[01:40] <alibra> monitor just started shutting down, switched to mageia, same thing. using ati with no problems before this. anyone have any ideas? Not doing it on win 7 so i take it not overheating.
[01:44] <alibra> just goes black like it's shutting down but pc keeps running and can't get back up
[01:44] <alibra> power settings are off and no themes
[02:02] <alibra> running dual monitors and both Kubuntu and Mageia run about 3 mins and shut down so it's not the monitor. didn't change anything in Mageia and running 2 weeks Kubuntu main no other problems.
[02:04] <D-rex> is it turning off or standby?
[02:05] <alibra> they shut down the monitors  pc stays on
[02:06] <alibra> hit every button and nothing comes back on monitor wise
[02:06] <alibra> and moved mouse
[02:08] <D-rex> But just to clarify the power of monitor is off or is the screen black but power to monitor is on
[02:08] <alibra> yes u correct
[02:09] <alibra> power on screen goes black and shuts power off to them
[02:10] <alibra> screen says no signal
[02:10] <D-rex> sounds like a driver issue
[02:11] <alibra> worked fine for 2 weeks no problem either distro? just started tonight
[02:12] <alibra> thought maybe someone heard of this before
[02:12] <D-rex> heard of similar issues that were driver related
[02:12] <D-rex> did you try disabling screen energy sav emode
[02:12] <alibra> yes
[02:13] <D-rex> what version are you running
[02:13] <alibra> i don't get why it would effect both kubuntu and mageia when i had no probs with either before
[02:13] <alibra> 14.04
[02:14] <D-rex> maybe hardware issue ?
[02:15] <alibra> hate to reload and try again, windows has no problem
[02:19] <alibra> Thanks D-rex if it continues guess I'll just reload and see what that does.
[02:21] <D-rex> yw hope you fix it i hate issues like that
[02:23] <Mylon> Argh.  Stupid computer locked up on me.
[02:24] <Mylon> I installed Samba and something glitched and I wasn't able to switch tasks.  Had to restart.
[02:26] <Mylon> Oh hey, two touch scrolling is back...
[02:32] <tavito> hola
[02:33] <tavito> alguno habla español
[02:34] <genii> !es
[02:34] <Unit193> !es | tavito
[02:34] <Unit193> Welp.
[04:27] <bob2021> hey... I'mt trying to give up on 15.10 and install 14.04, but my machine isn't seeing the livecd at boot time.  is there any way to run the installer without rebooting into the livecd?
[04:28] <valorie> bob2021: no, you need to have either a booted DVD/USB or a mounted ISO
[04:28] <valorie> and I've never done the mounted ISO way.....
[04:28] <valorie> I think that's only for a VM
[04:34] <bob2021> dammit
[04:41] <valorie> bob2021: have you verified the image on the DVD?
[04:41] <valorie> !md5
[07:26] <noaXess> morning
[07:27] <noaXess> for kate.. wasn't there any option to convert charachters to htmlentities?
[07:56] <noaXess> does anybody have a good alternative to ktimetracker.. to record the time on a specific desktop? i used ktimetracker long time.. and its really nice to record the time only on a spec. desktop..
[08:53] <lordieva1er> Good morning.
[09:02] <noaXess> hey lordievader
[09:06] <lordievader> Hey noaXess, how are you?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:08] <Guest65785> Hi! Just install Kubuntu for the first time! So pretty!
[14:16] <soee_> hi Guest65785, good to hear you like it :)
[14:19] <Guest65785> Any advices about security/customization/update/things to do once installed?
[14:21] <soee_> are you on 15.10 ?
[14:21] <Guest65785> yes
[14:22] <soee_> than only add backports-ppa and install updates
[14:22] <Guest65785> ok
[14:23] <soee_> http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-5-3-and-frameworks-5-18-0-backported-to-kubuntu-15-10/
[14:23] <soee_> probably soon Plasma 5.5.4 will land there to
[14:24] <Guest65785> What is Plasma? :(
[14:24] <BluesKaj> it's the kde desktop
[14:24] <soee_> what you see on your screen :)
[14:25] <Guest65785> Ok didn't know that KDEs version had nickname
[14:25] <soee_> KDE is a community
[14:25] <Guest65785> hum
[14:26] <soee_> desktop environment, apps etc. was once called KDE3, KDE4
[14:26] <soee_> but since some time we have KDE Community, that ships Plasma, Applications, Frameworks etc.
[14:27] <soee_> so Plasma is your desktop environment, Application teh apps you use anf Frameworks are used to build Plasma and Applications
[14:28] <Guest65785> Didn't know that, thx
[14:29] <soee_> Np. enjoy Kubuntu :)
[16:39] <jemand> Hi, how do I reset the graficadapter in Kubuntu?
[16:41] <BluesKaj> jemand, which gpu ?
[16:41] <jemand> not sure / build in
[16:41] <jemand> I switched the harddisk to a Thinkpad 500
[16:42] <jemand> It came from a NVidia computer
[16:42] <jemand> grafic
[16:43] <jemand> Kubuntu can't start grafik - says: no discrete graficadapter
[16:48] <chr1s> jernand: so you have your existing kubuntu installation on a whole new machine now (you moved the disk to a different computer)?
[16:49] <jemand> chrls: yes changed machine
[16:49] <chr1s> there could be quite a few things that are different then (different driver for network card, sound, graphics, etc)
[16:50] <jemand> network is running even in revovery
[16:51] <chr1s> sorry, lost my connection while i was talking to jernand
[16:52] <chr1s> not sure if you saw my message
[16:52] <jemand> no prob
[16:52] <jemand> yes sow it, network is running in recovery
[16:53] <chr1s> so if you moved the disk then there could be lots of drivers that are different now
[16:53] <chr1s> do you know what graphics card you have on the new machine?
[16:53] <jemand> not realy - T500 standard
[16:54] <chr1s> do you at least get a log in on a console
[16:54] <jemand> 1200 * 768
[16:54] <jemand> i'm in recovery console
[16:55] <chr1s> ok, so you have something graphical to work with or your stuck on command line?
[16:55] <jemand> graphical mode can't start
[16:55] <chr1s> command line then
[16:56] <jemand> stuck on command line
[16:57] <chr1s> ok
[16:58] <jemand> Intel GM45 Chipset
[16:59] <chr1s> what happens if you run startx
[16:59] <chr1s> what does the output say when it fails
[17:01] <jemand> there is an NVidia defined which can't be found
[17:02] <jemand> what wil happen if I delete xorg.conf?
[17:07] <chr1s> do you have an xorg.conf?
[17:07] <jemand> yes
[17:07] <chr1s> ok, rename it:
[17:07] <chr1s> mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak
[17:07] <jemand> ok
[17:07] <chr1s> definietly it won't work if you have one
[17:08] <chr1s> without it, X should try to autodetect stuff
[17:08] <chr1s> try startx again and see what happens :)
[17:08] <jemand> still the error: No discrete VGA device found
[17:09] <chr1s> ok so probably it doesn't know how to drive your graphics card
[17:09] <chr1s> it might be missing x drivers or it might be your kernel...
[17:09] <chr1s> ever build your own kernel?
[17:12] <jemand> nope
[17:12] <chr1s> ok so hopefully just xorg drivers then
[17:13] <jemand> I set it up again. No big deal
[17:13] <jemand> extra /home partition
[17:13] <chr1s> it will be easier probably yeah
[17:13] <chr1s> ok cool
[17:13] <chr1s> it's the quickest way otherwise you will probably spend lots of time figuring out everything you need
[17:13] <jemand> It'll take not more than 20 min...
[17:13] <jemand> no work @all
[17:14] <chr1s> you could potentially cheat with a live cd to figure out what you need and then reboot and install the bits
[17:14] <chr1s> but to be honest it would probably take longer than reinstalling
[17:16] <chr1s> good luck
[17:30] <jemand> chr1s: THX for help. Installation ready- everything fine.
[17:39] <denza242> hmm, I'm having problems with Kontact/Akonadi
[17:40] <denza242> see, one time when I was prompted to punch in the password for kwallet when it was specifically for akonadi_imap_resource or something
[17:40] <denza242> and I accidentally closed the prompt
[17:41] <denza242> so now for some reason, Akonadi/Kontact can't access KWallet at all
[17:42] <denza242> I tried deleting every kontact/akonadi config file I could find but it still won't prompt me at all
[17:47] <BluesKaj> denza242, wish i could help , but i avoid the PIM packages and akonadi and kwallet like the plague since I'm merely a home user
[17:47] <denza242> why kwallet?
[17:49] <BluesKaj> guess i never relly learned how to use it so i just disable it ...always seemed very clunky to me.
[18:00] <denza242> fair enough
[19:03] <Mylon> What's the keyboard command to stop the plasma flicker?
[19:07] <Mylon> I hit shift + alt + f12 and now I can't switch windows.
[19:53] <Mylon> Please help.  This is the second time this has happened in 2 days and it's really frustrating.
[19:56] <soee_> ?
[19:57] <genii> soee_: "I hit shift + alt + f12 and now I can't switch windows."
[19:58] <soee_> switch how ?
[20:00] <Mylon> Alt tab does not work.  Clicking on window titles does not work
[20:00] <Mylon> CLicking on taskbar at bottom does not work
[20:00] <soee_> and you can click and interact panel, desktop ?
[20:01] <genii> Is this in a VM?
[20:01] <Mylon> Not a Vm
[20:01] <Mylon> I can launch new windows.
[20:01] <soee_> well obviously something with desktop effects
[20:04] <Mylon> So killall Plasma?
[20:09] <genii> killall plasmashell && plasmashell
[20:38] <Mylon> Last time I tried that the taskbar never came back.
[20:39] <Mylon> alt-space wouldn't work.
[20:48] <Mylon> Welp, that didn't work
[20:49] <Mylon> I ended up restarting
[20:58] <kamil> Hello, I'm trying to install AMD proprietary drivers but I can't get the installer to work. The .run file runs for a few seconds but installer GUI doesn't open. How can I fix it?
[20:59] <kamil> Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ieIWxG1.png
[22:33] <kuudes> it seems I have https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=117704&sid=686f521603529fe20d895a722223d4cc&start=15 but I don't see having unclutter?
[22:34] <kuudes> ie. alt-tab to browser, write input with keyboard, input goes to xchat application that is now in background?

[23:58] <ifohancroft> Hello, everyone. I am a bit confused about the EOL dates of different 14.04 subversions. Does the one currently on site goes EOL in 2016 or in 2019?
