[03:31] <G34> Hi, installing kubuntu and have a q. How should i partition it?
[03:31] <G34> I thought 256 mg efi, 20gig root, rest home
[04:30] <user|0> hi there
[04:30] <user|0> any reason you prefer kubuntu over vanilla ubuntu?
[06:14] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:13] <alkisg> Is it my idea, or `discover` doesn't list any software from PPAs?
 wrong, it does
 once you have installed it discover will update it
[10:44] <alkisg> Mamarok: 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 up
[10:44] <alkisg> If you do install them using apt install first, then after that, discover can update them
[10:45] <alkisg> ..right? :)
[10:46] <alkisg> (at least that what my tests show far show...)
[10:49] <Mamarok> yes, that's how it works
[11:09] <alkisg> Hmm, any ways around the issue? I wonder if packages from opensuse build studio do show up...
[11:10] <alkisg> The end goal is for me to upload packages somewhere, so that novice users will be able to install them without using the command line
[11:24] <alkisg> Yeah obs packages do show up even on "search", before manual installation
[11:56] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 How does kubuntu work in matter of battery backup of laptop
 Better than windows or any other linux
[12:10] <Mamarok> was that a question?
[12:11] <omegatron> yes - it's just missing the question mark ...  -_-
 How does kubuntu perform when it comes about battery life ? (re @ADHIVP: How does kubuntu work in matter of battery backup of laptop)
 ???
[12:14] <omegatron> since we don't know what you are going to do with your laptop: just about as any modern os with some gui would ...
[12:15] <omegatron> or do you expect there is some battery drain somewhere, just because your machine runs kubuntu?
 Mainly browsing with brave, videos with vlc and small amount of coding in visual code
[12:16] <Mamarok> try plugin it in when performing a backup if you fear it running out?
 No
[12:16] <Mamarok> plugin 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 hours
 I want to know when I have same processor , battery and same work to do . Which operating system is good
 That comparison I need
[12:17] <Mamarok> my laptop has an 8-hour battery, I never had to worry about that and it runs Kubuntu since I have it
 . (re @IrcsomeBot: <omegatron> or do you expect there is some battery drain somewhere, just because your machine runs kubuntu?)
 🆗 (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)
 . (re @ADHIVP: I want to know when I have same processor , battery and same work to do . Which operating system is good)
[12:18] <Mamarok> and 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$
[12:19] <Mamarok> mind 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 power
[12:19] <Mamarok> unless you need to watch the backup running visually...
[12:19] <Mamarok> rsnyc is a good choice if you fear for your battery
 rsnyc ok
 Tlp helps with battery too
 Not sure if they're in-built to kubuntu yet
[13:16] <Mamarok> you mean the command-line command tip for connecting to a server through a modem? That's more a BSD tool, not a Linux one
 TLP
 It's a power management think for laptops
 It's a power management thing for laptops
[13:20] <Mamarok> oh I read tip and was wondering why one would suggest that...
 lel
[13:21] <Mamarok> of course it is part of Linux, no need to build it specifically for Kubuntu
 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?
[15:15] <Mamarok> no idea, maybe if it is the same version and the feature already exists in this version, else you will have to ask the VLC people
[15:15]  * Mamarok hasn't used vlc recently
 🆗
 Any one knows
[15:49] <Mekaneck> guess not
[15:50] <Mamarok> as I said, you can always ask the vlc people, I bet they have a channel as well
 Thnx
[15:51] <Mekaneck> new 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.
[17:30] <Guest58> Hi, 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.
[17:31] <Guest58> Deadkeys/accents work fine in other apps, including Thunderbird.
[17:45] <diogenes_> Guest58, wayland?
[17:45] <Guest58> no, default install, kwin_x11
[17:45] <Guest58> i did import my previous firefox profile dir though
[17:45] <Mekaneck> 20.04 doesn't even have wayland
