forcefullhey, I just installed kubuntu, and for some reason bluetooth gets automatically turned on when I boot the system. is there a way to turn that off?07:40
weedmicgo to system settings>type blue tooth>edit it at will07:53
weedmicforcefull: ^07:53
forcefullweedmic: well if system settings would open :) will relog in to see if that fixes it07:59
forcefullweedmic: thanks :) one issue down. do you have any idea about the non-centered windows?08:02
forcefulloh I should meantion that I am on the kubuntu-ppa/backports plasma. this still happens on kubuntu 23.04 "proper"08:03
weedmicforcefull: pls post a link to a pic of "non centered windows" - I do not know what you mean.  i also have no idea what "kubuntu-ppa/backports plasma".  plasma sounds like kde to me though.08:12
forcefullweedmic: the kubuntu team pushes newer plasma releases (and backports them to older distro releases) on the launchpad.net platform08:13
forcefullweedmic: and this is what happens when I open windows which are not maximized https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/57b13259a53208:16
forcefull(but system settings is configured to centered for new windows)08:16
weedmichow is that not centered forcefull?08:30
weedmicbecause they are tiled after the first one, but only ?near? the centre?08:30
forcefullweedmic: oO the first window (lowest) is centered all the other ones are offcenter08:30
forcefullyes08:30
weedmicwhere did you find the center command - i'm not having luck b/c I have forgotten what it is in english08:34
forcefullsystem settings -> window management -> advanced08:35
forcefullbut there is no command afaik08:35
weedmicsomewhere near there I remember the word "tiled", if you find it, try to unclick it and see if they stack directly on eachother (which I believe is what you want).08:36
weedmicSystem Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects - uncheck "present windows"08:39
weedmicif it doesn't work - put it back08:40
forcefullI can't even find that setting08:40
weedmicI stopped going there when they got rid of cube :( :(08:41
forcefullweedmic: nope, does nothing08:41
weedmicwhich part is missing "desktop effect"?08:41
weedmico, try this - just a sec08:42
weedmicto restart plasma - (faster than a logout login) "killall plasmashell;plasmashell > /dev/null 2>&1 &"08:42
forcefullweedmic: you mean with the present window disabled?08:44
weedmicu lost me08:47
forcefullwell, as I understand, I should disable the present windows setting (like you said above) and then afterwards restart plasma?08:47
weedmici meant that some changes to setting require you to logout and log backin for the kde to reset - or one could just do that command08:48
forcefullahh kk so I understood you correct08:48
forcefullbrb (damn wayland shell)08:48
weedmicoic, by windows setting you meant desktopeffect - sorry my english for these terms is pretty limited08:48
weedmicand is basically calling everything "a number"08:48
weedmicI am not using wayland,08:49
forcefullweedmic: nope :S doesn't help08:50
weedmic"inxi -Gxx | grep compositor"  compositor: kwin_x11 driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa08:50
forcefullweedmic: command inxi not found ;)08:50
forcefullbut I can definitely say I am on wayland08:51
weedmicsorry, no other ideas. I have mine at center, and opened 5 windows and they are on top of eachother - even with that checked.08:51
weedmicyou can check with "inxi -Gxx | grep compositor"08:51
forcefullinteresting. as this also happens to me with the normal plasma version which kubuntu ships08:51
forcefullweedmic: inxi is not installed, but grepping the plasma process, it says it's plasma08:52
forcefullwayland not plasma08:52
forcefullmaybe it is wayland :S08:52
forcefullbut need that, as I need fractional scaling08:52
weedmicas long as it works :)08:52
forcefullwell it doesn't :P08:53
weedmicto me wayland is a compositor, like x or kwin08:53
weedmicit does, just you have not found the ?minutiae" you need - it exists08:53
forcefullyeah, I was only saying that maybe because I am on wayland, the centered thing doesn't work.08:53
forcefullI will still look around :)08:54
weedmicI have doubts that is possible.08:54
weedmicme too08:54
forcefulloh last question. can I change somewhere what happens when I lock the screen and/or close the lid?08:55
forcefullnothing under display or power management08:55
forcefulloh lol08:56
forcefullI am blind08:56
weedmicI have done mega changes under appearance, you may find the setting there (but may very well not find it).08:56
weedmicyes, but u found it.  i have my set to do nothing and have the display set to monitors 2 & 3 (at work), at home no comptuers close08:56
forcefullweedmic: thank you for the help :). need to go offline.08:57
weedmicenjoy rl08:57
forcefullweedmic: my problem is when my screen turns off, my laptop crashes08:57
forcefullhellp dell :(08:57
weedmicthey just released a firware update for that, installed it 2 days ago.08:57
forcefull(they even sold the laptop with ubuntu)08:57
forcefullweedmic: doubt that, as my laptop is 5-6 years old. and even on windows the laptop crashes when it goes to sleep08:58
weedmicalthough it didn't affect me personally.  "Latitude_5430_1.13.1.exe"08:58
weedmiccheck for updates, if there are any firmware ones, it will tell you.  then read fwupdmgr to find out how to install it.08:59
forcefulldamn I have a latitude 549008:59
weedmicman:fwupdmgr08:59
forcefullweedmic: fwupdmgr tells me no update. so maybe it will still get released08:59
weedmicbest of luck - they are playing lunch time over th espeakers08:59
forcefulllet's hope. the crazy part to me is that only with kernel 6.0-6.2 got the laptop usable on linux :(09:00
forcefullso now heading off :) hf :D09:00

user|59Hello. Kubuntu stacks on login screen when password is expiried.09:22
user|59it's just doesn't show new password fields after password enter09:22
user|59I know how to change it another way, but I need it work in gui09:22
user|59The same problem in 22 and 20 kubuntu, but still can't find any answer in internet09:22
weedmicuser|59: do you know the credentials of any "sudo group" member?09:24
user|59user|59: I know, But I wana make it work via GUI10:16
user|59I want change expired password via GUI10:16
weedmicuser|59: if you have the credentials to any sudo user, you can drop to init3. reset the password for the user who cannot get in, and return to init 5 (or 7 where the gui login is) and type in the new password you just assigned.10:37
weedmicif you don't know any valid credentials, it only gets more difficult.10:37
user|59Ok I have sudo user credentials. But how make work this GUI options, so will appear fields for new password?11:09
weedmicuser|59:  if you have the credentials to any sudo user, you can drop to init3. reset the password for the user who cannot get in, and return to init 5 (or 7 where the gui login is) and type in the new password you just assigned.11:13
skramerI seem to have an issue with one of my laptops running 22.04 recently. It boots up & I can log into Plasma. I am even able to type the pass for NetworkManager. But after that, nothing happens anymore.11:19
skramerIn Personal Folderr, only the Pictures subfolder has it's icon. Rest of them is just standard blue. Also noticed that the volume control is crossed out.11:21
user|59weedmic : So, after it, next time when password expired, will expired password chaninging fine, and will GUI show me fields for new password?11:22
skramerWhat could be the reason for this issue? ...btw. SSH into the console works perfectly fine. I could do updates from there, starting a VirtualBox from console also works & I could connect to that VM via both, SSH and RDP11:23
weedmicmy english is not powerful enough to get your meaning user|59.  What do you think is the difference between the "user password" and this "gui password"?  how can they not be the same?  is the gui perhaps the password on some external device - like a cloud server or something?11:24
user|59do you speak russian?11:25
user|59my english not so good too.11:26
user|59To change password is not a problem.11:26
weedmicpo moemy, lucho zdesx razgovorovatx po-angliski11:26
user|59I wana fix this GUI bug11:26
user|59I wana see this fileds for new password11:26
weedmicperhaps, once you can login, you can make those changes.11:27
weedmicIf I understood him in private chat correctly, the real issue for user|59 is that things are working, but... what he wants is when a user's password is to expire or has expired, he should be prompted at login to set a new password.  I think it is KDE sddm, but I cannot tell.  He has two pics he can post.11:44

user|14Hello what are the system requirements for this os18:51
mparilloIt might be a bit lighter than Ubuntu, but keep in mind that these are the MINIMUM requirements. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements First thing I would do is get an SSD, second would be to double the RAM from 4 to 8 GB.20:10
