[00:44] <tux|dude> Has anyone else been having issues with the plasma shell slowing down over time or something. Y know things just begin getting sluggish and you either have to start a new session, reboot or restart the plasma shell to fix it?
[05:00] <beeezerk> to download kubuntu on my pc by usb do i just download it to usb or do i have to open to usb
[05:16] <omkar__> Hello can i upgrade kubuntu 12.04 to kubuntu 16.04 directly
[05:17] <omkar__> ?
[05:42] <kronin69352> need help to upgrade from Kubuntu 15.10 to 16.04. Seems like there is a command line - just can't remember...?
[05:49] <ShalokShalom> omkar__: so far as i know is the way > 12.04 > 14.04 > 16.04
[05:49] <ShalokShalom> i recommend a clean installation
[05:49] <ShalokShalom> backup before, in each case, all data
[05:54] <kronin69352> To ShalokShalom: I have do it that way for a long time, was going to try "do-release-upgrade -m desktop" as root AND @ the console jikawtk
[05:54] <ShalokShalom> i see
[05:55] <ShalokShalom> i recommend, what Mint does, a clean installation
[05:55] <ShalokShalom> never try your way and use no kubuntu yet
[05:56] <kronin69352> Thanks 4 you opinion - I'll do a klean install.
[05:56] <kronin69352> solong
[05:57] <kronin69352> bye
[05:57] <kronin69352> quit
[07:57] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:20] <Maxiride> just ran a mv between two folders, however within dolphin I still see the file from the source directory. It's like the mv is copying instead of moving..
[09:28] <lordievader> Did you refresh the dolphin view?
[09:30] <Maxiride> lordievader: yep
[09:30] <Maxiride> and the mv just terminated itslef from the konsole due to lack of space on the hdd
[09:31] <Maxiride> I used mv with the options -f  -u and .v
[09:31] <Maxiride> -v
[09:31] <Maxiride> might it be that the source folder has spaces in its name?
[09:33] <lordievader> Ah, that explains it.
[09:33] <lordievader> What mv actually does is copy -> remove. If the copy fails the file is not removed.
[09:34] <Maxiride> D:
[09:34] <Maxiride> even for filenames?
[09:34] <lordievader> What do you mean?
[09:35] <Maxiride> this issue in the mv command affects also file names with spaces in it or just foldernames with spaces?
[09:35] <lordievader> What issue?
[09:35] <lordievader> The removing happens after each file transfer.
[09:36] <lordievader> Thus if you have a folder with files A, B and C in it and you move it. mv will move A, delete A, move B, delete B, move C, delete C.
[09:36] <Maxiride> aah ok
[09:36] <lordievader> Suppose the move B action fails, it will abort.
[10:02] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[10:15] <Blackjack> hey i'm new to kubuntu, after i've installed the nvidia driver my dashboard application background become black all of a sudden
[10:15] <soee> do you have desktop effects enabled ?
[10:16] <Blackjack> you mean the desktop behavior thingy?
[10:16] <soee> press ALT + SHIFT + F12 to toggle desktop effects
[10:16] <Blackjack> i think some of those things are enabled by default
[10:16] <Blackjack> it doesn't effect it
[10:16] <Blackjack> i've tried alt + shift + f12
[10:24] <habits> Hey, while you are discussing the nvidia drivers, everytime I switch from NVIDIA to Intel GPU and log out for the change to take effect, the log out takes ages.
[10:24] <habits> Does this happen to all of you?
[10:25] <viewer|74243> is there a way to factory reset kubuntu
[10:25] <viewer|74243> or something else alike that
[10:25] <viewer|74243> except for another clean install?
[10:25] <clivejo> what do you want to reset?
[10:26] <clivejo> sometimes creating a new user can keep with desktop settings issues
[10:26] <clivejo> keep-help
[10:26] <viewer|74243> i just do a clean install of kubuntu
[10:26] <viewer|74243> after a few times add up
[10:27] <viewer|74243> some stuff went wrong
[10:27] <viewer|74243> for example, when i'm trying to change the alt tab switcher thingy
[10:27] <viewer|74243> after i applied it
[10:27] <viewer|74243> it wont take effect
[10:27] <clivejo> what version did you install?
[10:27] <viewer|74243> 16
[10:27] <clivejo> what minor?
[10:27] <clivejo> 16.?
[10:28] <viewer|74243> pardon me?
[10:28] <viewer|74243> 64bit
[10:28] <clivejo> 16.04 Xenial?
[10:28] <viewer|74243> and my dashboard application background became dark
[10:28] <viewer|74243> totally black
[10:28] <viewer|74243> it happens after i'm installing the nvidia driver
[10:28] <viewer|74243> yup
[10:28] <viewer|74243> 16.04
[10:28] <clivejo> that is strange, never heard of that happening
[10:29] <viewer|74243> which one are you talking about?
[10:29] <viewer|74243> the black background or setting?
[10:29] <clivejo> both
[10:29] <viewer|74243> i see
[10:29] <viewer|74243> that's why it's no use googling about it
[10:29] <clivejo> how did you install the driver?
[10:29] <viewer|74243> i've found nothing
[10:30] <viewer|74243> apt install nvidia-364
[10:30] <viewer|74243> just alike that
[10:30] <clivejo> and that’s definitely the driver for your GPU?
[10:30] <viewer|74243> yup
[10:30] <viewer|74243> the driver is working
[10:31] <viewer|74243> i'm moving to kde because ubuntu gnome 16's nvidia driver is not working at all
[10:31] <viewer|74243> it keep crashing on my laptop
[10:31] <clivejo> have you ever sudu a GUI application?
[10:31] <clivejo> sudo
[10:31] <viewer|74243> like what?
[10:31] <viewer|74243> i don't get it
[10:31] <viewer|74243> sorry
[10:32] <clivejo> for example sudo kate so you can edit config files?
[10:32] <viewer|74243> nope
[10:32] <viewer|74243> i'm just installing some app
[10:32] <clivejo> because that will corrupt your desktop
[10:32] <viewer|74243> never do force configuration
[10:33] <clivejo> did it do it suddenly, like after you rebooted or installed something?
[10:33] <viewer|74243> nope
[10:33] <viewer|74243> it happens exactly after i'm installing the driver
[10:33] <viewer|74243> the desktop looks kinda differrent too
[10:33] <viewer|74243> like the logo in the bottom left became smaller
[10:33] <viewer|74243> and the bottom bar kinda looks jaggy
[10:34] <clivejo> probably just a different resolution
[10:34] <clivejo> try a different lower resolution
[10:34] <viewer|74243> maybe
[10:34] <viewer|74243> but what a black background on my dashboard?
[10:34] <viewer|74243> and the sys settings?
[10:35] <clivejo> also can you use setting up a new user and logging into that account, see how things look there
[10:35] <clivejo> use-try
[10:36] <viewer|74243> okay
[10:36] <viewer|74243> i'll try it
[10:36] <viewer|74243> thanks
[16:39] <kevin> Hello
[16:41] <Kruzer> Hi all
[16:43] <user|98303> Hi, I just installed my first Kubuntu, but I'm not getting wireless. It's looks like a Broadcom issue I'm seeing on so many posts, but I can't figure out how to install the driver. Does anyone know how to do this?
[16:46] <Kruzer> How's everyone doin?
[16:48] <BluesKaj> user|98303, sudo apt install bdmwl-kernel-source
[16:49] <BluesKaj> user|98303, dorrection: sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
[16:50] <BluesKaj> correction even
[16:51] <user|98303> This is what I get
[16:51] <user|98303> DKMS: install completed.
[16:51] <user|98303> Failed to request new MokSB state
[16:51] <user|98303> modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available
[17:03] <viewer|79568> Hello
[17:03] <soee_> hiho viewer|79568
[17:04] <viewer|79568> KDE is better than Unity
[17:05] <soee_> well we all have unique taste :)
[17:05] <viewer|79568> ah..yes, I agree with you.
[17:06] <viewer|79568> Gnome 2 was my favorite.
[17:06] <Kruzer> I havent tried it viewer.  Couldnt tell you, I just loaded Kubuntu after running Mint Cinnamon and Mint KDE for a while
[17:06] <soee_> i never liked much unity that is why i am on Kubutnu for few years
[17:09] <viewer|79568> Shutdown takes very long time in Ubuntu (also Kubuntu)
[17:10] <soee_> viewer|79568: define very long
[19:13] <user|42939> hello there. any ideas how to install nvidia drivers on kubuntu 16.04 step by step ? thank you
[19:25] <soee_> :/
[20:15] <d9500> where is the default sysem folder in which wallpaper image files are located in kubuntu?
[20:18] <soee_> d9500: the default Plasma wallpaper?
[20:21] <d9500> soee_, not really, but the folder where wallpapers are unpackaged in after i install a new wallpapers package
[20:21] <d9500> from the repos
[20:22] <soee_> uhm
[20:23] <d9500> for example, if i was to apt install plasma-workspace-wallpapers, where would dpkg put the file/s?
[20:24] <Dragnslcr> Check /usr/share/wallpapers
[20:25] <d9500> looking now, Dragnslcr
[20:35] <BlueProtoman> Sometimes, when a command opens a Web page in my browser (Chromium), it opens the same page twice, in two tabs.  How can I fix this?  (Kubuntu 15.10)
[21:07] <d9500> Dragnslcr, you were correct and /usr/share/wallpapers is the folder...it didn't have the wallpaper i was looking for though
[21:08] <d9500> so that particular image file isn't part of the package
[21:08] <d9500> but thanks again!
[23:15] <Abe_> hello?
[23:18] <Abe_> how can I remove the "Menubar button from KDE?" http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=51092251 "the button with the M" upper left corner of windows ?
[23:18] <Abe_> using qtcurve
[23:20] <soee_> Plasma 5 ?
[23:20] <soee_> it looks like KDE4 though
