[00:02] <user|97432> Hello

[02:19] <bigfluff> It's been so long since I've used a KDE-based distro, but Gnome is starting to wear on me some
[02:19] <bigfluff> Thinking about giving the new Kubuntu release a shot
[02:20] <bigfluff> How receptive has this community been towards the latest LTS?
[02:59] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> I can no longer scan with Skanlite (or other) in 20.04 from a HP printer. Is there updated firmware I need to get from somewhere?
[03:14] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> @Anarchotaoist, Did you try installing hplip?
[03:17] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> Yes, it is already installed. Scanning worked in 19.10 but no working in 20.04.
[03:31] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> When launching the scanning sw, do you have "multiple" detected scanners to select? The one all in one HP printer/scanner I seen in 20.04 required such a selection. Only the very bottom option worked.
[03:41] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> Yes, I tried all options, both wifi and USB. USB throws up an error for i/o connection. The network options allow a pre-san but then fail on the actual scan. This is happening on both my laptop and desktop!
[03:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> I found this bug and it is suppose to be fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1876205
[03:42] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1876205 in HPLIP "I cannot install HPLIP on any flavor of Ubuntu 20.04" [Undecided,Fix released]
[03:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> yes!
[03:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> Perhaps not fixed for the QT version yet??
[03:46] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> HP just released a new hplip dirver, but I have not tried it, have you? https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
[03:46] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> No - "Note that all GUI utilities are based on the Qt GUI environment. There are currently no equivalent utilities based on GTK+."
[03:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> @DarinMiller, I'll have a look, thanks!
[04:10] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Did the new HP driver work?
[04:16] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> @DarinMiller, Hey Darin, thanks for the follow up. No, I am running the HP driver installer and get this:
[04:16] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> Please wait, this may take several minutes... … error: Package install command failed with error code 100
[04:16] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> error: Command failed. Re-try #3... … Running 'sudo apt-get install --assume-yes python-pyqt5'
[04:17] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> I installed python 3 and pyqt-5 but get the same error.
[04:26] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> hmm, perhaps it specifically requires python2? Can a system run both python 2 & 3 or should I uninstall python3 then install python2?
[04:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> I cannot seem to install the python-pyqt5 dependency with python 2!
[04:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Anarchotaoist> anarcho@Vampa:~$ sudo apt install python2 … Reading package lists... Done … Building dependency tree … Reading state information... Done … python2 is already the newest version (2.7.17-2ubuntu4). … python2 set to manually installed. … 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade. … anarcho@Vampa:~$ pip install python-pyqt5 … Command 'pip' not found, but there are 18 similar ones.

[08:32] <somekool> Thank you Kubuntu
[09:02] <suprit> Hey, Linux noob here, wanted to ask whether there's an easy way to remap keyboard keys, preferably with a GUI
[09:03] <suprit> To be more specific, I want to map the left ctrl key to fullstop
[09:03] <suprit> right ctrl, my bad
[09:30] <mparillo> There are standard, global, and custom shortcuts available in System Settings.

[10:29] <rawb> Any experience using kwin_lowlatency or kwinft on kubuntu? Is there any significant benifit using it?
[10:33] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:34] <masonbee-M> Afternoon
[10:38] <IrcsomeBot> dv_mart was added by: dv_mart
[10:40] <troozers> Morning all, quick question; just updated my ubuntu and it pulled down a kernel update (5.4.0-31) and now when i boot it doesn't load the snd_hda_intel driver - so I have no audio
[10:41] <troozers> Have rebooted into the older kernel and that works, just seems to be an issue with 5.4.0-31
[10:41] <troozers> Is there anything I can do to try and force it to load the driver?
[10:56] <BluesKaj> troozers, check alsamixer and make sure the automute is diabled , and run sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel just to make sure the driver loads properly, there will be no output from the command if it loads.
[11:03] <troozers> not muted, as it doesn't even list the card. Ran modprobe but it doesn't seem to have enabled the card
[11:04] <troozers> inxi -SMA provides the following; https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NYbQTTRV28/
[11:05] <troozers> Previous kernel would show "snd_hda_intel" next to Device-1 instead of "N/A"
[11:12] <BluesKaj> after running modprobe you might have to reboot
[11:13] <troozers> ok, will try now
[11:16] <troozers> Unfortunately same situation, doesn't seem to want to load up the snd-hda-intel driver onto Device-1
[11:18] <BluesKaj> t6o run this to see what's loaded lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[11:18] <BluesKaj> troozers,^
[11:19] <BluesKaj> if anything
[11:19] <troozers> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q3FXmGQYT6/
[11:23] <troozers> This is the same output but done under the previous kernel; https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D3NhQCwGBG/
[11:25] <troozers> Difference seems to be in "kernel driver in use" and the fact that it hasn't identified it as a Audio Device
[11:25] <troozers> well it has, but it puts "00:1f.3" at the beginning
[11:27] <BluesKaj> ok, try this, open /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf add this line to the bottom of the file, options snd-hda-intel index=0, then save the file. it should solifify the driver usage to the intel
[11:28] <troozers> Done, will reboot
[11:32] <troozers> Same thing I'm afraid
[11:33] <troozers> snd_hda_intel seems to bind to the NVIDIA HDMI Audio device, but not the Intel 200 Series Audio device
[11:35] <BluesKaj> since you also have a nvidia gpu the default audio can get confused by the hdmi or dp connection. I had to muck about with using the media players audo settings to use the correct HW, aslo make sure your pavucontrol volume is at least 80%
[11:36] <troozers> Is there a way to disable the GPU audio device?
[11:37] <BluesKaj> not advisable, best to choose the audio device in the media player , usually once that is set and working you're back in business
[11:38] <IrcsomeBot> <Alexblabber> @Reni3_, Boot
[11:38] <troozers> unfortunately none of the media devices show the intel audio device to set volume or default - it's just missing
[11:39] <BluesKaj> which media player do you use ?
[11:40] <troozers> VLC, Elisa, and Firefox for youtube
[11:41] <troozers> Nothing shows the Intel device, just the HDMI Audio
[11:45] <troozers> I shall revert back to the previous kernel and hope that a fix comes out soon
[11:45] <BluesKaj> is pulseaudio listed?
[11:46] <troozers> Pulseaudio Volume Control is
[11:46] <troozers> Output devices within there only shows the HDMI Audio Controller
[11:47] <BluesKaj> troozers, no need to revert your kernel, this may help, https://askubuntu.com/questions/78780/how-can-i-disable-an-audio-hdmi-device
[11:56] <troozers> OK, tried that and it removed the HDMI device and replaced it with a "Dummy Audio"
[11:56] <troozers> rebooted and intel device still not seen. Have rebooted and chose 5.4.0-29 kernel and all works OK
[12:01] <BluesKaj> well, if you're happy with that but reverting to an older kernel should be temporary at best...I know there's a fix, but it's been a while since I saw it last so I've forgotten.
=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
[12:42] <troozers> yeah, it's temporary whilst I investigate options and see what happens with later updates
[13:27] <emlj> Buen día, tengo una inquietud, esta es mi distribución favorita, tengo solo un problema con la aplicación de Spotify, al inicio funciona bien pero de un momento a otro queda congelado aunque sigue sonando, me toca cerrarlo y voverlo a abrir, como puedo solucionar este error? gracias

[13:30] <emlj> Tuve Ubuntu pero ahí no tenía inconvenientes, sólo ha sido en Kubuntu
[13:33] <troozers> Hi all, I have a device that only seems to be blacklisted when using a specific kernel. If I use the latest ubuntu kernel, dmesg shows me "snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Skipping the blacklisted device"
[13:34] <troozers> This isn't listed within any configs in /etc/modprobe.d
[13:34] <troozers> and it doesn't happen when I load a previous kernel
[13:34] <troozers> It's also not blacklisted in the GRUB (/etc/default/grub) as far as I can see
[13:35] <troozers> is there any other places i should look?

[17:42] <tiox> I have a piece of software I am trying to use in Ubuntu 20.04 which doesn't declare Qt4 as a dependency but says that it will not open because libQtGui.so.4 is missing. Is there a way I can add in a equivalent to Qt4 without having to rip out Qt5?
[17:48] <oerheks> tiox in a VM perhaps? old 16.04 i think?
[18:14] <genii> libqtgui4 seems to still have been available in Eoan also. You could do something semi-tricky like unpack the Eoan libqtgui4 deb file into someplace like /home/your-username/Qt4stuff ...and then add that path to your PATH
[18:19] <genii> ( or pass apt an option changing the: Dir "/" to somewhere like that, add Eoan repos as if a PPA in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qt4-repo-names.list)
[18:19] <genii> ...a few different tactics

[19:16] <IrcsomeBot> <demigod009> Hey, I recently installed kubuntu 20 LTS, I'm unable to install Firefox Developer's Edition and also Google Chrome kept crashing. could you please suggest a fix?
[19:23] <oerheks> for chrome, remove ~/.config/google-chrome and restart browser
[19:23] <oerheks> FF dev edition??
[19:24] <oerheks> all i know is the snap version, beta https://snapcraft.io/firefox
[19:28] <IrcsomeBot> <demigod009> @oerheks, Yeah, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
[19:29] <IrcsomeBot> <demigod009> @oerheks, Could you please explain in detail?
[19:30] <oerheks> if you click your url, you get a FF 77 bzr, snap v 77 is much easier, and get updated
[19:31] <IrcsomeBot> <demigod009> Okay
