[00:15] <kalikatz> is there a wiget or clean solution to display the /syslog with a transparent background. Instead of using a konsole with borders and such?
[00:30] <keithzg[m]> kalikatz: There's certainly widgets out there, for instance https://store.kde.org/p/1169451/. You could also just open up a konsole window and remove the borders :D
[00:33] <kalikatz> thanks keithzg[m]m ill look into it, was feeling lazy and went through the widgets in the list and didnt see anything.  was hoping something was already implemented that I have overlooked.
[00:36] <keithzg[m]> kalikatz: Yeah the Termoid widget should work fine, and I do believe there are others, thanks in no small part to qmltermwidget, so I think you'll also need to install https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget
[01:41] <Edisto> in 18.04 what setting do I need to change to make it required to login when switching users?
[01:42] <Edisto> when I do ctrl + alt + f1 or f2 it just switches without login prompt
[01:43] <Perdellian> keithzg[m]: that was my main takeway
[01:43] <Perdellian> I also note a lack of signal-desktop available by default except by snap
[01:44] <Perdellian> same with skype (a group I'm in uses it for meetings. don't judge me)
[01:45] <keithzg[m]> Perdellian: That's not quite true, Signal actually has their own Debian/Ubuntu repository for the desktop app, instructions are up at https://signal.org/download/
[01:45] <Perdellian> (I'd prefer that we all use Signal for our chats instead of groupme and something a bit more privacy-friendly than skype for video conferencing, but I have yet to win those political arguments)
[01:46] <Perdellian> keithzg[m]: hah! I'm so used to the "check AUR" mentality that I didn't even think to look for that
[01:46] <Perdellian> yay!
[01:46] <Perdellian> or, olderschool, pacaur!
[01:46] <Perdellian> ;)
[01:46] <keithzg[m]> Hah!
[01:47]  * Perdellian is going to miss some things about Arch, but it doesn't really fit ther use-case at this point in their life
[01:49] <Perdellian> hrm... their repo is xenial?
[01:50]  * Perdellian is on cosmic
[01:52] <Perdellian> keithzg[m]: coming from a rolling-release distro... how much does that matter?
[01:52] <keithzg[m]> Perdellian: Not much, I mean the Signal desktop app is just an Electron app anyways I don't think it has many real dependencies.
[01:53] <keithzg[m]> Perdellian: Yeah looks like it just requires gconf2, gconf-service, libnotify4, libappindicator1, libxtst6, libnss3, libasound2, libxss1---and no specific versions required for each. Certainly I know it works fine on Bionic and Cosmic for me!
[01:54] <Perdellian> alrighty
[01:54] <keithzg[m]> (I mean, as fine as a damned Electron app can work; GTK is still hilariously inept at scaling on displays, unfortunately, and the Electron developers made the original sin of going with GTK rather than Qt, amongst admittedly many other mistakes ;))
[02:00] <Perdellian> *snrk*
[02:00] <Perdellian> cute
[02:00] <Perdellian> now to see if it needs to be re-paired
[10:32] <grady> if i create only samba user, how i manage its file permissions
[10:32] <grady> eh, wrong channel :P
[11:56] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
 Hello! Ubuntu 18.10 is supposed to have support in the kernal for fingerprint scanners - yes? Does this apply to Kubuntu also? How do you activate it if so? Thanks!
[13:28] <hateball> Anarchotaoist are you still here?
[13:29] <hateball> Might I suggest using a normal IRC client so it's easier to hilight you? :p
[17:51]  * Perdellian ponders the default fonts and the difference from Deja Vu Sans
 @hateball, Sorry! I sent to bed. IRC? Konversation rather than Telegram?
[22:40] <valorie> @Anarchotaoist I use konversation however there are many clients
[22:40] <valorie> I have telegram but only use it on my phone for the most part
[23:01] <keithzg[m]> Konversation is great! Riot.im is also a good midpoint between Telegram and IRC, but of course I would say that, as a guy who runs his own Matrix server to use with Riot.im ;)
 i use hexchat for irc, i used to use discord as my main chat platform but i quit bc of them collecting data + their tos
 telegram is my main now but i may hop onto irc sometimes
