[00:15] you have to enable a partner PPA as I recall [00:16] and pay attention to the 32/64 bit issue [00:16] Doesn't work still [00:17] Yes, details in the bug I linked... [00:18] Thanx its been pissing me off [00:28] last bren === zippoman_ is now known as zippoman === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk2 === struk|desk2 is now known as struk|desk|away === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk2 [03:10] In Konsole/Yakuake, if I press Meta + E (or W, or R) I see a list of host names printed "::1 ff00::0 ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ip6-localnet ip6-mcastprefix localhost". I was just wondering what command this might be coming from. I can't find a keyboard shortcut set up for it anywhere. [03:20] hi everyone, I would have question: could you pls guys tell me what's the name of the default app in kubuntu that handles the OSD? Many thanks [03:24] !info knotify [03:24] Package knotify does not exist in wily [03:26] !info kdialog/ [03:26] Package kdialog does not exist in wily === struk|desk2 is now known as struk|desk|away [03:31] I'm using 15.10 (dunno the codename) [03:33] I went through my processes, I can't find kdialog or knotify, but I do have both installed [03:34] basically I'm about to disable it, or customize it if possible cause it occupies the worst possible place on the screen [03:35] (the middle) === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk2 === omer is now known as oijs === oijs is now known as oijsh [05:58] so I was going to finally install kubuntu-15.10 on my macbook pro (currently with 14:10) but the install would not recognize the wireless or USB ethernet [05:58] not a promising sign. I didn't want to end up with a machine that couldn't update after the install [06:00] drleviathan: did you try this in a live media? [06:01] yes, bootable USB drive. [06:01] one thing some folks have done successfully is install a mac ISO, and then install kubuntu-desktop [06:02] you mean... make sure the laptop is dual-booted? or with a clean mac install? === struk|desk2 is now known as struk|desk [06:02] you can always install any desktop you want on top of the Ubuntu base [06:03] xubuntu, lubuntu, unity, gnome, etc. [06:03] yes, I'm downloading ubuntu-15.10 now [06:03] Easier to use mini.iso and install whatever task, though. [06:03] my plan-b is to install ubuntu and then install KDE [06:04] good point... the initial download would be faster [06:04] Unit193: he's doing this on a mac though [06:04] so I was thinking one of the ISOs for mac would be easier [06:04] hardware-wise [06:04] my torrent is 21% complete for ubuntu-15.10. Will take... another 40 min I think [06:05] oh, there are specific ISO's for installing on mac? [06:05] I did not know that. [06:05] * drleviathan goes looking... [06:05] hmmm, lubuntu old [06:05] valorie: Should be intel, so maybe likely just bastardized EFI to work with, no? And there isn't a mini for Mactel? [06:05] boo [06:06] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.3/release/ [06:06] not sure about the mini [06:06] oh right, this is an EFI booting intel laptop. 2013 MBP [06:07] 64bit in UEFI mode doesn't cut it though? Anywho.. [06:07] well, that's the LTS, you could just upgrade next April to the next LTS [06:07] Unit193: dunno [06:07] "[21:58] so I was going to finally install kubuntu-15.10 on my macbook pro (currently with 14:10) but the install would not recognize the wireless or USB ethernet" [06:07] the install would boot up, but would not setup wifi or usb-ethernet adapter [06:08] that is just unusable IMO [06:09] looks like the Mac specific images were from the previous (PPC) era. I remember those days. [06:09] There's also amd64+mac, but we can ignore those. [06:10] I guess I'll proceed with plan-b and report back fromthe other side [06:10] I think I did that once before: installed ubuntu and then upgraded to KDE for window manager [06:10] but I didn't have the cool kubuntu branding :-( [06:11] sad that they aren't still being made [06:11] drleviathan: kubuntu-desktop gets you the branding [06:11] you might have to remove lightdm [06:11] drleviathan: Can install 'kubuntu-desktop^' for the whole Kubuntu desktop. [06:11] orly? good to know. thanks [06:11] and getting rid of all the Unity stuff is a pain [06:11] but I've done it successfully before [06:19] according to the internets the mini-iso install method is not UEFI friendly [06:20] it " lacks the proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode" and will thus boot in BIOS compatibility mode [06:20] there is no plan-c [06:20] Bah, thought that might be the case. === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [08:06] hey [08:08] anyone here [08:10] hey [08:12] acepower1000: that's not how it works [08:12] uh [08:12] !ask [08:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[08:25] I think [08:25] acepower1000_: however, you should go back, and check how much free space there is on the larger ntfs partition [08:25] if you shrink it too much, you run the risk of losing potentially important data [08:26] right [08:26] denza242: how much do i shrink [08:27] acepower1000_: shrink it to used space + 20 gb as a safety buffer [08:27] wait [08:27] so do I have to go back to windows 10 to check that? [08:28] nah [08:28] denza242: where then [08:29] acepower1000_: open up dolphin, doubleclick on the larger ntfs partition, and in the bottom right, there should be an (X GiB Free) indicator [08:29] with X being how many gigs are free [08:30] multiply the value of X by 1024, and add 20480 to that value [08:31] http://imgur.com/SxPtVZy uhhh [08:32] oh dear [08:32] acepower1000_: you'll have to boot back into windows and perform a shutdown [08:33] wait are the partitions made allready or is it geting ready to make them [08:34] the windows partitions are already there [08:34] no i mean the linux partitions [08:35] getting ready to make them [08:35] no actual operations have been performed yet [08:35] oh [08:36] Ok going to reboot into windows [08:45] there is 674 gb free space on my main windows partition and 91.80 gb free space how much do i shrink [08:46] oh Its 8:45 AM ill do this tomorrow === Metacity|uh-oh is now known as Metacity [09:21] need help [09:21] samk: with what [09:21] samk: Ask and wait for someone to answer [09:23] bluetooth not working in kubuntu (New to linux distros) [09:26] samk: fire up a terminal and type "dmesg | grep -i bluetooth" and pastebin the output [09:27] ok will do now [09:28] [ 13.864059] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.20 [ 13.864086] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 13.864093] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 13.864098] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 13.864115] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 13.884446] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: chip id 70 [ 13.884451] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM (001.001.011) build 0000 [ 13.954504] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware loa [09:28] rror -2 [ 13.954508] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM.hcd not found [ 17.676554] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 17.676557] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 17.676561] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized [ 39.057829] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 39.057836] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 39.057840] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11 [09:28] please use pastebin.com instead [09:29] ok sorry new to these stuff [09:29] No worries.

We highly reccomend installing KDE neon over Kubuntu. " [15:05] "If you have an existing Ubuntu 15.10 operating system or flavour, you can install KDE neon and keep your existing system." === kubuntu is now known as Guest50984 [15:07] plasma seems to be for wily on that, with a version 5.5.2+git20160107 [15:11] Hmm.. I have a fever and can't think properly right now. But is KDE Neon like Kubuntu with Riddle as maintainer? [15:13] It will be based on Kubuntu/Ubuntu but the main goal [15:13] is to provide always latest KDE Apps, Plasma [15:14] soee_: Seems promising :) [15:14] so for example, when Kubuntu has feature freeze we can't add newer Plasma etc. or sometime if we work on next Kubuntu version, there is no time to backport Plasma [15:14] presumably to be a quasi stable rolling option. [15:14] so Neon will be based on LTS Ubuntu always latest KDE stuff [15:14] but not as frequently broken as things like kubuntu-CI can be [15:15] so community released Plasma 5.6 and Neon gets it right away [15:15] and yes Jonathan it the head of this project [15:15] sounds nice in theory, but these things always do [15:16] but it is not liek he working alone on it :) there is whole team as as he is Plasma release manager so it is much easier to work on it [15:16] shall test and see where it goes once they get some xenial packages done [15:18] And this will benefit for the kubuntu packagers too i guess?

I can't seem to change it to true firefox icon [18:49] why not directly kubuntu [18:50] I tried to install via kubuntu on USB, but it would not detect network. neither wireless or the USB ethernet adapter [18:50] this is on a 2013 MacBookPro [18:51] somehow it let me enter a bad password and when I was done I couldn't actually login with the default user [18:51] did you try to reinstall ff [18:52] so I booted up on a kubuntu DVD using an external drive [18:52] and that time it was able to detect the network... dunno why [18:52] strange [18:53] drleviathan, to get the correct icons remove ubuntu-desktop, some unity icons may still be default [18:53] in any case, I fixed my password problem by setting the password of the running kubuntu user and then copying the line in shadow and shadow- into the files on the hard drive [18:53] ah ok, I'll try that BluesKaj [18:54] * drleviathan reboots... [19:05] well, that appears to have worked BluesKaj, for the firefox icon in the menu [19:06] I still can't get the xchat icon to work yet [19:14] drleviathan, xchat is no longer supported , try hexchat or konversation, or even quassel [19:18] huh... I'm using xchat now. [19:18] or should I say xchat development is discontinued [19:18] indeed [19:18] I was able to solve my xchat icon problem by putting icons of the appropriate size in /usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/ ... etc [19:19] ok I'll keep that in mind. I might try some of the others soon to see if I like them [19:19] yeah it's still available but no longer being updated or upgraded [19:20] I'm having a hard setting up my second KDE panel... the settings menus keep disappearing out from under my mouse. [19:21] I succeeded once, but then had an invisile app icon that I couldn't remove, so I deleted the whole panel and started anew. [19:22] dunno , I just use one, but my TV is my monitor, so no need for multiples [19:22] i use a small auto-hidden panel in one corner for quick launches === king is now known as Guest99148 [19:24] there is a quick launch in the panel beside the kmenu if you drag icons from the menu into it [19:25] yeah, I use that one too [19:26] there is a quicklaunch in the widgets, but not sure if you have it available , since I'm on 16.04 [19:44] heh, this is so frustrating it's funny [19:44] maybe there is a text file I can edit to change the KDE panel configs [20:00] hah! I figured it out. I had set my mouse focus to be strictly under the mouse: settings --> Window Behavior --> Activating Windows Policy [20:00] when I moved it back to "click to focus" I could actually edit the panel config settings again [20:06] drleviathan, the 3 dashes stack on the far right of the panel also opens add widgets besides the right click menu context on the desktop [20:06] err context menu [20:07] yup, and it goes away when I lock widgets down [20:07] I think maybe I've got things how I want them. [20:08] hola [20:08] oh right... windows are snaping to the edge screen... right up to the internal window edge and I'd like them to snap to the outside border edge [20:08] anyone know how to configure things to do that?

[20:21] * drleviathan googles cairo-dock [20:22] bob2021, I use a second KDE panel with auto-hide enabled instead of a "cairo-dock". [20:22] in this version kubuntu 15.10 conky appears as a window on the desktop and panel, eventhough it off the edges of the window is still on the panel as an application, is a little upset, version 14.04 LTS had no problems with Conky, not to mention who took options in customizing the desktop, and I appear sometimes failures video [20:22] drleviathan: yeah but i'm new to ubuntu and kubuntu so i'm trying stuff out and the cairo dock seems really coo. [20:23] its just popping up sub-docks on the wrong monitor... [20:23] huh... it does. maybe I'll try it out. [20:23] * drleviathan googles conky... [20:23] drleviathan: no i mean like *really* cool [20:24] almost as cool as the MacOSX dock? [20:24] drleviathan: cooler. [20:25] * drleviathan installs conky and cairo-dock just to try them out... [20:26] bob2021: plank dock is a bit simpler and more actively developed [20:27] https://mega.nz/#!DkRVAJAJ [20:27] please can see my screen, this is the problem that I have with conky [20:27] and look in google and nothing comes out [20:28] kame: conky misbehaves a bit with plasma 5 in some cases [20:29] kame: try http://imgur.com/ for your screenshot [20:31] kame: try using conky-colors, it works well for me [20:31] ok i try [20:31] yhanks [20:33] kame: conky may need 'own_window_type' set to 'normal' for plasma5 [20:33] I use "conky --help" to look at options. You can supply a -x and -y argument to move the window exactly where you want it. [20:33] http://imgur.com/qmel7bW [20:34] with: own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,sticky,skip_pager' [20:35] my problem is not to move the window, the problem is that conky appears as a window and not stick to the desktop [20:35] the default examples that come with conky manager may also not be suitable for for plasma5, as they are quite old [20:35] oh... works for me (sticks to desktop) [20:35] kame - use conky colors. your issue isn't a kde issue. its an issue with how to configure conky.l [20:35] kame, did you do "apt-get upgrade" after you installed kubuntu 15.10? [20:36] yep. conky config needs tweaking to cope with plasma5 [20:37] ok [20:38] I see so far no solution, unfortunately migrare debian gnome, depend much Conky [20:38] thanks [20:38] even when you get it working not in a separate window, there are still a few bugs you might get [20:38] clicking on desktop can make it vanish sometimes [20:38] https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/145 [20:39] ^^^ work reading, as it at least tells you how to fix existing conkyrc files [20:39] friends one more question, I have a 2.5GHz i5 processor, but sometimes this rises above 3.0 GHz, is normal? [20:41] let's try this then: kmail is declining to show icloud, even though it seems to connect. can someone help? [20:41] acher88 I'll try that option [20:41] bob2021 dude, cairo-dock is pretty cool [20:41] drleviathan: told ya === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [20:43] drleviathan do you know where kmail stores its stupid settings [20:44] goddammit why is it so hard to find a viable email client [20:44] this should be a solved f'ing problem [20:44] * BluesKaj just checks ksysguard once in a while [20:44] I don't use kmail, but probably in ~/.kde/share/... [20:45] yeah there's a kmailrc but it doesn't have anything interesting in it [20:45] don't use kmail either [20:45] what do you use? [20:45] bob2021, thunderbird doesn't work for you? [20:46] * drleviathan uses the browser for webmail [20:46] is uses akonadi for storage, but presumably not account settings? [20:46] drleviathan it looks like its pretty ancient, so i didn't want to === chudgins is now known as weblover [20:47] thunderbird works well for a friend of mine, but I haven't used it in... about five or six years [20:48] fuck plasma 5 [20:49] I use t-bird because contains a small database for storing web/email on disk, came in handy when I had to find the instructions to reset the modem bridging after an ISP adsl problem [20:50] !langauge |kame [20:50] kame: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:51] bob2021, I suggest you try t-bird before discarding it altogether. [20:51] * drleviathan tries to figure out how to configure cairo-dock [20:52] drleviathan i'd really like to get kmail working so i could use the whole k- package of connected apps [20:52] holy smokes, I found the cairo-dock settings window! [20:52] drleviathan: right???? [20:53] drleviathan: click advanced mode ;) [20:54] so... many... options [20:55] so where do i go to get help with kmail? [20:55] * drleviathan deletes the second plasma panel he just setup this morning and replaces it with cairo-dock. [20:58] bob2021, what is your exact problem with kmail (I'm curious). [20:59] drleviathan: icloud doesn't show up in the list of folders. The account seems to be setup properly and connecting. I see status and progress. But I can't actually see what's in any folders, because they don't appear in the list of accounts and folders. [20:59] bob2021, #kde perhaps [21:00] thanks let me try... i'll still be here... [21:03] I've got a question: windows are snapping internal border edge to screen edge and I want them to snap to outer border edge. [21:03] anyone know how to do that? [21:04] !list [21:04] gippo: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:09] another question: I would like to have a _shutdown_ widget on a panel, but all I can find is a _logout_ widget. [21:09] is there a way to make an easy shutdown button? [21:09] hrm... come to think of it, I almost never acually shutdown (uptime is usually two weeks). I guess I can live without. [21:11] Hi all I am trying to install Netrunner 17 but have two problems. one the disk check comes up with a error in one file. unable to fix. Second Screen resolution is worng and normal slider is not there is system settings display. Can anyone help? [21:27] I'm happy to report: after upgradging to Kubuntu 15.10 my environment is back to an acceptable state. [21:27] :) [21:31] drleviathan: good to hear! [21:31] and are you sure you don't have shutdown? [21:31] yes, but I've decided it is ok [21:31] valorie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14774688/ [21:32] alternative: use krunner, alt+space and type shutdown [21:32] valorie: should be the relevant part ... if you wish, i could paste everything [21:32] valorie: this was printed when pressing the play button [21:32] nothing unusual there [21:33] can you play other sound? [21:33] thanks for that tip. I'm not really a krunner user but I will try to remember that option. [21:33] valorie: absolutely nothing [21:35] so it's not an amarok problem, but a sound problem [21:35] a few people have had to restart pulseaudio [21:35] !pulseaudio [21:35] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:35] and others have had to put their user account in the audio group [21:46] kuser: I am one of the people who had to add themselves to the audio group. and then restart a few times. Also had to add myself to the video and pulse groups. [21:46] then eventually it started to work [21:47] drleviathan: if, while playing with cairo settings, you come across a way to say what monitor sub-docks open-up on, pls let me know. [22:23] what do people use on linux instead of logmein? [22:39] bob2021: I have used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo to access an MS-Windows desktop from Linux. Real sysadmins just use ssh ;-) [22:40] mparillo: I'm not a real sysadmin. Sometimes, when I'm having coffee at starbucks, or at a client, I'll have some kind of realization about the processes I've left running on my machine. And I like to go in through my ipad and change things. I use a GUI for this at the moment with logmein on os x. I want to do the same thing with ubuntu. [22:43] Neither am I. I used Citrix. Not free, but supported on my MS-Windows desktop. === zippoman_ is now known as zippoman
