[01:04] there is some application that cancels my logouts but kde isn't telling me [01:04] it just says "logout cancelled by """ === Unit193 is now known as HeadlessHorseman === LightAmaze is now known as Guest54209 [05:03] Pardon, is this an appropriate place to ask for assistance troubleshooting a boot issue with kubuntu? [05:12] user|32525: don't know but just shoot [05:14] 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] xit, but I can't figure out how to get the menu back [05:20] hey [05:36] 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] Good morning [08:44] hey folks :) [08:50] back again [08:57] hello? [09:19] ello again [09:31] John852: you're a bit bouncy, and I didnt see any question. maybe you just wanted to say hello :D [09:33] 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] Where are you struggeling? [09:41] ok..im gonna try something.... === john__ is now known as John852 [09:43] ok...im back for good this time :D [09:49] 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] im a simple minded guy so im looking for a simple solution [09:50] John852: click the network icon in your tray, then the uh.. little.. thing, to go into settings === john is now known as Guest81349 [09:50] Click Add, pick openvpn, fill in stuff [09:51] John852: or if you have a file, I think you can import it under the Connection menu [09:51] Usually the vpn provider supplies a configuration file (and cert), then it is as easy as doing `sudo openvpn ` [09:52] ok, so Konversation is only marginally more stable === enzo is now known as Guest8821 [10:02] ok, thanks :) [10:02] thats sounds a lot simpler than what i have been reading on some websites === Guest81349 is now known as John85 === John85 is now known as John852 [10:02] "/nick" does not appear to be working [10:14] 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] i upgraded from 16.04.3 [10:16] okular just makes as if it prints but the document goes not to printer queue [10:20] hi anton_p, wish i could help, i was planning on upgrading myself [10:24] i have two theories: it has something to do with upgraded ppd file or with new qt5 printint dialog. [10:24] anton_p: can you print *to* PDF from okular? [10:25] pdf from pdf? i can try [10:27] yes, it works [10:27] i'll try to remove and add printer again [10:32] "configure printer" doesn't show on [10:33] anton_p: what printer is this? for eg HP printers there are usually different drivers to pick from, sometimes Kubuntu guesses wrong [10:33] canon [10:33] on the other hand, it works in other apps... [10:33] gutenprint [10:33] anton_p: if you run okular from a terminal, and then try to do your stuff, does it spit out any information? [10:33] it worked before 17.10 [10:34] usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrstv] [-#num] [-1234 font] [-C class] [-i [numcols]] [10:34] [-J job] [-Pprinter] [-T title] [-U user] [-wnum] [name ...] [10:34] that's all [10:35] anton_p: so you ran okular, then pressed print in the gui? [10:36] and thats what spat out in the terminal? [10:36] exactly [10:37] heh, then it must send an incorrect string [10:37] I don't have a 17.10 to test with myself atm [10:37] looks like this bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499514 [10:37] Debian bug 499514 in okular "okular should recommend cups-bsd for printing" [Normal,Open] [10:37] anton_p: suggest you look for, or file a bug on [10:37] yeah [10:38] anton_p: file a bug on launchpad tho [10:38] !bug [10:38] If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers. [10:40] apt install cups-bsd lpr- -- fixed okular printing [10:40] thanks guys === john is now known as Guest85110 === Guest85110 is now known as John85 === LightAmaze is now known as Guest14460 === john is now known as Guest91715 === kamil_ is now known as kamil__ === kamil__ is now known as Sadistic === michal| is now known as naraj [14:07] 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] ystein: is it a clean install? [14:08] Asus laptop with Intel Core i5-42xx [14:09] 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] Oh yeah, it's Kubuntu 17.10. [14:11] ystein: nah no need to change anything [14:12] 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] ystein: does "/usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor" show it having some file opened? [14:13] ugh, "lsof /usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor" [14:14] ystein: as for plasmashell, that is usually due to some misbehaving plasmoid [14:14] hateball: fyi currently baloo_file_extractor uses very little CPU, it's plasmashell now [14:14] ystein: what GPU/driver are you using? [14:15] COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME [14:15] baloo_fil 1561 ystein txt REG 8,7 129168 1705313 /usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor [14:15] that's the output [14:16] hmm [14:17] no custom drivers in use, not even via Driver Manager. And I don't have a GPU. [14:17] 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] OK, I disabled it now. [14:18] Should I see an effect immediately or after a reboot? [14:19] iirc it should stop immediately, otherwise "balooctl stop" [14:19] I just reboot to make sure it lets go of everything [14:19] I'll reboot and check back in. brb [14:22] Hey, seems everything is back to normal now. [14:23] Normal meaning? [14:23] plasmashell and baloo are silent, no cpu spikes [14:24] ystein: did you enable baloo again? [14:24] I just did. [14:24] guess you will notice in a while if it finds some file it doesnt like and starts being annoying again [14:26] Can I exclude certain file types from the index, such as zip and tar.gz? [14:27] I mean, does it index the contents of zipped folders? If it does then no wonder I get cpu spikes [14:30] I don't remember if it indexes tars or zips actually [14:30] you can exclude directories if you like [14:31] hateball: Thanks for the help!
