| timmybee | Hi everyone | 05:06 |
| timmybee | Trying to remove the space above the firefox tabs. Ive tried creating a userChome.css and adding some settings in the there however this doesnt seem to work | 05:07 |
| onlyabyte | Hey guys, how do you find Kubuntu 18.04 LTS? | 06:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, What do you mean? | 06:25 |
| onlyabyte | I'm planning on using it but I have one question about KDE on it. Will it stay on 5.12 LTS but still get the other updates eg: 5.12.5 LTS etc. | 06:25 |
| onlyabyte | ie: bug fixes | 06:26 |
| onlyabyte | I'm in love with KDE so I want to use something stable where I can get high uptime :) | 06:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, I'm pretty sure it will update | 06:26 |
| onlyabyte | Debian is too old so Kubuntu LTS is the best candidate | 06:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, I mean, it's the same as Ubuntu, Gnome was just updated to 3.28.2 | 06:27 |
| onlyabyte | Oh goodie! | 06:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, Debian has KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS | 06:27 |
| onlyabyte | I doubt Ubuntu 18.04 would get 3.30 though | 06:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, Yeah, that will be up for 18.10 | 06:27 |
| onlyabyte | I'm sick of GNOME, ugh. | 06:27 |
| onlyabyte | Been using it for so long and I put KDE on my system just to test and boy oh boy, is it fast! | 06:28 |
| acheronuk | 5.12.5 is in our updates PPA for the impatient to get it, but is also currently in testing for updates via the main archive | 06:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, Yeah, Plasma has freaking improved | 06:28 |
| onlyabyte | I'm not very impatient. Just curious, will the LTS stay on LTS KDE? | 06:28 |
| onlyabyte | I prefer stability :) | 06:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, AFAIK yes, until the next LTS | 06:29 |
| onlyabyte | Yay! | 06:29 |
| acheronuk | onlyabyte: for archive or our updates ppa, yes | 06:29 |
| onlyabyte | 5.12 is already so good (right now on Fedora) | 06:29 |
| onlyabyte | Oh okay, so if I wanted updates, I would need your official PPA? | 06:29 |
| onlyabyte | Or is it unofficial (ie: not from Kubuntu) | 06:29 |
| acheronuk | https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs | 06:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, IK there is the Kubuntu official ppa for backports | 06:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @onlyabyte, Yeah, I think it's official | 06:30 |
| onlyabyte | That's awesome! | 06:31 |
| acheronuk | Kubuntu updates PPA = updates we intend to try to get into the archive eventually | 06:31 |
| onlyabyte | I cannot wait to switch over to Kubuntu LTS! | 06:31 |
| onlyabyte | I see... | 06:31 |
| acheronuk | Kubuntu backports PPA = backports of much new things we probably won't for 18.04 | 06:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @acheronuk, Here: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa | 06:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> @ccarguelo, Correct for the updates one | 06:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> @acheronuk, This one? … https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=bionic | 06:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> Ups, sent it filtered | 06:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> Sorry, yes. That is the 'updates' one | 06:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ccarguelo> Great, isn't that ppa aded by default on Kubuntu? | 06:36 |
| onlyabyte | acheronuk: How would you comment on the stability of Kubuntu 18.04? Would you say KDE and Ubuntu is no longer known as the "unstable" distro? | 06:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> @ccarguelo, No. It's officailly ours, and the packages are basically what we intend to ship as real archive updates, but we can't have PPAs enabled by default. Ubuntu policy. Which I do agree with. | 06:39 |
| onlyabyte | I'll be back, going to migrate to Kubuntu! | 06:40 |

| batteronizer | Hi, sometimes when I change brightness using the function keys on my laptop, the brightness changes accordingly but within a few moments reverts to what it was before my adjustment. | 07:58 |
| batteronizer | I use Kubuntu 18.04. And for my fellow countryme, that's the correct usage of the word "revert". | 07:59 |
| batteronizer | *countrymen | 07:59 |
| obert | but how to upgrade to kubuntu 18? lsb_release wasn't enough to checkk for a new version? | 08:18 |
| === viv`d is now known as vivid | ||
| batteronizer | obert: what is your current version? | 08:47 |
| batteronizer | upgrade to 18.04 from 16.04 would be available after 18.04.1, around July | 08:48 |
| obert | batteronizer: 17 | 08:48 |
| batteronizer | obert: 17 what? | 08:49 |
| obert | 17.94 I guess | 08:49 |
| obert | 04 | 08:49 |
| obert | the lts one | 08:49 |
| batteronizer | What do you mean guess? Check | 08:49 |
| obert | how to check it then? I don't remember the command | 08:49 |
| batteronizer | Use google | 08:49 |
| obert | ... | 08:50 |
| obert | Ubuntu 17.10 \n \l | 08:50 |

| obert | anyway an answer like 'use google' in a chat where people should be glad to talk it is a bit ridiculous | 08:52 |
| obert | thanks | 08:53 |
| batteronizer | obert: What's ridiculous is saying "I guess" when you want help and not putting effort to look for a simple command. | 08:54 |
| obert | batteronizer: it is easier to paste the right command without let people getting mad on find infos in the whole web | 08:58 |
| obert | especially if someone got a slow internet | 08:59 |
| batteronizer | obert: It's easier for someone helping you if you don't say things like "I guess" | 08:59 |
| onlyabyte | Hi all! | 09:00 |
| onlyabyte | I'm loving Kubuntu 18.04! :D | 09:00 |
| onlyabyte | Finally, I've found the right distro for me. | 09:00 |
| onlyabyte | Just wanted to say thank you to the people who contributed to this distribution. It's superb! | 09:01 |
| acheronuk | onlyabyte: great to hear :) | 09:20 |
| ktecho | Yeah, kubuntu is amazing :) | 09:27 |

| R13ose | I am getting this error when I test disc for defects on live usb: check finished: errors found in 2 files. How do I fix this? | 21:23 |
| skomorokh | Upgraded 17.10->18.04, all worked out well except one thing: my favourites disappeared and when I add some back, log out and back in again... they're gone once more. | 21:34 |
| skomorokh | Is that a familiar situation to anyone? Any hints where I might look? | 21:35 |
| valorie | skomorokh: | 21:45 |
| valorie | you might have some permissions problems which means your favs are not being saved properly | 21:46 |
| valorie | perhaps from running a gui app as root | 21:46 |
| valorie | you might have to chmod $HOME to fix | 21:50 |
| skomorokh | valorie: Hm, it was just working on 17.10, pretty sure the upgrade wouldn't have changed the perms. Any idea which file holds the favs so I can check it? | 21:55 |
| valorie | it would be in ~/.local or ~/.config | 21:56 |
| skomorokh | But like... .config/k-button-thingy? | 21:56 |
| valorie | perms are just a few bits, so they do sometimes mess up because..... the world is imperfect | 21:57 |
| R13ose | Any thoughts on my question? | 21:57 |
| valorie | I don't know which one, but those are just text files | 21:57 |
| valorie | you can read 'em | 21:57 |
| skomorokh | valorie: Heh, there's rather a few to read through. | 21:58 |
| valorie | R13ose: I was a bit unclear on whether the problem was in your install, or on your USB | 21:58 |
| valorie | skomorokh: sure, but most are obviously not what you need | 21:58 |
| valorie | people in #kde might know more | 21:58 |
| R13ose | valorie: I am not sure what the defect checks but I am hoping is on my HDD. The HDD can't get through the full bootup as it get stuck but unsure why. | 21:59 |
| valorie | R13ose: `sudo apt install -f` | 22:00 |
| valorie | where f=fix | 22:00 |
| valorie | should reinstall anything messed | 22:00 |
| R13ose | valorie: will that delete files? I am using the try kubuntu on the live usb | 22:00 |
| valorie | oh | 22:01 |
| valorie | hmmm | 22:01 |
| valorie | so not an install | 22:01 |
| valorie | do you have any other computers to try that USB on? | 22:01 |
| valorie | I would hesitate to advise going ahead if you aren't even booting up on the live USB | 22:02 |
| R13ose | valorie: meaning? | 22:02 |
| R13ose | I have another computer | 22:03 |
| valorie | I would try it there and see what happens | 22:03 |
| valorie | I don't have the expertise to give you more advice I'm afraid | 22:03 |
| R13ose | I tried fsck but still problems | 22:04 |
| R13ose | valorie: I am using the live usb | 22:06 |
| valorie | R13ose: I would make a backup of that HDD right now | 22:07 |
| valorie | how old is it? | 22:07 |
| * valorie has lost 3 HDs or SSDs in the past few months | 22:07 | |
| valorie | one literally right after I made a full backup | 22:07 |
| R13ose | valorie: I did make a backup | 22:08 |
| valorie | good | 22:08 |
| valorie | IMO it is time to order a replacement | 22:08 |
| valorie | I mean, there are programs that will lock out badblocks | 22:08 |
| valorie | but that just tides you over until the new one arrives IMO | 22:08 |
| R13ose | How can this be done if I get to kubuntu screen and the boot locks after awhile on that screen | 22:10 |
| valorie | I think bad blocks runs in the commandline | 22:11 |

| xponent | I am using a System 76 laptop which has just a trackpad with no left or right buttons; just left or right click on the trackpad itself. There is no functionally for right click. | 22:27 |
| valorie | xponent: i'm using s sys76 as well - right click works fine for me | 22:28 |
| valorie | even using both works as middle-click | 22:28 |
| valorie | Sysinfo for 'valorie-Oryx-Pro': Running inside KDE Plasma 5.12.5 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) powered by Linux 4.15.0-20-generic, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz at 3346-3389/3800 MHz, RAM: 31762/32119 MB, Storage: 279/1144 GB, 279 procs, 620.41h up | 22:29 |
| valorie | when you say "no functionality" what do you mean? | 22:29 |
| xponent | When I place the cursor on the wallpaper, right click on trackpad does not open a menu. | 22:32 |
| valorie | :( | 22:33 |
| valorie | works for me | 22:33 |
| valorie | did that work in popOS or whatever was installed when you got it? | 22:33 |
| valorie | I guess it would be pop or ubuntu | 22:34 |
| acheronuk | they quit | 22:34 |
| valorie | :( | 22:36 |
| valorie | I wonder why people do that | 22:36 |
| acheronuk | perhaps they had turned off the right click on desktop action? that is possible in 'mouse actions' but right click would stay functional everywhere else | 22:36 |
| * acheronuk shrugs | 22:37 | |
| valorie | seems a bit crazy to do that, unless you have kids who mess with your laptop or so | 22:37 |
| valorie | cats | 22:37 |
| valorie | :-) | 22:37 |
| acheronuk | someone on here the other day had their toddler press the PC power button in the middle of a 17.10 to 18.04 upgrade! | 22:38 |
| valorie | ouch! | 22:39 |
