[05:50] <Aleksejs> Hello, I have a serious problem and need your help! My PC does nothing when I try to login. I can login in shell (C-A-F1), but cannot login in plasma. It just doesn't do anything. It doesn't even show info about failed login or so
[05:50] <hateball> Aleksejs: Is this a new install, upgrade, etc?
[05:51] <hateball> Aleksejs: What has changed since it was last working?
[05:51] <Aleksejs> nothing, just installed upgrades
[05:51] <Aleksejs> installation is old
[05:52] <Aleksejs> when I login into shell, I see warning cannot set locale en_LV.UTF-8
[05:52] <hateball> Aleksejs: Alright, let's check the usual suspects. When you login at tty1, check your user owns ~/.Xauthority
[05:53] <Aleksejs> my user has 600 rights on it
[05:54] <Aleksejs> I can login into plasma via guest user...
[05:57] <Aleksejs> any more ideas?
[05:57] <hateball> Aleksejs: alright, check "find ~/ ! -user $USER"
[05:57] <hateball> Aleksejs: see if any permissions are wonky
[05:59] <Aleksejs> should it work for a long time?
[06:00] <Aleksejs> ok, it gave response
[06:01] <hateball> well it checks for files not owned by you. usually this is bad.
[06:01] <Aleksejs> it shows ~/.gnupg permission denied
[06:02] <hateball> Aleksejs: well, that should be owned by your user but I don't think it would stop a logon
[06:03] <Aleksejs> I forgot to mention, I have a fingerprint login/sudo, but it never actually worked on plasma login, but it always works on tty login and sudo
[06:04] <Aleksejs> can it affect?
[06:05] <hateball> I have no idea about fingerprint logins, but I am assuming it is just an extra pam module
[06:05] <Aleksejs> ~/.gnupg is owned but root:root atm
[06:05] <hateball> So you'd still be able to use username/password
[06:06] <Aleksejs> how about that locale warning?
[06:07] <hateball> Aleksejs: You may need to regenerate locales. I'd also sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.gnupg
[06:10] <Aleksejs> it shows me lang lv_LV but it was en before
[06:13] <Aleksejs> ok, I'll try to reboot now
[06:31] <Aleksejs> I'm back, but it's still broken
[06:32] <hateball> :/
[06:32] <hateball> Aleksejs: does anything get logged to ~/.xsession-errors after you try logging in?
[06:34] <Aleksejs> yes, there is a warning about locales and then gpg-agent post-stop killed, and that's all
[06:34] <Aleksejs> I still see that warning each time I try to login via tty
[06:35] <Aleksejs> I actually don't know why ubuntu decided to change my language to en_LV, I was always using en_US
[06:35] <Aleksejs> the warning is "bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_LV.UTF-8)"  and it appears twice
[06:38] <hateball> Aleksejs: do you have the en_LV local on your system?
[06:40] <hateball> Aleksejs: if you run "locale", is it listed? If not, sudo locale-gen en_LV.UTF.8
[06:40] <hateball> Aleksejs: just to get that out of the way... then we can see if it helps you get a GUI and let you set en_US again
[06:40] <hateball> Aleksejs: also, type on locale-gen, but you get it
[06:40] <Aleksejs> there's no en_LV in that list
[06:40] <hateball> typo*
[06:40] <hateball> gah
[06:41] <Aleksejs> it doesn't appear after locale-gen
[06:42] <Aleksejs> I have no idea why ubuntu decided to use that locale
[06:42] <Aleksejs> can I just drop to en_US?
[06:44] <hateball> Aleksejs: check what your ~/.config/plasma-localerc contains
[06:45] <hateball> It should be your desired/existing locale
[06:47] <hateball> Aleksejs: and what does "localectl status" return?
[06:50] <Aleksejs> there's no plasma-localerc there. And localectl status returns LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and others are lv_LV.UTF-8
[06:52] <hateball> hmmm.
[06:53] <hateball> well it should fall back to an existing locale anyhow, but it is weird if you cant add a new one
[06:54] <hateball> Aleksejs: find en_LV in /etc/locale.gen and uncomment it (if it is) then run sudo locale-gen again
[06:54] <hateball> hmmm, there is no en_LV
[06:54] <hateball> only lv_LV
[06:54] <Aleksejs> well... there's no /etc/locale.gen
[06:55] <hateball> uh...
[06:55] <Aleksejs> if you mean /etc/locale.alias
[06:55] <Aleksejs> then there's no en_LV line
[06:56] <Aleksejs> also there's no lv_LV line :)
[06:57] <hateball> Well then I do not know
[06:57] <hateball> My system has gone 14.04 -> 16.04
[06:57] <anton_p> try reinstall 'locales'
[07:12] <Aleksejs> still no effect
[07:12] <Aleksejs> I'm grepping for LC_ALL in my home folder because I have no any other idea :(
[07:27] <Aleksejs> I googled how to fix that locale problem
[07:28] <Aleksejs> but still cannot login
[07:28] <Aleksejs> is there anything else I can check?
[07:38] <Aleksejs> well.. I tried to purge and reinstall plasma, it didn't help. But I lost my settings and now KDE looks like some unity or other "friendly" shit
[07:39] <Aleksejs> I guess I need another DE
[07:41] <hateball> since you can log in as a different user it's hardly a DE problem
[07:41] <hateball> I've run out of ideas what it can be tho
[07:41] <hateball> backup data, create new user?
[08:10] <Aleksejs> omg
[08:10] <Aleksejs> I finally could log in
[08:10] <Aleksejs> lost all configs and now KDE looks and feels like shit
[08:11] <Aleksejs> I don't know if KDE developers are here but I wish you to know that I hate you very much
[08:11] <Aleksejs> it's not only visual
[08:11] <memphisto> :)
[08:11] <makinen_> :D
[08:11] <Aleksejs> VPN doesn't save settings
[08:12] <Aleksejs> I can't connect to my office VPN
[08:12] <Aleksejs> thanks to you guys I got an unpaid day off
[08:12] <Aleksejs> also the panel is shit and cannot be configured
[08:12] <memphisto> as a workaround could you create another account and configure your VPN
[08:13] <memphisto> and then in free time fix the issue on the current account
[08:13] <Aleksejs> It doesn't save password for VPN
[08:13] <Aleksejs> it doesn't work without password
[08:13] <Aleksejs> so, no
[08:14] <memphisto> check the  /etc/NetworkManager/VPN
[08:14] <memphisto> there should be passwords for network manager if you use it
[08:15] <Aleksejs> there's nothing about my connection
[08:15] <Aleksejs> probably this info is stored elsewhere
[08:16] <memphisto> where you using network manager or something else to connect to vpn
[08:16] <memphisto> kvpnc
[08:16] <Aleksejs> also, auto hide "feature" for panel cannot be turned off and it annoys very much :)
[08:16] <memphisto> or something else
[08:17] <Aleksejs> I usually connect either via nmcli or just by clicking on VPN in network menu
[08:17] <memphisto> so its Network manager
[08:17] <memphisto> configuration should be there
[08:18] <acheronuk> a recall a few perhaps related VPN bugs in networkmanager/qt
[08:19] <memphisto> here should be your connection /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[08:19] <memphisto> could you check
[08:19] <acheronuk> LP: 1569674
[08:19] <Aleksejs> also once I enter panel settings I can't quit, and panel becomes unusable
[08:20] <Aleksejs> memphisto: there's no password
[08:21] <hateball> Aleksejs: Plasma 5.5 is very buggy, you could try using kubuntu backports
[08:21] <hateball> altho it is a PPA and not supported etc...
[08:21]  * hateball uses it on all his machines
[08:22] <Aleksejs> hateball: funny thing is that I haven't installed 5.5
[08:22] <Aleksejs> all worked good till this morning
[08:24] <hateball> Aleksejs: So you are not on 16.04?
[08:30] <Aleksejs> hateball: not yet
[08:30] <Aleksejs> ok, I could add a VPN on my windows PC :D
[08:30] <Aleksejs> atm windows is better than KDE :D
[08:31] <Aleksejs> is it possible to roll back plasma version?
[08:31] <hateball> Aleksejs: So what version are you on? 14.04 ?
[08:32] <hateball> That would explain you not having config files in ~/.config, in 14.04 most of that stuff is in ~/.kde
[08:32] <hateball> The locale configs etc
[08:34] <Aleksejs> hateball: yes, 14.04
[08:35] <Aleksejs> more bugs with network manager: I add a wifi password, then I logout/login, and wifi password is lost
[08:37] <Aleksejs> do-release-upgrade shows that no new releases found
[08:37] <hateball> !ltsupgrade | Aleksejs
[08:41] <Aleksejs> also all my bluetooth devices doesn't work etc. I need to roll back
[08:42] <memphisto1> Aleksejs, when go to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections youll see your connections and VPN connections too.
[08:42] <memphisto1> do the cat of your VPN connection
[08:42] <memphisto1> and there is a section
[08:43] <memphisto1> [vpn-secrets]
[08:43] <memphisto1> there you'll find you password
[08:44] <Aleksejs> there's no vpn-secrets
[08:45] <memphisto1> can you please share the ll /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[08:46] <Aleksejs> there is a file with my VPN, there are all settings (domain, login etc), but no password. I added [vpn-secrets] and one more line: password=mypassword, didn't help
[08:47] <memphisto1> [vpn-secrets]IPSec secret=XXXXXXXXXauth password=XXXXXXXXX
[08:47] <memphisto1> those sections depend of type of the VPN connection
[08:48] <Aleksejs> I think the problem is with permissions
[08:49] <memphisto1> it should be root:root
[08:50] <Aleksejs> I noticed one thing: connection to VPN via nmcli doesn't work without sudo anymore but it worked before. It shows a permission error. Probably, network manager also doesn't have permissions to edit those files
[08:52] <Aleksejs> no, it's not
[08:53] <Aleksejs> I created a new VPN connection with some random settings, I made sure I choose to store a password, and then I checked a new file - no password line, no vpn-secrets section
[08:53] <Aleksejs> It must be a bug with network manager
[08:53] <memphisto1> that's to many bugs on your PC
[08:54] <Aleksejs> there were none till this morning "update"
[08:54] <Aleksejs> that's why I want to rollback but I don't think it's possible
[08:57] <acheronuk> what updates installed?
[09:11] <lordievader> Good morning.
[12:21] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:28] <Smurphy> Morning
[12:33] <BluesKaj> hey
[12:46] <Aleksejs> Hi, it's me again. I ran apt-get upgrade and then apt-get install plasma-desktop, and all my problems magically disappeared, except one
[12:46] <Aleksejs> My bluetooth headphones are visible in BT manager but I cannot choose them as playback device in audio settings
[12:47] <hateball> Aleksejs: This is still on 14.04?
[12:47] <Aleksejs> yes
[12:49] <Aleksejs> in device preference settings my headphones are inactive and I can't make them as playback device
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Aleksejs:  check alsamixer and make sure they aren't muted
[12:50] <hazamonzo> Hey gents. Anyone have any issues with kubuntu being a bit sluggish. Im thinking it *could* be graphics driver related
[12:51] <hateball> hazamonzo: Describe your problem in detail
[12:53] <Aleksejs> BluesKaj: it's not even there
[12:56] <BluesKaj> oh sorry that's true about 14.04
[12:56] <BluesKaj> check your line ctl then Aleksejs
[13:00] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo:  there's a problem with FF and adblock using a lot of resources, just discovered that yesterday on Xenial
[13:01] <BluesKaj> I dumped adblock, it was the culprit
[13:02] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Interesting. Im using AD with Chrome
[13:02] <hateball> yes well, is your system "sluggish" even when not running Chrome?
[13:02] <BluesKaj> I'm willing to put up with a few ads for the sake of memory and cpu headroom
[13:02] <hazamonzo> hateball: Its a case of switching windows, , expanding windows ect
[13:02] <hateball> Also µBlock is very resource friendly
[13:03] <hazamonzo> Also i will get little freezes when switching windows that can last a couple of seconds
[13:03] <hateball> hazamonzo: you can toggle desktop effects with alt+shift+f12 to see if that is the issue
[13:03] <hateball> hazamonzo: what manner of GPU/driver do you have? "lspci -k", look for the VGA stuff
[13:04] <BluesKaj> I'd use cherome except that the addressbar fonts are too small to read on a large monitor/tv
[13:04] <hazamonzo> hateball: Looks like switching off desktop effects has already had an improvement on UI's in Chrome
[13:05] <hazamonzo> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[13:05] <hazamonzo> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] (rev a1)
[13:05] <hazamonzo> Im worried about messing ith the default graphics driver for this laptop after the pain I had on a previous installation of Kubuntu and issues with the "card switching"?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> oh a hybrid gpu system
[13:06] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: Oh yes.... :)
[13:06] <hazamonzo> Im surprised you forgot with all the issues I've had with this laptop in the past and asked for help in here! :D
[13:07] <hateball> hazamonzo: have you tried the driver from PPA?
[13:07] <hateball> to enable nvidia card
[13:07] <hazamonzo> hateball: On a previous installation I have but not this one
[13:07] <hateball> "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-367", reboot, go into nvidia-settings and pick desired card. if everything goes as expected :p
[13:07] <hazamonzo> I was just happy that the UI loaded
[13:08] <hateball> but hybrid GPU is unfun stuff, so one cannot be too sure
[13:08] <hazamonzo> hateball: Risky!. I like it!
[13:08] <hateball> hazamonzo: if it fails, you can just purge nvidia-367
[13:08] <hazamonzo> hateball: I'll take a look after I finish working tonight. Can't destroy my machine today with my deadlines :)
[13:08] <hateball> hazamonzo: Good luck :)
[13:09] <BluesKaj> yeah , best not to fool with a system that works
[13:09] <hazamonzo> hateball: Haha thanks!
[13:09] <hazamonzo> But the desktop effects thing has certainly helped a lot already!
[13:09] <hazamonzo> Thank you
[13:10] <hazamonzo> Although I do miss wobbly windows from my old desktop days.... :)
[13:10] <hateball> well it just means you're using the intel card which is too weak to handle it
[13:10] <hateball> and since you have an nvidia card in there it would be good to get it working
[13:11] <hateball> that said, I have an even older intel gpu in this machine, and there's no problems using desktop effects that I can tell
[13:11] <hateball> oh well !
[13:25]  * Smurphy has to say that in general, the Intel Chipset GPU is way better for Desktop work-stuff than the NVidia.
[13:26] <Smurphy> I tend to disable all the Fast graphic controllers (Ati and NVidia if I have a hybrid system).
[13:26] <Smurphy> And if I can do that in the BIOS/EFI - in there.
[13:32] <BluesKaj> some prefer the higher graphics mode be it nvidia or amd, despite the short battery life
[13:36] <Smurphy> higher graphics mode ? For what ?
[13:36] <Smurphy> When playing a game, I can understand it.
[13:36] <Smurphy> But for everything else, it's just a waste of energy.
[14:01] <BluesKaj> well I made sure there no hybrid graphics in the laptop I bought a few yrs ago, just for the reason they are a pita on linux
[16:01] <Smurphy> Same here.
[17:41] <L0cutus> hello
[17:47] <BluesKaj> hi L0cutus
[17:53] <L0cutus> mmm unable to install (from USB) latest kubuntu :-/

[18:15] <BluesKaj> zamazan4ik:  it's highlighted in red to get your attention ;-)
[18:16] <zamazan4ik> ok, Can i fast insert nickname of any user(your nickname, for example)?
[18:17] <zamazan4ik> BluesKaj, or i should type manual every nickname?
[18:18] <BluesKaj> zamazan4ik:  type the first 3 letters of ausers nick then the auto-completion with the tab key
[18:18] <BluesKaj> 3  letters or so
[18:21] <BluesKaj> zamazan4ik:  for example I just typed za and hit the tab key and autocomplete took over and finished typing your nick
