[00:09] <Yoowzur> hello everyone, this might be a weird thing to ask but what made you guys decide to use a distro where software is not rolling? i'm currently wondering whether i should use kubuntu or neon or maybe even manjaro
[00:14] <dillon> is there someone here who is fluent in Kubuntu
[01:55] <johndripper> can anybody suggest me a a screen recorder for linux that can do timelapse?

[04:03] <oerheks> rolling sounds nice, if you have enough testers. and in 'rolling' there are grades of upgrades too.
[04:07] <oerheks> dirtycajunrice fix your connection, thanks
[04:13] <Yoowzur> hey oerheks
[04:14] <Yoowzur> i should've been more specific, i want a stable base system but would like to have access to the latest stable software releases
[04:15] <Yoowzur> but a lot of linux users just stick with the version that's in the distro's repo, i wonder why?
[06:02] <daniJava> unbelievible, i manage it to make kubuntu frozen, while using just another font in my game that im developing with Java and IntelliJ
[06:02] <daniJava> (i made custom font)
[06:07] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:34] <eeos> hi all, I do have preview working anymore in dolphin on 18.04 lts 64 bit .... the preview is active, but it does not show previews of jpg, png etc files ....
 Morning
 I changed resolution and kubuntu freezed. I can still move mouse around or access to tty2. I tried everything (changin xorg.conf, editing nvidia-setting conf or using xrandr) I am not able to reset the resolution of the screen and login in plasma desktop
 What should I do?
 Something weird happened with refresh rate and 1024 x 768 resolution
 I use 1280 x 1024 most of the times
 I need the last one to.make the screen work
 I also tried to create another user to see if the resolution woul reset but nada
[07:12] <lordievader> Franzpow, you could use `xrandr` to change the resolution of your screen on an tty (be sure to export your `DISPLAY` variable beforehand)
 I used "export DISPLAY=:0" and I was able.to use xrandr but when I tried to change the resolution it didn't work
 It gave me multiple errors
[07:16] <lordievader> What errors?
 I will go to my machine now and tell you
 I just had a long night trying to fix it and now I am just in a cadaveric state lol
 lordievader: I did export default=:0
 Now what to do to change the resolution?
[07:52] <lordievader> Err, that needs to be `export DISPLAY=:0` ;)
[07:52] <lordievader> First check what is available with a simple `xrandr`.
 lordievader sure! I just wrote the command badly here but executed correctly on the terminal :)
 I have 4 resolutions … 1280x1024 60.02 + 75.02 … 1024x768 75.03 70.07* 60.00
 As you see it's stuck on that resolution 1024x768 with that weird refresh rate
[07:54] <lordievader> What is the name?
[07:54] <lordievader> of the display
 VGA-0
 But when I do xrandr --output VGA-0 1280x1024
 I am not able to do that
[07:56] <lordievader> Right, I have a work around for that. Do you know where your gui is running, which TTY?
 Or  … But when I do xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024
 Tty2
[07:56] <lordievader> The gui, not your current one ;)
[07:56] <lordievader> But, what does it do with the --mode flag?
 It just adds a new resolution I think..
 How to see that? Where my gui is running I mean
 If I do xrandr -s 1280x1024 nothing changes
[08:00] <lordievader> Usually it is on tty 7 (or tty 1). Switch to it and see if you get your X session.
 Ctrl-alt f7?
[08:01] <lordievader> Yes
 It just gets stuck to … [Ok] Finished Terminate plymouth boot screen
[08:01] <lordievader> Anyhow, on tty2 you run `sleep 5; xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024` Then switch to the gui session.
 What? Ctrl alt f1 just made me login into plasna
 Plasna
[08:02] <lordievader> Erm, is X running?
[08:02] <lordievader> So it is running on tty1
 Yeah but I got a weird screen when I tried to login plasma
 I was not immediately prompted with tty2
 When I had this problem yesterday
 I changed the resolution! I'll try to reboot
 :O now it works!
 Thank you lordievader
[08:04] <lordievader> Good to hear
 Can you explain me why it was working just on tty1?
[08:06] <lordievader> Why what was working?
 I mean why I had to switch to tty1
 To make it work
[08:08] <lordievader> Oh, no idea. I just know from personal experience that the trick with the sleep works. I guess the session needs to be open for resolutions to switch or something.
 Strange.. I did not used the command you told me
 Just pressed ctrl alt f1
 Can you explain me the difference between ctrl-alt-f1 and f7?
[08:10] <lordievader> Oh, you just switched to tty1 then?
[08:11] <lordievader> ctrl+alt+f1 switches to tty1, ctrl+alt+f7 switches to tty7, etc.
[08:11] <lordievader> Originally tty 1-6 were reserved for text sessions and 7+ for graphical sessions. But "recently" this has been abandoned more and more.
 lordievader: yep
 So these are like multiple sessions of my desktop?
[08:15] <lordievader> Yes, Linux is a multi-user system. For example, if you would hit the switch user button in the lock screen it would simply spawn a new sddm in the next session (likely tty2 in your case). Then if you want to switch back to the original session you can simply go back to tty1.
 Understood. Thank you for the explanation!
[08:28] <eeos> hi all, I do have preview working anymore in dolphin on 18.04 lts 64 bit .... the preview is active, but it does not show previews of jpg, png etc files ....
[10:01] <freiform> Hi, what is the proper way to set up XRDP on 20.04? I want to be able to connect to a headless system. Just installing XRDP won't allow me to connect unless logged in on the box in question. If I am logged in, I only get a black screen with a mouse pointer and a KDE backgound image. any advice?
[11:57] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[12:11] <BluesKaj> hi @Enis B
[12:23] <freiform> What is the proper way to set up XRDP on 20.04? I want to be able to connect to a headless system. Just installing XRDP won't allow me to connect unless logged in on the box in question. If I am logged in, I only get a black screen with a mouse pointer and a KDE backgound image. any advice?
 @freiform, I see the same behavior with blank screen using xfreerdp and an RDP connection.  Also, kwin_x11 and plasma crash on the remote machine when connection is established.  Looks like a bug in KDE.  By chance did you report the issue on bugs.kde.org?
[15:33] <feodoran> I have some 3D game which works on ubuntu, but not kubuntu. Does anyone have an idea how to pin down what is exactly is going wrong?
[15:34] <diogenes_> feodoran, start it from terminal.
[15:35] <feodoran> diogenes_: terminal just calls the steam launcher
 which games?
[15:41] <feodoran> https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/surviving-mars-ubuntu-18-04-segfault-right-at-start-of-game.1179185/
 I have never played Surviving Mars.  By chance have you tried running it with Lutris?  Lutris may expose some options that may help.
[16:01] <feodoran> what options should I try? right now it looks like lutris is just calling the steam launcher as well
 Linux version of Steam or window version of steam?
[16:06] <feodoran> linux version, the game runs natively
 Oh!
[16:07] <feodoran> is that a good or a bad "oh"?
 Have you tried turning off Composting?  I use a shortcut: System Settings -> Global Shortcuts -> KWin - Suspend Compositing
[16:10] <feodoran> do you mean System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor? I have this disabled anyway (I don't like transparency effects on my desktop)
 Yes, that should be the same.... hmmmm.
[16:11] <feodoran> but enabling it, does not help either
 I am running out of ideas.... Strange that game runs under GNOME but not KDE.... AMD has multiple driver options, have your tried others?
[16:17] <feodoran> driver options? which are there and how do I change/test these?
 Since I don't have an AMD card, I cannot speak from experience. However, the RADV, ADMGPU-PRO, and ADMVLK.  You could try the AMD PPA: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
[16:25] <feodoran> hm ... that would be more of an workaround instead of identifing the actual problem?
 Unfortunately I agree.  I have seen tests on phoronix where some not all drivers run all games.  Quite often, PPA will contain updates to mesa and the driver stack that will appear much sooner than in the Ubuntu repos.  Since GNOME runs the game, I do not suspect Mesa or kernel drivers.
 Thus, I recommend filing a bug at bugs.kde.org.
[16:34] <feodoran> are there any  KDE specific logs that might be helpful for a bug report?
[16:34] <Guest31013> ciao, qualcuno puo' aiutarmi con la stampante, sto cercando di configurarla su kubuntu ma non riesco, quando faccio aggiungi stampante  mi esce il nome della stampante wifi (stampanti di rete rilevate) ci clikko sopra e mi si apre un format dove inserire ip e coda. matto ip 192.168.01.4 ma non mi si attiva il pulsante "avanti" resta tutto inattivo. La stampante è brother mfc-l3750cdw
[16:34] <Guest31013> 192.168.1.4
 Ciao se vuoi parlare in italiano devi andare su ubuntu-it altrimenti dovrai chiedere in inglese
 Perché qui parlano inglese
 Purtroppo non posso aiutarti perché non saprei risolvere il problema
[16:36] <Guest31013> ok grazie, pensavo di essere in quello italiano. scusate
 Di nulla!
[17:25] <denki> hello
[17:27] <Hiryu> If I set KDE to suspend my system after being idle, what counts as non-idle use? Is it just desktop usage? Do SSH sessions keep the system up?
 check under in the system tray under Battery and Brightness to see applications blocking suspend mode.
 hello folks.
 (Photo, 692x396) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/aYGigev0/file_30432.jpg just wondering if I should do something about this
 nothing to do Avinash, you're good
