[10:41] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:10] <Kali_Yuga> hello I installed ubuntu 16.04 + kubuntu-desktop with the backports ppa... everythings fine so far besides when I boot my laptop which is connected to a second screen. my laptop turns off and is in some kind of suspension & the power light is blinking. I have to restart and leave the lid half open and hope the screen comes on :/ ... I changed "when laptop lid is closed" to do nothing. but I still have
[13:10] <Kali_Yuga> this issue.

 I was trying out the Beta build of Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and I faced the same issue I faced earlier with 17.10. When resizing any window, there are times when it will flicker. It's random, and switching compositing backend to  openGL 3 didn't help either. … Using Xrender helped in removing the flicker, but then everything started to tear. Even when I forced full screen repaints, the tearing wouldn't stop. … I don't know if it's a X
[18:40] <erin-forever> Hi, there!  Itl ooks like my Muon software is absent from my system, how do I re-establish?
[18:41] <hegemon8> mean muon package manager?
[18:41] <erin-forever> yes
[18:41] <hegemon8> sudo apt install muon
[18:42] <erin-forever> will the repositories likely not be lost?
[18:42] <hegemon8> it uses same repositories as rest of system
[18:42] <hegemon8> so should be same repos you have using apt or apt-get
[18:43] <erin-forever> thank you
[18:44] <hegemon8> i always liked synaptic on gnome... i just... don't like gnome ^^ so since muon came to live i was using the hell out of that, then it was abandoned a bit, but recently it got new friends that updated stuff and works fine since
[18:44] <hegemon8> cause discover... idea is good, but well, pretty but freezes...
[18:44] <hegemon8> all tho muon sometimes don't like typing too fast package name too :)
[18:45] <hegemon8> anyways, it should work fine, so - enjoy :)
[18:45] <erin-forever> unable to locate package muon
[18:47] <hegemon8> what version You're at?
[18:47] <hegemon8> oh, wait, i know, i know that one :)
[18:48] <hegemon8> it may be in multiverse repository, that isn't on my default
[18:48] <hegemon8> by*
[18:48] <erin-forever> 16.04 LTS
[18:49] <hegemon8> same as mine
[18:49] <erin-forever> :-)
[18:49] <hegemon8> so lets assume Your multiverse repo isn't 'on'
[18:49] <hegemon8> http://www.ocsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/discover-settings-sources-visual-bugs.png
[18:50] <hegemon8> graphical way to turn it on is to go to 'my fav' discover
[18:50] <hegemon8> then click settings (bottom left)
[18:51] <hegemon8> on top-left of right side window there is "More..." button
[18:51] <hegemon8> and once clicked - Software sources
[18:52] <hegemon8> there should be multiverse sources there somewhere for You to click
[18:52] <erin-forever> the favorites menu does not have an icon for muon
[18:53] <hegemon8> (if there will be 2 entries, one will have Source Code in name or so, skip that one if you have 2)
[18:53] <hegemon8> cause You need to add it to favorites with right click and add to favorites
[18:53] <hegemon8> how sysnem know its your fav otherwise?:) its not google, it doesn't know :)
[18:55] <hegemon8> did you add the repositories and managed to get that muon working?
[18:56] <erin-forever> no, i'm struggling a bit with the fav thing
[18:56] <hegemon8> You can do it that way if can't find yourself in options in gui
[18:56] <hegemon8> sudo apt-add-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update
[18:56] <hegemon8> then sudo apt install muon
[18:57] <hegemon8> well, to add a program to favorites in default kubuntu 'start menu', just navigate to the app, right click on it and select 'add to favorites'
[18:57] <hegemon8> thats all
[18:58] <hegemon8> ... but to add muon to favorites it is good to install it first...
[18:59] <hegemon8> just saying ;P
[19:00] <erin-forever> the install is making progress after update...
[19:01] <hegemon8> ah, then should do fine, let me know after, if something, i'm here
[19:01] <erin-forever> ok then
[19:01] <hegemon8> all tho if someone smarter want to trim in, feel free
[19:01] <erin-forever> i will
[19:01] <hegemon8> sure, np
[19:07] <erin-forever> hegemon8 - I got muon back and runnin!g
[19:07] <hegemon8> ah, great, i assume fresh install?
[19:07] <erin-forever> yes, must be
[19:07] <erin-forever> thanks
[19:08] <hegemon8> well if You're not RMS's direct relative, You may like mp3 and all, do yourself a favor and install 'restricted codecs and extras" with: sudo apt install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:09] <hegemon8> should give You java, fonts, codecs etc. handy in one meta-package
[19:11] <hegemon8> (or just find it in muon since You've got it working). Anyways, glad it worked for You
[20:35] <Arthur_D> why does baloo_file_extractor take up 9 GB of memory?
[20:40] <hegemon8> it tend to happen in older versions of plasma
[20:40] <hegemon8> Arthur_D: what version You're on?
[20:41] <Arthur_D> 5.10.5
[20:43] <hegemon8> was on 5.12 on alpha kubu 18.04, now on 5.8.8 with 16.04 kubu... but my issues with baloo were on kubuntu 16.10?... idk... there is some results in google, hard to say, i'm no expert, and i don't use much of indexing features... hmm...
[20:43] <Arthur_D> I'm on 17.10
[20:44] <hegemon8> not a solution, but if You like to turn it off, arch wiki (as it does) have some handy info...
[20:44] <hegemon8> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193169
[20:46] <hegemon8> https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Debugging
[20:47] <hegemon8> and that may come in handy... sorry, not expert on that, i could mess on my system and try things, but thats as much as i can recommend others to try...
[20:53] <Arthur_D> thanks for the help hegemon8 :)
[20:54] <hegemon8> Arthur_D: no mention (and i mean it^^ - didn't help much)
[20:55] <hegemon8> last time i had that issue, i've got rid off indexing :) (disabled it)  so not really a solution to Your problem (but when tried to uninstall baloo, half of kde was packing bags to go with it
[20:56] <hegemon8> so killed process, disabled it from some online guide and i've called it good. Sorry couldn't help more
