diegs_hi! is there a way to change the 'breeze' cursor theme to an intermediate size? Right now my aptions are 24 (too small), 48 (too big), and 'resolution dependent' (same size as 48)03:28
lordievader[m]Good morning05:33
VorapHeyo! :) Quick question, when I try to log in to my box, running kubuntu 17.04, it freezes right when I enter my password, and it doesn't actually log me in, anyone have any ideas?08:18
suiciVorap , are you using Wayland or X11 ?08:18
VorapI am running X1108:21
hateballVorap: have you been naughty and run gui apps with sudo?08:41
hateballVorap: log in to a tty and check that you are the owner of ~/.Xauthority08:41
lordievader[m]Also check if the disk (home partition) is full.08:49
Voraphateballm hahaha, I08:55

BluesKaj'Morning all10:12
silver_hookHullo. I’m having trouble with VPN (vnpc) on 17.04. It *seems* this is a regression bug in NetworkManager, so downgrading that package to 1.2.2 (or prior) might be a workaround for it.10:34
silver_hookIs there a (sane) way how I can do that on 17.04? It seems at least in 16.04 that package version was available, but in 17.04 it is not anymore, even if I were to force it.10:35

silver_hookI take it silence means there is no sane way to downgrade NetworkManager on 17.04.12:59
lordievader[m]Why do you want to downgrade it?12:59
silver_hookSo my best option would be what? To download the last known working SRPM (from e.g. 16.04) and build it?12:59
silver_hooklordievader[m]: regression bug after 1.2.2, that causes DNS to be ignored when using VPN.13:00
lordievader[m]Ah, useful. Is there no older package available? See apt-cache policy ;)13:00
silver_hooklordievader[m]: Not in 17.04. At least for NetworkManager the “force version” option is not available in Synaptic and `aptitude show network-manager` also shows just one version :/13:02
lordievader[m]Hmm, you might be able to install the package from 16.10, but it might very well complain about that.13:03
silver_hookThe issue is in this bug (and those linked in it): https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/163387413:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1633874 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "VPN - "Additional DNS servers" Settings are being Ignored" [High,Triaged]13:03
lordievader[m]Not really an ideal situation.13:03
lordievader[m]17.10 does not have a fixed version?13:03
silver_hooklordievader[m]: I know :/13:03
silver_hooklordievader[m]: I think 17.10 uses the same NetworkManager version.13:04
silver_hookSo 16.10 SRPM and build the .deb locally?13:04
lordievader[m]No, download the deb from launchpad.13:04
lordievader[m]Skip the building part ;)13:04
silver_hookWill try, thanks :)13:07
silver_hookBut first I’ve got a call so I’ll report back in an hour or so.13:07
lordievader[m]silver_hook: Good luck13:11
chcknrubhi13:18
lordievader[m]o/13:19
chcknrubi have switched to kde neon from kubuntu 16.04 LTS, kde neon is much much much better!!!!! kubuntu 16.04 has many bugs and no updates13:19
chcknrubwho uses kubuntu 16.04???13:20
chcknrubi'll recommend the switch to kde neon13:20
chcknrub^_^13:20
chcknrubwasted for 3-6 months waiting for kde updates in kubuntu 16.04, after switching to kde neon, it has latest kde and still based on ubuntu distro... i never look back13:22

silver_hooklordievader[m]: You were right, it complains quite viciously regarding nplan being there and libreadline6 not being there :p16:39
lordievader[m]silver_hook: Yeah, I'm afraid you are going to have to wait for a bugfix to be packaged. Or see if the fix is upstream and compile your own NM.16:42
silver_hookBugger.16:45
silver_hookThanks anyway :)16:45
silver_hooklordievader[m]: I guess SRPM wouldn’t help me here either16:47
lordievader[m]What is SRPM anyways?16:47
lordievader[m]Redhat packages?16:48
silver_hookSource RPM16:48
silver_hookAh, right, sorry, wrong distro.16:48
silver_hookEm .sources.deb.16:48
silver_hookdeb-src16:49
lordievader[m]The sources debs specify which packages they need, so I don't think it is going to help you much.16:49
lordievader[m]I think it is easier to compile from upstream source.16:49
silver_hookHmm, I though they included some scripts already. I guess I confused it with something else then.16:52
lordievader[m]Oh the build process from a source package is easier, but I don't think it will solve the original problem.16:53
silver_hookProbably not, no.16:54
silver_hookOh well, thanks anyway, I’ll just hope the bug gets fixed then :)16:54
silver_hookThat or distro hop again XD16:54
CrellHi folks. I'm on Kubuntu 16.10.  Periodically the Alt-F2 dialog (formerly "kicker"?) simply doesn't start, or connect, or something.  I have not figured out a pattern to it.  Is there a way to force it to start?17:11
hateballCrell: run "krunner" from a terminal17:19
hateballCrell: also you should see about upgrading to 17.04, 16.10 goes EOL soon17:20
CrellThat's on my todo list for this weekend. :-)17:20
CrellThat did it, thanks.17:20
apb1963kubuntu 16.04; I'm searching for a mamaboard, and according to what I've read over the last week, AMD seems to be focused on Radeon (so NVIDEA doesn't seem to be an option with AMD), they don't typically support their drivers for more than a short time, Canonical won't be supporting it either.  Further, linux developers have issues with Radeon policies.  Recommendations for graphics issues have been mostly to not run ubuntu 16.04 or oibaf's18:18
apb1963drivers which one is supposed to "risk" using as there is no "official" support.  So... bottom line, I don't know if I should be buying an AMD CPU at this time.18:18
=== juboxi is now known as jubo2
BluesKajcpu and gpu are different processors...gpu are graphics18:30
BluesKajI have amd cpu but nvidia gpu/graphics18:31
apb1963BluesKaj: yes18:43
apb1963But as I said....  AMD is focused on Radeon... not Nvidia.  While there may be some motherboards with Nvidia chips, there is no easy way to find them that I'm aware of.18:44
apb1963so far, all AMD based boards are coming up Radon18:45
apb1963This gets to the heart of the matter.  https://askubuntu.com/questions/815591/ubuntu-14-04-5-16-04-16-10-and-amd-graphics18:53

BluesKajdahlia,  install krfb desktop sharing utility, it's in the repos19:36

corppneqI have a problem with Kubuntu 17.04. I only get a black screen after login (I just did an update and added some miniprogramms to the panel). No panels are visible. How do I fix this?19:56

memphistocorppneq , is alt+f2 working?20:04
kubuntedwhy is it freezing all the time? first thought just the desktop but then on virtual console too. Is tghis on purpose to make linux worse and worse instead of improving?20:17
chcknrubyup, look at windows 10....20:24
kubuntedweird...what we in the 1990s hoped to become a great os has been turning weirder and werder20:24
kubuntedother that slower at boot and shutdown win10 is in manty way superior to once promising linux20:25
chcknrubwindows 10 is worst.. i can't disable av scanning20:26
chcknrubdownloading updates won't start unless you leave your computer20:26
kubuntedit's a mess...no out of the box working os...except may be apple...haven't used that in while20:27
=== hook is now known as silver_hook
wxlhey folks i just killed plasma-desktop (yes, kde4) and when i restart it fails. there's an error about an unversioned plugin of libplasma but there's also a dbus error, so i'm thinking resolving the latter might solve the former? isn't there like a dbus-launch command that can sort of resolve the dbus session pointer to the correct location?21:03
kubuntedWhy is kubuntu installed filemanager moving files to Trash instead of deleting? How to delete? What happened .?.. why does it no more deletes?????21:04
edarfocempty trash21:09
Dragnslcrkubunted- if you mean when you press the Delete key, you can change the shortcut in Settings -> Configure Shortcuts21:14
acheronukthey have gone, but FWIW, the right click 'delete' option is now a service menu option to enable in dolphin preferences21:21
acheronukplus Shift + delete key still works to bypass trash I think21:21
=== fa is now known as vo1pbx
Dragnslcracheronuk- yeah, I think the default is the shortcut for "Trash" is Del and the shortcut for "Delete" is Shift+Del21:34
vo1pbxnew and improved21:34
vo1pbxlol21:34
silver_hookYay! Managed to fix my VPN issue :D21:35
silver_hook…in the end I simply installed NetworkManager 1.8.0 from Debian Sid’s packages.21:36
chcknrubif i delete the Trash can, where will it go?22:28
chcknrubhow to restore it?, i can't find the trash can in my kubuntu22:28
