 @diogenes_, Ok, thanks. I ended up using a flatpak, but how do you make a shortcut? Thanks.
[03:08] <lemma> the touchpad on this lenovo ideapad 330 running the kubuntu 18.04 kernel does not work at all. I am wondering if there it is realistic to hope that a future kernel will fix the problem
[04:12] <valorie> lemma, there is a PPA by the ubuntu kernel devels
[04:13] <valorie> I suggest joining the #ubuntu-kernel chan, reading the topic, then asking your question
[04:13] <valorie> they were very helpful when I had sound problems caused by the kernel
[04:13] <valorie> gave me a patch to test, etc.
[04:13] <valorie> fixed ever since!
[05:07] <riidom> Anarchotaoist, if making a shortcut involves creating a .desktop file, you put the "flatpak run xxyyyyzz" command into the "Exec=" line
[06:02] <Edisto> having a big issue. Was able to finally install amdgpu-pro since I downloaded the right kernel from package repo... However, my second gpu is not listed. Went to XORG.0.log and it is not listed
[06:02] <Edisto> I have no problems in Ubuntu so i'm trying to figure out what is going on in Kubuntu where Firepro w8100 is just not supported?
[10:13] <Alexfrench> hello
[10:29] <ylli_> Alexfrench: hello
[10:35] <Alexfrench> anyone use davinci resolve ? how it is vs others like kdenlive or openshot ??
[11:02] <mamonetti> hi
[11:39] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:44] <BluesKaj> hi Phil Linux
[11:48] <Alexfrench> hi
[16:10] <m_g_lewis> What does Mint use for the sources.list file? I opened /etc/apt/sources.list and it only contains one entry...
[16:19] <BluesKaj> !mint |m_g_lewis,
[16:56] <m_g_lewis> is knoppix based on Ubuntu?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> no
[17:00] <BluesKaj> m_g_lewis, it's debian based
[18:02] <tomte> hi
[18:02] <tomte> my application menu doesn't work anymore
[18:03] <tomte> if I klick the icon nothing shows up, if I just hover over it, it shows some "Application menu" message
[18:09] <tomte> is there away to just restart the application menu?
[18:15] <BluesKaj> does right click on it bring up a context menu?
[18:16] <BluesKaj> like "configure application launcher"
[18:28] <tomte> BluesKaj: yes
[18:35] <tichun> I don't like that flatpaks pinned to panel launch a new icon
[21:14] <criss9000> hello
[21:15] <bprompt> jello
[21:15] <kalikatz> mello
[21:16] <criss9000> can anyone help me with an audio issue in kubuntu 18.4.1?
[21:16] <bprompt> criss9000:    you can always ask, worse case, there'll be thin air and noone knows, I for one run kubuntu 16.04
[21:17] <kalikatz> not i,sry
[21:17] <criss9000> i have a headset with over-ear headphones and a mic, and the mic is picking up noise from the headphones creating an echo
[21:18] <criss9000> i've looked everywhere in the system settings for a way to suppress that echo
[21:18] <criss9000> i also tried alsamixer which disappointed me by seemingly not having that option
[21:19] <criss9000> and trying to install drivers for my sound card (realtek integrated audio) only end in failure
[21:19] <kalikatz> hmmmm, ear and mic plugged into the right jacks?  im not sure, the mic sounds like it is way too sensitive to pick up noise from a headset
[21:19] <criss9000> I'll appreciate any sort of help
[21:20] <criss9000> they are plugged in correctly, yes
[21:20] <criss9000> analog jacks only, no USB
[21:20] <kalikatz> what if you try turning down mic level?
[21:20] <criss9000> that only turns it down
[21:21] <criss9000> my windows 7 computer can do noise suppression just fine with the realtek hd audio manager panel
[21:21] <criss9000> but kubuntu doesn't seem to have anything like that
[21:21] <criss9000> i don't recall having this problem with my windows pc
[21:22] <kalikatz> ill peek in the kubuntu 18.04 settings i have, 1 sec
[21:26] <kalikatz> dont see an echo cancelation feature in 18.04, however there is a "volume feedback" in the audio general settings
[21:26] <kalikatz> and nothing about echo in advanced in the same audio setings
[21:26] <criss9000> that one doesnt do anything tho
[21:27] <kalikatz> ya wouldnt think so
[21:27] <kalikatz> what about though if mic had the same "playthrough" option ?
[21:27] <criss9000> i was wondering if anyone knows of an app that can apply echo suppression
[21:28] <kalikatz> im not aware of such, sry
[21:29] <criss9000> thanks anyway, ill keep looking
[21:29] <kalikatz> ok
[21:58] <criss9000> so i found some youtube videos that give instructions on how to add an echo cancel module to the pulsebsettings
[21:58] <criss9000> it seems to be mostly working
[21:59] <criss9000> at least mostly
[21:59] <criss9000> see what you think about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCc80p7MsDg
[22:01] <criss9000> it eliminated most of the echo, and whatever remains of it is rather faint
[22:08] <kalikatz> looks workable
[22:09] <kalikatz> take note of your changes in case it does nothing for you.  looks like it worked for a couple ppl
[22:12] <criss9000> i made sure to write it into a text file so i know exactly what changes i made
[22:21] <kalikatz> my default.pa has "load-module module-filter-heuristics" which claims to have echo cancellation?
[22:24] <criss9000> you can test it with any app that listens to audio input and output
[22:24] <criss9000> i for example use OBS
[22:24] <criss9000> which is how i found out that i have this echo problem
[23:22] <kinghat> so i just did `sudo apt install --install-recommends materia-kde` what is it to remove it? `sudo apt remove materia-kde`? what is the '--install-recommends' part? do i need to do anything to get rid of that?
[23:38] <krytarik> kinghat: "sudo apt autoremove" should get rid of those.
[23:40] <kinghat> that removed 0 packages
[23:42] <krytarik> It'll only remove packages that aren't depended on by any packages anymore.
[23:44] <kinghat> well i removed that package but i also have materia installed via the 'look and feel' section of the settings and cant figure out how to remove that.
