[03:54] <DonCullen> Been away from the *nix scene for quite a while, so I'm pretty out of it.  Noticed very little to no mention (of recent) on internet has been made of Compiz Fusion.  Whatever happened to it?
[03:59] <DarinMiller> DonCullen: Compizefusion is stll used on the Ubuntu unity 7 desktop (not sure if it's used with Mir on Unity 8).  In KDE4, the CF could replace kwin, but I have not tried with plasma 5.
[04:12] <DonCullen> Thanks for the clarification on CF
[04:12] <DonCullen> KWin any good?
[04:18] <DonCullen> Just found out KWin is already part of Plasma.  Doing research on how to enable effects now.
[04:19] <DarinMiller> DonCullen: The plasma developers on working on enabling kwin with Wayland.  It's progressing quite nicely but the wayland version sitll has few rough edges.  As an ex compiz fan, I am quite happy with kwin.

[06:29] <DonCullen> That one seems more promising.
[06:33] <DonCullen> I didn't have OpenGL on my machine when you asked; I followed instructions from the second link, and OpenGL works fine for me now.  Hope that link helps you.

[10:46] <yossarianuk> hi - is it possible with ACL's or something else to give user write permission to a directory but not be able to delete files ?
[11:02] <lordievader> yossarianuk: Something like that is possible, but I am not sure how exactly.
[11:02] <lordievader> We use it at the study association.
[11:11] <yossarianuk> lordievader: my thoughts at the minute are to either use inotify (and change the perms after file uploaded) or sometghing mad like SELINUX
[11:20] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:37] <yossarianuk> lordievader: using bindfs works...
[12:33] <lordievader> yossarianuk: We did it there with ext4 and samba.
 Hello
 Can I ask you guys for help?
[14:23] <marco-parillo> !ask
 I'm trying to install Kubuntu from the Live distribution on my USB stick, but when I try to boot it just lands to a grey screen. I thought the problem was my Nvidia GPU but the F6 key does nothing (I managed to add the nomodeset option). Do anyone know how to solve?
[14:35] <BluesKaj> !EFI | EviasOr, I'll bet that's your problem
[14:39] <viewer|98088> I haven't UEFI on my machine, and I can boot into the kubuntu splah screen (but hotkeys aren't working). I just tryed to boot again and I got a Kernel Panic
[14:43] <viewer|98088> Other informations: I'm trying to install the 32bit version of Kubuntu on a PC with an Athlon 64 x2 CPU, 2GB Ram and a Geforce GTX 240
[14:49] <BluesKaj> viewer|98088, your pc can handle 64 bit with that cpu , a little short on memeory, but if you don't open too many apps at once you should be fine
[14:52] <viewer|98088> Ok, I'll try with 64bit and let you know.
[14:54] <BluesKaj> viewer|98088, and your nvidia gpu should work just fine  and even better once you install the recommended driver rather than the default
[14:57] <user|45982> Hola, alguien me puede decir un sitio donde pueda descargar kubuntu 4.5.7
[14:57] <user|45982> Por favor
[14:57] <viewer|98088> Can I install them also if the live doens't boot (just to be clear, I'm the same guy that asked about the grey screen)
[14:57] <viewer|98088> Forgot the "?"
[14:59] <user|45982> Hello, can someone tell me a place where I can download Kubuntu 4.5.7
[14:59] <DonCullen> Quick question, I seem to be unable to locate Muon Discovery on Kubuntu, where is it now?
[15:00] <DonCullen>  @user|45982 - http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/
[15:01] <DonCullen> @user|45982 - if you need even older versions, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/
[15:04] <Guest38858> hi...I just upgraded kubuntu to 16.10, but now sddm doesn't seem to start
[15:04] <acheronuk> DonCullen: no such things as that now. There is Muon which is a package manager, and there is plasma-discover with also does that but is more a software centre style app
[15:05] <DonCullen> Ahh.  So what does Kubuntu use now as a GUI for package management?
[15:07] <DonCullen> @Guest38858 -- try https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213460
[15:07] <acheronuk> if you want a pure package manager, as said you can install 'muon'
[15:08] <BluesKaj> Guest38858, can you drop to vt/tty (ctl+alt+F1-F6) , the run suso systemctl enable sddm, then, sudo systemctl start sddm
[15:08] <BluesKaj> suso=sudo
[15:08] <DonCullen> Is it any good?
[15:08] <BluesKaj> muon is best
[15:09] <DonCullen> okay, then.  sudo apt-get install muon it is then?
[15:09] <BluesKaj> yup
[15:09] <acheronuk> Guest38858: is this on a Nvidia card? if so, what driver?
[15:10] <DonCullen> Guest38858 BluesKaj -- keep in mind that it appears this has been reported as a bug  -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1431332
[15:11] <DonCullen> Meh, Empathy keeps crashing on Kubuntu
[15:11] <Guest38858> trying that out...one moment
[15:11] <Guest38858> acheronuk: it's an intel graphics card
[15:12] <acheronuk> Guest38858: ok. that rules out one possible problem then :)
[15:12] <BluesKaj> DonCullen, that's an old bug ...hasn't affected  me for a while now
[15:13] <DonCullen> Just thought I'd share what I found on Google.
[15:15] <DonCullen> This may be way beyond what's normally asked here, but I figured couldn't hurt to ask
[15:15] <Guest38858> DonCullen: that was reported for 15.10 beta :) this was an upgrade from a working 16.04
[15:16] <DonCullen> On Windows, I used Cyberduck for working with Amazon S3 server, what's a good S3 client for Kubuntu?
[15:16] <Guest38858> and...systemctl set-default graphical.target didn't help
[15:18] <Guest38858> in /var/log/X.ord.log I get this "(EE) /dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied"...any idea what's this? google is not helping a lot

[15:40] <BluesKaj> Guest38858, so you upgraded via the 'net, sometimes successful sometimes not
[15:40] <DonCullen> Not my first language either, so all good.
[15:40] <BluesKaj> upgrade the OS that is
[15:41] <Guest38858> BluesKaj: hehe yeah...well trying to install lightdm to see if it works out
[15:45] <Guest38858> lightdm works...kinda...after login I get a black screen with the message "Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?"
[15:46] <Guest38858> what the hell does it mean?
[15:46] <DonCullen> BRB, calling QDBus. ;)

[15:46] <DonCullen> Me either.  They shoud've included it.
[15:46] <DonCullen> Heh
[15:47] <Guest38858> well...calling qdbus on the command line I get that mixed lib version output just before a core dump
[15:47] <DonCullen> Are you running this in VirtualBox or something?  You seem to be able to chat on IRC while working with it

[18:52] <BluesKaj> oh, so you're opening terminal inside the file
[18:52] <DonCullen> I would use Vim, but Vim is acting screwy ATM
[18:53] <DonCullen> Using terminal, I open a file in Kate for editing, when done, I close kate saving the file.  Then that triggers.
[18:54] <BluesKaj> are you using kdesudo kate or sudo kate?
[18:55] <DonCullen> sudo kate
[18:56] <BluesKaj> if you are opening a gui like  kate you have to use kdesudo ..sudo is strictly for terminal alone
[18:57] <BluesKaj> !kdesudo
[18:57] <DonCullen> Interesting, when I run the command "kate something" and save the file, works fine, nothing happens
[18:57] <DonCullen> if I add sudo to it, then it triggers that
[18:58] <BluesKaj> DonCullen, read above ^

[18:59] <DonCullen> Yep, I read it
[18:59] <DonCullen> But I doubt that's why it's triggering

[19:09] <konrados> So, since we got rid of this guy, what do you think about http://askubuntu.com/a/282827 ?
[19:09] <konrados> someone suggest sudo apt-get install kubuntu-low-fat-settings
[19:10] <konrados> To make kubuntu use lower memory
[19:10] <claydoh> that is old, kubuntu-lo-fat
[19:10] <claydoh> don't think it is relevant any more
[19:11] <konrados> You say I should use "kubuntu-lo-fat" instead of "kubuntu-lo-fat-settings", claydoh ?
[19:11] <claydoh> and the package does not exist
[19:11] <claydoh> anymore
[19:11] <BluesKaj> konrados, claydoh speaks wise words there...it's no longer relevant
[19:12] <konrados> hmm... so how can I lower the ram usage? By plasma or kde?
[19:12] <konrados> BluesKaj , claydoh ?
[19:12] <claydoh> by not running things?
[19:13] <konrados> I only have hexchat terminal and chrome executed :(
[19:13] <konrados> I mean running
[19:14] <BluesKaj> konrados, how much RAM is being used and by which packages ?
[19:14] <claydoh> turn off desktop effects reduce the neumber of krunner plugins used, check for and disable any windeco animations, drop shadows, and the like
[19:16] <konrados> claydoh, OK, I'll do, thanks! BluesKaj - /proc/self/exe is three times on htop with 138 MB (RES column), then a hundreds times of chrome, with 115MB (only 3 tabs opened), then chrome --type=rendered many times (110 MB), and then small things
[19:21] <konrados> I have this: http://pastebin.com/mcHSFanT - please don't make laugh of my 2gb memory :( but why I have 291448 "free" but it still uses swap ?
[19:21] <claydoh> chrome and other browsers commonly have different threads running -keeps the whole browser from going down, iirc, if one tab misbehaves
[19:21] <claydoh> swap = ubuntu's tendency to hit swap early

[19:22] <konrados> Thanks, claydoh - I'm on it
[19:22] <claydoh> that will make a diff on systems with lower ram
[19:22] <konrados> OK, thanks

I checked here: https://launchpad.net/%7Ekubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+index?field.series_filter=trusty and Here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/ . And it seems that since 2014, there were no update through backports to libreoffice/vlc. Is that correct or am I missing something?

[22:42] <DonCullen> Just finished reinstalling Kubuntu.
[22:47] <konrados> Btw, when I press and hold the pipe (|||||||) or backslash (\\) then I "can" enter them...
[22:50] <DonCullen> Pardon?
[22:51] <konrados> If it was to me, DonCullen - I have a problem with entering the pipe character (as well as backslash, it is on the same key, as you know)
[22:51] <konrados> When hitting once, it appears and disappears, DonC
[22:52] <konrados> DonCullen, ^
[22:52] <DonCullen> In IRC, or...?
[22:52] <konrados> *everywhere* :(
[22:52] <konrados> in terminal, texteditors, irc...
[22:53] <konrados> afaik I have no problems with other keys, only with this one.
[22:54] <Arcaire> [09:51] <konrados> If it was to me, DonCullen - I have a problem with entering the pipe character (as well as backslash, it is on the same key, as you know)
[22:54] <Arcaire> [09:51] <konrados> When hitting once, it appears and disappears, DonC
[22:54] <Arcaire> [09:52] <konrados> DonCullen, ^
[22:54] <DonCullen> System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Accessibility, check modifier keys, keyboard filters
[22:54] <Arcaire> er, sorry
[22:54] <Arcaire> middle click
[22:54] <DonCullen> Can't hurt to check other tabs too
[22:54]  * Arcaire looks for a way to disable that.
[22:54] <konrados> Thanks DonCullen - I'll try that, although this is a fresh installation
[22:55] <konrados> sec...
[22:55] <DonCullen> Sure the issue isn't the keyboard itself?
[22:55] <DonCullen> Have you tried using a different keyboard?
[22:55] <DonCullen> That'd tell you if it was hardware related or software related.
[22:55] <konrados> I used to work on another system, DonCullen - OK, I'll try that too, thanks, sec...
[22:56] <konrados> *it used to work
[22:57] <DonCullen> No problem.  Not a guru here.  The only reason why I suggested that (accessibility) is because on Win10, my kids love to mess with the keyboard, and somehow they activate accessibility for keyboard, messes it up to kingdom come.  Drove me crazy trying to figure out what they did, took me a week to find the cause and fix it.
[22:58] <konrados> DonCullen, - everything's turned off, or have default values in the "accessibility" page, I'll try another keyboard
[22:58] <DonCullen> OK, good to know it isn't that.
[22:58] <DonCullen> Let's hope it's hardware related.
[22:58] <DonCullen> Otherwise there's more troubleshooting to do.
[22:59] <DonCullen> Strange though, you mentioned it's a fresh install.
[23:06] <konrados> DonCullen - yes it's fresh. But damn, I can't find a free keyboard right now, I'll try tomorrow, for now I'll survive without this key :) Thanks again!
[23:09] <konrados> I have problems with installing/deinstalling packages, like here: http://pastebin.com/CnvXv6zV - I already tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148383/how-to-resolve-dpkg-error-processing-var-cache-apt-archives-python-apport-2-0 ( sudo apt-get clean ) - I'm very close to reinstall kubuntu, what's the easiest way? I don't care about the my data I already have, there is not too much of it.
[23:10] <DonCullen> If you don't want to wait, http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/guides/keyboard_easier/onscreen/linux/kde/
[23:11] <DonCullen> I wouldn't blame you for reinstalling Kubuntu.  I just did it twice today. >.<
[23:11] <konrados> DonCullen, I have more problems with Kubuntu. You said a few minutes ago "Just finished reinstalling Kubuntu." - what's the easiest way to do this? I don't care about my own data.
[23:12] <konrados> oh wait, I did something and it told me to restart the pc, I completely forgot about it, brb DonCullen
[23:13] <DonCullen> I basically downloaded Kubuntu onto an USB drive, used UBI to make USB Drive bootable, rebooted into USB, and reinstalled then.

[23:14] <DonCullen> Keep in mind, to set up the USB drive, I was using a Win10 pc.

[23:22] <konrados> DonCullen - sorry I recalled I had to reboot the machine, but it didn't change anything. I already know pressing the backslash key causes two things - it sends the backslash and then... it sends the backspace key - I discovered by an accident - in chrome it took me back to a previous page :) Anyway - I have so many other problems that I think about reinstalling KUbuntu, what's the easiest way?

[23:36] <DonCullen> Ah, you didn't see what I sent earlier konrados
[23:37] <DonCullen> I basically downloaded Kubuntu onto an USB drive, used UBI to make USB Drive bootable, rebooted into USB, and reinstalled then.  Keep in mind, to set up the USB drive, I was using a Win10 pc.  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-kubuntu-10-04-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/
[23:37] <DonCullen> konrados ^^
[23:37] <konrados> Yeah, so the procedure is just like first installation, right, DonCullen ?
[23:38] <DonCullen> Pretty much.  In my case, I had it format the partition so I wouldn't have to wonder if it was still re-using any old stuff from the previous installation.  I wanted a clean installation.
[23:38] <DonCullen> Again, not a guru here.
[23:39] <konrados> OK, I'll try that, thank you very much DonCullen !
[23:39] <konrados> I have nothing to loose :)
[23:40] <DonCullen> No problem, see you when you get back.  Hopefully it'll be all good when you return.
[23:41] <konrados> I hope so too, but I'll try that tomorrow, we have 02:00 am now in my timezone :)
[23:41] <konrados> I'll surely get back to you with a report :)
[23:41] <DonCullen> Yep.  Before you install, may want to have Kubuntu test the installation media for defects
[23:41] <DonCullen> This way you don't waste your time installing when it's already flawed from the start.
[23:41] <DonCullen> 2AM?  Europe?
[23:42] <konrados> Yes, Poland.
[23:43] <DonCullen> Never been there.  Heard it's quite a place to visit.
[23:43] <DonCullen> G'nite then!
[23:44] <konrados> I tried to use smartctl so I tried to install smartmontools when the dpkg said it has a problem. DonCullen - this is is Masuria, in Poland: https://www.google.pl/search?q=mazury+polska&biw=1280&bih=869&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjmrJq5z_TPAhVEiCwKHe-uCAUQ_AUIBigB
