[00:49] valorie: i do lock it. I lock it and lock all the widgets and then it gets unlocked somehow on its own power. [00:50] ooo [00:50] I wonder if you have perhaps messed up permissions somewhere in your ~/ [00:51] valorie: that would be intriguing. Do you think my troubles could result from having installed Kubuntu on a Toshiba laptop without ever changing any EFI settings at all in the BIOS? [00:52] you can easily check, and regain correct permissions by chown -R username /home/username/ [00:52] well [00:52] !efi [00:52] 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 [00:52] the above is more than I know about that [00:53] this would not be bios stuff, but perhaps using sudo in a gui application, or so [00:53] rather than kdesudo [00:53] valorie: also i don't know if this could be related but whenever I start Kubuntu before it gets to the GUI I see a black screen and at the top it says something to the effect of "Master Control Interupt Lied (SDE)! [00:53] hmmm [00:53] have you googled that? [00:54] yes [00:54] sounds like some systemd stuff [00:54] It was a little confusing. It didn't sound like it was vital [00:54] again, I doubt that is connected [00:54] it seemed like it might have to do with the screen or something. [00:54] as long as you get your gui, probably not important [00:55] valorie: another hypothesis -- This laptop has a touch screen (in my opinion that is worthless and i never use it) but I wonder if possibly it gets 'ghost sensations' when im not using it which makes it think that a finger is pushing stuff around and choosing options. [00:55] just try the chown [00:55] it can't hurt [00:55] okay i will. [00:55] sure. [00:55] and if it takes awhile.... you needed it [00:56] oh, put a * at the end [00:56] chown -R username /home/username/* [00:56] that will check the ownership of all files in your home [00:56] of course use your own username [00:57] unless your user is username [00:57] valorie: done. [00:57] hehe yeah my username is em :) [00:57] ok, that was quick [00:57] so probably not needed [00:57] I guess I would advise asking in #plasma then [00:58] I've never seen junk like that appearing [00:59] woops, dinner time === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === sysop is now known as Guest52765 === strayPup1 is now known as strayPuppy === ubuntu is now known as Guest83762 === donald is now known as donald_ [07:07] hi all, in kubuntu 14.04 , wher is the "file size view" in konqueror or dolpin ? I can't seem to find it , is that a separate package ? [07:07] something displaying a graphical chart of file sizes [07:07] similar to windirstat on windoz [07:08] vincent42: sudo apt-get install kdirstat [07:08] thanks [07:09] hmmm I did a pkill dolphin to restart it [07:09] my kde sidebar freezed [07:09] ah it unfreezed :) [07:10] seems killing dolphin was not such a great idea [07:10] I like filelight [07:10] but I don't think it works in dolphin [07:11] it's nifty though [07:11] hmmm, is there a way to restart dolphgin after it's been killed ? [07:12] krunner won't do it? [07:13] krunner=alt+f2 [07:13] it 's very slow [07:13] but it seems to come back after a long time [07:13] one of dolphin window is very slow [07:14] another way to start it is in a konsole, and watch the output [07:14] ok so kdirstat is not visible in dolphin ? [07:14] actually I started it from the console , but it would stay stuck, not even open a window [07:15] control escape might give you more information [07:15] it seems klauncher had some problem [07:15] it got respawned [07:16] anyway seems to be working back now [07:16] hmm, konqueror is also slow to start [07:17] kdeinit4: Shutting down running client.

[07:45] or know when the packes are moved to backports ppa? [07:46] hateball: kdirstat does it display the radial map ? [07:47] what I waslooking for was the view with some rectangles [07:47] with area proportionnal to file size [07:47] I only have a "radial map" view now [07:55] noaXess: I tested it, then removed it === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [07:55] but I didn't purge the packages, because they work well [07:55] okey.. [07:56] but.. how is timeline that they move packages from landing to backports? [07:56] they haven't had time to do that yet, sorry [07:56] got a deadline for xenial the LTS to meet first [08:20] valorie: are you a dev for kubuntu?

[09:15] no [09:15] does anyone know if the current versions of kde/plasma etc in the daily build of 16.04 is what will be in the stable release? i heard there was a freeze in the last couple of days, but not sure if it applies to kde [09:18] afx237: we filed FFE paperwork to get our recent stuff into the archive [09:18] final freeze is friday [09:18] or so [09:18] ah, so it will change then? [09:21] I'm wondering if there is a game based on using linux terminal commands? so I can get familiar with using linux [09:21] I'm not sure how that system works [09:21] oooo, I think there is something in KDE games [09:22] Kardi: here's a challenging one: http://qntm.org/suicide [09:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/337300/are-there-any-games-which-can-train-people-to-learn-terminal-commands mentions whatis [09:23] which sounds cool [09:23] Cool [09:23] Kardi: just in case you don't realise, it wipes all your files if you type anything wrong, fun eh [09:52] Hi Everyone [09:52] jo [09:53] I wonder if anyone can help. I just installed plasma desktop from ubuntu 15.10 and everything is working but the themes dont [09:53] I have default icons and windows decorations [09:54] does anyone know how to fix that? [09:57] any support would be apprecated [09:59] andybrine: how did you install it? [10:00] I installed this repo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ci/stable [10:00] and then run dist-upgrade [10:01] This then installed the whole desktop [10:04] when I update themes, it doesnt change anything [10:07] where did you get instructions to use kubuntu-ci ppa?!? [10:08] you need to remove and purge that PPA and install using "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [10:08] I used this guide: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/install-kde-plasma-plasma-5-4/ [10:08] ok Iwill do that now [10:09] so just using this with no extra repos should be fine? [10:10] have you universe enabled? [10:10] yes, I think so. I will check [10:10] im just purging that repo at the moment [10:11] kubuntu-ci is our continuous integration [10:12] oh ok [10:12] so it can cause problems when upgrading [10:13] well CI is mostly for testing/devel [10:13] I am likely to have conflicts with gnome or unity when installing kubuntu [10:13] you shouldnt do [10:13] thanks, thats good to know [10:13] kubuntu-desktop should pull in the required packages [10:14] you do need to use the sddm login manager for kubuntu [10:14] I think there was an error when I installed it [10:14] is there a command to switch to that [10:14] when I ran it again, there were no errors [10:15] when you install the meta package it should ask you which display manager you want to use [10:16] ok, I will give it another go [10:17] kubuntu-desktop is a meta package which should install all the necessary packages to use KDE on Ubuntu [10:18] I think there was an error somewhere which could have caused my problems [10:18] I cant remember what it was though [10:18] the latest kde looks awesome though [10:19] * clivejo nods [10:20] what did you use before? [10:20] im using gnome shell at the moment [10:20] and love it, but i wanted a change [10:21] not used kde for about 5 years [10:21] Its come on a lot! [10:21] yea, it looks great [10:21] andybrine: do you like testing software? [10:21] I will brb, just going to reboot [10:21] not really [10:21] I need reliability [10:24] right, im back [10:24] how did it go? [10:25] not to install it without the extra repo [10:25] not installed it yet [10:26] So you say I need the universe repo enabled?

[10:57] yea, I purged that one and installed kubuntu [10:58] sounds like you might be still using packages from the kubuntu-ci [10:58] dunno why people write articles about using that! [10:58] yea, its not the best idea [10:59] the repo you just sent me, is that a development one? [10:59] also how do I completely purge the cli repo [11:00] I would use ppa-purge [11:01] ok [11:02] it look like its running ok. Just running the basic themes and icons which im unable to change at the moment [11:03] as im running the update some icons are appering [11:05] I reckon you have some broken packages installed by the kubuntu-ci ppa [11:06] need to purge them and get the working version from the main repo or the backports [11:06] when I purge that ppa is says: Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: kubuntu-ci stable [11:08] you would probably need to add it again, do an apt-get update and then ppa-purge [11:08] ok, I will do that [11:10] andybrine: its not normally so difficult! [11:11] no thats what I thought. Thats why I was wondering if there were conflicts with the install [11:20] I still have lots of missing icons [11:23] becoming a bit of a joke really. It should be simple to install kubuntu [11:23] It is. But messing about PPAs, that's on yourself. [11:25] I have purged the PPA now and removed the files [11:25] of the associated packages [11:31] alrighty [11:31] I think its all working now [11:32] :) [11:32] I think there was a missing package [11:33] probably [11:34] thanks for your help clivejo [11:34] no problem [11:34] hope you get on well with it [11:36] actually icons are still not quite right lol [11:36] I dolphin my folder icons are different [11:37] different, how so? [11:37] some are showing up correctly and others arent [11:38] actually its Documents, Downloads and Music ect that are one icon theme and the other folders are another [11:39] have you tried changing the theme?

[12:14] and i had not a sigle problem with it for a long time [12:17] i hit esc and i see lot of [ok] but its fast so and still ends up loading the GUI. doesn't seem to stay in terminal.

I can esc into terminal but it will always end up switching over to GUI at the end and it hangs. help needed urgently [12:49] BluesKaj: ^ [12:56] lenswipee: I don't know if kubuntu compiles their kernel with interactive support but if they do then hitting i during the boot phase should allow you to choose which services start [12:57] hit 'i'? [12:57] yep [12:57] for interactive [12:57] worth a try [12:58] ill try that now. thanks [12:58] good luck [12:59] chr1s: with usb stick in?

[13:02] lenswipee, yes, that presents adifficulty [13:03] lenswipee, don't use unetbootin , IME it fails 50% of the time, dd the image to your usb stick [13:03] lenswipee: you should be able to edit the bootline even if using unetbootin [13:03] lenswipee: you're trying to install from a usb stick? [13:03] yes from usbstick [13:04] lenswipee: (press tab to edit options) or something it should say on the menu [13:04] on boot i see netbootin menu [13:04] do you have another usb stick ? [13:04] then you won't habe grub to work with will you [13:04] have [13:04] hateball: i think you are on to something with the tab [13:05] when i hit tab i get into terminal [13:05] terminal-like anyway [13:05] what i do there?

What can you see on the screen [13:06] sithlord48: the machine already has ubuntu knome installed on it where i already have set nomodeset but on installing kubuntu over it seems to still hang [13:07] lenswipee: if this install using no modeset doesn't work try remaking your stick using the dd command [13:07] hateball: ill try that now. [13:07] ok sithlord48 [13:07] lenswipee: also im a bit confused can you get to the live desktop/ installer or its hanging before that ? [13:07] lenswipee, unetbootin sucks IMO , use dd to make your iso image bootable [13:07] I fail to see how reimaging the stick would solve problems with a GPU driver... [13:08] ugh, go ahead then [13:08] it's not going to boot with no modeset either [13:08] it's a stick [13:09] i have had no luck w/ unetbootin myself its never worked for me when i have tried it [13:10] sithlord48: i can't get to the live desktop/installer. [13:10] when i hit tab [13:10] ok then try with nomodeset as a boot param if that don't work then remake the stick [13:11] i no longer see text about quiet splash as i already edited grub on existing ubuntu knome i think. i saw it previously to that [13:11] but i typed in nomodeset at the end and hit enter then a whole bunch of text scrolled down [13:11] it then ends with this: [13:12] (initramfs) [13:12] now i can text stuff and that is it [13:12] no more loading [13:13] nomodeset won't make any differnce in booting a usb stick afaik , if I'm wrong some please explain how that can work [13:13] i would remake the stick and check it to be sure [13:13] lenswippe: do you have a login prompt or something or has it produced some error message like a kernel panic? [13:14] check your isos md5 bad downloads do happen and if you still have prolems after remaking check the stick using the check disc entry on the menu [13:15] chr1s: no login prompt as i'm trying to install kubuntu from usb stick. So far it boots to netbootin menu and i select 'start kubuntu' then it hangs on a blue splash screen GUI. if i hit esc before the gui i get a list of text [ok] then it switches to gui and hangs. [13:16] ill check md5 of the iso file tomorrow [13:16] then try again [13:16] failing that ill do the dd thing someone mentioned [13:17] lenswipee: can you get to a console once it hangs? Trying pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 [13:17] maybe it's only X that's stuck [13:17] ill try that now chr1s [13:21] yes that worked [13:21] i'm in console [13:21] chr1s: what can be done here? [13:21] lenswipee: what is your video card? [13:22] cool, so now we can try to work out why your X doesn't start [13:22] can you log in on the console [13:23] log in? [13:23] how to log into something that hasnt completely installed? [13:24] user name is kubuntu iirc [13:25] default for ubuntu is username: ubuntu with no password (just hit enter), maybe the same for kubuntu? [13:25] all i see is kubuntu@kubuntu~ [13:25] so your are loged in [13:25] sounds like you logged in then lenswipee [13:25] what version are you trying to install ? [13:26] the 14.X LTS [13:27] when i do 'ls' i see 'desktop' [13:27] i would be tempted to kill X if it is running and then to startx and see what output comes on the commandline as it starts up (switch back using Ctrl+Alt+F1 again), it should tell you what modules it is loading [13:27] lets first kill the xserver .. im not sure what DM the live is using we will try to stop light dm [13:27] and hopefully give some indication of where it's failing [13:28] use the command sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop [13:28] just kill -9 X :) [13:28] i think kubuntu is also the password if you need it [13:28] or that [13:28] less graceful but it's already broken [13:29] so 'kill -9 x' [13:29] X [13:29] capital X [13:29] ok [13:29] do it again and make sure it gives an error message [13:30] it means you really killed X :) [13:30] it says thisL [13:30] -bash kill X arguments must be present [13:30] something like that [13:31] try killall -9 X [13:31] sorry [13:31] kill is expecting a PID :) [13:32] X no prcoess found [13:32] good [13:32] X is dead :) [13:32] ok no what? :) [13:32] now [13:32] sithlord48, what do you want to do next? I'd try starting X and see where it hangs but maybe you have some other idea? [13:33] startx [13:33] good plan, i like it :) [13:34] Hi everyone ! [13:35] lenswipee: when it hangs switch back to the console again with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and tell us what it says on the console [13:35] it should say something like "i don't wanna do it " but less directly [13:35] I am long time user of kubuntu. After upgrade to 15.04 I must return to 14.04, because I found it unusable ... [13:36] afk for a bit but sithlord has it under control i think :) If you're still stuck when i'm back i'll try to help some more [13:36] lacika: do yo uhave a seperate /home partition? [13:36] 15.04 is no longer supported , lacika [13:36] about 'startx' [13:37] it now loads the desktop GUI [13:37] tada [13:37] you should be able to install now [13:37] yay! [13:37] seems like a live play not an install [13:37] i still desdpise unetbootin :-) [13:37] the question is: Is it possible to install Kubuntu 15.10 with look&feel (icons, transparency ... etc.) the same as on 14.04 ? [13:37] thats fine there should be a install kubuntu icon in the folder widget [13:38] lacika: sorta [13:38] lacika: you can use oxygen widget them and some other stuff but not all [13:38] lacika, as you were asked before , do you have separate / and /home partitions? [13:38] I really hate transparency and strange (for me idiotic new look&feel) [13:39] sure, I have them :) [13:39] im using breeze dark and i have less transparency then i had on plasma4 [13:39] if you ahve a seperate /home you can just instlal 14.04 and don't format your /home [13:39] The best for me is to disable transparency completely 1 [13:40] then just install 15.10 to / using the manual partitioning in ubiquity and set the mountpoint for /home and continue [13:40] lacika,^ [13:40] I do not need "effects" and all thic "modern" stupid bullshit [13:41] you can turn them off [13:41] or better yet just disable the ones you don't like since you generally get better proformance w/ desktop effects on [13:41] ok, i tried it on 15.04, but I was not happy anyway ... [13:41] that breeze theme isn't my cuppa ntea [13:41] where i find the install icon? [13:42] package manager? or get new stuff [13:42] look in the kmenu lenswipee [13:42] i don't care for the flatness [13:42] honestsly [13:42] i.e. I like to have it the same as 14.04, but upgrade let say to comming 16.04 [13:43] depending ont he version of kf5 in 15.10 get new stuff might be broken for somethings [13:43] and plasma5 it will be getting support for following the color scheme of the widgets soon [13:44] BluesKaj: ok [13:46] when i double click on the install icon a smaller icon starts bounching up and down and my usbstick starts to flash for a while then stops. [13:46] :( [13:47] no fun installing kubuntu [13:54] Good morning! [13:54] lenswipee: open a virtual console and launch whatever the icon starts from there and see if there is some useful error message [13:54] congrats on getting a GUI using "magic" :) [13:55] no idea why it runs now [13:55] anyone can help me with the upgrade from kmail 5.02 to 5.1 in kubuntu 5.10? [13:56] :) [13:58] chr1s: virtual console? [13:58] chr1s: i'm a noob [13:58] chr1s: i noticed there is an error regarding needing properity drivers for nvidia [13:59] chr1s: but install icon fails [14:04] lenswipee, most nvidia gpus will run fine with the default nouveau driver, so I still think there's a flaw in the image you have on the usb. [14:04] lenswipee: use the KDE menu and start Terminal [14:05] and [14:05] K > Applications > System Tools > Terminal (Konsole) [14:05] and [14:05] that's not going fix anything if the image is corrupted , that's all I have to say [14:06] what do you get when you do "pwd" [14:06] BluesKaj: i'll keep that in mind [14:06] in the Terminal program [14:08] im starting startx again. bear with me. [14:09] it says /home/kubuntu [14:10] ok if you do "cd Desktop" that should get you to the directory where your desktop resides :) [14:11] i guess that icon you were clicking on before is there somewhere? [14:11] ok [14:12] do you know where the icon is exactly on your file system? [14:13] in desktop [14:13] nope [14:13] ok what do you get if you do "ls" now? [14:13] so you want me to execute install file from terminal basically? [14:13] yep [14:13] i get [14:13] cool [14:13] not such a noob :) [14:14] ubitqytu...desktop [14:14] ok, just run the installer from the command line like you said and see what you get as output on the terminal [14:14] ill have to go back to desktop manager to look around [14:15] ok, let me know when you have something and we'll see what we can do [14:15] lenswipee: what GPU do you have? [14:15] and what distro version? [14:16] as nouveau in 14.04 wont work with nvidia 9xx series, you need to boot nomodeset and then grab a recent driver from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [14:17] ok hateball [14:17] the install file is in desktop [14:18] its called ubuiqity-kdui.desktop [14:19] typing 'ubuiqity-kdui.desktop' in terminal gives command not found [14:19] no idea what nvidia drivers is needed but its a few years old laptop [14:21] lenswipee, is this laptop a hybrid with 2 GPUs. intel and nvidia? AKA Optimus system? [14:21] nah one GPU [14:21] ok [14:21] good [14:21] just nvidia [14:22] so how to execute the install file in terminal [14:22] its called [14:22] 'ubuiqity-kdui.desktop' [14:25] well, you cant [14:25] it requires X [14:25] lenswipee: but is this 14.04 or 15.10 ? [14:26] what is X? [14:26] a GUI [14:26] 14.04 LTS [14:27] the install file is only executable in GUI? [14:27] well then, either you use the minimal install with 14.04 and pull in kubuntu-desktop + nvidia drivers from PPA, or you use 15.10 which works with recent nvidia cards ootb [14:27] you _could_ even go for 16.04 even tho it's not final yet [14:28] problem is i cant even install kubuntu [14:34] lenswipee: and did you try a 15.10 media? === GreenDay is now known as OzBorne [14:35] might have to try the latest kubuntu 15.X perhaps [14:36] n ot 15.X, 15.10...15.04 is no longer supported [14:37] lenswipee,^ [14:37] Does anyone know where you can setup the calendar in the panel in kbuntu? [14:37] I would like to integrate it with my google calendar [14:37] lenswipee: I thought you had X (the GUI) working now after we did "startx"? [14:37] andybrine, click on the time in the panel [14:38] yes [14:38] but when i click install nothing happens [14:38] X works [14:38] to execute the installer just open terminal, cd to the correct location and do "./ubiquity...." (whatever it's called [14:38] yes, im clicking on it but I want to configure it to show my google events [14:38] it shows the calendar but no events in there [14:39] chr1s: tried that [14:39] lenswipee: you just need to put "./" in front of the name of the installer since probably the current directory isn't in your path [14:39] chr1s: it wont execute [14:39] lenswipee: and it didn't work? Does it give you an error message? [14:40] is it all done though korganiser? [14:40] chr1s: something about command not available [14:40] chr1s: i did chmod +x name [14:40] chr1s: ./name [14:41] ok, try doing "sudo su -" [14:42] then cd to the directory and run it again [14:43] chr1s: thanks ill try it tomorrow morning. getting late here. and i've had enough :) [14:43] ok, no worries, if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas anyway [14:43] here im thinking of migrating away from windows to kubuntu as it has "windows feel". [14:44] what a hell of an experience === __Roey is now known as EvilRoey [14:44] lenswipee, put a new image on the stick with dd , then try again [14:44] i've never known it be this hard :) [14:44] chris the image is corrupted imo, that's the problem [14:45] chr1s: just my luck. [14:45] BluesKaj: ill check it tomorrow first thing. [14:45] lenswipee, ok [14:45] Bye guys. Cya tomorrow no doubt. [14:46] Is is possible to integrate the google calendar in kde? [14:46] so it shows the events when you click on the clock [14:48] andybrine, https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=261&t=128934 [14:49] BluesKaj: Thanks, but there was no response to that post === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk [15:00] andybrine, oops sorry...most of the info is out of date on google === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away === DZ is now known as Guest60238 [15:55] l [15:56] NICK DZ [16:08] hi there [16:10] looking for help trying to get advice on how to download remote desktop connection on kubuntu and a vpn [16:11] jim__: what do you mean by download remote desktop connection?

[18:57] wifi and gpu [18:57] wifi is intel dualband wireless AC 3160 [18:58] and video nvidia [18:58] odd that nvidia isn't working , normally the nouveau driver works well enough [18:59] okay [19:00] its not working!! [19:00] even the touchpad [19:01] sandy: What are the symptoms the video drivers not working... just black screen and no video period, or you get graphics but there is some problem with them like tearing [19:01] sandy, have you updated and upgraded? [19:01] updated [19:01] upgrade as well [19:01] First thing to tackle would be wifi, anyhow [19:01] brightness doesn't change [19:02] how to get my wifi problem fixed??

[21:59] ext4 and swap [21:59] ls [21:59] woops forget the ls [22:02] vorteks: Do the partiton types and filesystems which are on those partitions line up? For example, you can have a partition which is type 7 ( NTFS) but actually was formatted ext4 [22:02] The installer looks at the partition type to try and decide what filesystem is on that partition [22:02] ( same as the automounter does) [22:04] hrm [22:05] yeah they do [22:05] er what do you mean? [22:11] okk ill looks at partition types [22:11] all i know is the installer cd didn't do this to me last week on this computer === pedro is now known as Guest5754 === struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away
