[01:06] Hi [01:08] Ive not been using linux on a desktop machine (as opposed to, say, my Pi) in a while, is there a way to start a program with a low priority? Im having the problem that whenever i try to start utlimaker cura, it works allright - except it doesnt if i allready have any other application even a webbrowser open, then it locks up the system and i can reach for the power button. Becouse starting that is just to much of a load for my [01:08] machine. [01:10] (my machine being a core2duo E5700 after my ryzen 3700 main rig died, no idea whats up with that, RIP, so, yes, that load is quite a bit for this machine) [01:13] RTG: "nice" is a utility to modify a processes' priority. [01:17] RTG: more swap *may* also help [01:17] or cgroups [03:09] On Kubuntu you can also use KSysGuard as a GUI for seeing what processes are using what, and reprioritising them (it's very similar to the Task Manager on Windows). Although, on such a system, KSysGuard may be too much additional overhead itself :D === m_ueberall is now known as ueberall === N3X15_ is now known as N3X15 === WildSoft_ is now known as WildSoft === m_ueberall is now known as ueberall === swiftapp__ is now known as swiftapp === E_Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer [04:51] whats up guys [04:54] anyone have a inside on how to configure No Man's Sky on linux === clickwir_ is now known as clickwir === keithzg__ is now known as keithzg [05:51] Frankly I'm lazy enough that if it doesn't work with Proton out of the box I generally don't bother, heh [07:29] Finally noticed a problem after my upgrade to 21.04 a few days back: Gwenview no longer fits images right (ie. Zoom To Fit used to correctly maximize the image, now it makes it tiny in the middle of the area) [07:32] There's a (new, I assume) option to "enlarge smaller images" that was unchecked and returns the behaviour to what it previously was, but that was quite surprising (especially in that it's contrary to what I expect from the term "zoom", haha) [08:15] hello everyone [08:16] thanks for kubuntu developer for the hard work and for the perfect OS thy offer [08:17] i just want to say thanks awesome OS vary vary powerful [08:40] i have Windows 10 but it is nun-comparable to kubuntu performance and feature [08:40] wish you the best === Morpheus is now known as Mekaneck [11:22] heyo [11:22] I've switched from Gnome to KDE recently [11:22] for some reason my wifi download speed is extremely slow now [11:23] does kde use a different connection management compared to gnome? [11:25] btw I'm using the plasma 5.23 beta ppa [11:25] on 21.10 [11:33] lumo_e: no, Kubuntu uses the same underlying networking packages and config as main ubuntu [11:34] :( [11:34] any idea as to what I should look at to troubleshoot this? [11:46] maybe you exceed your bandwidth limits [11:53] is there still such a thing in 2021? Most providers give you unlimited bandwith these days. [11:54] i dot know [11:55] i add Ubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 20 04 and every thing is perfect [11:55] try driver page in update tap [11:56] maybe you find drivers is not installed or not in use === Santurysim is now known as Ermine [12:30] sorry kubuntu [12:55] Hi folks === Iamthehuman is now known as Iamthehuman1 === franko is now known as franko_afk === franko_afk is now known as franko [18:29] helo [18:35] is it a bad idea to add xscreensaver to kde? [18:59] I have not tried it, but https://askubuntu.com/questions/1152896/how-to-use-xscreensaver-on-kubuntu-18-04-20-04-kde-plasma makes it look possible. [20:35] ciao === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === franko is now known as franko_afk === franko_afk is now known as franko [22:59] I'm not using it either, but I see no reason why xscreensaver in KDE woud be a bad idea... [23:00] now that you mention it, I'm actually tempted to install it myself... XD [23:01] Security, that's the issue. If you're not too worried about someone physically at your computer having perhaps an easier time getting into a locked session or seeing the state of your screen behind the screensaver, I don't know if there's any concerns, but that's where the concerns reside IIRC. [23:02] I see. But how comes? [23:02] Old stuff, is what it comes down to :D A lot of the same reasons why X11 is being replaced with Wayland. [23:03] yeah, OK... [23:04] To be fair I'm not sure xscreensaver was ever nearly as bad in this regard as Gnome's X11 screensaver stuff, but that's another story... [23:04] I think Mate is still using it.. [23:07] As per https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#gnome-screensaver, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.", okay I'll stop trying to stir up trouble now and go off for a walk :D [23:08] anyway, last time I've used XScreensaver was as a cool backdrop for poetry reading I've had -- there is a lot of cool possibilities for showing text. But even then, it was not activated as the screensaver... So don't really know how it is when it comes to screenlocking these days. [23:13] @keithzg Never seen that before... XD
