| keithzg[m] | Hmmm, I wonder why GUI performance on my one machine is so terribly slow now (like, really painfully; the launcher takes nearly a full second to show, for instance). | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| keithzg[m] | Well, I was planning on getting the newer amdgpu driver on this 18.04 machine for the sake of Steam Play anyways, I guess I'll see if *that* fixes it, hah | 01:54 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Hello Rik! @acheronuk Update: The keyboard not functioning at times in 18.10, that I previously mentioned, appears to happen after installing software - perhaps only .debs too. | 04:27 |
| Quantos | Which keyboard is it? | 04:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | Mikhail Borodin was added by: Mikhail Borodin | 04:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @Quantos, After installing a deb in 18.10 the keyboard temporarily looses input. Typing does not work. It seems to come good after 5 minutes - or a reboot. This did not happen before upgrading from 18:04. Keyboard? - whatever the Dell Precision 5520 uses! ? | 05:40 |

| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> @Anarchotaoist, I can't see how installing debs could possibly do that | 08:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @acheronuk, That is what I thought, but it seems to be a pattern nonetheless! | 10:02 |
| Quantos | Try a different keyboard | 10:16 |
| Quantos | Try a different USB port too | 10:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @Quantos, FYI, the Dell Precision 5520 is a latop not desktop. I am using the in-built laptop keyboard. I do not have another keyboard nor intend on getting one -especially for a newish (5 month old) high end laptop that came configured and pre-installed with Linux. The keyboard works flawlessly and beautifully every time - except after installing a deb -and only on 18.10- as crazy as that sounds! 🤷♂️ | 10:39 |
| Quantos | So? | 10:41 |
| Quantos | Connect a seperate keyboard to it | 10:41 |
| Quantos | Try that | 10:41 |
| Quantos | It's called troubleshooting | 10:41 |
| Quantos | Why are you running 18.10 instead of 18.04? | 10:42 |
| Quantos | 18.10 isn't a stable release | 10:44 |
| acheronuk | 18.10 is the latest stable release | 10:47 |
| Quantos | That's not a stable release | 10:47 |
| acheronuk | Yes, it is. 19.04 is the dev release | 10:47 |
| Quantos | Sigh, you don't know what you're referring to | 10:48 |
| acheronuk | LOL. I do | 10:48 |
| Quantos | A 'stable' release is one that's slated for LTS | 10:48 |
| Quantos | No, you sadly don't know what you're talking about | 10:48 |
| Quantos | I've been running Linux since SuSE 2 | 10:49 |
| acheronuk | no, that is your own personally chosen definition. | 10:49 |
| Quantos | No | 10:49 |
| Quantos | Stable | 10:51 |
| Quantos | After each mainline kernel is released, it is considered "stable." Any bug fixes for a stable kernel are backported from the mainline tree and applied by a designated stable kernel maintainer. There are usually only a few bugfix kernel releases until next mainline kernel becomes available -- unless it is designated a "longterm maintenance kernel." Stable kernel updates are released on as-needed basis, usually once a week. | 10:51 |
| Quantos | It has nothing to do with whether it runs stable or not | 10:52 |
| acheronuk | kernel stable release != ubuntu stable release | 10:53 |
| Quantos | 18.10 is not a stable release | 10:53 |
| Quantos | Learn to comprehend what you read | 10:53 |
| acheronuk | it is. please stop posting misinformation in the channel | 10:54 |
| Quantos | No it isn't | 10:54 |
| Quantos | And it's not misinformation, the definition doesn't fit it | 10:54 |
| Quantos | You must be a programmer | 10:55 |
| acheronuk | the definition is nothing to do with ubuntu distro releases | 10:55 |
| Quantos | Oh right | 10:55 |
| Quantos | So the definition just floats on magical currents of air somewhere? | 10:55 |
| acheronuk | Ubuntu stable releases are every six months. one of those every 2 years is long term support. | 10:56 |
| Quantos | No they aren't | 10:56 |
| Quantos | Those are dev releases | 10:57 |
| Quantos | Programmers, wow | 10:57 |
| acheronuk | no, with respect, they are not. | 10:57 |
| Quantos | LOL | 10:57 |
| Quantos | Whatever, pull your hat back down | 10:57 |
| Quantos | The beta of the Cosmic Cuttlefish (to become 18.10) has now been released, and is available for download at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/18.10/beta/ | 10:59 |
| Quantos | This milestone features images for Kubuntu and other Ubuntu flavours. | 10:59 |
| Quantos | Pre-releases of the Cosmic Cuttlefish are not encouraged for: | 10:59 |
| Quantos | * Anyone needing a stable system | 10:59 |
| Quantos | * Anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. | 10:59 |
| Quantos | They are, however, recommended for: | 10:59 |
| acheronuk | https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-10-is-released-today/ | 11:02 |
| acheronuk | 18.10 is released as final and stable | 11:02 |
| Quantos | Whatever, you have no clue | 11:02 |
| Quantos | Dev releases are not called stable | 11:03 |
| acheronuk | Seeing as I released it, I think I do | 11:03 |
| Quantos | They may run stable | 11:03 |
| Quantos | That does not make them stable | 11:03 |
| Quantos | This is a word in the English language that has more than one definition | 11:03 |
| Quantos | Wow | 11:04 |
| * Quantos goes back to eating gummies and ice cream | 11:04 | |
| Quantos | Would you like a bowl? | 11:04 |
| Quantos | acheronuk- I wasn't insulting your work, I'm not saying that the software doesn't run stable | 11:08 |
| Quantos | Stable is a release that you don't lose support on every few months | 11:09 |
| Quantos | I might be showing my age and using an antiquated definition, but that is what I meant | 11:10 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 14:45 |
| TheFerenOSDev | Hi | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | hi TheFerenOSDev | 14:47 |
| Alexfrench | hi | 14:48 |
| TheFerenOSDev | So, is anyone regarding Kubuntu Development online? Just that I made a thing to basically make an Initial Setup screen for Plasma, minus the actual initial setup window (basically GNOME Initial Setup, minus the window itself, but using Plasma), and I was wondering if they would maybe be interested in it... | 14:49 |
| acheronuk | TheFerenOSDev: I will try to have a look at it sometime, or pass it to someone who can. thanks | 14:54 |
| TheFerenOSDev | If anyone is then interested in it, though, guess I will drop a link to it, just know that is is flawed in a few parts, and it NEEDS SDDM in its current form... https://github.com/feren-OS/Feren-PoC-Initial-Setup-Shell | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | TheFerenOSDev, yeah, you could join #kubunru-devel with that development | 14:57 |
| TheFerenOSDev | I think that was spelt incorrectly, do you mean #kubuntu-devel ? | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | TheFerenOSDev, yes, my mistake | 15:06 |
| n0yd | Hi, does the kubuntu installer or at least the live cd portion which you can install from, do they have onscreen keyboard? Ispilled ramen on the laptop so keyboard only has 2 working keys, and touchscreen aint working right either | 15:13 |
| n0yd | sorry for ad/slow typing, im using win10 on screen keyboard. Once i install kubuntu i have a better solution for keyboatd which involves using a android device as a keyboard | 15:15 |
| n0yd | so as long as the install has pn screen kbd, i should be fine | 15:16 |
| n0yd | some insight would appreciated | 15:16 |
| Quantos | Do you have a USB keyboard that you can connect? | 15:22 |
| Quantos | The salt in the ramen probably isn't doing your motherboard any favours either | 15:23 |
| Quantos | Hehe, almost typed flavours | 15:25 |

| crimson_king | KDE printer settings doesn't offer HPLIP option to add printer. | 18:08 |
| crimson_king | Kubuntu 18.10 | 18:08 |
| crimson_king | hplip is installed. On the other hand, I also have Ubuntu MATE 18.10, which has system-config-printer (GTK) and it works as expected | 18:09 |
| TheFerenOSDev | TBH I've also had issues with the Plasma Printer Manager, too... ended up installing and patching 'system-config-printer' to make it visible in the Apps Menu and use that instead... | 19:12 |
