[03:01] <YankDownUnder> Anyone familiar with constant "plasmashell" crashes? Or how to fix them? It's getting relatively annoying...
[03:37] <Guest33824> i don't have any virtual terminals
[05:19] <valorie> Guest33824: what version are you running
[05:19] <valorie> ?
[05:20] <valorie> I had trouble getting all of them working for awhile, but I think that was in the 16.04 beta
[05:20] <valorie> long fixed....
[06:16] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:34] <JohnDroid> Hello
[08:34] <JohnDroid> where could I find a beatiful KDE mug?
[08:35] <hateball> Mug, as in to drink from?
[08:36] <hateball> I am not sure there exists any official Kubuntu or KDE merchandise
[10:20] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:22] <Smurphy> Morning :)
[10:23] <BluesKaj> what's happeneing today?
[10:24] <Smurphy> Only thing that I can say for sure, is that I'm not really motivated for work ...
[10:24] <Smurphy> :}
[10:24] <Smurphy> A part from that - rain.
[10:24] <Smurphy> :D
[10:27] <BluesKaj> I know the feeling, and we need rain
[10:41] <Smurphy> it rained for 6 weeks non-stop here. WE could send it over....
[10:43] <BluesKaj> wow ok the floods in France
[11:01] <eeos> hi everybody .... I have problems in making a samsung syncmaster p2450 work as external monitor with my laptop on kubuntu 16.04 lts
[11:01] <eeos> it does work during bootstrap up to after I log into plasma then it stops working.
[11:05] <hateball> eeos: can you delete your configs in ~/.local/share/kscreen and reboot, have kscreen re-detect the monitor?
[11:06] <hateball> Multimonitor support is... not awesome in 16.04. You can upgrade to Plasma 5.6 using kubuntu backports, it makes things less terrible
[11:06] <yossarianuk> hateball: mutli monitor hotplugging seems fixed (ish) in 16.04 + PPA
[11:23] <eeos> yossarianuk: hateball: thank you .... how do I do that?
[11:24] <hateball> eeos: Do what?
[11:26] <eeos> hateball: updte only plasma and not everything else
[11:26] <hateball> eeos: well that'll be hard once you add the PPA. but for now the applications are not updated
[11:26] <hateball> you can hold packages back of course
[11:27] <hateball> eeos: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs#Kubuntu_Backports
[12:24] <eeos> hateball: thank you. Have you used thm already?
[12:25] <hateball> eeos: thm?
[15:19] <viewer|30705> how can I install kubuntu alongside win10 with saving of the win10 metro bootloader? please provide step by step guide
[19:48] <allesz_> hi guys. Is there a GUI tool for creating luks file images?
[19:49] <allesz_> I would love to create luks encrypted image files with a nice preferably QT gui app.
[19:49] <allesz_> is there an dolphin add-on?
[19:59] <Dragnslcr> allesz_- it doesn't look like it, but if I remember correctly, writing Dolphin services/add-ons is fairly easy
[20:09] <allesz_> Dragnslcr: thanks. I am really surprised that something "essential" does not exist. Also not in gnome camp as far as I know.
[20:09] <allesz_> Dragnslcr: I would love to help developing an add-on like this.
[20:35] <valorie> allesz_: please join #dolphin or the devel list and propose such an add-on
[20:35] <valorie> sounds useful
[20:55] <allesz_> valorie: thank you. yes will do. I would be really great to have this to finally say good bye to truecrypt ;-)
[21:05] <Fritigern> I am trying to figure out why ffmpegthumbnailer does not seem to make thumbs of my videos. I have it enabled in Settings => Configure Dolphin => General => Previews bit nothing is happening. I can call ffmpegtumbnailes from the command line, and it works there. What am I missing?
[21:09] <allesz_> valorie: done: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364831
[21:17] <valorie> thank you allesz_
[21:17] <valorie> I hope you will hang out with the dolphin devels and make it even more awesome
[21:18] <valorie> Fritigern: I see the same question quite a few places
[21:18] <Fritigern> So am i doing something wrong, or is rthere something else going on?
[21:18] <valorie> perhaps check bugs.kde.org and see if it's been filed?
[21:19]  * bprompt didn't know hanging out with the dolphin developers make bugs more awesome
[21:19] <valorie> bprompt: lol
[21:19] <valorie> dolphin is awesome!
[21:19] <valorie> bugs not so much
[21:19] <valorie> Fritigern: sometimes there is great info in a bug report
[21:20] <bprompt> ohhh ok, misread, thought you wanted a more awesome bug, like with an avatar of a crawling ladybug, ok
[21:21] <allesz_> bprompt: lol
[21:21] <allesz_> neon colored super bug
[21:22] <valorie> I do like ladybugs
[21:22] <allesz_> valorie: could not join #dolphin it says  [Error] Cannot join #dolphin: The channel is password-protected and either a wrong or no password was given.
[21:22] <valorie> but in real life, not in my software
[21:22] <Fritigern> bugs.kde.org show exactle zero entries for ffmpegthumbnails
[21:22] <valorie> hmmm
[21:23] <valorie> alis says that they don't have a channel
[21:23] <valorie> I guess they hang out in #kde-devel then
[21:25] <bprompt> http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=dolphin  <----
[21:27] <allesz_> valorie: yup they do ;-)  thanks a lot.
[21:38] <Fritigern> So... nobody can be of any use with my ffmpegthubnailer problem?
[21:39] <bprompt> Fritigern:    I don't use it, for one
[21:39] <bprompt> Fritigern:   check the manpages :)
[21:42] <bprompt> Fritigern:    you can always view the manpages in chrome or konqueror, by typing in dolphin -> man:/WHATEVER
[21:44] <bprompt> if you use konqueror, it has a few KIOs, you can type help:/SOMEAPP to read its docs, or use the man:/SOMECOMMAND to read the manpages
[21:44] <Fritigern> As prevoiously stated, it works in a terminal, but they are not generated in dolphin
[21:44] <Fritigern> I am trying to figure out why ffmpegthumbnailer does not seem to make thumbs of my videos. I have it enabled in Settings => Configure Dolphin => General => Previews bit nothing is happening. I can call ffmpegtumbnailes from the command line, and it works there. What am I missing?
[21:45] <bprompt> Fritigern:     well, is dolphin View using preview ON?
[21:46] <bprompt> Fritigern:   the previews only work if you set the View > Preview, feature ON
[21:47] <bprompt> Detail view by default has it off, but you can set it ON, anyhow, when changing Views, their default is to have it off
[21:50] <Fritigern> It is on. I t is always on. When else would one expect there to be a preview?
[21:50] <bprompt> well.. hmmm dunno... tried other file managers? besides dolphin?
[21:51] <Fritigern> I have even gone as far as attempting to compile ffmpeg and ffmpegthumbnailers, with zero success
[21:52] <bprompt> IIRC thumbnails are stored at ~/.thumbnails folder, maybe giving it a good reset, may help, well, you don't have to reset it, just say..... rename it, do a few thumbnails to see if dolphin picks up anything
[21:52] <Fritigern> I have googled, I have consulted man pages (when available) and nothing that i tried helped
[21:53] <bprompt> hmmm I don't use it myself, as far as video thumbnails, most video players browsers, have them
[22:04] <valorie> Fritigern: did you search for bugs filed about this?
[22:05] <valorie> as I said, it's been asked here, in #kde-neon and #kde a few times, but not enough information is ever given pin it down
[22:05] <bprompt> or, have you searched for bugs in general?   specially mosquitoes and cockroaches
[22:06] <valorie> ....
[22:06] <bprompt> heheh, I don't use the app, so... for all we know, is just an app bug, not a dolphin one per se
[22:09] <valorie> could be, yes -- but bko will tell the tale
[22:13] <Fritigern> valorie: I searched for bugs first about ffmpegthumbnailer, but no bugs found. Then under Dolphin since I expect the thumbs to show inthere, but nothing. Not even under kio did i find the bug. And as for info, all I can tell you is what I have already said. The Dolphin plugin does not generate video thumbs, but running from a terminal it will generate a thumb.
[22:17] <bprompt> Fritigern:    what do you mean by "runnning from a terminal"?    as in doing -> $: dolphin <-- ?    as opposed to running it from the menu?
[22:19] <Fritigern> Running from a terminal as in ffmpegthumbnails -i"Video" -o"Thumbnail"
[22:20] <bprompt> well.. hmmm sounds  hmmm dunno... that's not exactly dolphin
[22:21] <Fritigern> No, it isn't. But I never claimed that ruinning from command line is dolphin, did i?
[22:21] <Fritigern> But Dolphin is SUPPOSED to be able to use an addon/plugin (which is installed!) and generate the thumbs itself
[22:23] <Fritigern> .. which I expect to show when i have previesws ON
[22:24] <valorie> right, that is def. a bug against the plugin, at least
[22:25] <valorie> and if nobody has filed it yet, please file it
[22:26] <bprompt> well, the idea behind the development of the plugin, is to have it work with file managers, including dolphin, now, if it doesn't work, then.. that simply means the plugin isn't ready for release
[22:28] <Fritigern> I just looked at kffmpegthumbnailer some more, altough it seems to have been built against KF5, installs certain files in /usr/lib/kde4 and /usr/share/kde4, and I don;t think that is right
[22:29] <valorie> wow
[22:30] <valorie> that def. seems off -- unless it is/was intended to make it work with Dolphin before it was ported
[22:30] <Fritigern> I wonder if i can fix this with a symlink
[22:31] <valorie> http://developer.kde.org/~cfeck/portingstatus.html says that both Dolphin and -plugins still use kde4-support or whatever
[22:31] <valorie> so the porting is not 100% complete
[22:32] <valorie> help porting is always welcome
[22:33] <Fritigern> They may say that, but the kde4 part no longer works. I had to make a symlink to some kde4 folder to get some system menus working again, especially KIM (and image converter script thing)
[22:34] <Fritigern> Or did I move the stuff? I don;t even remember, it's been months, perhaps over a year
[22:39] <valorie> please please please file a bug and give this information
[22:40] <valorie> all of KDE software is made better by users who help out by filing good bugs
[22:40] <valorie> and maybe contribute patches
