[00:02] <steve__> No, thank you for the suggestion, it was worth a try.
[00:03] <steve__> The mouse settings though, those are a killer. I can live with the lack of proper multi monitor support, but he mouse.
[00:04] <steve__> I wonder if anyone uses the default mouse settings.
[00:04] <steve__> They would be awesome at 640x480 :-)
[00:05] <valorie> hmm, I only occasionally use a mouse, and it always works fine
[00:05] <valorie> usually just use the touchpad
[00:06] <steve__> That might be different, not sure. The mouse was working fine With Plasma 5.8.x  and all the way down to whatever Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ships with.
[00:07] <valorie> weird
[00:07]  * valorie goes off to eat dinner

[06:14] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:34] <Duiker101> hey guys, I have a logitech g930 headset, it works very well on ubuntu but if I switch desktop enviroment to plasma it stops working. It's still listed as a device but just doesn't reproduce. Any ideas?
[09:40] <Tottel> Yo guys, I got my notifications position in the top centre of the screen, tho if I get multiple notifications and it stacks downwards, the position kind of changes to the middle of the screen untill I relog. I'm getting all new not's in the middle of the screen after that. Can this be resvoled somehow?
[09:42] <yossarianuk> hi - I have just bought a new GPU (1060) it works great in DVI mode, however if I use in HDMI i my monitior SDDM and KDE the text is insanely large and xrandr thinks the monitor is a lot smaller that it is
[09:42] <yossarianuk> could this be a cable issue ?
[09:43] <yossarianuk> I also noticed in gnome the text scaling actually works but detects the monitor as a 7 inch monitor rather than 22 inch in DVI
[09:44] <yossarianuk> The same thing occured with my old card (450) - is this a Linux/software issue, a monitor issue (monitor is fairly old but does 1080p) or might it be a cable issue >?
[10:23] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:16] <sgfk> hello, all of the kde appliactions, system settings, dolphin, etc are unresponsive after moving my computer. does anyone have any idea what this might be? Chrome/skype are working reasonably well and the 'start' menu also seems good
[11:19] <BluesKaj> sgfk, moving your computer shouldn't affect your system settings unless you had a change in updates/upgrades or hardware.
[11:22] <sgfk> hm, i figured so. it must be a hardware thing. if so, this is the wrong place to ask and troubleshoot?
[11:47] <Preppie> Hey guys
[11:47] <Preppie> How do I turn off the sound played when I change the volume?
[11:48] <Preppie> I couldn't find it in the settings anywhere
[11:49] <hateball> I dont think there even is a sound by default
[11:49] <hateball> Preppie: Are you talking about the volume applet?
[11:49] <hateball> Or is this inside some application
[11:49] <Preppie> Yep
[11:49] <Preppie> Volume Applet
[11:49] <Preppie> That blip sound you get when you turn the volume up or down
[11:50] <Preppie> I want to turn that off
[11:51] <Preppie> I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 KDE by the way
[11:51] <Preppie> Plasma 5.8.5
[11:53] <BluesKaj> !mint'
[11:53] <BluesKaj> !mint
[11:53] <Preppie> Ok
[11:55] <BluesKaj> Preppie, but try system settings>notifications>Multimedia in the drop down . then disable sounds,,,,button
[11:58] <ibliss> !JeanMp3 Bande à Part - 20 - 03 - My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the black parade.mp3
[11:59] <Preppie> The only item in the list is Audio Output Device Changed so I don't think it would make much sense to disable sounds there
[11:59] <Preppie> I'll look around a bit
[12:02] <Preppie> Found it. Right-click sound icon > Audio Volume Settings > Volume Feedback
[12:03] <Preppie> ^^ In case anyone else has the same problem
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Preppie, no such dialog on kubuntru,
[12:07] <Preppie> Oh! I thought Mint KDE and Kubuntu would be quite similar
[12:07] <BluesKaj> better check with  #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[12:24] <user|9672> Hello, I want to set up linux on fujitsu AH530... Whether anyone can recomend me something about this, I'll be very glad.
[12:25] <hateball> user|9672: Does the installation not work?
[12:26] <user|9672> I have never tryed Linux and I just want to start.
[12:28] <hateball> user|9672: Well it's not really much to it. Download the Kubuntu ISO, burn to media of choice, and then boot it up
[12:28] <hateball> user|9672: And then you can see if your hardware works as expected without installing first
[14:56] <flo_> hello to everyone. i'm using kubuntu 17.04 and i'm triyng to use the global menu but every time i start atom text editor the cpu goes up to 60 % of use. is there any way i can blacklist atom?

[17:11] <remi__> hello. Do you know why the "show desktop grid" in kwin would stop working? I have checked the shortcut, uninstalled video drivers, reinstalled... It also breaks functionality in latte dock. Kwin seems fine otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[17:18] <BluesKaj> remi__, system settings>desktop behaviour>desktop effects>window management
[17:19] <BluesKaj> oops sorry remi__ I thought you meant it was missing ..nevermind
[17:21] <remi__> BluesKaj: no it's there, and the box is ticked. Thanks for taking the time though.
[17:22] <BluesKaj> remi__, which plasma version ?
[17:23] <remi__> BluesKaj: Kubuntu 16.10 Plasma 5.8.5 Kde Frameworks 5.28.0
[17:24] <remi__> I use the kubuntu backports repository because I wanted to use Latte Dock. It worked fine for a while.
[17:24] <BluesKaj> hmm, did you install the frameworks ppa or other staging ppas?
[17:26] <remi__> BluesKaj: only the backport ppa
[17:26] <remi__> but it worked for like a week before I couldn't use "desktop grid" anymore
[17:27] <remi__> I'm trying to find a kwin log right now
[17:31] <remi__> kwin iz ded, I will be back
[18:06] <remi__> BluesKaj: I changed the rendering backend from opengl 2 to 3.1 in the compositor option window. It's fixed. Still don't know what caused it, but hey...
[18:06] <BluesKaj> remi__, good to hear  ;-)
[18:08] <remi__> BluesKaj: :)
[18:19] <prospective> anyone here using kubuntu as their primary desktop OS?
[18:20] <BluesKaj> prospective, most users here do
[18:21] <prospective> would you recommend 17.04, or 16.10? about to set up a dual boot
[18:23] <BluesKaj> prospective, is this a production/on the job machine or a home user?
[18:23] <prospective> home. I've had issues with nvidia drivers, requiring me to boot with the 'nomodeset' option as well.
[18:24] <BluesKaj> prospective, 17.04 will be released in a month or so , it's still in beta , so expect breakage
[18:24] <prospective> can you update from beta to release w/o reinstall?
[18:24] <BluesKaj> prospective, yes
[18:26] <prospective> excellent. any progress on nvidia drivers? can I easily install proprietary now? nouveau performance is awful on 9-series and up.
[18:27] <BluesKaj> prospective, I see , I run a 8400GS without any trouble on my media pc
[18:28] <BluesKaj> not a gamer
[18:28] <prospective> I suppose it shouldn't matter if I'm dual booting, but I like pushing linux for benchmarks, games are a great way to do that
[18:29] <BluesKaj> well, it's your call :-)
[18:29] <prospective> thanks!
[18:30] <BluesKaj> bbiab, need to check por post/mail

[20:54] <robotics_flo> hello to everyone. i just installed kubuntu on a chuwi lapbook 14 and everithing works like a charm except the touchpad wich is detected as a mouse. everything works even gestures but it isn't disabled during typing so i get random clicks because of that. can someone help me
[21:21] <Rickyroller5> So I upgraded my Kubuntu 15.04, and now Youtube videos will not play. Suggestions?
[21:28] <valorie> Rickyroller5: 15.04 is EOL
[21:28] <valorie> !eol
[21:28] <valorie> I suggest a more up-to-date install, or upgrade, upgrad, upgrade
[21:28] <valorie> to 16.04 which is LTS
[21:32] <robotics_flo> hello . i'm using kde plasma 5.9.4 and when i try to use global menu with atom text editor the cpu gows up to 60% of ussage. is there any way i can blaclist atom from global menu?
[21:32] <valorie> what is the atom editor?
[21:32] <Rickyroller5> Thx, I think I will do that.
[21:33] <valorie> ok, looked it up, robotics_flo
[21:33] <valorie> any reason you want that one?
[21:34] <valorie> I'm not sure what you mean by "global menu" either
[21:35] <valorie> robotics_flo: ?
[21:35] <valorie> crossposting makes those of us who try to help quite cross
[21:36] <robotics_flo> @valorie it is the men integrated in the panel instead of the app window. i've been a long time unity user and i just got used to it
[21:36] <robotics_flo> sorry for cross posting
[21:37] <valorie> so are you using Kubuntu, or?
[21:37] <robotics_flo> i tried neon and just loved it. i get better performance but because of my laptop i need kernel 4.10 so im on kubuntu 17.04
[21:38] <valorie> I know there has been talk of a global menu in plasma, but afaik there is not one yet
[21:38] <valorie> ok
[21:38]  * valorie is also on 17.04
[21:38] <valorie> perhaps we should stay in #ubuntu+1
[21:39] <robotics_flo> so much for cross posting....i'm going to #ubuntu+1
[21:39] <valorie> heh
[22:54] <rainblo> a
[22:54] <rainblo> ok i am having a consistent hw device conflict  in debian/ubuntu, and am wondering if someone might be able to help me figure out how to stop 2 audio devices from being loaded on boot in kubuntu 14.04 ... please
[22:55] <valorie> in Kubuntu?
[22:55] <rainblo> yeah
[22:55] <valorie> seems like you should be able to set that up in systemsettings
[22:55] <rainblo> it seems like what i want to do is simple but i cant for the life d me figure it out .. . kind of a linux beginner
[22:56] <valorie> I would press alt+space
[22:56] <valorie> and type audio
[22:56] <valorie> and see what is presented
[22:56] <valorie> systemsettings for audio should be at the top of the list
[22:57] <rainblo> ah i did that but it keeps reseting back to the onboard hdmi
[22:57] <rainblo> my whole problem is  i have 3 audio devices 2 onboard 1 on a gpu and there conflicting / causing performance issues :S
[22:58] <valorie> well, I hope some of the folks here who know all about audio devices will chime in
[22:58] <rainblo> and bios provides a way to turn off hdmi support but it doesnt do anything
[22:59] <valorie> !audio
[22:59] <valorie> those might help
[22:59] <valorie> there is a pulseaudio widget that some use which helps
[22:59] <rainblo> ive been through probably 100 pages and still cant get this working ive been at it for maybe 3 days solo
[23:00] <valorie> but darn if I can remember the name
[23:00] <valorie> sec
[23:00] <rainblo> tried several different distros and everytime its the same problems
[23:01] <rainblo> my audio does play it plays well but causes the whole pc to start freezing with it not running i get some lag but not the same magnitude
[23:01] <valorie> I assume you dug into the options in the audio volume widget?
[23:02] <rainblo> yeah i have even considered rewriting the dsdt
[23:03] <valorie> pulseaudio should do what you want
[23:03] <valorie> if not pulse, then the alsa layer
[23:03] <valorie> from the commandline
[23:05] <rainblo> i have tried both
[23:05] <valorie> :(
[23:05] <rainblo> but the two devices are i think? linked somehow inbios or kernel
[23:05] <valorie> then you might have to descend to the modprobe layer
[23:05] <valorie> geez, haven't had to go there for years
[23:06] <rainblo> this is a really old board
[23:06] <rainblo> amd sb690
[23:06] <rainblo> chipset
[23:06] <valorie> then you might have to use modprobe
[23:06] <valorie> those links above will lead there
[23:06] <valorie> I've done it and survived
[23:07] <rainblo> yeah i think your right i just dont know my way around gnu im a win guy  usually
[23:09] <valorie> well, it's no worse than the crap windows forced me to do back in the day
[23:09] <rainblo> so quick question if i know the driver name and i know the bus / irq info is this simple to do?
[23:09] <valorie> sure
[23:09] <rainblo> im scared lmao
[23:09] <valorie> if you know your way around the commandline, and follow the directions
[23:09] <valorie> it Just Works
[23:10] <valorie> don't just randomly google though -- use those ubuntu help pages
[23:11] <rainblo> i mean i can see with dmesg that snd_hda_intel is loaded so is nvidia hdmi and realtek ALC883 but i only want alc883 @.@
[23:14] <valorie> that doesn't sound quite right
[23:14] <valorie> but I'm no expert
[23:14] <rainblo> basically lsmod is telling me snd                    81920  21 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_devic
[23:14] <valorie> unless you have a dual chip system
[23:15] <valorie> I"m sorry nobody expert is stepping up
[23:15] <rainblo> no worries
[23:16] <rainblo> i was just casting a line see if anyone knows anything i been at this for awhile now and every os is the same windows or linux
[23:17] <rainblo> lol i have litterally tried win 7 8 xp 10 manjaro all debian distros and ubuntu
[23:17] <valorie> wow
[23:18] <rainblo> yeah its damn near insane
[23:18] <rainblo> lol ^..^
[23:19] <rainblo> same exact issuee on each one too the pc runs well enough for what it is then i try to play audio and blammo cpu 100% ram 100% and just straight lag everywhere even the mouse skips
[23:19] <genii> Are you trying to run a realtime kernel doing this or something?
[23:20] <rainblo> not that i know of
[23:20] <rainblo> but this issue shows on win too
[23:21] <rainblo> uname shows this Linux lubuntu 4.4.0-70-generic #91~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP
[23:22] <rainblo> is that a realtime kernel :o?
[23:23] <rainblo> see right now i have like 10 tabs open system monitor open and im running a cpuburn with no lag but if i go and play an audio file? thats wher it gets shitty....
[23:25] <rainblo> mind boggling for sure
[23:29] <rainblo> thanks for  the link btw i think i m,ight have figured out a direction to head in aparently i have run the cmd aplay -l and it gave an odd error not listed on that site so i guesss im back to google to figure this out
[23:30] <rainblo> anyone ever see this? "No protocol specified xcb_connection_has_error() returned true card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]   Subdevices: 1/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA N
[23:33] <valorie> no protocol specified -- doesn't sound good
[23:33] <rainblo> yeah google is giving me very little info on this too
[23:34] <valorie> you might ask in #kde and see if the experts there are any more expert
[23:35] <valorie> OR, look in the arch wikis
[23:35] <rainblo> why does my graphics card have 4 hdmi devices in the first damn place -.- and how how i ask you does a motherboard have 2 onboard audio blargh.....
[23:35] <valorie> their wiki for stuff like this are often superb
[23:36] <rainblo> i curse asus for this lol but ima give up i guess
[23:36] <rainblo> take care and thanks for listening to my rambling :)
