[01:02] <malibu> Hi.  I'm trying to use Inkscape, which needs CTRL-drag when resizing to preserve aspect ratio.  When I attempt this in Kubuntu I just get the right click context dialog menu.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[01:10] <malibu> Never mind, was a (STUPID) vmware fusion setting
[01:46] <rfleming> Hi everyone
[01:46] <rfleming> new here.  I can't seem to get openconnect to work in KDE
[01:46] <rfleming> I created the profile, but when I click on connect... nothing happens
[02:21] <kaddi> hi, I was wondering if someone could help me (description to follow, typing it up now :p)
[02:23] <kaddi> I run kubuntu 16.04 on a laptop with bluetooth. I've used my phones in the past to tether over bluetooth. Now all these phones appear in the list of available wifi's when you click on the systray icon. Which means I can't see any of the actually available wifi's without scrolling down. I have deleted the bluetooth connections from the connection editor but they reappear after reboot. How do I get them to disappear forever
[02:25] <kaddi> Also, more generally.. how can I permanently delete a bluetooth device
[04:02] <Guest9656> PLEASE suggest a good email client
[04:03] <Unit193> Well it depends on what you consider "good", KDE likes kmail but I use alpine.
[04:04] <hggdh> my personal experience is I had to test-drive a series of email clients to find one I least disliked
[04:06] <kaddi> I've returned to webmail >.>
[04:07] <Guest9656> is kmail good?
[04:09] <dax> <-- thunderbird
[04:09] <dax> (or webmail at work, bleh)
[04:09] <dax> kmail's a bit quirky but worth trying, i like it
[04:09] <dax> i mainly use thunderbird because it's cross-platform
[04:09] <Guest9656> thanks
[07:04] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:57] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[10:04] <R13ose> Hi
[13:22] <John85> back...I just killed my internet and had to reboot
[13:22] <John85> so got authentication,  then internet just died on me
[13:23] <R13ose> 3/4 of my screen is white and rest gray.  Using kde.  How do I fix this?
[13:30] <BluesKaj> which gpu?
[13:32] <R13ose> How do I check in command line?
[13:33] <lordievader> R13ose: sudo lspci -k
[13:33] <lordievader> (the -k also gives the driver loaded)
[13:34] <R13ose> lordievader: how do I show only gpu?
[13:35] <BluesKaj> or sudo lshw -C video
[13:35] <lordievader> R13ose: `sudo lspci -k|grep -A 2 VGA`
[13:36] <lordievader> To make it better you do `sudo lspci -k|grep -A 2 -e VGA -e 3D`
[13:37] <R13ose> Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[13:37] <lordievader> With the i915 driver?
[13:37] <BluesKaj> should be
[13:38] <lordievader> Hence the question 😉 if it is disabled we have the culprit.
[13:39] <R13ose> Yes with i915
[13:39] <lordievader> Ok, good. Did you add any kernel parameters?
[13:40] <R13ose> lordievader: I don't think I did but how do I check?
[13:41] <lordievader> R13ose: Pastebin the output  of `cat /proc/cmdline`
[13:44] <R13ose> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25872888/
[13:46] <R13ose> lordievader: ^
[13:46] <lordievader> Why the acpi options?
[13:49] <R13ose> lordievader: unsure.  If you want me to remove, please tell me how
[13:49] <lordievader> Depends on how you set it up, most likely you edited `/etc/default/grub`.
[13:50] <R13ose> lordievader: maybe, I will remice
[13:50] <R13ose> remove
[13:55] <R13ose> lordievader: should I remove windows 2012 line only or vendor one too?
[13:58] <lordievader> Remove 'acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2012" acpi_backlight=vendor'
[13:59] <R13ose> lordievader: done
[14:00] <lordievader> Then rebuild the grub config (`sudo update-grub2`) and reboot.
[14:02] <R13ose> lordievader: I can't make the screen go back to normal without rebooting?
[14:04] <lordievader> If the problem is related to those acpi options, no. If the problem is elsewhere perhaps.
[14:05] <R13ose> lordievader: can we check other options, first?
[14:05] <lordievader> Check the logs for any i915 output.
[14:05] <R13ose> How?
[14:06] <lordievader> R13ose: `grep i915 /var/log/syslog` for example.
[14:07] <R13ose> lordievader: nothing
[14:08] <lordievader> Hmm, then search through `/var/log/X.org.0` for any errors or warnings.
[14:12] <R13ose> lordievader: not sure what I am looking for
[14:12] <R13ose> lordievader: want me to pastebin file?
[14:13] <lordievader> Errors or warnings 😉
[14:13] <lordievader> Sure
[14:18] <R13ose> lordievader: trying to use pastebinit but not allowing me to do that.  Do you know how I would do that?
[14:21] <lordievader> http://paste.ubuntu.com or http://paste.kde.org
[14:23] <R13ose> lordievader: I know but I want to use the command
[14:25] <BluesKaj> !paste
[14:26] <lordievader> !pastebinit
[14:27] <R13ose> Yes but it is saying command not found.
[14:28] <lordievader> It is not installed by default. `sudo apt install pastebinit`.
[14:29] <R13ose> I have that installed.  I mean the sudo /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:30] <hateball> Maybe because that's not something that would achieve anything
[14:31] <R13ose> What should the command be?
[14:31] <hateball> You don't need sudo, and you can use 'cat' to read files
[14:32] <R13ose> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25873180/
[14:32] <R13ose> Thanks hateball
[14:32] <hateball> :)
[14:33] <R13ose> lordievader: ^
[14:33] <lordievader> Looks normal.
[14:34] <lordievader> You are using a Displayport monitor with a resolution of 1366x768?
[14:35] <R13ose> I think so.  How do I tell?
[14:37] <R13ose> lordievader: ^
[14:37] <lordievader> Is it using such a connector? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Displayport-cable.jpg
[14:38] <lordievader> ?
[14:39] <R13ose> lordievader: nope this is straight laptop
[14:39] <lordievader> Oh, it is internally then.
[14:40] <lordievader> Does it have a dual-video card?
[14:40] <lordievader> An intel and nvdia/amd combo?
[14:42] <R13ose> Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
[14:42] <R13ose> lordievader: ^
[14:42] <R13ose> I don't think there is a combo
[14:43] <lordievader> What is the output of `sudo lspci|grep -e VGA -e 3D`?
[14:45] <R13ose> lordievader: same as original.  Only Intel
[14:45] <lordievader> Hmm, okay.
[14:46] <lordievader> I'd really test to see if it problem is those acpi options.
[14:48] <R13ose> lordievader: reboot, okay
[14:49] <R13ose> lordievader: this means if I get bac
[14:50] <R13ose> lordievader: I have to wait until this randomly happens again or doesn't
[14:50] <lordievader> It ain't a continual problem?
[14:51] <R13ose> lordievader: nope
[14:51] <lordievader> Oh, I did not understand that from your description.
[14:52] <lordievader> Unless you have a way to trigger it... you need to wait.
[14:54] <R13ose> lordievader: I will wait but if never comes back, thanks
[16:57] <rfleming> Hello #kubuntu.  I'm having some akonadi problems.  Self test reports back success/skip for all steps until 10 where the Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus.  the server process says the same.

[22:25] <sdyb> hey
[22:39] <edarfoc> hi all
[22:43] <sdyb> hey
[22:44] <krytarik> If either of you got a support question, just ask it.
[22:46] <edarfoc> just wanted to hang around, I just came back to kubuntu after some years in other distros
[22:46] <krytarik> Alright. :)
[23:21] <John85> lo
[23:22] <someone_> Hi
[23:22] <someone_> anyone?
[23:22] <John85> hi someone :)
[23:23] <someone_> Kubuntu embarrassed me: I should have introduced a presentation about my project in front of students and my professor but Kununtu did not work with datashow , How I can fix this problem ?
[23:23] <someone_> :(
[23:25] <John85> sorry i cant help :(
[23:25] <someone_> ok
[23:26] <clivejo> what is datashow?
[23:27] <someone_> Data Show Projector
[23:27] <someone_> I'm using kubuntu 16.04
[23:29] <clivejo> it won't open the file?
[23:30] <clivejo> or switch the output to the projector?
[23:33] <someone_> nothing appears on the projector just the desktop appears and nothing else and I can't see mouse arrow.
[23:34] <someone_> I think the problem in KDE 5
[23:34] <clivejo> the plasma version in 16.04 is quite old now
[23:34] <clivejo> 5.8
[23:35] <clivejo> the newer version handle switching output and screens a lot better
[23:36] <someone_> so , should I upgrade to 17.10 or waiting for 18.04 LTS
[23:36] <someone_> Is there any solution can I apply it on 16.04?
[23:36] <clivejo> I don't know if this is your problem
[23:37] <someone_> Ok , I will try 17.10 live and see .
[23:38] <someone_> Thanks
[23:45] <kubunted> why does it freez desktop every few minutes or just some apps?
[23:55] <clivejo> what is wrong with claydoh?
