[01:42] <user|45138> Is it portable / can it be run from a CD or flash drive???
[03:25] <misterg77> how make a custom login screen
[03:26] <misterg77> do you
[03:32] <valorie> misterg77: I believe that's called SDDM, so you might google for customize sddm
[03:32] <valorie> I think there is a way to do that
[09:29] <loa> hello! what is right method to have most up to date kde stuck under ubuntu 16.04?
[09:32] <loa> i currently use kubuntu-ppa/plasma-staging
[09:32] <loa> but dunno need i add other ppas from there?
[09:33] <loa> for some reason on notebook i need add them all to update plasma to 5.7
[09:35] <hateball> loa: all you should need, if you dont want to use staging that is, is: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[09:36] <loa> hate it will be only 5.6 then
[09:36] <loa> i need > 5.7
[09:36] <loa> because of one feature which i need.
[09:36] <hateball> stuff that has gone through staging should end up there afaik, but #kubuntu-devel knows better
[09:36] <loa> it is only in plasma-staging
[09:36] <hateball> loa: yes right you are, I am using both 16.04 and 16.10, got them mixed up
[09:37] <hateball> I wonder if there wasnt talk about going straight to 5.8.x for backports, when it was deemed doable
[11:46] <yocs0000> hi everybody. What is a good kde graphic git client?
[11:47] <hateball> yocs0000: afaik you can do that in Dolphin
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:57] <yocs0000> hateball: sounds inteesting .... can you do the whole management though dolphin? do you need plugins?
[11:59] <hateball> yocs0000: a dolphin plugin iirc
[11:59] <hateball> yocs0000: I dont use it myself, I just recall reading it somewhere
[12:01] <hateball> !info kdesdk-dolphin-plugins
[12:02] <hateball> yocs0000: see http://sebastian-doerner.de/?p=51
[12:02] <hateball> anyhow, as I said it is not something I use personally so I cannot vouch for how good or bad it is
[12:05] <yocs0000> hateball: thank you anyway!
[12:07] <gysddn> where is the best for learning linux
[12:13] <Alex-Zion> hi everyone I have a problem with plasmashell in jubuntu 16.04, it crash continuosly at startup and the system is not usable, how can I fix it ?
[12:14] <Alex-Zion> *kubuntu
[12:14] <hateball> Alex-Zion: Are you using stock 16.04 or with kubuntu ppa?
[12:15] <Alex-Zion> stock 16.04 hateball
[12:15] <hateball> Alex-Zion: then I suggest you start with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[12:15] <hateball> and reboot once all of that is done
[12:16] <Alex-Zion> but I usually dont use backport because I like a stable system, what happen to kubuntu ?
[12:17] <hateball> Sadly 16.04 is released with a quite buggy KDE/Plasma...
[12:17] <hateball> As you obviously have noticed
[12:18] <Alex-Zion> that's why I should probabilly leave kde and look for other DE after almost a decade with it
[12:19] <Alex-Zion> release a buggy system for a LTS is the wrost thing to do i guess
[12:21] <Alex-Zion> so in kubuntu decide to release an LTS with an uncomplete and buggy DE ?, I well understand ?
[12:24] <hateball> Alex-Zion: Well that's how it goes
[12:24] <hateball> Release schedules have to line up with regular Ubuntu etc
[12:27] <Alex-Zion> I already waste a lot of time with kde 4 at the beginning when it was unusable, I will not restart with kde5, is time to change for something I can trust
[12:27] <Alex-Zion> many thanke hateball
[12:28] <hateball> Alex-Zion: well if you dont need the LTS aspect, 16.10 is a better Plasma experience
[12:30] <Alex-Zion> I need a system I can trust hateball, in kde 5 they even remove features to give us a buggy and unusable DE, why whould I wwaste more time with it
[12:31] <Alex-Zion> what the next features will be removed ?
[12:32] <Alex-Zion> why should I trust a system that is going backward in terms of functionality and is even unusable ?
[12:37] <hateball> Alex-Zion: we have #kubuntu-offtopic if you want to rant :)
[12:37] <hateball> It's nice if we can keep this to problems/solutions :)
[12:38] <Alex-Zion> yeah , the solution is to move to unstable backport, seems a joke
[12:38] <Alex-Zion> anyway I'll not rant anymore don't worry, and many thanks hateball
[12:38] <hateball> Alex-Zion: Good luck whatever you decide
[12:38] <Alex-Zion> have a gooday
[14:24] <uid1> Greetings.  In Kubuntu 16.04, when I save a playlist in VLC, I always over-write the existing one.  I never, ever get prompted about existing file though.  Is this a Kubuntu thing, or a VLC thing?
[17:10] <misterg77> I know abosultutly noithing about Kubuntu just trying it out because I want to get away from Windows, but anyway I want to install an Epson xp-330 so far I have found zero drivers need help please
[17:17] <misterg77> need some help please
[17:38] <BluesKaj> misterg77, kmenu>system settings>printers ,and make sure you have cups installed
[17:39] <marco-parillo> I know for my Epson WF-series printer, I was able to download a driver (.deb) from the Epson website, but I see your specific model, there is none.
[17:39] <BluesKaj> bummer
[17:41] <marco-parillo> But, as BluesKaj notes, perhaps a generic driver will work.
[19:51] <hansi> Moin!
[20:14] <foormea> hi! is the last edition of "linux in a nutshell" still useful, or too old? i'm surprised there's no recent version
