[00:22] Hey all, any reason global themes wont apply properly? [01:35] Sildara: I've been working on that this week. [01:36] It appears that some global theme conventions are supported differently in 5.27. [01:37] So some older themes or those not recently updated might not work. [01:38] Sildara: is this plasma 5.24.7, or 5.27? Kinda got ahead of myself there, whoops [01:39] In summary, if you're playing with 5.27, see above. Issues with 5.24.7 LTS are probably as they have always been. === GrayGhost is now known as mhc_ === mhc_ is now known as GrayGhost [01:53] Ah I only installed yesterday so I assume i'm running the latest [01:54] Sildara: What version of Kubuntu? [01:54] KDE Plasma 5.25.5 [01:54] 22.04 LTS = plasma 5.24.x, and most existing global themes that have been fairly recently updated should work. [01:55] 5.27.x, in my experience, has issues with global themes. [01:55] Not all, but at least some more common 3rd part themes. [01:56] You can check your plasma version under system settings > about this system [02:33] Can anyone help me set up japanese input? [02:55] It's Kubuntu 22.10 mmikowski [03:43] Sildara: Then 5.27? [03:43] Plasma 5.27? See system settings check ^^ [03:44] Says Plasma 5.25.5 [03:47] is Kubuntu a joke or a real project? [03:54] MeganMay: Real project [03:55] lol [03:55] K [03:56] 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. [03:58] LTS? [03:58] Long Term Support [03:59] And yeah I just grabbed the stable release off the KDE website [03:59] Any way to update without reinstalling the whole iso? [03:59] Or downgrade even [03:59] Not really; reinstall is by far fastest and most complete. [03:59] whats with the K in Kubuntu? [04:00] MeganMay: KDE [04:00] it is also an actual word similar to Ubuntu in meaning. [04:00] whats it mean [04:01] o nvm [04:01] I searched [04:01] Bloody hell. Alright i'll reinstall [04:01] Which version would you recommend>/ [04:01] ? [04:01] 22.04 LTS [04:02] Sildara: What problem are you having? [04:02] ahmed: None of my global themes are working properly [04:02] Aright i'll download that iso now [04:03] Sildara: You might TRY 22.04 on the live USB first and see if your themes work there. [04:03] If it does, then you can proceed with confidence. [04:03] If it doesn't, then it might be a waste of time. [04:03] Absolutely true [04:04] Sildara: ^^ and something completely different. [04:04] I'll boot into live and see if it works that's brilliant advice [04:04] no point in reinstalling to get back to "still broken" :) [04:04] Cool, please let me know how it goes! [04:04] 22.04.2 or 22.04.5? [04:05] latest should be 22.04 LTS. That has 3 years of support. [04:05] I think you are seeing 20.04.5 LTS too, which runs out in a month. [04:05] or so. [04:06] Alright it's downloading now [04:06] Will fire up etcher [04:07] The KDE "startup disk creator" is even easier IMO. [04:07] never had an issue with it. === sildara_ is now known as Sildara [05:57] Yeah nah global themes still not working [06:15] sorry to hear that Sildara. what are you ugrading from? 20.04 LTS or something? [06:15] Also, as these themes you used before? [06:18] No i've only started using Linux since yesterday [06:18] I'm updating all the software now maybe that was an issue [06:18] That might be. 22.04 LTS is pretty stable. [06:19] Make sure you enable backports. [06:19] What's a backport? [06:19] or you could just do this which sets everything up for you including backports and lots of other software: https://kfocus.org/reinstall.html [06:20] Sweet i'll do that [06:20] With that, you don't need to worry about it; it's just be set up for you. [06:21] That likely won't fix the themes, but it will give you a much bigger head start. [12:18] Hi all === sutradhar is now known as hashbang [13:27] what's up? [13:29] I don't like this kombat chatroom, I want another. [13:32] this is kubuntu support chat [13:55] Please I'm having trouble getting my login screen [13:55] It get stuck here.
