[00:47] **A wild momoe appears!!** [00:48] Question time: I have a bunch of .zip files I'd like to rename to .cbz can anyone suggest an solution to this? [00:49] in Kubuntu, I'm guessing it could be a Konsole command? [00:49] `rename -v 's/.zip/.cbz/g' *.zip` [00:49] ty @Unit193, I'll give that a try [00:50] You can use more anchoring if needed. [00:51] anchoring? Sry I'm a little novice at the term [02:03] Is it possible to take an hd of a laptop with kubuntu on it and pop it into another different laptop and expect it work? [02:03] or do I need a repair disk [02:30] Are the computers of the same make ? === mrsidemudia is now known as Malcolm [02:30] oh [02:30] ;p === alexandru is now known as Guest98310 [03:56] anyone know if kubuntu's kde5 packages have finally stabilized? it seems as if i get mysterious segmentation faults in some packages while i was trying it out recently. [04:41] I want to know how to disable KUbuntu from looking for or trying to use my nonexistent swap file === jhunold is now known as jayhunold === lethu_ is now known as lethu [05:41] ryu0: I'm running 16.10 and it has been extremely stable [05:45] valorie: i said 16.04 though [05:46] err [05:46] nvm [05:49] my travel laptop which runs 16.04 is also extremely stable, although I've not worked it as hard [05:56] perhaps hardware specific glitches then... [06:16] Morning :) [06:21] When I came to work, I saw my PC is ON, I usually hibernate it, how can I check easily, whether I did it or not? Or remember there is some log file which can tell me this, but I can't recall its name. [06:21] *I remember there is some... [06:22] konrados: "last" [06:22] that shows session starts, not sure if you can tell from that [06:24] hateball, why isn't this chronological: https://gist.github.com/konrados/d677b26b26e3167bce9816ba7e9a5a25 ? [06:25] OK, nvm, it is :) [06:25] Thanks hateball :) [06:26] No, not nvm, where is today's day? I've just logged in... [06:27] And we have Tuesday today, right, hateball ? :) [06:29] I want to know how to disable KUbuntu from looking for or trying to use my nonexistent swap file [06:32] konrados: At least I have tuesday [06:32] Quantos: Do you have entries for swap in /etc/fstab ? [06:32] So why is it missing, hateball? It starts from Monday. [06:32] Umm, that I'm not sure about hateball [06:33] Would I be better off just recreating a swap partition hateball? [06:33] And using swappiness? [06:39] hateball, I'm in the /etc/fstab what am I looking for? [06:48] konrados: well you probably havent made any new sessions today? open a terminal and run bash, or switch to a tty and log in, that should make a new one [06:48] sec... [06:48] konrados: and since you have sessions since thursday still logged in, that seems like the machine hasnt been shut down at least. but I also dont use suspend so I dunno how it adds itself [06:49] Quantos: well do you have any line related to swap? Feel free to pastebin the contents [06:50] Quantos: I personally dont use swap at all, but some think you should have at least a small swap space [06:51] Yeah, I'm just going to resize it down to 2GB and reset the swappiness [06:51] The pros and cons make that a safe bet at least [06:51] I ran the terminal, logged in as sudo, logged out, still nothing, hateball :) Isn't there any other way? [06:53] konrados: well there is /var/log/auth.log [06:53] Quantos: you only really need it if you dont have much RAM, and it is needed if you intend to hibernate [06:53] Nah, I don't hibernate and RAM is cheap [06:56] hateball, is this normal: https://gist.github.com/konrados/b67f6b391002b94dd7ee72038f6ca238 logging in/out every n minutes. I didn't do that, really... something's wroing here imho... [06:57] konrados: got any cron jobs running every minute? [06:57] hateball, no I have a cron running every morning (once). [06:58] Unless, someone in the office is making fun of me, and when I was not logged out they did something :) sec... [07:09] hateball, this is my cron.daily dir, I had no idea I have so many of them, is this normal: https://gist.github.com/konrados/4dc982af6fa0aac087af4ed438d6f01a ? [07:15] konrados: sure, depends what services you have obviously :) [07:17] hateball, OK, although I only have apache/mysql/php I don't remember installing anything else, except for some "usual" soft for development. === maxim is now known as maxim__ [08:29] LO everybody! :-)* ...

I have read that the newer version cannot connect with the older one. [17:05] CQ: can you tell us more about the machine? [17:19] mgolden_: I figured it out. It's somewhere between horrible and funny ;) [17:21] I have a Mobo with 6 SATA connections, and had cables on all of them. When I had my old HDD attached, the termination was apparently enough. When I just had the SSD attached, the reboots happened, so probably the termination wasn't enough. I unplugged all unused SATA cables, and voila, it boots. [17:21] That's almost worth a blog post... cost me an afternoon to figure that out. [17:22] and yes, I have an electrical engineering degree ;) === aektzis is now known as jimarvan [17:32] How do I change my single click on desktop and in my file manager to double click [17:35] CQ: Wow. [17:37] Dr_Coke: Look in system settings, it's under Input Devices > Mouse [17:38] hi [17:38] i have a few questions as a new kubuntu user [17:38] Yeah thanks [17:38] I found it [17:39] mixxit: shoot [17:39] ok first up is firefox when i drag a tab out it doesnt do anything [17:40] i see the shadow appear as if its going to drag out but it doesnt [17:40] It creates a new window for me if I drop it out of th browser. [17:41] You on 16.04 or 14.04? [17:41] im on xenial [17:41] 14.06.1 [17:41] 16.04.1 [17:41] firefox 48.0 [17:42] I don't have it in front of me. [17:42] I believe you can drag tabs around in 16.04.1 [17:43] if i drag the tab out and drop it onto itself it will pop out [17:43] but when i drag to a blank area of the desktop it doenst [17:45] I can't check 16.04 right now. At work I have 14.04 [17:47] ok well i will look more into that one [17:47] my next problem is my laptops fn keys dont work [17:48] my audio ones do but my screen brightness dont [17:49] That depends on the particular machine [17:50] You can use the control in the system tray [17:50] its a gp62 6qf msi [17:50] I suspect you could set it up if you figure out the codes being sent [17:50] I have never done it [17:50] ok [17:51] also my windows key i expected to open the K menu [17:51] but it doesnt, any idea how i can get that doing that? [17:51] Look in system settings, shortcuts and gestures [17:52] I think the official KDE answer under X-windows is you cannot; only as part of a key chord. But, if you do not mind losing upstream support, you can try ksuperkey [17:55] In 14.04 there's a setting for Global Keyboard Shortcuts, and there's an action for Activate Application Launcher Menu Widget [17:56] yeah im there now but when i select windows button it shows as the 'meta' hey but resets when i release the windows key [17:56] it's in Plasma Desktop Shell [17:56] key* [17:57] You hit Windows (AKA Meta) then type a letter [17:57] Meta is a modifier [17:57] damn [17:58] It looks like the right windows key isn't a meta [17:58] I set mine to F1, which is pretty common in KDE land. [17:59] https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=39073 [18:00] https://launchpad.net/~mehanik/+archive/ubuntu/ksuperkey [18:01] oh cool [18:02] But be careful. Upstream does not like ksuperkey, so if you experience any strangeness, you are on your own. [18:02] who is upstream [18:03] KDE Devel [18:03] oh the next version [18:03] yep that fixed it [18:04] ok so apparently the firefox bug is fixed in the next version of plasma [18:04] in 5.6 [18:05] can i get that on my current version of kubuntu? [18:06] oh grabbing the backport now [18:11] brb [18:11] i messed with mouse sensitivity and nowit wont reset back [18:11] gonna try a restart [18:17] mgolden_: still here? [18:19] ok so that didnt fix firefox [18:20] also power setting screen brightness slider doesnt work [18:21] I installed the latest nvidia drivers and my desktop has massive fonts [18:21] how do i fix that [18:21] what os === mrsidemudia_ is now known as Malolm [18:24] Coming and going [18:24] I had some problems with Firefox font sizes with the nVidia driver [18:24] There's a setting in FF that fixes it [18:25] You can fix the desktop fonts in system settings [18:25] but FF still had some issues. [18:25] If you google it you'll find the discussion [18:26] mixxit: You need to hit the apply button, it doesn't slide real time [18:26] i did [18:26] i dragged it too high and it wouldnt go back down after applying [18:26] i hit default then apply and still the same [18:26] so i rebooted and it was ok [18:29] oh sorry mgolden_, i though you were referring to my issue with mouse slider [18:29] apply does nothing with screen brightness [18:31] mgolden_: the problem is actually not that, but worse... if I plug in one or two SSDs I get the failure. If I also plug in a HDD (just power, not data) then it works. So it's something with the power supply loading. [18:31] there is nothing in my /sys/class/backlight folder [18:33] I am currently on 14.04, so I can't check [18:34] It works for me IIRC on 16.04 too [18:34] im going to try this grub boot flag of acpi_backlight=vebdor [18:34] But check that you're in the right power profile [18:35] brb gonnatry restart === robfrawley is now known as Guest74371 === ghostcube__ is now known as ghostcube [19:54] can someone please tell me how to disable search through my files when i search in the application launcher? i only want to search through apps and systems settings items [19:55] i have seen the Plasma Search control module and disabled everything in there but it has no effect [20:51] Ma che chat è questa [20:51] è la prima volta che entro === keithzg_ is now known as keithzg [21:01] can someone please tell me how to disable search through my files when i search in the application launcher? i only want to search through apps and systems settings items [21:01] i have seen the Plasma Search control module and disabled everything in there but it has no effect [21:41] Hey. what is it that's causing wlan interfaces to be renamed wlxtd98d9d9s90sdjunk [21:41] ? [21:42] Doyle: http://askubuntu.com/questions/689070/network-interface-name-changes-after-update-to-15-10-udev-changes [21:42] wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 etc wasn't predictable or stable enough? [21:43] Doyle: Not stable enough in the same way names like sda sdb and so on aren't, whereas UUID is [21:45] thanks genii [21:47] Doyle: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2015-May/038761.html [21:51] That explains it. Thanks! [21:53] tl;dr, read /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz for the best results, I recommend the symlink or creating the file yourself (best option) [21:58] I won't bother. It was just annoying me having to lookup the interface name on single interface machines rather than typing wlan0
