[01:48] sup [02:10] @chak, yes pantheon is among the best for non tinkerers, pretty understandable [02:10] @chak, Idk, auto tiling is something that seems pretty useful for certain people but I like doing it manually [03:57] Hello! Can someone help me with an odd issue? Just installed fresh Kubuntu, and I've got probably a weird setup, where I have two HD monitors, and two 2K monitors, which may contribute to the issue. [03:57] When hovering over certain windows/text/text-inputs, my cursor jumps to about 3x the size it should be. [03:58] Seems fine over system title bars [04:00] @nieminen, Did you apply any accessibility features? [04:04] Nope, totally fresh. Installed, ran updates, restarted, and set up my monitor condfiguration. [04:04] I'll check and see if any are active though [04:04] Cool [04:04] Nothing seems apparent [04:05] Saw one Stack Exchange post that mentioned replacing the cursor pack with one that only contains a single resolution. I'd rather not unless it's my only option. [04:08] Running MSI GTX 1660. According to the driver manager, I'm on the open source driver. [04:10] https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/241449 [04:11] This answer suggests the auto login is part of the issue. I'll switch that and see if it makes a difference. [04:12] is kde plasma usable with wayland yet? [04:12] -Voidablazer:#kubuntu- ? [04:40] Voidablazer: I've found it so on my laptop. In fact as of 20.04, mysteriously Xorg no longer works right there, but Wayland *does*! [04:40] This causes some issues because Xorg 100% doesn't work and unfortunately SDDM still opens in Xorg, although it supports choosing Wayland sessions. So I had to go with another DM. But that was the biggest issue I've noticed. [04:41] @nieminen, Ok then it must be a bug. [04:42] Try changing cursor. [04:42] @nieminen, Possible [04:43] * keithzg-M had thought `do-release-upgarde -d` failing meant the upgrade was over . . . nope the sources are already switched over, okay, lets do this then :D [04:55] 20.10 beta is too unstable... [05:04] GalantGTR: Oh I have multiple other computers here at home, and even a dual-boot setup on the machine in question; unstable isn't a big concern for me! [05:04] Try to do anything, crashed the desktop, than the settings program...it's to early to use it as a beta. … It's an alfa version! [05:06] @keithzg-M, I have 2OS boot too.,Win10 and KUbuntu...but it's the first time that KUbuntu beta is so bad pre-released [05:10] GalantGTR: Well when you consider the release cadence it makes some sense; the last release was the LTS, a lot of the stuff in the *buntu repos for 20.10 is all the stuff that was held up because it wasn't necessarily tested and stable enough yet! [05:13] @keithzg-M, I had an lts 20.04 and do the upgrade to 20.10 beta...that was to bad... I'm really sad that this time is crashed 1/3 off all apps and around 25% of all process [05:14] I send a 1000yh reports...but I'm not sure that they can fixed all problems until 24.10 [05:14] If a lot of things are crashing, it's quite possible there's some single central issue. [05:18] @keithzg-M, I'm going to uo-2-date it everyday...but the problem that discover crashed...and I can't change the settings of updater source... [05:18] GalantGTR: No need to use Discover, just use `apt` from the terminal :) [05:18] Before I could choose between release and lts...now it's not possible [05:19] How to change that in terminal? [05:19] Uhhh, you can't because that's not something that can be changed. [05:19] That is to say: you've already upgraded past 20.04, which is the last LTS release. [05:20] You could do the very messy thing and change your sources in /etc/apt/sources.list to be focal rather than groovy, then force reinstallation of things manually. [05:20] But downgrading isn't really supported. [05:20] I was on 20.04lts...than upgrade to 20.10 beta :(( [05:21] Yeah, and 20.10 is not an LTS, thus Discover wouldn't give you the option to only upgrade to LTS releases. Next LTS would be 22.04. [05:21] I'm waiting for a release...than it's possible to run the discover I think [05:22] 22.04? [05:22] Maybe, it won't just magically fix when there's a release though. [05:22] Yeah, 22.04 is the next LTS, the LTS releases come out every 2 years. [05:22] Oh year every 2 years. U r right [05:23] Thx...I will try to reinstall 20.04 lts....if it's not possiy to downgrade [05:24] Well, it's possible! Just not officially supported ;) [05:25] If the stars align it might even be as simple as changing every instance of groovy to focal in /etc/apt/sources.list and then running `sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop^` or such [05:25] Chaos may ensure, however ;) === nizram1 is now known as nizram [05:29] s/ensure/ensue (chaos is not ensured, although it is also not unlikely, hah) [06:42] Good morning [07:15] do you suggest wayland with kde? [07:59] If I were you I would still wait a little bit. There has been a lot of progress with wayland on KDE recently but not all of it has found its way to Kubuntu yet and there is still a bunch of bugs. However if you want to try it it's definitely usable just not quite stable. If I were you I would wait at least until 21.04 but probably until 21.10 and then it might be kind of stable === cc is now known as Guest9804 [11:24] Hi all [12:20] Hello. I search a smarcontrol packet adapted to Plasma. Doest exist? [12:21] I have read a tutorial with gsmarcontrol [12:22] g is for Gnome, I suppose? [12:27] floown, /var/lib/smartmontools/ perjaps [12:27] perhaps even [13:13] hello everybody ! [13:13] I have Kubuntu 20.04 and have some problems [13:14] user|31610, just ask your question [13:15] I don't know how I hade an error and crash KDE plasma [13:15] now I can run latte dock [13:16] like impossible to reinstall proprely [13:16] I don't know if the best way is just to reinstall kubuntu ? [13:16] I have a / and /home partition [13:18] which kubuntu release? [13:18] 20.04 ok [13:19] have you updated and upgraded your packages lately? [13:21] I tried to update all yes, but changed nothing [13:21] not just update, but also upgrade [13:24] With a sudo apt upgrade ? === CompuDesktop is now known as Compu [13:24] yes [13:25] yes I dis that too [13:26] ok [13:27] look in /var/log/syslog for errors [13:28] I'm on Windows right now i need to reboot, It's possible to come back directly to this forum ? [13:29] yes, the kubuntu default irc client is Konversation [13:30] I'll come back in 1min then [13:34] I'm back [13:35] ok [13:35] I had bug with the interface too, like don't see widget, app or weird colors [13:36] which interface? [13:37] Kde plasma [13:38] do you have the default panel? [13:38] that mean ? [13:38] But i think yes [13:39] task manager etc [13:40] yes [13:43] I try to reset the panel too [13:44] what kind of gpu/graphics ? [13:44] intel core with a nvidia graphics [13:45] had to install nvidia driver afterwards [13:48] are you running in legacy bios mode or uefi? [13:49] I think uefi, how can I be sure ? === leaftype2 is now known as leaftype [13:50] run df -h in the terminal and look for /boot/efi [13:53] yes it's write /boot/efi [13:53] ok [13:54] was just making sure that your computer isn't too old to handle graphics like the latte dock thing [13:55] It's a good machine I won't have problems like that [14:00] ok now Open the KDE Application Launcher (button at the far left end of the Kicker --aka KDE Panel) and click the Applications tab at the bottom and then click Utilities. You should see an entry labeled Dock [14:05] I have nothing called Dock [14:05] but I have the Latte widget [14:07] it should show latte dock [14:09] brb [14:11] It open a very thin dock, but not the same settings,etc [14:12] well it worked here,.i just removed it [14:13] It worked the first time i install it.. [14:13] until I had my KDE issue [14:14] perhaps you could right click on the panel and adjust the height [14:15] @GalantGTR, That should be fixed in 20.10 now. May still crash until the system is rebooted or some cache somewhere clears. [14:16] @RikMills, yeah I'm using GG and have no issues with the dock [14:17] I tried [14:17] doesn't work [14:17] but I prefer the icons only taskbar instead [14:18] That look nice and the fact it appear on top of app when you're close is nice [14:20] that zoomt effect doesn't do much for me, but that's my taste [14:20] zoomy [14:22] Yes but it's not normal it doesn't work like the first time when i de/install it now [14:32] @RikMills, Seems another patch might be needed [14:48] Still no answer for why latte insn't working ? [14:57] @GalantGTR I have just uploaded a fix for discover settings page crash to 20.10. Hopefully that will be available to test in a few hrs [15:14] . was added by: . [15:30] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqJoytkNrt8 [15:53] Heyy [15:54] I have some issues with kubuntu 20.04 and I want to reinstall I like you can with Ubuntu [15:55] But after I restart with the USB boot and select download, I have the same procedure and they ask me the partitions of the disk [15:56] Do I need to format something? Just install like that? The aim is not to lose data [15:56] Thanks for your help I found nothing :) [16:00] user|698, 'I restart with the USB boot and select download'? [16:32] Is it possible to upgrade a 18.10 system anymore? [16:32] `sudo do-release-upgrade` doesn't work. [16:33] Hello. What is the error message ? [16:34] i'm « Michel labrie » its easier for me on Quassel xD So, steveire, what is error message (if error message appear) ? [16:34] `An upgrade from 'cosmic' to 'focal' is not supported with this tool. ` [16:35] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sYcVhcjDg2/ [16:35] Is there some other way? Just hack my sources.list? [16:35] I think that's what I used to do years ago. [16:37] Ok. I have check. Repository has been deleted (end of life since 2019). Maybe with replace all entrys in source files (manually replace cosmic to focal), and update + dist-upgrade and pray for work =) [16:37] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/590490/can-not-upgrade-ubuntu-18-10-to-higher-version [16:39] https://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2020/02/21/upgrading-from-an-unsupported-ubuntu/ === paul is now known as Guest35109 [16:43] steveire: You can try. But prepare a USB Key for reinstall from scratch if needed ^^ [16:56] Yes, I will. The blog approach didn't work for me, so I'm just hacking sources.list. === oskar is now known as Lerox [19:14] How can I change the volume control applet, to an applet from XFCE (xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin) [20:06] @Aristide, Maybe manually adding focal fossa repository links to update manager will work. Do delete old version repository links. [22:54] Sean Cano was added by: Sean Cano
