 ok. I thought Pidgin was just a 'middle man' for other progams, but I will have a look. (Google) Hangouts? I have chosen to be google free, so I will pass on that one. Does Pidgin work on os x/ios as well so I can communicate with friends and family?
[05:16] <madLyfe> hmm my primary monitors screen went black and my panels are gone on my other two monitors.
[05:16] <madLyfe> kubuntu. not sure what to do
[05:17] <madLyfe> any way to reload the plasma or something like that?
[05:17] <madLyfe> will that kill my session?

[05:22] <madLyfe> tyvm, that worked, krytarik.
[05:58] <madLyfe> what is kubuntus default app equivalent to paint?
[06:01] <kalikatz> im new to kubuntu, and i dont see a paint app.  i have used gimp and it works well, in ubuntu.
[06:02] <diogenes_> madLyfe, choose
[06:02] <diogenes_> https://www.alltechbuzz.net/7-best-free-ms-paint-alternatives-windows-linux-mac/
[06:02] <madLyfe> it doesnt come with one?
[06:04] <hateball> Hmmm, it probably doesnt
[06:04] <hateball> I dont remember if Karbon is installed by default but it's not really equivalent to Microsoft Paint
[06:05] <hateball> GIMP works just as well under KDE Plasma however, so you are free to install that. Or something like Krita
[06:07] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:07] <kalikatz> good evening
[07:00] <acheronuk> kalikatz hateball: kolourpaint is very like mspaint
[07:03] <kalikatz> m$soft? lol.  actually ive never used it
[07:05] <kalikatz> i liked gimp as i knew photoshop pretty well

[09:34] <RaphGroHS> where does plasma-vault store its containers?
[09:53] <acheronuk> RaphGroHS: currently in ~/.local/share/plasma-vault/
[09:57] <RaphGroHS> acheronuk: well, that is contraproductive if whole $home is inside another cryptsetup container …
[09:59]  * RaphGroHS needs to use then --exclude '.local' --exclude '.cache'
[10:12] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[10:18] <acheronuk> RaphGroHS: that is just the default. you can change the location when you set up a vault
[12:55] <RaphGroHS> acheronuk: well, I decided to encrypt the whole home partition
[12:55] <RaphGroHS> it takes too much time to think about sensitive data
[12:55] <RaphGroHS> just encrypt $everything, done. :)
[13:47] <mojo_risin> Hi there. My wired ethernet connection doesn't appear on my available connections, although it's on ifconfig: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/S9SQxJvNFY/
[13:48] <mojo_risin> Any help on how to make it available on KDE NM?
[13:52] <genii> You seem to have an interesting mix of pre-predictable network interface names like eth1,wlan1 and the now more usual ones like enx0023545c9f68, enx0050b6c2b431
[13:53] <mojo_risin> yeah, legacy stuff probably...
[13:56] <mojo_risin> that can be confusing NM?
[13:59] <genii> Probably better to have everything using the new system, and then tell netplan to use networkmanager
[13:59] <genii> !netplan

 Hello everybody
 I have Kubuntu 18.04 and somehow I disabled the ability to open my desktop settings by right clicking on the desktop. Does anybody know how I can get this back?
 I want to change my wallpaper and I can't! :(
 @griphook, what do you get in a right click now?
 nothing
 left click opens the applications menu
 @griphook, in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc … need an entry like
 (Photo, 523x87) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/6DnO05bH/file_9866.jpg
 it's the RightButton part that needs restoring
 then restart plasma
 ahhhh ok
 thank you!
 it's an unfixed KDE bug that you can disable that, and have no way to restore it via GUI
 that makes since
 No wonder I couldn't find any place to restore it lol
