[07:26] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:41] <kolia> hi
[10:42] <IrcsomeBot3> <Azam Fadil-lillah> Hi
[10:42] <kolia> I've been away from Kubuntu quite a few years, and now back on the same laptop
[10:42] <kolia> however the nvidia card is not handled correctly and I have glitches
[10:42] <IrcsomeBot3> <Azam Fadil-lillah> 😅😅
[10:42] <kolia> what's the good practice nowadays to fix nividia cards?
[10:44] <kolia> it was working well few tears ago but I don't remember what I did at this time. Neither if I was using a Kubuntu 64bits already.
[10:45] <diogenes_> kolia, try to set up your rendering backend to xrender instead of opengl
[10:45] <kolia> diogenes_: thanks, googling this now
[10:46] <diogenes_> kolia, settings > hardware > display and something in ther
[10:46] <diogenes_> i forgot
[10:48] <IrcsomeBot3> <Azam Fadil-lillah> Oh.. … God … I so sorry .. … I don't know.. more
[10:48] <kolia> yep settings > monitor and display > compositor
[10:48] <diogenes_> right!
[10:49] <kolia> well, I won't shout victory yet, but glitch disappeared it seems..
[10:49] <diogenes_> log out and back and see if you get any improvements
[10:50] <kolia> i already see improvements, the weird black triangles don't appear anymore when I switch windows
[10:50] <diogenes_> then it should be fine
[10:50] <kolia> thank you very much
[10:50] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[10:50] <kolia> i thought i'd have to install some nvidia drivers
[10:51] <diogenes_> that might be a good idea too
[10:51] <kolia> that was my first try actually, found a driver on nvidia website, for linux 64 bits, for my card, but it wouldn't install correctly unfortunately
[10:52] <kolia> and I'm a bit rusty :)
[10:52] <kolia> will do for now
[10:52] <diogenes_> ok :)
[11:58] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:05] <captain__> Hi all and any. Im having HP printer problems after 18.04 to 18.10 upgrade. Can some one remind me which generic print driver i can try for a Laserjet P1102W . The HP_plugin program will not load the neccisary plugin.
[13:21] <BluesKaj> captain__, have you rerun the hardware printer app in system settings, i have to ask the obvious ;-)
[13:27] <captain__> do you mean  in "Configure your Printer"   ?
[13:28] <captain__> i have deleted and re added a bunch of times in there . it sees the printer and lables it correctly
[13:28] <captain__> i just cant find a driver that will work and the HP one wont load
[13:32] <BluesKaj> captain__, try sudo modpprobe nameofdriver
[13:33] <captain__> $ sudo modprobe nameofdriver
[13:33] <captain__> modprobe: FATAL: Module nameofdriver not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-13-generic
[13:38] <BluesKaj> the actual name of the driver is required
[13:40] <captain__> ive been going in to the  configure tab and selecting costom driver
[13:40] <captain__> then picking random things in Generic
[13:40] <captain__> trying to get anything to come out of the printer
[13:41] <captain__> if i chose the actual model number from the HP list
[13:41] <captain__> it tries to install its plug in and fails
[14:10] <BluesKaj> captain__, have you tried driver manager ?
[14:10] <captain__> no
[14:12] <captain__> it says "your computer requires no proprietary drivers"
[14:17] <captain__> HP-lip = unhappy user. i wish there was a laser printer i could just go buy and it would work across all my installs and OS's . im ready to make this laseprinter into a boat anchor
[14:19] <BluesKaj> caphave you tried the HP printer site for linux drivers ?
[14:20] <BluesKaj> captain__,^
[14:21] <captain__> i have
[14:22] <captain__> i removed all the old hp stuff and installed the latest hplip-3.18.12
[14:22] <captain__> in the end when i plug in the printer via usb it asks me to fire up hp-plugin
[14:23] <captain__> which downloads the driver prompts me for root and fails
[14:24] <captain__> gatherning the error it send up now
[14:26] <captain__> these are the versions im running https://www.outsideonline.com/2380751/sunscreen-sun-exposure-skin-cancer-science
[14:27] <captain__> nope not that
[14:27] <captain__> HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.12)
[14:27] <captain__> Plugin Download and Install Utility ver. 2.1
[14:29] <captain__> this time it actually verified its sig file which it rarely does
[14:29] <captain__> Verifying archive integrity... All good.
[14:30] <captain__> heres how it fails
[14:30] <captain__> QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: Permission denied
[14:30] <captain__> QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/captain/.config/ibus/bus
[14:30] <captain__> Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
[14:31] <captain__> IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
[14:31] <captain__> Plugin installation failed
[14:31] <captain__> error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed
[14:31] <captain__> error: Plug-in install failed.
[14:31] <captain__> Done.
[14:39] <BluesKaj> does this show the printer IP ? , lpstat -pPRINTER -l
[14:41] <BluesKaj> captain__,^
[14:48] <captain__> its connected via USB
[14:48] <captain__> lpstat: Invalid destination name in list "PRINTER".
[14:53] <BluesKaj> yeah, my HP inkjet works , but that command gives the same error here ...btw I can't find that ,config/bus/bus path eithe, so seems like it's looking in the wrong path
[14:53] <BluesKaj> either
[14:54] <captain__> could the path issue be  a kobuntu vs ubuntu issue?
[14:54] <BluesKaj> maybe the plugin you referred to is at fault here
[14:55] <BluesKaj> kubuntu vs ubuntu is possible
[14:56] <BluesKaj> dunno for sure since i haven't run gnome or unity DE in yrs
[14:59] <captain__> i see an /.config/ibus directory but i cant cd into it
[14:59] <captain__> ls
[15:02] <BluesKaj> I don't have /.config/ibus
[15:03] <BluesKaj> are you on ubuntu or kubuntu?
[15:04] <captain__> kubuntu
[15:05] <BluesKaj> odd
[15:07] <BluesKaj> did you install kubuntu or did you install ubuntu then remove gnome and install kde ?
[15:09] <captain__> ive never had gnome
[15:09] <captain__> its always been plasma
[15:10] <BluesKaj> ok
[15:11] <BluesKaj> well, I'm at a loss as to what to do atm...have to leave for bit , bbl
[15:12] <captain__> thanks for your help

[15:41] <BluesKaj> oops, vpn disconnected
[15:54] <[Relic]> 18.04 (not sure if it works different in 18.10) is there some reason fstrim never shows up as working (shows disk sleep not cpu %) in ksysguard, but you can find it in top; cause frankly it is annoying to see % cpu working but not being able to see what is using it and wondering if something is locked completely slowing your computer and looking like needing a reboot
[16:15] <BluesKaj> [Relic], sudo fstrim -a ?
[16:17] <BluesKaj> or sudo fstrim / or/ home ?
[16:20] <[Relic]> not sure, it auto activates
[16:20] <[Relic]> figured it was on a weekly or # days set up but not sure where to look
[16:23] <BluesKaj> i just run it once in a while , the new ssds supposedly don't need it anymore or it's auto
[16:24] <BluesKaj> anyway, stuff to do...bbl

[17:55] <Roey{-> BluesKaj: hello
[17:56] <Roey{-> BluesKaj: for some reason, I can no longer see my intel sound device in KDE
[17:56] <Roey{-> or even with mp
[17:56] <Roey{-> it just falls back to the speaker in my monitor
[18:05] <BluesKaj> Roey,which audio chio?
[18:07] <BluesKaj> oh intel, ok try sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
[18:08] <BluesKaj> you may need to reboot, if the the driver loads properly there won't be any output from that command
[18:09] <BluesKaj> it's an intel bug that's been around for years,  and I don't know why it hasn't been fixed
[23:03] <jcgsykes> hi, does anyone know how to get bluetooth headphones working? they connect fine but don't show up as an audio device, so I'm assuming no audio will come out of them
[23:05] <jcgsykes> can see that various bluetooth modules are loaded in pulseaudio but can't get any further than that. have loaded and unloaded them but doesn't do anything
