| CaptainWilder | I ran a command `rmmod xpad` while tryin gout a differnet module for this controller. I want to undo the process and have tried insmod xpad to add it back but it says there's no such thing. On every boot I have to manually run modprobe xpad to get it back again. how do i simply undo the rmmod i did? I have ensured that xpad is not in the blacklist | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| jacky | hmm Discover has not been able to use PackageKit for some time for me | 00:29 |
| CaptainWilder | i just don't understand why i have to run modprobe every boot | 00:29 |
| CaptainWilder | i've also tried to purge the xpad and install it again via apt-get | 00:31 |
| CaptainWilder | still every boot i have to manually run modprobe xpad | 00:31 |
| valorie | jacky: I noticed that too | 00:32 |
| valorie | CaptainWilder: dunno however #ubuntu-kernel might be able to help? | 00:33 |
| CaptainWilder | thanks ill try there | 00:33 |
| jacky | ah I think I see why | 00:35 |
| jacky | so I ran `pkmon` in the background and then started Discover | 00:35 |
| jacky | it looks like it's attempting to loop some kind of setup stuff | 00:35 |
| jacky | but it gives up | 00:35 |
| valorie | I dunno if anyone has reported it to the discover devels | 00:36 |
| valorie | I meant to but have not | 00:36 |
| jacky | https://paste.kde.org/plev1p5ti | 00:36 |
| jacky | word same imma look for a bug | 00:36 |
| valorie | sounds like you know far more than I do, so thank you! | 00:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Hi! This is the first time I have tried to transfer songs from Cantata to my phone since updating to 18.10. I keep getting an error! How can I fix this? Thanks. | 05:22 |
| valorie | what error? | 05:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I get one of two pop ups. 1. Busy 2. Error That's all it says! | 05:24 |
| valorie | hmmm | 05:25 |
| valorie | not really specific | 05:25 |
| valorie | could be mtp which still sucks | 05:25 |
| valorie | have you tried using kdeconnect to transfer | 05:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> MTP is activated. Phone says Error: failed to copy -Retry, skip, autoskip, cancel | 05:26 |
| valorie | mtp hasn't worked for me for years | 05:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I did not know you could do so with KDEconnect! | 05:26 |
| valorie | if you have a new enough one | 05:27 |
| valorie | yeah | 05:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I can send files FROM the phone. How do you send TO phone? | 05:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> with KDEconnect | 05:28 |
| valorie | from your computer the same way, right? | 05:28 |
| valorie | I've not tried it myself | 05:29 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I cannot see any 'send to device' option on the computer. Only on the phone! ? | 05:30 |
| valorie | :( | 05:30 |
| valorie | I'll try | 05:30 |
| valorie | hmm, mine's not pairing correctly | 05:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> This is awful! I cannot live without pairing music to my phone! I have restarted Cantata, MTP and the laptop! No success! 🤦♂️ | 05:34 |
| valorie | aha, app on phone needed an update | 05:34 |
| valorie | you can't use the cable? | 05:35 |
| valorie | I almost always do it that way since it's fast | 05:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ? That is what I am doing. | 05:35 |
| valorie | I just use dolphin | 05:35 |
| valorie | that's not working? | 05:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> hmm, I'll try. It usually does not work to well that way. No album covers and song info does not transfer. It makes a no named file on my phone. | 05:37 |
| valorie | :( | 05:38 |
| valorie | you can't do a whole folder? | 05:38 |
| valorie | I used to do it from within Amarok | 05:38 |
| valorie | haven't tried that for awhile | 05:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> OK. That worked but it is so inelegant and more cumbersome. Right clicking the album in Cantata was so much better! I have bragged to itunes users about how much easier this is. 😕 | 05:39 |
| valorie | did something change? | 05:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Thanks. | 05:40 |
| valorie | Cantata isn't KDE software and we provided it because there was no KDE music players that worked better | 05:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> The only change I can think of was upgrading to 18.10 from Bionic. | 05:40 |
| valorie | hmmm | 05:40 |
| valorie | I wonder if 2.3.0.ds1-2build1 is the latest | 05:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I love Cantata! I do not want to use anything else. Is not Clementine a KDE app though? | 05:41 |
| valorie | no | 05:41 |
| valorie | it's Qt, but not within KDE | 05:42 |
| valorie | and it's pretty old | 05:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Does Cantata have a Telegram forum? | 05:42 |
| valorie | kde4 like Amarok still | 05:42 |
| valorie | :( | 05:42 |
| valorie | that I don't know | 05:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Thanks Valorie. | 05:42 |
| valorie | looks like there has been a point release | 05:45 |
| valorie | I'll ask the devels to look at it | 05:45 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> OK, great! 🙏 | 06:09 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @valorie, I just made a change. I tried a different USB port. Music files now send from Cantata. Strange! | 08:04 |
| valorie | aha! | 08:04 |
| valorie | could be a powered vs unpowered or so? | 08:05 |

| sloshy | is there a fix for the blurry icon label bug? | 20:52 |
| sloshy | https://i.imgur.com/e5fSudC.png | 20:52 |
| valorie | those do look a bit mushy | 21:00 |
| valorie | unless they fix at the Plasma level or so, dunno | 21:00 |
| sloshy | i looked it up and people said its from scaling, but scaling is off on mine | 21:08 |
| sloshy | and one person said to try forcing dpi to 96 but that didnt do anything | 21:09 |
| sloshy | i think im just gonna go back to 18.04 | 21:09 |

| CaptainWilder | I'm going crazy. I'm trying to get xpad to start with linux but i always have to run modprobe xpad every boot anyway | 22:42 |
| CaptainWilder | i had previously rmmod xpad but then wanted to add it back. I've added it to the auto start modules, ive checked teh black list, ive even installed a different kernal | 22:45 |
| CaptainWilder | it just will not auto start | 22:45 |
| valorie | !xpad | 22:51 |
| valorie | nope, ubottu doesn't know | 22:51 |
| valorie | !modprobe | 22:52 |
| valorie | pffle | 22:52 |
| valorie | !info xpad | 22:52 |
| ubottu | xpad (source: xpad): sticky note application for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.0.0-1 (bionic), package size 92 kB, installed size 424 kB | 22:52 |
| valorie | did you install from source or from packages? | 22:53 |
| valorie | there is a sticky pad thing in plasma - is that acceptable? | 22:54 |
| valorie | just called notes | 22:54 |
| valorie | you install it from the hamburger menu either on your panel or desktop, depending on where you want it | 22:55 |
| CaptainWilder | thats not the xpad im talking about | 23:01 |
| CaptainWilder | xpad is a joystick driver kernel module | 23:02 |
| CaptainWilder | there is also an xpad that is a sticky note application | 23:02 |
| CaptainWilder | for controllers like xbox 360 usb | 23:02 |
| valorie | kernel module can't be installed from autostart | 23:03 |
| valorie | the kernel is already loaded | 23:03 |
| CaptainWilder | when it is installed new, xpad doesn't need to be modprobed | 23:03 |
| CaptainWilder | so if i reinstall right now the problem will be gone | 23:03 |
| valorie | so why don't you do that? | 23:04 |
| CaptainWilder | completely reinstall ubuntu | 23:04 |
| valorie | oh | 23:04 |
| CaptainWilder | because i `rmmod xpad` and am trying to get it back | 23:04 |
| valorie | that seems a bit bizarre | 23:04 |
| valorie | anyway, this is the wrong chan | 23:04 |
| CaptainWilder | it does something that i am having trouble undoing | 23:04 |
| valorie | please try #ubuntu-kernel | 23:04 |
| CaptainWilder | they sent me here | 23:04 |
| valorie | ! | 23:04 |
| CaptainWilder | said its a KDE ubuntu issue | 23:04 |
| valorie | how can that be | 23:05 |
| valorie | we don't mess with the kernel at all | 23:05 |
| valorie | in any way | 23:05 |
