| Sildara | Hey all, any reason global themes wont apply properly? | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| mmikowski | Sildara: I've been working on that this week. | 01:35 |
| mmikowski | It appears that some global theme conventions are supported differently in 5.27. | 01:36 |
| mmikowski | So some older themes or those not recently updated might not work. | 01:37 |
| mmikowski | Sildara: is this plasma 5.24.7, or 5.27? Kinda got ahead of myself there, whoops | 01:38 |
| mmikowski | In summary, if you're playing with 5.27, see above. Issues with 5.24.7 LTS are probably as they have always been. | 01:39 |

| Sildara | Ah I only installed yesterday so I assume i'm running the latest | 01:53 |
| mmikowski | Sildara: What version of Kubuntu? | 01:54 |
| Sildara | KDE Plasma 5.25.5 | 01:54 |
| mmikowski | 22.04 LTS = plasma 5.24.x, and most existing global themes that have been fairly recently updated should work. | 01:54 |
| mmikowski | 5.27.x, in my experience, has issues with global themes. | 01:55 |
| mmikowski | Not all, but at least some more common 3rd part themes. | 01:55 |
| mmikowski | You can check your plasma version under system settings > about this system | 01:56 |
| Ike | Can anyone help me set up japanese input? | 02:33 |
| Sildara | It's Kubuntu 22.10 mmikowski | 02:55 |
| mmikowski | Sildara: Then 5.27? | 03:43 |
| mmikowski | Plasma 5.27? See system settings check ^^ | 03:43 |
| Sildara | Says Plasma 5.25.5 | 03:44 |
| MeganMay | is Kubuntu a joke or a real project? | 03:47 |
| ahmed | MeganMay: Real project | 03:54 |
| MeganMay | lol | 03:55 |
| MeganMay | K | 03:55 |
| mmikowski | If you need a daily driver, I suggest a LTS system. Alternately, you might update to 5.27 in the backports. Plasma 5.25 is a transitional release, and you are better supported in either of 5.24.x or 5.27.x as those are both LTS releases. | 03:56 |
| Sildara | LTS? | 03:58 |
| mmikowski | Long Term Support | 03:58 |
| Sildara | And yeah I just grabbed the stable release off the KDE website | 03:59 |
| Sildara | Any way to update without reinstalling the whole iso? | 03:59 |
| Sildara | Or downgrade even | 03:59 |
| mmikowski | Not really; reinstall is by far fastest and most complete. | 03:59 |
| MeganMay | whats with the K in Kubuntu? | 03:59 |
| mmikowski | MeganMay: KDE | 04:00 |
| mmikowski | it is also an actual word similar to Ubuntu in meaning. | 04:00 |
| MeganMay | whats it mean | 04:00 |
| MeganMay | o nvm | 04:01 |
| MeganMay | I searched | 04:01 |
| Sildara | Bloody hell. Alright i'll reinstall | 04:01 |
| Sildara | Which version would you recommend>/ | 04:01 |
| Sildara | ? | 04:01 |
| mmikowski | 22.04 LTS | 04:01 |
| ahmed | Sildara: What problem are you having? | 04:02 |
| Sildara | ahmed: None of my global themes are working properly | 04:02 |
| Sildara | Aright i'll download that iso now | 04:02 |
| mmikowski | Sildara: You might TRY 22.04 on the live USB first and see if your themes work there. | 04:03 |
| mmikowski | If it does, then you can proceed with confidence. | 04:03 |
| mmikowski | If it doesn't, then it might be a waste of time. | 04:03 |
| Sildara | Absolutely true | 04:03 |
| mmikowski | Sildara: ^^ and something completely different. | 04:04 |
| Sildara | I'll boot into live and see if it works that's brilliant advice | 04:04 |
| mmikowski | no point in reinstalling to get back to "still broken" :) | 04:04 |
| mmikowski | Cool, please let me know how it goes! | 04:04 |
| Sildara | 22.04.2 or 22.04.5? | 04:04 |
| mmikowski | latest should be 22.04 LTS. That has 3 years of support. | 04:05 |
| mmikowski | I think you are seeing 20.04.5 LTS too, which runs out in a month. | 04:05 |
| mmikowski | or so. | 04:05 |
| Sildara | Alright it's downloading now | 04:06 |
| Sildara | Will fire up etcher | 04:06 |
| mmikowski | The KDE "startup disk creator" is even easier IMO. | 04:07 |
| mmikowski | never had an issue with it. | 04:07 |
| === sildara_ is now known as Sildara | ||
| Sildara | Yeah nah global themes still not working | 05:57 |
| mmikowski | sorry to hear that Sildara. what are you ugrading from? 20.04 LTS or something? | 06:15 |
| mmikowski | Also, as these themes you used before? | 06:15 |
| Sildara | No i've only started using Linux since yesterday | 06:18 |
| Sildara | I'm updating all the software now maybe that was an issue | 06:18 |
| mmikowski | That might be. 22.04 LTS is pretty stable. | 06:18 |
| mmikowski | Make sure you enable backports. | 06:19 |
| Sildara | What's a backport? | 06:19 |
| mmikowski | or you could just do this which sets everything up for you including backports and lots of other software: https://kfocus.org/reinstall.html | 06:19 |
| Sildara | Sweet i'll do that | 06:20 |
| mmikowski | With that, you don't need to worry about it; it's just be set up for you. | 06:20 |
| mmikowski | That likely won't fix the themes, but it will give you a much bigger head start. | 06:21 |

| tomreyn | kgarba: if you're still there: boot to recovery and select the options enable networking and start a root shell, then run : apt update; apt -f install; apt install kubuntu-desktop | 15:39 |
| tomreyn | !recovery | 15:39 |
| ubottu | If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 15:39 |

| mmikowski | Gecko250: Try again later. The upstream server might be broken. | 20:04 |
| mmikowski | ^ temporarily. | 20:04 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Gecko250> Thanks I removed and reinstalled once again and now it's fine (re @IrcsomeBot: <mmikowski> Gecko250: Try again later. The upstream server might be broken.) | 20:25 |
