[00:25] <austin6598> I use a mouse and keyboard sharing program called synergy across my windows 8.1 and windows 7 PC and it works best over a shared connection from my 8.1 ethernet to the 7's ethernet. When I share the ethernet connection on 8.1 it clones my wireless connection for my 7 so it is on the network and synergy works. However using kubuntu i can share a connection
[00:25] <austin6598> but synergy wont work over this, what setting am I looking for?
[00:43] <sithlord48> austin6598: the program is called synergy

[03:28] <imbezol> i upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04....
[03:28] <imbezol> having a tonne of issues in kde now
[03:29] <imbezol> highest priority one at the moment is that my mouse point is really jumpy
[03:29] <imbezol> darts back and forth between two positions on the screen
[03:29] <imbezol> when i move it around i can see the pointer being drawn at both points..
[03:29] <imbezol> sometimes those points are a half inch apart
[03:29] <imbezol> sometimes they're half the screen apart
[03:31] <misterno> that sucks
[03:31] <misterno> maybe you didnt update all
[03:34] <misterno> imbezol maybe try this sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <misterno> also for plasma-desktop
[03:34] <misterno> and perhaps sudo apt-get autoremove
[03:35] <misterno> i had different issues with my desktop when i messed up with themes
[03:35] <misterno> and this sorted it out
[03:35] <imbezol> actually just figured out something very weird
[03:35] <imbezol> if i move my mouse to the top left corner then the "shadow" mouse pointer has no room to be above and left of the actual pointer
[03:36] <imbezol> that causes the two images to converge and the issue is solved
[03:36] <imbezol> seems to happen again after locking and unlocking the workstation
[03:37] <imbezol> actually the more i use my mouse the more they start to diverge again
[03:38] <misterno> what do you mean locking and unlocking workstation

[07:05] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:24] <nfo> dear channel, short question, when i boot i have to wait for my network connection (arround 2 minutes) but my network/interfaces looks quite okay: auto lo iface lo inet loopback any hints?
[07:25] <lordievader> nfo: That is everything in there?
[07:25] <nfo> yepp
[07:25] <lordievader> Hmm, networkmanager should take care of the rest...
[07:26] <Silmarilion> how can I disable user list from showing up in 15.04? I want it to have username and password field in login manager.
[07:27] <sonne> hi :) i see that dolphin can access smb shares, but is there a way to mount them in kde, so that other programs can access them too?
[07:30] <alvin> Silmarilion: I believe there is a bug about that. It was possible with the previous login manager, but not with sddm.
[07:31] <alvin> sonne: The classic way. /etc/fstab. Only KDE programs can use the smb kioslave.
[07:32] <sonne> alvin, feared as much, thanks
[07:32] <alvin> sonne: What programs? LibreOffice is a bit of a special case. It /can/ use the smb kioslave, by downloading a temporary copy of the file and uploading it back when you close LibreOffice. You can also use an smb connection from within LibreOffice (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> Use LibreOffice dialogs)
[07:33] <sonne> alvin, audacious
[07:33] <sonne> i'm open to alternatives of course, but audacious is the only program that is both still alive and so cozily winampish
[07:34] <alvin> Hmm, no idea. But you can create an fstab entry, with the 'user,noauto' options. That way, you can mount the share using Dolphin. It'll be visible in Dolphin and other programs can then use it.
[07:34] <sonne> do you think that amarok will access smb? or is there a new player that is regarded as kde's music flagship?
[07:35] <alvin> Aah, eh, no. Amarok will be able to use the smb kioslave, but forget the path when you close it.
[07:36] <sonne> forget the path?
[07:36] <alvin> I believe the nicest solution there is using another protocol altogether.
[07:36] <lordievader> sonne: Or use 'sudo mount'.
[07:36] <sonne> oh jees
[07:36] <sonne> such as?
[07:36] <sonne> lordievader, i was hoping for something more integrated in the DE
[07:37] <alvin> Yes, suppose you have smb://server/music/great.mp3. It'll play from Amarok. But close Amarok, and open it again. You'll see it in the playlist, but it won't play again.
[07:37] <sonne> alvin, oh. that sucks.
[07:37] <sonne> you were saying that if the share is present in fstab with 'user' dolphin will mount it rather than just exploring it?
[07:37] <alvin> Yes, it does. I believe you'll have to look at DAAP, Ampache, or other stuff like that. I need to experiment with those one day.
[07:38] <alvin> sonne: That is correct
[07:38] <sonne> that might be very good news then
[07:38] <alvin> Not with user 'dolphin'
[07:38] <alvin> Let me check
[07:38] <sonne> there was supposed to be a comma after 'user' :)
[07:39] <alvin> yes. 'user,noauto'. Noauto will make sure the share is not mounted at boot, and user will make sure that you can mount it without being root. The share will show up in Dolphin, like USB sticks do. Just click it and it'll be mounted. (noauto is optional of course, It's better when you use a laptop)
[07:40] <sonne> i wonder if you can instruct kde to automount it..
[07:41] <sonne> strange as it may sound my windows desktop fails to mount the share at boot too, i can't access it until i click on it on the file manager, so i'm used to having to mount it "manually".. however it would be refreshing to not have to do it for a change :P
[07:43] <alvin> classic :-) I see the same symptoms in Windows. Click the drive and it shows up. But in Linux, just leave the noauto out. It'll mount at boot and timeout if the share is not available
[07:45] <sonne> i'm not sure how that would work out either.. for example my connection drops every time i close the laptop lid (which is working as intended of course), i'm not sure how that would work out
[07:46] <alvin> Me neither. That's for systemd to sort it out. It might work fine.
[07:47] <sonne> *shrug* what do i have to lose :)
[07:47] <sonne> thanks for the tip
[07:52] <alvin> sonne: //server/music /tank/music cifs user,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/sonne/.music,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
[07:52] <alvin> You'll need something like that, with your credentials in that file
[07:53] <sonne> alvin, it's anonymous, and it's already working as root..
[07:53] <sonne> mounting as user says that there is no reference for it on fstab though, odd.
[07:54] <sonne> wat
[07:55] <sonne> i had it as \\server\path and only worked as root
[07:55] <sonne> changed it to //server/path as you said, now works as user too *shrug*
[07:57] <sonne> works from dolphin too! marvelous!
[07:57] <sonne> thanks alvin :)
[07:58] <alvin> You're welcome :-)

[08:30] <amichair_> is plasma 5.4.0 being backported to 15.04?
[08:41] <alvin> I hope so. I've been reading the release notes. What does "System tray gains quicker configurability" mean? It's the only remark about the system tray and I'd like to see that one fixed.
[08:42] <alvin> Yay! Autostart has been fixed too!

[10:13] <kamil_> hi guys, i just found that plasma 5.4 was released, when it will be available in backports?
=== Yukkii is now known as Kaneki
=== Kaneki is now known as Yukkino
[10:37] <mparillo> I would expect it to be in Wily first, then backported to 15.04. Today, only the Beta (5.3.95) is in Wily.
[10:39] <kamil_> mparillo: can i expect that it will be available in eg. 1 month or rather soon(tm)?
[10:45] <mparillo> I do not know.
[10:46] <lordievader> That is very difficult to say since much of the work is done on a voluntairy basis.
[10:47] <kamil_> and how it was with earlier versions?
[10:47] <lordievader> The same.
[10:48] <TJ-> Why would it be backported? doesn't 15.04 support end in January? is it worth it?
[10:48] <lordievader> Perhaps it will never be backported. Guess only the devs can say that.
[10:49] <lordievader> < Riddell> lordievader: if someone gets round to it, sgclark has had a good track record of that
[10:50] <lordievader> Was the reply I got asking if 5.4 will be backported to Vivid.
[11:00] <TJ-> I'd doubt it simply because Wily has transitioned to GCC 5 and many packages have had GCC 5 specific fixes added; backporting would mean undoing those to match the 15.04 GCC version
[11:17] <kamil_> can i upgrade to wily yet (without reinstalling)? and is it stable enough to use?
[11:18] <lordievader> kamil_: It is still a development release.
[11:18] <kamil_> yes i know
[11:19] <kamil_> but sometimes betas are stable enough to use
[11:19] <lordievader> You can upgrade to a development release at anytime, however it is never recommended for production.
[11:22] <Alpha256> Hi! I'm running Kubuntu 15.04 (vivid). Is there a way/ppa I can upgrade to plasma 5.4 ?
[11:22] <lordievader> Alpha256: Not yet.
[11:25] <Alpha256> But plasma 5.4 will come to kubuntu-ppa/backports for vivid ? Or will it only go to wily ?
[11:25] <kamil_> which kernel is used in wily?
[11:25] <hateball> 4.1
[11:26] <hateball> kamil_: anyhow #ubuntu+1 is a better place for answers
[11:27] <kamil_> i had performance problem with 3.19.0.25 and thermald, i had to remove thermald and downgrade kernel and im curious if it will work ok in wily
[11:27] <kamil_> its last question and i go back to work :D
[11:27] <lordievader> Alpha256: Perhaps and perhaps not.
