[00:15] <schnoodles> Anyone know if there is a good way to install skype through command line with kubuntu. It seems that standard ubuntu just enables the community repositories and wondering if that is "preferred" on kubuntu.
[00:17] <adymitruk> why does installing morse not fix the telegram account creation in IM
[00:34] <soee_> schnoodles: or download it from their website (.deb file) and click on it to install
[01:04] <schnoodles> soee_, that is a possibility but I am trying to build a command line setup script.
[01:06] <staeksauce> how do I stop the bouncy icon next to the mouse cursor when I open a program?
[01:08] <soee_> System Settings -> Applications -> Launch Feedback
[01:08] <Dragnslcr> Darn, beat me by 3 seconds
[01:09] <staeksauce> thx
[01:24] <libreM> Hi, anyone out there?
[01:25] <libreM> I find my /etc/apt/sources.list to be unnaturally short.
[01:25] <libreM> Is this a bug on my machine or is this just the natural thing?
[01:25] <libreM> I use kubuntu 16.04
[01:39] <Guest96366> Good Evening Guys !
[01:41] <valorie> hmmm, how short? you didn't say
[01:42] <Unit193> I edited mine to be shorter. :3
[01:44] <staeksauce> I originally installed Kubuntu on a separate SSD and unplugged my Windows drive beforehand so that I could choose which drive to boot from . Then I upgraded to 16.04 and now I have a GRUB menu when I boot into the Kubuntu drive. Is there anyway to get rid of GRUB
[02:57] <sjr_> has anybody has issues with systemsettings in Ubuntu 16.04?
[02:57] <sjr_> specifically widget style settings having no effect
[02:57] <sjr_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-systemsettings/+bug/1584540
[02:58] <staeksauce> i was having all sorts of trouble with desktop effects
[03:17] <valorie> SJr: a few people have reported that, but I don't think they have figured out the common denominator yet
[03:18]  * valorie has had no such problems
[03:33] <goddard> Is it possible to get qmlc included in the repos?
[05:37] <o`connor> hi, I just installed kde and ran the kmail setup wizard
[05:37] <o`connor> now I keep getting error 53 from something called kwallet
[05:37] <o`connor> and I can't read my mail
[05:37] <o`connor> help?
[05:39] <o`connor> sorry, error 55
[05:40] <o`connor> "Encryption error while attempting to save the wallet kdewallet. Error code is 55 (Invalid value). Please fix your system configuration, then try again"
[05:40] <o`connor> then something about gpg keys
[05:42] <o`connor> also this popup keeps coming up
[05:42] <o`connor> this is so annoying
[05:49] <o`connor> I just disabled the kde wallet subsystem
[05:49] <o`connor> is that the right thing to do?
[05:50] <valorie> if you don't need it....
[05:50] <valorie> I use mine with no problem
[05:50] <o`connor> valorie: i want to use kmail without error popups happening
[05:50] <valorie> if it works for you, great
[05:50] <o`connor> valorie: ? it's not working, I'm asking for help
[05:51] <valorie> if not, you can ask in #kontact which is the chan kmail uses
[05:51] <valorie> I mean, if you disabled the wallet and it works for you, great
[05:51] <o`connor> ok, thanks
[05:51] <valorie> if not, I'm unsure
[05:51] <o`connor> valorie: that was just to get the error popups to stop
[08:39] <yossarianuk> hi - anyone using the backports PPA for 16.04?  Just wondering how stable is it ?
[08:40] <yossarianuk> i.e -> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4kcjob/plasma_564_now_available_in_kubuntu_backports/
[08:40] <yossarianuk> also there is no news on the kubuntu site -> http://kubuntu.org/news/
[08:42] <acheron88> using it here. seems pretty stable. perhaps more so than 5.5.5
[08:43] <yossarianuk> acheron88: cool - in my experience the later kde/plasma versions are always better than previous.
[08:43] <yossarianuk> which is why having rolling desktop packages would be a good idea.
[08:43] <acheron88> there are few bugs, but mostly to do with upstream rather than kubuntu
[08:44] <acheron88> seems slicker and snappier
[08:44] <claus> hi
[08:46] <acheron88> yossarianuk: if you make use of opening recent docs from the K menu, you may want to take account of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363337
[08:46] <yossarianuk> acheron88: cheers
[08:47] <yossarianuk> acheron88: do I need to clear out the ~/.cache/ folders - I remeber with 15.10 when I enebaled backports PPA I had to.
[08:48] <acheron88> I did on one machine, and didn't on another. with this upgrade seemed to make no difference to me, but perhaps a good idea all the same
[08:50] <yossarianuk> acheron88: thanks - looking forward to trying plasma 5.6.4
[09:18] <pats_pending> Does anyone know how to set up Muon?  I have no software list.
[09:19] <hateball> pats_pending: Is this a fresh install?
[09:20] <pats_pending> Yes.   I installed VLC from the recommendations, but I cannot search for software like Dia or Synaptic, it comes up blank.
[09:21] <acheron88> may need you to run in terminal 'sudo update-apt-xapian-index'
[09:22] <mparillo> If it is Muon Discover, sometimes searching retrieves nothing, but drilling down the categories works.
[09:25] <pats_pending> I am trying the update which appears to be doing something in the terminal ending with the statement Rebuilding Xapian Index.
[09:26] <pats_pending> It terminated cleanly, but Muon is busy with Krita.  I will restart when it is done.
[09:26] <acheron88> try closing and opening Muon again when it finishes
[09:27] <pats_pending> Will do.
[09:33] <pats_pending> Muon has hung for the moment, the level of information it provides is rather poor.  It just says installing with no progress bar or status window.
[09:34] <acheron88> it's old and creaky and gtk, but I prefer synaptic
[09:35] <acheron88> or a lot of the time simply apt/apt-get
[09:38] <yossarianuk> Wow - very impressed with the Backports for 16.04 - Plasma 5.6.4 seems snappier than 5.5.5
[09:39] <pats_pending> It has installed Krita after a wait, but restarting it has not revealed any new software.  I can't even find Synaptic to replace it, so I will apt it.
[09:40] <yossarianuk> as well as being faster the plasma update fixed this really annoying network-manager bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/networkmanager-qt/+bug/1569674
[09:40] <yossarianuk> I highly recommend installing the PPA - a better experience!
[09:41] <vedu> I am having some issues after upgrading to 16.04 :( Window animations are not working and after login the screen is non responsive
[09:41] <acheron88> pats_pending: odd. works here and I can find synaptic with it
[09:41] <yossarianuk> Would have been better if kubuntu had gone with 5.6.x in the first place - its already fixed issues in stock 16.04
[09:42] <acheron88> vedu: what did you upgrade from
[09:42] <pats_pending> I assume that it is a local problem, but I am succeeding with apt for Synaptic as a backup.  As usual I tinkered with the installation on a computer I need for work tomorrow.
[09:42] <acheron88> yossarianuk: did not come out in time to beat the feature freeze for xenial I think
[09:43] <vedu> archeron88: 15.04
[09:43] <vedu> acheron88: ^
[09:44] <vedu> acheron88: plus, I had installed ubuntu 15.04, then installed the KDE packages
[09:44] <yossarianuk> acheron88: that makes sense - I would highly recommend anyone trying the update though - its also fixed some colour issues with dark-breeze theme in GTK apps as well.
[09:47] <acheron88> vedu: could be graphics related, or sddm is sometimes glitchy, but I would perhaps clean out tmp files first and reboot.
[09:48] <acheron88> i.e. in ~/.cache/ /tmp/ /var/tmp
[09:49] <vedu> acheron88: I vaguely remember some notification "some error, graphics something was restarted"
[09:49] <vedu> acheron88: ok cool. will try that
[09:49] <acheron88> you've jumped up several versions of kde/plasma with that upgrade, so anything left in tmp/cache from old versions can cause probs
[09:51] <vedu> acheron88: sudo rm -rf :(
[09:51] <acheron88> ummmm.... yes - at your own risk
[09:52] <acheron88> I do that to clear tmp/cache from old versions sometimes, but am very careful with it
[09:54] <acheron88> I generally would NOT advise
[09:54] <vedu> acheron88: ok I just did that and rebooted. somehow my wifi connected and konversation opened :D
[09:55] <vedu> acheron88: but the plasma workspace didn't load apparently
[09:55] <vedu> and yakuake is giving an error "unable to load the konsole component"
[09:56] <acheron88> think I saw a bug on that yakuake prob the other day
[09:56] <vedu> no no. lots of things didn't load
[09:56] <acheron88> the rest hopefully some others can help as I have to go in a few secs
[09:57] <vedu> hmm. I'll just restart again
[09:57] <vedu> giong to tty1
[10:40] <vedu> I just deleted my temporary files and bottom application laucher is not running
[10:45] <vedu> I get this when running `kstart plasmashell` : https://gist.github.com/vedant1811/4433eb9e2809f28ad9466cc429a533b5
[10:49] <BluesKaj> howdy all
[10:51] <vedu> BluesKaj: in deep trouble. very few KDE apps are running, inlcuding plasmashell
[10:51] <vedu> :(
[11:01] <ejay> Hi all. Can you guys recommend me some good music player?
[11:02] <BluesKaj> ejay, amarok
[11:02] <ejay> BluesKaj: except amarok
[11:02] <BluesKaj> vedu, which kde apps?
[11:03] <BluesKaj> ejay, VLC
[11:03] <ejay> i tried clementine (it's fine), tomahawk (it's shit) and amarok (it's in FUBAR state)
[11:03] <lordievader> MPD in combination with Cantata.
[11:04] <vedu> BluesKaj: plasmashell, kickoff... Here's the output I get when trying to run from konsole: https://gist.github.com/vedant1811/4433eb9e2809f28ad9466cc429a533b5
[11:05] <vedu> only konsole, konversation, chromium are working...
[11:07] <BluesKaj> vedu, and why are you running plasmshell from the cli , what's wrong with launching your apps directly from launcher ?
[11:09] <vedu> BluesKaj: it wasn't there. Things are working now. after I ran $ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
[11:10] <vedu> BluesKaj: the entire footer of launcher, taskmanager was gone. now its back. phew
[13:53] <user|90527> When I send my computer into suspention and resume it I get a blank black screen. If I send it into suspention when I'm in the virtual console and resume it it works, but if I change in the graphical console, everything freezes and I have to do a hard reset. Is there any workaround or is there no way of fixing it? I have a Acer Aspire V5 if that he
[13:53] <user|90527> lps you
[16:03] <tytan> Hello everyone, I have a question about cron and kubuntu 16.04. There is a directory called /etc/cron.daily in my rootfs. Are scripts laying there executed daily even without further configuration?
[16:12] <Dragnslcr> tytan- yes, though you might need to make sure that the owner and permissions are set correctly
[16:15] <tytan> Dragnslcr: owner and rights? Aren't those files executed by root?
[16:20] <Dragnslcr> I think so, yeah. I don't remember offhand if the cron system requires them to be owned by root.
[16:20] <Dragnslcr> I'm pretty sure they have to be set to be executable, though
[16:24] <tytan> Dragnslcr: You're probable right. A script owned by root and made executeable works. Thank you very much!
[16:25] <Dragnslcr> You're welcome
[16:25] <Dragnslcr> I just remember that some distros have slightly odd requirements for scripts in cron.daily
[16:30] <DracX> Hi all. I have a problem with kontact when I use the dark theme: unread messages are not recognizable in the message list, as they seem to be dark in  default :-( Any hints where to change the settings?
[16:31] <DracX> sorry, I have now found it.
[16:37] <DracX> Hi all. A big thank you to everyone involved providing plasma via backports.
[16:39] <DracX> of course I meant to say plasma 5.6 (num lock :-)
[16:42] <DracX> BTW: I just looked it up: the backport of plasma 5.6 to kubuntu 16.04 is not yet indicated on https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Packages#Kubuntu
[16:46] <DracX> A question: I have recently installed an additional HDD in my computer. If I want to encrypt it (just as my kubuntu installation is), what do I have to do?
[16:56] <marco-parillo> DracX: I hope this is a bit clearer.
[17:00] <DracX> thx marco-parillo , will be worth it for others (I have already updated)
[17:06] <yalu> I got a burning question: with what program can I install Kubuntu? Ubiquity doesn't do the trick. The continue button is unclickable in second step. I found several open bug reports on these (some quite old)
[17:09] <marco-parillo> The only time that happens to me is when I try to connect to my WEP wireless network while installing. If I connect later, I get the continue button.
[17:13] <yalu> I connected before ... I think I'll bypass the bug this way. but it's really a kludge to leave this into the distribution
[17:14] <yalu> actually I tried the install on the TRAIN, with no wireless and with the same result. don't even get the dialog about wireless if I turn the receiver ON.
[17:15] <yalu> anyways, I get stuck in the same step... which has now become the third step.
[17:44] <al8989> hello everyone :) I was wondering if I could install the application bluegriffon on kubuntu I did not see listed when I went to add new softwar, but I know it is available for linux
[17:47] <andy123> hi al8989. There is a linux tar.bz2
[17:48] <al8989> yes someone sent it to me on the jubuntu channel thank you
[17:48] <al8989> yes someone sent it to me on the kubuntu channel thank you
[17:48] <andy123> np
[17:49] <al8989> if only itwas in the software so it could automatically update itself whena new version comes out as I know the author is goign to be realeasing newversionssoon
[17:54] <acheron88> think there are some beta builds for 16.04?
[17:54] <acheron88> but tar.gz only?
[18:05] <yalu> There is no text mode installation as well?
[18:21] <lethu> Hello, I have managed to bug the synaptic package manager, where can I find it's config files?

[18:34] <Mr_Red> nothing yet
[18:43] <mib> Hy everyone
[18:43] <mib> I have a little problem and was hoping someone could help me a bit.
[18:43] <mib> I was impatitent to upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 the day it came out, but because I use kubuntu backports my system was in flux ever since - I have problems with unmet dependencies.
[18:43] <mib> But now that kubuntu backports are avaliable ( which they are right? ) I tough I would simply do apt-get update/upgrade and all dependencies would be re-downloaded and installed, but sadly it looks that is not the case.
[18:43] <mib> So my question is how can I fix this https://paste.kde.org/prwusdjhu problem without doing `apt-get install -f`? - which I don't want because that would remove over 280 packages from my system.
[18:50] <mib> I tried apt-get clean and autoclean and then update, to get latest data but when doing upgrade it looks like it does not find the right/latest versions of packages
[18:58] <keithzg> Yikes, dual-monitors that aren't the same orientation is . . . not handled well these days.
[18:59] <keithzg> Popup dialog windows in System Settings keep appearing off the screen, with no way for me to move them :(
[19:08] <Mr_Red> me retiro chavales
[19:48] <goddard> Can you avoid the "The program has unexpectedly finished." in Qt creator or is that the normal text when a program is closed?
[20:19] <pepee> hi. I used to be able to change the backlight brightness by running "qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl setBrightness <number>"
[20:19] <pepee> that used to work in KDE4. how do I do this in KFM5?
[20:24] <abhishek> is there anyway to install 4.6 kernel on kubuntu?
[20:25] <pepee> abhishek, yes, but you have to install/update it manually:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[20:26] <pepee> abhishek, the other option is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack , but there are no new HWE kernels yet
[20:27] <yossarianuk> beware of using mainline if you use the nvidia driver - make sure you know the manual install process for the driver
[20:28] <pepee> ^yeah, or any other proprietary graphics drivers
[20:28] <pepee> s/graphics//
[20:28] <keithzg> pepee: Hrmm, using qdbusviewer I can see that that method still seems to exist, I don't know why it wouldn't be working anymore. Not at a laptop at the moment so I can't try it out on my system.
[20:29] <pepee> keithzg, it actually seems to call the method... but it doesn't change the brightness
[20:29] <yossarianuk> ps - anyone running 16.04 you are missing out if you haven't installed the backports ppa
[20:30] <yossarianuk> plasma 5.6.4 is aewsome
[20:31] <yossarianuk> no idea why but it just seems snappier
[20:31] <pepee> I was thinking about using the PPA, guess I could try that
[20:31] <yossarianuk> plus several bugs are fixed...
[20:32] <yossarianuk> pepee: https://plus.google.com/110954078302330754910/posts/XyzeaMysWFB
[20:32] <pepee> it's sad that we have to use PPAs for this, though
[20:32] <yossarianuk> wanted to try neon as well but UEFI still lacking...
[20:32] <yossarianuk> this is what neon should solve eventually
[20:33] <yossarianuk> although to be fair 16.04 is pretty stable -  just a few annoying bugs (fixed in later plasma versions)
[20:34]  * keithzg hopes the window opening location issues are fixed in said later versions, but isn't going to bank on it
[20:35] <yossarianuk> keithzg: you mean for multi monitors?
[20:36] <yossarianuk> I believe thats a qt 5.6 fix?
[20:37] <pepee> I have no idea what neon is tbh
[20:38] <yossarianuk> Its an Ubuntu LTS base but with rolling Plasma/QT packages
[20:38] <yossarianuk> its not ready yet...
[20:38] <pepee> ah
[20:39] <keithzg> yossarianuk: Aas I mentioned above, I have two monitors and windows (particularly dialogue windows that pop up, like many in System Settings) appear offscreen.
[20:40] <pepee> I should have added the PPA yesterday, when I upgraded from 14.04... would have saved me some time
[21:49] <Guest88806> can someone tell me a good program to burn an .iso into a pendrive?
[21:50] <bprompt> Guest88806:    dd :)
[21:50] <bprompt> Guest88806:    hmm kde already comes with one, usb-creator
[21:51] <bprompt> Guest88806:   you could also try usb-creator-gtk, it's in the repositories, I've found that one, more stable and than kde's =)
[21:51] <Guest88806> bprompt: im searching for it and cant find it
[21:54] <bprompt> hmmm I don't see it either, probably removed, it was there on previous versions though, not as stable anyway, I use usb-creator-gtk, tis pretty reliable
[21:55] <Guest88806> bprompt: will download it thanks
[22:20] <keithzg> dcfldd for great justice
[22:20] <keithzg> (or, more accurately, for dd with built-in reporting of progress)
[22:21] <keithzg> I think the KDE USB creator still exists, though, no?
[22:21] <keithzg> !package usb-creator-kde
[22:22] <keithzg> Hrmm, am I remembering the bot calls wrong? It certainly does still appear to exist. http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/usb-creator-kde
[22:24] <Dragnslcr> !info usb-creator-kde
[22:24] <keithzg> Ah right, durr, !info rather than !package
[22:26] <soee> !etcher
[22:26] <soee> !info etcher
[22:26] <soee> there is also something like http://www.etcher.io
[22:32] <bprompt> I had usb-creator-kde.... wasn't that stable, usb-creator-gtk is pretty reliable, UI is about the same
[22:50] <pepee> how come there are only 4 task switchers? what happened to the "normal" one that simply lists titles of windows
[22:53] <soee> huh ?
[23:06] <pasjrwoctx> I am seeking a kubuntu/ubuntu and display guru
[23:22] <jfly22> Question, I installed Kubuntu 16.04 on two laptops yesterday, both from the same usb made with unetbootin, one laptop accessing the cursor theme from system settings is working on the other, it crashes, any idea why?
