| IrcsomeBot | <JJ_4884> Hello. Just curious if the bugfixes address Bluetooth issues | 07:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <JJ_4884> I know Bluetooth works in Ubuntu Budgie, but not sure why Kubuntu refuses to allow for my Wireless earbuds | 07:07 |
| MrSassyPants | Latest kernel/general update seemingly removed the ability to access my samsung phone's files, any info on this? | 07:38 |
| === MANIAC is now known as Guest90154 | ||
| valorie | @JJ_4884 please file a bug about this issue -- I've not heard of it before | 07:52 |
| valorie | the easy way is in the commandline: ubuntu-bug bluetooth | 07:52 |
| valorie | or so | 07:52 |
| valorie | whatever the bluetooth packagename is | 07:53 |
| valorie | MrSassyPants: in kde-connect, or what? | 07:53 |
| MrSassyPants | valorie, in the dolphin, idk what subsystems that uses precisely | 07:54 |
| valorie | last I checked, I could easily read/transfer files both ways using kde-connect | 07:54 |
| valorie | ah, mtp always fails for me for years | 07:54 |
| valorie | I have a samsung phone too | 07:54 |
| MrSassyPants | it was working fine for me until today | 07:54 |
| valorie | !info kdeconnect | 07:54 |
| ubottu | kdeconnect (source: kdeconnect): connect smartphones to your KDE Plasma Workspace. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 564 kB, installed size 3178 kB | 07:55 |
| valorie | if you don't have kdeconnect, check it out | 07:55 |
| MrSassyPants | I think I played around with kdeconnect years ago | 07:55 |
| MrSassyPants | no use for me | 07:55 |
| valorie | the only time I ever have an issue is if the phone version and laptop version get out of sync | 07:55 |
| valorie | years ago it could do much less | 07:56 |
| MrSassyPants | if I can use it as a glorified memory stick I'm fine | 07:56 |

| tombusby | hi all, when I log in, I see this: https://imgur.com/a/lnPwKr4 | 16:30 |
| tombusby | I have to select it each time. I'm not sure what software is causing this, but it'd be nice to set it and it remmber the choice | 16:30 |
| tombusby | if anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be really appreciated | 16:30 |
| tombusby | nevermind someone in #kde helped me identify it as KScreen | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I saw that :-) | 16:36 |

| Scottbert | Has anyone gotten samba sharing working? I can access windows shares just fine, but I need to share folders from my linux machine. | 16:46 |
| Scottbert | And as far as I can tell Kubuntu is unable to do this out of the box. | 16:47 |
| === MANIAC is now known as Guest23697 | ||
| Scottbert | Whenever I try to set a folder shared in dolphin it just throws out whatever settings I give it,. | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | Scottbert, try using Dolphin>Network>add folder to create a share link to the MS pc dir you want | 17:02 |
| Scottbert | BluesKaj: Accessing samba shares on other computers works fine, I want to share folders FROM this computer | 17:09 |
| Scottbert | And I can't believe this isn't basic out of the box ubuntu functionality | 17:10 |
| Scottbert | I know linuxes used to be able to do this 6 years ago no problem | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | that share link should give 2 way access between your linux pc and the windows pc folders | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | youshould be able to copy a fplder from linux to Windows as well | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | 'scuse my spelling | 17:17 |
| Scottbert | That's for adding a remote windows folder, I want to share a folder from the linux computer | 17:23 |
| Scottbert | How is kubuntu completely unable to do this | 17:42 |
| FelixErnst-M | Scottbert: I know that Nate Graham has been working on making this work by default. I don't know if he fully completed that task yet but maybe he has and it just isn't in Kubuntu yet. | 18:40 |
| FelixErnst-M | see here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T8663 | 18:42 |
| FelixErnst-M | also here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T6831 | 18:46 |
| Scottbert | oh if ONLY it were as simple as installing the samba-common package | 19:14 |
| Scottbert | I like how he says "Samba usability is critical for professional and enterprise usage." and then Ubuntu just releases with it broken anyway | 19:15 |
| Scottbert | I wonder what the Ubuntu release process is that a build without this working gets okayed for release... although more immediately important to ME is getting it working. I managed to get a horrible kludge working with that gtk-samba config tool | 19:17 |
| Scottbert | And yet there's NO help on the internet for this... Has noone needed to share a folder FROM a linux computer in the past 8 years? | 19:18 |
| FelixErnst-M | well at least you see that people are working on it :P | 19:19 |
| FelixErnst-M | but ye it really should be working out of the box no question | 19:20 |
| FelixErnst-M | I have personally never used it so I can't help you there | 19:21 |
| Scottbert | NM, the kludge APPEARS to work when I browse to localhost but I can't actually browse folders from other computers | 19:48 |
| Scottbert | So there are just no instructions? No ubuntu user anywhere needs to share files? | 19:49 |

| Neeknaim | Hello | 21:25 |
| Neeknaim | How stable is kubuntu 18.04 with backports PPA? | 21:25 |
| Neeknaim | Can this be a stable workstation for a simple user? or are there occasional crashes and/or bugs to solve? | 21:27 |
| valorie | Neeknaim: I've never had a crash | 21:32 |
| valorie | that said, I only run an LTS for 6 months then upgrade | 21:33 |
| valorie | now running 19.04 | 21:33 |
| valorie | and I always run backports | 21:33 |
| valorie | never once had a problem with backports | 21:33 |
| Neeknaim | you run the LTS for 6 months with backports PPA enabled? | 21:33 |
| Neeknaim | oh | 21:34 |
| Neeknaim | I see. cool | 21:34 |
| valorie | plus you can always do ppa-purge if you *do* have a problem | 21:34 |
| valorie | yes | 21:34 |
| valorie | !ppa-purge | 21:34 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:34 |
| Neeknaim | How many plasma updates did you have during the 6 months period of 18.04? | 21:34 |
| valorie | huh | 21:34 |
| valorie | I would have to go back to KDE.org announcements and see how many there were | 21:35 |
| valorie | https://kde.org/announcements/ | 21:36 |
| Neeknaim | an approximation would be enough. Was it around 2-3 or more like 10? | 21:36 |
| Neeknaim | you upgraded from 18.04 to 18.04 or straight to 19.04? | 21:38 |
| Neeknaim | sorry | 21:38 |
| Neeknaim | you upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10 or straight to 19.04? | 21:38 |
| Neeknaim | hmmm I guess the 6 months would hint that it was 18.10 | 21:38 |
| valorie | yes, in fact I usually upgrade to the beta | 21:40 |
| valorie | but I'm part of the team and am one of the testers | 21:41 |
| valorie | for the average user I see the value of LTS | 21:41 |
| valorie | I like having fresh applications though | 21:41 |
| Neeknaim | Yeah. I want to recommend kubuntu to a friend that uses xubuntu (which was very stable). But on the one hand, I want him to experience stability and no annoyances, and on the other, I like all the fresh stuff that plasma is showing :S | 21:44 |
| Neeknaim | one more question, is there a way to stop the automatic background updates in kubuntu? and only do them when I choose to? | 22:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <zparihar> @mia, I believe "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop" | 22:28 |
