| IrcsomeBot | <purpleavenger> ok, having a brain fart here - upgraded from 18.04 LTS->18.10->19.04, now meta/super key doesn't open the application launcher - I know I fixed this before, but can't find or remember how to fix it (Settings->workspace->shortcuts->global shortcuts->plasma->activate app launcher widget won't take just meta/super) | 01:42 |
|---|---|---|
| dax | give it alt-f1 instead, for some reason it'll also recognize super if you do that | 01:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <purpleavenger> it already has Alt-F1 there for global - and Alt-F1 works | 01:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <purpleavenger> will change and change back | 01:44 |
| dax | i configured it in a different place: right-click widget -> Configure Application Launcher -> Keyboard shortcuts. dunno if that makes any difference | 01:44 |
| dax | but Super definitely didn't work before I did Alt-F1, and definitely did after | 01:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <purpleavenger> either that or logout+login did it - thanks! | 02:03 |
| dax | you're welcome :) | 02:05 |

| larsih | I'm having problems running video in vlc and other video players. The video runs for a few seconds and then the picture freezes. If I pause and restart it works again for a few seconds | 18:39 |

| diogenes_ | larsih, you there? | 19:42 |
| larsih | diogenes_: yes I am here | 19:49 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, ok run in terminal: ls /etc/X11/ | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:50 |
| diogenes_ | share here the link you gonna get in terminal | 19:50 |
| larsih | diogenes_: https://termbin.com/3uea | 19:51 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, before we start, open the driver manager and see if there is no additional driver for your graphics. | 19:52 |
| larsih | diogenes_: ok. The driver manager says it is collecting information about my system. It's taking a while | 19:53 |
| diogenes_ | ok no problem. | 19:54 |
| larsih | diogenes_: it states that my computer requires no proprietary drivers | 19:57 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, ok close that and in terminal run: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 19:58 |
| diogenes_ | tell me when done | 19:58 |
| larsih | diogenes_: done | 19:59 |
| diogenes_ | ok now open this link and copy that command into the terminal and hit enter: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SJcdR8xvqk/ | 19:59 |
| diogenes_ | make sure you copy it entirely | 19:59 |
| larsih | diogenes_: ok | 20:00 |
| diogenes_ | tell me when done | 20:00 |
| larsih | diogenes_: done | 20:01 |
| diogenes_ | ok now run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:01 |
| diogenes_ | share the link here | 20:01 |
| larsih | https://termbin.com/9b0h | 20:02 |
| diogenes_ | ok looks good, before you restart, write down on a paper the following command" | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 20:03 |
| larsih | ok | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | NOT in terminal | 20:03 |
| larsih | got ya | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | on a paper because | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | if after reboot you gonna be welcomed with a blinking cursor and black screen | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | you press ctrl+alt+f1/2/3 whichever | 20:04 |
| diogenes_ | enter your login name and passwort | 20:04 |
| diogenes_ | and enter this command | 20:04 |
| diogenes_ | and enter: systemctl reboot | 20:04 |
| diogenes_ | that's all, now you can reboot and see if this helps and come back with a feedback. | 20:04 |
| larsih | ok, I'm done wrinting it down on paper | 20:05 |
| diogenes_ | good | 20:05 |
| larsih | diogenes_: done rebooting and I entered the command | 20:14 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, which means you got a black screen? | 20:15 |
| diogenes_ | or it rebooted fine? | 20:15 |
| larsih | it rebooted fine | 20:15 |
| diogenes_ | so what command have you entered? | 20:16 |
| larsih | sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 20:16 |
| diogenes_ | :) when? after reboot? | 20:16 |
| larsih | I rebooted, entered ctrl alt f2, logged in, typed the command, and did the systemctrl reboot | 20:17 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, you was meant to do that operation ONLY in case it didn't boot correctly :) | 20:18 |
| diogenes_ | ok now let's do things from the beginning | 20:18 |
| larsih | diogenes_: oh | 20:19 |
| larsih | ooops | 20:19 |
| diogenes_ | run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:19 |
| diogenes_ | share | 20:19 |
| larsih | I guess I need to make the directory again | 20:20 |
| diogenes_ | sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 20:21 |
| diogenes_ | then | 20:21 |
| diogenes_ | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SJcdR8xvqk/ | 20:21 |
| diogenes_ | then | 20:21 |
| diogenes_ | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:21 |
| diogenes_ | share | 20:21 |
| larsih | diogenes_: https://termbin.com/sl15 | 20:24 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, ok reboot now and after reboot don't enter any command but test your video playback and come back here with a feedback. | 20:25 |
| larsih | diogenes_: ok, rebooting | 20:25 |
| larsih | diogenes_: rebooted and tested the video play and it is the same | 20:29 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, ok let's try a few more tricks | 20:30 |
| larsih | diogenes_: ok | 20:30 |
| diogenes_ | run: sudo apt update | 20:30 |
| diogenes_ | after that run: sudo apt install libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg | 20:30 |
| diogenes_ | after that: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:30 |
| diogenes_ | when it's all installed, try the video again | 20:31 |
| larsih | diogenes_: rebooting since video replay doesn't work at all. Brb | 20:37 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 20:37 |
| larsih | diogenes_: it didn't work. In addition I can now only open a video one time. Then I need to reboot to be able to open a video again | 20:42 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, what player do you use? | 20:43 |
| larsih | diogenes_: vlc. I have tried other players (in 18.04) with the same problems though | 20:43 |
| diogenes_ | larsih, have you tried mpv? | 20:44 |
| larsih | diogenes_: I will try that one out | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | sudo apt install mpv mplayer | 20:45 |
| diogenes_ | try them both | 20:45 |
| larsih | diogenes_: mpv seems to work. It is "laggy" but that's 100% better than the video freezing up | 20:48 |
| diogenes_ | mpv is good. | 20:49 |
| larsih | mplayer won't start. But oh well, got mpv to run | 20:50 |
| larsih | diogenes_: think we can call this a win, thank you sir :) | 20:50 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome. | 20:51 |

I didn't find any kde related dotfiles in their home folder (the computer is running Ubuntu 18.04, not Kubuntu). | 21:50 |
