[00:11] <anabain> Is 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?
[00:14] <drleviathan> sounds like some problems we were having with kwin_x11 all of a sudden on my daughter's computer... but she's running kubuntu-15.04
[00:14] <drleviathan> after struggling with it a bit I switched her to fxce window manager, problem solved
[00:15] <anabain> funny
[00:16] <anabain> drleviathan, the "official" thing having to be wiped out
[00:17] <drleviathan> yeah, she just uses the browser and a few misc UI-centric apps.  She's not dependent on KDE idiosyncracies like I am.
[00:17] <drleviathan> but just sayin: I've seen that problem, but I don't know why it happens or how to fix it.
[01:03] <Quantos> You mean the flashing screen isn't just me?
[01:14] <tacocat_> Does anyone know if it is possible to easily install kde4 on ubuntu?
[01:16] <Quantos> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[01:17] <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 plasma
[01:20] <Quantos> I just found this http://www.pclinuxos.com/get-pclinuxos/kde/
[01:20] <Quantos> In FEATURES it says Full KDE 4.14.3 desktop
[01:21] <Quantos> NVM, that's a distro
[01:21] <Quantos> take a look at this one http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.6/kde/kdelibs.html
[01:22] <tacocat_> Quantos, thanks. Second link looks like it might be useful
[01:23] <Quantos> Hehe, the first one still looks like crap though....
[01:23] <tacocat_> The pclinux link :P?
[01:23] <Quantos> LOL
[01:26] <anabain> Quantos, the extremely *annoying* flashing screen, ;)
[01:26] <Quantos> I get that sometimes, I wonder if it's the same thing
[01:28] <tacocat_> anabain, are you talking about windows flashing?
[01:28] <anabain> yes
[01:29] <tacocat_> Tbh, that's one of the major reasons I prefer 4 to 5 atm...
[01:29] <anabain> and having to scroll with the mouse in order to get the whole window properly drawn
[01:29] <tacocat_> Couple others as well, but was hoping that bug would eventually get fixed as well
[01:30] <anabain> it seems they consider it to be not very important
[01:31] <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.
[01:35] <Quantos> I don't get just windows flashing.  it doesn't happen all the time but when I tell it to restart the entire screen will flash
[01:35] <tacocat_> does Kubuntu 14.04 LTS still package with kde4?
[01:36] <Quantos> Couldn't tell you
[01:43] <anabain> tacocat_, my other kubuntu box is a 14.04 and it has kde4
[01:45] <tacocat_> anabain, alright thanks for confirming
[03:09] <Dadangle> Is this where I'm supposed to be
[03:09] <Dadangle> I need simple help
[03:11] <Dragnslcr> If you ask your question, people will answer if they can.
[06:52] <excalibr> I 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 background
[06:53] <excalibr> Same deal in newly created user account
[07:07] <denza242> excalibr: same
[07:07] <denza242> i had to ppa-purge it
[07:07] <excalibr> oh I'm not alone \o/
[07:09] <excalibr> denza242, did you run into any problem while ppa-purging the repo?
[07:10] <denza242> nope
[07:10] <denza242> excalibr I'll re-enable it in a week though
[07:14] <excalibr> denza242, I guess we both love plasma so much that we're willing to put up with occasional major breakage like this
[07:14] <excalibr> lol
[09:26] <Abe> hello 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 :O
[09:29] <Abe> I fixed it by pressing ctrl + M
[09:30] <Walex2> Abe: that's not quite the "folder menu" it is Dolphin's own menu.
[09:31] <Walex2> Abe: many KDE SC 4 apps have a menu bar that can be enabled/disabled with C-M or a similar combination
[10:24] <jonah> Hi can anyone please help for some reason I'm getting an error when I try load up Inkscape "inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib11VariantTypeD1Ev"
[10:24] <Smurphy> You got the wrong version of Inkscape...
[10:24] <Smurphy> or the wrong library version.
[10:24] <Smurphy> do a: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[10:27] <jonah> Smurphy: i thanks just tried that but no updates are available it says
[10:31] <dash_> hello
[10:45] <Smurphy> jonah: Where did you get the binary of inkscape ?
[10:45] <Smurphy> usually, when you install from the same source as the OS, it works.
[11:41] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[11:43] <Smurphy> Morning
[11:59] <BluesKaj> hey Smurphy
[12:56] <mozg> i would like to extend rainlab.blog to count the view number of post, migrating the database is done but do i handle the event on other model ?
[13:00] <BluesKaj> mozg, this is kubuntu support, how is your question related ?
[13:17] <mozg> BluesKaj: sorry wrong channel
[13:37] <BluesKaj> mozg, np
[15:13] <stephane_> wesh
[19:59] <oink> hi all
[20:02] <clivejo> hi oink
[20:03] <oink> i have installed kubuntu 15.10 today... what a beautiful release! i'm impressed!
[20:04] <clivejo> thats nice of you to say :)
[20:05] <clivejo> what made you choose Kubuntu?
[20:05] <clivejo> have you used it before?
[20:10] <oink> i have ubuntu on my other notebook, but i tried the last 2 or 3 release of kubuntu
[20:11] <oink> without success
[20:12] <oink> more bug, more design inconsistencies... a desktop in progress :P
[20:13] <oink> but that 15.10 seems much better
[20:15] <oink> clean, more stable (not completely)
[20:15] <oink> great work!
[21:34] <euviuss> hi.  i just installed kubuntu 15.10 on my laptop using the entire disk.  at the end of the install i get this message:  The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
[21:35] <euviuss> im not dualbooting or anything.  what can i do to fix this
[21:42] <euviuss> its a fresh install so idk why id get an error
[21:58] <euviuss> im on the live usb, did anyone have an answer to my question
[21:59] <euviuss> trying to install kubuntu 15.10 fresh install, using entire disk
[22:01] <mparillo> Could you have UEFI?
[22:02] <euviuss> The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
[22:02] <euviuss> i dont know what uefi is
[22:02] <mparillo> !uefi
[22:02] <euviuss> oh, i guess i have bios
[22:03] <euviuss> i'll read that article. ty
[22:03] <mparillo> Sorry, that was my one idea.
[22:03] <euviuss> how can i install in bios mode
[22:05] <oem> When you power on the machine you need to press del or F2. And then you can choose
[22:06] <euviuss> Installed in UEFI mode
[22:06] <euviuss> ok i'l try  that. thx
[22:15] <euviuss> my live usb is uefi.  my computer is bios.  idk how that happened.  isnt there a live usb bios version of kubuntu
[22:20] <drleviathan> maybe this page could help you?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS
[22:20] <drleviathan> linked from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[22:20] <euviuss> ok
[22:21] <drleviathan> I haven't used it, but I did a google search for you
[22:21] <euviuss> i'll check that out
[22:21] <euviuss> i searched too but idk what im looking for
[22:28] <euviuss> i guses i'll have to go back to 14
[22:29] <euviuss> 14.10\
[22:34] <euviuss> isnt there a BIOS version of 15.10
[22:46] <mparillo> AFAIK, it is the same version. I was running 15.10 on BIOS machines.
[22:48] <euviuss> ok
[22:48] <euviuss> i think i messed up during install
[22:55] <mparillo> If you can still boot with your USB, you can just re-try.
[22:59] <euviuss> retry what
[22:59] <euviuss> im going to try goig back to 14.10
[22:59] <euviuss> hopefully that will work like before
[23:32] <ubuntourist> I'm running Ubuntu Studio, but like korganizer (and konversation). But on the Ubuntu Studio machine, I cannot make the week start on Sunday.  Suggestions? Can I edit a file to force it?
[23:33] <ubuntourist> Clarification: I cannot make Korganizer start the week on a Sunday.
[23:44] <ubuntourist> Rebooting after installs... BRB
