spackle259hey guys. I had pihole installed in my system and than i removed it but it left static ip set in my system. I m not familier with the new convention of static ip settings. Because its not in the interfaces file anymore. How can i set my system back do dynamic ip ?01:40
markcHi, using Kubuntu disco, after an update this morning I now have some kind of different "login manager" with an onscreen virtual keyboard that will not let me in so how could I disable login functionality (sddm?) altogether so I can at least get to my plasma desktop?02:20
markcMy /etc/sddm.conf is unchanged with an [AutoLogin] section with plasma.desktop and my username02:21
markcAny hints as to what program or package name might be this "new login manager" ?02:22
markcI've tried stopping sddm and using startx but that just gets me a X error and quits02:23
valoriespackle259: you might ask in #ubuntu which is far larger03:05
valoriethis isn't a kubuntu-only issue03:05
valoriemarkc: you might ask in #ubuntu+103:06
valorienot many of us running disco yet03:06
valoriewe are considering using calamares but I don't think we've decided to do that or switched over yet03:12
markcThanks valorie03:16
valorieyw; good luck03:18
markcvalorie: fwiw I think I am stuck with a half done transition to qt 5.12, as in kwin-common won't install because of 5.14.3 vs 5.14.80 dependencies03:26
valoriewell, not everything is uploaded yet, much less tested and accepted03:27
valorieif you aren't in the devel chan you should /join #kubuntu-devel03:27
valorieand perhaps #ubuntu-release as well03:28
markcyep, if I had a clue I would have disabled any updates until some amount of dust had cleared03:28
valoriealong with +103:28
valorieheh03:28
markcSo, as you suggest, I should lurk on those channels to get some clues. I really should do some simple plasma devel anyway03:29
valoriewell then also join #plasma03:32
valorie:-)03:33
valorieand probably #kde-devel03:33
valorieright, if you lurk for awhile, eventually you'll be able to help newcomers and ask good questions too03:36
markcvalorie: perhaps you can help me with some identity.kde.org advice, I have apparently used 2 email addresses in the past but I have no idea what username is associated with either one, but it rquires both a username matching an email address to get a new (for instance) password. How can I get past this barrier?03:43
valorieoh dear03:43
valoriewell, usual advice is to ask in #kde-sysadmin03:44
valorieand then file a ticket if nobody is available to help03:44
markcHeh, yet another channel, but of course :)03:44
valoriehowever, you can't file a ticket if you can't login03:44
valorieso in that case, write to sysadmin@kde.org with all the details03:44
valoriethey will fix you right up03:45
valorieand hopefully disable the account you don't want03:45
valorieeveryone should have one and only one03:45
markcRight. Now I remember why I set up a second email account, because of the same issue with the first one. I am reluctant to set up a 3rd email account :-/03:45
valorie:(03:46
valoriebetter to get it fixed, yes03:46
markcHeh, when I get my desktop thundrbird working again I'll email sysadmin@kde.org as you suggest. Thanks again.03:46
valoriethey might be able to fix it on the spot in the chan03:47
markcvalorie: I'm not sure I have the time to persist with sorting out an identity so if you ever get a chance to ask someone why on earth they require both a username and email address to do something as simple as reset a password then that alone may remove one little barrier to encouraging more people to get involved.04:13
valoriethey are trying to get something to replace the current system but that's taking place in "spare time" which as always is short04:14
markcthat's encouraging to hear04:15
markcI've been using KDE for more than 20 years and would like to get more involved but there are just too many "buts" (for me)04:16
valoriewell, KDE is a community and we all do what we can05:05
valorieincluding me, a non-coding grandma05:05
BluesKajHi folks15:32
hangar18how do i get kontact/kmail to automatically delete emails even though i've got it set to do so?18:20
hangar18i've got emails from over a week ago that should've been deleted by now.18:21
samlamammaHi, I would like to get a digital clock on the top of the screen similar to GNOME3 (such that I can see the time even when one of my programs are maximized)18:54
samlamammaOh right, my question is: How could I solve this?18:55
BluesKajI just use the digital clock in the panel19:08
samlamammaBluesKaj: Yeah, I've got the panel on autohide to save on screen space19:12
samlamammaAlso in general: Wow Kubuntu is way snappier than Ubuntu. Or more like KDE is faster than GNOME19:15
