| Mylon | Old thing. I've re-soldered the power connector on it. Twice. Came with a lot of crapware too. | 00:28 |
| DarinMiller | I hope samsung uses better supported touchpads than lenovo. No matter what I change on the my Yoga2, it always detects my palm. My dell laptop touchpad works perfectly (after a little tweaking). | 01:11 |
| Mylon | The touchpad on this is like 25% bigger than most so it's hard to type on the keyboard without touching the touchpad. | 01:13 |
| genii | DarinMiller: If the xinput properties listed for the touchpad show a palm detection property, you could check to see if it's enabled | 01:15 |
| Mylon | I have it enabled, but even after fiddling with the settings I can't make it work. Not really sure which way to put the sliders. | 01:15 |
| DarinMiller | I have played with xinput in the past but none of the parameters I changed made any difference. It's been 1.5 years since I've tried. I will try again. Also, libinput does not work any better than xorg/synaptic. | 01:20 |

| Mylon | Yeah, I can't figure out how the hell the touchpad settings work. | 03:40 |
| Mylon | If I increase speed slightly it becomes unusable, if I decrease it slightly it's slow as mollases. | 03:41 |

| rohan | I'm on Kubuntu wily, and can't find how to start / open muon | 08:13 |
| rohan | I can't find it in the kickoff menu or in alt-f2 | 08:13 |
| rohan | any idea what could be going on? | 08:14 |
| valorie | rohan: if you have discover, you can no longer have muon package manager | 08:16 |
| valorie | or vice-versa | 08:16 |
| rohan | valorie: actually, i just noticed that muon-discover is not installed :-/ | 08:16 |
| rohan | feeling quite dumb | 08:16 |
| rohan | i messed around with my system a bit. | 08:16 |
| rohan | do you know how to install all the recommends of a package? | 08:16 |
| valorie | ok, well, it's being renamed to plasma discover | 08:16 |
| valorie | right now muon package manager needs some work, but it can be installed if discover is gone | 08:17 |
| rohan | actually, i think i'm going crazy: http://pastebin.com/2ZQ2phwX | 08:17 |
| valorie | wow | 08:18 |
| valorie | that's rather nuts | 08:18 |
| valorie | please try `sudo apt install -f` | 08:19 |
| valorie | but first do an update | 08:19 |
| valorie | -f means "fix" | 08:19 |
| rohan | strange, i had to do an apt-get install --reinstall muon-discover | 08:20 |
| rohan | i wonder how broken my system really is :( | 08:20 |
| rohan | valorie: i did an upgrade, dist-upgrade, and an install -f | 08:20 |
| valorie | perhaps you removed some files manually or so? | 08:20 |
| rohan | i sure hope not, i try not to touch managed files manually | 08:21 |
| valorie | good advice for all | 08:21 |
| rohan | i just did a ppa-purge for kubuntu-backports | 08:21 |
| valorie | hmmm, ok | 08:21 |
| rohan | because after installing backports, vlc was messed up | 08:21 |
| rohan | videos wouldn't play right | 08:21 |
| valorie | ah, all you need to do is change the skin for vlc | 08:21 |
| rohan | and dragon player crashed the system | 08:21 |
| valorie | ah | 08:21 |
| rohan | valorie: argh, that's all it would have took? :( | 08:21 |
| rohan | how do i change the skin for vlc? | 08:22 |
| valorie | well, then goodbye backports | 08:22 |
| valorie | not sure, I never use it, but I've seen that reported quite a few times here | 08:22 |
| rohan | valorie: yeah, i figured with 16.04 just 2 months away, i can live with an older kde | 08:22 |
| valorie | well, older plasma | 08:23 |
| rohan | right, keep forgetting the new terminlogy | 08:24 |
| rohan | it was much simpler in the kde 3 days :P | 08:24 |
| rohan | i wonder if the kde 3 fork is still around | 08:24 |
| rohan | trident? | 08:24 |

| Retard_ | hi! I have a question about kubuntu amd drivers, is it good place to ask? Never used irc before ;/ ;) | 08:27 |

| Ret__ | thank You for link. Generally I installed previous drivers and they worked; Now i tried to install new version, but I cannot uninstall previous one. | 08:32 |

| amichair | on Kubuntu 15.10, several times a day the window manager crashes - I can see the windows but can't move them, switch between them, alt-tab etc. Is there any way to recover from this without killing all open applications? | 09:57 |
| amichair | currently I restart the sddm service, but then I lose all my work. And the second monitor goes blank and cannot be configured in system settings until a full reboot. | 09:59 |
| hateball | amichair: kquitapp plasmashell && kstart plasmashell | 10:03 |
| nedo | Hi my friends, in a virtual machine i've installed kubuntu 15.10 i read on your site news about Plasma 5.5.3 i want to try it absolutely, i've added repository backport, sudo apr-get update sudo apt get upgrade, but at the reboot i have only black sreen there is some configuration file need to be edited? | 10:03 |
| amichair | hateball: I don't think it's plasmashell that's the problem, but the window manager | 10:03 |
| hateball | Do whatever you feel like | 10:04 |
| amichair | ? | 10:05 |
| amichair | btw, is 5.5.4 being backported too? Maybe they fixed something related. | 10:12 |
| acheron88 | sddm can misbehave on the upgrade | 10:21 |
| acheron88 | anything in /etc/sddm.conf ? | 10:22 |
| stefanw | amichair: try running "kwin_x11 --replace" when this happens | 10:23 |
| acheron88 | one bug was it adding a 'placeholder' default session for sddm | 10:24 |
| amichair | stefanw: I'll try it next time it happens (likely within a few hours...) - thanks | 10:24 |
| acheron88 | which caused sddm to fail to start in some cases, especially if trying to use autologon | 10:24 |
| amichair | acheron88: there is no /etc/sddm.conf, only /etc/sddm/Xsession | 10:25 |
| acheron88 | ok. so not that bug then.... | 10:25 |

| azarus | Hello! | 17:26 |
| soee | hiho azarus | 17:28 |
| azarus | I just wanted to know about the future of Kubuntu, since Jonathan Riddell stepped down. Is Kubuntu going to be there in the future? | 17:28 |
| azarus | Heyo soee. | 17:29 |
| soee | azarus: yes. devs are working now on 16.04 release. | 17:30 |
| azarus | Ah, great to hear. | 17:30 |
| azarus | Any ETA's on it? | 17:30 |
| genii | azarus: Third Thursday in April, sometime after 4pm GMT | 17:32 |
| azarus | Thanks! Going to install kubuntu now. :P | 17:32 |
| azarus | I'm actually a newb to the KDE de, anything i should know? | 17:33 |
| genii | azarus: If you plan to go to 16.04 later, probably best to install the 14.04 and not 15.10 and then later go straight from 14.04 to 16.04.1 when thet point release comes out ( typically June-July) | 17:34 |
| azarus | Hm. I don't think i would mind doing a clean install if i had to, though. | 17:35 |
| azarus | I'm quite clean with my OS's, all i would have to do would be to copy my /home. | 17:36 |
| azarus | Is it not possible to dist-upgrade from a non-LTS release? | 17:38 |
| genii | azarus: Usually from the one just prior. So in this case 15.10, but there have been some issues reported with this currently. All the other interim releases ( 14.10 and 15.04) are now End of Life and problemmatic to upgrade from | 17:43 |
| azarus | OK, got it. And another question, is there a real difference between Linux Mint KDE and Kubuntu? | 17:44 |
| genii | azarus: If you run interim releases, you would normally have to go then in this case 14.10->15.04->15.10->16.04 whereas you can go straight from LTS to LTS, so 14.04->16.04.1 directly | 17:44 |
| genii | azarus: Mint has their own repositories so when issues arise you need to consult their support and not Kubuntu | 17:45 |
| azarus | Sure, but i mean in the overall user experience, since both are based of ubuntu. | 17:45 |
| genii | azarus: I can't speak to that since I haven't run Mint before :) | 17:46 |
| azarus | Ah, okay, no problem. X) | 17:46 |
| genii | ...besides which, it's a fairly subjective question, even for those that have | 17:46 |
| azarus | True. I guess i'll just try them both and see which floats my boat. | 17:47 |
| genii | That's usually the best way | 17:47 |
| azarus | Yeah. I'm currently writing the 15.10 Kubuntu Live USB to try it out. | 17:48 |
| genii | azarus: First thing you may want to install is kubuntu-restricted-extras ( this will give you Flash for playing videos, some MS fonts, and other stuff which cannot be installed by default due to licensing or other issues) | 17:51 |
| azarus | So: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras"? | 17:51 |
| genii | !info kubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:52 |
| ubottu | kubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used media codecs and fonts for Kubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 64 (wily), package size 3 kB, installed size 30 kB | 17:52 |
| azarus | Hm? That's new to me. | 17:52 |
| genii | azarus: First you need to make sure that the multiverse repository is enabled, but yes | 17:52 |
| azarus | Ok. | 17:52 |
| azarus | I'll be back, booting the Live USB. | 17:54 |
