[00:36] <mparillo> It sounds as if you are trying to join an Active Directory compatible domain?
[03:54] <duckx0r> Does anyone else have the problem in Libreoffice after upgrading from 18.04 to 18.10 that all of the icons flicker when you hover your mouse over them?
 no flicker here....
[04:00] <duckx0r> I'm going to try another desktop environment to see if it's a KDE thing or something else.
[04:14] <duckx0r> Ok, looks like the flickering icons only happens for me in KDE, not in other desktop environments. I also tried a new user profile and I still see flickering icons. Anyone have any idea how I could debug this?

[06:51] <iomari> greetings, how can I make shortcuts for an app that will toggle minimize/maximize to give a yakuake like effect?
[06:59] <valorie> iomari: nice question
[06:59] <valorie> I've never heard of anything like that
[06:59] <valorie> <3 yakuake
[07:00] <iomari> valorie: you never heard of yakuake?
[07:00] <valorie> yes, it's one of my favorite applications
[07:00] <valorie> use it daily
[07:01] <iomari> ok. so I thought that retraction scheme would be easy to duplicate.
[07:01] <valorie> but I haven't heard of a way to make other applications work like that
[07:01] <valorie> they might know more in #kde-devel
[07:01] <iomari> OK thanks
[07:01] <valorie> however, euro-working hours are best
[07:02] <valorie> lots of the devels are heading to brussels this weekend
[07:02] <iomari> I C
[07:03] <valorie> it's FOSDEM
[07:04] <iomari> Wish I was going. :-(
[07:06] <valorie> I live in the Seattle area
[07:06] <valorie> that's a very long trip from here
[07:10] <iomari> step one: how can I keep an app from being launched twice? A second attemp will just bring up the already lauched instance..
[07:11] <valorie> most apps can't be launched twice
[07:11] <valorie> as you say, it just brings the already-running instance to the front
[07:11] <iomari> terminal apps can.
[07:12] <iomari> like terminology
[07:12] <valorie> ah, non-KDE applications
[07:12] <iomari> yes
[07:12] <valorie> Kwin nor plasma has any control over them
[07:12] <valorie> afaik
[07:13] <iomari> I've been able to set a shortcut to launch it.
[07:13] <valorie> sure
[07:13] <valorie> I'm not getting your point
[07:13] <valorie> you can pin any app
[07:14] <iomari> next would be a shortcut to minimize it
[07:14] <valorie> no need to make a special shortcut
[07:14] <valorie> hmmm
[07:15] <valorie> you don't want the global shortcut?
[07:15] <iomari> it's really a shame because I've been bouncing around with various retractable launchers, yakuake, guake, tilda, etc but I like terminology the most but .............
[07:16] <valorie> there are custom shortcuts, and global ones
[07:16] <iomari> I've been playing with them but  can't find what I need
[07:16] <valorie> if you type shortcuts in krunner (alt+space) you can see them both
[07:17] <iomari> are there any third party window controllers
[07:17] <valorie> some special kwin settings might work for you
[07:17] <valorie> right-click in the top bar of any window
[07:17] <valorie> More actions.....
[07:18] <iomari> I've dont that and I've configure what look like should work but nothing happens.
[07:18] <valorie> loads of ways to configure so many things
[07:19] <iomari> tell me about it. I've been on it for quite some time.
[07:19] <valorie> hmm, you might want #plasma then instead of #kde-devel
[07:19] <valorie> again, many devels are gone this weekend
[07:20] <iomari> I didnt know plasma had a channel. Thanks
[07:24] <valorie> best of luck making what you want, happen!
[13:53] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[13:54] <Alexfrench> hey
[13:56] <mavd> on a fresh kubuntu install with proprietary nvidia drivers, setting my resolution to 1920x1080 requires me to adjust underscan. With underscan on, my panel is offscreen, but my cursor doesn't go offscreen at all. any pointers?
[13:59] <BluesKaj> mavd, what kind of monitor do you use?
[14:04] <mavd> a TV
[14:08] <BluesKaj> check the screen format
[14:09] <mavd> the format?
[14:11] <BluesKaj> yes most TVs have screeen format setting like full or zoom etc
[14:13] <BluesKaj> I also use my TV as a monitor and the default setting is "full"
[14:13] <BluesKaj> there should be a format button on the remote
[14:14] <Alexfrench> maybe you have to set hsync and vsync on your tv
[14:14] <Alexfrench> in your tv settings first
[14:21] <mavd> I can't seem to find the remote, and digging through the menus I couldn't find either of those
[14:26] <Alexfrench> are there buttons on your tv ?
[14:26] <Alexfrench> on the left side or in the bottom ?
[14:28] <mavd> yeah, that's how I was digging the menus
[14:29] <Alexfrench> weird
[14:39] <BluesKaj> check under the sofa cushions :-)
[14:40] <Alexfrench> lol
[14:40] <Alexfrench> ask to the kids if you have some lol
[14:40] <Alexfrench> or maybe the cat ?
[15:05] <mavd> I'll keep searching for the remote. thanks for the help so far tho
[15:06] <Alexfrench> sorry if i can't help more
[15:08] <mavd> it's aight
[19:27] <JMichaelX> so, i my girlfriend just tried to use Cantata on her laptop, and could get no audio output. Audio seems to work in everything else. So, I went to my desktop, and discovered that I have the same issue there. Would anyone have a suggestion?
[19:33] <BluesKaj> JMichaelX, yes, use a different player. i have the same issue so i don't bother with it . There are other players like amarok and vlc etc
[19:53] <JMichaelX> BluesKaj: since when do Amarok and vlc play mpd streams?
[19:53] <Alexfrench> or mandarine
[19:54] <BluesKaj> JMichaelX, you didn't mention mpd
[19:54] <JMichaelX> BluesKaj: i was under the impression that Cantata was largely an mpd client. maybe that isn't the case
[19:59] <Alexfrench> http://sorrodje.alter-it.org/index.php?article36/serveur-de-musique-ubuntu-mpd-alsa
[20:02] <JMichaelX> Alexfrench: that article is a bit dated. Cantata was working fine for me, before upgrading to 18.04 several months ago. i wonder if it possibly works in 18.10
[20:03] <Alexfrench> ah ok sorry
[20:04] <Alexfrench> you only did an update and it stop working ??
[20:07] <BluesKaj> JMichaelX, I removed cantata and reinstalled it, for some reason it works now ..gonna check the logs
[20:08] <Alexfrench> maybe path files had changed
[20:09] <JMichaelX> BluesKaj: wow, i'll also give that a shot
[20:09] <BluesKaj> the syslog didn't show much except that the daemon activated
[20:15] <JMichaelX> BluesKaj: i tried that, multiple times, but it didn't work for m
[20:15] <JMichaelX> me*
[20:16] <JMichaelX> are you using 1.04?
[20:16] <JMichaelX> 18.04*
[20:17] <JMichaelX> that is a shame. i don't know of any other decent qt mpd clients
[20:40] <BluesKaj> JMichaelX, I'm using the Kubuntu 19,04 dev OS, and i did a search for mpd clients for linux and cantata is only qt client i could find, there are others here, but only cantata is listed as qt. https://www.musicpd.org/clients/
[21:03] <JMichaelX> i am now trying to play music using ncmcpp, a command line mpd client, and that is not working, either
