| lethu | veronica__: it should say menuentry 'ubuntu' | 00:18 |
| veronica__ | what does this do? | 00:20 |

| abhishek | has any1 tried neon on kubuntu 16.04? | 01:30 |
| valorie | abhishek: that isn't really advised or supported | 01:36 |
| valorie | but some have tried it for sure | 01:36 |
| valorie | especially in VMs | 01:36 |
| abhishek | valorie, I am using kubuntu 16.04, there are a lot of bug fixes in kde plasma 5.7 which I would like to use. But the not sure when it will be available via backports given the Qt version difference. | 01:39 |
| valorie | IMO it will not be available in backports, ever | 01:43 |
| valorie | perhaps in 16.10 if the Ubuntu devels let us upgrade Qt enough | 01:44 |
| valorie | these days, that is out of our hands | 01:44 |
| * valorie is already running 16.10 for daily use | 01:44 | |
| valorie | but still plasma 5.6.3 here | 01:45 |
| abhishek | valorie, I am a bit new. Is it necessary for ubuntu and kubuntu to same qt version? Why are you doubtful that ubuntu won't upgrade qt? | 02:17 |
| abhishek | to *have the qt | 02:17 |
| === nickgeoca is now known as linman | ||
| mariano_ | I upgraded to plasma 5.6.4 and I get randome freezes. My desktop just freezes. Is there a way to downgrade without having to reinstall the whole system? | 02:59 |

| viewer|48950 | hi | 06:52 |
| utkarsh | hello everyone! new to IRC : ) | 07:07 |
| hateball | Hello utkarsh, do you have a Kubuntu support question? | 07:08 |
| utkarsh | hateball: not exactly, just trying out IRC. | 07:10 |
| hateball | !ot | 07:11 |
| ubottu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 07:11 |
| utkarsh | hateball: Thanks. | 07:11 |
| hateball | utkarsh: It's slow right now so no harm, it just makes it easier to follow support questions if we separate things :) | 07:12 |

| Lynoure | Ever since 16.4. I have had occasionally (several times an hour) problems such as clicks affecting the window below the one that looks to have the focus, and random dragging/double clicking. Ideas? | 10:13 |
| soee_ | hi Lynoure, with backports enabled and plasma 5.6.4 installed ? | 10:15 |
| === utkarsh is now known as clearnote01 | ||
| Lynoure | soee_: backports yes, plasma seems to be 5.5.5 | 10:18 |
| soee_ | should be 5.6.4 if yo have backports enabled | 10:19 |
| Lynoure | soee_: just did apt-get update, which gave Hit:7 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease and apt-cache show for plasma-desktop still shows 5.5.5 | 10:21 |
| yossarianuk | I never understood the policy of freezing the version of plasma in kubuntu, it means running a desktop with known bugs in, in the name of stability .... | 10:22 |
| soee_ | Lynoure: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 10:23 |
| soee_ | yossarianuk: it is Ubuntu (Debain ?) policy | 10:23 |
| yossarianuk | yes I know, but the result of that policy means that users have a lesser, more buggy experience . | 10:24 |
| soee_ | well true, taht is why backports exit | 10:25 |
| Lynoure | soee_: what's the difference between the ppa and non-ppa backports? | 10:25 |
| Lynoure | I mean, why two different ones? | 10:25 |
| yossarianuk | soee: I know, just think its a bad policy for the user..... Some packages should be rolling - i.e desktop, nvidia-drivers, browsers | 10:26 |
| soee_ | well Neon solves this :) | 10:26 |
| yossarianuk | Yes I know! | 10:26 |
| yossarianuk | i'm using it at home | 10:26 |
| yossarianuk | not at work (yet) | 10:26 |
| soee_ | Lynoure: they ar enot the same imo | 10:27 |
| soee_ | Kubutnu has own packports ppa | 10:27 |
| Lynoure | soee_: yes, I see they are different, but both being called backports is somehow just confusing to me. | 10:28 |
| soee_ | well Ubuntu Backports and Kubuntu Backports :D | 10:28 |
| soee_ | a bit diff | 10:28 |
| Lynoure | soee_: yes, clearer if people refer to them like that :) | 10:29 |
| hateball | wasnt it proposed that there'd be rolling release ubuntu, alongside LTS? that would solve much headache | 10:50 |
| BluesKaj | hi all | 11:22 |
| konrados | morning :) | 11:34 |
| konrados | Is there a gui or console app, which, like bvi, will allow me to open files, showing the hex codes of bytes in the same time (along with "normal" text) but, when I select "normal" characters, it will highlight the hex equivalents and vice-versa? | 11:36 |
| acheronuk | konrados: ghex and a few others I think? | 11:42 |
| konrados | thanks, I'll try it. | 11:42 |
| BluesKaj | konrados: think your question might get a more complete answer in a chat like ##linux | 11:43 |
| yossarianuk | hi - having one major(ish) issue ... | 11:44 |
| konrados | BluesKaj yeah, I already wanted to do this, but what acheronuk said worked :) | 11:44 |
| yossarianuk | When I add a bridge interface using the network manager gui - it doesn't appear in the network-manager as a list of connections | 11:44 |
| yossarianuk | it does if I use nmtui | 11:44 |
| konrados | acheronuk, ghex seems to be exactly what I was looking for, thanks! | 11:45 |
| yossarianuk | I am using 16.04+ppa - however before I added the PPA network-manager was completely broken - i.e yo couldn't edit any network-manager connection | 11:45 |
| acheronuk | konrados: great :) | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | konrados: good to hear | 11:48 |
| yossarianuk | any ideas why I cannot see my bridge with network-manager ?: | 11:53 |
| clearnote01 | Hello I had query. If I put proxy in /etc/environment in Kubuntu, does Firefox use that proxy when in user pref i select "Use system proxy" | 11:53 |
| === seamus_ is now known as Sert1991 | ||
| Sert1991 | Hi guys | 12:02 |
| yossarianuk | i.e - with 16.04 - you cannot add a network bridge via network-manager gui | 12:09 |
| yossarianuk | it doesn't work unless you use nmtui | 12:09 |
| nicols | hi! | 14:05 |
| nicols | large update today? what is new? :) | 14:05 |
| nicols | is it 5.6.5 in backports? | 14:06 |
| yossarianuk | nicols: thanks for pointing that out | 14:08 |
| yossarianuk | yes it is | 14:08 |
| yossarianuk | same level as neon now (not QT though) | 14:08 |
| yossarianuk | (neon is due to have 5.7 soon though) | 14:08 |
| Nani_Dragon | is there a way to use only free software in kubuntu? Disable non-free stuff? | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | Nani_Dragon: non-free isn't installed by default, so just don't install so called non-free packages | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | personally I don't see the problem with non-free apps if they work, but the purist path isn't for everyone that's for sure | 15:58 |
| Nani_Dragon | thanks BluesKaj | 16:03 |
| Nani_Dragon | I just want to see if I can go full free | 16:03 |
| Nani_Dragon | if so, why wouldint you? | 16:03 |
| Nani_Dragon | just my thinking atm | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | non-free is still free | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | it's developed outside of the OS realm usually | 16:04 |
| Nani_Dragon | BluesKaj: free as in price? Or free to do what I want with? | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | there very few apps that cost real money in linux | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | for home users | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | !non-free | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | !info non-free | 16:07 |
| ubottu | Package non-free does not exist in xenial | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | hehe | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | there used to be an infobot for non-free | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | Nani_Dragon: https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ | 16:10 |
| acheronuk | !nonfree | 16:11 |
| ubottu | When we use the term 'non-free', we mean that it is not Free (as in freedom) Software. Software that is not Free cannot be fixed or improved by anyone except its authors -- who are not us :(. For more information, see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html | 16:11 |
| Nani_Dragon | so is there a way to turn off non-free sources? | 16:12 |
| Nani_Dragon | just so I dont accidentally install one or something? | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | oif course the info author wouldm't use the hyphen even though most users use it | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | wouldn't | 16:16 |
| Lynoure | soee: my mouse problem turned out to be a hw issue, happening simulaneously in both the mice I tried. :) | 16:17 |
| em | my audio stopped working system wide | 17:07 |
| em | is there any way to restart/reboot audio without restarting the computer? | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | open alsamixer and make sure your automute is disabled for starters, em | 17:08 |
| em | i tried opening the sound thing in the panel and it crashed plasma | 17:11 |
| beowuff | em: Probably something like systemctl restart alsa? | 17:11 |
| utkarsh | Hello I had a query. Can we use /etc/environment file to set System-wide proxy? | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | em open alsamixer in the terminal | 17:14 |
| em | BluesKaj: okay done | 17:16 |
| em | i don't see anything that says automute | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | navigate with the arrow keys to the far right and look for asutomute , use the down arrow key to disableit | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | automute rather | 17:18 |
| em | there is no automute | 17:19 |
| em | s/pdif s/pdif 1 and s/pdif 2 | 17:19 |
| em | that's it | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | F6 choose the soundcard withe '0" beside it | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | em: ^ | 17:21 |
| em | i found it. I disabled the auto-mute | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | ok now make sure the master and relevant ctls for your setup are maxed out for volume with no MM, if any are muted use the M key to disable mute | 17:27 |
| em | all of that seems correct. | 17:29 |
| em | but no audio | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | next escape and do, sudo alsactl store, which should save your settings | 17:29 |
| === garvitdelhi_ is now known as garvitdelhi | ||
| em | okay done | 17:31 |
| em | it was the right one because i sawit changing when I put my head phones in and out | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | i forgo to ask which audio chip is listed in alsamixer in the upper lreft | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | left | 17:32 |
| genii | I'd take a wild stab and say some kind of Intel HDA | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, most likely genii :-) | 17:33 |
| em | the default one is: HDA Intell HDMI | 17:34 |
| em | but that one had no settings at all | 17:34 |
| em | only when it put it on F6 Soundcard #1 which is: HDA Intel PCH | 17:35 |
| em | does it have any options. | 17:35 |
| em | but that isn't the default when I open alsamixer | 17:35 |
| em | this is a problem ie had before and it does get fixed by turning the computer off and back on again | 17:36 |
| em | I just though maybe I can learn some way to do it so i don't have to turn off the computer | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , that damn setting has become default for some reason, but you can change it in system settings.multimedia>device preferences and then in the harware tab | 17:36 |
| em | in the settings where it lets me test speaker placement i heard sound | 17:38 |
| em | but i don't hear sound in chrome | 17:38 |
| BluesKaj | just to be sure run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, if the driver loads properly there won't be any output from that command | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | you also might need to reboot | 17:42 |
| === uXuss is now known as uXus | ||
| BluesKaj | oops, my desktop froze ...had to do a hard reboot | 18:22 |
| em | BluesKaj: Yeah i did a hard reboot also | 18:29 |
| em | sound came back | 18:29 |
| em | it's just weird | 18:29 |
| BluesKaj | em: there's a bug with intel hda drivers not loading after updates/upgrades, it's been around for a over a yr , but it doesn't seem to be important to the devs | 18:55 |

| nsaw81 | Is there a possibility in an UHD (4K) resolution to scale all applications that the fonts and icons are readable? I've tried to setup the dpi vom 96 to 150. This helped a lot, but some applications (for example java applications) does not change its apperance? | 20:24 |

| plusEV | hey, i have a good theme going on my Kubuntu 16.04, but there is one one problem. When I type into the youtube serarchfield my font is so faded and grey I can bearly see it. Crazy thing is that when I type in any other search field like in google for example the font is normal black and easy to read. Does anyone know why this happens , and how I can fix it? | 21:20 |
| plusEV | ok I just noticed it is more than youtube. but on google it is normal. | 21:21 |
| valorie | that's very strange | 21:24 |
| Zren | Which browser? | 21:24 |
| valorie | sounds like a browser issue though? | 21:24 |
| plusEV | firefox | 21:24 |
| plusEV | yea I have tried messing around with the themes in the OS and sometimes it resets my firefox to plain white standard theme thing. but now i have a look of my theme within the browser and it is messed up again | 21:26 |
| plusEV | when it resets to the standard white firefox it is fine | 21:27 |
| Zren | Oh, it's gtk breeze-dark | 21:28 |
| Zren | Weird that it doesn't have a white reset stylesheet for the browser. | 21:28 |
| plusEV | Zren: so were to change that do you know? | 21:30 |
| Zren | application style > gtk | 21:30 |
| Zren | Though that'll change the color of all gtk windows. | 21:30 |
| Zren | iunno how to do a firefox only rule | 21:30 |
| plusEV | Zren: GTK2 and 3? | 21:31 |
| plusEV | those? | 21:31 |
| plusEV | lols yea changing those fixed it | 21:32 |
| plusEV | nice ty :D | 21:32 |
| plusEV | but they come with the OS right? someone should patch that if they do. ;) | 21:33 |
