BluesKajHiyas all12:50
quantock48Have just got a new laptop toshiba satellite c55-c-184.  Have installed kubuntu 64 and it is working well except for a few small teething troubles.  Can someone help with these?13:18
TBotNikAll: Got a few minutes this AM before getting to outside chores here at the farm on such a lovely AM here in Greenville, TX.  Working on my ThunderBird email address ripping script.  Having problems with an array assign.  Write up at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5710031#post5710031. All help appreciated! Join me on the #bash channel for discussion on this .13:18
quantock48First thing is there is an icon on my panel (bottom of screen next to the kde start meny icon, when I click on it it tells me there is a malformed url, but I can't see a way to get rid of it. Any ideas?13:21
quantock48kubuntu version is 17.0413:22
quantock48Have not tried this chat forum before!13:23
snoopHello all, i hope none of you got hit with the #ransomware13:29
BluesKajsnoop,  that's  windows worm, which users should habe patched with windows update 2weeks ago13:30
snoopyeah i know13:32
snoopnone of the people i know never update their machines13:32
BluesKajwell, they should , apparently windows defender has to install the patch or the worm can get past it and scan their networks13:35
MrSassyPantsapturl -> ImportError: No module named 'PyQt4.QtWebKit'14:11
MrSassyPantsWHAT DO?14:11
clivejoMrSassyPants: where are you getting that error?14:12
MrSassyPantsfrom entering apturl14:12
oerheksPyQt5.QtWebKit is available, PyQt4.QtWebKit is not >> PyQt4.QtWebKit package got removed in Ubuntu 16.10, probably because both PyQt4 and QtWebKit are long unmaintained.14:12
MrSassyPants(same with apturl-kde, I assume it's a symlink)14:12
MrSassyPantsyes, this problem was there before I upgraded to 17.0414:13
MrSassyPantsI assumed 17.04 would fix it but it didn't14:13
MrSassyPantsso14:13
roy_is it possible that dolphin (KDE) crash/conflict with my router?14:13
roy_hi14:13
roy_while  browsing smb/windows network14:15
MrSassyPantsroy, I'm assuming you don't have a domain server set up14:16
roy_i don't indeed14:16
MrSassyPantsbecause smb works like ass for me as well, but I remember from back in the days that smb always worked like ass if you didn't have a domain server14:16
MrSassyPantsand I mean: even windows-to-windows14:17
MrSassyPantsof course there may be an actual bug there, I'm just saying14:17
roy_well this never happens using "ubuntu file" but with dolphin i got many timeout errors14:19
MrSassyPantsdoes it sporadically work though?14:19
roy_yes rarely i would say14:20
MrSassyPantswell, I guess its about the same here then14:21
MrSassyPants(not that I would be available for testing right now, I had a friend with a windows 10 laptop over a few weeks ago, that's where I noticed the problem)14:21
roy_ok and what workaroud do you use, or maybe you do not use samba at all?14:22
MrSassyPantsyeah just an external drive14:22
roy_well that shurely solves :)14:23
MrSassyPantsbut you say "ubuntu file" actually can do it properly?14:23
MrSassyPantsbecause I was trying dolphin too14:23
MrSassyPantsand the kde smb integration14:23
roy_yes file has some hicups but it works mostly14:25
roy_i mean file in Ubuntu never tried in kubuntu14:25
roy_anyway in this days samba works pretty well windows to linux FYI14:27
roy_and shurely nautilus/file never crashed/locked the router14:29
MrSassyPantslocking the router, huh?14:30
roy_yep i could live with samba not working but not without network/internet14:31
roy_when i try to browse windows/samba folder with dolphin my router crash/my ISP loks me out and i must unplug the router14:34
roy_when i try to browse windows/samba folder with dolphin my router crash/my ISP loks me out and i must unplug the router14:41
MrSassyPantsit may be some virus/worm countermeasure14:46
MrSassyPantsthe router identifies your samba as a worm14:46
MrSassyPantsand firewalls you14:46
MrSassyPantsthat's almost certainly what's happening14:46
MrSassyPantsIIRC in 2002 there was a massive, apocalyptic worm epidemic that worked on windows xp SMB vulnerabilities, as a result of that, windows firewall and such was created14:49
MrSassyPantsand various consumer routers would aggressively shut down clients who tried to SMB connect to the internet14:50
MrSassyPantsI suppose that's whats happening14:50
roy_yes but i think it should happen also with ubuntu, that's not the case only kde/dolphin14:52
MrSassyPantsoh, no doubt that dolphin is doing something wrong when it triggers the router to kick in anti-worm-mode14:53
roy_it's a pity because kde is way better than Gnome etc.. but less reliable it seems14:54
roy_afk14:56
roy_thanks mr sassy got to go bye15:01

konradosMorning! Is the "~/.config/autostart" directory specific to KDE, Ubuntu, or is it a general linux concept? In this dir I have apps which autostart with the system. I can manage them for example with the system settings -> autostart16:01

naruuuHi. When I try to add a google account in "Online Accounts" then I get the error "userActionFinished error: 2". Any help/fix?20:05
naruuuAnother problem is that the "Account Wizard" in kmail is not working. Is this known?20:09
=== usuario2 is now known as NatashaHack
oerheksnaruuu, maybe you need to login via web, and into settings to accept kmail for access?20:23
majoranaHi! I look for a solution to automatically mute the speakers (= set volume to zero) whenever the headphones are unplugged. How can I accomplish this under Kubuntu?20:30
majorana* get unplugged20:31
naruuuoerheks: Ok in kmail I've found out how the "Account Wizard" works. But IMHO confusing20:35
naruuuBut IMHO the implementation/dialog is confusing20:35
naruuuoerheks: After first pressing Next button I see account information. Now confusing is that I have a button "Add account" and I can still press the Next button. But when I press Next I cannot get to the next page. I have to press "Add account". Why not disabling the button "Next"?20:40
valoriethat's good feedback, naruuu20:40
valorieI suggest filing a bug on https://bugs.kde.org20:40
valorieagainst kmail20:41
naruuuOk I'll do that20:41
naruuuBut what about the problem with the "Online Accounts"?20:41
naruuuI remember in older versions of KDE this was working fine20:41
naruuuBut with the newer versions I always get an error20:41
naruuuAnd I have a 3rd problem with kaddressbook. I've added a google account. Now I see some accounts several times (up to 6 times!)20:43
naruuHi. I'm currently facing a very annoying bug. When login - logout - login again then the kdewallet fails to open. It is asking for the password in an endless loop and always fails with error code -9. A known bug? Any solution?21:12
N0Lif3im on kubuntu 16.10. does 17.04 have a whole new version of KDE on it?21:37
N0Lif3I'm excited to see if they've addressed issues that I've silently had with KDE21:38
viewer|62386Hey guys and gals, does anyone know if SDDM executes scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ before login or after?21:41
valorienaruu: sounds like a permission problem21:45
valorieperhaps CHOWN your $HOME to make sure?21:46
valorie!chown21:46
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions21:46
valorieN0Lif3: 17.04 has newer versions21:46
valorie16.10 will soon go out of support21:46
valorieit's worthwhile to upgrade21:47
naruuvalorie: This is a fresh installed kubuntu 17.04. Would be VERY strange if there are any permission problems21:51
naruuvalorie: The kdewallet works find at the first login. But after logout and login again kdewallet fails opening21:52
N0Lif3valorie: shouldn't there be a distro upgrade in Discover? I can't find it21:57
acheronukN0Lif3: the code in discover for that got ripped out by KDE. which got missed :/22:06
N0Lif3kinda lame how I had to google the cheat code, so to speak, to upgrade.22:12
N0Lif3as if in a million years I'd ever be able to intuitively know to write "  kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" " in the console on my own22:12

valorieacheronuk: is there a bug filed in bko about Discover?23:35
valoriesorry, I was afk23:35
acheronukvalorie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-discover/+bug/168268423:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1682684 in plasma-discover (Ubuntu) "Discover does not offer an upgrade to Zesty 17.04" [Undecided,Confirmed]23:44
valorieright, but the devel may not look at LP23:44
valorieand that's not a packaging bug, correct?23:45
acheronukvalorie: for plasma 5.9: https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/commit/?h=Plasma/5.9&id=e42560d53d8ebe3d5fa910129ee07ebc6483db6423:47
acheronukcode that check distribution upgrades via qapt, removed ^^^23:47
valoriewell, you could link to just that in bko, and also link the LP bug <>23:50
valorieso Aleix sees it23:50
valorieoops, time for dinner with the kiddies23:51
acheronukI think depending on discover to offer distribution upgrades is a bad idea anyway23:51
acheronukwe need a qt frontend to the main ubuntu one23:52
acheronukwhich lubuntu will also want if they go with lxqt23:52
acheronukso maybe build that together23:52
valorieooo, good idea23:54
acheronukI mentioned to Simon23:54
* valorie goes off to have dinner with the fam23:55
acheronukvalorie: or we get that functionality added into Muon23:55
acheronuk*back into Muon23:55
