| Mylon | Argh, Plasma keeps having all of these weird bugs and it's driving me crazy. | 01:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Mylon | Right now some dialogs/windows just show up as a black box. | 01:29 |
| Mylon | And I haven't quite figured out how to restart it safely. Killing it makes launching anything damn near impossible. | 01:30 |
| Fritigern | Mylon: hit CTRL+Space (CTRL+F2 before Plama5) to bring up KRunner and enter "killall -s HUP plasmashell && plasmashell --shut-up" to restart plasma | 02:39 |
| Mylon | So before I do this, can you explain to me what these commands do? I've tried "killall plasmashell && plasmashell" in the past but then I can't switch tasks and alt-space pretends to work but doesn't actually launch anything. | 02:40 |
| Mylon | Basically forcing me to restart. | 02:41 |
| Mylon | Fritigern? | 02:50 |
| Fritigern | killall -s HUP causes a more or less clean abort of the plasmashell process, and plasmashell --shut-up is how plasmashell is begin run by the system in the first place. | 02:52 |
| Fritigern | I use this all the time, well, when I need to. And I promise you that it works. | 02:52 |
| Mylon | Alright. | 02:53 |
| Mylon | Hmm, that sorta worked. Firefox still doesn't redraw anything unless I alt-tab out and back in. | 02:55 |
| Fritigern | When I first switched to Plasma5, plasma would often refuse to load after it would crash, but this usually did help with that : killall -s KILL plasmashell && rm -f ~/.cache/ksycoca5 && kbuildsycoca5 && plasmashell --shut-up | 02:55 |
| Fritigern | Do make sure you have the most recent drivers ofr your graphics card | 02:55 |
| Mylon | I wonder if AMD makes an auto-detect app for Linux... | 02:56 |
| Mylon | I'm on a 5 year old laptop. | 02:56 |
| Fritigern | If using an Nvidia or AMD card, you may get better results with the non-free drivers | 02:56 |
| Fritigern | 5 year old? Then whatever AMD card is in there, it will probably no longer be supported by them | 02:56 |
| Mylon | Or maybe I need a different GUI than KDE/plasma. | 03:01 |
| Mylon | And now Pidgin can turn black and not display anything until I restart that. :/ | 03:04 |
| Fritigern | Sounds like your issue is mostly with GTK apps | 03:04 |
| Fritigern | Have a look at your GTK themes and see if they need to be reinstalled | 03:05 |
| Mylon | This is a nearly fresh install I did like a month ago. Someone here recommended I update to a newer version of Plasma but beyond that I haven't really done much to core systems. | 03:06 |

| AciD` | I used ctrl+alt+L to lock my session | 03:43 |
| AciD` | a white screen is now shown | 03:44 |
| AciD` | what to do? :/ | 03:44 |
| rapte | hmm | 03:44 |
| rapte | i think your session locker might've got broken or something | 03:45 |
| rapte | just to go console (ctrl+alt+f1) and run systemctl restart lightdm | 03:45 |
| rapte | (i assume you are telling this from another computer) | 03:45 |
| AciD` | additionnaly, ctrl+alt+F[1-6] just goes to a black screen, then the screen goes in standby mode :/ | 03:45 |
| AciD` | yes I am | 03:45 |
| AciD` | let's ssh to it then.. | 03:46 |
| AciD` | well, no luck | 03:47 |
| AciD` | hm | 03:48 |
| AciD` | perhaps it's because I switched from fglrx to the opensource driver | 03:48 |
| AciD` | I rebooted | 03:48 |

| jack_ | How would I be able to upgrade kde 4 to kde5? | 04:58 |
| valorie | jack_: I have done it, but it is not simple | 05:16 |
| valorie | much easier to make a fresh install | 05:16 |
| valorie | what version of Kubuntu are you running now? | 05:17 |
| muessigb | AciD`: but how shall i do that during the installation | 06:14 |
| muessigb | the installer does not allow me to do anything | 06:14 |
| muessigb | i can't just open a command line and solve the conflict | 06:14 |
| AciD` | cool | 06:45 |
| AciD` | switching from kde4 to kde5 means losing most of your settings, at least all the one for configuring the desktop.. | 06:46 |
| AciD` | way to go martin. | 06:46 |
| AciD` | </rant> | 06:46 |
| hateball | AciD`: You could go in #kde and speak to mgraesslin if you like | 06:49 |
| hateball | Ranting about someone giving you software for free where they are not around to read seems pretty rude | 06:50 |
| AciD` | done | 06:51 |
| AciD` | side question : in kde5, when you set 'windows can cover the panel'...they do cover the panel, but hovering the mouse on the edge does not make the panel appear again. Is there a known fix for this bug? | 06:52 |

| Muessigb | Is there a way to manually deselect packages on install | 08:26 |
| Muessigb | Or any debug mode? | 08:26 |
| Muessigb | In the latest 15.10 installer | 08:27 |
| Muessigb | There is a package conflict that keeps crashing the installer all the time | 08:27 |
| Muessigb | with the locales | 08:27 |
| Muessigb | I have set a German locale, checked non free packages and set German as a language | 08:28 |
| Muessigb | I unchecked the download updates while installing option | 08:29 |
| Muessigb | The notebook is a quad core amd64 based system with uefi | 08:29 |
| Muessigb | The installer is so simplified that it seems impossible to resolve such issues | 08:31 |
| Muessigb | Did anybody encounter something similar? | 08:34 |
| Muessigb | Oh well | 08:34 |
| Muessigb | I might come back later | 08:35 |
| Muessigb | The screen lied - help doesn't wirk | 08:35 |
| franky | had a problem in the installer in ubuntu 14 too | 08:36 |
| franky | is there any distribution similiar to parted magic | 08:52 |
| valorie | franky: parted magic? | 09:07 |
| hateball | franky: ##linux probably knows more. depending on which tools you need you can look at sysrescuecd | 09:09 |

| Mylon | If I wanted to switch to another GUI, what would be the easiest way to do so? Can I just install the package and edit startup, or should I backup my home directory and reinstall Linux? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | Mylon,, another desktop? | 15:47 |
| Mylon | Yeah. Like gnome or... I don't know really. | 15:47 |
| EvilRoey | we're sorry Mario, but our princess is in another desktop! | 15:47 |
| EvilRoey | o/ all | 15:48 |
| Mylon | KDE is not playing nicely with my computer. | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | just run sudo apt install gnome-desktop, for exaple , for unity it's ubuntu-desktop, for xfce I think it's xubuntu-desktop etc etc, then just choose the DE/gui at the login page dropdown after booting | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | Mylon, what issues are you having with kde? | 15:52 |
| Mylon | At the moment most tooltips/notifications/dropdown menus show as black windows. But I've had other cases where alt-tabbing makes windows flash rapidly. | 15:53 |
| Mylon | I forget my other gripes at the moment. | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | Mylon, have you checked out activities? | 15:55 |
| Mylon | I have no idea what that is. | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | !activities | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | !info activities | 15:56 |
| ubottu | Package activities does not exist in wily | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | oh lord | 15:56 |
| Mylon | I'm still testing Linux out and trying to get a feel for it... The desktop and the touchpad and Firefox all still feel rough on the edges. | 15:57 |
| Mylon | Pidgin also doesn't like me, but I'm 99% sure it has something to do with notifications. | 15:57 |

| BluesKaj | ok which gpu, Mylon? | 16:27 |
| Mylon | I don't know. How do I check? It's AMD mobility something or other. | 16:27 |
| Mylon | Sometimes Firefox will accept input but it won't update to show what I've done until I alt-tab out and back in. That one it only started doing over the last couple of days. | 16:28 |
