[00:59] hello [01:00] In older versions of ubuntu an mail icon used to be on the top right of the screen, allowing the user to manage conversations apks [01:01] whenever someone said your name in IRC the icon would turn green, but this doesn't exist anymore [01:01] how can I know when someone called me on IRC?

[10:22] It has already worked for Windows. Unfortunately, I have to work in Windows [10:22] bye for now. [11:52] Hi all, quick question. Can I still upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 via the command line? 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' returns "No new release found" [11:54] !eolupgrade [11:54] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:54] Steve_: It is probably easier to wait for the release of 16.04 or reinstall to 15.10 directly. [11:55] I want to keep the settings, but I'm hoping to go all the way up to 16.04 beta [12:26] Hmm, upgrading from 14.04 will only be possible when 16.04.1 is released... [12:34] lordievader: seems very reasonable [12:34] from memory the same happened with 14.04 and maybe even 12.04 [12:34] pretty such it wasn't in place for 10.04 [12:35] ikonia: Yes, the reasoning was based on the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. [13:13] hi everybody! I am having problems in mounting the windows partitions at boot .... [13:14] Do you get errors? [13:17] You could have a look at /etc/fstab, and verify (1) directories are exist (2) UUID of devices are not changed [13:41] No entry in the fstab .... I wonder why the installation did not ppick it up, and why there is no GUI to manage the automount? [13:41] or the fstab .... === r is now known as Guest88674 === Guest88674 is now known as rapte [14:36] is there a workaround to stop crashing plasma after drag&drop icons? [14:37] kubuntu 15.10 [14:37] Hiyas all [14:38] Hi BluesKaj [14:39] oi: Do you have backports ppa or the project Neon PPA enabled? [14:39] hi DarinMiller [14:40] DarinMiller: no, just fresh installed [14:42] Are you familiar with ppa installations? I recommend the Neon PPA as it move 15.10 to the latest QT packages and improves 15.10 stability. [14:42] ok [14:42] is it normal that xorg is taking up 1.3GB of ram? [14:42] !Neon [14:42] Project Neon provides set of daily builds of KDE and releated modules | See https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/ProjectNeon | More support in #project-neon [14:43] Neon launchpad PPA website: https://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [14:44] DarinMiller: how unstabe is it? [14:45] would neon ppa be too much for a daily use desktop? [14:45] In my experience, it fixes several issues in 15.10 including frequent plasmashell crashes. Not quite as stabe as KDE 4, but much better than stock 15.10. [14:46] DarinMiller: I'm with backports ppa and sometimes I still get a segmentation fault crash of plasmashell btw [14:46] and every time I'm unable to rebort it also.. debug symbols package are needed but when I go to install them using the crash report windows it says that no packages can be found. [14:46] D: [14:48] if anyone knows what does it mean, showing detailed memory information of xorg with ksysguard i see that most of the ram is taken by 1337912 KB [heap] [14:48] Backports is not current and the Neon packages improve plasma stability. [14:49] DarinMiller: its not far off curent ! [14:49] it provides plasma 5.5.3 [14:49] not that bheind I guess [14:49] and 5.5.4 is in landing [14:50] One issue I experience is kwallet hangs on reboot causing every dependent pack- including networkmanager and chrome-to hang for ~30s. [14:51] meanwhile i'll try rebooting to see if xorgs cleans up a bit [14:51] killing kwattet fixes the hang and everything is back to normal. [14:54] ^killing kwallet [14:56] DarinMiller: hmmm, apt-get update get this: http://ppa.launchpad.net/neon/ppa/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [14:58] DarinMiller: the ppa is old, last thing they admit is raring [14:58] oi: Did you add this repository? sudo apt-add-repository ppa:neon/ppa [14:59] DarinMiller: yes, I did. [14:59] there is no Storage Device Manager in kubuntu? [15:01] oi: my bad! [15:01] Follow these directions here: http://neon.kde.org.uk/download [15:02] DarinMiller: last updates in ppa are 49 weeks ago [15:02] ok [15:03] seeos, system settings >removable devices [15:04] eeos,^ [15:05] BluesKaj: there is no such a thing in system settings [15:06] eeos,which kubuntu? [15:08] BluesKaj: 15.10 64bit [15:10] eeos: Removable devices arrived with either Backports ppa or KDE Neon (not sure which) [15:13] BluesKaj: sorry, had to reboot [15:13] I'm running 16.10, but that's surprising that there's no removable ndevices as default in 15.10 [15:14] BluesKaj: so no removable devics in system settings in 15.10 64bit [15:14] eeos, not sure [15:14] BluesKaj: 16.10? Surely you mean 16.04 ;) [15:15] i'm always running a ppa or 2 [15:15] yeah , 16.04 ,...typos [15:16] On my 16.04 box, I do not have the landing ppa enabled and the Removeable Devices option is missing (still Plasma 5.4.3). My 15.10 boxes all have backports and Neon and Removable Devies shows up in the hw section. [15:17] DarinMiller, i have the landing ppa [15:17] reboot [15:18] BlueKaj: I assume 16.04 landing has Plasma 5.5.3? [15:18] DarinMiller: 5.5.4 [15:18] cool [15:18] and its in backports landing too [15:19] ah yes. [15:20] DarinMiller,yes [15:20] and 5.5.4 [15:25] BluesKaj: me neither .... a bit chuffed by this new version, I have come backk to kubuntu after around a year [15:25] so how do I solve this removabel device issue? [15:26] eeos, external drive or extra hdds/ssds? [15:27] windows partition that does not mount at boot [15:27] eeos, is it listed in grub? [15:28] yes, I can boot from it [15:31] ok , sudo blikd , find the entry for the windows partition, copy the uuid and addit to fstab without the quotes like so : http://ubuntuhak.blogspot.ca/2013/07/how-to-mount-windows-partition-in.html [15:32] BluesKaj: aologies, I know how to add it manually, I am trying to find a GUI, this is for my wife [15:34] eeeos it should show up in dolphin places>devices once you add it and reboot [15:34] add it to fstab that is [15:35] eeos,^ [15:36] BluesKaj: I would like to enable her to do what she would prefer, but without a GUI it is a bit of a problem [15:36] dolphin is the gui [15:36] BluesKaj: a gui that does not allow you to decide what to mount at boot [15:37] it similar to the folder in the windows taskbar , just put dolphin in a quicklaunch in the panel [15:37] eeos: is adding a ppa an acceptable solution? [15:38] Dragnslcr: yes [15:38] sorry Dragnslcr .... was meant for DarinMiller [15:38] I've been called worse :) [15:39] DarinMiller: ;) [15:39] Nah, it doesn't get any worse [15:39] I am checking if Removeable Devices in in the backports ppa or KDE Neon. [15:40] Dolphin will definitely show removable devices and any mounted hard drive partitions [15:40] DarinMiller: thank you, I can do it .... Neon does not support 15.10 though [15:40] I'm not certain if it will show regular hard drive partitions that aren't mounted [15:42] You should be able to use Partition Manager to set the mount points of partitions [15:42] apologies need to reboot brn .... Dragnslcr yes, but not whether it is mounted at boot or not [15:43] I don't have any unused partitions to test it with at the moment [15:57] I've logged but mouse does not work, what is the keyboard shortcut for K menu? [15:57] found, alt+f1 [15:57] eeos, just confirmed, Removeable devices arrives with the backports PPA on 15.10. Assuming windows not corrupt it by leaving it in a dirty state, the automounter should work as expected. [15:59] DarinMiller, he hasn't relogged in [15:59] BluesKaj: good catch. [16:00] DarinMiller, wonder if his issue has more to do with UEFI boot than removable devices [16:01] says he can boot windows grub, so why the issue [16:01] from grub [16:36] Now I have instructed this side Kubuntu to _not_ powerdown if not fondled constantly [17:05] Hello all. My plasma crashed. When I went to file the but , I got this after trying to install the debug symbols: Could not find debug symbol packages for this application. [17:05] Any ideas on where to start? I found some stuff on it online, but there was no resolution given. [17:08] I did a search on synaptics for "plasma-workspace-dbgsym" and nothing was found [17:17] why_not: what version of kubuntu? [17:18] 15.10 with kde-neon [17:19] plasma 5.5.90 [17:20] ps- I'm also on #plasma getting some help [17:20] ok [17:26] hello is there a way to make the desktop slide show faster? [17:26] it wont allow me to use less than 10 seconds [17:27] I am talking about wallpapers === tom_ is now known as Guest82995 [18:28] Will "Kubuntu 16.04 L.T.S. 64Bit" be good? Or Plasma 5 is still not good? [18:33] JeZxLee, that's a matter of opiinion and what circumstances you will be using 16.04, home or work? [18:34] I installed kde-neon and I'm geting frequent plasma crashes [18:34] BluesKaj - well I do job work at home using Linux, but run Windows 10 Pro 64Bit at the office [18:34] web dev stuff [18:35] currently running Linux Mint 17.3 K.D.E. 64Bit at home === thomas_ is now known as Guest61108 [18:36] Linux Mint is based on old 14.04 Ubuntu [18:36] new Linux Mint 18 is scheduled for later this year after 16.04 release of Ubuntu [18:37] guess I just wonder if Plasma 5 will be working better in 16.04 [18:37] To me 16.04 with Plasma 5 is stable enough, but as BluesKaj said, my requirements might be different. [18:37] tried Plasma 5 in Kubuntu 15.10 and it was not good [18:37] Plasma > 5.4 carries a lot of fixes. [18:42] KDE is my favorite - hope I can use it well in 16.04 [18:42] JeZxLee, I'm running 16.04 with plasma 5.5.4 which requires the Landing ppa, and so far so good stabilty-wise. [18:46] hola === kubuntu is now known as Guest63508 [18:47] hola [18:54] ok, enough of my Plasma 5 rant [18:55] have a technicial question with Kubuntu 14.04.3 64Bit [18:56] running Kubuntu 14.04.3 64Bit guest in VMWare WorkStation Player 12 under Microsoft Window 10 Pro 64Bit - will OpenGL hardware acceleration work in Kubuntu guest? [18:57] Probably not, 3d acceleration is allways tricky under virtual machines. [18:57] have an nViidia GeForce GT 240 1GB PCIexpress graphic card with current nVidia proprietary Windows display driver installed [18:57] what about VirtualBox? [18:58] Your best bet is probably qemu's new virgl driver. Otherwise if you have two video cards you could pass one trough to the guest. === pops is now known as Guest17446 [19:19] why_not: are you able to repeatably crash plasma crashes with certain actions? [19:26] not reliably [19:27] for a while, I would open the comic widget, and then configure. that would be a 3-5 min wait until it crashed. then it wasopening discover. this time, it was while playing terraria [19:27] this all started after installing kde-neon [19:32] also, I have done nothing that I can tell corrected those issues. they just stopped happening. it's like the problem moves around [19:34] I have seen similar behavior. Although I was trying backports landing followed by kde neon. By the time I installed neon, everything had settled down so I assumed it was the neon packages. [19:35] I assumed the neon packages had fixed the instabliity. [19:38] yeah. I just tried to open the comic strip widget "configre setttings > get new comics" and that took ~2:30 mins to load. Before, it was ~5 seconds. I'm just expecting it. Any chance 16.04 will fix this? I might just bite the bullet and do a re-installation, but that would be a pain in the rear [19:39] Does anything else take a long time to open? i.e chrome or kdewallte? [19:40] kwallet^ [19:40] try running kwalletmanager5 from the command line.... [19:40] it should open immediately [19:43] 21 secs "Invalid DBus reply: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.") [19:44] if any of the above is true, kill kwallet and everything should be back to normal. I don't think comic strip depend on kwallet though. [19:44] chromium took 40 secs [19:45] Evreytime I reboot, i must kill kwallet. [19:45] I couldn't kill kwallet cause it stopped responding....then it just killed itself...and the keyboard was not responsive for about 20 secs [19:48] I just "end process" on kwallet5 and kwallet. they went into zombie. then chromium opened quickly, and then KDE Wallet started asking me for my password. we're getting somewhere! [19:49] every time I open chromium, it opens the KDE Wallet password prompt. [19:49] everything should work normal until reboot. I rarely reboot so I forgot about that issue.... [19:50] "The application 'Chromium' has requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet'. Please enter the password for this wallet below." [19:50] that normal [19:50] I've never used kdewallet, unless it's something that works with Thunderbird. so I don't know what's going on with that. [19:51] can I uninstall kde wallet? [19:53] you can disable kwallet in system settings if you don't want to use it (under Account Details) [19:54] Uncheck the Enable the KDE wallet subsystem. I have never tried uninstalling it. [19:54] got it. no more problem with chromium. I'm going to rebot and see what happens [19:54] I'm almost excited. [19:54] cool. let me know what happens. [19:54] will do [20:48] hello people! I'm using Kubuntu 15.10 and cannot bring to run either ps3mediaserver nor mediatomb. They used to run very good with 13.04, though. Any idea what could be the problem? [20:48] (I know most of time the problem sits right in front of the screen) [20:50] marcellus: What does the konsole spit out when you start it from there? [20:53] well, ps3mediaserver does not even connect to the ps3. mediatomb does connect, but I cannot either remove what I already added, nor add new media files [20:54] psems shows a red circle with an X inside [21:15] I don't know both programs, but they do not display any hint of an error in the Konsole? [21:19] pms does not show in the console. mediatomb it shows but not possible to change the shared media [21:21] That is not what I am asking. I suppose both programs have gui's(?), what happens when you try to change the shared media, does the konsole show permission errors or something? [21:36] I just found anther player named 'universal media server' and it works like a charm! thanks for your time [21:54] is anyone else having issues playing videos on youtube? [21:56] chrome, ff, opera, or ? [22:00] dougl: still there? [22:00] dougl: now and then the site has been down for me, that has happened in the last week or so only, but that's about it [22:00] heheh [22:02] lol [22:03] DarinMiller, yes just alot of monitors ff chrome [22:03] both [22:03] currently chrome is playing fine for me, checking ff... [22:04] and verified with windows machine [22:04] works here on windows - which kinda makes me wanna puke [22:04] all videos, or just specific ones? [22:05] ff is working fine here too... [22:05] dougl: for all we know.. is your router or networking, or who knows, but not the site [22:07] bprompt, thanks... but do you really think it is my router the windos machine is plugged into the jack between the mac and the kubuntu - lol [22:08] dougl: nope, but network configuration, host files or such, that's OS dependent [22:11] dougl: I have seen Centurylink cause strange issues with DNS resolutions. Symptoms were very slow web page response. I configured the network connection to use google dns a problem was solved. [22:14] However, that problem disappeared a couple years ago and I no longer have to have to use google dns... === rwd is now known as ezri
