[00:12] <mparillo> Yes, your bug report said that. I was just saying that with my old laptop, it does work, so I am guessing it is some kind of HW issue.
[00:15] <KOLANICH> The bios doesn't boots the usb drives it doesn't recognize as bootable. And I cannot replace the bios by newer one because there is no newer official one and no coreboot for my chipset.
[00:16] <mparillo> Just out of curiousity (I am not helping, this is beyond me), how old is your laptop?
[00:17] <KOLANICH> it's not laptop. The date in bios is 2004, the PC was assembled in 2006
[00:18] <KOLANICH> Works pretty fine except the issues like this and unavailability of RAM more than 8 Gib
[00:22] <mparillo> Ahh, my T61 probably dates from 2007 or so, as it has Lenovo on it instead of IBM.
 Maybe the motherboard does not support more than 8 gigs.

[09:29] <firc263e8cf> Hi there. I tried plugging in a second monitor into my laptop and all hell broke loose. When I tried to log into KDE now all I get is a black screen with the mouse cursor stuck at the very top line. How do I complete reset my display settings?
[09:30] <firc263e8cf> I've tried deleting .cache, .kde, .config and .Xauthority and also dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to no avail.
[09:31] <firc263e8cf> I reinstall xserver-xorg but still cannot get the desktop back.
[09:33] <hateball> firc263e8cf: is this a clean install of 16.04 ?
[09:33] <firc263e8cf> Yes
[09:33] <firc263e8cf> I think so at least..
[09:34] <hateball> firc263e8cf: I suggest you add/upgrade to kubuntu ppa then, fixes much multimonitor woes
[09:34] <hateball> firc263e8cf: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[09:35] <firc263e8cf> Back in the day I'd just delete /etc/Xorg.conf and get on with my life, but I don't know how to do this now.
[09:35] <hateball> firc263e8cf: also, monitor settings are saved under ~/.local/share/kscreen
[09:35] <hateball> firc263e8cf: you'll have a file for each display. just wipe them and reboot, to have kscreen regenerate them
[09:35] <firc263e8cf> hateball: Thanks, that's useful to know because I couldn't get the second monitor to work at all. I'm trying to salvage my primary display now!
[09:35] <firc263e8cf> Ok thanks let me try that.
[09:38] <firc263e8cf> hateball: I deleted the entire folder and did service lightdm restart but nothing seems to have changed.
[09:39] <firc263e8cf> hateball: nevermind, thanks a lot, I got it to work; I also had to delete .config and .cache and I can now log in again.
[09:42] <firc263e8cf> I will try out the PPA as well but I'm rather annoyed at the moment and reconsidering changing my setup.
[09:44] <hateball> firc263e8cf: well I dont have any (major) issues using the PPA
[09:44] <hateball> whereas multimonitor on stock 16.04 is just... no
[11:31] <hackerone> Does plasma have a cpu frequency scaler?
[12:09] <ubuntu__> What is the proper command for locking the cpu at a lower frequency?
[12:10] <ubuntu__> The widgets look like junk they don't work.
[12:10] <ubuntu__> cpufreq-info shows a higher freq than what was set with cpufreq-set
[12:36] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[12:47] <user|57237> hi everybody
[14:06] <michael_> Hi. I'd like to change the font in Konsole. Permantently. It always switches back to the tiny default - either at closing and reopening a instance, or if that doesnt happen, after reboot.
[14:07] <michael_> How can permantently set the size?
[14:11] <hateball> michael_: edit your konsole profile
[14:42] <bmxmarine> whats happening
[17:03] <Krzemo> hej
[17:05] <soee> hiho Krzemo
[17:06] <_thelion_> Hello. I've un issue with telepathy: i can't set up Bonjour ... (Kubuntu 16.04)
[17:06] <_thelion_> Kopete is able to set up Bonjour ...
[17:07] <_thelion_> Is this a bug (telepathy)?
[17:08] <soee> _thelion_: hi, kde-telepathy is unmaintained for a long time already
[17:08] <soee> so even known bugs are not work on
[17:08] <_thelion_> okay - so it's better to use kopete?
[17:08] <soee> hard to say for me, i don't use any of them
[17:11] <_thelion_> soee: Thanks ...
 Then which is the messaging kdr app?
[17:37] <soee> i think there is none atm. that is actively developed
[17:37] <debono> ets5
[18:29] <pedahzur> Howdy! For Kubuntu Backports, is there any chance you could build kmix5?  I kind of miss having a volume control. :)
[18:32] <soee> volume control ?
[18:38] <craiger> will plasma 5.8 make it into backports for kubuntu 16.04?     (I'm stuck on 14.04 kde4, and hoping to make the leap to a stable kde)
[18:39] <pedahzur> soee:  kmix for KDE 5 hasn't been packaged for Kubuntu 16.05, and kmix 4 won't install due to missing deps.
[18:41] <soee> because there is plasma-pa
[18:41] <soee> craiger: yes, but no eta for it
[18:41]  * craiger nods at soee 
[18:42] <craiger> lrcsomeBot:  that's incorrect.  that gives you 5.6.5
[18:44] <acheronuk> 5.8 is not in backports, but once 5.8 makes it into the 17.04 development release, backporting it is the goal
[18:45] <craiger> so smart money would be 5.8 in 14.04 backports next april
[18:46] <acheronuk> 14.04 will not get it
[18:47] <acheronuk> aim is to for 16.04 LTS
[18:47] <craiger> sorry, meant 16.04
[18:47] <craiger> thanks!
[18:47] <acheronuk> craiger: I would hope looooong before April!
[18:48] <craiger> you and me both.. i'm stuck on 14.04 (kde4) until there's a stable kde5
[18:49] <craiger> is kde/plasma 5.6.5 perceived as stable?  i need this workstation for work, and I've tracked every kde since 1996
[18:50] <acheronuk> 5.6.5 was quite good while I was using it. there are mixed opinions though, depending on hardware/graphics-card number or displays etc
[18:51] <craiger> but no crashing back to lightdm right?
[18:51] <craiger> i'm running it now, in a VM, just to see, so far so good....    the kde that shipped with 16.04 wasn't so good.
[18:52] <acheronuk> sddm for preference with that, but you can have lightdm if you wish. I did not get crashes like that on an intel based laptop and Nvidia graphics card PC
[18:52] <craiger> with proprietary nvidia driver?
[18:52] <acheronuk> can make no guarantees though, as plasma 5 is still a WIP
[18:52] <craiger> sure
[18:53] <acheronuk> craiger: yes, I use the proprietary. nouveau is too buggy/slow still for my card
[18:54] <craiger> ok, so i stand a good chance with my nvidia workstation
[18:54] <craiger> i'll give kubuntu 16.04 a try, upgrade to plasma5.6.5
[18:54] <pedahzur> soee: So, silly question. I installed plasma-pa, but there is not binary (e.g. /usr/bin/<something>) like there was with kmix. How do I get it into my task bar?
[18:57] <soee> it should show up in systray
[18:58] <pedahzur> soee: It didn't...do I need to log out and log back in?
[18:59] <soee> probably
[19:07] <pedahzur> soee: OK, logged out, logged back in. So, volume control is in the sys tray. But when I have an application active (like Skype) it still doesn't give me the option to direct certain output to certain devices, nor does it allow me to select the recording device for, say, Skype Input. Wow...major functionality regression.
[19:09] <soee> pedahzur: this functionality landed in Plasma 5.7 that is not yet available in Kubuntu
[19:09] <pedahzur> So, apparently have to use pavucontrol for now....sigh.
[19:09] <soee> :)
[19:10] <pedahzur> Wonder why the plasma-pa doesn't have a menu option for opening that... :)
[19:10] <craiger> personally, i prefer pavucontrol
[19:10] <pedahzur> craiger: Yeah, it's nicer...but it doesn't have a systray icon. :)
[19:10] <craiger> lol - agreed
[19:11] <soee> well plasma-pa have all i need in Plasma 5.8 http://i.imgur.com/qkRsmq3.jpg :)
[19:12] <soee> well this: http://i.imgur.com/lDzsgGI.jpg
 wow soee. super wide ;)
[19:14] <soee> well can't imagine using smaller screen :)
[21:56] <john_s> euhm, I connected a HDMI display and then selected "Unify Displays" and at that point it quickly got to the point that I had no image anymore on whatever screen and I had to remove .local to get any image back.
[21:56] <john_s> I wonder what actual setting to delete to get a normal screen back.
[21:57] <john_s> instead of losing my entire .local
[22:05] <rattking> john_s: .local/share/kscreen
[22:06] <john_s> thanks, this time (randomly?) the HDMI became the secondary screen.
[22:22] <john_s> oh my god, xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary --mode 1440x900 --output HDMI-1 --same-as DVI-I-1 --mode 1360x768 --scale-from 1440x900, it's just not very sharp
[22:23] <john_s> xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary --mode 1440x900 --output HDMI-1 --same-as DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1080 --scale-from 1440x900 slightly better but still weirdly scaled of course... how to do this....
[22:29] <chris__> hello
