[09:31] <BenediktXVII>  Hello everybody. I have a huge problem with Kubuntu. I think my locale file is messed up. For some reason, whenever a file contains on of these characters é, è, à, ô, etc ... it will show in Dolphin like this "2017-040 pr� r�q 25.09.18" instead of "2017-040 pré réq 25.09.18". This is problematic as I live and work in the french speaking part of Belgium and there are characters like this all the time in filr names.
[09:32] <BenediktXVII> [11:27] <BenediktXVII> The big problem is that it won't even open the files
[09:32] <BenediktXVII>  I use Kubuntu in a production environment, so it is important that such a things work ... :/ Of course I have looked al over the net and searching for an answer before coming here.
[09:58] <BenediktXVII> I am sorry, I had to reboot
[10:06] <BenediktXVII> Hello everybody. I am having big problems with my entire KDE locale. For some reason in dolphin the file name would show as "2017-040 pr� r�q 25.09.18.pdf" instead of  "2017-040 pré réq 25.09.18.pdf". I am having this issue for several months now, have searched all over but found nothing. My locale is set to en_GB, but the rest is set to fr_BE, as I want to have the OS language in english, but live in the french speaking part
[10:06] <BenediktXVII> of Belgium. I have tried also several KDE based distros, all have the same problem. This is the output of locale in the command line: https://pastebin.com/PWAH1Jn8
[11:57] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[15:07] <bitsian> Hello developers, I am new to the KDE community and am enthusiastic about contributing to it. Could you please point me to a KDE project (like Okular) where I can find newcomer bugs? Also, is this the right forum to post such doubts?
 @bitsian, If you want to contribute to specific applications, I recommend asking on the #kde channel.  If you want to assist with the packaging of KDE apps in Kubuntu, contact the #kubuntu-devel channel
[16:11] <Alexfrench> hello !
[16:11] <Alexfrench> there are still bug with discover to do updates ?
[16:12] <Alexfrench> i have to do apt get updates and apt get upgrade each time ??
 @Alexfrench, Are you running 18.04 with backports?
[16:22] <Alexfrench> i don't know, what do you mean with backports ?
[16:23] <Alexfrench> it depends with discover, one time it works, another time no
 18.04 is a long term release, but it's not perfect.  So backports allows you to receive new packages with updates and fixes.
 https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports?field.series_filter=bionic
[16:30] <Alexfrench> are they safe, it is writen unsafe ?
 Yes, just a safe as Kubuntu 18.04.  The backports are managed by the  same packaging team that provides the regular and long term releases.
 While new packages typically fix many bugs and add new features, occasionally a new bug is also introduced.  Majority of the time, adding backports is better than no backports.  Also, you can remove backplorts if needed (ppa-purge).
[16:36] <Alexfrench> thanks for the link, otherwise bash commands i use are the good ones to do manual update ?
 yes, the bash commands listed are a perfectly fine alternative.
[16:37] <Alexfrench> great thank you very much !
 I prefer apt so I use: sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade
[16:38] <Alexfrench> it is a old laptop on which one i try kubuntu but first i am a windows 10 user
[16:39] <Alexfrench> on my principal computer
 very good.  I hope you find Kubuntu to be fun and exciting.
[16:41] <Alexfrench> on my laptop it is faster than win10 but i am always afraid to break something
[16:41] <Alexfrench> so i go slowly
 Caution is good :)  I break stuff all the time, but I experiment on non-critical systems first.
