| akik | some graphics elements changed in firefox in kubuntu 14.04. is there way to revert back to the previous style? | 11:08 |
| pat_rick | akik: it's not necessarily the most active channel, though ;) | 11:11 |
| akik | i have all the time in the world :) | 11:12 |
| pat_rick | anyway, with 16.04 and KDE 5.5, I can change the gtk settings for gtk2 and gtk3 seperately in the system's application appearance settings | 11:12 |
| pat_rick | maybe that works for your version of KDE as well | 11:13 |
| akik | pat_rick: ok i'm there on the settings page | 11:13 |
| akik | configuration of the style of gtk applications | 11:14 |
| akik | it says the theme for both gtk2 and gtk3 is oxygen-gtk | 11:14 |
| mas886 | How can I update plasma 5.5.5 to 5.6.x? | 11:14 |
| pat_rick | akik: try a different one and see if it's more to your liking. It won't look exactly as before, though, but maybe it will look better to you | 11:18 |

| konrados | Hi. I want to change the background color in windows, when I use google, people are talking for example about "Unity". How can I know if I have it and use it? And what are the alternatives? | 11:19 |
| hateball | konrados: ... what? | 11:21 |
| konrados | On my Ubuntu KDE, on menus (and not only) the text (menu commands) are black (well, not really purely black). And the background is a dark grey. I need to move my nose toward my monitor all the time to find a command I need. I want to change menu's background to something much lighter. People are talking about "Unity" like here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/136044/how-do-i-change-the-background-color-of-the-menu-bar but I don't even know what it is, | 11:25 |
| konrados | and whether I have it or not. | 11:25 |
| konrados | hateball ^ | 11:25 |
| hateball | konrados: Well you just want to edit your theme then | 11:26 |
| akik | i hate these kinds of ui changes that i need to spend a lot of effort to fix | 11:26 |
| hateball | konrados: You can go into system settings and change/tweak the theme as you see fit | 11:28 |
| hateball | konrados: and Unity is for vanilla Ubuntu, not Kubuntu which uses KDE Plasma | 11:28 |
| konrados | hateball thanks, I'll try, although I recall I tried that. | 11:30 |
| hateball | konrados: Is this problem persistent in all apps, or just some? | 11:32 |
| hateball | Perhaps you are using GTK apps just like akik | 11:32 |
| konrados | hateball: in most of them, the system settings for example. | 11:34 |
| konrados | hateball: OK, so I'm at system settings -> workspace appearance -> desktop theme -> details. I have the "Customized" tab selected, and there is no such thing as "menu" or "window background" | 11:34 |
| konrados | hateball: maybe that would be "dialog background"? | 11:35 |
| hateball | konrados: where you picked desktop theme, you also have Colors and Style | 11:35 |
| hateball | or however it's named in english | 11:35 |
| hateball | konrados: since you can apply a full "theme" but then you can also modify individual parts of it | 11:36 |
| konrados | Well, I'm at system settings -> workspace appearance -> desktop theme -> details. I have the "Customized" tab selected, and there is no such thing as "menu" or "window background" | 11:36 |
| konrados | hateball ^ | 11:36 |
| akik | argh the state of theme package installations. i downloaded paper theme and its icons. now i have two different directories with no instructions on how to install it | 11:36 |
| hateball | konrados: Because as I said, it's under settings for Colour | 11:37 |
| akik | i see mentions of a directory ~/.themes which looks like the one i should put it into | 11:37 |
| hateball | konrados: or you just pick a theme and change the color theme to something lighter | 11:38 |
| hateball | it's up to you | 11:38 |
| konrados | hateball can you give me the full path to this "settings for colour"? Is this under system settings -> workspace appearance somewhere? I prefer to change individual colors. | 11:39 |
| hateball | konrados: It's on the very landing page of systemsettings | 11:40 |
| pat_rick | akik: Unfortunately I haven't done manual theme installations in quite some time | 11:41 |
| hateball | akik: I think you can use the File... dialog in for instance icons, and point to the zip file | 11:42 |
| konrados | hateball: thanks! It worked. Btw, it's under application appearance -> Colors. Thanks again, now it's so much better :) | 11:42 |
| Codin13_ | Hi everyone, I have a problem starting kubuntu, can someone help me? i'm looking the .xsession_errors but i'm little lost about solve it... | 11:44 |
| hateball | Codin13_: At which point does it stop? | 11:45 |
| hateball | Codin13_: Is this a fresh install, or is it a working install that has failed? | 11:45 |
| Codin13_ | it shows the splash-screen with the kubuntu logo, and then goes to black screen. is a working install that has failed, with 12.04.4 version. i've tried to re-install kubuntu-desktop but not solved | 11:46 |
| hateball | Codin13_: it's still 12.04? so you've not upgraded to 14.04 and it's failed after that or something? | 11:47 |
| Codin13_ | sorry, 14.04.4, not 12 | 11:47 |
| hateball | Codin13_: Have you tried picking an older kernel in the grub menu? | 11:47 |
| akik | hateball: i have paper-gtk-theme-master.zip but i can not install it through add gtk theme window | 11:47 |
| hateball | hmmm | 11:48 |
| Codin13_ | it was intalled with 14, and nope, how can I see the grub? it does not apeears at the init process | 11:49 |
| pat_rick | akik: did the site where you downloadded it from coem with installation instructions? | 11:49 |
| akik | i need to search more to find a way to revert back | 11:49 |
| pat_rick | akik: alternatively, there are a couple of themes in the repositories, you can install them with muon or such | 11:49 |
| hateball | Codin13_: hold/hammer left shift during startup, it should give you the grub menu | 11:49 |
| akik | pat_rick: it has an option to add a ppa but i'm a bit wary of doing that | 11:50 |
| Codin13_ | ok i'm going to try | 11:50 |
| hateball | Codin13_: It could be you've had a recent kernel upgrade that somehow breaks things | 11:50 |
| pat_rick | akik: usually they are save, but just for a theme, it's a bit overkill | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:51 |
| akik | firefox doesn't seem to obey that SWT_GTK3 variable | 11:52 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: i can choose 3, 3.13.0-85, 3.13.0-44 and 3.13.0-24. all goes to the black screnn, but the -24 shows "* Stopping System V runlevel compatibility" before going blackscreen | 11:54 |

| hateball | Yes, but that seems to be the wrong way to tackle the problem | 12:03 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: thank you anyway | 12:03 |
| akik | the biggest grief i have this is that it changed a form element in my bank's login page | 12:03 |
| akik | and now it looks like somebody's hijacking my credentials | 12:04 |
| hateball | Codin13_: guess you could try nomodeset but I dont know if that does anything for intel | 12:04 |
| hateball | !nomodeset | Codin13_ | 12:04 |
| ubottu | Codin13_: 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 | 12:04 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: ok, i'll try! | 12:06 |
| akik | i don't get it. i installed the paper theme ppa and it installed fine. then i selected paper as both gtk2 and gtk3. kde itself didn't change at all, only firefox | 12:11 |
| hateball | Yes, because Plasma uses Qt and not GTK | 12:11 |
| pat_rick | akik: that's because you installed a gtk theme | 12:11 |
| pat_rick | kde uses them only for gtk apps, like firefox | 12:12 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: It has the same behavior | 12:12 |
| hateball | Codin13_: ack | 12:12 |
| hateball | Codin13_: can you boot to a recovery console? or liveboot and run a fsck | 12:12 |
| akik | hateball: i'm on kde 4 | 12:13 |
| hateball | akik: It's still Qt :) | 12:13 |
| pat_rick | akik: the same is true for every kde | 12:13 |
| akik | 14.04 was supposed to be long term support and now they've changed the one most important apps that i use | 12:13 |
| pat_rick | akik: exactly because it is lts | 12:14 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: yes, i can try, but the system seems that is ok, because I can login with a F1 terminal, the problem is "only" with the X I think | 12:14 |
| pat_rick | akik: it provides security updates for a longer time, including browser updates | 12:14 |
| hateball | Codin13_: Right | 12:14 |
| akik | pat_rick: i don't think this kind of change should be applied to everybody (gtk3) | 12:14 |
| pat_rick | akik: when firefox releases a new version, it will be ported to 14.04 | 12:15 |
| hateball | Codin13_: So... you don't get a login gui at all, or does it go black after you try logging in? | 12:15 |
| pat_rick | akik: it happened on Firefox' side, not due to Ubuntu, might be that there's a way to keep gtk2, but I don't knowit | 12:15 |
| pat_rick | akik: actually it seems to me that gtk3 support was something a lot of people where waiting for with firefox in linux | 12:16 |
| BluesKaj | akik, maybe that theme only applies to gtk and not kde/plasma | 12:17 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: No, I don't get a login gui. the first error of the xsession-errors log says that is something wrong with kded_powerdevil library, but I've checked that is installed in the correct directory | 12:17 |
| AceKing | I have a HDD plugged into my router. I am usually able to access it through dolphin. Since I installed 16.04, I cannot access the drive. It shows up, but when I put in my credentials, the login screen keeps popping back up as if my credentials are wrong. I am having nothing but problems with 16.04. | 12:19 |
| hateball | Codin13_: could you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" from a tty where oyu can log in? | 12:19 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: then kded_keyboard cause the same problem, and finally ksmserver and startkde shutts down | 12:19 |
| hateball | Codin13_: do you have automatic login? | 12:20 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: reconfigure done with no errors. same black screen. I don't really know if it has automatic login... :( | 12:23 |
| hateball | Codin13_: right. check that you are the owner of ~/.Xauthority | 12:23 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: yes, correct owner with 600 permits | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | AceKing, what about looking in the router setup to find the HDD IP | 12:26 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: I have tried to make a new user, with the same problem | 12:26 |
| hateball | Codin13_: Well I am running out of ideas :| | 12:26 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: I can access it from other machines. It was ever since I installed 16.04 | 12:27 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: I will try to find the IP | 12:28 |
| Codin13_ | hateball: don't worry, we have tested. i'll keep searching little more, and i'll reinstall the system if I can reach the solution. thanks anyway! | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | AceKing, yes and you probly need to setup the HDD access again since it's anew OS especially if you did a clen install | 12:29 |
| BluesKaj | clean | 12:29 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: I cannot find the address. It just shows that a HDD is plugged in, and shared. I wonder why I didn't have to set it up on 14.04? I just opened dolphin browser, put in my username, and password, and went right in. I can even access it off LiveCD | 12:34 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: I found the ftp address, and was able to login though Firefox | 12:39 |
| BluesKaj | AceKing, I was thinking about the IP so you could login with dolphin network, add network folder | 12:51 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: OK, thank you | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | AceKing, insatall arp-scan then run arp -a , it finds all active devices on lan | 12:59 |
| BluesKaj | AceKing, a very handy tool | 13:00 |
| AceKing | BluesKaj: OK, thanks | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj | for example AceKing my ethernet is no longer eth0 , systemd now renamed it to enp0s7, if I use the command from this tut http://www.blackmoreops.com/2015/12/31/use-arp-scan-to-find-hidden-devices-in-your-network/ , sudo arp-scan --interface=enp0s7 --localnet , that shows the IPs od all devices connected to the router | 13:12 |
