| Clifspeare | Hey, how does Kubuntu install and configure Grub? I have an existing Archlinux install that I'm installing Kubuntu beside. I don't want Kubuntu removing it from my boot menu. | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| lethu | you can setup grub afterwards to include your Archlinux os | 02:03 |
| Clifspeare | thanks | 02:03 |

| staeksauce | also, why does the renderer stay on the default settings even after you install 3rd party drivers? | 07:55 |

| abhishek | is the driver manager working, right now? I am using kubuntu 16.04 with kde plasma 5.6.4(backports) | 07:57 |
| abhishek | is there any update fix for it? | 07:57 |
| staeksauce | no, I had to install 15.10 | 07:57 |

| ModManMatt | Sweet | 14:33 |
| soee | :) | 14:34 |
| ModManMatt | just playing with my new kubuntu install :) | 14:34 |
| soee | did you added backports ppa ? | 14:35 |
| ModManMatt | havent added much of anything yet | 14:35 |
| soee | so you have fresh 16.04 ? | 14:36 |
| ModManMatt | took me a moment to get it to run on a mac mini v1 | 14:36 |
| ModManMatt | yes | 14:36 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: How does it perform? | 14:36 |
| soee | ModManMatt: pleae add this ppa as posted here: http://wire.kubuntu.org?p=950 | 14:36 |
| soee | it will install Plasma 5.6 on your system - makes it more smooth :) | 14:37 |
| ModManMatt | pretty good for an old system at first i was going to use lubuntu but when i saw the mac mini had a 1.6ghz and 2 gb ram i decided i would use something a bit mor graphical | 14:37 |
| tytan | soee: really?! | 14:37 |
| soee | tytan: yes | 14:37 |
| ModManMatt | just looking up backport ppe | 14:38 |
| tytan | soee: Do you know how I can use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in console? | 14:38 |
| ModManMatt | so this brings in some older stuff to help run smotother? | 14:38 |
| soee | tytan: CTRL + SHIFT + C | 14:38 |
| soee | ModManMatt: a bit yes :) | 14:38 |
| ModManMatt | :) | 14:38 |
| ModManMatt | only bug i have noticed bad so far was that the discover store runs so slow and messed up slider | 14:39 |
| soee | ModManMatt: it is buggy, yes - we cant do much abaout it as it is upstream bug | 14:39 |
| tytan | soee: Oh no, I'm such a noob xD | 14:39 |
| soee | ModManMatt: you can use: muon | 14:40 |
| soee | it is package manager | 14:40 |
| tytan | where can I change that to the "standard" way? =) | 14:40 |
| ModManMatt | if ugo to repos and go direct to repo browse view then it works fine i think its just the main slider home page suggestions that arent working | 14:40 |
| ModManMatt | i installed ubuntu store runs fne | 14:40 |
| soee | tytan: probably configuring temrinal shortcuts but i suggest leaving it like this (you will avoid some random pasting into temrial) :) | 14:40 |
| ModManMatt | i hAve a fair amount of linux centos knowledge to me its same thing with a pretty interface slapped on it | 14:41 |
| === vorap2 is now known as Vorap | ||
| ModManMatt | how can i turn off password popup on every move i make i know its kind of a no no with servers but this is just a sandbox for me | 14:42 |
| tytan | soee: true that since the console is a very powerful tool | 14:43 |
| ModManMatt | indeed ^ | 14:43 |
| ModManMatt | all systems are consoles underneath you just click a button that does a command in background with a gui | 14:43 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: Not really. At least not like a bash. But I get what you mean ^^ | 14:44 |
| ModManMatt | only so many preset interface commands though and the consle is unlimted | 14:44 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: Actually the bash is just a user interface like a GUI ^^ | 14:45 |
| tytan | But it works as a rough analogy | 14:45 |
| ModManMatt | i still have so much to learn :) hehe | 14:45 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: *deep sh*t incoming* You may never stop to learn new things. that's what makes our lives veautiful | 14:46 |
| ModManMatt | most of my linux knowledge comes from running cent os dedicated servers with cpanel ;) | 14:46 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: I'm just a sysadmin who was lucky enough to make a living from knowing stuff about linux and BSD | 14:47 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: I'm upgrading KDE at the moment. I may need to log out to make the changes so don't wonder if I disconnect in a few moments | 14:48 |
| ModManMatt | ;) | 14:49 |
| ModManMatt | i miss the old irc days i wish mirc 6.2 worked on here i still have the custom built version i made for blackcats-games.net | 14:50 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: Oh god, how old are you?! :D | 14:51 |
| soee | why? :-) | 14:51 |
| * tytan is just 23yo | 14:51 | |
| soee | konversation client is nice | 14:52 |
| tytan | soee: I use konversation 1.6 at tzhe moment. It's just perfect | 14:52 |
| ModManMatt | just seems limited works great though yes | 14:52 |
| ModManMatt | is there a place for scripting? | 14:52 |
| soee | tytan: yup :) | 14:53 |
| tytan | ModManMatt: I think irssi might be the client for you then ^^ | 14:53 |
| soee | ModManMatt: i dont kno | 14:53 |
| ModManMatt | ill check i can always run my 6.2 on my windows machine but i like mirc scripting and customizing :) | 14:53 |
| ModManMatt | Koonvo does have the best reviews on store | 14:55 |
| ModManMatt | is there a codec pack like k-lite for kubuntu to make vlc play all file extensions | 14:56 |
| soee | sudo apt install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:57 |
| ModManMatt | ^ :) | 14:58 |
| ModManMatt | works thanks | 14:58 |
| ModManMatt | oh cool that is in the ubutnu store also | 15:01 |
| tytan | How can I delete folders that are too big for my trash bin in kde? | 15:06 |
| tytan | without the console | 15:06 |
| soee | from Dolphin ? | 15:06 |
| tytan | yes | 15:06 |
| tytan | this is pretty annoying for me | 15:06 |
| rodolfojcj | Shift + Del ?? | 15:07 |
| tytan | yes, thzat works! | 15:07 |
| tytan | thank you very much ^^ | 15:07 |
| soee | tytan: go to Dolphin configuration and in Services section check option "Delete" | 15:08 |
| soee | tytan: then you will have Delete in context menu | 15:08 |
| soee | what is exactly what Shift + Del does | 15:08 |
| rodolfojcj | or you can go to Settings > Toolbars Settings and then add the Delete action to the right side (Current Actions) | 15:09 |
| rodolfojcj | this way a new Delete button icon will be easily available | 15:10 |
| tytan | soee: nice. this was what I was looking for | 15:16 |

| staeksauce | none of the desktop effects seem to have any effect whatsoever no matter what I change, does Plasma need to be restarted to see changes? | 21:47 |
| soee | staeksauce: are they enabled ? | 21:49 |
| staeksauce | I'm ticking boxes on and off in Desktop Effects | 21:50 |
| staeksauce | is that what you mean | 21:50 |
| soee | staeksauce: well general desktop effects, you can toggle them by pressing ALT + SHIFT + F12 | 21:51 |
| staeksauce | that doesn't have any effect | 21:51 |
| soee | staeksauce: than it is strange, it should atleast (vivisble for you) disabe panel shadowm change its transparentcy etc. | 21:52 |
| soee | if nto maybe there is something wring and effects are not loaded at all | 21:52 |
| soee | staeksauce: you are on 16.04 with backports enabled ? | 21:53 |
| staeksauce | 15.10 | 21:53 |
| soee | uh there is old plasma :/ can you upgrade to 16.04? | 21:53 |
| soee | 16.04 is a LTS so it is recommended to upgrade and i'm not ure if 15.10 is still supported | 21:54 |
| staeksauce | i tried 16.04 in a VM but I'm not experienced enough to know how to get Nvidia drivers | 21:54 |
| soee | !support wily | 21:54 |
| soee | staeksauce: its pretty simple | 21:54 |
| soee | you have to add 1 extra ppa and install the desired driver version | 21:55 |
| soee | staeksauce: so you type in console: | 21:55 |
| soee | 1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa | 21:56 |
| soee | 2. sudo apt update | 21:56 |
| soee | 3. sudo apt install nvidia-367 | 21:56 |
| soee | if you want different driver version just change the number in package name :) | 21:56 |
| staeksauce | why don't they show up in driver manager? | 21:56 |
| soee | driver manager is a bit broken | 21:56 |
| staeksauce | desktop effects were working at one point, not sure why I need to upgrade to 16.04 just for that | 21:57 |
| staeksauce | maybe i have the wrong compositor settings | 21:58 |
| staeksauce | i changed compositor settings because I was getting absolutely horrendous screen tearing | 21:59 |
| soee | staeksauce: 15.10 is supported only 9 months after release | 21:59 |
| soee | so after 2 months your OS will not be supported anymore (no security updates etc.) | 21:59 |
| staeksauce | ah | 21:59 |
| staeksauce | will upgrading from 15.10 clutter everything up? | 22:00 |
| staeksauce | really don't want to reinstall | 22:00 |
| soee | well it shouldn't, if something looks wrong try to create new user and check if your current settings break something :) | 22:01 |
| staeksauce | "it shouldn't" means it probably will :p | 22:01 |
| soee | well for many users it works fine, for some there are some problems | 22:02 |
| acheron88 | desktop effects can be a bit grumpy with some nvidia cards after resume from suspend | 22:03 |
| soee | if you decide to upgrade, be sure to add backports ppa to have latest Plasma | 22:03 |
| staeksauce | i have no idea what backports are | 22:03 |
| acheron88 | occasionally it won't let me channge them until I restart kwin | 22:03 |

| adymitruk | not a good experience | 22:15 |
| soee | why? | 22:15 |
| Javabean | what could cause an install of 16.04(option install 3rd party software used, didn't allow updates/didn't have network configured) to boot and get to the kubuntu plasma splash... then crash back to an initramfs prompt | 22:23 |

| danann | any ideas? | 22:36 |
| danann | oh god, every step is a day-long challenge. this is why linux can't have nice things | 22:48 |
| staeksauce | should I be using XRender or OpenGL in compositor settings? | 22:51 |
| soee | you can use OpenGL | 22:56 |
| staeksauce | i only see transparency when using XRender | 22:58 |
| staeksauce | or any desktop effect for that matter | 22:58 |
| staeksauce | but XRender causes screen tearing | 22:58 |
| staeksauce | is that just something i have to live with | 22:58 |
| soee_ | staeksauce: have you seen what i wrote? | 23:01 |
| staeksauce | about the upgrade | 23:02 |
| staeksauce | I did it | 23:02 |
| staeksauce | and upgraded Plasma | 23:02 |
| soee_ | [00:57] <soee> staeksauce: be sure to set: Tearing prevention (vsync) to "Full screen reapints" and check option "Suspend compositor for full screen windows" | 23:02 |
