QenxinHello all.05:12
acer11kubuntuHi, all - what is the best place to report issues with Kubuntu? Here, or elsewhere? I think the issues I am looking at are essentially bugs.05:51
acer11kubuntuAt the very least, they are significant  deficiencies, and they seem to be Plasma 5 specific. I never had the same issues on Plasma 4.05:51
acer11kubuntuI'm on Kubuntu 16.04 on a brand new Acer Cloudbook. It is a minimalist machine (2 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD), but should be sufficient.05:54
acer11kubuntuThe issues I'm seeing don't seem to have anything to do with storage or memory, BTW.05:54
hateballacer11kubuntu: You could start by stating what issues you have06:03
hateball!bugs | acer11kubuntu if you are sure that it's actual bugs:06:04
ubottuacer11kubuntu if you are sure that it's actual bugs:: If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers.06:04
acer11kubuntuWell, if I run anything that changes resolution while it runs (e.g., NJam game, or Grim Fandango, or many other games), it apparently rearranges my desktop icons in the background to 'fit' the temporary resolution, then they are all bollixed up when exiting the program.06:18
acer11kubuntuThey're resized and rearranged, often overlapping each other, reduced to miniscule size or otherwise changed. Very frustrating, I often have to take 30-40 minutes to get them all back to normail.06:19
acer11kubuntuHappens whether desktop are locked or not. Effectively renders the machine practically unusable for me.06:20
acer11kubuntudesktop=desktop widgets06:21
acer11kubuntuAs I said, Plasma 4 did NOT do this. I could run the game in question and after exiting, desktop is still the same.06:22
acer11kubuntuSo, not sure if that's a 'bug', but it's definitely a significant deficiency in the desktop's behavior and really hurts usability (for me, but I can't be the only person who wants to play the occasional game on Linux).06:23
=== chinmoy_ is now known as chinmoy
hateballacer11kubuntu: Oh, well maybe you could ask in #plasma before filing a bug06:28
hateballI dont use any desktop plasmoids at all, and I play all games in native res or windowed so can't say I've seen the behavior06:29
acer11kubuntuThanks for the input!06:30
chinmoyhateball: it might sound silly but anyways what are plasmoids?06:31
hateballchinmoy: well things like "folder view"06:31
hateballchinmoy: "applets"06:31
hateball"thingamajigs"06:32
hateballthe addons to display a clock, or cpu temp or whatever06:32
chinmoyhateball: now that made things clear..thanx:)06:33
chinmoyhateball: is it possible in plasma 5 to set wallpaper of the desktop directly from context menu of an image file?06:33
hateballchinmoy: Nothing by default06:34
chinmoyhateball: is there any plugin or commad line tool available?06:35
hateballchinmoy: afaik there is no proper way to set a wallpaper for plasma using cli06:36
hateballyou can do ugly hacks like inserting the path to the image in the .plasmarc and then reloading plasmashell06:36
chinmoyso there isn't any proper development going on for this feature?06:38

AleksejsHey, I have a problem with kscreenlocker after plasma update. When I restart my PC I see a new lock screen which is buggy but works. But when I lock screen I see old lock screen which does nothing when I enter my password. I can't kill screen locker process, I can only log in as guest or hard reset a PC. But I can log in on tty.07:35

yossarianukhi - is plasma 5.6.5 going to be in backports ?10:28
acheronukthink clivejo was looking to stage it10:32
mparilloIt is already in staging for YY10:32
yossarianukcool cheers10:33
acheronukfor xenial, hopefully soon10:33
yossarianukyes, running xenial thanks10:34

abhishek__will it ship with a new qt version?11:23
acheronukabhishek__: what exactly? and which qt do you mean?11:24
abhishek__qt 5.6, kde 5.7 requires that version.11:25
acheronukin yakkety, hopefully yes, eventually. ubuntu devs are working on Qt 5.6 for that anyway11:28
abhishek__what about xenial?11:29
acheronukin xenial could be more tricky, as QT 5.6 backported may break things already in the main archive done with Qt 5.511:29
=== hay is now known as hay_
abhishek__ acheronuk yeah, kde 5.7 has some useful bug fixes. I was curious if it will be for xenial given the situation you mentioned.11:39
acheronukabhishek__: I'm doing a test build of QT 5.6.1 in a ppa for xenial, to see what can be done with it and what breaks11:42
acheronukthat is as far as I know at the moment.11:42
BluesKajHowdy all11:42
abhishek__acheronuk, great, thanks.11:43
acheronukyou can try neon? they don't have to worry about breaking canonical's toys as much ;)11:44
abhishek__Okay, will try.11:58
acheronukthat was a tentative suggestion rather than a recommendation. it's not for everyone, so read up on what's it's about before you do.12:00

cuckooI just installed Kubuntu 16.04 on my desktop PC, but neither my USB mouse nor my USB keyboard are working. They did in the live mode... I tried a PS/2 keyboard and it is working, but not a PS/2 mouse. Any recommendation15:41

lethubit0: yw16:08
bit0can I do the same with more than one file?16:10

lethubit0: * means whatever the files are named they shall be edited16:13
bit0and so how I type it on the terminal, if my folder has the name Wallpapers16:15

viewer|61278Hi, does anybody know how to activate and configure the screensaver in kubuntu 16.04?16:29
=== thiago_ is now known as Guest35429
Guest35429816:38
lethuviewer|61278: System settings > Power management16:38
viewer|61278Thank you, lethu, I do not have any screen saver options in the Power management dialogue, though...16:45
lethuviewer|61278: do you have a "Screen Energy Saving" option under "Energy Saving"?16:46
viewer|61278Positive, but it only turns off the screen.  I am looking for a way to enable either a slideshow or some animations when the screen-timeout occurs.16:48
lethuviewer|61278: then you should install xscreensaver then run its setup, it's an option among others16:50
viewer|61278Thank you, lethu, that brought me much closer to what I want to do, but it produces several errors and still does not seem to have a slideshow of locally saved images as an option (unless I missed it).17:18
lethuviewer|61278: can you pastebin the errors17:19
lethuviewer|61278: as to the slideshow I wouldn't know, been a long while since I used xscreensaver17:20
viewer|612781.: During installation (using apt-get install): "Warning: stopping snapd.service, but it can still be activated by: snapd.socket".   When launching the screensaver for the first time, it posts (in a dialogue box):"Warning: The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display "0". Launch it now?"  Options are "Cancel" and "OK"17:26
lethuviewer|61278: you should chose "Ok"17:27
viewer|61278Awesome.  Thank you!  You have been way more helpful than anything I found on the web about this issue!  I don't understand why xscreensaver is not part of kde by default anymore.  Thanks again!17:33
lethuviewer|61278: glad I could help17:33

ret2libc_hi. i'm using konsole with the Solarized Dark theme, but i'm noticing it's somehow weird. When I use `ls` the directories are not very different from normal files. the color seems almost the same.21:08
AciD`ok that's it22:22
AciD`I give up22:22
AciD`latest news in kubuntu world (after outputting ~500,000 lines of useless log in .xsession-errors every 2 hours !?), every now and then (approx. 10 seconds), my mouse cursor is positionned on top of the dolphin icon in the icon only taskbar.22:24
AciD`wtf22:24
AciD`a reboot did not solve that 'feature'22:24
AciD`seems like it's not the dolphin icon that my mouse cursor like, but just this specific coordinates (I removed said dolphin icon just to see if that was the source of the problem)22:26
lethuAciD`: which graphics card?22:29
lethuAmd or nVidia?22:29
AciD`lethu -> I haven't updated my driver for weeks, and this just started. Also, AMD open-source driver22:29
lethuAciD`: also which Kubuntu version?22:29
AciD`16.0422:29
AciD`with kubuntu-ppa backport22:29
lethuAciD`: maybe it's time to update your driver22:30
AciD`just like that?22:30
AciD`not really stable for a lts hum?22:31
lethuAciD`: see if it fixes the problem, maybe a kernel update broke the driver22:31
AciD`I did upgraded some package this morning, but I don't recall seeing any kernel related one22:32
AciD`and that was hours before seeing this bs22:32
AciD`I never ever saw a mouse problem like that, in decades, it's really, really weird22:33
AciD`oh my, I feel dumb22:33
AciD`..22:33
AciD`the wind made my graphic tablet pen fall on top of said graphic tablet which was covered with a stack of sheet22:34
AciD`it still worked.22:34
* AciD` hides in shame22:35
lethuAciD`: I feel you22:35
AciD`well, I nuked some stuff during 'debugging' this, time to put those back in :x22:35
lethu:)22:36
AciD`ah, and of course the icon-only taskbar never picks up any application that do not already have a launcher in it22:36
AciD`oh well, no more dolphin launcher in that...22:36
ret2libcguys don't you usually use solarized theme in konsole? it looks really bad on my installation, with colors for directory that are the same as normal files :( does this happen to anyone else? on fedora it works great :(22:40
