mattflywhy is the discover app using so much cpu?03:48
Fire-Dragon-DoLsigh I keep getting KWIN crashing, almost randomly, repeatedly during the day :(03:54
mattflyand im not able to install snapds from the discover app since it is not passing the --classic argument03:54
Fire-Dragon-DoLany idea where to look for? It might be related to virtual desktops and swapping fast03:54
Fire-Dragon-DoLand URGH it just crashed again...03:54
mattflyand it asks for classic confinement03:54
valoriehmmm, sounds like something snap related is missing04:19
valorieplease file a bug with .......hmmm, LP I guess04:19
valoriebest way is `ubuntu-bug discover`04:19
valoriediscover works very well for me, but I've never tried to install a snap using it04:20

Guest72764Hi I am using Kubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Inspiron 7759 with proprietary nvidia drivers. It was working well with kernel 4.15.0.20 but after I upgraded it to 4.15.0.22 it started to freeze occasionally right after the boot. Couldn't find anything in google. Anyone having similar issues ?05:50
hateballGuest72764: I can only say I am running nvidia blob + 18.04 and have no issues. I am using 396 beta from PPA05:54
hateballThis is on a desktop machine, no optimus involved05:54
diogenes_Guest72764, why not nouveau?05:56
diogenes_nouveau is much better05:56
Guest72764Now I removed 22 kernel and returned back to 20 kernel and everything is back to normal05:57
lordievaderGood morning05:57
diogenes_morning05:58
Guest72764with nouveau even the installation was not possible I had to disable modeset during installation and installed nvidia drivers immediately afterwards05:58
batteronizerHi what's the use of the Twitter account type and YouTube under Google account type in 18.04's online accounts?09:15
chan201@batteronizer wait, What? What you are talking about?09:34
mparillo_batteronizer: If I understand it correctly, once you set your google account type, you can use kio-gdrive to access your google drive using Dolphin. You may also be able to associate Google mail and calendar entries with other KDE s/w, but I have not tried it.09:53
batteronizermparillo_: I'm not asking about it. I'm asking about the YouTube and Twitter options specifically.09:54
batteronizerSadly the Help manual has no entry for online accounts, and it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere else.09:55
mparillo_Sorrry, the only thing I have tested is kio-gdrive.09:55
batteronizerYeah, I've used gdrive and pim, which is pretty cool.09:56

Guest22966I need to get notifications...13:03
Guest22966some help please?13:03
BluesKajwebmail clients likr gmail work well and thunderbird too. Kmail is for users who need large email databases IMO13:08
R13oseGuest22966: there is no best just use the one you feel is best13:08
Guest22966I asked because some of them dont use notifications properly13:09
Guest22966Thats what i need notifications13:09
Guest22966and i asked if some of you have try something that work well with notifications13:09

BluesKajGuest22966,  np13:14
AbrecusGuest22966: I am new to Kubuntu as well, and as a long time Thunderbird user that is what I am using. It notifies with a popup when a new message arrives, but doesn't have a tray icon.  If you miss the popup you won't know you have new mail.13:14
BluesKajkmail setup can be daunting to new users13:15

orlando_Hello guys here again13:44
orlando_I had to uninstall Kmail, I didnt like it13:45
lordievaderR13ose: ssh?13:45
geniiR13ose: If both machines are on the same network and running linux, use scp13:45
BluesKajkmail is mainly for office users who need to keep an an email archive/database of thousands13:46
R13oseI have used SCP before but I wasn't sure if that was through the internet or not.13:46
orlando_ok13:46
lordievaderR13ose: That depends on how you issue it.13:46
orlando_Im like goint to used another one and try13:46
orlando_some of you have used microsoft office in Kubuntu?13:47
lordievaderR13ose: Scp doesn't care if it is one hop to the next pc or 10 hops to the other end of the world.13:47
BluesKajscp copies from one pc to another on your lan or ssh toanothe pc/server on the internet13:47
R13oseYes but what are the settings for using non internet way?13:48
geniiR13ose: For scp, just make sure you have openssh-server installed on whichever machine you're trying to reach13:48
BluesKajgenii, yes, good point13:48
genii( since it uses ssh/sshd underneath )13:48
geniiThen just use it's LAN IP from another machine on the same network to pull or put files13:49
R13osegenii: how do I know this is lan ip instead of internet ip?13:51
orlando_some of you have used microsoft office in Kubuntu?13:51
orlando_which one to install  or ?13:51
geniiR13ose: Use either the ip command or ifconfig if you have net-tools installed to find out the IP of the machine you're trying to reach ( on the actual machine you're trying to reach). Or you might have set a specific IP to be assigned to specific MAC addresses in your router, if so then use whichever one you set it to be in that case13:54
lordievaderR13ose: LAN ip's are typically in private IP ranges like `192.168.0.0/16` or `10.0.0.0/8`.13:54
R13oselordievader: what are internet ips?  I get confused sometimes.13:55
R13osegenii: thanks.  I remember that13:55
lordievaderEssentially anything which is publicly routable. I.e. in non-private ranges.13:56
lordievaderR13ose: Normally you don't have to worry about that. Simply follow genii 's advice.13:57
geniiR13ose: If the IP is in one of these ranges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network#Private_IPv4_address_spaces then it's an internal LAN IP number. Any other kind of range is it's external internet IP, but this is not usually the case if you have a router13:57
geniiIt will usually have only a normal LAN number and the router handles traffic between the internet and it's internal IP13:58
R13oseThanks everyone I get this now13:58
geniiIf the number starts with 169.254.  then it's a different thing meaning it tried to find a valid number, but didn't13:58
mattflywhat is the name of the protocol an aplication has to have so that  KDE plasma can restore the sessions? It starts with X*** ???14:00
geniiorlando_: There is no MS Office in Linux. To read or write Office documents, use LibreOffice Writer14:00
orlando_I now man, i mean using wine14:01
geniiorlando_: It can load Office documentsw from the file manager, if you want them to be saved that way also, use the "Export as" when you save them and choose whatever Word format14:01
orlando_using wine what the best option to install i have 2010 and 2013 options.14:02
geniiLO Writer can read and write Office 2013 formats14:03
genii( and later versions with MS docx format up to Office 201714:03
geniiBut if you're determined to try installing and running it in WINE, check their app compatibility database14:04
genii!appdb| orlando_14:04
ubottuorlando_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help14:04

skomorokhCTRL-ALT-F1 (or F4, or Fx) is not getting me to a VT on a fresh install of Kubuntu. I tried uncommenting the NAutoVTs=6 line in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to no effect18:35

=== xeon is now known as Xeon-guy
xeon-guyHello guys. I have a problem. Whenever I restart Windows to log in to Kubuntu I find that Windows did not actually end my session on Windows. So whenever I boot back to Windows it looks like I logged off with all the programs I had open still there22:22
xeon-guyThat's too many windows :P22:22
geniixeon-guy: Turn off hibernation https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/920730/how-to-disable-and-re-enable-hibernation-on-a-computer-that-is-running22:24
xeon-guyGenii: so when I restart I won't find my laptop on the same session?22:25
geniiThis will also have the benefit of allowing you to mount your Windows partitons under linux without needing to boot back into Windows to run CHKDSK22:25
geniixeon-guy: That should be the idea, yes22:25
xeon-guyThank you man22:25
xeon-guyYou're a life saver22:25
geniiGlad to assist22:26
xeon-guyI remember enabling hibernation on my laptop22:27
xeon-guyI guess that's why22:27
geniiWhen it's on, it makes a hiberfil.sys that has all the things that were running and re-opens it all again. Also the hiberfil.sys existence is checked by linux when mounting is tried, if it is there, mount will fail because file system is in an inconsistent state22:29
xeon-guyYou mean mounting of the Windows partition?22:32
xeon-guyBecause linux works just fine. Only had this issue with M$ Windows22:35
xeon-guyYay it worked22:36
xeon-guy Yeah he meant mounting of Windows partition22:39
