=== himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [04:05] help [04:05] when I click on anything that isn't konversation it always switches back to konversation [04:05] did i maybe press a hotkey or something [04:07] and now it's not? [04:22] nvm [04:22] i think it was my mouse getting pressed inside my backpack [05:20] Thank you for pushing 5.12.6 to backports [06:05] Good morning [06:07] somekool: you're welcome [08:14] Hello,I recently installed Kubuntu 18.04 and boot takes up about a minute and shows some errors.I did some search and found this https://paste.debian.net/1031636/ [08:14] Please help. [08:15] newrg, run: systemd-analyze blame [08:16] it will show you the services that take up the most time to load [08:16] I ran it and the results are in the pastebin link I gave. [08:16] dev-sda1 takes up about 20 sec,so is my hard disk corrupted? [08:17] 20.250s dev-sda1.device 16.045s apparmor.service 11.194s systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service [08:18] and what os did you have before? [08:19] I used Linux Mint 18.3 before and it also took about a minute to load. [08:19] you got an SSD or HDD? [08:19] HDD [08:20] then about a minute is nothing bad [08:20] if you had an SSD, you'd boot in maximum 10 seconds [08:23] during the boot it throws errors like the one's I listed in the paste link,is this some hardware issue? [08:26] newrg, if everything works as it should then those errors are safe to ignore. [08:29] alright,thanks [08:32] one more thing,I have Kubuntu installed on Legacy BIOS,secure boot : off ; when I tried to move to UEFI BIOS- I was unable to do so.On running diagnostic,it shows Hard Disk self-test unsucessful,terminated. === mike_ is now known as Guest46711 === Guest46711 is now known as Mike_Pooh [09:58] Hi All [11:05] How do I disable trackpad sounds on Linux from going into my mic? I don't want others to hear the noise [11:07] Get an external microphone. [11:12] Is that the only way? [11:17] Well, I suppose your mic is built in and close to the trackpad. Correct? [11:19] Correct [11:20] R13ose: I suppose you could enable tap-to-click rather than actual pressing down [11:21] hateball: how? [11:21] R13ose: in the touchpad settings [11:22] I am not sure if it is possible on Wayland, if you are running that [11:24] I am on x11 but I see no tap-to-click [11:31] R13ose: typically it is the default [11:31] meaning if you tap with one finger it is left click, tap with two and it is rightclick [11:31] no need to press down on the toucpad [11:31] Howdy folks [11:31] but that also depends on the touchpad hardware [11:36] Everything is gray in taps except the mouse click emulation box. [11:42] . [11:46] R13ose: yeah, it's called mouse click emulation [11:46] R13ose: maybe it looks different on 18.04, I am on 16.04 still [11:47] Yes but why everything else in that setting not working? [12:02] hello,I am using Kubuntu 18.04 and tap to select is not working for my mousepad,is this standard behavior? [12:16] newrg: if you are using wayland I think it is [12:17] https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tapping.html [12:19] how to tell I'm using wayland? I wrote this in Terminal echo $DESKTOP_SESSION and it returned plasma [12:23] !wayland | newrg [12:23] newrg: Wayland is a display server protocol that can be used instead of X. Ubuntu 17.10 uses Wayland by default on systems that support it. For more info, see https://wayland.freedesktop.org/ [12:24] newrg, wayland is not installed by default on kubuntu [12:24] BluesKaj, and which is in beta for about 10 years :) [12:24] diogenes_,heh, yeah, and not in the running for those who use nvidia gpus [12:25] exactly :) [12:25] BluesKaj, I did not install wayland or something else on Kubuntu then why is tap disabled? [12:26] tap? [12:27] oh your mousepad [12:28] I am unable to tap to select on my mousepad so hateball suggested that it might be due to wayland [12:29] well, wayland is installed only if you choose to so after the kubuntu install, so it wouldn't be wayland unless you forgot thast you installed it [12:29] to do so rather [12:30] I installed Kubuntu 18.04 today only.I did install third-party software as suggested in the installation itself and the updates which came after installation. [12:32] then take alook at your login page and check your options to see if wayland is available, but I doubt that it's there [12:33] newrg, run in terminal: apt list --installed | grep synaptic [12:33] paste here what you get but ONLY if there's less than 3 lines [12:34] WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/bionic,now 1.9.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed] [12:34] I got this diogenes_ [12:35] BluesKaj, wayland is not available [12:35] newrg, try: sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [12:35] synaptics must be installed [12:36] on some machines it works better with libinput on others with synaptic [12:36] diogenes_, I did it.Next? [12:36] power off the machine and then start it over again [12:37] alright [12:37] synaptic is a package manager, and Synaptics is an input driver found in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, an unfortunate choice of names there [12:40] diogenes_, I did it.Please tell what to do next? [12:41] newrg, now test if the mousepad works as it supposed to [12:41] diogenes_, It doesn't. [12:41] then most likely the driver doesn't support all the features for your device [12:44] I am using Dell Inspiron 15 3567.Could it be that my mousepad is faulty?but all the other functionality is working. [12:45] newrg, how old is your dell? [12:45] around 6 months,it's still under warranty [12:46] yeah, then most likely you need to wait for 18.10 that will bring support for the most recent hardware [12:47] newrg, try reinstalling synaptics after updating and upgrading with apt [12:48] good idea ^^^ [12:48] diogenes_, but I think this model launched in 2016/17 [12:49] newrg, try: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [12:49] BluesKaj, alright [12:49] then reboot [12:49] newrg, yeah your mousepad should work, the HW isn't really new [12:50] yes if it's 2016 then it should work, also i'd suggest to try a live session of 16.04 kubuntu [12:50] might work better [12:51] diogenes_, installed,I hope reboot will make it work or I will try 16.04 [12:51] yep try [12:52] io what was that other touchpad app you mentioned? [12:52] diogenes_,^ [12:52] BluesKaj, touchpad app? [12:53] found it libinput [12:53] oh, it's a new driver meant to replace the old xorg synaptics one [12:54] diogenes_, well that's what my 4 yr old lenovo uses by default, just checked [12:54] diogenes_, BluesKaj It worked!Thank you so much. [12:54] on 18.04 [12:55] newrg, cool :-) [12:55] nice nice [12:56] :) [12:59] my touchpad skills suck , always use a wireless mouse :-) [13:00] hehe, at home i use mouse, at work touchpad because it's faster and more productive :) [13:00] BluesKaj, yes,I use a wireless mouse that's why it took me so long to realize something is wrong with my touchpad(I installed the distro few hours ago) [13:00] * BluesKaj nods [13:02] i used desktops at work before retirement, laptops were in their infancy back then and very expensive [13:03] oh i guess it was like 1997 - 2000 [13:03] BluesKaj, must be hard troubleshooting at that time? [13:05] we started using windows pcs in the early 90sthe first laptop I recall seeing was around '97 as you say diogenes_ [13:05] yes they were damn expensive [13:06] The IT/admin guys in the computer dept looked after troubleshooting , we had no IT guy in our lab at that time [13:07] BluesKaj, then how did you manage? [13:08] we'd call the computer dept :-) [13:09] oh good ;D [13:10] I used application designed computers which were mostly dos with a lab instrument application running on top [13:12] companies likw Perkin-Elmer and Varian wrote thier apps or hired someoen to do so, I guess [13:12] wasn't much interested in computers back then, they were just a tool [13:14] BluesKaj, only DOS,must be tough [13:17] the computers ran the instruments quite well, since they were application dedicated, most of the problems weren't software related, they were hardware related [13:18] which we learned how to fix, most of the time [13:19] BluesKaj, oh now I get it since they were application dedicated,the scope of the machine was limited unlike modern computers which can do so many things [13:19] yup, exactly === osx is now known as Majoe [14:49] I do not seem to be able to activate a sound equalizer on kubuntu 18.04 64 bit .... any clue of what I should do? [14:50] I am of course using pulseudio, and can use either gstreamer or vlc as backend. [14:50] The laptop is Thinkpad Yoga X1 Carbon [14:51] eeos: do you mean systemwide? [14:51] eeos, u using pulse-equalizer [15:09] hateball: yes, systemwide [15:10] hateball: if I test using front left and front right in my stereo headset, I hear both the front left (right) in both ears [15:10] eeos: I am not on my 18.04 machine atm, I cant recall if pulseaudio-equalizer is nicely packaged or not [15:11] or if you perhaps need to load that module manually [15:11] hateball: deinitively not .... you cannot even launch it! [15:12] eeos: it's in universe it seems [15:12] anyhow, I sadly do not have access to a 18.04 atm, and I must leave. hopefully someone else can help you [15:12] hateball: thank you all the same! syl === kt529 is now known as eeos [15:27] /msg NickServ identify p0l8e7a0 [18:23] hi everybody! My laptop (Thinkpad X1 Yoga Carbon) battery consumption has gove through the roof after update from 17.10 to 18.04? === jeff_ is now known as Guest99120 [22:21] Hey folks, I can't seem to find a way to disable automatic update checks at start? https://i.imgur.com/ad0UrgI.png Is there a way to disable it? [22:23] hi, this is a test message [22:23] your test message was successful. [22:23] [chuckles] [22:49] Hello? Anyone here? fscale to Kubuntu community, do you copy? === lubuntu is now known as Guest55345 [23:24] <_rschalch> hello fscale [23:32] _rschalch: Do you know the answer to my previous question? [23:34] <_rschalch> Ill try to do a search, let me check what I find out [23:39] _rschalch: Thanks. Me tried to search to but couldn't find an answer. [23:39] *search too [23:48] <_rschalch> ok I found it ... type muon in start menu [23:49] <_rschalch> then go to settings -> configure software sources, it will ask you your admin password [23:49] <_rschalch> go to the updates tab and deselect check for updates, thats it [23:50] <_rschalch> I didnt know this package manager [23:56] _rschalch: I found that via one google search result but there is no Configure software sources within my system settings. If you're using Kubuntu 18.04, can you share a screenshot if you can find that option? [23:57] <_rschalch> its not from system settings ... type muon on start menu and start muon package manager [23:59] _rschalch: This is muon package manager, where is it's settings button? https://i.imgur.com/6IJ7I79.png
