[05:39] <drgutman> hey ppl, I have a problem with Chrome, it won't login on any sites (fb,gmail,yt), they jsut stop loading at some point. I just installed Chrome after using Chromium for a couple of weeks, Chromium works just fine. Any advice please?
[05:44] <drgutman> well ... ain't I a dumbass ... I disabled all installed extensions and now it works. I'm gonna turn them back on one by one.
[06:11] <ricefield> If I right click and choose "Compress" -> "HERE (As ZIP)" does it use the same settings I see when I choose "Compress" -> "Compress Too..."?
[08:15] <Swift110-mobile> Hey
[08:42] <TomTom> Good morning. Any idea when the "switch user" option comes back to our kmenu? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423526  Other distributions are also affected and provide only downgrades as workarounds...
[08:46] <TomTom> Am talking of 20.10. Locally i have plasma-workspace 19.5 installed, the ticket says it has been fixed for 5.20.3. So will this be available for the standard 20.10 distribution?
[08:50] <RikMills> Looks like that will have to wait for 21.04 I'm afraid
[12:50] <BluesKaj> howdy all
[12:57] <Maik> o/
[13:25] <BluesKaj> o/
[14:36] <user|58449> Hi. I have issues to use bluetooth on my computer.
 @RikMills, are all these problems related to Kubuntu 21.04 ?
 @TomTom, yes, I also don't have switch user option in applications menu, whereas I have switch user option in KDE Neon
[14:43] <user|17972> hello!
[15:07] <TomTom> quite a major flaw for systems in families where more than one user is using the system... in four months this feature of 1990 will return ;)
 @ri5h46h, Not sure about Neon stable, but in Neon Testing, Switch User crashes to the terminal or locks up entirely.  So it seems the switch user option needs a little attention (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428479)
[19:46] <drgutman> so, I'm having a problem with the soundcard and I can't think of anything else to try, could someone please help me write a script to run after each boot to switch the audio controller to another source and back (because that seems the only way to make it work)??
[19:50] <diogenes_> drgutman, how you doing it manually?
[19:52] <drgutman> I'm opening the audio settings gui > advanced > switch the Built In Audio Profile to something else, and switch it back to the "Analog Surround 2.1 Output + Analog Stero Input" \
[19:53] <drgutman> I'm a 20 year plus win user that switched to kubuntu a couple of weeks ago. a friend tried to help me fix it but nothing worked.
[20:00] <lethu> drgutman, you might want to try "pavucontrol"
[20:00] <lethu> drgutman, it's the name of the Pulse Audio Volume Control
[20:01] <diogenes_> GrahamPerrin-M, try in terminal:
[20:01] <lethu> drgutman, fixed some of my issues in the past with audio, where regular system settings didn't work
[20:01] <diogenes_> pactl set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
[20:01] <diogenes_> then
[20:02] <diogenes_> pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-surround+input:analog-stereo
[20:02] <diogenes_> or whatever the exact profile name that works for you is.
[20:02] <diogenes_> to find it exact name, run: pacmd list-cards
[20:03] <diogenes_> also you get the card index from there too
[20:03] <diogenes_> and if it works in terminal then we could do a startup script from it.
[20:03] <drgutman> @lethu - i've installed it already, it doesn't help, wether I do it from there or from the default volume control, same result
[20:04] <drgutman> when I boot the proper output is selected, i have to select something else and reselect the first one
[20:04] <diogenes_> that's what i suggested.
[20:04] <diogenes_> or you can simply do: pulseaudio -k
[20:04] <lethu> drgutman, too bad that's all I can think of that could have helped with your issue
[20:05] <diogenes_> after reboot
[20:05] <diogenes_> pulseaudio -k might work right away because it reloads the puleaudio server.
[20:07] <drgutman> @diogenes_ umm, I'm not sure, you told me to do that or to GrahamPerrin-M?
[20:09] <diogenes_> drgutman, sorry it was addressed to you :)
[20:13] <drgutman> :) ohh, thanks, so with pactl i can find the different profiles and then change the card profile from terminal (and thus from a script) I'll have to look up how to write the startup script (i'm sure i'll find a tutorial in no time on google) ... and I just saw that you actually gave me the exact commands that change between the two. thank you :)
[20:14] <drgutman> I'll give it a try on next reboot :)
[20:14] <diogenes_> ok come with a feedback.
[20:40] <shepherd_> hey got a problem with a thermal printer i have installed with cups. everytime I print, dmesg reports it as disconnected, then about 6 seconds later it comes back. Anyone seen or dealt with this before? thanks
[22:24] <Solifugus> can someone recommend a wifi adaptor for an x86 desktop computer?  The first one I bought turned out to have Windows and Mac support only; and second one I bought says it support "Linux" but turned out to be only Fedora.
[22:24] <Solifugus> very aggrivating
[22:25] <Solifugus> cannot get past make on it..
[22:25] <Solifugus> for some strange reason, tne make file wanted lex and bison... but even after that, errors..
[22:26] <Solifugus> make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/x86/tools/relocs_32.c', needed by 'arch/x86/tools/relocs_32.o'.  Stop.
[22:27] <oerheks> did you install build-essential as a start?
[22:27] <oerheks> !info build-essentials
[22:27] <oerheks> !info build-essential
[22:27] <oerheks> unlikely a driver is for fedora only..
[22:29] <Solifugus> Yes... I have build-essentials
[22:29] <Solifugus> instructions are only for Fedora.....
[22:30] <Solifugus> I am sure a binary module would work.. wish they just provided that
[22:31] <Solifugus> I download the driver from here: http://www.pandawireless.com/Drivers%20%7C%20Panda%20Wireless.html
[22:34] <oerheks> rt2870 driver?
[22:37] <Solifugus> maybe... let me see if I can find a reference to that.
[22:37] <Solifugus> I noted a difference in lsmod with it plugged into usb port and without...
[22:37] <Solifugus> < sch_fq_codel           20480  7
[22:37] <Solifugus> ---
[22:37] <Solifugus> > sch_fq_codel           20480  3
[22:39] <Solifugus> The Makefile does have this line in it: cp -f /tftpboot/rt2870ap.o /backup/ifx/build/root_filesystem/lib/modules/2.4.31-Amazon_SE-3.6.2.2-R0416_Ralink/kernel/drivers/net
[22:39] <Solifugus> So that must be right... maybe need to search for a drive rthat supports that.
[22:39] <Solifugus> but.. wondering what the difference in the lsmod results w/ and w/o the wifi adapter plugged in means
[22:40] <oerheks> no, try the backportwed iwlwifi ppa https://launchpad.net/~canonical-hwe-team/+archive/ubuntu/backport-iwlwifi
[22:41] <oerheks> that dkms builds the driver against your kernel/and new kernel update
[22:41] <Solifugus> ok... I have to go for a bit but will come back to this.... thanks... i now have some thigns to go on
[22:53] <user|99379> Total noob, how do I install rufus on kubuntu 20.1
[22:54] <user|99379> Command-line options?
