| yotka | Hi. I couldn't use my ecternal monitor due to this problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353637. Then, suddenly, for some months the problem went away and the monitor worked fine. Now I'm back to where I was before. Any ideas why that could be? | 07:39 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:09 |
| yotka | Hi, I asked this morning already, but then my computer crashed. Once again: I couldn't use my external monitor due to this problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353637. Then, suddenly, for some months the problem went away and the monitor worked fine. Now I'm back to where I was before. Any ideas why that could be? | 12:13 |

| hateball | yotka: can you wipe your kscreen config and restart your session? | 12:28 |
| hateball | yotka: and are you using the kubuntu backports ppa if you are on 16.04? | 12:28 |
| lordievader | yotka: And what does xrandr say about the monitors? | 12:32 |
| yotka | hateball: I haven't reset my kscreen config lately, but I remember that was one of the things I tried some months ago. And yes, I'm using Kubuntu backports | 12:33 |
| yotka | lordievader: I use ARandR. As soon as I start the GUI, the display on my laptop screen goes a little crazy. The external monitor is detected as some kind of "Goldstar" monitor (but mine is LG). But it disappears and comes back again all the time | 12:36 |
| lordievader | yotka: What I read on their website "ARandR is designed to provide a simple visual front end for XRandR." Could you pastebin the output of `xrandr`? | 12:37 |
| hateball | well LG is Lucky Goldstar :) | 12:37 |
| yotka | hateball: haha, ok (didn't know that) | 12:39 |
| yotka | lordievader: This is before I plug in the monitor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112006/ and this is after: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112015/ | 12:41 |
| lordievader | Seems like X sees it just fine 😉 | 12:42 |
| yotka | lordievader: When I plug it in, on the screen there is something about power save mode displayed | 12:43 |
| lordievader | Does `xrandr --output HDMI-2 --auto` fix that? | 12:43 |
| yotka | lordievader: No, nothing happens | 12:45 |
| lordievader | Hmm, does xrandr still list a mode in use? While the monitor is in powersave? | 12:47 |
| lordievader | Active mode is the `+` after the Hz. | 12:47 |
| yotka | No, now it's like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112128/ | 13:04 |
| yotka | lordievader: and the computer has become very slow | 13:05 |
| yotka | lordievader: It seems it's beeing turned on and off all the time | 13:05 |
| yotka | lordievader: Cause now it's back to active mode | 13:06 |
| lordievader | Do you have another hdmi cable? | 13:06 |
| IrcsomeBot | Turok23 was removed by: Turok23 | 13:09 |
| yotka | lordievader: No, I don't. But when it didn't work in the beginning, I went to the store to check it and it was fine. And about a week ago, everything worked fine, too, with the same hardware | 13:11 |
| lordievader | Hmm, odd problem. What gpu do you have? | 13:14 |
| yotka | lordievader: I don't know the exact name, it's an intel chip that ships with a ThinkPad t460s | 13:19 |
| lordievader | I see here that it has two graphics cards? | 13:20 |
| lordievader | That may very well be the source of your troubles. The HDMI connection could be wired to the nvidia card. | 13:20 |
| yotka | lordievader: Hm, I'm not sure. I read it's Intel HD Graphics 520 (IGP) | 13:23 |
| lordievader | Could you pastebin the output of 'sudo lspci -k'? | 13:23 |
| BluesKaj | yotka, lshw -C video will show the gpu(s) | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | err use sudo | 13:25 |
| yotka | lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112226/ | 13:26 |
| lordievader | Interesting, no nVidia card listed. | 13:27 |
| yotka | Thanks BluesKaj, here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112231/ | 13:27 |
| hateball | Suppose you could also at your own risk try the oibaf ppa for a newer mesa | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | yotka, yup. just the intel gpu | 13:29 |
| lordievader | hateball: You think this is related to OpenGL? | 13:29 |
| hateball | lordievader: well mesa isnt just opengl | 13:29 |
| lordievader | I always thought it was the implementation of OpenGL. | 13:30 |
| hateball | mesa is just drivers for any non-blob stuff | 13:30 |
| hateball | AMD, Intel or nouveau | 13:30 |
| hateball | but the drivers handle both 2D and 3D | 13:31 |
| hateball | anyhow, figured it might be worth a shot is all | 13:31 |
| lordievader | Yeah, true. | 13:32 |
| lordievader | Wierd problems may have wierd solutions 😁 | 13:32 |
| yotka | lordievader: So you suggest https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers ? | 13:34 |
| lordievader | yotka: hateball does 😉 | 13:34 |
| hateball | yotka: actually, before you use the PPA, did you try the HWE? | 13:35 |
| hateball | !hwe | 13:35 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 13:35 |
| hateball | as skylake is a rather new chip compared to 16.04 | 13:35 |
| yotka | lordievader: Sorry, my bad.. ;) | 13:37 |
| yotka | hateball: Yes, I'm already using HWE | 13:37 |

| user90353 | Hello. I'm running Kubuntu 16.04. I am unable to open any file on my hard disk from KDE, but strangely I can open the files in the terminal. For example, text files in nano. This problem started after I had to force a reboot when Wine froze while playing a game. | 14:58 |
| user90353 | Any idea what could be causing the problem? | 14:58 |
| lordievader | Did you do Wine things with sudo? | 14:59 |
| user90353 | lordievader: No, I just started the game (Unreal Tournament) from Dolphin, using "Open with Wine" | 14:59 |
| lordievader | Hmm, could you give the permissions of a file which shows this problem? | 15:00 |
| user90353 | All of the files on my hard disk show the problem, so I'll choose a file at random and check the permissions. | 15:01 |
| user90353 | "Owner: Can Read and Write. Group: Can read and write. Others: Can read." | 15:01 |
| user90353 | I got that from checking the permissions on Dolphin. | 15:01 |
| user90353 | So it appears that I do have permission to open the files. | 15:03 |
| user90353 | Since I can open the files in the terminal (ex: text files in Nano) I think the problem might be related to KDE, but I'm not sure what the problem could be. | 15:07 |
| user90353 | Luckily, my files are backed up, so I can just re-install Kubuntu and transfer the files back. But since it will take awhile to do that, so I wanted to see if it was possible to fix this problem. | 15:09 |
| user90353 | I just checked the SMART data, no problems on the hard disk. | 15:13 |
| iandondrio | Sudo ls -l | 15:24 |
| iandondrio | Ooo pro linux skills | 15:24 |
| user90353 | lordievader: Thanks for trying to help. | 15:27 |
| user90353 | lordievader: Bye. | 15:27 |
| Tolhsadum_ | Hi everyone. I have a problem with the "Energy saving" settings on kubuntu 16.04-3. Even if I modify the parameters the changes are not active. I would just like to increase the time the system take to log off for non-activity | 15:30 |
| yotka | lordievader, hateball: Thanks a lot for your help! I'll come back in case the problem persists... | 15:34 |

| Mrokii | Hello. A friend of mine has a strange problem. Kubuntu 17.04 is installed and for some reason, for a lot of files, Dolphin seems to be configured as the app to open them with. That lead to her clicking on an audio-file for example, and then lots of Dolphin-Windows get opened. But the main problem at the moment is that .sh-scripts are displayed with Kate instead of being executed (even though the executable | 17:07 |
| Mrokii | flag) is set, according to Dolphins Info-Window. The question is: Is there something that can be done about this problem? I am fairly used to Konsole, so executing commands shouldn't be a problem. | 17:07 |
| mparillo | Mrokii: Are the shell scripts marked executable? | 17:26 |
| mparillo | You can do it with right-clicking in dolphin > properties > executable or chmod +x filename | 17:26 |
| paul_ | When my laptop wakes form sleep it does not show the login screen until it connects to a wireless network. I can see the desktop as it was when I put it to sleep. How can this be avoided? | 18:19 |
| Mrokii | mparillo: They are, yes. That's why it's so confusing that it doesn't work. | 18:42 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I have 400gb of files | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | baloo is stuck on indexing | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | e file. | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | But, how do I delete it or move it to another folder? | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | Is there a different program that is used for searching and managing files..or is catfish the only program that ships with Xubuntu? | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I'm running Xubuntu 11.04. | 19:43 |
| RonaldsMazitis | TIA | 19:43 |

| RonaldsMazitis | Re: file search utility program, catfish?? | 19:44 |
| RonaldsMazitis | you have asked for other applications..hoping this may help you.. | 19:44 |

| RonaldsMazitis | I hope I don’t have to find a different application. I’d like to try to make the stock software work first-then I’ll consider adding a different application if necessary. | 19:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | ------------------------------ | 19:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | For Robin: | 19:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I am trying to sort and categorize my music collection, so I have about 11,000 mp3 files in 5 or 6 folders, all of which are located on my USB based expansion drive). Obviously, manually searching that many files using the file manager will be very slow. | 19:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | So, I open catfish, and give it search parameters and tell it to ‘find'. It returns a list of tunes which include the desired file. | 19:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | After the file is located, I assume I can click on the catfish screen to select the file, and then drag and drop directly from the catfish screen. But, when I click on the file I want to move/copy/delete, there appears to be no option to do anything with the file. | 19:46 |

| Prototype | everytime i plug an HDMI lead into my laptop, it does wierd stuff, and its not even consistently wierd | 22:26 |
| Prototype | sometimes it gives a completely blank desktop on both laptop and TV, with just a mouse pointer, so have to reboot | 22:27 |
| Prototype | sometimes it will do exactly what i want and expect | 22:28 |
| Prototype | sometimes the i have to tweek settings to get sound to go through HDMI, sometimes i dont | 22:29 |
| Prototype | and once when i plugged the lead in, the computer just shut off completely, no warning, just turned itself off | 22:30 |
| Prototype | the list goes on | 22:30 |
| Prototype | eventually i get it do to what i want after a reboot | 22:31 |
