[00:08] <sloshy> im running 18.04 and when i try to copy a menu entry to the desktop it makes a link instead
[00:09] <sloshy> even though i choose "copy" in the context menu
[00:09] <valorie> copy a menu item to the desktop?
[00:09] <valorie> unsure what you are referring to
[00:09] <valorie> which menu?
[00:11] <valorie> sloshy: ^^
[00:14] <sloshy> the main menu
[00:14] <sloshy> the start menu
[00:15] <sloshy> in like every other version of plasma i could copy a menu item and it would create a copy of the .desktop file in the desktop folder
[00:15] <sloshy> but now it only creates a link
[00:15] <sloshy> even if i choose copy
[00:15] <sloshy> i think its a bug
[00:15] <sloshy> this is 5.12.6
[00:16] <valorie> well, I'm in 18.10 and it's fixed
[00:16] <valorie> I just copied to desktop Kate
[00:17] <valorie> and I get a nice little icon and label
[00:17] <valorie> click and it opens Kate
[00:18] <valorie> I have plasma 5.14.4
[00:18] <sloshy> yeah it worked in 18.10 but i went back to 18.04 because i was having other issues
[00:18] <sloshy> and i prefer to stick with lts releases anyway
[00:18] <valorie> sure
[00:19] <valorie> that should be an LTS of plasma as well
[00:19] <sloshy> yeah
[00:19] <valorie> I never put anything on the desktop
[00:19] <valorie> just pin to the panel
[00:20] <sloshy> yeah if i copy the menu entry to desktop, it creates a broken symlink to ../insertnamehere.desktop
[00:20] <sloshy> weird
[00:20] <valorie> but you can file a bug at bugs.kde.org on your version of plasma
[00:21] <valorie> and hopefully they will fix by next dot release
[00:21] <valorie> because you do get updates in those
[00:23] <sloshy> what part of kde would this be
[00:23] <sloshy> just plasma-desktop?
[00:23] <valorie> yes
[00:23] <sloshy> oh, probably not
[00:23] <valorie> ?
[00:23] <sloshy> idk if it will be fixed in lts
[00:23] <valorie> if you don't file a bug report, probably not
[00:24] <valorie> if you do, maybe
[00:24] <valorie> sounds like a junior job for some beginner
[00:24] <valorie> broken links shouldn't be hard to fix
[00:24]  * valorie is no coder
[00:26] <valorie> it's an LTS of plasma so....
[00:26] <valorie> that's why we chose it for the LTS
[00:28] <valorie> <---- laundry
[00:28] <valorie> bbl
[00:44] <ccb0x45> hey, I would really like to try wayland plasma on kubuntu, but when I try to start it, it just goes to a black screen
[00:44] <ccb0x45> any way to tell whats wrong?
[00:44] <ccb0x45> I install plasma-workspace-wayland and click the option in lightdm.... though it doesn't say Plasma(Wayland) it just says Plasma
[00:45] <ccb0x45> using AMD drivers
[00:45] <valorie> lightdm?
[00:45] <valorie> we use sddm
[00:46] <valorie> I have nvidia, so not gonna test
[00:46] <valorie> ccb0x45: what version of kubuntu?
[00:46] <ccb0x45> yea I have lightdm, I had switch that a while back
[00:46] <ccb0x45> but the dm shouldn't matter right?
[00:46] <valorie> no clue, honestly
[00:47] <valorie> since I've been unable to test
[00:47] <valorie> thanks, nvidia
[00:47] <valorie> although I hear that they are working with us again
[01:25] <[Relic]> is the color selector fixed in 18.10?
[02:05] <valorie> [Relic]: was it broken?
[02:05]  * valorie never used the color selector
[02:16] <[Relic]> it would only fill the first position, so you had to "add" the color twice to get it to go to the next spot or every time you came back to it it was the last color you added only
[02:17] <[Relic]> of course saving a color theme twice and have it be overwritten by something else was much more annoying, especially since the color picker doesn't save the colors properly

[08:36] <eeos> hi everybody! Since the last update of the gdal library I cannot install qgis anymore ....
[08:37] <acheronuk> eeos: what release is this? and are the packages from the main archive or a ppa?
 is there a way to see "transfer rate of copying or moving files" in plasma or dolphine???

[12:59] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:04] <_13LACK_> BluesKaj: Hi!
[13:04] <BluesKaj> hi _13LACK_
[22:59] <jubo2> y0 ... I put a Kubuntu 18.04.1 Kubuntu USB stick onto a new PC
[22:59] <jubo2> it gives alternatives to 1. book Kubunut 2. OEM install and 3. check disk
[23:00] <jubo2> If I select "check disk" it checks the USB and reports that "Check finished: errors found in 1 files!", but does not give any possibility to see which file it thinks is corrupt
[23:01] <jubo2> I did redownload the .iso file and reburn it to the stick, but I still get the same error when I check the disk
[23:01] <jubo2> What is going on?
[23:11] <valorie> "Book" Kubuntu?
[23:12] <valorie> it should allow you to run a live session or install
[23:12] <valorie> OEM install is always an option although I wouldn't advise it unless you want to do bulk installs
[23:12] <valorie> no clue about check disk
[23:52] <Dragnslcr> jubo2- run md5 or sha checksum on the .iso file, make sure it matches the list from the Ubuntu website
[23:54] <Dragnslcr> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/18.04.1/release/ has checksum files for md5, sha1, and sha256
[23:58] <valorie> !md5
