[04:03] <kajika> Hello there I have simple question and I couldn't find any answer with google : I have hide the title bar of a window by accessing 'Window Settings' from right clicking the title bar in the 'More Actions' menu. But now that this bar is hidden I cannot find any way to access the Window Settings again. Is there any way?
[04:31] <valorie> kajika: if you click alt+spacebar, you will get "krunner" -- type in kwin
[04:31] <valorie> and choose the special menu
[07:35] <lordievader> Or use the menu by hitting alt + f3
[09:11] <remi_> JOIN #debian
[09:11] <remi_> my bad -_-
[10:24] <sheytan> firends! Some offtopic. Anyone with html knowledge?
[10:48] <ikonia> sheytan: no offtopic please
[10:48] <ikonia> use the html channel
[11:05] <user|45793> hi guys , i deleted default loging screen by mistake , how should i restore it ?
[11:37] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:41] <crab__> Hey
[12:24] <edward__> hi guys, im trying to solve something in here, but have abs no idea of whats happening... since the very beginning of this current week my wifi is not working as it use to...it is slow till death... i have 4 wifi cards... the only one that works somehow is an old one of 54Mbits...
[12:25] <edward__> all other cards are extremly slow... ive checked and apparently we got like 40 networks near to us... ive chaged name, channels, im trying on the 5ghz on the2.4 nothings help
[12:28] <BluesKaj> try ch 1 or11
[12:28] <edward__> indeed ive tried... but in the beginning of the week, i could try now and see it smoothes or cracks me down
[12:29] <lordievader> edward__: How are you testing the speed?
[12:30] <edward__> well... im trying to use the internet are use the ethernet... it is extremly slow
[12:31] <BluesKaj> edward__, do you have a bcm wifi card, they're usually reliable
[12:31] <edward__> also i can see my band on the router... it says 300mbit then 1mbit and stays mostly so under 20mbit
[12:32] <edward__> i got a Hama card that has some ralink chip
[12:32] <edward__> 2 other ralinks and a rtl8812au
[12:33] <edward__> but the used to work without issues... i was trying with Wicd... it went a little better... but the troubles wont stop
[12:35] <edward__> i got too many connections near to me using the channels 1 and 11
[12:36] <edward__> channles from 37 and on are free... but are not working either really good
[12:37] <BluesKaj> edward__, ch 3 is hardly used, since google entries usually recommend 1 and 11
[12:37] <BluesKaj> to avoid overlap
[12:37] <edward__> im gonna try the third than wait a secondie
[12:39] <edward__> i dont see what wifis are using the third... but it shows me like there are 6 other signals already using the 3rd... but im gonna try... im now oher the 108
[12:39] <edward__> over the *
[12:40] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> hello guys
[12:43] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> I'm running kubuntu 17.04 (upgraded from 16.10) and now I have a problem with telepathy and couldn't find a solution online... basically I when trying to add a google account, there's no "google" in the account type, I only get AIM, Gadu, IBM Sametime, ICQ, Jabber, KDE Talk, and a few others, but no "Google" as it was before upgrading
[12:44] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> also tried purging/reinstalling the whole ktp/telephaty stack
[12:44] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> but no luck :-/
[12:44] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> does someone know if I need to install some package ?
[12:44] <lordievader> edward__: Try to set up some local test, from your laptop/desktop to something else inside your network. That way you are only testing your network and not your network and the uplink to your isp.
[12:47] <edward__> ive done a lot of tests... the problem is between my pc and my router...
[12:49] <edward__> i have many things on my network and i was Infra admin for 10 years before i chaged to programming.... all other devices are not having this issues... only me with all my cards... ive done a lot but it is still crappy
[12:49] <edward__> changed*
[12:51] <edward__> the only thing ive noticed that here near to my network... are at least 15 other connections... or more... but im experiencing this troubles since the very beginning of the week
[12:57] <lordievader> edward__: Do you also experience the problem in a live environment?
[12:58] <edward__> i wanted to try... i didnt try till now
[12:58] <edward__> should i try over a virtual machine?
[13:00] <edward__> the problem is that not everylive cd would work on my pc... i have a AMD Ryzen gigabyte... that thing wont work with a live ubuntu system cuz a bug in the normal kernels... im running a custom 4.11.2 kernel
[13:11] <lordievader> I'd try a live cd. A virtual machine will probably not tell you if the problem lies with the software/configuration.
[13:23] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> nobody has an hint on how to fix it ?
[13:32] <m5w> Hello. I'm trying to use WICD instead of NetworkManager. If I install just wicd-kde, wicd-client doesn't exist, and I can't figure out how to start any kind of WICD plasmoid. It seems I have to install wicd-gtk to be able to use WICD. There must be a way around this. How do I use WICD with just wicd-kde?
[13:35] <BluesKaj> m5w, think on kde it's just wicd
[13:36] <m5w> BluesKaj, the package or the client?
[13:36] <m5w> the wicd command is the daemon for me
[13:36] <m5w> unless there's some way to pass it args to start as the client?
[13:36] <BluesKaj> it's a metapackage
[13:37] <BluesKaj> so you have to chode which client manually
[13:37] <BluesKaj> chose
[13:37] <BluesKaj> choose even
[13:37] <m5w> ah, yes, the wicd package depends on wicd-gtk or wicd-curses or wicd-cli or wicd-client, which wicd-cli, wicd-curses, wicd-gtk, and wicd-kde provide
[13:38] <m5w> so logically, I'd be able to install wicd wicd-kde
[13:38] <m5w> wicd itself doesn't provide the client
[13:38] <m5w> and wicd-kde doesn't provide one either
[13:38] <m5w> nor does wicd-daemon
[13:39] <BluesKaj> are you looking in the package manager, I'm on a different distro atm, so i can't check
[13:39] <BluesKaj> m5w,^
[13:40] <m5w> https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/wicd
[13:41] <BluesKaj> check your package manager first
[13:41] <BluesKaj> it's always best to use that as a reference , at least
[13:43] <m5w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25025209/
[13:44] <m5w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25025215/
[13:47] <m5w> still here. Meant to say /close on another channel, not /quit :)
[13:50] <m5w> So do I need wicd-gtk installed to use WICD on Kubuntu?
[13:51] <BluesKaj> m5w, why wicd tho?
[13:51] <m5w> if so, how do I start the WICD plasmoid? I don't see it when I say "Add Widges..."
[13:51] <m5w> BluesKaj, because NetworkManager doesn't remember passwords without kwallet
[13:52] <m5w> it just started doing that; really annoying
[13:52] <m5w> makes me type in the password every time
[13:52] <m5w> either that or use kwallet, in which case I have to enter my password after already entering my password to login
[13:52] <BluesKaj> NM will remmeber them if you use all users option and disable kwallet
[13:53] <m5w> oh, okay
[13:53] <BluesKaj> that's what i had to do on my laptop
[13:53] <m5w> I've already disabled kwallet; so I just say allow all users to join network?
[13:53] <BluesKaj> if you feel safe with that setup
[13:54] <BluesKaj> yes
[13:54] <m5w> well, I'm on a single-user machine...
[13:54] <m5w> how would that not be safe?
[13:54] <BluesKaj> single user is safe
[13:55] <BluesKaj> just have a decent pw for your wifi AP
[13:56] <BluesKaj> and don't use ch6, cause it's default on windows and most linux wifis as well , so it can become quite crowded
[13:56] <m5w> wifi AP?
[13:57] <m5w> like the WPA-PSK?
[13:57] <BluesKaj> access point
[13:57] <BluesKaj> yes your security pw
[14:02] <m5w> ok, thanks
[14:03] <m5w> is there a way to get NM to connect to the WiFi by boot-level 3?
[14:03] <m5w> i.e. without me having to login
[14:04] <m5w> so that smartd, ntpd, et al. will have a network connection at startup
[14:21] <edward__> after 3 days trying to see why my wifi is so damn slow... i tried to remember what is different in this room since the wife got cracked down... well i moved my cameras that have absolutly no connection to my pc... i had em in other place... 80 Cmts away from the play i put em always... i moved em back... my wifi works fine again.... i mean... WTH???????
[14:22] <edward__> is not fully back... but it works a lot better...
[14:22] <viewer|5936> Hey guys. Is any one else having issues booting the latest Kubuntu ISO in VMware Workstation 12 Player? It'll just boot to a black screen after showing the Kubuntu logo for minute or so.
[14:26] <BluesKaj> edward__, wireless cameras? if so the RF could interferind and slowing down your internet wifi
[14:26] <BluesKaj> could be interfering
[14:30] <edward__> noup... DSRL cameras... all of em are not on
[14:33] <edward__> but i mean... the improvment is like 50%... but i got this issues kinda always after the Maid clean this room... dunno what she does, cuz we are not here, at that time we are working... but she already left the router outta energy and stuff like that... hehehehe
[14:34] <edward__> i can use the internet now a bit better... but still... it is very slow... but i have no idea how to find interferences
[14:35] <viewer|5936> Get Wifi Analyzer for your phone
[14:35] <viewer|5936> It will show you the wifi spectrums overlapping
[14:58] <JMichaelX> i have a Skype [unfortunately] interview this afternoon. could anyone tell me how well Skype is likely to work in Kubuntu 16.04?
[15:05] <KNOCKOUT\giusepp> it works well I'm not sure if it supports group calls
