[01:59] <keithzg> Anyone know how to get the KDiff3 context menu options back in Plasma 5?
[03:07]  * keithzg will try and remember to ask again first thing tomorrow at work, heh
[04:25] <XOverride> Hello from this side
[05:35] <aviss> IRC is just a multiplayer notepad
[12:00] <Godolphinhill> Just clean installed Kubuntu 15.10 and need to restore my backed up files which are on a usb stick  called Kingston by my computer. How do I do this please?
[12:01] <hateball> Godolphinhill: No one in here knows how or what you backuped
[12:01] <hateball> Godolphinhill: So we'll need a bit more detail
[12:07] <Godolphinhill> I backed up my documents. They're in .gz files on the usb stick
[12:12] <hateball> Godolphinhill: So unpack them where you see fit
[12:53] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:59] <em> every time my computer is left unused for too long it bugs out - logs me out or does other things and then when I log back in I see that random things have been opened and changed. Like this time there were a ton of apps I never opened and websites from my browser history were added to the bookmarks.
[13:00] <em> actually looks like its not from history. It is stuff I had bookmarked, it just wasn't on the toolbar before.
[13:05] <BluesKaj> em, what length of time are you talking about here?
[13:07] <em> BluesKaj: Like over night.
[13:10] <BluesKaj> perhaps you have updates and upgrades set to auto install unattended updates in the update manager
[13:40] <em> it happened again
[13:40] <em> this isnt like normal stuff showing up
[13:40] <em> its completely random stuff
[13:40] <em> like all the tabs in google tht were open slpit into diffferent window
[13:41] <em> akregator oepnded
[13:41] <em> restore session opened
[13:41] <em> all random things i never touched
[13:41] <em> opened
[13:41] <em> every time i return to the computer it is like some monkey has been opening random crap
[13:41] <em> often so much that i just have to turn it off and start over
[13:42] <em> I think maybe Kubuntu 15.10 is just not ready to be released.
[13:50] <Smurphy> em: it is. You sure you didn't get yourself a trojan horse, or one of your fellas is playing on you ?
[13:52] <em> im not sure, maybe unetbootin made it buggy?
[13:53] <Smurphy> can't say. Booting normally
[13:57] <BluesKaj> em, are you sure there isn't some one accessing the computer while you're away or asleep or..... is this possible?
[13:59] <BluesKaj> unetbootin only worked for me about 50% of my install tries, but I never experienced ant strange behavior on the successful installs
[14:00] <BluesKaj> so I switched to using dd to copy the iso to usb
[14:04] <OerHeks> make sure you sync after that.
[14:16] <hateball> em: does this happen if you lock the screen before closing the lid as well?
[16:06] <karamba> Hi
[16:06] <karamba> Could anybody please help me with graphics settings under kubuntu 15.10?
[16:07] <karamba> I just put the old hard disk of my old computer into my brand new computer (Asus z170-A motherboard, Samsung Syncmaster monitor).
[16:08] <karamba> Even though the Samsung shows HD when detecting the signal, everything is off screen after loggin in.
[16:08] <karamba> Before I had a 19" now I have a 27".
[16:25] <BluesKaj> karamba, swapping in a HDD from a different pc that has differnt hardware than the target pc is always going cause problems due to drivers and graphics, audio and file configurations etc.
[16:26] <BluesKaj> never a good idea
[16:26] <karamba> BluesKaj: So I have to reinstall the system? :( ?
[16:26] <BluesKaj> yes, that's the best approach
[16:28] <OerHeks> karamba, same graphic card? if not, login ctrl alt F1:  sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall  # and reboot after that, might work for you
[16:29] <karamba> Not same card, completely new PC. Built it today. Thx I will try
[16:30] <BluesKaj> OerHeks, cool , never saw that command or attempt to rescue, before
[16:31] <OerHeks> sudo ubuntu-drivers list# will show available drivers
[16:31] <BluesKaj> if he can get to the VT
[16:31] <OerHeks> autoinstall installs the whole bunch, if available, vga, wifi, microcode
[16:31] <karamba> I ran the command but the output was: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded
[16:31] <OerHeks> yeah, i hope he can
[16:32] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get update &&  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # might fix that
[16:34] <karamba> This is only installing a new kernel now
[16:34] <BluesKaj> sudo ubuntu-drivers list# errors out here
[16:35] <BluesKaj> but sudo ubuntu-drivers list works
[16:35] <OerHeks> that # was meant for the comment, sorry
[16:36] <BluesKaj> yeah  i wondered about the #
[16:40] <karamba> I can not read a few chars on termnial 1 becaue it is off screen. but this command produces something like -microdoce
[16:40] <karamba> -microcode
[16:42] <BluesKaj> karamba, microcode is an optional app for your cpu
[16:42] <BluesKaj> !microcode
[16:43] <BluesKaj> !info microcode
[16:44] <karamba> BluesKaj: What do you mean?
[16:44] <karamba> Or what do I do?
[16:45] <BluesKaj> karamba, it's an optional package for your cpu to acquire patches
[16:46] <karamba> BluesKaj: So should I install it?
[16:46] <BluesKaj> just leave it for now, unless it's ready to install'
[16:47] <karamba> What do you mean by "unless it is ready to install"? So I can not do anything then I guess.
[16:47] <BluesKaj> install if youwish, don't think it will damage anything
[16:48] <BluesKaj> I have it installed on my pc without any ill effects
[16:48] <karamba> sudo apt-get install microcode --> package microcode not found
[16:50] <BluesKaj> depends on your cpu, AMD64-microcode, or intel-microcode
[16:50] <karamba> intel
[16:51] <BluesKaj> then install intel-microcode
[16:51] <karamba> -micocode is already the latest version
[16:51] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:52] <karamba> I just find it amazing that there is no command to the Ubuntu to reconfigure graphics, i.e. do what you normally do when installing a new system.
[16:52] <BluesKaj> have you updated and upgraded with apt? if so run sudo apt dist-upgrade as well
[16:53] <karamba> Yeah, I did that.
[16:53] <OerHeks> karamba, so what gpu is in your new pc? intel only?
[16:53] <BluesKaj> karamba, depends on the gpu , the installer looks at the hardware and installs the default driver
[16:54] <OerHeks> intel is supported with the kernel fine.
[16:54] <BluesKaj> yeah try st\artx
[16:54] <BluesKaj> startx rather
[16:56] <karamba> OerHeks: this is it: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-A/specifications/
[17:00] <OerHeks> It might be worth a fresh install, after backing up your data
[17:05] <bartosz_> hello
[17:06] <bartosz_> i've installed qmmp for mp3 but now when I download smth on firefox, and I want to open the folder where is downloaded program in FF, the folder does'nt open. Opens QMMP :/
[17:06] <bartosz_> helo
[17:06] <bartosz_> program = file
[17:07] <BluesKaj> bartosz_, default DL file on kubuntu is /home/user/Downloads  in FF
[17:08] <bartosz_> i know but I hitting the download arrow in FF
[17:08] <bartosz_> and near downloaded file is the icon of small folder
[17:08] <bartosz_> when I hit it Qmmp opens
[17:08] <BluesKaj> just try opening the downloads file
[17:08] <bartosz_> thats not a satisfying sollution
[17:09] <bartosz_> i want to open the "overriding" folder
[17:09] <BluesKaj> really? ..seems simple enough to me
[17:09] <BluesKaj> there is no overriding folder
[17:09] <bartosz_> im translating
[17:09] <bartosz_> Ok
[17:10] <bartosz_> you have and arrow in FF with downloaded files
[17:10] <bartosz_> hit the arrow
[17:10] <bartosz_> near downloaded file, on the right side is the gray folder
[17:10] <bartosz_> when i hit that qmmp opens not dolphin
[17:11] <BluesKaj> this is trivial , just open the the home/user/Downloads file and you'll see your mp3 there
[17:12] <bartosz_> the file is not a mp3
[17:12] <bartosz_> its a rar
[17:12] <bartosz_> but Dolphin should open!
[17:12] <bartosz_> this icon doesn't open the file but the directory where the file is!
[17:13] <BluesKaj> perhaps because it's a rar file
[17:14] <bartosz_> ok ill give you a screenshot, you don't get it
[17:14] <BluesKaj> anyway i don't open files in my current dir whith a browser
[17:14] <bartosz_> ok but i do and i would like to fix it
[17:17] <BluesKaj> bartosz_, maybe tar files expect to be extracted not opened with a browser, has that ocurred to you?
[17:19] <bartosz_> http://zapodaj.net/5797746eeadfc.png.html
[17:19] <bartosz_> check this image
[17:20]  * BluesKaj shrugs like i said above it's a tar file
[17:21] <bartosz_> can you see the other files
[17:21] <bartosz_> is pdf a tar file?
[17:21] <BluesKaj> expects to be opened in the conr=texr menu with ark or extracted , not in a browser
[17:22] <BluesKaj> context menu
[17:22] <bartosz_> is a pdf a tar file?
[17:22] <BluesKaj> it can be iuf it's compressed
[17:22] <bartosz_> ok
[17:22] <bartosz_> but before installing qmmp it worked well and always dolphin was opened
[17:23] <bartosz_> so no, it's not beacuse tar files
[17:23] <BluesKaj> open it in dolphin , not FF and it will open with okular if it isn't tarred
[17:24] <bartosz_> BluesKaj: I want to (beacause i have gotten used to it for years) to open a dolphin by hitting the folder icon
[17:25] <bartosz_> like it was before installing qmmp
[17:56] <MichaelTunnell> valorie: are you around?
[18:02] <eins> hi
[18:03] <eins> hi
[18:03] <eins> does someone know what "~" does in bash?
[18:04] <eins> ?
[18:07] <MichaelTunnell> eins: depends on context
[18:07] <MichaelTunnell> it doesnt do just one thing
[18:08] <MichaelTunnell> if you have a script already using then put that in a pastebin somewhere
[18:10] <eins> im sorry im new in linux, im left windows a couple of months ago, im trying to install plugins in vim and in a tutorial says :e~/.vimrc
[18:10] <OerHeks> eins https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Tilde-Expansion.html
[18:11] <OerHeks> oh, ~/,vimrc = /home/$USER/.vimrc
[18:11] <OerHeks> ~ stands for short way of writing /home/$USER
[18:11] <eins> ohhhhhhh that!.....thank you
[18:12] <eins> leaving windows could be a mess without help
[18:12] <eins> thanks
[18:14] <OerHeks> yw
[18:14] <eins> could i ask my doubts here or its just for advanced programmers?
[18:15] <OerHeks> If it is about kubuntu, you are free to do so.
[18:17] <eins> ahh kubuntu, thanks pal.
[19:20] <shurtagul> So I cant right click the task bar or the desktop anymore unless its a systray icon or open window. Ive been trying to fix my packages because theyve been messed up and I have no clue how to go about fixing them. I accidentally upgraded to unstable before and have been trying to get all my packages downgraded since. Ive changed my sources to backports here http://i.imgur.com/NqqJqN1.png. Any clue how to go about getting all my packages to the same
[19:20] <shurtagul> versions
[19:23] <Guest53411> I have installed, 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1,  but the updater keeps wanting to update "down" to the latest version; 1000~37.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1~20150407.1550
[19:24] <Guest53411> how is it that ver 37 is higher than 43?
[19:27] <Guest53411> The software in question is Firefox
[19:29] <OerHeks> Guest53411, strange bug, if it is a bug, can you pastebin the output of your update?
[19:32] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:32] <Guest53411> The following packages will be upgraded:   firefox thunderbird xul-ext-calendar-timezones xul-ext-gdata-provider   xul-ext-lightning 5 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 72.1 MB of archives. After this operation, 17.5 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
[19:34] <OerHeks> so where do you read firefox 37 ?
[19:35] <Guest53411> it's not showing the versions but, in synaptic
[19:36] <OerHeks> Guest53411, can you show us the output of:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:37] <Guest53411> is shows firefox (version 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) will be upgraded to version 1000~37.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1~20150407.1550
[19:38] <OerHeks> i assume you have a PPA installed like https://launchpad.net/~moz-plasma/+archive/ubuntu/builds, but show us the output first, please
[19:38] <Guest53411> no firefox ppa is installed
[19:39] <OerHeks> ...
[19:39]  * OerHeks waiting
[19:40] <Guest53411> this is the output from synaptic for firefox; firefox (version 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) will be upgraded to version 1000~37.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1~20150407.1550
[19:40] <OerHeks> good, i leave you to it.
[19:42] <OerHeks> Its simple, that number 1000~37.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1~20150407.1550 points to a PPA only.
[19:43] <Guest53411> I'm looking at the properties of firefox and that version is being pulled from (Trusty)
[19:45] <Guest53411> in synaptic, clicking on properties of firefox, then clicking the tab versions, is where I find that info

[20:12] <Guest53411> my guess is since the maintainer Ubuntu Mozilla Team <ubuntu-mozillateam@lists.ubuntu.com> prefixed "1000" in front of the version number, it's picked as the latest version. which should not happen.
[20:23] <Pici> Guest53411: what does apt-cache policy firefox   say?

[20:25] <OerHeks> see, moz-plasma ppa.
[20:26] <Guest53411> lol, yes, now I see.
[20:26] <OerHeks> use ppa-purge to reverse that.

[20:33] <Guest53411> thank you OerHekcs, Pici & acher88---  I'm installing ppapurge now, then run the command.. brb
[20:37] <Guest53411> this is part of what I see now after running ppa-purge- dpkg: warning: downgrading firefox from 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 to 34.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.2~ppa2~trusty1 (Reading database ... 210555 files and directories currently installed.)

[20:38] <OerHeks> I assume after this operation, upgrading will bring you back to firefox 43+
[20:40] <acher88> the latest in the main archive for trust is firefox 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
[20:41] <acher88> unless there is some other ppa weirdness, you should get to that on next 'apt-get upgrade'
[20:42] <OerHeks> indeed acher88, i think he used that ppa since FF 34, so it knows this version only to roll back
[20:43] <Guest53411> apt-get update = sudo apt-get upgrade | nc termbin.com 9999  and upgrade = http://termbin.com/dr0e
[20:44] <Guest53411> http://termbin.com/0txq - apt-get update
[20:47] <OerHeks> Guest53411, i would hit 'y'
[20:48] <acher88> so what current version is now installed?

[20:49] <acher88> the 'candidate' listed previously suggests you still have some other firefox ppas enabled. perhaps https://launchpad.net/~blue-shell/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-kde for example
[20:49] <acher88> should not supersede the trusty main archive version though I think
[20:49] <Guest53411> well, least I have TB updated, that was another one that was stuck on an old version
[20:51] <Guest53411> "my apt-get update" output - http://termbin.com/0txq
[20:53] <acher88> firefox version now installed on your systems is?

[20:59] <OerHeks> ppa-purge ppa:netrunner-os/frontier-14
[20:59] <OerHeks> good hunting acher88
[20:59] <acher88> yep
[21:00] <acher88> they must have shoved an epoch or something on their version numbering to ensure their versions supersede the main ones
[21:00] <OerHeks> good thing, it helps determin what might be going on.
[21:01] <Guest53411> it's updating the list now
[21:02] <acher88> or some other method
[21:02] <acher88> get rid of that and 43.0.4 from the main trusty archive should hopefully be the main upgrade candidate
[21:03] <Guest53411> ok the output not looking good this time.. is there a way to post all the ouput here?
[21:04] <OerHeks> copy paste to https://paste.kde.org/
[21:05] <acher88> looking at the contents of that ppa, I would not be surprised if purging it gives a lot of output

[21:06] <Guest53411> https://paste.kde.org/pcxmpbnkq
[21:08] <OerHeks> ouch, big list indeed.
[21:09] <acher88> looks mostly ok. you expect some fallout.
[21:09] <Guest53411> lol, some..
[21:09] <acher88> I assume you are wanting a standard kubuntu desktop?
[21:11] <Guest53411> Hmm, the DT I have is fine, not sure how the standard will be
[21:12] <acher88> so the netrunner stuff can't go?
[21:12] <Guest53411> If it changes, I'll deal with it.. what I want is newest stable releases of fire fox & thunderbird
[21:13] <Guest53411> if netrunner is holding me back, then need to remove thier ppa
[21:13] <OerHeks> netrunner ppa makes appa for single versions, for wily 15.10 it is https://launchpad.net/~netrunner-os/+archive/ubuntu/netrunner-17-packages
[21:14] <devgeek> hi
[21:14] <acher88> you'd need to install the standard kde-workspace then after the purge, as looks like it won't revert to that on it's own
[21:17] <devgeek> how i can install tar.gz files
[21:17] <acher88> what exactly from where?
[21:20] <bprompt> devgeek:     a .tar.gz is just a compressed file, not an installation package
[21:23] <devgeek> tnx :)
[21:25] <devgeek> sorry friends my english is realy bad ^ـــ^
[21:32] <Guest53411> removed the Netrunner ppa and get this;  https://paste.kde.org/pz2aakyzd
[21:38] <keithzg> Anyone know how to get the KDiff3 context menu options back in Plasma 5?
[21:38] <keithzg> (ie. integration with Dolphin/Konqueror/etc)
[21:39] <keithzg> Guest53411: Sounds about right, netrunner has a bunch of modifications/updates/etc to those packages and you'll be ostensibly returning to the base version of Kubuntu if you remove their PPA.
[21:43] <Guest53411> I'll see what happens now.. ppa removed and firefox now back to ver 43.. but needs to restart FF.. might as well restart system. brb
[21:44] <acher88> Guest53411: may have to 'dpkg -P --force-all netrunner-artwork' to fully get rid of the netrunner artwork package
[21:45] <acher88> at least FF is correct version
[21:45] <acher88> might do 'sudo apt-get install kde-workspace' before you restart
[21:45] <Guest53411> okay thanks.. lol, all tis just to keep FF at current stable version..
[21:46] <acher88> the problem with ppas
[21:46] <Guest53411> oh yeah, almost forgot kde-workspace.. thanks.. or I'd have another mess
[21:47] <acher88> many are fine, but some do some odd things on overiding default packages and versions, and when they stop getting updated can be a real pain
[22:02] <N3X15> Any fix available for scrolling via scrollwheel causing random movement in both directions?  Using Logitech MX518 via VirtualBox 5.0.14 on Windows host.
[22:09] <Guest53411> Thank you!  Firefox is updated and system is running fine without the netrunner ppa.
[22:34] <keithzg> N3X15: You mean that Kubuntu is the guest and Windows is the host? (I use the *exact* same setup myself but reversed; venerable old MX518 as my mouse, Kubuntu as my host, Windows machines as my guests)
[22:34] <N3X15> Yes
[22:34] <keithzg> Hmm. Can't say I have any experience directly with that then; you might want to just ask over in #vbox
[22:35] <N3X15> Well, Vbox claims the problem is with Qt
[22:35] <N3X15> And qt said they fixed the problem in 5.5
[22:37] <N3X15> https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40829 Here's the bug report for that.
[22:37] <keithzg> N3X15: And you're running which version of Kubuntu? I actually was under the impression that Kubuntu 15.10 was still on Qt 5.4
[22:37] <N3X15> Whatever wily is
[22:37] <keithzg> Yeah, that's 15.10. Which is still Qt 5.4, then.
[22:38] <N3X15> Crap.
[22:38] <N3X15> Guess I'll have to use the arrow keys for a while longer.  Thanks.
[22:39] <keithzg> No problem, N3X15; the next release (Xenial) should have Qt 5.5.
[23:09] <Fritigern> N3X15: note that the current alpha of Xenial does not yet have 5.5 (I just updated my VM to make sure)
[23:10] <N3X15> Yeah, not making the jump to unstable just yet
[23:10] <N3X15> Thanks for letting me know, however.
[23:10] <Fritigern> You could of course run it in a VM to see the current state.
[23:11] <N3X15> That's the thing, it's already a VM :P
[23:11] <Fritigern> You know you can have more than one VM, right? :-)
[23:12] <ubernoob> whats the tester channel called?
[23:13] <Fritigern> I would guess it's called #test
[23:14] <ubernoob> just wondering cause i've upgraded to 16.04 and had install issues
[23:15] <Fritigern> In that case, I thin you are looking for #ubuntu+1
[23:15] <ubernoob> thank you! is there a kubuntu+1?
[23:16] <Fritigern> Not that I am ware of. Though you can lways create that room yourself
[23:16] <ubernoob> ok thanks so much
[23:53] <bob2021> Hi.  Plasma is not seeing google-chrome or letting me launch it from the launch thingy.  it was installed with apt and i've tried reinstalling.  can someone help?
[23:54] <keithzg> bob2021: Interesting. If you just type in "google-chrome" to KRunner (I think the default is still alt+f2) does it nonetheless run?
[23:54] <keithzg> Alternatively, try that from a terminal session like Konsole.
[23:58] <bob2021> keithzg - from a terminal session yes, that's how i'm in now.  from krunner, no
