[00:27] <user|96279> Hi, i have a question, what is the difference between a LTS Version ? I hope you understand me :)
[00:28] <user|96279> Should i download Kubuntu 16.10 or the LTS Version?
[00:29] <valorie> user|96279: that depends on how often you like to upgrade
[00:30] <valorie> LTS is good if you want stability, and only upgrade only 2 or 4 years or so
[00:30] <dax> LTS is supported for 5 years, non-LTS are... 9 months now i think?
[00:30] <valorie> regular releases are supported for 9 months
[00:30] <valorie> so basically you would want to upgrade every 6 months
[00:31] <valorie> we try to backport what we can to the LTS, but not everything can be
[00:31] <valorie> security updates are always done of course
[00:31] <user|96279> i gues i want upgrade regulary
[00:32] <user|96279> So I should download the LTS Version?
[00:33] <user|96279> Thank you for the support :)
[05:52] <efloid> hi, wondering if there's a focus policy where focus is under mouse but focused window does not automatically raise?
[05:53] <efloid> so there is option "click raises active window" which should mean that the window should raise only when clicked, but I can't get this behavior.
[05:56] <efloid> windows always raise when focused :-(
[06:09] <sintre> efloid not sure exactly what you want
[06:10] <sintre> if you can try to explain the affect better i can try to mimick it

[16:26] <erreere> hello
[16:27] <erreere> how to change the size of the icons/text in the Menu ? The menu that appears when we click on the "K" button
[16:29] <BluesKaj> erreere, kmenu>system-settings>icons>icons>advanced tab>size
[16:33] <erreere> BluesKaj: I change where u said, but the icons in the Menu don't seem to change
[16:34] <erreere> And the text besides should be automatically adapted according to the size of the icons ?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> dunno, never changed the menu icons
[16:37] <erreere> I just found I can change from Launcher to Menu or the App Board :-)
[16:41] <BluesKaj> I use a large monitor so the kmenu icons and text are exactly right
[16:42] <BluesKaj> erreere, it's also probly affected by your font size settings in the system-settings>Fonts>adjust all fonts
[16:43] <BluesKaj> and your fonts dpi setting below that
[16:45] <erreere> BluesKaj: u r right
[16:46] <erreere> I tried

[21:57] <sintre> i use 16.04 with backports
[21:57] <sintre> i'd try upgrading thru backports
[21:57] <sintre> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[21:57] <sintre> then sudo apt update

[22:23] <krise> i have
[22:23] <krise> works
[22:23] <sintre> never used kmail ,
[22:24] <krise> with 16.04 it worked
[22:24] <sintre> i have some odd kproblems with certain kde progs that won't load as well
[22:24] <sintre> i had alot of problems with 16.10
[22:24] <sintre> installer from the gate , decided just to go to 16.04
[22:25] <[Relic]> couldn't get multihead or wayland working so I went back to 14.04
[22:25] <sintre> everybody is still full steam ahead with next release , be nice to slow some horses down
[22:27] <[Relic]> having multiple independant monitors simply works better for me
[22:27] <sintre> same problem with using my new laptop is with its duel monitor support
[22:28] <sintre> seems a known problem
[22:28] <sintre> :(
[22:28] <sintre> would reall like to hook laptop up to living room tv and use my bluetooth keyboard mouse once and awhile
[22:28] <sintre> on my wish list
[22:29] <[Relic]> can put up to 4 monitors on this card so having one blobl of a screen didn't work for me
[22:29] <sintre> yea i'd be kinda irked there myself
[22:30] <sintre> i just want one to work properly
[22:30] <sintre> and plsma channel is like listening to crickets
[22:30] <sintre> maybe the devels come out when i sleep or something :)
[22:30] <[Relic]> with this I can having irc open here and no matter what virtual desktop is open on the other monitor I can still see it
[22:31] <sintre> yea long way to go on duel monitor support
[22:32] <[Relic]> having things fixed in place while you can switch around others without affecting the whole set up is nice
[22:32] <sintre> currently it can't even clone properly
[22:32] <sintre> not even talking about duel desktops
[22:32] <[Relic]> now I just need  abracket for the 2 other monitors
[22:33] <valorie> #plasma is very busy in euro-work hours
[22:35] <[Relic]> so sleep time US
[22:35] <sintre> yea 5 am kinda of hard to drag myself to computer
[22:37] <[Relic]> and no replies on the forum is annoying too
[22:38] <sintre> windows xp has better duel onitor support atm , and thats been retired for some 4 years
[22:38] <sintre> seems like alot of people are just ignoring it
[22:41] <valorie> multi-monitor support is a Qt problem, and there are loads of bug reports to Qt about it
[22:41] <valorie> they are fixing them one bit at a time
