[00:04] One of the worst things about a new install is dialing in everything. Sheesh! [00:04] Do you have any info of this topic unit193? [00:06] I'm not precisely sure why you pinged me on this. [00:07] You are Staff member here? not? I asked a question no one else replied to so I tried you - hoping you would know the issue? [00:07] Oh, for the freenode IRC network, not Kubuntu. Sorry. [00:08] well - Freenode / Kubuntu [00:09] just let me know if you are not able to help.. I'll move on [00:11] I mean I can't, but that doesn't mean someone won't be active in time that can. [00:12] ok, thanks [00:19] @Thr0r, Screen management with respect to widget placement has in improved on 20.04 where changing resolutions do not scatter the widgets near often as it used to (using X). [00:26] Ok - To who and what server and channel would it be best to adress this dual screen management issue that does never seem to be resolved in Kubuntu? #KDE? is there a place outside freenode? ..you know unit193? [00:27] In here or #kde would seem logical to me, sure.

I have also lost the ability to have opacity settting on terminal window set. I get error - "the background transparency setting will not be used because your destkop does not appear to support transparent windows" [17:01] anybody have any ideas what would be causing this.. === korner is now known as korner__ [17:17] @Barika, Which version of Kubuntu and do you have backports installed? [17:19] @Barika the zooming is likely a compositor effect, so I would check under Desktop Effects. Also that hotkey (Shift+Alt+F12) is used to toggle the compositor on/off. By turning off the compositor, I think you just lose the ability to have transparency without the old school fallback in the days before compiz and all that. [17:20] actually yeah, Zoom appears to be enabled by default with [Meta =] and [Meta -] as the hotkeys to control zoom. [17:22] so you could either disable zoom or try hitting [Meta -] a few times until it's back to normal. Meta key also being known as the super key (or Windows key). [17:24] Older versions of plasma will crash and while the desktop still works the compositor will not run until plasma is restarted. On older plasma, run killall plasmashell for a terminal. Then run "plasmashell &" to restart. [17:24] New plasma versions crash less often, but can be restarted with "plasmashell —replace &" [17:30] Ok I turned off zoom. Wondering now how to get blur effect working. [17:30] I will reboot see if this helps. [17:33] removing zoom worked and fixed blur even [17:39] When plasma partial crashes, sometime compositing is set to xrender (System settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor -> Rendering backend. Manually restarting plasma and setting Rendering backend to OpenGL (sometime restarting plasma again) will fix the issue. [17:56] any idea why k Driver Manager only shows drivers for my iwlwifi and nothing for my gpu? [18:06] hello [18:07] it is now [18:13] sigNeon, which gpu do have ...intel is most likely loaded so it won't show iirc [18:14] BluesKaj: yeah it is the i915 driver [18:15] dunno why it doesn't [18:19] sigNeon,try, lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' ..include the quotes [18:19] I used: sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload [18:20] linuxhw probe tool [18:20] works nicely :) [18:20] https://linux-hardware.org/ [18:22] dont have that utlity so command not found here [18:22] very handy actually [18:22] just found it [18:22] "hw-probe [18:22] "hw-probe" [18:23] https://pasteboard.co/J3v5o5q.png [18:24] states loading and nothing [18:24] anyreason why?

[18:24] just installed kde-neon and am getting issues loading wallpapers [18:24] close it and try again [18:27] vadi01, have you asked in #kde-neon [18:28] kubuntu and kde-neon aren't the same [18:28] ubuntu core LTS with a rolling KDE Desktop [18:29] I use it [18:29] BluesKaj: yep posted it. silent people there [18:29] similar enough that most general stuff is the same other than if you don't use pkcon you have to use "dist-upgrade" in place of "upgrade" [18:33] sigNeon: thnaks worked [18:33] :) === kubuntu is now known as Guest71464 [19:53] its now [19:54] helo vadi01 [19:55] ah much better. Had to remove neon and get to kubuntu.

[22:16] vadi01: https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-18-1-for-kubuntu-19-10-available-in-backports-ppa/ [22:16] For even newer, https://kubuntu.org/news/testing-for-the-beta-help-needed/ [23:10] Is there a difference between shutting down my pc via "Shutdown now" or via kubuntu desktop? === leaftype2 is now known as leaftype [23:22] For a test, you can try to create a document (say in kate) and try both approaches. I know using the GUI shutdown it will tell you kate has an unsaved document in its buffer. I am not so sure about the terminal command. P.S. I usually do a systemctl poweroff instead, but generally only when the GUI is unresponsive. [23:43] That's interesting. [23:44] mparillo: does using the terminal way causes data loss? === hggdh-msft is now known as hggdh [23:56] You might lose unsaved data, but using the shutdown command will definitely write saved data to disk if necessary [23:57] So it isn't like just pulling out the power cable
