[00:00] <acheronuk> no, that's a script, not the config. by default /etc/sddm.conf does not exist as not needed
[00:01] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: If the sddm greeter crashes, then there must be some error message in the sddm log. did you give the full log of the sddm greeter previously or a partial one?
[00:02] <phoenix_firebrd> acheronuk: ok
[00:02] <acheronuk>  /etc/sddm.conf will get created if you change setting, like set autologin
[00:02] <phoenix_firebrd> ok
[00:03] <phoenix_firebrd> acheronuk: which process creates the .xauthority file? xserver?
[00:04] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: can you paste the log once again using this command. journalctl -u sddm.service
[00:04] <phoenix_firebrd> acheronuk: and journalctl -u sddm.service is by default verbose?
[00:07] <phoenix_firebrd> acheronuk: scott__ check this out https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/295#event-184014278
[00:09] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: is sddm service enabled?
[00:18] <scott__> sorry, was getting kids ready for bed
[00:20] <scott__> https://pastebin.com/Q0U8azNH
[00:21] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__:  can you paste the output of the following command "sudo journalctl -xn"
[00:23] <scott__> Here is the output to sudo journalctl -xn: https://pastebin.com/MDiUMAJm
[00:27] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: I think you are copying the log improperly
[00:28] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: how did you get that log?
[00:28] <scott__> oh sorry let me try again.  I didn't have konsole maximized
[00:28] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: no try piping to a text file
[00:28] <Fritigern> sudo journalctl -xn > textfile.txt
[00:29] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__:  like "sudo journalctl -xn > thelog.txt" then paste the content of the thelog.txt file here
[00:30] <phoenix_firebrd> Fritigern: just saw it :)
[00:30] <Fritigern> Um, best paste the contents of thelog.txt to pastebin...
[00:31] <scott__> try this https://pastebin.com/7SeQ9mtz
[00:34] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: run the following command and see if you see "active" in the message "sudo systemctl status sddm"
[00:35] <scott__> it is active
[00:35] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: and says running?
[00:36] <Esteban16> phoenix_firebrd: Hi. I just wrote the iso in the pendrive but in the boot option menu when selecting the USB it takes me to Kubuntu, not the the Windows installation
[00:37] <Esteban16> (with Rosa ImageWriter)
[00:37] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: you need to use a windows system and use the rufus application to prepare the windows iso. preparing a windows iso in linux is difficut
[00:37] <phoenix_firebrd> *difficult
[00:38] <scott__> it does say it's running.  Here's the pastebin if you need/want it: https://pastebin.com/f78e6iDA
[00:39] <Esteban16> phoenix_firebrd: Ok, I will prepare the iso in a Windows PC and then use the pendrive in Linux. Is it okay?
[00:39] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: are you using a wayland session?
[00:40] <scott__> how can I check that?
[00:40] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors?
[00:41] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: using top
[00:42] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: if you see any process like xwayland then you might be using wayland
[00:42] <scott__> according to top I'm using xorg
[00:42] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: ok
[00:42] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors?
[00:42] <scott__> sure brb
[00:42] <phoenix_firebrd> ok
[00:43] <Esteban16> phoenix_firebrd: Hey!
[00:43] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: hi
[00:44] <Esteban16> │19:39:13       Esteban16 | phoenix_firebrd: Ok, I will prepare the iso in a Windows PC and then use the pendrive in Linux. Is it okay?
[00:44] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: after preparing the pendrive what are going to do with it in linux?
[00:45] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: Here is ksysguard with the new sensors tab I added. I didn't need to install lm-sensors at all. =) https://i.imgur.com/vCtihwt.png
[00:45] <Esteban16> phoenix_firebrd: To install Windows and remove Kubuntu. Sadly Linux is not for me
[00:45] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: Keepin it clean and mean. No need for extra cruft. =) kubuntu is serious business.
[00:46] <BionicMac> I added the "TEMPS" tab.
[00:46] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: what is that application?
[00:46] <BionicMac> ksysguard "System MOnitor"
[00:46] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac:  I think I have used that way back
[00:47] <BionicMac> It's part of default Plasma/Kde Kubuntu install.
[00:47] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: how did you get the temp tab?
[00:47] <Guest68780> phoenix_firebrd: I didn't write that command down.  What do I type after I reboot? lol
[00:47] <Guest68780> it's scott btw
[00:48] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: then go ahead and backup your data and then boot into your pendrive directly and then install windows
[00:48] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: "Settings/Show Toolbar" -> Then on the now visible toolbar "New Tab"
[00:49] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: using linux takes a little bit of getting to know the preliminary infos, but it is the future
[00:49] <BionicMac> There is another way without showing the toolbar, of course you can hide it when finished working with tabs.
[00:50] <phoenix_firebrd> Guest68780: did you run the command startx?
[00:50] <Esteban16> phoenix_firebrd: That's what I wanted to do :) but you just told me that preparing Windows isos in Linux is difficult, so I'll prepare in a Windows computer and do the rest.
[00:50] <Guest68780> I think it was sudo systemctl something sddm
[00:50] <Esteban16> *prepare it
[00:50] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: 'ksysguard' supports remote monitoring also.
[00:50] <phoenix_firebrd> scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors?
[00:50] <phoenix_firebrd> Guest68780: ^
[00:50] <Guest68780> I had to, because I forgot what you said to type, and of course i didn't think to write it down
[00:50] <Guest68780> ok thanks
[00:51] <Guest68780> oh hey i did type that
[00:51] <Guest68780> nothing happened
[00:51] <Guest68780> or at least nothing appeared to happen
[00:51] <Esteban16> Again, thank you for your help phoenix_firebrd. Hope this time works
[00:51] <BionicMac> Esteban16: Good luck man.
[00:51] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: wait
[00:52] <Esteban16> Ok!
[00:52] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: if you are familiar with virtualbox, you could install reactos, mount the usb pendrive and then use rufus to write the iso in it
[00:53] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: but ofcorse you need to be familiar with virtualbox or vmware
[00:54] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: are you on 18.04?
[00:54] <Esteban16> Unfortunately I just used Virtualbox to install Windows (and that's not enough). I'm not familiar with it.
[00:56] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: yes. last nights buildd.
[00:56] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: I just got that tab, I installed from the gethotnewstuff dialog
[00:57] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: I just took the "Feature Tour" . Where is the gethotnewstuff?
[00:57] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: you downloaded a ready made tab? I made minee from scratch. I didn't know you could do that.
[00:59] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: ok, I found hotnewstuff...
[01:00] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: You downloaded "Temperature (lmsensors)" from gethotnewstuff ?
[01:01] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: How about a screenshot of your new tab? =)
[01:03] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: try "super+up-arrow" when focused on a window.
[01:04] <BionicMac> super+any-arrow =)
[01:09] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: https://imgur.com/a/xmmGy
[01:11] <phoenix_firebrd> feeling sleepy
[01:11] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: nice. They must use the lmsenors integratde into the ksysguard. When I added my temp tab I ket seeing lmsensors verbage from time to time in the process.
[01:12] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: getting blurry eyed here also.
[01:14] <phoenix_firebrd> hope the upcoming version is without any problematic bugs. I will try testing the betas later and check
[01:16] <phoenix_firebrd> Esteban16: sorry couldnt help you further, may be someone else will help you. But strictly support for creating a windows boot usb is not given here
[01:16] <phoenix_firebrd> I am off to bed, good night all
[01:17] <BionicMac> phoenix_firebrd: you mean the daily builds? Or the final release? If you need help testing let me know what I can do to help please. I don't mind setting aside a partition to reinstall frequently onto.
[01:17] <Guest68780> goodnight phoenix_firebrd thanks for your help
[01:17] <BionicMac> night, and let me know. Thanks again for all the help. Let me know how I can help test for the community.
[01:18] <phoenix_firebrd> BionicMac: Guest68780 yw
[04:12] <valorie> BionicMac: we will need testers next week for the beta2 candidate
[04:12] <valorie> not sure what day the ISOs will be spun
[05:22] <BionicMac> valorie: I would be glad to test Kubuntu 18.04 Beta2. I have a partition ready to go on this iMac. I can pm you my email if you wish.
[05:22] <valorie> are you on the Kubuntu-devel ML or -users?
[05:22] <valorie> I'm getting a story ready for the website
[05:22] <valorie> I don't need your mail
[05:23] <valorie> set yourself up on the qatracker
[05:23] <valorie> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker
[05:23] <valorie> get a login, read some of the help text, etc.
[05:29] <BionicMac> valorie: Great. On the way to the qatracker now...
[05:29] <BionicMac> Oh! more updates on Kubuntu.
[05:29] <valorie> you can ask questions about it here, or /j #kubuntu-devel
[05:30] <BionicMac> ok joining devel now.
[05:35] <BionicMac> valorie: I am not on either ML. I will register on Kubuntu-devel and -users.
[05:36] <valorie> it's good to have people on -users who can answer questions
[05:36] <valorie> some are basic, some are head-scratchers
[05:37] <valorie> -devel is devel stuff rather than questions
[05:37] <BionicMac> noted.
[05:39] <BionicMac> Oh... more Kubuntu updates since 30 minutes ago. 4 more right now: all related to *plymouth*
[05:41] <BionicMac> I like Muon. It is the first GuiFied 'apt' frontend I feel cozy with for some reason. I just like it. =)
[05:43] <BionicMac> I'm up to stuff fully up to date.
[05:44] <BionicMac> Killer default Icons on Kubuntu. I really love the default theme/Icons/Look&Feel/etc.. etc... in 18.04..
[06:21] <valorie> you'll be not at all surprised by beta2 then
[06:21] <valorie> but we need the installer and installation process as a whole tested too
[06:21] <valorie> in fact, that's the main test
[06:23] <BionicMac> valorie: Ok. Sounds great.
[06:24] <BionicMac> valorie: Done and done. both ML & qatracker.
[06:24] <valorie> you'll be able to just zsync your beta 1 ISO
[06:25] <BionicMac> Ok. I have the beta 1 iso from 3-29.
[06:25] <valorie> http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2018/01/seeding-new-isos-easy-zsync-way.html
[06:26] <BionicMac> check... on it.
[06:26] <valorie> http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2018/03/more-zsync-magic-for-lts-updates.html
[06:26] <valorie> for more about that
[06:26] <BionicMac> bookmarked and open. thanks!
[06:27] <valorie> :-)
[06:27] <valorie> about to head to bed
[06:27] <valorie> tomorrow is no longer a fool's day
[06:27] <valorie> :-)
[06:28] <BionicMac> me too... only because I took a melatonin about 20 minutes ago and it is hitting me. =0
[06:29] <BionicMac> Thanks for everything valorie. sleep tight.
[08:58] <user__> hey
[09:01] <user__> anyone?
[09:07] <ricktimmis[m]> Hey there
[09:10] <user__> i have a question regarding the virtual desktops
[09:10] <user__> the icons of the apps dont disappear
[09:10] <user__> so when i have ff on desktop 1, i can still see it on desktop 2
[09:11] <user__> how do i disable that?
[09:15] <ricktimmis[m]> Right click on top bar of FF, the choose which desktops to display on
[09:16] <ricktimmis[m]> You will also see choices for activities there too
[09:16] <user__> i just see move to desktop X
[09:16] <user__> it doesnt solve the problem
[09:16] <user__> i can see the ICON (not the window) in my taskbar
[09:17] <user__> so when i am on desktop 2 i see firefox in the task bar
[09:17] <user__> obviously when i click on it, it will move to desktop 1 and show me firefox there
[09:17] <user__> but i dont want to see the firefox icon in the task bar on desktop 2
[09:17] <user__> otherwise i have all icons cluttered on all my desktops
[09:20] <acheronuk> user__: have you 'pinned' it in error? if so, right click the icon and untick 'pin'
[09:20] <user__> acheronuk: No i havent
[09:20] <user__> and i have this behavior for all apps
[09:20] <user__> not just ff
[09:20] <user__> for all windows
[09:22] <acheronuk> ok. right click the task manager to get task manager settings, and make sure "show only tasks from the current desktop" is set
[09:23] <user__> acheronuk: Thank you! I was searching for this
[09:23] <acheronuk> no problem :)
[09:24] <user__> I have another question
[09:25] <user__> i have seen a lot of people with some kind of dock thing
[09:25] <user__> like in this picture on the left
[09:25] <user__> https://cn.pling.com/img/c/c/f/b/ef003de15fff2e620a9c3b9201bbcff30856.png
[09:25] <user__> How do i get this? What is that?
[09:27] <acheronuk> they are using latte-dock
[10:02] <werner_> Hi & happy easter from Berlin, I installed Kubuntu 17.10 on a T410. I get the following:
[10:02] <werner_> start-pulseaudio-x11
[10:03] <werner_> Verbindungsfehler: Verbindung verweigert
[10:03] <werner_> pa_context_new() fehlgeschlagen: Verbindung verweigert
[10:03] <werner_> any clues?
[10:09] <vespertatia> Go to System Settings > Driver Manager ?
[11:00] <werner_> tbc...
[11:00] <werner_> start-pulseaudio-x11
[11:00] <werner_> Verbindungsfehler: Verbindung verweigert
[11:00] <werner_> pa_context_new() fehlgeschlagen: Verbindung verweigert
[11:01] <werner_> I changed to the NVIDIA driver
[11:01] <werner_> no Pulseaudio
[11:01] <werner_> next annoyance:
[11:02] <werner_> the context menu in Firefox and thunderbird now need 5 sec to show up.
[11:03] <werner_> DMESG says:
[11:03] <werner_> duplicate WMI GUID 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 (first instance was on PNP0C14:00)
[11:03] <werner_> How can I get rid of this ‎ "duplicate WMI GUID"?
[11:04] <werner_> Or should I reinstall Kubuntu for the 7th time now?
[11:05] <werner_> Does anyone have a clear Kubuntu by starting from scratch? Not me.
[11:20] <vespertatia> weverner_: It seems there's a ton of compatibility issues. Try entering these commands in Konsole:
[11:20] <vespertatia> sudo apt update
[11:20] <vespertatia> sudo apt upgrade
[11:27] <werner_> I did full-upgrade - no success
[12:03] <obert> full-upgrade exists?
[12:39] <mparillo> sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
[12:40] <mparillo> not 100% sure if full-upgrade works with the older apt-get.
[12:40] <obert> never seen full-upgrade before
[12:41] <R13ose> When I am in a text field, + signs type forever without me doing anything and I can stop this by hitting shift.  How do I stop this?
[12:43] <R13ose> holding shift down*
[13:05] <R13ose> Any thoughts on my question?
[14:41] <fujisan> hi
[14:41] <fujisan> im new here hello greetings my frands
[14:42] <fujisan> can i run kubuntu with oxygen the 2010 edition?
[15:22] <herbeto> hey everyone! I'm sharing my laptop's ethernet connection via a hotspot to my phone. How do I change the DHCP server parameters asssigned to it?
[15:23] <herbeto> *to the phone
[15:23] <herbeto> under connection type, what does 'shared to other computers' mean?
[19:24] <AlexCDev> Hi, I've managed to break audio on my laptop. I was having the same issues as this ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/976375/kubuntu-17-10-no-audio-devices-found-no-settings-no-sound?rq=1 ) , and tried reinstalling pulse audio, but managed to remove the volume control program in kubuntu as well
[19:24] <AlexCDev> Apologies if I drop my connection is iffy, I'm on a train :p trying to make my slack notifications shut up, ahah
[19:25] <AlexCDev> so my issue is the same down to a tee, including spotify working, but firefox not, not being able to adjust the volume with the volume keys ect.
[19:31] <AlexCDev>  fixed, by editing the lines as per the askubuntu thread, then installing another manager like kmix
[19:48] <Blairen23> Has anyone here been able to use icloud web calendars with KOrganizer?
