kevin1aHello fellow Linux enthusiasts.  I recently switched from Budgie to KDE and have been exploring the excellent selection of K* software.  Does anyone have experience with kbackup?  I've had no problems backing up, but I see no option in the GUI for restore?  Is the "official" restore method just to untar the archive in the correct location?03:39

kdfrikHello11:52
kdfrikI want to know something about Kubuntu11:52
kdfrikCan someone tell me?11:53
kdfrikHello11:55
kdfrikIs anybody here?11:55
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> yes11:57
kdfrikIrcsomeBot Can you tell me can we install non-kde applications on Kubuntu?11:57
kdfrikBecause on KDE Neon, they don't support11:58
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Yes, non-kde apps should work fine under kubuntu.11:59
kdfrikI saw a benchmark in which it showed that KDE Neon uses less RAM than Kubuntu and even Xubuntu12:00
kdfrikIs that correct?12:00
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Kubuntu has a light install option that will more closely match Neon.  The std versioninstalls a few more default packages.12:02
kdfrikAnd can we install non-KDE applications in that light install option?12:04
kdfrikHello?12:07
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> yes, can either install the light version and install the needed apps.12:08
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> or install the regular version and uninstall the apps you don't need.12:08
kdfrikAnd will the visuals be the same as the non-light install?12:08
kdfrikLike animations, transaparency12:09
kdfrikIrcsomeBot12:09
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Themes, styles, colors, etc. are available on all versions.12:10
kdfrikOkay, thank you so much12:10

IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Hi, i have problem with kde on kubuntu. I use laptop with external display connected by hdmi. After installation i configured external display as primary, and set their location relative to each other. After reboot, plasmashell doesn't work on the external monitor. Only black screen, but i can use programs and run krunner from it. I discovered that if i stop plasmashell and then run "plasmashell" from terminal, everything works14:31
IrcsomeBotfine. Help me please14:31
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 20.04?14:32
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @DarinMiller, Yes14:32
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Does unplug/repluging the HDMI cable restore the previous setup?14:33
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @DarinMiller, No, nothing is going on14:34
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> I use xrender, because i have lags eith opengl14:35
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Of it's important14:35
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Not sure what you mean... But to clarify my question, if you unplug the HDMI cable after reboot and plug it back it, does it cause plasma to restore the correct monitor layout?14:36
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @liberatorf, In compositor setting there is choice between opengl and xrender as rendering backend14:40
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I doubt xrender is part of the issue.14:40
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Ok14:40
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> What video card  (and drivers if not Intel)?14:41
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Nvidia14:41
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> How to check which driver is installed?14:44
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Run this in a terminal: lspci | grep VGA14:44

IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Did you install NVidia drivers?14:46
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> No14:46
IrcsomeBotSergey Black was added by: Sergey Black14:47
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I strongly recommend installing the NVidia drivers. Use System Settings -> Driver Manger.14:48
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> If i run "killall plasmashell" and then "plasmashell" everything is ok14:48
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @DarinMiller, Ok14:48
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I recommend "plasmashell —replace &" to restart the plasmashell.14:49
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> (Photo, 1280x302) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/BwmvbeA0/file_34391.jpg14:50
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @DarinMiller, Everything is ok, both screens works fine14:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Looks like the NVidia driver is already installed.  Run nvidia-settings (either from the command line or KDE menu)14:52
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Given the opengl is not working you may want to try the 340 version of the driver.14:52
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> @DarinMiller, It launched14:53
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Do you have a Prime Profiles option?14:54
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Yes14:54
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> If so, which card is selected?  Judging by your previous screenshot, you have a hybrid system (both intel and NVidia GPUs)14:55
IrcsomeBot<liberatorf> Nvidia (Performance mode)14:55
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Try changing your video driver to the 340.108 version and test your system.  Ensure change from xrender to opengl.  NVidia should work flawlessly with OpenGL when the correct drivers are installed.14:57
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> This issue is common with older NVidia cards where the correct default driver is not always installed.14:58

sadielHello everyone, I hope you are all doing fine19:16
sadielI got this strange issue with my kubuntu system since this morning. Son keys are turning on and off the system volume19:16
sadielI mean, whenever I hit the space bar, for instance, the sound turns off. If I hit it again it turns on. It means sound is on and off multiple times everytime I write a parragraph likes this!19:17
sadielIt's really annoying. Don't know how it began in the first place. Have I made something wrong, did I turn on accidentally some system feature that makes my system behave like this? Any help will be greatly appreciated19:19
tespiHave you tried using a different keyboard?19:21
sadielIm  working on a laptop,  need to work with this keyboard19:27
sadielIt's  an old one19:27
sadielI got this problem not only with the space bar, but also with the "n" key19:28
sadielIs there any way I can sort out if this is a software or a hardware problem?19:29
tespiYou could pull up a console and type in: xev -event keyboard19:30
tespiThis will pop up a small window that prints in the terminal whatever key presses is detected19:30
tespiSo you could press your space bar and 'n' keys and see if it receives any strange keyboard input19:31
sadielThank you. I get this:19:33
sadielKeymapNotify event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x0,19:33

sadiel    state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen YES,19:33
sadiel    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:19:33
tespiPlease don't paste multiple lines like that in here, you can use a paste service like https://paste.ubuntu.com19:34
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> btw, keycode event for space and "n" should be 65 and 57 resp.19:34
tespiBut this does look like the keyboard is sending the audio mute key19:34
tespiSo it seems like a hardware issue to me19:36
sadielHello?19:39
tespiHello19:40
sadielThank you  Tespi19:40
sadielSo,  can I solve this with software ?  Can I  tell the system not to mute audio with  those  keys?19:41
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @liberatorf, Marc, try re-installing the 390 driver, set PRIME Profile to Intel,  remove the 390 driver. and re-try installing the 340 driver.19:43
tespiHmm, you could remap it with tools like xmodmap but I'm not sure whether KDE has a better solution19:43
tespixmodmap should at least work though19:44
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> By chance is the function key on the laptop stuck?  Try exercising it a few times.  Maybe something spilled on it?19:44
sadiel Thank you so  much,  Tespi!  I  will  try it out!19:45
tespiGood luck19:45
sadiel Thank   you!19:46
