[04:05] <goddard> is there some kind of kdesu?
[04:23] <krytarik> goddard: Yes, 'kdesu'.. :P
[04:35] <goddard> krytarik: kdesu didn't work for me

[09:05] <linuxuser_19> how to increase volume over 100% in kubuntu 16.04. even in alsamixer it is on maximum
[09:12] <yossarianuk> linuxuser_19: install kmix
[09:12] <yossarianuk> then select overdrive
[10:43] <yossarianuk> hi - anyone know how to cancel samba authenication via dolphin ( i.e for access windows shares) - I want to login as another user
[10:44] <hateball> yossarianuk: access the share as smb://user@share ?
[10:47] <yossarianuk> hateball
[10:47] <yossarianuk> hateball: Yes that is how i'm accessing it - however to access the share I need to input my username/pass
[10:47] <yossarianuk> and dolphin remember the logn
[10:48] <yossarianuk> I want dolphin to forget the login so I have to login as a different user
[10:48] <hateball> oh so you want to access the same share, but as a different user
[10:48] <yossarianuk> yes - really I want a way so that the samaba auth is forgotten
[10:49] <hateball> yossarianuk: go into your kwallet, it should be under Passwords
[10:49] <hateball> should have an entry for the share, with the login data
[10:50] <yossarianuk> cheers hateball: but I haven't saved the password
[10:50] <hateball> hmm
[10:51] <yossarianuk> Do
[10:51] <yossarianuk> (sorry)
[10:51] <yossarianuk> i.e when I acess the share  it prompts for a password - and remembers the auth for a time.
[10:51] <yossarianuk> I want to be able to cancel the auth in order to test another login
[10:52] <hateball> I understand
[10:52] <yossarianuk> i.e the equivalent of sudo -K
[10:52] <hateball> I've no idea what process might handle that, hmmm
[10:53] <hateball> as I either go with my default set credentials, or I enter what I need and save...
[10:53] <yossarianuk> cheers anyway !
[10:53] <yossarianuk> I may ask in #kde ...
[11:04] <shellshock> hello
[11:04] <shellshock> what is this stuff?
[11:05] <shellshock> where am i?
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:25] <linuxuser_19> how to get kgpg to work with dolphin??
[11:29] <linuxuser_19> so my question is: no dolphin-integration of kgpg?
[11:29] <hateball> !patience
[11:30] <linuxuser_19> sorry :-)
[11:30] <YankDownUnder> linuxuser_19: Have you actually tried to Google on this topic? Just wondering...
[11:32] <linuxuser_19> yes... used google-fu
[11:32] <linuxuser_19> but not really any good advice
[11:32] <YankDownUnder> linuxuser_19: If I knew, I'd tell...otherwise, someone shall eventually come along...patience is a virtue...
[11:55] <soul__> Hi guys. I just wanted to say here in public that yossarianuk is an amazing dude. Thank you for your help!
[12:30] <yossarianuk> soul__: cheers man - np !
[12:31] <yossarianuk> glad I could help
[12:55] <omarspider> heyy
[14:40] <abhishek> hi guys, I am usign kubuntu 16.04 on hp laptop. The functions keys require me to press Fn, and other functions like brightness change work by default.
[14:40] <abhishek> how can I fix this?
[16:15] <goddard> anyone know why aide requires postfix?
[16:20] <Pici> goddard: it depends on bsd-mailx, which needs an mta installed.  Postfix is the default, but you can install another package that provides mail-transport-agent to override this.
[16:20] <Pici> goddard: lsb-invalid-mta is out there if you really don't want to use an actual mta: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/mail-transport-agent
[16:21] <Pici> or nullmailer, I'm not sure what the canonical fake mta to use is
[16:36] <goddard> Pici: cool thanks for the info
[16:37] <samuele> I have a bug in discover, how can I notify it to the kubuntu team so that this can be fixed?
[16:39] <samuele> For "discover" I mean the package manager named "Discover"
[16:46] <goddard> samuele: https://bugs.kde.org/
[16:50] <samuele> yes, I've done that but the answer was that in the next stable release this bug is fixed. But is not fixed in kubuntu, from what I see in my pc
[16:57] <goddard> you can just install the backports ppa which will fix it

[18:14] <BluesKaj> ?
[18:14] <qry> if i click on the key it disabled my bluetooth and thats it
[18:15] <qry> BluesKaj: yes already got the newest
[18:17] <qry> I can't even see my device in - Network Interface information
[18:19] <BluesKaj> qry,the newest isn't necessarily the correct driver , your BCM43228 requires the driver I mentioned.
[18:21] <qry> bcmwl-kernel-source is already the newest version (<IP_ADDRESS>+bdcom-0ubuntu8).
[18:23] <qry> BluesKaj: im open to suggestions
[18:29] <adlerman> Hello
[18:29] <BluesKaj> qry, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic , then udo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
[18:30] <BluesKaj> sudo of course , typo
[18:33] <qry> need to reboot or ?
[18:34] <BluesKaj> yes, disconnect your ethernet cable if it's connected , qry

[19:59] <R8431> Hello, I tried to use the pager on KDE but I have duplicated set of icons in my panel.
[20:00] <R8431> Which means that if I set for 4 desktop, I have 4X2 icons.
[20:00] <R8431> How to fix that to just have 4 icons with 4 desktops?
[20:00] <matt1> R8431: Remove one of the pager widgets?
[20:02] <R8431> Ok, that might do it. In fact, I didn't find it first so I added it but it seems it was already here so the duplicates.
[20:04] <R8431> Ok, I found how to do that, thank you matt1 even if it was a dumb question (as always).
[20:06] <matt1> R8431: np
[20:13] <R8431> Apart from that, how to change the calendar events? I have events from my country but I want to set Japanese events.
[20:14] <R8431> It's not calendar system option and Holidays do nothing.
[20:17] <R8431> Ok... found it. I don't understand why windows with Linux are not responsive.
[20:17] <R8431> A lot of stuff is hidden to the right.
[20:17] <R8431> It's not the first time.

[21:47] <lethu> Hello
[21:47] <lethu> I wanna upgrade my computer (CPU and Mobo), do I need to do anything extra else than upgrading and rebooting?
[21:50] <genii> lethu: So long as the CPU is the same kind, should not be an issue. Although if you are using proprietary video drivers, uninstall those before transplanting the drive
[21:51] <lethu> okay, thanks genii :)
[21:51] <genii> Glad to assist.
[21:51] <lethu> :)
[21:56] <MichaelP> 16.04.... installed startup disk creator .... open it up... another little window pops up.. says installing... 5 minutes goes by..and it does nothing
[21:57] <valorie> hmmm, worked for me last I tried it
[21:57] <valorie> sort of to my surprise, since it hasn't worked for over a year
[21:57] <valorie> and I didn't think we fixed it
[21:59] <mparillo> valorie: I heard similar complaints when unetbootin stopped working for me, people say avoid startup disk creator. So I use dd now.
[21:59] <MichaelP> http://imgur.com/tPoEYen
[22:00] <valorie> looks like you have plenty of room, too
[22:01] <valorie> that was an issue I had in the past -- if it thought it didn't have enough room, it would just stop with no error message
[22:02] <valorie> like a 2 GB drive with a 1.5 GB image -- not enough extra space, i guess
[22:02] <valorie> oops, gotta go
[22:02] <MichaelP> ohhh ok..... for gui suse imagewriter is good.... i was using that from AUR in arch
[22:04] <bprompt_> hmm
[22:05] <bprompt_> MichaelP:      try    usb-creator-gtk   <--- it's in the repositories, small, fast and reliable
[22:06] <MichaelP> i useing dd
[22:07] <samuele--__-->  I use gnome-disk
[22:07] <MichaelP> never new gnome had a disk creator
[22:08] <bprompt_> MichaelP:    well, kde used to have one, wasn't as good, they did have a usb-creator-kde.... back in 12.04 though
[22:10] <MichaelP> still is usb creator kde
[22:11] <bprompt_> MichaelP:     well, not in 16.04 repositories, but usb-creator-gtk works better either way, and that one is
[22:12] <MichaelP> i just wanna put 16.10 on thumb drive play around with it.... i did    sudo dd if=yakkety-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb
[22:12] <bprompt_> wait a second, it's there :/, what the dickens... anyhow.. I've used it in the past, I found usb-creator-gtk to be more reliable, even in 12.04 :)
[22:13] <MichaelP> that was the package i installed
[22:13] <MichaelP> thats how i new it was there
[22:13] <bprompt_> MichaelP:     difference being, with the usb-creator ones, you have an option to create a persistent storage, with "dd" you don't
[22:13] <bprompt_> well, depending on the iso of course
[22:15] <MichaelP> from looking at dd commands in arch wiki.... you can use dd for a 10001 things
[22:15] <bprompt_> yeap
[22:16] <MichaelP> it seems slower then the gui's
[22:16] <bprompt_> I've used it to nip out the MBR, which is just 512bytes, for backups
[22:17] <MichaelP> onlything i ever used it for was what i doig now.. usb image
[22:19] <MichaelP> Gave up on Arch for awhile because of buggy plasma 5.6
[22:21] <R8431> Are you forced to make your panel not hide automatically to be able to transfer a desktop widget on it?
[22:22] <R8431> Even when I transfered it on a vertical panel, there is still the vertical widget bar when you hover on it. But cut.
[22:23] <R8431> It seems pretty buggy and that the second time my desktop crash.
[22:23] <MichaelP> i could never get panel to hide in 5.6
[22:25] <R8431> How do you see your version without having to look at your package manager?
[22:25] <R8431> I think I have 5.84.
[22:27] <R8431> Another thing is in grid desktop, you are supposed to be able to add panel by clicking on green + when hovering a side but that do nothing.
[22:27] <R8431> Or is it something else?
[22:38] <R8431> Oh my god this desktop is so buggy.
[22:41] <MichaelP> R8431: what version 5.5 or 5.6
[22:42] <R8431> If you are asking my version then I said 5.84, maybe.
[22:44] <MichaelP> never hurd of 5.84... 5.5.5..... then 5.5.95 beta for 5.6.0... current is 5.6.4
[22:46] <R8431> Hmm... kde-workspace 4:4.11.13-2
[22:48] <R8431> Ok, I found an About KDE in Dolphin and it's 4.14.2.
[22:48] <R8431> It seems pretty outdated.
[22:48] <R8431> Weird because I just installed it last week...
[22:49] <R8431> I hope it's because of that it's all buggy.
[22:57] <R8431> Haha, Debian stable is stuck with KDE 4.14.0 and Plasma 4.11.13.
[22:58] <R8431> It's far from your 5.5, MichaelP!
[22:59] <R8431> Testing and unstable have Plasma 5.4.
[23:02] <R8431> KDE platform on testing is 4.14.10 but on unstable it's 5.13. What a gap.
[23:05] <bprompt_> well, it's unstable, so :)
[23:05] <goddard> anyone know how to enable volume to go over 100%
[23:06] <bprompt_> goddard:    hmm what for? :)
[23:07] <R8431> Yeah but you expect such big application like KDE to be updated on a faster pacing.
[23:08] <R8431> And not have testing stuck 1 whole version back.
[23:09] <bprompt_> R8431:    well, kde is not an app per se, is a framework, so I'd think maybe some considerations between the versions
[23:10] <goddard> bprompt_: because the default settings are wrong
[23:11] <MichaelP> Checking out daily build of 16.10... It is 16.04 after dist-upgrade
[23:12] <bprompt_> goddard:    come again?
[23:16] <RiotingPacifist>  Systemd fails to suspend, is there anyway to get kde to run a custom script on lid close/suspend instead or is kde basically a prettier version of gnome?
[23:17] <valorie> huh?
[23:17] <valorie> KDE began before GNOME
[23:18] <valorie> RiotingPacifist: suspend is built-in
[23:18] <RiotingPacifist> and yet it still follows in gnomes footsteps of loosing customisability so i cant use pm-suspend instead
[23:18] <valorie> what version of Kubuntu are you running?
[23:18] <valorie> of course you can use pm-suspend if you prefer that
[23:19] <goddard> bprompt_: the settings are wrong
[23:19] <RiotingPacifist> valorie: 16.04
[23:19] <valorie> ah, I'm already on 16.10
[23:19] <RiotingPacifist> valorie: how, if i use kde there is no way tell it to use pm-suspend on lid close
[23:19] <bprompt_> goddard:    that means next to nothing here :/
[23:19] <valorie> however, my travel notebook is on 16.04 and suspend works well
[23:20] <valorie> close it, suspend, open it: no problems
[23:20] <valorie> RiotingPacifist: I see what you mean
[23:20] <valorie> why not just set it to suspend on lid close?
[23:20] <RiotingPacifist> valorie: i understand that it is a bug in systemd, but it's annoying that KDE used to be my DE because it let me reconfigure it, yet now it's no better than gnome in that regard
[23:20] <valorie> alt+space type suspend
[23:21] <RiotingPacifist> valorie: it wakes up a few seconds after on either of those
[23:21] <valorie> oooo, that's a bug for sure
[23:21] <genii> valorie:  My Aspire All-in-one on 16.04 goes to suspend and then never wakes up
[23:21] <valorie> genii: also a bug!
[23:21] <MichaelP> valorie: 16.10 seems pretty smooth
[23:21] <genii> ( right now I'm just powering it all the way off )
[23:21] <valorie> MichaelP: so far, so good here
[23:22] <MichaelP> seems like 16.04 after dist-upgrade
[23:22] <valorie> MichaelP: well, that's all it is so far
[23:22] <valorie> the toolchain is upgraded, etc.
[23:22] <valorie> but otherwise, pretty much the same this early in the cycle
[23:23] <MichaelP> Yeah... hope by release date... they don't use plasma 5.6... hope it be 5.7
[23:26] <MichaelP> valorie: you use ext4... btrfs or what ?
[23:26] <valorie> ext4 I think
[23:26] <valorie> I never mess with that stuff
[23:27] <valorie> I've heard too many friends ooh and ahhh over btrfs then cry when it wrecks their system
[23:28] <MichaelP> ok... was just wondering how btrfs was in kubuntu
[23:28] <valorie> !btrfs
[23:28] <valorie> heh
[23:28] <valorie> !zfs
[23:29] <RiotingPacifist> btrfs is good enough for day to day use, been using it for 3-5 years i forget how long, no problems and i do stress my FS
[23:29] <MichaelP> i had btrfs running on arch... then kernel 5.6... btrfs screwed up
[23:30] <RiotingPacifist> MichaelP: I knew Arch was fast but 5.6 isn't put for atleast 21 months
[23:32] <RiotingPacifist> also even just setting up pre-linking on arch messed everything up, are you sure it was btrfs? I managed to break NILFS but it took a fairly obscure setup and is much less mature than btrfs
[23:32] <MichaelP> RiotingPacifist: i ment 4.5.6
[23:33] <MichaelP> 4.6.1
[23:35] <goddard> bprompt_: it means a lot
[23:35] <RiotingPacifist> MichaelP: are you sure it was a kernel bug?  I dont mean to rip on Arch but I run the latest released kernel and haven't had any isues (althought I have moved away from using obscure filesystems like nilfs)
[23:36] <bprompt_> goddard:     I meant, is not specific enough, anymore than "is broken" or "does not work"
[23:36] <valorie> could y'all move this conversation to #kubuntu-offtopic?
[23:36] <valorie> please
[23:36] <MichaelP> RiotingPacifist: i think it was just a btrfs thing
[23:36] <MichaelP> ok
[23:37] <RiotingPacifist> surely the maturity of btrfs on kubuntu is on topic?
[23:40] <goddard> bprompt_: it is very specific
[23:40] <goddard> bprompt_: HOW CAN YOU ENABLE THE ABILITY TO TURN VOLUME PAST 100%
[23:41] <RiotingPacifist> goddard: use pulse audio volume controller?
[23:41] <MichaelP> 16.10 installer crashed at configuring time zones
[23:41] <RiotingPacifist> goddard: or do you want a qt solution, i dont thingk veromix or kmix work
[23:42] <valorie> RiotingPacifist: on kubuntu, sure!
[23:54] <MichaelP> goddard: plugin to a home stereo ... then you have more volume
[23:56] <goddard> MichaelTunnell: the default setting that KDE is setting is to low
[23:57] <goddard> i can increase it using pavucontrol but that requires GTK libs
