anabainIs anybody having issues with X server on 15.10? Switching between windows' apps is not very responsive, and I'm having massive blinking and poor refresh. kwin_x11 sometimes takes 100% CPU usage or more. Any ideas?00:11
drleviathansounds like some problems we were having with kwin_x11 all of a sudden on my daughter's computer... but she's running kubuntu-15.0400:14
drleviathanafter struggling with it a bit I switched her to fxce window manager, problem solved00:14
anabainfunny00:15
anabaindrleviathan, the "official" thing having to be wiped out00:16
drleviathanyeah, she just uses the browser and a few misc UI-centric apps.  She's not dependent on KDE idiosyncracies like I am.00:17
drleviathanbut just sayin: I've seen that problem, but I don't know why it happens or how to fix it.00:17
QuantosYou mean the flashing screen isn't just me?01:03

tacocat_Does anyone know if it is possible to easily install kde4 on ubuntu?01:14
Quantoshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE01:16
tacocat_Quantos, problem is from what I can tell the kubuntu package automatically has plasma 5, kde-full appears to be plasma and other one is also labeled plasma01:17
QuantosI just found this http://www.pclinuxos.com/get-pclinuxos/kde/01:20
QuantosIn FEATURES it says Full KDE 4.14.3 desktop01:20
QuantosNVM, that's a distro01:21
Quantostake a look at this one http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.6/kde/kdelibs.html01:21
tacocat_Quantos, thanks. Second link looks like it might be useful01:22
QuantosHehe, the first one still looks like crap though....01:23
tacocat_The pclinux link :P?01:23
QuantosLOL01:23
anabainQuantos, the extremely *annoying* flashing screen, ;)01:26
QuantosI get that sometimes, I wonder if it's the same thing01:26
tacocat_anabain, are you talking about windows flashing?01:28
anabainyes01:28
tacocat_Tbh, that's one of the major reasons I prefer 4 to 5 atm...01:29
anabainand having to scroll with the mouse in order to get the whole window properly drawn01:29
tacocat_Couple others as well, but was hoping that bug would eventually get fixed as well01:29
anabainit seems they consider it to be not very important01:30
tacocat_Once those bugs are gone, which will probably take another year at this rate I'll switch from 4 to 5 and actually enjoy the experience :P.01:31
QuantosI don't get just windows flashing.  it doesn't happen all the time but when I tell it to restart the entire screen will flash01:35
tacocat_does Kubuntu 14.04 LTS still package with kde4?01:35
QuantosCouldn't tell you01:36
anabaintacocat_, my other kubuntu box is a 14.04 and it has kde401:43
tacocat_anabain, alright thanks for confirming01:45

excalibrI think I should stop using kubuntu-ci ppa on my machine and stick with just backport ppa instead. Something is terribly wrong with my plasma shell after today's update. All plasmoids, sys tray and all other stuff in main panel now doesnt show up at all in panel. Now all I have is just an empty panel with black background06:52
excalibrSame deal in newly created user account06:53
denza242excalibr: same07:07
denza242i had to ppa-purge it07:07
excalibroh I'm not alone \o/07:07
excalibrdenza242, did you run into any problem while ppa-purging the repo?07:09
denza242nope07:10
denza242excalibr I'll re-enable it in a week though07:10
excalibrdenza242, I guess we both love plasma so much that we're willing to put up with occasional major breakage like this07:14
excalibrlol07:14

Abehello i am using kubuntu 14.04 In dolphin my folder menu on top of the windows disappeared??? If I click on the windows menu icon it just closes the window :O09:26
AbeI fixed it by pressing ctrl + M09:29
Walex2Abe: that's not quite the "folder menu" it is Dolphin's own menu.09:30
Walex2Abe: many KDE SC 4 apps have a menu bar that can be enabled/disabled with C-M or a similar combination09:31

ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI22:02
