emLook at this, very often when I resume using Kubuntu after I've not been using it a while, my entire desktop is messed up with random stuff all over and added randomly to the  pannel: http://i.imgur.com/0wYFlY3.jpg02:47
embasically no one can explain this one but I think it makes kubuntu unuseable, sad to say.02:47

JediMasterhi guys, I can consistently break the window manager by taking a screenshot, every time I take a screenshot, which takes both 4k monitors in one image, so I set it to retake the screenshot with the window under the cursor, as I do, the window decorations all vanish (top bar, resize etc) from every window, any idea what causes it to crash, or how to debug it a bit more?09:50
JediMasterI can recover from it by hitting alt-f2 then running konsole then: nohup kwin_x11 --replace &09:51
JediMasterI can also verify it doesn't break it if I just take a normal screenshot and save it, it's only the Capture mode: Window Under Cursor while taking a screenshot of Google Chrome09:52

JediMasterkist did it again and got a Segmentation fault with a core dump09:53
JediMasterhowever it seemed to recover the window manager as everything flickered09:54
hateballJediMaster: is this 15.10 ?09:57
JediMasterhateball, yes10:00

AaranHi, I just installed kubuntu-desktop and was wondering if there is a fix for the missing icon images in the "start menu"11:49
hateballAaran: What objects are missing icons?11:51
AaranFirefox11:51
AaranThunderbird, imagemagik, Additional Drivers11:52
Aaranto name a few11:52
hateballhmmm, how odd11:52
hateballAaran: are the icons missing if you press alt+space to bring up krunner, then type firefox?11:52
Aaranfor applications firefox webbrowser yes,  however the shortcut its finding in the windows section does have an icon11:53
hateballAaran: can you rightclick the "start menu" and edit it11:54
hateballSee if you can locate the firefox entry and change the icon11:55
AaranAll I see is remove and sort if I right click11:55
hateballAaran: I am talking about the menu itself, not the entries in it11:55
hateballthe button for it11:55
AaranOk well from that menu "KDE Menu Editor" I can see a firefox icon11:56
AaranStrange I can choose another icon which works but if I pick firefox it just displays a blank icon11:57
AaranUgh I will leave it until after lunch, thanks11:58
BluesKajHi folks12:22
yossarianukHi - running 15.10, I have a Asus laptop with hybrid graphics (optimus?) intel integrated and nvidia discrete - if I install the nvidia driver (any version) I just get a black screen on reboot (most of the time, randomly it works)12:23
yossarianuksounds like this -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34367412:23
ubottuKDE bug 343674 in general "Plasma is brought down by libqxcb segfaults with the screen locked & switched off" [Grave,Needsinfo: waitingforinfo]12:23
hateballyossarianuk: tried 364.12 from PPA?12:24
yossarianukYes12:24
hateball:/12:24
yossarianukdmesg shows sddm crash12:25
BluesKajyossarianuk, got nvidia-prime installed ?12:25
yossarianukyes I have12:25
BluesKajwhich gpu , yossarianuk?12:25
yossarianuknvidia = 960M12:25
hateballyossarianuk: those comments on the bug about kscreen, are they relevant for you?12:25
BluesKajahh yeah , a constant problem those 960 and 970Ms12:26
yossarianukhateball: possibly, I tried removing   .local/share/kscreen and sometimes it loads12:27
yossarianuknot tried other desktops yet - is this an sddm bug ?12:28
yossarianukAnd is this likely to be fixed in 1604?12:32
hateballWell you're about to find out soon :p12:36
yossarianukhateball: very true...12:44
yossarianukare you aware is it a kde/sddm only issue?12:44
hateballI've no idea, as I dont use any hybrid graphics12:45
hateballI have no issues with my nvidia desktop, fwiw12:45
yossarianuki have nvidia on my desktop also (and have had for over 10 years) and its fine12:47
yossarianukthis is a new work laptop..12:47
yossarianukI guess one way of finding out would be to install ubuntu...12:50
yossarianukas its a work laptop i don't really need nvidia however its annoying that i'm wasting 2GB of VGA ram i could be using..12:51
GreenDayhello12:52
hateballyossarianuk: if you feel adventurous you could do-release-upgrade -d, see if 16.04 works better12:55
yossarianukhateball: its my work laptop so cannot really unfortunately12:57
meenacan someone please tell me how to get rid of this: https://i.imgur.com/Hz0fhVA.png13:36
meenai've already uninstalled plasma-discover, plasma-discover-updates, software-properties-kde, and whatnot, and this thing still keeps popping up13:37
meenaI DON"T WANT FLASH. for realz.13:37
hateballI am trying to remember what the name of that package is13:44
hateballupdate... helper... notifier... something13:44
hateballmeena: ah yes, kubuntu-notification-helper13:46
meenaupdate-notifier-common ← ?13:46
* meena kills it all with fire13:46
meenahateball: i'm fine with getting notifications for crashes and stuff, but not for… this.13:47
hateballI've only removed kubuntu-notification-helper and havent missed anything I can recall13:48
hateballthere was some bug in 15.10 that caused me to have to remove it iirc13:48
hateballand then I just... never installed it again13:48
meenaomg. i can make it all go away. with one click. http://i.imgur.com/2ynkRj8.png13:50
meenathanks hateball, and because i haven't had enough today, i'ma reboot again,…13:51
hateball:D13:51
meenaI AM FREEEEE!13:56
meenanow to find out why reboots take literally forever.13:56
* meena looks at /var/log/boot.log13:58
* meena cries13:58
scagHi, whats the default login manager with kde? I have some conflict somewhere which is causing a black screen at login if you leave it too long14:03
lordievadermeena: Perhaps 'sudo systemd-analyze blame' can tell you.14:03
=== struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk
scagI have 4 packages which appear when looking for login manager in synaptic package manager "login" "gnome-session-bin" "kde-config-sddm" "gnome-session-common"14:04
scagShould I get rid of the nome related ones?14:05
scag*gnome14:05
hateballscag: if you are on 15.10, you should be using sddm and nothing else14:06
meenahateball: i disagree :( sddm doesn't let you set x options to fix up dpi. i had to install lightdm for that14:07
scagOk well there is something causing a conflict whats the best way to figure out whats causing the black screen at login prompt14:08
meenabecause in the year of our linux desktop, 2016, x still doesn't know what your dpi should be… or that it should enable subpixel rendering on lcd screens.14:08
hateballmeena: Right, I should have said "it's the default in kubuntu"14:08
hateballand if you choose anything else, you should know why :)14:08
jubo2Kubuntu16.04: Really good idea to make 2 rows of apps in the panel. I like to keep it bigger so I can see the CPU load, speed and and memory usage with numbers and graphics14:09
meenahateball: ay, sorry. still bitter about this one. i've used this laptop for 4 years now, and only for half a year can i read things on it14:09
hateballheh14:10
meenalordievader: btw, that's good for booting, but not for powering down.14:24
lordievaderAh, did I jump to conclusions, sorry ;)14:25
lordievaderI suppose you could spit through the logs of the previous boot.14:26
meenalordievader: the thing that takes longest at bootup is me typing in crypt password and kwallet14:26
lordievaderHeh, same here. I am the slowest factor in the boot process.14:26
meenaok. so… how do i do that? journalctl? blah?14:27
lordievadermeena: First check if the logs of previous boots are available: journalctl --list-boots14:28
lordievaderIf there are journalctl -b -1 for the previous boot.14:29
meena 0 9e30cce947794ceb972c619e0391a1c6 Mit 2016-03-30 16:23:25 CEST—Mit 2016-03-30 16:28:14 CEST14:29
meenalordievader: so, how do i make them available?14:29
lordievaderIf it is just zero then journald is not setup to save logs to disk.14:29
lordievaderEdit /etc/systemd/journald.conf14:29
meenathat's a great default. glad i'm not running this thing on a server…14:30
lordievaderNever really understood why it defaults to volatile...14:33
meenalordievader:  Defaults to "auto".14:34
lordievaderThat usually selects volatile ;)14:34
* meena reboots again la la14:35

meenahere we go. https://gist.github.com/8be40adf1061ca84ca81476d967d966414:53
lordievaderIt times out on a couple of dm's.14:58
meenathose are the two disks that i have in my luks setup.14:59
meenado i have to reorder something?15:02
lordievaderErr, I'm not really sure how to fix these kinds of problems.15:02
meenalemme wrap my head around this… mess.15:03
meenaok so: /dev/sdb1 → efi, /dev/sdb2 → /boot. /dev/sdb3 + /dev/sda1 == cryptsetup. which then provides /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-2 respectively, which are then together in a pv and vg and make up / and swap15:07
lordievaderWhat I think is that systemd tries to unmount something which is still in use or something.15:08
meenathat's exactly it. it cannot unmount /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-2 before it hasn't unmounted everything else.15:08
localuserCould someone please explain how I enable ldap username/password entry at the sddm login screen?15:08
meenalocaluser: see /etc/sddm.conf15:09
localuserbecause its only showing localuser and I am having to login with that and not my ldap credentials15:09
localuserI looked in there but did not see anything I also tried google without any success15:10
meenaoh, ldap.15:10
localuserI tried this http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/222626/allow-username-input-sddm-ldap-kerberos15:13
localuserbut could not get it to work15:13
localuserMethod 2, I could not find the SDDM init script to try method 115:13
meenalocaluser: how's your ldap setup?15:13
localuserconnecting using something called centrify15:13
localuserIt worked fine in the gnome login manager and the lightdm login manager15:14
localuserI think if I can just have the option to input username and password rather than an icon for "localuser" than it would be fine15:15
localusercd /etc/rc.d15:15
localuserls15:15
localuseruups ...15:15
localuserits ok I will just swap over to LXDM, thanks anywa15:18
eeoswhat is the default root password in mariaDB in kubuntu?15:23
BluesKajeeos, there isn't one unless you gave it a pw15:26
eeosBluesKaj: mmmm .... OK, so how do you login????15:27
eeosBluesKaj: if you try to ogin as any other user, the access is denied.15:27
BluesKajeeos, probly with sudo then your user pw15:27
eeosBluesKaj: I have kept the deafult installation.15:27
eeossudo mysql?15:28
BluesKajakonadi-server15:28
BluesKaj?15:28
eeosBluesKaj: why akonadi?15:29
BluesKajeeos, nm, thought you were using kmail PIM etc15:32
lordievadereeos: With 'mysql -u root' you don't get access to your db?15:34
KNRO_any PPA for 5.6 for 16.04?15:38
BluesKajKNRO_, not yet15:39
eeosBluesKaj: OK .... did sudo mysql15:48
eeosBluesKaj: then created a user and granted all priviliges on the db ....15:48
eeosBluesKaj: I would say better info and an installation process where ti does require root password would be useful, instead of relying on guesswork + sudo ....15:48
lordievadereeos: For that you have documentation... no guesswork involved.15:51
lordievaderBesides you shouldn't need sudo for running a mysql-client.15:51
KNRO_BluesKaj: I presume 5.6 will not make to to 16.04 so we'd have to rely on some PPA?15:52
eeoslordievader: unless the documentation is not accessible through google, I could not find it .... and as you can see from the results of searchers, there are thousands of people who had the same problem15:52
eeoslordievader: so it must be an issue for everybody15:52
eeoslordievader: I had to use sudo mysql .... it is impossible to login using "mysql"15:53
lordievadereeos: Like I said 'mysql -u root'.15:53
eeoslordievader: as said, it does not work at all15:54
lordievaderThe user argument defaults to the user executing the command, with sudo that is root hence '$ mysql -u root' and '# mysql' is the same.15:54
eeoslordievader: no, it s not and it does not work15:54
lordievaderHmm, odd.15:55
eeoslordievader: ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost15:55
eeoslordievader: this is what you get15:55
eeoslordievader: really do not understand the reason to make things so complicated and user unfriendly15:55
clueskeehi folks15:57
eeosto clarify, I have more than 10year experience as system admin .... I would like to live like a noob for 4 weeks, to see what it is like .... I am two weeks in, and I have to say that it is really hard .... we are making life nigh to impossible15:57
