manumanumanuHi there! I am trying to configure konqueror, but somehow the settings only show the performance and bookmarks tabs. Shouldn't there be a lot more settings?06:38
acheronukmanumanumanu: install konq-plugins ?06:55
Lopecan I make a live USB that's persistent, such that I can install software and aliases etc into it?08:38
LopeAny recommendations for doing that?08:38
LopeShould I install kubuntu onto a USB flash drive? or is there a special persistence feature?08:38
lordievaderUnetbootin had options for persistency.08:52
Lopelordievader, thanks09:28
bogdansimaHi people! For some reason my desktop plasma does not behave as it should. The konsole window was semitransparent and now the message of that setting is telling me that "my desktop seems that not supporting transparent windows". Can anyone experienced this before?10:14
hateballbogdansima: what has changed between it working, and now?10:15
hateballlike have you updated or changed anything about your system?10:15
bogdansimahateball: nothing. I even rebooted the laptop and it is now working10:16
hateballheh10:17
bogdansimaI have shut the lid while the syste was on, for about an hour10:17
hateballmaybe a driver crash then, killing compositing10:17
hateballwhich is required for transparency10:17
bogdansimahateball: can the driver be wrong even after reboot?10:18
hateballbogdansima: well it's possible plasma disables compositing/effects and that setting persists10:20
bogdansimahateball: how can I solve this?10:21
hateballalt+shift+f12 toggles it on/off10:21
hateballso you can test10:21
bogdansimahateball: doe not do anything alt+shift+f12. Is there another way to check if the compositor is working?10:23
hateballbogdansima: alt+space, search for compositing10:23
hateballand look that it is enabled at start10:23
bogdansimahateball: WOW! Look what message I've found "OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past. This was most likely due to a driver bug. If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver, you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash! Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead."10:26
bogdansimahateball: This might be helpfull for developers10:27
bogdansimahateball: I have enabled compositor again. I will logout and logback and I'll give you feddback10:32
bogdansimahateball: Than you for your help and lesson (I'm a kind of a newbie in linux afted I've dumped windows). It worked!!! :) Thank you again!10:35
oodswaylooks like upgrade to Bionic is available: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts11:07
JussiHi all, Im attempting to install Kubuntu on my new laptop, but I am unable to resize the windows partition. I can remove it all, but no resize option. any ideas why?11:16
JussiKubuntu 18.04.1, lenovo thinkpad yoga l38011:16
hateballJussi: are you trying to dual boot? you need to disable uh... fast boot or whatever it is called in Windows12:46
hateballJussi: because it hibernates rather than shuts down, so the drive is in a dirty state, hence the refusal to resize12:46
hateballFast Startup? Something like that12:47
Jussiso, I sorted it out for all those interested. turns out windows had an encrypted drive, so couldnt be resized from kubuntu. I ended up resizing in windows, then installing from the liveusb to the free space. all appears to work now.12:49
hateballah encrypted, yeah that'd do it as well :)12:52
IrcsomeBot<exio4> Guys, how battery efficient is Kubuntu nowadays?13:54
IrcsomeBot<exio4> I am looking forward to install it on my new laptop and would like some tips, I haven't used KDE5 yet :P13:55
hateballexio4 you can always just try it :)14:00
* hateball does not typically run on battery, knows little of it14:00
