=== tom is now known as Guest46997 === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [06:04] Good morning [07:07] Hello. Just curious if the bugfixes address Bluetooth issues [07:07] I know Bluetooth works in Ubuntu Budgie, but not sure why Kubuntu refuses to allow for my Wireless earbuds [07:38] Latest kernel/general update seemingly removed the ability to access my samsung phone's files, any info on this? === MANIAC is now known as Guest90154 [07:52] @JJ_4884 please file a bug about this issue -- I've not heard of it before [07:52] the easy way is in the commandline: ubuntu-bug bluetooth [07:52] or so [07:53] whatever the bluetooth packagename is [07:53] MrSassyPants: in kde-connect, or what? [07:54] valorie, in the dolphin, idk what subsystems that uses precisely [07:54] last I checked, I could easily read/transfer files both ways using kde-connect [07:54] ah, mtp always fails for me for years [07:54] I have a samsung phone too [07:54] it was working fine for me until today [07:54] !info kdeconnect [07:55] 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] if you don't have kdeconnect, check it out [07:55] I think I played around with kdeconnect years ago [07:55] no use for me [07:55] the only time I ever have an issue is if the phone version and laptop version get out of sync [07:56] years ago it could do much less [07:56] if I can use it as a glorified memory stick I'm fine [11:01] Hey folks [11:09] HI === Guest29330 is now known as katnip` === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === sysadmin is now known as Guest23951 === Guest23951 is now known as sysadminer === kubuntu is now known as Guest76858 [16:30] hi all, when I log in, I see this: https://imgur.com/a/lnPwKr4 [16:30] 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] if anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be really appreciated [16:34] nevermind someone in #kde helped me identify it as KScreen [16:36] yeah, I saw that :-) === mkv is now known as m4v [16:46] 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] And as far as I can tell Kubuntu is unable to do this out of the box. === MANIAC is now known as Guest23697 [16:47] Whenever I try to set a folder shared in dolphin it just throws out whatever settings I give it,. [17:02] Scottbert, try using Dolphin>Network>add folder to create a share link to the MS pc dir you want [17:09] BluesKaj: Accessing samba shares on other computers works fine, I want to share folders FROM this computer [17:10] And I can't believe this isn't basic out of the box ubuntu functionality [17:10] I know linuxes used to be able to do this 6 years ago no problem [17:15] that share link should give 2 way access between your linux pc and the windows pc folders [17:17] youshould be able to copy a fplder from linux to Windows as well [17:17] 'scuse my spelling [17:23] That's for adding a remote windows folder, I want to share a folder from the linux computer [17:42] How is kubuntu completely unable to do this [18:40] 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] see here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T8663 [18:46] also here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T6831 [19:14] oh if ONLY it were as simple as installing the samba-common package [19:15] 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] 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] 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] well at least you see that people are working on it :P [19:20] but ye it really should be working out of the box no question [19:21] I have personally never used it so I can't help you there [19:48] NM, the kludge APPEARS to work when I browse to localhost but I can't actually browse folders from other computers [19:49] So there are just no instructions? No ubuntu user anywhere needs to share files? === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [21:25] Hello [21:25] How stable is kubuntu 18.04 with backports PPA? [21:27] Can this be a stable workstation for a simple user? or are there occasional crashes and/or bugs to solve? [21:32] Neeknaim: I've never had a crash [21:33] that said, I only run an LTS for 6 months then upgrade [21:33] now running 19.04 [21:33] and I always run backports [21:33] never once had a problem with backports [21:33] you run the LTS for 6 months with backports PPA enabled? [21:34] oh [21:34] I see. cool [21:34] plus you can always do ppa-purge if you *do* have a problem [21:34] yes [21:34] !ppa-purge [21:34] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [21:34] How many plasma updates did you have during the 6 months period of 18.04? [21:34] huh [21:35] I would have to go back to KDE.org announcements and see how many there were [21:36] https://kde.org/announcements/ [21:36] an approximation would be enough. Was it around 2-3 or more like 10? [21:38] you upgraded from 18.04 to 18.04 or straight to 19.04? [21:38] sorry [21:38] you upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10 or straight to 19.04? [21:38] hmmm I guess the 6 months would hint that it was 18.10 [21:40] yes, in fact I usually upgrade to the beta [21:41] but I'm part of the team and am one of the testers [21:41] for the average user I see the value of LTS [21:41] I like having fresh applications though [21:44] 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] one more question, is there a way to stop the automatic background updates in kubuntu? and only do them when I choose to? [22:28] @mia, I believe "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
