[06:12] <pragomer> Hi, got the following question: I use Kubuntu 18.04 LTS with a good nvidia card and a 1440p (wqhd) monitor. I use scaling with factor 1.2 but the fonts are a little bit too unsharp.  is there some general advice how one should deal with this issue?
[06:13] <pragomer> like: better staying with "no scaling" and just increasing font size.. or are the some general tips for better font sharpness in kubuntu?
[07:44] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:46] <bob_> hi
[07:46] <bob_> I'm looking for guidance re a bug in Kubuntu Ermine
[07:48] <lordievader> The #ubuntu+1 channel is meant for discussing unreleased (K)Ubuntu versions.
[07:48] <bob_> Ermine is not rleased yet
[07:49] <bob_> I go to the channel you mentioned?
[07:49] <bob_> apparently i heed to be registered to join
[07:52] <bob_> I am a noob on irc so a bit lost with that
[07:54] <bob_> i might have registered in the past but unsure about that
[07:54] <bob_> I ll check my password store
[08:04] <amitk58> Hi Team, do Kubuntu support ike package?
 amitk58: the vector presentation application?
 Last thing i knew of it that it is outdated and unmentained.
 @mparillo, LOL!
[10:11] <isomari> greetings, how can I scale sddm? all the elements are super tiny?
 Hi! I wanted to ask a question. I upgraded Plasma to 5.15.5 yesterday on my Kubuntu 19.04 but I will upgrade to Kubuntu 19.10 when it is released. Is it still possible to upgrade to 19.10 without coming back to Plasma 5.15.4?
 @Franzpow, The super safe way would be to ppa-purge ppas 1st, but yes, that should work ok without, as everything in 19.10 is a newer version.
 Ok so I should be safe. I wanted also to know if 19.10 it's shipped with plasma 5.17?
 @Franzpow, 5.17 was only released yesterday, long long after 19.10 version freeze, so no, 19.10 has Plasma 5.16.5 by default. … However, 5.17 will be available in our backports PPA for those who reallly want it.
 Oh. I hope it will be avaible woth version 20.04
 Thank you!
 20.04 LTS should have Plasma 5.18 LTS
 Ok thanks a lot
[11:46] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 Hello guys!
 Recently on my Kubuntu 18.04, amule from the repos stopped working without me doing any system changes apart from the normal updates.
 Konsole output is this:
 (Photo, 1280x247) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/DFBej5nY/file_19055.jpg
 Reboot does not help.
 According to ksys there is no instance of amule running.
 does that lockfile exist?
 Yes
[13:20] <lordievader> Sounds like it crashed, leaving the lockfile.
 if so, you could try removing it. seems its existance is why it thinks an amule process is already running
 And its contents is the text "1288".
 @lordievader, yes
 Great, it works now.
 The whole output in Konsole is now this:
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/b0TbJtfJ/file_19056.jpg
 Any idea how that happened and how I can prevent this from happening again?
 @Linuxophil, Without knowing why it's process went away without cleaning up, it is impossible to say.
 OK. Can you point me into the right direction for finding out? I don't have the first clue on how to start that.
 Nor do I with amule to be honest
[13:29] <OerHeks> looks like a tracker wrecked your amule, grinn .. the price for illegal downloads
 I'm sure it was just used for sharing linux ISOs and other free things.....
[13:35] <salsa4life> ofcourse
 @RikMills, It actually is. Kubuntu 18.04.3 and 19.04 chief among them! :-)
 Thanks for your help, guys!
 @Linuxophil, fixes for that in a new install are on the way
 \o/
 @RikMills, Perfect! I am very happy with Kubuntu! You guys of the Kubuntu team are doing a brilliant job!
 @Linuxophil, Thanks. That is ubuntu side though, as the same happens on ubuntu-mate, ubuntu, budgie etc
 I will have to decide on either Kubuntu 18.04 or 19.10 for a friends laptop who just cannot get used to Ubuntu proper. He mainly needs Chrome, Google drive and WeChat. Would you say I should play it save with 18.04 or rather play it pretty with 19.10? 😉
 @RikMills, I will thank the Ubuntu guys as well. But I feel like you need to hear it too!
 @Linuxophil, You are probably bettr asking suers with similar needs about that. My perspective is not very average!
 @RikMills, I will ask them as well, but it is never a bad idea to take into consideration the reasons and opinions of people with more knowledge then one's own, right?
 I think either would be fine, but you might like to check the things like gdrive work on both.
[14:47] <jubo2> Hi and thanks for the awesome free software and support
[14:47] <jubo2> Ubuntu 19.10 is coming tomorrow. Any news when Kubuntu 19.10 final will be ready?
 Same time as Ubuntu
[14:48] <jubo2> Thanks for infor RikMills
[14:48] <jubo2> A friend's laptop broke so he needs something quite soon
[14:48] <jubo2> I got a couple of used spare laptops here, so I rustle a system for him
[15:00] <jubo2> One of the laptops has an ok Kubuntu 19.04... Will the upgrade be available starting from 19.10.1, or is that just for LTSes?
 Just LTS.
[15:02] <jubo2> Ok, thanks for info RikMills
[15:12] <jubo2> So I hear relative scaling is coming.. Running at full resolution does not suit my eyes, so I'm currently scaling all the fonts in system settings, but this relative scaling would be nice
[15:12] <jubo2> Was it that there is some special thing to do if one wants to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS?
 @syddel could be because it is a gtk product
 dunno, don't use FF anymore
[20:51] <tomreyn> jubo2: sudo software-properties-qt --open-tab=2      and look at the option on the bottom
 @Rahul Bali, Not until much later tomorrow. ISOs have only just been remade for testing, so there is a fair bit of QA to do.
 Shouldn't be. everything is there is a version backported from Eoan, but with a ~ suffix to make apt see it as a lower version. i.e. should all uprade ok
