| pragomer | hi. i am running kubuntu 18.04.3 | 04:56 |
| pragomer | I am trying to find a dolphins service plugin that can "use this jpg as wallpaper"... but none of the downloadable plugins seem to work. | 04:57 |
| pragomer | even after reboot | 04:57 |
| pragomer | are they all outdated? or do I miss something here? | 04:57 |
| pragomer | the issue is: they dont appear in the servives list nor in dolphins context menu | 04:57 |
| valorie | pragomer: what does dolphin have to do with wallpaper? | 05:46 |
| valorie | right-click on the desktop, choose your chosen wallpaper, etc. and boom, done | 05:46 |
| valorie | nothing to do with dolphin | 05:47 |
| pragomer | valorie: hi.. i want to set the wallpaper via right-click "select as wallpaper"... like it is available in every other DE.. | 05:58 |

| viewer|53 | Hi, can I ask questions here? | 13:08 |
| mparillo | Yes, and if anybody knows the answers, you will get a response. Note that as people join and leave, the answers may not be immediate. | 13:23 |

| IrcsomeBot | <ericadams> Good day all. I took a quick look at Plasma 5.17 using the beta ppa. Nothing new to report but I have 2 quick things. One, GTK apps are still not themed properly by default. The workaround to fix it is to change the GTK 2 and 3 themes to something else and then back to Breeze in Appearance settings. The other thing is more of a question about a default. xdg-desktop-portal-kde is installed by default but not enabled. It's easy enough | 15:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | to change it but it seems like you'd want that to be the default, no? Anyway, thanks for the continued effort. I appreciate Kubuntu and use it daily. Great stuff! | 15:47 |
| proctrap | ericadams if you want this to seen by ppl you should probably make an issue | 15:55 |
| proctrap | this way it's more present, IRC is nice for short talk or help but nothing persistent | 15:55 |
| staxas | hello, I could use some help withe 'present all windows' desktop effect | 16:01 |
| staxas | it seems broken | 16:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ericadams> @proctrap, Fair enough. Do you consider theese Kubuntu or KDE issues? Not sure myself. | 16:03 |
| proctrap | probably KDE | 16:12 |
| proctrap | you could ask there | 16:12 |
| proctrap | (IRC) #kde | 16:12 |
| proctrap | but this also depends on the environment settings | 16:13 |
| proctrap | so technically it can be a kubuntu issue | 16:13 |
| proctrap | but I don't think so | 16:13 |
| proctrap | (emulating the theme by setting environment variables to mimic the kde theme in gnome, different technology stack) | 16:13 |
| proctrap | but that's the end of my knowledge :P | 16:13 |
| staxas | thank you, I HAVE POSTED A QUESTION ON THE KUBUNTU FORUM | 16:15 |
| staxas | sorry | 16:16 |
| proctrap | oh that's probably also good | 16:20 |

| mozmck | Question: what are the two input boxes in the installer under the option "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted lvm"? It appears that I can't continue without putting something in them, but there is absolutely no indication what they are for! | 18:24 |
| mozmck | A picture is shown here, but no helpful text: https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu/Installation#Use_entire_disk | 18:25 |
| diogenes_ | mozmck, do you need encryption? | 18:27 |
| mozmck | Yes | 18:27 |
| diogenes_ | then i guess the second option would be good. | 18:28 |
| mozmck | diogenes_: I've done full disk encryption on LinuxMint (but not LVM) and it was straightforward. | 18:28 |
| diogenes_ | but it will erase everything. | 18:28 |
| mozmck | diogenes_: second option is just LVM, not encrypted. | 18:28 |
| mozmck | It's a new blank drive | 18:29 |
| diogenes_ | hmm sorry i have never used encryption, maybe someone who uses it would be more helpful. | 18:30 |
| genii | mozmck: Seems to me the boxes would be for: password and: password again to confirm they match | 19:15 |
| mozmck | genii: thanks. I decided that's what they probably were and entered the same password in each and it let me continue. | 19:16 |
| mozmck | genii: but that is a rather obvious flaw in the installer that should be fixed. This is on kubuntu 18.04.2 | 19:17 |
| genii | You should probably write down whatever you set it to, and store it somewhere safe in case later you need it | 19:17 |
| valorie | argh, I filed a bug against the installer about the lack of labels over and over, for years | 19:23 |
| valorie | still no labels? | 19:23 |
| valorie | mozmck: ^^^ | 19:24 |
| mozmck | valorie: Yes, on the screen to set up an encrypted LVM. On the screen for username and password the boxes were labeled. | 19:24 |
| valorie | I'm looking for the bug report so you can add your input | 19:25 |
| mozmck | valorie: it looked just about like the screen shown here, except there was not even the key icon: https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu/Installation#Use_entire_disk | 19:25 |
| mozmck | https://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/c/c6/Disksetup-15_10.png | 19:26 |
| valorie | 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity' in the commandline is the best | 19:27 |
| valorie | hopefully while you are in the process | 19:27 |
| valorie | but later is fine | 19:27 |
| mozmck | What does that all mean? | 19:27 |
| mozmck | Can I get a commandline while installing? I've already finished the install now. | 19:28 |
| valorie | oh yes, you always have the terminal | 19:29 |
| valorie | control+alt+f4 | 19:30 |
| valorie | for me, control+alt+f1 to come back | 19:30 |
| valorie | but that might be different for you | 19:30 |
| valorie | just keep trying until you return to the gui | 19:30 |
| genii | In the GUI installers, yes, 1st console is usually the one running the installer and 2-7 others which are available. In server install, 1 is installer, 2,3 are available and 4 is installer output for debugging | 19:32 |
| valorie | I can't seem to search well today for the ubiquity bug about missing labels | 19:33 |
| genii | bug 1681830 | 19:36 |
| ubottu | bug 1681830 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "No Label for LVM Encryption Passwords" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1681830 | 19:36 |
| genii | valorie: ^ | 19:36 |
| valorie | excellent! | 19:36 |
| valorie | thanks, genii | 19:36 |
| valorie | triaged | 19:37 |
| valorie | not FIXED | 19:37 |
| valorie | why | 19:37 |
| valorie | mozmck: please add your input to the above BR | 19:38 |
| mozmck | Just did - thanks! | 19:41 |
| valorie | thank you! | 19:42 |
