=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [01:29] @jubo2, Mailspring us best! I just tried Kube again. Accounts will not set up. I will be giving kmail another shot this weekend as integration with the pim suit would be welcomed. [03:18] I'm using kde and installed ffmpegthumbnailer or something similar package. In dolphin i click the preview button and I still have no joy of video previews [03:18] any idea why? [03:20] I heard there were improvements for nvidia in 18.10, so I switched from intel to nvidia and rebooted. No. Still graphical glitches. 😫 [03:25] hmmm, I found it improved in 18.10 [03:26] I also use nvidia [03:26] illuminated: I'll try that and see [03:27] Well, maybe I am doing something wrong, but my Dell Precision 5520 (which came with Linux) does not like nvidia! 🙁 [03:29] how did you install it? [03:29] I used what systemsettings advised [03:29] Yes, I used the settings Driver Manager. [03:31] valorie: I got it.. ctrl-m to open up menu bar: settings -> configure dolphin -> General -> Previews -> video files (ffmpegthumbs) [03:33] oh cool [03:33] well, my vid folder was empty so I'm repopulating it [03:33] yay for backups! [03:46] illuminated: yup, works for me too! [03:57] awesome [03:57] I've only been using linux about 3 weeks [04:06] i've used some form of posix for years, but only in a server environment. Not used to linux on the desktop yet, but not unfamiliar with linux generally [04:18] https://raymii.org/s/articles/The_awesomely_epic_guide_to_KDE.html [04:19] not exactly comprehensive but has some great info [05:17] that is rather old! [05:41] well, maybe so, but for a person that's only been using plasma for a few weeks, it's kinda helpful [09:36] Peter Fox was added by: Peter Fox [09:39] Install help. Hi all I am installing kubuntu 18.04 from a usb onto a dell laptop. The boot and install has gone ok but is hanging on the final page with with the message “The installation will finish soon.” It has been sitting at this for two hours. Does anyone have any ideas how to proceed. Thanks... [11:45] Hi folks [11:50] hi [12:32] Hello. With kPartition manager, can I resize a partition without losing its data? Or will the data be lost with resizing a partition? [12:33] I mean kde partition manager [12:34] Mrokii, as long as you don't make the partition smaller than the amount of space the data uses, and mounted partitions like the one you're using can't be resized of course. [12:36] unless you use a live media partition manager like gparted [12:37] BluesKaj: thanks. [12:38] Mrokii, yw [12:38] BluesKaj: Did I understand that correctly, that gparted allows resizing of mounted partitions? That sounds dangerous. [12:39] no, it means gparted on a cd or usb can resize any hdd or ssd partitions not in use, you just need to unmount them first [12:40] BluesKaj: Ah yes, okay. That's what I thought. Thanks again. :) [12:40] your welcome , Mrokii :-) [15:46] BadWolf_FPV was added by: BadWolf_FPV [16:20] Hi [16:21] i installed kubuntu 18.04 [16:21] And i cant install new themes [16:21] did you have the same problem? [16:38] WiFi doesn't work for me on Macbook Air Early 2015, I installed additional driver from Driver management [16:38] (Photo, 656x212) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Jug5ue05/file_10594.jpg [17:03] nvm, this fixed the issue [17:03] Fwd from M1kaela: and to your WLAN problem, my quick investigation (without being in front of the device or having direct feeling/experience, with being sleep deprived etc. so with your own responsibility) … 1. `sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source` … 2. `sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms` … Sources that would make me to do this in your place: … 1. Googling for your drivers and DKMS [17:03] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/bcmwl-kernel-source … 2. Ending up to https://askubuntu.com/a/978626 … 3. And there getting linked to https://wiki.debian.org/wl [17:03] 1. sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source … 2. sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms … Sources that would make me to do this in your place: … 1.

And there getting linked to https://wiki.debian.org/wl [20:21] are there any known issues with in 18.04 with finding network printers? [20:23] JMichaelX: I never had any..... on cosmic now so can't test [20:34] valorie: ty. just attempted to install an HP printer on an Ubuntu 16.04 server, and cannot connect to it from Kubuntu 18.04 [20:34] does it not see the printer, or what? [20:35] !printer [20:35] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [20:35] neither printer setting utility, nor cups accessed via browser is seeing it [20:35] might be something in those links ^ [20:35] oh, that sucks [20:35] not all printers will play well with linux [20:36] I guess you could google about your particular printer and see? [20:36] this one had played sort of decently in the past. had been using it connected to a 1st gen rspberry pi [20:36] huh [20:36] i may have to go back to th at [20:36] that* [20:37] I"m not aware of anything changing but .... dunno === mmeszaro_ is now known as mmeszaro === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
