| Hailwood | Hey folks, does anyone know what the shortcut is called I need to bind so I can CTRL+Enter to bring up the window options? | 01:29 |
| Hailwood | It's the one currently bound to ALT+F3 | 01:34 |
| Hailwood | Oh, Found it. | 01:35 |

| Hailwood | Hey folks, I'm playing around with Krunner and Im wondering if I can get it to run commands in yakuake? E.g. if I type in "ls ~/Documents" as shown in the docs I'd expect to see the output, instead krunner just hides and I get no output | 03:34 |
| Hailwood | The commands are actually running though as "touch ~/.krunnertest" does create the file as I'd expect. | 03:35 |
| SporkWitch | Hailwood: it runs it in a background process, it doesn't spawn a window unless you're calling up a persistent graphical application, such as firefox, or konsole, etc. | 03:36 |
| SporkWitch | Hailwood: it's not dissimilar to the run window in windows, which exhibits basically the same behaviour: it'll execute the command and that's it. Only output you get is if the command explicitly generates a window or errors | 03:37 |
| Hailwood | SporkWitch, ah I see. That makes sense I suppose. Alrightly, next question - Any idea why the dictionary wouldn't be working? typing "define apple" for example gives me no feedback, not even a selectable option. The dictionary is enabled and has it's default trigger of "define" set | 03:39 |
| valorie | might be a backend package missing | 03:40 |
| SporkWitch | ^ | 03:45 |
| SporkWitch | there's more than a few missing packages that break core functionality; muon, for example, is not included in 16.04, which breaks Discover. Installing it via apt-get/aptitude fixes it. | 03:45 |
| valorie | SporkWitch: please file a bug for that; first i've heard about it | 03:46 |
| valorie | discover should be pulling in muon automatically | 03:46 |
| valorie | easiest way to file it is in the commandline: ubuntu-bug discover | 03:47 |
| SporkWitch | valorie: if i find the time i'll download a latest copy of the 16.04 ISO and do a fresh install in a vm to see if it hasn't been fixed. A few others, such as the driver manager getting stuck at "gathering information" have since been fixed. As far as muon not getting installed, it's been an issue since 15.10, i believe; i wasn't the one that figured it out, there's several threads on the ubuntu | 03:50 |
| SporkWitch | forums mentioning the issue and fix, hence not submitting previously | 03:50 |
| SporkWitch | (similar issues of infinite loading appear in the various "get more [themes/widgets/etc.]" options in various dialogs; they never actually load any results) | 03:51 |
| valorie | I don't read the forums | 03:52 |
| valorie | I doubt other packagers do either | 03:52 |
| SporkWitch | that'd explain why you hadn't heard of it :) | 03:52 |
| valorie | there is only so much time in the day | 03:52 |
| valorie | forums used to be useful, but that doesn't seem true anymore | 03:52 |
| SporkWitch | understandable; i only even encountered the issue because i intermittently will open discover just to browse any new games that might have been added | 03:52 |
| valorie | I try to test all the gui stuff | 03:53 |
| SporkWitch | i won't disagree there, though I do like the services that compile mailing lists into a forum format | 03:53 |
| valorie | but generally just use the cli since i'ts faster | 03:53 |
| SporkWitch | exactly | 03:53 |
| SporkWitch | the specific issue is that you can click on things in the main display, but you cannot search; no results appear, and once you try to search it pretty much goes crazy and stops accepting input in a sane manner. Installing Muon (which is missing), resolves it after reboot. This was the case in June / July. Not sure if it's been fixed; I know the issue with the Driver Manager was fixed as | 03:54 |
| SporkWitch | recently as mid-august | 03:54 |
| SporkWitch | (though come to think of it, i've no idea if that was fixed in 16.04 repos, or the backports) | 03:55 |
| valorie | I would appreciate a test and if necessary, a BR | 03:56 |
| SporkWitch | yup, just giving you what info i have, with the caveat taht i'm not sure if it's still current; i'll try to find time to test and submit if necessary | 03:56 |

| Not_a_Robot | Do you guys know if it is possible to configure Plasma tilling sections, please? | 04:38 |

| Not_a_Robot | I have a 55" UHD monitor and... I would like to divide the screen in more sections, not only four, for example | 04:40 |
| valorie | the kwin maintainer will not make it part of the mainline code for various reasons | 04:40 |
| Not_a_Robot | What do you mean? | 04:41 |
| valorie | google for kwin tiling script | 04:41 |
| valorie | you'll find some stuff | 04:41 |
| valorie | kwin is the window manager part of plasma | 04:41 |
| Not_a_Robot | valorie: is it possible to have something like this by default when you move windows around? http://uploadpie.com/fnLtz | 04:47 |
| Not_a_Robot | What do you think? | 04:59 |
| valorie | Not_a_Robot: I have no opinion, since I don't use my computer this way | 05:07 |
| Not_a_Robot | but it is possible? | 05:07 |
| Not_a_Robot | Please :D | 05:10 |

| eagleeyes | What command installs KDE on Ubuntu server? | 05:27 |
| valorie | eagleeyes: are you wanting Plasma, or an application, or what? | 05:30 |
| valorie | there hasn't been "KDE" for a long time | 05:30 |
| nokbd | eagleeyes: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will give you a full experience | 05:31 |
| valorie | nokbd: try `plasmashell & ` in krunner | 05:31 |
| valorie | without the backticks | 05:32 |
| nokbd | kwin appears to be frozen | 05:32 |
| nokbd | and i can't kill the partitioner | 05:32 |

| valorie | you know how to start krunner? | 05:33 |
| valorie | alt+space | 05:33 |
| valorie | or alt+f2 | 05:33 |
| nokbd | yes, i know krunner. alt+sysrq+r then the ctrl+alt+f1 worked | 05:35 |
| nokbd | kwin --replace isn't going to kill my other programs, is it? | 05:36 |
| valorie | no | 05:37 |
| valorie | just kwin | 05:37 |
| nokbd | everything is still frozen | 05:39 |
| Not_a_Robot | valorie: is there any mailing list I can send my question ,please? | 05:39 |
| valorie | plasma-devel if you are still talking about tiling | 05:41 |
| Not_a_Robot | yes, valorie. | 05:41 |
| eagleeyes | valorie: plasma is what I want | 05:43 |
| valorie | nokbd is right, you want to install kubuntu-desktop then | 05:43 |
| nokbd | i still have a frozen display, but VT's on the other. | 05:50 |
| nokbd | everything froze up when i was trying to disable one | 05:50 |
| nokbd | is there a way I can tell if partitionmanager is done from the CLI? | 06:22 |
| Not_a_Robot | valorie: plasma-devel@kde.org? | 06:29 |
| valorie | yes | 06:30 |
| nokbd | if partitionmanager is sitting at 0% CPU according to top, is it likely finished partitioning my disks? | 06:31 |
| nokbd | and waiting for me to click the exit? | 06:31 |
| valorie | hmm, never tried to do it from the cli | 06:33 |
| nokbd | if i was just resizing one partition, the other disk is fine, right? | 06:36 |
| valorie | of course | 06:40 |
| nokbd | i raised the elephants after hoping partitionmanager was done | 06:40 |

| ANTI--mossad | Hi | 20:22 |
| heinkel_111 | when I try to update my kubuntu 15.10 installation using sudo apt-get update I get an error message that there is no public key for the following key-IDs: | 20:40 |
| heinkel_111 | 1397BC53640DB551 | 20:40 |
| heinkel_111 | (I am translating to english, maybe a word not similar to english message) | 20:40 |
| heinkel_111 | how do I find out which source is the problem and fix it? | 20:41 |
| valorie | heinkel_111: it sounds like you might have a PPA that's gone awol or so? | 20:48 |
| valorie | also be aware that 15.10 is no longer supported | 20:49 |
| valorie | best to update and upgrade to 16.04 which is an LTS | 20:49 |
| acheronuk | google suggests that is an old problematic google-chrome signing key from google itself | 20:59 |
| valorie | thanks, acheronuk | 21:08 |
| valorie | my advice to heinkel_111 stands -- update, dist-upgrade, and then do-release-upgrade | 21:09 |

| soee | good, any problems ? | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | The 14 DVD worked (which is how I got this far) but it seems like Kubuntu boots faster than the DVD can load up | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | sounds weird but I think that's the issue | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | anyhow, I guess I'll do an upgrade over wi-fi? | 22:25 |
| soee | sure | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | should I do the sudo do-release-upgrade thing? | 22:26 |
| soee | i think discover should give you and upgrade option | 22:27 |
| soee | but yes - you can use command line | 22:27 |
| RodNICE | what would I search for in order to upgrade via Muon Discover? | 22:29 |
| soee | i think it should ask you if you want to jump to next LTS | 22:33 |
| soee | but you must have 14.0.1 | 22:33 |
| RodNICE | 14.04 | 22:33 |
| RodNICE | someone said yesterday that I should never use sudo in Kubuntu | 22:39 |

| soee | probably this was hat they said | 22:48 |
