John85Hey folks :)11:28
BluesKajHiyas all11:56
John85damn connection :(11:59
John85or something11:59
John85hi mega :)12:00
John85think it might be my connection,  trying to download 17.10 and it keeps stalling12:01
=== mega is now known as _f009-brz
John85i have 2 questions, i know i have asked before,  but forgot to make a note of them12:01
John85best and easiest to use VPN client and post install update commands :)12:03
John85meh :(12:11
John85well,  at least im making progress with my download12:11
BluesKajHi John85, openvpn is the most stable and easily setup vpn client/protocol12:13
John85ok,  thanks BluesKaj :)12:14
John85as soon as i get my SSD ill sort all that out, and if i'll probably upgrade to 17.10 as well12:17
BluesKajI recommend using a paid vpn service like PIA or Nordvpn, for speed and securiy reasons, quite cheap at 5 bucks US /mos12:21
John85i was going to use Nord vpn12:22
BluesKajgood12:22
John85i best go do some work12:33
John85bye for now12:33
BluesKajok, later12:34
R13oseHi13:08
nsklaushi there. anyone tried running pygame app on kde desktop ? here the task manager gets unresponsive for a while even after the pygame app is closed. then after some random time suddenly task-manager starts working again.13:25
nsklausas i'm making a small pygame app, i have to launch it often, and so my task-manager is often frozen. i tried other ones, likes latte-docks, icon-only-task-manager, and so on. it's the same problem on all of them.13:27
nsklausif this is not the right place to ask such question, could anyone tell me where should i ask ?13:28
clivejonsklaus: what version of the KDE desktop?13:35
nsklauslatest, on artful too13:35
nsklausplasma 5.10.9513:35
nsklauskde framework 5.38.013:36
nsklausqt 5.9.113:36
nsklaus(thanks for the reply, btw :)13:36
=== juboxi is now known as jubo2
clivejowhere did you get 5.10.95 from?13:38
nsklausprobably a ppa13:39
nsklaushold on i can tell the repo,13:39
clivejonawty!13:39
clivejowhat game are you trying to run?13:39
nsklausdeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu artful main13:40
nsklausmy own game, i'm making it13:40
nsklausi'm following this tutoarial:13:41
nsklaushttps://github.com/kidscancode/pygame_tutorials/tree/master/tilemap/working13:41
nsklausso one could run that if needed. but it's the same with other pygame apps too13:42
nsklausthis ppa i'm using is referenced on kubuntu's site:13:48
nsklaushttps://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-11-beta-available-in-unofficial-ppa-for-testing-on-artful/13:48
clivejodo you have a desktop file to launch it?13:49
nsklausno, i just launch it from my ide (sublime text) or atom, or pycharm13:49
nsklausor shell13:49
nsklauspython3 main.py13:49
clivejowhen you say task manager becomes unresponsive, do you mean ksysguard?13:51
nsklausi mean, in my panel i have widget 'icon-only-task-manager', but i tried with others too, like normal panel widget 'task-manager' i tried latte-dock too. all produce same result:13:53
clivejohave you kept ksysguard open while you execute your game?13:54
nsklauswhen i launch my pygame project, they become frozen. even after i quit my pygame project, they are still unresponsive for some time, this can vary: few seconds (as in 30s) or few minutes (5mn for example)13:54
nsklausno, i have not kept ksysguard opened13:54
clivejosort the process list by CPU and see if there is a run away process13:55
clivejoor even by memory, could be a memory leak?13:55
nsklausok i'm tried thatnow13:55
nsklaus*trying13:55
nsklausmy project is running so far it's stable at: "24%" cpu, and "35 436 kb  memory13:58
clivejoany other processes acting strangely?13:58
nsklauscpu is mostly idle, and chromium is the top memory consumer it seems: 465 400kb .. overall everything seems to run fine14:00
BluesKaj0.14:00
nsklausuptime says:14:00
nsklaus16:00:32 up 10 days, 22:18,  3 users,  load average: 4,00, 2,45, 1,3914:00
nsklausthings are stable14:00
nsklausclivejo: i've just terminated my app, and task-manager is completely frozen14:03
clivejoanything showing in Ksysguard now?14:03
R13oseHi14:03
nsklausclivejo: no, it doesn't look like so14:04
R13oseHow do I make the 3/4 white screen go away?14:04
nsklausclivejo: task-manager just woke up now14:05
clivejonsklaus: very strange, I have never seen that behaviour before.  I used to have an issue when viewing build logs with the browser and task manager going unresponsive, but that was a memory leak14:05
nsklausclivejo: btw, ksysguard didn't show any slow down, or memory increasing14:05
nsklausclivejo: it would be interesting to know if this happens to others too or just me14:06
clivejoand would start eating up memory, the slowdown happened when it exhausted my RAM and started filling up Virtual Memory14:06
clivejonsklaus: you could try asking in #plasma14:07
nsklausclivejo: thanks i go try that14:07
clivejobut usually apps and games are launched from a desktop file14:07
clivejoR13ose: white screen?!14:09
R13oseYes14:09
clivejoI don't know of any white screen in Kubuntu14:09
R13oseWell I got that14:09
clivejoat what stage?14:10
R13oseAt the desktop stage14:11
clivejothe wallpaper?14:11
clivejois there any way you could capture an image of what you are seeing?14:12
R13oseHow?14:13
clivejomobile phone?14:13
R13oseSure14:13
R13oseWhere do I upload this?14:15
BluesKajR13ose, https://postimages.org/14:16

clivejodoes it do that everytime?14:19
clivejoand when did it start doing that?14:19
R13oseNope14:19
R13oseI am unsure did once awhile back and once a couple of days ago14:20
clivejodoes the login screen appear?14:20
R13oseI am past that screen14:20
clivejoor is this before even the login?14:20
R13oseAfter logging in14:21
clivejoso this is between sddm login and getting to the plasma desktop?14:21
R13oseI am on the desktop14:21
R13oseWhen I tried to kill opera browser before got black screen and needed to shut down and turn on again14:23
R13oseThis was a couple of days ago14:23
clivejowhat version of Kubuntu?14:23
R13ose17.1014:23
clivejoclean install?14:24
R13oseDistro upgrade14:24
clivejofrom ?14:24
R13ose17.0414:24
clivejosome of your config files might have got messed up14:25
R13oseAs I said this happened once awhile back and once a couple of days ago before upgrade14:26
BluesKajR13ose, did you update and upgrade your 17.04 packages before doing do-release-upgrade14:26
R13oseYes14:26
clivejodo you use any additional PPA's?14:27
R13oseHow do I know?14:27
R13oseWhat command can I use to check that?14:29
nsklaussee if you have additional repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/14:29
nsklausbeside default ones14:29
nsklausgrep -R "ppa" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/14:30
nsklausclivejo: btw, i can see now it's the whole kde panel that's frozen, not just the task-manager. i did not notice it since i was mostly annoyed by task-manager being unresponsive, but now i see it's the whole panel, not just task-manager.14:32
R13oseHere is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25836928/14:33
nsklausR13ose: so the answer is yes: you do use PPAs14:33
clivejoand a lot of them :/14:35
R13oseSo14:35
nsklausR13ose: you seem to have mixed versions too, i see some for xenial, some for yakkety, wily ..14:35
R13oseHow do I get rid of old ones?14:36
nsklauszesty ..14:36
nsklausR13ose: you could use ppa-purge i guess14:36
R13oseNo automatic way?14:36
nsklausyou added them one by one, you remove them one by one, using ppa-purge for example.14:37
R13oseIs that going to fix my problem?14:37
clivejoI don't even know what the problem is, but will all those extra packages installed, with different versions, it makes figuring out the problem very difficult14:39
=== danilo_ is now known as danilo__
nsklausR13ose: i haven't followed earlier chat, i don't know about your particular problem, i just saw you asking "how do one can confirm if using ppa..14:39
clivejonsklaus: a white screen https://postimg.org/image/7edwctrrsr/14:39
clivejoafter login, but before plasma desktop14:39
R13oseNo.  This is on the plasma desktop14:40
R13oseWhat ppa's, do I not remove, zesty?14:40
nsklausR13ose: try to create a new user, then log into this new user, see if your session starts normaly or not14:41
R13oseDon't I have to log out?14:42
nsklausit's a quick way to diagnose if it's a general problem (your linux install) or just a configuration problem (just your user and all the scripts and settings in your home)14:42
R13oseThe issue is random so a new user might not show this14:42
nsklausyou could try to switch user (it will not terminate your session but open an additional one).14:42
R13oseHow?14:43
nsklausKde menu>power/session>switch user14:43
nsklausif you cannot access this then you could alway start a root terminal session with ctrl+alt+f1 or f2, or f3 ...14:44
nsklausfrom there you can kill X if needed, add a new user, and/or restart the system14:45
R13oseLets try to kill x, unless there is shortcut to switch user14:47
nsklausit will probably try to restart on its own after being killed14:47
R13oseHow to do that?14:48
nsklausit will do it on its own after being killed14:48
nsklausmost probably14:48
R13oseI need command to kill it14:49
nsklausah14:50
nsklausps -aux |grep X  <-- this will give you the pid of X14:50
nsklausthen sudo kill -9 (insert the pid here)14:51
nsklausfor example: $ sudo kill -9 102014:51
nsklauspid stands for process id14:52
R13oseYes that worked but did this really solve my white screen problem maybe not14:55
nsklausR13ose: you maybe could try the newly created user for a while and see if the problem happens for him too14:57
nsklausif yes: you have bigger problem.14:57
nsklausif not: seems it's mostly a problem in your user settings14:58
nsklaus*most probably14:59
R13oseI have one root user and one basic user14:59
nsklaussudo adduser joe15:00
nsklausthen try using your system as joe, for a while15:01
R13oseOkay15:01
nsklaustry keeping joe session vanilla, don't customize too much15:02
bobOnTheHillI have a new machine with Windows 10 installed.  I added another disk with Kubuntu 14 installed and successfully dual booted both, by tweaking the BIOS settings to support both UEFI and legacy.  I would like to upgrade it to Kubuntu 16.4 either by an upgrade process or wiping out the Kubuntu disk.   I want to avoid dual-boot software and just use B15:04
bobOnTheHillIOS to choose the disk I want to boot from.   Typically when I did this I disconnected the disk where Windows is installed, then install Kubuntu on to its own disk.  That's what I want to do know.   Install Kubuntu without Windows drive plugged in, get Kubuntu up and running, and then use BIOS to switch between the systems.  The question I have is15:04
bobOnTheHillwhether this will change state or EUFI related keys on the BIOS such that Windows won't start up after I installed Kubuntu.   Does Kubuntu install tweak BIOS with its own UEFI keys?15:04
oerheks!uefi15:05
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI15:05
bobOnTheHillI did.15:06
bobOnTheHillIt didn't clarify the question I have.   Does a Kubuntu install change state on the BIOS?   Forums imply as much, in that after Kubuntu installs Windows 10 aren't found.15:07
oerheksno, but if you have win dows in uefi, and kubuntu not, that is most likely the isssue: install kubuntu in uefi mode too15:08
oerheksor keep changing the uefi/legacy boot in your bios15:08
R13osieinthemiddThanks I am out15:08
bobOnTheHillKubuntu 14 is working fine.   I just want to nuke it, and give a fresh install of 16.4.   If I install kubuntu in uefi mode, will new keys be put in BIOS that Windows doesn't recognize?   There are lots of forums where people did this and lost the ability to get back to Windows 10?15:13
oerheksNo, not in the bios, but on the uefi partition, see the manual15:16
oerheksand really, lost windows 10? sounds like they did something wrong, basicly. cannot answer that.15:16
bobOnTheHillYes.   Lots of people installed Ubuntu or Kubuntu after installing Windows 10 with UEFI, but couldn't get back to Windows 10.  Ok, if the BIOS is not altered, what happens in the UEFI partition?15:20
oerhekspeople don't complain on forums when it works.15:21
bobOnTheHillUh huh.15:22
oerheksyou have a non standard situation, 2 disks, where most issues are happening on a single hdd/ssd15:23
=== gianni is now known as Guest77952
bobOnTheHillgoogle "windows 10 not working after installing ubuntu".   Lot's of people rely on BIOS settings to do dual boot, since it's clean and it minimizes one OS vendor's need to coordinate with another.   My approach is to remove the Windows disk physically and start from scratch.  So no UEFI partition is on board when I install Kubuntu on a fresh and di15:34
bobOnTheHillfferent disk.   If I can install 16.4 using legacy boot it sounds safe, since the disk with the original UEFI partition is not connected, and if the installation does not change BIOS.15:34
