| ducasse | good morning all | 06:57 |
|---|---|---|
| lordievader | Good morning, happy new year! | 08:20 |
| ducasse | happy new year, lordievader - best wishes for the new one :) | 08:30 |
| BluesKaj | hi ducasse... insomnia here | 08:31 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: hi, that sucks - i've had insomnia for most of my life. | 08:32 |
| BluesKaj | I suppose it doesn't matter much ..I can sleep in later or have a nap this aft, or both :-) | 08:34 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: naps are good, i find as i get older :) | 08:36 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 08:37 |
| ducasse | after i got my new desk, my cat discovered she can sleep between the keyboard and the screen, so now i've got company most of the time i'm at my computer :) | 08:38 |
| BluesKaj | :-) | 08:40 |
| ducasse | now i'm looking at monitor arms for three screens, they're actually not that expensive. only problem is that two of the screens have buttons on the right-hand side. | 08:41 |
| BluesKaj | I'm having fewer problems with 17.04 dev Kubuntu than 16,10 which has window manager/kwin crashes, due to using the newer plasma desktop | 08:43 |
| ducasse | yes, i heard the plasma packages were bad. any other nice things in zesty? | 08:46 |
| lordievader | Hey ducasse, same to you ;) | 08:46 |
| lordievader | Hey BluesKaj | 08:46 |
| BluesKaj | Hi lordievader | 08:47 |
| lordievader | Best wishes! | 08:47 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, Happy New Year ! | 08:48 |
| lordievader | How are you doing? | 08:49 |
| BluesKaj | ok here, and you? | 08:50 |
| lordievader | Doing good, bit tired but I do have a cup of coffee... the second. | 08:52 |
| ducasse | chai here today, considering getting my third cup :) | 08:53 |
| lordievader | ducasse: What is stopping you ;) | 08:54 |
| BluesKaj | zesty with plasma 5.4.3 is running fine here, btw | 09:03 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: have you used the kde connect android-thingy? | 09:44 |
| lordievader | I have :) | 09:46 |
| lordievader | It is quite nice. | 09:46 |
| ducasse | it can give you notifications etc, right? | 09:46 |
| lordievader | Yes, both ways appearently. | 09:47 |
| ducasse | nice. does it connect over bluetooth or usb? | 09:47 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, yes, it worked earlier, but now the connection is iffy, my cheap phone's OS being an early version | 09:47 |
| lordievader | Wifi | 09:47 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 09:47 |
| lordievader | Your phone and the pc running KDE connect needs to be on the same network. | 09:48 |
| lordievader | A firewall can be a pita. | 09:48 |
| ducasse | aha. i've got to test this out, then. i've been missing proper android integration. | 09:48 |
| ducasse | i only need this at home, so not a problem. | 09:48 |
| lordievader | The feature of pausing the music for a phone call is quite nice. | 09:49 |
| lordievader | Though it still confuses me at times. "Huh why did the music pause?" | 09:49 |
| BluesKaj | kde connect works sometimes and sometimes not, it gets confused by more than one linux OS at the same IP | 09:50 |
| BluesKaj | and my phone is just a low end alcatel one touch | 09:51 |
| ducasse | well, it's still better than what i have now, which is basically nothing beyond mtp connectivity. | 09:51 |
| ducasse | my phone is a cheap lg, but actually got marshmallow this fall. | 09:52 |
| BluesKaj | kde connect worked well enough at first to transfer my pictures folder from the pc to the phone. | 09:54 |
| lordievader | Nice thing about it is that it works network independent. If both machines are on a different wifi network (the same work wifi for example) it works just fine ;) | 09:55 |
| BluesKaj | different IPS yes, then it's fine but dual booting from one pc with different hostnames, but the same IP makes for unpredictable connectivity...my laptop connects ok | 09:59 |
| BluesKaj | no dual booting on the laptop | 10:00 |
| ducasse | none of my machines dual boot, alternative installs are either in containers or virtual machines. | 10:02 |
| ducasse | but thanks for the info, guys, i'll install it and take a look. :) | 10:05 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, in your case it should work ok | 10:19 |
| BluesKaj | well, gonna get some more sleep...bbl | 10:24 |
