[12:54] <IrcsomeBot> <mythio> :(
[13:01] <mparillo> Plasma 5.19 depends on a later Qt than shipped with the *buntus for 20.04. Qt is used for not just Kubuntu, but also for Lubuntu (LXQt) and lots of packages in the *buntu archives. The Kubuntu team cannot easily unilaterally upgrade Qt heedless of the possible impacts across the entire *buntu ecosystem.

[14:54] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> both KDE and Kubuntu are good channels for assistance.

[15:14] <ayush-M> i am tryring to install the kde and non-kde frameworks
[15:17] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> non-kde frameworks?  I would not recommend trying to mix 2 desktop environments unless you are an advanced user.  DE's tend to compete for resources with requires a bit time and know-how to untangle.
[15:18] <ayush-M> right now i have kubuntu installed on my computer (32bit)
[15:18] <ayush-M> plasma already installed
[15:19] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Kubuntu 18.04?
[15:19] <ayush-M> yeah
[15:19] <ayush-M> pls tell me how to setup my desktop environment for programmig
[15:22] <ayush-M> pls sir tell me
[15:22] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I recommend searching for guides that align with the languages intended for programming, i.e. https://medium.com/@chaudharypulkit93/my-coding-environment-setup-from-scratch-on-ubuntu-18-04-cedf30981042

[16:02] <krt8> Hi guys, does anyone knows if zfs root support is planned in Kubuntu 20.04 installer ?
[16:03] <ludste> hi, hab ein Problem mit Sound: wenn ich "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" kommt nichts raus - wenn ich das Ganze mit "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" kommt das Gewünschte raus - eine Stimme in dem Fall
[16:04] <RikMills> krt8: no, it is not. installer team only does new features like that for the GTK front end
[16:09] <krt8> RikMills So Iwill it be correct to assume that this feature might not ever be supported in Kubuntu ?

[16:15] <mmikowski> FWIW, we are working on the next generation Kubuntu Focus hardware. We are having some challenges with the usual suspects on Clevo hardware - sound is again not working, suspend - delete, etc.
[16:16] <mmikowski> er, suspend - resume.
[16:16] <mmikowski> So just working through the configs. Anybody want to help? :)
[16:16] <ayush-M> is there any minimum system requirement for installing kde
[16:17] <ayush-M> frameworks
[16:17] <BluesKaj> which audio HW does the Clevo use , mmikowski?
[16:19] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj let me double check. Intel HDA and Realtech are involved, but let me get the lspci output.
[16:19] <BluesKaj> ayush-M, https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-system-requirements
[16:20] <BluesKaj> yeah realtek is mostly intel hda
[16:21] <ayush-M> <BluesKaj "ayush, https://linuxconfig.org/u"> i have kubuntu 18.04 installed on my pc
[16:22] <ayush-M> but whenever i try to run kdesrc-build kio
[16:22] <mmikowski> Thanks @BluesKaj, I expect we'll get it sorted. An interesting not, touchpad was also not working on startup, but looks we got that sorted through the skel cnfigs.
[16:22] <BluesKaj> ayush-M, 18.04 and 20.04 basicallyhave the same requirements
[16:23] <ayush-M> Qt always shows a message
[16:23] <ayush-M> about license

[16:30] <ayush-M> what's version 5
[16:30] <ayush-M> ??
[16:31] <BluesKaj> plasmashell
[16:32] <BluesKaj> whynot just install kubuntu rather than compiling the DE, it's much simpler
[16:33] <mmikowski> Here is the audio @BluesKaj: 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH cAVS
[16:33] <BluesKaj> or kubuntu-destop and plasma-desktop if you migrating from a different desktop, ayush-M
[16:36] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj we will sort through the issues, but of course any help is much appreciated.
[16:38] <BluesKaj> mmikowski, so no audio at all ?
[16:39] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj Not yet. The prior settings we used in /etc/modprobe.d/kfocus-001.conf no longer work. Interestingly, everything appears to work from PA with correct devices etc, but nothing hits the ears yet.
[16:41] <BluesKaj> mmikowski, I'm quite sure that audio HW uses the snd_hda_intel driver like most..there's one thing that you might check in alsamixer and that's the automute, it's enabled by default, if so disable it
[16:42] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj is the first stop: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c.  If you don't know off hand, don't worry. Good point about automute - I was thinking along those lines because everything else appears as expected.
[16:42] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj I'll give it a try and report back.
[16:42] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:46] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj Disabled automute. However, didn't resolve. We didn't do this for the current model - the key was the /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modules-load.d configs.
[16:47] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj So we'll start there update HDA configs; the Comet Lake HDA settings should probably do the trick.
[16:49] <BluesKaj> mmikowski, there's an old intel audio bug in 'buntu that's never really been addresses t my knowledge and that's the audio driver fails to load on boot for some reason, so sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel and a reboot is usually needed, If the driver loads properly after the command there will be no output
[16:53] <mmikowski> Thanks @BluesKaj. Yeah, we are loading the module this in the https://kfocus.org model that's shipping. Here is the existing line:
[16:53] <mmikowski> @BluesKaj  options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1 probe_mask=1 model=clevo-950
[16:54] <mmikowski> So we will tweak the params (model=auto, model=basic, etc) until it works.  Comet Lake is probably the difference.  Hopefully just model=auto will do the trick.
[16:54] <mmikowski> Thanks @BluesKaj!
[16:57] <BluesKaj> mmikowski, aslo you couldadd this line at the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, 'options snd-hda-intel index=0' without the quotes o/c
[16:59] <BluesKaj> ok, I have a Dr's appointment (believe it or not) so i have to leave for a few hrs, but feel free to ask more questions if your issue remains, other are here to help as well

[21:31] <AntunceK> but when i type the command to run "setuppoker.exe" from a directory using terminal - it doesn't do anything
[21:32] <AntunceK> winetricks on the other hand doesn't allow me to select any other options except "select the default wineprefix"
[21:32] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> wine  <path to exe file>
[21:33] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> i.e. if you navigated to the directory: wine ./setuppoker.exe
[21:33] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> or launch via dolphin and it should auto start.
[21:34] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ensure wine is working by running: winecfg
[21:35] <oerheks> 1 bet it is not going to work
[21:35] <oerheks> https://www.google.com/search?q=winehq+bet365+poker
[21:36] <AntunceK> so its impossible to get it to work?
[21:36] <AntunceK> don't know why my friend thought im gonna like linux
[21:36] <oerheks> the people in #winehq can answer that
[21:36] <AntunceK> in winehq there is nobody
[21:37] <oerheks> see ubottu
[21:37] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> you could trying wine-staging.... but it would be a longshot: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
[21:38] <AntunceK> im on kubuntu, don't know if that makes any difference
[21:38] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> After installing staging, run the staging version using this command: /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine <path to exe>/my.exe
[21:39] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ubuntu = kubuntu from general application installs.
[21:39] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ubuntu = kubuntu = debian
[21:40] <AntunceK> darin can you attempt this
[21:41] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> wine-staging works great here.
[21:41] <oerheks> that bet365 poker too?
[21:42] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> clarification, I have not run bet365
[21:42] <AntunceK> yes but could you?
[21:43] <oerheks> i got this Q before in #ubuntu too.
[21:43] <oerheks> maybe a windows vm ..
[21:43] <AntunceK> i mean it wont take you more than a few minutes to test, rather than me testing for hours stabbing in the dark
[21:44] <AntunceK> i can't run virtualizations - either im going back to windows or get this software working, i can't believe i can run overwatch fine a full 3d game and have tons of support for it, and not this simple application
[21:45] <oerheks> it is betting software, not a game.
[21:46] <oerheks> good luck!
