[00:04] lethu: I just upgraded to 16.04 and added an atheros dual band card [00:05] veronica__: have you tried booting with the "noacpi", "nolapic" or "acpi=off" kernel option? [00:05] no [00:05] how to? [00:06] veronica__: you will have to edit your grub2 config file [00:06] brb [00:06] ...ok [00:07] veronica__: back [00:08] veronica__: open a terminal then "namo /etc/default/grub" [00:08] nano* [00:08] sorry [00:08] veronica__: sudo nano [00:10] ok [00:10] done [00:11] what do i edit? [00:12] veronica__: sorry wrong file [00:12] ok === Guest21818 is now known as AciD` [00:13] veronica__: sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:14] ok in [00:17] veronica__: go to the first "menuentry" [00:17] feature_menuentry? [00:17] veronica__: then add on the "linux" line acpi=off [00:18] veronica__: nope, just "menuentry [00:18] " [00:18] veronica__: it should say menuentry 'ubuntu' [00:20] what does this do? [00:20] dont I need acpi? [00:21] could this effect suspend? [00:21] veronica__: sometimes the built in acpi causes problems similar to yours [00:21] ok, rebooting now [00:22] veronica__: ok [01:21] hi [01:22] help me please [01:22] user|45007: what's your problem? [01:23] 看不懂。。 [01:30] has any1 tried neon on kubuntu 16.04? [01:36] abhishek: that isn't really advised or supported [01:36] but some have tried it for sure [01:36] especially in VMs [01:39] 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. [01:43] IMO it will not be available in backports, ever [01:44] perhaps in 16.10 if the Ubuntu devels let us upgrade Qt enough [01:44] these days, that is out of our hands [01:44] * valorie is already running 16.10 for daily use [01:45] but still plasma 5.6.3 here [02:17] 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] to *have the qt === nickgeoca is now known as linman [02:59] 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? [03:13] does ktorrent's search plugin also use the proxy? [03:14] abh [03:14] fooey, abhishek left [05:51] morning :) [06:52] hi [07:07] hello everyone! new to IRC : ) [07:08] Hello utkarsh, do you have a Kubuntu support question? [07:10] hateball: not exactly, just trying out IRC. [07:11] !ot [07:11] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [07:11] hateball: Thanks. [07:12] utkarsh: It's slow right now so no harm, it just makes it easier to follow support questions if we separate things :) === utkarsh is now known as karmapolice === karmapolice is now known as clearnote01 === hw is now known as Guest31483 === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [10:13] 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? [10:15] hi Lynoure, with backports enabled and plasma 5.6.4 installed ? === utkarsh is now known as clearnote01 [10:18] soee_: backports yes, plasma seems to be 5.5.5 [10:19] should be 5.6.4 if yo have backports enabled [10:21] 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 [10:22] 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 .... [10:23] Lynoure: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [10:23] yossarianuk: it is Ubuntu (Debain ?) policy [10:24] yes I know, but the result of that policy means that users have a lesser, more buggy experience . [10:25] well true, taht is why backports exit [10:25] soee_: what's the difference between the ppa and non-ppa backports? [10:25] I mean, why two different ones? [10:26] 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] well Neon solves this :) [10:26] Yes I know! [10:26] i'm using it at home [10:26] not at work (yet) [10:27] Lynoure: they ar enot the same imo [10:27] Kubutnu has own packports ppa [10:28] soee_: yes, I see they are different, but both being called backports is somehow just confusing to me. [10:28] well Ubuntu Backports and Kubuntu Backports :D [10:28] a bit diff [10:29] soee_: yes, clearer if people refer to them like that :) [10:50] wasnt it proposed that there'd be rolling release ubuntu, alongside LTS? that would solve much headache [11:22] hi all [11:34] morning :) [11:36] 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? [11:42] konrados: ghex and a few others I think? [11:42] thanks, I'll try it. [11:43] konrados: think your question might get a more complete answer in a chat like ##linux [11:44] hi - having one major(ish) issue ... [11:44] BluesKaj yeah, I already wanted to do this, but what acheronuk said worked :) [11:44] 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] it does if I use nmtui [11:45] acheronuk, ghex seems to be exactly what I was looking for, thanks! [11:45] 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] konrados: great :) [11:48] konrados: good to hear [11:53] any ideas why I cannot see my bridge with network-manager ?: [11:53] 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" === seamus_ is now known as Sert1991 [12:02] Hi guys [12:09] i.e - with 16.04 - you cannot add a network bridge via network-manager gui [12:09] it doesn't work unless you use nmtui [14:05] hi! [14:05] large update today? what is new? :) [14:06] is it 5.6.5 in backports? [14:08] nicols: thanks for pointing that out [14:08] yes it is [14:08] same level as neon now (not QT though) [14:08] (neon is due to have 5.7 soon though) [15:51] is there a way to use only free software in kubuntu? Disable non-free stuff? [15:56] Nani_Dragon: non-free isn't installed by default, so just don't install so called non-free packages [15:58] 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 [16:03] thanks BluesKaj [16:03] I just want to see if I can go full free [16:03] if so, why wouldint you? [16:03] just my thinking atm [16:04] non-free is still free [16:04] it's developed outside of the OS realm usually [16:05] BluesKaj: free as in price? Or free to do what I want with? [16:06] there very few apps that cost real money in linux [16:06] for home users [16:07] !non-free [16:07] !info non-free [16:07] Package non-free does not exist in xenial [16:07] hehe [16:08] there used to be an infobot for non-free [16:10] Nani_Dragon: https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ [16:11] !nonfree [16:11] 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 [16:12] so is there a way to turn off non-free sources? [16:12] just so I dont accidentally install one or something? [16:16] oif course the info author wouldm't use the hyphen even though most users use it [16:16] wouldn't [16:17] soee: my mouse problem turned out to be a hw issue, happening simulaneously in both the mice I tried. :) [17:07] my audio stopped working system wide [17:07] is there any way to restart/reboot audio without restarting the computer? [17:08] open alsamixer and make sure your automute is disabled for starters, em [17:11] i tried opening the sound thing in the panel and it crashed plasma [17:11] em: Probably something like systemctl restart alsa? [17:12] Hello I had a query. Can we use /etc/environment file to set System-wide proxy? [17:14] em open alsamixer in the terminal [17:16] BluesKaj: okay done [17:17] i don't see anything that says automute [17:18] navigate with the arrow keys to the far right and look for asutomute , use the down arrow key to disableit [17:18] automute rather [17:19] there is no automute [17:19] s/pdif s/pdif 1 and s/pdif 2 [17:19] that's it [17:21] F6 choose the soundcard withe '0" beside it [17:21] em: ^ [17:25] i found it. I disabled the auto-mute [17:27] 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 [17:29] all of that seems correct. [17:29] but no audio [17:29] next escape and do, sudo alsactl store, which should save your settings === garvitdelhi_ is now known as garvitdelhi [17:31] okay done [17:31] it was the right one because i sawit changing when I put my head phones in and out [17:32] i forgo to ask which audio chip is listed in alsamixer in the upper lreft [17:32] left [17:33] I'd take a wild stab and say some kind of Intel HDA [17:33] yeah, most likely genii :-) [17:34] the default one is: HDA Intell HDMI [17:34] but that one had no settings at all [17:35] only when it put it on F6 Soundcard #1 which is: HDA Intel PCH [17:35] does it have any options. [17:35] but that isn't the default when I open alsamixer [17:36] this is a problem ie had before and it does get fixed by turning the computer off and back on again [17:36] I just though maybe I can learn some way to do it so i don't have to turn off the computer [17:36] 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 [17:38] in the settings where it lets me test speaker placement i heard sound [17:38] but i don't hear sound in chrome [17:41] just to be sure run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, if the driver loads properly there won't be any output from that command [17:42] you also might need to reboot === uXuss is now known as uXus [18:22] oops, my desktop froze ...had to do a hard reboot [18:29] BluesKaj: Yeah i did a hard reboot also [18:29] sound came back [18:29] it's just weird [18:55] 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 === username_ is now known as Suspense_ === andrei_ is now known as zergutzu === uXuss is now known as uXus === paolo_ is now known as faLUCE === fewcha_ is now known as fewcha [20:21] hi [20:24] 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? [20:36] !drivers === fewcha_ is now known as fewcha [21:20] 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? [21:21] ok I just noticed it is more than youtube. but on google it is normal. [21:24] that's very strange [21:24] Which browser? [21:24] sounds like a browser issue though? [21:24] firefox [21:26] 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 [21:27] when it resets to the standard white firefox it is fine [21:28] Oh, it's gtk breeze-dark [21:28] Weird that it doesn't have a white reset stylesheet for the browser. [21:30] Zren: so were to change that do you know? [21:30] application style > gtk [21:30] Though that'll change the color of all gtk windows. [21:30] iunno how to do a firefox only rule [21:31] Zren: GTK2 and 3? [21:31] those? [21:32] lols yea changing those fixed it [21:32] nice ty :D [21:33] but they come with the OS right? someone should patch that if they do. ;) === jason7 is now known as Guest4616
