[00:55] I updated Kubuntu 19.04 this morning and now I don't get my Desktop anymore. Any ideas what happened? [00:59] Discovery asked me to update my system and now I get a black screen when I login after the update. Help === feodoran is now known as Guest95546 === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran [04:56] hi. i am running kubuntu 18.04.3 [04:57] 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 [04:57] even after reboot [04:57] are they all outdated? or do I miss something here? [04:57] the issue is: they dont appear in the servives list nor in dolphins context menu [05:46] pragomer: what does dolphin have to do with wallpaper? [05:46] right-click on the desktop, choose your chosen wallpaper, etc. and boom, done [05:47] nothing to do with dolphin [05:58] valorie: hi.. i want to set the wallpaper via right-click "select as wallpaper"... like it is available in every other DE.. === MANIAC is now known as Guest70465 [06:49] Good morning [10:52] Hey folks [11:05] ahmed0x7ce was added by: ahmed0x7ce [13:08] Hi, can I ask questions here? [13:23] 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. [14:50] ericadams was added by: ericadams [15:47] 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] 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! [15:55] ericadams if you want this to seen by ppl you should probably make an issue [15:55] this way it's more present, IRC is nice for short talk or help but nothing persistent [16:01] hello, I could use some help withe 'present all windows' desktop effect [16:01] it seems broken [16:03] @proctrap, Fair enough. Do you consider theese Kubuntu or KDE issues? Not sure myself. [16:12] probably KDE [16:12] you could ask there [16:12] (IRC) #kde [16:13] but this also depends on the environment settings [16:13] so technically it can be a kubuntu issue [16:13] but I don't think so [16:13] (emulating the theme by setting environment variables to mimic the kde theme in gnome, different technology stack) [16:13] but that's the end of my knowledge :P [16:15] thank you, I HAVE POSTED A QUESTION ON THE KUBUNTU FORUM [16:16] sorry [16:20] oh that's probably also good === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === MANIAC is now known as Guest44943 [18:24] 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! [18:25] A picture is shown here, but no helpful text: https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu/Installation#Use_entire_disk [18:27] mozmck, do you need encryption? [18:27] Yes [18:28] then i guess the second option would be good. [18:28] diogenes_: I've done full disk encryption on LinuxMint (but not LVM) and it was straightforward. [18:28] but it will erase everything. [18:28] diogenes_: second option is just LVM, not encrypted. [18:29] It's a new blank drive [18:30] hmm sorry i have never used encryption, maybe someone who uses it would be more helpful. [19:15] mozmck: Seems to me the boxes would be for: password and: password again to confirm they match [19:16] genii: thanks. I decided that's what they probably were and entered the same password in each and it let me continue. [19:17] genii: but that is a rather obvious flaw in the installer that should be fixed. This is on kubuntu 18.04.2 [19:17] You should probably write down whatever you set it to, and store it somewhere safe in case later you need it [19:23] argh, I filed a bug against the installer about the lack of labels over and over, for years [19:23] still no labels? [19:24] mozmck: ^^^ [19:24] valorie: Yes, on the screen to set up an encrypted LVM. On the screen for username and password the boxes were labeled. [19:25] I'm looking for the bug report so you can add your input [19:25] 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 [19:26] https://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/c/c6/Disksetup-15_10.png [19:27] 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity' in the commandline is the best [19:27] hopefully while you are in the process [19:27] but later is fine [19:27] What does that all mean? [19:28] Can I get a commandline while installing? I've already finished the install now. [19:29] oh yes, you always have the terminal [19:30] control+alt+f4 [19:30] for me, control+alt+f1 to come back [19:30] but that might be different for you [19:30] just keep trying until you return to the gui [19:32] 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 [19:33] I can't seem to search well today for the ubiquity bug about missing labels [19:36] bug 1681830 [19:36] bug 1681830 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "No Label for LVM Encryption Passwords" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1681830 [19:36] valorie: ^ [19:36] excellent! [19:36] thanks, genii [19:37] triaged [19:37] not FIXED [19:37] why [19:38] mozmck: please add your input to the above BR [19:41] Just did - thanks! [19:42] thank you! === root is now known as Guest80378
