GraemeLionHmm.  Just installed kubuntu 18.04 Beta 2.. is it normal for kwin to be really kinda crashy?  Alt-tabs kill it.  (I know this is beta, but this seems a bit abnormal from what I'm used to from ubuntu betas)01:02
Kon-Are you on Wayland or X11? Which GPU do you have? What drivers are you using?01:06
Kon-Is it an upgrade or a fresh install?01:06
GraemeLionAMD RX480, X11, should be using whatever is in the kernel, which is 4.15.0-13-generic01:08
GraemeLionfresh install01:08

IrcsomeBot<‎ ‎> Hi, how can I bind start button to win button?11:04
lordievaderYou can't. The windows button (Super) is a modifier key, not a key on its own.12:28
IrcsomeBot<‎ ‎> What is the difference between a modifier Key and a Key?12:36
DragnslcrA modifier key can't trigger an action on its own, it can only be checked along with a regular key12:54
mparilloHowever, the latest version of kwin (I think) now binds the super key to the kicker application launcher. At least it does for me on a clean install.14:30
IrcsomeBot<‎ ‎> Is latest version of kwin only in Kubuntu 17.10.1?14:33
mparilloI think if you apply backports you get it in 17.04 also.14:39
IrcsomeBot<‎ ‎> Did you mean 16.04?14:43
mparilloSorry, yes. The current LTS.14:43
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> I think it works in plasma 5.8 in backports ppa for 16.04?14:44

KB5Hello. I recently replace Windows 10 with Kubuntu 18.04 beta 2 and there is one little issue that keeps nagging at me. This is desktop PC but I have plugged it to Eaton UPS. Battery status is received via USB cable. Works fine in Windows. But Kubuntu keeps telling me battery charge is 0% and that the UPS is not charging. Meanwhile Kubuntu 18.04 beta 2 reports Lenovo Thinkpad battery status correctly.15:17
KB5Is there something I can do to resolve the issue?15:18
BluesKajKB5, if the battery status is reported correctly then kubuntu is doing it's job. Dobn't think there's a linux app for monitoring Uninterupptable Power Supplies15:46
BluesKajoops uninterruptible15:48
KB5BluesKaj: UPS is recognized as a battery. To the OS there is no difference between UPS and internal battery.15:55
KB5Other than one being internal and the other external of course.15:56
BluesKajit should be ,if anything be recognized as a power supply15:59

kvuser618.0420:13
valoriekvuser6: did you verify the image?20:13
valorie!md520:13
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows20:13
kvuser6is this a reported problem?20:13
kvuser6yeah i did20:14

kvuser6i downloaded it twice and anyway20:14
kvuser6no the final beta220:14

kvuser6does your computer have a nvidia20:14
valorieyes20:14
kvuser6mine is a gtx 1050ti20:14
kvuser6I saw it was causing issues on 17.1020:15

valoriepretty hard to file a bug when nothing works20:16
valorieyou'll get no logs if you can't get to a terminal20:17
kvuser6yeah20:17
kvuser6i cant20:17
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I recommend trying nomodeset....20:17
valorie!nomodeset20:17
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter20:17
valoriegood idea, @DarinMiller20:17
kvuser6hm interesting20:18
kvuser6how do i use that to a live usb20:18
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> My Dell Inspiron 7559 requires nomodeset for install and boot until I install NVidia drivers.20:18
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Which begs the question, which video driver.20:19
kvuser6oh i can set it on the usb stick grub file20:19
kvuser6i think mine is the same then20:19
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> errr.^^^ which video card do you have?20:20
kvuser6gtx 1050ti20:20
kvuser6nvidia20:20
kvuser6so if i edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on the usb stick that can get solved?20:21
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Yep, my guess is nomodeset will be required.  If you go straight to install, nomodeset is not necessary20:21
kvuser6the only option i have is try kubuntu20:22
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> no, in the boot menu, with the numeric list, Hit the "e" key to edit the grub boot line.20:22
kvuser6and i realyl wanted to try it20:22
kvuser6but shouldnt it work if i manually add to the grub.cfg?20:22
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> It's a bit ambiguous to explain, but very easy once you have done it once.20:23
kvuser6okay ill try it20:24
kvuser6ill be back soon if it doesnt work20:24
kvuser6thanks!20:24
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> OK :)20:24
