IrcsomeBot<Anarcho Taoist> I love how Falkon incorportates the system font in the tabs and right clicking for menu's etc.06:39
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> Good morning guys!07:35
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> My Kubuntu 18.04.1 is randomly taking muuuuuuch longer to start. Can anyone point me into the right direction how to go about finding the cause? Non IT background here.07:36
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> The start times vary between 11 and 32 seconds07:37
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> Between grub and longin screen07:37
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> Between grub and login screen.07:38
hateballPhil, after it's started you can run "journalctl -x" and examine the log, see if there are any obvious errors etc07:38
hateballmaybe it times out looking for a device or getting a network connection or whatever07:38
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @hateball, Thanks! I'll have a look at it!07:38
lordievader`systemd-analyze blame` is another nice utility to see what takes long to startup.07:43
espereguhow can I get HDMI sound without a video signal on the port?07:52
gt8ost4ldoes anybody here know how to migrate to dolphin4?07:56
IrcsomeBotZebedeeBoss was added by: ZebedeeBoss07:56
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Wow! Welcome Rob!07:57
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, Hi Phil - Thanks07:58
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Welcome to the bright side! πŸ˜‰07:58
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, LOL - I have been a Kubuntu user on and off since 201007:59
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Soooooo far longer than me! I only know your from DL and there you seemed to me very much a GTK guy.08:00
hateballesperegu: think that depends on the chipset. I tried getting that working with Intel once, it refused to activate the audio device on the hdmi unless I also activated video08:00
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, my bad.08:00
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, GTK / QT / Wotever - don't care as long as it works and works well - Kubuntu has always done that08:01
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Very much my approach as well. I switched to Linux almost 2 years ago when it became clear that Windows would no longer be a viable option for a person who puts any value on privacy. Then I tried almost any larger Distro under the sun (peppermint is still on my netbook). When I got my 27" 4K screen I had to go to Plasma because it was the only DE that could scale correctly.08:04
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Now I wouldn't want to live without all the KDE goodness.08:05
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, when you are next on peppermint have a play with xrandr - specifically  β€¦ xrandr - -output DP-2 - -scale 0.5x0.5 … change DP-2 to your monitor and scale to whatever number you want … xrandr - -output DP-2 - -scale 1x1 … will put you back to normal08:07
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> you have to do - - else yo get β€”08:07
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> be back in a while08:08
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, I have not used it on my main machine in a long time. Does that experiemnt work on a live USB?08:13
espereguhateball: it worked fine on kubuntu 16.04. now that I upgraded to 18.04 it suddenly stops working. And when I enable a monitor it will mute when the monitor goes to standby08:16
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, No reason it should not08:25
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Etcher is working...08:26
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, No. Wrong version. Torrenting PM19 64bit now...08:28
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, PM9 u mean πŸ˜›08:29
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, damn fingers... need... coffee...08:32
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @nggraham, Do you by any chance know why Kubuntu chose not to include snapd by default?08:33
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, snapd is installed by default08:42
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> the snap integration backend for discover is not08:42
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, No. You have to manually install it via discover->preferences-> activate snap backend.08:43
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, that is not snapd. just the discover backend for it08:43
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, Hm... Alan pope just said that it is not installed. I just took his work for it since I cannot verify on my own system.08:44
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> and the reason that backend is not installed by default, is that discover 5.12 does not do a great job with it in that version. for example, does nto support snaps using classic confinement08:45
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> and we can't upgrade discover in bionic as => 5.13 requires newer Qt08:46
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I see! Thanks for the Info!08:46
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, Whaaaaaat? I was so hoping for a newer discover in 18.04 along the way!!08:46
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> I'm thinking of adding the snap discover backend in 18.10 butt that needs a little testing08:47
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, maybe in backports PPA sometime, but that requires upgrading the entire Qt stack in the PPA08:47
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I did it and I can tell you that discover does the discovering of snaps in a very spotty way.08:48
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, :(08:50
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I would really like to avoid the ppa since I appreciate stability. And the ealry point releases of Plasma are super interesting but not very sensible to have on a production machine.08:50
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> back later. gotta run.08:50
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I would really love to have a ppa that give the user only the last  point releases of each version.08:51
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @acheronuk, later!08:51
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, are you still here?09:25
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> yeah - wassup09:29
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, Wanted to put my new PM9 thumbdrive to good use (xrandr). But actually it's not enough time now. Later maybe?09:34
IrcsomeBot<ZebedeeBoss> @Phil Linux, Hey Dude - no pressure intended :) - whenever suits you or never  πŸ‘09:35
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, I feel no pressure at all. Just gratitute.09:36
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @ZebedeeBoss, And I really really hope that GTK will come around on fractional scaling. I very much want to be able to broaden my DE horizont once again.09:37
dnivraHello! I am using Kubuntu 18.04 and I find that "Ctrl + Shift + E" is assigned to type emojis. Where can I disable this mapping?10:26
hateballdnivra: that does not appear to be set for me at least. do you get some emoji keyboard regardless of app?10:33
dnivrano keyboard pops up if that's what you meant to ask. It works as follows: I press "Ctrl + Shift + E" and type "joy", I get "πŸ˜‚" inserted.10:39
dnivraI'm not sure if this happens in all apps. It does happen in firefox regardless of which site I use.10:40
hateballheh, seems to be the same in chrome as well10:45
hateballmaybe it is some standardized browser thing then? I had never seen this before, and it doesnt happen in quassel or kate10:46
dnivrayeah seems to be case in chrome as well. and you're right: doesn't happen in kate or libreoffice from what I checked so it could be a browser thing.10:48
hateballthat said, no idea how to disable. but at least you know where to look now10:49
dnivrainterestingly, firefox has the network window from developer tools also mappend to ctrl + shift + E. Needless to say that window doesn't open up.10:52
hateballah hehe10:54
dnivraokay even more weird: it opens up if cursor is not focused on a text field. if I'm focused on a text field, the emoji insert overrides it10:55
dnivraand I'm not sure if it's a browser shortcut now: Google docs reports there's no conflict with firefox shortcuts and it's shortcuts for "Ctrl + Shift + E". Docs uses it for centre align.10:55
IrcsomeBot<chronosmsx> How to save power10:56
IrcsomeBot<chronosmsx> Kubuntu 18.04.1 - 2 hours of use - 50% left10:56
hateballchronosmsx, you can try powertop I guess11:22
BluesKajHi folks11:37
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @dnivra, Weirdly I have the opposite problem: I don't see a lot of Emojis that people send me and I cannot send any apart from the very basic ones that I insert by simply typing "πŸ˜‰" or such.12:30
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> @dnivra, ; - )12:30
pepeehi. is there a way to disable the touchscreen completely in KDE?13:49
regregpepee: that sounds more like an X issue rather than a KDE issue15:14
IrcsomeBot<Phil Linux> Hey @ZebedeeBoss , I have started PM9 on my 27" 4K screen. What shall I do now? You were saying something about xrandr...15:48
feodoranHow do I shut up kwallet? I purged kwalletmanager, added "Enabled=false" to both ~/.config/kwalletrc and ~/.kde/share/config/kwalletrc and I still get a kwallet dialog asking me for some password (which I never set up) every time I start my browser.17:50
BluesKajfeodoran, system settings>account destails>KDE wallet>uncheck "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem"18:12
feodoranBluesKaj: I have no "KDE wallet" under account details18:14
BluesKajin system settings click on kde wallet18:16
BluesKajsystem settings>account details18:16
BluesKaj kmenu>system settings18:18
feodoranthere is no wallet in my system settings, not even if I enter it into the search field18:19
BluesKajfeodoran, look in the kmenu in the panel...do you have  K icon on left side of the panel?18:22
feodorankmenu yes, but nothing about wallet in there18:22
BluesKajit's in the system settings icon with wrench and screwdriver crossed in the form of an X18:25
BluesKajthen find account details18:25
feodorandamit...turns out removing kwalletmanager removes it from the settings18:26
feodoranwhy can I remove the package kwalletmanager, but there is no way to uninstall kwallet itselft?18:27
BluesKajit has tob e disabled before remving the kwalletmanager, best tom just reinstall kwalletmanager then uncheck the box "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem"18:29
feodoranOk, next question: pressing a volume button on the keyboard triggers some pop up in the middle of the screen. Can I move this into some corner?18:30
BluesKajI doubt it18:31
feodoranIt is really annoying there, but I like to have this indicator in general ...18:33
BluesKajmine fades out after a few secs if not used18:39
feodoranit not about how long it stays, its about the location19:08
BluesKajI have no idea how to change it's location19:26
