Coldfusionstormi don't quite remember that is some time ago04:53
Coldfusionstormvyt ueah04:53
ColdfusionstormBut yeah i think04:53
Coldfusionstormi did not use a CD,USB, device04:54
jussimaybe try reinstall it to ensure you have all the dependencies04:54
Coldfusionstormhmm04:55
Coldfusionstormjust the login imanager or the entire Kubuntu package?04:55
jussithe entire kubuntu (it wont reinstall everything, just the meta package and any missing deps)04:57
jussisudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop04:57

Coldfusionstormfrom a Kubuntu05:06
Coldfusionstorm750JW:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm05:06
ColdfusionstormStill no output05:06
jussiyes, although you may want to also install the sddm package, as kubuntu now uses sddm05:06
Coldfusionstormif i download a bootable Plsama 5 disk05:07
Coldfusionstormi assume everything is configed correct from the get go right?05:07

Arencurious why this has been allowed to remiain unsolved given that it affects every distro & version17:49

lordievaderAren: "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 " is not a permission error.18:11
lordievaderAren: Add your findings ;)18:12
Arendistro installation error prtman crashed exit error code 141, would like to chat with somebody about this to solve19:00
mparilloIs anybody dual+ booting. I loaded Kubuntu on a machine with Linux Mint, and GRUB knew all the details about Linux Mint, but listed Kubuntu first as Ubuntu. Is this normal? Yes, I know there is a GRUB editor, but it is mostly curiousity, as I have not installed Ubuntu since Unity.19:02
lordievadermparillo: Yes, supposedly it is rather cumbersome to get that to say Kubuntu.19:05
keithzgmparillo: Kubuntu being listed as Ubuntu is normal. In many sense they *are* the same distro, after all (just a different primary desktop metapackage, but in theory you could have both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed)19:05
lordievadermparillo: Ask sitter.19:05
keithzgI thought we did get it saying Kubuntu at one point, though?19:05
lordievaderkeithzg: Yes, but it was too much effort to continue that trend.19:06
keithzglordievader: Ahhh, fair enough19:06
keithzgThere *are* a lot of interlocking parts to deal with.19:06
* keithzg is content to just see "Ubuntu" and mentally read "*ubuntu" ;)19:07
Arenpartman crashed on kubuntu ubuntu & vivid installation on HP sleekbook4 running windows 8, stock machine. Partman crashed with exit coded 141.  Has been reported under multiple bug reports but no definitive resolution has happened19:09
Arenwould like to get my install straight & work with someone on a better installation script to improve options clarity documetation, any interest? A goog contct?19:10
mparilloTY keithzg and lordievader. I commented on that in my Beta 1 RC 1 test report, but I did not want to open a bug until I knew more about it.19:12
ArenI can't imagine ubuntu kubuntu or vivid getting to much of a following with all distros replicating the same installation bug being so mishandled & unaddressed everywhere, shame because other than a successful boot taking forever it's pretty solid19:22
keithzgAren: Vivid ain't exactly been released yet.19:23
Arenagreed, but the stable version should be19:23
Arentried all the distros to see if this problem existed in all & it does19:24
keithzgAren: Well, I haven't had issues with installing 14.10 on systems personally, so it's not *universal* at least. Do you have a bug report in particular that details the issues as you've experienced them?19:25
BluesKajAren, I haven't encountered that bug during 15.04 installation , either via iso or network upgrade19:25
Arenthere have been mulitple bug reports filed with all distros & i believe they have been marked as solved (or not) in error.  Do you want me to go find all the bug reports related to the part man exit 141 error?19:26
keithzgAren: If you want us to help at all, pointing to at least *one* would be useful.19:27
ArenI have eproduced it consistently on a stock hp envy sleekbook 4 laptop running standard windows 8 with no virus protectio installed19:27
ArenOK, I can do that.  I 'm here to help too19:28
lordievaderAren: Wait, you keep explicitly saying Windows 8, do you use Wubi?19:28
Arenwas trying to understand what was needed.19:28
Arenwubi is in the install script for install I guess, but as far as I can tel it should not be called. I don't even care too much about preserving the current windows install19:30
keithzgAren: Naw, Wubi is an install method where you run the installer from within Windows, rather than rebooting into the installer directly.19:30
ArenIt seems to be a problem with ownership and permissions values because it can't create write to directories and files during install so exits19:31
Arenno, running from iso usb during restart or reboot19:31
keithzgOkay, are you using UEFI or legacy?19:32
Arenlegacy19:32
Arenbooting up, going to boot selection picking usb drive19:32
mparilloAren: Anytime I see Win8, I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI19:32
mparilloWhoops: keithzg beat me.19:32
keithzgIt's possible the installer is having issues then if the drive is using GPT, since if you boot the installer in legacy rather than UEFI it can't actually understand that last time I checked (I could be remembering wrong though).19:34
keithzgAren: So I'd definitely try booting from the install disc as UEFI, see if that allows it to actually manipulate the partitions. I'm not 100% sure that's the issue, but I wouldn't be surprised.19:38
Arenthanks i'll check that out now,19:41
