[05:45] <blendroid> have spent over an hour trying to learn how to install current nvidia drivers without leaning on any big red self-destruct buttons.
[05:46] <blendroid> anybody know an idiot-proof guide that is current? all the ones I've found don't seem to accurately describe 15.1.
[05:57] <valorie> !nvidia | blendroid
[06:01] <blendroid> ubottu, thanks, I'll check it out
[06:01] <blendroid> oh lol I see

[09:40] <mo34> Hello. I'm having an issue with Skype. Calls are not connecting - neither when I make them, nor when someone calls me. In the latter case, I don't get a call. Running Kubuntu 15.10, Skype 4.3 from the Ubuntu partners repository. Would anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
[09:42] <chr1s> hi mo34. I think I read something about Microsoft breaking compatability with Windows clients recently... let me see if i can find the article
[09:43] <chr1s> in the mean time, have you tried using the call test to see if everything is set up correctly?
[09:43] <mo34> chr1s: yup, even the call to echo test doesn't go through
[09:44] <mo34> chr1s: but, the webcam and speaker tests in the options seem to be fine
[09:45] <chr1s> mo34: this is it http://mspoweruser.com/skype-for-linux-is-broken-and-users-arent-happy/
[09:45] <chr1s> I don't use skype so I'm only basing on what I read
[09:46] <chr1s> it seems since February Skype on Linux doesn't work anymore
[09:47] <mo34> chr1s: Thanks, but ouch :(
[09:47] <chr1s> yep, sorry for the bad news
[09:47] <chr1s> hopefully it will get resolved if enough people complain
[09:48] <mo34> chr1s: I have a Skype interview tomorrow, and I don't know if I'm in a position to ask them to use another service :/
[09:48] <mo34> chr1s: I tried running it on wine, it's a no go, somehow... Maybe I should try to get hold of an old version and try it on wine, or I'll try cheating the web version?
[09:49] <chr1s> double ouch but I would think that any reasonable comany would be understanding and arrange some other way to do the interview
[09:49] <chr1s> i have no idea how well it may have worked on wine in the past
[09:50] <chr1s> hope you can find a solution
[09:55] <chr1s> also from the article it seems like it should work if the client on the other end is an old version? In the worst case maybe they could downgrade for the call
[09:56] <chr1s> this kind of thing is why i try to avoid proprietary solutions as much as possible
[09:59] <mo34> chr1s: I completely agree
[10:01] <mo34> chr1s: Thanks for your help mate
[10:01] <chr1s> mo34: no worries, good luck for your interview
[10:01] <mo34> chr1s: I'll see what I can do... Worst case, borrow a friend's laptop or tab
[10:01] <mo34> chr1s: peace.
[10:27] <Daskreech> Fairly certain if all the Linux users complained for a year Microsoft would just get fat off drinking their tears. For The Majority of Linux users which is a minority of the market this is probably going to go fully unnoticed
[10:40] <chr1s> Daskreech: unfortunately I would tend to agree with you in the short term however taking the longer view as more and more people run into issues on various platforms (OS X, Android, etc.) perhaps it will stop enough people using it that it starts to impact Microsoft enough to have to care
[10:40] <chr1s> but i wouldn't hold me breath either...
[10:40] <chr1s> s/me/my
[11:55] <lordievader> Good afternoon.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[12:20] <lordievader> Hey BluesKaj
[12:20] <lordievader> How are you doing?
[12:21] <BluesKaj> good, lordievader and you?
[12:21] <lordievader> Doing good :)
[13:17] <andybrine> does anyone know how to migrate emails from one imap account to another?
[13:21] <SabreWolfy> Drag and drop
[13:22] <andybrine> literally as simple as that?
[13:23] <SabreWolfy> If you setup with IMAP accounts in the same client, it's that easy. I've done it with Thunderbird. I don't know how much bandwidth it uses.
[13:24] <andybrine> im using thunderbird now
[13:24] <andybrine> just dragging and dropping them
[13:24] <andybrine> will see how it goes
[13:24] <andybrine> Thanks
[13:29] <SabreWolfy> I suggest trying with a few messages and checking that it is working.
[13:30] <SabreWolfy> And then doing them in batches / folders, rather than trying to 1000's at a time.
[13:31] <andybrine> lol, too late. :)
[13:31] <andybrine> I copied my inbox and have done folder at a time
[13:31] <andybrine> thanks for that, it worked prefectly
[13:32] <andybrine> but instead of copying the emails, its completely moved them
[13:33] <SabreWolfy> Oh, I think it will do that with a drag and drop. MIgrate sort of implies that :)
[13:33] <SabreWolfy> I don't know if there is a way to do it as a copy.
[13:34] <SabreWolfy> Glad it worked.
[13:34] <andybrine> thats ok. Not like you are going to use the old email host like you said, thats why yu are moving it over :)
[13:35] <andybrine> I asked my hosting providers and they were clueless
[13:35] <andybrine> glad I could do it and it was sooo simple! :)
[15:22] <Aleksejs> Hello, I have a problem with firefox on freshly installed kubuntu 15.04. When I try to open any youtube video, firefox hangs. I can see a "Read s.ytimg.com" below. I tried safe mode, tried to reinstall firefox, etc - nothing helps. Any ideas?
[15:25] <BluesKaj> !15.04
[15:26] <BluesKaj> Aleksejs, youshould install 15.10 since 15.04 is no longer supported
[15:57] <Daxter> hi there :)
[16:10] <lordievader> o/
[16:56] <Zren> Does disabling smooth scrolling in chrome://flags cause tearing on scroll for anyone else?
[17:03] <memphisto> Hi

[17:49] <markit> hi, how can (just for fun/test) run wayland? I've installed plasma-workspace-wayland and rebooted, but I think I'm still in X-Window
[18:02] <soee> markit: maybe try image from Neon project
[18:07] <markit> soee: I want to try in 16.04
[18:07] <markit> sure there is some sort of "reconfigure" to set the default
[18:10] <soee> markit: ok, than i cant help here :)
[19:50] <pcouaillier> Hi! Do someone know a good media player to read folder content through samba? (I'm actually using vlc but it's not really efficient)
[19:55] <BluesKaj> why do you need a media player to read folder content, just readit directly, pcouaillier
[19:58] <pcouaillier> Yea... but I dislike to open 20 folder instead of 1...
[20:00] <pcouaillier> On windows and mac i Take me 1 sec to do it.. on linux... Easier to start a windows VM and lunch vlc...
[20:00] <BluesKaj> how does the media player make that distinction, pcouaillier?
[20:04] <pcouaillier> I don't know... All I know is the fact that folder raise an exception on linux and on other OS it works
[20:08] <pcouaillier> Do you know a media player witch support random order and recursive file importation through samba?
[20:30] <markit> pcouaillier: couldn't it be that it has issues with strange file names / charsets?
[20:34] <pcouaillier> I don't think so... I only use [A-z] [0-9] and space
[20:42] <markit> pcouaillier: you could try to run vlc from console ($ vlc) and see if it outputs something more meaningful
[20:42] <markit> (when it behaves badly)
[20:44] <BluesKaj> pcouaillier, or vlc-nox in the terminal
[20:49] <pcouaillier> "open failes [...] is a directory"
[20:50] <pekosi_> When I do pm-suspend or any act of  making my laptop sleep, it shuts down instead and after I click on power on button, it reboots (or just boots, I don't know). How would I go about debugging this issue?

[22:05] <soee> than: sudo apt update
[22:05] <soee> than: sudo apt full-upgrade

[22:05] <Quantos> Okay, I'll let you know
[22:05] <soee> ok
[22:06] <Quantos> CTRL ALT T doesn't open term?
[22:07] <soee> ALT + F2 and typ: terminal

[22:12] <Quantos> Yes, I can see a window if I drag it there though

[22:15] <Quantos> It's not the end of the world not having a wallpaper displayed, but I keep reaching over to turn the dumb monitor on
[22:16] <lordievader> Quantos: You might want to remove your ~/.local/share/kscreen folder, or rather rename it.
[22:16] <lordievader> Then log out and in again.
[22:16] <Quantos> Okay, give me a few mins to locate it
[22:17] <Quantos> Okay renamed, loggging now
[22:18] <Quantos> We have something new happening, just checking it
[22:19] <Quantos> Houston, the eagle has landed
[22:19] <Quantos> Thanks lordievader
[22:19] <lordievader> No problem ;)
[22:20] <Quantos> I will name my first daughter after you

[22:21] <lordievader> Heh, after my nick, or my real name :P
[22:21] <Quantos> I'm thinking your nick should make the missus happy too
[22:22] <lordievader> :P
[22:22] <Quantos> I was digging through config files looking for a switch for hours

[23:22] <ProfInc> is there anyone who can help me install an app on my amazon fire stick?  I keep getting error messages saying error: more than one device and emulator
[23:22] <ProfInc> - waiting for device -
[23:24] <ProfInc> is anyone here that can help?
[23:37] <keithzg> ProfInc: Likely just the classic case of there being an emulator configured so adb doesn't know what to do when there's both that and a physical device.
[23:37] <keithzg> The lazy way is just to use the -d switch with ADB, which tells it to only consider actual devices.
[23:38] <keithzg> (yeah, I know he's gone, but hey, 15 minutes ain't bad for turnaround!)
[23:57] <r_rios> Hello. For some reason, applications like Chrome and Qt Creator (which are drawn with OpenGL, I assume) are slooooow. I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and everything else seems fine aside from that. Any idea on what might be wrong?
