ZenMhi sry to bother... but whats teh recommended way to obtain plasma 5.8.1 on Kubuntu 16.04?00:18
ZenMNo one =,(01:06
valoriepeople keep asking, but unless ubuntu bumps the qt version up on the LTS, we can't provide the newest Plasma01:21
valorieso contact the ubuntu devels01:22
Hoffmanhow do I upgrade to yakkity?02:09
FreeFoghi im looking to test Plasma 5.8 , how should I isntall it?02:15
valorieHoffman: what are you running now?02:18
valoriefree02:19
valorieoops, FreeFog -- you can't in Kubuntu -- yet02:19
valoriesoon02:19
valorieif you want to in neon, see neon.org02:19
Arcairehttps://neon.kde.org/02:20
valorieooops, thanks Arcaire02:20
Arcaire^^02:20
FreeFogMulti monitor support =,(02:21
valoriewe're getting to it as quickly as wel can, FreeFog02:24
valoriethe new archive isn't open yet02:24
valoriewe're hoping for -updates for 16.1002:25
valorieand possibly backports for 16.0402:25
FreeFogso when it comes i will have to erase my 16.04 install?02:25
FreeFogah02:25
valorieif they bump qt versions up for the LTS02:25
FreeFogwhat are the inherit problems of using backports in 16.0402:26
valorieno, either we'll be able to do it, or we won't02:26
FreeFogcoz the main reason to switch to 16.10 is new plasma right?02:26
valorieI dunno, lots of updates02:26
valoriesome value stability over cool new stuff02:26
FreeFogdo u think 16.10 will be more stable than 16.04?02:26
valoriesome the opposite02:26
FreeFogI go for stability02:27
valorieI've been running 16.10 since the archive opened02:27
FreeFogwhats ur oppinion between 04 and 10?02:27
valorieI love the bleeding edge02:28
valorieand can't wait for the latest....well, actually I test and wait02:28
valorieimo you should install a nice 16.10 VM and do some testing for us02:28
valorieand then if you can, a 16.04 VM and do some testing too02:29
valorieonce we have stuff to test02:29

user|43518Hi I have problem with time04:56
bigbrovarHi guys. I am wondering if the latest release of plasma is available for kubuntu 16.0407:39
soee_bigbrovar: hi, no not yet07:44
bigbrovarok I think I will just install kde neon which seem to be just what the doctor recommend07:44
bigbrovarQuick question. There a way to reduce the size of things like menu and plasma network plasmoid. I find they take sizable screen space. On plasma 4 series it was possible to remove their size08:05

Not_a_RobotGuys, I need to hibernate my pc. But for that, it seems I need Swap. Creating Swap is not a problem (I don't have Swap because I just don't need it). The issue here is that I only have an SSD. Is there a way I could use Swap JUST for hibernation, please?11:03
SmurphyYes. You configure the SWAP Space >= RAM size, and configure the swappiness to happen only in case of emergency.11:50

Karl_KWallet doesn't see my Gpg key. It's very frustrating.13:49
Karl_Any ideas how to fix?13:49
Karl_I'm rapidly getting a very negative view of KDE5 :(13:51
Karl_Nothing works as it should, and all the interesting settings are difficult to find13:52
hateballFor starters, no one even knows which version you are using13:52
Karl_Something above 513:53
Karl_Default that came with Kubuntu 16.04.113:53
Karl_Fresh install13:54
Karl_Hard to get good data: --version flag does nothing in most cases13:54
SmurphyKarl_: console konsole --version13:55
Smurphy konsole --version13:55
SmurphySorry ;) second line.13:55
SmurphyKarl_: After that, add the ppa, and install latest available plasma. After that you can rant.13:56
hateballKarl_: default 16.04 isnt very stable or awesome.. I'd suggest going for 16.10 or using kubuntu ppa13:56
Karl_Ok13:56
Karl_thanks for the tips --- there may still be hope then13:56
hateball16.04 PPA:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade13:56
hateballalso "plasmashell -v" is handy for version13:57
Karl_good to know13:57
Smurphyyep :)13:57
Karl__Does anybody know why KWallet can't find my GPG key while KGpg can?14:09
Karl__It's tremendously frustrating14:09
Karl__Especially since a guy had the same problem in April and nobody got back to him on Askubuntu14:13

marco-parillokuSuSE: No, dist-upgrade on 16.04 should not offer you 16.10. THey are in different repos.17:51
MeodudlyeThe upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 is so far, and by a very large margin the worst upgrade of any kind of distro I have ever had. So many things are broken : graphic driver does not upgrade properly, switch to the fallback solution (nouveau) which is even more broken and fails to load most of the times, KDE can´ t understand accentuated characters wit17:51
Meodudlyehout some serious tweaking...17:51
kuSuSEah ok then I've been spamming dist-upgrade like an idiot17:51
kuSuSEbtw, do you know what version of kde I have?17:52
MeodudlyekuSuSE: it´ s on the help menu of all k apps17:52
kuSuSEkde framework 5.18.0 got it thanks17:53
MeodudlyeHelp-> about KDE17:53
kuSuSEwait isn't 5.18 newer than 5.8? how come pressing meta/ windows key on my keyboard not open the k menu?17:53
kuSuSEthe folks at #kde said that kde has that since 5.817:53
marco-parilloThere is KDE the community that supports KDE Plasma. You do not have Plasma 5.8, and 16.04 will not have it available through the backports until it is packaged.17:55
kuSuSEit does say plasma on my log in screen but it is probably an older version17:56
marco-parilloCan you invoke krunner (usually <alt> F2) and run kinfocenter?18:01
kuSuSEmarco-parillo: thank you kde plasma version 5.5.5 qt version 5.5.118:02
kuSuSEso indeed I don't have 5.8+18:02
marco-parilloSo if you were to upgrade to 16.10 you would have Plasma 5.7.518:02
kuSuSEahaha still not 5.8?18:02
marco-parilloNo. The development team is working on a plan. I am not qualified to explain it (but here I go). THey need to get it tested in ZZ, then they can land it in 16.10 and backport it to 16.04. You will need to enable the backports PPA for 16.04 when it lands there.18:12

IrcsomeBot<Kai Sen> @levkavelin, Hmm that solved it on my machine have the same error. Did you restart you pc after that and than open it again.18:35
marco-parilloMeodudlye: I know this is not the best answer, but my strategy is to simply install Google Chrome. Then, for sites that I trust, where I really want to see flash, I just open them in Chrome. I actually prefer that flash does not load for 99% of my web browsing.18:39
IrcsomeBot<levkavelin> @Kai Sen, I rebooted and now everything works fine. thx!18:41
Meodudlyemarco-parillo: true, that´ s probably the best solution18:47
est31after the update to 16.10 my firefox looks weird19:14
est31any ideas why that is the case?19:14
acheronukest31: Firefox 49 doesn't have complete support for GTK 3.20 theming. Firefox 50 will sort that when it's released19:28
est31awesome.19:28
est31acheronuk, in the past I could play around with GTK themes in the settings dialog, was that removed or just moved?19:29
acheronukest31: if you have kde-config-gtk-style installed it should show in the systemsettings under application style19:35

IrcsomeBot<Kai Sen> @levkavelin, Great, have fun. By the way i discover that in kubuntu 16.10 they miss to install okular for viewing PDF. It might be good with installing it with sudo apt-get install okular. Otherwise it will take all the time libre office draw to show pdf.20:02
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Kai Sen, Was left off the iso as it's kde4 dependancies messed up the iso building20:04
IrcsomeBot<Kai Sen> @acheronuk, Ok doesn't know that. It is just an bit confusing because on the homepage it is listet and shown under features :-) will it come back in?20:06
Guest4395can kubuntu do audio over bluetooth say from my phone?20:06
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Kai Sen, By default? when the okukar KDE maintainers finsih their kf5/Qt5 port, yes. they are just being slow on the progress with that20:07
IrcsomeBot<Kai Sen> Is there an alternative?20:08
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Kai Sen, okular should work if installed after you have installed the main system20:12
