FritigernSo I have FINALLY found someting that works. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolphin/+bug/1505014/comments/21 suggested making a symlink and I now have video thumbnails.00:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1505014 in dolphin (Ubuntu) "dolphin doesn't load video thumbnail services" [Medium,Confirmed]00:22
janchotest00:32
FritigernFailed00:32
valorieFritigern: if the bug isn't reported on bugs.kde.org, it is unclear that devels will see it01:01
valorieotoh, if you point that out to devels (#kubuntu-devel) perhaps they can make the symlink happen in the packaging01:02
valorienow is the time to do that, well before release01:02
valoriemultimedia devels are added to the CC list, but not Kubuntu devels01:03
FritigernFound someting on the kde bugtracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35191301:04
ubottuKDE bug 351913 in thumbnail "since version 15.08 some file types previews no longer available (pdf for instance)" [Major,Resolved: fixed]01:04
valorieoh good01:04
valorieso it just hasn't hit yet01:05
valoriegood to hear01:05
valoriethanks for doing that research, Fritigern01:05
FritigernNo. It was marked as fixed, but it obviously is not01:05
FritigernSee comment #22 and further01:06
valoriefixed in master doesn't mean fix-released-in-kubuntu01:06
FritigernIt would appear that the bug was marked as fixed last year, around September. It's safe to assume that after (almost) a year, the fix would have hit the Kubuntu repos. Or at least in proposed, which I have enabled too.01:13
FritigernOMG valorie. Do you remember me coming in here MONTHS ago, asking about font previews not working in Dolphin? Well, it had never worked, not even after installing the backports PPA which should have pulled in the fix for the fonts not previewing.03:20
FritigernWell, making those symlinks also got THAT working!03:21
* Fritigern oes a little dance03:21
abhishekhi guys!03:25
abhishekI am using kde 5.6.4 and kubuntu 16.04.03:25
abhishekQuestion: On right-clicking on an icon in the icon-manager I can see the recent open documents(http://imgur.com/rciPHTG). But when I have launched the application, right-clicking gives me options like this(http://imgur.com/erv4t5V). How can use recent documents after launching an application?03:25
abhishekAny suggestions?03:26
FritigernI'm sorry, I am afraid that I won;t be of much use, but did you look in the File menu of the application yet? File => Recent Documents...03:30
FritigernCould also be called "Open recent..." as in the case of Kate03:31

xrfanghow to block certain package in the standard library? e.g. I installed the lazarus-1.6 package downloaded from the official site, and it lacks some dependencies. when I do apt-get install -f , the system try to override my lazarus with the repo's version. I don't want that.05:42
hateballxrfang: apt-mark hold05:43
dellhemHey. My PC can't set the correct time, or date. Isn't there an NTP daemon installed by default?05:46
xrfanghateball: hold what? you mean, hold my own installed (but broken) package, right?05:48
hateballxrfang: yes, whatever package it is you want to keep from upgrading05:48
xrfangok... but I am also wondering, the official deb package is version 1.6, while the one in the repo is also 1.6, WHY apt think the repo's version is newer?05:49
dellhemHey! My PC won't wake from suspend when my Logitech Unifying Receiver is connected. Could someone with one try to suspend and wake?06:01

Arcaire_Hiya, is there any reason the 16.04 Kubuntu installer transcends the definition of "broken"?08:31
Arcaire_Instead of a cool boot to installer, I boot to a segfault.08:31
Arcaire_Plasma and krunner both segfault almost instantly. I don't really think my hardware is that obscure.08:32

BluesKajHi hegemon812:07
hegemon8Blue, maybe You'd know...12:07
hegemon8I've just successfully converted a guy to Kubuntu from his win 7, and all grand till he didn't have to connect his Three 3g usb dongle to connect to net (irish mobile net provider)12:08
hegemon8and i've added it in net manager, but nothing...12:09
hegemon8used to it all worked when used it myself years from now12:09
BluesKajhegemon8:  what's the actual chip in the dongle, lspci | grep -i net12:13
hegemon8will tell You after reboot i've just did (sry, just a sec :) )12:14
hegemon8at least it boots fast now. (packard Bell Easy Note TE laptop)12:15
hegemon8shows only ethernet and wifi12:17

hegemon8will do, just wii upgrade first, flash was blocking apt with its 'unfinished business" updating12:26
hegemon8thanks for that Blue. Btw, it didn't appear on the list of networks, now i see three ireland. but its all when booting with dongle plugged in12:27
hegemon8will try after update and reboot to attach it after boot to see if that has anything to do with it12:28
hegemon8i was surprised, cause it worked fine for friends in previous releases, as well as for me long time from now.12:29
hegemon8was googling, but guys had different issues like pin popups etc, and other posts were like from before electricity era ;)12:30

AnonymesHi16:01
Nani_Dragonhello Anonymes16:24
AnonymesHello16:25
AnonymesWho have 16.04 kubuntu ?16:25
geniiAnonymes: It's better if you just ask your actual question regarding 16.0416:26
AnonymesOkey, sombody after install Kubuntu 16.04 LTS have problem with update ? I talking about problem with translations packages.16:29
Nani_Dragonwhat do you mean, Anonymes? The package is actually not installing, or you cant locate it?16:32
AnonymesPackage can't update because when I want do this i see error about temporary translation from "pl.archive.ubuntu.com".16:38
AnonymesAnd what I should do ?16:53
marco-parilloAnonymes: I assume you are in Poland?16:59
AnonymesYes17:00
marco-parilloPerhaps there is a temporary problem with the Polish Archive. If you can change your sources to point to another near-by country that could help identify the problem?17:02
marco-parilloYou could copy /etc/apt/sources.list for safekeeping and edit it. Or try https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/17:04

varaindemianwithout addin a ppa?17:58
acheronukvaraindemian: not in the near future, AFAIK. Most people are finding the ppa backports to be quite stable.18:01
soul_Dragnslcr: IT WORKS!!! :DD THANKS!!18:03
soul_soee: thank you too :)18:03
varaindemianacheronuk: so I get stuck with the same plasma version for 6 moths or something?18:04
soeeon LTS without backports even till teh LTS eol and you switch to next version18:05
benz0Hey folks, I'm having trouble with getting rid of openjdk. I'd like to remove it entirely but there are unmet dependencies and I haven't been able to figure out how to resolve them.18:07
varaindemiansoee: ok bakc to arch18:07
benz0I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction, the forums haven't been helpful18:07
marco-parillovaraindemian: With Backports, your Plasma version will get upgraded. However, Kubuntu shares Qt with all the other *buntus, so it is possible it may not get upgraded past the end of the 5.6 series.18:12
marco-parilloI am not certain the Qt question has been settled one way or the other.18:13
varaindemianmarco-parillo: can i backport that too?18:15
varaindemianmarco-parillo: I am not sure I understand how .buntu actually works.18:16
varaindemianSome packages get updates and some get updates only if you add the ppa's?18:16
marco-parilloGenerally Backports are  PPAs (think like the AUR, not part of the main repos), and the Kubuntu team uses them to upgrade large pieces of KDE software that might be difficult to do in the main archive. Here is a recent example: http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=95018:18
marco-parilloThey are not generally used on a package-by-package basis. Ususally for an entire release of KDE software, like Plasma, and maybe Frameworks or Applications.18:19
marco-parilloSo, most normal users do not backport software, they install the backports PPA, and then upgrade normally.18:23
acheronukkubuntu LTS is even used by some businesses/institutions for their desktop deployment, so tracking of major desktop version upgrades in the main archive with that hassle and risk is not desirable18:24
acheronukbackports and stable update ppas allow updates for those that want them18:26
benz0if anyone is willing/able to help out with a goofy issue getting rid of icedtea I'd really appreciate the help18:28
plusEVhi, i have messed up my bottom panel and can not configure it. It is jsut a black empty bar. How can I access the setting of this bar without being able to click on it?18:28

=== too_much_buggy_b is now known as pavlushka
acheronukplusEV: cannot right click to get panel menu?18:33
varaindemianacheronuk: from my understanding, De is part of the core system and its  stability it is crucial therefore it won't get updates as often as other packages that are not part of the core18:34
varaindemianright?18:34
acheronukbenz0: that may be hard to do via IRC, but what is the problem?18:35
plusEVacheronuk: nope18:35
benz0@acheronuk: it's basically broken apt-get upgrade. I get this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:18:36
benz0 icedtea-7-plugin : Depends: icedtea-netx (= 1.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) but it is not installed18:36
benz0E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.18:36
benz0but using -f results in this: Errors were encountered while processing:18:36
benz0 /var/cache/apt/archives/icedtea-netx_1.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb18:36
benz0E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)18:36
acheronukplusEV: and no change if logging out/in again or restarting plasma?18:36
plusEVacheronuk: I put some network and resource monitor widget by my clock and rebooted. That messed it up18:36
plusEVacheronuk: I have rebooted but how do I restart plasma?18:37
acheronukrebooting would restart plasma anyway, so probably not going to help18:37
plusEVright18:38
acheronukplusEV: you could reset plasma if you haven't got a highly customised desktop you don't want to lose18:38
acheronukor you could try to edit the plasma config files to remove the faulty containment/panel18:39
plusEVacheronuk: I would like to try the second option first. Were is teh file to edit? :)18:40
acheronukfor plasma 5, in ~/.config/18:41
acheronukplasmashellrc and/or plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc I think18:42
acheronuksadly they ten not to be formatted in a very friendly/clear way, so can be hard to work out which is the part that needs removing18:43
plusEVacheronuk: a f... it. how do I reset to default?18:44
plusEVmy system seems to have more issues here. want to fix that panel so I can keep working on other stuff18:45
SmurphyWhat a crap.18:48
SmurphyJust upgraded my 15.10 to 16.04 - actually - that crap updated has upgraded my system to yakety 16.10.18:48
SmurphyAnd that my work system.18:48
SmurphyMy /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has: Prompt=lts set....18:49
acheronukplusEV: backing up and removing any plasma rc file in that directory, then logging out and in again should do it if I recall. default config will be regenerated18:50
SmurphyHmmm. Will have to re-install. Craptacular shit. Hate it when that happens.18:52
daxwhat command did you run to upgrade?18:54
geniiProbably d-r-u -d18:55
daxthat was my assumption, yes.18:55
genii( if it went to 16.10 )18:55
daxdo-release-upgrade really needs more prompting18:56
dax"You picked -d at the command-line. If you're not planning on going from XX.YY to ZZ.AA, you should stop pasting random commands off the internet and not use the -d option."18:56
plusEVacheronuk: yea that worked. back to basics.19:04
plusEVty19:04
Smurphydo-release-upgrade19:09
SmurphyOnly there were dependency issues and some of the commands crashed.19:09
SmurphyIt asked me if I wanted to report the problem, I said no and to continue and ignore that issue in future.19:10
SmurphyI'd fix it after manually (What In usually do).19:10
SmurphyWhat was the tool to create a boot-stick ? USB boot creator ?19:11
Smurphystartup disk creatore :D19:12
SmurphyI'll use the uefi boot this time.19:15
geniiNo special tools should be required anymore, they are hybrid images which can be raw copied to a USB stick19:22
