[00:00] <obert_> syd: you could use 'locate' via shell
[06:03] <alterjsive> what is the best way to use adobe software on kubuntu these days? inside a VM? playonlinux?
[06:03] <alterjsive> right now I need to edit a adobe illustrator file for example. I've tried Vectr and Krita. They didn't import the file well
[06:05] <denza242> alterjsive: WINE probably
[06:08] <alterjsive> denza242: playonlinux uses wine, do you know it? it's a library of working tweaked windows configurations
[06:08] <denza242> yeah, I've used it
[06:10] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:12] <alterjsive> denza242: ok , thx I'll try it
[06:12] <alterjsive> moning lordievader
[06:13] <lordievader> Hey alterjsive how are you doing?
[06:17] <alterjsive> lordievader: I'm good, good, you?
[06:19] <lordievader> Doing good here 😁
[06:20] <alterjsive> lordievader: hehe, I'm working on an insainly ambitious non-profit project
[06:21] <lordievader> Good luck with that 😉
[06:22] <alterjsive> lordievader: thx :)
[08:53] <ktecho> Hey there. I just upgraded to today's kde packages in the ppa. I just can't upgrade "libkf5bookmarks5" because it will uninstall kde-baseapps-bin 4:16.04.3-0ubuntu1
[08:53] <ktecho> Is that correct?
[08:55] <lordievader> archeron, you around? ^
[09:20] <underground19> hello? anyone about?
[09:21] <diogenes_> !ask | underground19
[09:24] <lordievader> underground19: IRC is an indirect medium, please be patient.
[09:28] <underground19> Fair enough! Sorry.  When I open a new window or resize a window, all background elements (ie everything apart from the window I've opened) begin to flicker to black. This clears when I super+tab to refresh the activity view, but it's not great and it spoils the kubuntu evangelism that I'm doing a lot of these days :) I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 using the nvidia-driver-390. I know I should probably just change my driver but I'm scared of restarting in
[09:28] <underground19> case I have problems, and this only started happenign a few days ago, maybe after an apt upgrade. Anyone come across this?
[09:30] <lordievader> Does kwin log errors to the journal?
[09:32] <underground19> sorry lordievader, not sure where kwins logs are? I'm a recent debian immigrant.
[09:33] <lordievader> Here, on Gentoo, kwin/kde logs go to the system journal. `sudo journalctl -f` Run that in a konsole and try to reproduce the issue.
[09:39] <underground19> Thanks,  well there's certainly some stuff being printed in the journal when I open windows, but not seeing anything that strikes me as related to the flickering. Nothing printed when I resize a window, for example.
[09:45] <lordievader> What is the output of `sudo lspci -k`?
[09:49] <underground19> specific to graphics?
[09:49] <underground19> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce
[09:49] <underground19> GT 650M Mac Edition] (rev a1) \ Subsystem: Apple Inc. GK107M [GeForce
[09:49] <underground19> GT 650M Mac Edition] \ Kernel driver in use: nvidia \ Kernel modules:
[09:49] <underground19> nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia \
[09:50] <lordievader> Could you use a pastebin service next time?
[09:50] <lordievader> The `nouveau` driver is still loaded, did you forget to blacklist it?
[09:51] <lordievader> Or the installer didn't do that ;)
[09:51] <lordievader> `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf` (or something like that) should contain `blacklist nouveau`.
[15:41] <Elw3> Hm kopete does not show a systray icon for me.
[15:41] <Elw3> "QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set"
[15:41] <Elw3> Anyone else?
[17:49] <scorlupka> hey, everyone
[17:50] <scorlupka> guys, do you know where I can find links to apps on my task panel?
[17:50] <scorlupka> I need add some parameters but I don't know where it is
[17:53] <diogenes_> scorlupka, what links?
[17:56] <scorlupka> diogenes_: there are icons on the task panel, I've attached it
[17:56] <scorlupka> for quick access
[17:57] <scorlupka> when I click on it then it launches an app. I need to customize it (add scaling for chromium)
[17:57] <scorlupka> but can't find it
[17:58] <diogenes_> those are icons that u pin to panel from menu?
[17:59] <scorlupka> correct
[17:59] <scorlupka> for instance
[18:00] <scorlupka> https://i.stack.imgur.com/mfjn2.jpg
[18:00] <scorlupka> firefox on the screenshot
[18:02] <diogenes_> scorlupka, /usr/share/applications
[18:04] <scorlupka> diogenes_: yeah it fits for regular applications, but not for apps that were installed via snapd
[18:04] <scorlupka> it looks like it uses something else
[18:06] <diogenes_> scorlupka, there is an easy way to find it out, add the needed application icon to the desktop, change the name (myapp.desktop), customize it the way you want (don't forget to change the Name = ?? too) and copy it to /home/username/.local/share/applications
[18:07] <diogenes_> and in the menu you gonna find out your new application icon with the settings you need
[18:07] <scorlupka> diogenes_: sounds good, I will try. Thanks a lot!
[18:08] <diogenes_> yw
[19:48] <hingrida> hello
[19:48] <diogenes_> hi
[19:48] <hingrida> I just installed kubuntu and then ran Muon package manager
[19:49] <hingrida> I installed 4.4 GB of software but it didn't install
[19:49] <hingrida> it is in /var/cache
[19:49] <hingrida> the packages
[19:50] <hingrida> precisely /var/cache/apt/archives/
[19:50] <hingrida> they are not installed.
[19:51] <hingrida> I tried running apt-get install but it said there is a lock
[19:51] <hingrida> how can I install all those downloaded packages?
[19:52] <Mehlw> There is a package manager either still open or id crashed without you seeing it.
[19:53] <Mehlw> Reboot removes the lock savely.
[19:53] <hingrida> ok. And after reboot? How can I safely install those packages?
[19:54] <hingrida> well, thanks then Mehlw, I'll reboot and take it from there, brb
[19:54] <Mehlw> Just repeat installing them normaly.
[20:02] <hingrida> I restarted and all of them are installed
[20:02] <hingrida> Thanks again
