[01:02] <GraemeLion> Hmm.  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)
[01:06] <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?
[01:08] <GraemeLion> AMD RX480, X11, should be using whatever is in the kernel, which is 4.15.0-13-generic
[01:08] <GraemeLion> fresh install
[06:05] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:28] <lordievader> You can't. The windows button (Super) is a modifier key, not a key on its own.
[12:54] <Dragnslcr> A modifier key can't trigger an action on its own, it can only be checked along with a regular key
[14:30] <mparillo> However, 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.
[14:39] <mparillo> I think if you apply backports you get it in 17.04 also.
[14:43] <mparillo> Sorry, yes. The current LTS.
 I think it works in plasma 5.8 in backports ppa for 16.04?
[15:17] <KB5> Hello. 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.
[15:18] <KB5> Is there something I can do to resolve the issue?
[15:46] <BluesKaj> KB5, 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 Supplies
[15:48] <BluesKaj> oops uninterruptible
[15:55] <KB5> BluesKaj: UPS is recognized as a battery. To the OS there is no difference between UPS and internal battery.
[15:56] <KB5> Other than one being internal and the other external of course.
[15:59] <BluesKaj> it should be ,if anything be recognized as a power supply
[16:04] <BluesKaj> BBL...
[20:11] <kvuser6> hi!
[20:11] <kvuser6> I am trying to run kubuntu try mode on my laptop dell i15 7657 but it doesnt launch
[20:11] <kvuser6> i mean live usb try mode
[20:12] <kvuser6> if i press F7 during the kubuntu logo it ends up on a wallapeper with my cursor only, if i dont press i have nothing besides that logo loading forever
[20:12] <kvuser6> im unable to witch with ctrl+alt+fx
[20:13] <kvuser6> the only way is reboot with alt+print+REISUB
[20:13] <kvuser6> and that works
[20:13] <kvuser6> Anyone any hint? The same happened with the beta 1 and now im trying the beta 2
[20:13] <kvuser6> 18.04
[20:13] <valorie> kvuser6: did you verify the image?
[20:13] <valorie> !md5
[20:13] <kvuser6> is this a reported problem?
[20:14] <kvuser6> yeah i did
[20:14] <valorie> are you using the daily or the beta2?
[20:14] <kvuser6> i downloaded it twice and anyway
[20:14] <kvuser6> no the final beta2
[20:14] <valorie> ok, that's what I'm running as well
[20:14] <kvuser6> does your computer have a nvidia
[20:14] <valorie> yes
[20:14] <kvuser6> mine is a gtx 1050ti
[20:15] <kvuser6> I saw it was causing issues on 17.10
[20:15] <valorie> I suggest in the terminal: sudo apt install -f
[20:15] <kvuser6> I also tried a daily build and had the same problem
[20:15] <valorie> f=fix
[20:15] <kvuser6> I dont get that menu ~Try ubuntu/install ubuntu
[20:16] <kvuser6> I am unable to switch to any tty
[20:16] <kvuser6> nothing works
[20:16] <kvuser6> not even num lock on my keyboard
[20:16] <valorie> yikes
[20:16] <kvuser6> Should i report the bug
[20:16] <kvuser6> ?
[20:16] <valorie> pretty hard to file a bug when nothing works
[20:17] <valorie> you'll get no logs if you can't get to a terminal
[20:17] <kvuser6> yeah
[20:17] <kvuser6> i cant
 I recommend trying nomodeset....
[20:17] <valorie> !nomodeset
[20:17] <valorie> good idea, @DarinMiller
[20:18] <kvuser6> hm interesting
[20:18] <kvuser6> how do i use that to a live usb
 My Dell Inspiron 7559 requires nomodeset for install and boot until I install NVidia drivers.
 Which begs the question, which video driver.
[20:19] <kvuser6> oh i can set it on the usb stick grub file
[20:19] <kvuser6> i think mine is the same then
 errr.^^^ which video card do you have?
[20:20] <kvuser6> gtx 1050ti
[20:20] <kvuser6> nvidia
[20:21] <kvuser6> so if i edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on the usb stick that can get solved?
 Yep, my guess is nomodeset will be required.  If you go straight to install, nomodeset is not necessary
[20:22] <kvuser6> the only option i have is try kubuntu
 no, in the boot menu, with the numeric list, Hit the "e" key to edit the grub boot line.
[20:22] <kvuser6> and i realyl wanted to try it
[20:22] <kvuser6> but shouldnt it work if i manually add to the grub.cfg?
 It's a bit ambiguous to explain, but very easy once you have done it once.
[20:24] <kvuser6> okay ill try it
[20:24] <kvuser6> ill be back soon if it doesnt work
[20:24] <kvuser6> thanks!
 OK :)
[22:55] <deeno> I am having trouble obtaining locks with discover. I need startup disk creator. what is the package name?
