User1: Ok so my surface pro 2 is running kubuntu just fine now after updating the kernel
User1: Seems that kernel 4.2 was the cause of my wifi crashing the whole system
User1: Only issue now is kubuntu thinks it can send audio over my mini display port and is using that as the defualt sound output source when I don't want that to be my default sound output source
User1: Is there any way to change that and remove the hdmi output entirely?
User1: For reference im using photon gstreamer
User1: Wait NVM I fixed it
User2: Hey... :)
User2: Can anyone help me with fixing a problem in Kubuntu 14.04 LTS?
User3: Hello
User2: Hey :)
User3: I search a task manager for Plasma
User3: User2 expose your problem, perhaps I can help you
User2: Okay flown. Problem is the "Shutdown" Command in the Terminal. When I execute that my Notebook doesnt shut down. It stop on the Kubuntu logo
User2: floown look here http://www.ubuntufree.com/download-ubuntu-15-04-flavors-kubuntu-lubuntu-ubuntu-mate-and-more/xubuntu-task-manager/
User3: User2 sorry, I wanted to say : (for add several work tasks, to create a bill for my clients)
User2: Ahhh okay.
User3: for example, calculate the time I have pass to create a illustration in Gimp
User2: floown maybe this: http://nitrotasks.com/#
User3: User2 cool, thx
User2: I`m glad if this helps :)
User2: Already found something for my problem as well. :)
User3: User2 to shutdown a PC, you must use sudo shutdown now
User3: sudo reboot now       to reboot
User2: Yeah I know floown. The thing happened as I configured the shutdown for a specific time. Hours after I got up I found the Laptop with that Logo, still running.
User4: oy
User4: hmm
User4: I just use it on the web and my phone
User4: I think there is a desktop client though
User4: !info choqok
User5: choqok (source: choqok): KDE micro-blogging client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5-2ubuntu2 (wily), package size 1523 kB, installed size 6396 kB
User4: I've not tried it, but have heard good things
User6: first day of using kubuntu!
User4: nice, tater
User4: enjoying yourself?
User6: just moved from ubuntu due to the speed issues, valorie
User6: so far working super fast
User6: i am curious if kubuntu has the spyware that ubuntu is known for?
User4: no spyware
User4: no scopes
User6: ok great
User4: well, some people characterized the shopping scope that way
User4: dunno, I never liked or used Unity
User4: I like gnome people, but not the desktop
User6: just watched a youtube video about stallman talking about it
User6: while ubuntu does make money from amazon for it; i am not sure if i like canoncial selling my searching info to amazon
User6: and other companies
User4: of course it can be turned off
User4: or not used
User6: yeah with a simple command line for sure
User6: stallman failed to mention that :)
User4: well, stallman is rather generally unhappy with Ubuntu IMO
User6: i sure do like the GUI eye candy
User7: Is there a mouse setting that causes a "halo" around the pointer when over light backgrounds?
User7: I'm trying to figure out if I turned on somethign weird or if I have a really weird monitor problem.
User4: User6 me too
User4: hmmm
User4: I've never heard of that, Krampus
User7: User4 it's a skylake NUC.  Maybe just a not quite supported chipset.  I'm in the process of jumping to xenial.
User4: User7 I'm running xenial now, and am loving it
User6: ah xenial is the beta?
User6: for 16
User6: how is it different from 15 valorie?
User4: yes
User4: newer plasma
User4: although we don't have 5.6 yet
User4: that will have to wait for backport, as it was released too late, while xenial was frozen
User6: is there a way to see what version of kubuntu i am running on my machine?
User6: i tried uname - r but it just says 3.190-56 generic
User7: User4 my sound doesn't want to work at the moment either.  Hopefully this'll fix that as well.
User4: sound is a complicated problem, sometimes
User4: right
User4: no
User4: we were getting the LTS finished
User4: 15.10 is only supported for about 3 more months
User4: I doubt backports will be done
User4: we don't have the hours necessary to do everything needful right now
User6: how many people code for kubuntu?
User6: i am looking at the screenshot for kubuntu it looks like this - http://distrowatch.com/images/cgfjoewdlbc/kubuntu.png - is this a special theme? i ask because my default theme is not matching this?
User4: that is the standard desktop for 15.10, yes
User4: Plasma 5, yes
User4: kde is our community
User6: how can i tell what version of kde i have?
User6: kubuntu 14.04 kdelibs  4.13.3
User4: or plasmashell --version
User6: so i am running old version of kde?
User4: yes, you have the LTS
User4: you'll be able to upgrade to the new LTS in a few months
User4: current regular version is 15.10 now
User4: 16.04 comes out later this month
User4: !release
User5: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months (non-LTS) or 5 years (LTS). More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
User6: oh ok so lts is using old version of kde
User6: but lts catches up to it this month
User4: right
User4: lts is all about stability
User6: ah ok cool
User6: that UX is very sexy looking
User4: I love it
User6: to get the plasma 5 / kde 5 would i have to burn a new iso or can i upgrade while inside my lts version?
User4: upgrade will be available at the 16.04.1 release
User4: a couple of months after the main release
User4: but of course you can always get a current ISO
User6: ok makes sense. if i wanted to write a widget for kde would i need to write it in python?
User4: yes, upgrade works well
User4: I upgraded this laptop to the beta, no issues
User4: kde-look, I guess
User8: tried the backports update for 15.10.  both my monitors go blank or were not detected on login screen
User8: lots of bugs.  no sweat
User4: pff
User9: 16.04 can not running creative sound blaster zx ( ca0132 )
User4: !sound
User5: If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
User4: I wonder if you lack the proper driver, isl_
User4: did you check the driver manager?
User4: alt+space and type driver
User10: Good mroning.
User10: Well, it being a fork of Amarok, that is sort of to be expected ;)
User11: Hiyas all
User12: Hiyas mr. Blues.
User12: 16.04 seems the best experience since 14.10 for me.
User11: hi jonathan_zz , and it's getting better all the time
User13: good, really fed up with 15:10. 21st April can't come fast enough
User13: I find 15.10 way more buggy than 15.04
User11: 15.10 is hopeless in my experience
User12: I just skipped the entire 15 thing.
User12: Went to OpenSUSE in between lol.
User12: they still ran kde 4 in 13.2.
User12: then their background got me pulling my hair.
User12: didn't know how to get rid of it, it was everywhere.
User13: running antergos on my laptop. Got to say plasma 5.6.1 is beautiful
User12: it was in the boot loader, initird, desktop, screensaver, login-prompt, everywhere.
User11: yeah I went with fedors 23 for a short time , but it's media options are very restricted
User11: fedora even
User12: that green scale weird gekko background.
User12: gecko
User12: it drove me insane lol.
User11: anyway the OT cops will be here soon reminding us to stay ontopic
User12: :)
User12: I like that haha.
User12: The way you say it.
User12: If the channel wasn't logged nobody would care probably.
User12: The moment you create a history of something you want it to be neat.
User11: well, we can continue in #kubuntu-offtopic
User12: I feel like going offtopic now.
User12: !offtopic
User5: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
User12: hahaha
User14: Hello, all. I've installed Plasma 5.5.4 from the Ubuntu backports, but, after I did that, I've got no audio.
User14: No audio devices are detected. I think something may have gone misconfigured in the update, but how can I find out what it was?
User14: I'm running Kubuntu 15.10
User14: The only audio output showing in KMix is "Fake output"
User14: Actually, it's "Dummy output" (I think. In reality, it's "SaÃ­da fictÃ­cia", since my system is pt_br, so I'm not sure what's the original string in english for that)
User15: hmm this was known, there was sme workaroudn
User15: User11 ^ do you remember this one ?
User11: r_rios, what does aplay -l  show? need to know your audio chip
User15: some fix was to add user to audio group i think
User14: User11 https://gist.github.com/romariorios/e90b9fba0e78de71e4db1310a743ec48
User14: I found this: https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/ubuntu-13-10-missing-audio-fix-no-sound-only-device-is-dummy-output/
User14: Could it help?
User14: I did what the article said and I'm restarting now
User14: No good. It didn't work
User14: User11 Here's how my audio cards show up: http://wstaw.org/m/2016/04/03/ransom1.jpeg
User11: yea soee,  r_rios, this the command to add yourself to the audio group, sudo adduser your_user_name audio
User11: r_rios, also make sure in alsamixer that automute is disabled
User11: r_rios, then for safety's sake run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, then reboot
User14: Okay, rebooting
User14: User11 It worked :D
User14: Thanks
User11: r_rios, you're welcome, thank soee_ for the add user suggestion as well, these are known peoblems
User11: problems even
User16: hey i made a  SONG  you can listen to it on Soundclound. Let me know if you like it! https://soundcloud.com/danielassayag/love-in-tahita
User17: I am new to kde and have just started using kubuntu
User17: how does upgrading to new kubuntu version affect my kde?
User17: does upgrading kubuntu automatically upgrade kde as well?
User18: yes. It will update to the version of KDE present in the repositories of the Kubuntu version you are upgrading to
User17: User18 what the version I am upgrading from has a kde version greater than that is already in the repos in kubuntu?
User17: *what if
User18: it would interesting to know how apt or dpkg commands deal with that situation
User18: does the current Kubuntu version has some kind of "backport" repositories enabled?
User18: what's the current kubuntu version?
User17: 15.10
User17: I am new to kubuntu and kde. Thus, asked
User17: Say I using kubuntu 15.10 and neon and install kde 5.6. Now I upgrade to kubuntu 16.04 which doesn't support kde 5.6
User18: are you using this http://neon.kde.org/ ?
User18: I'm also using Kubuntu 15.10 (no neon) and I see it uses Kde Frameworks 5.15.0
User18: and I see the next Kubuntu 16.04 will use version 5.18.0
User18: and it seems to me both are newer than version 5.6.0
User18: that's that I interpret after seeing http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=wily&searchon=names&keywords=kded5 and http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kded5&searchon=names&suite=xenial&section=all
User17: User18 I didn't understand how is 5.18 newer than 5.6
User17: Yes I asking with respect to kde neon. :)
User18: try to update the local metadata of the repositories in your computer. For example with 'sudo aptitude update'
User18: and then try to update the packages you have installed. For example with 'sudo aptitude upgrade'
User18: After that, check again with version is left installed
User19: User17 5.6 -> 5.06 ;-)
User17: that's weird naming!!
User17: 5.60 and 5.6 are different ?
User18: I don't know if there is a 5.60 version of KDE, however I suppose a 5.6 version is different from a 5.60 version of any software given
User13: 5.6.1 is the latest
User19: User17 what would you do? have a 5.006 version just in case? :-D

User5: User20 Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com/ http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ or http://www.kubuntuforums.net/ while you wait.
User17: which version kde version is kubuntu shipped with?
User19: User17 do you have kubuntu already installed?
User17: yeah
User19: apt show <name-of-the-package>
User17: Sry, for not mentioning before. I wanted to know for kubuntu 16.04
User17: Consider I have kde-neon installed on 15.10. How should I upgrade to 16.04 without breaking anything?
User11: abhishek, upgrading to the next OS usually disables any ppas by default
User11: abhishek, but just to make sure you coud comment them with # in front of the deb line in your /etc/apt/sources.list or uncheck them in your package manager sources.
User20: can any one help me with my  NetGear, Inc. WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N [Marvell TopDog]

User21: Hi!   I have a strange problem with the login on Kubuntu 15.10.   My laptop turned off due to a discharged battery in standby mode. When I turned it on appeared problems. When a window appears enter password there are two ways that can happen. If I enter the password within a few seconds of the window appearing I get to the tty console with a request to enter a username and password.  If I don't put in a password, then for a split seco
User21: If I don't put in a password, then for a split second appears on the console (I don't have time to read anything), and then again with the login box. Now if I enter my password, I successfully log in, but I cannot turn on/off network interfaces and switching between tty (if you press ctrl + alt + f1..f7, nothing happens).
User21: If now I will terminate the session KDE and login again, network interfaces and tty work well, but if I close my laptop's and open it again, the password dialog will not be displayed.
User21: What could be the problem and where to look?   Thanks in advance!
User6: whats up. does anyone have any alternatives to jing for kubuntu - gist of jing is it records videos of your desktop and uploads it to cloud + provides shareable url for free
User6: (and loving that kubuntu comes with K torrent out of the box)
User22: User6 OBS can record your desktop, your games, but can also stream to Twitch and some other streaming services. https://obsproject.com/download#linux
User6: thanks Fritigern i will check it out now
User6: i am getting a notification that a system update is available, and i get the notification on the bottom panel. i am used to clicking that message to open up the application to run the update - is that not possible in kubuntu?
User11: tater, just run , sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the konsole/terminal
User23: i just swapped over from an ATI card to GTX 960 using nvidia-352-updates. when i try to use a lower resolution than 1920x1080, the screen does not stretch/scale. i am not seeing any option for this in the nvidia software and only finding related stuff on this issue from years ago (google). am i crazy, doing something wrong, or just not supported?
User6: BluesKaj - a yeah duh thanks for reminding me
User6: seems in firefox i have selected 'remember to open file using XX every time i download a file of that type' and it never remembers. is that a bug with firefox itself
User6: ?
User24: anyone know if it's possible to assign kubuntu's default mail app to a chromium-browser --app?
User24: i just tried assigning it to the .desktop file, and that didn't work.
User6: tux|dude interesting. it's lasting about 2 hours on my dell laptop
User6: is that a tablet or a laptop?
User24: hrmâ¦ this shouldn't be happening. at all. https://gist.github.com/igalic/da6f42da422aa673dda121181598887b
User6: ah i5 core that should hum
User23: anyone around that uses nvidia 9xx gpu?
User6: i love how kubuntu shows the national event name for each day in the time window from bottom panel. does that stay in the upcoming lts?
