[06:02] <kaidelong> kdesu is missing
[06:02] <kaidelong> does kubuntu use something else, or did it somehow get removed?
[06:03] <kaidelong> I cannot install updates right now because the update manager can't get authorization
[06:04] <valorie> kaidelong: I did updates today
[06:04] <valorie> how are you doing them?
[06:05] <kaidelong> valorie: the built in GUI update notifier/manager
[06:05] <kaidelong> Muon, I think it's called
[06:05] <kaidelong> Muon won't let me install updates
[06:05] <valorie> interesting
[06:06] <kaidelong> this is the default account generated by the installer so it should have wheel, well I know it has wheel because sudo works
[06:06] <kaidelong> there's no kdesu on my system so maybe that's the problem but it might just be because kubuntu does something else
[06:06] <valorie> have you checked launchpad to see if this has been reported?
[06:06] <kaidelong> how do I do that?
[06:06]  * valorie goes to check for kdesu
[06:07] <valorie> oh, what version of kubuntu are you updating?
[06:07] <valorie> I would do `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` but I'm in vivid
[06:08] <kaidelong> trusty tahr LTS
[06:09] <kaidelong> apparently kdesu is missing because kubuntu uses kdesudo, and that's there, so that's not the problem
[06:09] <valorie> right, I have only kdesudo
[06:09] <kaidelong> oh things can't connect to pulseaudio anymore
[06:09] <kaidelong> I wonder if the problem is that dbus crashed and I have to reboot
[06:10] <valorie> so try: `sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade` or `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` if you don't want to upgrade applications
[06:11] <valorie> do this in yakuake, konsole or one of the consoles
[06:12] <kaidelong> did that now, so the updates are done at least
[06:12] <valorie> cool
[06:12] <valorie> you might also try, in the cli: ubuntu-bug muon
[06:12] <valorie> and report on the updater
[06:14] <valorie> it is simply the best way to report bugs IMO
[06:14] <kaidelong> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qapt/+bug/875657
[06:15] <valorie> fix released - so someone hasn't done a backport
[06:15] <valorie> you might add a comment to that effect
[06:15] <valorie> unless you got an update of muon-updater in that load of updates
[06:16] <valorie> which would be ironic
[06:19] <kaidelong> the troubling thing is that the updater had worked in the past
[06:19] <kaidelong> today is the first time I saw this behavior
[06:20] <valorie> did you mark that you are affected?
[06:20] <valorie> and add a comment?
[06:25] <kaidelong> someone reported a year ago that the bug is still extant in 14.04 LTS
[06:25] <kaidelong> I'm not sure why this bug is marked fixed
[06:27] <kaidelong> mm, this might be a different bug, polkit-kde-1 is installed here already
[06:28] <kaidelong> I think some daemon or service is down, pulseaudio is not working either
[06:29] <valorie> you said dbus had crashed
[06:29] <valorie> might be time to logout
[06:29] <kaidelong> well, I said I suspected it
[06:29] <kaidelong> I don't know how to check that
[06:29] <valorie> ok
[06:29] <valorie> they might know in #kde
[06:29] <kaidelong> something in /var/log presumably
[06:34] <kaidelong> KDE can't reboot or shutdown right now
[06:34] <kaidelong> I guess I'll do it from the console
[06:34] <kaidelong> definitely seems like there has been a dbus problem
[06:45] <kaidelong> okay well
[06:45] <kaidelong> something severe happened some point in the past
[06:45] <kaidelong> pulseaudio no longer works
[07:02] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:34] <soee> good morning
[10:08] <rosco_y> Would it be helpful to set a fixed IP address when wanting to share a MySQL server between two desktops?
[10:09] <v3nd3tta``> rosco_y, you could reference the local dns. hostname.local
[10:09] <rosco_y> v3nd3tta``: ty, Can you tell me how to do that?
[10:10] <rosco_y> ALERT:  (NOOB NOOOB NOOB)
[10:10] <v3nd3tta``> get a terminal open on the host
[10:10] <v3nd3tta``> type in "hostname"
[10:10] <rosco_y> .
[10:10] <rosco_y> ok, it's "mongooseHP"
[10:11] <v3nd3tta``> type in that on the other pc with a "mongooseHP.local"
[10:11] <rosco_y> in a terminal?
[10:11] <v3nd3tta``> if your router uses .local (and not (.fritz.box) or something like that
[10:11] <v3nd3tta``> no just where you want to use the mysql db
[10:11] <rosco_y> I haven't done anything special in the router
[10:12] <rosco_y> are you saying to use "mongooseHP.local" in the mysql connection string?
[10:12] <v3nd3tta``> hope you get it right.
[10:13] <v3nd3tta``> should be right. ping that address first
[10:13] <rosco_y> :) cool
[10:13] <v3nd3tta``> from the other host
[10:13] <v3nd3tta``> and you should have that "host" always available when you want to use it.
[10:13] <v3nd3tta``> brb
[10:13] <rosco_y> I can ping it from the guest:   :))?
[10:15] <rosco_y> I think I'm getting close--the server is talking back and not letting me in :)
[10:16] <rosco_y> gotta find my coffee cup.....brb
[10:19] <rosco_y> I'm getting "unknown database errors when I'm trying to login
[10:20] <rosco_y> well, specifically, "unknown database 'mongooseHP.local'
[10:20] <rosco_y> my command line was: mysql -u ross -p -server mongooseHP.local -D SUDOCUBE
[10:21] <rosco_y> my database is "SUDOCUBE"
[10:21] <rosco_y> I guess it could be my local instance of mysql that's prompting me for a password...
[10:22] <rosco_y> maybe my progress is more percieved than actual
[10:22] <rosco_y> I'll go see if anyone is awake in #mysql :)
[12:10] <rosco_y> when I try to telnet to a pc on my ethernet, I get: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.   How do I fix this?
[12:41] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:17] <Jiyuhen> Hi all!
[13:18] <Jiyuhen> QQ which I cannot find the answer too. As it seems, my root drive is full and I have no Idea why
[13:18] <Jiyuhen> How can I check, what is going on with root?
[14:03] <host127> Hey! Yaffs not sets chattr on files like ext. Why? May it be to prevent you loose control? :0
[14:03] <host127> STUPID LIARS!
[15:02] <Fricobi> Hi?
[15:02] <Fricobi> Is anybody here?
[15:03] <mparillo> !ask
[15:09] <Walex> Fricobi: you!
[15:10] <Fricobi> hehe, i know
[15:11] <Fricobi> well, i've got a question for anyone who'll be clever than i am with computers...
[15:13] <Fricobi> i've got installed in my laptop (dell inspiron 5521) Windows 8.1 and OpenSuse 13.1, and i want to remove OpenSuse 13.1 just for install Kubuntu in its space. I've read that i can delete the OpenSuse partitions from Windows session (obiously) but... what happens with Grub partition?
[15:14] <yossarianuk> Fricobi: you are better off using the kubuntu installer to replace existing opensuse install
[15:15] <Fricobi> yossarianuk: i've thought about it, and remove the partitions from kubuntu installer, but also the 9Mb grub partition?
[15:16] <yossarianuk> Fricobi: i.e the bios boot partition ?
[15:16] <yossarianuk> (I assume you are using GPT but no UEFI  then?)
[15:16] <yossarianuk> 9MB would be too small to use as /boot
[15:21] <Fricobi> yossarianuk: I don't know, i had to change the boot mode from UEFI (proper of Windows 8.1) to a mode called "legacy", which let me then start my OpenSuse SO automatically (and, if i wanted to enter to my Windows 8.1 SO, i had to press F12 to the boot setup for choosing UEFI mode boot)
[15:22] <Walex> Fricobi: you misunderstand maybe how things work with GNU/Linux systems...
[15:23] <Walex> Fricobi: Linux filetrees like the '/' one of a distribution get installed to _block devices_ not to "partitions". Partitions contain a block device. You don't need to delete a partition to overwrite an old SUSE filetree with a new Kubuntu one.
[15:24] <Walex> Fricobi: because installation overwrites whichever block device you point it to.
[15:24] <yossarianuk> i don't get why you needed legacy to boot opensuse - its fully UEFI compatible...
[15:25] <Walex> Fricobi: where "block device" means something similar to "fixed size file".
[15:28] <Fricobi> Walex: So, if i start the Kubuntu installer and i select the places where Suse is installed, it will overwrite kubuntu over suse and it will be already done?
[15:30] <Fricobi> and it doesn't matter anything with the boot setup?
[15:41] <Walex> Fricobi: the boot setup is mostly just another filetree.
[15:42] <Walex> Fricobi: if you have something installed in some partition/block device you can just overwrite it.
[15:43] <Walex> Fricobi: the installer most likely will tell you there is an existing filetree, and ask you whether you want to overwrite it.

[19:07] <georgelappies> hi all
[19:07] <georgelappies> when will 4.14.3 be backported to 14.04?
[20:17] <bryn> hello all
[20:18] <kaidelong> can someone recommend a good package to give ubuntu nice coloring in bash?
[20:18] <kaidelong> like on gentoo and kin
[20:18] <kaidelong> kubuntu*
[20:19] <kaidelong> I could switch away from bash or konsole if that is neccessary
[20:19] <lordievader> kaidelong: Write a .bashrc file?
[20:20] <bprompt> kaidelong:    "nice" coloring in bash?   wasss dat?
[20:20] <kaidelong> no package for that in the repos?
[20:20] <kaidelong> bprompt: IE, ls shows symbolic links in blue
[20:20] <bprompt> I mean...  hmmm  konsole does a lot of that already, even background image and transparency
[20:20] <kaidelong> mmm, konsole gives me monochrome output right now, maybe it's a konsole setting that I need to change?
[20:21] <bprompt> kaidelong:      those are configurable in "ls"..... it has a .rc file for that... where you set what colors you want for whatever extension or folders
[20:21] <bprompt> lemme poke the manpages
[20:21] <lordievader> ~everything in Linux is configurable.
[20:22] <kaidelong> yeah but part of why I'm using kubuntu is that I really don't want to have to configure it myself and would rather use packages, I guess there aren't any in the repos though, couldn't find anything suggestive with apt-cache
[20:22] <kaidelong> I guess I'll just see if I can find some .rcs in a tar or something
[20:22] <bprompt> kaidelong:    but what you're referring, is not a "terminal" option per se, so much as an "ls" command configuration
[20:25] <kaidelong> is there a KDE command line tool that sends the clipboard to stdout?
[20:26] <bprompt> kaidelong:    yes, "paste" :)
[20:26] <bprompt> or ctrl-v or shift-ctrl-insert
[20:26] <bprompt> or.. shift-insert rather
[20:34] <bprompt> kaidelong:    http://linux.die.net/man/5/dir_colors
[20:34] <rberg> kaidelong: 'xsel -o
[20:34] <rberg> 'xsel -o' does that
[20:34] <bprompt> kaidelong:    though i must say, I don't have one myself.... thoug in the past I've edited it to change colors of ... symlinks usually, or some extensions
