[01:33] <Azure_Chaos> so how is kde now in 16.04? is it still broken
[01:36] <Snowhog> Azure_Chaos: That's a subjective question. I have absolutely no issues with my 16.04 installation, either on my HP 64-bit laptop, or in the Oracle Virtualbox VM I have on my iMac.
[01:38] <Azure_Chaos> Ok well i had to switch to debian about 5 months ago because all i got was freezes and crashes on 16.04. Thats why i asked kde is the only desktop i like to use so it was a problem.
[01:41] <Snowhog> Whether KDE/Plasma is issue free or not depends entirely on the hardware it's being installed on AND also, and maybe even more importantly, HOW the OS was installed: New installation with formatted partitions, or version upgraded keeping the home partition intact. Just to many variables.
[01:43] <Azure_Chaos> Yea i have nvidia and didnt have problems with 14.04 but as soon as i upgraded to kde 5 and 16.04 problem city. i wanted ot move back but itd be poinless if it was still messed up.
[01:47] <valorie> Azure_Chaos: one way to find out: try with live USB
[01:50] <Azure_Chaos> good idea i didnt think of that ill try it thanks
[01:58] <ussher_> something went wrong everything froze.  Rebooted to see a "Buffer I/O error on dev sdc, logical block 0, async page read" after ever message during boot up.
[01:58] <ussher_> cant access terminal because the messages wont stop.
[01:58] <ussher_> any idea on how to fix?
[01:59] <ussher_> actually terminal seams to be working, just gets lost amongst the messages
[02:06] <ussher_> guessing drive failure.
[02:34] <baimejear> Hi, total noob here (is that phrase still used?) but i'm trying to install kubuntu on my pc, I downloaded it from the website, but I don't see any executable files, what am I doing wrong?
[02:34] <sintre> its a iso
[02:35] <sintre> meaning it needs to be installed to media usb drive or a dvd
[02:35] <sintre> i assume you in windows?
[02:35] <sintre> https://rufus.akeo.ie/
[02:36] <baimejear> yea 8.1, so if I move the files to a jump drive do I just restart the pc with that drive inserted?
[02:36] <sintre> downoad that program
[02:36] <sintre> abd use a usb stick
[02:36] <sintre> then use your boot menu to select usb
[02:36] <sintre> when you restart
[02:36] <baimejear> ok, thank you.
[02:36] <sintre> yw
[02:57] <tomas_> hello
[05:37] <schnoodles> Hey everyone. I am having some space issues on my machine even though I have enough space so trying to remove some stuff. Can I actually remove these files (https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/5151163cc9e5b11f3978cf4628c29462) even though they do not appear to be in synaptic?
[05:38] <schnoodles> I had this issue a while ago as well. Just random input/output errors even though still have space.
[05:39] <sintre> whe is is last time up updated
[05:40] <schnoodles> I update my packages on a daily basis.
[05:40] <sintre> sudo apt full-update  nomrally gets rid of useless packages
[05:42] <schnoodles> Nothing appeared. A;ps checked df to see if it was an INodes problem but that does not seem to be the case either.
[05:42] <schnoodles> Any reason why dpkg -i shows so many linux images?
[05:42] <sintre> no that is wierd
[05:42] <sintre> never seen it on my system
[05:43] <sintre> give me command you used to find that let me check on mine
[05:44] <schnoodles> -- dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[05:45] <sintre> https://thepasteb.in/p/76hElzgzXOBtV
[05:45] <sintre> seems to be on mine as well
[05:46] <sintre> seems nomral i guess
[05:47] <sintre> how muich space are they actually taking up?
[05:48] <schnoodles> Not much at all. I am just trying to solve what could be causing this problem.
[05:48] <sintre> what is the problem space?
[05:48] <sintre> these images or file whatever they are dot seem to be the cause
[05:49] <sintre> i checked another lappy same thing
[05:49] <sintre> that archive of sorts seems to be standard
[05:51] <schnoodles> Yeah seems to be from somewhere else. Ok back to the net to research. Thanks for that.
[05:52] <sintre> np if you figure it out pls let me know
[06:23] <valorie> schnoodles: there is a very cool tool called filelight that lets you look at your drives see what might need clearing out or enlarging
[06:27] <valorie> also if you have loads of old kernels etc you can do in the commandline: `sudo apt clean && sudo apt auto-remove`
[06:50] <schnoodles> Thanks valorie. Yeah Filelight was no help in this instance. Not too sure the problem (seems to be with a particular .git repository) so I did the fix in another to get around it.
[06:58] <valorie> git repo?
[06:58] <valorie> hmmm
[11:57] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks

[14:43] <IrcsomeBot1> VitorLeSantos was added by: VitorLeSantos
[18:01] <Azure_Chaos> Are their plans to update the kubuntu backports repo with the latest kde lts? The current versions pretty bugg right now.
[18:04] <BluesKaj> 16.04 ?
[18:05] <BluesKaj> Azure_Chaos,^
[18:05] <Azure_Chaos> yes
[18:06] <Azure_Chaos> Ive tryed amd and nvidia cards as well it seems like current version is just not working that great and hasnt been for sometime.
[18:07] <BluesKaj> nvidia should work ok as long as yopu choose the recommended driver in system settings>driver manager
[18:09] <Azure_Chaos> yea i have tryed nouvou and the proprietary one as well.
[18:10] <Azure_Chaos> Unless theres something im missing that needs changed.
[18:11] <BluesKaj> which proprietary driver ?
[18:12] <Azure_Chaos> nvidia-361
[18:12] <BluesKaj> what's your gpu?
[18:12] <Azure_Chaos> i have a gtx 730
[18:13] <Azure_Chaos> Processor shouldnt matter but i have a amd fx 8350 as well.
[18:14] <Azure_Chaos> What i have been getting is a lot of random crashes in dolphin and in the settings menu along with plams quit working problems.
[18:14] <BluesKaj> is this an Optimus gpu system on a laptop?
[18:15] <Azure_Chaos> no its a desktop
[18:15] <BluesKaj> but it it Optimuzs dual gpu system
[18:15] <BluesKaj> is it
[18:16] <BluesKaj> or do you swap out 2 cards?
[18:16] <Azure_Chaos> no its not optimus my card is a EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 accidently put the x in before.
[18:17] <Azure_Chaos> And when i tested it i swapped my nvidia one for a amd 5450
[18:17] <Azure_Chaos> to see if that helped but it didnt
[18:17] <BluesKaj> hmm, 361 sound about right for that nvidiacard
[18:18] <Azure_Chaos> 4.12 kde in 14.04 worked flawlessly though before
[18:19] <BluesKaj> Azure_Chaos, I wasn't impressesd with 16.04 and 16.10 isn't bug free either
[18:21] <Azure_Chaos> I agree i relly think kde team is having trouble with kde5 they changed to much to fast from what i gather.
[18:23] <BluesKaj> testing 17.04 beta1 atm and it looks very promising so far, more stable than 16.1o, but if you're on a production machine then I don't what to recommend, but this has been my experience
[18:23] <BluesKaj> know
[18:24] <Azure_Chaos> Yea i need stability i think 16.04 isnt bad if your using another desktop enviroment.But kde just has so many features no other one give you incuding the wallpaper slideshows.
[18:25] <BluesKaj> do you use activities?
[18:26] <Azure_Chaos> No i dont i never really got into that myself
[18:26] <Azure_Chaos> Its be nice if someone forked kde 4.12 that was rock solid.
[18:27] <BluesKaj> it can be setup like VDs used to be with different backgrounds for different activities and applications in each
[18:27] <Azure_Chaos> thats pretty cool
[18:29] <Azure_Chaos> Honestly slideshows and the file association is what i like best about kde. No other desktop has slideshows like theirs and the file association is a mess on other desktops.
[19:32] <comptekki> Hi. I use an external display with kubuntu 17.04 beta 1 and I moved the menu bar from the laptop screen to the external dispaly.  When I unplug the external screen (vi HDMI), the menu bar does not show up on the laptop. Is there a way to do that?
[19:32] <comptekki> So I don't have to manually move panel back and forth?
