[00:14] <valorie> DarinMiller: can I copy the above links and instructions in a blog post, crediting you?
[00:14]  * valorie blogs as the linux grandma
[00:17] <valorie> unless you blog, and your should -- in which case, you should be on the planets!
[00:23] <DarinMiller> Valorie: Sure, anytime.
[00:24] <valorie> excellent
[00:27] <valorie> DarinMiller: any particular reason you asked them to install gksu?
[00:27] <valorie> kdesudo works and is standard install
[00:28] <DarinMiller> :) I used GNome and those were notes from my old days.  I need to update my notes. Thanks!
[00:28] <valorie> heh
[00:29] <valorie> so python-glade2 is still needed?
[00:30] <DarinMiller> Uhhh, maybe some more stale notes... I will have to verify on a fresh install... possibly needed for GUI.....
[00:32] <valorie> I'll leave it in
[00:32] <valorie> !info python-glade2
[00:32] <valorie> hmmm
[00:42] <valorie> http://www.unixmen.com/howto-install-and-configure-samba-share-in-ubuntu/ works, btw
[00:42] <valorie> a bit old
[01:18] <DarinMiller> Updated my SMB notes so less likey to give marginal advice in the future.  Thanks for the feedback. :)
[07:55] <eeos> hi everybody, I have deleted a folder from an ext4 artition by mistake. Unfortunately I cannot unmount the directory.
[08:01] <eeos> Cannot use ext4undelete .... any other solution you know of?
[08:01] <hateball> !undelete
[08:24] <knro> What version of KDE Frameworks 5 will be available in 16.04?
[08:24] <knro> I see 5.15 in Xenial repos, but isn't that a bit old?
[08:26] <valorie> we've got some slow uploading happening
[08:28] <knro> valorie: you know what the plan is? KF5 5.19?
[08:28] <valorie> FW 5.18 is what we have in landing
[08:28] <acheron88> 5.18 if the packages in the landing/staging ppas make it in I think?
[08:28] <valorie> yes, if the FFEs got filed
[08:30] <valorie> if not, hopefully that will happen later today
[08:30] <acheron88> as LTS I assume it will keep going with a few stable upgrades anyway, no matter what is there on release
[08:31] <valorie> right
[08:31] <valorie> only well-tested stuff
[08:31] <valorie> which is why we'll miss the newest Qt
[08:31] <acheron88> yes
[08:49] <eeos> hateball: thanks!
[12:25] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:53] <hazamonzo> Howdy BluesKaj
[12:53] <BluesKaj> Hey hazamonzo
[12:55] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: So check this. Kubuntu has been working pretty well so far but just recently... its happened twicw.. but the UI has frozen
[12:55] <hazamonzo> Not the mouse or the OS as such
[12:55] <hazamonzo> just the ability to click anything
[12:55] <hazamonzo> I thought i could drop out into a terminal (ctrl+alt+F1)
[12:55] <hazamonzo> then try restarting plasma or something
[12:56] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo, can you moce the mouse or see the cursor move?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> move
[12:56] <hazamonzo> yeah i can
[12:56] <hazamonzo> its like trying to click a photo of your desktop
[12:56] <hazamonzo> calt alt-tab windows either
[12:56] <hazamonzo> *can't
[12:57] <BluesKaj> 15.10?
[12:57] <lordievader> hazamonzo: Can you still activate krunner?
[12:57] <lordievader> When that happens.
[13:00] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: lordievader krunner....
[13:00] <hazamonzo> Im not sure what that is!
[13:00] <hazamonzo> 2 secs
[13:01] <hazamonzo> ahh, the little terminal at the top of the desktop?
[13:01] <hazamonzo> I've pulled that up by accident many times before but im not sure if it works during the freeze
[13:01] <hazamonzo> whats the shortcuy keys for that so i can test next time it happens?
[13:01] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: 15.10 yeah
[13:02] <hateball> hazamonzo: alt+space by default
[13:02] <hazamonzo> hateball: Good to know! Cheers
[13:02] <hateball> hazamonzo: it may be useful binding ctrl+alt+T to launch Konsole :)
[13:03] <lordievader> hazamonzo: If so, you could issue 'kquitapp plasmashell && kstart plasmashell' there, it might fix things.
[13:03] <hazamonzo> i usually drop out to a terminal using ctrl+alt+F1 to F6
[13:04] <hazamonzo> lordievader: Okay. Im going to take a noteof that for the next time it happens
[13:04] <hazamonzo> I was looking for something like this to simply restart my desktop
[13:04] <hazamonzo> or desktop UI
[13:05] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo, yakuake is a good alternative
[13:06]  * hazamonzo googles
[13:07] <BluesKaj> to the terminal. that is
[13:08] <soul_> Yakuake is <3
[13:09] <BluesKaj> soul_, to me that indictes it's less than 3
[13:11] <soul_> hahaha, very good one BluesKaj!
[13:12] <BluesKaj> if you were trying to show some kind of image there, it's beyond my understand ..I don't use text images except for smileys
[13:13] <BluesKaj> understanding rather
[13:13] <hazamonzo> o7
[13:13] <soul_> <3 → means a heart x)
[13:14] <BluesKaj> ok
[13:14] <hazamonzo> yakuake seems pretty nice
[13:14] <BluesKaj> doesn't look like that to me ;-)
[13:15] <BluesKaj> yakuake is great, been using it for many yrs, F12 and it's there
[13:16] <soul_> I use the "Pause" key on my laptop keyboad
[13:16] <soul_> since I don't use it at all
[13:44] <GreenDay> hello
[13:44] <GreenDay> does deezer rocks under kubuntu?
[13:44] <Frank__> Help with printer drivers
[13:45] <chaithanya> Hello, I  installed Kubuntu 15.10 in  Lenovo G50-70, I'm unable to connect to the wireless networks. Can anyone please guide me through this?
[13:45] <Frank__> I have Kubuntu 14.04 and have just purchased a canon MF216n printer and cannot find any drivers for it and the system will not recognize it as being there.
[13:45] <hateball> GreenDay: Do you mean if you can use Deezer in Kubuntu? It seems to be some web based thing, so probably
[13:46] <hateball> chaithanya: what chipset is the wifi? "lspci |grep Net" will show
[13:46] <BluesKaj> GreenDay, deezer is a Unity web app, not KDE/Plasma
[13:46] <hateball> You can probably just use the website tho
[13:48] <BluesKaj> doh!
[13:49] <hateball> oh they left
[13:49] <hateball> Looking at https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/black-and-white-laser/mf216n it seems to have a linux driver at least. the autodetect of OS fails tho
[13:52] <chaithanya> hateball: 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
[13:53] <hateball> chaithanya: Open the driver manager and add the restricted firmware for it
[13:54] <hateball> alternatively, "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source", let it work its magic and reboot
[14:03] <chaithanya> hateball: I ran the command, now reeboting
[14:04] <hateball> Let's hope for the best then!
[14:08] <chaithanya> hateball: It worked! Thanks a ton :)
[14:08] <hateball> chaithanya: :)

[17:00] <Jeeten> i am trying to install Ampps Web developing app but when i run
[17:01] <BluesKaj> Jeeten, suggest you leave the default qtlibs alone and do the normal upgrades for your system
[17:01] <Jeeten> Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40806) with this library (version 0x40805)
[17:01] <Jeeten> i have error
[17:02] <Jeeten> Blueskaj, i have error Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40806) with this library (version 0x40805)
[17:02] <BluesKaj> Jeeten, if you're fooling around with Qt libs you'd beter know what you;'re doing
[17:05] <Jeeten> Blueskaj , i want to install {http://www.ampps.com/} app on my Kubuntu and i don't know about qt libs ! This app making on QT.
[17:06] <BluesKaj> Jeeten, no idea, sorry , not a web dev'

[17:08] <agile_prg> hi all, I just loaded kubuntu, is there a way to add a bottom task bar?
[17:09] <agile_prg> oh wait I see it

[17:29] <BluesKaj> soul_, have you checked phonon as rattking suggested and your pulseaudio output settings as well as thevolume ctrls for the appropriate outputs in alsamixer
[17:37] <agile_prg> how do I add a desktop shortcut?
[17:38] <BluesKaj> agile_prg, do you mean icons to the desktop?
[17:38] <agile_prg> ya
[17:39] <BluesKaj> just drag them out of the kmenu
[17:39] <agile_prg> what if they are not in the kmenu?
[17:40] <BluesKaj> if they aren't in th ekmenu then they are most likely not installed. Which app are you referring to?
[17:40] <agile_prg> qtcreator
[17:42] <soul_> rattking: BluesKaj... This is what I have: http://imgur.com/a/l6PP5

[17:48] <BluesKaj> soul_, plug you 'phones into the lineout on your soundcard
[17:52] <agile_prg> BluesKaj is there no graphical way to make a desktop shortcut?
[17:53] <BluesKaj> agile_prg, dunno
[17:58] <agile_prg> Is there a trash can I can add to the kubuntu desktop?
[18:00] <BluesKaj> agile_prg, yes right click on the desktop , add widgets type trash in the search
[18:00] <soul_> The screenshots are taken with the earphones connected, BluesKaj
[18:00] <agile_prg> can I add a top panel with apps to launch from it?
[18:02] <BluesKaj> you can use a launcher in widgets
[18:02] <agile_prg> oh ok
[18:02] <BluesKaj> agile_prg, recommend you reads about the kde/plasma desktop and what it can do for you
[18:05] <BluesKaj> agile_prg, https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/811704-how-to-use-kde-plasma-desktop-like-a-pro
[18:10] <agile_prg> I added an empty panel but it is to the left, I want it to be located on the bottom
[18:10] <agile_prg> can't figure out how to move it down there ;<
[18:12] <agile_prg> figured it out nm
[18:20] <BluesKaj> soul_, open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your headphones and line/out controls are turned up
[18:27] <Guest83036> Hi , is still possible on KDE 5 to have different background for different desktop ?
[18:28] <marco-parillo> Plasma 5 can support different backgrounds for different activities.
[18:30] <BluesKaj> the virtual desktops separate wallpapers are no longer supported in plsama 5, you have to set them in activities, Guest83036
[18:33] <Guest83036> BluesKaj:  why ?, I mean are two different things
[18:35] <Guest83036> so I can still use until 20 desktop but with the same background, maybe isn't so usefull, at least to me
[18:36] <BluesKaj> yes they are and I was upset about it, but separtate wallpapers are no longer supported in plasma 5 , ...I have 8 differnt actitvities setup with different wallpapers , works ok.
[18:38] <Guest83036> yeah but you can't switch between activities as easy as you can between desktop, I'm wrong ?
[18:43] <Guest83036> I'm testing kde5 and it seems stable and nice but for what I can see there are few usefull things still missing, like for example the plasmoid for the application menu on the top bar, different backgrounds for different desktop and so on .....
[18:46] <marco-parillo> Maybe you could re-assign the default key to switch activities in System Settings > Short Cuts > Global Keyboard Shortcuts > Walk through Activities
[18:49] <Guest83036> well I just non need to use activities, why should I do it ?, When I think about something new I alays think about new possibilities and for me is absurde remove nice features on new version of software
[18:52] <Guest83036> I use Kubuntu since 9.04 and I never used activities and in my opinion they are completelly useless, but I never thought should be removed :D
[18:53] <Tux_> Everytime i download Kubuntu 15.10 it gets to the last sec then download fails ?
[18:55] <BluesKaj> Guest83036, you can assign apps to each actitvity then place the app icons in quicklaunch in th epanel and the actitviies will switch to the background/app that you choose
[18:57] <Guest83036> doing it by the scroll wheel sounds much better to me, anyway .....
[18:59] <BluesKaj> well Guest83036 , that's your call , do what you want , I was merely suggesting
[19:01] <KNRO_> Guest83036: I, on the other hand, use Activities all the time. One "General" activity, another for Gaming stuff, another for development, and another for my observatory stuff
[19:02] <Guest83036> of course BluesKaj and I appreciate your suggestion, but I don't like to be force to change my way to work because someone decide to remove some features
[19:04] <Guest83036> I mean, which one of the features I'm currently using daily will be removed next ?, should I trust it or drop it since now ?
[19:06] <BluesKaj> Guest83036, that's why I nstill have 14.04 with kde4 on my pc as my fallback OS :-)
[19:07] <Guest83036> me ti BluesKaj, but the new kernel on latest version of kubuntu has a much greater support for new hardware and you cannot use kde 4 on Kubuntu 16.04 I guess ....
[19:09] <BluesKaj> Guest83036, no kde4 for 16.04 I'm afraid :/
[19:09] <BluesKaj> or for 15.10
[19:10] <Guest83036> so If I buy a new model I'm forced to use the less complete kde5 instead of kde 4
[19:10] <Guest83036> shouldn't happen !!
[19:12] <BluesKaj> technically there is no kde5, it's now known as kde/plasma5
[19:13] <Guest83036> yeah , that one :D
[19:13] <BluesKaj> don't ask me why ;-)

Usually when I restart it, either to turn it back on or after it suspended for some reason from inactivity, when i restart it, I find that all the icons and pannel has been rearranged, stuff added, stuff randomly put here and there and made bizzare. Look at what my desktop looked like when I turned it on: http://i.imgur.com/LniX8cB.jpg
[22:39] <em> look how its random stuff all over the place
[22:39] <em> look at the madness of the lower pannel.
