[01:40] <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 ?
[02:20] <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?
[02:21] <markc> My /etc/sddm.conf is unchanged with an [AutoLogin] section with plasma.desktop and my username
[02:22] <markc> Any hints as to what program or package name might be this "new login manager" ?
[02:23] <markc> I've tried stopping sddm and using startx but that just gets me a X error and quits
[03:05] <valorie> spackle259: you might ask in #ubuntu which is far larger
[03:05] <valorie> this isn't a kubuntu-only issue
[03:06] <valorie> markc: you might ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:06] <valorie> not many of us running disco yet
[03:12] <valorie> we are considering using calamares but I don't think we've decided to do that or switched over yet
[03:16] <markc> Thanks valorie
[03:18] <valorie> yw; good luck
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <markc> So, as you suggest, I should lurk on those channels to get some clues. I really should do some simple plasma devel anyway
[03:32] <valorie> well then also join #plasma
[03:33] <valorie> :-)
[03:33] <valorie> and probably #kde-devel
[03:36] <valorie> right, if you lurk for awhile, eventually you'll be able to help newcomers and ask good questions too
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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 :-/
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <valorie> they might be able to fix it on the spot in the chan
[04:13] <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.
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <markc> that's encouraging to hear
[04:16] <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)
[05:05] <valorie> well, KDE is a community and we all do what we can
[05:05] <valorie> including me, a non-coding grandma
[15:32] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[18:20] <hangar18> how do i get kontact/kmail to automatically delete emails even though i've got it set to do so?
[18:21] <hangar18> i've got emails from over a week ago that should've been deleted by now.
[18:54] <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)
[18:55] <samlamamma> Oh right, my question is: How could I solve this?
[19:08] <BluesKaj> I just use the digital clock in the panel
[19:12] <samlamamma> BluesKaj: Yeah, I've got the panel on autohide to save on screen space
[19:15] <samlamamma> Also in general: Wow Kubuntu is way snappier than Ubuntu. Or more like KDE is faster than GNOME
