[04:28] <Shesh> Hi
[04:29] <Shesh> I 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 screen
[04:30] <Shesh> It 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 black
[05:05] <user|48956> Hey! 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?
[05:09] <diogenes_> user|48956, your question is not "How can I dualboot without CD/USB?" but "how do i install without CD/USB".
[05:11] <Shesh> Any reason you prefer 18.04 ? 20.04 is available now
[05:11] <Shesh> You can download the ISO ( of your version choice ) and burn it to a DVD. I don't think it will fit in a CD
[05:12] <Shesh> hello :diogenes
[05:16] <user|48956> 20.04 is not available for 32 bit systems
[05:16] <user|48956> diogenes_ you are right.
[05:21] <Shesh> didn't read properly
[05:22] <Shesh> I cannot think anything but network install
[05:22] <Shesh> I haven't tried myself though.
[06:16] <lordievader> Good morning

 Hi!
 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? … I have already set the volume control with LAlt+MouseWheel.
 @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.
 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.
 @DarinMiller, Thank you for the answer! I'm a little upset (okay, not a little 😂) 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...
 And no, I'm not a coder...
 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.
 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.
 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.
 @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. 😄
 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.
 Have you seen Nate's website? https://pointieststick.com/
 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.
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/wkAV7bHY/file_30547.jpg I love kubuntu and KDE
 @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. 😄 But yes, honor and praise to the developers! It's a good thing they do!
[18:07] <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 icon
[18:09] <BluesKaj> and it can be set if clicked on
 @DarinMiller, I find it very lucky that we can communicate with our favourite desktop Devs and they also ask us our opinion.
 @nash_g5, I fully agree!
 @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).
 (Photo, 444x390) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/50Zrbbua/file_30548.jpg Another small detail I like about KDE - it displays battery % of my wireless keyboard
 @BluesKaj> @Ridbowt , check your system tray>configure system tray, yes, I can see % when I hover the mouse cursor over the volume-button
 (Photo, 576x144) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ec070yc3/file_30549.jpg But look, it's possible!
[18:48] <gore31> hi, 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.
[18:51] <wxl> i don't know why but lately i've been having intermittent issues of kwin going to 100% cpu in 18.04. any clues?
[18:52] <wxl> `kwin --replace` has no effect
[18:54] <wxl> err kwin_x11 actually. curious.
[18:55] <wxl> oh well
 wxl, kwin_x11 is the offending process?
 And killing kwin_x11 without restarting fixed the CPU usage, but goes to 100% on when started?
[19:05] <wxl> @DarinMiller yep yep and nope actually
 kwin_x11 is also a bit "flckery"  and requires a restart on 20.04, but has not  exhibited excess cpu usage (yet).
[19:07] <wxl> sigh i should probably just upgrade blah
 Flickering seems to occur when exiting a vulkan game under wine/proton.  kwin_x11 —replace "fixes" it.
[19:13] <wxl> i am using nomachine to connect remotely and i'm also using virtualbox, so those could be culprits
[19:14] <wxl> interestingly a logout/login cycle seems to have helped
[19:14] <wxl> nomachine was never disconnected, admittedly, and restarting virtualbox never helped
[19:14]  * wxl shrugs

[19:46] <ThothCastel> this device should work with linux, shouldn't it?

[19:46] <ThothCastel> bluetooth 4.0
[19:46] <ThothCastel> it works fine with Win10Pro and also with iphone 6 and 6S
[19:47] <ThothCastel> in my linux laptop it won't connect
[19:47] <ThothCastel> it discovers it but not connect
[19:47] <ThothCastel> :S
[19:49] <ThothCastel> between I am able to pair a Bluetooth mouse and it works fine
 Which version of Kubuntu?  All my BT devices work with several of my Kubuntu desktops/laptops.  But I don't have the Anker speaker.
 Perhaps try this solution? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=249675
[20:13] <ThothCastel> IrcsomeBot: I am using Debian Buster with  KDE Plasma
[20:13] <ThothCastel> but since kubuntu is based debian, ithink it will be roughly the same
[20:15] <ThothCastel> IrcsomeBot: the link you sent me asks me to type a command in
[20:15] <ThothCastel> pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
[20:15] <ThothCastel> I did and
[20:16] <ThothCastel> output is:
[20:16] <ThothCastel> Failure: Module initialization failed
[20:16] <ThothCastel> IrcsomeBot: the problem is also with Iphone connections
[20:17] <ThothCastel> as I understand, it should connect fine
[20:17] <ThothCastel> but the connection fails
[20:17] <ThothCastel> just like with the anker speaker
 Without the actual hw to test myself, I don
[21:03] <ThothCastel> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/zsSUDyEn/
[21:03] <ThothCastel> this mac address is the speaker's address
[21:04] <ThothCastel> so it seems that the linux instance doesn't have the right protocol available.
