[02:25] <vimes> hello! Just installed kubuntu, but can't get my USB audio to work. I can find it in the list of audio devices, I press it, but it gives no sound.
[02:25] <vimes> used to work fine in Ubuntu when I selected it
[03:04] <vimes> is it just me or is https://store.kde.org down, I can't install any KDE Plasma desktop widgets!
[03:10] <DarinMiller> vimes: The store is down for me too.
[05:17] <newb> hey i have kubuntu on my computer with a geforce gt 630 attached to a 40 inch tv.I have moderate keyboard and mouse lag. i tried googling but didnt find too much information, just people suggesting to mess with xset m, which i tried to no effect. anyone know anything about this?
[05:34] <redphantom_> actually i just saw an article about that this morning there are drivers you can update to if you are having stability issues
[05:34] <redphantom_> im also using kubuntu with a 780 ti but i am not having any lag
[05:34] <redphantom_> im on 17.04
[05:36] <valorie> newb: you might check in systemsettings if there are suggested drivers for you to install
[05:37] <valorie> easiest way to do that is alt+space and type drivers
[05:37] <valorie> that is krunner, endlessly useful
[05:40] <newb> valorie: thank you. im using the nvidia-375 driver. it says recommended driver next to it. but also with nouveau i had worse mouse lag
[05:41] <valorie> sounds more like an I/O problem -- is your cable really long?
[05:41] <valorie> or old
[05:42] <valorie> crappy or worn-out cabling causes so many problems we usually blame on software
[05:42] <newb> valorie: i have a couple others, ill give them a shot. since you mention it, this one is unecessarily long, like 50 feet.
[05:43] <valorie> yowza
[05:44] <valorie> I was about to give up on one old laptop since the USB seemed to stop working
[05:44] <valorie> it was driving me nuts until someone mentioned that it might be the cable failing
[05:44] <valorie> duh
[05:44] <valorie> it was
[05:44] <valorie> lol
[05:47] <newb> valorie: much better, but still lags. I wouldnt be able to play a first person shooter but I can definitely use the computer more easily now. perhaps i should invest in a shorter new one.
[05:48] <valorie> probably worth the small amount it will cost
[05:49] <newb> valorie: I appreicate the help
[05:52] <valorie> well, if the new cable helps, then I helped
[05:52] <valorie> :-)
[05:52] <valorie> so, fingers crossed!
[05:53] <newb> valorie: definitely
[10:16] <vincenzoml> Hi there, I'm using ubuntu (not kubuntu) 17.04 and I have no icons in okular, and in buttons of other kde applications. Here is a screenshot
[10:16] <vincenzoml> http://pasteboard.co/ZlQmQdYl.png
[10:17] <vincenzoml> There should be tool icons where the tooltip is
[10:17] <vincenzoml> I tried changing the icon theme to oxygen via kcmconfig
[10:18] <vincenzoml> and I also tried setting the theme to gtk via qtconfig-qt4
[10:18] <vincenzoml> no luck with either
[10:27] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:29] <soupnanodesukar> vincenzomi: okular uses qt5 now, qtconfig-qt4 won't work
[10:30] <soupnanodesukar> try installing breeze
[10:37] <vincenzoml> soupnanodesukar: how do I let all kde applications use the breeze theme?
[10:38] <soupnanodesukar> configure it in system settings?
[10:39] <vincenzoml> what's the command? I don't have the full kde installed
[10:42] <soupnanodesukar> Your relevant options for kcmshell5 are icons style and breezestyleconfig
[10:43] <soupnanodesukar> hth
[12:26] <ustedani> Hi there ... the laptop wont shutdown or reboot, who can help me please?
[13:29] <vimes> any one know of a way to re-assign the print screen key in kubuntu to do area screenshot and auto put it into the clipbord
[13:41] <Dragnslcr> vimes- looks like there are command line options to spectacle to do it
[13:45] <vimes> Dragnslcr, yes, I've used the "help" command to list them. but none of them allow me to auto put it into clipboard
[13:45] <vimes> in gnome I just had to append a "-c" and it would copy it
[13:46] <vimes> I take like 50 screenshots a day (for work) so I need it to work
[13:55] <Dragnslcr> vimes- looks like you can use the xclip program to copy the output from spectacle to the clipboard
[14:04] <vimes> thanks Dragnslcr, I found it easier to not use spectacle at all. terminal command "import png:- | xclip -selection c -t image/png" works just fine, I just re-mapped it to the print screen key :)
[14:05] <vimes> it does not save my screenshots in a folder though, like gnome did. but meh
[16:36] <user|85836> come installare ubuntu
[16:40] <luk7> ciao
[16:55] <gabriel_> hola chamacos
[17:41] <kubunted> where is libportaudio.so.2 ?
[17:41] <kubunted> not installable via apt-get
[17:43] <Dragnslcr> kubunted- what version of Kubuntu are you using? I have libportaudio2 in 17.04.
[17:48]  * genii makes more coffee
[20:05] <vojzzo> Anyone here?
[20:06] <acheronuk> yes
[20:06] <acheronuk> !ask
[20:10] <vojzzo> Oh sorry
[20:10] <vojzzo> I wanted to try Kubuntu
[20:11] <vojzzo> Should I try the newest 17.04 version or the older one?
[20:12] <BluesKaj> vojzzo, you can try the live media version to see if you like 17.04, tht's usually the best method
[20:12] <acheronuk> vojzzo: are you happy to upgrade the OS again in 8 months time?
[20:13] <BluesKaj> either dvd or usb
[20:14] <vojzzo> I would like to set up the OS to my needs and not have to upgrade it and start over again
[20:14] <acheronuk> BluesKaj: yes, depends what you mean by 'try'
[20:16] <BluesKaj> runingn the live media to see if one likes the OS is "trying" it :-)
[20:16] <acheronuk> well, usually upgrading can be done without having to 'set things up' again, but upgrades always carry the risk depending on what you have customised and hardware that you might need a clean install
[20:17] <acheronuk> so you trade off that risk against say have less new shiny stuff in the LTS release, but not upgrading for a bit except maybe some new stuff from backports
[20:18] <vojzzo> Why would I need to upgrade it in 8 months?
[20:19] <acheronuk> 17.04 has a 9 months support life. No security or other updates after that
[20:19] <vojzzo> And there's going to be a new version after that?
[20:20] <genii> ...
[20:21] <acheronuk> vojzzo: yes. 17.10 in October actually. 3 month overlap
[20:22] <acheronuk> normal releases = every 6 months, each supported for 9 months so they overlap
[21:09] <pedahzur> Any ETA for a xenial/16.04 dist of https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-pim ?  Also, is kubuntu-ppa going to be brought up to date for xenial?  A little love for the current LTS would be nice. :)  Anything I can do to help?
[21:12] <acheronuk> pedahzur: we are looking at updates now. were just too busy with getting 17.04 out the door the last month or 2
[21:12] <acheronuk> now we can look at doing some updates, or at least staging them for testing to see how they go
[21:15] <pedahzur> acheronuk: Very cool. I don't have a lot of time to invest, but are there things I could do to help?
[21:16] <acheronuk> well, if/whe we have packages staged, they will need testers. before they go to regular backports ppas
[21:19] <ahoneybun> yepp
[21:26] <pedahzur> acheronuk: Is that https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-landing ?
[21:26] <pedahzur> Do they also go in Backports Landing before going into Backports PIM?
[21:29] <acheronuk> pedahzur: backports PIM was just for zesty. as we could not get PIM updated with that to the same version as the rest of the apps. but could post release in a ppa
[21:29] <acheronuk> updated apps for Xenial would go in normal backports-landing -> backports
[21:31] <ahoneybun> pedahzur: we also have staging ppas for apps, frameworks, and plasma but that is the very rough stuff
[21:31] <ahoneybun> -landing is for when they just need a few last tests.
[21:36] <pedahzur> ahoneybun: Cool, thanks!
[21:42] <acheronuk> pedahzur: when we have packages to test, we will likely post to kubuntu.org, and maybe before that https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/
[21:42] <acheronuk> plus on #kubuntu-devel of course
[21:49] <pedahzur> Thanks!
[21:50] <acheronuk> thank you :)
[21:57] <pedahzur> acheronuk: Subscribed!
[21:58] <acheronuk> :)
[22:28] <vimes> I have no been able to open up the KDE Wigdets store through since I installed this 3 days ago, and the site has been down allot. only me getting "Network error" when it tries to search for widgets?
[22:34] <mparillo> vimes: You getting a 401? https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?t=71761
[22:36] <vimes> yes
[22:36] <vimes> but I've been getting it for 3 days straight, and still getting it
[22:37] <vimes> now I'm just getting "Network error (4)"
[22:37] <vimes> and when trying to open from the webpage I get "Could not find any application or handler for ocs://install?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.opendesktop.org%2Fapi%2Ffiles%2Fdownload%2Fid%2F1487382028%2F1-Arc-Dark.tar.gz&type=plasma5_desktopthemes&filename=1-Arc-Dark.tar.gz"

[22:58] <valorie> oh gosh, wrong channel, sorry
[22:59] <valorie> reporting this to the kde sysadmins
[23:28] <kubunted> how do i read files on windows partition? in dolphin it shows only NTUSER.DAT* files and folders but not contents of the latter...wtf?
[23:33] <kubunted> also related , some files on a FAT32 usb flashdrive don't write to another exfat drive ( exfat utils installed) , e.g. *.html and related folders, while others transfer fine such as *.pdf , videos pix etc.... how to solve?
[23:33] <kubunted> weird
[23:38] <kubunted> is there a linux distro that works out of the box? I've been fedored already with a disfunctional distro now kubunted
[23:38] <valorie> I've never known a linux distro that could read Windows files in a Windows partition
[23:39] <valorie> afaik, the files have to be in some shared partition
[23:40] <valorie> ever since I moved to linux, yonks ago
[23:40] <valorie> kubuntu works for me, really well
[23:45] <kubunted> valorie: the opposite here - all the distros up till this kubuntu read windows partition fine ( and write to it )
[23:46] <valorie> hmmm
[23:46] <valorie> I guess I've never tried, since I never use the windows
[23:47] <valorie> just leave it because there's room, and I keep intending to use it to test KDE stuff in windows
