[00:31] <tuxdude143> Ok so my surface pro 2 is running kubuntu just fine now after updating the kernel
[00:31] <tuxdude143> Seems that kernel 4.2 was the cause of my wifi crashing the whole system
[00:32] <tuxdude143> Only 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 source
[00:32] <tuxdude143> Is there any way to change that and remove the hdmi output entirely?
[00:33] <tuxdude143> For reference im using photon gstreamer
[00:34] <tuxdude143> Wait NVM I fixed it
[01:33] <mirko_> Hey... :)
[01:35] <mirko_> Can anyone help me with fixing a problem in Kubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[01:36] <floown> Hello
[01:36] <mirko_> Hey :)
[01:36] <floown> I search a task manager for Plasma
[01:37] <floown> mirko_: expose your problem, perhaps I can help you
[01:38] <mirko_> Okay flown. Problem is the "Shutdown" Command in the Terminal. When I execute that my Notebook doesnt shut down. It stop on the Kubuntu logo
[01:43] <mirko_> floown look here http://www.ubuntufree.com/download-ubuntu-15-04-flavors-kubuntu-lubuntu-ubuntu-mate-and-more/xubuntu-task-manager/
[01:44] <floown> mirko_: sorry, I wanted to say : (for add several work tasks, to create a bill for my clients)
[01:44] <mirko_> Ahhh okay.
[01:45] <floown> for example, calculate the time I have pass to create a illustration in Gimp
[01:45] <mirko_> floown maybe this: http://nitrotasks.com/#
[01:46] <floown> mirko_: cool, thx
[01:47] <mirko_> I`m glad if this helps :)
[01:49] <mirko_> Already found something for my problem as well. :)
[01:54] <floown> mirko_: to shutdown a PC, you must use sudo shutdown now
[01:54] <floown> sudo reboot now       to reboot
[01:55] <mirko_> Yeah I know floown. The thing happened as I configured the shutdown for a specific time. Hours after I got up I found the Laptop with that Logo, still running.
[02:04] <tux|dude> Yo
[04:42] <tux|dude> Yo
[04:43] <valorie> oy
[04:44] <tux|dude> Just curious as for what twitter client recommendations you'd have for something using kubuntu
[04:44] <valorie> hmm
[04:45] <valorie> I just use it on the web and my phone
[04:45] <valorie> I think there is a desktop client though
[04:45] <tux|dude> there are quite a few desktop clients. I'm just looking for a good one for linux lol
[04:45] <valorie> !info choqok
[04:46] <valorie> I've not tried it, but have heard good things
[04:46] <tux|dude> I've had a little look at that. Should probably look at it again I guess lol
[05:00] <tater> first day of using kubuntu!
[05:01] <valorie> nice, tater
[05:01] <valorie> enjoying yourself?
[05:01] <tater> just moved from ubuntu due to the speed issues, valorie
[05:02] <tater> so far working super fast
[05:03] <tater> i am curious if kubuntu has the spyware that ubuntu is known for?
[05:03] <valorie> no spyware
[05:03] <valorie> no scopes
[05:04] <tater> ok great
[05:08] <tux|dude> ubuntu has spyware?
[05:09] <valorie> well, some people characterized the shopping scope that way
[05:09] <valorie> dunno, I never liked or used Unity
[05:09] <valorie> I like gnome people, but not the desktop
[05:10] <tater> just watched a youtube video about stallman talking about it
[05:10] <tater> while ubuntu does make money from amazon for it; i am not sure if i like canoncial selling my searching info to amazon
[05:11] <tater> and other companies
[05:12] <valorie> of course it can be turned off
[05:12] <valorie> or not used
[05:13] <tater> yeah with a simple command line for sure
[05:13] <tater> stallman failed to mention that :)
[05:13] <tux|dude> I see
[05:14] <tux|dude> Well I'm quite happy with Kubuntu
[05:15] <valorie> well, stallman is rather generally unhappy with Ubuntu IMO
[05:16] <tater> i sure do like the GUI eye candy
[05:17] <Krampus> Is there a mouse setting that causes a "halo" around the pointer when over light backgrounds?
[05:17] <Krampus> I'm trying to figure out if I turned on somethign weird or if I have a really weird monitor problem.
[05:17] <valorie> tater: me too
[05:17] <valorie> hmmm
[05:17] <valorie> I've never heard of that, Krampus
[05:18] <tux|dude> KDE plasma 5 just looks amazing
[05:18] <Krampus> valorie: it's a skylake NUC.  Maybe just a not quite supported chipset.  I'm in the process of jumping to xenial.
[05:20] <valorie> Krampus: I'm running xenial now, and am loving it
[05:22] <tater> ah xenial is the beta?
[05:23] <tater> for 16
[05:23] <tater> how is it different from 15 valorie?
[05:24] <valorie> yes
[05:24] <valorie> newer plasma
[05:25] <valorie> although we don't have 5.6 yet
[05:25] <valorie> that will have to wait for backport, as it was released too late, while xenial was frozen
[05:27] <tater> is there a way to see what version of kubuntu i am running on my machine?
[05:28] <tater> i tried uname - r but it just says 3.190-56 generic
[05:29] <Krampus> valorie: my sound doesn't want to work at the moment either.  Hopefully this'll fix that as well.
[05:30] <valorie> sound is a complicated problem, sometimes
[05:30] <tux|dude> KDE 5.5 has been backported to 15.10
[05:30] <tux|dude> I'm running 5.5 on 15.10
[05:30] <valorie> right
[05:30] <tux|dude> But 5.6 or 5.6.1 aren't backported to 15.10
[05:31] <valorie> no
[05:31] <valorie> we were getting the LTS finished
[05:31] <valorie> 15.10 is only supported for about 3 more months
[05:31] <valorie> I doubt backports will be done
[05:32] <valorie> we don't have the hours necessary to do everything needful right now
[05:37] <tater> how many people code for kubuntu?
[05:38] <tux|dude> Yeah, I'm planning on updating to 16.04 basically the day it comes out as I need the LTS
[05:40] <tater> i 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?
[05:42] <valorie> that is the standard desktop for 15.10, yes
[05:42] <tux|dude> Yeah
[05:42] <tux|dude> KDE 5 looks like that as a standard
[05:42] <tux|dude> Quite different to KDE 4
[05:43] <valorie> Plasma 5, yes
[05:43] <tux|dude> Yeah plasma 5
[05:43] <tux|dude> I keep calling it kde 5 lol
[05:44] <valorie> kde is our community
[05:53] <tater> how can i tell what version of kde i have?
[05:53] <tux|dude> Check the about menu
[05:53] <tux|dude> Shift F2
[05:53] <tux|dude> Type about
[05:53] <tux|dude> KDE plasma version
[05:54] <tater> kubuntu 14.04 kdelibs  4.13.3
[05:54] <valorie> or plasmashell --version
[05:54] <tater> so i am running old version of kde?
[05:54] <valorie> yes, you have the LTS
[05:54] <valorie> you'll be able to upgrade to the new LTS in a few months
[05:55] <valorie> current regular version is 15.10 now
[05:55] <tux|dude> Yeah, LTS is on plasma 4
[05:55] <valorie> 16.04 comes out later this month
[05:55] <valorie> !release
[05:56] <tater> oh ok so lts is using old version of kde
[05:56] <tater> but lts catches up to it this month
[05:57] <valorie> right
[05:57] <valorie> lts is all about stability
[05:57] <tater> ah ok cool
[05:57] <tater> that UX is very sexy looking
[05:58] <valorie> I love it
[05:59] <tater> to get the plasma 5 / kde 5 would i have to burn a new iso or can i upgrade while inside my lts version?
[06:00] <valorie> upgrade will be available at the 16.04.1 release
[06:01] <valorie> a couple of months after the main release
[06:01] <valorie> but of course you can always get a current ISO
[06:03] <tater> ok makes sense. if i wanted to write a widget for kde would i need to write it in python?
[06:03] <tux|dude> I'm guessing I'll be able to update straight from 15.10 to 16.04?
[06:04] <valorie> yes, upgrade works well
[06:04] <tux|dude> Awesome
[06:04] <valorie> I upgraded this laptop to the beta, no issues
[06:08] <tux|dude> Is there anywhere I can download some plasma 5 login screens?
[06:09] <valorie> kde-look, I guess
[06:54] <Jonee> tried the backports update for 15.10.  both my monitors go blank or were not detected on login screen
[06:59] <Jonee> lots of bugs.  no sweat
[07:04] <valorie> pff
[07:14] <isl_> 16.04 can not running creative sound blaster zx ( ca0132 )
[07:19] <valorie> !sound
[07:20] <valorie> I wonder if you lack the proper driver, isl_
[07:20] <valorie> did you check the driver manager?
[07:20] <valorie> alt+space and type driver
[07:34] <lordievader> Good mroning.
[09:24] <tux|dude> Clementine and kubuntu just go so well together
[10:11] <lordievader> Well, it being a fork of Amarok, that is sort of to be expected ;)
[12:02] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:09] <jonathan_zz> Hiyas mr. Blues.
[12:10] <jonathan_zz> 16.04 seems the best experience since 14.10 for me.
[12:13] <BluesKaj> hi jonathan_zz , and it's getting better all the time
[12:13] <swipe> good, really fed up with 15:10. 21st April can't come fast enough
[12:14] <swipe> I find 15.10 way more buggy than 15.04
[12:15] <BluesKaj> 15.10 is hopeless in my experience
[12:15] <jonathan_zz> I just skipped the entire 15 thing.
[12:16] <jonathan_zz> Went to OpenSUSE in between lol.
[12:16] <jonathan_zz> they still ran kde 4 in 13.2.
[12:16] <jonathan_zz> then their background got me pulling my hair.
[12:17] <jonathan_zz> didn't know how to get rid of it, it was everywhere.
[12:17] <swipe> running antergos on my laptop. Got to say plasma 5.6.1 is beautiful
[12:17] <jonathan_zz> it was in the boot loader, initird, desktop, screensaver, login-prompt, everywhere.
[12:17] <BluesKaj> yeah I went with fedors 23 for a short time , but it's media options are very restricted
[12:17] <BluesKaj> fedora even
[12:17] <jonathan_zz> that green scale weird gekko background.
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> gecko
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> it drove me insane lol.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> anyway the OT cops will be here soon reminding us to stay ontopic
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> :)
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> I like that haha.
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> The way you say it.
[12:18] <jonathan_zz> If the channel wasn't logged nobody would care probably.
[12:19] <jonathan_zz> The moment you create a history of something you want it to be neat.
[12:19] <BluesKaj> well, we can continue in #kubuntu-offtopic
[12:23] <jonathan_zz> I feel like going offtopic now.
[12:23] <jonathan_zz> !offtopic
[12:23] <jonathan_zz> hahaha
[12:40] <r_rios> Hello, all. I've installed Plasma 5.5.4 from the Ubuntu backports, but, after I did that, I've got no audio.
[12:41] <r_rios> No audio devices are detected. I think something may have gone misconfigured in the update, but how can I find out what it was?
[12:44] <r_rios> I'm running Kubuntu 15.10
[12:44] <r_rios> The only audio output showing in KMix is "Fake output"
[12:46] <r_rios> Actually, 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] <soee> hmm this was known, there was sme workaroudn
[12:46] <soee> BluesKaj: ^ do you remember this one ?
[12:48] <BluesKaj> r_rios, what does aplay -l  show? need to know your audio chip
[12:49] <soee> some fix was to add user to audio group i think
[12:50] <r_rios> BluesKaj: https://gist.github.com/romariorios/e90b9fba0e78de71e4db1310a743ec48
[12:50] <r_rios> I 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_rios> Could it help?
[12:50] <r_rios> I did what the article said and I'm restarting now
[12:56] <r_rios> No good. It didn't work
[12:57] <r_rios> BluesKaj: Here's how my audio cards show up: http://wstaw.org/m/2016/04/03/ransom1.jpeg
[12:57] <BluesKaj> yea soee,  r_rios, this the command to add yourself to the audio group, sudo adduser your_user_name audio
[13:00] <BluesKaj> r_rios, also make sure in alsamixer that automute is disabled
[13:01] <BluesKaj> r_rios, then for safety's sake run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, then reboot
[13:03] <r_rios> Okay, rebooting
[13:09] <r_rios> BluesKaj: It worked :D
[13:09] <r_rios> Thanks
[13:11] <BluesKaj> r_rios, you're welcome, thank soee_ for the add user suggestion as well, these are known peoblems
[13:11] <BluesKaj> problems even
[14:23] <Guest46012> hey i made a  SONG  you can listen to it on Soundclound. Let me know if you like it! https://soundcloud.com/danielassayag/love-in-tahita
[15:04] <abhishek> I am new to kde and have just started using kubuntu
[15:04] <abhishek> how does upgrading to new kubuntu version affect my kde?
[15:06] <abhishek> does upgrading kubuntu automatically upgrade kde as well?
[15:11] <rodolfojcj> yes. It will update to the version of KDE present in the repositories of the Kubuntu version you are upgrading to
[15:12] <abhishek> rodolfojcj: what the version I am upgrading from has a kde version greater than that is already in the repos in kubuntu?
[15:12] <abhishek> *what if
[15:13] <rodolfojcj> it would interesting to know how apt or dpkg commands deal with that situation
[15:14] <rodolfojcj> does the current Kubuntu version has some kind of "backport" repositories enabled?
[15:14] <rodolfojcj> what's the current kubuntu version?
[15:15] <abhishek> 15.10
[15:15] <abhishek> I am new to kubuntu and kde. Thus, asked
[15:16] <abhishek> Say I using kubuntu 15.10 and neon and install kde 5.6. Now I upgrade to kubuntu 16.04 which doesn't support kde 5.6
[15:23] <rodolfojcj> are you using this http://neon.kde.org/ ?
[15:25] <rodolfojcj> I'm also using Kubuntu 15.10 (no neon) and I see it uses Kde Frameworks 5.15.0
[15:25] <rodolfojcj> and I see the next Kubuntu 16.04 will use version 5.18.0
[15:26] <rodolfojcj> and it seems to me both are newer than version 5.6.0
[15:27] <rodolfojcj> that'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=all
[15:36] <abhishek> rodolfojcj: I didn't understand how is 5.18 newer than 5.6
[15:37] <abhishek> Yes I asking with respect to kde neon. :)
[15:47] <rodolfojcj> try to update the local metadata of the repositories in your computer. For example with 'sudo aptitude update'
[15:47] <rodolfojcj> and then try to update the packages you have installed. For example with 'sudo aptitude upgrade'
[15:48] <rodolfojcj> After that, check again with version is left installed
[15:56] <bufalo_1973> abhishek: 5.6 -> 5.06 ;-)
[15:57] <abhishek> that's weird naming!!
[15:57] <abhishek> 5.60 and 5.6 are different ?
[15:59] <rodolfojcj> I don't know if there is a 5.60 version of KDE, however I suppose a 5.6 version is different from a 5.60 version of any software given
[16:02] <swipe> 5.6.1 is the latest
[16:11] <bufalo_1973> abhishek: what would you do? have a 5.006 version just in case? :-D
[16:16] <stevenwnt> my NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] driver will not work
[16:20] <stevenwnt>  my NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] driver will not work
[16:22] <stevenwnt>  my NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] driver will not work
[16:24] <abhishek> bufalo_1973: I am a bit to linux in general :). Where can I get info. of version-system followed by kde or linux software in general.
[16:24] <stevenwnt>  my NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] driver will not work
[16:26] <stevenwnt>  my NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] driver will not work
[16:27] <BluesKaj> !patience | stevenwnt
[16:31] <abhishek> which version kde version is kubuntu shipped with?
[16:38] <bufalo_1973> abhishek: do you have kubuntu already installed?
[16:38] <abhishek> yeah
[16:39] <bufalo_1973> apt show <name-of-the-package>
[16:40] <abhishek> Sry, for not mentioning before. I wanted to know for kubuntu 16.04
[16:46] <abhishek> Consider I have kde-neon installed on 15.10. How should I upgrade to 16.04 without breaking anything?
[16:55] <BluesKaj> abhishek, upgrading to the next OS usually disables any ppas by default
[16:57] <BluesKaj> abhishek, but just to make sure you coud comment them with # in front of the deb line in your /etc/apt/sources.list or uncheck them in your package manager sources.
[17:21] <stevenwnt> can any one help me with my  NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog]
[17:28] <bufalo_1973> stevenwnt: maybe if you say what's the problem... ;-)
[17:32] <stevenwnt> the  NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog] does not work as wfi

[19:03] <oYASo> Hi!   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 seco
[19:03] <oYASo> If 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] <oYASo> If 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.
[19:04] <oYASo> What could be the problem and where to look?   Thanks in advance!
[20:21] <tater> whats 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 free
[20:22] <tater> (and loving that kubuntu comes with K torrent out of the box)
[20:27] <Fritigern> tater: OBS can record your desktop, your games, but can also stream to Twitch and some other streaming services. https://obsproject.com/download#linux
[20:35] <tater> thanks Fritigern i will check it out now
[20:36] <tater> i 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?
[20:52] <BluesKaj> tater, just run , sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the konsole/terminal
[20:55] <veXx> i just swapped over from an ATI card to GTX 960 using nvidia-352-updates. when i try to use a lower resolution than 1920x1080, the screen does not stretch/scale. i am not seeing any option for this in the nvidia software and only finding related stuff on this issue from years ago (google). am i crazy, doing something wrong, or just not supported?
[20:59] <tux|dude> Morning al
[20:59] <tux|dude> *all
[20:59] <tater> BluesKaj - a yeah duh thanks for reminding me
[21:00] <tater> seems in firefox i have selected 'remember to open file using XX every time i download a file of that type' and it never remembers. is that a bug with firefox itself
[21:00] <tater> ?
[21:01] <tux|dude> Welp today is going to be a bit of a field test for me
[21:01] <tux|dude> I'm going to be testing kubuntu out in the field (aka my school) to see how long my surface pro 2's battery lasts while using it.
[21:02] <meena> anyone know if it's possible to assign kubuntu's default mail app to a chromium-browser --app?
[21:02] <meena> i just tried assigning it to the .desktop file, and that didn't work.
[21:03] <tater> tux|dude interesting. it's lasting about 2 hours on my dell laptop
[21:03] <tux|dude> Well I had been using kubuntu for around 3 hours yesterday at my usual workload and the battery was at around 60 percent after
[21:03] <tux|dude> So I'll see how it lasts in the field today
[21:05] <tater> is that a tablet or a laptop?
[21:05] <tux|dude> Tablet laptop hybrid
[21:05] <tux|dude> The surface pro 2 is a tablet sized computer with high end laptop specs
[21:06] <meena> hrm… this shouldn't be happening. at all. https://gist.github.com/igalic/da6f42da422aa673dda121181598887b
[21:07] <tater> ah i5 core that should hum
[21:07] <veXx> anyone around that uses nvidia 9xx gpu?
[21:10] <tater> i love how kubuntu shows the national event name for each day in the time window from bottom panel. does that stay in the upcoming lts?
[21:44] <tater> just tested kubuntu with hdmi into a television screen and noticed a lot of green pixels all over the place
[23:41] <tux|dude> Ello
