[06:04] <lordievader> Good morning
 Hello. Just curious if the bugfixes address Bluetooth issues
 I know Bluetooth works in Ubuntu Budgie, but not sure why Kubuntu refuses to allow for my Wireless earbuds
[07:38] <MrSassyPants> Latest kernel/general update seemingly removed the ability to access my samsung phone's files, any info on this?
[07:52] <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
[07:53] <valorie> whatever the bluetooth packagename is
[07:53] <valorie> MrSassyPants: in kde-connect, or what?
[07:54] <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
[07:55] <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
[07:56] <valorie> years ago it could do much less
[07:56] <MrSassyPants> if I can use it as a glorified memory stick I'm fine
[11:01] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:09] <Alabalistic> HI
[16:30] <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
[16:34] <tombusby> nevermind someone in #kde helped me identify it as KScreen
[16:36] <BluesKaj> yeah, I saw that :-)
[16:46] <Scottbert> Has anyone gotten samba sharing working? I can access windows shares just fine, but I need to share folders from my linux machine.
[16:47] <Scottbert> And as far as I can tell Kubuntu is unable to do this out of the box.
[16:47] <Scottbert> Whenever I try to set a folder shared in dolphin it just throws out whatever settings I give it,.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> Scottbert, try using Dolphin>Network>add folder to create a share link to the MS pc dir you want
[17:09] <Scottbert> BluesKaj: Accessing samba shares on other computers works fine, I want to share folders FROM this computer
[17:10] <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
[17:15] <BluesKaj> that share link should give 2 way access between your linux pc and the windows pc folders
[17:17] <BluesKaj> youshould be able to copy a fplder from linux to Windows as well
[17:17] <BluesKaj> 'scuse my spelling
[17:23] <Scottbert> That's for adding a remote windows folder, I want to share a folder from the linux computer
[17:42] <Scottbert> How is kubuntu completely unable to do this
[18:40] <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.
[18:42] <FelixErnst-M> see here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T8663
[18:46] <FelixErnst-M> also here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T6831
[19:14] <Scottbert> oh if ONLY it were as simple as installing the samba-common package
[19:15] <Scottbert> I like how he says "Samba usability is critical for professional and enterprise usage." and then Ubuntu just releases with it broken anyway
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <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?
[19:19] <FelixErnst-M> well at least you see that people are working on it :P
[19:20] <FelixErnst-M> but ye it really should be working out of the box no question
[19:21] <FelixErnst-M> I have personally never used it so I can't help you there
[19:48] <Scottbert> NM, the kludge APPEARS to work when I browse to localhost but I can't actually browse folders from other computers
[19:49] <Scottbert> So there are just no instructions? No ubuntu user anywhere needs to share files?
[21:25] <Neeknaim> Hello
[21:25] <Neeknaim> How stable is kubuntu 18.04 with backports PPA?
[21:27] <Neeknaim> Can this be a stable workstation for a simple user? or are there occasional crashes and/or bugs to solve?
[21:32] <valorie> Neeknaim: I've never had a crash
[21:33] <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?
[21:34] <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] <Neeknaim> How many plasma updates did you have during the 6 months period of 18.04?
[21:34] <valorie> huh
[21:35] <valorie> I would have to go back to KDE.org announcements and see how many there were
[21:36] <valorie> https://kde.org/announcements/
[21:36] <Neeknaim> an approximation would be enough. Was it around 2-3 or more like 10?
[21:38] <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
[21:40] <valorie> yes, in fact I usually upgrade to the beta
[21:41] <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
[21:44] <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
[22:15] <Neeknaim> one more question, is there a way to stop the automatic background updates in kubuntu? and only do them when I choose to?
 @mia, I believe "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
