TsarObombaSorry got disconnected01:48
TsarObombaIs there a way to do a text install? OI know kubuntu doesnt have an alternate install iso like ubuntu, xubuntu, etc01:48
bazhangthere is no longer an alternate installer01:49
bazhang!alternate01:49
ubottuThe Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal01:49
TsarObombaok01:49
TsarObombabut not even a text one?01:49
bazhangtry the minimal01:49
TsarObombai dont see a minimal iso anymore01:49
bazhang!mini01:49
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD01:49
bazhangthe minimal is flavor-less01:50
TsarObombai dont see a kubuntu mini01:53
bazhangit has no flavor, thats why01:54
TsarObombaiooh forget that then01:54
bazhangit's generic, you need to add the gnome/kde4 or whatever01:54
TsarObombahes gonan stick around to install01:54
TsarObombaya forget that02:00

roberth1990anybody but me who only comes to busybox when booting 13.10 install medium?05:39
valorieroberth1990: you are the only person I've ever seen mention it05:40
roberth1990valorie: odd...05:40
valoriemaybe explain what you mean by 'busybox'?05:40
roberth1990valorie: tried both beta1 and dailies05:41
roberth1990same thing05:41
roberth1990busybox is a shell05:41
roberth1990which kubuntu just boots into05:41
valorieprobably most here would not have tried such05:41
valorieyou might try #ubuntu+1 which specializes in that05:41
valoriealso if you look at the testing site, you might see some feedback there05:42
valoriereally that is where we need your input05:42
valorieroberth1990: it is awesome that you are testing05:45
roberth1990valorie: im not testing actually, 13.04 gives me issues with old software versions05:46
valorieif you are using it, you are testing05:47
valorieso it would be good if you reported your results, while you're at it05:47
valoriethe more reports we get, the better05:47
roberth1990the result will be that I use less backports05:48
roberth1990for example kde 4.11 isnt behaving nicely for me on 13.0405:49
valoriebug reports are welcome for all current versions05:50
valoriebut of course most welcome for the testing versions05:50
roberth1990I am not exactly any bug reporter05:58
roberth1990TBH05:58
roberth1990I only use *ubuntu because of an application which seems to be designed for *ubuntu05:59
valorieok, but filing bug reports do help improve the system06:03
valorieyour information is valuable06:03
roberth1990Ive never every filed a bug report to a large project that has been fixed06:03
valoriesome people don't realize that bug reports aren't complaints, but valuable info06:03
valoriesome aren't fixed, you are right06:04
roberth1990the problem for me is that my issues automatically gets back in the line, like I requested que sheet support for banshee in 2007 or something first now have they began working on it06:04
valorieand some are, but the report itself is never triaged, so it doesn't get reported back to ya06:05
valorieI think we are making cue sheets work in amarok again06:05
roberth1990well there you have bug reporting within open source software in a nutshell06:05
valoriesure, but there are only so many people willing to do reporting, triage, and testing06:06
* roberth1990 prefers MPD06:06
valoriedocumentation, etc.06:06
valoriesure, everyone should use what they like06:06
valoriethis isn't religion06:06
roberth1990religion shouldnt be chosen either by what you like06:07
roberth1990but going to try to install 13.10 one more time...06:07

kerloiHi again. Could anyone explain me how a kubuntu live usb disk may not start on a computer when you know that  : 1°) The disque can boot with virtual box 2°) it's  a 64 bits 13.04 distro 3°) If I make a linux mint in the usb disk it starts ...14:29
kerloiI'm trying to install kubuntu on my new laptop. Windows 8 is installed but I've disabled the secure boot and the fast boot options ...14:32
kerloiAnd still I cannot make the usb live disk boot14:32
kerloiwell it's not really working in virtual box. Sometimes it starts sometimes not and graphics sometimes crash ...14:38

BluesKajkerloi, better to ask in #ubuntu then , it's much more populated 14:44
kerloiBluesKaj: ok thx14:44
BluesKajkerloi, better chance of getting an answer that works there 14:46
