[01:34] <jeri> just installed 14.04 lts, i wanted to know if i can upgrade to the latest kde, what i mean upgrade the desktop environment only, not upgrade to 16.04.
[01:35] <jeri> amd doesn't support 16.04 with amd gpu amd radeon 8470d. that's why i installed 14.04
[01:37] <mparillo> Not the latest, but you can install the Kubuntu Backports PPA.
[01:37] <mparillo> Oh, _14_
[01:38] <jeri> can you show me how?
[01:38] <mparillo> You can follow these instructions, but 14.04 is pretty old
[01:38] <mparillo> https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-11-5-bugfix-release-available-in-backports-ppa-for-artful-aardvark-17-10/
[01:39] <jeri> yeah. if it wasn't only for the gpu driver i wouldn't install 14.04
[01:39] <jeri> thank u.
[01:39] <mparillo> YW. I am afraid that backports will add nothing new. 14.04 is Plasma 4, right?
[01:41] <jeri> yes. umm really don't like the ui.
[01:43] <mparillo> Yes, 14.04 was the last Plasma 4 LTS release. Plasma 4 is pretty much pining for the fjords.
[01:45] <mparillo> By 14.10, Plasma 5 was optional (but pretty much unusable). After 3+ years, Plasma is in a good place again.
[01:45] <jeri> cool :)
[01:45] <jeri> the last time i used kubuntu was 6.06 lts, which i find it really good.
[01:50] <jeri> there is a bug, i think, when it ask me for the password in samba share, i provided my password but keeps asking me in a loop.
 SDDM question: why would SDDM start on hybrid laptop with the intel driver but not the NVidia driver?
[01:55] <mparillo> I am no expert on samba, and all I know about NVidia is the picture of Linus.
 @jeri, Which version of kubuntu?
[01:58] <jeri> lol haha
[01:58] <jeri> @IrcsomeBot you mean the one im using right now?
 @jeri, Yes, which version of kubuntu is samba causing trouble?
[02:04] <jeri> 14.04
 @jeri, I have not used 14.04 in a while, but I do remember it had issues.  I resorted to using fish://<server name> in dolphin as it was much easier and did not require manual sharing of invidiaul directories.
 I think you need to install ssh on respective machines to enable: sudo apt install openssh-client openssh-server
[02:26] <jeri> thank u @IrcsomeBot
[02:27] <jeri> just finished upgrading. need to reboot.
[02:28] <jeri> one last thing, at the konsole it said: setting up xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-xenial. does it mean its using gpu drivers from the latest 16.04?
 @jeri, I never have used AMD drivers on Linux, so I am no help there....
[02:30] <krytarik> But yes, it does.
[02:31] <jeri> aww okay @IrcsomeBot thank u ;)
[02:32] <jeri> @krytark radeon 8470d is not supported by amd on machines with 16.04
[02:32] <jeri> thats why left 16.04 awhile ago and installed 14.04
[02:33] <krytarik> Well, that's not the proprietary driver anyway.
[02:36] <krytarik> !amd
[02:39] <jeri> @krytarik okay. so it means amd hasn't have support for now but ubuntu has some driver for it?
[02:40] <jeri> btw im using an A6 6400k richland apu with 8470D gpu in it.
[02:50] <krytarik> jeri: So that looks like the open-source 'radeon' driver would be for you then.
[02:52] <jeri> oh okay. then the one im using for before i installed 14.04 is already good. just wanted to make sure im using the full potential of the gpu .
[02:57] <jeri> thanks @krytarik. and thank u guys
[06:05] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:03] <jeri> instead of reinstalling the 16.06 with usb, i'm doing an upgrade, what version will it be after it finish?
[10:22] <ktecho> Hi friends. I've just noticed that in my Kubuntu 18.04 there is a service called mpd.service. I've tracked it upto here:    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPD
[10:23] <ktecho> do you know what's it for? Do I need it to play music from VLC, MPV or Cantata?
 cantata
[10:24] <ktecho> I've seen that Cantata uses it, but I don't use Cantata, so it would be nice to know if I can remove it
 you can then
[10:25] <ktecho> just removed them. Will reboot to see if things continue to work
 Hi everyone. Will there be a more recent KDE framework in 16.04 any time soon? :-)
 No. Sorry
 Hi Rik. Thanks for the fast reply. Why won't there be an update?
 We can't support or do the QA to update the version in the archive. In backports PPA, we have the newest possible version supported by Qt 5.6 we have there.
[11:38] <Lorra> Hi everybody, I was trying to use my bluetooth speaker with KDE5. Association works just fine and the speaker emits its successful associaton tone, but then I cannot change the audio profile to A2DP nor to HSP/HFP. Does anybody have a clue about this? Thank you ^^
[11:46] <deniska_> когда релиз 18.04?
 @acheronuk, Thank you for your time and quick answer!
[12:53] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
