 @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.
 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
 any idea why?
 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] <valorie> hmmm, I found it improved in 18.10
[03:26] <valorie> I also use nvidia
[03:26] <valorie> illuminated: I'll try that and see
 Well, maybe I am doing something wrong, but my Dell Precision 5520 (which came with Linux) does not like nvidia! 🙁
[03:29] <valorie> how did you install it?
[03:29] <valorie> I used what systemsettings advised
 Yes, I used the settings Driver Manager.
[03:31] <illuminated> valorie: I got it.. ctrl-m to open up menu bar:  settings -> configure dolphin -> General -> Previews -> video files (ffmpegthumbs)
[03:33] <valorie> oh cool
[03:33] <valorie> well, my vid folder was empty so I'm repopulating it
[03:33] <valorie> yay for backups!
[03:46] <valorie> illuminated: yup, works for me too!
[03:57] <illuminated> awesome
[03:57] <illuminated> I've only been using linux about 3 weeks
[04:06] <illuminated> 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] <illuminated> https://raymii.org/s/articles/The_awesomely_epic_guide_to_KDE.html
[04:19] <illuminated> not exactly comprehensive but has some great info
[05:17] <valorie> that is rather old!
[05:41] <illuminated> well, maybe so, but for a person that's only been using plasma for a few weeks, it's kinda helpful
[11:45] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:50] <Alexfrench> hi
[12:32] <Mrokii> 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] <Mrokii> I mean kde partition manager
[12:34] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> unless you use a live media partition manager like gparted
[12:37] <Mrokii> BluesKaj: thanks.
[12:38] <BluesKaj> Mrokii, yw
[12:38] <Mrokii> BluesKaj: Did I understand that correctly, that gparted allows resizing of mounted partitions? That sounds dangerous.
[12:39] <BluesKaj> 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] <Mrokii> BluesKaj: Ah yes, okay. That's what I thought. Thanks again. :)
[12:40] <BluesKaj> your welcome , Mrokii :-)
 Hi
 i installed kubuntu 18.04
 And i cant install new themes
 did you have the same problem?
 WiFi doesn't work for me on Macbook Air Early 2015, I installed additional driver from Driver management
 (Photo, 656x212) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Jug5ue05/file_10594.jpg
 nvm, this fixed the issue
 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
 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 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
[20:21] <JMichaelX> are there any known issues with in 18.04 with finding network printers?
[20:23] <valorie> JMichaelX: I never had any..... on cosmic now so can't test
[20:34] <JMichaelX> 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] <valorie> does it not see the printer, or what?
[20:35] <valorie> !printer
[20:35] <JMichaelX> neither printer setting utility, nor cups accessed via browser is seeing it
[20:35] <valorie> might be something in those links ^
[20:35] <valorie> oh, that sucks
[20:35] <valorie> not all printers will play well with linux
[20:36] <valorie> I guess you could google about your particular printer and see?
[20:36] <JMichaelX> this one had played sort of decently in the past. had been using it connected to a 1st gen rspberry pi
[20:36] <valorie> huh
[20:36] <JMichaelX> i may have to go back to th at
[20:36] <JMichaelX> that*
[20:37] <valorie> I"m not aware of anything changing but .... dunno
