[07:11] <konrados> Morning!
[07:20] <konrados> Last 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?
[08:42] <yotka> Anybody 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.
[08:45] <yossarianuk> when you say its 'detected' what do you mean ?  i.e can you see it in display configuration and see it enabled in there ?
[08:50] <yossarianuk> ps - 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 5.6.5
[08:51] <yossarianuk> Which 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 schedule
[08:52] <yossarianuk> although it should be backported...
[09:04] <yotka> hi 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] <yotka> I might try the plasma ppa. I'm also running kernel 4.7 because I was hoping that would fix some problems (wireless and others).
[09:11] <yossarianuk> what GPU do you have ?
[09:11] <yotka> GPU?
[09:12] <yotka> Ah, it's a standard intel graphics adaptor that ships wtih the T460s
[09:14] <Fleminng> Hey there!
[09:15] <yossarianuk> yotka: there is an updated intel driver here -> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-update-tool-linux-os-v2.0.2
[09:15] <yossarianuk> however that may involve using the standard ubuntu 16.04 kernel..
[09:16] <yossarianuk> but basic things like dual screen should work on the default driver
[09:16] <yotka> yossarianuk: I just installed Plasma from the PPA. I will restart and see if that changes anything. I'll be back. Thanks!
[09:16] <yossarianuk> cool - hope it does - its better than version shipped in 16.04 anyway
[09:29] <yotka> yossarianuk: It seems that it didn't change anything regarding the monitor problem
[09:32] <yossarianuk> yotka: oh well at least you'll have a few other improvements..
[09:32] <yossarianuk> have you tried change resolution/refresh rate , etc
[09:32] <yossarianuk> on the non working monitor
[09:36] <yossarianuk> yotka: have you tried running the default kernel and seeig if the same thing occurs?
[09:39] <yotka> yossarianuk: I set the refresh rate to automatic, resolution I tried varoius. The problem also appeared before, with the default kernel
[09:43] <yotka> On 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-me
[09:44] <yossarianuk> try disabling, then re-enabling ?
[09:45] <yotka> Yeah, i did that a lot. ;)
[09:58] <yotka> yossarianuk: 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.
[09:59] <yotka> And after some time graphics seem to go crazy, I then have to unplug the monitor
[09:59] <yotka> Maybe it's the cable..
[10:02] <konrados> Hi again.
[10:03] <Vorap> Hello :)
[10:05] <konrados> I 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 btw
[10:06] <yotka> yossarianuk: I'm trying the intel driver update now, reboot
[10:23] <yotka> yossarianuk: Still no luck. I think I'll check the cable before trying anything else.
[11:33] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:39] <user|14243> hello, 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 meani
[13:39] <user|14243> ng of this infromation.
[13:43] <BluesKaj> user|14243, do you have a ppa for google-browser in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or some such ?
[13:49] <user|14243> no but i just saw, that in the window list, the title "qapt batch installer" is provided. i'm just starteld
[13:49] <user|14243> ...
[13:49] <user|14243> that kubuntu asks to install a programm without providing information and i'm not sure if i should install it.
[13:51] <user|14243> in the list, there is just docker and hsoft-ubuntu-ppa-xenial
[13:53] <BluesKaj> user|14243, think you should check your sources.list to make sure you have the correct OS version deb lines there
[13:54] <user|14243> ok. 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 universe
[13:54] <user|14243> # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
[13:54] <user|14243> # newer versions of the distribution.
[13:54] <user|14243> deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
[13:54] <user|14243> # deb-src http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
[13:54] <BluesKaj> if you have docker installed then that's an entirely different matter
[15:04] <anabain> Hi, 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?
[15:34] <cocohead781> How do people create screenshots on KDE? I have a assignment where I have to make a screenshot.
[15:35] <BluesKaj-pi> cocohead781, the prntscn key
[15:35] <BluesKaj-pi> beside f12
[15:35] <cocohead781> Thanks, that worked.
[15:36] <BluesKaj-pi> it works with most DEs
[18:18] <cocohead781> For whatever reason, the whole "Online Accounts" section dissappered. Anyone got any ideas on how to get it back?

[22:03] <mparillo> I used to rely on unetbootin, but maybe about a year ago, it started letting me down. So, I have switched to dd and have not destroyed my disk yet.
