R13oseHi10:23
R13oseI have a small panel on the left side of the screen that is hiddeb but pops up and stays up on and off and want to stop that.  How do I do that?10:24
MrokiiR13ose: you can right click on it over an empty area. There should be a menu "Panel options/Panel Settings". If you choose that, another panel should open with a "More Settings"-Button at the bottom. There you can chose if you want to have make the panel always visible.10:36
MrokiiR13ose: Could be that "Auto Hide" is enabled for you. Hope this helps.10:37
R13oseThanks.  My question was more how do I stop thia from popping up?  I only want this to pop up if I hover over the area.10:38
MrokiiHi all. I have a question. I'm using KDE connect to sync my Android device with my desktop. So far, I have successfully tested file transfers and clipboard-sharing. Supposedly one can also type text on the desktop-system to be used in chat-apps on Android, but that doesn't work for me. I get a notification with some text and "Click to edit text". But when I click on that notification, nothing happens. What10:41
Mrokiiam I doing wrong?10:41
R13oseWhat is KDE Connect?10:42
R13oseMrokii: what app are you trying to do that in?10:43
MrokiiR13ose: A combination of apps. One is running on the Kubuntu-desktop, the other on an Android device. It can be used to sync clipboards between both systems, send files from one to the other and some other functions I haven't tested yet. But one I would really like to use is the ability to type text on my regular keyboard on my desk to be sent to chat apps on Android.10:44
MrokiiR13ose: Doesn't matter which apps I'm trying to make it work, the notification I get on the desktop doesn't seem to react in the way it should, if I understand it correctly. But it never does anything for me, no matter what chat app I am trying to use on Android.10:45

thibaultmolHi, There is still an issue in Kubuntu 16.04 where nouveau fails to load on GTx 10-seris graphics cards from nvidia10:49
thibaultmolThere is a workaround, but that's not great for new users who want to try it out10:50
thibaultmolI found this bug on the ubuntu bugtackers10:50

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1602340 in linux (Ubuntu Xenial) "nouveau: boot hangs at blank screen with unsupported graphics cards" [High,Fix released]10:50
thibaultmolhow can I check if that fix has been applied for kubuntu?10:50
R13oseMrokii: unsure as I have searched for answer10:55

clivejoMrokii: regarding replying to texts on desktop system, you have to be using the stock messaging app otherwise it doesnt allow you to replay11:59
fauxalliancepushbullet?12:05
Mrokiiclivejo: Okay, thanks.12:24
Mrokiiclivejo: I am not suing the stock messaging app. But the funny thing is that I still get the popup on the desktop, no matter which app I open.12:25
clivejoyou will get the popup, just will do nothing when you try to reply12:26
Mrokiiclivejo: Yep, that's exactly what happens.12:26
clivejoif you change the default messaging app back to the stock app, it will work12:27
clivejoand is very handy!12:27
MrokiiI guess, but that's no option for me. I like the additional functions of the messaging app I use.12:27
clivejoDefault Messaging app has to be : Messaging12:28
clivejothen at the moment you won't be able to reply via your desktop12:28
Mrokiiyeah, seems so. Oh well, at least I know what the problem is.12:29
clivejoI was using Hangouts12:29
MrokiiThanks.12:29
clivejobut have gone back to using messaging as this feature is more useful for my way of working12:29
clivejoso much quicker and easier to type replies on my computer12:30
MrokiiMaybe I'll try it out.12:36

ToastKDE Partition Manager seems to crash after applying actions (in a way which can damage data) on the last LTS release. Is the more recent normal release, or the beta of the next release any better?14:01
rossier_I constantly get this message in dmesg : Feb 22 06:50:05 a21nb01 kernel: [   71.396430] [drm:drm_mode_addfb2] [FB:60]14:05
rossier_any idea about what it is ?14:05

BluesKajToast, unless you're a pure kde fan then install gparted14:07
=== helium-3 is now known as dilfridge
ToastBluesKaj: I did, but it doesn't seem to let you control exactly where the partitions start and end. I've mirrored a HDD to an SSD and want to align the partitions onto 8192 boundaries.14:21
=== kubuntu is now known as Platzhalter
BluesKajToast, resize option should have align setting in the popup14:25
ToastBluesKaj: I would have needed to move everything up to MB boundaries, but I guess that's not such a big deal.14:27
BluesKajToast, i normally don't have many mbs left over after resizing with gparted, it's usually close  or perfectly aligned14:31
ToastThanks. I'm giving it a go now. Fortunately I took an image of everything before trying KDE partition manager, otherwise I would have lost data.14:32
Toastgparted also crashed. Seems like it's parted that's at the root of the problem :(14:46
BluesKajToast,  ahh, maybe an update/upgrade is in order15:10
ToastI seemed to get somewhere using gparted, but it came up with offsets I didn't like. Still, I'm trying things to see if it worked. I removed some partitions whilst I was there and it killed grub, so I've got some fixing to do.15:11
BluesKajToast, after fixing the parttions reinstall grub at the vt/tty15:13

BluesKajToast, UEFI? If so I'm not much help..this old pc is BIOS and I wiped my laptop and installed msdos table ..no time to muck abouit with gtp and uefi15:15
BluesKajto my chagrin i found out later that uefi/boot isn't difficult after consulting with a few users in the know15:16
ToastBluesKaj: This laptop is too old for UEFI.15:25
BluesKajok, then it should be much simpler to set your partitions etc15:26
ToastIt's dual boot window/linux. I want to get the windows bit working first (I don;t have re-install disks for that either). Linux, I'm moving that from Kubuntu to Lubuntu because KDE seems to demand more modern graphics hardware than this machine has available.15:26
ToastIf I had the windows install disks, I would have just started from scratch rather than this whole image / resize dance.15:27
ToastAll whilst trying to help with my Son's homework...15:28
BluesKajToast, do you have boot repair ?15:28
BluesKajit's a good disc to have around15:29
ToastBluesKaj: Not yet. May grab it when I get a chance. Thanks for the reminder.15:35
