[05:06] nobody is typing anything to the channel. [05:06] oh amazing... I'm on like four different busy channels and nobody is typing (new irc client I'm using.. what a coincidence) [05:07] irc is usually quiet around this time. it's getting late in the US and is early in the EU [05:08] ah right, I see === jayhunold is now known as jhunold === Steffstoff is now known as Guest3761 === Steffstoff_ is now known as Steffstoff [08:17] \help === amishrobots is now known as me === me is now known as amishrobots === ax is now known as Guest21380 [09:11] asd [09:15] you can type! :) [10:02] 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] ghostknife: are you using the default sddm theme? [11:13] hateball: yes i am [11:15] ghostknife: there's no gui way to disable the clock or edit elements of the theme afaik [11:25] Hi folks [11:29] Howdy BluesKaj [11:30] hi hazamonzo [11:31] 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] ghostknife: well it's all found under /etc/sddm [11:32] ghostknife: themes themselves are in /usr/share/sddm [11:33] hateball: wow thanks. these theme files are pretty neat. my first run in with QML :) [11:34] there's a "Clock.qml" but I dunno where it's confed to use it [11:34] it's deep in /usr/lib [11:35] ok, thanks for the hint. [11:35] (IRCing from non plasma 5 machine, hence no copy-paste path) [11:35] 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. [11:42] 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 [11:53] 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 === kubuntu is now known as Guest8365 === Guest8365 is now known as Malsasa === Steffstoff_ is now known as Steffstoff [13:40] hi [13:41] hi Grano [13:41] how do i enable vsync in Kubuntu, im using skylakes iGPU === ccugnasc is now known as cugni [13:46] Grano: on 14.04 or 15.10 ? [13:46] 15.10 [13:46] updated my kernel to 4.4.5 [13:46] Grano: alt+space, search for compositing [13:46] should have a prevent tearing option [13:47] Grano, system settings>display&monitor>compositor, "tearing prevention" [13:47] iirc there are bugs with intel + vsync tho [13:47] might have been patched now, I dunno [13:49] currently im using the option "Only when cheap" [13:49] is full screen repaint enough to prevent tearing in videos? [13:50] because re-use screen content is not usable [13:52] I find full screen repaint to be the only reliable option [13:52] since I use nvidia blob on my primary device I use its global vsync features and disable kwins [13:52] but I do recall full screen repaint being alright [13:52] doesnt work for me though [13:53] Grano: oh and tick the... kill effects for fullscreen windows [13:53] and full creen repaint makes my system laggy to the point where its not usable [13:54] hateball: suspend compositor for full screen windows? [13:55] hmm seems like no option works reliable for me [13:55] i guess ill have to get a dedicated gpu [13:55] or wait for never drivers [13:56] Grano: should be newer mesa etc in 16.04 I guess, skylake is pretty new after all [13:57] can i just upgrade to testing from my version? [13:57] Grano: yes, at your own risk of course [13:57] Grano: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [13:57] dont worry i have all my imporant files backed up [13:57] thanks for the help [13:58] :) [14:25] Hello all. I wonder could anyone tell me if I am wasting time trying to get a decent screen size on SiS 671 adapter [14:30] Girts, graphics? [14:32] Girts: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis [14:34] ok , Smurphy found it for you Girts...BBL errands to do [14:34] yes, graphics. its been 2 days and many distros, noone has sis support it seems [14:34] thank you for your response [14:42] 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? [15:03] Fritigern: Yep - you need to provide more details, and eventually what happens when it hangs -> Screen output. [15:09] thanks and wish me luck with linux mint [15:13] :} [15:14] he'll be back :-) [15:17] yep. === brian is now known as __brian__ === Steffstoff_ is now known as Steffstoff [17:36] Smurphy: Case of mistaken identity?

[18:02] xubuntu works fine, but apt-get kubuntu-desktop fails miserably making my install broken. I use latest ubuntu 15 clean install [18:03] Hi, where can I download 16.04 beta image? [18:08] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ are these images ok? [18:18] kpawlowski: yes [18:19] (as in: that's where you should be downloading 16.04 from right now, no idea if it's "okay" as in working or not :P) [18:22] thank ;) === Guest93673 is now known as Jagrophess [20:02] has anyone here fixed issues with their wifi dropping? Mine's horrible ive tried everything [20:03] olavgg: lol ... :} [20:09] olavgg: That is why it is wise to query nickserv before identifying. [20:34] anyone else lost all sound output after this morning's wily-update? [20:50] the alsa update has made the sound cards only accessible to root, even though I'm in the audio group. [20:58] davidrnewman: I just updated and will test (unfortunately on Xenial). [21:01] Works for me. Sorry I do not have any wily partitions left. [21:07] davidrnewman; sound working ok for me after updating === brian is now known as Guest32371 [21:15] Party news [21:15] http://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-part-2/ [21:15] it looks like the udev update has broken sound, and once again made my Canon scanner inaccessible. [21:33] can I install kubuntu on my 2008 macbook 4,1? [21:51] can I install kubuntu on my 2008 macbook 4,1 [21:51] lol [21:52] why would you want to do that? [21:52] Yes its poss to do so. [21:52] OS X is driving me crazy and I wanted to see what my options are [21:52] I had windows 7 on mackbook 4,1 [21:52] and 10 [21:52] so i dont see why not? === rthomsen6 is now known as rthomsen [21:53] katie [21:53] persoanlly [21:53] if i were you. [21:53] I would install xubuntu. [21:53] 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] why xubuntu? [21:53] because its lighter. [21:54] how so? [21:54] i forget what the graphics cards on the 4,1 [21:54] gpu is poor i reckon [21:54] touche [21:54] katie: if you want light, Lubuntu is the lightest of the Ubuntu flavors though [21:55] ^ [21:55] xubuntu is just nicer [21:55] imp [21:55] imo [21:55] :P [21:55] what makes kubuntu so heavy? [21:55] its not that. [21:55] well, kubuntu is nicer too =) [21:55] it loves gpu [21:55] so it's Unity, it's a matter of choices though =) [21:55] brompt im using kubuntu on laptop :P [21:56] so am I =) [21:56] I just dont think with her gpu card [21:56] it would beifit her [21:56] good point [21:56] though I don't run Kwin, I run lxde, but kde apps [21:56] benifit. [21:56] : My macbook 3,1 handled kde4 so I think the 4,1 can handle Kubuntu fine [21:56] telegram: with plasma? [21:57] yeah, I'd think so too, if it can handled macOSX, kubuntu shouldn't be such a biggie either [21:57] : Yep [21:57] : Plasma 5 has gotten better [21:57] I mean the only reason why I was thinking kubuntu was because I liked the environment. I'm open to anything though [21:57] if you can run kde [21:57] then do so. [21:57] how do I find out if I can [21:58] katie: [21:58] He made a good point. [21:58] your running mac osz [21:58] osx so it should be fine [21:58] :P [21:58] I just know the ram etc is limited. [21:58] katie: hardaware specs :), how much ram? what type, ddr1, ddr2? what cpu speed? what hdd type? what speed, how many RPMs? [21:58] and if i had it i would use xubuntu or lxubuntu [21:59] brompt: the max is 4 [21:59] ddr 2 [21:59] dual core [21:59] 4gbs ddr2 is fine for kubuntu 14.04 [21:59] dunno on 16.04 [21:59] if you just a typical user browsing and few apps it will be fine. [22:00] well I'm a computer engineering student so I code a lot [22:00] linux itself will run 10 times better then osx [22:00] :P [22:00] katie: you won't be running VMs with those 4gbs though, but will work for everything else [22:00] ^ [22:00] yea I don't plan on running an VMs with it [22:00] im only using about 1.7 gbs out of 32gb [22:00] lol [22:01] with two vms running. [22:01] :3 [22:01] somehow, I think that number is inaccurate, unless you're running kubuntu 9.04 =) [22:02] it was not accurate. [22:02] about " roughly a guess. [22:02] I have 4GB of RAM, ddr2, 2.4 GHz speed [22:03] katie: looks good [22:03] yea I got it for a steal on ebay lol [22:03] so I think I should be good with Kubuntu? Or should I go with X or L ubuntu? [22:04] 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] bprompt: according to htop 1985mbs [22:04] katie: try out Kubuntu as live CD (on USB stick) and check out how it runs [22:04] keep in mind it will be a bit slower booting etc running off usb. [22:05] 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] yes [22:05] katie: xubuntu is just ligher than kubuntu, and Lubuntu is ligher than xubuntu, what's the difference? usually fancy features [22:05] i would be more concerned about the gpu [22:05] yea, if you are fine with its performance in that mode then you should be fine when you install it [22:07] Because it will run don't always make it the best solution. [22:07] :P [22:07] Its a machine from 2008. [22:09] typically ubuntu is good on detecting old hardware etc. [22:09] so i don't think you will have much trouble. [22:10] ok awesome. Thanks for the help and it is much appreciated! [22:10] katie: [22:10] based on forums etc [22:10] people had no issues. [22:10] from what little i researched. [22:11] i havent played with thos machines in time. [22:11] kde is great machine but i used kde itself with older hardware and had issues with the gpu [22:12] fuzzyness , lines etc [22:12] 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] but that was using other linux flavors [22:12] ie debian and fedora [22:12] like he said ubuntu is good with detection. [22:13] so stick with ubuntu? [22:13] Hi all, am having issues pairing my Nexus 5 with my system via KDE connect [22:14] I think debian doesn't include certain drivers due to licensing issues, they can, but they don't [22:14] not to mention the package manager [22:14] is horrid [22:14] well, depends, if you run kde, you can just run kde package manager =) [22:15] yea [22:16] leumas: haven't done much bluetooth myself in kde [22:16] bprompt: Kde connect works with wifi [22:17] leumas: but I simply plug in the mobile device by usb cable, and that works as MTP device or usb storage :) [22:17] :P [22:18] 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] yea that works but i want to be far from the phone and see notifications on my laptop [22:19] leumas: from my past experiance (been a while) you need the latest kde connect on your machine. Typically from a ppa. [22:19] bprompt: yea, i have installed the ppa on my repository list and updated [22:19] leumas: that simply means you need to get a 50ft cable :), maybe not =) [22:20] Alright, thanks :) [22:21] lol 50ft cable === brian is now known as Guest17911
