DetroitBadBoyNow with the apps gone, are you able to look for the kde files that bprompt told you to look for?00:00
fuzeDetroitBadBoy: first id just like to say that it seems NetworkManager is having a lot of problems. is there any way to reinstall it?00:03
DetroitBadBoyfuze: read this page..........      https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD00:05
fuzehttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/nFQdY9Et/00:06
fuzeDetroitBadBoy:00:06
DetroitBadBoyhmmmmm00:07
DetroitBadBoyfuze: Do you have your install disk?00:07
fuzeDetroitBadBoy: from an old version00:08
DetroitBadBoyfuze: have you checked for updates?00:08
fuzeDetroitBadBoy: yes i did a distribution upgrade today hoping it would fix the problems. no luck00:08
DetroitBadBoyok00:08
DetroitBadBoystand by00:08
fuze0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.00:09
DetroitBadBoyYou are running kubuntu with plasma 5, right?00:09
DetroitBadBoyfuze: you are running Kubuntu with Plasma 5, right?00:11
fuzeDetroitBadBoy: yes00:11
DetroitBadBoyok... go to this link http://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/00:11
DetroitBadBoyDownload it again. Back up ALL your files. Then do a re-install. Sounds like that disro upgrade jammed things up00:11
fuzeDetroitBadBoy: no ive had this problem since i started using kubuntu00:12
DetroitBadBoyreally?00:12
DetroitBadBoyhmmmm00:12
fuzeyes particularly since i started theming plasma00:13
fuzeshould i install kde-runtime-data?00:13
DetroitBadBoyYou can do that, yes00:13
fuzekde-runtime-data is already the newest version (4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1).00:13
DetroitBadBoyWell from what you have shown and what you've typed it is looking like a mismatch somewhere00:14
fuzeis there a repair tool00:14
mtnfuze: reinstall of kubuntu is the easiest/quickest method00:15
fuzemtn: i have customized everything so much i dont want to start over00:15
mtnfuze: ok, good luck00:15
fuzethere is no repair program?00:16
mtnfuze: to repair what?00:16
fuzebroken files00:16
DetroitBadBoyfuze: I'm not seeing anything about that outside of the install CD itself00:16
mtnfuze: reinstall them, that is how you "repair" them00:16
DetroitBadBoyYes. That is the normal way to repair them. Just re-install them but take care. A lot of folks have looked at sites that make them think they are using genuine linux/ ubuntu/kununtu/ etc software when it is something that could possibly corrupt your OS00:17
mtnfuze: reinstall of kubuntu is the easiest/quickest method00:17
DetroitBadBoyYes00:18
mtnfuze: and safest, too00:18
DetroitBadBoyBack up all of your files. Re-install your apps and widgets00:18
fuzeok but how can i reinstall networkmanager00:18
bpromptI have an ssd, and an installation takes me 5mins00:18
mtnfuze: use the package manager00:18
fuzei have had to get help to install some programs so i really dont want to start over00:18
DetroitBadBoyYes, the package manager can help with the re-install of network manager00:19
bpromptthis thread has been going over an hour, I'd had installed kubuntu 12 times now =)00:19
mtnindeed00:19
DetroitBadBoyargh00:19
fuzeok reinstalling00:20
DetroitBadBoyfuze: Sorry about your troubles00:20
fuzealso i meant reinstalling network manager not the OS00:21
DetroitBadBoyok00:21
bpromptfuze:     back up all your $HOME folder, do a full reinstall, when done, backup the newly default $HOME folder, then you'd have the backup of your old configuration, which isn't working so well, and you'll have the new defaults, which are working, from there, use the old configuration, to see if it's a binary that's gone bonkers, or is really your configuration, if worse comes to worse, you can always put the default  $HOME back00:21
fuzeif i delete qml files will they automatically recreate?00:21
mtnfuze: if you think it is a config problem, make a new user, login as the new user. see how well it works for the new user00:22
bpromptfuze:    yes and no, depends on the app, some do, some don't00:22
bpromptyeap... that's a good tip, make a new user account, will be a new profile, to test if things work for it00:22

SternNLJust installed Kubuntu 16.04 on my laptop (fresh install). Now the mouse cursor is glitching. When moving my mouse inside a window, i'll get up to 30 mouse cursors. Is this a known bug? And if so, does someone have a solution?13:30
soeenever seen that :)13:31
hateballSternNL: what GPU?13:32
hateballSternNL: and is this regardless of application?13:32
SternNLhateball: Geforce GT 555M/635M. Regardless of application. Even on a plain desktop near a panel.13:38
hateballSternNL: are you using nVidia driver or nouveau ?13:39
SternNLI'm not sure how to find out. Previously I always used the Driver application for this, but this one doesn't work anymore.13:41
hateballSternNL: You can use "ubuntu-drivers" from the commandline13:41
hateballSternNL: "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" will(should) install any missing drivers13:43
wuschLORHi there how can is disable cups from auto adding printers in my network ?13:44
SternNLhateball: Sorry, I have trouble reaching some of the ubuntu repositories. Will try it later.13:49

In ubuntu 16.04 I had some graphical issues when I enabled the Drivers for my graphics Card (nvidia Geforce GTX 850M). After that I couldn't log in. Since I wanted to Switch completely from Windows to Linux I just wanted to know, if there are similar Problems. Do you know more14:35

QuantosI have a DLink dwa 130 and KUbuntu 16.0415:22
QuantosI can't seem to get the wifi working, I'm not sure what needs to be done15:22
QuantosThe dongle works, I've tested it on other rigs15:24
geniiQuantos: Is the package linux-firmware-nonfree installed?15:32
QuantosI think so, how do I verify it?15:32
genii( multiverse repository needs to be enabled to install it)15:32
QuantosI'm not sure how to check if that repository is enabled15:34
genii!repos15:35
ubottuThe packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories15:35
QuantosOkay, give me a few minutes to go over that15:36
yossarianuklooking at this bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/networkmanager-qt/+bug/1569674  It says 'fix released' however I still cannot change any wired network settings with network-manager GUI15:38
QuantosThat works for Muon, this is a different package I think15:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1569674 in networkmanager-qt (Ubuntu Xenial) "[Kubuntu] Fail to connect to wifi after a recent update" [High,In progress]15:38
BluesKajyossarianuk:  i ran a full-upgrade and the patch installed, that was a few days ago15:41
QuantosYeah, genii, those links don't apply in any way that I can find15:44
geniiQuantos: Simplest way is just to manually edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file ( with admin priveleges) and add the multiverse repository that way.15:45
QuantosThen tell me how to do that15:45
QuantosOh, it's already enabled in there15:48
QuantosSo how do I install the linux-firmware-nonfree15:49
geniiQuantos: sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-firmware-nonfree15:51
* genii runs back to work15:51
QuantosNo such package15:52
QuantosWow, you sure know your shit Genii - NOT15:52
QuantosCmon guys, I'm on 16.04, this worked so much easier on 15.0415:53

geniiInteresting, it's not showing on the USB bus16:09
QuantosAnd the other command doesn't work16:10
geniiSo that means it does not see a network device16:10
QuantosThere's the ethernet, or does it only see wifi?16:10
geniiQuantos: This IS a USB adapter, yes?16:10
QuantosYes, it is16:10
QuantosAnd it does work, I tested it on another machine16:11
geniiQuantos: So in that case, unplug it for about 5 seconds, plug it back in to the USB port, wait another 5 seconds, then issue: dmesg| tail -n20   ...and put the results of that command into a pastebin16:12
geniiwork, AFK 5-7 minutes16:12
QuantosOkay16:12
QuantosGenii, here it is https://paste.kde.org/p3z4t798w16:16
geniiQuantos: If you do: ifconfig -a    ... do you see a device named like wlx6c7220e24a3e  ?16:19
QuantosYes I do16:20
QuantosActually it's named exactly thta16:20
Quantosthat even16:20
geniiQuantos: See now if you can make a new wireless connection from network manager, using that as the device16:24
QuantosOkay16:25
QuantosGenii, where do I find the network manager?16:27
QuantosThink I found it16:28
QuantosDo I need to install that?16:28
geniiNo16:28
geniiNormally to get there, go to the network icon on your main bar, the one that says "Networks" when you hover on it, right click and choose Configure Network Connections16:29
QuantosI have network settings but I can't get anything16:30
QuantosOkay, it won't auto detect the SSID16:31
geniiQuantos: Is the wifi access point ( like router or such) set not to broadcast it's name?16:33
QuantosNo, I have the SSID set to broadcast16:33
QuantosI typed it in manually16:33
QuantosOkay, supposedly I have a new connection, but it hasn't asked me for my password yet16:35
geniiMy lunch is ready, I have to go eat. Will be back in 15-20 minutes16:35
QuantosOkay16:35
QuantosAnd it won't do a thing16:38
geniiQuantos: After looking at https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rt2800usb , Looks like the rt2800usb driver has some problems with more recent ralink chips ( ones made by mediatek ). So the options here would be to either use ndiswrapper, and dig out the Windows driver CD for that, or find the exact model of the adapter and see if there is a fixed driver for it on mediatek's site16:52
tahaanDoes anybody else experience issues with Kubuntu 16.04 stabilty?  Window decorators keep on disappearing16:52
QuantosOkay, it's a DLink DWA 13016:53
QuantosAny idea if it's covered by another driver?16:53
geniiQuantos: Could you look at whatever stickers or other writings on it, and see if there's more info like FCCID, or more exact model name? ( because there are several generations of DWA 130 with different chips)16:54
QuantosOf course there are, nothing can be easy16:54
QuantosPart number is cwa130na.....f1?16:55
QuantosThe f1 must be for something else16:56
QuantosOkay, just installed ndiswrapper17:03
geniiQuantos: Using the output of your previous pastebin, where it says "RT chipset 5392, rev 0223 detected" the only result on the mediatek site is for a Windows driver, so the ndiswrapper seems the next method to try17:04
geniiQuantos: http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/pcimpcicbrt2860rt2760rt2890/ is the link to that17:05
QuantosI've installed ndiswrapper, just trying to find out how to use it17:05
genii!ndiswrapper17:05
ubottuWireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs17:05
geniiQuantos: Basically, you're going to need to extract from the Windows driver the driver files, put them in their own directory underneath of /lib/firmware and then point ndiswrapper at those17:06
geniiwork, afk17:06
