[00:29] <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
[00:31] <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
[00:32] <valorie> jacky: I noticed that too
[00:33] <valorie> CaptainWilder: dunno however #ubuntu-kernel might be able to help?
[00:33] <CaptainWilder> thanks ill try there
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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
[00:38] <valorie> sounds like you know far more than I do, so thank you!
 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.
[05:23] <valorie> what error?
 I get one of two pop ups. 1. Busy 2. Error That's all it says!
[05:25] <valorie> hmmm
[05:25] <valorie> not really specific
[05:25] <valorie> could be mtp which still sucks
[05:26] <valorie> have you tried using kdeconnect to transfer
 MTP is activated. Phone says Error: failed to copy -Retry, skip, autoskip, cancel
[05:26] <valorie> mtp hasn't worked for me for years
 I did not know you could do so with KDEconnect!
[05:27] <valorie> if you have a new enough one
[05:27] <valorie> yeah
 I can send files FROM the phone. How do you send TO phone?
 with KDEconnect
[05:28] <valorie> from your computer the same way, right?
[05:29] <valorie> I've not tried it myself
 I cannot see any 'send to device' option on the computer. Only on the phone! ?
[05:30] <valorie> :(
[05:30] <valorie> I'll try
[05:33] <valorie> hmm, mine's not pairing correctly
 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
[05:35] <valorie> you can't use the cable?
[05:35] <valorie> I almost always do it that way since it's fast
 ? That is what I am doing.
[05:35] <valorie> I just use dolphin
[05:35] <valorie> that's not working?
 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.
[05:38] <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
 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. 😕
[05:40] <valorie> did something change?
 Thanks.
[05:40] <valorie> Cantata isn't KDE software and we provided it because there was no KDE music players that worked better
 The only change I can think of was upgrading to 18.10 from Bionic.
[05:40] <valorie> hmmm
[05:41] <valorie> I wonder if 2.3.0.ds1-2build1 is the latest
 I love Cantata! I do not want to use anything else. Is not Clementine a KDE app though?
[05:41] <valorie> no
[05:42] <valorie> it's Qt, but not within KDE
[05:42] <valorie> and it's pretty old
 Does Cantata have a Telegram forum?
[05:42] <valorie> kde4 like Amarok still
[05:42] <valorie> :(
[05:42] <valorie> that I don't know
 Thanks Valorie.
[05:45] <valorie> looks like there has been a point release
[05:45] <valorie> I'll ask the devels to look at it
 OK, great! 🙏
 @valorie, I just made a change. I tried a different USB port. Music files now send from Cantata. Strange!
[08:04] <valorie> aha!
[08:05] <valorie> could be a powered vs unpowered or so?
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[20:52] <sloshy> is there a fix for the blurry icon label bug?
[20:52] <sloshy> https://i.imgur.com/e5fSudC.png
[21:00] <valorie> those do look a bit mushy
[21:00] <valorie> unless they fix at the Plasma level or so, dunno
[21:08] <sloshy> i looked it up and people said its from scaling, but scaling is off on mine
[21:09] <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
[22:42] <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
[22:45] <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
[22:51] <valorie> !xpad
[22:51] <valorie> nope, ubottu doesn't know
[22:52] <valorie> !modprobe
[22:52] <valorie> pffle
[22:52] <valorie> !info xpad
[22:53] <valorie> did you install from source or from packages?
[22:54] <valorie> there is a sticky pad thing in plasma - is that acceptable?
[22:54] <valorie> just called notes
[22:55] <valorie> you install it from the hamburger menu either on your panel or desktop, depending on where you want it
[23:01] <CaptainWilder> thats not the xpad im talking about
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <valorie> how can that be
[23:05] <valorie> we don't mess with the kernel at all
[23:05] <valorie> in any way
