batteronizerHi how are?07:50
batteronizerWhich VNC server is recommended to use with KDE?07:50
hateballhmmm, I thought there used to be a builtin thing08:03
hateball!info krfb08:04
ubottukrfb (source: krfb): Desktop Sharing utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:17.04.3-0ubuntu1 (artful), package size 933 kB, installed size 2100 kB08:05
hateballbatteronizer: this is the "KDE" way I think ^08:05
batteronizerCan it be configured without UI?08:05
batteronizerI tried searching, but only found UI methods for configuring it so far.08:06
hateballWell if you are running Kubuntu, you have a gui by default08:06
batteronizerIt's an Ubuntu server08:06
batteronizerThe only way I can configure anything before using is through a config file over a console.08:07
lordievaderI usually go with x11vnc or tigervnc. (rarely do vnc these days)08:24
hateballDear Plasmashell, stop freezing intermittently. Sincerely, me.08:27
* hateball screams internally08:27
batteronizerhateball: I went offline. Arethere logs available for this IRC channel?08:46
lordievaderbatteronizer: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/08:46
batteronizerlordievader: Thanks08:46
batteronizerAll logs not availableyet :-/09:09
batteronizerDoes anyone else know if krfb can be configured without a GUI?09:10

ajboneHello, I've used debian on my pc for years and have now decided to switch to ubuntu. All thats held me back is not wanting to part with KDE desktop. Is there an option of KDE in ubuntu or if not, would kubuntu have all the functionality of ubuntu?  Thanks1;2c1;2c19:43
lordievaderKubuntu is Ubuntu + KDE, if I understand your question correctly.19:44
ajbonesounds perfect. sorry I read my question again and its not very clear. Would kubuntu have a software repository that is in sync with or very close to ubuntu?19:49
lordievaderKubuntu builds on Ubuntu. It uses the same repo.19:53
ajboneawesome, thanks a lot for your help =)19:56

slawekHi22:13
viewer|80984hi there, im pretty new to linux and kubuntu22:45
viewer|80984i set my wallpaper and after i reboot it just sets it back to black22:45
valorieviewer|80984: how did you set it?22:47
valorieand which version of Kubuntu are you running?22:47
viewer|80984i set it through Desktop Settings22:49
viewer|80984and how do i check which version?22:49
valorieany KDE application Help > about22:49
valorieor krunner / alt+f4 About22:49
viewer|80984kubuntu 16.014, kde plasma 5.5.522:50
valoriehmmm22:50
valorieI always right-click on the desktop and "configure desktop"22:51
valorieI don't see any "desktop settings" as such22:52
viewer|80984i havent updated kde, i might want to do that22:52
valoriebut then I'm running a much newer plasma and kwin22:52
viewer|80984yeah kubuntu has 5.5.5, and im going to upgrade it to 5.8 to see if it will be better22:52
valorieyou are running 16.04 with no upgrades or updates?22:52
valorieI believe we're up to 16.04.3 by now22:53
valorieyou want to keep that up-to-date for security, if nothing else22:53
viewer|80984so how do i update everything?22:54
viewer|80984sudo apt update?22:54
slawekhello22:55
valoriesudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgraded22:56
valorieoops22:56
valoriesudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade22:56
valorieno d on the end22:56
valorieupdate merely brings your source repos up to date22:56
valoriethe upgrade part actually upgrades the software you have installed22:57
viewer|80984then reboot?22:57
valorieif it says to, which it presumably will22:57
slawekI am having a problem with sound after upgrade - no soundcard is detected22:57
valorieslawek: upgrade from what to what?22:57
slawekjust apt-get upgrade22:58
valoriefrom what?22:58
valoriewe have two supported LTS, last release and our new one22:58
valorie!sound22:58
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP322:58
slawek17.10 - actually22:58
valorieok22:58
valorieme too22:59
valorieare you running backports or any other PPAs, slawek?22:59
viewer|80984valorie after i update kde plasma with backports will i have too reboot and change the desktop enviroment, or does it upgrade plasma all together22:59
valorieviewer|80984: ? once you reboot, you are upgraded23:00
valoriethere should be nothing to do after that23:00
slawek@ubottu - I am checking your links23:00
valorieif you are still on stock 16.04, it will take awhile; there are lots of upgrades to do23:01
valoriewhether or not you use backports23:01
viewer|80984okay cool, i got it figured out23:04
slawekokay - I've checked the basics troubleshooting for sound problems23:07
slaweksoundcard is detected23:07
valoriecool23:07
slawekseems to be activated23:07
valorieI usually just use alsamixer first23:07
slawekvalorie - I used it as well23:07
valorieso often something is muted for some reason23:07
slawekeverything that is used is with ++23:08
slawekso also looks fine23:08
slawekthe problem is, that in KDE sound options, there is no soundacr at all23:08
slawekto be more precise - no sound device to playbackas well as record audio23:09
valoriehmmm23:09
valoriehow about pavucontrol?23:09
valorieif that isn't installed, it's the easiest way to mess with pulseaudio23:10
valorieif you don't like it you can always uninstall23:10
mpcso what's the best wiki/info about fully loading your kodi box?23:10
valorie!kodi23:10
slawekthe aplay command says that the device is budy23:10
valoriehmmm23:10
slawek*busy23:10
valorie!info kodi23:10
ubottukodi (source: kodi): Open Source Home Theatre (executable binaries). In component universe, is optional. Version 2:17.3+dfsg1-3 (artful), package size 10 kB, installed size 59 kB23:10
slawek"connection to pulseaudio failed" :/23:11
valoriempc -- I don't know23:11
valorieoh gosh, slawek23:11
slawekthat is what pavucontrol says23:11
valoriethis is my suggestion -- make a new user, called Testsound or something23:12
valorieyou don't even have to log out of this session, but log into that one23:12
valorieand see if your sound works23:12
valorieif it does, you know it is something in your configs23:12
valorieor in ~/.local possibly23:12
slaweklet me check that23:14
slawekhi again - unfortunately no sound on new user account23:20
valorieyikes23:20
valoriesounds like somewhere along the line your soundcard isn't supported23:21
slawekhmm, yesterday it was :)23:21
valorieI guess you could purge pulseaudio and see if that helps?23:21
slawekit worked fine23:21
valorieI mean, you can always re-install23:21
slawekokay, we see23:21
valoriewhat exactly was upgraded, slawek?23:22
valorieI'm no expert -- just have wrestled with sound issues in the past myself23:22
slawekvalorie - kernel for sure - it asked for reboot23:22
slawekbesides - just some icon packs23:23
slawekreboot brb in a minutr23:24
valoriehmmm23:25
slawekvalorie - purging pulseaudio worked fine - thanks!23:30
slaweknow I just do not have the sound control icon ;)23:30
slawekbut I am googling the package name :)23:30
slawekokay - kmix is just fine23:32
valoriecool, glad that worked for you23:33
valorieperhaps next kernel will fix whatever the problem was23:33
slawekI suppose so23:34
valoriemy next suggestion was going to be booting into the previous kernel to find out if that was the culprit23:34
slawekanyway - almost half a year w/o sound problem - and bam! here it is23:34
slawekit used to be a pain in the a** for me couple of years ago23:34
slaweknow I supposed it is already gon23:34
slawek*gonr23:34
valorieso many working parts -- it's amazing when it *does* work23:34
