adymitrukkmail is a real pain. Getting a crash or infinite loop when I try to send an email. It's getting to the point of not being usable at all.01:07
adymitrukat this point, anyone adding features to it should be shot. The only thing that sholud be done to kmail is full time bug fixes and removal of unused features01:07
matt1adymitruk: Have given up on kmail.  It was my absolute favourite email client, but now it is unusable.  Just freezes for no reason all over the place.01:18
adymitruksad.. so much potential01:18
* ildefonso ended up using thunderbird... had to give up on kmail long ago :( 01:21

dv_does kwin crash every now and then for others here as well? (kubuntu 16.04, nvidia gtx 960)08:09
dv_and nvidia binary drivers08:10
hateballdv_: can't say it does08:24
hateballdv_: using 361 drivers?08:24
dv_361.42 yes08:25
hateballdv_: You could try a later driver from the PPA, unsupported as it is08:26
hateballdv_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-36708:26
hateball(works for me)08:26
dv_here's one backtrace http://pastie.org/pastes/10850062/text?key=txf7mcyhh3saculfglwnq08:26
ejayHi. I installed plasma 5.6.4 from backports on kubuntu 16.04. Kdeinit5 keeps crashing like there is no tomorrow. Why? How to diagnose whats wrong?08:27
dv_since this seems aurorae specific, I'll try next if using a non-aurorae kwin theme is a workaround08:27
hateballejay: I think for backports you may get better answers in #kubuntu-devel08:27
hateballAt least I have seen that channel be refered to for backports08:28
ejayhateball: thanks08:36
m_tadeuhow to use bonjour in ktelepathy?09:07
steve-_-1so this has been happening for over a year? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon/+bug/1429482 is any work happening to fix that bug?09:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1429482 in muon (Ubuntu) "Kubuntu Vivid 1 Beta 15.04: Last checked for updates is displayed unusal" [Undecided,Confirmed]09:08
jonahHi can anyone please help. I'm running 16.04 and just put some updates in when they popped up and after rebooting I now don't have any desktop or plasma, just a black screen and a konsole which I'm having to use to launch stuff!09:17
soeejonah: can you open krunner: ALT + F2 ?09:20
jonahsoee: no it sot of flashes where it should be but I can't type in the box. I think also my nvidia driver was removed so I'm not sure what driver I should have installed...09:22
jonahsoee: I can run muon though and other stuff from konsole09:22
jonahsoee: do i just install the nvidia driver with the highest number?09:22
soeejonah: type in konsole: plasmashell09:22
soeejonah: what GPU you have? install driver that supports your card :)09:23
jonahsoee: plasmashell gives me "libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate" and then an error about kscreen and an unversioned plugin detected09:23
jonahsoee: i'm not sure what card I have, but i know it's nvidia at least09:24
soeeuhm did you changed opengl interface from GLX to EGL maybe ?09:24
jonahsoee: it's gf108 card09:24
jonahsoee: geforce gt 630 nvidia09:24
jonahsoee: I really don't know, I didn't choose any changes etc, just ran the updates that popped up in package updates notifier!09:25
soeesudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa09:25
soeesudo apt update09:25
soeesudo apt install nvidia-36709:25
hateballor for a oneliner: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-36709:26
* hateball abuses aliases09:26
jonahhaha09:26
soeejonah: did you rebooted after upgrades (twice) ?09:26
jonahok running that and will reboot to see if it works and pop back in here to report09:26
jonahsoee: yes I did reboot after the updates, but just once I think...09:27
soeei remember lasma failed once for users and after second reboot it worked -.-09:27
hateballjonah: do you have multiple monitors?09:27
jonahhateball: yes two monitors, only one is now on and the other dissappeared and is just a black screen09:27
hateballas that is another bag of issues, which purging kscreen configs will sort09:27
hateballyep.09:27
hateballjonah: configs for monitors are found in ~/.local/share/kscreen/09:28
hateballjonah: you can kill those and reboot and it should regenerate them09:28
jonahOK well my shell is on 97% on that driver install so I'll be back in a bit once rebooted. thanks for helping09:28
hateball:)09:28
soeei forget to ask if he has backports enabled ... :/09:29
jonahsoee: Hi thanks very much! I'm back up and back to normal. It was just the nvidia driver that had somehow been replaced with some legacy thingy09:33
jonahhateball: thank you!09:33
jonahOne other thing while I'm in here - has anybody else's konsole gone odd looking recently? Mine now has like a few spaces after where you type so you're not quite sure where your cursor is when typing or highlighting stuff??09:34
soeejonah: btw did you installed Plasma 5.6 from backports ?09:35
jonahsoee: yeah could of done!09:35
soeejonah: i have problems with console on 2 screens with nvidia driver - all works fine on connected screen but on laptop it "laging" and teraing09:36
jonahsoee: yeah got 5.6.4-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04~ppa109:36
soeebut im on a laptop with hybrid graphic09:36
jonahsoee: ah that must be it - it's like the text is catching up with the cursor09:37
soeeso when i need it and working, im switching to intel profile :)09:37
jonahsoee: also I've noticed in my konsole appearance settings it says "you are using a theme with transparent background which is not supported on your system" or something like that... but transparency used to work ok...09:38
soeehmm09:39
jonahsoee: exact error sorry is "This colour scheme uses a transparent background which does not appear to be supported on your desktop"09:39
soeebut effects work on other desktop elements ?09:40
jonahsoee: well actually now I'm looking, I don't think I have any effects on anything.... I didn't used to have much switched on but it did have a little shadow and transparency etc, just like the default stuff.09:41
jonahsoee: but no, now nothing...09:41
soeeALT + SHIFT + F1209:42
soeeshould toggle them09:42
jonahsoee: ah yes that's got it working again! thank you again!09:42
jonahsoee: how weird.. hah09:42
jonahsoee: ok gotta dash as this has made me late for work now ahha but thanks again09:43
soeealso be sure to go to System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Compositor09:43
soeeand check Disable compositor for full screen windows and Tearing Prevention (vsync) to  "Full screen repaints"09:44

hateballI dunno how that works with hybrid gpu tho09:56

hateballAh09:57

yossarianukhi - how can I create an ISO from an existing USB stcik - just tried using dd for a windows10 usb stick but it doesn't boot11:52
BluesKajyossarianuk, please explain , are trying to copy from a srick with dd or is it the target?11:55
yossarianuki.e I have an existing Windows 10 USB stick I would like to convert that to an .ISO (which I can boot using virt-manager)11:57
yossarianukI tried 'dd if=/dev/sdc of=/path/to/iso'11:57
BluesKajyossarianuk, my understanding is that making a windows iso bootable on a stick is next to impossible.12:00
yossarianukBluesKaj: cheers - looks like i'll have to re-download12:02
BluesKajyossarianuk, it might be possible , just never heard of it being successful12:05

dbacchi, since I switched from HDMI to DP connection, my system keeps occasionally freezing (completely dead). Happens every second day or so. Unfortunately the logs do not seem to be very helpful. All I can find is this line printed several times:13:57
dbacckscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "DP2" ) ( "DP2" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "DP2" ) ( "DP2" )13:57
BluesKajdbacc, must be a bug in kscreen14:14
dbaccBluesKaj: is there a way to get more debug information? It's not really helpful that way if I file a bug report;)14:29
badooHi everyone! Every time I switch from my tvscreen to my laptop my widgets get messy ad everything and I have to organise them again which is annoying, is there any way to fix this ??15:12
=== kubuntuplasma5 is now known as inxan3
BluesKajbadoo, does this happen after a reboot as well?15:15
=== Oer is now known as OerHeks
badooI mean the screen resolutions aren't the same15:15
badooso everytime I have to fix how widgets are displayed, I don't know after reboot never tried15:16
BluesKajso you have to reset the resolution15:16
badoothe resolution is the same on my tv but the widgets are all messy, I don't know if it is normal15:18
badooand what people do usually to fix this, I like widgets a lot but if I have to do this again every time I might just get rid of them :/15:19
BluesKajbadoo, what about just rechoosing the same desktop theme in system settings15:20
badooI don't understand how that can help15:21
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest54387
badoosorry, I kept switching between laptop/tv and kubuntu crashed15:27
BluesKajbadoo, I've tried what you're doing with our tv and I had nothing but Xserver screen placement and res problems even on windows.15:31
BluesKajmy old pc which I'm using now works well with our tv and it's become our media server with a few hardware improvements15:32
badooBlueskaj my pc works fine too, the only issue I have with kubuntu is when I switch between two my laptop and tv15:53
badoook so i did two different activitites (one for my tv and one for my laptop) and it looks like it's working fine15:56
BluesKajbadoo, good idea, maybe I'll try that if I need to in the future15:59
badoobut I think that there's a way to assign a virtual desktop to a monitor16:01
badoowhich is better since I still have to switch between activites before I switch to my laptop screen16:02
badooI'm a perfectionnist :p16:02
BluesKajnothing wrong with wanting the right setup and behaviour16:05

BluesKajCanucktux, I see you joined #kde , asking there is probly a better idea than here16:50
CanucktuxBluesKaj: I've asked but of the 500 people there no-one has said anything16:50

AziroshinHello. :)19:49
AziroshinI am having issues with Ubiquity: I hit "Continue" on the Prepare tab (the "install third party" checkmark" tab and whatnot)19:50

bpromptFanfare:     without any specifics, could be a number of things, if you meant the bluray dvd-drive, could be software, drivers, or could be just the dvd disc, is scratched or such, could be the dvd drive itself it's flimsy20:40
Fanfaresorry for the noise, works again, but don't know why...20:50
