grahamperrin[m] | Back to basics for a moment. With FreeBSD, I know that hibernate e.g. suspend to disk is not possible. With Kubuntu, I'm surprised to find a notebook with a flat battery after a period of sleep. | 03:06 |
---|---|---|
grahamperrin[m] | Must I set a preference, for Kubuntu to automatically hibernate when the battery drops below some level? | 03:07 |
DarinMiller | grahamperrin[m]: System settings -> Power Mang. -> Energy Savings -> On low battery (tab) | 03:14 |
DarinMiller | although, i am not sure it will wake from suspend to hibernate.... | 03:14 |
DarinMiller | hibernation has never been a strong point for Linux, so don't be surprised if you encounter issues. i.e. Ensure to save any work before testings. | 03:15 |
grahamperrin[m] | DarinMiller: thanks | 03:35 |
grahamperrin[m] | Digging deeper, in retrospect maybe it was not a flat battery. I charged it for a while, still no boot; removed the battery and it would not boot with the power adapter alone; reinserted the batter, removed the adapter, still no boot. Eventually rekindled by pressing and holding the power button probably whilst without the battery or power adapter. | 03:37 |
grahamperrin[m] | (I had previously pressed and held the power button, without effect.) | 03:37 |
grahamperrin[m] | Just one of those things. I had similar misbehaviour with the hardware (Ergo Vista 621) a handful of times in the past. | 03:38 |

lordievader | Good morning | 06:01 |
freakyy | hi ;D | 06:09 |
freakyy | what do u guys think, should i try out kde? ... i currently only have ubuntu gnome installed and i wonder how kde looks like now with 17.10 ;D | 06:09 |
freakyy | if i install kubuntu-desktop, will it also install plymouth theme or just install but not switch default? | 06:10 |
hateball | Yep! | 06:10 |
freakyy | ok so then - i need to install kubuntu-desktop right? | 06:10 |
freakyy | hateball: | 06:11 |
hateball | freakyy: Yeah, to get all associated applications etc | 06:12 |
freakyy | ok installing. download at 1,5MB/s means, around 4 mins 30 secs to download everything ;D | 06:12 |
hateball | :) | 06:12 |
freakyy | i wonder, is the default theme good or should i try something like | 06:13 |
freakyy | adapta | 06:13 |
hateball | freakyy: Personally I use look&feel to pick breeze-dark | 06:13 |
lordievader | What you could also do, if you don't want to mess with your current install, is download a live image. | 06:13 |
hateball | freakyy: installing kubuntu-desktop will also change your login manager to sddm instead of.. whatever vanilla ubuntu uses now | 06:14 |
freakyy | nah, i can easily switch back plymouth and i guess, what does gdm use as login manager? | 06:14 |
hateball | well, you'll get asked which you want to use | 06:14 |
freakyy | i mean, gnome | 06:14 |
freakyy | gdm right? and not kdm? | 06:14 |
freakyy | hateball: ok ;D | 06:14 |
hateball | it used to be lightdm, but I am not sure if they switched back to gdm | 06:15 |
freakyy | i think they switched back to gdm | 06:15 |
freakyy | as gdm is installed | 06:15 |
freakyy | lightdm isnt | 06:16 |
freakyy | how do i switch display manager lager on? | 06:18 |
freakyy | if i wanna try sddm but wanna switch back to gdm too? | 06:18 |
freakyy | its installin now | 06:18 |
freakyy | sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 06:19 |
freakyy | found out ;D | 06:19 |
freakyy | thx | 06:19 |
freakyy | it will take another 5 minutes i guess to install | 06:19 |
freakyy | hateball: hm ok (about breeze-dark) | 06:27 |
freakyy | 1/3 left | 06:29 |
freakyy | im installing on my laptop so everythins a bit slow | 06:29 |
freakyy | but i might like kde but still, gnome is good | 06:29 |
freakyy | does kde have something like these windows 10 features, where, only the icon is in the bottom bar and u can "stick" it to the panel? | 06:29 |
lordievader | KDE goes very far in customizing it how you like it. I think that what you describe is possible. | 06:31 |
freakyy | ok thanks | 06:33 |
freakyy | the install is soon finished | 06:33 |
freakyy | ill then - switch desktops | 06:33 |
freakyy | wahts the default console für kde? still konsole? | 06:33 |
freakyy | it finished installing | 06:33 |
freakyy | switching, brb | 06:33 |
hateball | freakyy: you can rightclick running apps and "pin a launcher when not running" or some such | 06:34 |
* hateball only uses hotkeys or krunner to launch things, has no icons | 06:34 | |
* lordievader same here | 06:35 | |
freakyy | yay | 06:58 |
freakyy | i like kde | 06:58 |
freakyy | it looks good | 06:58 |
freakyy | the dark theme | 06:58 |
freakyy | etc. | 06:59 |
freakyy | though i dont like konsole better than gnome terminal | 06:59 |
freakyy | hm kubuntu has many features | 07:01 |
freakyy | i must say | 07:01 |
freakyy | it looks nice | 07:01 |
freakyy | is it possible that its slower than gnome? oO | 07:01 |
freakyy | i mean takes longer to bood | 07:02 |
hateball | what do you mean by boot? | 07:03 |
hateball | from the time you enter password until desktop shows? | 07:03 |
hateball | freakyy: also note that the first time you run, baloo will index your ~/ so that slows it down a bit | 07:03 |
hateball | well, not only the first time, continously, but the first time will be noticeable.. | 07:04 |
freakyy | hateball: yes ... the desktop takes long to load. especially, firs tsteam is displayed, then discord ... and later first the desktop | 07:05 |
freakyy | i like kde connect | 07:05 |
hateball | :) | 07:05 |
freakyy | but dont know where my music files are free-hand ;D | 07:05 |
freakyy | how can i make the bottom bar default size | 07:06 |
freakyy | i played with it now its too smal | 07:06 |
freakyy | l | 07:06 |
hateball | well... resize it? | 07:07 |
hateball | the way you made it smaller, make it bigger :p | 07:07 |
valorie | hit the "hamburger" menu and resize | 07:07 |
freakyy | hateball: hm, id like to stick with the default | 07:09 |
freakyy | a pitty u cant reset to default | 07:09 |
=== him-cesjf is now known as himcesjf | ||
freakyy | hm | 07:12 |
freakyy | is there anything in kde i should check out? :D | 07:12 |
freakyy | im already usin breeze dark | 07:12 |
freakyy | ;D | 07:12 |
freakyy | can i uninstall ubuntu desktop im wondering | 07:13 |
freakyy | or should i do a fresh install | 07:13 |
freakyy | but then id have to do it on 2 pcs | 07:13 |
freakyy | and install lots of stuff again | 07:13 |
hateball | freakyy: well... if you uninstall ubuntu-desktop I guess it might have common deps with kubuntu-desktop and that would cause unwanted breakage | 07:14 |
freakyy | ok | 07:14 |
freakyy | then il just keep ubuntu | 07:14 |
hateball | so if you want "clean" then installing clean is the only way I'd say | 07:14 |
hateball | least painful, at any rate | 07:15 |
hateball | unless you're strapped for disk space there's not much point in removing the gnome stuff | 07:15 |
freakyy | ok ;D | 07:15 |
hateball | suppose it saves time during upgrades etc | 07:15 |
freakyy | nah i have lots of disk space | 07:15 |
freakyy | doesnt matter | 07:15 |
freakyy | i used kde back before plasma | 07:17 |
freakyy | ;D | 07:17 |
freakyy | nice how it evolved ;D | 07:17 |
freakyy | hope they continue adding cool features | 07:17 |
hateball | I think that's the general idea :p | 07:18 |
hateball | but yeah, a "restore fresh session" option might be something nice, but it does not exist for now | 07:18 |
hateball | freakyy: you can however rightclick a "broken" panel and remove it, then rightclick the workspace and add a new default panel | 07:18 |
=== yankeepape is now known as yankeepape_ | ||
freakyy | i have another question. google chrome doesnt have like, the normal close/minimzie etc. buttons but instead the default kde ones. usually chrome doesnt use system window decorations? | 07:23 |
freakyy | oh wait | 07:24 |
freakyy | now it doesnt but | 07:24 |
freakyy | it doesnt display minimize/close etc at all now | 07:24 |
freakyy | want a screenshot? | 07:27 |
freakyy | if i maximize the window it wont work | 07:27 |
freakyy | no more close/maximize/minimize | 07:27 |
freakyy | how to make screenshots in kde? | 07:28 |
freakyy | https://i.imgur.com/9G8QBPX.png | 07:30 |
freakyy | also on the lower right u can see, 2 icons not visible - thats steam and owncloud | 07:35 |
freakyy | how can i make them visible? | 07:35 |
freakyy | i might need to change something dunno one moment relogging in | 07:35 |
freakyy | ah nm not now | 07:35 |
freakyy | later | 07:35 |
oerheks | what is that 'Uwe' label ? | 07:36 |
freakyy | thats my name | 07:36 |
freakyy | its logged in into google chrome - and synchronization | 07:36 |
oerheks | oke, so logged in on your google account, it displays over the min-max-close? | 07:36 |
hateball | freakyy: you can rightclick chrome title bar and tell it to use system decorations or not | 07:37 |
hateball | it's the same with chromium, and in for example incognito mode as well (not logged in) | 07:38 |
hateball | it started a while back, I forgot about filing a bug for it | 07:38 |
hateball | freakyy: you should see the window controls if Chrome isnt maximized tho | 07:38 |
freakyy | yes but i dont want to use system-bar and if i dont use system bar, it shows like on the screenshot | 07:39 |
freakyy | yes then i see them | 07:39 |
hateball | freakyy: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=375650 | 07:40 |
freakyy | thats a real pitty | 07:41 |
freakyy | that it doesnt work like this | 07:41 |
freakyy | it should work ;( | 07:42 |
freakyy | and that since 2013? | 07:42 |
hateball | lol there's older chromium bugs than that xD | 07:42 |
oerheks | or it is the " That button which appears next to the min/max/close button is called "Enable new profile management " | 07:43 |
freakyy | i voted for the bug | 07:44 |
freakyy | brb restart | 07:49 |
hateball | freakyy: as you can see it is duplicate of https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=594490 tho, and that seems like it should be fixed in 63 | 07:51 |
freakyy | im using chrome beta but still the problem ;D | 08:01 |
freakyy | btw, every time i try to shutdown or restart, the lower right thing says: "Shutdown canceled by """ | 08:02 |
freakyy | and if i do it again it works then | 08:02 |
jonathan_x | Anyone have a clue how I can get LVM to ignore a physical volume that was previously activated? | 08:04 |
jonathan_x | I mean how can I completely remove a physical volume from the memory of the system? | 08:04 |
jonathan_x | Filtering doesn't work, it is still using the volume group and its volumes, even after I deactivated the vg. | 08:05 |
jonathan_x | Oh apologies, I used "filter" instead of "global_filter" | 08:08 |
freakyy | hateball? :) | 08:11 |
hateball | freakyy: What? | 08:12 |
freakyy | hateball: do u know about the problem that when u click shutdown, it stops with message: Shutdown canceled by "" ? | 08:13 |
freakyy | because i have to click twice every time | 08:13 |
hateball | probably caused by some app you've got running | 08:14 |
freakyy | yea :( | 08:15 |
hateball | trial and error is all I can suggest, not sure if there's a way to enable some verbose logging of plasmashell | 08:16 |
freakyy | ok but i want to use all programs that i have running | 08:17 |
freakyy | oh and i dont need ibus panel | 08:17 |
freakyy | can i stop it from beeing displayed? | 08:17 |
freakyy | hm, id like a better font for konsole let me check | 08:20 |
hateball | freakyy: I mean that if you kill apps 1 by 1 before shutdown you'd find out which one prevents proper shutdown, and then you can troubleshoot that | 08:21 |
freakyy | i know | 08:21 |
freakyy | yea i will have to do that | 08:21 |
freakyy | now i have a nice font | 08:21 |
freakyy | i like ubuntu mono | 08:22 |
freakyy | :) | 08:22 |
freakyy | as console font | 08:22 |
freakyy | :D | 08:22 |
freakyy | better than "Hack" ;D | 08:22 |
hateball | for instance Steam used to prevent proper shutdown, so it had to be closed first | 08:22 |
freakyy | yes i have steam installed | 08:22 |
freakyy | cant they do anything bout that | 08:22 |
freakyy | with gnome it works | 08:22 |
hateball | I said used to, it should be fixed | 08:28 |
freakyy | does kde have a bluelight filter | 08:28 |
hateball | It was just an example, I don't know what applications you run | 08:28 |
freakyy | ok thanks :D | 08:29 |
freakyy | do u know if kde has a bluelight filter? | 08:29 |
valorie | freakyy: it's coming | 08:29 |
freakyy | awkay ;D | 08:29 |
valorie | if it's not already in plasma 5.11.1 | 08:29 |
freakyy | thx ^^ | 08:29 |
valorie | which is what I'm running | 08:29 |
freakyy | valorie: r u on kubuntu 17.10? | 08:29 |
freakyy | im on kubuntu 17.10 | 08:29 |
valorie | will soon be available in backports for Artful | 08:29 |
freakyy | ok ;D | 08:29 |
freakyy | how do i enable backports with kde? | 08:30 |
valorie | oh yes, have been since the alpha | 08:30 |
valorie | !backports | 08:30 |
ubottu | If new updated packages are built for an application, they may go into Kubuntu Backports, which is one of the official Kubuntu PPAs. See https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs for more information. | 08:30 |
dax | there's a plasma widget for redshift, if plasma doesn't have it built in yet | 08:30 |
valorie | yup | 08:30 |
hateball | like valorie said, it will come with kwin in 5.11 | 08:30 |

valorie | redshift works pretty well these days | 08:30 |
freakyy | oh i have to add an extra ppa? | 08:30 |
valorie | backports is a PPA, yes | 08:31 |
valorie | only tested stuff goes in there | 08:31 |
valorie | I've always run backports and never had a problem | 08:31 |
valorie | for like 7 years | 08:31 |
freakyy | awkay thx ;D | 08:32 |
valorie | we might wait until Plasma 5.11.2 because there is one bugfix we want to get in there | 08:33 |
freakyy | ok :) adding backports on my laptop now too | 08:33 |
freakyy | is there any integration with owncloud in kde?= | 08:35 |
hateball | freakyy: you can install the owncloud client if you like | 08:37 |
hateball | last time I did it wiped my kwallet without asking, but that was a while ago | 08:38 |
hateball | I've only used it through a browser since | 08:38 |
freakyy | ok then ill use the one from their website, thx ;D | 08:38 |
valorie | nextcloud might be a better bet | 08:38 |
valorie | the original maintainer went there | 08:39 |
freakyy | nah i have an owncloud server | 08:39 |
freakyy | no, it's steam :( | 08:42 |

EvilRoey | is kubuntu 17.10 with wayland by defualt or with x.org ? | 16:10 |

EvilRoey | ok | 16:13 |
EvilRoey | thanks!! | 16:13 |
freakyy | EvilRoey: it has Wayland default, but if u have some properity driver installed like nvidia, it will automatically stick to xorg - it did that for me ;D | 16:24 |
EvilRoey | freakyy: SEEE that's what I was wondering | 16:26 |
EvilRoey | so thanks :) | 16:26 |
EvilRoey | because I also have an NVidia card | 16:26 |
freakyy | EvilRoey: yea np ;D | 16:26 |

freakyy | i dont know how it is with kubuntu (plasma) | 16:27 |
freakyy | wait lemme check if i have any options | 16:27 |
freakyy | strangely it has Ubuntu (Wayland) Ubuntu (Xorg) and Plasma but no Plasma (wayland) or Plasma (Xorg) ... | 16:30 |
freakyy | its a good question EvilRoey | 16:30 |
freakyy | can anyone help us here? | 16:30 |
freakyy | :D | 16:30 |
freakyy | ok vrmuppalla says kubuntu uses xorg ... that might be the reason why theres only 1 menu entry ... and its not using wayland at all ;D | 16:32 |
EvilRoey | ok | 16:37 |
EvilRoey | well then! problem solved | 16:37 |
EvilRoey | vrmuppalla, freakyy: thanks for your assistance! | 16:37 |

IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> Good day everyone! | 20:31 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> can anyone recommend me a good pfd editor for kubuntu? | 20:32 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> apart from libreoffice off course | 20:32 |
valorie | okular | 20:32 |
valorie | da best! | 20:32 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @valorie, Hi valorie! i use okular for viewing but i have never been able to edit with it, i want to delete some text in a pdf specifically | 20:34 |
valorie | the underlying permissions have to be there to allow that | 20:35 |
valorie | but I suppose there are ways to crack in *some* of them | 20:35 |
valorie | there is #okular for more in-depth info | 20:36 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @valorie, will ask there, thank you | 20:36 |
valorie | best of luck! | 20:37 |
IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> @DGUERRERO, https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/ | 20:41 |
IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> not open source, but free version always worked ok for me | 20:41 |
IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> okular can only annotate, not edit as far as I know | 20:42 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @acheronuk, I'll check it out, thank you | 20:43 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> ram | 20:44 |
vrmuppalla | masterpdf https://code-industry.net/masterpdfeditor/ has free and paid ($50) versions. | 20:55 |
viewer|57484 | hello all. really digging kubuntu but am having a hard time adjust to the theme engine. please no flaming but how can i make it more user friendly and dare i say a little more like windows? | 20:58 |
viewer|57484 | or at least change the taskbar at the bottom | 20:58 |
valorie | dunno what windows is like but everything is configurable | 21:00 |
valorie | and look at store.kde.org for some theming choices | 21:00 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @viewer|57484, kubuntu by default is very much windows-alike in apperance, which feature are you looking for? | 21:03 |
viewer|57484 | DGUERRERO | 21:14 |
viewer|57484 | thanks for your response. i just want themes really | 21:14 |

viewer|57484 | valorie pointed me to the store which i installed but i believe Kubuntu uses kde3 themes? | 21:15 |

valorie | ! | 21:16 |
valorie | no | 21:16 |
valorie | we're very up-to-date | 21:16 |
sparker781 | well i am new to Kubuntu | 21:16 |
valorie | and what we release is stock plasma | 21:16 |
valorie | no special theming | 21:17 |
sparker781 | you need to not be so harsh | 21:17 |
valorie | ! | 21:17 |
sparker781 | I have no idea what i am doing | 21:17 |
valorie | I'm trying to give you information | 21:17 |
valorie | welcome to Kubuntu, always lovely to have a new user | 21:17 |
sparker781 | thank you | 21:17 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @viewer|57484, i think it's the opposite, in the kde store you will find quite a lot old themes, maybe not compatible anymore | 21:18 |
sparker781 | im trying its for my work | 21:18 |
valorie | @DGUERRERO is right, you need to be choosy | 21:18 |
sparker781 | that might be an issue. I clicked on find new themes in the desktop theme in settings and downloaded it but it's not showing up to choose it | 21:18 |
valorie | I wish they would figure out a way to shunt the old stuff to the bottom of the lists or something | 21:18 |
valorie | tag them by what versions they work with, or something | 21:19 |
sparker781 | why am i not seeing the theme i downloaded | 21:21 |
sparker781 | this is so frustrating | 21:21 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> how are you dowloading them? from the web page or directly from the theme settings? | 21:24 |
sparker781 | i figured it out. sometimes i dont have patience | 21:25 |
sparker781 | LOL | 21:25 |
sparker781 | how can i space out the task bar to look like windows. sorry but the options i have kind of suck. LOL | 21:31 |
IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @sparker781, what do you mean by space? do yow want the icons-only appareance of win7? | 21:35 |
=== nado_ is now known as nooryani84 | ||
sparker781 | @IrcsomeBot | 21:54 |
sparker781 | yes similar to how windows does it if possible | 21:54 |
sparker781 | the rest im cool with as far as how it operates and what not. just the look is just meh | 21:54 |
valorie | right-click in an empty area and change to icons-only | 22:04 |
valorie | you always have choices if you can find the place to make 'em | 22:04 |
valorie | if you google for "how to make plasma 5 look like windows" I'm sure you will get lots of hits | 22:06 |
marting | Hi. So, I installed kubuntu 17.10 today, and noticed that with netextender (VPN solution of SonicWall), I have a major memory leak (java). How do I debug this? Any suggestions? | 22:25 |
marting | Are there any alternatives to netExtender for sonicwall vpn? | 22:26 |
marting | it is eating about 8 MB per second | 22:27 |
marting | Funny thing: On another machine, running Fedora, and the exact same version of java (openjdk 1.8.0._144, build 18.0_144_b01), and the exact same version of netextender (8.6.801), there is no memory leak. It is stable at ~130MB | 22:31 |
clivejo | marting: probably best to ask in Ubuntu channel | 22:32 |
marting | clivejo: ok, will go there | 22:32 |
