[00:43] 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] 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] sorry, I got disconnected.. Did anyone reply while I was gone? [01:00] : There is a scaling setting somewhere [01:00] : I know all the graphics are svg so they scale [01:04] 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] on the next login, it just ignored the scale setting [01:04] and went back to the miniature look [01:05] I'm back to using a 1900x1080 resolution instead of the large one [01:06] : Mm odd I know 5.4 or 5.5 added more support for high resolution [01:07] 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] : What version are you on 15.10? [01:09] 5.15 apparently [01:10] : 5.15? [01:11] myrti@mytree:~$ kdeinit5 --version [01:11] Qt: 5.4.2 [01:11] KDE: 5.15.0 [01:11] : Kubuntu 15.10? [01:11] using kubuntu 15.10 [01:11] ah [01:11] sorry [01:11] : did you add the backport ppa? [01:13] no, i don't think so [01:14] : it adds more updated packages that did not make it into the release [01:14] : I'll grab the blog post [01:14] thx [01:15] : http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2015/kubuntu-kde-5-4-3-bugfix-release-available-now-in-wily-backports/ [01:16] : a blog page from our awesome dev scarlett [01:18] and 5.4.3 is better for high DPI screens? [01:19] : it could be, not sure tbh but new packages are always better when it comes to KDE :) [01:19] : some of us are still on 1080 lol [01:20] I'm gonna have to disagree... I was one of the early adopters with kde4.... Newer definitely wasn't better then ;p [01:20] : that is a good point [01:21] : I've had very little issues in Plasma 5 though [01:21] but honestly, with 5 it's been very smooth :) [01:22] : That is good :) [01:23] k, i'll let you know the outcome tomorrow. XD 300MB of downloads on my connection can take hours *whistle* [01:23] : alright we'll be around [01:25] :) === jade is now known as Guest28043 [04:02] hello [04:03] hello [04:03] what are we talkingabout? [04:04] Hmm.... I"m exploring [04:04] I just got kubuntu installed about an hour ago, and this is my first time using this distro. [04:04] I"m loving it. [04:06] I have been putting a couple of linus OS like Mint, Knoppix on SD Cards and experimenting [04:07] Suse does everything off of a Sd Card but video [04:12] netrunner_: this is a support channel, so if we can help, just ask [04:13] for general chat with other users, we have #kubuntu-offtopic === L is now known as Guest37424 [07:02] need help for installation - when booting (start kubuntu) it eventually freezes on the kubuntu logo splash screen [07:03] !nomodeset | jim__ [07:03] 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 [07:09] should i press 'e' and add the command or press 'c' nd do it from command-line? [07:12] jim__: e [07:13] jim__: removing quiet splash might show you more info why it stalls also [07:32] thanks hateball === zippy is now known as Guest30750 === Steffstoff_ is now known as Steffstoff [09:34] after booting windows, I can't acess my HDD from within kubuntu [09:34] it's just files, no OS or anything [09:34] windows why u do this [09:35] I just want to hear some slick daft punk sound without poor youtube quality :( [09:36] which version of windows ?? [09:36] 10. Did not install it by myself.. [09:37] omenius: yah there is problem with win10 ... i guess u get some message while u try to access yu hdd [09:38] 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] i downgraded to win7 immidiately after facing this problem. [09:39] my windows 8 was even the "yarrr" version, but that did not stop it upgrading by itself [09:41] I got it from my one eyed friend that always has his parrot with him [09:57] I upgrade my kubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04, I found that ksnapshot and gwenview have conflict because of dependencies. [10:00] Ryan_Orz: just did the same :) [10:00] first of all remove ksnapshot and install spectacle [10:01] 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] i think it was .config/khotkeysrc [10:02] when it comes to gwenview, remove package called: libkipi-data [10:03] then reinstall gwenview or run apt-get -f install [10:04] is spectacle a rpm spec generator ? [10:07] ok, in fact my system works well, just cannot use ksnapshot :D [10:07] spectacle is new tool for taking screenshots [10:07] ksnapshot is obsolate [10:08] use spectacle form now on :) [10:12] oh, I know the name of "spectacle" conflicts with that package. .... -_- ! [10:13] the package full name is "kde-spectacle" :D [10:14] soee: got it. kde-spectacle ^ v ^ === TheCacapichybre is now known as TheCapichef === fewcha_ is now known as fewcha [11:27] i made a huge mistake! [11:27] i mean, hello o/~ [11:29] Yes hello, do you have a question meena ? [11:29] oh, right. i got distracted! [11:29] I actually do: [11:30] what is the recommended (as in: actually working) method to input emoji in Kde (other than copy/pasting it from the internet) [11:32] meena: there's no simple way really, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26747 [11:32] Freedesktop bug 26747 in Lib/Xlib "X does not allow input of Unicode characters using Ctrl+Shift followed by the character code" [Enhancement,New] [11:33] * meena mumbles something about the year of the linux desktop [11:35] meena: well, there is kcharselect that is at least searchable [11:35] still means copy/paste [11:35] hateball: why did this bug discend into a haskell vs c fight? [11:35] Unless you apply the workarounds using xmodmap [11:35] why am i still reading it? [11:35] Up to you what you do with your time [11:36] true. [11:36] * meena goes back to torturing themselves with mailserver setups [11:36] [19:56] Hi all [11:36] [19:57] Sorry to bother you guys, just need a lil info [11:36] [19:57] It's concerning Skype. [11:36] [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] [19:58] Would it be possible to have some kind of timeline / tentative date please? [11:37] [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.

[13:53] 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] markslaw: what "daily updates" were these? Have a look in /var/log/apt/history* [13:55] In the case of a kernel update, try booting an older one [13:59] 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] markslaw, if it's an intel audio driver try, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, and reboot [14:01] 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] 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] no way this could affect audio, is there? what else could it be? [14:05] writing n cursive [14:05] markslaw: anything odd in dmesg ? [14:05] <.< [14:12] markslaw, cat /proc/asound/modules [14:21] 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] BluesKaj: cat /proc/asound/modules returned 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_hda_intel 2 snd_ensl1371 3_snd_usb_adio [14:28] italiano [14:35] markslaw: tzdata is indeed the update for the current time-change we are going to have. === stefano_ is now known as icemanbp === Creto__ is now known as Creto_ [14:46] still here, still no sound. any thoughts? [14:48] did dmesg tell you something about the sound ? Maybe you hit the mute key. [14:50] too easy. nothing muted, nothing playing. something got switched when i rebooted this morning, and I can't find it. [14:52] 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] 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] I have /boot on an own partitionl. This happens to me from time to time. [15:00] nope. df /boot says it's only 36% full === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [15:10] ok. Weird then. What else did you change ? [15:10] touch ... [15:13] nothing. i changed nothing. now, i'm trying alternate settings, but initially, I reebooted through the gui, the default reboot sound played, then NOTHING! === cdu13a__ is now known as cdu13a === cdu13a is now known as cdu13a_ === cdu13a_ is now known as cdu13a [16:14] Weird. What device you havbe ? [16:17] 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] hello, i have a quick question [16:34] don't ask to ask, just ask. [16:34] i want to install kubuntu, but i want it for personal use(internet and etc, normal stuff) mostly and developing [16:34] i can do both with it right? [16:34] Sure. [16:35] i mean using Gcc, LLVM [16:35] that sort of things [16:35] Everything that is in the normal Ubuntu (server) repositories is available for Kubuntu and any other official flavor. [16:35] ooh [16:35] nice [16:35] cool, thanks [16:35] np [16:35] bye [16:35] Yay, I answered a Kubuntu question. [16:45] Hey. [16:47] I just wanted to know if there's any news on 16.04?
