| DclRules | I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with Kontact. The Kaddress book runs, kmail works but kontact fails when I start it up. If I launch it from a terminal it tells me it took a segfault. Any ideas? | 00:36 |
| dmatt | DclRules: are you fully updated? what happened when is started to fail? | 00:44 |
| DclRules | Yes. This was a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04. and I just checked for updates and it claims there are none at the moment. | 00:47 |
| DclRules | Additional background information is that it gives me the following two lines in the console before crashing. | 00:48 |
| DclRules | cannot find .rc file "kontactsummary_part.rc" for component "kontact" | 00:49 |
| DclRules | No such XML file "/home/beatty/.local/share/kontact/default-.rc" | 00:49 |
| dmatt | DclRules: how did you install kontact? | 00:50 |
| dmatt | dmatt: ah, it is preinstalled i suppose | 00:51 |
| dmatt | lol | 00:51 |
| DclRules | I installed it either through the normal kubuntu installer when they installed the OS or I did it with synaptic can't be sure which. Its been a few days before I got to try to set up Kontact. | 00:53 |
| dmatt | DclRules: did you turn off any services? | 00:54 |
| DclRules | Not that I'm aware of. How would I do that? | 00:54 |
| dmatt | DclRules: System Settings/Startup and Shutdown/Background Services | 00:56 |
| DclRules | I can get the list of services. Which one need to be running for Kontact to work? | 00:56 |
| dmatt | DclRules: services - that was just guess, if you did not mess with it it should be set OK | 00:59 |
| DclRules | dmatt thank found the panel. But no I didn't turn any services off nor did start any. | 01:00 |
| dmatt | what files do you have in /home/beatty/.local/share/kontact/ ? | 01:00 |
| DclRules | The only file there is default-kmail2.rc | 01:01 |
| dmatt | DclRules: try to run akregator from internet menu | 01:04 |
| DclRules | I was able to run Akregator. The panel is up now. | 01:06 |
| dmatt | end akregaor from menu. do you have new file default-akregator.rc in direcotry /home/beatty/.local/share/kontact/? | 01:10 |
| === mkv is now known as m4v | ||
| DclRules | No I don't. The only file starting with "default- under /home/beatty/.local/share is default-kmail.rc | 01:14 |
| dmatt | post output of command ls -la /home/beatty/.local/share/kontact/ | 01:19 |

| dmatt | i am asking that to check if you have correct writing rights to that folder | 01:20 |
| dmatt | things sometimes mess up if you run some programs with sudo rights and they stop working afterwards | 01:21 |
| DclRules | Yes I do have writing rights to the folder. | 01:21 |
| DclRules | Your on to something. I did run sudo kontact and it came up. | 01:23 |
| dmatt | DclRules: stop it and chown that folder to your user beatty | 01:25 |
| valorie | yikes | 01:27 |
| valorie | never use sudo on gui applications | 01:27 |
| valorie | !sudo | 01:27 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:27 |
| DclRules | Yes I know that but I wanted to see if it would run or was it broken. | 01:28 |
| DclRules | chown beatty to all folders in .local | 01:28 |
| DclRules | Still the same problem | 01:29 |
| dmatt | DclRules: try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kontact | 01:35 |
| DclRules | OK. | 01:35 |
| dmatt | dmatt: see if there is any error while it executes | 01:35 |
| DclRules | Reinstalled kontact. Still has the same symptoms. | 01:38 |
| dmatt | have you configured kmail for mail already? try to rename default-kmail2.rc to default-kmail2.rc.old and try to start kontact again, maybe it will be recreated correctly | 01:47 |
| DclRules | Renamed the file as you suggested. ran kontact from the terminal and it still segfaults. There is no new default-kmail2.rc file just the .old (renamed file). When kontact starts up it also starts kmail which comes up correctly even though the default-kmail2.rc file was moved. | 01:53 |
| dmatt | DclRules: how exactly is Kontact failing? It segfaults but at the same time also starts kmail? | 01:58 |
| DclRules | Yes when it starts up kmail panel opens and operates normally. There is no kontact panel and the console messages complains about several things the last being it can find the default-.rc file. | 02:01 |
| DclRules | I used pastte.kde.org to paste my console messages in case the would help. The title is "Kontact console messages" | 02:04 |
| dmatt | DclRules: pls paste also image of started contact | 02:06 |
| valorie | DclRules: we need the link | 02:12 |
| valorie | one cannot search the paste site for titles | 02:13 |
| dmatt | valorie: i suppose it was the last one https://paste.kde.org/pugid7s8h | 02:14 |
| DclRules | I uploaded a screen shot at http://imgur.com/JTjYCmq where the konsole in light blue and the kmail that's open was launched by the kontact command from the console. | 02:15 |
| dmatt | DclRules: you have fresh install of 16.04 or update drom previous release? | 02:16 |
| dmatt | DclRules: and did you use existing home or created new one? | 02:16 |
| valorie | DclRules: you might chmod your entire $HOME | 02:16 |
| valorie | looks like ~/.config is unreachable too | 02:16 |
| DclRules | Fresh install of 16.04 | 02:17 |
| valorie | but you ran sudo kontact, did you not? | 02:18 |
| valorie | that immediately messes with your permissions | 02:18 |
| DclRules | Yes I can run sudo Kontact. I did that after I couldn't get kontact to run as from the start menu | 02:20 |
| dmatt | DclRules: do as valorie suggested <valorie> DclRules: you might chmod your entire $HOME | 02:21 |
| valorie | that never hurts, and might help | 02:22 |
| DclRules | Working on that now. I have some nas connections I have to work around. | 02:23 |
| valorie | just as a reminder, permissions = chown -R username folder/ | 02:24 |
| dmatt | DclRules: set both owner and group on your user | 02:24 |
| valorie | so chown -R /home/beatty/ | 02:25 |
| dmatt | i think it should be: chown -R username:username folder/ | 02:27 |
| DclRules | I did the chown plus chgrp with sudo to catch anything that super user owned. Still fails with a segfault. The files that were changed from root were .config/kontact_summaryrc , .config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc , .config/QtProject.conf , and .config/katemetainfos | 02:28 |
| dmatt | DclRules: long time ago i had weird crashes when i had session automatically restored on start, because it restored some processess in wrong state | 02:32 |
| dmatt | DclRules: try to set "Start with an empty session" in System Settings/Startup and Shutdown/Desktop Session and reboot. Reboot could also help with stuck Akonadi. | 02:34 |
| DclRules | valorie and dmatt I want thank you for all your help. I will try to start with an empty desktop session and I'll reboot. But its getting late and work starts very early for me tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help its greatly appreciated!!! | 02:36 |
| valorie | yw | 02:37 |
| dmatt | DclRules: you're welcome. hopefully you manage to fix it | 02:37 |
| valorie | dmatt: is there any reason to think that the user changed the group too? | 02:37 |
| valorie | username:username is for both as I understand it | 02:38 |
| valorie | just was reading man chown | 02:38 |
| dmatt | valorie: he did not answer if it was new /home or reused /home partition | 02:38 |
| valorie | ah | 02:38 |
| valorie | you're right then, that would have been safer | 02:39 |
| Irish_canon | Hello all... Installing a Xerox 7665 Workstation PPD file and not able to get it to except the pin | 02:44 |
| Irish_canon | Anyone have any luch with doing this | 02:46 |
| dmatt | Irish_canon: printing without pin works? | 02:47 |
| dmatt | Irish_canon: you might have to define user and pin on xerox first and then match it in printing dialog. But I never tested it on linux. | 02:50 |
| goddard | if i try and remove imagemagik it wants to install foomatic-filters and paps | 02:52 |
| goddard | i don't need printer software | 02:52 |
| goddard | any help? | 02:53 |
| dmatt | goddard: lots of programs have imagemagick as dependency, not only printing | 02:56 |
| goddard | dmatt: i dont use those apps | 02:57 |
| dmatt | goddard: if it could not be removed then you have something installed which needs it | 03:00 |
| goddard | dmatt: it can be installed but during the removal process it installs foomatic-filters like I said about | 03:01 |
| dmatt | dmatt: i could imagine exporting to pdf from libreoffice might use it | 03:01 |
| goddard | i dont use libreoffice i use calligra | 03:01 |
| goddard | it doesn't have a ton of stupid dependencies like java | 03:03 |
| goddard | calligra is pure Qt | 03:04 |
| dmatt | calligra also uses imagemagick, but I do not know if it is optional or hard dependency | 03:04 |
| goddard | dmatt: for printing? | 03:04 |
| Irish_canon | I added the pin in the PPD file | 03:06 |
| dmatt | goddard: I do not know code of calligra suite, but for example krita could use imagemagick for whatever manipulation or input/output filtering | 03:08 |
| goddard | dmatt: know how to check dependency tree? | 03:16 |
| dmatt | goddard: apt-cache rdepends imagemagick | 03:19 |
| goddard | dmatt: no useful information with that command | 03:22 |
| goddard | just lists itself | 03:22 |
| dmatt | ok try this one: apt-cache rdepends --installed --recurse imagemagick | 03:26 |
| dmatt | goddard: anyway, for normal desktop use i would not remove any supporting library/program, especially if you do not know where and how it is used, which seems to be the case here | 03:33 |
| dmatt | dmatt: thise few megabytes are not worth the hassle and potential breakage | 03:34 |
| dmatt | goddard: ^^^^ | 03:34 |
| dmatt | goddard: I need to leave, maybe somebody else could assist you more | 03:38 |
| r_rios | I'm trying to fix a broken update. The apt-get install -f process stops with the text "usermod : no changes". The console just stays there and nothing else happens until I stop the process. Why? Please help. | 04:32 |
| valorie | hmmm | 04:35 |
| valorie | r_rios: don't know why, but please try `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` | 04:35 |
| valorie | again | 04:35 |
| r_rios | valorie: Just a sec | 04:41 |
| r_rios | valorie: apt update updates the sources, but then asks me to run dpkg --configure -a | 04:45 |
| r_rios | apt full-upgrade asks me to run dpkg --configure -a | 04:45 |
| r_rios | I run dpkg --configure -a, but now it fails in the sa-compile step | 04:46 |
| r_rios | /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: unknown relocation (0x2a) in section `.init' | 04:47 |
| r_rios | But apt full-upgrade now runs anyway | 04:48 |
| r_rios | But there are broken dependencies, and it asks me to run apt install -f | 04:49 |
| r_rios | Looks like it is working now...? | 04:49 |
| valorie | possibly the internet burped during your first upgrade | 04:52 |
| valorie | it's happened to me like that..... | 04:52 |
| valorie | there was a gcc upgrade, but that was a few weeks back | 04:53 |
| r_rios | valorie: Yeah, but the sa-compile process now keeps failing. It seems the broken dependencies have been fixed, but this issue remains | 04:54 |
| r_rios | I'll see if rebooting helps | 04:54 |
| r_rios|desktop | valorie: Same problem. I can now successfully boot to the desktop, though | 05:03 |
| r_rios|desktop | valorie: https://paste.kde.org/pdvj1s45k | 05:04 |
| r_rios|desktop | Ah, yes, that should be because I didn't really finish the installation | 05:06 |
| valorie | hmm, I wouldn't have rebooted before trying it one more time | 05:08 |
| valorie | don't forget your up-arrow | 05:08 |
| valorie | it's my constant friend | 05:08 |

| valorie | obviously it worked here | 06:35 |

| valorie | ok, so that gives you more information | 06:58 |
| valorie | is there anything else you can't type in kate and/or konsole? | 06:58 |

| konrados | I need to mount a remote directory to my local PC. I installed sshfs and my coworker have me this: sshfs -p 24 ${remote_addr}${remote_path} /home/user/mount/$mount_dir - the coworker has left and I have no idea what are thos ${} for - I mean why a dollar and those brackets? I thought this is how we use variables in a terminal? | 08:26 |
| valorie | !remote | 08:27 |
| valorie | hmmm | 08:27 |
| valorie | perhaps in the mount link | 08:28 |
| valorie | !mount | 08:28 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs !PartitionManager or !GParted (see also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mount partitions from System Settings -> (Advanced tab) Removable Devices. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 08:28 |
| valorie | konrados: are you going to be doing this regularly? | 08:28 |
| Quetzalcoatl | konrados: did you tried replace ${remote_addr} and ${remote_path} with the ip of the machine and the path ? | 08:29 |
| valorie | this might help for background: http://askubuntu.com/questions/412477/mount-remote-directory-using-ssh | 08:30 |
| konrados | valorie I hoped I'll this this once and it will be there forever... | 08:30 |
| konrados | Quetzalcoatl, almost... I entered the data inside the brackets and it didn't work | 08:30 |
| Quetzalcoatl | for example: remote_addr: 192.168.xxx.xxx and remote_path with: \\folder1\folder2 | 08:30 |
| Quetzalcoatl | without $ sign and brackets | 08:31 |
| konrados | sec... | 08:31 |
| Quetzalcoatl | sshfs -p 24 192.168.xxx.xxx | 08:32 |
| valorie | please look at the example I linked to for some background, so you understand what you are doing | 08:32 |
| * valorie goes afk | 08:32 | |
| Quetzalcoatl | look at the link provided by valorie | 08:32 |
| Quetzalcoatl | sshfs maythux@192.168.xx.xx:/home/maythuxServ/Mounted ~/remoteDir | 08:33 |
| Quetzalcoatl | this is from the link | 08:33 |
| konrados | Quetzalcoatl valorie I'm on it | 08:34 |
| Quetzalcoatl | konrados: hope that will help and solve your problem | 08:35 |
| konrados | Quetzalcoatl, valorie thank you! After a few more problems I did it. But I forgot to add -ro param (readonly), can I mount it once again, or I have to unmount it and mount again? | 08:41 |
| Quetzalcoatl | konrados: great ! you have to unmount and mount again | 08:42 |

| tahaan | I'm going to try to get along without my external monitor for a few days because my gut-feeling tells me it is related to plugging/unplugging the external monitor. | 09:30 |
| tahaan | I think Driver manager is also borked. It doesn't appear to do anything? | 09:32 |
| hateball | tahaan: driver manager is broken yes, you can use ubuntu-drivers from a terminal tho | 09:32 |

| ykamchi | HI all | 13:13 |
| ykamchi | I am trying to change the "Look And Feel" of my freshed installed Kubuntu. There are only 2 "Breeze" options with no way to install more ... | 13:14 |
| ykamchi | any idea why? | 13:14 |
| hateball | ykamchi: because more havent been made, I am guessing :) | 13:17 |
| ykamchi | mmm .... I think that in older versions there were more.... | 13:17 |
| Pici | /25/25 | 13:17 |
| ykamchi | Maybe I need to install them before they are available throw the system settings GUI ? | 13:18 |
| marco-parillo | For Desktop Theme, there is the Get New Themes button. For Cursor Themes, I sudo apt update && sudo apt install oxygen-cursor-theme -y | 13:18 |
| ykamchi | that is right, for the Theme there is an option to add ... but not the look and feel | 13:19 |
| ykamchi | I want a different login screen | 13:19 |
| ykamchi | in System/login settings there are no options for that as well | 13:21 |
| ykamchi | so, acctualy, there is no way to control the login and the splash screen .... | 13:21 |
| hateball | ykamchi: you can manually add sddm themes, there's no builtin function to do so tho | 13:23 |
| ykamchi | ok ... That is what I am looking for ... can you point me to good instructions and a place to download ? | 13:24 |
| ykamchi | hateball | 13:24 |
| ykamchi | hateball | 13:24 |
| ykamchi | hateball: ok ... That is what I am looking for ... can you point me to good instructions and a place to download ? | 13:24 |
| hateball | ykamchi: there are a couple of sddm-theme-* packaged, other than that it's just google | 13:25 |
| hateball | I dont really bother with it myself, sorry | 13:25 |
| ykamchi | so, apt-get install sddm-theme-* ? | 13:25 |
| hateball | no that would install all of them :D | 13:25 |
| hateball | !tab | 13:25 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:25 |
| hateball | ykamchi: apt search sddm-theme | 13:26 |
| ykamchi | :) thx ... let me check | 13:26 |
| hateball | but if you *want* all themes, by all means use * | 13:26 |
| hateball | otherwise just install one at a time | 13:26 |
| ykamchi | hateball ... thanks for the assistance ... It asks me first to run dpkg --configure -a .... did it and continue with * ... now I shall be able to choose them from the GUI ? | 13:29 |

| hirotadasanjo | hh | 13:30 |
| ykamchi | hateball: reboot needed? I do not see them in the system settings GUI | 13:30 |
| ykamchi | I did the apt-get install as root (after sudo su -) ... is that a problem ? | 13:32 |
| hateball | ykamchi: I don't think a reboot should needed, altho I suppose it doesnt hurt | 13:41 |
| hateball | Might be a reload of sddm is needed, and that effectively reboots you | 13:41 |
| ykamchi | how do I reload sddm ? | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | ykamchi: no need for sudo su , sudo will suffice | 13:42 |
| ykamchi | reboot did not do the work :( | 13:42 |
| hateball | hmmm | 13:42 |
| ykamchi | The apt-get install pass ok ... but nothing in the GUI . | 13:43 |
| ykamchi | id there any sddm reload that reboot does not include ?> | 13:43 |
| Quetzalcoatl | i just noticed that the network applet from system tray doesnt display any information (e.g.: speed). also i noticed that wheni'm using iptraf it doesnt display any informations regarding speed on ether0 | 13:43 |
| hateball | ykamchi: I can see the new sddm theme right away. Where are you looking? | 13:44 |
| Quetzalcoatl | is that bcz canonical changed the name from eth0 into something like enp0s3xxx? | 13:44 |
| hateball | ykamchi: press alt+space to bring upp krunner, type "sddm" and you should get an entry | 13:45 |
| Quetzalcoatl | i dont understand why you have to change something that works for years into something that broke or can broke things in theOS | 13:46 |
| ykamchi | nice :) | 13:46 |
| hateball | Quetzalcoatl: blame systemd. also you can get the old behavior back if you so desire | 13:46 |
| Quetzalcoatl | hateball: how can i return to the old behavior ? | 13:47 |
| ykamchi | so it is not on the system settings gui, or it is a bug that system settings gui doesnt show it ? | 13:47 |
| hateball | Quetzalcoatl: add "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" to your grub bootline | 13:47 |
| Quetzalcoatl | without breaking my installation :-D | 13:47 |
| hateball | beware of breakage | 13:47 |
| hateball | Quetzalcoatl: some reading https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 13:48 |
| ykamchi | thanks hateball .... I will manage from here :) | 13:50 |
| Quetzalcoatl | thanks hatebal | 13:50 |

| r_rios|phone | Hello. After uninstalling the fglrx driver from my 16.04 installation, I no longer have video. I tried reconfiguring the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, but it didn't change anything. How do I enable the free drivers? | 13:52 |
| hateball | ykamchi: :) | 13:54 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: You'll need to purge fglrx | 13:55 |
| r_rios|phone | And I keep getting a "ring 3 stalled for more than xmsec" message | 13:55 |
| r_rios|phone | When I switch to a tty | 13:55 |
| r_rios|phone | hateball: I've already uninstalled it without purging. What should I do? Reinstall/uninstall? | 13:56 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: run "sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh" then "sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*" | 13:56 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: see this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx | 13:59 |
| r_rios|phone | I'm trying, but I'm getting flooded by these ring stalled messages | 14:00 |
| r_rios|phone | Really hard to type in anything | 14:00 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: is this a regular boot, where you've switched to a tty? if so, try rebooting to just a recovery console | 14:01 |
| r_rios|phone | Good idea | 14:01 |
| r_rios|phone | hateball: the script doesn't exist. I've already removed fglrx. | 14:09 |
| r_rios|phone | I think I should install it then purge | 14:09 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: then follow the other steps | 14:10 |
| hateball | r_rios|phone: It should be noted, I have avoided ATI/AMD for a decade+ since I switched to Linux... so my knowledge is limited to searching wikis | 14:10 |
| ykamchi | hateball ... sorry, but one more question ... the change fixed the login screen, but not the splash ... any way I can change the splash ? | 14:11 |
| hateball | ykamchi: Which splash is this? The one displayed after you login? | 14:12 |
| ykamchi | yep ... | 14:12 |
| ykamchi | there was time ago a nice one that icons were changed .... | 14:12 |
| OerHeks | sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth will give you a list of screens you can choose from | 14:12 |
| ykamchi | the setting and otheres | 14:12 |
| hateball | plymouth doesnt have much to do with the plasma login | 14:13 |
| OerHeks | oops | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | r_rios|phone: do you have xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu driver installed, if so that should work on 16.04 | 14:15 |
| r_rios|phone | BluesKaj: I do | 14:15 |
| hateball | ykamchi: well it's under system settings - workspace theme - splash screen | 14:16 |
| hateball | ykamchi: but I dont know quite how to add any... I have it disabled | 14:16 |
| r_rios|phone | I think I messed up when I didn't purge fglrx, and now I can't reinstall it to try and purge it | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | r_rios|phone: you may need to rinstall amdgpu | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | reinstall | 14:17 |
| r_rios|phone | I tried uninstalling the amdgpu, radeon and ati xserver drivers, then reinstalling the ati driver | 14:17 |
| r_rios|phone | I'm not sure what to do if this doesn't work | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | no reinatall the amdgpu | 14:18 |
| r_rios|phone | BluesKaj: apt install --reinstall xserver-video-video-amdgpu? | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | r_rios|phone: yes, with sudo | 14:27 |
| Smurphy | That didn't work for me - on the Inspiron 15. Had to go onto the AMD Download site, and download the Closed-source driver... | 14:28 |
| r_rios|phone | I'll now reboot to see if it worked | 14:28 |
| r_rios|phone | It seems it worked | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | closed source, aka proprietary | 14:29 |
| r_rios|phone | Logo appears normally now, wasn't before | 14:29 |
| Smurphy | :) | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | Smurphy: it'll work until your next kernel module/kernel upgrade | 14:30 |
| r_rios|phone | I have accelerated video :D | 14:31 |
| r_rios|phone | Thanks BluesKaj | 14:31 |
| r_rios|phone | Also, thanks hateball :) | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | r_rios|phone: glad to help | 14:32 |
| ykamchi | hateball ... sorry ... I was offline ... | 14:37 |
| ykamchi | hateball: so, I guess you cannot assist ;( | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | ykamchi: afaik there are no splash options other than the default | 14:41 |
| Smurphy | BluesKaj: Na - it updates these drivers all the time using dkms. | 14:54 |
| dbacc | anyone got breeze-dark working with kubuntu 16.04? | 14:56 |
| yossarianuk | dbacc: what do you mean ? What isn't working ? | 15:01 |
| === ghostcube__ is now known as ghostcube | ||
| dbacc | yossarianuk: go to system settings ---> workspace theme --> change to breeze dark . go to color , double check that breeze dark is selected. Then apply. However, even after a reboot the color scheme of the windows did not change, whereas most of the "outer" appearance like the panel the launcher, etc. changed to the dark scheme. Can you reproduce the problem? | 15:07 |
| Smurphy | Works here. | 15:11 |
| yossarianuk | nope - i'm using breeze dark and it works ok | 15:12 |
| yossarianuk | Is it GTK apps that look wrong ? | 15:12 |
| yossarianuk | Or QT/KDE ones also ? | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | Smurphy: as long your driver registers with dkms the kernel module will rebuild the closed source driver, unless you instalkled the driver from a ppa ,if not a manual re-install is needed | 15:14 |
| dbacc | hmm. OK. Is there any way I could start tracking down the? No, its basically all the apps. I can go back to "Colors" and under preview it shows me the expected ouput, but it actually still looks like the standard Breeze theme (except for the frame of the window, which is "correctly" displayed in dark. | 15:15 |
| dbacc | btw I had Ubuntu installed on this machine installed kde afterwards and then upgraded form 15.10 to 16.04 if this makes any difference | 15:22 |
| acheron88 | dbacc: I had something that sounds fairly similar on one machine that had been upgraded through several versions | 15:48 |
| acheron88 | think perhaps it was some packages/libraries/config left over from previous version, as a fresh install solved it | 15:50 |
| dbacc | hmm, okay. actually the problem was already there on 15.10, so it's at most the "upgrading" to KDE part. That doesn't sound very promising though. | 15:52 |
| dbacc | I just posted on askubuntu. Maybe someone finally knows the answer :) | 15:53 |
| yossarianuk | dbacc: maybe an idea to test by adding a new user - logging in with that and changing to breeze-dark to see if a fresh profile works | 15:58 |
| Smurphy | BluesKaj: Yes. That's what I noticed. | 15:58 |
| acheron88 | yossarianuk: worth a try. didn't work on my case, so had to actually be some system cruft somewhere and not userprofile. | 16:01 |
| yossarianuk | acheron88: dbacc: try - changing to breeze-dark - restart - change back to breeze, then change to breeze-dark again... | 16:25 |
| yossarianuk | worth a go. | 16:35 |
| yossarianuk | If I remember the first time I choose breeze-dark it wasn't correct until I toggled... | 16:36 |

| BluesKaj | dbacc: install kubuntu, not kde on ubuntu | 18:30 |
| acheron88 | dbac: can see from their screenshot that they are using a widget style other than the default breeze | 18:36 |
| acheron88 | gtk+ and qtcurve styles don't always take colour schemes well | 18:39 |
| qdata | I am using the dark-breeze on a new install of kubuntu, and it works with some anomalies. What I can't remember is if I did the Workspace-Theme meta choice, or not. If the meta-theme approach is not working you might try to use the Application Style, Color, and Workspace Theme -> Desktop Theme and set all three to dark-breeze and reboot | 18:39 |
| qdata | I forgot to add the Icon theme; there is a breeze-dark icon set as well | 18:46 |
| dbacc | BluesKaj: that' actually not my choice. But also should work this way. acheron88: The problems look quite similar to mine, and I double, no triple checked that every theme is pointing to breeze-dark | 18:52 |
| dbacc | nothing ever changed, even with a newly created user. that"s really strange. | 18:53 |
