| Thr0r | Hi! Anyone knows if K-ubuntu team is working on KOrganizer for improvements there? Valorie maybe? | 04:43 |
| valorie | K-Ubuntu? | 04:44 |
| valorie | we're just kubuntu | 04:44 |
| Thr0r | ha ha - yes! | 04:44 |
| valorie | korganizer is part of PIM, right? | 04:44 |
| Thr0r | right | 04:44 |
| valorie | I don't know that any of our team is involved there | 04:44 |
| valorie | Rik is working with the plasma team | 04:45 |
| valorie | the pim team is very good and active | 04:45 |
| Thr0r | Who? | 04:45 |
| valorie | I think their chan is #kde-pim | 04:45 |
| valorie | lemme check | 04:45 |
| valorie | who what? | 04:45 |
| Thr0r | ..what - I mean - channel | 04:46 |
| Thr0r | #kde-pim is fine - I will check.. | 04:46 |
| valorie | ah, it's #kdepim | 04:46 |
| valorie | no - | 04:46 |
| valorie | sorry | 04:46 |
| Thr0r | ok thanks - Still going strong I see Valorie :) good | 04:47 |
| valorie | well, that's a tiny chan | 04:47 |
| valorie | lemme see..... | 04:47 |
| valorie | ha! it's #kontact | 04:48 |
| valorie | name of the whole suite | 04:48 |
| Thr0r | Yes - I belive I have discussed this before with you and there was no development in "kontact" - maybe it is now.. It's a great application but it does not work as it should.. | 04:50 |
| Thr0r | Our discussion back then concluded that google calendar was the one to use - it's a shame for all the "Linux" - ...environment.. really | 04:51 |
| Thr0r | But - Kubuntu - THAT is the best Linux distro I have ever used.. Perfect! | 04:53 |
| valorie | :-) | 04:55 |
| valorie | one of the reasons kontact is behind is that most of the devels have day jobs | 04:55 |
| valorie | sort of a vicous cycle -- businesses don't use kontact because it's not good enough | 04:56 |
| valorie | since they don't use it they won't pay for developers | 04:56 |
| valorie | etc. | 04:56 |
| Thr0r | Ah - but it's great - it's just that it cannot interact with "notification" system on Linux like other apps.. I CANNOT get ALERTS!! thats crusial to me.. | 04:58 |
| Thr0r | and also recurring alarms is a problem - if I remeber correct.. | 04:59 |
| valorie | dunno | 05:16 |
| valorie | kmail used to be my absolute favorite, then it stopped working for me | 05:16 |
| valorie | although I loathe webmail, gmail Just Works for me | 05:16 |
| valorie | I still miss kmail but ..... | 05:17 |
| Thr0r | Yes - it's a pitty we're stuck with gmail - they grab all our personal information.. The Linux/Ubuntu community should really develop an alternative.. And yes - It should be web-based.. | 05:20 |
| valorie | well, there is squirrel mail | 05:26 |
| valorie | which is horrible | 05:26 |
| Thr0r | As long as it is not google or MS or Apple I would embrase it - but it's a pitty that the it's just the integration with "notifications" that is the reason for my problems with Korganizer - and also the recurring alarms.. it should be trivial to fix really - but no-one does it.. :( | 05:36 |
| valorie | Thr0r: help is always needed | 05:50 |
| Thr0r | hmm - yes - But I am too old for that kind of stuff.. I'm just a consumer these days.. Development/Coding - long time ago.. | 05:56 |
| Thr0r | They are really helpful in #kontact - NOT. That is a development channel :) | 07:00 |
| tanghus | Thr0r, valorie: For the first time in years KMail/Akonadi/KOrganizer is working flawlessly for me, and I enjoy it after an involuntary hiatus where I had to use Thunderbird. | 07:07 |
| valorie | glad to hear it, tanghus! | 07:08 |
| Thr0r | OK!? And in the calendar function also alarms works and recurring events?? | 07:10 |
| Thr0r | tanghus | 07:10 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 07:10 |
| tanghus | Thr0r: I must admit I haven't noticed that. I get notifications on the phone, so hadn't thought about that. | 07:11 |
| tanghus | When I had to stop using it, I couldn't even get it to show me my emails, so in it's current state it's a great improvement. But I guess you're right about missing notifications. | 07:12 |
| k_sze | Anybody here uses gvim under Kubuntu? | 07:55 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Schyken> Kmail doesn't seem to connect to Gmail so I can't really use it 😪 | 07:57 |
| Thr0r | Maybe we can just say that Kontact is just outdated - as per say.. doesn't work... | 08:08 |
| OerHeks | how about google changed their API? | 08:10 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Schyken> Yeah, it changed some while ago. Some projects didn't seem to take it all that seriously until it no longer worked. | 08:11 |

| Ilgaz | Hello all. Is there a way to apply for beta testing latest kde packages? | 11:05 |
| Ilgaz | How do we apply for a beta account? to test bleeding edge stuff on wayland | 11:08 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Anarchotaoist> @Schyken, From Reddit: Turn on 2FA for your Google account if it's not on yet. … Go to accounts.google.com -> Security -> Signing in to Google -> App Passwords. … Generate a new password, choose "Other" as the name and enter something like KMail. … In KMail, after you get this error, close all extra windows and go to Settings -> Configure KMail -> Accounts -> Receiving -> [Click on whichever one you want to set up] -> Mod | 11:32 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | -> Advanced -> Authentication and choose PLAIN … After I clicked OK, I got a pop-up saying that Gmail refused to authenticate with the given username/password. I then went to authenticate again using a button in that dialog box. If you don't get this, find some other way to get to that point. … This time, after entering your e-mail address and verifying 2FA, DON'T use your actual password. Instead, use the App Password generated in step 3. | 11:32 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | Just enter it into the password field and press Enter. … KMail should now work with your Gmail account. | 11:32 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Anarchotaoist> This works. Well, it did, but I no longer have gmail to confirm it still does. | 11:32 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Anarchotaoist> System Settings - Device Manager no longer working! 🙁 | 11:33 |

| IrcsomeBot1 | <Schyken> @Anarchotaoist, I'm aware. This isn't an adequate solution though. | 15:39 |

| fuze | i updated from 18.04 to 19.10 and my nvidia drivers got messed up. one of my dual monitors has a flickering problem. how do i fix it? | 20:14 |
| fuze | tried this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374405 | 20:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Are you using the Nvidia drivers from the PPA or from the default drivers page? | 20:25 |
| fuze | IrcsomeBot: default drivers | 20:34 |
| fuze | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/n6MV8Jrb/image.png | 20:34 |
| fuze | are the ones in the ppa newer or completely different? | 20:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Oooh, okay that's the right ones. | 20:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> TYTY @RikMills for pointing out the system notifs for reboots and such. Don't know if I already said it but it helped me out :D … Nothing's really broken, but I have this weird pet peeve when I see two instances of the same thing 😅 | 20:38 |

| CountryfiedLinux | howdy | 21:33 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I installed Kubuntu yesterday. Nice so far. | 21:35 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Needs more theme development. That's beyond my current abilities. | 21:36 |
| bprompt | fuze: hmmmm checked #ubuntu yet? | 21:36 |
| fuze | not yet | 21:37 |
| bprompt | fuze: but what I'd do is, check about the repositories for any alternative nvidia drivers, or maybe even check Nvidia's site for any | 21:37 |
| CountryfiedLinux | KDE is one of only 3 GNU/Linux desktops that has fractional display scaling. 4 if you count Enlightenment. On Gnome it's still experimental and buggy so doesn't count yet. | 21:38 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Why isn't KDE the default DE for Ubuntu? | 21:38 |
| bprompt | CountryfiedLinux: I use KDE apps, and run kubuntu, however, I do not run Kwin, the themes and such you may be pointing to may just be Kwin GUI, in my case I use LXQT, which is a QT-based light manager | 21:38 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Actually perhaps it's better left to the community. :P | 21:38 |
| bprompt | CountryfiedLinux: well, why not XFCE? or E! or some other...... they happen to use Gnome, is all | 21:39 |
| CountryfiedLinux | bprompt: Gnome doesn't scale well at all on 1080p laptop screens. Gnome doesn't neither but it does 2K-5K scaling. | 21:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Most Linux desktops have largely abandoned scaling for 1080p laptops. Funny thing is that's the most common laptop display now. | 21:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | KDE, Deepin, and Moksha/Enlightenment understand this. | 21:46 |
| bprompt | CountryfiedLinux: hmmm don't know.... I've used KDE and QT for a long while, I use GTK apps and they run fine, last I ran Gnome DM was back in Mandrake and SuSE9.2, but don't know, I doubt it | 21:46 |
| CountryfiedLinux | The developers that is. | 21:46 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I like scaling set to 1.25 or 1.3 on small 1080 screens. | 21:47 |
| bprompt | hmm I don't use Scaling, I simply change the screen resolution :P | 21:47 |
| bprompt | however, I've done some screen scaling for folks in say Windows10, they like it, I find it is a bit quirky, some windows or dialogs get truncated now and then | 21:48 |
| CountryfiedLinux | bprompt: I'd rather do scaling than lower the resolution. | 21:48 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Windows 10 automatically scales laptops to 125%, same as Deepin. | 21:49 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Actually Deepin is the only GNU/Linux desktop that scales automatically like that. | 21:49 |
| bprompt | yes, but you get truncations | 21:49 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Fractional scaling that is. | 21:49 |
| IrcsomeBot | Dullah Twelvyy was added by: Dullah Twelvyy | 21:52 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Xfce on my laptop is fine also. I like the xHiDPI window manager theme just fine. and I set font scaling to 120. | 21:54 |
| bprompt | CountryfiedLinux: could just be something Gnome may have it on their todo-list | 21:57 |
| CountryfiedLinux | bprompt: When Wayland is stable it will be fixed, especially with Gtk 4. | 21:58 |
| jubo2 | Thank you to everyone who makes Kubuntu happen and people who make the free support happen. Kubuntu is awesome! | 22:04 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I would be using Manjaro, but graphics performance isn't as good for whatever reason. | 22:05 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Same for most distros actually. On the Ubuntu base it's much more smooth. | 22:06 |
| jubo2 | I'd like to upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10, but there is a piece of software that cannot be found in repos later than 18.04: Synergy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto. Probably helps to understand this is that synergy is free software, but a company has showed up to ask $39 / instance for it. Could I get it safely from the 18.04 repos, without breaking stuff even on a later version? | 22:09 |
| bprompt | jubo2: why not for now stick with 18.04? mind you that 18.04 is LTS, 19.10 isn't | 22:11 |
| bprompt | jubo2: and the next LTS is coming up in about 6 months | 22:12 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> @CountryfiedLinux, MATE does as well. | 22:12 |
| bprompt | jubo2: could you safely? it depends largely on the app itself, I've done so with many, some have specific dependencies, so if a version of lib goes from 1.03 to 1.04 the app goes poof | 22:13 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> And so does elementary OS. Though, fine-tuned scaling is more apparent with KDE. It just doesn't do it automatically. | 22:13 |
| CountryfiedLinux | IrcsomeBot: If you're fine with having your 1080p laptop screen at 100% or 200% scaling, sure. | 22:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> A resolution and scale means nothing. | 22:16 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Sure it does. | 22:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Screen size is a factor as well. 1080p at 100% is fine at 15". | 22:16 |
| CountryfiedLinux | It means my desktop aspects look properly sized and not blurry. | 22:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Less fine at 13". | 22:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Once more, screen size. | 22:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Resolution and scale mean nothing on their own. | 22:17 |
| CountryfiedLinux | IrcsomeBot: I specifically said laptop. | 22:17 |
| jubo2 | Kubuntu is awesome, especially after you run 'sudo apt update && sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer && ubuntustudio-installer'. I got that set up on an another computer | 22:17 |
| CountryfiedLinux | For me 1080p laptop screens need fractional scaling, which few Linux desktops provide. That's why I use Kubuntu. Also for the graphics driver performance on the Ubuntu base. | 22:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Laptop isn't a size 😅 | 22:18 |
| CountryfiedLinux | IrcsomeBot: Laptops have small screens. | 22:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Not all of them, and small is still based on perspective. | 22:18 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Personal perspective: mine. | 22:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> There are actually mathematical applications for determining DPI adjustments because these things are usually backed by calculations as well. | 22:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Yeah, but not all laptops are the same, so it helps to be specific because 100% on a 13" screen will be totally different than 100% on a 15" screen, or even 16"-17" | 22:20 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I think I'd want fractional scaling on any 1080p under 20". | 22:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Interesting. Do you have any eyesight issues that need to be taken into account? | 22:21 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I don't think there are many options in the 60-19 inch screens anyhow. | 22:21 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Nope | 22:22 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I just like to have everything at a comfortable adjustment. | 22:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> Makes sense. I tend to have things at a fairly small scale to maximize space for the content, but I know my mother prefers a larger scale, which is about 25% larger than what I use. | 22:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schyken> On my desktop I use 100% for 1440p on a 24" screen, and on my laptop I use 200% for a 3160p at 13". | 22:24 |
| CountryfiedLinux | How do I remove local folders from Kmail? | 23:00 |
