JMichaelXi set up a print server, using a 1st gen raspberry pi last night, using cups. I am able to use the printer with every machine in the house so far, except the one running Kubuntu 16.04.01:23
JMichaelXthe other machines saw the print, and are using it successfully, without the installation of a driver. on the Kubuntu machine, it is not seeing the printer, and also not allowing me to add the network printer manually, without installing a driver01:26
JMichaelXprinter*01:26
rodolfojcjwhat operating system do the other machines seeing the printer use?02:26

luc4Hello! Anyone using a bluetooth mouse in kubuntu? Is it working properly?08:08
Smurphyluc4: Yes - it is working properly.08:11
luc4Smurphy: does it connect automatically after the boot?08:11
Smurphyyes. You have to move it (the mouse) a little, so it goes out of "sleep" mode.08:12
SmurphyAnd - you need to have it bound once with the underlying Bluetooth stack on your system.08:12
luc4Smurphy: would be great! thanks!08:13
SmurphyI usually have it running with my laptop when on the road. At home - I have a docking station and USB bound mouse.08:13
SmurphyBut never had a problem on the road :) except when the battery ran out of power :D08:14
luc4Smurphy: yes, in fact that is a little bothering... it seems battery should last more than 12 months... not sure I believe it...08:16
SmurphyActually - on my mini logitech mouse it does last about 6months.08:19
luc4Smurphy: thanks for the info!08:38

m_tadeuhi...I'm trying to use my usb headset with no success09:15
m_tadeuit seems to be detected properly but I can't channel the sound to it09:15
m_tadeuhow to do it?09:15
soeem_tadeu: not sure, have you checked System Settings -> Multimedia09:16
soeeand set in Profile different output ?09:17
m_tadeusoee: I have both the built in and the headset items there....but I can only choose the default device there....09:20
m_tadeuI just want to change the device for specific apps, like I used to do it in 15.1009:20
soeem_tadeu: i dont think you can do it via GUI in Plasma 5.509:21
hateballthere is a bug for that, hold on09:22
soeei think plsma-pa widget might offer this in Plasma 5.609:22
hateballit's in 5.7 actually, http://davidrosca.blogspot.se/2016/04/audio-volume-improvements-in-plasma-57.html09:23

six86Hello. The Screen blanking problem we have here on several machines since 16.04 is driving me crazy... Does anyone know what I can try? It does not seem to have something to do with compositing...09:32
soeesix86: you upgraded from what version?09:37
six86soee: 15.1009:38
soeesix86: can you describe the problem more?09:39
six86The screen is getting black for just about a second during normal work, no other effects, but it is really really annoying09:40
six86Two external monitors on a docking station of a lenovo thinkpad09:41
soeeah i have this for a long time when i have TV vonnected via hdmi and this happen only on TV09:42
soeei read some similar bug reports and it was mentioned that the problem might be in kernel but i'm not 10% sure09:42
soee*100%09:42
six86Under 15.10 everything went south regarding plasma when docking/undocking, this is a little bit better now, but this screen goes black issue came adter the update on multiple machines09:43
soeefor me also thin black horizontal lines flyes on the screen09:43
soeesix86: yes i can confirm this happening in external monitor/device09:44
soeedo you have the same when using single monitor ?09:44
six86When will backports with the newest plasma be ready?09:44
soeesix86: new Plasma, Apps and Frameworks are being done for Yakkety atm. when they are ready they will be backported09:45
six86soee: Didn't see the problem on the notebook screen when undocked, but I never actually tried to unplug one of the screens. That would be a test but no solution, because we need the screens to work...09:46
soeeif you want to test Plasma 5.6 you can try Neon iso09:46
six86The first aim is to get my work system completely usable again.09:46
soeesix86: ill try to ask Plasma devs09:55
yossarianukhi - just checking out 16.04 - thunderbird seems not to understand mime types - i.e it doesn;t know what application to open .html links, etc is there a package I need to install in order to use kde mime types or is it a case of manually seting every application up ?10:26
viewer|56104Hi all. Surfing around I have just found kubuntu staging plasma ppa - recent activity often by clivejo . Do I guess correctly If I think to get current plasma for kde 16.04 there? and what will it contain in the future? stable releases or differing beta / test / whatever releases as well?10:40
hateballviewer|56104: if you want newer versions of plasma than are in 16.04, use kubuntu-backports10:41
hateball!backports10:41
ubottuIf new updated packages are built for an application, they may go into Kubuntu Backports, which is one of the official Kubuntu PPAs. See https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs for more information.10:41
viewer|56104thanks hateball and ubottu . haven't found 5.6 packages there yet10:42
hateballBecause they're not ready :)10:43
viewer|56104Thanks for the information! Do you know of a schedule or so, hateball?10:43
six86soee: thx10:44
yossarianukctrl + esc no longer brings up the task manager ?10:54
hateballyossarianuk: It should10:55
yossarianukhmmm  - in fact it looks like no keyboard shortcuts are working...10:56
yossarianukI'll reboot.10:56
clivejono no no no no, dont use staging PPA's !!!11:01
yossarianukdoes anyone here use Thunderbird ?11:18
yossarianukIt seems unaware of all mime types - i.e it doesn't know what to open .html links in....11:19
pat_rickyossarianuk: it just did for me11:22
pat_rickclicked on a link in a mail, it opened it in firefox11:22
yossarianukpat_rick: im running freshly installed 16.0411:24
pat_rickme too11:24
yossarianukanyone aware how to get the mime types fixed ?11:27
yossarianukoddly it understands .pdf, docx just not http/https.11:32
swimmer_hello everyone11:35
swimmer_can't install kubuntu 16.04 into virtualbox, any pointers?11:35
yossarianuknot tired sorry - works in kvm11:36
yossarianukcan you go to a tty in virtualbox (i.e ctrl+alt+f2)?11:41

swimmer_I'm testing again11:48
yossarianuktry giving it max GPU ram also perhaps?11:51
swimmer_done that, tried with and without 3d...11:54
hateballswimmer_: what does "cant install" mean? Does the installer not boot? does it fail at some step? etc etc11:56
swimmer_you are right... i can run all the installer, reboot and then it wont open desktop11:58
swimmer_I'm currently installing in a Virtualbox VM and will also install in a bare metal machine11:59
hateballswimmer_: Ah. Could you try using the nomodeset kernel option?11:59
swimmer_i will try yes... VM is almost done12:00
BluesKajHiyas all12:10
hazamonzoHi BluesKaj12:10
hazamonzoYou know, i love Kubuntu. Have used it for years but its sadly the same story for each install (on my side anyhow), after a couple of months and updates it just starts falling to bits :(12:11
BluesKajhi hazamonzo12:11
hazamonzoA lot faster than ubuntu or Xubuntu12:11
hazamonzoYou know what i mean?12:12
hazamonzoJust recently.... i lost the ability to plug in a second moniter :'(12:12
hazamonzoIm guessing it was an update that borked it12:12
BluesKajodd , i have the opposite, but I do a lot of tweaking, remove apps i don't use etc, no akonadi or baloo etc12:13
BluesKajdunno, my tv is my monitor12:13
hazamonzoI think maybe im more of just an end user. Not a super linux admin :)12:13
hazamonzoI would still never give up my kubuntu... too many cool features but its sad that after some months it starts to die on me12:14
hazamonzoI'll have to dig around a little for the second moniter issue though. Its like losing a limb!12:16
yossarianukhazamonzo: often many bugs are fixed in later versions of Plasma/kde - which is why project neon makes sense (or will do when its user ready)12:16
swimmer_hateball: Vm is working out of the box12:16
hazamonzoyossarianuk: I haven't heard of project neon but I will do a little research :)12:16
hazamonzoOn a related note, if anyone has any thoughts to why when i plug in my second moniter, my laptop screen goes blank, my second moniter is black (not off) and i can see my mouse pointer on the second moniter, glued to the left side of the screen and can only move it up and down.... let me know! :D12:17
chuck__hazamonzo: I had some trouble with laptop / 2nd monitor too. Switching via the FN Keys on your laptop rather then menus did the trick for me12:19
hateballswimmer_: and what didnt work ootb, was that a bare metal machine?12:19
hazamonzochuck__: I see. In this case when i plug in the second moniter it just works, or at least it used to.12:19
hazamonzono screen switching or anything12:20
hazamonzoIn fact..... now that you mention it I can't even see a FN key for switching on my thinkpad :D12:20
hateballmultiple monitors are not working well under plasma 5, there's plenty of tickets on bugs.kde.org about it12:20
hateballand it's terribly annoying, yes12:21
hateballhazamonzo: if you had used several monitors pre-upgrade, you may consider wiping your kscreen configs and have it autodetect again12:21
hateball~/.local/share/kscreen/12:21
hazamonzohateball: Interesting...12:22
hazamonzoI'll give it a shot!12:22
hazamonzohateball: Just drop the content of that folder and restart or something?12:22
hateballhazamonzo: each file there represents a monitor12:22
hateballhazamonzo: yep, pretty much12:22
hazamonzohateball: Good to know. I have 7 here12:23
hateballsddm doesnt work properly with multiple monitors either12:23
* hazamonzo googles sddm12:23
hateballthe login manager :)12:23
hazamonzoAhhh okay!12:23
hazamonzoMaybe i can try the thunderbolt port instead of the VGA one...12:24
hazamonzoThanks for the input folks <312:25
yossarianukone a brighter note 16.04 now does vga switching (nvidia-prime) fine - on 15.10 you would end up with no desktop12:27
yossarianukat least on my laptop12:27
hazamonzoyossarianuk: Don't remind me!! That was the only part i really struggled with regarding the new laptop!12:28
hazamonzoThats why i kinda fear a reinstall...12:28
yossarianukfor my desktop the nouveau driver barely worked - the live usb would only boot 1 out of about 5 times (it never got to the desktop)12:30
yossarianukonce I actually (by shear chance) got to the desktop and installed it then installed nvidia driver (364) it was fine12:31
hazamonzoyossarianuk: Thats exactly what happened to me!12:31
hazamonzoyossarianuk: you're bringing back bad memories hahaha12:31
yossarianukI can now switch to intel and back and I no longer get black screen at sddm12:31
hazamonzoBut it looks like you remember more about the process than I do. I'll have to remember your nickname for next time I attempt a reinstall :)12:32
yossarianuknone of these issues effect my desktop just laptop with dual vga12:32
hazamonzoyossarianuk: yup. Exactly the same thing i got12:32
hazamonzointel and nvidia card on the laptop and the 1 out of 5 times seeing my login screen12:32
hazamonzoAnyhoo, i better head into the office. Thanks guts!12:33
yossarianukit seems fine in 16.04 as soon as you install the nvidia driver (I used the 3654 one)12:33
yossarianukwe would be better of with a plain vga driver (nv) rather than nouveau12:33
yossarianukby default12:33
BluesKajoptimus hybrid gpu setups are difficult for starters , then trowing outboard monitors into mix sounds like chaos to me  :/12:36
BluesKajthrowing outboard monitors into the mix,...even12:37
BluesKajnouveau works fine with single gpus12:38
m_tadeuI'm settings "Automatically group similar windows" but nothing is happening (not grouping) do I have to set something else?13:04
hateballm_tadeu: is the taskbar full?13:05
hateballthere's an option for that as well iirc13:05
hateball"only group if full" or some such13:05
m_tadeuhateball: this option should tab similar windows...don't think it is related to the taskbar13:08
hateballm_tadeu: oh you are talking about a kwin rule?13:09
user|45404Hi there13:10
user|45404Has somebody got time to explain the compositor settings to me?13:10
m_tadeuhateball: yup...there's an option for that in systemsettings->windows management->window behavior13:11
hateball!help | user|4540413:12
ubottuuser|45404: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience13:12
hateballm_tadeu: I see. Not familiar with that one, sorry13:12
user|45404What do the different tearing prevention settings do? I tried every setting, but still get tearing.13:16
hateballuser|45404: what gpu chipset do you have?13:16
user|45404Nvidia 660 Ti13:17
hateballI find that only "full" works reliable for me on intel. if it doesnt crash. with nvidia I use ForceCompositionPipeline and disably vsync everywhere else13:18
hateballuser|45404: have a look here https://psyq123.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/another-way-to-fix-tearing-and-vsync-issues-using-the-nvidia-driver/13:18
hateballand you may want to enable TripleBuffer as well13:19
hateballuser|45404: and in plasma compositor settings, make sure to tick "disable effects for fullscreen etc"13:21
user|45404Thanks. I'll follow the instructions in the link.13:23
user|45404"Disable effects for fullscreen" works fine in games, but apparently things like YouTube don't count as fullscreen.13:25
hateballuser|45404: nope, but the link I gave should help with that13:36
hateballuser|45404: you can use this instead of having to figure out which output you're using: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"13:38
user|45404When using this, should I change the compositor settings to "Never" or leave them?13:44
chuck__Can someone help me setting up Flash? I can't listen to amazon music. I'm using chromium. I already did  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer with no success13:47
marco-parilloIs there a pepper flash installer (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/install-pepper-flash-chromium-ubuntu-14-04)? For myself, I prefer to use Chromium 99% of the time, but I simply switch to Chrome when I am on a Google property (there, they are tracking me anyway) or if I absolutely need flash.13:50
chuck__marco-parillo Is Chrome available for kubuntu? Only reason I use chromium is I didnt find chrome13:52
marco-parilloI do not believe it not in the repositories (Canonical makes some deals for partner (e.g. Skype), but I do not believe it includes Chrome), There is a "foreign" ppa (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome) but on Kubuntu I just download the .deb (https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/)14:01
chuck__marco-parillo: I'm on 32bit. I'm still stuck installing flash. Flashplugininstaller is installed. How do I actually get chromium to recognize this?14:08
marco-parilloAhh, that is why I migrated to 64-bit. I think what you need is pepper-flash. I would try: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/install-pepper-flash-chromium-ubuntu-14-0414:10
chuck__marco-parillo: Thanks! I don't get the notification that I need flash anymore. However it now says I should try later again which I will do14:14

soeeGraf_Westerholt: is thi Kubuntu or upstream bug ?14:30
Graf_Westerholtsoee, what is an upstream bug?14:31
soeeGraf_Westerholt: digiKam is not developed by Kubuntu - just packaged, so upstram bug will be something in digiKam itself = digiKam developers shoudl fix it14:32
Graf_Westerholtsoee, as I know, it is because of Kubuntu. Kubuntu is missing a package for the world map for digiKam.14:33
