[00:23] <JMichaelX> would anyone know how to get video thumbnail previews working in Dolphin? I have ffmpegthumbs installed, and have enabled previews everywhere, but still cannot get them working.
[00:49] <valorie> JMichaelX: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=223&t=128888 might enlighten
[00:50] <valorie> when I came back from dinner, my screen was black on this laptop, and I couldn't get it to "wake up"
[00:51] <valorie> I don't have it suspend, etc. -- any body know what logfile I could examine to see what happened?
[00:51] <valorie> I had to hard restart with the power button
[01:00] <azure|2> hello does 16.04 have wayland as default?
[01:00] <azure|2> i see in synaptic that a bunch of wayland stuff is installed
[05:23] <hateball> hmmm, where is the imgur/picasa/whatever export stuff for ksnapshot in 16.04?
[05:24] <valorie> hateball: now called Spectacle
[05:25] <valorie> or kde-spectacle
[05:25] <valorie> !info kde-spectacle
[05:25] <hateball> so it is :D
[05:25] <hateball> I didnt even notice
[05:26] <hateball> hmmm, it has no recommends so I guess it does not have any export plugins :<
[05:27] <valorie> hmmm
[05:28] <hateball> the kipi-plugins seem to be for kde 4.x, nothing happens when installing them
[05:28] <valorie> well, the devel was trying to fix kscreenshot, found too much rotting code, and just took the good parts and re-wrote the rest
[05:29] <hateball> well, I'll faff about with this some other time
[08:03] <hateball> ugh. folder view is horribly broken as well. can't use ctrl+c/v, have to actually rightclick objects
[08:04] <hateball> Folder plasmoids, that is
[08:04] <valorie> hmmm, please file a bug about that
[08:04] <valorie> haven't heard anyone else mention that, hateball
[08:05] <hateball> valorie: Sure
[08:06] <valorie> ty
[08:07] <hateball> valorie: if you'd like to try and replicate it, I just added a folder plasmoid, hilight any given file, ctrl+c and try to paste anywhere else and it hasnt registered the ctrl+c
[08:12] <valorie> hateball: once you have a bug number, i'll test and add my input
[08:23] <hateball> valorie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1576575
[08:25] <valorie> thanks hateball
[08:25] <valorie> I'll have to test in the morning
[08:25] <valorie> can't keep my eyes open
[08:25] <hateball> :)
[09:12] <ascii-soup> hi guys - I've recompiiled Konsole from source, editing the 'setMargin()' call and it works fine in Konsole, but not in Kate's terminal or in Yakuake - do I need to do something in order to get the new Konsole kpart used by these two apps?
[11:08] <akik> some graphics elements changed in firefox in kubuntu 14.04. is there way to revert back to the previous style?
[11:11] <pat_rick> akik: it's not necessarily the most active channel, though ;)
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <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
[11:14] <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?
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <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?
[11:21] <hateball> konrados: ... what?
[11:25] <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 ^
[11:26] <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
[11:28] <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
[11:30] <konrados> hateball thanks, I'll try, although I recall I tried that.
[11:32] <hateball> konrados: Is this problem persistent in all apps, or just some?
[11:32] <hateball> Perhaps you are using GTK apps just like akik
[11:34] <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"
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <hateball> konrados: or you just pick a theme and change the color theme to something lighter
[11:38] <hateball> it's up to you
[11:39] <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.
[11:40] <hateball> konrados: It's on the very landing page of systemsettings
[11:41] <pat_rick> akik: Unfortunately I haven't done manual theme installations in quite some time
[11:42] <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 :)
[11:44] <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...
[11:45] <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?
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <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
[11:48] <hateball> hmmm
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:52] <akik> firefox doesn't seem to obey that SWT_GTK3 variable
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <hateball> Codin13_: What GPU/driver do you use?
[11:55] <sverro2> Hey, recently I installed Kubuntu 16.04, with the Dutch language pack, leaving me an unusable system. (without reinstalling plasma desktop). Bug #1572494. Can I help in any way?
[11:57] <Codin13_> hateball: VGA compatible controller from Intel, driver=i915
[12:00] <hateball> Codin13_: hmmm, then I don't quite know :|
[12:02] <akik> do i get the old theme back if i install an older firefox?
[12:03] <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
[12:04] <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_
[12:06] <Codin13_> hateball: ok, i'll try!
[12:11] <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
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <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
[12:14] <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)
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <pat_rick> akik: actually it seems to me that gtk3 support was something a lot of people where waiting for with firefox in linux
[12:17] <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
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <hateball> Codin13_: do you have automatic login?
[12:23] <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
[12:25] <Codin13_> hateball: yes, correct owner with 600 permits
[12:26] <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 :|
[12:27] <AceKing> BluesKaj: I can access it from other machines. It was ever since I installed 16.04
[12:28] <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!
[12:29] <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
[12:34] <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
[12:39] <AceKing> BluesKaj: I found the ftp address, and was able to login though Firefox
[12:51] <BluesKaj> AceKing, I was thinking about the IP so you could login with dolphin network, add network folder
[12:58] <AceKing> BluesKaj: OK, thank you
[12:59] <BluesKaj> AceKing, insatall arp-scan then run arp -a , it finds all active devices on lan
[13:00] <BluesKaj> AceKing, a very handy tool
[13:05] <AceKing> BluesKaj: OK, thanks
[13:12] <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
[13:14] <BluesKaj> od=of
[16:35] <baby> CIAO A TUTTI
[17:37] <Quantos> Does anyone know which channel VirtualBox is in?
[17:57] <Tanjoodo> Ok so I started the upgrade to 16.04 but then I cancelled it when it was still just downloading packages
[17:57] <Tanjoodo> but I think that didn't really cancel it
[17:57] <akik> Quantos: #vbox
[17:57] <Tanjoodo> because dpkg is running
[17:58] <Tanjoodo> and I got a weird prompt about some config file whether I wanted to keep it or replace it
[17:59] <Tanjoodo> I think it finished downloading and now it's installing =
[18:00] <Quantos> Thanks man
[18:00] <Quantos> Thanks akik
[18:49] <Quantos> Hey guys, I have something on my desktop that looks like a yellow post-it note, how do I get rid of that?
[18:50] <soee> Quantos: maybe widget
[18:51] <Tanjoodo> HEEEEEEEEEEELP I UPGRADED AND THE TASK SWITCHER LOOKS UGLY
[18:51] <soee> right click on the desktop pick Unlock widgets, than hover cursor over this widget and remove it when controls show up
[18:51] <Quantos> What widget?
[18:51] <Quantos> Right clicking doesn't bring up anything useful
[18:51] <soee> Quantos: post a screen what you have there
[18:52] <soee> Tanjoodo: probably some cache issue
[18:52] <soee> Tanjoodo: try to remove ~/.cache
[18:52] <soee> folder
[18:52] <Tanjoodo> soee, no, it there's now these ugly borders around the icons
[18:53] <soee> borders are normal thing, can you show screen ?
[18:54] <Tanjoodo> soee, http://imgur.com/BuxW96P
[18:54] <soee> Tanjoodo: yeah this is how they look now
[18:55] <Tanjoodo> also apparently alpha channel support is broken in the notification area?
[18:55] <soee> http://wstaw.org/m/2016/04/29/Screenshot_20160429_205456.png
[18:56] <Tanjoodo> I guess not because the hexchat icon is ugly but other icons aren't
[18:56] <Tanjoodo> soee, nice theme
[18:56] <soee> i do not use/know hexchat
[18:56] <lapion> hello I have had the upgrade of my system to 16.04 crash on me twice already ( I have a backup)
[18:57] <soee> lapion: during upgrade process ?
[18:57] <Tanjoodo> soee, http://imgur.com/04vgM4q
[18:57] <lapion> it crashed with a man-loop error without a man-db.0.crash file
[18:57] <Tanjoodo> other icons look fine
[18:58] <soee> Tanjoodo: i recomment using konversation :)
[18:58] <soee> but yeah, some icons might look like that for no KDE apps
[18:58] <soee> *non
[18:58] <Tanjoodo> soee, I'm not changing my client because of the buggy tray icon :P
[18:58] <soee> Tanjoodo: true :D
[18:58] <Quantos> soee here it is http://imgur.com/T8jx80L
[18:58] <lapion> yes soee  mid upgrade.. twice from within the update manager, once in do-release-upgrade from a terminal, and once from the recovery commandline
[18:58] <Tanjoodo> disabled tray icon and problem solved \o/
[18:58] <Quantos> It's that stupid yellow square
[18:59] <soee> Quantos: well yeah looks liek sticky notes widget
[18:59] <Tanjoodo> Quantos, I think that happens when you middle click things
[18:59] <Tanjoodo> no wait that's something else
[18:59] <Quantos> Fine, how do I get rid of the stupid thing
 right click on the desktop pick Unlock widgets, than hover cursor over this widget and remove it when controls show up
[19:00] <soee> Quantos: in Plasma 5.5 the widget behaviour changed, so to be able to manage it unlock screen widhets click on this widget and cold hem mouse button pressed for 3 seconds
[19:00] <soee> Quantos: than you will see its controls
[19:00] <Quantos> Nope, not a widget
[19:00] <lapion> soee, has there been anyone else in here with this problem ?
[19:01] <Tanjoodo> I don't use widgets so I don't really know
[19:01] <soee> lapion: thb. inever faced it and heard of such problem during uprades
[19:01] <Quantos> Hahahah, you were right, it was a widget
[19:02] <soee> :)
[19:02] <Quantos> I just didn't hold the mouse button down long enough
[19:02] <Quantos> Can I uninstall that piece o' crap?  Any idea what it's called?
[19:02] <soee> i think this is part of package that contains several widgets
[19:03] <soee> just leave it as it is it wont show up until you add it to the desktop :)
[19:03] <Quantos> Yeah, I don't really want to remove anything else that I might find useful
[19:03] <Quantos> Thanks for the help guys
[19:04] <soee> there is package called: plasma-widgets-addons that probably contains it
[19:05] <Tanjoodo> while I'm here... it is possible to change the behavior of when I click on an icon that has multiple windows open under it in the task switcher so that it shows a menu of open windows instead of hijacking the whole screen?
[19:11] <Tanjoodo> I phrased that question so poorly
[19:21] <abhigenie92> hi guys!
