| m477 | should I install on 14.04 XBMC Media Center as a basic media codec? | 00:51 |
| valorie | I don't understand your question, m4 | 00:52 |
| valorie | oops, m477 | 00:53 |
| valorie | the media center is a suite of applications | 00:53 |
| valorie | codecs are for various media formats, and probably `kubuntu-restricted-extras` is what you need | 00:53 |
| m477 | valorie: thanks for fast answer, but may I ask why just this one> | 00:57 |
| m477 | addons also are useful to install? | 01:02 |
| valorie | not sure | 01:04 |
| valorie | what's in it? | 01:04 |

| ztane | hi, I had setup autologin in KDE in 1304 already; now after some updates to trusty, I cannot get X session start at all, only get a message box about "/usr/bin/startkde -- not default session" and nothing is started, cannot see the whole message and so, any ideas on how to fix? | 05:12 |
| ztane | maybe just lightdm.conf changes; | 05:14 |
| ztane | no need to have autologin anymore | 05:14 |
| ztane | hmm got the greeter screen, but it is the ubuntu default, not the kde greeter anymore | 05:16 |
| ztane | hmm it says "unable to find /usr/bin/startkde", wtf? | 05:17 |

| dragonfly | i am trying to install kubuntu 14.04 dual boot with windows 7 . currently i have ubuntu 12.04 with windows 7, how do i upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to kubuntu 14.04 keeping windows intact? when i tried installing using bootable usb, and chose first option guided... it says it will install a separate partition.. please help.. | 08:36 |
| tanay111_ | chose the last option in installer menu...and chose the partion you want to install..... | 08:39 |
| dragonfly | tanay111_: but it says that it will install on entire hardisk. | 08:40 |
| dragonfly | i cant see any windows partition in the after install graph | 08:41 |
| dragonfly | tanay111_: kubuntu covers every thing using every other option except the first one | 08:41 |
| tanay111_ | i think you cant upgrade it to 14.04 from 12.04 directly. | 08:46 |
| tanay111_ | dragonfly | 08:46 |
| tanay111_ | from installer menu chose "Something else".. | 08:48 |
| === Tm_Tr is now known as Guest17709 | ||
| hateball | oh the dragonfly is gone | 09:07 |
| hateball | why wouldnt they just upgrade from within the installation I wonder | 09:07 |
| yossarianuk | I just don't understand how anyone can actually use unity - why is kubuntu so low on distrowatch.org.... | 09:11 |
| hateball | tanay111_: you can upgrade, altho not using regular release-upgrade until 14.04.1 | 09:11 |
| yossarianuk | cinnamon is ok - but its like a students cobbled it together in their spare time. | 09:11 |
| tanay111_ | hmm | 09:12 |

| rcw2 | had issues with kde parted, it aborted grow operations on two partitions. suggestions? | 12:13 |
| rcw2 | also, sometimes there is no sound throughout the system afaik | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, use gparted live cd/media to do your partitioning it's safer and more effective | 12:16 |
| rcw2 | oh | 12:18 |
| rcw2 | ? | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | that's been my experience | 12:19 |
| rcw2 | any thoughts on the sound issue? | 12:21 |
| rcw2 | can i reset the drivers somehow | 12:21 |
| rcw2 | without rebooting | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | what's your audio chip in alsamixer? | 12:22 |
| rcw2 | no-show | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | upper left | 12:23 |
| rcw2 | there's some issue, saying 'dummy output' | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | in alsamixer | 12:24 |
| rcw2 | gnome alsamixer is blank | 12:24 |
| rcw2 | nothing showing | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | why gnome alsamixer?\ | 12:24 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, didn't find a kde one | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | run aplay -l , pastebin it | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, the kde alsamixer is default on kubuntu-desktop | 12:26 |
| rcw2 | maybe theres a software conflict then http://pastebin.com/9r8uu6Yq | 12:27 |
| rcw2 | you think? | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | if you're still running gnome/ubuntu then #ubuntu is the place toi ask | 12:27 |
| rcw2 | its kubuntu | 12:28 |
| rcw2 | strange, muon is not allowing me to remove some packages | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, then remove gnome-alsamixer, and then run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there will be no output if the driver loads proiperly. Then run, sudo alsa force-reload, if you want to reboot, but there's no guarantee that last command will stick | 12:32 |
| rcw2 | i think there might be a bug in kubuntu similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qapt/+bug/833058 | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 833058 in qapt (Ubuntu) "Muon-updater doesn't ask for password" [Undecided,Fix released] | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | if you don't want to reboot | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, use sudo apt-get remove gnome-alsamixer in the terminal | 12:34 |
| hateball | rcw2: I have that bug, with regards to muon. So do it with apt-get instead | 12:34 |
| chgonzalez | hi there | 12:37 |

| reaper | it dos not pick it up the ktorrent | 12:45 |
| reaper | i tryed dowloading transmishion but its the same fire fox dos not pick it up | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | reaper, are you choosing the magnetic link or regular torrent file? | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | reaper, check the downloads arrow on firefox, you may have click on it to enable the torrentfile in ktorrent | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj | especially if you use kickasstorrents site | 12:51 |
| reaper | how do i do that | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | do you see the arrow pointing down on the right hand side of the menubar in FF?, that's the downloads library, open it to see if the torentfile is located there | 12:56 |
| reaper | no its not | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | when you choose a torrent, does a dialog box open asking what to do with the file ? | 13:00 |
| reaper | yes it dos but ktorrent is not there | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | do you get an option "open with" ? | 13:01 |
| reaper | yes but makes me look for the file | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | then look for ktorrent in usr then bin , or /usr/bin/ktorrent | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | ok got errands to run ...BBL | 13:03 |
| reaper | that woked thanks | 13:07 |
| reaper | any one now whats the beast kde op system | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | reaper, what kind of question is that in the kubuntu chat, the answer is kubuntu of course | 13:19 |

| rcw2 | how's grub restored in kubuntu 14.04 | 13:39 |
| hateball | !restoregrub | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | what did you do to grub? | 13:40 |
| ubottu | Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 13:40 |
| rcw2 | my root is /sda5, so do i run grub-install /dev/sda5 | 13:41 |
| rcw2 | or grub-install /dev/sda | 13:41 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, this happened during the kparted issue i might have explained earlier | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | then run sudo update-grub | 13:42 |
| rcw2 | rebooting to test | 13:43 |
| hateball | Hmmm, when I cut/paste files through redirected drives in krdc in 14.04 it sometimes... does not copy the files, but it deletes them anyhow | 13:45 |
| hateball | That's not really a nice behavior | 13:45 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, no, grub still doesn't show up. i see Realtec PCI media error and then some PXE info | 13:52 |
| rcw2 | but i can boot from bash1 menu restore cd | 13:52 |
| alin_ | hello | 13:53 |
| rcw2 | its not recognizing the harddrive as bootable? | 13:53 |
| hateball | you have to set the partition that has grub, to bootable | 13:58 |
| hateball | easy to miss if you are fiddling about with gparted | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, do you have a live cd OS? , if so use that to open a terminal and run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , X being like /dev/sda or some such | 14:00 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, not 14.04 only 13.10 on hand | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, no matter it will work | 14:01 |
| rcw2 | will try | 14:03 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, can't i run that now | 14:15 |

| rcw2 | grub-install | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | on live cd? | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | in the terminal | 14:16 |
| rcw2 | im in my normal OS, but as root, not user | 14:17 |
| rcw2 | but i see this grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | nope you can't run grub on a disk that's in use | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | youi have to run it in the terminal on a livecd | 14:18 |
| rcw2 | ah | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | or grub install at least, you can update-grub from the hdd , but install | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | not install | 14:23 |
| rcw2 | yeah, update-brug didn't work | 14:23 |
| rcw2 | from the hd | 14:24 |
| rcw2 | hdd | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, that's because yopu lost grub when you were repartitioning | 14:24 |
| rberg_ | "nope you can't run grub on a disk that's in use" wait what? that cant be right | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | rberg_, I qualified it with "install grub" if you read on | 14:33 |
| rberg_ | so you cant install grub on a disk thats in use? | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | you can run update-grub, but not grub-n=install | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | grub-install | 14:34 |
| rberg_ | you can definitively reinstall the grub bootloader on a booted system | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | from a separate partition running a different OS | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | rberg_, perhaps you could tell us the method then, since your'e so definitive about it | 14:41 |
| rberg_ | sure.. so you are booted into the system directly and need to reinstall the bootloader? and this is a msdos partition table or gpt with a grub-bios area? | 14:42 |
| rberg_ | also I dont know anything about working with other OS's.. so if you have windowds installed dont do this.. to install grub to sda you would run just ' grub install /dev/sda' | 14:44 |
| rberg_ | err ' grub-install /dev/sda' | 14:44 |
| rberg_ | with /boot mounted | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | dunno since he repartitioned and lost grub, so I advised him to run grub-install from a terminal on his live-cd | 14:45 |
| rberg_ | ohh is {s,}he booted to a live cd? | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | grub-install /dev/sdX , X being the partiton that grub was previously located | 14:46 |
| rberg_ | fwiw I just reinstalled grub on the system I am typing on "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" "Installation finished. No error reported." | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | rberg_, where would run grub-install from on a booted OS that doesn't have a grub installation, other than a live cd/media or a separate OS on the same HDD | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | rberg_, fine if you're already booted into an OS that had grub installed when you booted | 14:51 |
| rberg_ | ohh I thought you were booted already.. my mistake.. you can boot another linux os and chroot in the one you want to boot | 14:51 |
| rberg_ | you will have to bind mount proc sys and dev before chrooting | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | no, that's why he needs the livecd , well it amounts to the same thing , only more complicated using the chroot method | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | then there's boot-repair which also works quite well | 14:55 |
| rberg_ | ahh never used that.. I should check it out | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | B-R saved my setup a few times already | 14:58 |
| rberg_ | I have a pxe / nfsroot setup over here.. so not totally typical | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | as long as you know where grub was installed, then most likely the livecd with terminal will reinstall grub easily enough | 15:02 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, ? | 15:02 |
| rcw2 | sorry, i tried that but it gave an error about being impossible :o | 15:03 |
| rcw2 | something about /boot/... | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | something about doesn't help me | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, what did you repartition and for what reason , we need more details | 15:04 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, i have sda2 which contains sda5 (root) and sda6(home). i was just trying to grow both sda5 and 6, but got errors, then grub menu was gone | 15:05 |
| rcw2 | i also deleted a couple other older installations that were on sda2 under different partitions | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, do you have windows installed anywhgere on theat drive? | 15:06 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, i did, but i just deleted that partition | 15:06 |
| rcw2 | as well | 15:06 |
| rberg_ | any more info about the errors you got while growing the partitions? | 15:07 |
| rcw2 | rberg_, just generic kparted had errors... | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | thengrub got wiped out with the windows delete, most likely anyway | 15:08 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, hm, well given the info i gave you, where should the boot flag be, on sda2 or sda5? | 15:09 |
| rcw2 | and do you have more suggestions for restoring grub | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | just sda | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | get your partitons fixed first if you can, using gparted live cd, that's the best method IME | 15:11 |
| rcw2 | fixed? | 15:11 |
| rcw2 | what is wrong with them? | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | do you have them allocated etc and resized to your staisfaction before installing grub | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | satisfaction | 15:13 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj, no, but i am dd'ing backups right now before i do that | 15:16 |
| rcw2 | do you think you will be around a bit? | 15:17 |
| rcw2 | a bit longer | 15:17 |
| rcw2 | can i dd while using the partition | 15:22 |
| rcw2 | the source partition | 15:22 |

| Guest522 | hello | 16:06 |
| rcw2 | hi, it seems like windows was originally installed, then kubuntu added... the main partition is shown as msdos. | 16:24 |
| rcw2 | shouldn't matter though, right? how can i get grub going again | 16:25 |
| rcw2 | im in live cd and ive mounted the root drive and run grub-install there, but it says Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | wrong path rcw2 , delete that /boot partition, then make it an ext and install grub to it's new device name | 16:32 |
| rcw2 | delete /boot on sda5? | 16:34 |
| rcw2 | delete the entire partition? | 16:34 |
| rcw2 | or directory? | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | why do you have a boot partition, there's no need | 16:35 |
| rcw2 | ok, i copied over the partition | 16:35 |
| rcw2 | how do i start up from there | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | copied ? | 16:36 |
| rcw2 | with dd | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | why? | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | you don't need a boot partition | 16:37 |
| rcw2 | well at first to have a backup but to start over outside the boot partition | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj | no boot backup needed | 16:37 |
| rcw2 | how do i skip the boot partition | 16:38 |
| rcw2 | or must i delete it | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | delete it then reallocte it as an ext partition | 16:38 |
| rcw2 | can i just remove the /boot from fstab and not delete it | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | well you have enough information now to make a decision on your own | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | I'm finished with suggestions | 16:42 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj: thanks for getting me this far | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | stop fooling with partitions if you aren't familiar with it, ask for help before doing so...that's my advice | 16:51 |
| rcw2 | that's what i want to do, stop modifying partitions and just have the machine go straight to the ext4 kubuntu partition, ignoring any windows bootloader if there still is any | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | is this machne 3yrs old or less? | 16:54 |
| rcw2 | yes | 16:54 |
| rcw2 | but the harddrive may be older | 16:54 |

| BluesKaj | rcw2, as I suggested , run a livecd, open a terminal, sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | then run sudo update-grub | 17:10 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj: yes, i did that but i get the /boot/grub not readable error then you suggested i modify partitions. | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | rcw2, do you have gparted live cd , you can fix the sda /boot partititon by using the check/repair option | 17:19 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj: yes, i used that to resize the drives. any other info on check/repair before i boot into it? | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | the reason is you used dd to backup the partition and i'm sure the sizes werent't exactly the same from if to of , therefore the check option on those partitions youi dd'd | 17:22 |
| rcw2 | BluesKaj: so i might fix everything in gparted | 17:23 |
| rcw2 | without doing anything else | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 17:23 |
| rcw2 | question on dd? why would the partition sizes need to be exactly the same | 17:24 |
| lordievader | Because dd is a bitcopy utility. | 17:25 |
| rcw2 | brb | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | they are just copies atm , once they are rezised then they become actual partitions afaik | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | her messed up his partitions, not researching first how to do it correctly , now he lost grub , but can't install it because he's getting boot errors | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | he messed | 17:28 |

| lordievader | Ah check. | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | the partititon table is messed up | 17:31 |
| lordievader | Oeh, that is less. I've had that once. There is not really a simple way of getting that back. Supposedly this is easier with GPT disk since the partition table is in two places. | 17:38 |
| BluesKaj | afraid he may have to sacrifice one of the logicals | 17:40 |

| TBotNik | All, can not get movies to play on my kubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop. Wrote this up at: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/201626-video-player-2.html#post951814 | 19:29 |
| TBotNik | All, hope someone out here know how to unravel all the player/codec issues, cause never tried any AV stuff before! | 19:30 |
| bprompt | TBotNik: install mplayer for one and also install ffmpeg and libavcodec | 20:38 |
| bprompt | I think that'd include all or most codecs and any player using mplayer as their backengine will play the video | 20:39 |

| rcw2 | didn't see a release date for 14.10 on the wikipedia page | 21:51 |
| rberg_ | 14.10 is a date :) | 21:59 |
| rberg_ | or most of a date | 21:59 |
| DarthFrog | October, 2014. | 22:23 |
| DarthFrog | Ususally in the 3rd week of the month, if I recall correctly. | 22:23 |
| genii | DarthFrog: ? | 22:25 |
| genii | Oh, release day, yes. | 22:25 |
| genii | Third Thursday of the month usually about 6pm GMT | 22:26 |
| DarthFrog | Correct. | 22:26 |
| DarthFrog | Which would be Oct. 20th this year. | 22:26 |
| genii | I'll have to remember to book the release party venue again :) | 22:27 |
| DarthFrog | No time like the present. Do it, then it's done and off your plate. | 22:28 |
| genii | Yup, true. I'm actually headed there tonight to watch the hockey game, I'll take care of it then. | 22:29 |
| DarthFrog | Which game? | 22:30 |
| genii | Kings-Rangers Game 1 | 22:30 |
| DarthFrog | I just reminded the wife about that, she responded, "Five o'clock and the PVR is set." :-) | 22:31 |

| TBotNik | All, Repeating request!! Can not get movies to play on my kubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop. Wrote this up at: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/201626-video-player-2.html#post951814 All, hope someone out here knows how to unravel all the player/codec issues, cause never tried any AV stuff before! Wilee-nilee, from the "#ubuntu" channel had me load the restricted extras with HOWTO at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats but loading | 22:35 |
| TBotNik | these has not changed the operation of any of my loaded players. Still getting all the original errors! Also "bprompt" from the "#kubuntu" channel suggested I do a fresh install of mplayer, ffmpeg and libavcodec so did so with cmd "apt-get -f install mplayer libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg321 mpg123 libflac++6 ffmpeg totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert libmad0 libjpeg-progs flac | 22:35 |
| TBotNik | faac faad sox ffmpeg2theora libmpeg2-4 uudeview flac libmpeg3-1 mpeg3-utils mpegdemux liba52-0.7.4-dev libquicktime2". I had to leave libavcodec off as it kept erroring with "not found", so do not have the right repository for this or it has been version superceded! | 22:35 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | TBotNik: alright | 22:35 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | I'm going to recommend you install phonon-vlc-backent | 22:36 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | d | 22:36 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | er | 22:36 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | sudo apt-get install phonon-vlc-backend --install-suggests | 22:36 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | then, configure Phonon to use VLC instead of GStreamer for backend | 22:36 |
| === pc08 is now known as shakal | ||
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: What is repository, getting "Unable to locate package phonon-vlc-backend | 22:40 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | oh dear | 22:40 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | one sec | 22:40 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | TBotNik: oh, wait | 22:41 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-vlc --install-suggests | 22:41 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | TBotNik: ^ | 22:41 |
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: I found cmd "apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer0.10-gnonlin gstreamer0.10-sdl gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly totem-plugins-extra gstreamer-dbus-media-service gstreamer-tools ubuntu-restricted-extras ttf-mscorefonts-installer" at: http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/ | 22:43 |
| TBotNik | Will that do the trick? | 22:43 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | well, if you must use GStreamer, I suppose... | 22:43 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | personally, I still recommend installing phonon-backend-vlc | 22:43 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | as VLC can play nearly anything | 22:43 |
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: I checked in synaptic and VLC was already install the the "phonon-backend-vlc" was listed so have it installing now. I found a HOWTO at: https://wirejungle.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/switch-to-phonon-vlc-for-better-sound-in-kde/ Is this a good one to follow? | 22:50 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | Er, I don't have the time ATM to read it, but I have a quick guide... | 22:51 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | Open system settings, then click multimedia, then audio and video settings, and finally, click the "Backend" Tab | 22:53 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | then, prefer the VLC backend | 22:53 |
| el_le | i recently installed an nvidia card + the drivers from their website. I installed kde-full on ubuntu, and it's freezing up when loading. which logs should i be looking at? | 22:56 |
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: Hey phonon installed so I went to: 'KDE Start' + 'Settings' + 'System Settings' + 'Hardware' + 'Multimedia' + 'Audio and Video Settings' and when I click the 'Backend' tab only GStreamer is available and there is not "ADD" option to bring in VLC! | 22:56 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | odd | 22:57 |
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: Any suggestions? | 22:57 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | well, then follow that guide you found... | 22:57 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | or try running the command I posted | 22:57 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-vlc --install-suggests | 22:57 |
| TheFakeazneD525 | in konsole | 22:57 |
| TBotNik | Ah, thought I already ran the command from synaptic, but did not! | 23:00 |
| TBotNik | Ah, thought I already ran the command from synaptic, but did not! Now I get "Latest version" when I run CLI | 23:01 |
| TBotNik | Reopening the Setting dialog | 23:01 |
| TBotNik | TheFakeazneD525: It was there now, but have to reboot, so will let you know if I make the round! | 23:03 |
| el_le | so any one have an idea why i can't use kde with nvidia drivers? | 23:58 |
| rcw2 | using supergrubdisk.org i get to a prompt where i can type startx which starts my kubuntu as root. are there options for startx to attempt to login as user | 23:59 |
