D-rexBeen having DNS problem with Kubuntu 16.10.  Error is "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" ..it happens randomly and then the websites go back to working after a few minutes.04:45
D-rexI have tried setting the DNS address to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 in the OS settings and at the router level and the error is still there.04:45
D-rexGoogle seems to always load but there are paticular domains that it happens to just not sure why it's only those domains.04:47
BluesKajHey folks13:26
R13oseI am having this problem: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 and in Opera Browser too.  If there are any updates I should make to the pastebin let me know.13:42
=== pierre_ is now known as PierreLinux
R13oseany thoughts on my problem?14:59
soee_R13ose: try creating new user and see if the problem exists on that account to (make sure it has defautl settings)15:12
soee_than we can be sure it is not your widgets/profile configuration problem15:13
R13osesoee_: this problem doesn't happen all the time so hard to know when this will happen.15:13
soee_maybe problem with GPU rendering or something15:20
soee_or see if CPU or RAM usage isn't extra height when it happens15:20
soee_you can observe them via ksysguard15:21
=== rudra_ is now known as rudra
R13osesoee_: should I have that open before the problem happens?15:22
soee_no15:24
R13osesoee_: besides the browsers, plank is also making the icons stick now if I hover over them but goes away if I switch programs.15:24
soee_i have no experience with plank :)15:24
R13osenot many people do but might be relaed15:25

grahamperrinA few months ago I spent a few weeks with Kubuntu 16.04, I can't recall which file system I used. Which file system might it have been? (What was the default for fresh installation of 16.04?)15:50
mparilloI think if you take the defaults, you get EXT415:54
mparilloI know I have it.15:55

eg0rhi all is there a way to install kubuntu along side windows 8.117:25
sintregoogle guides your'll find plenty of them17:25
sintrei ditched win1017:26
sintrewith new lappy17:26
eg0r@sintre I tried as given in the online17:27
sintrehttp://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html17:27
sintrei think the trick is to manually create the needed partitions17:28
sintreseems to be a theme in most guides17:28
eg0rthey show that there is an option to select install ubuntu/kubuntu along side windows but I dont even get the option17:28
sintreinstead of trying it let it auto magic it17:28
eg0rI dont understand most of the partition in linux17:28
sintrehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uVcsFhv2Vo17:29
sintresee if that video helps a bit17:29
sintreguys voice is anooying but understandable17:29
eg0rok i'll try17:30
sintrehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46FtBpv6Bjk17:30
sintreless annoying17:30
grahamperrinmparillo: thanks17:50
pineapplelover_hello is there a way to get something like ubuntu's wallch in kubuntu?18:51

SmurphyHmmm... got akonadi_davgroupware_resource beiung respawned very 2 seconds, until I got one of these crap drkonqui messages popiing up.19:11
SmurphyAnyone got an idea? Saw this?19:11
SmurphyStarted after I created a new identity in kontact->kmail19:11
SmurphyRemoving that contact won't help.19:12

SmurphyI found out what it was. Corrupt local cache (akonadi/database).20:26
SmurphyAfter removing .local/share/akonadi* - and re-creating the configuration/entries in kontact, these messages went away.20:26

syddelHello.22:45
sintrehi22:46
syddelI have a Skylake laptop with Intel graphics and an nVidia GTX 970m. I'm having trouble installing Kubuntu 16.10 using just the Intel graphics (so the battery will last longer).22:47
sintrewell you have a machine that uses both22:48
syddelI'd be happy to install without nVidia working (i.e. just using the Intel GPU).22:48
sintreso uses integrated then switches over for heavier tasks gamign ect.?22:48
syddelsintre: There's a setting in the BIOS where I can set GPU to either "DISCRETE" or "MSHYBRID".22:49
sintreabove my head , but in general the os most likely won't want to NOT enable a piece of hardware22:49
sintrethat was where  was going22:49
sintremaybe disabling the dedicated gfx , before install might solve the problem22:49
sintrein bios22:49
sintreforce it to only install intel drivers on install because it can't see it to begin with22:50
sintreohh so not setting to disable?22:50
syddelI have tried that, but then it just freezes when I try to log in. I've tried upgrading the kernel to 4.8.14 and the latest Intel drivers, but nothing seems to work.22:51
sintrehonestly how much extra battery time do you think you'll really get?22:51
sintreit should even under linux to only use discrete when needed22:51
syddelI have managed to install everything successfully in Ubuntu 16.10. The difference is 5 hours vs. 1.5 hours.22:51
sintreok over my head there22:52
syddelWhen I run "powerstat" in Ubuntu 16.10, the difference is 28W vs 10W.22:52
sintrei would check what drivers and packages ubuntu is using22:52
sintrethen investigate , and honestly i'm an end user myself so this one is over my head22:52
sintrebut 1.5 hours is silly compared to 522:52
sintrelots of people in developer team lurk here , stick around awhile i'm sure they'll help with they come around22:53
syddelCool :)22:53
sintrethat makes no sense honestly the gap22:53
sintreone thing i'd look at in mean time , are other settings different22:54
sintrelike screen brightniess , cpu speed ect.22:54
sintrebtw have you updated your packages for kubuntu ?22:54
syddelYes22:55
sintrehmm well thats the only other thing i can think to do in the mean time22:55
syddelI think it's just a quirk with this laptop. I've had nothing but heartache and grief dealing with switchable graphics and Linux. I have a Lenovo T450 (which doesn't have discrete graphics), and Kubuntu 16.10 runs beautifully on it.22:56
syddelThere moment there's nVidia and Intel, you're in a world of hurt.22:56
sintrei've had my own battle with a new dell 3558 nudget notebook22:56
sintrebudget22:56
sintrefinaly figured out half user error half dumb installer lol22:57
sintredidn't change partition table for new hdd in system22:57
sintreso never ending problems with installs with dumb new uefi firmare22:57
sintrethen isntalled reg ubuntu , which the grub loader22:58
sintresomehow either changed the table or forced it to boot22:58
sintreconsufed me even more22:58
sintrewhen i tried to go back to 16.04 for more stability as pklasma kept crashing22:58
sintrewish i could tell ya how to fix it , but if 16.20 is stable anf giving better battery why not just stick with that22:59
sintrei mean 16.1022:59
sintresry re-read what you said23:00
syddelBecause the laptop runs hot, the fans are spinning most of the time, and I know (deep down inside) that it's not "optimal" (I've had Ubuntu 16.10 to compare it against). Sometimes, when I'm on the road, I appreciate the extra battery life.23:00
sintremaybe going to lts version might help23:00
sintrewell , you have a unique system and interesting problem , i think with some time lurkin around somebody with more knowledge might be able to help23:01
sintremaybe the drivers you installed for your dedicated gpu are outdated or not optimized , hopefully you'll get somebody that can help find the answer23:02
sintreeven if they were out the box drivers maybe the problem , i do know kde plsma is being worked on that has alot to do with graphics performance and they're testing it now23:03
sintrei can't get duel monitors to work myself23:03
sintresounds if thats the battery drain your dedicated car isn't shutting off23:03
sintreso there is kinf the target to figure out23:04
sintrehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/641844/how-to-turn-off-nvidia-gpu-in-a-hybrid-graphics-laptop-using-ubuntu-14-0423:05
sintregive that a read might help23:06
pepeeI'm not sure if the problem is kwin, plasmashell, the theme or something else, but... I keep getting frozen(???) windows. say, firefox, gkrellm will kind of "freeze", and when you move to another window, these windows will be refreshed.. but then, freeze again.23:42
pepeeand I'm seeing this in 2 different systems, one with kubuntu 16.04, the other one is 16.10, both with more or less with similar theme configs23:43
pepeeI wish I could debug this... I know how to debug simple things, but I have no clue about graphics stuff23:45
pepeeit'd be cool if someone guided me23:45
pepeealso, something similarly weird, but not the same, happens in konsole... I keep getting frozen tabs23:55
