User1: so does anyone have working KOrganizer reminders with Kubuntu 19.04?
User2: Can someone help me out with something?
User3: <DarinMiller> maybe
User2: Right, I'm having an issue whenever my xps 13 (running 19.04) wakes from a suspend. The screen brightness sets itself to 100%.
User3: <DarinMiller> In system settings under Power Management, do you have the Screen Brightness set for AC/Battery?
User2: No I have those unchecked
User2: If I check them and switch states like from battery to ac it'll apply a change.
User3: <DarinMiller> Yes. GIve those a try.  They have not always worked on my laptop in older releases but its worth a shot....
User2: I just set the flag "acpi_backlight=vendor" which seems to have fixed it?
User3: <DarinMiller> I have seen that a solution for such issues, but on the few Dell laptop I have did not require that setting.
User2: I didn't need to do so in 18.04. odd
User2: Do you know of any downsides from passing the flag?
User3: <DarinMiller> No, I know of no downsides, but google knows a lot more than I do. :)
User4: i think it's fine, the flag just changes in which order the kernel looks for a backlight driver
User2: I tried doing a little research but it just lead me in circles. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
User3: <DarinMiller> No appologies needed!  That's the purpose of this forum.
User3: <DarinMiller> Glad you stopped by!

User3: <Anarchotaoist> @chealer, Reminders? The To-do-list works for me! ?
User6: user|53752: looks like cdn is being a pain. I'll try to flag it to people in the know. I would leave it and try again in a few hrs
User6: you can also try one of the mirrors listed on the alternate downloads link
User3: <bauchhaus> i added the boot-info summary to the post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1136515/ubuntu-installer-and-grub-dont-see-windows-installation
User5: baachhaus: You could use the Windows iso to fix the Windows boot: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO?irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541_aff_7593_159229&tduid=(ir__afccmy6rl0kfrgp30er6am96sn2xmpps62x1uzzx00)(7593)(159229)()(UUwpUdUnU50931)&irclickid=_afccmy6rl0kfrgp30er6am96sn2xmpps62x1uzzx00
User5: EEElton: Like tomreyn says, 16 reallocated sectors is a bad sign. The seek error rate explains why the drive appears slow. If during a seek an error occured the seek needs to be performed again, which takes more time.
User3: <purpleavenger> <acheronuk> user|53752: looks like cdn is being a pain. I'll try to flag it to people in the know. I would leave it and try again in a few hrs
User3: <purpleavenger> <acheronuk> you can also try one of the mirrors listed on the alternate downloads link
User3: <purpleavenger> was from about 1.5 hours ago
User3: <purpleavenger> so most likely already escalated, and alt links should still work
User3: <acheronuk> @purpleavenger, Only just now had a chance to ping sysadmin. It wasn't escalated, but is now, and rapidly fixed I think
User3: <purpleavenger> nice, thanks for the update!
User7: Howdy all
User8: hi! Does anybody know when/if Falkon 3.1.0 is coming to the Kubuntu repo?
User6: User8 which repo? PPA or archive?
User8: either! The flatpak does not work and the snap does not integrate to the DE well. A deb would be good!
User8: 19.04
User6: User8 lubuntu are paying closest attention, as they were wanting to use it for their default at one point
User6: User8 they have https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/falkon-daily/+packages

User12: hi, my issue is i have an external drive, maxtor one touch plus 750 gb it has been formated ext4 by a friend and it's recognized but if i rebbot it is not i have to unplug/replug the usb then its ok recognized and accesable what is the problem with boot? reboot does fine just not boot
User13: hmmm
User13: User12    weren't we at this junction already?   isn't that the HD that was collecting dust for about 7 years? and going south most likely now
User12: i'm pulling out the hair i have left trying to figure this out but unfortunatly i'm still a n00b where linux is concerned
User12: yes collecting dust, but it works find after boot then disconnecting and reconneciing the drive
User12: no issues with the reconnect
User12: so i dont think its going south
User13: User12    yes, we went over that, and one  of these days, you'll reconnect it and it won't power up anymore, and Kaput
User12: maybe so
User12: i just dont understand why it recognizes after reboot but not boot
User12: to me without being a linux major why?
User12: why would one recognize but not the other?
User13: User12   you're being pollyannaish, you seem to be thinking it's just going to improve the more you power it up, is the other way around, it simply goes worse
User12: ok thanks, sorry for the bother
User13: User12    you're just wishful thinking, which is not too bad, but hardware wise, you would want to know right away when it starts to go bad, that way you can salvage data or work on a replacement
User13: User12   and yes, it'll power up, several times, and sometimes it may not be recognized, replug and it'll show up struggling its way to be mounted, but that's just a sign of the HD not doing too well
User12: ok its all i have for now, so if it does in deed go south i'll look for a replacement
User12: thanks sorry to bother again
