| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @valorie, Hi Valorie. What configuration do you use in Settings - Compositor? What settings do you use in the nvidia settings app? Thanks. | 03:18 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | openGL and just standard | 03:19 |
| valorie | I made nothing special since adjusting to this laptops hidpi | 03:19 |
| valorie | haven't messed with it for a year beyond doing recommended upgrades | 03:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @valorie, OpenGL 3.1 or 2? | 03:21 |
| valorie | 2.0 | 03:22 |
| valorie | this is in cosmic | 03:22 |
| valorie | Sysinfo for 'valorie-Oryx-Pro': Running inside KDE Plasma 5.14.2 on Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) powered by Linux 4.18.0-10-generic, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz at 1999-2000/3800 MHz, RAM: 25832/32118 MB, Storage: 373/1144 GB, 225 procs, 215.14h up | 03:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok! I was using 3.1. I may give 2.0 a try then! | 03:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> How is plasma 5.14 working for you? 🙂 | 03:24 |
| valorie | perfect | 03:24 |
| valorie | haven't seen a graphics glitch since upgrading | 03:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ooh! Oryx Pro also! Nice! Is it the newer slim factor one? | 03:25 |
| valorie | no, it's .... 2 or 3 years old | 03:25 |
| valorie | I love it | 03:26 |
| valorie | but it doesn't go with me when I travle | 03:26 |
| valorie | travel | 03:26 |
| valorie | bit of a beast | 03:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Groovy! Maybe I should upgrade to 5.14 also. Would Kwin have any improvements in 5.14?? | 03:27 |
| valorie | maybe? | 03:27 |
| valorie | I didn't pay attention | 03:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Beauty AND beast! 😄 | 03:27 |
| valorie | used to freeze occasionally and now doesn't | 03:27 |
| valorie | so all good for me | 03:27 |
| valorie | seems lighter, too | 03:28 |
| valorie | fan doesn't come on as often | 03:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Great! Good to know! I was wondering if 5.14 would be a good choice for now or whether to wait for it to be default. | 03:29 |
| valorie | I'm not gonna ppa-purge it, for sure! | 03:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> "Allow applications to block compositing" - is this better ticked on or off? | 03:31 |
| valorie | hmmm, dunno | 03:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok | 03:32 |
| valorie | I think if you play games you want that | 03:32 |
| valorie | I didn't mess with it one way or another | 03:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Ok. I have it ticked off at present. I cannot recall what the default state was - on or off. I am not a gamer but do graphic work. | 03:34 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Arg! I just tried so many combinations in the settings but nvidia will not work properly! Worst of all Krita will not even open! 😞 Back on Intel power saving mode now. | 04:22 |
| valorie | damn it | 04:26 |
| valorie | maybe ask in the #krita chan? | 04:26 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> @Anarchotaoist, use nouveau | 11:48 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I was having some trouble with nouveau also (stuttering scrolling) and from what I am led to believe only the nvidia driver gives me access to the dedicated graphics. Diogenes gave me a script that fixed glitches and tearing so I am using Intel without issue - but I want the power of the Nvidia to do graphic work if possible. | 11:58 |
| tichun | What to do when I cannot install boot splash I downloaded? | 12:11 |
| tichun | Also, why cannot I install e.g. 'lindows' title bars? I got those on other installs and that is not the only package I have problems with, once I couldn't install 'United' theme pack | 12:14 |

| Quantos | Hi, I'm having difficulties replacing winblows with KUbuntu 18.04 | 15:22 |
| Quantos | I've never had a problem installing Linux before | 15:23 |
| Quantos | I think the problem has something to do with UEFI, but I'm not 100% sure | 15:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Zeises> Newbie question here...Which is the best tool to create a kubuntu usb on windows? | 15:34 |
| Quantos | I used ISO to USB | 15:35 |
| Quantos | Small and efficient | 15:35 |
| Quantos | Okay, found my problem, its my mouse | 15:36 |
| Quantos | Installation is working now | 15:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Zeises> Apparently kubuntu manual suggest's Etcher and unetbootin.....the forums mostly suggest rufus and unetbootin....while i was thinking of Universal usb installer😂 | 15:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Zeises> I feel so dumb now😅 | 15:40 |
| Quantos | Hey, is there a reason that my madcatz mouse doesn't work with KUbuntu 18.04? | 16:06 |
| Quantos | Is there a driver somewhere for it? | 16:06 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> @Quantos, if there is then open driver manager, wait for a while and you should get an option to install additional drivers. (tcan take some time) | 16:11 |
| Quantos | That's hardly useful since as soon as the device is connected KDE has a seizure | 16:15 |
| * Quantos goes back to the drawing board | 16:19 | |
| * Quantos wishes he could draw.... | 16:20 | |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> is that a fresh installation?, if yes then you could try reinstalling it but this time select "install proprieatary drivers" and keep your madcatz mouse connected | 16:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> that might work | 16:25 |
| Quantos | Naw, can't even install with the mouse in question connected | 16:32 |
| Quantos | Even with a second mouse connected it disables the buttons on both | 16:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> try installation only with keyboard | 16:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> press tab to move between sections | 16:33 |
| Quantos | Yeah, I did that first | 16:34 |
| Quantos | No joy | 16:34 |
| Quantos | I just found something that 'might' be a solution | 16:34 |
| Quantos | It's six years old though and I' | 16:34 |
| Quantos | m a little hesitant to try it | 16:35 |
| Quantos | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1528982&page=3 | 16:35 |
| Quantos | Does it look safe to try? | 16:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> yeah the poster is good | 16:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> try it, nothing to lose | 16:36 |
| Quantos | Okay | 16:38 |
| Quantos | Thanks for looking | 16:38 |

| Quantos | Trying to get a madcatz cyborg 7 mouse to work on KUbuntu 18.04 | 20:25 |
| Quantos | Tried https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1528982&page=3 | 20:25 |
| Quantos | Is that file supposed to be empty? | 20:26 |
| valorie | Quantos: we haven't used KDM for .... so many years | 20:35 |
| valorie | SDDM | 20:35 |
| valorie | and never do | 20:36 |
| valorie | never do | 20:36 |
| valorie | never | 20:36 |
| valorie | sudo kate | 20:36 |
| valorie | never, ever | 20:36 |
| valorie | just edit the file and put in your sudo passw when prompted as you save it | 20:37 |
| Quantos | Yeah, Okies, couldn't sudo kate anyway | 20:46 |
| Quantos | It gave me an error and a kick in the behind | 20:46 |
| Quantos | I've never seen that boot on my pc before | 20:47 |
| Quantos | :P | 20:47 |
| Quantos | Think it was steel toed | 20:47 |
| emma_ | hey valorie is ardesia not in the kubuntu repo? | 21:18 |
| === emma_ is now known as emma | ||
| valorie | !info ardesia | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Package ardesia does not exist in bionic | 21:21 |
| valorie | evidently not, emma | 21:22 |
| valorie | what is it? | 21:22 |
| Mrokii | Where in kubuntu can I install or make sure that a proper nvidia-driver is used? | 21:41 |
| emma | valorie: it is supposed to be software that lets you anontate your screen no matter what app you are in. like microsoft ink | 21:43 |
| emma | like no matter what app you are using you could draw on the screen if you get me | 21:43 |
| emma | anything like that in kubuntu? | 21:43 |
| emma | valorie: is kubuntu using X or wayland> | 22:40 |
| valorie | emma: you can choose wayland if you have the wayland-session thing installed | 22:55 |
| valorie | we don't provide it by default as it isn't really ready for the average user | 22:55 |
| valorie | https://askubuntu.com/questions/909565/how-to-get-a-wayland-session-in-kubuntu | 22:56 |
| valorie | it basically requires only one package: plasma-workspace-wayland | 22:56 |
| emma | valorie: that's fine, that's good to know. I was hoping it is still X because that's what the software im finding uses. | 23:00 |
| valorie | :-) | 23:00 |
| emma | valorie: im looking for some software that will let you annotate/free draw on the screen in whatever app you are in. | 23:00 |
| valorie | don't worry, X won't be switched off for a long, long time | 23:00 |
| valorie | hmmm, don't know about anything like that | 23:00 |
| valorie | so you'll have a choice for a long time as well | 23:01 |
| valorie | the plasma devels are working very hard on wayland and have a policy that no patch is accepted if it doesn't work in wayland | 23:01 |
| emma | hm i see. | 23:02 |
| emma | Well if Wayland confirs no benefits then why switch | 23:03 |
| valorie | it does confer many benefits | 23:04 |
| valorie | hardly anyone is switching yet, but everyone is preparing for the future | 23:04 |
| emma | I see | 23:05 |
| valorie | it works much better with hidpi graphics for one | 23:05 |
| valorie | and everyone is moving to that | 23:05 |
| emma | !info gromit-mpx | 23:05 |
| ubottu | gromit-mpx (source: gromit-mpx): GTK+ based tool to make annotations on screen with multiple pointers. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (bionic), package size 31 kB, installed size 95 kB | 23:05 |
| emma | oh no it is gtk+ based | 23:05 |
| emma | wait it says it is in the kde store: https://store.kde.org/p/1129261/ | 23:08 |
| emma | does it seem odd that a gtk3 port is in the kde store? | 23:08 |
| valorie | emma: kde store is the old KDE Look which also had Gnome Look and maybe others | 23:12 |
| valorie | so all workable packages that the maintainers want there are there | 23:13 |
| valorie | just as in ubuntu you can use anything in the archive | 23:13 |
| valorie | !info gromit-mpx | 23:13 |
| ubottu | gromit-mpx (source: gromit-mpx): GTK+ based tool to make annotations on screen with multiple pointers. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (bionic), package size 31 kB, installed size 95 kB | 23:13 |
| valorie | it will bring in some gtk libraries, but if it works, who cares? | 23:14 |
| emma | Yeah doesn't work anyway I guess | 23:16 |
| emma | valorie: i guess compiz might have a screen-marker/annotate plugin but I don't think Kubuntu uses compiz does it? | 23:20 |
| valorie | you can use compiz rather than kwin if you like | 23:20 |
| valorie | I never have but I know some people who have | 23:20 |
| valorie | you can use kwin in plain ubuntu as well, or in gnome/another distro | 23:21 |
| emma | valorie: i know you keep saying you *can* do these things but *should* you? Arent you creating some sort of abomination by mixing and matching and diverging from the pure intentions of the original developers? | 23:23 |
| valorie | lol | 23:23 |
| valorie | I say: keep good backups and use what you like in the way that works for you | 23:24 |
| valorie | you can always reinstall quickly and easily | 23:25 |
