=== nathan_ is now known as tuxdude143
tuxdude143Ok so my surface pro 2 is running kubuntu just fine now after updating the kernel00:31
tuxdude143Seems that kernel 4.2 was the cause of my wifi crashing the whole system00:31
tuxdude143Only issue now is kubuntu thinks it can send audio over my mini display port and is using that as the defualt sound output source when I don't want that to be my default sound output source00:32
tuxdude143Is there any way to change that and remove the hdmi output entirely?00:32
tuxdude143For reference im using photon gstreamer00:33
tuxdude143Wait NVM I fixed it00:34

tux|dudeJust curious as for what twitter client recommendations you'd have for something using kubuntu04:44
valoriehmm04:44
valorieI just use it on the web and my phone04:45
valorieI think there is a desktop client though04:45
tux|dudethere are quite a few desktop clients. I'm just looking for a good one for linux lol04:45

tateri am curious if kubuntu has the spyware that ubuntu is known for?05:03
valorieno spyware05:03
valorieno scopes05:03
taterok great05:04
tux|dudeubuntu has spyware?05:08
valoriewell, some people characterized the shopping scope that way05:09
valoriedunno, I never liked or used Unity05:09
valorieI like gnome people, but not the desktop05:09
taterjust watched a youtube video about stallman talking about it05:10
taterwhile ubuntu does make money from amazon for it; i am not sure if i like canoncial selling my searching info to amazon05:10
taterand other companies05:11
valorieof course it can be turned off05:12
valorieor not used05:12
tateryeah with a simple command line for sure05:13
taterstallman failed to mention that :)05:13
tux|dudeI see05:13
tux|dudeWell I'm quite happy with Kubuntu05:14
valoriewell, stallman is rather generally unhappy with Ubuntu IMO05:15
tateri sure do like the GUI eye candy05:16
KrampusIs there a mouse setting that causes a "halo" around the pointer when over light backgrounds?05:17
KrampusI'm trying to figure out if I turned on somethign weird or if I have a really weird monitor problem.05:17
valorietater: me too05:17
valoriehmmm05:17
valorieI've never heard of that, Krampus05:17
tux|dudeKDE plasma 5 just looks amazing05:18
Krampusvalorie: it's a skylake NUC.  Maybe just a not quite supported chipset.  I'm in the process of jumping to xenial.05:18
valorieKrampus: I'm running xenial now, and am loving it05:20
taterah xenial is the beta?05:22
taterfor 1605:23
taterhow is it different from 15 valorie?05:23
valorieyes05:24
valorienewer plasma05:24
valoriealthough we don't have 5.6 yet05:25
valoriethat will have to wait for backport, as it was released too late, while xenial was frozen05:25
tateris there a way to see what version of kubuntu i am running on my machine?05:27
tateri tried uname - r but it just says 3.190-56 generic05:28
Krampusvalorie: my sound doesn't want to work at the moment either.  Hopefully this'll fix that as well.05:29
valoriesound is a complicated problem, sometimes05:30
tux|dudeKDE 5.5 has been backported to 15.1005:30
tux|dudeI'm running 5.5 on 15.1005:30
valorieright05:30
tux|dudeBut 5.6 or 5.6.1 aren't backported to 15.1005:30
valorieno05:31
valoriewe were getting the LTS finished05:31
valorie15.10 is only supported for about 3 more months05:31
valorieI doubt backports will be done05:31
valoriewe don't have the hours necessary to do everything needful right now05:32
taterhow many people code for kubuntu?05:37
tux|dudeYeah, I'm planning on updating to 16.04 basically the day it comes out as I need the LTS05:38
tateri am looking at the screenshot for kubuntu it looks like this - http://distrowatch.com/images/cgfjoewdlbc/kubuntu.png - is this a special theme? i ask because my default theme is not matching this?05:40
valoriethat is the standard desktop for 15.10, yes05:42
tux|dudeYeah05:42
tux|dudeKDE 5 looks like that as a standard05:42
tux|dudeQuite different to KDE 405:42
valoriePlasma 5, yes05:43
tux|dudeYeah plasma 505:43
tux|dudeI keep calling it kde 5 lol05:43

valorieyou'll be able to upgrade to the new LTS in a few months05:54
valoriecurrent regular version is 15.10 now05:55
tux|dudeYeah, LTS is on plasma 405:55
valorie16.04 comes out later this month05:55
valorie!release05:55
ubottuUbuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months (non-LTS) or 5 years (LTS). More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases05:55
tateroh ok so lts is using old version of kde05:56
taterbut lts catches up to it this month05:56
valorieright05:57
valorielts is all about stability05:57
taterah ok cool05:57
taterthat UX is very sexy looking05:57
valorieI love it05:58
taterto get the plasma 5 / kde 5 would i have to burn a new iso or can i upgrade while inside my lts version?05:59
valorieupgrade will be available at the 16.04.1 release06:00
valoriea couple of months after the main release06:01
valoriebut of course you can always get a current ISO06:01
taterok makes sense. if i wanted to write a widget for kde would i need to write it in python?06:03
tux|dudeI'm guessing I'll be able to update straight from 15.10 to 16.04?06:03
valorieyes, upgrade works well06:04
tux|dudeAwesome06:04
valorieI upgraded this laptop to the beta, no issues06:04

jonathan_zzWent to OpenSUSE in between lol.12:16
jonathan_zzthey still ran kde 4 in 13.2.12:16

r_riosHello, all. I've installed Plasma 5.5.4 from the Ubuntu backports, but, after I did that, I've got no audio.12:40
r_riosNo audio devices are detected. I think something may have gone misconfigured in the update, but how can I find out what it was?12:41
r_riosI'm running Kubuntu 15.1012:44
r_riosThe only audio output showing in KMix is "Fake output"12:44
r_riosActually, it's "Dummy output" (I think. In reality, it's "Saída fictícia", since my system is pt_br, so I'm not sure what's the original string in english for that)12:46
soeehmm this was known, there was sme workaroudn12:46
soeeBluesKaj: ^ do you remember this one ?12:46
BluesKajr_rios, what does aplay -l  show? need to know your audio chip12:48
soeesome fix was to add user to audio group i think12:49
r_riosBluesKaj: https://gist.github.com/romariorios/e90b9fba0e78de71e4db1310a743ec4812:50
r_riosI found this: https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/ubuntu-13-10-missing-audio-fix-no-sound-only-device-is-dummy-output/12:50
r_riosCould it help?12:50
r_riosI did what the article said and I'm restarting now12:50
r_riosNo good. It didn't work12:56
r_riosBluesKaj: Here's how my audio cards show up: http://wstaw.org/m/2016/04/03/ransom1.jpeg12:57
BluesKajyea soee,  r_rios, this the command to add yourself to the audio group, sudo adduser your_user_name audio12:57
BluesKajr_rios, also make sure in alsamixer that automute is disabled13:00
BluesKajr_rios, then for safety's sake run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, then reboot13:01
r_riosOkay, rebooting13:03

abhishekdoes upgrading kubuntu automatically upgrade kde as well?15:06
rodolfojcjyes. It will update to the version of KDE present in the repositories of the Kubuntu version you are upgrading to15:11
abhishekrodolfojcj: what the version I am upgrading from has a kde version greater than that is already in the repos in kubuntu?15:12

abhishekSay I using kubuntu 15.10 and neon and install kde 5.6. Now I upgrade to kubuntu 16.04 which doesn't support kde 5.615:16
rodolfojcjare you using this http://neon.kde.org/ ?15:23
rodolfojcjI'm also using Kubuntu 15.10 (no neon) and I see it uses Kde Frameworks 5.15.015:25
rodolfojcjand I see the next Kubuntu 16.04 will use version 5.18.015:25
rodolfojcjand it seems to me both are newer than version 5.6.015:26
rodolfojcjthat's that I interpret after seeing http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=wily&searchon=names&keywords=kded5 and http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kded5&searchon=names&suite=xenial&section=all15:27
abhishekrodolfojcj: I didn't understand how is 5.18 newer than 5.615:36

oYASoHi!   I have a strange problem with the login on Kubuntu 15.10.   My laptop turned off due to a discharged battery in standby mode. When I turned it on appeared problems. When a window appears enter password there are two ways that can happen. If I enter the password within a few seconds of the window appearing I get to the tty console with a request to enter a username and password.  If I don't put in a password, then for a split seco19:03
oYASoIf I don't put in a password, then for a split second appears on the console (I don't have time to read anything), and then again with the login box. Now if I enter my password, I successfully log in, but I cannot turn on/off network interfaces and switching between tty (if you press ctrl + alt + f1..f7, nothing happens).19:03
oYASoIf now I will terminate the session KDE and login again, network interfaces and tty work well, but if I close my laptop's and open it again, the password dialog will not be displayed.19:03
oYASoWhat could be the problem and where to look?   Thanks in advance!19:04
taterwhats up. does anyone have any alternatives to jing for kubuntu - gist of jing is it records videos of your desktop and uploads it to cloud + provides shareable url for free20:21
tater(and loving that kubuntu comes with K torrent out of the box)20:22
Fritigerntater: OBS can record your desktop, your games, but can also stream to Twitch and some other streaming services. https://obsproject.com/download#linux20:27
taterthanks Fritigern i will check it out now20:35
tateri am getting a notification that a system update is available, and i get the notification on the bottom panel. i am used to clicking that message to open up the application to run the update - is that not possible in kubuntu?20:36

tux|dudeWell I had been using kubuntu for around 3 hours yesterday at my usual workload and the battery was at around 60 percent after21:03
