[01:04] <Shibe> there is some application that cancels my logouts but kde isn't telling me
[01:04] <Shibe> it just says "logout cancelled by """
[05:03] <user|32525> Pardon, is this an appropriate place to ask for assistance troubleshooting a boot issue with kubuntu?
[05:12] <freetown> user|32525: don't know but just shoot
[05:14] <user|32525> Alright, thank you. I think this might actually be more pertinent to GRUB, frankly I'm really in over my head. My machine has a windows partition and a kubuntu one. In the past a menu would display allowing me to select which OS I wished to use, but now I boot to GRUB command line. I can boot to kubuntu with a set of commands or windows by typing e
[05:14] <user|32525> xit, but I can't figure out how to get the menu back
[05:20] <parveen> hey
[05:36] <parveen> i have installed gnome software center but it is not showing search bar. i have uninstalled and reinstalled it again but the problem remians same. can anyone help me on this.
[08:26] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:44] <John85> hey folks :)
[08:50] <John85> back again
[08:57] <John852> hello?
[09:19] <John85> ello again
[09:31] <hateball> John852: you're a bit bouncy, and I didnt see any question. maybe you just wanted to say hello :D
[09:33] <John852> i want to set up a vpn,  and im a simple minded fella so im looking for a simple way to set up openvpn :p
[09:34] <lordievader> Where are you struggeling?
[09:41] <John85> ok..im gonna try something....
[09:43] <John852> ok...im back for good this time :D
[09:49] <John852> so...i have installed openvpn and i need to know how to set it up before i spend £50 on a years subscruption to nordvpn
[09:49] <John852> im a simple minded guy so im looking for a simple solution
[09:50] <hateball> John852: click the network icon in your tray, then the uh.. little.. thing, to go into settings
[09:50] <hateball> Click Add, pick openvpn, fill in stuff
[09:51] <hateball> John852: or if you have a file, I think you can import it under the Connection menu
[09:51] <lordievader> Usually the vpn provider supplies a configuration file (and cert), then it is as easy as doing `sudo openvpn <config-file>`
[09:52] <Guest81349> ok,  so Konversation is only marginally more stable
[10:02] <Guest81349> ok,  thanks :)
[10:02] <Guest81349> thats sounds a lot simpler than what i have been reading on some websites
[10:02] <John852> "/nick" does not appear to be working
[10:14] <anton_p> ppl, kubuntu 17.10 has rather strange problem: i can't print pdfs from okular, but i can print them from evince, libre office, etc. what to check?
[10:15] <anton_p> i upgraded from 16.04.3
[10:16] <anton_p> okular just makes as if it prints but the document goes not to printer queue
[10:20] <john__> hi anton_p,  wish i could help,  i was planning on upgrading myself
[10:24] <anton_p> i have two theories: it has something to do with upgraded ppd file or with new qt5 printint dialog.
[10:24] <hateball> anton_p: can you print *to* PDF from okular?
[10:25] <anton_p> pdf from pdf? i can try
[10:27] <anton_p> yes, it works
[10:27] <anton_p> i'll try to remove and add printer again
[10:32] <anton_p> "configure printer" doesn't show on
[10:33] <hateball> anton_p: what printer is this? for eg HP printers there are usually different drivers to pick from, sometimes Kubuntu guesses wrong
[10:33] <anton_p> canon
[10:33] <hateball> on the other hand, it works in other apps...
[10:33] <anton_p> gutenprint
[10:33] <hateball> anton_p: if you run okular from a terminal, and then try to do your stuff, does it spit out any information?
[10:33] <anton_p> it worked before 17.10
[10:34] <anton_p> usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrstv] [-#num] [-1234 font] [-C class] [-i [numcols]]
[10:34] <anton_p>         [-J job] [-Pprinter] [-T title] [-U user] [-wnum] [name ...]
[10:34] <anton_p> that's all
[10:35] <hateball> anton_p: so you ran okular, then pressed print in the gui?
[10:36] <hateball> and thats what spat out in the terminal?
[10:36] <anton_p> exactly
[10:37] <hateball> heh, then it must send an incorrect string
[10:37] <hateball> I don't have a 17.10 to test with myself atm
[10:37] <anton_p> looks like this bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499514
[10:37] <hateball> anton_p: suggest you look for, or file a bug on
[10:37] <hateball> yeah
[10:38] <hateball> anton_p: file a bug on launchpad tho
[10:38] <hateball> !bug
[10:40] <anton_p> apt install cups-bsd lpr- -- fixed okular printing
[10:40] <anton_p> thanks guys
[14:07] <ystein> Hello. Performance issue here. The process plasmashell is using over 50% of my CPU power (varies betw 40-90%). For a day now plasmashell and baloo_file_extractor have constantly used about 25% CPU power. This issue has persisted across reboots.
[14:08] <hateball> ystein: is it a clean install?
[14:08] <ystein> Asus laptop with Intel Core i5-42xx
[14:09] <ystein> hateball: Clean install, not upgrade. Installed the beta about 3 weeks ago and have kept it updated since. Do I need to change repos?
[14:10] <ystein> Oh yeah, it's Kubuntu 17.10.
[14:11] <hateball> ystein: nah no need to change anything
[14:12] <hateball> ystein: it's normal that baloo_file_extractor uses a fair amount to index your stuff during the first runs, but sometimes it also hangs on a file for whatever reason
[14:13] <hateball> ystein: does "/usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor" show it having some file opened?
[14:13] <hateball> ugh, "lsof /usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor"
[14:14] <hateball> ystein: as for plasmashell, that is usually due to some misbehaving plasmoid
[14:14] <ystein> hateball: fyi currently baloo_file_extractor uses very little CPU, it's plasmashell now
[14:14] <hateball> ystein: what GPU/driver are you using?
[14:15] <ystein> COMMAND    PID   USER  FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
[14:15] <ystein> baloo_fil 1561 ystein txt    REG    8,7   129168 1705313 /usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor
[14:15] <ystein> that's the output
[14:16] <hateball> hmm
[14:17] <ystein> no custom drivers in use, not even via Driver Manager. And I don't have a GPU.
[14:17] <hateball> ystein: I've had it crap out on me some times, what I did then was "balooctl disabled" reboot, then "balooctl enable" and have it reindex things
[14:18] <ystein> OK, I disabled it now.
[14:18] <ystein> Should I see an effect immediately or after a reboot?
[14:19] <hateball> iirc it should stop immediately, otherwise "balooctl stop"
[14:19] <hateball> I just reboot to make sure it lets go of everything
[14:19] <ystein> I'll reboot and check back in. brb
[14:22] <ystein> Hey, seems everything is back to normal now.
[14:23] <hateball> Normal meaning?
[14:23] <ystein> plasmashell and baloo are silent, no cpu spikes
[14:24] <hateball> ystein: did you enable baloo again?
[14:24] <ystein> I just did.
[14:24] <hateball> guess you will notice in a while if it finds some file it doesnt like and starts being annoying again
[14:26] <ystein> Can I exclude certain file types from the index, such as zip and tar.gz?
[14:27] <ystein> I mean, does it index the contents of zipped folders? If it does then no wonder I get cpu spikes
[14:30] <hateball> I don't remember if it indexes tars or zips actually
[14:30] <hateball> you can exclude directories if you like
[14:31] <ystein> hateball: Thanks for the help!
[14:37] <hateball> ystein: :)
[18:02] <o_a> Hello, all. How do I set ksshaskpass to ask for my password when I log into ssh?
[18:03] <o_a> I tried setting SSH_ASKPASS but it didn't work
[23:31] <Zendaya> love
