[00:06] I have a little issue with widgets, they're not displaying properly I have to click on them in order to see their content, does anyone know what might be the issue ? === omen is now known as Guest88587 [00:34] anyone here know anything about nvidia and 16.04? [01:07] kmail 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] at 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 features [01:18] adymitruk: 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] sad.. so much potential [01:21] * ildefonso ended up using thunderbird... had to give up on kmail long ago :( [01:22] does anyone know how to create Separate X Screen in ubuntu 16.04 [03:21] Anyone have an issue with kscreenlocker - and not being able to use the keyboard or mouse after locking the screen? [06:03] Does UNetBootin work for creating a bootable Kubuntu USB? [06:16] Yes...

[08:25] 361.42 yes [08:26] dv_: You could try a later driver from the PPA, unsupported as it is [08:26] dv_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-367 [08:26] (works for me) [08:26] here's one backtrace http://pastie.org/pastes/10850062/text?key=txf7mcyhh3saculfglwnq [08:27] Hi. 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] since this seems aurorae specific, I'll try next if using a non-aurorae kwin theme is a workaround [08:27] ejay: I think for backports you may get better answers in #kubuntu-devel [08:28] At least I have seen that channel be refered to for backports [08:36] hateball: thanks [09:07] how to use bonjour in ktelepathy? [09:08] so 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] Launchpad bug 1429482 in muon (Ubuntu) "Kubuntu Vivid 1 Beta 15.04: Last checked for updates is displayed unusal" [Undecided,Confirmed] [09:17] Hi 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! [09:20] jonah: can you open krunner: ALT + F2 ? [09:22] soee: 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] soee: I can run muon though and other stuff from konsole [09:22] soee: do i just install the nvidia driver with the highest number? [09:22] jonah: type in konsole: plasmashell [09:23] jonah: what GPU you have? install driver that supports your card :) [09:23] soee: plasmashell gives me "libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate" and then an error about kscreen and an unversioned plugin detected [09:24] soee: i'm not sure what card I have, but i know it's nvidia at least [09:24] uhm did you changed opengl interface from GLX to EGL maybe ? [09:24] soee: it's gf108 card [09:24] soee: geforce gt 630 nvidia [09:25] soee: 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] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [09:25] sudo apt update [09:25] sudo apt install nvidia-367 [09:26] or for a oneliner: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-367 [09:26] * hateball abuses aliases [09:26] haha [09:26] jonah: did you rebooted after upgrades (twice) ? [09:26] ok running that and will reboot to see if it works and pop back in here to report [09:27] soee: yes I did reboot after the updates, but just once I think... [09:27] i remember lasma failed once for users and after second reboot it worked -.- [09:27] jonah: do you have multiple monitors? [09:27] hateball: yes two monitors, only one is now on and the other dissappeared and is just a black screen [09:27] as that is another bag of issues, which purging kscreen configs will sort [09:27] yep. [09:28] jonah: configs for monitors are found in ~/.local/share/kscreen/ [09:28] jonah: you can kill those and reboot and it should regenerate them [09:28] OK well my shell is on 97% on that driver install so I'll be back in a bit once rebooted. thanks for helping [09:28] :) [09:29] i forget to ask if he has backports enabled ... :/ [09:33] soee: 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 thingy [09:33] hateball: thank you! [09:34] One 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?? [09:35] jonah: btw did you installed Plasma 5.6 from backports ? [09:35] soee: yeah could of done! [09:36] jonah: i have problems with console on 2 screens with nvidia driver - all works fine on connected screen but on laptop it "laging" and teraing [09:36] soee: yeah got 5.6.4-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04~ppa1 [09:36] but im on a laptop with hybrid graphic [09:37] soee: ah that must be it - it's like the text is catching up with the cursor [09:37] so when i need it and working, im switching to intel profile :) [09:38] soee: 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... [09:39] hmm [09:39] soee: exact error sorry is "This colour scheme uses a transparent background which does not appear to be supported on your desktop" [09:40] but effects work on other desktop elements ? [09:41] soee: 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] soee: but no, now nothing... [09:42] ALT + SHIFT + F12 [09:42] should toggle them [09:42] soee: ah yes that's got it working again! thank you again! [09:42] soee: how weird.. hah [09:43] soee: ok gotta dash as this has made me late for work now ahha but thanks again [09:43] also be sure to go to System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Compositor [09:44] and check Disable compositor for full screen windows and Tearing Prevention (vsync) to "Full screen repaints" === lethu_ is now known as lethu [09:56] soee: You do not use ForceFullCompositionPipeline ? [09:56] I dunno how that works with hybrid gpu tho [09:57] hateball: it does nothing for this multiscreen issue [09:57] it is nvidia driver + kernel + x issue [09:57] Ah [09:58] I only use multiscreen at work, with pure Intel.

[11:57] i.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] I tried 'dd if=/dev/sdc of=/path/to/iso' [12:00] yossarianuk, my understanding is that making a windows iso bootable on a stick is next to impossible. [12:02] BluesKaj: cheers - looks like i'll have to re-download [12:05] yossarianuk, it might be possible , just never heard of it being successful === acheron88 is now known as acheron_uk === shaun is now known as _shaun_ [13:57] hi, 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] kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "DP2" ) ( "DP2" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "DP2" ) ( "DP2" ) [14:14] dbacc, must be a bug in kscreen [14:29] BluesKaj: is there a way to get more debug information? It's not really helpful that way if I file a bug report;) [15:12] Hi 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 ?? === kubuntuplasma5 is now known as inxan3 [15:15] badoo, does this happen after a reboot as well? === Oer is now known as OerHeks [15:15] I mean the screen resolutions aren't the same [15:16] so everytime I have to fix how widgets are displayed, I don't know after reboot never tried [15:16] so you have to reset the resolution [15:18] the resolution is the same on my tv but the widgets are all messy, I don't know if it is normal [15:19] and 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 :/ [15:20] badoo, what about just rechoosing the same desktop theme in system settings [15:21] I don't understand how that can help === kubuntu is now known as Guest54387 [15:27] sorry, I kept switching between laptop/tv and kubuntu crashed [15:31] badoo, I've tried what you're doing with our tv and I had nothing but Xserver screen placement and res problems even on windows. [15:32] my old pc which I'm using now works well with our tv and it's become our media server with a few hardware improvements [15:53] Blueskaj my pc works fine too, the only issue I have with kubuntu is when I switch between two my laptop and tv [15:56] ok so i did two different activitites (one for my tv and one for my laptop) and it looks like it's working fine [15:59] badoo, good idea, maybe I'll try that if I need to in the future [16:01] but I think that there's a way to assign a virtual desktop to a monitor [16:02] which is better since I still have to switch between activites before I switch to my laptop screen [16:02] I'm a perfectionnist :p [16:05] nothing wrong with wanting the right setup and behaviour [16:43] Hello, I'm having some trouble installing a lib-purple plugin into telepathy [16:43] I'd like to install this https://github.com/eionrobb/pidgin-opensteamworks [16:50] Canucktux, I see you joined #kde , asking there is probly a better idea than here [16:50] BluesKaj: I've asked but of the 500 people there no-one has said anything [16:52] Canucktux, tbh , I don't see a lot of questions or discussion about telepathy and pidgin in here, at least not for many yrs. [16:53] BluesKaj: no probs, I was just looking for somewhere to start [16:53] the wiki page is pretty sparse [16:53] right === kade__B2 is now known as kade [17:19] hi [17:19] I have a problem with the brand new Kubuntu 16.04 [17:19] This is the output of "top": [17:19] http://pastie.org/pastes/10850712/text?key=rhq6ezdygoj9y5547g26a [17:20] however, the CPU usage of chromium-browser was already up to 30% per process which means that the CPU was totally overused when 3-4 processes cause 30% CPU load each [17:20] what could be wrong? [17:24] this is what top shows after I scrolled in chromium: [17:24] http://pastie.org/pastes/10850717/text?key=iyety42cy26i5abiy6tpbq [17:24] using my mouse-scroll-wheel seems to cause serious stress to my CPU [17:33] hello! what is better to install kubuntu 14.04 or kubuntu 16.04?

[17:37] suncokret: go for the new one, 16.04 has kde5 [17:38] ahzzz: are you doing a fresh install or a dis upgrade? [17:38] does 16.04 use more memory and how much? [17:39] Now it is anupgrade have installed several time so now on Kubuntu 14.04with updates [17:40] Willing to try aqny thing at this point [17:44] hello [17:45] hello louis === Guest88587 is now known as omenius [19:49] Hello. :) [19:50] I am having issues with Ubiquity: I hit "Continue" on the Prepare tab (the "install third party" checkmark" tab and whatnot) [19:50] And it seems to be hanging indefinitely. [19:51] Well... of course it finally starts working once I installed Quassel and asked for help on an IRC channel. XD [20:05] Q: Anyone knows a good Hardware-channel? I think i broke my Blueray/DVD-player... [20:06] after some dvd ripping/copying, it stops reading dvds... Any hints?

[20:34] why my bluerayplayer stoped working... [20:35] did copy couple of dvds and now it stoped reading first big files even from dvds he read already... [20:35] hmmm w0t? [20:36] Fanfare: I hope you realize that question is rather too broad, just as much as me asking "where are my car keys?" [20:37] https://paste.kde.org/pmzintdxw [20:37] Fanfare: there's a ##hardware channel, but something tells me, they'll tell you the same thing I said [20:38] well, i would ask in more detail over there, as this is not the right channel i suppose... [20:40] Fanfare: 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 flimsy [20:50] sorry for the noise, works again, but don't know why... [20:51] Fanfare: as aformentioned, without specifics, for all we know, it was some leprechauns in it [20:52] bprompt: don't always blame the leprechauns... === odeda is now known as guss77
