=== lethu_ is now known as lethu [01:58] 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. [02:03] you can setup grub afterwards to include your Archlinux os [02:03] thanks [02:03] no problem [04:28] hi [05:11] My touch pad moves everytime I type [05:11] System Setting>Input Devices>Touchpad>Enable/Disable Touchpad has an option of Timeout, what should it be? === Roey is now known as ModeLockedKatz === ModeLockedKatz is now known as Roey [05:48] hey!

[05:50] http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=950 [05:50] offical backport to 16.04 [05:51] is the backport preferred over neon? === Guest58154 is now known as omenius [07:51] i keep getting multiple tabs in the task manager bar for the same window? [07:55] also, why does the renderer stay on the default settings even after you install 3rd party drivers? [07:56] I was still getting atrocious tearing until I figured out it was still using XRender [07:57] is the driver manager working, right now? I am using kubuntu 16.04 with kde plasma 5.6.4(backports) [07:57] is there any update fix for it? [07:57] no, I had to install 15.10 [07:58] this is simultaneously the best looking and buggiest distro I've ever used [08:32] hmm...

[14:35] havent added much of anything yet [14:36] so you have fresh 16.04 ? [14:36] took me a moment to get it to run on a mac mini v1 [14:36] yes [14:36] ModManMatt: How does it perform? [14:36] ModManMatt: pleae add this ppa as posted here: http://wire.kubuntu.org?p=950 [14:37] it will install Plasma 5.6 on your system - makes it more smooth :) [14:37] 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] soee: really?! [14:37] tytan: yes [14:38] just looking up backport ppe [14:38] soee: Do you know how I can use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in console? [14:38] so this brings in some older stuff to help run smotother? [14:38] tytan: CTRL + SHIFT + C [14:38] ModManMatt: a bit yes :) [14:38] :) [14:39] only bug i have noticed bad so far was that the discover store runs so slow and messed up slider [14:39] ModManMatt: it is buggy, yes - we cant do much abaout it as it is upstream bug [14:39] soee: Oh no, I'm such a noob xD [14:40] ModManMatt: you can use: muon [14:40] it is package manager [14:40] where can I change that to the "standard" way? =) [14:40] 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] i installed ubuntu store runs fne [14:40] tytan: probably configuring temrinal shortcuts but i suggest leaving it like this (you will avoid some random pasting into temrial) :) [14:41] i hAve a fair amount of linux centos knowledge to me its same thing with a pretty interface slapped on it === vorap2 is now known as Vorap [14:42] 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 [14:43] soee: true that since the console is a very powerful tool [14:43] indeed ^ [14:43] all systems are consoles underneath you just click a button that does a command in background with a gui [14:44] ModManMatt: Not really. At least not like a bash. But I get what you mean ^^ [14:44] only so many preset interface commands though and the consle is unlimted [14:45] ModManMatt: Actually the bash is just a user interface like a GUI ^^ [14:45] But it works as a rough analogy [14:45] i still have so much to learn :) hehe [14:46] ModManMatt: *deep sh*t incoming* You may never stop to learn new things. that's what makes our lives veautiful [14:46] most of my linux knowledge comes from running cent os dedicated servers with cpanel ;) [14:47] ModManMatt: I'm just a sysadmin who was lucky enough to make a living from knowing stuff about linux and BSD [14:48] ModManMatt: I'm upgrading KDE at the moment.

It's just perfect [14:52] just seems limited works great though yes [14:52] is there a place for scripting? [14:53] tytan: yup :) [14:53] ModManMatt: I think irssi might be the client for you then ^^ [14:53] ModManMatt: i dont kno [14:53] ill check i can always run my 6.2 on my windows machine but i like mirc scripting and customizing :) [14:55] Koonvo does have the best reviews on store [14:56] is there a codec pack like k-lite for kubuntu to make vlc play all file extensions [14:57] sudo apt install kubuntu-restricted-extras [14:58] ^ :) [14:58] works thanks [15:01] oh cool that is in the ubutnu store also [15:06] How can I delete folders that are too big for my trash bin in kde? [15:06] without the console [15:06] from Dolphin ? [15:06] yes [15:06] this is pretty annoying for me [15:07] Shift + Del ?? [15:07] yes, thzat works! [15:07] thank you very much ^^ [15:08] tytan: go to Dolphin configuration and in Services section check option "Delete" [15:08] tytan: then you will have Delete in context menu [15:08] what is exactly what Shift + Del does [15:09] or you can go to Settings > Toolbars Settings and then add the Delete action to the right side (Current Actions) [15:10] this way a new Delete button icon will be easily available [15:16] soee: nice. this was what I was looking for === claydoh is now known as Guest86041 === hemanth is now known as yoda97 === kat is now known as kat_x === kat_x is now known as kat_xy === hemanth is now known as yoda97 === claydoh is now known as Guest89175 === claydoh is now known as Guest70040 [17:45] I have a problem with the lock screen in Kubuntu [17:45] it has a huge delay [17:46] it may have something to do with the horrible Nvidia driver === yann is now known as Guest10490 === claydoh is now known as Guest68123 === it is now known as Guest36843 [19:16] I have tired many times to install kubuntu on this gateway laptop but it wont get past language selection. I tried disconnect from internet and connected along with 32 and 64 bit. I have 4GB ram so 64 bit should be my choice. I searched all over seeing the same issue but not solution. Ubuntu also doesn't work. Any ideas? [19:17] installing from usb drive made from ISO using rufus 2.9 [21:01] I just got answer from a kde developer that suggested me to ask kubuntu developers to release the latest stable packages of Discovery to fix this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363392 ; where can I request the update? [21:01] KDE bug 363392 in discover "The GUI is always misbehaving" [Normal,Resolved: downstream] [21:10] Hi I tried to install Kubuntu 16.04 64bit but it had a problem with loading Grub. Any idea's on a fix? [21:15] viewer|49955: loading when? After installation ? [21:16] maybe you have choose the wrong disk for grub installation during the setup? [21:17] *choosen === claydoh- is now known as claydoh [21:47] 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? [21:49] staeksauce: are they enabled ? [21:50] I'm ticking boxes on and off in Desktop Effects [21:50] is that what you mean [21:51] staeksauce: well general desktop effects, you can toggle them by pressing ALT + SHIFT + F12 [21:51] that doesn't have any effect [21:52] staeksauce: than it is strange, it should atleast (vivisble for you) disabe panel shadowm change its transparentcy etc. [21:52] if nto maybe there is something wring and effects are not loaded at all [21:53] staeksauce: you are on 16.04 with backports enabled ? [21:53] 15.10 [21:53] uh there is old plasma :/ can you upgrade to 16.04? [21:54] 16.04 is a LTS so it is recommended to upgrade and i'm not ure if 15.10 is still supported [21:54] i tried 16.04 in a VM but I'm not experienced enough to know how to get Nvidia drivers [21:54] !support wily [21:54] staeksauce: its pretty simple [21:55] you have to add 1 extra ppa and install the desired driver version [21:55] staeksauce: so you type in console: [21:56] 1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [21:56] 2. sudo apt update [21:56] 3. sudo apt install nvidia-367 [21:56] if you want different driver version just change the number in package name :) [21:56] why don't they show up in driver manager? [21:56] driver manager is a bit broken [21:57] desktop effects were working at one point, not sure why I need to upgrade to 16.04 just for that [21:58] maybe i have the wrong compositor settings [21:59] i changed compositor settings because I was getting absolutely horrendous screen tearing [21:59] staeksauce: 15.10 is supported only 9 months after release [21:59] so after 2 months your OS will not be supported anymore (no security updates etc.) [21:59] ah [22:00] will upgrading from 15.10 clutter everything up? [22:00] really don't want to reinstall [22:01] well it shouldn't, if something looks wrong try to create new user and check if your current settings break something :) [22:01] "it shouldn't" means it probably will :p [22:02] well for many users it works fine, for some there are some problems [22:03] desktop effects can be a bit grumpy with some nvidia cards after resume from suspend [22:03] if you decide to upgrade, be sure to add backports ppa to have latest Plasma [22:03] i have no idea what backports are [22:03] occasionally it won't let me channge them until I restart kwin [22:04] staeksauce: http://wire.kubuntu.org?p=950 [22:04] staeksauce: this is extra repository with new packages version that can't go through standard archive updates === soul is now known as Guest90541 [22:07] will sudo apt-get upgrade upgrade me to 16.04? [22:08] sudo do-release-upgrade [22:15] I used the backports ppa to upgrade my kubuntu 16.04 to plasma 5.6 [22:15] not a good experience [22:15] why? [22:23] 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] not plasma, sorry... meant plymouth [22:36] Hi. I'm trying to install kubuntu 16.04 on my laptop, but I can't get it to view any of my HD/SSD partitions, and installation gets stuck on 'Prepare" step when I click Continue (next step would be Disk Setup) [22:36] any ideas? [22:48] oh god, every step is a day-long challenge. this is why linux can't have nice things [22:51] should I be using XRender or OpenGL in compositor settings? [22:56] you can use OpenGL [22:58] i only see transparency when using XRender [22:58] or any desktop effect for that matter [22:58] but XRender causes screen tearing [22:58] is that just something i have to live with [23:01] staeksauce: have you seen what i wrote? [23:02] about the upgrade [23:02] I did it [23:02] and upgraded Plasma [23:02] [00:57] staeksauce: be sure to set: Tearing prevention (vsync) to "Full screen reapints" and check option "Suspend compositor for full screen windows" [23:02] [00:57] and OpenGL version to 2.0 [23:02] oh I must have been disconnected when you typed that [23:02] soee: started using the wallet [23:02] didn't have any migration in place.. thank god that after ppa-purge everything still worked [23:02] the wallet idea is horrible in my opinion [23:02] using a database to store this stuff is probably the reason I'll eventually leave kubuntu [23:02] i got disconnected :] === adam__ is now known as adymitruk [23:04] hmm konversation dropped the connection and now my id is in use [23:06] no matter what I do, I see no desktop effects unless I use XRender === romulo is now known as romulop [23:08] you are on PC or laptop ?
