[00:47] <momoe> **A wild momoe appears!!**
[00:48] <momoe> 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] <momoe> in Kubuntu, I'm guessing it could be a Konsole command?
[00:49] <Unit193> `rename -v 's/.zip/.cbz/g' *.zip`
[00:49] <momoe> ty @Unit193, I'll give that a try
[00:50] <Unit193> You can use more anchoring if needed.
[00:51] <momoe> anchoring? Sry I'm a little novice at the term
[02:03] <BadAtProgramming> 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] <BadAtProgramming> or do I need a repair disk
[02:30] <mrsidemudia> Are the computers of the same make ?
[02:30] <Malcolm> oh
[02:30] <Malcolm> ;p
[03:56] <ryu0> 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] <Quantos> I want to know how to disable KUbuntu from looking for or trying to use my nonexistent swap file
[05:41] <valorie> ryu0: I'm running 16.10 and it has been extremely stable
[05:45] <ryu0> valorie: i said 16.04 though
[05:46] <ryu0> err
[05:46] <ryu0> nvm
[05:49] <valorie> my travel laptop which runs 16.04 is also extremely stable, although I've not worked it as hard
[05:56] <ryu0> perhaps hardware specific glitches then...
[06:16] <konrados> Morning :)
[06:21] <konrados> 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] <konrados> *I remember there is some...
[06:22] <hateball> konrados: "last"
[06:22] <hateball> that shows session starts, not sure if you can tell from that
[06:24] <konrados> hateball, why isn't this chronological: https://gist.github.com/konrados/d677b26b26e3167bce9816ba7e9a5a25 ?
[06:25] <konrados> OK, nvm, it is :)
[06:25] <konrados> Thanks hateball :)
[06:26] <konrados> No, not nvm, where is today's day? I've just logged in...
[06:27] <konrados> And we have Tuesday today, right, hateball ? :)
[06:29] <Quantos> I want to know how to disable KUbuntu from looking for or trying to use my nonexistent swap file
[06:32] <hateball> konrados: At least I have tuesday
[06:32] <hateball> Quantos: Do you have entries for swap in /etc/fstab ?
[06:32] <konrados> So why is it missing, hateball? It starts from Monday.
[06:32] <Quantos> Umm, that I'm not sure about hateball
[06:33] <Quantos> Would I be better off just recreating a swap partition hateball?
[06:33] <Quantos> And using swappiness?
[06:39] <Quantos> hateball, I'm in the /etc/fstab what am I looking for?
[06:48] <hateball> 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] <konrados> sec...
[06:48] <hateball> 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] <hateball> Quantos: well do you have any line related to swap? Feel free to pastebin the contents
[06:50] <hateball> Quantos: I personally dont use swap at all, but some think you should have at least a small swap space
[06:51] <Quantos> Yeah, I'm just going to resize it down to 2GB and reset the swappiness
[06:51] <Quantos> The pros and cons make that a safe bet at least
[06:51] <konrados> I ran the terminal, logged in as sudo, logged out, still nothing, hateball :) Isn't there any other way?
[06:53] <hateball> konrados: well there is /var/log/auth.log
[06:53] <hateball> Quantos: you only really need it if you dont have much RAM, and it is needed if you intend to hibernate
[06:53] <Quantos> Nah, I don't hibernate and RAM is cheap
[06:56] <konrados> 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] <hateball> konrados: got any cron jobs running every minute?
[06:57] <konrados> hateball, no I have a cron running every morning (once).
[06:58] <konrados> Unless, someone in the office is making fun of me, and when I was not logged out they did something :) sec...
[07:09] <konrados> 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] <hateball> konrados: sure, depends what services you have obviously :)
[07:17] <konrados> hateball, OK, although I only have apache/mysql/php I don't remember installing anything else, except for some "usual" soft for development.
[08:29] <adrenalinos> LO everybody! :-)*  ... I'm 14.04, How (the Hell!) do I UpGrade to 16.04? (!!??! trying with software manager didn't hit!) .. ???
[08:29] <hateball> !ltsupgrade
[08:29] <hateball> adrenalinos: If you are comfortable with the commandline, open a terminal and run "sudo do-release-upgrade" and follow the prompts
[08:32] <adrenalinos> oops! trying "sudo do-release-upgrade" I get a lot of "Err" ! ... -> ?

[08:37] <jorgebueno> hi all
[08:38] <jorgebueno> I have problems detecting the second monitor. I have a Radeon HD 8570 and kubuntu 16.04 . Any idea?
[09:07] <soee> jorgebueno: it doe snot work at all ?
[09:08] <soee> do you have some propriety driver or open source ?
[09:11] <adrenalinos> "lightdm" or "sddm"? .. what the difference?
[09:11] <adrenalinos> ( as X server)
[09:12] <soee> adrenalinos: different login managers
[09:12] <hateball_> adrenalinos: use sddm with kubuntu
[09:12] <soee> http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/display_managers_finale
[09:12] <adrenalinos> sddm, ok! thanks! :)
[09:23] <adrenalinos> it's running.. .taking a while! :) ...
[10:04] <jorgebueno> soee: Not working and not appear in the screens. I have open sourse driver. I was looking for propietary drivers in order to solve the problem but no driver for 16.04 yet.
[10:05] <soee> jorgebueno: how is th external screen connected ?
[10:34] <adrenalinos> Oops!?.. I just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04... well done! :) .. BUT I get fuzzy caracters in widows! .. how do I tune that?
[10:35] <hateball> adrenalinos: A screenshot would help
[10:37] <adrenalinos> how do I paste a screenshot?
[10:37] <hateball> !screenshot | adrenalinos
[10:44] <adrenalinos> seems that unactivating "animation" solve the problem!.. for now! :)

[11:49] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[12:06] <lauro> ola
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Hey lauro
[12:08] <lauro> Hey...what's up?
[12:09] <BluesKaj> morning coffee here, and you?
[12:10] <lauro> Morning coffee at the work already.
[12:11] <BluesKaj> right
[12:15] <hateball> hmmm, I am trying out plasma-workspace-wayland on 16.04, seems to not care much for my usual keyboard configuration
[12:15] <hateball> as I am stuck with english layout instead of my desired swedish one
[12:15] <hateball> under X there is setxkbmap, but I have no idea what to use under wayland
[12:45] <BluesKaj> hateball, just installed plasma-workspace-wayland on 16.10 ,but I don't see much difference. Haven't tried it on 16.04 yet tho.
[13:30] <discovered> hi guys
[13:31] <BluesKaj> hey discovered
[13:32] <discovered> I am trying to make package of Latest Oracle JDK using make-jpkg. But it does not work.
[13:32] <discovered> This is the error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23081609/
[13:35] <BluesKaj> discovered, perhaps a java chat would be a better place to ask
[13:36] <discovered> hmm
[13:36] <discovered> going there
[13:55] <discovered> Anyone using skype on L/Ubuntu
[13:55] <discovered> ?
[14:38] <soee> discovered: yes, sometimes
[15:42] <CQ> hello, I just installed kubuntu, rebooted, and now all I get is the command prompt... any ideas??
[15:43] <CQ> ah... alt-f8 (or f7?) got me to the login...
[16:00] <chcknrub> are u using nvidia card?
[16:00] <CQ> no, just onboard video.
[16:01] <CQ> ...and the machine spontaneously reboots
[16:33] <mparillo> I have used Skype on Kubuntu, following these directions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype But not with the newer beta from Microsoft. I have read that the newer version cannot connect with the older one.
[17:05] <mgolden_> CQ: can you tell us more about the machine?
[17:19] <CQ> mgolden_: I figured it out. It's somewhere between horrible and funny ;)
[17:21] <CQ> 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] <CQ> That's almost worth a blog post... cost me an afternoon to figure that out.
[17:22] <CQ> and yes, I have an electrical engineering degree ;)
[17:32] <Dr_Coke> How do I change my single click on desktop and in my file manager to double click
[17:35] <mgolden_> CQ: Wow.
[17:37] <mgolden_> Dr_Coke: Look in system settings, it's under Input Devices > Mouse
[17:38] <mixxit> hi
[17:38] <mixxit> i have a few questions as a new kubuntu user
[17:38] <Dr_Coke> Yeah thanks
[17:38] <Dr_Coke> I found it
[17:39] <mgolden_> mixxit: shoot
[17:39] <mixxit> ok first up is firefox when i drag a tab out it doesnt do anything
[17:40] <mixxit> i see the shadow appear as if its going to drag out but it doesnt
[17:40] <mgolden_> It creates a new window for me if I drop it out of th browser.
[17:41] <mgolden_> You on 16.04 or 14.04?
[17:41] <mixxit> im on xenial
[17:41] <mixxit> 14.06.1
[17:41] <mixxit> 16.04.1
[17:41] <mixxit> firefox 48.0
[17:42] <mgolden_> I don't have it in front of me.
[17:42] <mgolden_> I believe you can drag tabs around in 16.04.1
[17:43] <mixxit> if i drag the tab out and drop it onto itself it will pop out
[17:43] <mixxit> but when i drag to a blank area of the desktop it doenst
[17:45] <mgolden_> I can't check 16.04 right now.  At work I have 14.04
[17:47] <mixxit> ok well i will look more into that one
[17:47] <mixxit> my next problem is my laptops fn keys dont work
[17:48] <mixxit> my audio ones do but my screen brightness dont
[17:49] <mgolden_> That depends on the particular machine
[17:50] <mgolden_> You can use the control in the system tray
[17:50] <mixxit> its a gp62 6qf msi
[17:50] <mgolden_> I suspect you could set it up if you figure out the codes being sent
[17:50] <mgolden_> I have never done it
[17:50] <mixxit> ok
[17:51] <mixxit> also my windows key i expected to open the K menu
[17:51] <mixxit> but it doesnt, any idea how i can get that doing that?
[17:51] <mgolden_> Look in system settings, shortcuts and gestures
[17:52] <mparillo> 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] <mgolden_> In 14.04 there's a setting for Global Keyboard Shortcuts, and there's an action for Activate Application Launcher Menu Widget
[17:56] <mixxit> 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] <mgolden_> it's in Plasma Desktop Shell
[17:56] <mixxit> key*
[17:57] <mgolden_> You hit Windows (AKA Meta) then type a letter
[17:57] <mgolden_> Meta is a modifier
[17:57] <mixxit> damn
[17:58] <mgolden_> It looks like the right windows key isn't a meta
[17:58] <mparillo> I set mine to <alt>F1, which is pretty common in KDE land.
[17:59] <mparillo> https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=39073
[18:00] <mparillo> https://launchpad.net/~mehanik/+archive/ubuntu/ksuperkey
[18:01] <mixxit> oh cool
[18:02] <mparillo> But be careful. Upstream does not like ksuperkey, so if you experience any strangeness, you are on your own.
[18:02] <mixxit> who is upstream
[18:03] <mparillo> KDE Devel
[18:03] <mixxit> oh the next version
[18:03] <mixxit> yep that fixed it
[18:04] <mixxit> ok so apparently the firefox bug is fixed in the next version of plasma
[18:04] <mixxit> in 5.6
[18:05] <mixxit> can i get that on my current version of kubuntu?
[18:06] <mixxit> oh grabbing the backport now
[18:11] <mixxit> brb
[18:11] <mixxit> i messed with mouse sensitivity and nowit wont reset back
[18:11] <mixxit> gonna try a restart
[18:17] <CQ> mgolden_: still here?
[18:19] <mixxit> ok so that didnt fix firefox
[18:20] <mixxit> also power setting screen brightness slider doesnt work
[18:21] <Dr_Coke> I installed the latest nvidia drivers and my desktop has massive fonts
[18:21] <Dr_Coke> how do i fix that
[18:21] <mrsidemudia_> what os
[18:24] <mgolden_> Coming and going
[18:24] <mgolden_> I had some problems with Firefox font sizes with the nVidia driver
[18:24] <mgolden_> There's a setting in FF that fixes it
[18:25] <mgolden_> You can fix the desktop fonts in system settings
[18:25] <mgolden_> but FF still had some issues.
[18:25] <mgolden_> If you google it you'll find the discussion
[18:26] <mgolden_> mixxit: You need to hit the apply button, it doesn't slide real time
[18:26] <mixxit> i did
[18:26] <mixxit> i dragged it too high and it wouldnt go back down after applying
[18:26] <mixxit> i hit default then apply and still the same
[18:26] <mixxit> so i rebooted and it was ok
[18:29] <mixxit> oh sorry mgolden_, i though you were referring to my issue with mouse slider
[18:29] <mixxit> apply does nothing with screen brightness
[18:31] <CQ> 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] <mixxit> there is nothing in my /sys/class/backlight folder
[18:33] <mgolden_> I am currently on 14.04, so I can't check
[18:34] <mgolden_> It works for me IIRC on 16.04 too
[18:34] <mixxit> im going to try this grub boot flag of acpi_backlight=vebdor
[18:34] <mgolden_> But check that you're in the right power profile
[18:35] <mixxit> brb gonnatry restart
[19:54] <alphazulu> 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

[21:41] <Doyle> Hey. what is it that's causing wlan interfaces to be renamed wlxtd98d9d9s90sdjunk
[21:41] <Doyle> ?
[21:42] <genii> Doyle: http://askubuntu.com/questions/689070/network-interface-name-changes-after-update-to-15-10-udev-changes
[21:42] <Doyle> wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 etc wasn't predictable or stable enough?
[21:43] <genii> Doyle: Not stable enough in the same way names like sda sdb and so on aren't, whereas UUID is
[21:45] <Doyle> thanks genii
[21:47] <Unit193> Doyle: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2015-May/038761.html
[21:51] <Doyle> That explains it. Thanks!
[21:53] <Unit193> 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] <Doyle> I won't bother. It was just annoying me having to lookup the interface name on single interface machines rather than typing wlan0
