[00:22] <Sildara> Hey all, any reason global themes wont apply properly?
[01:35] <mmikowski> Sildara: I've been working on that this week.
[01:36] <mmikowski> It appears that some global theme conventions are supported differently in 5.27.
[01:37] <mmikowski> So some older themes or those not recently updated might not work.
[01:38] <mmikowski> Sildara: is this plasma 5.24.7, or 5.27? Kinda got ahead of myself there, whoops
[01:39] <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.
[01:53] <Sildara> Ah I only installed yesterday so I assume i'm running the latest
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <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.
[01:56] <mmikowski> You can check your plasma version under system settings > about this system
[02:33] <Ike> Can anyone help me set up japanese input?
[02:55] <Sildara> It's Kubuntu 22.10 mmikowski
[03:43] <mmikowski> Sildara: Then 5.27?
[03:43] <mmikowski> Plasma 5.27? See system settings check ^^
[03:44] <Sildara> Says Plasma 5.25.5
[03:47] <MeganMay> is Kubuntu a joke or a real project?
[03:54] <ahmed> MeganMay: Real project
[03:55] <MeganMay> lol
[03:55] <MeganMay> K
[03:56] <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.
[03:58] <Sildara> LTS?
[03:58] <mmikowski> Long Term Support
[03:59] <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?
[04:00] <mmikowski> MeganMay: KDE
[04:00] <mmikowski> it is also an actual word similar to Ubuntu in meaning.
[04:00] <MeganMay> whats it mean
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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
[04:04] <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?
[04:05] <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.
[04:06] <Sildara> Alright it's downloading now
[04:06] <Sildara> Will fire up etcher
[04:07] <mmikowski> The KDE "startup disk creator" is even easier IMO.
[04:07] <mmikowski> never had an issue with it.
[05:57] <Sildara> Yeah nah global themes still not working
[06:15] <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?
[06:18] <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.
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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.
[06:21] <mmikowski> That likely won't fix the themes, but it will give you a much bigger head start.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> Hi all

 hi guys
 i was installing ubuntu and every time i try to boot from the usb i get a screen that says "welcom to grub" and nothing happen after that
 Make bootable and do a boot repair
 see if it's solved (re @osvmv123: hi guys
 i was installing ubuntu and every time i try to boot from the usb i get a screen that says "welcom to grub" and nothing happen after that)
 I'm on opensuse and fedora | kde and xfce these days
 Ubuntu was very resource hungry in my case
[18:12] <tomreyn> DPRanjiida: if you're looking for support with ubuntu, not kubuntu, try the libera.chat IRC network, channel #ubuntu (a webchat is available)
 After installing the codecs now MS font won't fully install and stuck here for too long. Any suggestions? : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/e72f6e0d/file_64569.jpg

[20:04] <mmikowski> Gecko250: Try again later. The upstream server might be broken.
[20:04] <mmikowski> ^ temporarily.
 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] <mmikowski> cool!
