| R13ose | When I minimize my open windows, I see nothing but a black screen, how do I fix this? | 00:19 |
| MTMaster | When I tried to dual boot windows 10 and kubuntu, it now only just boots into kubuntu. no grub option showing up for which OS i want to boot into or anything. How should I fix? | 01:12 |
| betzen529 | Is anyone having problems with plasmashell crashing at login with today's backports update? | 01:13 |
| R13ose | betzen529: can you explain what you are seeing when crashing? | 01:14 |
| betzen529 | I enter login credentials at login screen. plasmashell tries to load. desktop comes up. bottom panel tries to load. crash. | 01:16 |
| R13ose | betzen529: black screen after that? | 01:16 |
| betzen529 | yes. krunner still pops up when called, etc. so kwin seems to be running | 01:17 |
| R13ose | betzen529: I got that black screen problem after I opened a program. I tried alt+space but after two tries I think krunner crashes for me. | 01:19 |
| betzen529 | Ok. I'll keep trying to track it down. I'm just trying to see if this is a common problem that's just cropped up, or a problem with my system only. | 01:20 |
| R13ose | betzen529: mine might be similar. If you want me to test anything or you find a solution let me know. | 01:21 |
| betzen529 | will do. | 01:21 |
| R13ose | Thanks | 01:22 |
| R13ose | rbetzen: what version of kubuntu are you using? | 01:31 |
| R13ose | How do I get rid of ppa's that fail? | 01:55 |
| valorie | !ppapurge | R13ose: | 02:40 |
| ubottu | R13ose:: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:40 |
| valorie | works really well | 02:40 |
| R13ose | valorie: yes but isn't there one command to use in terminal that can get rid of all of them? | 02:42 |
| valorie | each of them, one at a time | 02:45 |
| R13ose | Okay thanks | 02:46 |

| efloid | acheronuk: just curious if any issues since release | 10:43 |
| acheronuk | efloid: needed a small akonadi update | 10:43 |
| efloid | acheronuk: i tried the backport staging a couple days ago and had issues | 10:44 |
| acheronuk | some people have issues with plasma starting, but that is the case with pretty much any major plasma version upgrade. most have been fine though | 10:44 |
| efloid | some packages wouldn't install, and yes there was an issue with plasma not starting, complaining about dbus | 10:45 |
| acheronuk | what packages would not install? | 10:45 |
| efloid | acheronuk: i'm trying to remember the name. soemthing required a library package which was a higher version than available in the archive. i finally found that version in debian sid but then i had to add a whole ton of other packages from sid also. at that point just gave up and reinstalled the system (with Neon :-) | 10:47 |
| efloid | acheronuk: let me check. i think i can get the package name | 10:47 |
| acheronuk | thanks | 10:47 |
| efloid | libkf5newstuff5 | 10:50 |
| acheronuk | have you got the actual error message? | 10:51 |
| efloid | some package in the staging repo was dependent on version 5.28 | 10:52 |
| efloid | maybe it was plasma-workspace | 10:53 |
| efloid | or plasma-desktop | 10:53 |
| efloid | https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libkf5newstuff5&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all | 10:54 |
| acheronuk | should not in theory be a problem, as it's there at version 5.28 | 10:55 |
| acheronuk | See: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+sourcepub/7327281/+listing-archive-extra | 10:55 |
| acheronuk | have not hit any broken dependencies on it so far. would really need to know the exact package name AND version that wanted it and caused the error | 10:58 |
| efloid | i'm looking at https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports and i don't see libkf5newstuff5 in the archive for yakkety | 11:03 |
| efloid | here's the one in yakkety which is too low version: http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/libkf5newstuff5 | 11:05 |
| efloid | i think it was plasma-desktop that was dependent on the higher version | 11:10 |
| efloid | anyhow, i wonder if the staging archive was not the same as the official backport one? | 11:11 |
| efloid | if you can find out which libkf5newstuff5 this depends on: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+packages?field.name_filter=plasma-desktop&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=yakkety | 11:15 |
| acheronuk | efloid: let me have a look | 11:17 |
| acheronuk | efloid: it is there: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+packages?field.name_filter=knewstuff&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=yakkety | 11:18 |
| efloid | ok. maybe it wasn't added to the staging archive yet when i had tried to upgrade | 11:19 |
| efloid | ah, but that's not the same as libkf5newstuff5 | 11:20 |
| efloid | unless it replaces it | 11:20 |
| acheronuk | yes, it is the same as libkf5newstuff5 | 11:20 |
| acheronuk | knewstuff is the source package name | 11:20 |
| acheronuk | libkf5newstuff5 is the library produced from that source | 11:21 |
| Smurphy | Anyone here using plasma-widget-marble ??? | 11:21 |

| efloid | acheronuk: do you know anything about the dbus issue? | 11:22 |
| acheronuk | efloid: not really, but I've seen reports of people on normal xenial without backports getting it, plus I think some on trusty | 11:23 |
| efloid | acheronuk: the message was "Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?" | 11:23 |
| acheronuk | so I have a feeling it is maybe more a issue with some other ubuntu updates, so coincidental, or something that is maybe only exacerbated by the backports for some people | 11:24 |

| kubuntu__ | hi | 12:30 |
| kubuntu__ | I am new to kde | 12:31 |
| kubuntu__ | I was mostly an xfce user | 12:31 |
| kubuntu__ | How could I change the keyboard layout to Dvorak? | 12:32 |
| Smurphy | System settings -> Hardware/Input devices | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:48 |
| kubuntu__ | I am getting confused in kde | 12:54 |
| kubuntu__ | It is much more advanced and complicated than xfce | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | more details kubuntu__ | 12:55 |
| kubuntu__ | Yeah | 12:57 |
| kubuntu__ | For some behaviours in xfce, I had to write scripts to be launched after each login | 12:57 |
| kubuntu__ | But it seems that kde has most of those behaviours builtin and should only be configured in settings | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu__, choose a specific issue and we can go from there | 12:58 |
| FlameReaper-PC | Looks like fcitx-frontend-qt5 gets broken again | 12:59 |
| kubuntu__ | One of the main ones was converting CapsLock to additional Backspace | 12:59 |
| kubuntu__ | And then make "pressing both shifts together as new CapsLock" | 12:59 |
| acheronuk | kubuntu__: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/keyboard/index.html | 13:01 |
| kubuntu__ | kde5 has both these features available in Settings -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Advanced | 13:01 |
| acheronuk | FlameReaper-PC: broken how? | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu__, do you have a question or are you here just to do a commentary | 13:01 |
| FlameReaper-PC | acheronuk: Updating to KDE 5.8.4 right now | 13:02 |
| FlameReaper-PC | and one of the packages listed to be removed was fcitx-frontend-qt5 | 13:02 |
| kubuntu__ | BluesKaj: It was my question minutes ago, but I found the solution | 13:02 |
| acheronuk | FlameReaper-PC: let me see if I can fix that | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu__, next time put it in the form of a question | 13:04 |
| FlameReaper-PC | acheronuk: thanks! | 13:05 |
| acheronuk | FlameReaper-PC: See: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+packages?field.name_filter=fci&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter= | 13:06 |
| acheronuk | FlameReaper-PC: when that goes from pending to published, and the build status to a green tick, please try the package again | 13:07 |
| acheronuk | after doing a 'sudo apt update' or equivalent via a GUI etc | 13:07 |
| FlameReaper-PC | thanks, will test that after the machine finishes updating | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | FlameReaper-PC, backports ? | 13:11 |

| kubuntu__ | BluesKaj: Can I ask some more questions? How could I have a vertical panel to put notifications on it vertically? | 13:19 |
| kubuntu__ | I want to keep the main horizontal panel below the screen as empty as possible for window handles to fill | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu__, right click on the main panel>panel options>panel settings>more settings | 13:26 |
| kubuntu__ | But I want to add a new panel in addition to the current one | 13:41 |
| kubuntu__ | Ok I found it | 13:43 |
| kubuntu__ | I have another problem too | 13:57 |
| kubuntu__ | When I add a vertical panel, the right side of windows go behind that panel | 13:58 |

| kubuntu__ | See | 14:00 |
| kubuntu__ | https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/BQih | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | look for "always visible" in "more settings" after right clicking on that panel and choosing panel options | 14:01 |

| k_j | the latest | 18:40 |
| k_j | 16.10 i guess | 18:40 |
| lauritzt[m] | Looks like it's 6.1.1-1 | 18:41 |
| renn0xtk9 | What is the status of kubuntu ? I mean I stopped to follow the story when A guy whas kicked out of Ubuntu Council and some people meant it would slowly be the end of Kubuntu, tha they would not realisticallty be able to ship any new version. Has someone mor hints on that? | 18:41 |

| renn0xtk9 | BluesKaj, don't remember his name .. But if the connection is broken will it not make it harder to make releases, and lts support and stuffs?

| Crell | Hi folks. I'm on a fresh install of 16.10. One of my apps, Choqok (the twitter client) is asking to open kdewallet and wants a password. I know I'm giving it the right password because I JUST set the password for the first time 100 seconds ago. Yet it's claiming it doesn't have access and I'm giving it the wrong password. Even if I tell it to not use kdewallet, same error. | 20:04 |
| Crell | Any suggestions? | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | Crell, disable wallet manager in system settings>account destails >KDE Wallet | 20:09 |
| Crell | Just kill it entirely? Why's it even there if it shouldn't be used? :-) | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | some use it, some don't need it ...depends on your type od computing, most enterprise/office situations require extra security ...being a home user I don't bothe with it. | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | bother | 20:13 |
| Crell | I'm a work-from-home user so my content is highly mixed. Nothing extra sensitive, though. | 20:13 |
| Crell | Unrelated: Didn't Akoandi used to have a GUI? Everything I'm finding on how to set it up so that KMail starts properly says to manually create databases and edit files in hidden directories. | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | PIm is another package group i don't use....sorry I'm not much there either | 20:17 |
| Crell | Drat. | 20:17 |
| Crell | I keep trying KMail every few years when I upgrade/reinstall, and it's always too much of a PITA to get me to move away from Thunderbird. | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | Crell, you could ask in #kde | 20:18 |
| Crell | It's always difficult to tell which channel to ask in. Half the time I get told to go to the other one, regardless of which I'm in. :-) | 20:19 |
| Crell | Oh good. And KMail insists on having KWallet. | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I drank the gmail kool ade long ago | 20:19 |
| Crell | I hate their UI. | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | t-bird works well tho | 20:20 |
| Crell | Yeah, it's just the only gecko thing I use. And I could never get it to use a non-Firefox as a browser when clicking links. :-) | 20:21 |
