[04:45] <D-rex> Been 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-rex> I 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.
[04:47] <D-rex> Google seems to always load but there are paticular domains that it happens to just not sure why it's only those domains.
[13:26] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[13:42] <R13ose> I 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.
[14:59] <R13ose> any thoughts on my problem?
[15:12] <soee_> R13ose: try creating new user and see if the problem exists on that account to (make sure it has defautl settings)
[15:13] <soee_> than we can be sure it is not your widgets/profile configuration problem
[15:13] <R13ose> soee_: this problem doesn't happen all the time so hard to know when this will happen.
[15:20] <soee_> maybe problem with GPU rendering or something
[15:20] <soee_> or see if CPU or RAM usage isn't extra height when it happens
[15:21] <soee_> you can observe them via ksysguard
[15:22] <R13ose> soee_: should I have that open before the problem happens?
[15:24] <soee_> no
[15:24] <R13ose> soee_: 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 :)
[15:25] <R13ose> not many people do but might be relaed
[15:25] <R13ose> related*
[15:50] <grahamperrin> A 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?)
[15:54] <mparillo> I think if you take the defaults, you get EXT4
[15:55] <mparillo> I know I have it.
[17:15] <Jollamies-> nice
[17:25] <eg0r> hi all is there a way to install kubuntu along side windows 8.1
[17:25] <sintre> google guides your'll find plenty of them
[17:26] <sintre> i ditched win10
[17:26] <sintre> with new lappy
[17:27] <eg0r> @sintre I tried as given in the online
[17:27] <sintre> http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html
[17:28] <sintre> i think the trick is to manually create the needed partitions
[17:28] <sintre> seems to be a theme in most guides
[17:28] <eg0r> they show that there is an option to select install ubuntu/kubuntu along side windows but I dont even get the option
[17:28] <sintre> instead of trying it let it auto magic it
[17:28] <eg0r> I dont understand most of the partition in linux
[17:29] <sintre> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uVcsFhv2Vo
[17:29] <sintre> see if that video helps a bit
[17:29] <sintre> guys voice is anooying but understandable
[17:30] <eg0r> ok i'll try
[17:30] <sintre> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46FtBpv6Bjk
[17:30] <sintre> less annoying
[17:50] <grahamperrin> mparillo: thanks
[18:51] <pineapplelover_> hello is there a way to get something like ubuntu's wallch in kubuntu?
[18:55] <pineapplelover_> I would like to get live earth images on desktop
[19:03] <pineapplelover_> stop playing dice and say something you gamers!
[19:11] <Smurphy> Hmmm... got akonadi_davgroupware_resource beiung respawned very 2 seconds, until I got one of these crap drkonqui messages popiing up.
[19:11] <Smurphy> Anyone got an idea? Saw this?
[19:11] <Smurphy> Started after I created a new identity in kontact->kmail
[19:12] <Smurphy> Removing that contact won't help.
[20:26] <Smurphy> I found out what it was. Corrupt local cache (akonadi/database).
[20:26] <Smurphy> After removing .local/share/akonadi* - and re-creating the configuration/entries in kontact, these messages went away.
[21:39] <matt__> Hows it hanging
[22:45] <syddel> Hello.
[22:46] <sintre> hi
[22:47] <syddel> I 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).
[22:48] <sintre> well you have a machine that uses both
[22:48] <syddel> I'd be happy to install without nVidia working (i.e. just using the Intel GPU).
[22:48] <sintre> so uses integrated then switches over for heavier tasks gamign ect.?
[22:49] <syddel> sintre: There's a setting in the BIOS where I can set GPU to either "DISCRETE" or "MSHYBRID".
[22:49] <sintre> above my head , but in general the os most likely won't want to NOT enable a piece of hardware
[22:49] <sintre> that was where  was going
[22:49] <sintre> maybe disabling the dedicated gfx , before install might solve the problem
[22:49] <sintre> in bios
[22:50] <sintre> force it to only install intel drivers on install because it can't see it to begin with
[22:50] <sintre> ohh so not setting to disable?
[22:51] <syddel> I 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] <sintre> honestly how much extra battery time do you think you'll really get?
[22:51] <sintre> it should even under linux to only use discrete when needed
[22:51] <syddel> I have managed to install everything successfully in Ubuntu 16.10. The difference is 5 hours vs. 1.5 hours.
[22:52] <sintre> ok over my head there
[22:52] <syddel> When I run "powerstat" in Ubuntu 16.10, the difference is 28W vs 10W.
[22:52] <sintre> i would check what drivers and packages ubuntu is using
[22:52] <sintre> then investigate , and honestly i'm an end user myself so this one is over my head
[22:52] <sintre> but 1.5 hours is silly compared to 5
[22:53] <sintre> lots of people in developer team lurk here , stick around awhile i'm sure they'll help with they come around
[22:53] <syddel> Cool :)
[22:53] <sintre> that makes no sense honestly the gap
[22:54] <sintre> one thing i'd look at in mean time , are other settings different
[22:54] <sintre> like screen brightniess , cpu speed ect.
[22:54] <sintre> btw have you updated your packages for kubuntu ?
[22:55] <syddel> Yes
[22:55] <sintre> hmm well thats the only other thing i can think to do in the mean time
[22:56] <syddel> I 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] <syddel> There moment there's nVidia and Intel, you're in a world of hurt.
[22:56] <sintre> i've had my own battle with a new dell 3558 nudget notebook
[22:56] <sintre> budget
[22:57] <sintre> finaly figured out half user error half dumb installer lol
[22:57] <sintre> didn't change partition table for new hdd in system
[22:57] <sintre> so never ending problems with installs with dumb new uefi firmare
[22:58] <sintre> then isntalled reg ubuntu , which the grub loader
[22:58] <sintre> somehow either changed the table or forced it to boot
[22:58] <sintre> consufed me even more
[22:58] <sintre> when i tried to go back to 16.04 for more stability as pklasma kept crashing
[22:59] <sintre> wish i could tell ya how to fix it , but if 16.20 is stable anf giving better battery why not just stick with that
[22:59] <sintre> i mean 16.10
[23:00] <sintre> sry re-read what you said
[23:00] <syddel> Because 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] <sintre> maybe going to lts version might help
[23:01] <sintre> well , you have a unique system and interesting problem , i think with some time lurkin around somebody with more knowledge might be able to help
[23:02] <sintre> maybe the drivers you installed for your dedicated gpu are outdated or not optimized , hopefully you'll get somebody that can help find the answer
[23:03] <sintre> even 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 now
[23:03] <sintre> i can't get duel monitors to work myself
[23:03] <sintre> sounds if thats the battery drain your dedicated car isn't shutting off
[23:04] <sintre> so there is kinf the target to figure out
[23:05] <sintre> http://askubuntu.com/questions/641844/how-to-turn-off-nvidia-gpu-in-a-hybrid-graphics-laptop-using-ubuntu-14-04
[23:06] <sintre> give that a read might help
[23:42] <pepee> I'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.
[23:43] <pepee> and 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 configs
[23:45] <pepee> I wish I could debug this... I know how to debug simple things, but I have no clue about graphics stuff
[23:45] <pepee> it'd be cool if someone guided me
[23:55] <pepee> also, something similarly weird, but not the same, happens in konsole... I keep getting frozen tabs
