 @valorie, +1 … It is a public space and we should act with sensitivity to our surroundings.
[02:57] <valorie> exactly
 And @valorie has been among the most valuable contributors here, she would know more than almost anyone about Kubuntu support 😃
 *for several years
[02:58] <valorie> how nice of you to say so!
[02:59] <valorie> we want everyone to feel welcome to contribute
[03:00] <swift110> that is awesome
 I meant no disrespect towards any gender, i just wanted an icon fux xD
 @murdock86, Home and trash icons are added by default.
 For application icons, go to start-applications, right click on application and then select add to desktop.
 It is just like in Windows os.
 Choose add to panel if you want to add shortcut to panel.
 Open dolphin, navigate to folder and then right click to choose add to desktop.

 Hello lordievader
[08:21] <lordievader> Morning swift110
 (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/DeJdRtW0/file_37996.jpg
 what the last option is for?
 enter UEFI setup on next boot
[09:16] <lordievader> If enabled your pc will go to the UEFI setup on next boot.
[10:45] <IrcsomeBot1> <Sarah Cayago Java> it can?
 @sammy_v, I installed kubuntu 20.04 last in in virtual box and i had no icons on my desktop. I know how to add others from the start menu though.
[11:36] <tuxakadjseb> Could you resize your WM screen resolution ?
 @sammy_v, They have not in recent releases of plasma. Bionic was the last version where they were IIRC.
 @tuxakadjseb, It's already on a 1080 res so i don't think the icons are off screen.
[12:20] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 @BluesKaj, hello & welcome
[12:39] <BluesKaj> @murdock86, hi
 Hi folks, whoever gave the advice of decreasing swappiness yesterday, thanks for that again! 20.04 is working very smoothly even with 4 GB RAM, and with much better RAM utilization.
 Thats awesome
 Hi! … How can I upgrade from 20.10 beta to stable version?
 @Empire201_Off, Wait for 25/10
 The beta update is already underway
 @Empire201_Off, Better format your HDD and  install LTS 20.04
 @Empire201_Off, I had only a bad luck with it
 But for sure it can be upgraded to stable somehow .... Hungarian Linux group wrote that a sudo apt dist-upgrade Maybe
 And an admin wrote it
 @GalantGTR
 @Empire201_Off, What u want exactly? Upgrade to stable, than u should wait for a final release of KUbuntu...
 The should fix all known problems with drivers and packs
 Problem solved! Thanks
 But they still on a way to do that
 Firefox 82 will be out one day earlier
 Thanks for the help @GalantGTR
[13:53] <BluesKaj> @Empire201_Off, the GG 20.10 officail release date is in 3 days, Oct 22, and I've been running it with very few issues so far. It should be quite stable by the release date.
 @Empire201_Off, U r welcome
 I understand! Max downgrade to stable ....
 @BluesKaj, I'm still on 20.04 it's stable and running good
 @Empire201_Off, Don't do that if u don't have any experience
 Videos for sure are on youtube
 But will a beta version be updated? After the release?
 If you get it it makes no sense to move to a stable
[13:56] <BluesKaj> the beta version is always the official version by the release date
[13:57] <BluesKaj> as long as you keep udating/upgrading from the repos with apt
 Then the beta will also get an update after release! no?
[13:58] <oerheks> all beta releases end up in the full version.
 Lts is better because it will be updated 2 years long
 I understand! Then a sudo apt dist-upgrade will be run to keep the repo fresh
 Lts to LTS...everybody knows what he/she want
 I understand.

[15:50] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> Hey
[15:51] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> I have issue with kde can someone help me?
[15:54] <Maik> !ask | @Горан Исајлоски
[15:59] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> Hey guys, I decided to install  kde and it’s extremely slow. I was using it before but it worked perfectly fine. This is the third time today that I install kde and look how slow it is? Do I have a problem with the hardware or it’s kde or some packages?
[16:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> (Video, 27s)https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Wvq7pOmI/file_38004.MOV
[16:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> This is a video, I just installed kde
 @Горан Исајлоски, What do you mean you installed kde? Kubuntu already comes with it, do you mean you tried to update yo the latest version?
[16:19] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> I downloaded it and install it like any other os
 @Горан Исајлоски, purge it : )
[16:28] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> @Abhishek23180, Purge on what?
[16:58] <IrcsomeBot1> :) was added by: :)
 @Горан Исајлоски, Ensure to install the proprietary NVidia drivers (assuming you did not install those during install).
[17:03] <IrcsomeBot1> <Горан Исајлоски> @DarinMiller, I will try
[17:06] <swift110> good afternoon
[17:06] <swift110> how are you lordievader
[17:08] <wilson_> How do you do fellow kids?
[17:08] <swift110> im good wilson_ what are you up to
[17:08] <wilson_> english homework wbu?
[17:09] <swift110> wilson_, taking pics of my thinkpads
[17:09] <wilson_> very nice, what have you got?
[17:11] <swift110> t420, x201 (2), t61p, x60 (3), z61m (4), t40
[17:12] <wilson_> wow, I have an x230 and a T43
[17:12] <wilson_> cool collection
[17:13] <swift110> thanks
[17:13] <wilson_> I guess I'll see you on r/thinkpad then
[17:13] <swift110> the t40 has been dead for years but i just can't bring myself to throw it away. It needs a new display, and has a dead graphics card but I am considering restoring it to it's former glory
[17:14] <swift110> wilson_, I am on there all the time bro
[17:14] <wilson_> Definitely worth it, throwing away a thinkpad is criminal to say the least
[17:19] <swift110> yeah I agree
[17:19] <swift110> even if it is a pentium m from like early to mid 2000's
[17:19] <swift110> I wish the screen wasn't busted though
[17:20] <swift110> and any motherboard I get to replace it will likely be dead soon as well
[17:20] <wilson_> that really sucks my x230 has one of those blobs of dead pixels atm
[17:20] <swift110> oh well you can always get a new screen for like $40
[17:20] <swift110> I mean fifty bucks
[17:21] <wilson_> Unfortunately more like £60 in the UK but I'll still get one
[17:21] <swift110> Yeah I got a replacement screen for my t420 but then when I opened up the machine I saw that all I needed to do was reseat the display and then it was working just fine
[17:22] <wilson_> Oh I'll try that then
[17:23] <swift110> well you have an problem with the display...i don't
[17:24] <swift110> nothing was wrong with my display it just came loose thats all so for months I just used it with an external display and that worked fine lol
[17:25] <wilson_> Oh I see then, that's lucky
 @swift110, Awesome
[17:26] <swift110> yeah it was pretty coool
[17:26] <swift110> I really like this machine I am just trying to get the most out of it
[17:27] <wilson_> You may not like it but a 2.6kg laptop is where it's at
[17:27] <wilson_> The absolute peak of technology
[17:27] <swift110> wilson_, I actually like a sturdy well documented laptop
[17:28] <wilson_> @Swift110 completely but it helps when you can carry it
[17:28] <swift110> I used to carry around a t420 AND an x201 with me in addition to an iPad 3 and the cables
 @wilson_, Physical fitness also catered for? : )
[17:28] <swift110> People need to stop being so weak in my opinion
[17:28] <swift110> if you can pick up a baby you can carry a laptop
[17:28] <wilson_> Damn, you must be a real chad
[17:28] <swift110> I'm not a chad
[17:29] <swift110> But a few pounds shouldn't be an issue unless you are like really old or something
[17:30] <swift110> a fifty pound cheese grater macpro circa 2012. Now thats heavy
[17:30] <wilson_> i  find it's only a pain when I have school books
[17:30] <wilson_> which is always
[17:30] <swift110> wilson_, bro its 2020 physical school books are stupid.
[17:31] <swift110> I used to lug those things around in the 1990's
[17:31] <wilson_> swift110 don't I know it
[17:31] <swift110> everyone's got phones and tablets so there is no excuse for that innefficient heavy waste of paper that will only be good for a year anyway
[17:31] <swift110> scan the pages you need and carry that and that only
[17:32] <swift110> or if you really wanna be smart scan the entire book and make your own pdf or epub
[17:32] <wilson_> It's bollocks but try convincing a school to let you do work on a laptop
 @Горан Исајлоски, If plasma is too slow , try dropping to a tty termal (ctrl+atl+f2). Login, then run lspci | grep NVIDIA  and report the output here.  Then we can give the command for installing the correct NVidia driver.
[17:32] <wilson_> For some reason it's a federal offence in their eyes
[17:33] <swift110> wilson_, that's why I don't go to school
[17:33] <swift110> we have youtube and you can learn what you need from there or other online stuff like coursera or something like that
[17:33] <swift110> im not gonna pay people to mess up my back
[17:34] <wilson_> I completely understand but I'm not really old enough to have a choice
[17:34] <swift110> wilson_, oh well that's something different
[17:34] <wilson_> It iis what it is
[17:34] <swift110> how many books do you have to carry?
[17:35] <wilson_> on average: two textbooks, a folder and four or so excercise books
[17:35] <wilson_> not fun
[17:35] <swift110> goodness
[17:35] <swift110> bro. scan a few pages of the books print them out and cut the weight dramatically
[17:36] <swift110> either that or start an excercise routine to strengthen your back now so it won't jack you up pater
[17:36] <wilson_> solid idea, I fo sho need a system
[17:37] <swift110> fa sho
[17:37] <wilson_> that's how americans speak ,right?
[17:37] <swift110> lol
[17:37] <wilson_> "y'all"
[17:37]  * swift110 loves how black urban culture has managed to travel around the world
[17:38]  * swift110 thinks it makes the world more interesting when people have unique dialects 
[17:38] <wilson_> well, that's what's cool, init bruv
[17:39] <Alpha7024> Not sure where this should go but trying to set up remote desktop. I've made it all the way to getting logged in but all I get is a blue background: https://www.prodjex.com/RDP.jpg
[17:40] <swift110> lol
[17:40] <swift110> unique is indeed cool
[17:40] <wilson_> is that not article one of the thinkpad manifesto?
