[01:05] Anyone know if there's a way to make spotify work with lates kubuntu? [01:07] VxM: What problem are you having with it? [01:09] I installed it following instructions on their website and I can find it in search but it just shows at taskbar for few seconds and then disappears [01:15] VxM: If you run it in Konsoile with: spotify ... does it complain about libgcrypt.so.11 ? [01:16] echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list [01:16] thats what it gives [01:18] What you pasted was one of the instructions off their page to install it [01:18] ( and not presumably a link to a pastebin with what happens when you try to run it) [01:19] oh right that was on my clip board still [01:19] sec [01:19] spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:19] that's what I get [01:25] VxM: What it needs is for you to make a symbolic link called libgcrypt.so.11 which points to your actual one which is a later version. Are you on 32 or 64 bit, or a different platform altogether? [01:27] * genii makes more coffee [01:28] I'm on 64bit os [01:30] VxM: Then please give the result of: ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt* ...and then I can give you the correct command to make the symbolic link [01:32] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 helmi 5 18:25 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20 -> libgcrypt.so.20.0.3 [01:32] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 924096 touko 21 2015 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20.0.3 [01:33] VxM: So then: sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20.0.3 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11 [01:34] ok done. It should work now? [01:37] Hopefully. Although it looks like you have libgcrypt20 series, not sure if they have compatible libraries [01:37] We will know if it throws an error after tryig to run it again from Konsole [01:38] !info libgcrypt11 wily [01:38] Package libgcrypt11 does not exist in wily [01:38] Hm [01:38] !info libgcrypt11 vivid [01:38] Package libgcrypt11 does not exist in vivid [01:40] Interesting. My Vivid box has 11 but apt doesn't know where it came from ( probably from a previous Kubuntu, this one has been upgraded continuously) [01:40] !info libgcrypt11 precise [01:40] libgcrypt11 (source: libgcrypt11): LGPL Crypto library - runtime library. In component main, is standard. Version 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.4 (precise), package size 275 kB, installed size 615 kB [01:41] Well this is less than week old [01:42] VxM: Did it throw some error when you tried: spotify at command line? [01:42] lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11: version `GCRYPT_1.2' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so) [01:43] I pasted that earlier but accidentally left / at begining [01:44] Yeah, so just linking will be no good. So now we need to remove the symbolic link: sudo rm /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11 [01:44] ..and to do the more complicated procedure :) [01:45] !info libgcrypt11 trusty [01:45] libgcrypt11 (source: libgcrypt11): LGPL Crypto library - runtime library.

I found libcrypt.so.1 Do I need to move it or what? I'm kinda new with this [01:54] No, don't bother removing that one [01:57] VxM: I will give you now the instructions, one line at a time:wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libgcrypt11/libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb [01:57] VxM: tar -xvf data.tar.xz [01:58] VxM: sudo mv lib /opt/spotify/spotify-client [01:59] VxM: sudo chown -R root:root /opt/spotify/spotify-client/lib [01:59] hold on [01:59] that tar gave me Cannot open: No such file or directory [01:59] Apologies, forgot one command right after the wget one [02:00] VxM: ar -x libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb [02:00] VxM: From that ar -x, go to the next ones [02:01] VxM: After the sudo chown command which i gave, to do: [02:01] VxM: sudo ldconfig /opt/spotify/spotify-client/lib [02:03] Ok I got that far [02:04] VxM: If you have completed the ldconfig command now and all of the previous commands completed OK, try again with running spotify on the command line [02:10] Yeah I got it working now. [02:10] Thanks alot about that [02:10] VxM: Glad to assist [02:12] though now I understand why some people find linux dark and mysterious world [02:12] Heh :) [02:12] VxM: Hopefully at some point Spotify updates their package to the libgcrypt20 and solves the issue [02:13] install-> agree -> next -> next -> done doesn't work anymore [02:13] yeah hope so === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [02:41] I've reported the problem in detail now to Spotify's bug report system, but I don't hold out much hope there for a fix. === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === hoo is now known as Guest31714 === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [06:53] hi [07:15] I want to run an untrusted program. I've made another user for it and am about to run it under that user. I see countless people online saying that it should be run in a chroot or a virtual machine, though. What's wrong with an unprivileged user account? I thought UNIX was a multi-user system, but if running unsafe programs /requires/ a separate machine (virtualized or not), then it obviously isn't. What's the reason for this? [08:05] Hey guys [08:05] I'm wondering if there is an easy way I can redownload and reinstall the KDE5 packages on my system [08:05] Or rather my laptop [08:06] I'm not sure what's going on but it's waaaaaaaaaaay more unstable than my desktp. KWin is crashing constantly and there are various other oddities (The cross icon for notifications missing, etc) === Steffstoff is now known as Guest85924 [09:09] hey ho [09:09] should have stayed with 14.04.3 kubuntu xD [09:10] does anybody know the state of plasma 5.5.4 package for kubuntu 15.10? [09:10] not here i use lts kubuntu i wont use plasma 5 till the next lts release im staying with kde 4 xD [09:23] Good morning. [09:25] Morning [09:27] Hey Smurphy, how are you? [09:31] tired. Time I go on PTO -> Snowboarding with my girlsa next week :) That will be fun ! :D [09:32] Anb you ? [09:32] Nice, have fun ;) [09:32] I got coffee next to me, guess I'm doing okay. [09:33] yeah - got my 3rd coffee now :D [09:33] Where are you going to snowboard? [09:38] Vauges ... Small station in the French Jura :} [09:43] Is that still part of the alps? [09:44] No. Jura - other mountain chain [09:44] Not as high as the alps. [09:44] Ah, I see. [09:45] :} [10:07] hi there! I have a problem with my pc with kubuntu. i have two network adapter. I need to change setting of eth0. I googled and the path /etc/sysconfig in my kubuntu is not present [10:07] where can i modify the settings of the0? [10:07] where can i modify the settings of eth0? [10:08] ilgios: Under Kubuntu network interfaces are configured through Network Manager. [10:08] Normally, anyhow. [10:09] lordvander under NetworkManager the ip is correctly set, but if i do from command line a ifconfgi eht0, i have another ip address [10:09] ilgios: Use the Network Manager to take down the interface and then re-establish the connection. === root is now known as Guest37776 === Shiva is now known as Guest46675 === Guest46675 is now known as TreeOfLife [11:55] HI folks === matteo__ is now known as matteo [14:10] hi, how to disable ktorrent autostart in 15.10? [14:10] there is no ~/.kde/autostart dir in my home [14:11] there is no ktorrent entry in autostart kde control module [14:12] system setting [14:12] startup-shutdown [14:12] autostart [14:12] uncheck the enabled status [14:13] clivejo: there is no ktorrent entry there [14:13] check in ktorrent for an autostart option [14:14] do you save your session? [14:14] BluesKaj: I did't find that option it in ktorrent [14:14] prefer qbittorrent here, it's more configurable === jubo2 is now known as juboblogr [14:21] io: are you restoring your session on startup? [14:22] as opposed to starting with a blank session [14:22] oh clivejo already asked [14:22] hateball: may be, I did not check that. it's my second day with kde [14:23] io: it's enabled by default, so [14:23] (a most awful default imo) [14:23] ok. I try to close it and reboot. [14:33] ok, that ktorrent autostart was a session restore thing === elien is now known as sk_ryan007 [15:52] where do i get information about building status of plasma 5.5.4 package for 15.10 wily? [16:01] noaXess: You can go to #kubunut-devel if you are willing to help test via a PPA [16:17] noaXess: #kubuntu-devel that is. [16:17] jep.. i see.. and also found the landing backports ppa ;) [16:17] https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-landing [16:18] I am sure that channel would love to hear your test results. === Mylon_ is now known as Mylonian [17:01] So windows keep flashing like 10 times rapidly before minimizing/maximizing/switching. It's grating on me. [17:02] Is this a known issue? I just installed, but do I need to update video drivers? [17:03] Mylonian: never heard of that issue [17:03] is there any particular time it does it? [17:04] It seemed fine during the live demo and during like, the first 5 minutes I was using it. Then I clicked in Muon to install Pidgin and it froze for a few seconds so I clicked again and then all hell broke loose and now it does it always, even after a restart. [17:05] First 5 minutes after the fresh install I mean. [17:05] Lemme try powering it off entirely... [17:05] Lemme or Lemy? [17:05] :) [17:06] have you the open source or proprietary drivers installed? [17:08] Whatever the default is. [17:09] x.org AMD/ATI display wrapper (recommended) [17:09] A power cycle seems to have fixed it. For now... [17:09] * clivejo fingers crossed :) [17:11] So the default IM client in kubuntu doesn't support IRC. [17:11] What's up with that? === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [17:14] Mylonian: I caught the tail end of the flashing issue. From the limited description, the flashing may be fixed by toggling the composter off/on Alt+shift+f12. [17:17] Mylonian: KDE has an IRC dedicated app call Konversation. It works quite well but it does not integrate with telepathy (the default IM app). [17:17] Thanks for the info. [17:20] Mylonian: Since I missed the 1st part or your post, are you running 15.10? [17:31] I'm trying to configure a "Office 365/Lync" instant messaging account in wiley using the backports ppa. It tells me I need the "sipe" telepathy connection manager. Any idea what package I need to install? Searching for sipe didn't bring anthing up in muon and going through the results for telepathy in aptitude didn't indicate anything obvious either. [17:35] d12fk, I see pidgin-sipe and pidgin-sipe-dbg in regular muon, not the default muon discover [17:36] Yeah, I think it's 15.10 [17:37] And the flickering is back. [17:37] Mylonian: The flashing issue is reduced with newer versions of Plasma. Are you familiar with the backports ppa? [17:37] nothing about sipe with telepathy though [17:38] I am not. I haven't touched Linux in like... 5 years? [17:38] d12fk,^ [17:38] Mylonian: did the alt+shift+f12 fix the flashing? [17:38] It did. [17:39] Mylonian: Have you ever installed PPA's? [17:40] I have not! Unless that's what Muon does. [17:40] KDE has a backports ppa that brings new releases to older distributions. https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports [17:40] Kubuntu 15.10 is an older distribution? [17:41] BluesKaj: thanks, pidgin-sipe at least made plasma not crash any more when adding a sipe account via libpurple [17:41] Alright, here I am with the troublesome laptop. [17:42] And somehow I have a presence on this server with my proper username but I'm not sure where/how. [17:42] 15.10 is the latest Canonical/Kubuntu release but does not have the latest KDE packages (Frameworks, Plasma, application). The backport ppa enables new releases before the next release of Kubuntu. [17:43] Mylonian: to install the ppa, go to the command line and paste: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [17:44] Ah, figures. Linux still very much requires the command line. [17:44] Then run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade. [17:44] And I can't seem to find it... Go me. [17:45] Not really. There is a gui method but it is more complicated to explain from a chat window. [17:46] Mylon1: IIRC software repositories in ubuntu has a way to add software repos [17:46] konsole, that's what I'm looking for. [17:46] Yes. [17:46] got run, I wil check in later... [17:46] Thanks for your help. [17:50] BluesKaj: I correct myself: crashes less often... do I really have to use pidgin? =( [17:52] Holy cow, that's a lot of touchpad options. [17:52] Gonna be forever before I figure out how to tune it so the palm stops doing stuff. [17:53] d12fk, i really don't know, personally i don't use either pidgin or telepathy [18:01] I think this KDE update is taking longer than the full install of Kubuntu did. === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [18:06] And now my touchpad isn't working. Taps no longer register as clicks. Argh. [18:07] And touchpad won't launch anymore. I'm regretting this decision. :/ === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === _zxq9_ is now known as zxq9 === juboblogr is now known as jubo2 === Mylon1 is now known as Mylon [18:42] So... irc.ubundu.com redirects to freenode. That explains some stuff. === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [18:58] And.... Youtube shows a black pane instead of video. Hmm. === Steffstoff is now known as Guest64396 [18:59] Mylon, install flashplugin-installer [19:00] I thought that was grabbed by the Kubuntu installer... At least it specifically named flash as one of the third party software installs. [19:02] But I also thought Youtube went to html5... [19:03] Mylon, using firefox? if so then install the plugin-installer, chrome has itr's own configured embedded flash [19:03] Mylon, not all video is HTML5 on YT [19:10] Oh wow, Firefox's addon search is full of scammy looking stuff. [19:10] "Youtube flash player" [19:10] Just looking for Flash [19:12] Mylon, try the frehplayer as well , some sites don't use the same adobe flash as most others [19:12] freshplayer even [19:13] Are you awayre of any issues related to X11 with latest release? both my Dell and Lenovo freeze after the login [19:14] aboudreault, depends on which gpu most likely [19:15] no issues here with nvidia or intel, amd seems to have some [19:15] my dell is probably a generic intel graphic card [19:15] emm :/ [19:15] trying to see in the logs [19:17] I'm wrong.... looks like both my lenovo and dell has the same card. A NVIDIA Quadro K1100 [19:18] I can see a FAULT of nouveau in dmesg. [19:19] aboudreault, which kubuntu? [19:20] sorry, :P. I'm not using Kubuntu in fact, but netrunner-os.. just ask here since both are developed by blue systems and are similar. [19:20] I know it's not your problem at this point. I will try to figure out how to fix that. [19:21] I think I have to ensure nouveau is uninstalled, blacklisted and install the proper nvidia driver. [19:24] nouveau is normally removed when a nvidia proprietary driver is installing [19:24] Ok. let me simply try to install it with the installer. [19:24] usually there's no need to blacklist, but it probly can't hurt [19:32] BBL, stuuff to do for 20mins or so. === renato is now known as rkrull [20:05] yeah. this is the bug I'm experiencing: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189145 [20:05] a sddm segfault [20:08] aboudreault, can you get to VT/TTY? if so run sudo systemctl enable sddm [20:08] yes, currently stopped it. [20:09] let me try [20:09] ls [20:09] The unit file have no install section [20:10] I wonder if I can not simply install another display managet [20:11] don't think any other DM will run in systemd === christoph is now known as chrsch === EvilRoey is now known as adaroeyus === adaroeyus is now known as EvilRoey [20:31] Blargh. So I can't figure out how to tweak this touchpad to not trigger from palm movements. [20:32] At some point I ended up disabling tapping entirely and I'm not sure how so I just went back to defaults. :/ [21:01] fixed some issues, still have this one though: sddm-greeter opengl failed to create context neither glx nor egl are enabled [21:10] How do I move notifications? They're appearing in the right-center of screen instead of right-bottom. === yura is now known as ymar === DalekSec_ is now known as DalekSec [21:51] hello all === Google is now known as e [21:57] installed kubuntu 1510 - works fine [22:51] Mylon: Still here? [22:59] Yeah. [23:03] did you resolve the notification location issue? [23:03] I found an article that involved installing a program to customize notifications. [23:03] But I didn't wanna do that. [23:03] By chance did you change your screen resolution? [23:04] Not that I know of. [23:04] This article shows that there's 6 possible locations, and they currently appear at #2: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128474/how-to-customize-on-screen-notifications [23:04] I have seen issues with plasma remembering the smallest screen resolution and displaying/centering things accordingly. [23:05] from konsole try this: killall plasmashell && plasmashell & [23:05] That will restart your plasma shell. [23:05] then, to check notifications, run this from the konsole: kdialog --title syslog --passivepopup "foo" 2 [23:06] Or you could just say my name in chat because Pidgin uses notifications. :3 [23:07] ok, I will have to give pidgin a spin. I have not tried it in years but I liked it when I used to use it. [23:07] It supports damn near everything. [23:08] I saw they supported MS protocols which would be handy for work IM's. [23:08] I just had a problem in Windows where it would occasionally need a restart after a few weeks because it ran out of memory or would end up eating a processor. [23:09] But that could have been the windows GUI they used. I forget the name of it... [23:10] So after killing Plasmashell and relaunching it, I seem to lack a taskbar. [23:11] ensure to exit konsole by typing exit. Otherwise, it will kill all child processes launched from the shell. [23:11] use alt-spacebar to launch krunner and type: plasmashell [23:12] I typed plasmashell + enter into the alt-spacebar widget that popped up and nothing happened. [23:12] Clarification: Clicking on the the windows controls to close konsole kills the child processes. [23:13] type alt-spacebar and type konsole [23:13] Nothing. [23:13] then type "plasmashell &" [23:13] The konsole doesn't pop up. [23:15] why typing in the widget, does it bring up a list of matching items as you type? [23:16] why = when [23:16] No, I just see a box I can type into and nothing happens except what I type appears in the box. [23:17] So yeah, I seem to be stuck with the windows I have open. [23:18] the little box is called krunner. it's supposed to match anything it can find on your computer with the text that you type... but krunner seems to be misbehaving. [23:18] I can get a console by hitting alt-f1, but I don't think that's what I want. [23:18] by chance did you assign a keyboard shortcut to open konsole? [23:18] ctrl-alt f1 [23:18] Not that I know of. [23:20] you could try the killall plasmashell && plasmashell & from the ctrl-alt-f1 but I don't think it will work as it will not see the necessary components. [23:23] Huh, so I log in to the other workstation or whatever it's called and it says ** system update required ** [23:23] Err [23:23] System restart. [23:23] So maybe I should just reboot. [23:24] I think at this point I would recommend a reboot. Close down everything, drop to the ctrl+alt+f1 prompt and type reboot. [23:24] 'k, brb. [23:24] you could also stop sddm and then restart it, but reboots are typically pretty fast. [23:27] Alright, notifications appear in bottom-right. [23:28] cool [23:28] Thanks for helping me out. [23:28] Now my next task... Figure out how to get palmsense on my touchpad to work right. [23:28] np. The commands I gave should not have caused to many problems. [23:29] I just tried alt-space and it works as it should. [23:29] Showing stuff as I type. [23:34] What model of laptop do you have?
