Guest58Hi, I need help with setting up Kate Text Editor for running Python on it06:27
alkisgGuest58: you want to run python inside kate? I think you should be looking for an IDE then, not a simple editor06:37
alkisgE.g. vscode, pycharm...06:37
alkisgWhile if you want to just open the terminal at the bottom of kate, and run python programs there without debugging, sure that's easy06:37
Guest58Oh, I didn't know it can't do debugging06:48
Guest58Is there a better open source alternative to Pycharm Community Version then? one that can make projects bigger than 2 GB06:51
Guest58Anyway, I gtg; thank you for your reply, alkisg06:57
alkisgGuest58: vscode is open source06:58
alkisgGuest58: you have a single code file over 2 GB?06:58
alkisgI think you misunderstood the limitation there...06:59
alkisgpycharm is great06:59
Guest30Hello07:39
rtgSo, how bad is google chrome? Shouldnt be a problem to only have it run when i want it to and such, right? I know its terrible for privacy and such, but it cant be terrible with security, people are, after all, handling high-value assets in metamask for example?12:39
BluesKajHi folks13:06
rtgHi BluesKaj13:13
BluesKajhi rtg13:13
mparilloI used to use Chromium on all Google properties, figuring that they knew everything about me anyway. But now Ubuntu uses snaps for Chromium, so if I REALLY wanted the experience it is more of a toss-up between Chrome and Chromium..13:28
mparilloIt looks like there is a .deb for ungoogled chromium https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/debian_unportable/amd64/87.0.4280.141-1.unportable1 but I have never tried it.13:31
rtgmparillo: i dont plan on using it a lot either way. Just a few applications, as long as chrome doesnt do any stupid shit like trying to start when i dont want it to or running in the background when i dont want it to i figure it doenst matter with how rare i use and with the big market share of google chrome i figure any security issues ill not be the first to encounter espacialy with how rarely i plan of using it.13:35
alkisgIn our 1000+ schools here, we had firefox as the default and chromium-browser as a fallback for certain cases. When chromium became a snap, we switched to google-chrome.deb. We didn't have any issues with it; if firefox snaps, we may even switch to google-chrome as the primary browser...13:41
rtgyou use linux in "your 1000+" schools? Wheres that? Maybe that changed, too, since ive been at school, would make sense actualy since here in germany it would be illegal to use windows on a computer that gets in contact with customer/citicen data due to privacy laws mandating you tell people exactly what is going to be done with their data (and the option to have it removed) which you can not do if there is a possibility windows may send13:51
rtgsome of it to a different nation entirely.13:51
alkisgrtg: in Greece, https://ts.sch.gr/wiki/Linux/LTSP/Προχωρημένα/Χάρτης13:55
jiggawattyay Greece13:59
jiggawattsaving $$$  on proprietary licenses13:59
rtgI consider taxes waste in general. If something is in demand/makes sense to do it will be done in a free market, including security and such.14:01
alkisgIn education at least; because some other areas of the public sector gave millions on MS licenses :)14:01
alkisgIt's also nice to have a local expert team that customizes linux for schools; it's not 100% suitable out of the box14:01
R13oseIs there a way to tell how much power my wireless headphones has?  I'm USB charging them right now and still want to know.14:33
logilypeR13ose maybe check your user manual how much mah your headphones battery has14:35
R13oseI have checked that.  I meant charge as in how 60% or 40% or 20% etc.14:37
logilypeMaybe there is an addon or something that shows it14:41
R13oseI will look14:43
Fatal_SushiR13ose: if it's about the head phone it's not a Kubuntu support question15:10
Fatal_Sushiunless you mean if there's a way to show in kubuntu15:10
R13oseI do mean a way to show in kubuntu15:12
Fatal_Sushii don't think so unless it's bluetooth,15:13
Fatal_Sushiwait, even bluetooth doesn't show it15:13
Fatal_Sushiso no15:13
TJ-R13ose: many Bluetooth devices, when connected (on BT) will report their power levels via the system power monitor (e.g. here I see mouse and keyboard battery state)15:17
Fatal_SushiTJ-: could it depend on the device?15:19
Fatal_Sushiand of course the Plasma version15:19
R13oseIt's bluetooth15:19
Fatal_SushiR13ose: which plasma version you use?15:20
TJ-Fatal_Sushi: yes, there's a 'protocol' for devices to use to report that info15:20
Fatal_Sushii know my bluetooth headset doesn't show the percentage15:21
R13osePlasma version is 5.22.515:22
Fatal_SushiR13ose: then it depends on your device wether it's showing or not15:25
punkgeekAfter the last Kubuntu 20.04 update, my laptop's fan runs at the maximum speed for no reason. Here is the sensor command output, which shows all temperatures are ok. https://paste.ofcode.org/UsNmrk2S5ykXJWPaHfmxR515:30

IrcsomeBot<Juane> Someone?? (re @Juane: Do you know how may i fix it?!)16:44
tomreynJuane: if it's been hours since you last asked your questionand you got no response, yet, it can be good to repeat it.18:07
tomreynbut not all questions will get an answer - try to provide problem details, system information (hardware, kubuntu version, kernel version), logs18:08
rtgwtf18:14
rtgwhy is kern.log nearly 300GB large?18:14
rtgand syslog another 300GB18:15
TJ-rtg: something generating messages presumably18:15
rtgthats... thats a lot of messages :D18:16
rtgokay. Appearently had to do with the game i had open as now it doesnt grow by 100 MB every couple seconds anymore.18:18
TJ-rtg: might be a good idea to see what those messages are!18:21
rtgit might be but like opening a 300GB large logfile?18:21
rtgthats... uhm how do i even handle a 300GB file like that18:21
TJ-look somewhere else, those log entries will be in the journal too I'd have thought, so the last 200: "journalctl -k -n 200 "18:23
alkisgtail -c 1000 /var/log/syslog18:23
rtgso theres a bit about denied audits with discord, but thats not gonna be the issue i dont think (whatever that means)18:27
rtgI believe the issue has something to do with the GPU18:27
rtgthough no wait... those are all dated after i closed the game, so i need to go back further  than just 200 entries18:28
TJ-rtg: "journalctl -k --since="1 hour ago" "18:29
IrcsomeBot<Halis> That might lag, if he got 100mb every couple seconds (re @IrcsomeBot: <TJ-> rtg: "journalctl -k --since="1 hour ago" ")18:30
rtgoh wait, no it is that. appearently the time at the beginning of each line is the time i do the journalctl thing...18:30
rtgyeah yeah. it was a GPU issue while the game was running.18:30
rtghold on i make a paste18:31
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Maybe try with 2000 lines and see which message is like 100s of times (re @IrcsomeBot: <rtg> though no wait... those are all dated after i closed the game, so i need to go back further  than just 200 entries)18:31
rtgthose are the types of messages that constantly came up. THe date before the line however isnt actualy the date it happened, its the date i call journalctl, i was confused about that at first https://pastebin.com/1pXAmc8M18:34
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Or even "sudo tail -c 20000 /var/log/syslog"18:35
TJ-rtg: hardware error18:36
TJ-rtg: that is reporting constant PCIe communication errors to/from the GPU18:37
rtgyeah18:37
TJ-rtg: try powering off and re-seating the GPU18:37
rtgCould it be a bios issue? Cause what caused me to fully switch to linux was windows forcing an update messing itself up in the process and i believe the bios was altered as well for while it is not consistently failing to boot it was not consistently booting, either(no matter wether windows on SSD, Kubuntu from USB, whatever), and it gave off beep codes that my mainboard shouldnt even have.18:43
rtgHaving a Gigabyte board, and sometimes it did 2 long followed by 3 short beeps. Which is not an errorcode gigabyte lists, it does however corrospond to CMOS error in AMI-Bios which is the only one where i found a corrosponding code.18:45
rtgor just a game issue, gnomoria is not a stable game in the slightest, thats no news.18:49
tomreynupdate the bios and you'll opssibly know whether it was a bios issue. the error is just with the graphics card (and the audio chip on it), though, not any other pci devices18:49
tomreynit could also be a power supply issue, some graphics cards need a separate power supply.18:50
rtgcurrently running GLmark2 to see if that causes any issues.18:50
rtgcertainly looking more complex than any of the sprites in gnomoria :D18:51
tomreynjournalctl -b | grep DMI:     will tell you your mainboard and firmware version18:51
rtgGLmark2 did end up having an error eventualy but that looks like a software problem with glmark2 https://pastebin.com/RvSeYBdQ18:54
tomreynif the kernel already reports hardware errors, trying to analyze the hardware from user space is not going to be very fruitful18:57
rtgtomreyn: no. it doesnt. journalctl -b | grep DMI: seems to ramp the fan up for a bit while it seems to do something but then it doesnt print anything before it stops doing stuff.18:58
tomreynrtg: hmm, did your disk run full by chance?19:00
rtgno, while those logs really ate up a lot of space theres still over 200GB available19:00
tomreynwhich arch, kubuntu release is this?19:01
rtg21.10,19:02
tomreynand probably amd64. i guess you will be able to examine the bios version from the bios setup.19:03
rtgassuming its one bios version and not some weird result of windows trying to flash it and failing to completly do so... Which is what i think happened.19:07
valoriecmos has a battery and they can fail19:09
rtgat least what i suspect. really suspicious of the mainboard in general at this point.19:09
valorieit happened to me, years ago19:09
rtgi know, just replaced that battery.19:09
rtgin the course of adressing a different problem which in the end turned out to be a broken stick of memory or at least i think thats what it was.19:10
rtgits also possible we overanalysing a problem thats only sloppy coding? I dont know if that *could* result from the sloppy code of gnomoria?19:12
rtgfirst and only time that problem occoured, after all, and i know that to be not the most stable of games.19:13
valoriethat is def. not KDE software -- you might find more help in #ubuntu19:14
valoriemuch larger channel19:15
rtggonna reboot in any case, and hope im not running into severe problems tonight19:29
rtgyeah the GPU might have issues. On the bright side, they dont actualy... those issues dont actualy manifest in any way yet except in the logfiles whichs size, yes, can become a bit of an issue...20:27
rtgmaybe just direct that stuff to dev/null may be the solution for now.20:38
oerheks10de:0fb9 points to HDA audio, not gpu20:53
rtghuh21:01
rtgso im right to be suspicious of the mainboard then?! oerheks21:02
oerhekscheck your bios if an AC'97 mode exists for audio21:03
oerheksthat would be basic 2.121:03
oerheks.. or lower specs in that game?21:03
rtgoerheks: its appearently not exclusive to having a game run and uhm, this is the game https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/224500/ss_803fa919f0f3c0aca1d59b0c8e5e2e55be0f6ea0.600x338.jpg?t=145626246221:04
rtgthough now the logfiles are only 500mb each, which honestly compared to when the game was, well, it was paused and in menu, sure, but it was running and ticking up 100mb on each file every 2 seconds or so21:06
rtgBut i can check on audio options of the mainboard.21:14
logilypei need help21:15
rtgin the bios i mean21:15
logilypesudo dpkg --add-architecture i38621:15

oerheksfor wine and their repo, join #winehq21:20
rtgOnly option is to enable or disable what it calls "HD Audio". Disabling it means no audio at all.21:27
rtgand it works, just produces those logs is the only problem.21:27

rtgThough at the moment discord writes a lot more to the logs about denied audits whatever that means. may just end up disabling rsyslog, can allways check up on it if theres an actual problem21:40
tomreynoerheks: 10de:0fb9 is the intel audio chip on an nvidia graphics card (for hdmi audio), for what i can tell21:42
