TheSapphireHello everyone, I would like to know how to add my Facebook account to the instant messaging applet.02:34
=== struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk
TheSapphireAnyone online?02:34
DarinMillerHi TheSapphire: Which IM account are you trying to configure?02:35
TheSapphireI'm new to this, I do not see Facebook listed under Taskbar>Instant Messaging>Configure Now>Create02:36
DarinMillerIf it's telepathy, facebook messaging is no longer possible. I have not tried Pidgin for quite a while.  I was under the impression fb closed their IM to outside (non-fb) messengers.... but I am not positive.02:37
DarinMillerThe default messenger on the taskbar is telepathy...02:38
TheSapphireIt's not? It is misleading in the kubuntu feature tour that shows Facebook in it. :/02:39
TheSapphireOkay, thank you DarinMiller for the info.02:39
DarinMillerFB used ot have an open protocol and telepathy worked great.  But then fb changed their game.02:40

lordievaderGood morning.10:30
AlterXHello there11:49
AlterXsomeone can help me with detection of cpu's?11:50
AlterXno help11:54
lordievaderDetection of cpu's?11:58
AlterXyes11:58
AlterXfinally I got kubuntu installed with nvidia11:59
AlterXbut I see only one cpu11:59
AlterXSMP is disabled according to dmsg11:59
AlterXI tried out everything to get this fixed11:59
lordievaderAlterX: Could you pastebin the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'?11:59
AlterXbut nothing seems to work for me11:59
AlterXsure11:59

lordievaderCould you please paste it again via ^12:00
AlterXI have acpi=off otherwise it doesn't boot12:00
AlterXok sorry12:00
AlterXhttps://paste.kde.org/pirlghf6e12:01
lordievaderHmm, yeah it might very well be the acpi option.12:01
lordievaderhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI might help you.12:02
AlterXI can't activate it, I put apm=on12:02
AlterXsince also in the BIOS I have no acpi menu12:02
lordievaderWhat does it do when you remove the 'acpi=off' option?12:03
AlterXsimple doesn' boot...blackscreen12:04
lordievaderAs in the gpu doesn't do anything or does it display a blinking underscore?12:05
AlterXI on the link you posted I can see few options I did not try12:05
AlterXnothing12:05
AlterXjust blackscreen12:06
lordievaderAlterX: Try the nomodeset option.12:06
AlterXit is also true that I am not sure if acpi=off is the trick12:06
AlterXat the beginning it was the magic12:06
lordievaderTurning all of acpi off is bit blunt, hence me linking to the debugging acpi page ;)12:06
AlterXthen I had problem with nvidia driver that now seems to be fixed12:06
lordievaderYou rarely want to turn acpi entirely off.12:07
AlterXI know it12:07
AlterXI don't want12:07
AlterXi have to try to boot without acpi disabled12:07
AlterXat least once12:07
AlterXthe acpi=ht didn't work for me12:08
AlterXand here is speaking about SMP code12:09
AlterXok thanks12:10
AlterXI'll give a try now12:10
DMPhello12:42
DMPDoes anyone know when the next Kubuntu  LTS will be released?12:43
lordievader!schedule12:44
lordievader06-13:44 < ubottu> A schedule of Xenial Xerus (16.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseSchedule12:44
lordievaderDMP: ^12:44
DMPthank you. I am using Mint at the moment but am checking options12:45
DMPI made the change when Windows 8.1 decided to download WIN 10 on my HD without asking12:53

=== Sophie_ is now known as Amelia15
AlterXhello there14:18
BluesKajhi AlterX14:19
AlterXso14:22
AlterXseems I found the cause behind acpi14:22
AlterXit works with pci=noacpi14:22
AlterXbut recomended14:22
BluesKajwhat works ?14:23
BluesKajlogin?14:23
AlterXbut recommended nvidia driver doesn't let my pc to boot in graphics mode14:23
AlterXsorry, it was a problem with acpi14:23
AlterXit was working only if disabled, boot14:23
AlterXnow I found out that using pci=noacpi is unblocking the boot14:24
AlterXand kubuntu 15.10 starts regularly14:24
BluesKajok, which nvidia gpu?14:24
AlterXbut now I can only use nouveau14:24
AlterXGTX 97014:24
AlterXi found a way to install non official kubuntu driver14:25
AlterXand the latest nvidia one14:25
AlterXand it works14:25
AlterXbut I prefer to have the official14:25
BluesKajis this an Optimus equipped laptop with 2gpus (hybrid)?14:25
AlterXno14:25
AlterXasus g20aj14:25
BluesKajwhich driver ?14:26
BluesKajis the latest nvidia14:26
AlterXthe one recommended is 352.6314:27
AlterX!paste14:27

AlterXhttp://imgur.com/8eNX4qQ14:30
BluesKajAlterX, are you using the 361.28 proprietary driver from the nvidia download site?14:30
AlterXno14:30
AlterXnouveau14:30
AlterXI mean it seams to work well14:30
AlterXbut I think using the original from nvidia would be better14:30
AlterXchek the link out14:32
BluesKajyuou won't notice much difference unless you play games that require OpenGL3.114:32
AlterXok, never say never ;)14:32
AlterXI mean I know that for standard use is perfect14:32
=== FFleder is now known as FFleder^afk
AlterXbut perfect would be to have all running14:32
BluesKajbut I'm surprised the 361 driver isn't available in the repos14:33
AlterXkubuntu itself is recommended to use nvidia :)14:33
BluesKajhave you upgraded to the latest kernel and packages ?14:33
AlterXsystem is up-to-date14:33
BluesKajthat seems odd, because iI know of users with the 361 driver installed from the repos14:34
AlterXmaybe is not a standard repos14:35
AlterXbut why if I install that, after reboot I have a blackscreen?14:36
AlterXshould I remove xorg.conf after installed it?14:36
AlterXthis is at least what a guy said in the installation of latest nvidia driver14:37
AlterXat the end of installation and it worked14:37
BluesKajmost installs don't have an xorg.conf file installed14:37
AlterXis this nouveau using the gpu or not?14:37
BluesKajof course it uses the gpu14:38
AlterXok14:38
AlterXit seems slow in resizing windows14:38
BluesKajbut you're correct, the 352 driver is the latest nvidia for kubuntu14:39
AlterXso what you suggest?14:40
BluesKajAlterX, what settings are you using in system settings>display& monitor>compositor>rendering backaend14:41
=== struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk
AlterXXRender14:45
AlterXshould I change it to OpenGL?14:46
BluesKajyes14:46
AlterX2.x14:46
AlterXor 3.x14:46
AlterXok done14:46
BluesKajtry 314:47
AlterXdone14:47
AlterXit seems to work well14:51
BluesKajAlterX, run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade14:52
AlterXall done already14:55
AlterXso I give up with nvidia proprietary for the time being14:58
AlterX?14:58
MrClementiHi! Am I in the right place to ask for help?15:01
BluesKajMrClementi, yes, just ask15:02
MrClementiOk. I have trouble with Libreoffice Calc15:02
MrClementiwith a number of documents, but not all15:02
MrClementiit crashes the whole system: the mouse pointer becomes a square of coloured dots, then the screen becomes blue, than black, then I have to turn off the computer15:03
MrClementiI've tried to reinstall Libreoffice, but it does not help15:04
MrClementiI have no idea what's wromg or even where to look to understand what the issue is15:04
MrClementithe documents in question open just fine with other softwares and on other machines15:04
MrClementiany idea?15:05
BluesKajMrClementi, it would be better to ask in #libreoffice15:05
MrClementiI'll try, but I'm not sure if it's a problem with libreoffice or with some other thing15:05
BluesKajdoes your printer for other text docs ?15:07
BluesKajwork15:07
MrClementimine? printer works fine15:09
BluesKajon existing libreoffice documents ?15:12
MrClementiyes, no problem15:12
BluesKajjust opening them is a problem ?15:13
=== struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away
MrClementiwell, some crash immediately as I open them, other times it crashes randomly when I do something15:14
MrClementilike yesterday it crashed when I wrote a calculation and I pressed return15:14
BluesKajalways in libreoffice or other apps as well?15:15
MrClementino, just Libreoffice Calc15:15
MrClementithis happened the first time many versions of Libreoffice back, with one specific document. I thought it was corrupted in some way and discarded it, but now it's more and more common15:17
MrClementiI have no clue15:17
MrClementiIs there some place where I hope to find some log of such crashes? For all I know now, it could be just anything15:21
DarinMillerMrClementi which version of libre office? Calc crashing has been an issue in the past, but subsequent releases have fixed some of those issues.15:25
MrClementi5.1.1.215:26
MrClementiBut it also happened before the last few updates15:26
BluesKajMrClementi you can check /var/log/syslog or perhaps a log there that pertains to libreoffice, not exactly sure15:27
MrClementiThanks, I'll now crash my computer and see... BRB15:28
MrClementiNothing :(15:38
DarinMillerMrClementi If you launch from the command line libreoffice --calc <path to file>,  does lo throw an error before taking down your system?15:44
yeehiMISSING FUNCTIONALITY: It used to be possible to "open-in-terminal" at an arbitrary location from Dolphin. How can we do that now? (Right click-open in terminal)15:46
MrClementiI'll try and let you know15:46
lordievaderyeehi: F4 -> ./<whatever you wanted to execute>?15:47
BluesKajyeehi, dolphin tools15:47
yeehiBluesKaj - Thank you very much! That is exactly what I wanted. :)15:49
BluesKajyeehi, :-)15:50
yeehiBluesKaj, is there a way to have similar right-click functionality with youtube-dl?15:51
BluesKajyeehi, what kind of functionality would that be?15:52
yeehiBluesKaj: you are browsing a webpage, see a youtube link you want to download, you right click on the link, and a menu opens, one of the options being to youtube-dl15:54
BluesKajyeehi, after right clicking ob the video choose cliget >copy curl for image, then use wget and paste the url , but it basically does the same as youtube-dl , vut it also will download jpegs as well15:58
BluesKajbut15:58
BluesKajyou may have to install curl15:59
yeehiThank you, BluesKaj. You are most knowledgeable15:59
MrClementiHere I am. libreoffice -calc /path/to/file.ods returns no error: system crashes too soon16:00
BluesKajMrClementi, perhaps sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice16:02
MrClementialready tried :(16:03
BluesKajMrClementi, have you updated,upgraded dist-upgraded lately?16:06
MrClementiyes, but it happened before and after, with previous versions of Libreoffice as well16:07
MrClementithe practical workaround is to copy the document to another file with Calligra, then everything works, but this problem is so random and so bad it bugs me16:09
MrClementione moment everything works, then apparently for no reason a simple spreadsheed crashes the whole system so bad I must pull the plug!16:12
BluesKajMrClementi, sounds to me like you have an intermittent hardware problem, unless you don't have crashes with other apps16:15
MrClementiNo crashes with other apps, and no crashes with other files. Some spreadsheets, apparently at random, will do this16:16
MrClementino other problems with libreoffice either, just spreadsheets are an issue16:17
BluesKajstill think you should ask in #libreoffice chat16:17
MrClementiBluesKaj, I have, to no avail16:18
BluesKajMrClementi, seems to me then that the spreadsheet app is corrupted somehow, suggest you save all your docs then purge libreoffice, reboot, then reinstall it ...that's all I can think of to do.16:21
MrClementiI'll try!16:24

DarinMillerThanks BluesKaj.  But the issue is not repository, its the gmail configuration. Google is denying kmail connection as my current kmail config does not comply with googles 2 step authenticatioin.  I don't know how to enable 2 step with kmail and cannot find any documentation.20:07
Knight2016DarinMiller:  tried this? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en20:10
BluesKajDarinMiller, sorry to hear that, but my kmail usage stopped when kde4 was introduced and the devs turned the original kmail client intro an office enterprise style cleint with servers and database, something I don't want or need since I'm a home user20:10
DarinMillerI mainly use webmail myself, but I thought I would at least check it (kmail) out.20:15

BluesKajDarinMiller, I admire your dedication to testing 16.04, but i can't be bothered with kmail.20:27
DarinMillerKnight2016: Thanks! That's all I needed to do. Google flaged kamill as unsafe and mentioned 2 step authentication in my e-mail alert.  Turns out, I did not have 2 step authentication turned on.  It on now and kmail is working fine.20:27
