[06:16] <CrazyTux> hello, how can I instlall Kubuntu desktop environment on Ubuntu Mate?

[06:42] <pinkyprincess> The cat is out of the bag now.
[06:43] <krytarik> pinkyprincess: Please leave voluntarily.
[06:43] <krytarik> valorie: And they got it answered over in ##linux.
[06:44] <valorie> oh good
[06:44] <valorie> you must have a very good "stern voice" krytarik
[06:45] <krytarik> Hehe. :D
[07:35] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:39] <valorie> morning, lordievader
[07:40] <lordievader> Hey valorie
[07:40] <lordievader> How are you doing?
[07:40] <valorie> I'm good, and you?
[07:41] <valorie> we've almost made it through January
[07:41] <valorie> what a month
[07:41] <lordievader> Doing good here :)
[07:58] <CrazyTux> hello, I just installed Kubuntu Desktop. This package kde-telepathy-minimal is showing as broken in synaptic package manager. How to correct it?
[07:58] <valorie> CrazyTux: it is no longer maintained, so I would remove it
[07:59] <valorie> it's too bad it was installed as part of Kubuntu desktop
[07:59] <CrazyTux> ok
[07:59] <CrazyTux> shall I remove it then?
[08:00] <CrazyTux> which file manager is used in Kubuntu, by default?
[08:01] <valorie> Dolphin
[08:01] <valorie> which rocks by the way
[08:01] <CrazyTux> ok. How can I configure it so that folders open by double clicking rather than a single click?
[08:01] <valorie> telepathy used to rock as well, but all parts of it up and down the stack are rotting
[08:02] <CrazyTux> valorie, I'll remove telepathy.
[08:02] <valorie> systemsettings > window behavior
[08:02] <valorie> or just type doubleclick like I did in krunner
[08:02] <valorie> :-)
[08:03] <valorie> alt+space or alt+f4 depending on your version of kubuntu
[08:03] <hateball> alt+f2
[08:04] <valorie> oops
[08:04] <valorie> of course, gosh
[08:04] <hateball> but alt+space is a saner combo and has been there since... I cant remember, 16.04?
[08:05] <valorie> I always use it now, so forgot the right f key
[08:05] <valorie> thanks, hateball
[08:08] <CrazyTux> btw, which display manager is to be used for Kubuntu Desktop?
[08:08] <CrazyTux> sddm or lightdm?
[08:09] <hateball> CrazyTux: sddm is the default
[08:10] <CrazyTux> hateball, ok.
[08:10] <CrazyTux> I am not able to use KDE Connect.
[08:11] <CrazyTux> to connect to my android smartphone.
[08:14] <hateball> CrazyTux: Give some more info as to what is not working
[08:14] <hateball> You need to be on the same network subnet to start with
[08:15] <CrazyTux> does it need a network?
[08:15] <CrazyTux> I am using a wifi network
[08:18] <hateball> CrazyTux: both your phone and computer need to be on the same network
[08:22] <CrazyTux> hateball, now I am using a single wifi network for both of them.
[08:23] <hateball> CrazyTux: so what is the actual issue? can you not see the phone? can you see it but not pair?
[08:24] <hateball> etc
[08:24] <CrazyTux> I can't see the phone here
[08:26] <CrazyTux> I have the KDE Connect app installed on my android smartphone. I am not able to find my laptop displayed there.
[08:26] <valorie> did you go through the pairing dance?
[08:26] <valorie> I find it works better from the phone to the laptop
[08:26] <valorie> discover > ask for pairing
[08:27] <CrazyTux> under the available devices there is no device shown.
[08:27] <valorie> on laptop, accept pairing
[08:27] <valorie> hmm
[08:27] <CrazyTux> does it need bluetooth to be on?
[08:27] <valorie> are the apps on the two devices roughly the same version number?
[08:27] <CrazyTux> to pair?
[08:27] <valorie> no, bt not needed
[08:28] <hateball> CrazyTux: are you running a firewall on your machine?
[08:28] <CrazyTux> hateball, yes. Ufw.
[08:28] <hateball> https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#I_have_two_devices_running_KDE_Connnect_on_the_same_network.2C_but_they_can.27t_see_each_other
[08:33] <CrazyTux> guys, thanks a lot. I am now able to pair the devices.
[08:35] <valorie> not a guy, but yw
[08:35] <CrazyTux> KDE Connect is awesome.
[08:35] <CrazyTux> thanks a lot.
[08:35] <hateball> :)
[08:35] <valorie> it is lovely, really
[08:36]  * valorie get off irc
[08:36] <valorie> niters all
[08:36] <CrazyTux> this is exactly what I was looking for.
[08:40] <CrazyTux> does file transfer between the two devices using KDE Connect use network data?
[08:46] <hateball> CrazyTux: it uses your local network and nothing else
[08:47] <CrazyTux> ok
[08:51] <CrazyTux> hateball, I am getting this error while updating the system. How can I correct it? https://hastebin.com/kumidilusi.vbs
[08:54] <hateball> thats a rather strange url
[08:55] <hateball> CrazyTux: well like it says, you have the same sources configured in multiple files
[08:55] <hateball> and W: is a warning, not an error
[08:57] <CrazyTux> ok. I removed one for the sources list. Let me try updating again.
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:57] <gkohley> I have a question, maybe someone here can answer,  how can you keep Konversation running when closing it in the dock, like Kopete?
[12:59] <BluesKaj> dock?
[13:00] <gkohley> in the status and notifcations area?
[13:02] <BluesKaj> you can minimize to the system tray by eabling the system tray in general behavior in settings>configure
[13:03] <BluesKaj> enabling
[13:03] <gkohley> thank you!
[14:38] <gilles_> Hi there everyone
[15:50] <simulant_> Hi can anyone help me get a screen resolution working that refuses to work?
[15:55] <simulant_> so far I've tried xrandr but get an error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26484345/
[16:02] <BluesKaj> simulant_:  what does just xrandr output?
[16:03] <simulant_> BluesKaj: currently I've got it as high as 2560x1080 and it shows this with xrandr DP-1 connected 2560x1080+2560+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 160mm x 90mm
[16:06] <simulant_> BluesKaj: it seems to be the height I can't get it to set higher than 1080 on VGA...
[16:07] <BluesKaj> simulant_, ok, don't think VGA can go higher than 1080, but I'm just guessing
[16:08] <simulant_> BluesKaj: no it can as my old monitor I just swapped out with this new one did 2048x1152 on the same vga port
[16:09] <BluesKaj> my TV/monitor isn't capable of higher vertical res then 1080, using DVI to hdmi here
[16:09] <BluesKaj> than
[16:10] <BluesKaj> what about your dpi setting?
[16:11] <simulant_> BluesKaj: no idea how to adjust dpi??
[16:12] <simulant_> So far I've just done these: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26484430/
[16:13] <BluesKaj> system setiings>fonts>enable/force dpi
[16:14] <BluesKaj> it doesn't just affect fonts btw
[16:14] <simulant_> BluesKaj: hmm not sure about that as I have more than one monitor so it will mess them all up
[16:14] <BluesKaj> dunno why the dpi setting is there
[16:15] <BluesKaj> bummer
[16:16] <BluesKaj> simulant_, a good place to ask might be ##linux chat if you can't get anymore info here or in #ubuntu
[16:22] <Linpassion> hello
[16:24] <Linpassion> I whish to try kubuntu, so It's run under laptop by intel celeron 1.2gh and 4gb ram?
[16:38] <linpassion> hi
[16:40] <[Relic]> !bugs
[16:42] <vip> hello, I'm having problems with enabling sddm with systemctl
[16:42] <vip> https://gist.github.com/vip9/970d537b570614355bb1d39f2aa5e374
[16:42] <linpassion> I'd lke to try so i sai...can I use kububtu under laptot by celeron 1.2ghz ande 4gb ram?
[16:42] <vip> needed to disable it autostarting (systemctl disable sddm) because of lack of xorg input drivers, and I cannot enable it back
[16:43] <vip> kubuntu 17.10
[16:47] <BluesKaj> linpassion, yes it should run ok as longas you don't have too many apps open at the same time
[16:48] <BluesKaj> vip, which gpu? and dids you try to install the linux recommended driver for it?
[16:50] <vip> BluesKaj: intel
[16:50] <vip> BluesKaj: sddm is starting, and was working well
[16:50] <vip> I just need to enable it again to start automatically
[16:50] <vip> systemctl start sddm works
[16:52] <BluesKaj> vip, ok so .... ?
[16:52] <vip> so I cannot enable it, look at gist
[16:52] <vip> systemd has some issues with itself, and I don't know what they are
[16:56] <BluesKaj> vip I had the same issue except starting sddm didn't work for me, so i had to regress to the default nouveau driver, but I'm not sure why sddm doesn't auto start
[16:56] <BluesKaj> nouveau driver is for nvidia gpus
[16:57] <vip> it just cannot be enabled by systemctl
[16:57] <vip> but he could disable it
[17:01] <BluesKaj> vip, you could try adding a small bash script in startup & shutdown to start sddm before kde/plasma loads (sudo systemctl start sddm) and name it sddmstart.sh or some such
[17:05] <BluesKaj> you did say sddm starts with that commands , right?
[17:22] <vip> BluesKaj: yes, but that's a workaround
[17:23] <[Relic]> is this a black screen problem with the nvidia drivers and the new kernels?
[17:23] <vip> no, no problem with starting
[17:23] <vip> problem with enabling
[17:24] <BluesKaj> if it starts it's enabled, it just won't start automatically
[17:26] <[Relic]> ok, I just know when I udpated the last couple linux images, I had to purge the nvidia stuff and can't get anything above 384 to bring up the log on screen; had to go through the terminal to do that
[17:30] <BluesKaj> [Relic], that's because the 384 driver is correct one for your gpu
[17:31] <[Relic]> BluesKaj, but that blocks the use of cuda 9-1 since it installs 387.xx
[17:31] <BluesKaj> you don't just pick and choose any nvidia driver for your gpu
[17:32] <[Relic]> which was working just fine before the last 2-3 linux images
[17:32] <BluesKaj> cuda is a different thing
[17:32] <[Relic]> but installing cuda installs something other than 384
[17:33] <amitosh> If you have a optimus laptop, you can switch to intel drivers and still use CUDA
[17:34] <BluesKaj> [Relic], essentially they are the same driver, one accommodates cuda, the other is more basic afaik
[17:35] <[Relic]> one loads, one black screens with the new linux images; but cuda 9 has a great increase in speed up from 8 to 9
[17:36] <BluesKaj> well use what suits you as long as it works
[17:36] <[Relic]> but right now I am trying to figure out why older cameras can't be detected through USB or if they are why I keep getting and IO error when trying to access them (they work perfectly fine on 14.04 LTS)
[17:47] <ronnoc> mesa updated to v18.0 over the weekend, and now my lock screen is broken. I have to use 'loginctl unlock-session 2' to get my session back. but not sure if it's a KDE thing or Mesa thing or how best to report it...
[17:57] <amitosh> ronnoc, I had this problem, seems like it was magically "fixed" by a new nvidia-384
[18:23] <whereIsOverUnity> hi
[18:28] <BluesKaj> hi
[18:28] <whereIsOverUnity> Im new, where can I find a server list and import it into Konversation?
[18:31] <BluesKaj> server lists can be found here, http://irc.netsplit.de/servers/?net=freenode
[18:31] <BluesKaj> whereIsOverUnity,^
[18:32] <whereIsOverUnity> thx
[18:32] <BluesKaj> np
[18:41] <whereIsOverUnity> I've got a question about my /tmp folder, I use Kubuntu 16.04 and I've this strange files: "sddm--sgIEnB" - "sddm--sgIEnB" - "sddm-:0-iPDnCa" - "sddm-:0-iPDnCa" - "sddm-authb447640d-56ae-47e1-b9cb-ac5e4305b556" "sddm-authcac8dd9c-cc6f-4f81-8de6-b028e2f62953"
[18:42] <whereIsOverUnity> I also had "sddm" user processes running, I killed one of them and my browser seems going faster
[18:42] <whereIsOverUnity> can I have been hacked some way?
