LINKSWORD2Hey everybody.01:07
LINKSWORD2A while back, I used to have a customized display for the digital clock widget on my taskbar. (Admittedly, it was Kubuntu 10.04. but still.) I wanted to change the font color for just the clock widget, if possible.01:09
LINKSWORD2Any suggestions?01:22

Korrorahello everyone,may i ask a question if possible?(it can be a stupid one im sorry if it is )12:31
Korrorahelp help help :D please12:33
BluesKaj!ask | Korrora12:36
ubottuKorrora: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience12:36
Korroraim a new ssd user(it is adata su650 model one),i have a 4gb ram on my laptop;shall i create a swap or i shall not?on web some says create some says it will kill lifespan of ssd and dont create you dont need.Anyone have any information about that?And thank you already :)12:38
BluesKajKorrora, this is a swap file, not a partition, but it will work for you, https://linuxize.com/post/create-a-linux-swap-file/12:42
Korroraso i will create first an fat32 for grub efi and ext4 for root partition,after installation completes i will login and create that file on terminal,am i right BluesKaj?12:45
BluesKajKorrora, best to just set the whole drive to gpt partition table then install kubuntu using the guided method at partitioning, the installer will take care of formatting and installing the efi boot partition and the / partition for kubuntu...there's no need to preformat the ssd to ext412:49
BluesKajthen after installation  create the swap file, if you think you need it12:50
Korrorai dont know if i need it with 4gb ram :D and i dont want to kill ssd lifespan with swap partition,but if you say swap file doesnt effect lifespan and can be useful i can create idk :D i hate to being newbie to something12:52
BluesKajKorrora, well, you could always buy some more RAM , it's not expaensive anymore especially if buy another 4GB12:55
BluesKajif you have room for it12:56
Korrorait is actually damn expensive in the place where  i live BlusKaj :) i just want to use best with what i have, i wouldnt switch to ssd if my hdd wouldnt fail,desperate stupid situation12:57
Korrorai have an empty slot but possibly will stay empty for years or untill laptop dies i guess unfortunately :/  :D12:57
BluesKajssds are more efficient than hdds so 4GB Ram might be enough12:58
BluesKajas long as you keep your desktop activity fairly lean12:58
Korroraso i dont have to create a swap partition,but in th future i can create a swap file if i need it really,without reinstalling system etc. right? :)13:02
BluesKajyes13:02
Korroraim sorry BlusKaj if im giving you a headache with my questions :/ :D13:02
BluesKajno problem Korrora , we're here to help :-)13:03
Korrorathank you so much BluesKaj, i will do what you said,i hope manjaro budgie doesnt give me a headache also :D13:03
Korrorai wish you have a nice day,and thank you soooooo much :)13:03
Korroraif it gives i will go for kubuntu,im just scared if kde eats lots of ram :/ its a gorgeous De :/13:04
BluesKajif you already have a linux install on that machine , my suggestion will wipe it of the the drive13:05
BluesKajoff13:05
Korroraits a fresh ssd inside unopened package :) one last question may i ask please?13:06
BluesKajKorrora, where do yo have manjaro installed ?13:06
Korrorai dont have i just have kubuntu 18.04 image and manjaro budgie image :)13:06
BluesKajok13:06
Korrorai will install one of them but i dont know if my laptop can handle it,13:07
BluesKajdunno much about budgie, but KDE/Plasma is probly a bit more memory hungry13:08
Korrorai want kde but dont know if it uses lots of ram,someone told me i can try manjaro budgie so i downloaded it, i was using ubuntu with love for years but after they switched gnome from unity,i felt like strange and kept hopping distros :/13:08
Korroracan you tell me how many ram your system uses with only one firefox tab open with no other programs?13:09
BluesKajI ran kde/plasma with 4GB Ram with a swap file for years ,,, it was fine13:09
Korrorayou ran it without problem? i will definitely go for kde then :D kde has that global menu thing from ubuntu unity and i love that thing :) im coming kubuntu!13:10
BluesKajKorrora, it's using 1GB with Konversation and FF open with one tab13:10
Korrorafair enough i guess, i will still have 2.74 gb free ram13:12
BluesKajKorrora, there are many ways to trim kubuntu daemons from running at the same time as well13:13
BluesKajKorrora, come back here after installing and I'll give a soeme easy suggestions13:14
Korrorakilling services? i dont know how to choose them because kde apps are named so closely :D i am scared to hurt system by killing something,but i would be happy to try it if you have a webpage shows that :)13:14
Korroraohh okay it would be great :D13:14
BluesKajI'll be around for another 4hrs or so13:15
Korroraim switching to windows 10+ kubuntu installations,see you after that then BluesKaj :) THANK YOU sooooooo much :)13:15
BluesKajw10 as well?13:16
BluesKajKorrora, hope w10 is ona diffeent drive13:17
Korrorai thought i can use it for light gaming13:18
BluesKajon a different drive13:18
soonAm I the only one, who can not connect to an external bluettooth device as regular user? ...must be root13:18
soon...and my regular user is part of the dialout and tty groups13:18
Korrorai just have one 240gb ssd and do other slots :/ is it bad to install them side by side ?13:18
BluesKajthat complicates things, dual booting off the same drive with windows is not as simple13:20
BluesKajw10 should ber installed first13:21
Korroraohhh okay,windows stupidity first then,then kubuntu i see13:22
BluesKajthast's if they're installing on the same drive13:26
Korroraunfortunately they are :D but i hope i will see Evil one only for gaming i hope :) i hope kubuntu goes as good as ald ubuntu13:30
Korroraold*13:30
Korrorabefore my hdd died i tried manjaro deepin and gnome for a little time,bad thing is system was going to unstable quickly after some updates,and in ubuntu it was never a thing for me,so im kinda scared rolling stuff :D13:31

Greenfrogi'm having a reboot problem, if i reboot the external usb drive is not recognized, but if i disconnect the usb then reconnect it's there and usable, any ideas?15:31
Greenfrogit isnt a mount issue15:32
Greenfrogits just mostly off then on again15:32
Greenfrogodd behavior15:33
Greenfrogmostly off after reboot15:33
Greenfrogthe drive has been formated ext4 and files loaded in fact i have variety using the background pics there15:35
Greenfrogext415:36
Greenfrogdo you think this might be a bug?15:37
tomreynGreenfrog: hmm, could be many things. this might happen due to power saving issues, or due to firmware bugs, or due to insufficient power supply by the usb controller16:06
tomreynGreenfrog: check your system journal (or post it), it may have further hints on it.16:07
Greenfrogok thanks i'll try16:07
Greenfroghow do i check my system journal?16:08
tomreynGreenfrog: i'll tell you if you tell me which kubuntu version you're running16:09
Greenfrog18.0416:10
tomreynGreenfrog: i keep switching between different applications and irc channels. if you'd like more timely responses please prefix what you'll say by my nickname (tomreyn).16:11
tomreynGreenfrog: you can run this to post your journal online: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 999916:11
tomreynor just the first part to inspect it on your computer16:11
Greenfrogok done that before16:12
Greenfroghttps://termbin.com/ri5d16:12
Greenfrogwow thats all gobled gook to me16:13
Greenfrogit seems odd that i cant reboot and have the exernal dirve recognized but can disconnect the drive then reconnect and everything is fine16:15
Greenfrogbut ok look it over16:16
Greenfrogi'd appreciate any help :)16:16
Greenfrogi'm new to kubuntu so the repair aspects is dizzying16:19
tomreynGreenfrog: there's an issue with USB device 2-2 during USB port scan / device enumeration:    Apr 15 07:10:23 greenfrog-1 kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error 1816:21
tomreynif you'll look at this and following lines this shows the issue.16:21
Greenfrogso is there a fix?16:22
tomreyntry a different usb port and reboot, i guess16:22
Greenfrogok i can look at the log but then what?16:22
Greenfrogi have and no change16:22
tomreyn6-2 also experiences problems16:23
Greenfrogso i'm not sure what you mean. what do i do next?16:24
Greenfrogthis is way beyond my tech knowledge16:24
tomreynif swapping the usb ports does not help, also trying to swap to the other side of the computer, then there is probably not much you can do16:25
tomreynalso, this hardware is way beyond its planned lifetime.16:26
tomreynand suffers from unfixable hardware security issues16:26
Greenfrogok the other side is taken by triplehead2go so  i can try that16:27
Greenfrogso if not would you consider that a bug report?16:28
Alexfrenchhello16:28
Alexfrenchsorry you have hardware problems ?16:28
tomreynGreenfrog: probably not.16:28
Greenfrogwhat is it then?16:28
tomreynmy guess is on hardware issues16:29
Greenfrogya maybe16:29
tomreynpower supplies age, capacitors age16:29
tomreynthis is a 12yo platform16:29
Greenfrogok thanks for the reply16:29

oysteinsHow can I debug a non-responding Kickoff→ Turn off→ Turn off?18:50
oysteinsBasically that Kickoff's shutdown feature sometimes does nothing.18:50
oysteinsnvm, it happened because okular was requesting permission to close tabs. Closing okular fixes issue.18:59
