[07:25] <lordievader> Good morning
 hello everyone, can you tell me by chance when the issue of google online accounts will be resolved?
 @daniel9411, Not yet. Of the 2 bugs involved, this one is still open and unfixed. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414219
[13:46] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:41] <_zxq9_> Hi!
[14:42] <BluesKaj> hi _zxq9_
[14:42] <_zxq9_> Anything interesting going on for you today?
[14:42] <_zxq9_> I forget what TZ you're in. (UTC+9 here).
[14:43] <BluesKaj> EDT here, Ontario Canada
[14:43] <BluesKaj> EST actually
[14:53] <BluesKaj> was checking this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-YBeo9hlzk
[15:08] <_zxq9_> Pretty slick.
[15:09] <_zxq9_> I've only ever bought a handful of desktops from Linux-focused computer companies before. Never a laptop.
[15:09] <_zxq9_> The trouble is that they're all in the US and can't do a Japanese keyboard layout very easily. :-/
[15:10] <dave2592> Dell is my best recommendation.....
[15:13] <_zxq9_> I hate Dell with a passion (but not because of their PCs/notebooks so much as having had to deal with their server support folks while managing data centers).
[15:14] <BluesKaj> _zxq9_, which brands are Japan friendly?
[15:14] <_zxq9_> Anyway, Dell isn't a very reliable option where I live. Toshiba and Fujitsu have excellent presence and service here.
[15:14] <_zxq9_> Most of my customers have moved to Toshiba at this point for notebooks (we make most of their desktops in house).
[15:15] <_zxq9_> Their after-sales support is unbelievable.
[15:15] <BluesKaj> Toshibas are nice, good quality for the money or so I've heard
[15:16] <_zxq9_> Most of the stuff I've seen sold by them in the US are ruggedized notebooks (for field use), or gaming type or desktop replacement type notebooks.
[15:16] <_zxq9_> Here they are really big on the "super tiny, runs cold, low consumption" sort of business notebooks that focus on size, weight, battery life and (of special note) non-crappy keyboards.
[15:17] <_zxq9_> That happens to mesh well with most our clients' needs, so we see loads of those here.
[15:17] <BluesKaj> my laptop is a Dell and I'm happy with it ...not a pemium TOTL, but it suits my needs
[15:17] <_zxq9_> Most of our own notebooks internally are Toshibas that we've refurbised after they've gone past 5 years at a client site, actually. hehe
[15:18] <BluesKaj> is toshiba a very linux friendly brand HW wise?
[15:18] <_zxq9_> Replace the drives, clean everything out, and put Kubuntu on them with our config -- and that's it.
[15:19] <_zxq9_> Never had an issue with them. The UEFI set up is very familiar for us (and not hidden or mysterious) so it tends to be really easy to get things set up right on the first go.
[15:19] <BluesKaj> right
[15:20] <_zxq9_> Until just recently they weren't doing many Ryzen mobile models, but they've started, so in that area things have gotten better, too.
[15:21] <_zxq9_> Most of the time we get the hybrid drive models for clients, then when we get them back we replace them for internal use with a fresh SSD. Everything just sort of works. Never had an issue with any built-in peripherals using Kubuntu or Debian Stable.
[15:21] <_zxq9_> Acer has been a bit of a mixed bag (we still have a few of those around).
[15:21] <_zxq9_> Some of their stuff is *really* nice. Some of their stuff is just sort of OK. The biggest issue with Acer (at least in Japan) is it is hard to get solid after-market support, even under warranty.
[15:22] <_zxq9_> For business uses like ours that's important.
[15:25] <BluesKaj> I had an acer "elcheapo" laptop, it lasted less then 4 yrs
[15:25] <BluesKaj> than
[15:26] <_zxq9_> :-/ That sucks.
[15:26] <BluesKaj> the lenovo replacement wasn't much better
[15:27] <_zxq9_> The only system we ever had totally break down was a Toshiba -- they had a replacement *walked* to the office, in person, the next afternoon. Blew us away.
[15:27] <_zxq9_> I mean, there is good support, and then there is sending a dude to walk a replacement out to you within 24 hours.
[15:28] <BluesKaj> cool
[15:29] <_zxq9_> Never had a very good experience with Lenovo. Doing dual installs on them we've had this problem with after major updates the boot selection sequence will get weird and we have to tell it to boot grub before the Windows bootloader.
[15:29] <_zxq9_> I'm not sure why it was a problem there and not anywhere else, though.
[15:30] <BluesKaj> the cpu on my lenovo died after 5 yrs or so
[15:30] <_zxq9_> The CPU? Wow. That's unusual.
[15:30] <_zxq9_> Did it run hot?
[15:30] <_zxq9_> Or hot/cold a lot?
[15:30] <BluesKaj> the screen started dying just before that...never noticed any heat problems
[15:31] <BluesKaj> I'm not a big load user , just a home user with simple needs
[17:23] <heinoja9> Hi everyone. I was testing Kubuntu 19.10 earlier and it seemed to be quite nice. Now only issue is that EWS calendars are read-only. Is this by design?
[17:26] <Alabalistic> what is EWS calendars
[17:26] <heinoja9> Exchange Web Services, Exchange server / O365 mails
[17:27] <Alabalistic> I know nothing about it
[17:32] <PHaynsworth> Attempted to install kubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64 ...on a Lenovo N23 ... Processor: Intel Celeron N3060 // Memory: 4GB DDR3L 1600 MHz // Storage: 32GB eMMC ... Replaced  Preinstalled Windows 10 Pro
[17:32] <PHaynsworth> After install, get: Boot Menu: // 1.

 Hey guys!
 My dad's Kubuntu 18.04 sometimes prompts for the WIFI password on boot even though it is stored (unencrypted) for all users.
 The password is still there. I can look it up in the settings!!
 It does not matter if I activate or deactivate the password management of Kubuntu.
 It happens irregularly.
 When searching the web, other people seems to have the same problem.
 But no solution.
[19:44] <Alabalistic> the account is with no password login I suppous
[19:46] <Alabalistic> I remember having same issues, but if you turn on the password login and turn of the wake password, then this can be a easy solution.
[20:29] <mycrap> graphics card help please
 We're going to need some more information...
[21:23] <fuze> This says ashmem and binder kernel modules are included in 19.10, does include kubuntu? https://github.com/anbox/anbox/issues/1289
[22:58] <jericho> hello all
