[01:05] VulcanJedi: facebook no longer allows connections outside their own apps [01:06] evidently some other messaging apps can still use it using old APIs or something [01:09] i guess that shouldn't surprise me [01:26] AOL reborn === Jorgehn is now known as Jorgehn79 === Guest24223 is now known as himcesjf [05:44] Anyone know for what reason my machine says I am out of disk space even though I should have HEAPS left.

What Kubuntu version? [10:03] anyone ever built a custom iso using live-build before? === morgan_ is now known as yossarianuk [10:34] hi - using plasma 5.8.x - how can I change pidgin notification volume ? [10:38] i.e when I get a notication I can see the volume in the application volume in 'audio volume' however as soon as the sound finishes I cannot see it any longer and when another sound occurs it goes to the default one [10:38] *default volume* [11:20] yossarianuk, have you tried turning down system notification volume in the volume settings? [11:25] I don't think pigin counts as system notification... [11:26] I asked in #kde and they recommend commenting 'flat-volume = no' [11:26] i think it's systemwide notifications, not necessarily ubuntu's notifications [11:27] ok cheers [11:28] good luck [11:28] thanks [11:30] I have the sound 'frankly my dear I don't give a damn' (gone with the wind) as my msg notification which was funny until I had a hr long conversation with someone... Also my laptop is providing the radio for the room... (hence me wanting to change the volume..) [11:38] indeed [11:39] i'm not fully setup on kde just yet, so if the notification volume doesn't solve it, i will end up seeking the same info [11:40] i don't need any pidgin notification interrupting my jams [11:54] ok - fairly major issue... I have dual screen - if I try to use the right click menu on the right screen (i.e using dolphin) on an icon near the right of the screen the right click menu doesn't open [11:54] however if I do the same on primary screen the right click menu opens to the left- [11:55] i.e I cannot use right click menu unless I drag the icon to the left of the screen on the right monitor - its like it cant open as its trying to open to the right but its the screen edge... [11:56] sorry - I dont mean the inital right click menu - i mean the sub menu - i.e right click on icon -> open-with (for example) [11:56] really annoying [11:58] if I hover over (for exmaple) open-with -> nothing happens I see no sub menu unless I drag the dolphin screen over to the left of the screen [12:04] Hi folks === zak is now known as Guest42007 [15:51] hi, can someone tell me the name of the app which is similar to OS X Mission Controll?

[16:27] KurousagiMK2, I can help with activities and VDs idf you have questions about them...posting urls to show your issues is not good practice until after you've stated your problem [16:33] ‎General_Martok asked "hi, can someone tell me the name of the app which is similar to OS X Mission Controll?"

[16:36] General_Martok, use the icon only taskmanager [16:36] for the panel [16:38] sry that doesn't help me [16:38] i wouldn't like that muchclutter on my desktop, but to each his own [16:39] please tell what you wantto do instead of posting pictures of desktops [16:39] the idea is to put the function on the middle mouse button to have an overview/preview of all open Windows/apps [16:43] 'resent windows' maybe the desktop affect you want? [16:44] can have that set to trigger via moving cursor to a particular corner, or certain key combination I think [16:45] if thats the name maybe, i have german Kubuntu und don't find "recent windows" [16:45] "Present Windows" http://imgur.com/a/iheJ7 [16:46] it's in desktop effects [16:46] thats it, yes [16:46] in system settings [16:48] thats it [16:48] thx [16:48] not sure if you can bins to the middle key by default, but in linux there are some programs or settings that you can use to reassign mouse button mappings etc, and/or assign them to be equivalent to a series of key presses [16:48] long time since I tried that though..... [16:48] s/bins/bind [16:51] ok [16:53] thank you, i have put it in a corner und will search for a solution for the middle mouse button === lethu_ is now known as lethu [18:13] can anyone suggest a method for input of chinese?

[18:21] yeah that's not actually helpful, really [18:22] it doesn't seem that fcitx, ibus, or uim are installed [18:23] i'm not sure any input manager is === h is now known as Guest13841 [19:00] hi [19:00] I upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10, and now my system has trouble resolving address names... how can I diagnose this [19:00] ?
