[01:38] <_jam> some apps are occasionally not displaying text. I think it only happens after resuming from a suspend, though I can't be sure
[01:38] <_jam> my google-fu is failing me. restarting the app doesn't help
[01:39] <_jam> restarting the computer does, but that's not so helpful
[01:39] <_jam> running 16.04
[03:20] <viewer|83942> Is Kubuntu 12.04 still supported?
[03:26] <krytarik> viewer|83942: Yes, till April next year still.
[03:26] <viewer|83942> Yay
[03:27] <viewer|83942> I hope they don't push the change to systemd down to previous releases like Microsoft to Windows 7 for Telemetry
[03:30] <krytarik> Change the init system of a stable release?  Not really.
[04:22] <viewer|1932> hello
[05:01] <ChetManly> hey since the driver manager, jockey is broken on my system, and my gui keeps freezing, how do I install the prop. drivers with muon or something
[06:58] <JohnDroid> hello! When is the next kubuntu podcast planned?
[07:07] <JunkHunk> hello. how do I upgrade from 14.04.4 to 15.04 LTS?
[07:07] <JunkHunk> I cannot find the upgrade button anywhere
[07:08] <hateball> !ltsupgrade | JunkHunk
[07:09] <JunkHunk> oh
[07:10] <JunkHunk> but
[07:10] <JunkHunk> will I be able to bypass the 15.04?
[07:11] <JunkHunk> oh
[07:11] <JunkHunk> sorry i missed
[07:11] <JunkHunk> no 15.04 LTS
[07:12] <JunkHunk> okay but...wikipedia says that 16.04 LTS is already available since 2016-04.21
[07:12] <JunkHunk> ah
[07:12] <JunkHunk> but not the automatic update got it
[07:12] <hateball> yes
[07:12] <hateball> you can force it, at your own peril
[07:12] <hateball> (I'd wait)
[07:12] <JunkHunk> okay then
[08:03] <JohnDroid> Hi! Someone know when the next kubuntu podcast will be aired?
[08:36] <ret2libc> JohnDroid: just out of curiosity: what do they talk about usually in those podcasts?
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <JohnDroid> ret2libc: they gives some feedback
[09:11] <JohnDroid> ret2libc: you can read some of the shownotes.  https://goo.gl/jQltkq  https://goo.gl/v6xLxm
[09:43] <ret2libc> JohnDroid: i see! thanks

[09:47] <Guest87969> Whenever I click on the play button in vlc after pausing, I hear a crackling sound for small duration. I also hear at the startup. Any suggestions?(Kubuntu 16.04)
[09:48] <lethu> Guest87969: try launching vlc through a terminal
[09:48] <lethu> Guest87969: and wathch for feedback
[09:48] <lethu> watch*
[09:53] <Guest87969> lethu, output http://paste.ubuntu.com/17738362/
[09:53] <Guest87969> please check
[09:56] <lethu> Guest87969: try removing the "libvdpau-va-gl" package
[09:58] <Guest87969> lethu, can't find it. dpkg -l | grep libvdpau-va-gl gives nothing
[09:59] <lethu> Guest87969: try installing it then
[10:00] <Guest87969> which lib is it a part of?
[10:06] <lethu> cracklingsound: there should be a package named libvdpau-va-gl1
[10:36] <yossarianuk> I'm loving the fact that multiple monitor hot plugging works really well in Plasma 5.6.x !
[10:37] <yossarianuk> seems flawless now
[10:37] <hateball> seems, being the keyword
[10:38] <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] <YankDownUnder> ...almost "Mac"-ish... ;)
[10:49] <ankiwi> Multimonitor with kubuntu is the easiest thing I've ever dealt with.
[12:17] <g105b> Many task launcher / switchers have the ability to switch or launch the task using keyboard shortcuts, but I can't figure out how to do this with kubuntu panels. Preferably I would like to press SUPER+1 through SUPER+9 to perform a click on the launcher that corresponds to that number. Is this possible to set up?
[12:47] <JohnDroid> Would it be possible in the future to download the iso file over HTTPS?
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[15:50] <canada3> hello
[15:52] <BluesKaj> hi canada3
[15:53] <canada3> how are you  doing BluesKaj?
[15:54] <BluesKaj> good thanks, canada3, and you?
[15:55] <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!
[15:56] <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
[15:58] <s_20> uh, well, right click, actions, open in terminal (or similar)
[15:59] <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
[16:03] <BluesKaj> canada3, add it to the list?
[16:04] <canada3> is there a native way to screenshot in kubuntu?
[16:04] <canada3> I can show you
[16:05] <BluesKaj> prtscn key should do it
[16:06] <canada3> hmm
[16:06] <canada3> now dolphin is crashing when I select actions
[16:06] <canada3> just a moment
[16:07] <BluesKaj> .then upload to imgur
[16:11] <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'
[18:12] <dbrom> i installed dropbox on a kubuntu system and not it wont load the GUI... any ideas y that happened
[18:15] <Nani_Dragon> how did you install it?
[18:17] <soee> dbrom: try launching it from Krunner
[18:17] <soee> ALT + F2, and type: dropbox , ENTER
[18:18] <BluesKaj> dbrom, like this ?  https://www.nixternal.com/kde-and-dropbox/
[18:20] <soee> or open Kicker search for shortcut and click on it
[18:23] <genii> heh, nixternal. Haven't seen him for ages
[18:23] <Nani_Dragon> Anyone know of a good tool that will allow me to take quick screenshots and automatically upload them and give me a link?
[18:26] <genii> !info shutter | Nani_Dragon
[18:45] <Nani_Dragon> genii, weird, I am trying to install that from the software center and it keeps telling me that I cant because I have not authenticated
[18:45] <ModManMatt> hey guys im having trouble with my kubuntu install is it better to use the older version?
[18:46] <Nani_Dragon> This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided
[18:46] <genii> Nani_Dragon: Have you tried form Muon Discover instead?
[18:47] <soee> just use Spectacle -> button Export Image -> Share -> Imgur
[18:47] <soee> ModManMatt: what problem
[18:47] <Nani_Dragon> what is that genii ?
[18:47] <soee> Nani_Dragon: [20:47] <soee> just use Spectacle -> button Export Image -> Share -> Imgur
[18:47] <ModManMatt> getting lots of errors that system is broken
[18:47] <Nani_Dragon> I am in Muon Discover at the moment
[18:47] <genii> soee: Is that in Wily? That is the release this user is on
[18:47] <soee> ModManMatt: on Xenial ?
[18:48] <Nani_Dragon> is Spectacle built in?
[18:48] <ModManMatt> canyt update or runn lots of apps seems like permissions all messed iup im running the newer 6 version
[18:48] <soee> why are you on Wily oO
[18:48] <soee> ModManMatt: sudo apt -f install
[18:48] <genii> Nani_Dragon: So no, disregard the Spectacle remark in this case
[18:49] <ModManMatt> Malformed entry 54 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
[18:49] <ModManMatt> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[18:49] <ModManMatt> E: Malformed entry 54 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
[18:49] <soee> Wily EOL is July 2016
[18:49] <ModManMatt> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[18:49] <ModManMatt> cant perform any admin commands it seems
[18:49] <soee> ModManMatt: install pastebinit
[18:50] <soee> than: sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[18:50] <ModManMatt> roger
[18:50] <soee> and paste link here pls
[18:51] <ModManMatt> i cant even open stores now it says my configuration may be broken
[18:52] <ModManMatt> install ./pastebinit
[18:52] <soee> well than check what is on line 54 in /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:54] <genii> soee: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list also works ;)
[18:54] <soee> :D
[18:54] <soee> not if he can't install it
[18:54] <ModManMatt> nop cant eoither :(
[18:55] <ModManMatt> guess its time for a backup and reinstall
[18:55] <ModManMatt> was first install was bound to screw it up somehow
[18:55] <ModManMatt> question is should i use older version of kubuntu or latest version
[18:56] <ModManMatt> ill do more reading next time i want to start ploaying with permssions on stuff lol
[18:56] <ModManMatt> but yeah i think this thing is fudged
[18:56] <soee> use Xenial atm. It is LTS, has latest Plasma etc.
[18:57] <ModManMatt> Xenial? got a link?
[18:57] <ModManMatt> this is old mac mini so need something good for old 32 bit setup
[18:57] <BluesKaj> noticed that if one uses the command : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nameofppa-ppa/name , the ppa shows up in the packagemanger gui like muon's settings>configure software sources, but not in the sources.list
[18:58] <soee> !download ModManMatt
[18:58] <soee> !download | ModManMatt
[18:58] <ModManMatt> finaly got in soiurces list its empty
[18:58] <genii> BluesKaj: It makes an unique entry usually in a separate file under the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/   directory
[18:59] <ModManMatt> ok i see ubuntu web xenial
[18:59] <BluesKaj> oh right genii .doh! ..my memory fails me again

[19:03] <ModManMatt> not sure what you mena genie
[19:05] <genii> ModManMatt: What I mean is for you to type in, exactly: sed '54q;d' /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:05] <genii> ModManMatt: In Konsole or other terminal program, and then tell us what the result of that command is
[19:06] <genii> BTW that upubuntu PPA has no packages for anything later than Quantal
[19:08] <genii> The command will tell us what is in that file on the 54th line
[19:08] <yofel> !download
[19:08] <yofel> there we go

[19:39] <Nani_Dragon> I am having issues installing comics into the plasma comic widget, is there a trick or something?
[19:39] <Nani_Dragon> I added it to the desktop, and when I click configure, and get comics, nothing happens
[19:41] <soee> Nani_Dragon: did you used the button to download some comics ?
[19:42] <soee> by defautl there are not installed i think, you have to download some and check the checkbox for dowloaded items to use them
[19:44] <Nani_Dragon> Weird, it would not let me download any
[19:44] <Nani_Dragon> when I clicked get comics, nothing happened
[19:45] <Nani_Dragon> however,  I found some comics in the software center
[19:45] <Nani_Dragon> added them there, and now it works
[19:51] <user|38837> Hello, I just downloaded Kubuntu to a DVD, but how do I load it on my PC? I tried to open the disc but Windows 10 asks me which app I want to us to opne it
[19:52] <soee> user|38837: set boot priority in BIOS to CD/DVD
[19:53] <soee> than Kubuntu will boot from CD/DVD and you will be able to test/install it
[19:53] <soee> !livesession
[19:53] <user|38837> I don't know how to do that. Sorry. How do i get to the BIOS?
[19:53] <soee> you usually press F2 or F12 when computer starts

[20:23] <user|38837> So far i am very impressed and pleased. Thank you.
[20:24] <soee> :)
[21:02] <user|38837> I am having trouble hooking up my WiFi. I entered all the info in the settings, edit mode but it does not let me save it (OK).
[21:04] <soee> hmm
[21:05] <soee> user|38837: and do you have cable connection ?
[21:06] <user|38837> I right clicked on the wifi icon it said, not connected, I expanded it, a box has 4 tabs, I set up in each tab what I thought was correct, but the OK button is not clcikable.
[21:06] <user|38837> Yes, i am chatting with you on my other PC with it
[21:07] <soee> user|38837: can you plug that cable on second PC and add backports ppa and update system ?
[21:07] <user|38837> It is NetGear Modum
[21:07] <user|38837> Oh you mean a direct cable link?

[21:16] <Nani_Dragon> are you guys using Konversation, or some other program?
[21:17] <genii> I prefer quassel
[21:17] <Nani_Dragon> is that terminal based?
[21:17] <Unit193> Irssi. :>
[21:18] <soee> konversation :)
[21:18] <Nani_Dragon> I like konversation, I just need to change the colors...
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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?
[21:22] <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" =)
[21:23] <bprompt> Nani_Dragon:     the lines coloring makes a huge difference on a hectic channel
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <genii> example... xchat.org.. "Latest News" ..last entry is Aug 28 2010
[21:25] <ChetManly> what am I looking for?
[21:25] <genii> !info sddm
[21:26] <Nani_Dragon> bprompt: wonder if it does that now. I dont know much about IRC, just learning myself
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <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
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <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?
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <ChetManly> what is the package ..that used to be called plasma quickaccess for your panel callled again,,, I cannot find it in repos
[21:35]  * genii wanders off to do chores for about 30 minutes
[21:36] <bprompt> Nani_Dragon:    and this channel isn't that busy, I've been in channels with around 300 folks and about 15 of them talking at the same time, and the screen scrolls constantly, there it makes a huge difference :)
[21:36] <ChetManly> its like folder view except interactive
[21:36] <ChetManly> Nani_Dragon: change your color scheme
[21:38] <ChetManly> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-quickaccess
[21:39] <ChetManly> why isnt this in the repos ?
[21:39] <ChetManly> it is by FAR the best panel folder access widget
[21:41] <bprompt> hmmm well....  dunno, I've never used it myself, I odn't see it for 16.04, so it was likely removed
[21:42] <ChetManly> everything always has to be lightweight
[21:42] <ChetManly> like who installs kde to be lightweight
[21:43] <ChetManly> lightdm and the rest.... hands up, whos installing kde on their watch
[21:43] <ChetManly> facepalm
[21:44] <ChetManly> the days of 16 GB of ram and dedicated gpus and stuff...
[21:44] <ChetManly> fail
[21:45] <ChetManly> kubuntu eye candy edition ftw
[21:45] <ChetManly> netbooks are dead
[21:46] <ChetManly> im surprised konversation made it in
[21:48] <ChetManly> plasma quick access and the back button for the kmenu kicker are the two coolest small eye candy things missing
[21:48] <ChetManly> breadcrumbs... thats easy navigate...
[21:49] <ChetManly> to*
[22:06] <Nani_Dragon> ChetManly: do you have a recommendation for color scheme?
[22:22] <ModManMatt> and im back with a fresh install
