[03:11] <Zaya> how are you all today...
[03:14] <frecel_> can someone point me to the source of the Kubuntu Driver Manager?
[03:14] <Zaya> welcome frecel_
[03:15] <frecel_> I think I'm frustrated enough right now that I might actually fix a bug that's been bugging me (no pun intended) for a while now

[08:20] <DDR> Hello, all. I have this *vague* problem where after a day or two plasma and/or kde just sort of become unreliable and eventually just stop working in weird ways.
[08:20] <DDR> Anyone come before? :/
[08:24] <hateball> DDR: 2 days being booted you mean?
[08:24] <DDR> Yeah.
[08:25] <hateball> DDR: perhaps https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344879 ?
[08:25] <ubottu> KDE bug 344879 in general "memory leak in plasmashell - huge ram usage" [Normal,Confirmed]
[08:26] <hateball> you can easily observe if the plasmashell process grows disgustingly huge
[08:28] <DDR> It's that and Firefox at the top of my memory use column.
[08:29] <DDR> I'll keep an eye on it though.
[08:29] <hateball> Yeah but how much is it using? Being on top doesnt say much :)
[08:29] <hateball> 300mb or so is expected, not several gigs
[08:30] <DDR> 275,000K, says system monitor.
[08:30] <DDR> But it's only been running for a little while.
[08:30] <DDR> I haven't noticed memory going through the roof, but I haven't been keeping an eye on it either.
[08:31] <hateball> I am not saying it's the cause of your headache, just suggesting a possibility that's affecting me :)
[08:31] <DDR> Thank you. Even if I can eliminate memory use as a cause, it'll be a step in the right direction.

[10:53] <yossarianuk> *is*
[10:58] <lordievader> yossarianuk: < ubottu> A schedule of wily werewolf (15.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseSchedule
[11:00] <yossarianuk> lordievader: cheers
[11:01] <yossarianuk> so is 'KDE Releases Applications 15.08.1' making it into kubuntu 15.10 ? (is there anywhere that shows which versions are planned ?_)
[11:01] <yossarianuk> i.e -> https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.08.1.php
=== GuKKDevel is now known as gukk_devel
[11:12] <soee> yossarianuk: 15.10 has already 15.08.0 apps so bugifx release (15.08.1) doesn't conflict with feature freeze etc. so should land in Wily when packaged
[11:13] <soee> different sotry are new frameworsk :)

[12:46] <futureOfKubuntu> hello - what are the most important INNOVATIONS which are planned for future versions of KUBUNTU? where can I read about that?
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest61271
[13:08] <Guest61271> kubuntu either won't boot or boots without displaying through video card anyhelp?
[13:09] <hateball> Guest61271: Is this installed or from live-media? What GPU do you have?
[13:09] <Guest61271> fresh install wont boot
[13:09] <Guest61271> im currently on live from usb
[13:09] <Guest61271> nvidia gtx 550?
[13:09] <hateball> Are you using 15.04 ?
[13:10] <Guest61271> y
[13:10] <Guest61271> atleast tried to
[13:10] <Guest61271> SD
[13:10] <hateball> !nomodeset
[13:10] <ubottu> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[13:10] <Guest61271> 10x checking out
[13:35] <kubuntu_> kubu15 bsod error bro here, to <hateball> setting nomodeset in kernel only got me to kubu logo and then it went black again
[13:36] <kubuntu_> to <ubottu> I can't mount kubu's partition from live nor from netrunner? gonna try and install again
[13:37] <hateball> kubuntu_: if it is installed and not encrypted you should be able to just mount it in dolphin in a livesession
[13:38] <kubuntu_> Im pretty sure I didn;t set up encryp any way to check from terminal?
[13:52] <kubuntu_> is nomodeset required on Kubu14 also for NVidia cards?
[13:53] <hateball> kubuntu_: well, my 770gtx works ootb with 15.04 also
[13:54] <kubuntu_> ...
[13:54] <hateball> kubuntu_: do you get any form of error when you try mounting the installed disk?
[13:54] <kubuntu_> Any chance dual boot is making it go fuzzy ?
[13:54] <kubuntu_> nope
[13:54] <hateball> nope
[13:54] <kubuntu_> only standard acpi pc?? probe failed
[13:54] <kubuntu_> starting ver...
[13:54] <kubuntu_> it is on every linux I tried
[13:55] <kubuntu_> I find if fisshy that I can't mount kubu install part.
[13:55] <kubuntu_> Gonna try reinstall ans see waht happens.
[13:55] <kubuntu_> Btw i checked update and install 3rd party stuff on first installation
[13:56] <kubuntu_> maybe that made it go wonky
[13:57] <kubuntu_> <hateball> kubuntu_: do you get any form of error when you try mounting the installed disk? I do get error in doplphin
[13:57] <kubuntu_> cant see which currently installing
[13:58] <kubuntu_> on that partition O_O
[13:59] <hateball> ack, suck little patience
[14:04] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> to <hateball> / <ubottu> freshly installed Kub15 without updates and 3rd party sofw. booted up with no errors, no need for "nomodest"
[14:05] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> dunno what the prob was though.
[14:05] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> 10x for help doe
[14:07] <hateball> Haali_Kubuntu_15: weird
=== max is now known as Guest38842
[14:08] <hateball> Haali_Kubuntu_15: 3rd party software does not include gpu drivers, so that shouldnt be it
[14:08] <hateball> And regular updates, well that could include a more recent kernel and noeuveau modules but even that should "just work"
[14:09] <hateball> Haali_Kubuntu_15: if you intend to do any gaming I suggest you switch to the nvidia-proprietary driver
[14:10] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> not much gaming gonna happen here
[14:11] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> from all I read nvidia cards suck ducky eggs on linux side
[14:11] <hateball> Nah, they're good
[14:11] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> I got no vsync in Netrunner nor Osuse ...
[14:11] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> even with propritary drivers
[14:11] <hateball> Performance is mostly on par with Windows if you use proprietary driver
[14:12] <hateball> Haali_Kubuntu_15: Did you enable it in Kwin settings?
[14:12] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> Netrunner has no Kwin ? its something else and y it was enabled there
[14:12] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> One has to add tripplebuffering in some config file
[14:13] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> I didn't have enough tomatoes to threw at that tree doe
[14:13] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> so I just decided to say nay to screen tearing
[14:13] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> By the tuts you must enable in window manager and in driver manager and edit some cfg as I remember.
[14:14] <hateball> I've no idea about netrunner, this is kubuntu
[14:14] <hateball> If you use the proprietary driver, you can use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Avoid_tearing_with_GeForce_500.2F600.2F700.2F900_series_cards
[14:14] <hateball> This works well
[14:14] <Haali_Kubuntu_15> Netrunenr is Kubu slitly different

[15:07] <Trec> hi is it normal for switching to worspace grid animation to lag?
[15:07] <Trec> for switching to worspace grid*
[15:08] <Trec> it's kind of awkward to do it with an autocorner to go to the worspace grid

[16:34] <Colos> Hi Guys, Ive just installed Kubuntu 15 but I experience countless bugs, mainly around the Muon updater. Anyone knows how to fix this....? The download site says its a stable, reliable distro.....
[16:35] <Colos> The updating starts than randomly hangs and/or sometimes fires an erro message while the buttons in the error window are inactive.... I had to shut down the PC by the emergency power off button....
[16:36] <Colos> wow the OS has just fired another error message: Baloo File closed unexpectedly....
[16:36] <Colos> while I was typing here
[16:38] <Colos> and the updater has hanged at Systemd(amd64) phase now
[16:38] <Colos> So Kubuntu 15 is just an alpha testing version as far as I see
[16:40] <Colos> drkonqi closed unexpectedly.... another crash..... just now

[19:44] <anon__> MoonUnit`: ok i try
[19:59] <Okitain> For some reason, i can't install kmail on kubuntu-ci/stable ppa

[23:29] <Okitain> Anyone using kubuntu-ci stable?
[23:31] <raybay> is the kubuntu download (at kubuntu) updated as new features/packages come out, or is it the same for 6 months, with changes/upgrades made after the install?
[23:35] <Okitain> raybay: usually features are only added on next release, updates are usually just bugfixes
[23:35] <Okitain> and no, images aren't updated unless a critical bug is discovered
[23:36] <raybay> Okitain: Thankyou
[23:42] <ahoneybun> unless it is an LTS
[23:42] <ahoneybun> which the updates are made a new image spin is done
