CrellHm.  I can start krunner from the command line, and it works once, but then not again?00:09
CrellThat's... weird.00:09
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> crell have you uninstalled it and tried again?00:46
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> purge files00:46
CrellI have not.  Which package is krunner in?00:50
geniiplasma-workspace00:52
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> crell: 'sudo apt purge krunner' then reinstall it00:59
geniikrunner is not it's own package. It is a component of the package previously mentioned, plasma-workspace01:14
genii!info krunnner01:14
ubottuPackage krunnner does not exist in focal01:14
geniieg^01:14
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> apt search krunner01:16
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> has plenty of info01:16
genii..also, easier instead of purging them reinstalling, is : sudo apt-get install --reinstall <whatever>01:16
CrellHm.  That seems a bad thing to uninstall. :-)  I'll try the reinstall command.01:16
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> purging will get rid of all files and configs, not the same01:17
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> two different things01:17
CrellAfter doing a reinstall, do I need to restart KDE?01:17
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> shouldn't need to01:17
CrellAre you bridged in from Slack or something? :-)01:18
genii@sigAIO install -reinstall overwites whatever filles it currently has with factory install config files01:18
CrellStill no Alt-F2 response.  Running `krunner` on the command line brings up the dialog once, but once only.01:18
IrcsomeBot1<sigAIO> If I run into problems and I need to reinstall a package that I have no need to save config files I purge packages.01:19
emmadoes kubuntu have a bootable usb drive creator?03:57
IrcsomeBot1<da_ni_el> yes, in kubuntu 20.04: usb-creator-kde04:18

IrcsomeBot1<LtVerdier> Hi everybody, … I've got the Kubuntu 20.04 LTS and despite "the Screen lock after 15 min" choice, after serveral hours of inactivity a simple mouse move wake the screen without passwd. Did I forget to do something ?05:30

valorie@LtVerdier - that makes me suspect that you have a permissions problem in your home06:24
valorieprobably in your ~/.config06:24
valorieprobably chowning your home will fix that06:24
valorie!chown06:24
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions06:24

IrcsomeBot1<LtVerdier> Thakns for this answer. The '/home/~' belong to me, I did a chown -R from "~/.config" to test your solution and wait for the screen lock06:48
iotakahello, on a laptop I'm testing firefox -> hamburger menu -> customize ... -> disabled Title Bar07:25
iotakain this way I recovered some precious pixels07:25
iotakathe only thing is that the title of the tabs are dark gray on slightly lighter gray07:25
iotakait happens also to you?07:25

dv_hi. kubuntu 20.04 running here. works well overall, except that the systray icons are blank. so, the systray is there, the icons are there (i can see the context menus when I right-click there), but the are where I nornmally would see the icons are empty.08:19
dv_I can't find a bug report about this. if I remove the systray and reinsert it into the panel again, the icons do show up.08:20
dv_icons from KDE specific subsystems like kde connect or the clipboard do appear, however.08:23
IrcsomeBot1<LtVerdier> @valorie, No relation with the ownership. I was the owner of the entire /home/~. Do you have another explanation ? It's a safety problem for me...09:22

masonbee-MBluesKaj: Top of the Riot screen (using the web client) there is a lot of stuff about Kubuntu 18.10 being released today.16:57
BluesKajmasonbee-M, 18.10 is EOL17:02
BluesKaj!EOL17:03
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades17:03
masonbee-MBluesKaj: At the top of this forums page, it says it is being released today 😇17:03
masonbee-MBluesKaj: Who do I contact to get them to update is?17:04
BluesKajwell, it's obviously out of date no matter what that url states17:05
=== me is now known as Guest48696
masonbee-MYes, but it should probably be changed is what i am getting at. I figured you either are, or would know who is, the admin.17:06
BluesKajno idea who the admin would be, but you can report that in #kubuntu-devel chat if you wish17:08
masonbee-MOK, thank you.17:09

jukebohiSlight discrepancy in 18.0418:09
jukebohihtop is saying all cores are free and System Monitor is saying 60-80% of CPU in use18:09
jukebohi'sudo dpkg --configure -a' has been running an hour18:10
jukebohiI have no idea what is sucking up the CPU, because I cannot see any process in the Process Table that would be using it, nor can I see any load in htop18:11

IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/UkHJgHIh/file_29109.jpg hi my computer isn't booting, it reaches this point and then nothing what should I do?22:54
tomreynsalvaconnome: which kubuntu version is this? can you speculate on the cause of the malfunction - did it work previously, what changed?22:57
tomreynsalvaconnome: basic hardware details would also help.22:57
tomreynand try switching to a tty, see whether oyu got a text login prompt there.22:57
tomreyn!tty22:57
ubottuTo get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution22:57
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> I'm on Kubuntu 19.1022:57
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> I had another problem first, I can't turn off the power. It was stuck at reboot: power down22:59
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> I tried doing an update to the system and then rebooted23:00

tomreyndoh, your /boot is a 53 GB file system23:13
tomreynthat's unusually large23:13
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> lulz23:13
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> is that a problem or just an unusual thing?23:14
tomreynthe kernel image listed on the top of your grub menu shot, which will be booted by default, looks like a kernel-ppa image.23:15
tomreyn/boot being huge is probably just unusual, i assume it's not a problem23:15
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> should I remove this kernel and go back to the old one?23:15
tomreynmaybe later, for now now just reboot to one of the 5.3.0 ones23:17
tomreynsee whether this makes booting work again23:17
tomreynwhich graphics hardware and driver do you have there?23:17
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> Nvidia. don't remember exactly, is an old PC, I'll tell you in a moment when I reboot on 5.323:18
tomreynno more questions, your honor.23:20
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> 😆23:20
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> hahaha23:20
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> okay 5.3 is working23:21
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/m7Kd7R08/file_29113.jpg23:21
tomreynso you were using old nvidia hardware with maybe their proprietary driver (probably a very old one, too, then) with an unsupported test kernel, and that didn't let the nvidia driver start up properly. i'm not terribly surprised.23:22
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> 😅 sorry23:23
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> GeForce 8600 GT23:23
tomreynno worries. ;)23:23
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> G8423:23
tomreynreleased in april 200723:24
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> any other info you need? what should I do now? delete new kernel and stay with old one?23:24
tomreynyes, keep using supported kernel images and you'll probably be more or less fine23:25
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> okay23:25
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-unsigned-5.6.0-050600-generic23:25
tomreynwith this old a graphics card you'll probably also have a very old CPU, though23:25
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> is this the best way?23:25
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> yes23:25
tomreyni'd always prefer apt23:26
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz23:26
tomreynapt purge linux-image-unsigned-5.6.0-050600-generic23:26
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> thanks will do that then23:26
tomreynchances are this cpu got no or not all the meltdown / spectre security patches23:27
tomreynit'll also eat much power compare dto todays' systems with similar compute power.23:28
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> yikes23:29
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> so I'll should throw it trough the window and then pick the pieces and send it to the trash?23:30
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> problem is I have no money to buy a new one atm23:31
tomreynwell, if you have the coins to replace it.23:31
tomreynsee ;)23:31
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> haha23:31
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> it's not my computer actually but my mom's... I have a much faster and newer laptop...23:32
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> anyways23:32
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> I uninstalled the kernel and are rebooting now to see if it starts normally23:32
tomreynaha, so mom gets the trash! ;-)23:34
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> It wasn't trash when she got it (10 years ago)23:34
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> lmao23:34
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> was a pretty decent computer at that time23:35
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> time flies23:35
tomreynif you have a good book, yes23:36
=== dilfridge is now known as DarthDilfridge
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> okay so now the computers turns on okay but it won't turn off23:47
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> sometimes it says nothing sometimes it says this reboot: shut down message23:48
tomreynhmm, those are usually caused by buggy bioses, bioses not supporting linux well23:52
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> sudo shutdown -h from tty worked fine23:52
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> yeah the bios from this monstrosity of a computer is buggy a.f.23:53
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> I'm doomed then23:53
tomreynyou got the latest there was?23:53
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> nothing showed up on the screen23:53
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> it just went dark and then shut down23:54
tomreynalso there is possibly a workaround at http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html23:54
tomreyncomparing this dedicated graphics card https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+8600+GT&id=64 to 2016's (CPU) integrated graphics card: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Intel+Iris+Pro+580&id=348123:55
IrcsomeBot1<salvaconnome> lol I assume higher numbers are better23:58
