alkisgIs it my idea, or `discover` doesn't list any software from PPAs?09:13
IrcsomeBot_<Mamarok> wrong, it does09:41
IrcsomeBot_<Mamarok> once you have installed it discover will update it09:42

=== Guest2326 is now known as potato_devs
alkisgMamarok: I mean, that for software that is not available in normal repositories and it's only in PPAs, if you search for them in discover, they don't show up10:44
alkisgIf you do install them using apt install first, then after that, discover can update them10:44
alkisg..right? :)10:45
alkisg(at least that what my tests show far show...)10:46
Mamarokyes, that's how it works10:49
alkisgHmm, any ways around the issue? I wonder if packages from opensuse build studio do show up...11:09
alkisgThe end goal is for me to upload packages somewhere, so that novice users will be able to install them without using the command line11:10
alkisgYeah obs packages do show up even on "search", before manual installation11:24

BluesKajHi all11:56
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> How does kubuntu work in matter of battery backup of laptop12:09
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> Better than windows or any other linux12:09
Mamarokwas that a question?12:10
omegatronyes - it's just missing the question mark ...  -_-12:11
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> How does kubuntu perform when it comes about battery life ? (re @ADHIVP: How does kubuntu work in matter of battery backup of laptop)12:11
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> ???12:12
omegatronsince we don't know what you are going to do with your laptop: just about as any modern os with some gui would ...12:14
omegatronor do you expect there is some battery drain somewhere, just because your machine runs kubuntu?12:15
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> Mainly browsing with brave, videos with vlc and small amount of coding in visual code12:15
Mamaroktry plugin it in when performing a backup if you fear it running out?12:16
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> No12:16
Mamarokplugin in a laptop for updating/backing-up etc is always a good idea, especially if you have not a high-performance battery that lasts several hours12:16
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> I want to know when I have same processor , battery and same work to do . Which operating system is good12:16
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> That comparison I need12:17
Mamarokmy laptop has an 8-hour battery, I never had to worry about that and it runs Kubuntu since I have it12:17
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> . (re @IrcsomeBot: <omegatron> or do you expect there is some battery drain somewhere, just because your machine runs kubuntu?)12:17
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> 🆗 (re @IrcsomeBot: <Mamarok> my laptop has an 8-hour battery, I never had to worry about that and it runs Kubuntu since I have it)12:17
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> . (re @ADHIVP: I want to know when I have same processor , battery and same work to do . Which operating system is good)12:17
Mamarokand it makes sense to have the alarm set to +20% if you worry it running out. Not knowing what kind of processor GPU etc you have we can only guess anyway$12:18
Mamarokmind you, it's usually the graphics that use up power e.g. GPUs are very hungry with that, backup is a low-level thing that usually doesn't use as much power12:19
Mamarokunless you need to watch the backup running visually...12:19
Mamarokrsnyc is a good choice if you fear for your battery12:19
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> rsnyc ok12:28
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> Tlp helps with battery too13:07
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> Not sure if they're in-built to kubuntu yet13:07
Mamarokyou mean the command-line command tip for connecting to a server through a modem? That's more a BSD tool, not a Linux one13:16
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> TLP13:19
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> It's a power management think for laptops13:20
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> It's a power management thing for laptops13:20
Mamarokoh I read tip and was wondering why one would suggest that...13:20
IrcsomeBot_<YesEyeCan> lel13:21
Mamarokof course it is part of Linux, no need to build it specifically for Kubuntu13:21

IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> In the latest Android update we got a feature called live captions (which automatically generate subtitles for any video playing on the screen) . Is there any way to enable the same feature in vlc Kubuntu?15:02
Mamarokno idea, maybe if it is the same version and the feature already exists in this version, else you will have to ask the VLC people15:15
* Mamarok hasn't used vlc recently15:15
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> 🆗15:44
IrcsomeBot_<ADHIVP> Any one knows15:44
Mekaneckguess not15:49
Mamarokas I said, you can always ask the vlc people, I bet they have a channel as well15:50
IrcsomeBot_<Jazeker_De_Apotheker> Thnx15:51
Mekanecknew features won't come to Kubuntu 20.04 and 21.04. Maybe the new VLC with the feature will land in 21.10 which will be released in October.15:51
Guest58Hi, i'm using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS and i cannot use dead keys in Firefox, neither for combined characters, nor for the single character ~. This seems to be independent of the keyboard layout selected in KDE settings. I don't know where to look for solutions and cannot seem to find good search terms for google.17:30
Guest58Deadkeys/accents work fine in other apps, including Thunderbird.17:31
diogenes_Guest58, wayland?17:45
Guest58no, default install, kwin_x1117:45
Guest58i did import my previous firefox profile dir though17:45
Mekaneck20.04 doesn't even have wayland17:45
