=== jake__ is now known as Psipher === LightAmaze is now known as Guest49462 [07:39] 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] KDE bug 353637 in common "Cannot enable second monitor in Display Configuration" [Major,Unconfirmed] [07:40] Good morning [08:30] Hello, KSysGuard recently stopped showing the CPU and Network graph on my computer. Does anyone have the same problem? === ForceRecon_ is now known as ForceRecon [12:09] Hi all [12:13] 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] KDE bug 353637 in common "Cannot enable second monitor in Display Configuration" [Major,Unconfirmed] [12:28] yotka: can you wipe your kscreen config and restart your session? [12:28] yotka: and are you using the kubuntu backports ppa if you are on 16.04? [12:32] yotka: And what does xrandr say about the monitors? [12:33] 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] 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] 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] well LG is Lucky Goldstar :) [12:39] hateball: haha, ok (didn't know that) [12:41] 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] Seems like X sees it just fine 😉 [12:43] lordievader: When I plug it in, on the screen there is something about power save mode displayed [12:43] Does `xrandr --output HDMI-2 --auto` fix that? [12:45] lordievader: No, nothing happens [12:47] Hmm, does xrandr still list a mode in use? While the monitor is in powersave? [12:47] Active mode is the `+` after the Hz. [13:04] No, now it's like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112128/ [13:05] lordievader: and the computer has become very slow [13:05] lordievader: It seems it's beeing turned on and off all the time [13:06] lordievader: Cause now it's back to active mode [13:06] Do you have another hdmi cable? [13:09] Turok23 was removed by: Turok23 [13:11] 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] Hmm, odd problem. What gpu do you have? [13:19] lordievader: I don't know the exact name, it's an intel chip that ships with a ThinkPad t460s [13:20] I see here that it has two graphics cards? [13:20] That may very well be the source of your troubles. The HDMI connection could be wired to the nvidia card. [13:23] lordievader: Hm, I'm not sure. I read it's Intel HD Graphics 520 (IGP) [13:23] Could you pastebin the output of 'sudo lspci -k'? [13:24] yotka, lshw -C video will show the gpu(s) [13:25] err use sudo [13:26] lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112226/ [13:27] Interesting, no nVidia card listed. [13:27] Thanks BluesKaj, here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26112231/ [13:28] Suppose you could also at your own risk try the oibaf ppa for a newer mesa [13:29] yotka, yup. just the intel gpu [13:29] hateball: You think this is related to OpenGL? [13:29] lordievader: well mesa isnt just opengl [13:30] I always thought it was the implementation of OpenGL. [13:30] mesa is just drivers for any non-blob stuff [13:30] AMD, Intel or nouveau [13:31] but the drivers handle both 2D and 3D [13:31] anyhow, figured it might be worth a shot is all [13:32] Yeah, true. [13:32] Wierd problems may have wierd solutions 😁 [13:34] lordievader: So you suggest https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers ? [13:34] yotka: hateball does 😉 [13:35] yotka: actually, before you use the PPA, did you try the HWE? [13:35] !hwe [13:35] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [13:35] as skylake is a rather new chip compared to 16.04 [13:37] lordievader: Sorry, my bad.. ;) [13:37] hateball: Yes, I'm already using HWE [13:38] Also kernel 4.10 currently [13:41] !info linux-image-generic 17.10 [13:41] '17.10' is not a valid distribution: artful, artful-backports, artful-proposed, bionic, bionic-backports, bionic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed, vivid, vivid-backports, vivid-proposed, wily, wily-backports, wily-proposed, xenial, xenial-backports, xenial [13:41] !info linux-image-generic artful [13:41] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[13:51] lordievader: Good idea, I will try that. [14:58] 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] Any idea what could be causing the problem? [14:59] Did you do Wine things with sudo? [14:59] lordievader: No, I just started the game (Unreal Tournament) from Dolphin, using "Open with Wine" [15:00] Hmm, could you give the permissions of a file which shows this problem? [15:01] 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] "Owner: Can Read and Write. Group: Can read and write. Others: Can read." [15:01] I got that from checking the permissions on Dolphin. [15:03] So it appears that I do have permission to open the files. [15:07] 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] 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] I just checked the SMART data, no problems on the hard disk. [15:24] Sudo ls -l [15:24] Ooo pro linux skills [15:27] lordievader: Thanks for trying to help. [15:27] lordievader: Bye. [15:30] 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] lordievader, hateball: Thanks a lot for your help! I'll come back in case the problem persists... === stinkiephish is now known as vmele [16:04] hello, how do I know if my baloo has not crashed? [16:04] balooctl status is saying same number of files indexed and the number doesn't change [16:04] Indexed 24525 / 133972 files === tommy_ is now known as Guest23716 === Guest23716 is now known as Guest23716om [17:07] 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] 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] Mrokii: Are the shell scripts marked executable? [17:26] You can do it with right-clicking in dolphin > properties > executable or chmod +x filename [18:19] 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] mparillo: They are, yes. That's why it's so confusing that it doesn't work. [19:43] I have 400gb of files [19:43] baloo is stuck on indexing [19:43] e file. [19:43] But, how do I delete it or move it to another folder? [19:43] 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] I'm running Xubuntu 11.04. [19:43] TIA [19:43] Art [19:44] Re: file search utility program, catfish?? [19:44] you have asked for other applications..hoping this may help you.. [19:45] http://http://www.tricksfind.in/2011/05/how-to-search-for-applications-in.html [19:45]  Adv Reply [19:45] August 8th, 2011 #4 XubuRoxMySox  [19:45] Has an Ubuntu Drip [19:46] 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] ------------------------------ [19:46] For Robin: [19:46] 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] 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] 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. === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD === JonathanD is now known as JonathanS [22:26] everytime i plug an HDMI lead into my laptop, it does wierd stuff, and its not even consistently wierd [22:27] sometimes it gives a completely blank desktop on both laptop and TV, with just a mouse pointer, so have to reboot [22:28] sometimes it will do exactly what i want and expect [22:29] sometimes the i have to tweek settings to get sound to go through HDMI, sometimes i dont [22:30] and once when i plugged the lead in, the computer just shut off completely, no warning, just turned itself off [22:30] the list goes on [22:31] eventually i get it do to what i want after a reboot [22:32] but it is annoying [22:39] OmegaSochi was added by: OmegaSochi
