[00:21] <soee_> hiho Guest96868
[02:35] <Doyle> Hi folks. 16.04 upgrade has left me without a theme, wallpaper, etc. Is this a known issue, and is there a fixit command you're recommending?
[02:36] <Doyle> system settings are missing a stack of icons for the items. Stuff like this.
[02:36] <Doyle> update && upgrade already attempted
[02:38] <Javabean> what did you upgrade from, Doyle
[02:38] <Doyle> What was before it? 15.10?
[02:38] <Doyle> I was up to date prior, including packages.
[02:39] <Javabean> which way did you do the upgrade? commandline or did you get an upgrade notification
[02:39] <Doyle> upgrade notification. Used the gui... regretting it now
[02:39] <Javabean> ok, that is as far as i can help... someone who knows will see it soon
[02:40] <Doyle> Ohh, I see things like: gnome-session[1458]: (unity-control-center:2300): unity-control-center-WARNING **: Could not load /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/index.theme: No such file or directory
[02:40] <Doyle> ... but this is kde
[02:40] <Doyle> kubuntu even...
[02:41] <Doyle> cmon upgrade scripts!
[02:41] <Doyle> brb'
[02:43] <Doyle> OK, I got it. After the upgrade in Kubuntu 15.10, your default DE in the login screen is gnome for some reason.
[02:43] <Doyle> I haven't used gnome in so long... it was scary. Specially since it's missing all of the expected elements.
[02:44] <Doyle> Gotta say, the new wallpaper is sick! GJ graphics guy, whoever you are.
[02:50] <tux|dude> We have any ETA on when 16.04 will be getting plasma 5.6 at all?
[02:51] <Doyle> Where can I find the shortcut settings for the dashboard?
[02:52] <Doyle> Oh. May  5 22:51:57 blackbox kernel: [ 1436.723369] systemsettings5[6234]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f545792c6d5 sp 00007ffda86c8ae0 error 4 in libQt5Qml.so.5.5.1[7f545773a000+40e000]
[03:06] <Doyle> Where is the dash as shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY1bFbGbQDg&t=1m02s
[03:06] <Doyle> ?
[03:09] <Guest88530> Right Click menu and look under alternatives
[03:19] <Doyle> Ty. Is there a way to remove the 48pt mouse cursor theme size option
[03:41] <Doyle> Got it all setup the way I like, but for some reason, the active window task in the taskbar is green. Where do I find that setting?
[03:41] <Doyle> I'd rather it not be green.
[03:46] <Doyle> Woot. Got it all down. Just had to re-apply the theme.
[03:46] <Doyle> L8erz!
[10:49] <yossarianuk> hi - I have an asus laptop with hybrid hraphics - I cannot change the brightness... the kde settings do not work and the brightness section is missing from nvidia-settings
[10:49] <yossarianuk> *graphics
[10:49] <yossarianuk> I can use 'echo 500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness'
[10:49] <yossarianuk> however i'm stuck on 937 on max_brightness.
[10:50] <yossarianuk> I have tried - acpi_backlight=video
[10:50] <yossarianuk> I have tried - acpi_backlight=native, acpi_backlight=none, acpi_backlight=vendor - none work
[10:51] <yossarianuk> I cannot control brightness using fn keys
[10:51] <yossarianuk> and can only reach max brightness of 937 using /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
[10:51] <yossarianuk> which sucks a bit
[10:52] <yossarianuk> xbacklight doesn't work
[10:53] <yossarianuk> (hybrid graphics need urgent work for Linux I would say...)
[11:01] <yossarianuk> any ideas how to change the brightness?
[11:09] <deniljoseph> i cant install kde connect http://paste.ubuntu.com/16255981/ here is the error
[11:10] <soee> deniljoseph: you are on 16.04 ?
[11:10] <deniljoseph> nop
[11:10] <deniljoseph> 14.04
[11:11] <deniljoseph> maybe someone could help
[11:11] <deniljoseph> bt someone in ubuntu channel told me to ask here about the problem
[11:11] <soee> i see, type in console: sudo apt install -o  Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true kdeconnect
[11:12] <nz0> hallo all
[11:12] <soee> hiho nz0
[11:13] <yossarianuk> so I have 3 issues (1) the brightness function keys to not work - acpi_listen shows nothing when using them.  (2) All GUI options to control brightness are not working (kde and nvidia)
[11:13] <yossarianuk> (3) I cannot turn max brightness above 937
[11:13] <deniljoseph> soee https://paste.kde.org/pszn44wbc here is the error again
[11:13] <deniljoseph> when i typed as u said
[11:14] <nz0> Many thanks for your help in advance... :) Just wanted to know how I could install Kubuntu 16.04 from a Live USB in a dual boot configuration with the ubuntu 15.10 wily already installed.... the partitioning and everything is done, just need to know what to do to grub2
[11:14] <nz0> ?
[11:16] <deniljoseph> soee any solution
[11:16] <soee> deniljoseph: tbh.  i don't know, i would suggest to upgrade to 16.04 LTS - here it forks just fine :)
[11:17] <deniljoseph> oh so i cnt fix this in 14.04lts ??  :(
[11:18] <deniljoseph> i m out of data for this month
[11:18] <soee> deniljoseph: probably you can im just not sure how
[11:18] <deniljoseph> hmm tx soee
[11:22] <nz0> deniljoseph: just for curiosity, what are you trying to fix?
[11:22] <deniljoseph> i cnt install kde connect
[11:22] <deniljoseph> i m trying to fix the error
[11:23] <nz0> ahhh okay cheers :)
[11:32] <nz0> i just read the channel guidelines, and apologies for cutting in on you peeps deniljoseph and soee
[11:32] <nz0> far out im off to a great start here :)
[11:33] <nz0> one good thing is that I think I have answered my own question... :)
[11:35] <nz0> if i go offline and dont come back for a bit, assume that i ~thought~ i'd solved my own question, but had just forced myself to do another systemback restore
[11:48] <ShalokShalom> this self written service menu works also on .desktop files, while i want it to work only with isos: https://paste.kde.org/phcrxlhx7
[11:49] <ShalokShalom> right click on videos, music, documents > no entry, as planned
[11:50] <ShalokShalom> right click on iso > burning entry, as planned
[11:50] <nz0> sorry, is there a question here?
[11:50] <ShalokShalom> right click on .desktop file > burning entry, as NOT planned
[11:51] <ShalokShalom> yeah, how to disable the service entry on .desktop files?
[11:51] <nz0> sorry i was just confused a bit :)
[11:51] <ShalokShalom> sure sure :)
[11:51] <nz0> im not a moderator or very good at kubuntu yet... i was just asking :)
[11:52] <nz0> i definitely can see how an answer to your question will help me later on tho
[11:52] <ShalokShalom> i see, thanks
[11:52] <ShalokShalom> nz0: because?
[11:52] <nz0> these are context menus you are talking about, right?
[11:52] <ShalokShalom> yep
[11:53] <ShalokShalom> i write it for K3B and K9 copy replacement
[11:53] <ShalokShalom> both are unmaintained
[11:53] <ShalokShalom> currently no qt GUI solution for me to write ISOs
[11:53] <nz0> i had mine filly customized (as far as I could to my abilities) when i used gnome, now i will want to do the same in KDE
[11:53] <ShalokShalom> ah, ok
[11:53] <ShalokShalom> there are nice tutorials in the web
[11:54] <ShalokShalom> even in my native language german
[11:54] <nz0> sorry, if you are a developer i should be less loose with my "fully customized" speak ;)
[11:54] <ShalokShalom> its pretty easy
[11:54] <ShalokShalom> i am most likely under your level
[11:54] <ShalokShalom> this is my first code, next to some easy PKGBUILDs
[11:54] <nz0> nah, if you have written something that is unmaintained, you are already above me :)
[11:54] <ShalokShalom> and even if i would be a full dev, speak how you like :)
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> haha, K3B is unmaintained
[11:55] <nz0> what was it you wrote? K9 copy replacement or something?
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> yep
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> more or less
[11:55] <nz0> nice...
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> more likely less
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> yeah
[11:55] <ShalokShalom> we are fully qt and kde focused in our distribution
[11:56] <ShalokShalom> it seems like to be a way, to finaly give something back, since its easy enough for me to do
[11:56] <ShalokShalom> and helpful in the same breath
[11:57] <nz0> i like KDE a bit more now
[11:57] <nz0> as I was saying, I was fully gnome-orientated... then I saw a friend of mine rip out a KDE plasma 5 laptop, tasteful minimalist themes, understated effects... was very smooth :)
[11:58] <nz0> it would be great to one day give something back... talking about which, perhaps we should go over to #kubuntu-offtopic before we get kicked ? :)
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> if i cut out the full code, save and run kbuildsycoca5, the entry stays still
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> so its not the code
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> i doubt, we get kicked, this is ontopic?
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> and i have to go for now, see yah later :)
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> thanks :)
[11:59] <nz0> good to meet you
[11:59] <nz0> good luck
[11:59] <ShalokShalom> same
[12:01] <ShalokShalom> nz0:  what convince me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON0A1dsQOV0
[12:01] <nz0> im watching now
[12:01] <ShalokShalom> next to the design, adjustability and so on
[12:01] <ShalokShalom> good day ^^
[12:03] <nz0> good day to you too :)
[12:04] <nz0> peace
[12:11] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:28] <hazamonzo> Hey folks
[12:28] <soee> hiho
[12:29] <hazamonzo> So does anyone use the fish:// protocol to map remote filesystems as local ones over ssh to dolphin?
[12:31] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo, I have used fish in the past and it works ok.
[12:32] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: indeed
[12:32] <hazamonzo> Its super useful
[12:32] <hazamonzo> I had a follow up question but i just figured it out :)
[12:32] <hazamonzo> It was about how to connect and pass over a ssh key
[12:32] <hazamonzo> If you're interested... create a ~/.ssh/config which points to the key then you can use that shortcut in fish://
[12:33] <hazamonzo> Hurray!
[12:36] <BluesKaj> hazamonzo, I use ssh in dolphin network whenever possible
[12:36] <hazamonzo> BluesKaj: True. Its very useful
[12:36] <hazamonzo> But not so simple if you need a key
[12:37] <BluesKaj> yeah, true , but I'm on a simple home network

[23:51] <mdlpe> hi, How to disable sleep/screensaver to watch movie in kubuntu 16.04 ?


[11:32] <Hariharan> ping-all : I am using netboot for installing ubuntu, netboot files will be extracted in ubuntu-installer, is there a way to install with custom folder name then ubuntu-installer.
[12:34] <Hariharan> ping-all : I am using netboot for installing ubuntu, netboot files will be extracted in ubuntu-installer, is there a way to install with custom folder name then ubuntu-installer.
[13:53] <CarlFK> Hariharan: yes - your dhcp server sends the path.  edit your dhcp server config to point to your custom path.
[13:54] <Hariharan> CarlFK: for core.elf I have changed, it is fetching core.elf, but it is again looing for grub.cfg in ubutnu-installer

[13:57] <CarlFK> Hariharan: pastebin next time please
[13:58] <Hariharan> CarlFK: sure, sorry
[14:01] <CarlFK> sounds like you want to pass a $prefix parameter to grub.  I have no idea if it has support for that.  if so...
[14:01] <CarlFK> dhcp option is the only thing I can think of
[14:11] <Hariharan> CarlFK: what is the dhcp option
[14:11] <CarlFK> Hariharan: I don't even know if grub will look for it.
[14:12] <CarlFK> that's just the only way I can think of to pass a value.
[14:12] <CarlFK> otherwise I think you need to build a custom core.elf
[14:12] <majorana> Hi! I thought about contributing a small code patch to solve https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/871752; Would it be appreciated and would I need to sign the Canonical contributor licence agreement first?
[14:13] <Hariharan> CarlFK: that can be good option, any document or link for building custom core.elf
[14:14] <CarlFK> Hariharan: sorry.  I stick with the defaults.
[14:14] <Hariharan> CarlFK: :)
[14:15] <CarlFK> I happen to have this open... http://lukeluo.blogspot.com/2013/06/grub-how-to6-pxe-boot.html   bash -x grub-mknetdir --net-directory=./

[14:36] <Hariharan> CarlFK: thanks, will check it ou
[14:36] <Hariharan> out
[20:16] <CarlFK> how do I conf dnsmasq to send partman-auto/disk="/dev/nvme0n1"
[20:16] <CarlFK> for a given mac
[21:06] <CarlFK> Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux gfxpayload=800x600x16,800x600 --- auto=true url=dc10b DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 tasks= hostname= partman-auto/disk=/dev/nvme0n1 BOOTIF=00:26:9e:03:9d:e5
[21:06] <CarlFK> BOOTIF=... but the installer is asking me which nic to use
[22:03] <cjwatson> CarlFK: BOOTIF is a bit weird; it needs a leading ARP type code (and also conventionally it's dash-separated, though netcfg doesn't mind), so the canonical form would be BOOTIF=01-00-26-9e-03-9d-e5
[22:04] <cjwatson> BOOTIF=01:00:26:9e:03:9d:e5 will work too, but either way you need the type code at the front.  1 is Ethernet
[22:04] <cjwatson> however it's weird to pass BOOTIF by hand
[22:05] <cjwatson> the point of BOOTIF is that it's set automatically by pxelinux and similar
[22:05] <cjwatson> if you're doing it by hand then you should probably just use interface=00:26:9e:03:9d:e5 instead (interface is an alias for netcfg/choose_interface) and have a more convenient syntax
[22:05] <CarlFK> cjwatson: I just switched from pxelinux to grub.. grub.cfg has:
[22:05] <CarlFK> linux /ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux gfxpayload=800x600x16,800x600 --- auto=true url=dc10b DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 tasks="" hostname= partman-auto/disk="/dev/nvme0n1" interface=auto BOOTIF=01:${net_default_mac}
[22:06] <cjwatson> notice the 01: at the front there
[22:06] <CarlFK> I just put that in
[22:06] <CarlFK> but i am thinking this?   interface=${net_default_mac}
[22:07] <cjwatson> either would be fine
[22:07] <cjwatson> interface=auto -> use default interface name without asking, which will be read from BOOTIF (among other possibilities)
[22:08] <cjwatson> interface=00:26:9e:03:9d:e5 -> just use that interface already
[22:09] <CarlFK> that one.  less docs for someone else to read
[22:09] <cjwatson> it does seem clearer
[22:09] <CarlFK> how is your dnsmasq conf know how?
[22:10] <CarlFK> er, fist, am I correct thinking di can look at dhcp parameters for   partman-auto/disk="/dev/nvme0n1"
[22:20] <cjwatson> I know little about dnsmasq
[22:22] <cjwatson> you can preseed partman-auto/disk via any of the normal preseeding mechanisms, including
[22:22] <cjwatson> their details
[22:22] <cjwatson> err
[22:22] <cjwatson> including https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apbs02.html#preseed-dhcp
[22:23]  * cjwatson side-eyes gnome-shell - I'm sure copy/paste handling has got slightly weirder since I switched
[22:28] <CarlFK> k - that example 1/2 makes me wonder if I have to put my values in a preseed file
[22:30] <CarlFK> what has a higher priority, values passed from dhcp, or values in the preseed file?
[22:43] <CarlFK> actually...  that is using the  ...standard? dhcp options like  "next-server tftpserver.example.com;     filename "pxelinux.0";
