[00:09] <Crell> Hm.  I can start krunner from the command line, and it works once, but then not again?
[00:09] <Crell> That's... weird.
 crell have you uninstalled it and tried again?
 purge files
[00:50] <Crell> I have not.  Which package is krunner in?
[00:52] <genii> plasma-workspace
 crell: 'sudo apt purge krunner' then reinstall it
[01:14] <genii> krunner is not it's own package. It is a component of the package previously mentioned, plasma-workspace
[01:14] <genii> !info krunnner
[01:14] <genii> eg^
 apt search krunner
 has plenty of info
[01:16] <genii> ..also, easier instead of purging them reinstalling, is : sudo apt-get install --reinstall <whatever>
[01:16] <Crell> Hm.  That seems a bad thing to uninstall. :-)  I'll try the reinstall command.
 purging will get rid of all files and configs, not the same
 two different things
[01:17] <Crell> After doing a reinstall, do I need to restart KDE?
 shouldn't need to
[01:18] <Crell> Are you bridged in from Slack or something? :-)
[01:18] <genii> @sigAIO install -reinstall overwites whatever filles it currently has with factory install config files
[01:18] <Crell> Still no Alt-F2 response.  Running `krunner` on the command line brings up the dialog once, but once only.
 If I run into problems and I need to reinstall a package that I have no need to save config files I purge packages.
[03:57] <emma> does kubuntu have a bootable usb drive creator?
 yes, in kubuntu 20.04: usb-creator-kde

 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 ?

[06:24] <valorie> @LtVerdier - that makes me suspect that you have a permissions problem in your home
[06:24] <valorie> probably in your ~/.config
[06:24] <valorie> probably chowning your home will fix that
[06:24] <valorie> !chown
[06:30] <IrcsomeBot1> Mpramono was added by: Mpramono
 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 lock
[07:25] <iotaka> hello, on a laptop I'm testing firefox -> hamburger menu -> customize ... -> disabled Title Bar
[07:25] <iotaka> in this way I recovered some precious pixels
[07:25] <iotaka> the only thing is that the title of the tabs are dark gray on slightly lighter gray
[07:25] <iotaka> it happens also to you?
[07:27] <lordievader> Good mornin
[07:27] <lordievader>  * Good morning
[08:19] <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.
[08:20] <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.
[08:23] <dv_> icons from KDE specific subsystems like kde connect or the clipboard do appear, however.
 @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...

[12:10] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[16:57]  * masonbee-M uploaded an image: Screenshot_20200507_185636.png (23KB) < https://kde.modular.im/_matrix/media/r0/download/kde.org/pejaIUfRcGCnQCexQCxfCMrq >
[16:57] <masonbee-M> BluesKaj: Top of the Riot screen (using the web client) there is a lot of stuff about Kubuntu 18.10 being released today.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> masonbee-M, 18.10 is EOL
[17:03] <BluesKaj> !EOL
[17:03] <masonbee-M> BluesKaj: At the top of this forums page, it says it is being released today 😇
[17:04] <masonbee-M> BluesKaj: Who do I contact to get them to update is?
[17:05] <BluesKaj> well, it's obviously out of date no matter what that url states
[17:06] <masonbee-M> Yes, but it should probably be changed is what i am getting at. I figured you either are, or would know who is, the admin.
[17:08] <BluesKaj> no idea who the admin would be, but you can report that in #kubuntu-devel chat if you wish
[17:09] <masonbee-M> OK, thank you.
[17:09] <BluesKaj> np
[17:10] <RikMills> there are no admins for matrix
[17:36] <housecat> https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/703
[17:36] <housecat> it's just the matrix bridge failing again
[17:37] <RikMills> I assumed so
[18:09] <jukebohi> Slight discrepancy in 18.04
[18:09] <jukebohi> htop is saying all cores are free and System Monitor is saying 60-80% of CPU in use
[18:10] <jukebohi> 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' has been running an hour
[18:11] <jukebohi> I 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 htop

 have you tried restarting your session?
 (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?
[22:57] <tomreyn> salvaconnome: which kubuntu version is this? can you speculate on the cause of the malfunction - did it work previously, what changed?
[22:57] <tomreyn> salvaconnome: basic hardware details would also help.
[22:57] <tomreyn> and try switching to a tty, see whether oyu got a text login prompt there.
[22:57] <tomreyn> !tty
 I'm on Kubuntu 19.10
 I had another problem first, I can't turn off the power. It was stuck at reboot: power down
 I tried doing an update to the system and then rebooted
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/MKJuv7zQ/file_29110.jpg
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/15f00Nh1/file_29111.jpg
 will try in a moment
 tty works
 I'm on tty right now
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/IdYY687W/file_29112.jpg
[23:13] <tomreyn> doh, your /boot is a 53 GB file system
[23:13] <tomreyn> that's unusually large
 lulz
 is that a problem or just an unusual thing?
[23:15] <tomreyn> the 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 problem
 should I remove this kernel and go back to the old one?
[23:17] <tomreyn> maybe later, for now now just reboot to one of the 5.3.0 ones
[23:17] <tomreyn> see whether this makes booting work again
[23:17] <tomreyn> which graphics hardware and driver do you have there?
 Nvidia. don't remember exactly, is an old PC, I'll tell you in a moment when I reboot on 5.3
[23:20] <tomreyn> no more questions, your honor.
 😆
 hahaha
 okay 5.3 is working
 (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/m7Kd7R08/file_29113.jpg
[23:22] <tomreyn> so 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.
 😅 sorry
 GeForce 8600 GT
[23:23] <tomreyn> no worries. ;)
 G84
[23:24] <tomreyn> released in april 2007
 any other info you need? what should I do now? delete new kernel and stay with old one?
[23:25] <tomreyn> yes, keep using supported kernel images and you'll probably be more or less fine
 okay
 sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-unsigned-5.6.0-050600-generic
[23:25] <tomreyn> with this old a graphics card you'll probably also have a very old CPU, though
 is this the best way?
 yes
[23:26] <tomreyn> i'd always prefer apt
 Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
[23:26] <tomreyn> apt purge linux-image-unsigned-5.6.0-050600-generic
 thanks will do that then
[23:27] <tomreyn> chances are this cpu got no or not all the meltdown / spectre security patches
[23:28] <tomreyn> it'll also eat much power compare dto todays' systems with similar compute power.
 yikes
 so I'll should throw it trough the window and then pick the pieces and send it to the trash?
 problem is I have no money to buy a new one atm
[23:31] <tomreyn> well, if you have the coins to replace it.
[23:31] <tomreyn> see ;)
 haha
 it's not my computer actually but my mom's... I have a much faster and newer laptop...
 anyways
 I uninstalled the kernel and are rebooting now to see if it starts normally
[23:34] <tomreyn> aha, so mom gets the trash! ;-)
 It wasn't trash when she got it (10 years ago)
 lmao
 was a pretty decent computer at that time
 time flies
[23:36] <tomreyn> if you have a good book, yes
 okay so now the computers turns on okay but it won't turn off
 sometimes it says nothing sometimes it says this reboot: shut down message
[23:52] <tomreyn> hmm, those are usually caused by buggy bioses, bioses not supporting linux well
 sudo shutdown -h from tty worked fine
 yeah the bios from this monstrosity of a computer is buggy a.f.
 I'm doomed then
[23:53] <tomreyn> you got the latest there was?
 nothing showed up on the screen
 it just went dark and then shut down
[23:54] <tomreyn> also there is possibly a workaround at http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html
[23:55] <tomreyn> comparing 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=3481
 lol I assume higher numbers are better
