BluesKajdo a clean install after backing up your data12:59
IrcsomeBot<petersaints> I'd backup your data anyway. But you could then try to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 and then from 20.04 to 20.10. You can't directly upgrade from 19.10 to 20.10.13:35

zack31hello, I have a problme with "lost mails" local foler with kmails, I strongly suspect akonadi db issues or kmail/akonadi connection pb...15:14
zack31I need to discuss with someone to help me to  recover my mails, or to redirect with someone that could...15:16
zack31perhaps I am not he only one with kmail issue since 19.10 -> 20.04 migration (many issues with pop, but I least I could see my local mailbox)  or maybe a recent KDE / PIM update that could have broke akonadi....15:18
BluesKajzack31, if nobody answers your question I suggest asking in #kde chat...i haven't used kmail since 2008 so i'm way behind the curve on that one.15:19
zack31will connet to #kde at he same time...15:20
zack31but still help from k'ubintu welcomed :-)15:20
zack31I stay here also...15:21
freiformHi, I remember that KDE had fractional scaling per display; now I can only find global scaling. Has this been removed?15:24
zack31someone is searching for my kmail/akonadi issue ?15:37
freiformah, using plasma wayland enables scaling per display.15:37
zack31I had plenty of updates before I lost my mails15:39
zack31I got a massive one with new kernel and dkms, lots of kde stuff I think, may there is a link ?15:41
zack31I discovered the mail "disapearance" yesterday, and today I have seen mariaDB update again...15:42
zack31mariaDB is the akonadi database in kubuntu, no ? Where all my mail should be stored, correct ?15:43
zack31Anychance that this update has corrupted the database (schema chnage or something) ?15:44
zack31ok, how can I talk to kubuntu kontact/PIM/akonadi maintainer ?15:46
Maikzack31: probably through a bug report on Launchpad or #kubuntu-devel16:28
zack31salut Maik16:30
Maik@SharGen19 Kubuntu isn't Linux Mint so Xed isn't included16:30
zack31I have done some tehcnical invest16:30
zack31but I still want to understand better the root cause16:31
Maik@SharGen19 it's best learn to look for Kubuntu related solutions instead on the official Kubuntu channels and forums16:31
Maikzack31: i don't use Kubuntu/KDE Plasma or Kmail so my knowledge ends there16:32
Maikopen a topic here: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum.php16:33
zack31I know, but they are 330 people here and 2100 in #kde16:33
Maikor try https://askubuntu.com/16:33
zack31ask ubuntu I had bad experience recently16:34
Maikzack31: though it seems a lot of people are in the channels it doesn't mean they are online 24/716:34
zack31they are "green"16:35
Maikit doesn't mean they are at their computer16:35
Maiki'm also logged in 24/7 via quassel core others use Matrix or a bouncer16:36
Maiknot so hard to understand imo16:36
zack31ok...16:36
zack31i understand for kubuntu16:36
zack31but kde, man 2100 !16:36
zack31kontact and PIm is their baby...16:37
zack31are sorry16:37
Maikthe KDE channel is a support channel just like this one, not a dev channel. Support isn't what it used to be everywhere on IRC. We just have to be patient until someone comes along with the knowledge.16:39
Maikenough said for now on that subject :)16:39
zack31I am proably too old16:40
Maikwhat is old....16:42
zack314816:42
Maikage is just a number and with 47 i'm still learning every day16:42
zack31you dign't get it16:43
zack31I do not understand what irc support channel are nowadays16:43
Maiki did get it all16:44
zack31looks like community spirit, or technical knowledhe has disapeared16:44
Maikyep16:44
zack31ok anyway forthose interested, akonadi db is using mySQL (and I suspect Kubuntu use MariaDB)16:45
Maikit has always been up to the users/community to provide support16:45
zack31akonadi stores all "metadata" and other secondary data of PIM (and kontact)16:45
IrcsomeBotVitoDoc was added by: VitoDoc16:45
Maikzack31: all you could do is read the docs about KDE apps and how they work16:47
zack31the local data of kmail, for those that not trust IMAP and non free mail server provider, is stored in ~/.local/sahre/local-mails16:47
zack31there is a to repair akonadi db (akonadi fsck), I tried, didn't work16:49
zack31I know that I can "prune" all akonadi files to rebuild a clean stuff with my local mail16:50
zack31I think I will try soon16:50
zack31So I don't know if kmail can't connect akonadi, or if it can but my ID or something is preventing to fecth my data (so a kind of ID dicrepancy between kamil and akonadi)16:54
zack31or if my local-mail data is corrupted16:57
zack31Ok, i also don't know if I am the only one that encountered this bug, as nobody replies. So I can't tell if this is an akonadi or kmail package maintenance pb. So my bug report will be quite incomplete.17:00
Maiksearch Launchpad for bugs or open a bug there as suggested before17:01
zack31yes I will be do, I will help myself17:02
zack31"it has always been up to the users/community to provide support"17:02
zack31you got it, and looks like it is broken because I can't have any techncial discussion or irc support chat in 2 days....17:03
Maikwe can keep on repeating it but it's pointless, take it as it is :)17:08
Maikyou don't want to use ask ubuntu or the forums or any other support medium... so17:08
zack31are you a human ?17:09
zack31when you are in a community don't you want ot discuss with your friends ?17:10
IrcsomeBot<darltrash> beep boop im a tobot17:10
IrcsomeBot<darltrash> robot*17:10
Maikzack31: i am human. Just being realistic about things as they are.17:11
Maikand this discussion isn't support related17:11
Maikyou can contiue in #kubuntu-offtopic about that matter if you like17:12
zack31I am fecthing the web and losing and learning how this stuff is working, i am loosing my time. it is ore efficient to discuss to find quickly the pb.17:12
zack31ok i see17:13
zack31have a good day17:14
Maiko/17:14
zack31what is "support" here, give me an example ?17:22
zack31just to underdand your rules...17:22
geniizack31: When a user is having some difficulty using their Kubuntu, they can come to this IRC channel and describe the problem they are having. Other users and helpers in the channel can then try to assist them in resolving the problem.17:30
zack31ok, so exactly my case17:31
Maikzack31: we have been going through this for two days now. Do you really need to go on about it?17:32
geniiFor only social interaction and matters not related to solving a support problem, we have the #kubuntu-offtopic channel for more casual talk.17:32
Maikalready told him that17:33
zack31this is a technical issue17:34
zack31ok, i am fed off17:34
geniiWhat exactly is the technical issue which you require assistance with?17:34
Maikzack31: not your complains about the support, that has nothing to do with a technical issue. Period17:34
geniiHeh, or not, then.17:34
Maikgenii: he mentioned it yesterday and earlier what his issue is he needs help with: <zack31> hello, I have a problme with "lost mails" local foler with kmails, I strongly suspect akonadi db issues or kmail/akonadi connection pb... <zack31> I need to discuss with someone to help me to  recover my mails, or to redirect with someone that could...17:37
Maikzack31: i thought you'd try Thunderbird instead? Even gave you a link on how to import kmail data into thunderbird.17:43

lun8288how do I do it?19:33
Maiki thought you said you'd go the reinstall route19:41
Maiklog out and select Kubuntu from the login screen19:42
lun8288but I decided to give it a try and it worked19:43
Maikok, cool19:43
Deknoshey, i use kwordquiz on kubuntu 18.04 (i know..) and i after entering more then 20 words, i do not see the new words, but they ARE saved in my wordquiz file. perhaps there was a hickup, when my computer crashed. any idea how i can fix my file?20:51
IrcsomeBot<zparihar> Hey guys, in Kubuntu 18.04, there was an option to see a Word Count in Kate.  It no longer seems to be there in 20.04, but I have a hard time believing this would be something that would have been removed.  Does anybody know how to show a word count in Kate?20:53
Deknosi already looked at the file with xmllint, the html file seems fine20:53
