| croz | i accidentally removed the menu panel at the bottom of the window. how do i add it back? | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| croz | ? | 02:16 |
| EldonMcGuinness | croz: The entire panel or just the application launcher? | 02:45 |
| fuze | i just updated to kubuntu 16.04 to 17.04 and now the keyboard shortcut for the application launcher must be held down instead of a single press. how can I get it so I can just toggle the menu with a keyboard shortcut? | 03:11 |
| EldonMcGuinness | I would have thought it would be under shortcuts some where but not seeing it | 03:19 |
| ahoneybun | held down | 03:20 |
| ahoneybun | ? | 03:20 |
| ahoneybun | you can right click the launcher then Application Launcher Settings | 03:21 |
| fuze | i used to be apple to press the key and the window would stay there. now if i press the key the widget appears and then goes away when i release my finger off the shortcut key | 03:21 |
| fuze | able* | 03:21 |
| EldonMcGuinness | perhaps try this https://bucharjan.cz/blog/plasma-custom-modifier-only-shortcuts.html | 03:23 |
| ahoneybun | well pressing the key should just open it up | 03:24 |
| fuze | if i set it to the meta key can the meta (windows) key still be used for keyboard shortcuts (such as Meta + Tab) | 03:28 |
| croz | EldonMcGuinness, the entire menubar at the bottom is gone where I could click my shortcuts, displayed the time, and see what apps were open. | 03:28 |
| fuze | croz: you deleted the panel | 03:29 |
| fuze | just make a new one | 03:29 |
| croz | how do i do that? | 03:29 |
| fuze | right click on the desktop > add panel | 03:29 |
| croz | ah there we go | 03:29 |
| croz | HOLY SHIT it fixed the small resolution too by doing that. i was stuck with a small ass menu bar since i have 4k display and now it's bigger. | 03:30 |
| croz | thanks! | 03:30 |
| fuze | you can adjust the size of the menu bar (panel) by clicking the wrench in the corner and dragging the height button in the middle. no problem | 03:31 |
| croz | you the man fuze! | 03:41 |
| croz | thanks | 03:41 |
| fuze | ahoneybun: EldonMcGuinness: so it appears that adjusting the keyboard shortcut for the app launcher fixed my issue and after some research i found this: since KDE 5.8 setting the launcher to keyboard the keyboard shortcut which I believe is now the default, Alt + F1, the Meta (windows) key will automatically open the app launcher | 03:43 |
| EldonMcGuinness | very cool | 04:08 |
| EldonMcGuinness | glad you got it fixe fuze | 04:08 |
| wt | I am running the kde plasma5 under wayland. There are a number of little issues, but it's mostly working. Is there any reasonable way to get ssh-agent to run on login? | 04:19 |
| EldonMcGuinness | Something like this perhaps: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Ssh-agent_KDE_Wallet | 04:31 |
| EldonMcGuinness | I thought about doing myself, but it is just easier for me to type the passwords I use atm. | 04:31 |
| === himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf | ||
| valorie | wt: depends on what ssh-agent is | 04:52 |
| valorie | if it's a service run by systemd, then you need to turn it on there | 04:52 |
| valorie | otherwise, you can do that in systemsettings > autostart | 04:52 |
| valorie | !ssh | 04:53 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for its homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 04:53 |
| valorie | aha, thanks for that link, EldonMcGuinness | 04:54 |
| EldonMcGuinness | np | 04:54 |
| valorie | that shows how to do it step by step | 04:54 |
| valorie | wt: did you see that? | 04:54 |
| valorie | !info ksshaskpass | 04:55 |
| ubottu | ksshaskpass (source: ksshaskpass): interactively prompt users for a passphrase for ssh-add. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:5.9.4-0ubuntu1 (zesty), package size 20 kB, installed size 194 kB | 04:55 |
| valorie | so that will need adding | 04:55 |
| EldonMcGuinness | yup | 04:56 |
| EldonMcGuinness | one of the reasons I was like meh | 04:57 |
| valorie | I remember setting that up in windows, long ago | 04:58 |
| valorie | i no longer have a website I work on | 04:59 |
| valorie | which is what I used it for | 04:59 |
| EldonMcGuinness | I have to admit, in gnome it just asked if I wanted to save the pass to my keyring and it just worked. | 04:59 |
| EldonMcGuinness | Maybe it will get that way here | 04:59 |
| valorie | if someone wants to make it so, sure | 04:59 |
| EldonMcGuinness | If I understand it correctly, this way needs your password again after logging in which just seems redundant. | 05:00 |
| valorie | once | 05:01 |
| valorie | basically to get the handshake in there | 05:01 |
| valorie | as I recall | 05:01 |
| EldonMcGuinness | Just seems that unlocking the keychain would be done when you authenticate to login | 05:02 |

| user|81017 | need some assistance with kubuntu 17.04 | 08:46 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> what's the issue? | 08:47 |
| renn0xtk9 | what is the command to execute when willing to upgrade form 16.04 to 17.04 | 08:48 |
| user|81017 | Software center has disappeared. Happened during updates. | 08:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> 16.04 -> 17.04 direct upgardes are not supported. you have to upgrade to 16.10, then to 17.04 | 08:49 |
| user|81017 | can anyone help me? | 08:54 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> you'll need to explain more what updates you mean, and what you mean by dissapear | 08:56 |
| user|81017 | ok well if anyone sees this and decides to answer...During updates of fresh install kubuntu 17.04, software center disappeared. | 08:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> what updates, from where? | 08:58 |
| user|81017 | Ah. Installed 17.04, Software Center showed there to be updates to install then during updates it crashed and now does not exist. I do not know what updates. I didnt read every updates there. there were 138 of them. | 08:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> open konsole and try 'sudo apt install plasma-discover' | 09:00 |
| user|81017 | Thanks. I'm fairly new to this, yet still I feel less than adequate for not thinking about just reinstalling it from terminal. | 09:03 |
| user|81017 | So now discover shows 328 updates and is freezing. Any alternatives to Software center? | 09:05 |
| acheronuk | just do 'sudo apt full-upgrade' in the terminal | 09:06 |
| acheronuk | and upgrade the old fashioned way if what it proposes to do seems ok | 09:06 |
| user|81017 | Thanks again. | 09:08 |
| renn0xtk9 | so how to upgrade 16.04>17.10? | 09:09 |
| acheronuk | personally, I always fall back to old fashioned apt for any large numbers of suggested upgrades. less to go wrong | 09:09 |
| acheronuk | renn0xtk9: upgrade to 16.10, then to 17.04. | 09:09 |
| acheronuk | or do a clean install | 09:10 |
| user|81017 | Good point. Only reason I even messed with discover is to find new software. | 09:10 |
| renn0xtk9 | acheronuk what is the command to issue? | 09:11 |
| renn0xtk9 | i do-release-upgrade | 09:11 |
| renn0xtk9 | it says no new release found | 09:12 |
| acheronuk | renn0xtk9: that is because by default, the LTS release are set to upgrade only to the next LTS | 09:13 |
| acheronuk | run 'sudo software-properties-kde' | 09:13 |
| acheronuk | and change the release upgrade setting to normal, like: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YakketyUpgrades/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=snapshot5b.png | 09:14 |
| renn0xtk9 | alternative question are there still backports on LTS? my final goal is in fact to get the latest Kdevelop | 09:16 |
| acheronuk | or set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 09:17 |
| acheronuk | renn0xtk9: yes, latest kdevelop has been built for 16.04. just not copied to backports yet | 09:17 |
| renn0xtk9 | acheronuk, how to activate the backports in 16.04/ | 09:20 |
| acheronuk | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports | 09:21 |
| acheronuk | will get a LOT of updates doing that! | 09:22 |
| renn0xtk9 | hmm okay but still no kdevelop 5 I fI get it right :S https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+index?batch=75&memo=225&start=225 | 09:25 |
| acheronuk | yes, I said it's not been copied to backports yet | 09:25 |
| acheronuk | see: https://launchpad.net/~kdevelop/+archive/ubuntu/release | 09:26 |
| acheronuk | built against backports ppa for Xenial, so may require it | 09:26 |
| renn0xtk9 | and in 17.04 it's in? | 09:28 |
| acheronuk | 17.04 has kdevelop 5.0.4. with 5.1.1 to land in backports ppa soon | 09:29 |
| acheronuk | or is in that kdevelop ppa now | 09:30 |
| acheronuk | renn0xtk9: gotta go for now. hope you get what you want one way or the other :) | 09:31 |

| === severus is now known as Guest25542 | ||
| BluesKaj | nmrp3, it would help if you gave us some info about the wifi chip and if it worked previously etc | 14:33 |
| nmrp3 | BluesKaj: I was running 16.04, and upgraded to 17.04 -- it worked in 16.04 and in 16.10 while I did the 17.04 upgrade | 14:35 |

| nmrp3 | which apt source should be providing that? I have 9 firmware- packages, none of which are realtek | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | nmrp3, I misread, that firmware is for debian, not kubuntu , google-fu isn't providing much info for the chip on 17.04 | 14:51 |

| nmrp3 | I don't particularly want to roll back to 16.10 | 14:55 |
| acheronuk | !wifi | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 15:06 |
| acheronuk | nmrp3: very likely a general ubuntu issue rather than kubuntu specific, so maybe you can ask a more general audience on #ubuntu ? And/or the ubuntu forums or askubuntu? | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | very poor info about the required driver for that chip | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | looks like it may have to be compiled from source | 15:10 |
| acheronuk | perhaps. wireless drivers used to be a complete PITA. now it's unusual to find a chip that needs much more than a few tweaks | 15:11 |
