madLyfewhat is going on here? its been a few hours: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/EZ54LFAh/image.png02:53
madLyfei just killed it and did it again.03:04
valoriemadLyfe: I've run into that a few times as well04:16
valorieI didn't file a bug since I'm not running the latest though04:16
madLyfekilling it seemed to work04:22
valoriesame here04:24
madLyfevalorie: what is the difference between default panel, kubuntu default panel, and application menu bar?04:52
valorieI would guess that default panel is the default set by the plasma devels04:52
valoriekubuntu default -- unsure if we change that at all? perhaps ensure that the networkmanager widget is correct04:53
valorieoh, we also change the plasma symbol to the Kubuntu symbol for the "k menu"04:54
valorieapplications have their own menu bars on top04:54
madLyfetop is default panel and bottom is kubuntu default panel: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/YARVW2mh/image.png04:57
valoriehuh04:58
valorieI don't recall when we went back to the Kubuntu k in a gear, but it's been awhile04:59
madLyfei wish i could enter the height of the panel manually. its hard to get it to an exact number04:59
valoriebut how did you get the names "default" and "Kubuntu default"05:00
madLyfeactually im not even seeing the height number anymore05:00
valorieand where/how did you choose them?05:00
madLyfedamn05:00
valorieI've never seen a height that I recall05:00
valoriea number I mean05:01
madLyfevalorie:  https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/7Nf20oyK/irccloudcapture1324808631815535988.jpg05:01
valoriethat said you can probably do it in the /.config file05:01
madLyfehad to take a camera pic since you cant take sreenshots of context menus.. which sucks..05:02
valorieinteresting05:02
valorieok05:02
madLyfeim not sure where i adjusted the height and saw the number change dynamically but maybe it was on neon05:02
madLyfedo you know where the panels conf files are?05:02
valorieif it's super-new, that's possible05:03
valoriewe have the new Qt through, but not yet all the stuff that relies on that version of Qt05:03
madLyfethis is what im running: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/guEINcH2/image.png05:04
valoriesame here, madLyfe05:05

ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub205:19
valoriethat second link might help, gt8ost4l ^^05:19
gt8ost4lvalorie: that doesnt show me how to combine one line of code with another group of texr!05:22
gt8ost4ltext*05:22
valoriewell, I've never done it myself, gt8ost4l05:23
valorieyou get get some more experienced users in #ubuntu05:23
madLyfevalorie: is there a way to reload the plasma shell(for panels) so i can see if my config files edits worked? i dont want to log out because i have an rsync operation running05:45
valorieeasiest way is to `kquitapp plasmashell`05:48
valorieand then in krunner (alt+space) `plasmashell`05:48
madLyfekrunner is?05:49
valoriealt+space05:49
madLyfewhat is krunner?05:50
valoriethe little headsup menu05:50
valorieoh gosh, I use it constantly05:50
valoriealt plus space05:50
madLyfethat doesnt do anything for me05:50
madLyfealt+space05:50
valorieno plus05:51
madLyfeheh i know05:51
valoriejust alt and space at the same time05:51
valorieshows up on top of your screen05:51
madLyfenah. you mean the search?05:51
valorie it will search05:51
valorieit will also run commands05:51
valorieif you do `plasmashell` in konsole or yakuake05:52
valorieyou have to keep that tab open or plasmashell shuts down05:52
valoriekrunner is "below" that05:52
madLyfeya you are saying just run plasmashell in konsole basically05:52
valorieyou can do that05:53
valoriebut if you forget and close that tab, goodbye plasmashell05:53
valorieor do `plasmashell &`05:53
madLyfeonly have these options there: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/M64img5z/image.png05:54
valorieI prefer krunner05:54
valoriejust hit return05:54
valoriesince you aren't searching05:54
madLyfei have plasmashell open in a text file. thats the top one.05:55
valoriedid you already run kquitapp plasmashell05:55
madLyfenah. i havent done anything. i probably shouldnt do anything either. i have rsync running in a tmux session.05:56
madLyfeill just wait till its done with its transfer.05:56
madLyfebetter safe than sorry.05:56
valoriewell, plasmashell has nothing to do with that05:56
madLyfelooks like it worked06:02
madLyfenow i just need to make it bigger lol06:03
valorie:-)06:03
madLyfeits not returning here though: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/8AJAj8kY/image.png06:04

madLyfehttps://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9b67c2/wth_is_going_on_with_my_shortcuts/06:11
valoriesomeone mentioned that in #plasma recently06:13
valoriein general I don't mess with settings much06:13
valorieexcept to help people06:13
madLyfeshould i file a bug with KDE?06:15
madLyfeits a plasma thing, correct?06:15
valorieplease do, and mention the bug report number in your post06:15
valoriemaybe put your little movie in the BR as well06:16
madLyfemention it here you mean?06:16
valoriein that reddit post06:16
madLyfeoh06:16
valoriethe devels follow reddit06:16
madLyfenot cool to just link to the reddit post in the BR?06:16
valoriebut it's not a place to file bug reports06:16
valoriesure, you can do that instead06:17
valoriebut it means One More Click for the devel06:17
madLyfesure.06:17
madLyfewould you happen to know why i have 3 lock screens and 3 login screens? 1 for each of my monitors?06:18
valoriei"m not sure what you mean?06:18
madLyfewhy isnt it just one area to login from the primary monitor?06:18
valorieoh06:19
madLyfei have 3 monitors, each has its own lock screen.06:19
valorieyou might have them mirrored06:19
madLyfethe login screen is not on my primary monitor, which is annoying in itself.06:19
madLyfei dont see anyway to change it from the breeze login screen or the lock screen settings.06:20
valorieI would type display into krunner06:20
valorieand go to to that area of systemsettings06:20
valoriesee what's there06:20
madLyfehttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Sg7dspu6/image.png06:21
valorieoh, it's called unify outputs I think06:22
valorieand you choose which you want to be primary above06:22
madLyfeheh nah that just made me have 3 mirrored displays like the lock screens.06:23
madLyfeeach monitor showed the same thing06:24
madLyfe3 mice, etc..06:24
valorieyeah06:24
valoriemostly people who want that have docked laptops06:24
lordievaderOh, yeah. Sddm has it's own screen configuration. Haven't got around to messing with it yet.06:25
madLyfewhy wouldnt you be able to customize the lock screen if you can make a login screen?06:25
madLyfeseems odd06:25
valorieunfortunately that is not KDE software06:25
valorieyou can, but I haven't a clue how06:26
madLyfeok i need to crash. thanks for the help!06:26

acheronukquicker_io: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39002407:53
ubottuKDE bug 390024 in general ""Compare" button not enabled on the initial dialog even after filling the file names" [Normal,Confirmed]07:53
quicker_iothx07:54
acheronukquicker_io: try just tying a space and deleting it in the box with the file path07:54
acheronukas said in the bug, that activates the button07:55
acheronukI tend to do 'kompare path/to/file1 path/to/file2' in a terminal anyway07:55
acheronukwhich works07:56
quicker_ioacheronuk: yes, in terminal is ok thx07:57
acheronukquicker_io: for the record, just checked in latest git versions of kompare and frameworks, and that bug is STILL not fixed. sigh.07:58
acheronukcommented so on the bug!07:59

IrcsomeBot<Christoshaju> After entering the password is taking so much time to load12:17
BluesKajChristoshaju, how much time?12:17
IrcsomeBot<Christoshaju> @BluesKaj, 5-7 minuts12:39
BluesKajChristoshaju do you have other partitions or drives with OSs or data ?12:41
BluesKajif so you need  to do sudo blkid in the terminal and copy the UUIDs for any partitions not listed in /etc/fstab, and create proper enties for them, othewrwise your system boot will continue to search for them slowing you boot time to a crawl12:45
IrcsomeBot<Christoshaju> @BluesKaj, I have 5 partions13:05
IrcsomeBot<Christoshaju> Along with windows13:05
BluesKajChristoshaju, ok run sudo update-grub first.13:11
BluesKajthen after sudo update-grub , run sudo blkid, that will list your partitions and their UUIDs, which are unique identifiers for each13:19
IrcsomeBot<Christoshaju> Then13:20
BluesKajpastebin the UUIDs so we can look at them setup the entries for fstab13:22

IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> Hello guys I've Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS I want to change audio quality.. how to do this?15:31
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> some game emulators causes audio crackling or missing sound due to high quality setting.. on Windows I have an option to change quality to CD and everything is fine.. on KDE I can't see such option...15:33
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> I'm sure the bug is cause by audio quality cause on Windows when I set to highest quality it has the same crackling15:34
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> googled and it's called "audio resampling"15:40
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> how to disable this shit?15:40
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> I won't change system files but if there is no other way I'll change system files15:40
IrcsomeBot<Velizar Peshev> some gui app will be great option15:41
BluesKajVelizar Peshev, depends a lot on your audio player quality settings, if there are any audio quality oprions available , but the audio track itself is what ultimately determines the quality , garbage in garbage out15:44
feodoranduring kubuntu install (18.04) I can choose where to install the bootloader. But I already have GRUB installed, how do I skip installing a bootloader?16:49
