[00:02] <ussher_> I've installed "great little audio player" from a .deb file.  Cant figure out how to remove it.  in the "Included files" in the deb package it shows lots going into .opt/extras.ubutntu.com/.......  How do I remove it?  It doesnt seem to have a command line name to start it, just a desktop icon.
[00:03] <clivejo> ussher_:  dpkg --remove packagename
[00:03] <ussher_> normally would do apt-get purge (name of the program) but its not working in this case because the name of the program isnt universal.
[00:04] <ussher_> the application launcher command is "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/glrp/GreatLittleRadioPlayer"
[00:04] <clivejo> or use a package manager like Muon?
[00:04] <ussher_> tried with "Discoverer" but its not there.
[00:04] <ussher_> see if i have muon
[00:05] <clivejo> Discover isn't a full package manager unfortunately
[00:05] <ussher_> Think I lost muon in the last upgrade.  not there.
[00:06] <clivejo> sudo apt install muon
[00:07] <clivejo> sudo dpkg --remove greatlittleradioplayer
[00:08] <ussher_> that one does it
[00:08] <ussher_> Thanks clivejo
[00:08] <clivejo> no problem
[03:36] <applecat> HI, I recently upgraded to KDE 5.9. I'm using a Wacom tablet and notice that there is no longer a GUI in system settings for the tablet. I would like to develop this functionality. Could someone guide me a little, or send me a few links that would be useful. The wacom settings functionality would be located in system settings -> Input Devices

[12:44] <Guest8847> hi
[12:46] <lordievader> o/
[13:19] <zetheroo> 'greeter-show-manual-login=true' doesn't seem to work for KDE - is there another way to do this?
[13:29] <zetheroo> how to set manual login in KDE?
[13:29] <lordievader> What do you mean with manual login?
[13:30] <zetheroo> I need to be able to type in a username
[13:31] <lordievader> That is dependent on the theme, I thought. A theme like Elarun looks like it supports typing of user names.
[13:31] <lordievader> Things like Breeze do it via user icons.
[13:31] <zetheroo> so the default theme doesn't support manual login?
[13:31] <lordievader> They all do.
[13:31] <lordievader> Unless I misunderstand what you mean with manual login.
[13:32] <zetheroo> well in Ubuntu I edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-gnome.conf with 'greeter-show-manual-login=true'
[13:32] <zetheroo> This gives the option to manually type in a username
[13:33] <zetheroo> I tried doing the same in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-kde-plasma-kf5.conf but it's not any different
[13:33] <lordievader> Kubuntu uses SDDM by default.
[13:33] <lordievader> Like I said, using the default Breeze theme you can click to select  a user. Other themes use text input for this.
[13:34] <zetheroo> yes, but what if the user is hidden from login
[13:35] <zetheroo> We have administrative users which are hidden from the login screen
[13:36] <zetheroo> what the default theme needs is something like "Other" or "Not Listed" so you can type in a username
[13:36] <zetheroo> or is this configurable with SDDM?
[13:39] <lordievader> My SDDM has a button for a 'Different User'.
[13:39] <zetheroo> I am using Kubuntu 16.04.2
[13:41] <lordievader> I don't use Kubuntu, my SDDM version is 0.14.0-r2, but I don't think this is a new addition.
[13:49] <zetheroo> seems like it's been a known issue for some time https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813409
[13:51] <lordievader> zetheroo: What version of sddm are you running?
[13:51] <zetheroo> no clue
[13:51] <zetheroo> the default with Kubuntu 16.04.2
[13:51] <lordievader> apt-cache policy sddm
[13:52] <zetheroo>   Installed: 0.13.0-1ubuntu5
[13:53] <lordievader> There is no 'different user' button in your login screen?
[13:54] <zetheroo> nope
[13:55] <lordievader> Hmm, it could be that it was introduced in 0.14.
[13:55] <zetheroo> http://imgur.com/a/wtKNQ
[13:57] <lordievader> Ah, yes that old theme. As a work around you may add a text based theme.
[13:57] <zetheroo> how do I install a new theme and then set that as the default from terminal?
[13:58] <lordievader> Wait a minute, are you trying to login as a used with a uid < 1000?
[13:59] <zetheroo> not that I know of
[13:59] <lordievader> Hmm, but the user you want is not listed?
[14:00] <zetheroo> I just need to be able to have a login screen where I can have these options set:
[14:00] <zetheroo> allow-guest=false
[14:00] <zetheroo> greeter-show-manual-login=true
[14:01] <lordievader> In that case, I'd make a (admin) user from a tty. Login as that user. Set up the login screen via the gui. Logout, remove use.
[14:01] <lordievader> user*
[14:01] <zetheroo> I have ssh access already
[14:02] <zetheroo> I just can't setup on Kubuntu what works in Ubuntu Unity and Gnome
[14:02] <lordievader> By the by, you could also simply install lightdm.
[14:07] <zetheroo> hmm ok
[14:08] <zetheroo> going to do that
[14:34] <talmage> akonadi_imap_resource repeatedly closes unexpectedly. How do I fix that?
[14:35] <talmage> kmail seems to be stuck moving items from 'sent-mail' to 'Trash'.
[14:41] <zetheroo> ok, I don't want to use the Unity greeter so this is no good
[14:41] <zetheroo> back to sddm ... how to install another theme by terminal?
[14:43] <lordievader> You can also use the Gnome themes for lightdm, if you want.
[14:43] <lordievader> I have no idea how to install sddm themes by terminal.
[14:44] <zetheroo> well I tried installing gdm as well ... but when I login I am in a Gnome desktop instead of KDE
[14:48] <zetheroo> and /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-gnome.conf doesn't exit either
[14:48] <lordievader> Most login managers allow you to select which DE you want to boot in. SDDM and LightDM do anyways, and I thought KDM did too.
[14:49] <zetheroo> KDM, is that yet another one? :
[14:50] <lordievader> Yes, and old login manager for KDE, don't think it is really supported anymore.
[14:50] <lordievader> Does it matter that the file doesn't exist?
[14:50] <zetheroo> E: Package 'kdm' has no installation candidate
[14:50] <zetheroo> well where else does one configure gdm?
[14:50] <lordievader> Yeah, you don't really want to do that.
[14:51] <zetheroo> in Ubuntu that config is there when you install gdm
[14:51] <lordievader> Not in lightdm config files...
[14:51] <lordievader> Read the documentation on where to config your dm.
[14:51] <zetheroo> In Ubuntu it's located in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-gnome.conf
[14:52] <lordievader> That sounds like config for lightdm and gnome. Not gdm.
[14:52] <zetheroo> ok
[14:53] <lordievader> Like I said, read the documentation for your login manager on how to configure it.
[14:54] <zetheroo> why can't I just install another sddm theme which has the manual login option?
[14:55] <lordievader> You can, already gave you instructions on that.
[14:55] <zetheroo> oh, must has missed it
[14:55] <lordievader> In that case, I'd make a (admin) user from a tty. Login as that user. Set up the login screen via the gui. Logout, remove use.
[14:55] <lordievader> user*
[14:56] <talmage> Are there SDDM themes that don't fill in the name of the last logged in user?
[14:56] <talmage> I couldn't find any, so I hacked the circles theme to do that.
[14:57] <zetheroo> lordievader: I don't have any issue logging in. I am asking how to install another theme by terminal?
[14:57] <zetheroo> or is that just not how its done
[14:58] <lordievader> I know. As I have said before, I don't know how to do so from the terminal. Hence I have given you an alternative.
[14:58] <zetheroo> ok
[14:58] <zetheroo> I guess it's something like this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/319451/how-to-install-and-set-new-themes-in-kde-plasma-via-terminal
[15:02] <user|39078> Hi
[15:21] <zetheroo> how to find my version of Plasma?
[15:28] <oerheks> K menu -> Applications -> System -> Info Center or start from console using kinfocenter
[15:37] <oost> Seems there is another app called "spectable" (under macOS)... question: does KDE care for circumstances with apps when they have the same name?
[16:53] <user|78655> I'm having trouble initializing my wireless card to recieve wifi signals on my fresh install of kubunutu... any tips?
[16:54] <user|78655> how would i go about installing wireless adapter drivers within kubuntu?
[18:38] <mgolden_> user|78655: Can you give more information?
[21:59] <takemori_> i have a uefi-only computer and I cannot get kubuntu to work. I even manually installed to get a /boot/efi partition with esp and boot enabled, but the pc just boots straight to bios because it does not see it. I have secure boot and trusted computing turned off as well
[23:09] <diego__> hola como va
[23:54] <Walex2> takemori_: try ##Linux instead
