emIm experiencing the most bizzare behaviour on a fresh install of Kubuntu 15.10: When the laptop suspends while the lid is down... when I open the lid and restart the computer I discover that (many) *rando* widgets have been added to the desktop and panel. What widgets were there are also often shuffled around. Many random windows of random apps are opened up. Here is a screenshot of what I see (and this is not the worst I have seen it by far) http://i.imgur.com/00:00
emsee on the pannel how 3 copies of a dolphin widget were added to the left hand side. I didn't put those there. Those were just added seemingly randomly by the computer itself while the lid was down.00:01
emThis is the most bizare thing and I am not even sure how to google for this strange problem to look for answers. Why is it happening, what can be done? No one has any answers. It is a total mystery.00:03
geniiem: BTW that imgur URL is incomplete00:06
emhttp://i.imgur.com/RCHxldP.jpg00:06
emthat works right? ^00:07
valorieem: I'm seeing three instances of kate and three of zanshin upon restart00:07
valorieI'm going to assume that we have something in common00:08
valoriehowever, em: check to see that your desktop widgets are locked00:08
valoriethat should prevent any movement00:08
valoriefrom the "hamburger" menu00:09
valoriethere is one on the panel, and one on your desktop00:09
valorieI don't suspend, so I don't think it has anything to do with that00:09

valoriewoah, wait one minute!00:21
valorieliterally00:21
valorieem: looks like it is fixed in future versions00:23
valoriefor now, turn off "restore session" option00:23
emvalorie: oh good, thanks for this insight. You're great. So you have seen this problem also?00:28
emvalorie: yeah i don't know if suspending has anything to do with it. I don't actually *want* to suspend and I *thought* had disabled that. But sometimes the laptop seems to go to sleep despite my intentions.00:29
emanyhow im not sure that suspending has anything to do with it only that ive only come back to see random widgets randomly moved around and random windows opened after I resume usin the computer after ive had the lid down and i come back to it00:30
valorieas I said, do you have your widgets locked?00:30
valorieI never see that00:30
valorieotoh, I have no widgets on my desktop00:31
valorieonly on the panel, which I keep locked00:31
emim not too sure about widgets or how they work. I'll check.00:31
valorieit is a session-management problem which can be fixed by unchecking the "restore session" option00:31
valorieworkaround, but there ya go00:32

Maxirideguys it's normal that the konversation settings window is higher that my screen and I can't resize it?10:52
MaxirideI literally can't click the apply button xD10:53

soeemaybe its a sign to buy bigger screen :D10:56
soeeMaxiride: never had such issue tbh.10:56
Maxiridesoee: lol, I think it's quite a challange change only the screen on a laptop ahah11:00
soee:D11:01
Maxirideanyway I'll try to report it, should it go to kde bugs or directly to the konversation support?11:01

ubottuKDE bug 350608 in general "settings window too high" [Major,Unconfirmed]11:03
OerHeksin gnome i can hold ALT and drag with  left-mouse ..11:03
MaxirideOerHeks:  yeah me too, but the top border of the window won't go "outside" of the visible area, solo I still can't reach the bottom buttons.11:04
=== root is now known as Guest98521
OerHeksresize the window then?11:05
Maxiridecan't.. I can resize it to increase it's width\height, but I can reduce the height till a certain limit which is however more than my screen height11:05
vyluMaxiride: It should be possible to move windows with Alt + Left mouse button. What do you mean "it won't go outside of the visible area"?11:19
Maxiridevylu: uh damn, I was moving it by clicking an empty area in the window. If done this way the settings window just stop moving upside when the top margin of the window reach the top margin of the screen.11:23
MaxirideDoing alt + click instead let me move it freely and I can move it "outside" of the screen11:23
Maxirideby visibile area I was referring to the actual physical margins of the screen btw11:24

sithlord48i have not used pigin in a long time but i don't seam to ever remember file transfer working14:42
oquidavesithlord48: when was the last time you used it? If it's a client problme, does that mean I could be lucky with another IM client14:49
oquidavesithlord48: the IM client that comes with Kubuntu simply crashes when I try to add an account. It never works14:49

MaxirideI'm not very familiar with the KSystemLog app. I've just had a crash on the whole machine, CPU went 100% (as I saw from the system tray widget), and the HDD I/O led on the laptop started blinking no stop, almost always on. Mouse didn't respond, pressing BLOCK NUM key also won't change the physical led on\off. I waited a minute and then forced a shutdown by holding down the power button on the laptop.15:52
MaxirideAs said I just wrote down the time it occured, but KSystemLog doesn't have any red line..15:53
Maxiridealso I just noticed that the timestamps in syslog are 1h+ than my real time.. :\15:54
Maxirideeven more weird is that one of the latest entries is marked at 17:18 when it's 16:57 for me.15:57

goddardacher88: to use the new version of qt libraries21:50
acher88yes, but for what? you can get qt latest from it's own website if you want to compile/develop against it21:51
smartdoes anyone know how to add Trash icon to the desktop? I added one but it's not changing the icon if full or empty21:52
acher88installing native systems packages from ppa etc on 14.04 may break things the need the older versions21:52

FinetundraCan anyone here help me with ndiswrapper23:01
Finetundra?23:01
geniiFinetundra: Why do you believe you require ndiswrapper?23:05
Finetundragenii: because I haven't found a linux driver for my wireless card and any ways that have a chance of working require internet which I have no way of getting currently23:07
Finetundrawell internet for the machine I need the driver on23:07
acher88goddard: if you need a version newer than the qt4/qt5 available in 14.04 then either upgrade to a newer k/ubuntu version that has it23:07
acher88or if just needed to develop/comila against it can be got standalone from http://www.qt.io/download/23:08
acher88*compile against23:08
geniiFinetundra: to set up ndiswrapper would also require internet access on that machine, so this makes little sense23:10
geniiFinetundra: What card is it, and what does lspci or lsusb say about it?23:10
acher88been a long long while since I've needed ndiswrapper for wireless on any machine23:10
geniiacher88: Yes, exactly. Either it actually does work or there's probably somne other issue23:11
Finetundragenii: I planned to use the tarball. the card is a netgear Wnda3100v223:11
geniiDon't start messing around with tarballs23:12
acher88so somewhat similar to - http://askubuntu.com/questions/568056/usb-wireless-netgear-adapter23:13
Finetundragenii: I don't have much of a choice23:13
Finetundraacher88: won't help as there is no way to connect this machine to internet23:14
acher88fine. I don't see any problem with getting the packages/driver onto your machine in other ways, as long as it works for you23:15
genii!offline23:15
ubottuIf you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD23:15
acher88cab't download on another machine and put on usb?23:16
acher88using such as script ^^23:16
FinetundraI'm not sure what you mean acher8823:18
geniiFinetundra: What operating system is the machine you accessing the internet with right now using?23:18
Finetundraubuntu23:18
geniiThen use the way ubottu describes23:19
Finetundragenii: which machine should I be using synaptic on?23:20
josef_hello can someone see my text?23:20
Finetundrajosef_: yes23:21
geniiFinetundra: Since the one which is not connected to the internet cannot obviously get a package list from which to make an install script, the one which is connected. Hopefully they both use same version of *buntu23:23
Finetundragenii: so now that I have that script, what do I do with it?23:26
geniiFinetundra: You run the script, which dowloads the files on the computer you are using. Then put them from that computer on something like a USB stick. Plug it into the other machine. Access the files it downloaded on that machine and install them.23:27
valoriewow, that script would have been useful to me a couple of times23:30
geniiHeh :)23:31
valorielike the time I removed network manager before downloading and installing an alternative23:31
valoriepebkac23:31
geniiYou can also use --print-uris feature of apt to a file, but then you have to parse it a bit to get straight urls23:32
FinetundraAnd as a second issue, can someone help me with installing the drivers for a asus PCE-N53 wireless card?23:44
valorieFinetundra: is driver-manager not working for you?23:49
Finetundrahuh?23:50
valoriejust type driver-manager into krunner (alt+space or alt+f2)23:51
FinetundraHow would that help though?23:51
valorieit will download and install the best choices of drivers23:52
valorieif you have the card installed already23:52
Finetundravalorie: the system has no internet connection23:52
Finetundrathis is a major part of the issue23:53
valorieah, got it23:53
geniiSo this machine with the netgear not working, if it has a connector to plug a network cable, I would recommend using it to temporarily get it online by hooking it directly to your router23:54
