[00:45] <fuze> is there a gui in kubuntu 16.04 to change my devices hostname?
[01:54] <Quantos> Hey guys and gals.  I'm having a heck of a time trying to setup the autologin feature.  Can someone help me out?
[02:31] <wyoung> hi Quantos!
[02:42] <abhishek> hi guys!
[02:43] <abhishek> Right now, I am using Kubuntu 16.04 with kde 5.6.4 through backports. So I am guessing kde-neon and kubuntu are at the same update level.
[02:48] <abhishek> Normally, after how much time is the new kde released via backports in kubuntu?
[02:52] <Quantos> Hi wyoung
[03:02] <ahoneybun> abhishek: I think Neon has a few minor versions above us
[03:02] <ahoneybun> it depends on what is needed to bring it in
[03:03] <ahoneybun> Plasma 5.7 needs a newer version of Qt that Ubuntu 16.04 has
[03:03] <ahoneybun> we usually work it into the next release first then backport it into the LTS
[03:04] <ahoneybun> so 15.10 might have 5.8 at the rate development is going
[03:04] <ahoneybun> opps
[03:04] <ahoneybun> 16.10
[03:13] <abhishek> ahoneybun, thanks for the reply. I think kde 5.7 is scheduled for this fall. After, a newer kde is released normally after how much time is a backport available.
[03:13] <abhishek> I am referring to 16.04 here.
[03:18] <abhishek> in kubuntu 16.04  there is no Grouping and Sorting options in Icon Task Manager. Though manjaro has it, anyway to get it.
[03:20] <soee> Plasma 5.7 will be released in 2 weeks
[03:20] <soee> but no eta for making it into 16.04
[03:20] <rollo>  I have grouping & sorting in 16.04, plasma 5.5.5
[03:20] <soee> as it requires Qt 5.6.1
[03:22] <abhishek> rollo, weird I don't have it in 5.6.4 http://imgur.com/Pvxv6tk
[03:24] <rollo> and I don't have "Show progress".
[03:34] <rollo> Speaking of the taskbar, I use auto-hide on the panel.  Every time I change widow focus, it highlights that tab in the taskbar and raises the panel.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[07:17] <mparillo> rollo: Fix should be landing soon (FIXED-IN: 5.6.5). Some work-arounds: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362105
[07:29] <rollo> thanks

[09:24] <g105b> Is there a way I can use the meta key on its own as a keyboard shortcut to the application launcher?
[09:33] <hateball> g105b: there is ksuperkey
[09:43] <Fritigern> There used to be a time when ctrl+alt+backspace would restart the X server. This does not seem to work anymore, did the key combo change, or is there something that I should do to enable the combo?
[09:44] <hateball> !dontzap
[09:44] <hateball> hmmm
[09:46] <Fritigern> What was that supposed to trigger, hateball?
[09:47] <hateball> Fritigern: how to enable an X option
[09:47] <hateball> but I am googling and it seems it has been changed
[09:47] <hateball> Fritigern: http://popularubuntuquestions.com/how-can-i-enable-ctrlaltbackspace/
[09:47] <hateball> Fritigern: see answer #3
[09:48] <hateball> no idea if it works tho
[09:48]  * Fritigern mutters something about changing stuff that works....
[09:48] <Fritigern> I'll let yyou know how it works out
[09:49] <hateball> well, I personally havent had the need to use it for... at least half a decade I guess
[09:49] <hateball> hence not knowing it had been change :p
[09:51] <Fritigern> I haven;t needed it in a long time either, but lately my gfx driver (Nvidia 367.27) is doing some weird stuff every now and then. It's noce to have some stuff to try and see if it works
[09:57] <Fritigern> Well, that worked! System settings => Input devices => Advanced => Key sequence to kill the X server
[09:58] <Fritigern> And then of course tick ctrl+alt+backspace, hit apply, hit ctrl+alt+backspace and BOOM! X restarts :-)
[10:01] <Fritigern> hateball: At least now you know that it works ;-)
[10:31] <chinmoy> whenever  i right click a file/folder on desktop and click open then i get an error message saying "Malformed URL".why is it so?
[10:32] <hateball> chinmoy: make sure folders are set to be opened with Dolphin and not something else
[10:36] <chinmoy> hateball: when i double click folders or file they open but when i right click on them and select open then it shows malformed url.
[10:36] <hateball> chinmoy: rightclick a folder and edit settings
[10:37] <hateball> properties I mean
[10:37] <hateball> then click the mimetype options, see that dolphin is on the top
[10:38] <chinmoy> yes dolphin is on top
[10:40] <hateball> chinmoy: run "kcmshell5 componentchooser" and check if dolphin is default file manager
[10:42] <chinmoy> yes dolphin is the default file manager
[10:43] <chinmoy> the error message only appears if i try to open a file using right_click>open
[10:43] <chinmoy> if i double click it everything works fine
[10:48] <chinmoy> i think the "desktop:/" is not working properly
[10:49] <hateball> ah I see what you mean now
[10:49] <hateball> opening from a plasmoid
[10:49] <chinmoy> yes
[10:49] <hateball> Yes I can reproduce that as well
[10:50] <chinmoy> and when i changed the Folder View > Location to $HOME/Desktop everything worked.
[10:51] <chinmoy> what do you think?
[10:52] <hateball> chinmoy: Feel free to file a bug, since it is easily reproducable
[10:53] <hateball> I am using the 5.6 backports, it is the same here
[10:53] <acheronuk> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364530
[10:54] <chinmoy> well i had filed that
[10:58] <chinmoy> and the same is happening with folder view widgets
[11:06] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:08] <acheronuk> chinmoy: can reproduce in Yakkety with plasna 5.6.5, neon with plasma 5.7 beta and
[11:09] <chinmoy> using the desktop protocol you also can't copy/paste/create files in dolphin
[11:10] <chinmoy> i think the desktop protocol is malfunctioned
[11:23] <chinmoy> when i go to some folder in desktop from folder view widgets then the copy/paste/create function doesn't work.
[12:21] <dellhem> Hey! Sometimes my machine won't wake up from suspend and I have to force it off to get it back up, any ideas on troubleshooting?
[12:22] <wyoung> dellhem: some bios's / firmware are buggy
[12:22] <wyoung> dellhem: or hardware fault can cause it too
[12:23] <wyoung> dellhem: See if there are any firmware / bios updates for your computer.  In particular, read hte changelog to see if any of the version fixes a buggy suspend issue
[12:36] <dellhem> wyoung - have had unrelated issues and therefore switched the motherboard 2 times, and the suspend has been the same, so it's probably not hardware. it could be bios, though.
[15:39] <jake123> Hi - does anyone know the path to agent-startup.sh in Kubuntu 16.04?  This path does not exist in my system: /etc/plasma/startup/agent-startup.sh.  There is no /etc/plasma directory.
[15:40] <yossarianuk> jake123: what does agent-startup.dh do, pretty such its not default
[15:40] <yossarianuk> *sure*
[15:41] <jake123> It starts ssh-agent.  I'm trying to automate ssh according to this: https://stijn.tintel.eu/blog/2015/11/28/automatically-unlock-ssh-keys-login-kwallet-kwallet-pam-and-ksshaskpass

[20:39] <allesz_> hi guys. I would like to update plasma as outlined here: http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=950 . how stable is this version? the other question is how easy is it to downgrade?
[20:41] <acheronuk> running fine here. generally a better experience than plasma 5.5 I would say.
[20:47] <allesz_> acheronuk: is it possible to downgrade without breaking the system?
[20:49] <acheronuk> yes. to revert install the program ppa-purge, and then run in a terminal 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports'
[20:52] <allesz_> acheronuk:  thanks a lot for your help. I will give it a try.
[21:08] <allesz_> acheronuk: menu auto hide does not work anymore. where should I file this?
[21:10] <acheronuk> This bug? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362105
[21:12] <allesz_> thanks guys. how can I get the plasma version used on my system?
[21:12] <acheronuk> if so, comment 23 in that bug report says how you can get around it temporarily
[21:12] <allesz_> acheronuk: thanks a lot again.
[21:12] <acheronuk> should be fixed when 5.6.5 is backported
[21:13] <acheronuk> 'plasmashell -v' in a terminal will give it
[21:14] <allesz_> acheronuk: workaround works. unfortunately once the second virtual desktop is removed the bug comes back ;-)
[21:15] <allesz_> acheronuk: but can live with the the 2nd virtual desktop
[21:15] <allesz_> acheronuk: awesome will wait it out then ;-)
[21:15] <acheronuk> fair enough. I forget about it as I don't autohide
[21:16] <allesz_> acheronuk: no I meant with having a 2nd  unused virtual desktop
[21:16] <acheronuk> plus I've log ago removed the default panel and made a new one here, which also works around it if I recall
[21:16] <acheronuk> allesz_: yep. I got what you meant
[21:16] <acheronuk> too busy typing
[21:16] <allesz_> acheronuk: don't worry. same here ;-)
[21:33] <allesz_> any recommendations on a twitter client? I am using corebird now but would like to switch to something more  QT based.
[21:41] <soee> chokoq
[21:41] <soee> but new version isn't packaged yet i think
[21:55] <allesz_> soee: thanks I always forget this app. the nameis hard to remember for me I guee ;-)
[21:58] <allesz_> soee: could it be that the name is chokoq? sudo apt install chokoq works on this
[21:58] <soee> might be :D
[23:00] <Inseighn> Hey, I'm using the breeze dark theme and when using gimp all the tooltips are white on white and unreadable :( it happens with some combo boxes and other tooltips as well.. anyone run into the same issue?
[23:03] <bprompt> Inseighn:   yes and no, gimp would not be using kde's theme, but gtk's, and I"d think gtk3 theming, you have to keep in mind that, themes simply set some colors or graphics to some window components, like text, menus and such, and themes can pick and choose which to style only, or style everything, so when a theme sets a background color on a component and not the foreground, the app may use a default color that may not work with th
[23:04] <Inseighn> makes sense
[23:05] <bprompt> Inseighn:    a work around, is to either, modify the theme, check your ~/.themes folder, it'd be in the theme directory under the .gtk3 folder, or use another theme
[23:05] <Inseighn> thanks
[23:07] <bprompt> Inseighn:    https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/ord/latest/     <--- many to check for
[23:09] <bprompt> Inseighn:  https://www.gnome-look.org/search?projectSearchText=dark+breeze    <---- not all themes are created equal =)
