 Hey guys, after latest kde update dual monitor setup is broken. At login screen both work, after login only 1. I have Nvidia. Any fix?
[07:21] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:22] <locsmif> Does Kubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute) support different font scaling setting per monitor already?
[08:23] <locsmif> Or different scaling in general
[12:28] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:43] <AikenDrum> Hi, Does anyone know the Kubuntu equivalent of Fedora's lock group ?
[13:47] <AikenDrum> Hello ?
[13:53] <mparillo> What is Fedora's lock group?
[13:58] <AikenDrum> @mparillo: I don't know. I'm trying to get a single board computer running and its web page says that Fedora users need to add themselves to groups uucp, dialout and lock. I am already a member of groups dialout and uucp. I just need to know the name of Kubuntu's equivalent of Fedora's lock group.
[13:59] <mparillo> If it at the user admin level, then it should be the same across all flavours. I recommend you ask at #ubuntu.
[14:00] <mparillo> But it may be Fedora-specific. I cannot find anything in Ubuntu documentation and Arch does not use it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/users_and_groups#Unused_groups
[14:01] <AikenDrum> @mparillo: I was aske at #ubuntu to try here. :-(
[14:04] <AikenDrum> @mparillo: Thanks for the link, though.
[14:06] <AikenDrum> Bye.
[17:20] <Guest0> sometimes when I launch a compilation job, the UI totally freezes for several seconds. I can't even move the mouse cursor. I know I could reduce the number of parallel jobs, but isn't there some simple switch to make Kubuntu/Ubuntu/kernel whatever always run every single damn non-system task at background priority, so that my desktop doesn't get
[17:20] <Guest0> frozen like it keeps doing?
[17:21] <Guest0> And whatever that setting is, it should be a default
[17:21] <Guest0> Imagine if some misbehaving app uses up all your CPU cores, how is the user supposed to kill it when their keyboard and mouse stop being responsive?
[17:22] <TJ-> Guest0: if the -generic kernel is installed that uses cooperative multi-tasking; that means all processes have to play nice to give up the CPU. For desktop it is better to use a -lowlatency kernel that does real pre-emptive multi-tasking (kernel interrupts processes forcibly)
[17:22] <oerheks> just wait until the build job is done? why do intensive tasks while building?
[17:23] <Guest0> this is a standard install, so yeah it's it's using generic. I didnt know there were others.
[17:23] <Guest0> oerheks: why stare at a frozen monitor? I'd prefer to alt-tab to something to read
[17:24] <Guest0> Since the UI is frozen, I have no choice but to wait for Kubuntu to unfreeze
[17:24] <TJ-> Guest0: yes; I've never understood why *buntu desktop installers use the -generic kernel
[17:25] <Guest0> TJ-: I'll read up on how to switch to the low-latency kernel. why dont they make -lowlatency the default on desktop installs?
[17:25] <Guest0> ha! :)
[17:26] <TJ-> Guest0: "apt install linux-lowlatency"
[17:27] <TJ-> Guest0: that'll pull in linux-{image,headers}-lowlatency which will, in turn, pull in the version-specific linux-{image,modules,headers}-$VERSION packages
[17:28] <Guest0> I haven't read up on that stuff yet, but on servers you'd suggest cooperative multi-tasking?
[17:28] <TJ-> Guest0: received wisdom seems to suggest -generic on servers but I don't see why - theycan suffer starvation even more if they host multiple hungry services
[17:30] <Guest0> oh, the low-latency kernel is much older, 5.4 vs generic's 5.11
[17:30] <TJ-> look for the -hwe- versions then
[17:31] <TJ-> Guest0: "apt-cache search linux-lowlatency-hwe* "
[20:21] <user|12> I am new to Linux and which is better Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[20:26] <user|12> can anyone help
[20:40] <valorie> user|12: kubuntu if you like the KDE Plasma environment and applications
[20:40] <valorie> if you like gnome stuff, ubuntu
[20:40] <valorie> it's all the same underneath
[20:40] <valorie> right, they left of course
