| ghostknife | I want to remove the clock from my login and lock screen on Kubuntu 15.10. Any advice on how to do this? | 10:02 |
| hateball | ghostknife: are you using the default sddm theme? | 10:02 |
| ghostknife | hateball: yes i am | 11:13 |
| hateball | ghostknife: there's no gui way to disable the clock or edit elements of the theme afaik | 11:15 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 11:25 |
| hazamonzo | Howdy BluesKaj | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | hi hazamonzo | 11:30 |
| ghostknife | hateball: is it something I can do manually. I'm comfortable tweaking/hacking things if I kind of know what to look for | 11:31 |
| hateball | ghostknife: well it's all found under /etc/sddm | 11:31 |
| hateball | ghostknife: themes themselves are in /usr/share/sddm | 11:32 |
| ghostknife | hateball: wow thanks. these theme files are pretty neat. my first run in with QML :) | 11:33 |
| hateball | there's a "Clock.qml" but I dunno where it's confed to use it | 11:34 |
| hateball | it's deep in /usr/lib | 11:34 |
| ghostknife | ok, thanks for the hint. | 11:35 |
| hateball | (IRCing from non plasma 5 machine, hence no copy-paste path) | 11:35 |
| ghostknife | I also don't immediately see where it's included in the breeze theme. but this seems like an exciting adventure. at face value these QML themes seem pretty flexible/powerful. | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | I've tried installing several themes with the add on installer and out of 5 or so that appeared to install only 2 showed up in the list | 11:42 |
| ghostknife | hateball: i found that the lockscreen is configured in a separate file: /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreen.qml | 11:53 |

| Grano | hi | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | hi Grano | 13:41 |
| Grano | how do i enable vsync in Kubuntu, im using skylakes iGPU | 13:41 |
| === ccugnasc is now known as cugni | ||
| hateball | Grano: on 14.04 or 15.10 ? | 13:46 |
| Grano | 15.10 | 13:46 |
| Grano | updated my kernel to 4.4.5 | 13:46 |
| hateball | Grano: alt+space, search for compositing | 13:46 |
| hateball | should have a prevent tearing option | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | Grano, system settings>display&monitor>compositor, "tearing prevention" | 13:47 |
| hateball | iirc there are bugs with intel + vsync tho | 13:47 |
| hateball | might have been patched now, I dunno | 13:47 |
| Grano | currently im using the option "Only when cheap" | 13:49 |
| Grano | is full screen repaint enough to prevent tearing in videos? | 13:49 |
| Grano | because re-use screen content is not usable | 13:50 |
| hateball | I find full screen repaint to be the only reliable option | 13:52 |
| hateball | since I use nvidia blob on my primary device I use its global vsync features and disable kwins | 13:52 |
| hateball | but I do recall full screen repaint being alright | 13:52 |
| Grano | doesnt work for me though | 13:52 |
| hateball | Grano: oh and tick the... kill effects for fullscreen windows | 13:53 |
| Grano | and full creen repaint makes my system laggy to the point where its not usable | 13:53 |
| Grano | hateball: suspend compositor for full screen windows? | 13:54 |
| Grano | hmm seems like no option works reliable for me | 13:55 |
| Grano | i guess ill have to get a dedicated gpu | 13:55 |
| Grano | or wait for never drivers | 13:55 |
| hateball | Grano: should be newer mesa etc in 16.04 I guess, skylake is pretty new after all | 13:56 |
| Grano | can i just upgrade to testing from my version? | 13:57 |
| hateball | Grano: yes, at your own risk of course | 13:57 |
| hateball | Grano: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 13:57 |
| Grano | dont worry i have all my imporant files backed up | 13:57 |
| Grano | thanks for the help | 13:57 |
| hateball | :) | 13:58 |

| frank___ | Can't install Kubuntu on my PC. Either boot from DVD hangs quite quickly or (sometimes) after installation(!!!) at reboot. Tried several times without success. I have no idea what to do first to bypass this. Any suggestions what to check or do first? | 14:42 |
| Smurphy | Fritigern: Yep - you need to provide more details, and eventually what happens when it hangs -> Screen output. | 15:03 |
| Girts | thanks and wish me luck with linux mint | 15:09 |

| insidious | lol | 21:51 |
| insidious | why would you want to do that? | 21:52 |
| insidious | Yes its poss to do so. | 21:52 |

| insidious | katie | 21:53 |
| insidious | persoanlly | 21:53 |
| insidious | if i were you. | 21:53 |
| insidious | I would install xubuntu. | 21:53 |
| katie | I am a regular linux user and us a vm to run linux on my windows computer, but I have this old macbook and thought it might be a good linux computer | 21:53 |
| katie | why xubuntu? | 21:53 |
| insidious | because its lighter. | 21:53 |
| katie | how so? | 21:54 |
| insidious | i forget what the graphics cards on the 4,1 | 21:54 |
| insidious | gpu is poor i reckon | 21:54 |
| katie | touche | 21:54 |
| bprompt | katie: if you want light, Lubuntu is the lightest of the Ubuntu flavors though | 21:54 |
| insidious | ^ | 21:55 |
| insidious | xubuntu is just nicer | 21:55 |
| insidious | imp | 21:55 |
| insidious | imo | 21:55 |
| insidious | :P | 21:55 |
| katie | what makes kubuntu so heavy? | 21:55 |
| insidious | its not that. | 21:55 |
| bprompt | well, kubuntu is nicer too =) | 21:55 |
| insidious | it loves gpu | 21:55 |
| bprompt | so it's Unity, it's a matter of choices though =) | 21:55 |
| insidious | brompt im using kubuntu on laptop :P | 21:55 |
| bprompt | so am I =) | 21:56 |
| insidious | I just dont think with her gpu card | 21:56 |
| insidious | it would beifit her | 21:56 |
| katie | good point | 21:56 |
| bprompt | though I don't run Kwin, I run lxde, but kde apps | 21:56 |
| insidious | benifit. | 21:56 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: My macbook 3,1 handled kde4 so I think the 4,1 can handle Kubuntu fine | 21:56 |
| insidious | telegram: with plasma? | 21:56 |
| bprompt | yeah, I'd think so too, if it can handled macOSX, kubuntu shouldn't be such a biggie either | 21:57 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: Yep | 21:57 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: Plasma 5 has gotten better | 21:57 |
| katie | I mean the only reason why I was thinking kubuntu was because I liked the environment. I'm open to anything though | 21:57 |
| insidious | if you can run kde | 21:57 |
| insidious | then do so. | 21:57 |
| katie | how do I find out if I can | 21:57 |
| insidious | katie: | 21:58 |
| insidious | He made a good point. | 21:58 |
| insidious | your running mac osz | 21:58 |
| insidious | osx so it should be fine | 21:58 |
| insidious | :P | 21:58 |
| insidious | I just know the ram etc is limited. | 21:58 |
| bprompt | katie: hardaware specs :), how much ram? what type, ddr1, ddr2? what cpu speed? what hdd type? what speed, how many RPMs? | 21:58 |
| insidious | and if i had it i would use xubuntu or lxubuntu | 21:58 |
| insidious | brompt: the max is 4 | 21:59 |
| insidious | ddr 2 | 21:59 |
| insidious | dual core | 21:59 |
| bprompt | 4gbs ddr2 is fine for kubuntu 14.04 | 21:59 |
| bprompt | dunno on 16.04 | 21:59 |
| insidious | if you just a typical user browsing and few apps it will be fine. | 21:59 |
| katie | well I'm a computer engineering student so I code a lot | 22:00 |
| insidious | linux itself will run 10 times better then osx | 22:00 |
| insidious | :P | 22:00 |
| bprompt | katie: you won't be running VMs with those 4gbs though, but will work for everything else | 22:00 |
| insidious | ^ | 22:00 |
| katie | yea I don't plan on running an VMs with it | 22:00 |
| insidious | im only using about 1.7 gbs out of 32gb | 22:00 |
| insidious | lol | 22:00 |
| insidious | with two vms running. | 22:01 |
| insidious | :3 | 22:01 |
| bprompt | somehow, I think that number is inaccurate, unless you're running kubuntu 9.04 =) | 22:01 |
| insidious | it was not accurate. | 22:02 |
| insidious | about " roughly a guess. | 22:02 |
| katie | I have 4GB of RAM, ddr2, 2.4 GHz speed | 22:02 |
| bprompt | katie: looks good | 22:03 |
| katie | yea I got it for a steal on ebay lol | 22:03 |
| katie | so I think I should be good with Kubuntu? Or should I go with X or L ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| bprompt | you mean, you stole it from ebay? well, watch out two guys in black wearing long-brimmed hats knocking at your door at 11pm | 22:04 |
| insidious | bprompt: according to htop 1985mbs | 22:04 |
| leumas_ | katie: try out Kubuntu as live CD (on USB stick) and check out how it runs | 22:04 |
| insidious | keep in mind it will be a bit slower booting etc running off usb. | 22:04 |
| katie | so download it on to a USB, then get to the boot menu and run it from there before I wipe my hardrive? | 22:05 |
| insidious | yes | 22:05 |
| bprompt | katie: xubuntu is just ligher than kubuntu, and Lubuntu is ligher than xubuntu, what's the difference? usually fancy features | 22:05 |
| insidious | i would be more concerned about the gpu | 22:05 |
| leumas_ | yea, if you are fine with its performance in that mode then you should be fine when you install it | 22:05 |
| insidious | Because it will run don't always make it the best solution. | 22:07 |
| insidious | :P | 22:07 |
| insidious | Its a machine from 2008. | 22:07 |
| insidious | typically ubuntu is good on detecting old hardware etc. | 22:09 |
| insidious | so i don't think you will have much trouble. | 22:09 |
| katie | ok awesome. Thanks for the help and it is much appreciated! | 22:10 |
| insidious | katie: | 22:10 |
| insidious | based on forums etc | 22:10 |
| insidious | people had no issues. | 22:10 |
| insidious | from what little i researched. | 22:10 |
| insidious | i havent played with thos machines in time. | 22:11 |
| insidious | kde is great machine but i used kde itself with older hardware and had issues with the gpu | 22:11 |
| insidious | fuzzyness , lines etc | 22:12 |
| bprompt | katie: the driver base for the ubuntu flavors installations is pretty good, that chances are, it will pick up everything your machine has | 22:12 |
| insidious | but that was using other linux flavors | 22:12 |
| insidious | ie debian and fedora | 22:12 |
| insidious | like he said ubuntu is good with detection. | 22:12 |
| katie | so stick with ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| leumas | Hi all, am having issues pairing my Nexus 5 with my system via KDE connect | 22:13 |
| bprompt | I think debian doesn't include certain drivers due to licensing issues, they can, but they don't | 22:14 |
| insidious | not to mention the package manager | 22:14 |
| insidious | is horrid | 22:14 |
| bprompt | well, depends, if you run kde, you can just run kde package manager =) | 22:14 |
| insidious | yea | 22:15 |
| bprompt | leumas: haven't done much bluetooth myself in kde | 22:16 |
| leumas | bprompt: Kde connect works with wifi | 22:16 |
| bprompt | leumas: but I simply plug in the mobile device by usb cable, and that works as MTP device or usb storage :) | 22:17 |
| insidious | :P | 22:17 |
| bprompt | leumas: so, you're making kde connect to work as "wifi access point" to the Nexus tablet then? hmm haven't used kde connect myself though | 22:18 |
| leumas | yea that works but i want to be far from the phone and see notifications on my laptop | 22:18 |
| Scunizi | leumas: from my past experiance (been a while) you need the latest kde connect on your machine. Typically from a ppa. | 22:19 |
| leumas | bprompt: yea, i have installed the ppa on my repository list and updated | 22:19 |
| bprompt | leumas: that simply means you need to get a 50ft cable :), maybe not =) | 22:19 |
| leumas | Alright, thanks :) | 22:20 |
| insidious | lol 50ft cable | 22:21 |
