| kaddi | Hi guys, i have a laptop with a high dpi screen. (3200x1800 on 14inch). Is there a theme for kde that'll make fonts large enoguh to be readable? Or do I have to adjust everything by hand? | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| kaddi | if the latter is the case, is there any advantage to mess with all the settings rather than just reduce resolution in display config? | 00:44 |
| kaddi | sorry, I got disconnected.. Did anyone reply while I was gone? | 00:54 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: There is a scaling setting somewhere | 01:00 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: I know all the graphics are svg so they scale | 01:00 |
| kaddi | yeah, i actually tried that, got a crash on login of kdeinit4 (i think, I didn't write it down stupidly) but even though the windows where there was no background, taskbar, etc.. Tried to run plasmashell, but that made no difference | 01:04 |
| kaddi | on the next login, it just ignored the scale setting | 01:04 |
| kaddi | and went back to the miniature look | 01:04 |
| kaddi | I'm back to using a 1900x1080 resolution instead of the large one | 01:05 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: Mm odd I know 5.4 or 5.5 added more support for high resolution | 01:06 |
| kaddi | the option with the scaling is there, but it just caused a crash on login when I scaled everything to 1.4 and restarted the PC | 01:07 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: What version are you on 15.10? | 01:07 |
| kaddi | 5.15 apparently | 01:09 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: 5.15? | 01:10 |
| kaddi | myrti@mytree:~$ kdeinit5 --version | 01:11 |
| kaddi | Qt: 5.4.2 | 01:11 |
| kaddi | KDE: 5.15.0 | 01:11 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: Kubuntu 15.10? | 01:11 |
| kaddi | using kubuntu 15.10 | 01:11 |
| kaddi | ah | 01:11 |
| kaddi | sorry | 01:11 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: did you add the backport ppa? | 01:11 |
| kaddi | no, i don't think so | 01:13 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: it adds more updated packages that did not make it into the release | 01:14 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: I'll grab the blog post | 01:14 |
| kaddi | thx | 01:14 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2015/kubuntu-kde-5-4-3-bugfix-release-available-now-in-wily-backports/ | 01:15 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: a blog page from our awesome dev scarlett | 01:16 |
| kaddi | and 5.4.3 is better for high DPI screens? | 01:18 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: it could be, not sure tbh but new packages are always better when it comes to KDE :) | 01:19 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: some of us are still on 1080 lol | 01:19 |
| kaddi | I'm gonna have to disagree... I was one of the early adopters with kde4.... Newer definitely wasn't better then ;p | 01:20 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: that is a good point | 01:20 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: I've had very little issues in Plasma 5 though | 01:21 |
| kaddi | but honestly, with 5 it's been very smooth :) | 01:21 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: That is good :) | 01:22 |
| kaddi | k, i'll let you know the outcome tomorrow. XD 300MB of downloads on my connection can take hours *whistle* | 01:23 |
| telegram | <athoneycutt>: alright we'll be around | 01:23 |

| jim__ | need help for installation - when booting (start kubuntu) it eventually freezes on the kubuntu logo splash screen | 07:02 |
| hateball | !nomodeset | jim__ | 07:03 |
| ubottu | jim__: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:03 |
| jim__ | should i press 'e' and add the command or press 'c' nd do it from command-line? | 07:09 |
| hateball | jim__: e | 07:12 |
| hateball | jim__: removing quiet splash might show you more info why it stalls also | 07:13 |
| jim__ | thanks hateball | 07:32 |

| omenius | after booting windows, I can't acess my HDD from within kubuntu | 09:34 |
| omenius | it's just files, no OS or anything | 09:34 |
| omenius | windows why u do this | 09:34 |
| omenius | I just want to hear some slick daft punk sound without poor youtube quality :( | 09:35 |
| buddhi | which version of windows ?? | 09:36 |
| omenius | 10. Did not install it by myself.. | 09:36 |
| buddhi | omenius: yah there is problem with win10 ... i guess u get some message while u try to access yu hdd | 09:37 |
| omenius | An error occurred while accessing 'Home', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /media/omen/1000A: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o | 09:38 |
| buddhi | i downgraded to win7 immidiately after facing this problem. | 09:38 |
| omenius | my windows 8 was even the "yarrr" version, but that did not stop it upgrading by itself | 09:39 |
| omenius | I got it from my one eyed friend that always has his parrot with him | 09:41 |
| Ryan_Orz | I upgrade my kubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04, I found that ksnapshot and gwenview have conflict because of dependencies. | 09:57 |
| soee | Ryan_Orz: just did the same :) | 10:00 |
| soee | first of all remove ksnapshot and install spectacle | 10:00 |
| soee | probably your printscr shortcut button wont work then so you either have to set it manually to trigger spectacle to remoce one file from .confg/ | 10:01 |
| soee | i think it was .config/khotkeysrc | 10:02 |
| soee | when it comes to gwenview, remove package called: libkipi-data | 10:02 |
| soee | then reinstall gwenview or run apt-get -f install | 10:03 |
| Ryan_Orz | is spectacle a rpm spec generator ? | 10:04 |
| Ryan_Orz | ok, in fact my system works well, just cannot use ksnapshot :D | 10:07 |
| soee | spectacle is new tool for taking screenshots | 10:07 |
| soee | ksnapshot is obsolate | 10:07 |
| soee | use spectacle form now on :) | 10:08 |
| Ryan_Orz | oh, I know the name of "spectacle" conflicts with that package. .... -_- ! | 10:12 |
| Ryan_Orz | the package full name is "kde-spectacle" :D | 10:13 |
| Ryan_Orz | soee: got it. kde-spectacle ^ v ^ | 10:14 |

| hateball | markslaw: what "daily updates" were these? Have a look in /var/log/apt/history* | 13:55 |
| hateball | In the case of a kernel update, try booting an older one | 13:55 |
| markslaw | here's today's entry: Start-Date: 2016-03-21 08:56:25 Upgrade: tzdata-java:amd64 (2015g-1, 2016b-0ubuntu0.15.10), tzdata:amd64 (2015g-1, 2016b-0ubuntu0.15.10) End-Date: 2016-03-21 08:56:44 | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | markslaw, if it's an intel audio driver try, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, and reboot | 13:59 |
| markslaw | i'm pretty sure it's not an intel driver. i'm using an amd cpu and asus motherboard with a soundblaster audio card. | 14:01 |
| markslaw | i must be barking up the wrong tree. i just googled tzdata and it says: tzdata: time zone and daylight-saving time data tzdata-java: time zone and daylight-saving time data for use by java runtimes | 14:04 |

| Smurphy | did dmesg tell you something about the sound ? Maybe you hit the mute key. | 14:48 |
| markslaw | too easy. nothing muted, nothing playing. something got switched when i rebooted this morning, and I can't find it. | 14:50 |
| markslaw | i've tried looking in system settings -> multimedia -> audio and video and nothing seems to work when I change it. also, it seems a little "gray." maybe it's the light, but could THAT mean something? everything seems to be responding when i click on it. | 14:52 |
| Smurphy | How about your /boot directory being full, and the system was unable tro correctly build the initial-ramdisks which are loading the drivers ? | 14:54 |
