SheshHi04:28
SheshI have a theme which is clone of Breeze Light. No matter what value I give to the " rectangle ", the splash screen is still black in my custom splash screen04:29
SheshIt will nice if anyone can tell me what to change. I already change black to blue for " rectangle " in splash.qml, but even in splash screen preview it displays black04:30
user|48956Hey! I want to install kubuntu 18.04 LTS (32bit) along-side Windows 7. I don't have a CD/USB available. How can I dualboot without CD/USB?05:05
diogenes_user|48956, your question is not "How can I dualboot without CD/USB?" but "how do i install without CD/USB".05:09
SheshAny reason you prefer 18.04 ? 20.04 is available now05:11
SheshYou can download the ISO ( of your version choice ) and burn it to a DVD. I don't think it will fit in a CD05:11
Sheshhello :diogenes05:12
user|4895620.04 is not available for 32 bit systems05:16
user|48956diogenes_ you are right.05:16

ubottuSystems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there.12:36

IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> Hi!16:51
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> Setting up the Kubuntu right now. How do I change the position of Volume-OSD (now it appears in the center of the screen)? And the most important thing - how to replace the appearance of this OSD to show the volume percentage? โ€ฆ I have already set the volume control with LAlt+MouseWheel.16:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @Ridbowt, Volume OSD feedback does not have an "easy to configure" location setting.  However, newer versions of plasma (5.19) have reduced it's size.  And the ability to toggle between value and percent was lost in transition from KDE 4 to KDE 5 if memory serves correctly.17:07
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> So, if you have any coding background and really want those features, you could "submit a patch".   I too would like to be able to configure such item, but I do not have enough coding experience to fix and submit a patch.17:09
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> @DarinMiller, Thank you for the answer! I'm a little upset (okay, not a little ๐Ÿ˜‚) that it's impossible to turn on the percent display when you adjust the volume. If it were possible to change the theme of this OSD to another theme with percentage bar...17:13
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> And no, I'm not a coder...17:15
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Volume percents are tricky as max volumes have "hardware max" that can be overridden. So for simplicity of maintenance, I can see why the devs chose to avoid such feedback.  However, so many things are easily configurable in KDE, one would expect similar flexibility in volume feedback.17:18
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Another approach would be to file a bug/feature request.  Many of these interfaces are under active development and may be quickly addressed if brought to the devs attention.17:19
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Also, if you want to "sponsor" a dev to add the feature, I will assist with the sponsorship and participate in the implementation testing and feedback loop.17:20
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> @DarinMiller, Once again, thank you for your detailed answers. But I'm a simple user, never been so deeply involved in development. I just like to customize the system. ๐Ÿ˜„17:25
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Filing a bug report is very easy for us "mortals" (bugs.kde.org).  Unlike big corporations,  we can actually communicate with devs.  As long as we willing the help them help us, they are very receptive.17:29
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Have you seen Nate's website? https://pointieststick.com/17:29
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> The KDE devs are awesome and are open to new ideas.  Granted, their resources are limited, so patience is often required when fixing bugs and requesting new features.17:31
IrcsomeBot<nash_g5> (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/wkAV7bHY/file_30547.jpg I love kubuntu and KDE17:57
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> @DarinMiller, I don't often read developer blogs in English (as you noticed, my English is not exactly native). Usually I read technical articles: put this code in the terminal, enter the sudo password, press Ctrl+X, and so on. ๐Ÿ˜„ But yes, honor and praise to the developers! It's a good thing they do!18:02

BluesKaj@Ridbowt , check your system tray>configure system tray>and set the audio volume icon to your prefernce there, it should use the volume % when the cursor is passed over the icon18:07
BluesKajand it can be set if clicked on18:09
IrcsomeBot<nash_g5> @DarinMiller, I find it very lucky that we can communicate with our favourite desktop Devs and they also ask us our opinion.18:16
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @nash_g5, I fully agree!18:18
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @BluesKaj, I did not realize that hover scroll on the  sys tray volume icon showed the percentage.  Good to know.  (my keyboard has a volume "roller" which I use 99% of the time).18:20
IrcsomeBot<nash_g5> (Photo, 444x390) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/50Zrbbua/file_30548.jpg Another small detail I like about KDE - it displays battery % of my wireless keyboard18:34
IrcsomeBot<Ridbowt> @BluesKaj> @Ridbowt , check your system tray>configure system tray, yes, I can see % when I hover the mouse cursor over the volume-button18:36

gore31hi, do you see any issue with KAddressbook while setting up "address book" with vCard File... ? It does not work at my side: Kubuntu 20.04, minimal install (then installed Kontact by apt) << there is created empty folder with "akonadi_vcard_resource_3" name, thx.18:48
wxli don't know why but lately i've been having intermittent issues of kwin going to 100% cpu in 18.04. any clues?18:51
wxl`kwin --replace` has no effect18:52
wxlerr kwin_x11 actually. curious.18:54
wxloh well18:55
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> wxl, kwin_x11 is the offending process?18:55
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> And killing kwin_x11 without restarting fixed the CPU usage, but goes to 100% on when started?18:56
=== RoeyYallaNuKvar is now known as BuyRoeyACintiq
wxl@DarinMiller yep yep and nope actually19:05
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> kwin_x11 is also a bit "flckery"  and requires a restart on 20.04, but has not  exhibited excess cpu usage (yet).19:07
wxlsigh i should probably just upgrade blah19:07
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Flickering seems to occur when exiting a vulkan game under wine/proton.  kwin_x11 โ€”replace "fixes" it.19:08
wxli am using nomachine to connect remotely and i'm also using virtualbox, so those could be culprits19:13
wxlinterestingly a logout/login cycle seems to have helped19:14
wxlnomachine was never disconnected, admittedly, and restarting virtualbox never helped19:14
* wxl shrugs19:14

ThothCastelbetween I am able to pair a Bluetooth mouse and it works fine19:49
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Which version of Kubuntu?  All my BT devices work with several of my Kubuntu desktops/laptops.  But I don't have the Anker speaker.19:49
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Perhaps try this solution? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=24967519:51
ThothCastelIrcsomeBot: I am using Debian Buster with  KDE Plasma20:13
ThothCastelbut since kubuntu is based debian, ithink it will be roughly the same20:13

ThothCasteljust like with the anker speaker20:17

ThothCastelthis mac address is the speaker's address21:03
ThothCastelso it seems that the linux instance doesn't have the right protocol available.21:04
