konradosMorning!07:11
konradosLast time I uninstalled php 5.6, I had to do this, so I could install it from a different repo. It also uninstalled phpMyAdmin and I don't know what else. I understand why - since phpMyAdmin depends on PHP, then system thought I don't need phpMyAdmin no more. But in my case, it wasn't true. Can we somehow tell the system to not do this?07:20
yotkaAnybody around who could help me with a problem connecting an external monitor to my Thinkpad 460s running Kubuntu 16.04? It's connected through HDMI and is detected, too. But I can't manage to get anything displayed.08:42
yossarianukwhen you say its 'detected' what do you mean ?  i.e can you see it in display configuration and see it enabled in there ?08:45
yossarianukps - the plasma version shipped has lots of bugs with dual display, many are fixed in 5.6/5.7  - you could try the PPA to get 5.6.508:50
yossarianukWhich hammers home why some packages should be rolling, its a shame 16.04/16.10 is missing about of an LTS version of plasma due to the ubuntu release schedule08:51
yossarianukalthough it should be backported...08:52
yotkahi yossarianuk, thanks. With "detected" I mean that it appears in the monitor configuration and I can activate and configure it (although sometimes there is an error message that a mode doesn't exist). But then the screen stays black and my notebook screen does crazy things.09:04
yotkaI might try the plasma ppa. I'm also running kernel 4.7 because I was hoping that would fix some problems (wireless and others).09:04
yossarianukwhat GPU do you have ?09:11
yotkaGPU?09:11
yotkaAh, it's a standard intel graphics adaptor that ships wtih the T460s09:12
FleminngHey there!09:14
yossarianukyotka: there is an updated intel driver here -> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-update-tool-linux-os-v2.0.209:15
yossarianukhowever that may involve using the standard ubuntu 16.04 kernel..09:15
yossarianukbut basic things like dual screen should work on the default driver09:16
yotkayossarianuk: I just installed Plasma from the PPA. I will restart and see if that changes anything. I'll be back. Thanks!09:16
yossarianukcool - hope it does - its better than version shipped in 16.04 anyway09:16
yotkayossarianuk: It seems that it didn't change anything regarding the monitor problem09:29
yossarianukyotka: oh well at least you'll have a few other improvements..09:32
yossarianukhave you tried change resolution/refresh rate , etc09:32
yossarianukon the non working monitor09:32
yossarianukyotka: have you tried running the default kernel and seeig if the same thing occurs?09:36
yotkayossarianuk: I set the refresh rate to automatic, resolution I tried varoius. The problem also appeared before, with the default kernel09:39
yotkaOn the monitor there is a message that power saving mode is enabled. I'm wondering if the problem could be something like this, related to the monitor: http://ccm.net/forum/affich-192788-lg-monitor-stays-in-power-saving-mode-help-me09:43
yossarianuktry disabling, then re-enabling ?09:44
yotkaYeah, i did that a lot. ;)09:45
yotkayossarianuk: I just tried a factory reset for the monitor, but no changes. Using a VGA cable with a different notebook (Kubuntu 14.04) works fine. But on mine the monitor stays black.09:58
yotkaAnd after some time graphics seem to go crazy, I then have to unplug the monitor09:59
yotkaMaybe it's the cable..09:59
konradosHi again.10:02
VorapHello :)10:03
konradosI hope this isn't strongly off topic. I hope to find some PSI (Jabber client) here. With the newest version a new "feature" came in - it's enough to click *once* on a contact to start conversation, I want double click back, how to do this? There is no #psi channel btw10:05
yotkayossarianuk: I'm trying the intel driver update now, reboot10:06
yotkayossarianuk: Still no luck. I think I'll check the cable before trying anything else.10:23
BluesKajHiyas all11:33
user|14243hello, i get a prompt through system notifications to provide a password to install or remove packages but the prompt does not provide information about what application should be changed. how can i find out what application should be installed/removed? The details provide polkit.subject-pid: 2472 / polkit.caller-pid 2478. cant figure out the meani13:39
user|14243ng of this infromation.13:39
BluesKajuser|14243, do you have a ppa for google-browser in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or some such ?13:43
user|14243no but i just saw, that in the window list, the title "qapt batch installer" is provided. i'm just starteld13:49
user|14243...13:49
user|14243that kubuntu asks to install a programm without providing information and i'm not sure if i should install it.13:49
user|14243in the list, there is just docker and hsoft-ubuntu-ppa-xenial13:51
BluesKajuser|14243, think you should check your sources.list to make sure you have the correct OS version deb lines there13:53
user|14243ok. cant really say if they are the right ones. i'm not so deep into linux.13:54
user|14243# deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 16.04 LTS _Xenial Xerus_ - Release amd64 (20160420.1)]/ xenial main multiverse restricted universe13:54
user|14243# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to13:54
user|14243# newer versions of the distribution.13:54
user|14243deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted13:54
user|14243# deb-src http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted13:54
BluesKajif you have docker installed then that's an entirely different matter13:54
anabainHi, I'm having a hard time with kubuntu 16.04 (latest update). Dolphin hangs about 5 seconds after launching, and kwrite/kate open .txt files wrongly: no characters appear inside the window... Is there any way to solve this? Reinstalling/Reconfiguring all KDE stuff, removing dirs, whatever?15:04
