[03:57] <^Gecko^> anyone have any luck with the Asus Xonar DX soundcard and the optical output? surround sound?
[03:58] <^Gecko^> or surround sound from optical at all?
[06:36] <Zladnyl> Anyone here not afk? I'm lost at this point and need help with something involving linux...
[06:37] <Zladnyl> Here is a better question if anyone here is reading. Anyone got a Dell Alienware PC? Specifically one with Alienware Command Center on it. And even more specific, the Alienware X51 R3...
[06:38] <Zladnyl> Anyone?
[06:39] <Zladnyl> Anyone at all got a PC like the one I just described? And is anyone not afk?

[07:09] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:49] <OOPMan> Hello. Has anyone who upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10 noticed KDE taking much longer to login than before. Not only does it sit on the splash screen for much longer but it also takes much longer to load the panels. I have a fresh 17.10 install on another machine (which worse specs) and it doesn't seem to be affected by this problem.
[07:50] <OOPMan> Is there maybe some stray KDE config that could be causing issues?
[08:04] <hateball> OOPMan: I havent noticed it myself. Simple enough to test with a new user
[08:07] <OOPMan> hateball: Good point, will try that
[08:15] <hay207> Hi, i got an issue with a specific font in kde menu [above size 9], is that letters at end of words sometimes are cut as in link below, Is this a font issue or a kdemenu bug ?
[08:16] <hay207> https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/506ebcaf53af6d95787cf8f986ce2fd48317df4c887178cd451666d56838426e.png
[08:19] <hateball> feels like a kicker bug
[08:20] <hateball> hay207: is that kubuntu 14.04 ?
[08:20] <hay207> yes
[08:20] <hateball> looks like KDE 4.x
[08:21] <hateball> well, I dunno what to advice really. while kubuntu itself is still supported, upstream kde has dropped support for 4.x
[08:21] <hateball> so... I'd consider upgrading to 16.04
[08:21] <hateball> and 14.04 -> 16.04 is not a supported upgrade path (even if it works for the most part) so there might be some breakage
[08:22] <hay207> Should i report the bug to kde ?
[08:24] <hateball> hay207: Like I said, upstream will only tell you upgrade. But you can file a Kubuntu bug and maybe there's a fix that can be backported
[08:24] <hateball> !bug
[08:26] <hay207> Ok, thanks
[08:31] <hateball> hay207: but really you should consider upgrading to 16.04, so you can smoothly upgrade to 18.04 in a few months
[08:32] <hay207> i guesss when 18.04 comes, i do a clean install on an empty partition rather than upgrade
[12:39] <batteronizer> And of course, I want to continue using plasma search
[12:41] <batteronizer> Oops, mixed up messages
[12:41] <batteronizer> Hi, I'm on Kubuntu 16.04. mysql constantly consumes 15-20% CPU.
[12:41] <batteronizer> The only solution I've found so far is $ akonadictl stop
[12:41] <batteronizer> Is there a way to fix the high CPU consumption? My computer runs very slow otherwise.
[12:43] <hateball> batteronizer: is this a fresh install?
[12:43] <batteronizer> hateball: yes
[12:43] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:44] <hateball> batteronizer: do you use the akonadi stuff? otherwise it is fine to leave it stopped
[12:44] <batteronizer> I want to use plasma search
[12:44] <hateball> batteronizer: you mean krunner? alt+f2 or alt+space
[12:44] <batteronizer> And calendar etc might be useful too
[12:44] <hateball> batteronizer: that's not dependant on akonadi but rather baloo. calendar is akonadi tho
[12:45] <batteronizer> Yeah krunner and the Alt+F1 menu as well
[12:45] <hateball> batteronizer: if it is a fresh install I suggest you add this PPA and upgrade https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
[12:45] <hateball> stock 16.04 is a little more buggy than desirable
[12:46] <batteronizer> Ah cool
[12:46] <batteronizer> The high CPU issue used to be there in 15.10 and earlier as well
[12:47] <batteronizer> hateball: btw, when I perform a file search from dolphin, it never gives me any results
[12:48] <batteronizer> Even krunner only gives results from recent documents
[13:03] <hateball> batteronizer: try "balooctl stop" reboot and "balooctl start" to restart the indexing
[13:05] <batteronizer> Alright, I'll give it a try in some time
[16:40] <Prototype> ello
[16:41] <Prototype> well, i did come here to discuss python3 and my update process hogging 25% of my CPU,  but it seems to have settled down now
[16:42] <Prototype> but since im here now....
[16:46] <BluesKaj> hi Prototype the python process updates right after the unattended upgrades which upgrade by default in the background about a minute after logging in to the ps
[16:46] <BluesKaj> pc
[16:46] <Prototype> ah ok,  thats will be why rebooting didnt solve it
[16:46] <BluesKaj> yup
[16:47] <Prototype> thanks
[16:47] <BluesKaj> np
[16:48] <Prototype> might upgrade to 17.10 this weekend,  was going to wait until 18.04 comes out and i get my new SSD
[16:49] <Prototype> gonna go over to offtopic
[17:40] <Rammelbieber> Hello, I have a question to Kubuntu Log In Proglems. I started Kubuntu (Cynthos 4.4.0.98 on x86_64) and I could not login - kinda freeze screen or login. After press ESC while booting, I switched to the recovery mode and tried to remove unnecessary stuff on disk. It removes a lot of old kernel data and after reboot, it started without any problems. For sure, I googled for that kind of problem, but after 20 minutes
[17:40] <Rammelbieber> of search, I did not find anything. So, anyone of you guys have a glue, what the problem maybe was?
[17:42] <BluesKaj> Cynthos ?
[17:44] <BluesKaj> Rammelbieber,^
[17:45] <Rammelbieber> forget this information ^^
[17:46] <Rammelbieber> But back to my question. I can't figure it out, what triggered my login problems (screen freeze)
[17:47] <BluesKaj> Rammelbieber, when did ti freeze ?
[17:48] <BluesKaj> it
[17:48] <Rammelbieber> In the login screen, right after I typed my password and press return
[17:51] <BluesKaj> ok , which graphics card/chip ?
[17:55] <Rammelbieber> Intel Corp 3rd Gen Core processor Graph. Controller (rev 09) - command bash: lspci | grep VGA
[17:59] <Rammelbieber> Can it be possible that some old linux kernel versions get in the newest one's way ?
[18:00] <BluesKaj> hmm, that  kernel module driver is installed by default
[18:00] <BluesKaj> or should be
[18:01] <BluesKaj> sorry , but I have to leave...my vehicle has an appt to be winterized
