[04:03] <Silkerdax> is this the correct place to ask questions about kubuntu?
 yes
 Not too many active people at the moment (obviously).
[04:26] <Silkerdax> I just can't figure out how to change mouse speed/sensitivity/resolution on kubuntu 18.04, most of the stuff I found while searching talk about tweaking xorg conf files... but that shouldnt make any sense? doesnt Wayland in kubuntu 18.04 replace xorg for screen and input?
 I assume the system settings-> Input ->   were not sufficient in controlling your mouse speed?
 (Photo, 1166x939) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Q18yhLoE/file_15556.jpg I don't have an 18.04 install and I don't recall if 18.04 had any menu issues that failed to expose all of the libinput controls.  Does your Mouse panel look like this?
[04:35] <Silkerdax> Looks very different over here, definitely no pointer slider to be seen.. is that screenshot 19.04?
 Yes, that 19.04.
 By chance, you may see improvement if you install backports ppa. Are you familiar with backports?
[04:40] <Silkerdax> I'm not very used to the concept of backports, I have mostly stuck with LTS releases. Do you think it's possible to get that new settings frontend from 19.04 down to my 18.04 via the backports ppa?
[04:42] <Silkerdax> I'm not sure how the proper way of using a backports repository is.. am I supposed to hand pick packages to install or do a apt-get upgrade and get everything from the ppa? I'd expect the latter to induce lots of breakage, no?
 Backports allows you to keep 18.04, but install some of the newer KDE software.  It's not always feasable to push all new features into backports, so you will never have feature parity with the latest releases.  But, backports will fix bugs and add some of the newer KDE apps/frameworks/plasma.
 Backports details can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
 Essentially, in a terminal run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
 then run: sudo apt-get update
 As with any PPA, if they change something you do not like, use ppa-purge to remove.
 Finally, run: sudo apt full-upgrade
 If needed, you can install ppa-purge (sudo apt install ppa-purge) as mentioned on the backports page.
[04:55] <Silkerdax> Thanks, I'm going to give backports a try... if I still can't figure out how to fix the mouse speed issue, where would should I start looking into? If it's just 18.04 failing to expose some libinput controls, how would I go about configuring it via the terminal instead? Does xinput even come into play?
 In 18.04, I think input is managed by libinput and I don't recall if you can override/replace/augment libinput with xinput.  My mice have DPI buttons built in, so I have not paid much attention to mouse controls over the last few releases.  I do know that touchpad control is much  improved in the latest plasma releases, so if you have a laptop, updating to 19.04 is almost mandatory if you need better touchpad management.
 Also, new kernerls in 18.10/19.04 have better libinput drivers (espcially for touchpads-palm detection is excellent now).
 If backports does not enable mouse speed control.  You could live boot a 19.04 installation to see if the latest plasma address the mouse speed issue.  This might help you decide if you want/need to give up LTS for more updated features.
 Obviously, I prefer the latter.
[05:08] <Silkerdax> Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
[05:08] <Silkerdax> I was hoping I could settle in a distro for multiple years, everytime I install a new one I have to spend a couple days troubleshooting issues with my hardware
 Signing off for now.... maybe someone who has encountered/fixed a similar issues will chime in...
 Fully understand not wanting to fight the hw issues.  That's why I recomend trying the live boot as it does not change your install and you can preview it on your exact hw.
 Good night for now.
[05:11] <Silkerdax> Thanks for the help
[05:42] <aiena> DO I need to restart the whole system to test new xorg conf settings or will a reboot sufice
[05:43] <aiena> I am trying to setup y wacom tab configs its working partially
[05:43] <aiena> reboot takes a long time
[05:43] <aiena> i mean will a logout and login suffice
[05:52] <valorie> login and logout is fine for kde stuff, but for xorg you will need to reboot
[07:34] <lordievader> Good morning
 Hello all! I bought a mini pc and install Kubuntu on it. The wifi does not work though. I re-installed it with an ethernet cable connected and clicked 3rd party extras. Still no wifi! From what I can make out online it seems to have Realtek wifi. I installed a ppa from 2016 but still no wifi! Any suggestions? Thanks.
 could you please give us a pastebin of the output of  lspci ?

 @Jussi> <Anarchotaoist, sorry. I have only used pastebin once quite a while ago. Does the photo suffice? Thanks.
 Photo is fine, but see this for pastebin help:
[09:56] <Jussi> !pastebin
 ok. Thanks.
 bit strange, I dont see the wifi card there - perhaps if you also give us lsusb
 (Photo, 1280x333) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/0bYtJPOw/file_15559.jpg
 wifi was working on the windows install - before I installed Linux. ??
