QuantosI'm having a problem I think.  My distro keeps throwing this error at me http://imgur.com/1JUC9xv00:06
QuantosI don't know how to fix it.  And the package that I think it's referring to seems to work fine00:07
ahoneybunQuantos: that would be the ubuntu-restricted-extra package00:53
ahoneybunsomething lik that00:53
QuantosThanks ahoneybun That seems to have done the trick01:24
ahoneybunnp Quantos01:30
QuantosI thought it was fixed01:30
QuantosI just got the error again, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the restricted package01:31
xor-freenetthe yesterday security updates of mysql broke akonadi/kontact/kmail completely on kubuntu 14.04... any idea in which channel a maintainer of one of those would hang out so i can notify them?03:48
* xor-freenet cannot mail them for obvious reasons...03:49
valoriexor-freenet: beyond the *buntu chans that simon gave you in -devel, there is #kontact for all of KDE PIM03:55
valorieI'll bet they will want to know03:55
xor-freenetvalorie: thank you! :)   yea i'm trying to notify different channels because mail being broken is *bad* for me, cannot work without it.03:56
valorieit is really bad, and I thank you03:56
xor-freenet:)03:56
valorieyou can always file a bug on bugs.kde.org as well03:57
xor-freeneti have an account there, but wouldn't they tell me it is the business of the ubuntu people? :|03:57
valoriesure, and mysql is going to get security updates *everywhere*03:58
valorieunless Ubuntu devels screwed up the patch03:58
xor-freenet\o/   mmh. well the bugtracker entry at the ubuntu bugtracker contains even a patch to suggest a fix; only problem is that the title suggests it's an issue of the new october version of ubuntu; while it also affects long term releases such as the 2014 version.... so i'd be happy if i could figure out who the specific person doing mysql releases is and make them aware of it04:00
xor-freenetalbeit the patch is against akonadi; so i suppose contacting the akonadi maintainer would also be appropriate.   see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/akonadi/+bug/163385504:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1633855 in akonadi (Ubuntu) "akonadi fails to start after upgrade to yakkety" [Undecided,Confirmed]04:01
valorieI assume that the akonadi team hangs out with the KDE-PIM team04:01
valorieand that they bat BRs back and forth as necessary04:01
valorieyou can cite the LP BR# on bugs.kde.org too04:02
valoriesounds like you have really done your homework04:03

Mihalyhelp06:28
Mihalyis there a specific channel for Plasma related issues? actually Im not sure which aspect of this system is causing problems but I am getting all sorts of instabilities, random crashes and stuff06:28
hateballMihaly: #plasma06:32
hateballMihaly: that said, what version of kubuntu are you using?06:32
MihalyI started with 14.10, it was fine - but after following the advice of the updater, i am currently in 15.04 hell.06:33
Mihalyand it won't let me upgrade to 16.04 either.06:34
hateball!eolupgrade | Mihaly06:35
ubottuMihaly: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades06:35
Mihalyyes, yes, please am not in need of rtfm kind of help here.06:35
hateballYou're using an unsupported release, and I'm giving you information to upgrade to a supported one06:38
hateballWith that attitude, suit yourself06:38
AdhamHello everyone, do anyone know how to set audio configurations, rather than using category from "Audio and Video"?07:15
AdhamFurthermore, I'm not sure where I can set the default mic for skype calls...07:16
hateballAdham: Sounds like you'd do that in Skype07:19
hateballNot familiar with that application07:20
hateballAdham: What configurations are you looking to edit?07:20
AdhamIn skype, there is no device selection, seems like using kubuntu's default07:20
Adhamchange device that is used for Audio for the entire operating system, rather than setting for each category07:22
hateballAdham: oh, well you can set the default mic, sure07:23
hateballAdham: rightclick the volume applet in your tray and go into settings, that should let you pick which in-device to use07:24

locustmagegood morning11:30
barqMy MTP connection is unreliable with kubuntu 16.04.1. Is there any known fix?11:32
BluesKajHiyas all11:32
barqWhen I am in file explorer I often get faults11:32
locustmageim seeing this article, have you attempted this?11:33
locustmagehttp://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Productivity-Sauce/Enable-Support-for-Android-MTP-in-KDE11:33
locustmageor maybe11:34
locustmagehttps://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?59412-MTP-Support11:34
locustmageactually the second link, the forum refers to the same KIO MTP11:34
locustmagesomeone else in the forum used gmtp11:36
barqI saw the first link11:36
barqThe problem is that the mtp interferes with my adb11:36
barqSo I want to disable mtp, not install a new version11:36
locustmagei found this link, seems like it might apply to you11:42
locustmagehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/539205/android-device-detected-by-mtp-detect-but-not-by-adb11:42
locustmageis that more along the lines your looking for?11:43
locustmagethis answer removes mtp support completely11:44
locustmagehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/35506038/nexus-device-not-visible-to-adb-on-ubuntu-when-mtp-is-enabled11:44
barqI downloaded adb via android platform-tools11:44
barqWhere is this settings->storage?11:45
barqah on the device, so yuo can't do tht in linux?11:45
locustmageim thinking that might only be for unity not kde11:45
locustmagei was looking at the removal of the mtp packages below that in the same answer11:46
barqWhen I do sudo adb I get command not found11:50
barqeven when I do sudo ./adb11:50
barqWhen I just run adb it works11:51
locustmagethis might be useful11:54
locustmagehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/213874/how-to-configure-adb-access-for-android-devices11:54
locustmageseems you may need a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android-rules11:56
locustmageor something similar11:56
barqadb usually works, but often hangs12:01
barqThat's what I'm trying to fix in the end.12:02

sithlord48user|55117:  you want at least 8GB of storage for root but that will depend on what you plan to install . I usually make a 40GB root15:41

Fensterhey guys... I need some advice.. my father in laws laptop running vista died and I want to install a linux distro on there, mostly for cost and for spam/virus control.... the issue is the files are intact, so I want to keep them as best I can......18:21
Fensterdoes it make sense to partition and install linux on a new partition and just keep those windows files in place18:21
geniiFenster: That's the usual way, yes. And then at boot time you can select either from GRUB menu18:24
Fensterwhat are some concerns with doing it that way though.... will linux programs automatically default to saving locally on the linux partition?18:25
sithlord48Fenster:  for the price it might be better to get a new hd for the laptop18:25
Fensterthe hdd is fine... its the OS thats screwed18:25
sithlord48Fenster:  linux will use what disc you tell it to use18:25
sithlord48if you make a partiton / it iwll use that .. you can only mount the windows partitions not install to them .18:25
Fensterah ok... does it only mount them as read only?18:26
Fensterhe uses this laptop for email and google picasa18:26
geniiNo, read-write18:26
Fensterok18:26
marco-parilloI assume the Vista data is NTFS?18:26
FensterI know picasa wont work18:26
sithlord48by defalut it won't mount them at all iirc you need to install ntfs-3g18:26
Fensteryes pretty sure18:26
Fensterhrmmm18:26
sithlord48Fenster:  you ned to run disc check etc on windows side and maybe even resize there.18:27
Fensterthe other option is to backup, fresh install, and then create a folder in linux and dump the back up in there18:27
sithlord48ntfs can be odd when not cleanly unmounted from windows etc18:27
sithlord48will he use windows after?18:27
sithlord48if not what i usually do is boot to usb and copy all the data they need off the HD to another USB and restore it to linux afterwards18:28
Fensterya I loaded a ubuntu live disc last night and am dumping to an external HDD18:29
user|33130Hi! Is the latest stable version compatibile with Skylake CPU-s with integrated graphic (HD 530)? Thanks18:29
FensterI think I got it, but there were a lot of copy errors... not sure why. .... so I am worried to completely wipe18:29
Fensterno, windows doesnt work at all, he will never use windows again18:30
sithlord48Fenster:  yeah i see that alot too18:30
Fensterunless he hates this18:30
Fensterbut if he hates kubuntu, he is going to be buying his next OS18:30
sithlord48Fenster:  you will have to show him some things maybe but most people take ot kubuntu alright from windows18:31
Fensteras I no longer have any vists discs18:31
sithlord48who does now a days lol;18:31
Fensterhell I have to show him stuff in vista so I am not terribly worried ;-18:31
Fensterp18:31
sithlord48lamo . .they all resist then they start to like it.. i was asked by my dad why i didn't change his machine sooner18:32
Fensterone option I could possibly do is add a linux partition, use up all free space... dump my backup into that linux partition and let it ride.... if it appears that everything is there, then delete that windows partition and resize to recoup the space18:34
sithlord48you should get the same copy issues reguardless of the target diretcory18:36
sithlord48what format is your disk your copying to in ?18:37
sithlord48not that is should matter our formats usually support more characters and file sizes then NTFS so that is unlikey to be your problem but it copying to fat32 that could be why copy errors18:38
Fenstersorry18:44
Fensterfat32 I believe18:44
Fenstermaybe ext418:44
Fensterpretty sure ft3218:45
FensterI wa just saying I would leave that partition dormant in case I ever needed it18:45
DonCullenKubuntu is flickering alot18:47
DonCullenWasn't doing that until today18:47
DonCullenRecommended solution?18:47
sithlord48fat32 might be why you have copy problems. files over 4GB are to big on fat32 Fenster18:47
FensterI dont think there are any large files... unless these are like some strange large log files or something18:47
sithlord48and otehr things i just don't remember like total characters in path18:48
Fensterah... thats progbably it18:48
FensterEXt4 doesnt have that limitation?18:48
Fensterthe prob is I want to keep fat32 in case he does go back to windows, its an easy dump18:48
sithlord48Fenster:  then use ntfs for your backup18:57
sithlord48Fenster:  every filesystem has various limits on things like characters you cna use in the name. number of characters allowed in the files full path . file size , number of files , etc etc18:58
DonCullenFixed the flickering by running killall plasmashell; kwin --replace & kstart plasmashell & exit in KRunner19:05
DonCullenThank goodness for Google.19:05
fqtwcan i use X11 forwarding from my server to home when the server isnt running any graphical stuff?19:44
fqtwis X always running?19:44
DragnslcrYou should be able to19:51
tikaniHow to make KWallet to see GPG key on Kubuntu 16.04.1?20:30
Fensterwell, I am not convinced the backup worked21:34
Fensteraccessing the drive on windows it keeps hanging21:34
FensterI think I am having issues here... my question is, is there a way to setup a file copy that will rename files that are too long for the drive?21:34
chcknrubwhen will qt 5.8 released to kubuntu 16.04? It is still 5.5.122:31
