[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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?
[00:54] <kaddi> sorry, I got disconnected.. Did anyone reply while I was gone?
 There is a scaling setting somewhere
 I know all the graphics are svg so they scale
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <kaddi> I'm back to using a 1900x1080 resolution instead of the large one
 Mm odd I know 5.4 or 5.5 added more support for high resolution
[01:07] <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
 What version are you on 15.10?
[01:09] <kaddi> 5.15 apparently
 5.15?
[01:11] <kaddi> myrti@mytree:~$ kdeinit5 --version
[01:11] <kaddi> Qt: 5.4.2
[01:11] <kaddi> KDE: 5.15.0
 Kubuntu 15.10?
[01:11] <kaddi> using kubuntu 15.10
[01:11] <kaddi> ah
[01:11] <kaddi> sorry
 did you add the backport ppa?
[01:13] <kaddi> no, i don't think so
 it adds more updated packages that did not make it into the release
 I'll grab the blog post
[01:14] <kaddi> thx
 http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2015/kubuntu-kde-5-4-3-bugfix-release-available-now-in-wily-backports/
 a blog page from our awesome dev scarlett
[01:18] <kaddi> and 5.4.3 is better for high DPI screens?
 it could be, not sure tbh but new packages are always better when it comes to KDE :)
 some of us are still on 1080 lol
[01:20] <kaddi> I'm gonna have to disagree... I was one of the early adopters with kde4.... Newer definitely wasn't better then ;p
 that is a good point
 I've had very little issues in Plasma 5 though
[01:21] <kaddi> but honestly, with 5 it's been very smooth :)
 That is good :)
[01:23] <kaddi> k, i'll let you know the outcome tomorrow. XD 300MB of downloads on my connection can take hours *whistle*
 alright we'll be around
[01:25] <kaddi> :)
[04:02] <DarkDown> hello
[04:03] <netrunner_> hello
[04:03] <netrunner_> what are we talkingabout?
[04:04] <DarkDown> Hmm.... I"m exploring
[04:04] <DarkDown> I just got kubuntu installed about an hour ago, and this is my first time using this distro.
[04:04] <DarkDown> I"m loving it.
[04:06] <netrunner_> I have been putting a couple of linus OS like Mint, Knoppix on SD Cards and experimenting
[04:07] <netrunner_> Suse does everything off of a Sd Card but video
[04:12] <valorie> netrunner_: this is a support channel, so if we can help, just ask
[04:13] <valorie> for general chat with other users, we have #kubuntu-offtopic
[07:02] <jim__> need help for installation - when booting (start kubuntu) it eventually freezes on the kubuntu logo splash screen
[07:03] <hateball> !nomodeset | jim__
[07:09] <jim__> should i press 'e' and add the command or press 'c' nd do it from command-line?
[07:12] <hateball> jim__: e
[07:13] <hateball> jim__: removing quiet splash might show you more info why it stalls also
[07:32] <jim__> thanks hateball
[09:34] <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
[09:35] <omenius> I just want to hear some slick daft punk sound without poor youtube quality :(
[09:36] <buddhi> which version of windows ??
[09:36] <omenius> 10. Did not install it by myself..
[09:37] <buddhi> omenius: yah there is problem with win10 ... i guess u get some message while u try to access yu hdd
[09:38] <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.
[09:39] <omenius> my windows 8 was even the "yarrr" version, but that did not stop it upgrading by itself
[09:41] <omenius> I got it from my one eyed friend that always has his parrot with him
[09:57] <Ryan_Orz> I upgrade my kubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04, I found that ksnapshot and gwenview have conflict because of dependencies.
[10:00] <soee> Ryan_Orz: just did the same :)
[10:00] <soee> first of all remove ksnapshot and install spectacle
[10:01] <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/
[10:02] <soee> i think it was .config/khotkeysrc
[10:02] <soee> when it comes to gwenview, remove package called: libkipi-data
[10:03] <soee> then reinstall gwenview or run apt-get -f install
[10:04] <Ryan_Orz> is spectacle a rpm spec generator ?
[10:07] <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
[10:08] <soee> use spectacle form now on :)
[10:12] <Ryan_Orz> oh, I know the name of "spectacle" conflicts with that package. .... -_- !
[10:13] <Ryan_Orz> the package full name is "kde-spectacle" :D
[10:14] <Ryan_Orz> soee:  got it. kde-spectacle ^ v ^
[11:27] <meena> i made a huge mistake!
[11:27] <meena> i mean, hello o/~
[11:29] <hateball> Yes hello, do you have a question meena ?
[11:29] <meena> oh, right. i got distracted!
[11:29] <meena> I actually do:
[11:30] <meena> what is the recommended (as in: actually working) method to input emoji in Kde (other than copy/pasting it from the internet)
[11:32] <hateball> meena: there's no simple way really, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26747
[11:33]  * meena mumbles something about the year of the linux desktop
[11:35] <hateball> meena: well, there is kcharselect that is at least searchable
[11:35] <hateball> still means copy/paste
[11:35] <meena> hateball: why did this bug discend into a haskell vs c fight?
[11:35] <hateball> Unless you apply the workarounds using xmodmap
[11:35] <meena> why am i still reading it?
[11:35] <hateball> Up to you what you do with your time
[11:36] <meena> true.
[11:36]  * meena goes back to torturing themselves with mailserver setups
[11:36] <nofear> [19:56] Hi all
[11:36] <nofear> [19:57] Sorry to bother you guys, just need a lil info
[11:36] <nofear> [19:57] It's concerning Skype.
[11:36] <nofear> [19:58] I saw that Justin posted a comment on the forum mentioning that you guys are working on it and it's not too far off.
[11:36] <nofear> [19:58] Would it be possible to have some kind of timeline / tentative date please?
[11:37] <nofear> [20:00] Solus is installed on my in laws laptop and they use that mainly to keep in touch with family abroad via Skype. I would hate to keep looking for another distro for em, this one seems perfect albeit the Skype thing.
[11:39] <testtttttttttttt> hi
[11:40] <soee> hiho
[12:24] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:43] <Smurphy> Hia.
[13:53] <markslaw> I just installed the daily updates from kubuntu and rebooted. now, i'm completely without sound.. I've tried tweaking the settings in system settings/multimedia, but nothing so far. what am i missing?
[13:55] <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
[13:59] <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
[14:01] <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.
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <markslaw> no way this could affect audio, is there? what else could it be?
[14:05] <Pici> writing n cursive
[14:05] <hateball> markslaw: anything odd in dmesg ?
[14:05] <Pici> <.<
[14:12] <BluesKaj> markslaw, cat /proc/asound/modules
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <markslaw> BluesKaj: cat /proc/asound/modules returned 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_hda_intel 2 snd_ensl1371 3_snd_usb_adio
[14:28] <hallgrim> italiano
[14:35] <Smurphy> markslaw: tzdata is indeed the update for the current time-change we are going to have.
[14:46] <markslaw> still here, still no sound. any thoughts?
[14:48] <Smurphy> did dmesg tell you something about the sound ? Maybe you hit the  mute key.
[14:50] <markslaw> too easy. nothing muted, nothing playing. something got switched when i rebooted this morning, and I can't find it.
[14:52] <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.
[14:54] <Smurphy> How about your /boot directory being full, and the system was unable tro correctly build the initial-ramdisks which are loading the drivers ?
[14:55] <Smurphy> I have /boot on an own partitionl. This happens to me from time to time.
[15:00] <markslaw> nope. df /boot says it's only 36% full
[15:10] <Smurphy> ok. Weird then. What else did you change ?
[15:10] <Smurphy> touch ...
[15:13] <markslaw> nothing. i changed nothing. now, i'm trying alternate settings, but initially, I reebooted through the gui, the default reboot sound played, then NOTHING!
[16:14] <Smurphy> Weird. What device you havbe ?
[16:17] <jchonig> Hey folks, I'm trying to disable Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Kubuntu so I can pass it via KRDC to inferior OSes.  I found instructions for older versions of KDE/Kubuntu, but not for 14.04.  I can not find that key mapping in the settings.  Any suggestions?
[16:34] <Marti_2203> hello, i have a quick question
[16:34] <Pici> don't ask to ask, just ask.
[16:34] <Marti_2203> i want to install kubuntu, but i want it for personal use(internet and etc, normal stuff) mostly and developing
[16:34] <Marti_2203> i can do both with it right?
[16:34] <Pici> Sure.
[16:35] <Marti_2203> i mean using Gcc, LLVM
[16:35] <Marti_2203> that sort of things
[16:35] <Pici> Everything that is in the normal Ubuntu (server) repositories is available for Kubuntu and any other official flavor.
[16:35] <Marti_2203> ooh
[16:35] <Marti_2203> nice
[16:35] <Marti_2203> cool, thanks
[16:35] <Pici> np
[16:35] <Marti_2203> bye
[16:35] <Pici> Yay, I answered a Kubuntu question.
[16:45] <azarus_> Hey.
[16:47] <azarus_> I just wanted to know if there's any news on 16.04? Other flavors have had a good start, haven't heard anything from Kubuntu though.
[17:24] <yofel> azarus_: because there was a lot of work for the now rather small team and it took a while to finish everything. The beta this week will have pretty much everything.
[18:12] <insidious> anyone around?
[18:13] <insidious> I need some help with my blacklit
[18:13] <insidious> after update and reboot i cant get the blacklit to work
[21:56] <amri> Hey !
[21:57] <soee> ho!
 Hi ther
[21:58] <Ilisparrow> I have a question, is it a good place to ask ?
 Try us, as it depends on the question
[22:01] <soee> !ask
[22:01] <Ilisparrow> ok, what in your opinion is the best distro to have a good kde experience
[22:01] <Ilisparrow> ?
 Kubuntu
[22:01] <Ilisparrow> Kubuntu ? opensuse ?
[22:01] <soee> Kubuntu :D
 Of course if you ask that in #opensuse
[22:02] <aethersis> Kubuntu! 16.04 :D
 You'll proably get another answer
[22:02] <aethersis> it has wayland and the new plasma and it looks beautiful!
[22:02] <Ilisparrow> but when you go to KDE web site, open suse is a sponsor !
 When you got to Kubuntu website, we have a Party 😃
[22:04] <polaris> Is Gentoo a good KDE host?
[22:13] <heeen> how do you reorder pulseaudio devices
[22:14] <heeen> you used to be able to reorder them by preference
 heeen: System settings > multimedia
 Device preferences tab
 choose by catagory, and then set preference
