lloyd__hello.  is there a way to reinstall KDE in Kubuntu 15.10?01:29

DarinMillerlloyd__, you can reassign the short cut key in the system settings.01:37
DarinMillerto re-install kde, you could try sudo apt-get --reinstall install kde-plasma-desktop01:39

valoriekwin is the windowing part of plasma02:09
valorieit does not replace systemsettings in 16.04 or anywhere else, just to set the record straight02:10
DarinMillerThe drop down name sometimes toggles between kwin and system settings for some reason.  Seems to happen during the alpha/beta stages.  Never pinned it down.02:12

lapionhello08:14
lapionsince My upgrade to vivid many applications in the menu have no icons any more, since the upgrade to wily even firefox has no icon anymore08:15
valorielapion: that is now solved in more recent versions08:16
valorievivid is end-of-life now08:17
valorie!eol08:17
ubottuEnd-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/EOLUpgrades08:17
lapionvalorie, I upgraded yesterday and there are no updates08:19
lapionvalorie, I upgrade to wily08:19
valorieok08:21
lapionvalorie, still many icons missing08:21
valorieprobably worthwhile to at least add backports08:21
valoriehttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-3/08:22
lapionvalorie, "..more, since the upgrade to wily even firefox has no icon anymore"08:29
lapionvalorie, I did two upgrades in a row. first to vivid then to wily08:32
valoriewow, that's a lot of work08:33
valorieand that's a move from plasma 4 to plasma 508:34
lapionvalorie, to upgrade to wily I had to purge tex from the system because, and at a certain moment the kde-frontend to do-release upgrade froze because it could handle a dialog question when updating one of the cinnamon packages. So I had to use do-release-upgrade with the generic gui.08:36
lapionvalorie, I make backups so I ended up upgrading the system more than six times08:38
valorieright, I always use commandline for such things08:38
valorieespecially with such a huge upgrade08:38
valoriethere are cinnamon packages in the archive?08:39
lapionvalorie, upgrading from safe mode doesn't allways work correctly08:40
valorieI don't know, I've never tried that before08:41
valoriefrom the terminal is safest IMO08:41
lapionyou mean upgrading without gui in a terminal08:41
valorieyes08:42
lapionI'd rather have a pop-up asking question so my attention is drawn to the system if there is a question and I do not need to constantly check the system for questions08:43
lapionmany of my previous upgrades got borked because screen lock got invoked and the password could not be ascertained by the system any more and I had to redo08:45
lapionupgrades do not automatically disable screen-saving-locking etc etc08:46
valoriecertainly it is a good idea to turn off lockscreens before beginning08:48
valorieas well as removing any PPAs08:48
lapionvalorie, I prefer upgrading from safe-mode and have done many a upgrade in safe mode with a sandbox mode to have all files downloaded for the actual upgrade afterwards08:48
valorieand ensuring that you are fully updated and upgraded08:48
valorieok08:48
lapionvalorie, but I still have the missing icons.08:49
valorieI used to have them too08:49
valoriethen I added backports08:49
valoriethat's all I'm telling you08:49
lapionDo you mean backports from ppa's or backports in the default repository ?08:52
valoriehttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-3/08:54
lapionyeah..there is was staring me in the face on my primary ( laptop display) irc is on my secondary display ;-)08:56

rockyroad1lordievader: I just tried again from ssh: it turned off the screen, then, on wake up, it came back to the same console screen and the ssh session  came back to life14:00
lordievaderAh, it could very well be that the graphics driver is crashing.14:02
rockyroad1from syslog : ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3 ... PM: resume of devices complete after 620.164 msecs14:03
rockyroad1does it mean the xserver would be the culprit ?14:04

lordievaderrockyroad1: What graphics card are you using? And what driver?14:05
rockyroad1geforce 940m with proprietary driver.14:07
lordievaderBy any chance a hybrid system?14:08
rockyroad1yep with bumblebee I think14:10
BluesKajyou should be using nvidia-prime with that driver \14:11

lordievaderWan't bumblebee the one for nouveau?14:26
lordievaderThat could very well explain the troubles, if I am right, that is.14:26
BluesKajIt disables the discrete graphics card if no client is detected, and start an X server making use of NVIDIA card if requested then let software GL implementations (such as VirtualGL) copy frames to the visible display that runs on the intergrated graphics. The ability to use discrete graphics depends on the driver: open source nouveau and proprietary nvidia.14:33

DarinMillerAbe_ Are you just trying to disable desktop search?16:27
Abe_No Kubuntu is behaving weird the last couple of days. when the pc is idle it just uses 30-50% of my cpu for no reason.16:28
Abe_as soon as I am moving the mouse it goes back to 0. the baloo file extractor pops up in system activity. so I have this process under suspicion16:30
DarinMillerDoes the system monitor indicate baloo_file is the offending process?16:30
DarinMillerI would try setting Indexing-Enabled=false, logging out/in and see if the problem goes away.16:32
Abe_No this is the process that keeps appearing and going away. which is annoying so i'm trying to turn this process off. I really do not know if this is the cause for my cpu usage when idle16:32
Abe_like i said I don't find and indexing-enabled in this file :/16:34

BluesKajAbe_, what about akonadi server , do you kamil and other PIM apps16:34

BluesKajAbe_, ok16:35
BluesKajAbe_, system monitor/ksysguard is a good app for checking processes16:36
Abe_ok I am looking at that right now. the funny thing is. If my cpu goes up to 30-50% it does not show which process is using it. It immediatly goes back to 0 jumps back to 50 then 0 again.16:40
Abe_wasn't like that a couple days ago. using this pc with kubuntu for over a year now never had any problems :/ I recently installed steam but the process is not running so that can't be it16:42
rockyroadBluesKaj: I'm back, tried uncessfully to find how to disable the integrated intel graphics. would you have a hint ?16:42
rockyroadno such option in the bios, nvidia-prime installed16:42
Abe_could be like that since the last update i've made16:44
BluesKajrockyroad, no default gpu option in the BIOS? that's odd.16:44
Robert__hello guys I install Ubuntu 15.10 what shouyld I do to have KDE16:48
DarinMillerBluesKaj I have a hybrid skylake laptop from Dell that lacks default gpu in bios.  Its been quite a challenge to configure it as it requires the latest kernels, Nvidia and intel drivers.16:48
rockyroadIn the Aptio BIOS I have, there's a "Graphics Configuration" section, but the only thing in it is about the amount of preallocated memory ...16:48
BluesKajRobert__, install kubuntu-desktop16:49
Robert__where could I find kubuntu desktop ?\16:49
BluesKajDarinMiller, have you figured it out ? If so maybe you help rockyroad, I'm stumped16:50
BluesKajyou could help16:50
Robert__BluesKaj- thanks I'm the first day on linux :)16:51
DarinMillerBluesKaj, I am running 16.04 on it with landing PPA.  xrandr does not work as the intel video driver has yet to support 16.04. But NVida side is working fine.16:52
DarinMillerRobert__ could you repeat the issue(s), I missed the original problem statement.16:53
BluesKajRobert__, open a terminal/console, then at the prompt type or copy and paste this, sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop16:54
BluesKajthen at the login page you'll be able to choose between unity and kde/plasma desktops16:56
DarinMillerrockyroad could you repeat the issue(s), I missed the original problem statement16:57
rockyroadHi DarinMiller, ty. The issue was that the computer is not waking up properly from suspend to ram17:01
DarinMillerrockyroad what make/model of laptop?  My skylake laptop has similar issues, but improved dramatically with the 4.4 kernel.  What version of Kubuntu?17:03
rockyroadI dont have the refs on this laptop, of the 2 pastebin I made earlier (dmesg) are you able to find them in the logs ?17:04
rockyroadIt turned out that the problem could well be related to hybrid graphics17:04
rockyroadI have nvidia-prime installed17:05

rockyroadcan I disable it from the kubuntu session ?17:06

DarinMillerlogs finally updated,  just a sec...17:07
DarinMillerby chance did you try sudo prime-select nvidia ?17:10
BluesKajDarinMiller, my laptop uses the i915 driver for the intel gpu and I'm running 16.04 there as well and xrender is an option, but I'm using OpenGL3.117:11
Abe_Ok I just removed a hole bunch of crap, emptied my trash and removed unwanted programs, the problem seems to be gone now after a restart thank god17:12
DarinMillerAbe_ was this the popup window on the wrong monitor problem?17:12
Abe_DarinMiller: do what? sorry did not understand17:13
Abe_Now my cpu ist pending between 0-2% like it was before17:14
DarinMillerAbe_ I was curious which problem you solved.17:15
BluesKajAbe_, it's a good practice to run autoremove and autoclean periodically, like once per week17:17
Abe_No I was the guy asking for that baloo thingy17:17
Abe_BluesKaj: I do that like after every update17:18
BluesKajAbe_, so what "junk" did you remove ? :-)17:18

rockyroadI think it would be safer for me to uninstall those experimental driver. Is there any precautions about doing it ?18:25
rockyroadDarinMiller: ^18:26
DarinMillerthe nvidia or intel driver?18:26
rockyroadboth I think. I need a system as stable as possible18:26
DarinMillerto go back to nvidia 352, sudo apt install nvidia-352.  I would expect the recent intel drivers to work as good or better than the default ones.18:27
rockyroadI cannot keep experiemental thing that don't fix anything. It is not my box18:27
DarinMillerLOL, oh I see :)18:28
DarinMillerI would stick with the 352 drivers for now and the drivers installed by the intel 1.4 installer.  When 16.04 comes around, I would use the latest recommended drivers for that release.18:29
DarinMillernvidia^18:30
rockyroadyep I'lll do that. .. but while we were talking "top" shows that the cpu eased down18:30
rockyroadany interesting exploration you think of before I downgrade ?18:31
rockyroadthere are still those "migration/0" "migration/1" processed I wonder what they are18:32
DarinMillerno, now with the install reporting missing firmware.  Additional firmware can be installed, but that is another rabit hole that I would not recommend on someone else PC.18:32
DarinMillernow = not18:32
rockyroadok18:33
DarinMiller16.04 should include a new firmware set and newer nvidia drivers may be possible on that release.18:34
rockyroadinstall nvidia-352 raises conflicts ...nvidia-persistenced xorg-driver-binary18:38
DarinMillertry sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, reboot, then install 35218:40
omeniusmy Xorg daemon/software/whatever is taking 40% of my CPU power when I have taskbar18:52
omeniusI had to remove it. It was not like this before18:53
omeniusalso the right side of the bar is bugging, an arrow icon is moving from left to right and back18:54
omeniusboot fixed the problem18:58

andybrineHi Everyone23:01
andybrineIm having problems installing and setting up Samba23:01
andybrinecan anyone here provide any assistance?23:01
DarinMillerHi andybrine23:11
DarinMillerStill need samba assistance?23:11
andybrineYes please23:11
DarinMillerThis website has a good samba overview: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba23:12
andybrineI have gone through soo many tutorials but cant seem to see my workgroup23:12
DarinMillerBasically you need the following: sudo apt-get install samba samba-common system-config-samba python-glade2 gksu23:12
andybrineI have it installed, I just cant seem to get it working23:13
andybrineI have created shared folders and setup smdb.conf23:14
DarinMillerAdd a smb group:  sudo addgroup smb23:14
DarinMillerAdd yourself to the group: sudo adduser $USER smb23:14
andybrineok I have done that23:15
DarinMilleradd yourself as a samba user: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER23:15
DarinMillerEnable the user:  sudo smbpasswd -e $USER23:16
DarinMillerFor the next part, either use the GUI: sudo system-config-samba23:17
DarinMillerOr, manually edit the smb.conf file: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf23:17
DarinMillerchange: Change: workgroup = workgroup to workgroup = <your network group name>23:17
andybrinethanks23:18
DarinMillerAlso, change the resolve order as follows:23:18
DarinMillername resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins23:18
andybrinedo I have to change the network group name?23:18
DarinMillerOrder is very important!23:19
DarinMillerNo, you can leave it as work group.23:19
andybrinedo I have to add that to the config?23:19
DarinMillerAlso,  ensure the "name resolve order" is under the [global] section23:19
andybrineok, let me check my smb.conf23:20
DarinMillerYes, typically "name resolve order" must be manually added to the file.23:20
DarinMillerto enable anonymous access to windows machines: remove the ";" (semi-colon) from beginning of line "security = user"23:21
DarinMillerand below the "security = user" line add a new line:23:21
DarinMillermap to guest = Bad User23:21
DarinMillerSpecific Folder share example (add at the end of the file):23:22
DarinMilleri.e. [Downloads]23:22
DarinMillerpath = /home/<your user name>/Downloads23:22
DarinMillercomment = "Some comment"23:23
andybrinecan I pastebin my config file?23:23
DarinMillerwriteable = yes23:23
DarinMillervalid users = name1, name2, ....23:23
DarinMillerbrowseable = yes23:23
DarinMilleryes23:23
DarinMilleryes, paste away.23:23
DarinMillerWhen the you finish editing the smb.conf file, restart samba: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart23:24
andybrinehttp://pastebin.com/09Z8LiD823:24
andybrinei feel like such a noob23:25
DarinMillerI feel like a noob every time I fight samba.  I always forget something....23:25
andybrinelol, its such a challenge23:25
andybrinedoes my smb.conf look right?23:26
DarinMillerEnsure to add: name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins23:26
DarinMillerin the [global] section...23:26
DarinMillerAre you sure you want to share your entire home directory?23:27
andybrineat the moment yes, lol23:28
andybrineonce its working I will change the folder23:28
DarinMillerAnd, do you have a /samba/anonymous directory on your box (that's not a default folder)23:28
andybrineyea, I created that folder23:28
DarinMillerChecklist: ok, so you added the smb user group and your username to the group.23:31
andybrineIll add that now23:31
DarinMillerAdded and enabled your username to the samba group using smbpasswd?23:32
andybrinedont think I have done that23:32
andybrinehow do I do that?23:33
DarinMillersudo smbpasswd -a <username>23:33
DarinMillersudo smbpasswd -e <username>23:33
andybrineyes, I think I did that with your commands earlier23:33
DarinMillerOk, restart samba? sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart23:33
andybrineok all is restarted23:34
andybrineshould I be able to see that now as a workgroup?23:35
kguest12does kubuntu 14.04 keep uptoday with the latest KDE? or is its KDE frozen to whatever was around at the release of 14.04?23:35
DarinMilleryes, navigate with dolphin or a file manager on another PC.23:36
andybrineYOU ARE A LEGEND!!!23:36
andybrineFirst time I have been able to see my shared files!23:36
andybrineThanks! Its much appreciated!23:36
andybrineCan you recomend a good tutorial for the future?23:38
DarinMillerExcellent! Glad I can help.  If you run into write issues, try modifying the file permissions on the specific directory with either dolphin or the chmod command23:38
DarinMillerThe one I gave you at the beginng was a good one no?  A couple others: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=294123:39

DarinMillerMy personal notes I keep here for a community Ed class I occasionally teach: https://sites.google.com/site/bcelinux/classroom-news/basicsambaconfigurationfilesharingincludingwindowspcs23:40
andybrineOk awesome thanks23:40
andybrineI will save all these links for the future23:41
DarinMillerkguest12: if you use the backports PPA, 14.04 stays fairly up to date on the KDE side.23:41
DarinMillerandybrine: Glad I could help23:41
DarinMillerThe kernel is not updated, so if you have a skylake PC that needs newer kernerl or firmware revs, those will have to updated manually.23:42
DarinMillerkguest12^23:43
andybrine:)23:43
DarinMillerkguest12: 2 more months and 16.04 will be out the door with most of the latest and greates.23:43
