[06:39] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:54] <kobberholm> Morning
[07:12] <lordievader> Hey kobberholm
[09:57] <AlexCDev> Hi
[09:57] <AlexCDev> In Korganiser, when I try to create an event the calendar list is empty and I'm not sure why
[09:57] <AlexCDev> I have a local calendar + a google drive calendar (which I've removed and readded with no success)
[10:06] <BluesKaj> Hi Folks
[10:07] <AlexCDev> Hi BluesKaj
[10:07] <AlexCDev> How are you
[10:08] <BluesKaj> Hi AlexCDev, ok here, and you?
[10:37] <AlexCDev> Pretty good. Jumping back into some revision for exams so I'm going afk D:
[10:50] <daum> hi guys i'm on 17.10 with plasma 5.7.5, I did an upgrade yesterday and now when i login in, plasma starts but then once login finishes crashes, krunner still works, but the panel, desktop (ie right click on background) are all gone.  Starting up plasmashell has tons of these entries: kf5.kcoreaddons.desktopparser: Could not locate service type file kservicetypes5/plasma-popupapplet.desktop, tried ("/home/daum/.local/share", "/usr/share/usr/share/xsessions/pla
[10:50] <daum> sma", "/usr/local/share", "/usr/share", "/var/lib/snapd/desktop") and ":/kservicetypes5/plasma-popupapplet.desktop" any suggestions on how to fix that?
[10:54] <BluesKaj> daum, any ppas in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d? If so get rid of any non-google ppas...if you use ppas it's usually best to upgrade with them only once since they aren't kept up to date with dependencies as they should be.
[10:57] <daum> BluesKaj, just some for php/skype: https://dpaste.de/bYor .  that said the yakkety ones should probably be removed right?
[10:59] <BluesKaj> daum, it's hard to know which ones are causing the trouble, but certainly the non-google ppas are probly to blame
[10:59] <daum> ok i just remove the othe rfiles right?
[11:00] <lordievader> daum: You want to use the `ppa-purge` utility for that.
[11:00] <lordievader> That makes sure any packages installed from the ppa are downgraded/removed.
[11:02] <BluesKaj> daum, if you purge the ppas you'll have to reinstall chrome, but that shouldn't be a problem
[11:05] <daum> is there a way to just purge all of them in one command?
[11:05] <BluesKaj> !purge
[11:06] <BluesKaj> !ppa-purge
[11:06] <BluesKaj> daum,^
[11:07] <daum> ok thank you will look at it
[11:13] <daum> unfortunately i have to run out but will purge all the ppas later today and try to rerun
[11:14] <BluesKaj> daum, yes as lordievader said ppa-purge will restore your computer to a previous state that should work
[12:38] <elsafy> السلام عليكم
[16:33] <popey> hello. I am trying to install kubuntu 16.04.4 in virtualbox, but the live cd just boots to a plasma crash screen.
[16:36] <acheronuk> popey: oh? let me DL and try
[16:38] <popey> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/aghcdgE2/screenshot
[16:46] <acheronuk> popey: right. to be blunt. plasma 5.5 was very "crashy". 16.04 has had some fixes, but there is an expression about not being able to polish a t*rd
[16:48] <acheronuk> I just got it to boot ok. perhaps give it some more memory in the VM and video ram in the settings. older plasma was sensitive to that
[16:48] <popey> will try that! I gave it 4GB RAM and the default display memory. Thanks!
[16:51] <popey> hm. 8GB and full display ram and it still fails to start
[16:51] <acheronuk> I had 2GB system RAM and 128MB video
[16:53] <acheronuk> popey: https://i.imgur.com/uHggP3B.png
[16:56] <acheronuk> that is virtualbox 5.2.8 from virtualbox site
[17:02] <popey> hm, i'm using 5.2.8 from the ubuntu archive.
[17:04] <dubis> hello
[17:18] <popey> hm, tried 16.04.3 and 16.04.2 too. Same result. Hm. Will try on another machine.
[17:20] <acheronuk> that is weird.
[18:29] <Arthur_D> hi, in Settings -> Desktop Behaviour -> Screen Edges there's a checkbox saying "Tile windows by dragging them to the side of the screen" and under it says "Quarter tiling triggered in the outer 25% of the screen" and I can change the percentage. However when dragging windows around I don't get any tiling, what does it actually do?
[19:34] <hay207> Hi, how to set the cpu frequency of intel i7 cpu?
[19:57] <oerheks> hay207, install cpufrequtils, and follow a guide like https://askubuntu.com/questions/929884/how-to-set-performance-instead-of-powersave-as-default
[19:58] <oerheks> i wonder what you would gain, unless you want underclocking to save battery
[20:09] <nb255> Hello I need some help installing Kubuntu on my Toshiba NB255 please
[20:09] <nb255> I installed fine, but after removing the disk and restarting, the laptop does not boot
[20:10] <nb255> There are no errors, just a flashing cursor
[20:10] <nb255> any advice or guidance ?
[20:11] <keithzg> nb255: That seems like it might be trying to boot from the wrong device. It's probably the first thing you checked, but have you made sure that the BIOS/UEFI is set to try and boot from where you installed Kubuntu to?
[20:12] <nb255> I checked the BIOS and its set to boot from the HDD
[20:12] <nb255> i completely wiped the laptop so Kubuntu is occupying my whole disk too
[20:13] <genii> You might want to try nomodeset
[20:13] <genii> !nomodeset
[20:13] <nb255> let me check that now
[20:15] <hay207> I wanted powersave to lower cpu temp
[20:23] <valorie> hay207: I've found bionic to be very low power
[20:33] <genii> nb255: Any progress?
[20:40] <nb255> having a hard time
[20:41] <nb255> I read i could boot into a livecd and mount the disk/partitions i installed
[20:41] <nb255> then edit the grub setting
[20:42] <nb255> following this link http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
[20:43] <nb255> this instead : https://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu
[20:57] <nb255> @genii just updated it, first reboot and its still the same
[20:58] <nb255> genii: did yogurt that ?
[20:58] <daum> BluesKaj thanks so much it ended up being from before my upgrade i had the kde backports but had removed it, i added it back in then removed it and it fixed it all.
[21:00] <genii> nb255: Might be that you need to set a BIOS password, and then choose the grub.efi file from in there to be trusted and default boot
[21:00] <genii> ( many Acers are like this for example)
[21:03] <keithzg> Hmm I think it might be too old to actually be UEFI though? It *is* from 2010.
[21:04] <nb255> in the BIOS now, don't seem to see much of that there
[21:19] <keithzg> nb255: It's interesting that you can boot from the live CD but not your actual installation. If you load up the live CD and then choose the option on its initial options list to boot from the first hard drive, does that work?
[21:26] <nb255> I will try that in a sec. My changes are now forcing a MemTest. I will wait to see what happens when its done
[21:43] <valorie> perhaps grub needs updating?
[21:48] <nb255> I am stuck in a loop of MemTest
[21:50] <nb255> I booted with livecd and mounted the installed OS. chrooted into the new system and update the grub config to add "nomodetest" . installed/updated grub and i am now cycling on MemTest
[22:00] <valorie> you could have bad memory, nb255
[22:00] <valorie> it happens
[23:44] <mattfly> Sorry DarinMiller
[23:44] <mattfly> updating the kernel  did not fix sddm to me, the gpu drivers were disabled
[23:45] <mattfly> Is anyone experienced kubuntu 18.04 beta having some lagging behaviour? taking long to do things, seems like the animations are consuming way too much resources
[23:48] <genii> mattfly: #ubuntu+1 for all flavours of Bionic for support, until after official release date please
[23:49] <mattfly> no its just kubuntu
[23:49] <mattfly> oh okay gnome was laggy too
[23:49] <mattfly> okay
