedit-workREISUB? whut?19:40
BluesKajit'll totally reboot19:40
BluesKaj!REISUB19:41
ubottuIn an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key19:41
regedit-worki mean, should i do that? any chance i'd be interrupting the still-running upgrade?19:42
regedit-workinteresting never knew about that one19:42
BluesKajoops alt+....19:42
BluesKajwell, if you have patience maybe whatever is happening will unfreeze itself , but I doubt it.19:43
regedit-workwell i did it19:43
regedit-workand now i land at a grub prompt19:43
regedit-workthe upgrade probably didnt leave grub in a bootable state19:43
regedit-workor didnt finish configuring it... :(19:44
regedit-workFFFFFU19:44
BluesKajmaybe a an update and upgrade from the VT/TTY will finish it19:44
regedit-workyes but how to boot19:44
regedit-worki'm at a grub prompt19:44
regedit-workguuuhhhhhhh19:45
regedit-workyou have miserably failed Kubuntu, you have failed the user terribly19:45
regedit-worki will remember this Kubuntu19:45
BluesKajdo you have another linux OS in grub19:45
regedit-workBluesKaj: it's not a boot menu, it's a command prompt saying grub>19:45
BluesKajoh the grub rescue prompt ...bummer19:46
BluesKajbut is there another linux on your machine19:47
regedit-work"bummer"? releasing broken upgrade processes that break a users OS and make it unbootable is outright evil...19:48
regedit-worknot you BluesKaj :p19:48
regedit-workbut i am fuming right now, just saying19:48
PebeteHi, is there an estimate date for the availability of Plasma 5.5 for Kubuntu 15.10?19:48
BluesKajregedit-work, I have to ask, did you upgrade your packages before running the upgrade-release ?19:49
regedit-worknow i have to spend an hour or more finding & writing a live buntu..... uhhhhh the outrage19:49
regedit-workBluesKaj: yes; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade were performed and completed successfully before do-release-upgrade19:50
regedit-workeven sudo apt-ger dist-upgrade19:50
regedit-workfor good measure19:50
=== alex__ is now known as meloddie
BluesKajPebete, no firm date , the dev reponsible has a serious family matter to attend to so the builds are postponed for a few days19:51
PebeteThanks19:51
regedit-workBluesKaj: is there no way to give this grub> command prompt directions to boot the Kubuntu that's there at least to text command line?19:52
BluesKajregedit-work, the only thing I can suggest is systemrescue disk or boot-repair19:53
regedit-workwhy19:53
regedit-workon a scale of 0 to none19:53
regedit-workthat is just fantastic19:54
regedit-workthanks anyway BluesKaj, i will now go break a brick wall or something19:54
BluesKajwell if you can't get to a VT/TTY I have no magic commands19:54
regedit-worki mean like, why does a grub> prompt exist anyway, if not to be able to manually boot something that is otherwise not perfectly configured to boot automatically...19:55
BluesKajregedit-work, I always keep a boot-repair disk handy for these situations19:56
vertago1jaafar, I had that issue and I was able to clear it up by reseting the baloorc files20:06
jaafarvertago1: the only one I could find just has some Akonadi setting in it20:07
vertago1jaafar, I am trying to remember what I did to fix my issue with the debut symbols.20:08
vertago1*debug20:08
jaafarOh20:08
jaafarwell, thanks, hopefully I'm set on the krunner front20:08
jaafarthe insight that package names are idiosyncratic was a helpful one20:08
vertago1jaafar did you change any of the settings related to generating core files?20:10
jaafarvertago1: where would those settings be :)20:11
vertago1jaafar the core dump size shouldn't be an issue as long as you are getting a list of the stack trace though. Did you get a list or just one line?20:12
regedit-workBluesKaj: I have an external 2TB hard drive formatted to NTFS, with a lot of space available. What are the chances of shrinking some space for a bootable live buntu on it?20:13
jaafarvertago1: I'm not sure; I was following the crash reporting wizard.  It told me my stack trace was useless, then couldn't download symbols.  Hopefully the second issue is now resolved.20:13
vertago1the symbols are usually in packages with -dbg at the end20:14
vertago1they are pretty large20:14
vertago1the package for krunner is probably libkf5runner5-dbg on kubuntu 15.1020:16
vertago1getting apport fixed and downloading them through it would probably be the best though.20:17
BluesKajregedit-work, yes, resizing the drive with gparted disk and formatting to ext4 and installing kubuntu on it will definitely work20:19
jaafaryes denza242 helped me find them already20:19
jaafarI am ready for the next time it happens20:19
regedit-workBluesKaj: ok le'me try that rabbit hole...20:20
=== jayhunold is now known as jhunold
BluesKaja 100GB ext4 partition for linux is plenty, regedit-work or even 50G if you don't plan on holding too much data on that partition20:23
regedit-workno this is just for the bootable recovery20:37
regedit-workis that a bad idea / not possible?20:38
regedit-workto make room on a drive currently fully occupied by an NTFS partition - for a bootable live buntu?20:39
regedit-workresizing 1.82 TiB to 1.8 TiB, how long should this take already?20:52
ubuntouristThis afternoon I ran apt-get dist-upgrade, and all went as usual. But on te next power-on of the laptop, the UUID of the swap partition had changed... Why?20:56
ubuntouristHow can I track it down?20:56
vertago1ubuntourist: some things to consider are whether or not you use cryptswap and whether or not you have booted off a live CD which may have mounted the swap.21:43
vertago1ubuntourist: I have never seen a partition change UUID on its own so I am guessing mkswap was run on it for some reason21:43
ubuntouristvertago1: Neither cryptswap nor a live CD.21:44
ubuntouristAfter the dist-upgrade, I shut down and moved to a different location. When I restarted, the keyboard was dead. After several restarts, with dead keyboard,21:45
ubuntouristI dropped into recovery at boot to see if I could ferret out the trouble.21:46
vertago1ubuntourist it is entirely possible if you powered off the machine while it was trying to write to disk it could have clobbered the uuid information on disk21:46
ubuntouristThat's where I saw it was having trouble with swap and found a different UUID assigned than what I had in /etc/fstab21:46
ubuntouristvertago1: There's a possibility.21:47
ubuntouristvertago1: The beastie's had trouble shutting down normally of late, and I've had to resort to popping the battery to get it to really stop.21:48
vertago1ubuntourist, how do you shut it down?21:48
vertago1I have had some machines have issues that were fixed with later kernels21:49
ubuntouristvertago1: I try to wait several minutes, in the hopes that it stops writing before popping the battery.21:49
vertago1ubuntourist: something you may want to look at because it lets you force a disk sync :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key#Uses21:50
ubuntouristvertago1: I'm running Ubuntu Studio, and I normally just go to the Logout in the upper right, which offers a Logout, Restart, Shutdown or Suspend.21:50
ubuntourist(On occasion, I run a "sudo shutdown -h now" but rarely.)21:51
ubuntouristvertago1: Thanks. I'll look into that.21:52
wxlanyone know how add to klipper via the command line?22:08
wxl(with qt5)22:09
vertago1wxl: have you tried this: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?68017-CLI-for-Plasma-5-Clipboard?22:12
