The update will not present itself automatically until the first point release 3 months from now. Has anyone upgraded successfully from Kubuntu 10.04 to 12.04?

I've heard no reports of anyone doing this, but there is a warning on mythbuntus site the upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 breaks grub. It's be nice to hear from at least one person who has attempted a 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade. I've been googling and have found zero reports of anyone doing this. [01:34] Hello All-can someone explain the difference between the DVD and CD versions of Kubuntu 12.04 [01:36] Hallo da draußen. Noch jemand wach? [01:40] !de [01:40] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [01:52] Greetings! on a 11.10 system, I checked for all latest packages, installed them. Rebooted, then ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Comes up with nothing. "normal releases" is selected in Muon. Suggestions? [01:53] ScottyK: for upgrade to a new release the command is "sudo do-release-upgrade" [01:54] checking - no new release found.. Curious [01:54] you might have to add a -d switch [01:54] Negative. [01:56] Well dang, I was hoping Kubuntu 12.04 would have the cool installer that Ubuntu has... and give you a better choice (which helps newbies) when installing on the Desk Setup area [01:56] I think Ubuntu does a better job of explaining to the newbie what each option will do [01:58] ScottyK: you sure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has prompt=normal? [01:58] o well, nevermind. [02:07] I am trying to connect two Kubuntu PCs together via a crossover cable. The PCs have different subnets (ie. 192.168.2.x and 192.168.3.x).

[02:10] What are you trying to do? [02:10] Essentially, I am trying to join two subnets [02:11] think it needs to be 192.168.1.* on both [02:11] we did it to play the video game Descent! :) [02:12] ok, if they are in the same subnet, is the mask 255.255.255.0 ok? [02:12] i think that will work [02:12] not sure on crossover cable [02:13] ok I'll see what I can do [02:13] thanks guys [02:22] @#$*@(#**!$ [02:22] No clue [02:22] Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't get me to a login screen now....

[04:03] hello guys [04:04] I am new to KDE and I have general questions [04:04] ask away [04:04] GNOME side of linux is experiencing heavy problems on keeping up with kompiz, hows kubuntu doing and how do I install it even ? are the commands same ? [04:08] sorry, don't know, don't use compiz [04:11] So, um, I just installed the new kubuntu 12.04 [04:11] its seems as though the package dependency system is explicitly broken [04:11] by design [04:12] Specifically, I can't seem to install development packages for Nvidia drivers [04:12] because the headers (-dev) are marked as 386 only [04:13] Why is that? [04:42] if i issue lsb_release -a then what will it give? can someone put the log? [04:43] No LSB modules are available. [04:43] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [04:43] Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [04:43] Release: 12.04 [04:43] Codename: precise [04:43] did you issued that on KUBUNTU? [04:44] i don't install the kubuntu iso directly. instead, i do a command-line install from the ubuntu minimal netboot, then add kde/kubuntu packages via apt-get [04:45] is there something else specific that you're looking for? [04:47] can i use lsb_release -a to know if i am running kubuntu or ubuntu? [04:49] the major differences between kubuntu and ubuntu are the desktop environments. [04:49] kubuntu = kde [04:49] ubuntu = unity (or gnome 3 if you choose) [04:49] the underlying operating system elements are identical [04:59] but i want to know that if i issue lsb_release will it show like "Distributor ID: Kubuntu" or "Description: Kubuntu 12.04 LTS"? [05:00] virpara:' lsb_release -a' should give you the version number/nickname [05:02] JMichaelX: you mean I can not use lsb_release -a to check if it's ubuntu or kubuntu, Right? [05:03] virpara: apparently not. it does not give info about desktop environments/window managers [05:04] hmm then "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" is the only way? [05:29] virpara: could be [05:30] JMichaelX: okay thanks [05:30] i have to say, i have now upgraded 3 kubuntu desktops to precise, and my home server, and so far this has been among the smoothest *buntu dist-upgrades i have experienced [05:38] @JMichaelX: agreed. i've been dist-upgrading my ThinkPad X1 every day since alpha 1 (when I did a clean install) and it's been smooth sailing the whole time.

[09:22] Hi all, I installed a fresh Kubuntu 12.04 LTS. But flash is not working ? Any ideas please. Flash-plugin-installer seems to be installed [09:23] vadrao: which browser are you using? [09:23] robotdevil: I did in 11.04. I guess you need to remove hardware acceleration and every thing will be fine [09:23] like uninstall nvidia drivers? [09:24] rork: It does not seem work in Chrome, Firefox or Opera.. I tried in all. That is strange because flash should work by default atleast on Chrome [09:24] then my hdmi video out to tv will not work properly [09:25] robotdevil: NO, just right click on the any video and go to settings (basically flash seetings) and disable hardware acceleration [09:25] oh [09:26] How can I use my webcam in kubuntu 12.04? [09:27] vadrao: wow that was easy for a change, thanks [09:27] robotdevil: Welcome [09:46] Can anybody confirm if Flash is working on their newly installed 12.04 ? [09:47] vadrao: it is working on mine [09:48] did you install kubuntu-restricted-extras [09:48] Yes, I did. What is strange in my case is it is not working even in chromium. [09:49] not working at all or no sound? [09:50] georgelappies_: Its just not working. Says "no plugin available to display this content" ON chrome [09:52] georgelappies: http://pastebin.com/jDUYtUfz (it says the restricted package is installed) [10:05] vadrao try running in konsole: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer' [10:08] the restricted extras only installs the flashplugin-installer, that app (flashplugin-installer needs to download the flash and extract it to '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins//usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [10:08] oops /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so [10:09] i had the plugin-installer die on me a few times in the past so as a rule I tend to run it manually after an install to make sure flash is indeed downloaded [10:11] lol, only now I see vadrao timed out :p === jacky is now known as JackyAlcine [10:14] Hello, is there a way to force update to 12.04 ?

I have ATI 5470HD and using proprietary drivers? [10:18] georgelappies: mhh, no, I'm using nVidia with proprietary drivers, haven't tried nouveau ones with this card [10:20] which there was a consistent way to reproduce this crash, so that one atleast know where to start looking === withelm_ is now known as withelm === JackyAlcine is now known as jacky === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [10:35] could the Kubuntu gods perhaps have a look at this: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58509-Random-crash-to-console-like-display-with-multi-colors [11:43] Using browser is overloading my CPU up to 98-99% because of flashplugin.

[11:47] currently installing kubuntu. its downloading aditional packages, but the connection is really slow [11:47] can i install those packages after installation? [11:48] kubuntu: yes, you can install updates and translation packages after installation [11:48] same with mp3 codecs [11:49] BlouBlou: how to do it,pls? [11:49] is there a window poping up which reminds me or do i have to find it manually? [11:49] sto4aluck: open a flash video, right click, configuration, and enable the mark in the first tab [11:50] Hey all [11:51] kubuntu: codecs -> "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras". Translation packages -> Go to configuration > languages, and it should install update it automatically, if not, just choose your language. Updates >> Go to configuration >> Software >> Updates [11:51] also: it says "pack downloading 88%", but no matter how often i click on the 'x' it doesn't abort [11:51] BlouBlou: thanks for that information [11:51] np [11:52] also: it says "pack downloading 88%", but no matter how often i click on the 'x' it doesn't abort [11:52] can i abort that via a commando or something? [11:53] BlouBlou: do you mean to do that from the browser? [11:53] Once kubuntu it's installed, you may force reinstall with "sudo reboot", but I don't know if it will work fine, I would let computer downloading it [11:53] sto4aluck: yes, try using firefox [11:54] err, reinstall no, reboot [11:54] BlouBlou: OK, thanks [11:54] BlouBlou: but the connection is extremely slow and it takes ages, that's the problem [11:54] BlouBlou: however, i will wait then [11:54] kubuntu: you don't have to watch the video, just load the flash app === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [11:56] one last question ;-) [11:56] how can i see the "speed" of my ethernet connection. i mean if it's 100 or 1000 Mbit [11:57] kubuntu: I think it's "ifconfig" [11:58] That's a command, type in konsole or whatever you use :) [11:59] already tried that, but it isn't showing what i want [12:01] kubuntu: "ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed", you have to install ethtool [12:01] oh :-) the network manager is showing it [12:01] oh, no need to do it then :) [12:02] yep, thanks anyway [12:02] thats what i love about the linux community. a lot of people are willed to help :D [12:03] BlouBlou: is it to enable the hardware acceleration???? [12:03] kubuntu: yeah, we're voluntering, so how are you gonna pay me? :P [12:03] sto4aluck: yeah [12:03] sto4aluck: you it should use gpu instead of cpu [12:03] so [12:03] not my day writting [12:03] BlouBlou: it was enabled [12:04] sto4aluck: go to firefox menu >> advanced >> use hardware acceleration [12:04] the comp is toshibe 2007 model does it make dif [12:04] BlouBlou: with the feeling that you made someone smile ;) [12:05] BlouBlou: ok [12:05] lunch time, I'm away :P [12:07] BlouBlou: it was enable on default :D [12:09] I installed kubuntu 12.04 and it boots into grub repair [12:11] now I am in the kubuntu live cd and I want to know how to install grub on the hard drive [12:11] !grub | bradlee [12:11] bradlee: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[14:42] BluesKaj: in the grub menu it shows something like `Windows7 instead of just Windows7 [14:44] BluesKaj: however, going to restart now [14:45] change that in the file you were editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom [14:45] caenel,^ [14:47] BluesKaj: tried it again "no such disk" was the error [14:48] BluesKaj: i used the partition manager to find out which partition it is. should i maybe use something different? [14:49] caenel, change that in the file you were editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom , get rid of the ' in front of windows [14:50] BluesKaj: verified it with blkid "/dev/sda3: LABEL="SYSTEM" [14:51] BluesKaj: to what should i change it? menuentry ‘Windows 7′ [14:54] don't use the word menuentry [14:55] oh you're editing the file now , I thought you were in grub,cfg [14:56] use the same as the tutorial tells you except the msdos numder because your is different, caenel [14:57] BluesKaj: this is from the tutorial (the one with the strange char) [14:57] BluesKaj: but i will go through msdos1-3 [15:01] BluesKaj: msdos2 wasn't it [15:01] caenel, try this ... sorry i forgot about it ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ...take those entries out of /etc/grub.d/40_custom , follow the Boot repair instructions [15:02] BluesKaj: but i pressed "e" on that entry and found something strange "set root=’(hd0,msdos2’" that ( is never closed anywhere [15:03] caenel, nevermind that , just remove the entries you put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom, and do the boot repair === killer_ is now known as killer1989 [15:23] hi all [15:23] i wanna install kubuntu from gui [15:23] but why i cannot find it?

[15:57] duytruong: more information? [15:58] yes, i can't launch it and add my language [15:58] is there a way to stop xserver and work in console mode in kubuntu? [15:59] benson , yes , alt+ctl+ F1 or 2 , stopx or kdm [15:59] benson, logout, once on login screen, click CTRL+ALT+F1 [16:00] killall -u (logout) [16:01] BluesKaj: But xorg will be in process at alt+ctl+F7 right? [16:01] benson run sudo service kdm stop [16:02] yes alt+ctl+F7 for X , but you have to start kdm again [16:02] benson, in login screen, click the little icon below password field, and choose "console login", it automatically shuts down X [16:02] BluesKaj: does this work while booting itself? just like backtrack which has console mode first then startx to begin with interface? [16:03] benson, yes ,I think I did that a few times [16:03] at the grub menu or at login as well [16:05] Hamra: Then how to restart X incase if we need? [16:05] BluesKaj: It doesn't affect x right? [16:06] no , you must stopx with kdm or stopx command [16:07] benson, inside the console, either do "service kdm start", and the login screen appears, or issue "startx" which loads X and logs you in, but careful, as startx will not allow you to automount USB thumb drives [16:07] Hamra in vmware [16:07] what is the command to ls a file with absolut path [16:08] benson, what are you trying to do at the tty ? [16:09] BlueKaj: nothing i just want to keep it simple in console mode to my text based application [16:10] Hamra: Thanks yaar... I will try this out! [16:10] BluesKaj: Thanks bud :) [16:12] hi all [16:12] jameslord: i'm afraid i dont understand [16:14] my internet connection isnt the best, and can be quite flaky... ths means kmail keeps throwing connection error to the notification system, how can i suppress them? [16:15] well, technically it's an akonadi issue, as poor kmail isnt the one fetching the mail... :S [16:16] Kmail, Evolution <<<<<< Thunderbird (increasing respectively) [16:18] hi [16:18] BluesKaj: didnt work [16:18] BluesKaj: now i cant even start my linux anymore [16:19] jameslord, kmail has a a few "issues" , even on decent connections ...I gave up on it after 2 weeks of contstant segfaults [16:20] BluesKaj: that was me asking :) i know it does, thunderbird is still configured, and still my favourite, but i have no problem trying kontact as well, see how it's coming... personally, i really wish it'll get better, because nothing beats a pretty desktop integration, but alas... [16:22] caenel, sorry to hear that ..I guess you should go back to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and restore your grub menu to it's previous state . then run update-grub again , but adding windows on setups is a problem which can be tricky to fix [16:22] BluesKaj: i even tried it with the windows cd/dvd. nothing worked, just destroyed more [16:23] BluesKaj: but both my windows and linux partitions are intact, i just cant start any os [16:23] Hamra, I just wish kmail would run as an ordinary email client without being tied to akonadi and and a database [16:24] caenel, your grub menu is corrupted [16:24] does anyone know where to find the settings for kdm.. I don't see an advanced tab in the settings anymore? [16:26] BluesKaj: i disagree :) akonadi has lots of potential, it just requires a little more workforce behind it... it's buggy, yes, it's messed up, yes, but it can be something great when it works correctly [16:26] DeathGuppie, in the run command /krunner , alt+f2 [16:26] BluesKaj: and how do i fix that now? [16:27] BluesKaj: are you saying to run krunner from krunner? [16:27] ?? [16:27] DeathGuppie: open krunner, and type KDM, second entry should be "login manager" [16:27] err.. "login screen" [16:27] Hamra, I wasn't condemning akonadi , it's ther for enterprise /office setups , but for home users akonadi isn't really necessary ..wish there was a nondatabse option [16:28] I see it now [16:28] it was all squished [16:28] no kdm from krunner DeathGuppie [16:30] BluesKaj: I found it but I need to be root.. so I'm looking for the command line, since it doesn't offer me kdesu [16:31] kdesudo kdm ? [16:31] BluesKaj: no.. that would start kdm.. which starst x, then kdm then kde.. bad idea [16:32] seems like i have a broken mbr and a broken grub. what to do now? [16:32] caenel: rebuild it [16:33] DeathGuppie: how do i do that? [16:33] DeathGuppie, doubt it has any undesireable effects if it's already running [16:33] http://blogs.deepal.org/2009/06/how-to-fix-mbr-using-ubuntu-live-cd.html [16:34] caenel: there are other ways.. but your problem is not as bad as you may think.. it is pretty easy to fix [16:34] DeathGuppie: kdesudo kcmshell4 kdm [16:34] DeathGuppie, well, it hasn't been easy so far [16:34] DeathGuppie: i tried to fix that for a long time now. BluesKaj helped me [16:35] DeathGuppie: at first just windows didn't boot, no nothing's booting [16:35] yeah , I can take some of the blame , so called tutorials , didn't help [16:35] DeathGuppie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/ms-sys/download that link in the tutorial doesn't work [16:36] caenel: give me a minute I'll read it and figure out what you need.. I used to work with gentoo.. so I can help you fix this no prob [16:37] DeathGuppie: ok, thank you [16:38] DeathGuppie: generally, for any configuration page you're not finding in "system settings", kcmshell4 is your friend, in a terminal, type "kcmshell4 --list", and you'll get a list of all KDE config screens available :) [16:38] how to make iso as apt source? [16:38] i have mount iso to /home/jameslord/iso [16:39] caenel: instead of having you chroot over from a live cd (complicated procedure).. I'm thinking maybe you could try this.. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [16:40] Hamra: thanks [16:40] DeathGuppie: rescatux or super grub2 disk? [16:41] DeathGuppie, for non native english speakers supregrubdisk can be confusing [16:41] one has to read between the lines so to speak [16:42] BluesKaj: I'm thinking that having him chroot over might be more confusing.. [16:42] unless the newer versions are more understandable [16:42] caenel: have you tried using the install cd and then just skipping to the last part where it installs the mbr? [16:42] DeathGuppie: do you talk about the kubuntu or win7 cd now? [16:43] kubuntu [16:43] also http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/super_grub2_disk_1.99_beta1.png i doesn't look very complicated [16:43] caenel: I don't think it's that complicated [16:43] no, how do i skip diretly to that part? [16:44] caenel, I didn't say complicated , I said confusing , but fine go for it . [16:44] caenel: I like the super grub answer it's cleaner.. I'd try that [16:45] anyway , stuff to do ...BBL [16:45] at least you can access your system [16:45] Hello All, I have a problem, I have my VM set to fullscreen but the kde panal reveals it self under the Fullscreened VM, making that area of the vm unclickable, is there a way to fix this, other then changing the panal settings? Like changing the reveal area of the panal? [16:46] DeathGuppie: ok, i will use super grub then. can i install it to a usb or do i need a cd? [16:47] DeathGuppie: oh and should i use super grub 1 or 2? [16:48] caenel: you should use super grub2.. and the medium doesn't matter as long as you know how to do it.. making an install cd is easier, unless you have used unetbootin before [16:49] DeathGuppie: the problem is that i don't have any cds around at the moment [16:50] hmm.. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [16:50] can i use the startup disc creator from kde? [16:51] caenel: yes [16:51] DeathGuppie: will use this [16:51] it should be in the repositories for ubuntu not shure [16:51] DeathGuppie: its already installed [16:51] click the Diskimage radio button and install the ISO image you downloaded [16:52] it should do everything for you [16:54] DeathGuppie: wth, usb creator isn't doing what i want [16:54] DeathGuppie: will have a look into unetbootin [16:55] caenel: unetbooting allways works [16:55] unetbootin.. I mean [16:56] got to reboot.. will brb [17:05] what's wrong with unetbootin? i downloaded it, chmod+x'd it, but it won't start [17:05] is ./unetboo* the right command? [17:31] ok folks, I have a PC with Ubuntu 12.04 that I installed Kubuntu-desktop package on, and I cannot get this thing to install anything via apt-get, including updates. Here is the error I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955583/ [17:42] DeathGuppie: unetbootin didn't work [17:43] DeathGuppie: so i decided to just reinstall kubuntu here, so i have at least one os. i'm currently installing, how do i fix my mbr for booting windows later? [17:48] had another hard freeze up now with the flickering screen :( [17:50] caenel: the Kubuntu install should do that for you if it doesn't then come ask.. I'll try to keep tabs on this channel [18:10] BluesKaj: ok, so i reinstalled kubuntu [18:10] BluesKaj: now i should fix my windows... [18:15] caenel, did the installer ask if you wanted to add windows to grub? [18:15] BluesKaj: no [18:15] hmm, it should have [18:16] BluesKaj: didn't do, i think it's completely broken === carmine is now known as Guest19183 [18:17] There is someway to make dolphin not use notification bars to show file copy? [18:21] chronos, rclick on the little ^ in the system tray, right click on notifications, choose notification settings [18:22] hm but where they go now?
