| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> There is no pulseaudio 12 in 18.04 | 00:19 |

| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> plasma-pa originally used gconf due to: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-pa.git/commit/?h=Plasma/5.13&id=677775b7db387b0d019f1a62dfcea86159a51f40 | 00:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> which is now optional in latest plasma: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-pa.git/commit/?id=c9fae1fb3f8e8a820fd480ce227d7fabf87bd045 | 00:20 |
| OvermindDL1 | Well somehow he got it, and he was not using staging or anything | 01:18 |
| OvermindDL1 | Managed to fix it by parsing the apt log to get old version and downgrading to those, but of a pain but it fixed it all | 01:18 |
| OvermindDL1 | Bit of* | 01:19 |
| OvermindDL1 | So it was added to just keep from needing to serialize out some settings to restore modules, bleh, what an ancient dependency to just do that | 01:20 |
| sm222 | Hey, quick question. Fresh install and snap packages don't show up in krunner / the menu. Is there a workaround for this minus creating menu entries for these apps? | 01:44 |
| sm222 | weird after restarting it shows up | 01:55 |
| sm222 | Ohh, I think it cause i changed my shell back to bash | 01:55 |
| Mandor | Hi! I'm running kubuntu 18.04 on a laptop, upgraded from older versions. I've recently noticed that the little network icon has turned red. | 06:40 |
| Mandor | The wireless NIC works and connects to my main wifi essid. But if I click on the little icon, it doesn't show me a list of detected essids like it used to. | 06:41 |
| Mandor | I do have the options to disable wireless altogether, to go into airplane mode, or to configure the wireless LANs. | 06:42 |
| Mandor | But I can't actually select which one should be current. | 06:42 |
| Mandor | If I run "iwlist wlan0 scanning", I see a bunch of wireless essids detected. So it's all working at a low level. There just seems to be something wrong with the kubuntu applet foo. | 06:43 |
| Mandor | Or maybe an intermediate layer. If I try nm-applet, I get equivalent behavior. | 06:43 |
| Mandor | So something weird is going on. I know the relatively low levels of the network stack, but I suspect something is broken in some configuration layer that I am not familiar with. | 06:44 |
| Mandor | Any clues? | 06:44 |
| hateball | Mandor: if you untick "connect automatically" you should be able to click and connect on the desired network | 07:02 |
| hateball | well you should be able to click connect as you like, but if you're jumping between SSIDs it might reconnect to a different one, was my thought | 07:02 |
| Mandor | hateball: tried it. No joy. | 07:03 |
| Mandor | In particular, unticking connect automatically from an SSID, saving, and restarting the network still reconnects automatically to the first ssid. And I still don't get a list of SSIDs. | 07:04 |
| diogenes_ | Mandor, what if you remove all the saved connections and try again to connect but this time untick that | 07:05 |
| Mandor | diogenes_: good idea. Oddly, the SSID came back. | 07:12 |
| Mandor | Although DHCP didn't automatically come back. I had to reconfigure IP, etc. manually. | 07:15 |
| diogenes_ | Mandor, maybe after removing them you needed a systemctl restart NetworkManager | 07:16 |
| Mandor | Thanks, I already did that. | 07:16 |
| Mandor | No joy. | 07:17 |
| Mandor | Oh, wow. | 07:19 |
| Mandor | I found at least two things that it might be: 1. /etc/network/interfaces has an auto stanza for wlan0. | 07:19 |
| Mandor | 2. locate on my essid finds some stuff in /etc/NetworkManager. Although I think that's just stale locatedb entries. | 07:21 |
| Mandor | I did ifdown -a, commented out the entry from /etc/network/interfaces, did an ifup -a, and restarted NetworkManager. No joy. | 07:26 |
| diogenes_ | Mandor, what if you try to create a new test user and try there? | 07:26 |
| Mandor | diogenes_: good idea. I think I'll rebooting, first, just in case something got left in a weird state from having an entry in /etc/network/interfaces. | 07:27 |

| Mandor | (Thank goodness for screen+cloud servers, or you would see me bouncing up and down in IRC every time I messed with one of these things.) | 07:28 |
| diogenes_ | :) | 07:28 |
| acheronuk | do networks show when you scan for available ones on the command line? | 07:28 |
| Mandor | Yup, iwlist wlan0 scan shows all the usual networks that I should see. | 07:28 |
| acheronuk | and 'nmcli device wifi list' ? | 07:32 |
| acheronuk | maybe after 'nmcli device wifi rescan' if nothing shows | 07:34 |
| Mandor | Back. Yup, it was the /etc/network/interfaces file. Rebooting cleaed the bad state. Not sure why I had that in place, but probably something I did and forgot about. Sorry for wasting your collective time! | 07:38 |
| acheronuk | unless plasma-pa widget has gone complete fritzo, it should just report what network-manager thinks is there | 07:38 |
| acheronuk | Mandor: ah. ok. no problem :) | 07:39 |
| Kon- | There's a pulse audio update for 18.04 and Discover wants to remove plasma-pa and the gconf module as part of the update process | 08:49 |
| Kon- | This seems like it's not working as intended. How am I going to control levels without plasma-pa? And pulseaudio-module-gconf is used by all kinds of things | 08:50 |
| eeos | hi everybody. I am looking for a microblogging client that allows me to post brief messages on twitter, linkedin, researchgate and facebook at the same time .... anyone who know about one? | 08:53 |
| acheronuk | Kon-: last pulseaudio update in 18.04 was back on 4th July, and did not obsolete the gconf module. do you have a ppa where someone backported the cosmic pulsraudio? | 09:03 |
| Kon- | acheronuk: Thanks, it was a PPA for an app I wasn't using called PulseEffects. They apparently added all other things Pulse-related to their PPA | 09:08 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 11:47 |
| eeos | hi BluesKaj | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | hi eeos | 12:52 |
| OvermindDL1 | Ah, that friend of mine also uses pulseeffects! That might explain why his plasma-pa died then | 14:28 |
| tonyt | installed wine but i cant find it | 20:16 |
| tonyt | anyone have any ideas? | 20:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> @tonyt, The wine menu is currently broken, but all the wine stuff works. From Dollphi, you can click an .exe file and it should run. | 20:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> you can also run winecfg from krunner or the terminal. | 20:22 |
| tonyt | well for instance i am trying to run mirc.exe but when try to open it it comes with with a windows to search for a program to run it with | 20:23 |
| tonyt | and wine doesnt show up | 20:23 |
| tonyt | i uninstalled wine and trying the wine dev release in the software center | 20:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> The stable or Dev will both work, but the .desktop files do not land in the correct location for KDE to detect them. | 20:24 |
| tonyt | it still wont give me the option to run it with wine | 20:24 |
| tonyt | "choose application" windows pops up and the is no wine listed in there | 20:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> strangely enough, the wine menu will be correctly created when you install a windows program (but the winecfg link will still be missing). | 20:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> the wine menu and winecfg can be manually added using kmenuedit | 20:26 |
| tonyt | im lost. im a little new to this. | 20:27 |
| tonyt | im using hexchat but i was curious to see if i could get mirc to run | 20:28 |
| * OvermindDL1 prefers either konversation for quicky irc stuff or irssi, or irccloud when on the phone... | 20:55 | |
| OvermindDL1 | I thought mIRC was long-dead, does it even support some of the newer things (not that this irc server uses them, but eh)? | 20:56 |
| OvermindDL1 | I hear Quassal is awesome but not tried it yet | 20:56 |
| valorie | konversation is teh awesome | 21:33 |
| valorie | tonyt: does it run from krunner? (alt+space) | 21:34 |
| valorie | i rarely use menus anymore; just krunner or pin the app to the panel | 21:34 |
| OvermindDL1 | krunner is my addiction | 22:15 |
| OvermindDL1 | I wish it had a simple scripting plugin interface though (or does it)? | 22:15 |
| OvermindDL1 | I've made a C++ plugin but too much pain for one-off things | 22:15 |
| OvermindDL1 | I should probably just make a lua plugin for it or something, but unsure how to register new commands that way on the fly... | 22:16 |
| valorie | OvermindDL1: there may be a scripting plugin interface -- perhaps ask in #plasma during euro-working hours | 23:16 |
| OvermindDL1 | Would be nice | 23:17 |
