[06:06] <valorie> KDE is a community that makes software, including Plasma, Frameworks, and lots and lots of apps
[06:07] <valorie> Kwin is the window manager although you can use it with other systems besides Plasma
[10:51] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
 OK I hate that I even have to ask this but how do I change the icon for an app that is missing an icon. I am use to being able to right click and set via its.  desktop file.
 Thanks that was not where I was expecting it.
 I think it should be possible in both locations.. My intuition tells me right click directly on icon in app menu is where it should be :).. If KDE is attempting to make it easy for a normal user.
[13:29] <BluesKaj> KDE is easy, it's logical, like anything else once one uses kde for as while the sense behind it become apparent
[13:29] <BluesKaj> as = a
 BluesKaj: I love KDE but for me a desktop should be as intuitive as any user might use it. But I get it you got to use it for a while to figure it out.
[13:42] <BluesKaj> Barika, exactly :-)
 So I changed the icon it shows fine in menu but only shows fine on latte dock when I first launch the app after reboot its just a result icon with X in it.
[14:31] <BluesKaj> I just use quicklaunch in the panel, I don't bother with docking
 BlueKaj: Yeah but I like how dock functions.. It keeps all my apps off taskbar and allows me to quickly access items that are running multiple instances.. Like I might have several Firefox  windows running. I like how it shows me dots for number of instances running I can hover and pick what I want to access.
[14:48] <BluesKaj> Barika, I have no need for multiple instances , except of course tabs in chrome, and any active apps are in the "icons only task manager"
[16:16] <madLyfe> i have 3 monitors, the lock screen shows 3 replicated lock screens. is it possible to have just one lock screen on the primary monitor?
[16:16] <madLyfe> well, show only the login parts on the primary monitor.
 currently not
[16:27] <madLyfe> you talking to me?
 yes
 BluesKaj: Maybe a video uploaded to streamable showing your workflow might help..
[16:35] <BluesKaj> I don't work anymore , I'm retired so being home user my needs are totally different then a production machine
[16:35] <BluesKaj> than
 Still ok be nice to see how you utlize the system.
 Screen Edges option for present  windows greyed out. Is there somewhere these need enabled like the grid?
[17:48] <madLyfe> is it possible to have my primary monitor be the monitor where its the active login monitor?
[17:50] <BootScout> hola cabrones! cada vez es más difícil unirse a este pinche canal
[17:50] <BootScout> so
[17:51] <BootScout> I am using /home partition and / partition...and wondering how to smoothly upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04
[17:53] <BootScout> also I have a little flaw in my /home partition...
[17:53] <BootScout> a folder
[17:54] <BootScout> home/PersonalFolder/usr/src
[17:54] <diogenes_> !es | BootScout
[17:54] <BootScout> I think that folder should not be there at all...am I wrong?
[17:54] <BootScout> I don't chat with bots
[17:55] <BootScout> from now on I will keep my spanish for my madre
[17:56] <BootScout> hello?
[17:56] <BootScout> bussy people
[17:57] <diogenes_> BootScout, i'd suggest re-installation
[17:57] <BootScout> I wonder where have all the good times gone...
[17:57] <BootScout> oh?
[17:57] <BootScout> really?
[17:58] <BootScout> I use intensively the home partition
[17:58] <diogenes_> and?
[17:58] <BootScout> won't  re-installing make me lose it?
[17:59] <BootScout> oh no
[17:59] <BootScout> I see
[17:59] <BootScout> sure
[17:59] <BootScout> it might be compatible right?
[17:59] <BootScout> with the new version...
[17:59] <diogenes_> BootScout, if you got a separate partition for /home then you're fine
[17:59] <diogenes_> just reassing it as home and don't forget NOT to mark for formatting
[17:59] <BootScout> reinstalling is best then
[18:00] <BootScout> hmmm
[18:00] <BootScout> but
[18:00] <BootScout> I use a dual boot aswell
[18:00] <BootScout> with win10
[18:01] <diogenes_> BUT, there is a but, before re-installation, i'd advice to remove all the .file and .folder from /home, you can backup some configs for apps you use most and go ahead re-installing
[18:01] <BootScout> so you suggest me to burn a cd or usb with the new lts and reinstall it
[18:01] <diogenes_> and dual boot won't be an issue
[18:01] <BootScout> I see
[18:01] <diogenes_> i'd suggest a usb
[18:02] <BootScout> I successfully upgrade an ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04 but not a kubuntu that's why I was asking here
[18:03] <BootScout> the other thing holding my horses is...the nvidia driver
[18:03] <BootScout> I know I installed the propietary driver...
[18:03] <BootScout> and I recall a strong advice about that...
[18:03] <BootScout> and I bet they still didn't fix that part
[18:04] <diogenes_>  i use nouveau so i don't care about nvidia proprietary crap
[18:04] <diogenes_> but i guess it won't be an issue
[18:04] <BootScout> I see
[18:06] <BootScout> so you don't trust the 'there is a new Kubuntu version available, do you want to upgrade now?' message huh?
[18:06] <BootScout> why so?¿
[18:07] <madLyfe> how does one only show notification popups on the main monitor? i have 3 and a panel on each so i get the same notification that pops up on all 3.
[18:07] <BootScout> hah
[18:08] <diogenes_> i didn't say i don't trust, but i just suggested the more precise way that can skip you some minor issues that can occur after the upgrade
[18:08] <BootScout> and sms to mobile phone¿
[18:08] <diogenes_> especially if we taking about nvidia prorpietary
[18:08] <BootScout> okay
[18:08] <BootScout> you win
[18:08] <BootScout> I will follow that advice
[18:08] <BootScout> but not today...
[18:09] <BootScout> it is twilight again...
[18:09] <BootScout> thank you very much!
[18:09] <BootScout> it's been nice meeting you
[18:09] <BootScout> byeee
[18:18] <BootScout> diogenes_ there is one more thing though
[18:18] <diogenes_> ?
[18:18] <BootScout> I am using Mysql the old LAMP thingy
[18:19] <BootScout> and I have several db running
[18:19] <BootScout> so now  that I think twice...I don't like your advice
[18:20] <diogenes_> then why upgrading?
[18:20] <BootScout> mysql version compatibility is a pain
[18:20] <diogenes_> what you don't like about your current setup?
[18:20] <diogenes_> oh i see
[18:20] <BootScout> time
[18:20] <BootScout> lts ending
[18:20] <diogenes_> then you're on your own, try upgrading
[18:20] <BootScout> I like the distant horizon of the new lts support
[18:21] <BootScout> upgrading would in theory keep my mysql installation wouldn't it?
[18:21] <diogenes_> i'm not aware about the server stuff so i can't help you there
[18:23] <BootScout> okay
[18:23] <BootScout> and for activities?
[18:23] <BootScout> kubuntu activities are cool
[18:23] <BootScout> I have about 10 different activities in my desktop
[18:23] <BootScout> are they still a thing in the new lts?
[18:24] <BootScout> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyEDyNQmpms
[18:24] <BootScout> Miedo a volar
[18:25] <diogenes_> you can read the release notes
[18:25] <BootScout> :-)
[18:25] <BootScout> I ll go fetching my 3d glasses
[18:25] <diogenes_> lol
[18:26] <BootScout> common don't tell me you don't like my shadow
[18:26] <BootScout> the sun is killer these days
[18:27] <BootScout> but you know what?
[18:28] <diogenes_> ?
[18:28] <BootScout> we have a daring robot heading to it
[18:28] <BootScout> with nothing but a sunscreen
[18:34] <BootScout> just a note for iliterate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_and_Alexander (4 line in the original anecdote paragraph)
[21:06] <Fritigern> Poop. I have just updated from Bionic to the devlopment bersion of Cosmic but now Pulseaudio won't run. Manually starting it with pulseaudio -D & did not work.
[23:01] <keithzg[m]> Huh, did Calligra Flow get dropped at some point? I see calligraflow-data, and I've installed literally every Calligra package, but I don't seem to have Calligra Flow here on Bionic.
