[03:11] <viewer|58813> hey, I am unable dual-monitor on kubuntu 16.10. secondary monitor wont detect until a restart. then both are detected but laptop screen is black and not usable
[03:36] <Only_your_Mornin> 我是新人，多多关照

[05:39] <xet7> There is no desktop background and menus on Kubuntu 16.04 desktop, how to fix? I have terminal open.
[05:39] <xet7> konsole
[05:40] <xet7> I tried to google search but those did not work
[05:41] <valorie> xet7: seems plasmashell has crashed
[05:41] <valorie> alt+space and type plasmashell &
[05:42] <xet7> Is it possible to restart it automatically if it crashes?
[05:42] <xet7> and start at boot
[05:42] <valorie> it should do that, always
[05:43] <xet7> because rebooting has not started it, I have rebooted many times
[05:43] <valorie> xet7: do you have the backports PPA added?
[05:43] <xet7> no
[05:43] <valorie> that will upgrade your Plasma version
[05:43] <xet7> what is PPA url?
[05:44] <valorie> https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-6-5-and-frameworks-5-23-now-in-backports-for-kubuntu-16-04/
[05:44] <xet7> Ok I'll try it, thanks :)
[05:44] <valorie> the way I do it is in the commandline: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[05:45] <xet7> Ok
[06:01] <samuel> I can't get a second monitor to work in kubuntu 16.10
[06:05] <samuel> have amd r9 m290x switchable graphics.. lspci shows i have radeon hd 8650g and 8970m
[06:14] <valorie> samuel: when we get the newer Qt and newer Plasma, multiple monitors are greatly improved
[06:15] <valorie> we're having to wait on a few things though
[06:15] <valorie> like the newer Qt
[06:15] <samuel> the second monitor would work (extended) but the laptop monitor turns off
[06:19] <samuel> pluging the monitor in doesnt automatically dectect, typing xrandr activates the second monitor but turns off the laptop screen. trying to change primary monitors or disabling monitors in system settings when this happens freezes the computer, and then i have to hard reset it.
[06:19] <xet7> plasma-shell says "error: couldn't find primary output KScreen::Output(NULL)". It's running on desktop with no physical monitor attached, and used remotely with TeamViewer. I added kubuntu backports ppa and did dist-upgrade and reboot but plasma-shell and menus is not visible, it's still black background.
[06:35] <valorie> xet7: to be clear, you did update && dist-upgrade?
[06:36] <valorie> it would be useful to login as a new user, if so
[06:36] <valorie> I think you have a messed up config
[06:38] <valorie> not quite sure how to change it though
[06:38] <valorie> xet7: you might ask in #plasma
[06:40] <valorie> you could erase ~/.local/share/kscreen/* but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do
[07:09] <xet7> valorie: ok
[08:01] <agamemnon> Hi, I am trying to upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 using do-release-upgrade, is there a way I can prevent a package from being installed?
[08:40] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:09] <jubo3> y0
[11:09] <jubo3> and thanks for the Awesome series of OS
[11:10] <jubo3> how do I make certain there are zero virus on stick and that stick FS is such that it'll open on anything?
[11:10] <jubo3> I just format it to FAT32 with fdisk or wuts the deal?
[11:10] <jubo3> stick is 8GB if that matters
[12:38] <Esokra> yofel: are you aware of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368786 ? Could this be backported to 16.10?
[13:15] <mistereko> hi
[14:45] <est31> how can I make baloo wasting CPU time?
[14:45] <est31> and HDD space
[14:48] <est31> this bullshit is required on kubuntu now
[14:54] <est31> mhh lets hope the config option is working again now
[15:02] <est31> so, I've set Indexing-Enabled=false
[15:02] <est31> and exclude folders[$e]=$HOME
[15:02] <est31> and only basic indexing=true
[15:02] <est31> and still baloo_file_extractor is running on top on htop!
[15:11] <est31> mhh, seems disabling baloo via the GUI helped
[15:11] <est31> http://www.databook.bz/?page_id=3728
[15:11] <est31> but really, this is worse than on win10
[16:03] <logrjubo> how do I tell this machine to _not_ put display to sleep so that it locks?
[16:03] <logrjubo> I think I've already tried everything (powersaving settings) but it still locks the screen every friggen minute
[16:06] <logrjubo> maybe something I broke somewhere
[16:06] <logrjubo> I grabbed the old dot-dirs .. uhh some of them..
[16:06] <logrjubo> I'll prlly just reinstall clean at some point in time
[16:06] <logrjubo> but it'd be really nice to know why the screen locks even if I've unticked the boxes in energy savings
[16:13] <logrjubo> Yeah.. that was it.. Thanks Kai Sen
[16:59] <ShayBox> anyone know if theres a KDE 5 module for a terminal?
[18:52] <lg510> Hi, i need some help with the Plasma Desktop on Kubuntu. I don't know howto find the right pakage-name to delete a file. (Kubuntu 16.04)

[19:10] <hobbybike> ciao a tutti
[20:36] <MazingerZERO> Hello! Since updating to 16.10 Ark cannot open RAR archives for some reason. I got rar, unrar and unrar-free installed, can anyone help me figure this out?
[20:41] <MazingerZERO> It just says "no suitable plugin found", but the 3 programs work fine from command line. (Mostly it bothers me because it interferes with Krusader)
[20:42] <MazingerZERO> I had to reinstall my system from scratch so maybe I am missing some obscure package for Ark to work with rar files?
[21:02] <hazamonzo> MazingerZERO: Its not a solution for ARK but 7zip is pretty good. I think its available for linux
[21:02] <hazamonzo> Just throwing it out there
[21:04] <MazingerZERO> Yeah I am using that meanwhile.
[21:04] <MazingerZERO> But Ark not working also interferes with Krusader's operation, that's why I'd like to repair it as well.
[21:07] <MazingerZERO> Oh. Seems the mimetype is wrong.
[21:08] <MazingerZERO> xdg-mime query filetype <rar file> reports "application/vnd.rar" instead of "application/x-rar". Maybe that's why Ark is breaking?
 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368786
[21:09] <MazingerZERO> Huh. Yeah it is.
[21:10] <MazingerZERO> I'll go edit the mime info for now, better than nothing!
[21:15] <MazingerZERO> Alright. It's working again.
[21:16] <MazingerZERO> Thanks to whoever opened that bug report. Somehow the freenode irc client makes it appear out of nowhere, so not sure who to thank here.
[21:17] <valorie> MazingerZERO: acheronuk is on Telegram, which is bridged to this chan
[21:17] <MazingerZERO> Oh. Then thanks,  acheronuk!
[21:17] <valorie> and ubottu opens the BRs
[21:17] <MazingerZERO> (and you too for pointing that out. Didn't know such a bridge was doable.)
[21:17] <valorie> it's pretty cool
[21:18] <valorie> I like keeping up with IRC when I'm out and about
[21:18] <valorie> irc on my phone is not good
[21:18] <MazingerZERO> I'm a bit of an old dog. IRC is still my platform of choice. The only thing I miss on it is the modern "ensure messages get by even if your connection is unstable" newer protocols like Skype or Discord have.
[21:20] <valorie> oh for that I use a BNC
[21:21] <valorie> and I agree that irc is the ne plus ultra
[21:21] <MazingerZERO> BNC?
[21:21] <valorie> but Telegram makes it even more useful
[21:21] <valorie> "bouncer"
[21:22] <valorie> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZNC
[21:22] <valorie> KDE runs one that I use, people run them on their own servers
[21:22] <valorie> some even run a screen IRC session that they connect to
[21:23] <MazingerZERO> Very interesting, so this can ensure a message gets by even with flaky connection?
[21:23] <MazingerZERO> I live in a pretty stormy area and wifi at times is affected badly.
[21:24] <MazingerZERO> Reading about telegram too, never heard of it before actually. How useful can it be?
[21:29] <MazingerZERO> That was educative. Oh well, gotta go back to work. Thanks for your help!
 Telgram was great for something like Akademy, as it allowed non attendees to keep up with what was going on
