=== IdleOne is now known as Guest64561 [02:50] hi [02:50] I want to launch applications pinned on the icon manager via keyboard shortcut (Kubuntu 16.04, Kde plasma 5.6.4) [03:47] abhishek__, Just bind them with a global shortcut? === AciD` is now known as AciD === AciD is now known as Guest76610 === aaron is now known as Guest57114 === Guest57114 is now known as ahoneybun [04:07] Hi guys, is there any possibility to make all windows transparent in Linux Mint? desktop enironment, so my wallpaper shows trough all of my windows, i use Cinnamon ROSA [04:10] Keiko: This is #kubuntu.. [04:12] krytarik: sry [04:36] Zren, how [04:42] abhishek__, SystemSettings > Shortcuts > Edit > New > Command [04:43] Trigger = Keybdinging, Action = command [05:50] 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] Aleksejs: Is this a new install, upgrade, etc? [05:51] Aleksejs: What has changed since it was last working? [05:51] nothing, just installed upgrades [05:51] installation is old [05:52] when I login into shell, I see warning cannot set locale en_LV.UTF-8 [05:52] Aleksejs: Alright, let's check the usual suspects. When you login at tty1, check your user owns ~/.Xauthority [05:53] my user has 600 rights on it [05:54] I can login into plasma via guest user... [05:57] any more ideas? [05:57] Aleksejs: alright, check "find ~/ ! -user $USER" [05:57] Aleksejs: see if any permissions are wonky [05:59] should it work for a long time? [06:00] ok, it gave response [06:01] well it checks for files not owned by you. usually this is bad. [06:01] it shows ~/.gnupg permission denied [06:02] Aleksejs: well, that should be owned by your user but I don't think it would stop a logon [06:03] 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] can it affect? [06:05] I have no idea about fingerprint logins, but I am assuming it is just an extra pam module [06:05] ~/.gnupg is owned but root:root atm [06:05] So you'd still be able to use username/password [06:06] how about that locale warning? [06:07] Aleksejs: You may need to regenerate locales. I'd also sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.gnupg [06:10] it shows me lang lv_LV but it was en before [06:13] ok, I'll try to reboot now [06:31] I'm back, but it's still broken [06:32] :/ [06:32] Aleksejs: does anything get logged to ~/.xsession-errors after you try logging in? [06:34] yes, there is a warning about locales and then gpg-agent post-stop killed, and that's all [06:34] I still see that warning each time I try to login via tty [06:35] I actually don't know why ubuntu decided to change my language to en_LV, I was always using en_US [06:35] the warning is "bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_LV.UTF-8)" and it appears twice [06:38] Aleksejs: do you have the en_LV local on your system? [06:40] Aleksejs: if you run "locale", is it listed? If not, sudo locale-gen en_LV.UTF.8 [06:40] 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] Aleksejs: also, type on locale-gen, but you get it [06:40] there's no en_LV in that list [06:40] typo* [06:40] gah [06:41] it doesn't appear after locale-gen [06:42] I have no idea why ubuntu decided to use that locale [06:42] can I just drop to en_US? [06:44] Aleksejs: check what your ~/.config/plasma-localerc contains [06:45] It should be your desired/existing locale [06:47] Aleksejs: and what does "localectl status" return? [06:50] there's no plasma-localerc there. And localectl status returns LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and others are lv_LV.UTF-8 [06:52] hmmm. [06:53] well it should fall back to an existing locale anyhow, but it is weird if you cant add a new one [06:54] Aleksejs: find en_LV in /etc/locale.gen and uncomment it (if it is) then run sudo locale-gen again [06:54] hmmm, there is no en_LV [06:54] only lv_LV [06:54] well... there's no /etc/locale.gen [06:55] uh... [06:55] if you mean /etc/locale.alias [06:55] then there's no en_LV line [06:56] also there's no lv_LV line :) [06:57] Well then I do not know [06:57] My system has gone 14.04 -> 16.04 [06:57] try reinstall 'locales' === Guest76610 is now known as AciD` [07:12] still no effect [07:12] I'm grepping for LC_ALL in my home folder because I have no any other idea :( [07:27] I googled how to fix that locale problem [07:28] but still cannot login [07:28] is there anything else I can check? [07:38] 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] I guess I need another DE [07:41] since you can log in as a different user it's hardly a DE problem [07:41] I've run out of ideas what it can be tho [07:41] backup data, create new user? [08:10] omg [08:10] I finally could log in [08:10] lost all configs and now KDE looks and feels like shit [08:11] I don't know if KDE developers are here but I wish you to know that I hate you very much [08:11] it's not only visual [08:11] :) [08:11] :D [08:11] VPN doesn't save settings [08:12] I can't connect to my office VPN [08:12] thanks to you guys I got an unpaid day off [08:12] also the panel is shit and cannot be configured [08:12] as a workaround could you create another account and configure your VPN [08:13] and then in free time fix the issue on the current account [08:13] It doesn't save password for VPN [08:13] it doesn't work without password [08:13] so, no [08:14] check the /etc/NetworkManager/VPN [08:14] there should be passwords for network manager if you use it [08:15] there's nothing about my connection [08:15] probably this info is stored elsewhere [08:16] where you using network manager or something else to connect to vpn [08:16] kvpnc [08:16] also, auto hide "feature" for panel cannot be turned off and it annoys very much :) [08:16] or something else [08:17] I usually connect either via nmcli or just by clicking on VPN in network menu [08:17] so its Network manager [08:17] configuration should be there [08:18] a recall a few perhaps related VPN bugs in networkmanager/qt [08:19] here should be your connection /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [08:19] could you check [08:19] LP: 1569674 [08:19] Launchpad bug 1569674 in networkmanager-qt (Ubuntu Xenial) "[Kubuntu] Fail to connect to wifi after a recent update" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1569674 [08:19] also once I enter panel settings I can't quit, and panel becomes unusable [08:20] memphisto: there's no password [08:21] Aleksejs: Plasma 5.5 is very buggy, you could try using kubuntu backports [08:21] altho it is a PPA and not supported etc... [08:21] * hateball uses it on all his machines [08:22] hateball: funny thing is that I haven't installed 5.5 [08:22] all worked good till this morning [08:24] Aleksejs: So you are not on 16.04? [08:30] hateball: not yet [08:30] ok, I could add a VPN on my windows PC :D [08:30] atm windows is better than KDE :D [08:31] is it possible to roll back plasma version? [08:31] Aleksejs: So what version are you on? 14.04 ? [08:32] That would explain you not having config files in ~/.config, in 14.04 most of that stuff is in ~/.kde [08:32] The locale configs etc [08:34] hateball: yes, 14.04 [08:35] more bugs with network manager: I add a wifi password, then I logout/login, and wifi password is lost [08:37] do-release-upgrade shows that no new releases found [08:37] !ltsupgrade | Aleksejs [08:37] Aleksejs: Users of 14.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 16.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for July 21st. [08:41] also all my bluetooth devices doesn't work etc. I need to roll back [08:42] Aleksejs, when go to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections youll see your connections and VPN connections too. [08:42] do the cat of your VPN connection [08:42] and there is a section [08:43] [vpn-secrets] [08:43] there you'll find you password [08:44] there's no vpn-secrets [08:45] can you please share the ll /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [08:46] 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] [vpn-secrets]IPSec secret=XXXXXXXXXauth password=XXXXXXXXX [08:47] those sections depend of type of the VPN connection [08:48] I think the problem is with permissions [08:49] it should be root:root [08:50] 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] no, it's not [08:53] 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] It must be a bug with network manager [08:53] that's to many bugs on your PC [08:54] there were none till this morning "update" [08:54] that's why I want to rollback but I don't think it's possible [08:57] what updates installed?

I ran apt-get upgrade and then apt-get install plasma-desktop, and all my problems magically disappeared, except one [12:46] My bluetooth headphones are visible in BT manager but I cannot choose them as playback device in audio settings [12:47] Aleksejs: This is still on 14.04? [12:47] yes [12:49] in device preference settings my headphones are inactive and I can't make them as playback device [12:50] Aleksejs: check alsamixer and make sure they aren't muted [12:50] Hey gents. Anyone have any issues with kubuntu being a bit sluggish. Im thinking it *could* be graphics driver related [12:51] hazamonzo: Describe your problem in detail [12:53] BluesKaj: it's not even there [12:56] oh sorry that's true about 14.04 [12:56] check your line ctl then Aleksejs [13:00] hazamonzo: there's a problem with FF and adblock using a lot of resources, just discovered that yesterday on Xenial [13:01] I dumped adblock, it was the culprit [13:02] BluesKaj: Interesting. Im using AD with Chrome [13:02] yes well, is your system "sluggish" even when not running Chrome? [13:02] I'm willing to put up with a few ads for the sake of memory and cpu headroom [13:02] hateball: Its a case of switching windows, , expanding windows ect [13:02] Also µBlock is very resource friendly [13:03] Also i will get little freezes when switching windows that can last a couple of seconds [13:03] hazamonzo: you can toggle desktop effects with alt+shift+f12 to see if that is the issue [13:03] hazamonzo: what manner of GPU/driver do you have? "lspci -k", look for the VGA stuff [13:04] I'd use cherome except that the addressbar fonts are too small to read on a large monitor/tv [13:04] hateball: Looks like switching off desktop effects has already had an improvement on UI's in Chrome [13:05] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) [13:05] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] (rev a1) [13:05] 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] oh a hybrid gpu system [13:06] BluesKaj: Oh yes.... :) [13:06] 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] hazamonzo: have you tried the driver from PPA? [13:07] to enable nvidia card [13:07] hateball: On a previous installation I have but not this one [13:07] "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] I was just happy that the UI loaded [13:08] but hybrid GPU is unfun stuff, so one cannot be too sure [13:08] hateball: Risky!. I like it! [13:08] hazamonzo: if it fails, you can just purge nvidia-367 [13:08] hateball: I'll take a look after I finish working tonight. Can't destroy my machine today with my deadlines :) [13:08] hazamonzo: Good luck :) [13:09] yeah , best not to fool with a system that works [13:09] hateball: Haha thanks! [13:09] But the desktop effects thing has certainly helped a lot already! [13:09] Thank you [13:10] Although I do miss wobbly windows from my old desktop days.... :) [13:10] well it just means you're using the intel card which is too weak to handle it [13:10] and since you have an nvidia card in there it would be good to get it working [13:11] 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] 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] I tend to disable all the Fast graphic controllers (Ati and NVidia if I have a hybrid system). [13:26] And if I can do that in the BIOS/EFI - in there. [13:32] some prefer the higher graphics mode be it nvidia or amd, despite the short battery life [13:36] higher graphics mode ? For what ? [13:36] When playing a game, I can understand it. [13:36] But for everything else, it's just a waste of energy. [14:01] 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 === root is now known as Guest42648 === amn is now known as Guest24795 === kubuntu is now known as Guest21589 === Guest64561 is now known as IdleOne === bob is now known as Guest53189 [16:01] Same here. === nameless is now known as Guest35681 === maxter is now known as maxsamukha [17:41] hello [17:47] hi L0cutus [17:53] mmm unable to install (from USB) latest kubuntu :-/ [17:54] what is problem?
