IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Haven't kubuntu hindi?10:16
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> I can't find.10:16
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Ibus is working but not in libre office. And also in text editors.10:29
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> 😭10:29

IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> When i opened ibus and searched dor font its was working and i was able to type in hindi.13:36
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> But on other places it is not working (re @DPRanjiida: Ibus is working but not in libre office. And also in text editors.)13:37
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Guys I experienced a very strange issue today14:08
Guest87Hi everyone I am using Kubuntu 21.10 develop edition When will these kde apps be updated to 21.08.0?thanks14:09
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> I was transfer songs from my PC (kubuntu) to phone , 173 mp3s in total , it always used to stop in between , no failure but stuck , I really couldn't transfer anything completely14:09
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> I was transferring songs from my PC (kubuntu) to phone , 173 mp3s in total , it always used to stop in between , no failure but stuck , I really couldn't transfer anything completely14:09
BluesKajGuest87, best to ask in #kubuntu-devel or #kde chats14:11
BluesKaj@blinkengine, which method are you using to transfer ?14:13
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> cable (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> @blinkengine, which method are you using to transfer ?)14:14
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> And KDE connect is retard , I couldn't find a way to send the whole folder14:14
BluesKajUSB cable?14:16
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> I think this is dependent upon RAM as well (re @blinkengine: I was transferring songs from my PC (kubuntu) to phone , 173 mp3s in total , it always used to stop in between , no failure but stuck , I really couldn't transfer anything completely)14:24
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Sometimes it stucks or get failed but in other attempt it's fine. (re @Tshering1980: I think this is dependent upon RAM as well)16:13
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> I have dual boot win 11 and kubuntu. After switching from windows to kubuntu i can't create a folder in any of my disk partition expect os.16:14
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Help!16:15
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Ibus not working in office and other apps. (re @DPRanjiida: When i opened ibus and searched dor font its was working and i was able to type in hindi.16:15
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> But on other places it is not working)16:15
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> you should say like that (re @blinkengine: And KDE connect is retard , I couldn't find a way to send the whole folder)16:18
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Are you experiencing the same? (re @DPRanjiida: Sometimes it stucks or get failed but in other attempt it's fine.)16:20
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Yep USB cable ( C-type) (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> USB cable?)16:20
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Sometimes (re @blinkengine: Are you experiencing the same?)16:21
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Micro usb too (re @blinkengine: Yep USB cable ( C-type))16:21
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Why is it happening :(( (re @DPRanjiida: Sometimes)16:21
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Donno about it 😑 (re @blinkengine: Why is it happening :(()16:21
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> I would say its neither a cable issue nor phone , something's wrong with the distro itself16:21
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> In Ubuntu also it was happening.😳 (re @blinkengine: I would say its neither a cable issue nor phone , something's wrong with the distro itself)16:22
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Because previously I was on regular Ubuntu , never faced this issue , used to transfer 10-12gb files16:22
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> I can easily transfer files from my phone with a usb c port to my kubuntu machine16:22
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Strange , I'll into it tomorrow , It kinda wasted my time today (re @ri5h46h: I can easily transfer files from my phone with a usb c port to my kubuntu machine)16:23
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> I'll theft someday.😔 (re @ri5h46h: I can easily transfer files from my phone with a usb c port to my kubuntu machine)16:23
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> I switched to kubuntu because I liked its UI16:23
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> ❓ (re @DPRanjiida: I'll theft someday.😔)16:23
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> desktop environment* (re @blinkengine: I switched to kubuntu because I liked its UI)16:23
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> desktop environment* ( KDE Plasma) k (re @blinkengine: I switched to kubuntu because I liked its UI)16:23
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Not everytime but sometimes it happens.16:23
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> desktop environment* ( KDE Plasma ) (re @blinkengine: I switched to kubuntu because I liked its UI)16:24
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Well yes (re @ri5h46h: desktop environment* ( KDE Plasma ))16:24
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Your devices 😡 (re @ri5h46h: ❓)16:24
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> I hope every linux issue has a workaround 😌16:25
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Maybe it's ram issue as Wangdi said.😕16:25
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Mine is 4gb only.16:25
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Happens with ubuntu and kubuntu both...16:25
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Mine is 4GB as well , dualboot (re @DPRanjiida: Maybe it's ram issue as Wangdi said.😕16:27
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Mine is 4gb only.16:27
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Happens with ubuntu and kubuntu both...)16:27
IrcsomeBot<DPRanjiida> Ohh 😯16:27
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Has the clipboard contents in Kubuntu been deleted ?16:44
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> If not try deleting clipboard contents and redo it but this time, total size of data to be less than RAM size during each transfer16:45
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> How much RAM does Kinfocentre show ?16:53
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Also clear clipboard contents after transfer is completed - after each transfer16:59
IrcsomeBot<blinkengine> Okay I'll try this (re @Tshering1980: Also clear clipboard contents after transfer is completed - after each transfer)17:21
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Let us know whether it is successful or not17:22
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Calculate data size according to free RAM present as shown by Kinfocentre17:23
R13ose21.04 - Whenever I use a web browser and zoom or have too many browser tabs open, the computer slows down massively.  How do I make sure that doesn't happen?17:28
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Processor - dual core, quad core, octacore ? Also RAM size and whether HDD or SSD ? (re @IrcsomeBot: <R13ose> 21.04 - Whenever I use a web browser and zoom or have too many browser tabs open, the computer slows down massively.  How do I make sure that doesn't happen?)17:29
R13oseProcessor: 4 x Intel Core i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz  RAM: 7.6 GiB of RAM  This is SSD.17:35
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> 3rd Generation processor17:36
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Quadcore17:36
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> I think it is because of processor. Need to upgrade to higher generation - Dunno what other experts might think17:38
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Also try not doing video conferencing and web browsing with multiple tabs at the same time - they additively eat up RAM17:39
R13oseWhy do I need to upgrade to higher generation?17:49
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> This also can be done ... (re @Tshering1980: Also try not doing video conferencing and web browsing with multiple tabs at the same time - they additively eat up RAM)17:51
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Also seek advise of other experts17:51
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> It really as far as I think depends upon System Load17:52
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://irc-attachments.kde.org/d18fa917/file_47107.jpg17:53
IrcsomeBot<rameshkatkam1> LJV117:54
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Running multiple tabs and on top of that Video conferencing eats up memory as well as CPU has to work aggressively17:54
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Try seeing how much System Load the Computer takes when u are doing multiple web browsing and Zoom Video Conferencing. I think it would be touching around 90nto 95 percent of CPU processing power and RAM as well as Internet speed17:57
tomreynR13ose: you will probably get better performance at lower system load if you'll use the dedicated zoom application17:57
R13oseI will look when I do both.17:57
R13oseI'm using the standalone zoom application already17:58
tomreynoh ok, guess i misunderstood your question then17:58
tomreynpost your dmesg:   dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 999917:59
R13oseHere is the dmesg: https://termbin.com/yj8518:00
tomreynR13ose: unrelated note: you're missing BIOS security updates18:12
R13osetomreyn: oh no.  How do I update the BIOS security?18:12
tomreynhttps://pcsupport.lenovo.com/uk/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-34xx/3444/3444f9u/downloads/ds030684-bios-update-utility-bootable-cd-for-windows-10-64-bit-81-8-7-32-bit-64-bit-xp-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-34xx18:13
tomreyn"BIOS Update (Bootable CD)" - you can write this to a USB stick, too18:13
R13oseThanks!18:14
tomreynyou currently have BIOS G6ETC2WW (2.82 ) 11/21/201818:14
Roeyhi18:15
Roeyanyone here?  How do I mirror my panel from one monitor to the other?18:15
gnoobOh,  I did this the other day.  I think.  Right click the desktop Add Panel -> Kubuntu Default panel18:17
Roeythansk!18:18
Roeybut I have to add a new panel no?18:18
Roeylike, to build it up the same way?18:18
gnoobOh, i see you have customizations.18:18
gnoobah, that's different probably18:19
Roeyyes indeed18:19
tomreynR13ose: dmesg looks fine. you may get better performance if you'll disable "secure boot" in bios.18:19
=== Metamorphosis is now known as A-cat
tomreynR13ose: i guess i'd agree that the system may get slow due to the cpu mostly. primarily because of the (cpu) integrated graphics and its age.18:22
R13oseWhat is the solution to the cpu slowness?18:23
tomreynreplacing the laptop18:23
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> use fewer browser tabs I guess18:23
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> The last few upgrades to the browser have made it to use more RAM...I think u should know18:24
tomreynTshering1980 which web browser is this?18:25
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Both Chrome and Firefox18:26
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Google it18:26
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Also if planning to upgrade BIOS, and if system doesnot inherently support it under Linux, FREEDOS will help u upgrade the BIOS18:28
tomreynR13ose: comparison of your cpu to a current laptop cpu: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i7-3667U-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800U/894vs410218:28
tomreyn(also yours will lack hardware support for some video encodings, which can make a major difference)18:29
R13oseI'm using Vivaldi as my main browser18:30
R13oseThanks for the suggestion with Freedos18:30
tomreynyou won't need to use freedos18:31
tomreynif you disable secureboot you can actually do the bios upgrade from kubuntu18:31
tomreynor you just write the iso to a usb18:31
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://vivaldi.com/blog/improve-performance-in-vivaldi/18:31
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> It also says in Vivaldi, each tab you open will hog up RAM18:33
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> either 8th generation or 11th generation i7 processor for laptops will do for you18:43
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/gaming/i7-laptop-processor-for-gaming.html18:43
tomreynR13ose: you can possibly inspect the web browsers' memory allocation at this url: chrome://system/18:44
tomreyn(i don't use Vivaldi so i'm guessing based on chromium, which uses the same rendering engine)18:45
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> All modern browsers use more RAM18:45
R13osetomreyn: how do I do a bios upgrade from kubuntu after I disable secureboot?18:46
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Provided your laptop motherboard supports it (re @Tshering1980: either 8th generation or 11th generation i7 processor for laptops will do for you)18:47
tomreynR13ose: using the software update application *should* work (i never did it this way, though), or directly using the fwupd CLI18:48
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> I will need to learn how to do BIOS upgrade using fwupd.....  😀18:49
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Y don't they just make BIOS files in .Deb or .rpm format along with .EXE18:52
tomreynR13ose: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/lvfs-lenovo-firmware-updates-linux18:52
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> THIS IS NEWS !!18:55
tomreynhmm your 1st Gen X1 Carbon does not seem to be supported through fwupd18:55
tomreynyes, 2018 news18:55
tomreynor 2015 rather, thats when fwupd started18:55
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> I didn't notice earlier18:56
R13oseI saw that18:56
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Also coz I don't have all my systems on EFI18:56
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Some r still Legacy18:56
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Updated 2019 March 31st (re @IrcsomeBot: <tomreyn> R13ose: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/lvfs-lenovo-firmware-updates-linux)18:57
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/19:04
R13oseThe iso file doesn't seem bootable.19:05
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> If .exe file better off with freedos19:06
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Burn freedos to usb19:06
R13oseOkay19:08
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Get .exe file in freedos(remember the name of file and exact characters with .exe included) , bootup the usb and after typing name of file ( including .exe) press enter19:08
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> But see youtube video before using it. also see documentation19:12

IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ee4bac49/FD12FULL.vmdk19:14
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://irc-attachments.kde.org/43df1775/README.md19:14
R13oseThanks19:17
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Tomreyn I think will know more about ur system19:20
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Freedos are for Legacy systems19:21
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> For BIOS upgrade19:21
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> Urs is EFI19:22
R13oseThe BIOS upgrade worked afaik19:26
tomreynjournalctl -b | grep DMI:    will tell19:26
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> 👍19:26
R13oseYep that command shows BIOS upgraded19:30
R13oseThanks tomreyn for recommending that.19:31
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> https://support.lenovo.com/pa/en/downloads/DS540232  tomreyn what does the bios utility tool for linux mean ?19:31
tomreynR13ose: you're welcome19:31
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> does it support 16.04 or 16.04 onwards ?19:31
tomreynTshering1980: i assume this means to say it supports (exactly) Ubuntu 16.04 LTS19:32
R13osetomreyn: is there anything else I should be upgrading?19:33
tomreynsomeone needs to tell lenovo that there is no and never was a "Ubuntu 16"19:33
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> 😂😂😂19:33
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> So, ISO cd is the way to go - by the way is the ISO an ISO-HYBRID ?19:34
tomreynR13ose: i don't know whether your kubuntu installation is updated, you can try   sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade19:34
R13oseMine is 21.0419:34
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> R13ose - added backports ppa ?19:36
R13oseWhich backports ppa specifically?19:36
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> kubuntu backports ppa for non-LTS releases19:36
IrcsomeBot<Tshering1980> As notified on kubuntu website19:37
R13oseOkay19:39
neo1968LIST hack20:13
tomreynneo1968: we have plenty of kubuntu warze on offer here.20:49
