[05:53] <floown> Hello
[05:53] <floown> How to restart Zsh, please?
[06:05] <hateball> ... restart? Log out of your shell and back in?
[06:12] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:41] <gt8ost4l> does anyone know how to show duration (length) of media files in a column or preview widget ?
[08:32] <zztopless> hey k people... having an annoying issue where app windows will start to drop under the main taskbar (panel).  I find the only thing that resolves it using my, normally reserved for more serious issues, 'killall plasmashell' kstart plasmashell'
[08:33] <zztopless> Anyone have any less 'hit it down with a hammer' ideas as stop it from happening?
[08:56] <zztopless> Does anyone know a way to completely disable Baloo in 18.04, but stil have dolphin search work as it did pre kde5?  I would like to stop having to switch between Dolphin4 and 5 for the one or two things one does that the other doesn't
[11:48] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:29] <HiPhish> Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place for my question. I am running Kubuntu 18.04
[14:30] <HiPhish> When I want to play MIDI sound and normal sound at the same time only one of the two work.
[14:30] <HiPhish> It's like MIDI wants full control over the sound card, it does not even shop among the "Applications" in the Audio Volume widget
[14:31] <hateball> HiPhish: what application are you using to play?
[14:31] <HiPhish> I know that Timidity is handling coversion of MIDI to sound signals, but I haven't changed any configurations from the default.
[14:32] <HiPhish> hateball: aplaymidi for testing. My real use-case is that I want to play the new System Shock source port in Wine.
[14:32] <hateball> HiPhish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/210472
[14:32] <HiPhish> When I play System Shock I can only hear the music, but no sound effects. I thought initially that it's a Wine issue, but as I said, aplaymidi displays the same behaviour.
[14:33] <hateball> HiPhish: why would you need timidity for a wine port? weird
[14:34] <HiPhish> hateball: I don't know much about MIDI or Linux sound. All I know is that MIDI is not an actual audio file, but instructions for "instruments".
[14:34] <hateball> yea
[14:34] <HiPhish> These instructions can be played back by a synthesizer, or a program that turns them into sound for a sound card.
[14:35] <hateball> seems weird the new version would use midi and not something like mp3 or vorbis is all
[14:35] <hateball> HiPhish: also, have you tried it through Proton in Steam?
[14:35] <HiPhish> And from what I understand, Timidity fulfills the latter role.
[14:35] <hateball> rather than wine+win-steam
[14:35] <HiPhish> I don't have Steam, I use the GOG version.
[14:35] <hateball> ah
[14:38] <HiPhish> If I manually start a Timidity process with `timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os &` and instruct aplaymidi to play on that one's port, then I can get both MIDI and normal audio to play.

[14:39] <HiPhish> This is why I believe that the problem is in the way Timidity is set up.
[15:38] <Mylon> Why does the touchpad utility not allow me to change tap actions?
[15:39] <Mylon> There's a drop down for two-finger tap, but it's greyed out?
[15:47] <Mylon> Alright, I'm back.  Did I miss a reply?
[15:49] <Mylon> Hmm, can't use Discover to install something.  Can't obtain lock?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> maybe unattended upgrades running in the background, that will tie up your package manager
[15:52] <BluesKaj> it normally runs right after login
[16:03] <HiPhish> Mylon: I had a similar problem a few days ago. Discover displayed to me a command to type into the terminal which fixed it.
[16:05] <HiPhish> IIRC it showed as a sort of bezel for a short time, so it's easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. Try terminating Discover and then running update again, maybe it will show up.
[16:09] <daum> any ideas why groups MY_USER shows a number of groups, but just typing "groups" as my user only brings back the primary group of my user.  I've rebooted, and still the same.  If I sudo into my own user it properly shows the groups
[16:34] <daum> seems like this person had a similar issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/91jc80/help_when_opening_konsole_my_user_will_not_have/
[17:02] <ylel9> ##shqip
[17:10] <Mylon> How do I change two-finger tap behavior on the touchpad?  In the touchpad gui, tap behaviors are grayed out.
[18:35] <7GHAAKTUO> Hello, I just installed kubuntu 18.04 (came from mint 18) and for some reason, CTRL-INS in konsole is not working.. Since I continually use this, this is very anoying and I have no idea what other key it would be.. Where can I fix this issue, and have CTRL-INS copy to clipboard again?

[18:35] <phoenixz> (sorry, quassel had me as... some weird username)
[18:38] <IrcsomeBot1> <Phil Linux> Will the Ryzen 7 2700X work out of the box with an up to date Kubuntu 18.04?
[18:43] <moffa> phoenixz: Under Profile > Edit Profile > Keyboard > Edit and you can customize your key commands
[18:55] <phoenixz> moffa: yeah, I've been looking at that, but that appears to send special shell codes to the terminal, I dont see anything about copy/paste there
[22:32] <Mylon> I'm trying to install bluetooth drivers following this guide ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluetooth/+bug/1189721/comments/286 ) and it gives me this error: cc1: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mod
[22:33] <Mylon> After installing make, gcc, and libelf-dev... Still won't compile.
[22:35] <Mylon> Is there a way to get my bluetooth working?  The error message suggests I have the wrong kernel, which sounds weird.
