| JohnDroid | ret2libc: they talk about what they are working on. They share their screen and showcase some of the new features in kde. They talk about what's going on in the KDE world. It's a bit long to follow and I hope future episode will be more professional, cause now it's amateur | 09:09 |
| JohnDroid | ret2libc: they gives some feedback | 09:10 |

| yossarianuk | I'm loving the fact that multiple monitor hot plugging works really well in Plasma 5.6.x ! | 10:36 |
| yossarianuk | seems flawless now | 10:37 |
| hateball | seems, being the keyword | 10:37 |
| hateball | As there are still plenty of bugs both in Plasma and Qt. But yes, it works a lot better than stock 16.04 at any rate | 10:38 |

| === totoro is now known as canada3 | ||
| canada3 | hello | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | hi canada3 | 15:52 |
| canada3 | how are you doing BluesKaj? | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | good thanks, canada3, and you? | 15:54 |
| canada3 | doing well! Just installed 15.10 for the first time a couple days ago, and I think it is just fantastic. Especially Plasma, holy cow! | 15:55 |
| canada3 | I do have a question, that I am hoping is a simple fix. On Fedora they have an option to right click in any folder and say "Open in Terminal". Is this possible on Kubuntu? I use that feature a lot | 15:56 |
| s_20 | uh, well, right click, actions, open in terminal (or similar) | 15:58 |
| canada3 | so I did find that option | 15:59 |
| canada3 | however, it only works on that folder specifically, when I go to another location, I have to add it to the list again | 15:59 |
| canada3 | if that makes sense | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | canada3, add it to the list? | 16:03 |
| canada3 | is there a native way to screenshot in kubuntu? | 16:04 |
| canada3 | I can show you | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | prtscn key should do it | 16:05 |
| canada3 | hmm | 16:06 |
| canada3 | now dolphin is crashing when I select actions | 16:06 |
| canada3 | just a moment | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | .then upload to imgur | 16:07 |
| canada3 | Think I am going to have to reboot | 16:11 |
| canada3 | dolphin is not playing nice | 16:11 |
| acheronuk | on right click, under 'actions' I have 'open terminal here' | 16:11 |

| soee | konversation :) | 21:18 |
| Nani_Dragon | I like konversation, I just need to change the colors... | 21:18 |
| bprompt | Nani_Dragon: many folks prefer xchat, I've used konversation in the past, it wasn't that good, then again, that was a long while back, you could always use Kvirc, which is what I ended up uisng back then | 21:20 |
| bprompt | erk, not xchat... though is what used, quite good btw, many folks prefer Hexchat these days | 21:21 |
| Nani_Dragon | thanks for the top, bprompt. what did you not like about it? | 21:21 |
| Nani_Dragon | *tip | 21:22 |
| bprompt | Nani_Dragon: well, it didn't have any colors, as in, coloring each nick's lines, other clients like xchat, do that, and you can track many conversations or threads easy, since you know which color is who | 21:22 |
| bprompt | if you liked the "top", you may also like the "right" and "left" =) | 21:22 |
| bprompt | Nani_Dragon: the lines coloring makes a huge difference on a hectic channel | 21:23 |
| genii | The main issue with xchat is that it has been pretty much abandonware for a while | 21:24 |
| ChetManly | !ssdm | 21:24 |
| ChetManly | !sddm | 21:24 |
| genii | example... xchat.org.. "Latest News" ..last entry is Aug 28 2010 | 21:25 |

| ChetManly | is there any other option for 16.04? | 21:26 |
| bprompt | ChetManly: option for ? | 21:26 |
| Nani_Dragon | line coloring | 21:26 |
| genii | ChetManly: You can still install lightdm-kde-greeter if you prefer that | 21:26 |
| bprompt | Nani_Dragon: I"m thinking so, most irc clients do, is a feature that helps greatly when tracking many nicks or threads | 21:27 |
| ChetManly | genii: I dont perfer that but this unfinished sddm is driving me nuts | 21:27 |
| bprompt | ChetManly: what are you looking for again? | 21:27 |
| ChetManly | I like kdm and think it shouldnt have been abandoned until sddm works correctly | 21:27 |
| ChetManly | I can use gdm cant I ? | 21:28 |
| genii | kdm has not been the default DM for a while now | 21:28 |
| ChetManly | I know but I could still use it if I liked | 21:28 |
| ChetManly | and I understand why they are getting rid of it .... but | 21:29 |
| ChetManly | linux what choice from what I remember | 21:29 |
| ChetManly | can I use gdm without dragging the environment here? | 21:29 |
| genii | ChetManly: There are many variants of the lightdm. Each flavour has one, for instance. You could install all of them, then just point /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to point to it | 21:30 |
| Unit193 | gnome-settings-daemon (>= 3.2), gnome-shell (>= 3.10.1-2~), gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager | x-terminal-emulator, no. | 21:30 |
| genii | There's also lxdm | 21:30 |
| bprompt | hmm | 21:31 |
| bprompt | ChetManly: what's the issue with sddm? if I may ask | 21:31 |
| ChetManly | twinview | 21:31 |
| genii | bprompt: For one thing it spans screens | 21:31 |
| ChetManly | or multi dispaly | 21:31 |
| bprompt | ohhhh... ok | 21:31 |
| genii | So for two screens your login area is across the bezel | 21:31 |
| bprompt | you could always just use Unity or lxdm | 21:32 |
| ChetManly | can cannot set my monitor to be the lgoin screen so I have to turn my tv on to login | 21:32 |
| ChetManly | ridiculous | 21:32 |
| Nani_Dragon | bprompt: I get what you are saying | 21:33 |
| genii | I had a similar proble, since my laptop screen died. i need to have the external as my primary. I just used an xrandr script and pointed lightdm to this | 21:33 |
| Nani_Dragon | its hard for me at the moment to follow all these separate conversations | 21:33 |
| ChetManly | what is the package ..that used to be called plasma quickaccess for your panel callled again,,, I cannot find it in repos | 21:34 |
| * genii wanders off to do chores for about 30 minutes | 21:35 | |
