[01:44] <cjwelborn> It's quiet in here, so let me tell about a bug I had. I usually alt+tab through windows, but decided to try the "flip switch" for once. It immediately crashed, and my keyboard stopped working. I logged out, and back in. The keyboard worked for lightdm, my ttys, and logging in to kde as root, but not for my user. I looked it up, and it was a known bug. Something about a deadlock/race-condition and releasing devices. Anyway, I decided to
[01:44] <cjwelborn> upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 because the bug mentioned it had been fixed. Started the upgrade, got about half through and the do-release-upgrade gui froze because input was needed ("okay to overwrite modifed bash.bashrc?"). I tried for a while to repair my broken system. The software channels had already been switched over. I was met with error after error from apt. Mostly dependency errors, but one UnicodeDecodeError from python-tk (which
[01:44] <cjwelborn> was weird). Anyway, At that point I gave up. I recently rsynced my home directory, and I copied my newest work to a usb stick from a tty. Sorry for a wall of text. I was waiting for a LTS before trying plasma 5, but I'm here now. I do like it, even though things don't seem quite as stable as my old system. I'm sure it will be ironed out soon. Thank you for your time. :)
[01:46] <cjwelborn> Basically I wiped that one partition and started fresh with a Kubuntu 15.10 install.
[01:49] <cjwelborn> Oh, and the flip switch works fine now.
[04:19] <gdhl> hi everyone!
[04:21] <soee> hi gdhl
[04:23] <gdhl> i just starting irc cli using irssi, that's cool
[04:25] <soee> :D
[10:11] <benvantende> Does anyone know where the Wacom configuration has gone to in 15.10. It used to be in system IIRC
[10:13] <hateball> benvantende: krunner -> wacom, does that return anything?
[10:16] <benvantende> hateball: sorry for my ignorance. where do i run krunner?
[10:16] <hateball> benvantende: oh, alt+space by default
[10:17] <hateball> if you've upgraded from an earlier release it might still be bound to alt+f2
[10:17] <benvantende> of course ;) but no
[10:17] <hateball> how about....
[10:17] <benvantende> right
[10:17] <hateball> "tablet" ?
[10:17] <hateball> otherwise, searching in the k-menu should give same results
[10:17] <hateball> kickoff, whatever
[10:19] <benvantende> no it is not there. i also tried looking for something installable, but there seems to be nothing for wacom anymore. i am sure there is, but just can't find it.
[10:19] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:21] <benvantende> morning!
[10:22] <lordievader> Hey benvantende
[10:22] <hateball> benvantende: sadly I am on 14.04 at work so I cannot say where it can be
[10:22] <hateball> benvantende: is there a dedicated "input" thing?
[10:22] <hateball> maybe it's grouped with touchpad/mouse or something
[10:22] <benvantende> thing?
[10:23] <benvantende> ahh
[10:23] <Smurphy> *lol* trying to install kubuntu 14.04.3 on a new Dell laptop. What a mess ...
[10:25] <lordievader> benvantende: Seems like the wacom kcm is not ported to KF5 yet, propably need to use the old systemsettings to configure it.
[10:26] <benvantende> lordievader: right. that was what i was thinking. so how to invoke that?
[10:26] <lordievader> benvantende: kcmshell4 kcm_wacomtablet
[10:27] <benvantende> lordievader: duhhh - could not find module  'kcm_wacomtablet'
[10:28] <lordievader> Is it installed?
[10:29] <benvantende> Unable to locate package kcm_wacomtablet
[10:30] <lordievader> Not sure if it is the same for 15.10, but under 14.04 the package is called kde-config-tablet
[10:30] <lordievader> !info kde-config-tablet
[10:31] <lordievader> Ahh...
[10:34] <lordievader> Hmm, [1] leads me to believe it does exist in wily. [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/amd64/kde-config-tablet/2.0-2
[10:34] <hateball> benvantende: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347022#c5
[10:35] <hateball> there is also a comment further down about getting it work the gui way
[10:35] <benvantende> right
[10:35] <benvantende> but not easy :(
[10:35] <hateball> So it goes
[10:36] <hateball> The cli way seems pretty simple tho
[10:37] <benvantende> OK thanks for looking into it.
[10:46] <Yossarianuk> hi - as Plasma 5.6 is out in March , does that mean 16.04 will use that ? -> http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/kde-plasma-5-6-to-land-on-march-22-2016-will-have-five-point-releases-498545.shtml
[10:46] <Yossarianuk> or is that a question for #kubuntu-devel ?
[10:49] <mparillo> It was asked yesterday, and the answer was probably backports (http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/01/06/%23kubuntu-devel.html#t20:44).
[11:01] <Yossarianuk> mparillo: thats a shame really....
[11:01] <Yossarianuk> After 3 - 5 years Plasma 5.5 will look more stale than 5.6.  One of the reasons Kubuntu is a good KDE based distro is that it usually has the latest stable KDE/Plasma release.
[11:04] <lordievader> Yossarianuk: Hence the backports? 14.04 also has an ancient Plasma4, with backports it is less ancient.
[11:06] <Yossarianuk> lordievader: sure, and I do understand that the time frame isn't good I guess for an LTS release...
[11:07] <Yossarianuk> In some ways it would be better if you could defer releases to fit in with KDE/Plasma release schedule..
[12:58] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[15:22] <Smurphy> Hmm. Anyone knows how to get the Trash show up on the desktop in Kubuntu 14.04.3 LTS ?
[15:22] <Smurphy> I'm also missing it in 15.10 BTW ...
[15:23] <marco-parillo> Add Widgets > Trashcan ?
[15:24] <Smurphy> Yep. In 15.10 it worked. Didn't find it in 14.04.3.
[15:25] <marco-parillo> Sorry, I do not have 14.04.3 around now to check
[15:37] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  think it's folder view in desktop settings
[15:38] <hateball> hmmm, I am 14.04.3, and I have a trash can applet in the tray... I cant seem to find where I would another one however
[15:38] <hateball> add*
[15:46] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: I have Folder view. I always change back from whatever is default.
[15:46] <Smurphy> But the trash won't show up.
[15:46] <yu> the latest systemupdate wasnt good, screen is flickering after it, I havent accepted any unstable sources :(
[15:50] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  what about trash in dolphin places?
[15:53] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  can you drag the trash icon from dolphin onto the desktop in 15.10, it works here in desktop view on 16.04
[15:56] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  or use the add widgets in the context menu on the desktop
[15:56] <Smurphy> Widget didn't work for 14.04.3 - had to create a desktop file. Works now.
[15:57] <Smurphy> Under 15.10 the widget existed and works. Thx.
[15:57] <Smurphy> BTW - do you know a way to force a DNS Server in Ubuntu ?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  add the dns IPs in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d base with root permissions , just igniore the warnings about resolv.conf being overwritten, it works
[16:09] <BluesKaj> kdesudo dolphin /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d in the run command is the method I use, altho afaik if your router allows dns entries that's usually the best place
[16:10] <yu> just remembered I added a new package... so after deleting its no more graphics issues....anyway is there any possible way to make flash work in kubuntu?
[16:13] <BluesKaj> flash works in kubuntu if you have flashplugin-installer installed. It works in FF ...chromium has issues, but chrome-browser works ok, altho it has it's own flash version
[16:15] <BluesKaj> yu: ^
[16:44] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: it's for overwriting the DNS of the DHCPD ...
[16:45] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  static IP on your LAN ?
[16:45] <BluesKaj> might work
[16:54] <bartosz_> hi
[16:54] <bartosz_> i'm using kubuntu right now and I would try a kde 5.5?
[16:55] <bartosz_> what do you think is it okay now or still need to wait for upgrades?
[16:56] <yofel> we're close to having 5.5 done, but it's still not ready for general consumption
[16:57] <marco-parillo> I think I heard that soee: has been mostly successful, but I doubt I could replicate his success, so I am waiting. If you lurk in #kubuntu-devel you will see the packagers making progress.
[16:58] <BluesKaj> yofel:  is it in the ppas? I'm willing to take a chance since I'm testing 16.04 anyway
[16:59]  * genii consumes another coffee
[16:59] <bartosz_> ok I will wait. I'm not an advanced user
[16:59] <BluesKaj> finished my coffee ration for the day
[17:00] <yofel> I'll tell you in -devel

[18:21] <oibe_bourne> Hello everyone. I'm using a Kubuntu derivate (Netrunner). Could anyone give me a short comment on a few network related issues I find to be a bit strange?
[18:23] <oibe_bourne> Though I disabled IPv6 by boot parameter, and lsmod doesn't show any IPv6 modules at all, "netstat -a" still shows tcp6 connections. How is this possible?

[20:07] <Skyrider> Yay, just installed kubuntu.. and already a crash :(
[20:25] <clivejo> Skyrider: where did it crash?
[20:44] <Skyrider> clivejo: as far as I know, system was updating and I was switching monitor (laptop to tv)
[20:44] <Skyrider> Mouse was lagging, a lot.. and then, poom. crash
[20:44] <Skyrider> at least, a process crashed
[20:45] <clivejo> it should pop telling you what crashed?
[20:48] <Skyrider> Indeed it did.
[20:48] <Skyrider> Plasma?
[20:48] <Skyrider> Either way, things works now. For now ^^..
[20:49] <Skyrider> Now I have to figure out, 1), how to make a share (I already made a share by directory properies, but cant find it in windows).
[20:49] <Skyrider> and 2). Why the screen won't fall back to laptop when I unplug the HDMI cable.
[20:54] <Skyrider> Guess I got the first one.
[21:09] <clivejo> Skyrider: what distro/version of Kubuntu?
[21:09] <Skyrider> 15.10
[21:09] <Skyrider> Makes me wonder as well that kodi is now in window mode, but is refusing to go full-screen.
[21:10] <Skyrider> Regardless I nicely click the "full screen" button, top right.
[21:10] <BlueProtoman> Anyone use Kimchi?  I'm trying to install it on Kubuntu 15.10, but it's taking *forever*; I think the installer might actually be stuck in an infinite loop.
[21:12] <genii> !info kimchi
[21:13] <genii> From the size, it shouldn't take too long to install. So yes, likely there's some issue
[21:18] <BlueProtoman> genii: How can I abort installing it?  Sure, Ctrl+C, but then I have to screw around with dpkg--what kind of screwing around should I do?
[21:20] <genii> BlueProtoman: Probably no other way except that, unfortunately. I'd recommend doing a sudo apt-get purge kimchi   after that, and see if it recommends the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[21:21] <genii> BlueProtoman: If you do apt-get download kimchi   ...and then try manual install with sudo dpkg -i <kimchi-packagename-here>   it may give some more informative output about what's happening
[21:22] <Skyrider> Can someone tell me how to alter the \ key in kubuntu?
[21:22] <Skyrider> It appears to alter/change the full/window size? At least, it does in kodi.
[21:25] <BlueProtoman> genii: At this point I don't care about installing kimchi, I just want to remove it.
[21:34] <Skyrider> Mmhhh
[21:34] <Skyrider> When I close the laptop, nothing happens.
[21:35] <genii> BlueProtoman: So then just the ctrl-c and then sudo apt-get purge kimchi  ...and if it complains and mentions to run sudo dpkg -reconfigure -a  ..then do that as well
[21:37] <Skyrider> Fixed it.
[21:38] <BlueProtoman> genii: Did that.  No luck.  http://pastebin.com/jmsV60me
[21:42] <genii> BlueProtoman: So it looks like there is a directive in /var/lib/dpkg/info/kimchi.postrm   to stop nginx but it can't because the install never finished and got around to starting it
[21:43] <genii> BlueProtoman: You could install nginx, get it to start, then do the kimchi removal, then remove nginx
[21:44] <genii> Or edit the postrm file to just comment out the nginx parts
[21:45] <buriedalive> BlueProtoman u have a debian?
[21:46] <buriedalive> debian with kde?
[21:46] <BlueProtoman> genii: Thanks!
[21:47] <BlueProtoman> buriedalive: Kubuntu.  But it's no longer relevant, genii's advice worked!
[22:09] <BlueProtoman> How can I add custom entries to the context menu for Dolphin (e.g. so I can mouse over some PDFs and compress them)?
[22:17] <kubuntu_> Hi all. Im a long time Kubuntu user, at least 3 years. I think this distro needs to survive because KDE is awesome and Ubuntu base is mainstream. I am aware of the leadership and organizational changes and the tough time Kubuntu is having right now, so Im willing to help. In which practical ways can someone with no programming abilities help Kubuntu?
[22:18] <kubuntu_> Btw FWIW, I just created a launchpad account to submit a bug report with Kubuntu 16.04 daily build installer
[22:21] <kubuntu_> .
[22:24] <krytarik> kubuntu_: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/GettingInvolved
[22:25] <krytarik> kubuntu_: Basically, join #kubuntu-devel and go from there.
[22:43] <sleeper> hi
[22:44] <sleeper> est se que c'est possible d'installer whatsapp sur kubuntu ?
[22:46] <genii> sleeper: Can you communicate en anglais?
[22:47] <sleeper> how i can install whatsapp on my kubuntu ? you think it's possible
[22:48] <genii> sleeper: Whatsapp is an android application, they do not normally run in Ubuntu. However, there is an extension for Google Chrome web browser which will let you use Android applications in Ubuntu.
[22:49] <genii> sleeper: So first you install Chrome or Chromium, then go to http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/09/install-android-apps-ubuntu-archon  and follow the instructions there to be able to use Android applications such as whatsapp
[22:51] <sleeper> thank you , it's very helpfull ...
[22:52] <genii> sleeper: di rien :)
[22:53] <sleeper> :D you are franch , and you are making fun of me right now :D

[22:58] <genii> Cool
[23:04] <uebera||> Hi there. Is it possible to download an updated version of the 15.10 image from an official source and/or is there a howto/best practice regarding slipstreaming?
[23:07] <sleeper> genii do you know some good antivirus ?
[23:07] <sleeper> i think someone is hacking my laptop
[23:08] <genii> sleeper: Generally you will not require an antivirus on Linux. But of you really want one to use before sending files to people with Windows, ClamAV is mostly used
[23:09] <Skyrider> Maybe someone can help me with something..
[23:09] <Skyrider> I'm running kodi, and whenever I close the laptop (sleep mode) and turning it back on
[23:09] <genii> sleeper: It is very unlikely that your Ubuntu is compromised. But you can check that with for instance ckrootkit
[23:09] <Skyrider> The audio is dead.
[23:09] <sleeper> ok , i will search
[23:09] <Skyrider> I don't have this issue on windows.
[23:09] <genii> sleeper: chkrootkit  ..rather
[23:12] <genii> uebera||: Official images are here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/15.10/release/  if you had some previous 15.10 image, you can use zsync to download only the diff of the two images, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage
[23:18] <genii> Skyrider: What is the result of: grep LidSwitch /etc/systemd/logind.conf     ?
[23:18] <uebera||> genii: I got that image, thanks, but it's roughly three months old. What I want is to put an up-to-date version (like I use on other machines) on an USB stick without having to invoke apt-get upgrade in a second step.
[23:18] <Skyrider> #HandleLidSwitch=suspend / #HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore / #LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
[23:18] <Skyrider> I also found this: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=147709
[23:19] <genii> uebera||: Unfortunately there is not currently something better
[23:20] <genii> uebera||: You could have an apt-caching machine on the network to make it somewhat less painful
[23:20] <genii> Skyrider: You can try changing suspend to ignore in the first one, and removing the #
[23:21] <Skyrider> Wont that keep my laptop on 24/7
[23:21] <genii> The usual powersaving things will happen due to idling, but yes, it won't go into suspend or hibernate
[23:22] <Skyrider> I prefer it to suspend.
[23:24] <Skyrider> maybe hibernate will help.
[23:27] <genii> Skyrider: Well, you could experiment and see. But if your power saving settings are such that it will go into suspend or hibernate anyhow after a period of idle, the bahaviour will not really change much from just having it trigger from closing the lid,
[23:28] <Skyrider> I can't seem to be using hiberate
[23:28] <Skyrider> *hibernate.
[23:28] <genii> uebera||: Conceivably you can make an install CD/DVD from an up-to-date installed system, but I personally haven't done that and would be of little help
[23:28] <Skyrider> I changed it to HandleLidSwitch=hibernate - but the KDE? I believe power settings are in the way.
[23:28] <Skyrider> Maybe overwriting the conf file.
[23:29] <Skyrider> Plus, the energy/power management in kubuntu has no hibernate option.
[23:29] <Skyrider> Only sleep, shutdown, etc.
[23:30] <genii> Skyrider: Hibernate being missing can either be due to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1296133  or that you do not have a sufficient amount of swap set aside to do so
[23:30] <Skyrider> got 8gb swap :)
[23:32] <genii> Skyrider: The bug summary is basically that pm-utils is not installed by default, after installing it and a restart, the options become available
[23:32] <uebera||> genii: No problem, I asked in #ubuntu as well. (And I think I know the necessary steps to do it manually, but don't want to reinvent the wheel while trying to automate it) :)
[23:34] <genii> uebera||: After freeze time in the release schedule, the iso file remains immutable but the repositories continue to get updates, since *buntu is not a rolling release. If brave you could go to Xenial daily iso releases
[23:40] <sleeper> genii one more quastion , the last one , you think i can remote linux in my phone ? i have Nokia Lumia 520 ?
[23:40] <uebera||> genii: I will be using the boot image to set up a server using dm-crypt/zfs, so 16.04 is a bit too risky for my liking ;) -- For the record: What I was looking for is more or less along these lines: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[23:41] <Skyrider> I also keep getting
[23:41] <Skyrider> "proprietary drivers might be required to enable additional features"
[23:42] <Skyrider> no idea how to "do" anyhing about it, as the info/pop-up does nothing at all
[23:42] <Skyrider> all I can press is default or OK.
[23:42] <genii> sleeper: To clarify: You want to run an X server on your phone and use your PCs desktop remotely? Or are you thinking something different, like ssh or adb ?
[23:42] <valorie> !info kubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:42] <valorie> Skyrider: install that ^^^
[23:43] <sleeper> no i want have ubuntu on my phone , not windows phone
[23:43] <Skyrider> Done.
[23:43] <genii> Skyrider: As valorie indicates, you might want that package. It can also be due to having a radeon or nvidia card where there are binary drivers available but not installed
[23:43] <sleeper> like to boot with linux
[23:44] <Skyrider> is it really d/ling exe files?
[23:44] <Skyrider> And ya, using radeon.
[23:44] <genii> sleeper: I think many Nokia can dual boot and use Linux, the N900 I know certainly does, but your model I do not know
[23:44] <Skyrider> No idea how to 'update' it as I cant find radeon/adm in the software manager.
[23:44] <Skyrider> **amd
[23:45] <genii> !nvidia
[23:45] <genii> Hm
[23:45] <genii> !info nvidia-current
[23:45] <genii> Skyrider: You may need to enable the "restricted" repository
[23:48] <Skyrider> Actually, that restricted extra's did the trick.
[23:49] <Skyrider> http://i.imgur.com/GZeou3e.jpg
[23:49] <Skyrider> Which one to use?
[23:49] <Skyrider> For my ATI.
[23:49] <Skyrider> I can see recommended, but making sure.
[23:51] <genii> Usually the recommended, yes
[23:52] <genii> Ah, sleeper left. I was going to tell him about Tizen :)
[23:53] <krytarik> Skyrider: The first two are the mentioned proprietary ones though.
[23:57] <Skyrider> ah
[23:57] <genii> back shortly
