[06:17] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:15] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:24] <lordievader> Hey BluesKaj
[11:24] <lordievader> How are you doing?
[11:25] <BluesKaj> hi lordievader , going fine here, and you?
[11:25] <lordievader> Doing good here too.
[11:25] <lordievader> Having some nice weather outside.
[11:27] <BluesKaj> sun is just up, but cloudy forecast
[11:39] <Guest73568> hi...I'm trying to connect to my phone via bluetooth, but I get the message "Connection to the device failed" when I press the connect button
[11:40] <BluesKaj> Guest73568, connect to ?
[11:41] <Guest73568> BluesKaj: I want to connect my desktop to the phone...was trying to use my desktop as a headset :P
[11:44] <BluesKaj> Guest73568, try kdeconnect via wifi , dunno if bluetooth will work, yo'll need kdeconnect on your pc and phone
[11:46] <hateball> kdeconnect doesnt have audio redirection tho
[11:46] <lordievader> Guest73568: Does the pairing fail?
[11:46] <Guest73568> lordievader: it does, dispite it creates the device on the list
[11:47] <Guest73568> BluesKaj: does kdeconnect allow to use the desktop as a headset?
[11:48] <BluesKaj> Guest73568, I don't know for sure
[11:49] <lordievader> Guest73568: No, as hateball already said.
[11:49] <lordievader> Guest73568: On what does the pairing fail?
[11:52] <Guest73568> lordievader: I request pairing from the desktop...search the phone, select it, set manual pin to 0000. Then I just get a window saying "The setup of myphone has failed" with the options to restart the wizard and close
[11:53] <lordievader> Why set the pin maunally?
[11:53] <Guest73568> bacause the default method has huge pins :P
[11:53] <lordievader> Thought at the time my phone showed a code I needed to enter at the laptop, or the other way around.
[11:54] <Guest73568> the same result using that method
[11:55] <lordievader> Guest73568: Hmm, anything in the system log which is more specific than 'it failed'?
[11:57] <Guest73568> nothing on /var/log/syslog...where does it log to, any idea?
[11:58] <hateball> not sure it logs at all
[11:58] <hateball> you could try launching that kcm from a terminal tho, see if it spits anything to stdout
[12:02] <Guest73568> here's what I get https://pastebin.com/00FWxZ5Q
[12:05] <hateball> Guest73568: google gives http://askubuntu.com/questions/440386/bluetoothd-bluez-5-wont-connect-with-any-devices dunno if that's your issue
[12:07] <hateball> hmmm, probably not. 16.04 reports PA 8.0
[12:14] <Guest73568> ok I managed to connect...it was missing pulseaudio-module-bluetooth package
[12:17] <Guest73568> it's paired and connected...now how do I get the call sound on my desktop?
[12:21] <lordievader> I might have done that, or the other way around. Let me check.
[12:23] <lordievader> Yes, I can play music on my phone and head it on my laptop.
[12:24] <lordievader> Guest73568: Do you have pavucontrol installed?
[12:24] <Guest73568> lordievader: yup
[12:25] <lordievader> Guest73568: Okay, what is the output of: pactl list short modules | grep blue
[12:28] <Guest73568> lordievader:  23      module-bluez5-device    path=/org/bluez/hci0/dev_C8_A8_23_55_DE_7B .... among other stuff..guess this is what you're looking for??
[12:30] <lordievader> !pastebin | Guest73568
[12:31] <lordievader> Please pastebin the full output.
[12:34] <Guest73568> lordievader: https://pastebin.com/cWzRQ7JK
[12:35] <lordievader> That looks alright, does your phone show up in the input tab of pavucontrol?
[12:35] <lordievader> (You might have to start some audio first)
[12:38] <Guest73568> lordievader: nop...but it show up on the control tab... the profile is off and I have 2 other options "HSP/HFP" and "A2DP"...which shall I use?
[12:39] <lordievader> I have High Fidelity Capture (A2DP)
[12:57] <dmt_> i was told konversation is feature rich
[12:57] <dmt_> where all all these features/
[13:01] <lordievader> Guest73568: Does it work?
[13:04] <BluesKaj> dmt_, settings>configure konversation
[13:12] <dmt_> BluesKaj:
[13:13] <dmt_> thanks
[13:45] <Guest73568> lordievader: went to eat something...
[13:46] <Guest73568> well it seems that I can get sound from the phone...but can't send any
[13:47] <Guest73568> at least from pavucontrol
[13:47] <Guest73568> going to test it now
[13:48] <Guest73568> shouldn't it show up in kde audio configuration?
[13:49] <factionguru> Morning.
[13:49] <Guest73568> ah it does
[13:50] <factionguru> Does anyone use VM workstation 12 with kubuntu have a strange error msg on bootup about cpufreq_freqonline: Failed to initialize policy for cpu ?
[13:51] <lordievader> Guest73568: That was what you wanted right? Audio from the phone to the laptop? Or did you want to other way around?
[13:51] <Guest73568> lordievader: I can also speak :)
[13:51] <Guest73568> yeahhh!!!
[13:55] <Guest73568> lordievader: , hateball, BluesKaj: thanks a bunch
[14:05] <lordievader> Guest73568: Nice, good to hear.
[15:21] <skrite> hey all
[16:12] <Hubal> Hi
[16:14] <BluesKaj> Hi Hubal
[16:29] <jimjohnson> hello
[16:32] <jimjohnson> is this the right place to ask for help?
[16:32] <jimjohnson> my grandson told me about kubuntu and I dont know how to get it onto my computer
[16:34] <acheronuk> jimjohnson: hi. we have some documentation on installation here: http://docs.kubuntu.org/docs/installation.html
[16:36] <erwan_> ji
[16:36] <erwan_> hi*
[16:37] <erwan_> it's the first time i use KDE
[16:43] <shrini> welcome erwan_
[16:43] <shrini> you will enjoy kde
[16:45] <jimjohnson> thanks for that link acheronuk
[16:45] <jimjohnson> i have downloaded unetbootin
[16:45] <jimjohnson> my grandson says this is better than my windows software
[16:46] <acheronuk> we think so, which is why we make it :)
[16:46] <jimjohnson> does it have internet on it?
[16:47] <jimjohnson> internet explorer I mean
[16:47] <acheronuk> but everyone has their own preferences and way of doing things, so you can test it via a live session from a USB drive/cd and see
[16:48] <acheronuk> jimjohnson: the default browser is Mozilla Firefox. a popular alternative
[16:49] <acheronuk> but other web browsers can be installed.
[16:58] <jimjohnson> what about outlook?
[16:58] <jimjohnson> i get my email there
[17:29] <BluesKaj> jimjohnson, you'll still have access to Outlook
[17:33] <BluesKaj> you just won't have Internet explorer, buit firefox is default on kubuntu, and chrome and other linux supported browsers are available
[17:34] <acheronuk> Outlook the program? Or outlook.com the website for webmail?
[17:35] <jimjohnson> i have outlook 2007
[17:38] <BluesKaj> jimjohnson, MS Office Outlook 2007? or the email app ?
[17:38] <jimjohnson> what is the difference?
[17:38] <jimjohnson> I click on a yellow square that says Microsoft Outlook 2007
[17:39] <genii> jimjohnson: Do your incoming emails get pulled off your ISP's mail server by your local Outlook, or are you running an email server?
[17:39] <genii> So the former
[17:42] <user|75787> hello everyone :)
[17:42] <user|75787> i have a problem with booting ubuntu on my laptop and I would like to ask for help
[17:42] <user|75787> could someone help, please? :)
[17:43] <BluesKaj> user|75787, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[17:43] <jimjohnson> yes i get comcast email
[17:43] <user|75787> sorry, i meant kubuntu
[17:50] <BluesKaj> user|75787, is this a dual boot with windows 8 or higher?
[18:38] <marco-parillo> jimjohnson: If you have comcast e-mail, you should have two, maybe three options. (1) You can use an e-mail client. kmail ships with Kubuntu. The second most popular around here is probably Thunderbird. You would have to configure your e-mail client software. (2) You can use your browser (by default firefox) to access your comcast webmail directly
[18:38] <marco-parillo> (https://www.xfinity.com/support/internet/sign-in-to-email-or-voicemail-on-xfinity/).
[18:40] <marco-parillo> Third possibility (and this may not work) is to use your browser to use Outlook Web Access (https://outlook.office.com/owa/) to access your Comcast e-mail. If it works, it will be pretty familiar to you.
[22:04] <R13ose> Hi
[23:45] <viewer|15687> Hi, all. I have a problem that I'm hoping one of you can help with. My laptop has a RealTek 8723 wireless chip. Starting with 16.10, I kept getting 'IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready' errors.
[23:46] <viewer|15687> I tried moving to the 17.04 Beta, and the driver started throwing this error 'hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723b_config.bin failed with error -2'
[23:46] <viewer|15687> I compiled the RTL from Larry Finger's Git repo (as suggested in forum posts), and I now get this error: 'rtlwifi: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.'
[23:47] <viewer|15687> Any idea on where to go from here, besides reinstall 16.04?
