[00:07] So... Wow. X was for some unknown reason using nearly 5 gb (out of my 12). a relog did fix it, but I have no idea what actually caused it [00:07] Facebook is trashnet... [00:07] No, i'm sure that's not the reason why === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [01:09] Someone have a working link on how to enable magnet-links in firefox and ktorrent, i have tried all kinds of stuff in about.config but nothing works :/ [01:17] Seminarian: this worked for me: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012864 [01:30] claydoh: thanks works! [01:30] :) [01:31] What's the timeframe in what kubuntu 15.10 should be "relatively bugfree" ? months? weeks? [01:31] I'm really loving the GUI [01:31] but there are some bugs [01:31] and haven't checked out 14.04 out yet [01:31] I should do that, at least from a live cd :) [01:34] Is KDE Connect working in 15.10 ? [01:34] Somehow the device just doesn't show up [01:41] Seminarian: 16.04, lol, or else update plasma [01:41] http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-5-3-and-frameworks-5-18-0-backported-to-kubuntu-15-10/ [01:42] apparle: it works for me [01:51] claydoh: I just figured out the problem [01:51] I've enabled UFW, and that's blocking kdeconnectd [01:51] I'm not really a expert on writing firewalls, can anyone help me create a firewall rule which will allow kdeconnect ? [01:52] writing firewall rules* [01:57] claydoh: Ohh a backport is an upgrade.. always thought it was a downgrade or something [01:58] So plasma won't be updated by doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" until I upgrade to 16.04, is that correct? [01:58] nope, Seminarian backports are things taken from a newer version (inn this case 16.04) and rebuilt for the previous version [01:59] correct [01:59] you have to get the plasma updates via the ppa or waiting for the next Kubuntu release [01:59] It's always a gamble right [02:00] gonna gamble :-) [02:00] I'll ad them to repositories and do dist-upgrade [02:00] cool i'm a fan of backports! [02:01] yes, and no, you always take a chance but overall it works well, and has for manhy years [02:01] when is 16.04 due? is that the same release time for Ubuntu 16.04 [02:01] alright I'm going to do it right away [02:01] yup [02:02] But if bugs are fixed in plasma they would never be fixed unless people upgrade to 16.04, isn't that strange? [02:04] I always assumed that if you take 15.10 in 1 year and do apt dist-upgrade.. All bugs would be gone [02:04] Or do they branch off just to fix bugs ? [02:19] fingers crossed for reboot [02:29] awesome, it sure is an improvement :-) [02:29] goodnight! === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica === rodrigo is now known as Guest85972 [03:24] Hello all! [03:24] I have an issue with kubuntu 15.10 [03:24] Kalarm simply will not work. [03:24] Sends error messages, even with a clean install. [03:25] Help would be greatly appreciated, or maybe an alternative. [04:16] hi [04:16] someone connected I have a question? === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [05:22] hi [05:25] hola quade [05:25] hi [05:25] hi how are [07:06] ponchale: if you want to upgrade, you'll need to run `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` [07:06] and that will take awhile perhaps === mk is now known as Guest99787 === vishnu is now known as Guest46520 === vishnu is now known as Guest37167 === zippy is now known as Guest94990 [11:59] I don't seem to be able to find a nice comparison between 15.04 and 15.10, anyone have any idea where I could find that? [12:01] Oh wait it's 14.04 [12:03] darksim: In regard to the new plasma desktop, or something else? [12:04] acheron88: yeah that along most other things [12:05] I guess I'll just go with 15.10 [12:07] Hey guys I've enabled "Active screen follows mouse" in windows behavior but applications still don't launch to where my mouse focus is at? Sometimes they launch on my left (integrated laptop screen who is not primary monitor).. What am I missing? [12:10] Even when I minimize from my primary (hdmi) monitor the minimizing animation shows all windows going to the task bar of my left monitor [12:21] Alright on th ebright side found where to put the keyboard shortcut to move the iwndows manually from screen to screen [12:25] really weird when i play the game on my 27 inch and minimize it it goes back to left monitor [13:14] howdy folks [13:30] howdy [13:39] Hm...I need some help with my /boot/efi partition [13:39] I sort of have...formatted it [13:42] darksim, sort of? [13:42] Completely [13:42] what's left partition-wise? [13:43] wiped the whole drive including uefi boot partition? [13:44] No I have all the partitions intact so to speak [13:44] I was distrohopping a bit cuz of promises and I made the decision to format the efi partition, I haven't changed any partitions in size [13:45] I formatted root home and efi while leaving my bulk storage untouched and mounted on a junk folder [13:45] I just didn't expect it all to break so badly when I formatted the efi, I thought if you changed the OS too much you had to change it [13:45] formatteed to? [13:46] Well it was supposed to be the exact same as it was...just cleaned up [13:46] what did you use to cleane it up? [13:46] Well I used the partition manager that was provided during installation of the OS [13:47] It knew it was like FAT32 /boot/efi [13:47] so all I did was select the format option [13:48] so you still have a gpt partition table etc [13:48] I should, can I check that quickly somehow? [13:48] lsblk doesn't give me that info [13:49] Hm I fired up KDE Partition Manager, since Im in Kubuntu Live USB [13:49] and both the SSD and the HDD are still gpt partitioned [13:49] darksim, sudo fdisk -l will tell you the partition table type [13:50] the SSD is 250-ish GB and is supposed to hold both the efi, root and home [13:50] while the HDD just holds files [13:51] Disklabel type: xxx, should show [13:52] OK /dev/sda : the HDD is gpt [13:53] and /dev/sdc the SSD is also gpt [13:54] and further looking I get that /dev/sdc1 is EFI system type [14:03] ok well , if you still have the proper formatting for uefi-boot then ubiquity should be able install grub to the uefi-boot [14:05] Does it matter where I put my boot loader installation? [14:05] I mean I think I'd like to use the SSD but it's sdc and the HDD is sda [14:06] Which means that the HDD is found before the SSD, does that matter? [14:06] darksim, kubuntu installer ,ubiquity will put it in uefi-boot where it belongs [14:08] So during disk setup, that's ubiquity? [14:08] darksim, which drive has the uefi-boot partition, that's where grub should be installed [14:08] the SSD /dev/sdc is where I'd put the boot loader installation [14:08] and the EFI partition [14:08] ubiquity is the kubuntu installer [14:09] but I don't think ubiquity is handling this well, I don't get the correct selections [14:09] Use as: FAT32. Format: Yes. Mount point: /boot/efi. [14:09] Should I do that? [14:09] yes [14:10] I had to put that in manually in Ubiquity tho [14:10] Just saying [14:12] Hm...why can't I select format... [14:12] Dang it [14:13] I prefer manual partitioning , you have more control [14:14] That's what I'm using in the installer [14:14] I never use the guided one since it always wants to wipe a whole disk and I like seperating /home to it's own partition even if it's on the same drive [14:14] good [14:15] I just don't get why I can't use the format on the efi partition [14:16] I just can't click the button [14:16] if it's already formatted, why worry [14:16] Well maybe it isn't? [14:17] It's borked for all I know [14:17] Not sure what's in it [14:18] with new systemd Grub -> sddm time is ~ 6/7 seconds here pretty nice [14:18] let ubiquity worry about that , grub should install there automatically at the end of the installation afaik, it may ask you if want grub to install [14:20] soee, does grub install automatically to the uefi-boot partition? [14:21] hmm i'm not sure [14:21] !usefi [14:21] !uefi [14:21] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:22] darksim, how did grub install on you last linux OS ? [14:22] your [14:23] Well I was using Linux Mint, installed Kubuntu no real problem, tried to install Manjaro, failed, went back to Kubuntu, still failed [14:23] So yes you can probably blame Manjaro for this [14:23] describe [14:23] failed, what were you doing etc [14:24] I got the partition manager and I set it up as I described, only difference is that the partition part of Manjaros installation let me put a format on the efi partition [14:25] Which I thought would be a good idea since Ubuntu-based to Arch-based was probably too big of a leap to leave the important stuff intact, I thought [14:25] so after install was done I rebooted and the system was caught in a loop, resetting whenever it tried to load any drives I bet [14:26] So I had to open up the PC and actually unplug the SSD with the supposed boot loader installation and efi partition on it, launch it back on again with live USB, make a Kubuntu live USB in the Manjaro live environment and then boot up Kubuntu live environment. I also plugged in the SSD mid-session [14:28] Hey BluesKaj if I press ctl - alt -del in plasma 5.5 the logout window should appear on my primary monitor right? [14:28] Well the installation is complete [14:28] *"primary display" [14:28] I went into KDE Partition Manager just to check and the sdc1 didn't have a boot flag [14:28] so I put a boot flag there, is that OK? [14:29] the efi partition that is [14:29] darksim, did you try setting the ssd as the first in theuefi/bios boot sequence [14:30] Seminarian, usually, yes [14:30] BluesKaj: I'll check that when I restart now [14:31] Seminarian, I don't have multiple monitors, but idoes appear here when using those keys [14:31] BluesKaj:it always comes at my left display (integrated laptop screen), I even enabled "follow mouse cursor" in "window rules" [14:31] If I launch counterstrike it also shows up on my left display (not primary) [14:32] If I launch playonlinux as well on my left [14:32] Am I missing a setting perhaps? [14:32] Seminarian, i don't know much about multiple monitors, sorry. [14:33] Ok no problem man [14:33] It's really buggy, sometimes the window manager crashes and the display manager restarts [14:33] when changing montior configuration [14:33] I use my TV as a monitor, it's large enough to not need more then one [14:34] than [14:34] okay cool, do you use custom shortcuts or default shortcuts for your window management? [14:35] I have a 27 inch but like to use my 17 inch to put some other static data or video clips open [14:36] Seminarian, no I use activities setup with different apps in each [14:37] Okay I really have to check that feature out sounds promising [14:37] What kinda work do you do on your computer? Coding? Design? .. [14:39] oops [14:41] Lol :-) [14:41] BluesKaj: What kinda work do you do on your computer? Coding? Design? ..

Where can I find the equivalent of the "update menu, addiontal software" tab of Ubuntu in Kubuntu where I could change the installed Nvidia display driver [16:42] *? [16:42] *additional [16:42] I can't seem to find the menu [16:45] Seminarian,Kmenu>computer>system settings>driver manager [16:46] my laptop has a touch screen but i cannot understand what is the use of that.

[16:47] BluesKaj: Oh, i looked there but clicked it away too soon. Thanks! [16:48] Seminarian, which nvidia driver fits your gpu? [16:49] BluesKaj: I'm installing 361 (recommended) I have gtx860M [16:49] I was using 358 before [16:49] Looked up on nvidia site and they suggested the 361 as well [16:49] time for a reboot and testing if there's any difference in the game [16:50] cheers [17:00] Hi there [17:00] For the Kubuntu Live DVD what's the pasword?

I switch from kubuntu 12.04 LTS "precise" to the latest kubuntu: 15.10 "wily". I can't find any way of moving my konversation settings to the new computer (the 15.10 one). [19:19] /36/50 [19:20] I tried transferring both .kde/share/apps/konversation/ .kde/share/config/konversationrc but the new konvesation has no knowledge of all the list of servers and channels and passwords and accounts :-( [19:21] yet, all that info is obviously in .kde/share/config/konversationrc but it is ignored :-( [19:21] Any idea ? [19:22] Jyhem_: Tried ~/.config/konversationrc ? [19:23] RealKinetix: no, let me try [19:25] YES! Thanks a lot, RealKinetix :-D [19:25] I would never have guessed :-( [19:26] No worries... I hadn't run it on my system here, so fired it up and did a quick look for it's config file [19:26] You probably could have save your conversationrc file as some other name entirely, then removed all instances of konversationrc and started konversation to see where the config file showed up [19:27] ... Just giving you the suggestion on how I would have looked myself if I was in your position. [19:27] my home directory is so cluttered, how could I have seen there was a new file ? [19:27] find . -iname 'konversat*' [19:28] good point. I did that on the origin computer, not on the target one. Silly me [19:29] hah! That [19:29] That'd do it [19:32] Soon I can switch off the old slow computer. :) [19:34] hello all [19:35] Anyone has an idea how to make unread feeds show up in big bold visible black in akregator?

[21:55] Tried to install different nvidia drivers like tihs [21:59] I have set alsamixer's auto-mute to disabled because I like to have sound coming out of both my headphones and speakers at the same time [21:59] But for some reason I have to unplug and plug in headphones to get any sound in my headphones [22:01] This time I've done "apt-get install nvidia 355" rebooted, and driver manager still lists nouveau? Driver manager is wrong?! [22:06] iirc installing it only lists it as available in the driver manager? [22:07] Not actually applies it [22:10] Although sometimes when I use the driver manager to apply a driver it works for a while, then reloads showing nouveau [22:10] And I have to try again heh === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away === SonikkuAmerica is now known as _7 [23:42] hey, what should I be telling someone with ubuntu to do to install Plasma?
