[01:27] How do I share my current wireless connection on my laptop so my cell phone can use the internet? I created a new connection with the "Wireless-Shared", but the phone doesn't see anything === kubuntu is now known as Guest12704 [04:43] Hi! Anyone knows if K-ubuntu team is working on KOrganizer for improvements there? Valorie maybe? [04:44] K-Ubuntu? [04:44] we're just kubuntu [04:44] ha ha - yes! [04:44] korganizer is part of PIM, right? [04:44] right [04:44] I don't know that any of our team is involved there [04:45] Rik is working with the plasma team [04:45] the pim team is very good and active [04:45] Who? [04:45] I think their chan is #kde-pim [04:45] lemme check [04:45] who what? [04:46] ..what - I mean - channel [04:46] #kde-pim is fine - I will check.. [04:46] ah, it's #kdepim [04:46] no - [04:46] sorry [04:47] ok thanks - Still going strong I see Valorie :) good [04:47] well, that's a tiny chan [04:47] lemme see..... [04:48] ha! it's #kontact [04:48] name of the whole suite [04:50] 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.. [04:51] Our discussion back then concluded that google calendar was the one to use - it's a shame for all the "Linux" - ...environment.. really [04:53] But - Kubuntu - THAT is the best Linux distro I have ever used.. Perfect! [04:55] :-) [04:55] one of the reasons kontact is behind is that most of the devels have day jobs [04:56] sort of a vicous cycle -- businesses don't use kontact because it's not good enough [04:56] since they don't use it they won't pay for developers [04:56] etc. [04:58] 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.. [04:59] and also recurring alarms is a problem - if I remeber correct.. [05:16] dunno [05:16] kmail used to be my absolute favorite, then it stopped working for me [05:16] although I loathe webmail, gmail Just Works for me [05:17] I still miss kmail but ..... [05:20] 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.. [05:26] well, there is squirrel mail [05:26] which is horrible [05:36] 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.. :( [05:50] Thr0r: help is always needed [05:56] hmm - yes - But I am too old for that kind of stuff.. I'm just a consumer these days.. Development/Coding - long time ago.. [07:00] They are really helpful in #kontact - NOT. That is a development channel :) [07:07] 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. [07:08] glad to hear it, tanghus! [07:10] OK!? And in the calendar function also alarms works and recurring events?? [07:10] tanghus [07:10] Good morning [07:11] Thr0r: I must admit I haven't noticed that. I get notifications on the phone, so hadn't thought about that. [07:12] 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. [07:55] Anybody here uses gvim under Kubuntu? [07:57] Kmail doesn't seem to connect to Gmail so I can't really use it 😪 [08:08] Maybe we can just say that Kontact is just outdated - as per say.. doesn't work... [08:10] how about google changed their API? [08:11] Yeah, it changed some while ago. Some projects didn't seem to take it all that seriously until it no longer worked. [08:17] https://www.dvratil.cz/2019/08/kontact-google-integration-issue/ [11:05] Hello all. Is there a way to apply for beta testing latest kde packages? [11:08] How do we apply for a beta account? to test bleeding edge stuff on wayland [11:32] @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] -> 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] Just enter it into the password field and press Enter. … KMail should now work with your Gmail account. [11:32] This works. Well, it did, but I no longer have gmail to confirm it still does. [11:33] System Settings - Device Manager no longer working! 🙁 [11:55] hi [11:55] how do I downsize a btrfs partition from 200 GB down to 100GB to make way for increasing another btrfs partition from 47 GB to 147 GB?

[20:14] tried this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374405 [20:25] Are you using the Nvidia drivers from the PPA or from the default drivers page? [20:34] IrcsomeBot: default drivers [20:34] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/n6MV8Jrb/image.png [20:35] are the ones in the ppa newer or completely different? [20:35] Oooh, okay that's the right ones. [20:38] 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 😅 [21:00] is there a better irc channel for my issue? [21:12] fuze: what's your issue anyway? I never saw it, came in a few minutes ago [21:12] 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? [21:13] tried this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374405 [21:33] howdy [21:35] I installed Kubuntu yesterday. Nice so far. [21:36] Needs more theme development. That's beyond my current abilities. [21:36] fuze: hmmmm checked #ubuntu yet? [21:37] not yet [21:37] 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 [21:38] 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] Why isn't KDE the default DE for Ubuntu? [21:38] 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] Actually perhaps it's better left to the community. :P [21:39] CountryfiedLinux: well, why not XFCE? or E! or some other...... they happen to use Gnome, is all [21:45] bprompt: Gnome doesn't scale well at all on 1080p laptop screens. Gnome doesn't neither but it does 2K-5K scaling. [21:45] Most Linux desktops have largely abandoned scaling for 1080p laptops. Funny thing is that's the most common laptop display now. [21:46] KDE, Deepin, and Moksha/Enlightenment understand this. [21:46] 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] The developers that is. [21:47] I like scaling set to 1.25 or 1.3 on small 1080 screens. [21:47] hmm I don't use Scaling, I simply change the screen resolution :P [21:48] 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] bprompt: I'd rather do scaling than lower the resolution. [21:49] Windows 10 automatically scales laptops to 125%, same as Deepin. [21:49] Actually Deepin is the only GNU/Linux desktop that scales automatically like that. [21:49] yes, but you get truncations [21:49] Fractional scaling that is. [21:52] Dullah Twelvyy was added by: Dullah Twelvyy [21:54] Xfce on my laptop is fine also. I like the xHiDPI window manager theme just fine. and I set font scaling to 120. [21:57] CountryfiedLinux: could just be something Gnome may have it on their todo-list [21:58] bprompt: When Wayland is stable it will be fixed, especially with Gtk 4. [22:04] Thank you to everyone who makes Kubuntu happen and people who make the free support happen. Kubuntu is awesome! [22:05] I would be using Manjaro, but graphics performance isn't as good for whatever reason. [22:06] Same for most distros actually. On the Ubuntu base it's much more smooth. [22:09] 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? [22:11] jubo2: why not for now stick with 18.04? mind you that 18.04 is LTS, 19.10 isn't [22:12] jubo2: and the next LTS is coming up in about 6 months [22:12] @CountryfiedLinux, MATE does as well. [22:13] 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] And so does elementary OS. Though, fine-tuned scaling is more apparent with KDE. It just doesn't do it automatically. [22:15] IrcsomeBot: If you're fine with having your 1080p laptop screen at 100% or 200% scaling, sure. [22:16] A resolution and scale means nothing. [22:16] Sure it does. [22:16] Screen size is a factor as well. 1080p at 100% is fine at 15". [22:17] It means my desktop aspects look properly sized and not blurry. [22:17] Less fine at 13". [22:17] Once more, screen size. [22:17] Resolution and scale mean nothing on their own. [22:17] IrcsomeBot: I specifically said laptop. [22:17] 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 [22:18] 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] Laptop isn't a size 😅 [22:18] IrcsomeBot: Laptops have small screens. [22:18] Not all of them, and small is still based on perspective. [22:18] Personal perspective: mine. [22:19] There are actually mathematical applications for determining DPI adjustments because these things are usually backed by calculations as well. [22:20] 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" [22:21] I think I'd want fractional scaling on any 1080p under 20". [22:21] Interesting. Do you have any eyesight issues that need to be taken into account? [22:21] I don't think there are many options in the 60-19 inch screens anyhow. [22:22] Nope [22:22] I just like to have everything at a comfortable adjustment. [22:23] 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. [22:24] On my desktop I use 100% for 1440p on a 24" screen, and on my laptop I use 200% for a 3160p at 13". [23:00] How do I remove local folders from Kmail?
