spackle259 | hey 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 |

markc | Hi, 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 |
markc | My /etc/sddm.conf is unchanged with an [AutoLogin] section with plasma.desktop and my username | 02:21 |
markc | Any hints as to what program or package name might be this "new login manager" ? | 02:22 |
markc | I've tried stopping sddm and using startx but that just gets me a X error and quits | 02:23 |
valorie | spackle259: you might ask in #ubuntu which is far larger | 03:05 |
valorie | this isn't a kubuntu-only issue | 03:05 |
valorie | markc: you might ask in #ubuntu+1 | 03:06 |
valorie | not many of us running disco yet | 03:06 |
valorie | we are considering using calamares but I don't think we've decided to do that or switched over yet | 03:12 |
markc | Thanks valorie | 03:16 |
valorie | yw; good luck | 03:18 |
markc | valorie: 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 dependencies | 03:26 |
valorie | well, not everything is uploaded yet, much less tested and accepted | 03:27 |
valorie | if you aren't in the devel chan you should /join #kubuntu-devel | 03:27 |
valorie | and perhaps #ubuntu-release as well | 03:28 |
markc | yep, if I had a clue I would have disabled any updates until some amount of dust had cleared | 03:28 |
valorie | along with +1 | 03:28 |
valorie | heh | 03:28 |
markc | So, as you suggest, I should lurk on those channels to get some clues. I really should do some simple plasma devel anyway | 03:29 |
valorie | well then also join #plasma | 03:32 |
valorie | :-) | 03:33 |
valorie | and probably #kde-devel | 03:33 |
valorie | right, if you lurk for awhile, eventually you'll be able to help newcomers and ask good questions too | 03:36 |
markc | valorie: 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 |
valorie | oh dear | 03:43 |
valorie | well, usual advice is to ask in #kde-sysadmin | 03:44 |
valorie | and then file a ticket if nobody is available to help | 03:44 |
markc | Heh, yet another channel, but of course :) | 03:44 |
valorie | however, you can't file a ticket if you can't login | 03:44 |
valorie | so in that case, write to sysadmin@kde.org with all the details | 03:44 |
valorie | they will fix you right up | 03:45 |
valorie | and hopefully disable the account you don't want | 03:45 |
valorie | everyone should have one and only one | 03:45 |
markc | Right. 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 |
valorie | better to get it fixed, yes | 03:46 |
markc | Heh, when I get my desktop thundrbird working again I'll email sysadmin@kde.org as you suggest. Thanks again. | 03:46 |
valorie | they might be able to fix it on the spot in the chan | 03:47 |
markc | valorie: 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 |
valorie | they are trying to get something to replace the current system but that's taking place in "spare time" which as always is short | 04:14 |
markc | that's encouraging to hear | 04:15 |
markc | I'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 |
valorie | well, KDE is a community and we all do what we can | 05:05 |
valorie | including me, a non-coding grandma | 05:05 |
BluesKaj | Hi folks | 15:32 |
hangar18 | how do i get kontact/kmail to automatically delete emails even though i've got it set to do so? | 18:20 |
hangar18 | i've got emails from over a week ago that should've been deleted by now. | 18:21 |
samlamamma | Hi, 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 |
samlamamma | Oh right, my question is: How could I solve this? | 18:55 |
BluesKaj | I just use the digital clock in the panel | 19:08 |
samlamamma | BluesKaj: Yeah, I've got the panel on autohide to save on screen space | 19:12 |
samlamamma | Also in general: Wow Kubuntu is way snappier than Ubuntu. Or more like KDE is faster than GNOME | 19:15 |
