[02:47] <em> Look 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.jpg
[02:47] <em> basically no one can explain this one but I think it makes kubuntu unuseable, sad to say.

[09:50] <JediMaster> hi 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?
[09:51] <JediMaster> I can recover from it by hitting alt-f2 then running konsole then: nohup kwin_x11 --replace &
[09:52] <JediMaster> I 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 Chrome
[09:53] <JediMaster> kist did it again and got a Segmentation fault with a core dump
[09:54] <JediMaster> however it seemed to recover the window manager as everything flickered
[09:57] <hateball> JediMaster: is this 15.10 ?
[10:00] <JediMaster> hateball, yes
 Hi em
 Have you tried using the Lock Widgets function
 I had this trouble too
 So I  set my desktop up with all my widgets, and then locked them
 Be interesting to know if that works for you on 16.04
 😃
[11:49] <Aaran> Hi, I just installed kubuntu-desktop and was wondering if there is a fix for the missing icon images in the "start menu"
[11:51] <hateball> Aaran: What objects are missing icons?
[11:51] <Aaran> Firefox
[11:52] <Aaran> Thunderbird, imagemagik, Additional Drivers
[11:52] <Aaran> to name a few
[11:52] <hateball> hmmm, how odd
[11:52] <hateball> Aaran: are the icons missing if you press alt+space to bring up krunner, then type firefox?
[11:53] <Aaran> for applications firefox webbrowser yes,  however the shortcut its finding in the windows section does have an icon
[11:54] <hateball> Aaran: can you rightclick the "start menu" and edit it
[11:55] <hateball> See if you can locate the firefox entry and change the icon
[11:55] <Aaran> All I see is remove and sort if I right click
[11:55] <hateball> Aaran: I am talking about the menu itself, not the entries in it
[11:55] <hateball> the button for it
[11:56] <Aaran> Ok well from that menu "KDE Menu Editor" I can see a firefox icon
[11:57] <Aaran> Strange I can choose another icon which works but if I pick firefox it just displays a blank icon
[11:58] <Aaran> Ugh I will leave it until after lunch, thanks
[12:22] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:23] <yossarianuk> Hi - 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] <yossarianuk> sounds like this -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343674
[12:24] <hateball> yossarianuk: tried 364.12 from PPA?
[12:24] <yossarianuk> Yes
[12:24] <hateball> :/
[12:25] <yossarianuk> dmesg shows sddm crash
[12:25] <BluesKaj> yossarianuk, got nvidia-prime installed ?
[12:25] <yossarianuk> yes I have
[12:25] <BluesKaj> which gpu , yossarianuk?
[12:25] <yossarianuk> nvidia = 960M
[12:25] <hateball> yossarianuk: those comments on the bug about kscreen, are they relevant for you?
[12:26] <BluesKaj> ahh yeah , a constant problem those 960 and 970Ms
[12:27] <yossarianuk> hateball: possibly, I tried removing   .local/share/kscreen and sometimes it loads
[12:28] <yossarianuk> not tried other desktops yet - is this an sddm bug ?
[12:32] <yossarianuk> And is this likely to be fixed in 1604?
[12:36] <hateball> Well you're about to find out soon :p
[12:44] <yossarianuk> hateball: very true...
[12:44] <yossarianuk> are you aware is it a kde/sddm only issue?
[12:45] <hateball> I've no idea, as I dont use any hybrid graphics
[12:45] <hateball> I have no issues with my nvidia desktop, fwiw
[12:47] <yossarianuk> i have nvidia on my desktop also (and have had for over 10 years) and its fine
[12:47] <yossarianuk> this is a new work laptop..
[12:50] <yossarianuk> I guess one way of finding out would be to install ubuntu...
[12:51] <yossarianuk> as 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..
[12:52] <GreenDay> hello
[12:55] <hateball> yossarianuk: if you feel adventurous you could do-release-upgrade -d, see if 16.04 works better
[12:57] <yossarianuk> hateball: its my work laptop so cannot really unfortunately
[13:36] <meena> can someone please tell me how to get rid of this: https://i.imgur.com/Hz0fhVA.png
[13:37] <meena> i've already uninstalled plasma-discover, plasma-discover-updates, software-properties-kde, and whatnot, and this thing still keeps popping up
[13:37] <meena> I DON"T WANT FLASH. for realz.
[13:44] <hateball> I am trying to remember what the name of that package is
[13:44] <hateball> update... helper... notifier... something
[13:46] <hateball> meena: ah yes, kubuntu-notification-helper
[13:46] <meena> update-notifier-common ← ?
[13:46]  * meena kills it all with fire
[13:47] <meena> hateball: i'm fine with getting notifications for crashes and stuff, but not for… this.
[13:48] <hateball> I've only removed kubuntu-notification-helper and havent missed anything I can recall
[13:48] <hateball> there was some bug in 15.10 that caused me to have to remove it iirc
[13:48] <hateball> and then I just... never installed it again
[13:50] <meena> omg. i can make it all go away. with one click. http://i.imgur.com/2ynkRj8.png
[13:51] <meena> thanks hateball, and because i haven't had enough today, i'ma reboot again,…
[13:51] <hateball> :D
[13:56] <meena> I AM FREEEEE!
[13:56] <meena> now to find out why reboots take literally forever.
[13:58]  * meena looks at /var/log/boot.log
[13:58]  * meena cries
[14:03] <scag> Hi, 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 long
[14:03] <lordievader> meena: Perhaps 'sudo systemd-analyze blame' can tell you.
[14:04] <scag> I have 4 packages which appear when looking for login manager in synaptic package manager "login" "gnome-session-bin" "kde-config-sddm" "gnome-session-common"
[14:05] <scag> Should I get rid of the nome related ones?
[14:05] <scag> *gnome
[14:06] <hateball> scag: if you are on 15.10, you should be using sddm and nothing else
[14:07] <meena> hateball: i disagree :( sddm doesn't let you set x options to fix up dpi. i had to install lightdm for that
[14:08] <scag> Ok well there is something causing a conflict whats the best way to figure out whats causing the black screen at login prompt
[14:08] <meena> because 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] <hateball> meena: Right, I should have said "it's the default in kubuntu"
[14:08] <hateball> and if you choose anything else, you should know why :)
[14:09] <jubo2> Kubuntu16.04: 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 graphics
[14:09] <meena> hateball: 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 it
[14:10] <hateball> heh
[14:24] <meena> lordievader: btw, that's good for booting, but not for powering down.
[14:25] <lordievader> Ah, did I jump to conclusions, sorry ;)
[14:26] <lordievader> I suppose you could spit through the logs of the previous boot.
[14:26] <meena> lordievader: the thing that takes longest at bootup is me typing in crypt password and kwallet
[14:26] <lordievader> Heh, same here. I am the slowest factor in the boot process.
[14:27] <meena> ok. so… how do i do that? journalctl? blah?
[14:28] <lordievader> meena: First check if the logs of previous boots are available: journalctl --list-boots
[14:29] <lordievader> If 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 CEST
[14:29] <meena> lordievader: so, how do i make them available?
[14:29] <lordievader> If it is just zero then journald is not setup to save logs to disk.
[14:29] <lordievader> Edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[14:30] <meena> that's a great default. glad i'm not running this thing on a server…
[14:33] <lordievader> Never really understood why it defaults to volatile...
[14:34] <meena> lordievader:  Defaults to "auto".
[14:34] <lordievader> That usually selects volatile ;)
[14:35]  * meena reboots again la la
[14:53] <meena> here we go. https://gist.github.com/8be40adf1061ca84ca81476d967d9664
[14:58] <lordievader> It times out on a couple of dm's.
[14:59] <meena> those are the two disks that i have in my luks setup.
[15:02] <meena> do i have to reorder something?
[15:02] <lordievader> Err, I'm not really sure how to fix these kinds of problems.
[15:03] <meena> lemme wrap my head around this… mess.
[15:07] <meena> ok 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 swap
[15:08] <lordievader> What I think is that systemd tries to unmount something which is still in use or something.
[15:08] <meena> that's exactly it. it cannot unmount /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-2 before it hasn't unmounted everything else.
[15:08] <localuser> Could someone please explain how I enable ldap username/password entry at the sddm login screen?
[15:09] <meena> localuser: see /etc/sddm.conf
[15:09] <localuser> because its only showing localuser and I am having to login with that and not my ldap credentials
[15:10] <localuser> I looked in there but did not see anything I also tried google without any success
[15:10] <meena> oh, ldap.
[15:13] <localuser> I tried this http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/222626/allow-username-input-sddm-ldap-kerberos
[15:13] <localuser> but could not get it to work
[15:13] <localuser> Method 2, I could not find the SDDM init script to try method 1
[15:13] <meena> localuser: how's your ldap setup?
[15:13] <localuser> connecting using something called centrify
[15:14] <localuser> It worked fine in the gnome login manager and the lightdm login manager
[15:15] <localuser> I think if I can just have the option to input username and password rather than an icon for "localuser" than it would be fine
[15:15] <localuser> cd /etc/rc.d
[15:15] <localuser> ls
[15:15] <localuser> uups ...
[15:18] <localuser> its ok I will just swap over to LXDM, thanks anywa
[15:23] <eeos> what is the default root password in mariaDB in kubuntu?
[15:26] <BluesKaj> eeos, there isn't one unless you gave it a pw
[15:27] <eeos> BluesKaj: mmmm .... OK, so how do you login????
[15:27] <eeos> BluesKaj: if you try to ogin as any other user, the access is denied.
[15:27] <BluesKaj> eeos, probly with sudo then your user pw
[15:27] <eeos> BluesKaj: I have kept the deafult installation.
[15:28] <eeos> sudo mysql?
[15:28] <BluesKaj> akonadi-server
[15:28] <BluesKaj> ?
[15:29] <eeos> BluesKaj: why akonadi?
[15:32] <BluesKaj> eeos, nm, thought you were using kmail PIM etc
[15:34] <lordievader> eeos: With 'mysql -u root' you don't get access to your db?
[15:38] <KNRO_> any PPA for 5.6 for 16.04?
[15:39] <BluesKaj> KNRO_, not yet
[15:48] <eeos> BluesKaj: OK .... did sudo mysql
[15:48] <eeos> BluesKaj: then created a user and granted all priviliges on the db ....
[15:48] <eeos> BluesKaj: I would say better info and an installation process where ti does require root password would be useful, instead of relying on guesswork + sudo ....
[15:51] <lordievader> eeos: For that you have documentation... no guesswork involved.
[15:51] <lordievader> Besides you shouldn't need sudo for running a mysql-client.
[15:52] <KNRO_> BluesKaj: I presume 5.6 will not make to to 16.04 so we'd have to rely on some PPA?
[15:52] <eeos> lordievader: 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 problem
[15:52] <eeos> lordievader: so it must be an issue for everybody
[15:53] <eeos> lordievader: I had to use sudo mysql .... it is impossible to login using "mysql"
[15:53] <lordievader> eeos: Like I said 'mysql -u root'.
[15:54] <eeos> lordievader: as said, it does not work at all
[15:54] <lordievader> The 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] <eeos> lordievader: no, it s not and it does not work
[15:55] <lordievader> Hmm, odd.
[15:55] <eeos> lordievader: ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost
[15:55] <eeos> lordievader: this is what you get
[15:55] <eeos> lordievader: really do not understand the reason to make things so complicated and user unfriendly
[15:57] <clueskee> hi folks
[15:57] <eeos> to 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 impossible
[15:58] <clueskee> how to install everpad(evernote client) on kubuntu 15.10? i google it but found nothing
[16:10] <clueskee> how to install everpad(evernote client) on kubuntu 15.10? i google it but found nothing
[16:11] <genii> clueskee: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvbn-rm/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install everpad
[16:11] <clueskee> sudo apt install everpad not working
[16:12] <clueskee> it tell that can't find everpad :<
[16:12] <genii> Let me check the ppa
[16:14] <genii> Yes, everpad last built 64 weeks ago
[16:17] <clueskee> so? i must wait for new built?
[16:20] <genii> Yes.
[16:20] <genii> Alternately, if you don't mind Emacs, there is evernote-mode
[16:21] <genii> !info evernote-mode
[16:26] <clueskee> Emcas evernote is not so easy as everpad, but i think i will try it :)
[19:32] <kyle> Hi there, just like to know what is path to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.10?
[19:32] <Guest94426> Hi there, just like to know what is path to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.10?
[19:33] <Guest94426> actually 14.04 to 15.10
 If you wait until 16.04 is released you can just upgrade straight from one to the other
 as they're LTS
 You'll be notified about this by the Update Manger
[19:36] <Guest94426> thanks
[19:47] <Bob2016> hey.  plasmashell and krunner aren't starting automatically when i login.  can anyone help?
[20:35] <mparillo> Does LTS to LTS upgrade wait until .1?
[20:41] <genii> mparillo: Yep
[21:38] <vertago1> Anyone figured out how to work around the plasmashell crashes in kubuntu 16.04?
[21:44] <nabila> hi
[21:45] <nabila> any one get my msg?
[21:46] <GreenDay> nope
[22:48] <meena> ok… so… how the heck do i debug this crypt-dm stall on shutdown / reboot?
[22:48] <meena> vertago1: i "just" restart it…
[22:49] <meena> vertago1: what i have figured out so far is that it basically comes from me trying to do anything web-cam related in firefox… then starting chrom(ium|e) because it didn't work
[22:50] <meena> anyway bed time o/~
[23:25] <miked> How do I get the battery level to display next to clock?
[23:30] <vertago1> meena mine just crashes randomly after I have been running it for a while.
