[00:14] <walt> I am a 6 year Kubuntu User.  How do I begin to contribute here?
[00:14] <walt> Do I just stay on and try to answer questions?
[00:16] <patarok_> trying to run some bash scriptery at the end of /etc/bash.bashrc... it runs in a loop . why?
[00:18] <patarok_> walt: ping
[00:18] <walt> Without seeing your script I can't do much.
[00:19] <walt> I have done some bash scripting.  Mainly for backups
[03:23] <BionicMac> This may be a question better suited for #kde, but it has been a void in #kde. Has anyone experieced "auto-hide" for the panel just stop working?
[03:24] <BionicMac> I mean it is selected, when I reboot it works, for a while, then stops hiding.
[04:39] <newi3> New to IRC
[04:39] <newi3> I see on the #kubuntu channel many people signed in.
[05:52] <SzykCech> Is this posible to configure my Kubuntu to automount all shared drives from all hosts in my local area network?!?
[05:53] <walt> without first knowing what shares are available.  You mean search for broadcasts and connect to all?
[05:53] <walt> Without an fstab entry?
[05:54] <ricktimmis[m]> Good morning, yes that is possible, but must be done in /etc/fstab
[05:54] <walt> I thought so
[05:54] <ricktimmis[m]> Using auto directive
[05:54] <ricktimmis[m]> See man fstab from command line
[05:55] <walt> But you need to list each one.  fstab won't go looking and find ones that are not listed.
[05:56] <genii> Additionally, automounting network shares in fstab is not such a great idea if one or more are not always available
[05:57] <walt> yes.  can lockup your file manager everytime one disconnects
[05:58] <SzykCech> Yes. Not all machines are available all the time. But I want fully automated search and mounting with out manualy tuned /etc/fstab
[05:59] <walt> which kubuntu are you on
[05:59] <walt> There are other ways to automount network drives
[05:59] <SzykCech> 18.04
[06:00] <SzykCech> I must notice, that all hosts in local area network have IPs from DHCP so they IP can vary from one day to another...
[06:00] <ricktimmis[m]> How about scripting using mount, test the networks, then mount them, you could even use a systems wrapper
[06:00] <ricktimmis[m]> Bit more complex but doable
[06:01] <ricktimmis[m]> Forget it, on DHCP
[06:01] <walt> Definitely doable with a simple script.  Easier if you assign ips to all machines serving shares.
 there is great tool named autofs
 I would advise to llok into it
[06:02] <walt> If you know list of all IPs in DHCP you could have a script try to mount all of them with a short timeout.  It could then constantly cycle through them
[06:02] <genii> Conceivably some script can be made by parsing the output of nbtscan 192.168.0.0/24 ( or whatever your LAN range is) into the mount command
[06:02] <SzykCech> I think auto mount every shared disk is very common taks, so mabye is it covered by some article on the Internet?
[06:03] <walt> probably
[06:03] <walt> How many computers roughly
 I'm using it to mount my NAS share that is not always available
[06:03] <SzykCech> 2 besides mine...
[06:04] <walt> That ought to be straighforward.  Plus one to autofs
 In my Antergos installtion there is even script for this … /etc/autofs/auto.net
 And in Kubuntu it is /etc/auto.net
[06:07] <SzykCech> I don't konw DHCP as is Wi-Fi net governed by router. So probably I am forced to scan all 255 adreses from 192.168.8.0/24
[06:08] <SzykCech> I don't konw DHCP adresses as is Wi-Fi net governed by router. So probably I am forced to scan all 255 adreses from 192.168.8.0/24
[06:09] <genii> Are these other machines running Windows, or Linux?
[06:09] <walt> If you have access to the two pcs besides your own can you sent their ips to static.  I do that all the time.  I set a static on the high end of DHCP.  Router knows nothing and gives it that address every time.
[06:09] <SzykCech> One runs Windows 10, other Kubuntu 17.10.
[06:10] <walt> Pretty sure both can be configured for static ip addresses even within the range of DHCP
[06:10] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:10]  * genii slides lordievader a fresh coffee
[06:11] <SzykCech> I want avoid static IPs, because there can appear some other PCs like my brother laptop, or mobile phones.
[06:12] <lordievader> Thanks genii
[06:12] <genii> The better way is to use your dhcp server to always give a specific machine's MAC a specific IP
[06:12] <user|91649> is it cheaper
[06:13] <genii> Then you don't have to care what other things connect to it
[06:13] <lordievader> genii: +1 for the better way.
[06:13] <lordievader> Have a pool for known macs and another for unkown macs.
[06:15] <walt> I think he doesn't have access to the router giving out addresses.  If he does its super easy
[06:16] <user|91649> its hard for me
[06:16] <SzykCech> I don't think my router shares any data in some reasonable way...
[06:17] <user|91649> on my Dolphin how do I remove the 'Recently Saved' on the left side?
[06:17] <user|91649> I don't want my latest saved porn to show up there
[06:22] <walt> I think you can hide it in the right click menu.  But not permanently remove it.
[06:23] <walt> In the config file for dolphin you may be able to permanently remove it.
[06:36] <nlsthzn> funky thing happening, installed pulseaudio:i386 for a wine-wrapped game, but it then uninstalled pulseaudio (64-bit) and when re-installing pulseaudio it removes pulseaudio:i386... ?
[06:42] <walt> What version of kubuntu are you on
[06:42] <walt> Do you have multiarch installed.  I suppose you do if you have wine installed.
[06:42] <nlsthzn> 18.04
[06:43] <nlsthzn> just run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 to ensure and still the same issue
[06:44] <nlsthzn> but if memory serves the same thing happened in ubuntu 18.04 beta
[06:44] <walt> OK.  I don't have my kubuntu machines on 18.04 yet.  Must be a dependency.  I am sure that you can run most everything with the i386 version.
[06:46] <nlsthzn> nope no sound in kubuntu if I reboot after installing the 32-bit version... have to re-install 64-bit and reboot
[06:46] <nlsthzn> or re-start sound sub system which I don't know how to :p
[06:47] <walt> Well done trying
[06:48] <walt> I thought you could have both installed.
[06:48] <nlsthzn> me too : / it was possible
[06:53] <walt> What about installing another sound server for the game.  Install only the 32bit version of that one.
[06:53] <walt> Just a guess
[07:00] <lordievader> nlsthzn: Restarting pulseaudio is as simple as issueing `pulseaudio -k`, per default it respawns.
[07:02] <nlsthzn> lordievader: ah ok... will save me to reboot after having installed the 32-but version to play and having to reboot again
[07:03] <nlsthzn> still not solving the actual issue
[07:04] <lordievader> What is the actual issue? No sound?
[07:07] <nlsthzn> with 64 bit pulse installed I have audio in kubuntu. when I want sound in wine-wrapped game I first have to install pulseaudio:i386. then it works but it un-instals 64-bit version of pulseaudio. sound works fine until a reboot then kde has no sound.
[07:07] <nlsthzn> then I re-install 64-bit version and reboot and have sound
[07:07] <nlsthzn> but re-installing 64bit version uninstalls 32-bit version again
[07:07] <nlsthzn> can't have both installed at same time
[07:07] <nlsthzn> which is odd
[07:15] <lordievader> Their libraries probably conflict with eachother. The rest of the system is probably build against the 64bit version, which would explain why it works until a reboot.
[07:15] <lordievader> You can't let wine do ALSA instead?
[07:15] <walt> or Jack?
[07:16] <nlsthzn> lordievader: above my pay grade... I just know that if pulseI386  is installed I can play and hear sound :p (this is a custom wine-wrapper,  I don't have wine from repo's installed
[07:18] <lordievader> Hmm, how do you install it?
[07:18] <walt> It could be that winehq-stable from the repo can use the 64bit version in 32bit games?
[07:18] <walt> From the wine official ppa that is.
[07:31] <nlsthzn> well in various distro's there was no issue... so far only in ()ubuntu 18.04. arch bases distro's no issues.
[07:31] <nlsthzn> oh well
[07:32] <nlsthzn> minor inconvenience
[07:32] <nlsthzn> just have to write a scipt to install 32-bit launch game and then on exit install 64 bit
[07:33] <nlsthzn> unlimted cap at the moment so not an issue
[08:02] <nlsthzn> >.< stupid question. installed gimp and saw it is 2.8.22. used flatpack to install gimp 2.10. so I can launch gimp 2.8.22 but not sure where and how to run gimp 2.10
[08:03] <diogenes_> nlsthzn, afaik flatpaks store their stuff in /var/lib/flatpak******
[08:03] <diogenes_> so look there
[08:06] <nlsthzn> found the files diogenes_ thanks
[08:06] <diogenes_> yw
[08:06] <nlsthzn> can't seem to do much with them .... trying to run the file gives me bash: ./gimp-2.10: No such file or directory
[08:07] <nlsthzn> I have no experience with flatpaks... only messes with snaps a bit before
[08:07] <diogenes_> nope nope tthey have a different way to launch their applications
[08:07]  * nlsthzn does le google
[08:09] <nlsthzn> for great success \ o/
[08:09] <diogenes_> nlsthzn, try this: flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
[08:09] <nlsthzn> thanks diogenes_that is what I did ^_^
[08:09] <diogenes_> good :)
[08:10] <nlsthzn> and off course the icons are huge... none of these container type things seem to have figures out how to get the interfaces to allign with the underlaying systems
[08:10] <diogenes_> try to close and re-open
[08:12] <nlsthzn> same...
[08:12] <nlsthzn> then again I have had issues with dpi etc. on my set-up for years
[08:12] <nlsthzn> gnome seems to work better than KDE...
[08:13] <nlsthzn> but mostly sorted out now. except for this
[08:25] <nlsthzn> well that is odd... now sound works without pusle i386 installed >.<
[08:25] <nlsthzn> oh well ... lets go!
[11:23] <otomo> I finally solved my problem with Nvidia, thanks to devtalk nvidia forum member Generix: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1033140/linux/kubuntu-18-04-gives-black-screen-when-sddm-starts-no-login-/?offset=12#5256783
[11:24] <otomo> thanks to all the people here that tried to help too
[11:26] <otomo> hope that info is usefull to anyone that have the same problem (18.04 upgraded with nvidia in a optimus laptop)

[13:08] <astrodn> Sometimes my track pad scrolling stops working. Does anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
[13:47] <hateball> astrodn: and you're not typing?
[13:47] <hateball> as touchpad should stop responding while you type
[14:19] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[14:23] <astrodn> hateball: No, I am not typing when it happens. The trackpad seems to randomly stop reading only the scroll function.
[16:35] <kenneth> need help
[16:37] <kenneth> is there no one out there
[16:47] <nlsthzn-also> I guess the legendary 3 minute turnaround time on IRC was a lie :'(
[16:50] <BluesKaj> the instant gratification generation
[16:58] <nlsthzn-also> Oh I am very guilty of it myself (but I am not of this generation :p) - It seems to have happened due to this generation perhaps. But it is bad.
[17:06] <nilos> Hi, pkease help

[18:35] <jbracker> Hi, I have problem with my microphone in kubuntu. 1. On boot it is not detected. I have to replug it once done with booting. 2. Most of the time (not every time) when I try to use it it just record garbage that sounds as if it is recording to fast.
[18:35] <jbracker> Can anybody help me with this?
[18:36] <jbracker> I tried 2.5.1 to 2.5.5 of this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Static_noise_in_microphone_recording ; but that did not change anything
[18:39] <jbracker> I can't find any help on this online
[18:49] <jbracker> Help, please?
[19:19] <GaiusArelius> Hello, I am new to Kubuntu and KDE plasma.  I am having an issue on two different installs where my window decorations dissapear, I can't switch applications or open new ones, and switching virtual destops doesn't work.  Going through journald doesn't show any errors.  If I use the hamburger in the top right, I can logout and log back in and everything is working again.  Any ideas where to look for what is the cause or what the issue
[19:19] <GaiusArelius> might be?
[19:20] <genii> GaiusArelius: Sometimes this happens if the machine is rebooted instead of powered off/on again
[19:21] <genii> I'm not sure if there's some permanent fix, but this also happens to me on occasion. I usually just restart the windows manager and it works the second time
[19:23] <GaiusArelius> gengii: Thanks. How are you restarting the window manager?  Logging out and back in fixes it, but it usually happens again within an hour.
[19:25] <genii> GaiusArelius: In my case I use ctrl-alt-F1 and log in to command line and then issue: sudo service lightdm restart     ... but you are likely using sddm instead of lightdm
[19:29] <GaiusArelius> gengii:  Thanks.  I will try that.  I hope it helps.  This is happeing at least once every couple hours.
[19:30] <GaiusArelius> I am really liking KDE, but restarting my sessions every hour or so is not fun.
[19:35] <ktecho> Hey there. Does anyone knows of a way to update to latest kde released software in kubuntu 18.04? I mean Kde Apps 18.04 and others. Is there a ppa or something?
[19:36] <ktecho> Somebody asked me why I wanted to update to that. The reason is because they're fixing bugs and adding new functionality and it would be nice to have it
[20:44] <nlsthzn-also> ktecho well there will be some more up to date software later in the backports
[20:44] <nlsthzn-also> you could also look for
[20:44] <nlsthzn-also> PPA's for your fave applications and add them to get them up to date
[20:44] <nlsthzn-also> but please note if you break your install you get to keep both pieces
[21:33] <ktecho> nlsthzn-also: yeah, I don't care if something breaks. But would be nice to have that backports. Last time I looked for kubuntu backports it was only for 17.10
[21:37] <genii> There can only be a backports when there is a release above the one you're currently using, and Cosmic isn't at the point where backports are being done from it yet to previous versions
[21:53] <ktecho> genii: yeah, it makes sense. But then how is new kde software released for a current release of kubuntu?
[21:53] <ktecho> maybe it won't happen?
[22:01] <genii> ktecho: KDE release schedule and Kubuntu release schedules do not coincide. So usually the KDE version which comes with a Kubuntu release is whichever one was last released before final freeze of the *buntu release schedule. Other updates and versions are provided after initial release, first in the  official Kubuntu PPAs and then migrated to the main Ubuntu repositories
[22:02] <nlsthzn-also> ktecho Cosmic Cuttlefish is under development and it will have the latest (or close) to of all software, but it will break hard and often as it is being worked on. LTS releases don't want this. You could try KDE Neon but that too comes with caveates
[22:02] <nlsthzn-also> ninja'd by genii :p
[22:03]  * genii slides nlsthzn-also a fresh mug of tasty Arabica!
[22:04] <keithzg> Hmmm I wonder why every Yakuake theme in GNHS gives me a "The following skin is missing required files." error
[22:05] <nlsthzn-also> *stares* at tea ... *stares* at IRC coffee. Choices-choices
[22:06] <ktecho> genii: official kubuntu ppas
[22:06] <ktecho> that is what i was looking for
[22:06] <ktecho> thanks!
[22:06] <genii> ktecho: From this page, the safe PPAs to add to your system are Backports and Updates https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa  The developers occasionally make a call for testing things in the other more volatile ones there like Experimental
[22:07] <genii> ( or Backports Landing, etc )
[22:07] <ktecho> genii: thanks!
[22:08] <genii> ktecho: Glad to assist
[22:14] <ktecho> :)
[22:36] <MorganQuaiche> hey guys its me
[22:37] <MorganQuaiche> on Dolphin, is it possible to move the "Find" thingy on toolbar to the right
[22:37] <MorganQuaiche> for some reason i can't put anything to the right side of "Control" button (on the toolbar)
[22:48] <MorganQuaiche> hay
[23:11] <schnoodles> Since moving to 18.04 my touchpad tap does not work as a client function and I cant seem to find any option in settings to re-enable it. Has anyone run into this problem ?
