[02:26] <kayvee> Hi there!
[02:26] <kayvee> Does anyone know how to get new emoji sets installed on pidgin? I copied unicode-emojis to .purple/smileys/ folder but they don't show up in Pidgin Preferences > Themes > Smileys
[02:35] <valorie> hmmm, there seems to be no pidgin channel on freenode
[02:35] <valorie> it's not KDE software so we don't really support it
[02:35] <valorie> kayvee: so you might try #ubuntu in hopes that someone there uses it
[02:39] <kayvee> thanks but i am using this on kubuntu. I figured I will ask here in case someone has an idea...
[07:14] <lordievader> Good morning
[12:15] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[13:27] <SubCool> Hey, So.. i followed a bad guide. https://askubuntu.com/questions/900308/plasmashell-keeps-crashing-kubuntu - and im trying to get away from it. I am using this at this point, https://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed - but during the KDE upgrade it used a upgrade full command which im not sure how to backtrace from.
[13:27] <SubCool> I am already removed the ppa, but- is there a way or key to use the purge and get away from the KDE beta? Its become very hindering.
[13:29] <hateball> SubCool: lets start with which version of kubuntu you are on
[13:29] <SubCool> 16.04 hateball
[13:29] <SubCool> whats the command to check again, uname - >
[13:30] <hateball> SubCool: cat /etc/issue or "lsb_release -a"
[13:31] <hateball> so you installed the kubuntu backports ppa and you want to remove it? or like you said you already removed it, how did you do that?
[13:31] <SubCool> yeah, 16.04.3
[13:31] <hateball> if you used ppa-purge that should have put you back to stock Kubuntu
[13:31] <hateball> !ppapurge
[13:36] <SubCool> I tried.. it said something went wrong.
[13:36] <SubCool> Itried to follow that command, but it said to follow it and insert a package name, which is where my question came in. Because i didnt have a particular package to install, it was a system upgrade.
[13:37] <SubCool> I am trying to backtrack away from the KDE Beta, its killing my resources and systems
[13:39] <BluesKaj> SubCool, you can check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d  for any ppas you'd like to delete, then update and upgarde afterwards
[13:39] <SubCool> BluesKaj, i saw that, i did the remove ppa command to remove it, but- how do i downgrade back?
[13:39] <lordievader> SubCool: What did it say exactly?
[13:41] <SubCool> The following information may help to resolve the situation:
[13:41] <SubCool> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[13:41] <SubCool> appstream : Depends: libappstream4 (>= 0.10.2) but it is not going to be installed
[13:41] <SubCool> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[13:41] <SubCool> Warning:  Something went wrong, packages may not have been reverted
[13:42] <lordievader> Hmm, and then ppapurge failed?
[13:42] <SubCool> There is a huge log its trace, but that was the ending fail msg.
[13:42] <SubCool> it traced*
[13:43] <lordievader> Could you pastebin the full output?
[13:43] <lordievader> !pastebin
[13:45] <SubCool> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451336/
[13:46] <lordievader> You may want to install `aptitude` and run the command again.
[13:46] <lordievader> Do you have other ppa's enabled?
[13:47] <SubCool> I installed it, and it says the ppa is not there.
[13:47] <SubCool> lordievader i dont know about others, i mess with this machine only once every few months. it generally lays dormant unless something goes wrong. - which occured recently.
[13:48] <lordievader> Yeah, it was commented. Check `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` I think it should still be there (just commented out).
[13:50] <SubCool> Youre right, its in there. and not commented out either.
[13:50] <lordievader> Not? Hmm, then an `sudo apt update && sudo ppa-purge <address>` should do.
[13:56] <SubCool> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451399/
[13:56] <SubCool> But, i have to go... ill take this up again later. THanks guyS!
[14:01]  * lordievader starts to think that removing all gui packages from a tty is a good idea
[16:12] <user|21691> ahoy there good folks of the interwebs!
[16:13] <user|21691> i have a slight problem, after a power outage, my kubuntu ssd wont boot at all, it freezes on the startup picture... any of you have some idea as to what to do now_
[16:55] <user|13228> Hello - can someone tell me where the chat app settings for telepathy are stored? Whenever I try to click on Settings > Configure Chat Application in the menu, the chat app crashes.
[17:52] <slayerbrk> So for some reason on kubuntu every time i reboot kate gets readded to my favorites. Any idea how to prevent this?
[18:54] <SlayerBRK> im having an issue with my favorites, every time I rebbot kate is added to to favorites even though i removed it.
[18:55] <SlayerBRK> reboot*
[20:26] <BluesKaj> SlayerBRK, looks like it's there by default
[22:20] <Alumin> how can I adjust the mouse sensitivity of my Trackpoint mouse?  I can't find anything in the control panel, and listing the properties with xinput doesn't show anything that seems to help (although I did try fiddling with a few values)
[22:21] <Alumin> right now it's so fast all the time that I can hardly click on small icons and window controls
[22:25] <valorie> I usually get to the right place with krunner, which is alt+space
[22:25] <valorie> or alt+f2
[22:26] <valorie> type mouse
[22:26] <valorie> should get you to the right place
[22:27] <valorie> Alumin: ^^^
[22:28] <Alumin> valorie: where are you suggesting I check, besides the mouse section of System Settings?
[22:29] <valorie> afaik that's it
[22:29] <valorie> there should be maybe an advanced section?
[22:29] <valorie> or so
[22:30] <Alumin> nope
