[07:39] <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?
[07:40] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:30] <Aplx> Hello, KSysGuard recently stopped showing the CPU and Network graph on my computer. Does anyone have the same problem?
[12:09] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:13] <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?
[12:28] <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?
[12:32] <lordievader> yotka: And what does xrandr say about the monitors?
[12:33] <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
[12:36] <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
[12:37] <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 :)
[12:39] <yotka> hateball: haha, ok (didn't know that)
[12:41] <yotka> lordievader: This is before I plug in the monitor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112006/ and this is after: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112015/
[12:42] <lordievader> Seems like X sees it just fine 😉
[12:43] <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?
[12:45] <yotka> lordievader: No, nothing happens
[12:47] <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.
[13:04] <yotka> No, now it's like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112128/
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <yotka> lordievader: Cause now it's back to active mode
[13:06] <lordievader> Do you have another hdmi cable?
[13:11] <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
[13:14] <lordievader> Hmm, odd problem. What gpu do you have?
[13:19] <yotka> lordievader: I don't know the exact name, it's an intel chip that ships with a ThinkPad t460s
[13:20] <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.
[13:23] <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'?
[13:24] <BluesKaj> yotka, lshw -C video will show the gpu(s)
[13:25] <BluesKaj> err use sudo
[13:26] <yotka> lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112226/
[13:27] <lordievader> Interesting, no nVidia card listed.
[13:27] <yotka> Thanks BluesKaj, here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112231/
[13:28] <hateball> Suppose you could also at your own risk try the oibaf ppa for a newer mesa
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <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
[13:31] <hateball> but the drivers handle both 2D and 3D
[13:31] <hateball> anyhow, figured it might be worth a shot is all
[13:32] <lordievader> Yeah, true.
[13:32] <lordievader> Wierd problems may have wierd solutions 😁
[13:34] <yotka> lordievader: So you suggest https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers ?
[13:34] <lordievader> yotka: hateball does 😉
[13:35] <hateball> yotka: actually, before you use the PPA, did you try the HWE?
[13:35] <hateball> !hwe
[13:35] <hateball> as skylake is a rather new chip compared to 16.04
[13:37] <yotka> lordievader: Sorry, my bad.. ;)
[13:37] <yotka> hateball: Yes, I'm already using HWE
[13:38] <yotka> Also kernel 4.10 currently
[13:41] <lordievader> !info linux-image-generic 17.10
[13:41] <lordievader> !info linux-image-generic artful
[13:41] <lordievader> !info linux-image-generic bionic
[13:42] <lordievader> yotka: You might want to make a 17.10 live-usb and see if the problems are present there too.
[13:51] <yotka> lordievader: Good idea, I will try that.
[14:58] <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?
[14:59] <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"
[15:00] <lordievader> Hmm, could you give the permissions of a file which shows this problem?
[15:01] <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.
[15:03] <user90353> So it appears that I do have permission to open the files.
[15:07] <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.
[15:09] <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.
[15:13] <user90353> I just checked the SMART data, no problems on the hard disk.
[15:24] <iandondrio> Sudo ls -l
[15:24] <iandondrio> Ooo pro linux skills
[15:27] <user90353> lordievader: Thanks for trying to help.
[15:27] <user90353> lordievader: Bye.
[15:30] <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
[15:34] <yotka> lordievader, hateball: Thanks a lot for your help! I'll come back in case the problem persists...
[16:04] <RonaldsMazitis> hello, how do I know if my baloo has not crashed?
[16:04] <RonaldsMazitis> balooctl status is saying same number of files indexed and the number doesn't change
[16:04] <RonaldsMazitis> Indexed 24525 / 133972 files
[17:07] <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.
[17:26] <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
[18:19] <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?
[18:42] <Mrokii> mparillo: They are, yes. That's why it's so confusing that it doesn't work.
[19:43] <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

[19:46] <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.
[22:26] <Prototype> everytime i plug an HDMI lead into my laptop,  it does wierd stuff,  and its not even consistently wierd
[22:27] <Prototype> sometimes it gives a completely blank desktop on both laptop and TV,  with just a mouse pointer,  so have to reboot
[22:28] <Prototype> sometimes it will do exactly what i want and expect
[22:29] <Prototype> sometimes the i have to tweek settings to get sound to go through HDMI,  sometimes i dont
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <Prototype> eventually i get it do to what i want after a reboot
[22:32] <Prototype> but it is annoying
