 Hello, I have a quick question.  I noticed backports are enabled by default on Kubuntu 18.04.  I understand Kubuntu is moving to Plasma 5.13 soon via backports. … If I disable the backport repo will I continue to get point updates to 5.12 LTS?  I have a machine I'd like to keep very stable on the LTS is appealing to me.  Thanks!
[01:50] <punkgeek> Hello guys, sorru what can i do with this error:
[01:50] <punkgeek> org.kde.kcoreaddons: Error loading plugin "kcm_lookandfeel" "The shared library was not found."
[04:40] <geekdeedy> hello everyone
[05:30] <user|48590> hello
[06:34] <fred_munch> gday every1. :)
[10:30] <user|50774> Hi there!
[10:31] <user|50774> How can I add a new language for keyboard with english to be 2 languages
[10:31] <user|50774> ??
[10:32] <user|50774> Guys, coutd you help me?
[10:32] <user|50774> could you help me?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[12:59] <Roey> BluesKaj: heya!
[13:06] <BluesKaj> hi Roey
[13:06] <Roey> hihi!!
[13:06] <Roey> So I had opened up systemsettings5, and saw that there was nothing to Apply
[13:07] <Roey> i.e. out of the three choices (commercial driver, latest driver in kubuntu, nouveau) it was already on "latest driver"
[13:07] <Roey> BluesKaj: when I try to do apt-get --reinstall nvidia-384 (over nvidia-390), it still didnt' build the kernel module
[13:07] <Roey> or install it
[13:07] <Roey> I was thinking apt-get --purge nvidia-384 and --purge nvidia-390, then to install 384.
[13:07] <Roey> but this is shooting from the hip
[13:08] <Roey> what I need to know is why it's not placing that kernel module there.
[13:09] <BluesKaj> Roey:  just try removing the 390 driver, don't purge is necessary
[13:09] <BluesKaj> don't think
[13:10] <Roey> I've already removed it.
[13:10] <Roey> then I do "locate nvidia.ko" and get this:
[13:10] <Roey> /lib/modules/4.15.0-20-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.k
[13:11] <Roey> /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
[13:11] <Roey> and those are the only two locations.
[13:11] <Roey> and my kernel is:
[13:11] <Roey> Linux gear 4.15.0-23-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 18:02:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[13:11] <Roey> so it is 4.15.0-23-generic, not 4.15.0-20-generic.
[13:14] <BluesKaj> are you running 18.04 ?
[13:17] <Roey> erm
[13:17] <Roey> yes
[13:17] <Roey> yes I am.
[13:18] <BluesKaj> Roey:  I'm on 18.10 Cosmix so I'm not sure what the latestkernel is on Bionic
[13:18] <Roey> I didn't realize 18.10 is out
[13:18] <BluesKaj> err Cosmic
[13:19] <BluesKaj> I'm a Kubuntu tester so I'm usually running dev OSs
[13:19] <Roey> ohhhh okay then.
[13:19] <Roey> BluesKaj: well mine is 4.15.0-23-generic, as I said
[13:19] <BluesKaj> ok, BRB , gonna check my kernel on bionic
[13:19] <Roey> k
[13:24] <BluesKaj> yup, it's the 4.15.0-23-generic.
[13:25] <BluesKaj> nothing unusual there, what's uname -a giving you
[13:31] <BluesKaj> ok, now just go into system-settings as a user not root , so use the kmenu and system-settings>driver manager . It scans your HW and shows which gpu driver is recommended. I know this sounds repetitious, but it works
[14:12] <jens_> hallo
[14:28] <|SzykCech|> I have question (after failed with googling): Is Kubuntu 18.04 30bit colour depth?!? I am wonder if I get any benefit buing Radeon Pro instead some dirty cheap card...
[14:28] <|SzykCech|> I have question (after failed with googling): Is Kubuntu 18.04 30bit colour depth ready?!? I am wonder if I get any benefit buing Radeon Pro instead some dirty cheap card...
[14:30] <Elw3> I doubt the os matters here.
[14:42] <Roey> BluesKaj: I've done that though
[14:42] <Roey> as non root
[14:42] <skorlupka> Elw3: I think he doesn't need advanced video card because he won't be able to force it work anyway. You know, tearing and so on
[14:42] <Roey> this is just the behavior I see, what I wrote above
[14:47] <Elw3> Ive never heard of 30bit srceens actually.
[15:10] <Elw3> Is a rar program not part of a mint install?
[15:18] <oerheks> rar is an archive, not used by mint or other not-really-ubuntu
[15:19] <Elw3> "fresh" not _mint_
[15:19] <oerheks> it is pop. software, paid, so not suitable for opensource
[15:20] <Elw3> I see. I thought the file is broken upon reading unable to open.
[15:21] <oerheks> you need the unrar util to open it.
[15:22] <Elw3> Wasnt there an unrar-free package at some point?
[16:03] <Elw3> Urhg the network usage icon does not work.
[16:04] <Elw3> And i cant find any theme/iconset that does not look like shit.
[17:43] <_jam> when I click on the "add widgets" control, nothing happens. and i've managed to lose my task manager and system tray on 18.04
[17:43] <_jam> not seeing any known bugs about this
[17:45] <_jam> it's kinda making things unusable for me
[17:54] <diogenes_> _jam, fresh install?
[17:54] <_jam> no
[17:55] <diogenes_> so since when u got the issue?
[17:55] <_jam> and happened after getting hit by this i think https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1774950
[17:56] <_jam> file corruption possible?
 @_jam, I suggest renaming ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.
 That file sometimes is corrupted during upgrades and cause strange desktop behavior.
[17:57] <diogenes_> ohhh the suspend can do a lot of harm, it damaged a chip on my laptop so since then i never again use suspend
[17:58] <diogenes_> i won't suggest suspend anyway, shutdown only
[17:59] <_jam> DarinMiller, ok that seems like a reasonable approach
[17:59] <_jam> yea, suspend shouldn't damage hardware, that seems like bad advice
[18:00] <_jam> I suspect I need to log out, do this, then log back in. so let me do that. will be back in a minute
 👍🏼
[18:02] <_jam> DarinMiller: that seems to have worked, THANK!
[18:02] <_jam> S
 good to hear. :)
[18:03] <_jam> I assumed it was some corrupt file, but hell if I knew which one
 Yes, it took me awhile to find it also...
[18:04] <_jam> going to try restoring from a backup and see how that goes. then it's time to get back in to the office :/
[18:07] <_jam> and this is why backups were invented. everything restored to normal
[22:30] <goose_> So I'm having
[22:30] <goose_> So I'm having an issue with fonts blurring on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm using KDE 5.12.5 with Nvidia 396 drivers. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, turning off composition pipeline, and adjusting font antialiasing in the font settings. Nothing has worked so far. Any help?
[22:30] <goose_> here is an example, though it will sometimes come into focus and then just blur again. It's usually worse than this pic

[23:30] <latene> anyone know tricks for getting Kubuntu accept a multi gpu mining rig set up?
