Hey guys I'm new at Linux and I'd like to know if there's a way to check if Kubuntu is using my graphics card. I have a Radeon HD graphics card and on Windows I could check that just by going to system info, but now on Kubuntu I don't see it anywhere. Neither on the driver manager or in the graphics section of system info. Hope someone could help me out with that. EOF

Thanks,

Hi,

I am currently attempting to install Kubuntu 18.04.1 on a HP Pavilion
15-cr0001ng notebook which came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home Edition.
In preparation, I shrunk the C: drive to get some 400GB of free storage on
the (single) HDD.

How do I go about getting kontact/kmail to automatically deleting my emails
from my computer like Thunderbird does? That's one feature that I'd love to
see in kontact/kmail. Is there a way I can implement that?

Hello,

here I am again with my periodic issue with font hinting (see here for
the previous chapter
<a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html" title="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html</a>).

Recap: I like crisp fonts and hate blurry as well as ragged ones, so I
use msttcorefont, arial (a font with good hinting) and disable aliasing
between 8 and 15 pt.

re. my finding that upgrading from a minimal install option of Kubuntu
18.04 results in a "full" version of 18.10.

Following the same procedure for Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu Mate 18.04 works
as expected.

Hi Everybody.

I have a odd question. I have upgraded to KUbuntu 18.10 from 18.04 some
time ago. But there seems to have a odd bug. One can through the
trashcan in the trashcan. Is this something one should be able to do.
When I do this the trashcan vanish from the screen. But if one has
"Dolphin" open one can still see the trashcan. And one can drag the
trashcan from there to the screen. Is this a bug or is something that
should be there? I also have another question. This has with program to
do. I don't know if there is any program like a program I like.

Hi Everybody

I would like to ask how can one upgrade from KUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS to
KUbuntu 18.10? I have tested everything I have found on forums and tips.
But nothing seems to work. I have even taken home ISO file and put on a
USB memory stick. I wondering can one upgrade through a memory stick and
not lose everything one has? Since every time I tested what forum says I
get an answer there is no new version. I switch source from Sweden to
World and even told it to normal releases. But nothing I have tried
works. I also tried to update from KDE Plasma v.

Hi

I'm getting a bad error from KMail:

"Im E-Mail-Programm ist ein schwerwiegender Fehler aufgetreten. Das Programm

being terminated.

Hi,

On my Lenovo Z40 laptop (Intel Core i7-4510U, 16GB RAM, GeForce 820M), both Nouveau and NVIDIA drivers aren't working. And I did double check if secure boot is disabled.

When I have nvidia-driver-396 and have the NVIDIA driver enabled, "PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key" error keeps getting spammed in separate TTYs. In addition, nvidia-xconfig doesn't see the GPU and had to be manually entered in xorg.conf. Finally, the audio is choppy/laggy.

that daemon's crashing in the dailylive ISO of 18.10. i'm filing a bug report. this is getting tiresome. i've had that same crash across two releases of kubuntu: 18.04 and now with 18.10.

Hello.
To have new better Bug#1 fixing so people can find wich for comparison
should b installed, for current and new users, of all Ubuntu distros, im
asking for crowdsourcing help of everyone working together to share
knowledge together in one spreadsheet.
At start 7 Ubuntu Flavors Compared: Kubuntu vs. Lubuntu vs. Xubuntu vs.
MATE vs. Budgie vs. Studio.

First off, sorry for potentially hitting some of your mailboxes more
than once but I wanted to get the word spread out as much as possible.

Now on to the matter at hand: Google Code-In. This is a project Google
hosts where open source organizations participate, providing bite size
tasks and mentorship for 13-17 year olds from around the world. The
winners and their parents get to hang out with Google in San Francisco
for what is ultimately a really, really cool trip.

Ubuntu has participated in this for several years, with Canonical
providing the admins.

I would like to request that the Cosmic packageset of Kubuntu is updated
by running the 'usual' scripts. This should add the sources we have
gained since last release, and correct some previous omissions, and
allow us to polish up Cosmic without having to bother sponsorship queues
unnecessarily.

Thank you.

Hello all!

With the new council members I'd like to raise the topic about our funds.
Since there is not enough to pay a developer full or even part time I think
we should use it for items to sell like stickers, flash drives, pens, and
others. This can help us get more members who contribute by being able to
have the Kubuntu name out there. It will also help us pull in more funds to
help maybe get part time funds for a developer.

Under the 'others' subject we can also get some reading material together
to get word out about contributing and the project.

hey all. i just noticed during a package update that a crash happened.
it says 'packagekit daemon' crashed. i'm running the minimal
installation of 18.04 on a lenovo ideapad 310-15 ABR laptop. and i can't
remember how to file a bug since it's been a longtime since i've done
it. can someone let me know what the terminal commands are for filing a
bug is? i think it's ubuntu-bug 'packagename'. but i need clarification.
and yes, i've got a launchpad account.

hey guys. What's with the touchpad coming back on after resuming from
suspend? I've got the settings to disable the touchpad when a mouse is
inserted/used, in this case with a USB dongle, and it still comes back
on after i resume from suspend. the only time it's off is when i first
getting booted up but my computer can't go into suspend if i want the
touchpad to remain off. what gives? Any solutions to this? I'll research
further until I hear from someone here.

what's up with kubuntu not keeping a laptop touchpad turned off after
resume from suspend even though that option's turned on in settings?
every single time i close the screen/lid down and reopen it, the
touchpad's back on. i've got it marked to keep it off while my mouse's
plugged in and it never stays off. the only time it's ever off is if i
do a complete power off or a restart. it's aggravating.

Recently, when I try to find a file or folder with Dolphin, it instantly
responds with nothing found.

I tried using Kfind but it immediately pushes my system to 40% to 60% usage
and still takes forever to find a file.

My system consists of an AMD 8 core processor, 16Gb of RAM, Kubuntu 18.04
and all current patches and updates.

I've looked on various forums and no one seems to be experiencing the exact
same issue.

Any suggestions?

Is anyone on here using apt-cacher?

There's a chronic problem where AC cannot bind to the port it wants to
use (3142) and I am currently having this problem.

I used to use AC about 3 years ago when I had the same problem and gave
it up.  Looks like I may have to give it up again.

It appears that AC will run the first time you install it.  And it did
that for me.  But after rebooting my server it always comes up with:

Unable to bind socket (port 3142)

I've googled this and people have had this problem since 2009, but I haven't found a solution yet.

No, no one is using or LISTENing on t

Hi all,
I wish to announce that I am passing on the position of Canonical's
Point of Contact on KDE's Advisory Board to my colleagues:
- Alan Pope (popey) - <a href="mailto:alan. ... at canonical dot com">alan. ... at canonical dot com</a>
- Martin Wimpress (Wimpress/flexiondotorg) - <a href="mailto:martin. ... at canonical dot com">martin. ... at canonical dot com</a>

My responsibilities in Canonical have moved further from desktop and
KDE/Qt, and I found I had little time to contribute here.

Alan and Martin are in a far better suited to liaising with the KDE
community and had already picked up lots of the slack.

I hope you'll give them the same warm welcome as I received!
Thanks all

sorry.

This was a clean install of 18.04 on an HP laptop, quad core AMD 8 gigs
ram.

I suspect something went wrong during installation. Nothing will install
from the repositories. It comes back with an error that says I need a
"gtk3" something. Googling is no help or anything else I've tried.

I'm wondering if there is something that will re-install everything from
a dvd or...................... that doesn't mean wiping the hard drive
clean and starting over. I'm not against doing that but would rather not
if I can.
