 I am using 20.10 on a few systems here.
[02:20] <FlameReaper-PC> good day
[02:21] <FlameReaper-PC> after upgrading to 20.04 LTS from 18.04 i realized gtk apps performance were pretty poor on my end. is there anything i should look into?
[04:03] <amp> greetings all! I've installed 20.10  as a VM in vmware workstation, as a dry run on the distro.  So far most things are working as expected, but I'm getting a weird graphics issue. The 'panel' at the bottom of the screen is 'blinking'. when I select the K button the window it opens up is basically doing the same thing, it almost looks like it is cycling through graphics modes. Has anyone seen this behaviour?

[04:52] <fahad-M> i did observed screen flickers, and once i observed image distortion, but only in beginning, now it runs smooth.
[06:49] <n3rd> hi
[07:36] <EdgyMC_69> Is it within normal usage to have 7 Activities with several Firefox windows open and Discord, MS Teams, some screen recording software running in the background?
[07:42] <EdgyMC_69> I get freezes pretty often (which require a complete restart) but I don't know how to attempt to fix them. I also got them when only using Facebook on Firefox.
[07:47] <eeos> hi! What is the equivalent of Ubuntu Remote Desktop under Kubuntu?
[08:36] <Maik> eeos: KRDC if i remember correct
[08:38] <Maik> eeos: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdenetwork/krdc/using-krdc.html
[08:43] <StyXman> what's the best way to upgrade to 20.10? I tried aptitude to help solving conflicts by hand, but it's stuck in the broken deps resolver
[08:45] <StyXman> Trying to fix broken packages... it says
[08:49] <Maik> StyXman: from which version you try to upgrade?
[08:49] <StyXman> 20.0
[08:49] <StyXman> 20.04
[08:50] <Maik> sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
[08:50] <StyXman> sorry, it's swapping a lot, so some keys ight not get through
[08:50] <Maik> then
[08:50] <Maik> sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[08:50] <StyXman> and what do I do it it tries to remove packages I want?
[08:51] <Maik> which packages?
[08:51] <Maik> did you add PPA's and installed software from them?
[08:51] <StyXman> if*
[08:52] <StyXman> not ppas, but things like google's chrome or zoom
[08:52] <Maik> it shouldn't remove them afaik
[08:54] <Maik> i never upgrade and stick to LTS releases. one machine has Ubuntu 20.10 but that's a fresh install.
[08:54] <StyXman> or this: https://dpaste.org/P9G3
[08:54] <StyXman> I used to use dselect, but got too old
[08:59] <Maik> try  sudo apt-get -f install && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[08:59] <StyXman> why the upgrade before the do-release-upgrade, anyways?
[09:01] <Maik> to make sure your system is up to date before trying to upgrade, that's why
[09:07] <eeos> Maik: that would be the client rather the server
[09:11] <Maik> eeos: you could always search in the documentation if you can find the answer there
[09:13] <Maik> i just googled for remote desktop on KDE and that's what came up
[09:15] <StyXman> ah, yes, it was
[09:38] <EdgyMC_69> I had to restart and all my Firefox windows I've placed in different Activities reopened in one Activity. Eh.
[09:58] <eeos> Maik: yes, I have done all the googling already, that was the reason for the question being so specific ....
[10:04] <fahad-M> > I get freezes pretty often (which require a complete restart) but I don't know how to attempt to fix them. I also got them when only using Facebook on Firefox.
[10:04] <fahad-M> the problem is in facebook, i used it as well, and if you see in ksysgaurd, you will notice e firefoz tab is eating up all the resources. Fix? I just stopped using facebook or you can try using third party clients for facebook. Good Luck
[10:38] <StyXman> yeah, stop using fb altogether :-)
[10:44] <Maik> fahad-M: i bet it's your system which i think is low spec
[10:44] <fahad-M> maybe? intel 8 gen, 16 gb ram
[10:45] <Maik> ok, that's not low sepc
[10:45] <fahad-M> amd radeon, maybe it's low spec?
[10:45] <fahad-M> graphic card*
[10:45] <Maik> sepc/spec
[10:45] <Maik> nah
[10:45] <fahad-M> but it;s kinda low spec for facebook lol
[10:46] <fahad-M> i probably need a tb of ram for that
[10:46] <Maik> fahad-M: any add ons/extensions on firefox you use?
[10:46] <fahad-M> lot
[10:46] <Maik> like?
[10:46] <fahad-M> 6 or 7 maybe
[10:46] <fahad-M> dark reader
[10:46] <fahad-M> password manager
[10:46] <fahad-M> google translate
[10:46] <fahad-M> vpn
[10:46] <fahad-M> and website locker
[10:47] <Maik> turn them off and see if that improves things
[10:47] <fahad-M> nope, i did
[10:47] <Maik> i have a laptop that is 10 years old with 4GB RAM and have no issues at all
[10:47] <fahad-M> and honestly, chats over facebook aren't even encrypted till you do idk what secret messaging stuff, so not a problem for me
[10:48] <fahad-M> mmm, maybe it was problem with ubuntu 18.04 then? but honestly, i don't care
[10:48] <Maik> even my Pi 4 with 4GB RAM works properly and Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10
[10:49] <Maik> and/with
[10:52] <Maik> fahad-M: did you try another web browser?
[11:00] <fahad-M> same problem on chromium, only that it was worse
[11:00] <fahad-M> and i tried different laptop too
[11:05] <Maik> fahad-M: weird that only you have issues
[11:07] <fahad-M> yup
[12:13] <StyXman> ok, I did the upgrade again w/ aptitude and this time I was more careful about breaking ops, and it worked fine
[12:34] <fahad-M> hey guys, i know it is off-topic but is there a way to see if someone is online or not?
[12:37] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:54] <Maik> fahad-M: then take it to #kubuntu-offtopic if it's... well.... offtopic. ;)
[13:33] <Guest43787> Anyone knows how to scale konsole wallpaper?
[14:30] <user|97194> Hello
 HI Guys, … Can anyone help me in updating to latest plasma 20 on kubuntu ?
[15:17] <Maik> @Utkarsh not possible.... yet
[15:17] <Maik> afaik
[16:04] <zack62> hello, I need support with KAMIL in kubuntu 20.04 LTS
[16:05] <zack62> kmail I mean
[16:06] <zack62> Recently (I didn't used kamil for few days), I lost my local mail box.
[16:08] <zack62> That is, in my account, I still have a local folder, but completly empty
[16:09] <zack62> ~/.local/share/local-mail is full of mails, but Kmail don't load them anymore... Can someone help me ?
[16:13] <zack62> hello, first time I use this irc channel, is it working ? can someone see my question ?
[16:13] <rudie> yes
[16:14] <zack62> hello rudie, I posted a question about lost mail in kmail, you can see it ?
[16:16] <zack62> I started kmail today, and all my local dir is empty. Don't know what caused that, and how to reload my locol folder ?
[16:22] <zack31> Is there anyone to help me with kmail ?
[16:24] <zack31> I have lost all the content of my local folder / local mailbox (inbox, sendmails, etc). There are still there in my ~/.local/share/local-mail,but hte kmail GUI can't see them anymore ?
[16:25] <zack31> was working few days ago, don't undertand what appened...
[16:25] <zack31> anyone encountered this issue ?
[16:26] <zack31> I absolutely need to recover my emails... please.
 How is Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (Ryzen 7 4800U)?? … Will it ever come to India...I m not getting the AMD one...
[16:31] <zack31> is this irc channel a fake one ?
[16:31] <zack31> new to kubuntu, there is no active suport here ?
[16:35] <Maik> !patience | zack31
[16:45] <Maik> zack31: i don't appreciate unwanted PM's. Everything can be asked and talked about here in the channel. :)
[16:47] <Maik> zack31: how long it takes before you get an answer depends on if anyone is around or comes around who has the knowledge. If you don't have the time try asking on the forums, Askubuntu or come back again later.
[16:48] <Maik> you could also do some research on the web in the meantime. :)
[16:49] <zack31> ok, Maik, I don't want to spam the channel neither. This is the first time I try this irc channel, I don't know yet the abit of this community. In mageia, was more interactive talks...
[16:50] <zack31> So someone will answer me and I wait... So I wait...
[16:54] <Maik> zack31: you could also try to ask in #kde
[16:55] <zack31> ok good idea, I will, thx
[17:50] <zack31> Ok so I still wait for community support...
[18:00] <zack31> so i suspect an akonadi issue, possible ?
[18:01] <woozle> I've *always* had trouble with Akonadi, and never been able to find any diagnostic guides.
[18:01] <zack31> someone using kmail on 20.04 in this community ? No pb recently ?
[18:02] <zack31> woozle, you use kmal right now ?
[18:03] <zack31> I hav inedexing error message when I restart akonadi
[18:03] <zack31> and when I try to configure my account, I see a local dir pb
[18:03] <zack31> Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/3b88db53b01bbf11a7ba8ad6a23b28f0/kmail.png
[18:04] <zack31> you see, in my "identity" configuration, the advanced tab.
[18:06] <zack31> I have an alert message of misconfiguration of my personal folder "not existing or no more existing" (the mapping with draft and model folder is "failing" (so appear in pink).
[18:06] <zack31> I don't know what to do...
[18:09] <Maik> did you ask in #kde too already?
[18:12] <art_> hello
[18:13] <art_> who suffers from covid?
[18:16] <zack31> Maik yes, not supportive community
[18:17] <zack31> one advice me to make an archive
[18:18] <Maik> then try to search for your issue or use the other options i mentioned before. I never use any mail client so i can't help, all web based here.
[18:18] <zack31> and another guy said akonadi doesn't work well and is not documented.
[18:18] <zack31> not very useful
[18:18] <Maik> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[18:19] <woozle> (I don't use kmail. I use mostly Roundcube, and sometimes Thunderbird.)
[18:20] <woozle> (You might try Thunderbird, which can automatically configure some things, and see if you can get the connection working -- then use that to figure out what's wrong with kmail.)
[18:22] <zack31> woozle, thunderbird is a local client ?
[18:22] <zack31> is it possible that thunderbird import kmail folders ?
[18:23] <zack31> may kubuntu decided to switch from kontact to thunderbird with some migration tool or procedures ?
[18:24] <zack31> there are devlelopers or packager in this irc ?
[18:24] <woozle> How do you mean local?
[18:24] <Maik> did you leave the pulled in emails on the server of your provider? If so then just set up Thunderbird and you'll get all your emails in the inbox again. If not then you're out of luck i guess.
[18:25] <woozle> ^ that -- if you're using IMAP
[18:26] <zack31> A local client that save mail locally (not a web client using IMAP to store everything on server).
[18:26] <Maik> also works with pop
[18:26] <woozle> Thunderbird and KMail can store locally and access remotely.
[18:27] <woozle> Thunderbird can import local folder data from other email clients, though I don't know if KMail is one of them.
[18:27] <woozle> Thunderbird and KMail are both desktop clients, not webmail.
[18:27] <zack31> ok, so true mail client, yu know if thunderbird import kmail database (local folder) ?
[18:28] <woozle> I don't know for sure if it can import from KMail specifically, though it does have an import feature.
[18:30] <zack31> ok, thank you, will to reapir  kmail couple of days, and will try to switch to thunderbird, if this is the supported mail client of kubuntu team (to have support).
[18:31] <Maik> https://ma.juii.net/blog/kmail-to-thunderbird
[18:32] <zack31> thx you Maik
[18:32] <Maik> zack31: thunderbird isn't the default, supported mailclient by kubuntu and it's from Mozilla if you seek support for it
[18:33] <zack31> yes it is, it is in release note
[18:33] <Maik> link
[18:33] <zack31> https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-20-04-lts-has-been-released/
[18:33] <zack31> "For this release we provide Thunderbird for email support, however the KDE PIM suite (including kontact and kmail) is still available to install from the archive."
[18:34] <Maik> ok but official support for thunderbird only is still over at mozilla
[18:35] <zack31> Discovered that _after_ my 20.04 uodate (quite disapointed).
[18:35] <Maik> what's to be disappointed about...?
[18:36] <zack31> To be left alone with my mail
[18:36] <zack31> and few days after, I lost of my mails, and pop 3 connection
[18:36] <Maik> i told you there are other places to ask for help
[18:36] <Maik> again
[18:36] <zack31> But what kind of support kubuntu is providing ?
[18:37] <Maik> it's open source, we are all volunteers who aren't getting paid to do this
[18:37] <zack31> You have people in charge of your package, no ?
[18:38] <Maik> they build the packages they aren't developing them
[18:38] <zack31> I know, I use linux for 15 years. Kubuntu is my new distro.
[18:38] <Maik> for 15 years? Then you should know your way around by now
[18:38] <Maik> no matter what distro you use$
[18:39] <zack31> Yes, i never encountered kmail issue before I switched to kubuntu, so...
[18:40] <zack31> and oftne we have distro issues, or community of users encounter the same issue a te same time, so we discuss together
[18:40] <Maik> i wish i could help you. Been searching for you but couldn't find any proper solution yet.
[18:41] <zack31> and then we figure out if this is a distro pb or an upstream pb
[18:41] <zack31> ok thank you, I will try on my own
[18:41] <zack31> And will go back here if I find something useful for others.
[18:42] <Maik> ok, good luck :)
 Is there is any way to optimise battery usage in kubuntu 20.04
[19:56] <ckgambit> Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help with an extremely slow Kubuntu 20.10 thats only 6 hours old. If I run a speed test I get 750Mbps download and 550Mbps upload, I have 24 GB of internal ram and 10 GB swap and 4 core processor running 8 cores total
[19:57] <ckgambit> Im downloading something and only getting maybe 500 - 600 Kbps download speed
[20:06] <lun8288> I have Ubuntu 20.04, I would like to get Kubuntu, which is the easiest way to do it?
[20:11] <Maik> lun8288: reinstall, mixing DE's isn't always flawless
[20:13] <Maik> lun8288: but if you want to try it: sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop
[20:14] <Maik> it's up to you
[20:15] <lun8288> I'll reinstall thank you
 I had ubuntu mate and installed kubuntu-desktop all right on 2 different machines. Maybe just luck. Always backup.
 Plasma is great.
[20:17] <lun8288> do you mean that Plasma is better than Kubuntu?
[20:25] <Maik> lun8288: Plasma is the Desktop, not a distro
[20:25] <Maik> Kubuntu uses the Plasma desktop (KDE)
[22:13] <Mrokii> Hello. I have a hi-fi system connected to my motherboards' audio-output, and upto now, all computer-sounds were played through that. But as of today, after updating to Kubuntu 20.10, all sounds are played via the speakers built into my monitor. The only device available in the audio-settings is hdmi (over which my monitor is connected). Is this a bug? Shouldn't there be an entry for the regular
[22:13] <Mrokii> audio-output via the motherboard?
[22:20] <cyskus> Hello.  Today I updated from Kubuntu 20.04 to Kubuntu 20.10.  Nearly everything is working well except for my audio interface (a Tascam US-2x2 connected over USB3).  In the audio configuration dialog I cannot put the device into duplex mode, despite the device having available input and output channels in ALSA.  I have tried reinstalling PulseAudio however this did not resolve the issue.  I have also tried checking the PulseAudio configuration in
[22:20] <cyskus> /etc/pulse to see if I can set the device mode or stream mappings manually but did not find any device information.  Are there any further steps that I can take to get duplex mode to work on my audio interface?  Thanks in advance.
[22:22] <Mrokii> cyskus: Maybe this is related to my problem, of sounds not being played over my hi-fi system anymore, and it's not displayed in the audio-devices list. I just found a solution by killing pulseaudio (via "pulseaudio -k"). After that, the regular motherboard-output was visible again and the hi-fi-system played the sounds again. Maybe you could try that.
[22:24] <Mrokii> cyskus: Here are several solutions for another problem, but nevertheless these might point you in the right direction for yours as well: https://itsfoss.com/how-to-fix-no-sound-through-hdmi-in-external-monitor-in-ubuntu/
[22:25] <cyskus> Thanks for the suggestion.  I restarted PulseAudio using the specified command but duplex mode is still unavailable.  I have also tried restarting the computer and unplugging/plugging-in the audio interface with the same effect.  One time when I unplugged/re-plugged the audio interface it changed from input-only to output-only, but duplex was still unavailable.
[22:27] <cyskus> I'll try pavucontrol, although I'm not sure if that's specified to the setup of Ubuntu with Gnome rather than Ubuntu with KDE Plasma.
[22:28] <cyskus> Interesting, pavucontrol worked.  Thanks!  It's odd that the duplex option shows up there but not in the Plasma Settings.
[22:34] <Mrokii> cyskus: Looks like a bug to me. But very cool that it worked for you as well. :-)
