ozberkhi guys need to ask a questtion. Umm I tried to use driver manager to install AMD microcode and nvia drivers but it saying collecting data from my system yet it takes too long09:58
ozberkwhat is wrong with the driver manager ?09:59
Fritigernhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-driver-manager/+bug/153052310:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1530523 in kubuntu-driver-manager (Ubuntu) "kcm_driver_manager: Infinitely shows Collecting information" [High,Confirmed]10:02
ozberkoh ok so we only need to wait a bit since there is no solution yet. Ummm how can I install those drivers then ?10:05
FritigernThis means it's a known bug, high priority and that multiple people have reported it. Therefore, it's being worked on. In the mean time you can manually  install the microcode and the Nvidia drivers10:05
FritigernOpen Konsole and enter sudo apt-get install nvidia-364 && sudo apt-get amd64-microcode10:07
FritigernNote that you will have to enter your password in order to install that10:07
ozberkyeah I figured that with this document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia10:08
ozberkthat ubuntu-drivers devices command is really helpfull10:09
ozberkjust enter it and it will tell you what do you need to install. Cool10:09

viewer|21429Hello, I'm having a problem with Krunner and plasma shell. They crash when i type in letters to search of applications/files. Kubunut 16.04. I was running on nvidia 361 drivers, i updated to 364. this led to the krunner/plasma shell crashes. i rolled back to 361 but still have the problem. Tried with 358 but again the same problem. Any help?13:00
hateballviewer|21429: I'm not sure why you think it would be related to nvidia drivers13:02
hateballviewer|21429: Perhaps baloo has been corrupted, you could try rebuilding it13:02
viewer|21429how can i do that?13:03
CoodingCookieeHey guys, i'm running 16.04 Kubuntu. I'm using a Apple Magic Mouse 2, but the scrolling doesn't work. I tried i few things days ago, but nothing works. Maybe someone of you can help me :)13:03
hateballviewer|21429: "balooctl disable" then  reboot, then "balooctl enable"13:03
BluesKajCoodingCookiee, try system settings>input devices>mouse , there are a few settings that might help13:06
viewer|21429hateball: it can be done from plasma or do i need to logout and make it from the console?13:08
hateballviewer|21429: no you can do it in your current session13:10
CoodingCookieethe mouse works fine but the scroll/touch have no support13:10
viewer|21429hateball:disable worked; but trying the enable it gives the error "failed to register via dbus, another instance is running"13:11
hateballviewer|21429: did you reboot?13:12
viewer|21429yes13:12
hateballviewer|21429: what does "balooctl status" say?13:13
viewer|21429it says it running. By the way the crash are gone now13:13
viewer|21429(i do the instructions again)13:16
hateballviewer|21429: well if it's not crashing, problem solved :p13:16
hateballI wonder why it would restart tho, without you enabling it13:17
viewer|21429well in fact before the error message you do get a balooctl is running13:19

Guest86019who the fuck picks these colors for kubuntu...omg stab my eyes out14:25
Guest86019so whats the workaround for the installer in 16.04 that I cannot read since its so bright14:26
Guest86019tried themes and zionreversed color scheme, doesnt seem to appy to the installer14:27
Guest86019prolly should have stuck with 14.04....14:28
Guest86019hello14:32
Guest86019I cant read the text on the installer in the live disc14:34
yossarianukGuest86019: perhaps if you made a screenshot and uploaded it for us to me we might understand what you mean14:37
Guest86019you cannot read the ANY of the instructions in the installer window at all, it is super bright background and white writing, I can barely make out the download third party checkbox and thats cause I know its there from past installs14:39
Guest86019ahh I bet i know how to fix it14:40
Guest86019the installer is likely gtk14:40

kubuntu_fuck is that stupid14:55
acheron_ukhad no such problem with recent 16.04 installs14:55
acheron_uktext was perfectly readable14:55
acheron_uksome graphics card oddity perhaps?14:57
kubuntu_not sure but the default theme or whatever you call it doesnt let you see  the text14:58
kubuntu_just a gtx nvidia card and I assume nouveau14:58
kubuntu_installer appears to be hanging now14:58
acheron_ukthe dropdown dialogues there and some other colours down match the default breeze theme14:58
kubuntu_yeah i used oxygen and I could see it14:59
acheron_ukI would imagine a graphic rendering glitch as that is NOT how it should show15:00
* kubuntu_ appologies for freaking out15:01
kubuntu_usually doesnt take me 1.2 hours to figure out a workaround15:01

chaotixhello.  I am on Kubuntu 16.04, and am having a problem where for some reason, the proper icons for applications, folders, and files and whatnot' are not being displayed at all,15:05
chaotixit started when I tried to change the icon theme, and now no matter what icon theme i choose, I get most of the icons have what looks like a paper document with a "?" in the middle, and the rest show the wrong icon15:06
acheron_ukcan you change the icon scheme in system settings to another one then back again?15:07
acheron_ukoh sounds like you have15:07
chaotixacheron_uk: i can, but it doesnt actually change the theme15:07
geniiSave session before logging off/shutting down15:08
acheron_ukthere is an icon them cache somewhere15:08
chaotixi press apply, and the dialog comes up saying updating, but nothing changes15:08
chaotixim looking now for how to delete the icon cache15:10
acheron_ukin /tmp/ and /var/tmp/kdecache-'youruseename' and ~/.cache/ there may be some15:11
chaotixi found this15:11
chaotixhttps://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10824115:11
chaotixbrb if the problem persists.. thanks for the suggestions guys15:13
acheron_ukthink the caches are done slightly different for icons in plasma5, bit basically yes, clear icon caches and restart your KDE desktop15:13
acheron_ukif that doesn't sort it then there is something more fundamental up15:14

ozberkyes but I'm in Turkey so. As you asked I run another update here19:20
ozberka few packages have new updates installing the now19:20
ozberkthem (corrections)19:20
BluesKajozberk, why are going to use that command in nvidia-settings ?19:22
BluesKajForceFullCompositionPipeline  ...why are trying that?19:23
ozberkBluesKaj:  because this command enables the VSync feature in KDE which is not enabled by deaflut somehow. I googled the problem and the solution was simple. This command is for testing but the solution was about counfiguring x.conf ehich doesn't exist in here19:23
ozberkso I think if I put this command at startup the VSync will be enabled automaticly19:24
BluesKajox then you need to run nvidia-xconfig to create the file then add the string in it19:24
BluesKajoz^19:25
BluesKajozberk,^19:25
ozberkBluesKaj:  package xorg-server was not found ?19:26

cjwelbornThis may be a dumb question, but I'm making a simple "install script" for my new machines and I was wondering if `sudo apt-get install <247 package names>` will even work, or if there's a better way do go about this. I have a file with all the package names that I need to install.21:33

cjwelbornbprompt: I generated a list of package names (just the name), where 'apt-get install <pkg-name>' should work by itself. After thinking about it, if I pass 247 names to apt-get and it can't find one then the whole thing collapses. I think I will generate individual 'sudo apt-get install -y <pkg-name>' for them.21:51

Guest62348hi people, I love you >/]22:42
Guest62348Current Kubuntu edition is fantastic!22:43
Guest62348Can I ask something basic?22:43
geniiI'm sure the devs which are lurking here will be glad to hear :)22:43
geniiGuest62348: Best thing is just to ask the channel your question, and then see if someone takes it up22:44
Guest62348Really good job. I never liked Kubuntu before :-]22:44
Guest62348I need to backup user home folders, but I dont have a rights permissions to access them. I have fond many examples, but simply I dont understand to those examples. Rights in Linux are very complicated...22:47
Guest62348Is any GUI for setting permissions recursively?22:47
geniiAnything underneath of /home/yourusername by default is written with the permissions of the user whose home directory that is. Unless you have done something like perhaps untarred files with permissions intact which contain files belonging to a different username22:49
geniiGuest62348: Possibly you are trying to copy /home instead of /home/yourusername22:50
geniialternately, those files are in use22:51
Guest62348I need to backup everything in /home/ (for all users)22:51
Guest62348I am able to share home root dir, but I need to allow root to read all files in all home folders.22:52
geniiGuest62348: For backing up all user's files, this must be done with admin privelege. So you do not change the permissions or owners, because if you restore those files, the user they previously belonged to will be unable to access them.22:52
Guest62348I am SUDO, but still not able to read all dirs.22:52
geniiGuest62348: The simplest in Konsole, to issue: kdesudo dolphin22:53
genii...and then just use it like normal to copy things one place to another place22:53
geniiGuest62348: If you want to copy files they cannot be in use at the time.22:54
geniiSo trying to copy things in your own home directory while you are logged in will result in files like some things in the .kde directory for instance or cache directories not being able to be copied22:55
Guest62348I think I need to set group for read. But how to say who is the group?22:55
Guest62348By the way, how can I connect to the server on LAN from Kubuntu? Only what I know is Putty on Windows.22:56
geniiGuest62348: What is the error you get when you currently try?22:57
Guest62348I have to connect from console to the server at first.22:58
geniiGuest62348: To connecto a server, make sure it is running an ssh server, then just in Kubuntu opn up Konsole and use ssh command from there23:02
geniiwork, afk 7-10 minutes23:03
Guest62348ssh legolas says that he could not resolve hostname23:05
geniiGuest62348: Add the ip and name of that box to your /etc/hosts file23:06
Guest62348I tryed to boot kubuntu live on the server, It works, but I cannot see RAID HDD in the server.23:06
Guest62348omg konsole is really challenge for me, nothing is working23:09
geniiGuest62348: Back for a minute or two. .. for RAID, Kubuntu does not load those modules by default, only Ubuntu Server does that. So you have to manually load them afterwards.23:13
geniiGuest62348: If you do not specify a username to ssh, it assumes you want to connect using your cuurent username23:13
geniiTo specify a different name, use like: ssh differentname@servername-or-ip23:14
geniiGuest62348: Also, please ask your questions in the channel, and not by private message :)23:15
geniiGuest62348: For recognizing RAID1, you should use: sudo modprobe raid123:16
Guest62348great! I will try to recognize Raid123:17
Guest62348I hope I cannot damage files :-]23:17
