[00:23] <mparillo_> LinuxTor: I open a konsole and sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
[00:26] <LinuxTor> mparillo_: Can you post screenshot of Info Center if you have the latest version of Kubuntu LTS?
[00:34] <LinuxTor> Still can't find out how to update from 18.04 to 18.04.1. Google searched to hell but still can't find anything related to Kubuntu. And this channel is near dead. My god. And the elitists here get triggered when I say Windows is way easier to use.
[00:37] <mparillo_> Oh, I mis-understood. If apt says there are no remaining updates, then you should be good to go.
[00:38] <mparillo_> I am not at a Kubuntu computer now (and I am mostly running the current development release anyway), but don't trust my screenshots anyway. On many, if not most, of my VMs, I have enabled backports.
[00:40] <LinuxTor> mparillo_: I ran the two commands & it's still showing as 18.04 in Info Center. It should be showing as 18.04.1 if it updated.
[00:44] <mparillo_> I am not certain of that. The point of 18.04.x is to have a "fresher" ISO,so you do not have to download virtually every package immediately. Sometimes there is a bugfix to the installer itself.
[00:44] <mparillo_> But what matters is the package versions, and they should be identical
[00:47] <LinuxTor> Ok so cat /etc/issue shows that I've upgraded to 18.04.1. Phew
[00:47] <LinuxTor> mparillo_: Thanks for not getting triggered & helping
[07:13] <lordievader> Good mornning
[08:41] <shanemikel> I'm having serious breakage with my nvidia/optimus/bumblebee setup upon recent 18.04 updates
[08:42] <shanemikel> I figured it was nvidia driver update, but it seems to be unique to ubuntu.. I booted manjaro and it works great out of box
[08:43] <shanemikel> pretty disappointing, as I spent a lot of time screwing around to get it working.
[08:44] <shanemikel> read some stuff online about ubuntu making major changes to the nvidia packaging setup.. now I can't find it.  anybody can confirm?
[08:53] <valorie> shanemikel: you might ask in #ubuntu, a much larger channel
[08:54] <valorie> the kub. team doesn't handle that part of the stack
 @valorie, I thought all the Nvidia problems were with Kwin in regards to Plasma. Does Bumblebee work with Primus too?
[08:57] <valorie> not exacly -- the problems were between nvidia and the kwin devel as we move to Wayland
[08:57] <valorie> I have zero nvidia problems but I don't use bumblebee
[08:58] <valorie> i don't try to run wayland yet either
 hmm. I gave up on the Nvidia. Nothing worked.
[08:58] <valorie> I think I had to set nomodeset at one point
[08:58] <valorie> but that was the only problem I ever had
 nomodeset is only if you boot to a bank screen, yes? Not for screen tearing.
[09:23] <valorie> exacly
[09:23] <valorie> exactly, I mean
[09:23] <valorie> sorry, heading to bed
[09:42] <diogenes_> Anarchotaoist, what's the issue?
 @diogenes_, No issue (outside of using the Nvidia driver) You solved this for me previously! 🙂 👍
[09:52] <diogenes_> ok
[11:45] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:18] <joeman1> Greetings
[18:02] <roboto> can anyone help with fixing qt. it seem severely broke here. no google hits have worked. removed all of qt, rebooted, reinstalled, and still broke
[18:06] <genii> A more specific example of what seems "severely broken" could be useful
[19:07] <cyrano> Hello. The model of my laptop is Inspiron 3185. My the touchpad on my laptop sometimes stops working when I close the lid or when I flip it the other way to make it a tablet. I tried checking the mouse and touchpad settings but there isn't anything useful there to help fix my problem
[21:33] <hankth89> Heya, I ran into something weird while trying to copy files from one location to another in Dolphin. I'm sort of a novice at this stuff so bear with me. I'm connected over sftp in dolphin to a remote server. I was copying 75 folders from one location on that server to another location on that server. Each folder contains 4 nearly identical text files. For whatever reason, ONE of the folders was unable to copy its contents. The
[21:33] <hankth89> folders also all have the same name with the exception of a single number, ie they are named as "In50_Ga0_O75_2_vacancy_O_57.vasp" where the 57 before .vasp is variable. In this case, all the folders EXCEPT In50_Ga0_O75_2_vacancy_O_5.vasp copied fine. I tried a second time, this time JUST trying to copy the offending folder over. That didn't work either. However when I renamed the file to "weird_folder" it copied just fine. I don't
[21:33] <hankth89> really know how to make a log or report this, or if it's even the fault of Dolphin, but I figured I'd chime in in case it's useful or if there is a good solution.
[21:35] <hankth89> I'm in on Kubuntu 18.04, plasma version 5.12.6, KDE Frameworks version 5.44.0, QT version 5.9.5, Kernel version 4.15.0-42-generic, 64 bit
[21:36] <hankth89> if it makes a difference I'm also connected via ssh to the same server, but I'm not in the same directories that I'm copying to or from or anything.
[21:37] <hankth89> I've since deleted the copied folder and recopied it succesfully a number of times afterwards, since doing the renaming and copying thing.
[21:38] <hankth89> So not really a problem, just a heads up. Let me know if this is useful or if you want some kind of log. Otherwise, thanks for making kubuntu what it is, it's pretty awesome
[21:38] <valorie> hankth89: all I can think of is perhaps there was some sort of illegal & invisible character somewhere
[21:38] <valorie> doesn't seem to have been the contents
[21:39] <valorie> just the filename
[21:39] <hankth89> possible, althought the folder names were all generated from the same script in a big batch
[21:39] <valorie> sounds like a heisenbug!
[21:39] <valorie> the hardest ones to track
[21:40] <hankth89> hahah, i like that name. Yeah who knows. Okay thank you
 Hi
 Good morning
