[07:07] 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] just a bit weird, sometimes it renders the menu illegible and useless. Any idea what may cause this? [07:11] This seems to happen to qt5 applications only [07:21] thialfi: Try "qtconfig" - see if that helps. [07:22] that shows a qt4 config dialog, does it? [07:24] 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 [07:25] thialfi: When that hangs, you can try this in a termina: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [07:26] the nvidia-361 driver is installed already. autoinstall changes some packages, though [07:27] dpkg returned an error code. hang on while I try to fix this [07:46] 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 [07:52] this particular problem is solved with the latest driver. [07:54] :) [07:55] 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] reasonable size ? [07:56] everything around my desktop is scaled up. It looks like I'm on a 1024x768 screen [07:58] thialfi: The other day someone had the same issues - it was a matter of resetting the properties in the display settings for KDE/Plasma [07:59] how would I do this? [07:59] 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] let's check. I may have tried something alike a while ago and if it stuck in my apt sources... let's see [08:00] kubuntu-ppa-ubuntu-backports-xenial.list looks a lot like I did, right? [08:00] thialfi: Yes. [08:01] should I undo this? [08:01] how stable is this backports ppa? [08:01] thialfi: No, no - not at all...that gives you the latest version of Plasma [08:01] thialfi: They're quite stable and usable. [08:01] that was probably why I did it in the first place [08:03] 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 [08:05] thialfi: Check the "Accessibility" settings. [08:06] evolution and gedit are fine, kate and kmail are not. [08:06] 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] https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/display [08:07] it is installed [08:07] the resolution is fine [08:08] thialfi: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/high_dpi_again [08:10] Nope. Checked that. the Scaling setting is 1 [08:11] thialfi: Not done yet...read: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/07/multi-screen-woes-in-plasma-5-7/ [08:14] 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. [08:16] it seems like I've just started some longer configuration marathon for myself :D thank you a lot [11:35] 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?

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? [13:55] plata_: what Kubuntu version are you running? [13:55] 16-04 [13:55] sorry 16.04 [13:55] plata_: do you have backports enabled ? [13:57] uhm. need to figure out what backports is called in German. One sec [13:59] plata_: backports ppa [13:59] plata_: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-6-5-and-frameworks-5-23-now-in-backports-for-kubuntu-16-04/ [13:59] so chekc if you have that extra ppa added [14:00] 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 [14:02] wait. it's actually in my sources.list [14:06] so you have Plamsa 5.6.5 ? [14:06] *Plasma [14:07] PNo - Plamsa :) [14:08] no 5.5.5.

[18:18] y [18:19] whats this [18:19] !kubuntu [18:19] Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [18:20] hey guys [18:20] i have a question [18:20] where i can find programs which i downloaded and installed [18:21] i have downloaded teamviewer [18:21] in the K menu [18:21] and installed [18:21] but i cant find [18:21] merdan: Is it possible to type everything on a single line instead of nine thousand lines with three words on them? [18:22] right click on the dektop , choose run command , type teamviewer [18:22] what [18:22] i dont understand [18:22] YankDownUnder, ??? [18:24] 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] ok, how to download and install metasploit [18:25] YankDownUnder, which irc client? [18:25] Nearly any IRC client created since 1988... [18:27] 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] abox [18:30] 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. [18:32] oh I thought he was just trying to see if he was in a chat [18:34] 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. [18:35] insomnia will do that :-) [18:35] BluesKaj: Not insomnia, my friend - I awake very early - daily...tis my routine..."early to bed, early to rise" as it were. [18:39] 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] YankDownUnder,^ [18:42] 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... [18:44] 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 [18:46] BluesKaj: Hehehe...yeah, don't get me started...I can rant on this topic all day...and longer... :) [18:46] 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? [18:49] I know there is a kde magnifier called kmag maybe you will have better luck with that, as compiz is a whole new desktop compositor [18:51] yosi, kmenu>computer>system settings>desktop behaviour>desktop effects>zoom [18:51] oh and kde can do that its self. checkout system settings / Desktop behaviour / desktop effects zoom and or magnifier.. [18:51] yeah that [18:51] http://i.imgur.com/4t2rKuv.png [18:52] BluesKaj: ok lemme try :) === i- is now known as clone === clone is now known as i- [18:54] when it says 'meta' which key is that? [18:54] function or windows [18:54] yosi: Bear in mind that there is also #compiz => if you wish "compiz" advice... [18:54] ah [18:54] Im also in there [18:55] OMGGG [18:55] that works perfectly [18:55] yosi, sorry i just know it's there, never had occasion to use it [18:55] I aslso installed xzoom but that was not very user friendly [18:56] the meta + meta - works awesome thank you all [19:12] hello, recently i postet a question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/788924/update-message-in-kubuntu-16-04 . the problem is not completely solved yet (how to switch to plasma-discover-updater?) [19:34] Does anyone here uses KMail, please? [19:56] exit [20:08] Not_a_Robot: I use kmail as part of the PIM suite [20:11] clivejo: hi, thank you. Do you know how to filter the Inbox like always? I want to have the newest message on top and the oldest at the bottom, without any group, just messages. Do you know how to do that? [20:13] View>Message List>Sorting By Time/Date and also check the Most recent on top [20:14] and View>Message List>Aggregiation Activity by Date, Flat [20:14] you can have it threaded but I dont like that [20:16] me neither clivejo, let me test please! [20:28] clivejo: Flat date view is what I was searching for! Thank you soooooo much, really [20:28] no problem :) [20:28] what version are you running? [20:29] Latest Kubuntu so.. let me check [20:29] KMail Version 5.1.3 [20:29] not got backports installed then :) [20:30] clivejo: is that something bad or..? [20:30] nope not bad [20:31] Im running 5.2.3 [20:31] Wow [20:31] You downloaded the sources or something, clivejo? [20:32] which is available via KDE Apps 15.04.3 which should be in backports [21:05] 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. [21:06] went you set it up you should be able to probe it [21:06] and select a method it does support [21:07] when [21:11] 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 [21:12] what mail service is it? [21:12] clivejo: 1and1 [21:14] did you use the wizard to set it up? [21:14] clivejo: no, manually [21:15] have you added a receiving and a sending account? [21:15] yes clivejo [21:15] the problem is in the SMTP configuration I guess [21:15] and mapped them together with an ID? [21:16] what happens when you try to send an email? [21:16] clivejo: The popup appears [21:16] and I can't read the whole message.. [21:19] Hello. Anybody is here?

[21:29] can i update my system? or it is necessary to download the system from official site? [21:29] you should be able to update, but have you an internet connection to do so?
