seppohi, don't know if this is the right place, but I have 2 kubuntu 15.10 systems, and find out that MUON-UPDATER can't get update any more. Both laptopt behave the same kind.08:19
seppo Is this because of fault in my systems or insomewhere else? I mean that have someone else seen same thing?08:20
seppothe last system map version that was updated is  4.2.0-3608:22
soeei'm not sure if in 15.10 there is fixed version of muon08:25
soeeit should work on 16.04 though08:25
seppoI reinstalled muon package ver. 4:5.4.2-0ubuntu1, with no help! Muon just starts, and seeks packages. Then after a few seconds it closes. There are no erros or other messages??08:38
seppoit doesn't show any packages in its window, before close!08:40
mparilloSometimes a command line update will solve it: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y10:13
mparilloBut more likely it will point to a possible error and suggest -f install.10:14

BluesKajHey folks11:46
QuantosHello, I'm having a problem with my phone connecting to KUbuntu 16.04.  I keep getting the message that the MTP has failed.  It used to work fine.  But then after a week this is happening.  What can I do?12:37
katronixHello all, I tried to add Unity to my Kubuntu install, and now I seem to have hosed apt-get entirely, I keep getting asked to run apt-get install -f but this does not fix the issue. Can anyone help?12:57
BluesKajkatronix, dependency issues , most likely..try sudo dpkg --configure -a , then sudo apt -f install  or if all else fails remove unity , this is kubuntu support for unity help join #ubuntu13:04
QuantosBluesKaj - Do you know if there is a way to access my phone from KUbuntu.  I'm having MTP issues.  Thanks to the tools at MS13:13
BluesKajQuantos, android phone ?13:14
QuantosYes, but I'm unsure what version13:14
hateballQuantos: You could use KDE Connect13:14
QuantosIt's a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo13:14
BluesKajtried kdeconnect?13:14
QuantosI have that installed13:15
QuantosWill it do the job?13:15
QuantosI didn't know I could move files with that13:15
hateballit has many features, sadly not a hook into pulseaudio13:17
QuantosOh that's BRILLIANT !!!13:17
QuantosThank you13:17
QuantosWorks like a charm13:18

modmanmatthey guys having allot of trouble with this kubuntu is there a more stable version or something i am running v1615:00
BluesKajmodmanmatt, which kubuntu ?15:02
modmanmatt16.0415:03
modmanmattwokred ok at first week but after adding a few programs and using it for a little bit now everything crashes cant update cant even listen to music for 10 min without itmessing up15:04
BluesKajok , more details about your problem would help15:04
modmanmattthe discover software browser has been buggy since day 1 very very slow15:05
modmanmattrunning on an old mac mini 1.6ghz dual core 32bit with 2gb ram15:05
BluesKajmodmanmatt, install muon for package management, it's solid and mature15:06
modmanmattok looking for it now15:06
modmanmattthink i may have messed something up also i made file manager run as root15:07
BluesKajmuon discover is just a fancier gui, not my cuppa tea15:07
BluesKajopen a terminal modmanmatt , sudo apt install muon15:07
lucidguyHow is it that kubuntu LTS is only 3 years and Ubuntu is 5.  From what I've seen the repos are the same?15:07
modmanmatti wound up using the ubuntu software store for everything that may be messing me up also15:07
BluesKajkubuntu and ubuntu LTS are the same age and use the same repos15:08
lucidguySupport wise.15:08
modmanmattok so not that then15:08
BluesKajmodmanmatt, i suggest you use the terminal/cli for installing packages and use muon a s package reference guide15:10
modmanmattok all installed is it safe to remove the other stores like ubunut and sicover ?15:25
BluesKajno need , just don't use them, they may have dependencies/libs that other apps need15:27
modmanmattok15:30
modmanmatti already see a differenece with less crashing15:30
BluesKajmodmanmatt, run , sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade  , that should bring all your installed packages up to date15:31
modmanmattrunning15:32
modmanmattthanks blueskaj15:33
BluesKajmodmanmatt, it's good practice to run those commands every few days or at least once per week15:37
modmanmattok saving them to notepad would be nice to make a script t launch to do that automatically15:38
BluesKajor you could make aliases in ~/.bashrc15:39
=== r2-d2 is now known as Guest19870
BluesKajI keep a text file of cli commands as a reference since there are so many handy commands one can use to help fix things as well15:41

BluesKajgoddard, most of PIM is installed by default afaik , but I'm not really familiar with all the apps it contains since I don't bother with PIM apps at all17:33
BluesKajgoddard, maybe the guys at #kde can answer you better than here17:36

valjanThanks @genii23:49
clivejoId like to think they are a bit of both23:50
schnoodlesWould you recommend it on a work computer?23:50
clivejosome people are finding plasma 5.6.4 is faster and more stable23:51

schnoodlesOk thanks. I might have to give it a whirl.23:52
clivejothe nice thing about PPA is that you can use PPA purge to remove it and roll back if things dont go to plan23:54
