[07:15] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:21] <zztopless> evening folks... does anyone know if it's possible to resize the application launcher (would like to make it taller, as I have to scroll to see all my favourites).  I'm running Linux Mint KDE 18.5, KDE version 5.8.7
[10:21] <zztopless> I have asked in #kde and the mint-linux channel, just thought I'd ask here, as I suspect it's a kde and or ubuntu issue
[10:34] <acheronuk> zztopless: I see you found http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2017/09/05/howto-here-is-how-to-resize-kde-plasma-application-launcher-main-menu/
[10:36] <zztopless> yeah, thanks for the effort though :-)
[10:37] <acheronuk> that is handy tip to know :)
[10:38] <zztopless> strange that a version change would make something I imagine is reasonably commonly used and and access to it only available through an obscure key combo, unless right-click + mouse2 is a universal action now?
[10:38] <zztopless> acheronuk: indeed :)
[11:02] <robertjulius> i know this is offtopic but.. Where do i go to learn javascript properly? inside an IDE rather than a webpage?
[11:02] <robertjulius> (or know a IRC channel where this question will find a host of good answers?)

[12:35] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:05] <parveen> hello
[13:05] <BluesKaj> hi parveen
[13:11] <parveen> hey i have installed kget from terminal. but when i try to open it from application launcher it is doing nothing. but it running in the process table
[13:21] <parveen> bye
[13:25] <clivejo> just tried that
[13:25] <clivejo> ~$ kget
[13:25] <clivejo> kget: error while loading shared libraries: libgpgme-pthread.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[13:26] <acheronuk> opens ok in artful
[13:28] <clivejo> hummm got a neon package installed
[13:29] <acheronuk> it also starts in the system tray here, not it's full window. maybe that is why they didn't see it
[13:30] <clivejo> ok, opens fine with Ubuntu archive version
[13:30]  * clivejo shrugs
[13:31] <clivejo> libgpgme11 (1.8.0-3ubuntu5)
[13:55] <TomTom> what could be the cause that i always have to run "dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf" after each start to get working name resolution? it seems networkmanager creates a resolvconf(link) with 127.0.0.56 as dns and after running resolvconf-reconfigure there is a resolvconf with 127.0.0.1 in it.
[14:09] <lordievader> TomTom: Do you have dnsmasq installed?
[14:11] <TomTom> lordievader: yes, its installed
[14:12] <lordievader> That is why NetworkManager sets the nameserver to 127.0.0.x, since it expects dnsmasq to resolve your queries.
[14:12] <lordievader> Is dnsmasq running.
[14:12] <lordievader> ?
[14:13] <TomTom> yes its runnin... normally i dont need it, i guess.
[14:14] <lordievader> Does it resolve queries correctly?
[14:20] <TomTom> i removed dnsmasq and restarted the system. after restart resolv.conf is again just a file (no symlink) with 127.0.1.1 as DNS, after reconfigure its a symlink and contains 127.0.0.53
[14:20] <TomTom> so its otherway round as i wrote above
[14:22] <lordievader> Hmm, usually you do want NM to add nameservers to resolv.conf, however to turn it off: https://askubuntu.com/questions/623940/network-manager-how-to-stop-nm-updating-etc-resolv-conf
[14:31] <TomTom> i want that NM does the setup. the question is why it writes 127.0.1.1 and should use somehow 127.0.0.53
[14:38] <TomTom> this seems to be the issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/966870/dns-not-working-after-upgrade-17-04-to-17-10
[14:40] <lordievader> Ah, good to know. The fix proposed works?
[14:53] <forelle> morning
[14:54] <forelle> I have kubuntu 17 running on an acer switch alpha 12 tablet and the stylus works, but the right mouse button middle clicks
[14:54] <forelle> any way to rebind stylus buttons?
[15:04] <TomTom> lordievader: of course not B-) but i found another issue after checking the journal again... ubuntu-fan failed during restart... enough for today with system maintenance, thanks for the help/ideas
[15:04] <lordievader> No problem
[15:06] <forelle> oh wow kde connect is lit
[16:02] <user|21489> does any body know when 17.04 will update
[17:22] <jipang_menjerit> ejat: ping
[18:08] <Smirnoffy> Hi i just installed Kubuntu and noticed that I can't run executable files. I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu.
[18:08] <Smirnoffy> Could anyone please help?
[18:13] <krytarik> Smirnoffy: I take it you mean via the file manager?
[18:15] <Smirnoffy> Home/Template I have a game folder with several executable files like, sdl, glx and dedicated.
[18:16] <Smirnoffy> krytarik
[18:16] <krytarik> I take this as a yes. :P
[18:17] <krytarik> No idea how Dolphin handles this by default.
[18:18] <Smirnoffy> It shows a red line above but if i click on it it becomes a green cross. But it doesn't change anything.
[18:19] <Smirnoffy> All files are marked to be run as executable so I don't know why it doesn't work.
[18:23] <krytarik> Ah that, I was tricked by it earlier too - it's a 'favorites' feature or somesuch.  But if you double-click the file properly or go through the context menu, you should be able to execute it still.
[18:25] <Smirnoffy> I hate spammed both my mouse and the enter button and even tried to run it in the terminal
[18:25] <Smirnoffy> Nothgin I do seem to work :(
[18:25] <Smirnoffy> have* but feel hate I guess, lol
[18:26] <Smirnoffy> What you mean with context menu?
[18:27] <krytarik> Right-clicking the file.
[18:30] <Smirnoffy> 1. Double clicked the file with mouse
[18:31] <Smirnoffy> 2. Tried to open it with enter (both Enter buttons)
[18:31] <Smirnoffy> 3. Tried to open it via the konsol/terminal
[18:32] <Smirnoffy> 4. Made sure it has permission for executable files
[18:32] <krytarik> Do you get an error message when you try it through the terminal?
[18:33] <Smirnoffy> This is what I have tried. Have even moved the entire folder out onto the desktop but same result there.
[18:33] <Smirnoffy> Yes, it says there is no such directory
[18:34] <krytarik> Well, that's nothing to do with the used desktop environment then anyway.
[18:34] <Smirnoffy> Quake Error: session lock /home/username/.xonotic/lock could not be acquired. Please run with -sessionid and an unique session name.
[18:35] <Smirnoffy> This is one of the errors I get, to be more specific
[18:38] <krytarik> Is this the only executable you have issues with?
[18:39] <Smirnoffy> I have tried sdl, glx and dedicated
[18:39] <Smirnoffy> none of responding
[18:39] <Smirnoffy> them*
[18:40] <krytarik> Anything else than that game?
[18:41] <Smirnoffy> Nopp
[18:42] <Smirnoffy> As I mentioned earlier have just installed it so haven't got that far yet
[18:42] <Smirnoffy> Isn't there anyone using Kubuntu in here who can help? i mean, it's a Kubuntu channel after all =/
[18:43] <krytarik> But it's no Quake one. :P
[18:43] <Smirnoffy> reading on the internet just gives me several years old threads with no solution
[18:45] <Smirnoffy> True, but as i mentioned earlier this wasn't a problem in Ubuntu
[18:45] <Smirnoffy> It was activated by default but now I'm totaly locked out =/
[18:48] <Smirnoffy> I don't understand what that red line or green/white + sign in left corner of the icon is for either. Since changing it doesn't make any difference.

[23:07] <elliotbirckof> hi
[23:14] <schnoodles> Anyone know what this actually is ? "apt-get -qq -y -d dist-upgrade" it is the main reason that 80% of the time when I start my machine I cannot update my system. Because apt has a lock file created because of that lingering command.
[23:29] <krytarik> schnoodles: It's about what was discussed here: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/10/25/%23ubuntu-devel.html
