| thialfi | Hi guys, anyone online to help me with a weird issue? | 07:05 |
| thialfi | I've just installed the plasma desktop on top of a regular ubuntu to test if I want to use it instead of that or gnome, and I really like it. I've just got one issue, maybe one of you can help me with it: Whenever I open a Menu in an application (the menu bar), there are weird blue artifacts as I move the mouse over the opened menu. Sometimes it's | 07:07 |
| thialfi | just a bit weird, sometimes it renders the menu illegible and useless. Any idea what may cause this? | 07:07 |
| thialfi | This seems to happen to qt5 applications only | 07:11 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Try "qtconfig" - see if that helps. | 07:21 |
| thialfi | that shows a qt4 config dialog, does it? | 07:22 |
| thialfi | I think I might have found the reason. my system uses nouveau for plasma. The driver settings dialog is stuck at the "collecting information about your system" loading page. Weird. I'll see if I can set the video driver to nvidia and check if that solves my issue | 07:24 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: When that hangs, you can try this in a termina: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 07:25 |
| thialfi | the nvidia-361 driver is installed already. autoinstall changes some packages, though | 07:26 |
| thialfi | dpkg returned an error code. hang on while I try to fix this | 07:27 |
| thialfi | it looks a lot like my video driver was somehow broken. I'm just reinstalling the latest version from the graphics drivers ppa. let's cross our fingers ;) I'll be back after a reboot | 07:46 |
| thialfi | this particular problem is solved with the latest driver. | 07:52 |
| soee | :) | 07:54 |
| thialfi | If I now can get the window title bar back to a reasonable size and the external montior working properly, I'm a happy man | 07:55 |
| soee | reasonable size ? | 07:55 |
| thialfi | everything around my desktop is scaled up. It looks like I'm on a 1024x768 screen | 07:56 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: The other day someone had the same issues - it was a matter of resetting the properties in the display settings for KDE/Plasma | 07:58 |
| thialfi | how would I do this? | 07:59 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Also, I was going to mention before you rebooted, did you do anything further with Plasma - like adding the "backports" PPA's? Just wondering. | 07:59 |
| thialfi | let's check. I may have tried something alike a while ago and if it stuck in my apt sources... let's see | 07:59 |
| thialfi | kubuntu-ppa-ubuntu-backports-xenial.list looks a lot like I did, right? | 08:00 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Yes. | 08:00 |
| thialfi | should I undo this? | 08:01 |
| thialfi | how stable is this backports ppa? | 08:01 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: No, no - not at all...that gives you the latest version of Plasma | 08:01 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: They're quite stable and usable. | 08:01 |
| thialfi | that was probably why I did it in the first place | 08:01 |
| thialfi | so, my screen is set to full hd, scaling is set to 1, yet the (how is the bottom left start-menu-thing called in plasma) menu reaches all the way up to the top of the screen as if it were a tiny screen. the font size in the task bar is also scaled up accordingly. many other things are, too | 08:03 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Check the "Accessibility" settings. | 08:05 |
| thialfi | evolution and gedit are fine, kate and kmail are not. | 08:06 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: You said it was an NVidia card yeah? Have you tried "apt-get install nvidia-settings" - or do you already have that control panel utility installed? | 08:06 |
| YankDownUnder | https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/display | 08:06 |
| thialfi | it is installed | 08:07 |
| thialfi | the resolution is fine | 08:07 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/high_dpi_again | 08:08 |
| thialfi | Nope. Checked that. the Scaling setting is 1 | 08:10 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Not done yet...read: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/07/multi-screen-woes-in-plasma-5-7/ | 08:11 |
| YankDownUnder | thialfi: Another thing that has been done (as of recently) was to "blow out" the configuration for the external monitor, and then recreate it. If you understand what I mean. Either which, mull over all of that...going to eat now. Cheers. | 08:14 |
| thialfi | it seems like I've just started some longer configuration marathon for myself :D thank you a lot | 08:16 |
| Mrokii | Hello. I have set both Alt-keys to activate the 3rd-level of a key (things like [,{ or ~). That works via system settings, but the problem is, when I choose that option, other combinations like "Alt-F1" for Kubuntus' Application Launcher don't work anymore. Is there a way to have both things working? 3rd-level via alt keys *and* Application Launcher and such? | 11:35 |

| plata_ | Hi. I'm having the problem that my update applet does not show updates when they are available. I have to run apt update manually, then the applet will show up. Any ideas? | 13:54 |
| soee | plata_: what Kubuntu version are you running? | 13:55 |
| plata_ | 16-04 | 13:55 |
| plata_ | sorry 16.04 | 13:55 |
| soee | plata_: do you have backports enabled ? | 13:55 |
| plata_ | uhm. need to figure out what backports is called in German. One sec | 13:57 |
| soee | plata_: backports ppa | 13:59 |
| soee | plata_: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-6-5-and-frameworks-5-23-now-in-backports-for-kubuntu-16-04/ | 13:59 |
| soee | so chekc if you have that extra ppa added | 13:59 |
| plata_ | no. don't have the ppa. I thought it was only the check in software sources as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Enabling_Backports_on_Kubuntu | 14:00 |
| plata_ | wait. it's actually in my sources.list | 14:02 |
| soee | so you have Plamsa 5.6.5 ? | 14:06 |
| soee | *Plasma | 14:06 |
| Smurphy | PNo - Plamsa :) | 14:07 |
| plata_ | no 5.5.5. Don't know why | 14:08 |
| soee | and you are sure you have backports enabled ? :D | 14:10 |
| plata_ | I can see xenial-backports when I run apt update but it doesn't seem to find the 5.6.5 | 14:10 |
| soee | kubuntu backports | 14:10 |
| soee | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 14:10 |
| plata_ | omph. I'm sorry | 14:10 |
| soee | sudo apt update | 14:10 |
| plata_ | thank you | 14:10 |
| soee | sudo apt full-upgrade | 14:11 |
| plata_ | once you do it right it works :P | 14:12 |
| soee | update packages and see if the problem is gone | 14:12 |
| soee | brb | 14:13 |
| plata_ | I will. thanks so much soee. should have really been able to figure this out myself... somehow didn't think about kde not beeing updated with the ubuntu repos | 14:14 |

| merdan | hey guys | 18:20 |
| merdan | i have a question | 18:20 |
| merdan | where i can find programs which i downloaded and installed | 18:20 |
| merdan | i have downloaded teamviewer | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | in the K menu | 18:21 |
| merdan | and installed | 18:21 |
| merdan | but i cant find | 18:21 |
| YankDownUnder | merdan: Is it possible to type everything on a single line instead of nine thousand lines with three words on them? | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | right click on the dektop , choose run command , type teamviewer | 18:22 |
| merdan | what | 18:22 |
| merdan | i dont understand | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | YankDownUnder, ??? | 18:22 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: It's entirely annoying to try to scroll back through the logs - the conversation - when three words are typed on a line - multiple times - where they could all be conjoined into a single sentence. | 18:24 |
| merdan | ok, how to download and install metasploit | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | YankDownUnder, which irc client? | 18:25 |
| YankDownUnder | Nearly any IRC client created since 1988... | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | in konversation you can right click in the text and choose "find text" a boc pops up and type the the 3 words in to search | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | abox | 18:27 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: I'm using Konversation...the point I was trying to make to "Merdan" was that he could very well type all of what he was trying to say on a single line instead of multiple lines...I do believe I'm fairly aware of how to use the applications at hand - as I've kinda used a fair whack of different clients since 1991...it wasn't a point of trying to figure out how to use Konversation...but thanks all the same for the tip. | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | oh I thought he was just trying to see if he was in a chat | 18:32 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: I believe that was the case as well...I'm just annoyed this morning - a vast amount of stupidity and "lack of thinking" across heaps of channels...my patience for younger people has already worn quite thin for the day - and it's not yet sunrise...therefore, it must mean I need more coffee. | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | insomnia will do that :-) | 18:35 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: Not insomnia, my friend - I awake very early - daily...tis my routine..."early to bed, early to rise" as it were. | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | understood , I'm usually up by 6:30AM since retirement 17 yrs ago...I'm on in yrs so i think I know how you feel about the "vast amount of stupidity" | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | YankDownUnder,^ | 18:39 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: Nearing the "age of rest" myself - fastly so - however, I shan't bow under...I shall merely change tack. I'm supposed to be "semi-retired" now, but that merely means that I do less physical work and more mental work...and as far as "collective ignorance" - aka stupidity - things have gotten vastly worse on IRC in the past few years...vastly...therefore, sometimes my patience wears thin quicly... | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | YankDownUnder, the instant gratification generation will hav e to learn about the benefits of patience sooner or later if they wish to survive, but it can't come soon enough | 18:44 |
| YankDownUnder | BluesKaj: Hehehe...yeah, don't get me started...I can rant on this topic all day...and longer... :) | 18:46 |
| yosi | Hello, I am visually impaired and looking for some screen magnification tools, I installed compizconfig and enabled screen zoom but it isnt zooming when I press those keys. Is there a channel I can join to figure out why? | 18:46 |

| BluesKaj | yosi, kmenu>computer>system settings>desktop behaviour>desktop effects>zoom | 18:51 |
| rattking | oh and kde can do that its self. checkout system settings / Desktop behaviour / desktop effects zoom and or magnifier.. | 18:51 |

| clivejo | you can have it threaded but I dont like that | 20:14 |
| Not_a_Robot | me neither clivejo, let me test please! | 20:16 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: Flat date view is what I was searching for! Thank you soooooo much, really | 20:28 |
| clivejo | no problem :) | 20:28 |
| clivejo | what version are you running? | 20:28 |
| Not_a_Robot | Latest Kubuntu so.. let me check | 20:29 |
| Not_a_Robot | KMail Version 5.1.3 | 20:29 |
| clivejo | not got backports installed then :) | 20:29 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: is that something bad or..? | 20:30 |
| clivejo | nope not bad | 20:30 |
| clivejo | Im running 5.2.3 | 20:31 |
| Not_a_Robot | Wow | 20:31 |
| Not_a_Robot | You downloaded the sources or something, clivejo? | 20:31 |
| clivejo | which is available via KDE Apps 15.04.3 which should be in backports | 20:32 |
| Not_a_Robot | btw clivejo, do you know how to check error messages? KMail says my server doesn't support LOGIN but the little popup I see with that message is not enough and I can't read the complete message. | 21:05 |
| clivejo | went you set it up you should be able to probe it | 21:06 |
| clivejo | and select a method it does support | 21:06 |
| clivejo | when | 21:07 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: I'm not sure about which method it supports. What is not working is the SMTP and I don't see where to check if it works | 21:11 |
| clivejo | what mail service is it? | 21:12 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: 1and1 | 21:12 |
| clivejo | did you use the wizard to set it up? | 21:14 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: no, manually | 21:14 |
| clivejo | have you added a receiving and a sending account? | 21:15 |
| Not_a_Robot | yes clivejo | 21:15 |
| Not_a_Robot | the problem is in the SMTP configuration I guess | 21:15 |
| clivejo | and mapped them together with an ID? | 21:15 |
| clivejo | what happens when you try to send an email? | 21:16 |
| Not_a_Robot | clivejo: The popup appears | 21:16 |
