[01:29] Right now some dialogs/windows just show up as a black box. [01:30] And I haven't quite figured out how to restart it safely. Killing it makes launching anything damn near impossible. [02:39] Mylon: hit CTRL+Space (CTRL+F2 before Plama5) to bring up KRunner and enter "killall -s HUP plasmashell && plasmashell --shut-up" to restart plasma [02:40] 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. [02:41] Basically forcing me to restart. [02:50] Fritigern? [02:52] 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] I use this all the time, well, when I need to. And I promise you that it works. [02:53] Alright. [02:55] Hmm, that sorta worked. Firefox still doesn't redraw anything unless I alt-tab out and back in. [02:55] 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] Do make sure you have the most recent drivers ofr your graphics card [02:56] I wonder if AMD makes an auto-detect app for Linux... [02:56] I'm on a 5 year old laptop. [02:56] If using an Nvidia or AMD card, you may get better results with the non-free drivers [02:56] 5 year old? Then whatever AMD card is in there, it will probably no longer be supported by them [03:01] Or maybe I need a different GUI than KDE/plasma. [03:04] And now Pidgin can turn black and not display anything until I restart that. :/ [03:04] Sounds like your issue is mostly with GTK apps [03:05] Have a look at your GTK themes and see if they need to be reinstalled [03:06] 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. === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [03:43] I used ctrl+alt+L to lock my session [03:44] a white screen is now shown [03:44] what to do? :/ [03:44] hmm [03:45] i think your session locker might've got broken or something [03:45] just to go console (ctrl+alt+f1) and run systemctl restart lightdm [03:45] (i assume you are telling this from another computer) [03:45] additionnaly, ctrl+alt+F[1-6] just goes to a black screen, then the screen goes in standby mode :/ [03:45] yes I am [03:46] let's ssh to it then.. [03:47] well, no luck [03:48] hm [03:48] perhaps it's because I switched from fglrx to the opensource driver [03:48] I rebooted === newell is now known as Guest76690 [04:58] How would I be able to upgrade kde 4 to kde5? [05:16] jack_: I have done it, but it is not simple [05:16] much easier to make a fresh install [05:17] what version of Kubuntu are you running now? [06:14] AciD`: but how shall i do that during the installation [06:14] the installer does not allow me to do anything [06:14] i can't just open a command line and solve the conflict [06:45] cool [06:46] switching from kde4 to kde5 means losing most of your settings, at least all the one for configuring the desktop.. [06:46] way to go martin. [06:46] [06:49] AciD`: You could go in #kde and speak to mgraesslin if you like [06:50] Ranting about someone giving you software for free where they are not around to read seems pretty rude [06:51] done [06:52] 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? [07:18] hello === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [08:26] Is there a way to manually deselect packages on install [08:26] Or any debug mode? [08:27] In the latest 15.10 installer [08:27] There is a package conflict that keeps crashing the installer all the time [08:27] with the locales [08:28] I have set a German locale, checked non free packages and set German as a language [08:29] I unchecked the download updates while installing option [08:29] The notebook is a quad core amd64 based system with uefi [08:31] The installer is so simplified that it seems impossible to resolve such issues [08:34] Did anybody encounter something similar? [08:34] Oh well [08:35] I might come back later [08:35] The screen lied - help doesn't wirk [08:36] had a problem in the installer in ubuntu 14 too [08:52] is there any distribution similiar to parted magic [09:07] franky: parted magic? [09:09] franky: ##linux probably knows more. depending on which tools you need you can look at sysrescuecd [09:22] minimum sys requrirement for kubuntu [09:24] pip3 install rpm gives me error [09:24] cannot import rpm in python how should i do it? [09:25] hi [09:27] Im having some problems with hangs any hints on where to start looking? [09:40] i want to delete the drive, looking for erase disk tool [09:41] the drive is old same like the cpu [09:44] Good morning.

Can I just install the package and edit startup, or should I backup my home directory and reinstall Linux? [15:47] Mylon,, another desktop? [15:47] Yeah. Like gnome or... I don't know really. [15:47] we're sorry Mario, but our princess is in another desktop! [15:48] o/ all [15:48] KDE is not playing nicely with my computer. [15:51] 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 [15:52] Mylon, what issues are you having with kde? [15:53] 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. [15:54] I forget my other gripes at the moment. [15:55] Mylon, have you checked out activities? [15:55] I have no idea what that is. [15:55] !activities [15:56] !info activities [15:56] Package activities does not exist in wily [15:56] oh lord [15:57] 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] Pidgin also doesn't like me, but I'm 99% sure it has something to do with notifications.

[16:27] I don't know. How do I check? It's AMD mobility something or other. [16:28] Sometimes Firefox will accept input but it won't update to show what I've done until I alt-tab out and back in.
