[00:25] <kame> hello, I tell them I'm surprising with the number of failures that brings the new plasma 5, now there is a widget indicating weather, for some reason my 2.5GHz processor, 2.9GHz exceeds Kubuntu 15.10, someone knows something in this regard, I am seriously considering switching to Debian and unfortunately gnome
[00:26] <valorie> that isn't really a bug report, kame
[00:26]  * valorie is running plasma 5.5.3 without problems
[00:26] <valorie> in fact, loving it
[00:26] <valorie> can you say what problems specifically you are experiencing?
[00:29] <kame> if, as the subject processor says, Conky can not be configured, removed many options for customizing the desktop and many widgets, etc ... it's a hassle to deal with so many problems on an OS, this is more constructive complaint that is that there is no solution
[00:31] <valorie> hmmm, someone was just discussing conky above, which by the way is not kubuntu software....
[00:31] <valorie> https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/145
[00:32] <valorie> explains how to fix conkyrc files
[00:32] <kame> I was, above 14.04 LTS is perfectly used in the version
[00:32] <valorie> well, this is about tools,, not religion
[00:32] <valorie> if debian suits you better, gnome suits you better, that's fine
[00:33] <valorie> we can still be friends
[00:33] <valorie> my husband uses Windows
[00:33] <valorie> :-)
[00:33] <valorie> can you tell me what weather widget you're using?
[00:33] <valorie> that is one bit I do miss
[00:34] <kame> I only raise that Kubuntu 15.10 has many flaws
[00:34] <valorie> and we welcome bug reports about each specific flaw
[00:35] <valorie> and of course, patches
[00:35] <valorie> this is a community built distro
[00:37] <kame> so I try to contribute, but the bugs are solved in other distros so I am forced to migrate, now as you can report these problems to the developers?
[00:38] <valorie> no, because I'm not experiencing the problems
[00:38] <valorie> this is why we want bugs filed
[00:39] <valorie> I advise using the commandline: ubuntu-bug packagename
[00:39] <valorie> as the easiest way to do that
[00:39] <valorie> I file bug reports as I find bugs, of course
[00:39] <kame> you are a developer?
[00:40] <valorie> not a coder, no
[00:40] <valorie> I write, test, and do various other things for Kubuntu, including serving on the council
[00:41] <valorie> lots of ways to help out
[00:43] <soul_> I could talk about kipi-plugins. When I take a screenshot and try to upload it to imgur, the application explodes
[00:44] <valorie> soul_: that bug report should be filed at bugs.kde.org
[00:44] <valorie> and I think it already has been, so your input on that bug report would be valuable
[00:47] <kame> ok thank i do
[00:49] <kame> ideally distros evolve each year, and not the opposite as is the case with gnome
[00:50] <valorie> software evolves, and distros package it, test it, release it
[00:51] <valorie> and in our case, we work with all our upstreams to improve the software we get, as well
[00:52] <kame> is really frustrating to see is reduced and the amount of widgets that had avanico plasma and kde before the latest changes
[00:52] <valorie> kame: help porting widgets is always welcome
[00:53] <kame> I'm a basic user so I need something simple to use
[00:54] <kame> I can only contribute with ideas, I'm not a programmer or advanced
[00:54] <kame> thanks
[00:54] <valorie> as I said, there is a lot besides coding that's needed
[00:55] <valorie> testing and filing bug reports are two of them
[00:55] <kame> si lo ise! reporte los informes
[02:44] <hack_> whats up
[02:45] <hack_> why should I use kubuntu instead of ubuntu
[02:47] <ikonia> up to you
[02:47] <ikonia> try them - see what you like
[02:54] <mparillo> hack_: If you come from Windows, the 'start' menu at the bottom and the window controls at the top right will feel familiar
[02:56] <mparillo> on Kubuntu. Ubuntu will take some adjustment. And if you like further customization, you will find KDE SW generally offers more options.
[02:59] <mparillo> I think Dolphin is a more capable file manager than Nautilus, Kate a better text editor than Gedit.
[03:01] <mparillo> And if you care to progress into a contributor (and there are many ways to contribute), the Kubuntu community is more involved in the larger Free and Open Source Ecosystem than Ubuntu.
[03:01] <mparillo> End of sales pitch for me, but as ikonia writes, if the software does not fit your use cases, then the rest does not matter.
[03:26] <hack_> thanks guys
[03:26] <hack_> i decide to install Windows 10 finally
[03:26] <hack_> i can't put it on USB
[03:26] <hack_> its driving me crazy
[03:39] <Nubia> buenas
[03:39] <Nubia> alguien que hable español ?
[04:30] <dick_> need network help update killed my network
[05:17] <bob2021> hey.  kubuntu is very unreliable about finding icons for apps and putting them in the launcher.  how can i fix this?
[05:29] <bob2021> ?
[05:29] <bob2021> :)
[05:29] <bob2021> anyone home?
[06:04] <Fritigern> bob2021: Sounds to me like you have installed appmenu-qt5. Uninstall that and replace with appmenu-qt and you should be fine
[06:05] <bob2021> fritigern: how do i do that?
[06:05] <Fritigern> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge appmenu-qt5 && sudo apt-get install appmenu-qt
[06:05] <bob2021> it looks like they're both installed
[06:06] <bob2021> right now they're both installed; so i just uninstall the one?
[06:06] <Fritigern> Yes, just the one
[06:06] <Fritigern> so : "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge appmenu-qt5"
[06:06] <bob2021> and then do i need to do anything to tell it to adjust itself?
[06:06] <bob2021> i already removed
[06:06] <Fritigern> Just reboot to make sure everything works and you're set
[06:09] <bob2021> any way without rebooting?
[07:55] <ejay> Any idea why after last backports update (5.5.3) notifications are not working and how to fix that?
[07:56] <solvarr> is project neon the same with kubuntu?
[09:31] <valorie> solvarr: neon is different, however it is based on kubuntu
[09:32] <valorie> ejay: what sort of notifications?
[09:40] <ejay> valorie: those popup messages that comes from above systray. I have bash scripts with kdialog --passivepopup. Those popups are now absent (they did work). No errors in console while kdialog code should show popup.
[09:42] <valorie> hmmm
[09:43] <valorie> I would ask in #plasma
[09:43] <valorie> first I've heard about this one
[10:10] <solvarr> how is neon different then?
[10:10] <solvarr> is it more progressive than kubuntu?
[12:31] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:45] <omkar_> hi guys what is the minimum requirement for kubuntu 15.10
[14:45] <omkar_> hardware requirement for the os
[14:45] <omkar_> I have 4Gb machine running Intel corei5 processor with Gigabyte motherboard and storage of 500GB
[14:48] <BluesKaj> omkar_, those specs are fine
[14:48] <BluesKaj> !specs
[14:48] <BluesKaj> omkar_,^
[15:46] <moose> VLC doesn't correctly show H.264 video after update of Kubuntu 15.10 using latest Plasma and Frameworks updates from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[15:47] <acher88> does not show ion what sense?
[15:47] <BluesKaj> moose, describe your issue with h264
[15:49] <moose> Video footage is H.264 1080p 25fps. VLC shows only the top-left part of the image, both in window mode and full-screen mode. If I resize the VLC window to be very small, then the full video image appears.
[15:50] <moose> 1:1 display doesn't work: shows only part of video image; display is 2560x1440
[15:50] <BluesKaj> moose, with all H.264 videos?
[15:50] <Minetrees> hello forks
[15:51] <Minetrees> can i ask something?
[15:51] <moose> Yes. BTW I'm working a lot with H.264 footage, editing and creating it all the time.
[15:51] <BluesKaj> which vlc versio?
[15:51] <dan> moose: i've had problems with vlc videos being the wrong size after recent upgrade. a workaround i've found is to right click and go tot he "video" section, then choose one of the options such as "always on top" you can remove the option after that
[15:51] <BluesKaj> version
[15:52] <dan> it seems to trigger the video resizing
[15:53] <Minetrees> I'm trying to install kubuntu 15.10 on my KVM guest, I want to manually set up the partition because my swap size is too big
[15:54] <dan> moose: i've also found changing the default vlc skin to something else can help as well
[15:54] <moose> dan: fullscreen helps, but deselecting it later causes the bug to reappear despite exiting vlc inbetween.
[15:54] <dan> try resizing the window. then selecting "always on top" for video then unselecting it
[15:54] <dan> that would make things the right size for me
[15:55] <moose> BluesKaj: vlc is 2.2.1-3 according to aptitude
[15:55] <dan> it's a workaround, but it's made vlc at least usable for me
[15:55] <acher88> Moose: It's a known bug it QT
[15:56] <acher88> if it is this? https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48321
[15:58] <moose> acher88: than I'm glad it doesn't get triggered in Kdenlive ... at least for what I checked. I'm a heavy user of Kdenlive and we already had some Qt fun back during applications 15.04
[15:58] <BluesKaj> well, I'm running 16.04 witht the new linux 4.4 kernel and i have no problems with vlc version 2.2.1-5 which is the nwewest i guess.
[15:59] <BluesKaj> newest even
[16:01] <moose> BluesKaj: vlc gives me constant trouble as it forgets all the time that I preselected to use my USB mix as audio playback device because I need to work with studio headphones for quality control.
[16:01] <acher88> BluesKaj: the same on my laptop. have tried to replicate that qt bug on xenial but can't
[16:01] <acher88> I use smplayer for most video though with latest mpv
[16:04] <Ericc> Hi
[16:06] <moose> acher88: thank you for pointing out smplayer; I've just installed it and it works fine on my footage. It seems to be decent for controlling my final rendered footage. Thanks!
[16:07] <moose> acher88: and it correctly uses my behringer usb mixer for playback as set in control center.
[16:08] <acher88> VLC is great, but not as great as it used to be IMO
[16:08] <acher88> glad you now have something that works
[16:10] <moose> acher88: a player that explicitly supports IPv6 will *always* get my full love... ;)
[16:15] <moose> another issue I saw is with the panel background using the "Breeze Dark Panel Background": it causes redraw bugs in the application boxs when hovering or selecting an application in the task panel. Breeze Panel Background works though.
[16:33] <kuja> hi
[16:38] <kuja> what's up?
[17:24] <kuja>  salut
[21:15] <tvin> I know this is small potatoes, but how do I make a live install usb from ubuntu? My searches only come up for instructions through windows

[23:45] <philoniare> hi guys, just installed kubuntu. Enjoying the experience so far!
[23:45] <philoniare> does anyone know a way to easily create a custom keyboard layout?
[23:47] <darksim> Hello! Im trying to install Kubuntu instead of my Linux Mint installation
[23:48] <darksim> I have a special setup of drives and partitions Id like to not destroy
[23:48] <darksim> Only / is the one I'll format, but on my HDD which was mounted to /media before is not able to be mounted there during installation
[23:49] <darksim> "You've assigned a seperate file system to /media, but in order for the system to start correctly this directory must be on the root file system. Please correct this from the partition menu."
[23:51] <bprompt> darksim:   so... what's the issue again?
[23:51] <bprompt> from what I've read, you want to format /, but not devices mounted on /media.... well, easy, unmount them :)
[23:52] <darksim> Everything that's affected by the installation is unmounted already
[23:52] <bprompt> so, you're kosher then?
[23:52] <darksim> Should be but the manual disk setup during installation throws this error at me anyways
[23:53] <darksim> Hence me asking for help
[23:54] <bprompt> hmmm
[23:55] <darksim> sda1 as ext4 /media - sda2 as swap - sdc1 as efi - sdc2 as ext / - sdc3 as ext4 /home
[23:55] <bprompt> dunno myself what " "You've assigned a seperate file system to /media, "  means.... how did you assign it to another filesystem? =)
[23:55] <darksim> and Bootloader installation on sdc
[23:56] <darksim> I use ext4 on my current installation so I haven't changed any file system
[23:56] <darksim> and I can clearly do it the way I've done it before so I dont get why Kubuntu installer is throwing a fit for this
[23:57] <bprompt> well
[23:58] <bprompt> darksim:     seems that, it's asking on to get rid of sda1 as /media and simply to use sdc2 for it, in root /
[23:59] <darksim> Yeah, it seems like it but I don't want to :/
[23:59] <bprompt> hmm why not? :)
[23:59] <darksim> Because I already have it set up and I like having a nice place to store bulk data
