[03:48] <Dr|Craig> I'm trying to install kubuntu on virtualbox but the GUI keeps crashing
[05:14] <arghnetubuntu> anyone know an easy way to load khali lin. inside ubunutu? trying to get an athreos chipset into monitor mode
[05:29] <valorie> !atheros
[05:30] <valorie> pfff
[05:33] <arghnetubuntu> im new to this, i know the chipset supports it. do i need to flash a custom firmware on it?
[05:33] <arghnetubuntu> its a TP link $20 pos
[05:34] <arghnetubuntu> and thank you for the link
[05:50] <valorie> arghnetubuntu: I've not needed to set such things up manually for eons so I'm not much help
[05:51] <valorie> but notice the "modprobe" stuff
[05:51] <valorie> which pokes the needed stuff into the kernel as I recall
[05:51] <valorie> you might find more help in #ubuntu where there are more people
[05:51] <valorie> !pm
[05:53] <arghnetubuntu> thank you
[05:54] <valorie> you are most welcome; that's why we're here
[05:55] <valorie> to help one another out
[05:55] <arghnetubuntu> much appreciated
[07:09] <dubis> Hi, Is it normal kjots is no more in KDEPIM?
[07:15] <valorie> !info kjots
[07:16] <valorie> dubis: I don't recall it being part of PIM?
[07:16] <valorie> I remember using it, but it was standalone
[07:21] <dubis> !info kjots
[07:22] <dubis> where can i find source of kjots?
[07:25] <dubis> I find that about https://sites.google.com/site/bb1001dd/linux-hacks-and-patches/kjots-insert-image-patch but I've got error with KStandardDirs object should be remplaced by FileLocate or something else
[07:47] <valorie> dubis: you can get source for any package just by enabling that in your sources list
[07:47] <valorie> !source
[07:47] <valorie> now if you want it from git, you'll clone it from the kde sources, not our packages
[07:48] <valorie> but start with our source package
[07:48] <valorie> niters all
[07:49] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:49] <dubis> valorie thanks
[07:59] <dubis> valorie: we told me about a new tools project do you have any info?
[10:30] <akasic> hi, when using firefox and clicking videos in youtube, sometimes, the video just opens the audio and plays over the  last one, any help? thnx
[10:31] <akasic> there are no other tabs opened
[11:36] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:42] <tucnak> hiho there, I just got my kubuntu 15.04 broken :\
[12:42] <tucnak> basically, it boots as expected, but gets stuck on fancy loading bar after login
[12:42] <tucnak> I tried purging / reinstalling kubuntu-desktop
[12:43] <tucnak> did some weird things I don't remember to sddm
[12:43] <tucnak> I'd love you guys to at least give me a clue to log file, which might contain useful information related to after-login boot process
[12:45] <hateball> tucnak: you could try moving your user config to a backup location so it generates new files
[12:46] <tucnak> hateball: you mean .config, or .kde5 or whatever?
[12:46] <hateball> tucnak: that is, change to a vtty, log in, move the contents of ~/config/kde to somewhere
[12:47] <hateball> tucnak: yeah I am not on plasma5 now so I am unsure about the location
[12:47] <hateball> but it should be in ~/.config iirc
[12:48] <hateball> on kde4.x it's in ~/.kde/ but I think it moved in plasma5
[12:48] <tucnak> hateball: gimme a while
[13:00] <tucnak> hateball: danke, it workd
[13:02] <yossarianuk> hi - does anyone here remember the name of an opensource game which I used to play on Linux years (at least 5+) ago - there were no graphics - it was based in cave and you controlled a blind bat? you controlled purely by sound ....
[13:03] <Pici> no.. but it sounds kinda neat
[13:03] <hateball> tucnak: cool, hopefully you didnt lose any data
[13:03] <hateball> tucnak: at any rate it's still there in the backup dir
[13:04] <lordievader> yossarianuk: Sounds pretty cool indeed.
[13:05] <yossarianuk> lordievader: pici: it was in an odd way... - perfect to play at work (no one will know your playing..)
[13:05] <lordievader> Hehe
[13:05] <lordievader> yossarianuk: If you remember do let me know.
[13:05] <Pici> yossarianuk: well, if you're looking for cli games, theres the bsdgames package, which has a lot of old favorites. theres also nethack.
[13:12] <yossarianuk> Pici: cheers, it may have been SDL based. (just no graphics..)
[13:12] <Pici> ah
[13:13] <yossarianuk> _may be wrong..)
[13:40] <akasic> hi all, i cant format an external hdd, i get the next error:  mkdosfs: failed whilst writing reserved sector
[14:39] <Das_> Good Day! I am using Kubuntu 14.04 LTS. With KDE 4.13.3 installed. Now: I would like to install the newly released Digikam 4.12.0 on my machine. Is this possible without loosing the LTS "Status"? Thanks in advance!
[15:03] <ShadowX> The network keeps saying setting network address
[15:03] <ShadowX> but doesn't connect
[15:03] <ShadowX> does anybody know how to fix this?
[17:16] <alvin> I'm trying to do a 'manual partitioning'. But how? I've created the necessary volumes (LVM). They are prepared, but how can I show them to the installer?
[17:16] <alvin> In other words, I want to tell the installer what logical volume to use for /root and swap,...
[17:18] <lordievader> alvin: The installer should list them.
[17:19] <alvin> Hmm. It doesn't. Is there a way to reload the installer?
[17:19] <alvin> I'll try pressing back.
[17:20] <lordievader> alvin: Go all the way back to the options on how to partition the disk (full, lvm, manual, etc)
[17:20] <alvin> lordievader: Ok. you are absolutely right! I went back and used manual again. Now they are all visible
[17:23] <alvin> EFI Dual-boot with encrypted LVM. There are easier things, but it looks good. I can't seem to point the Windows EFI partition to /boot/efi, but the installer *might* pick that one up I hope.
[17:24] <lordievader> I'm running an encrypted lvm spread over two disks ;)
[17:25] <alvin> Never tried that one. Both disks have to be opened before loading LVM then?
[17:26] <lordievader> Luckily not. Else  systemd couldn't unlock the other disk.
[17:27] <lordievader> It unlocks the ssd first where the rootfs is on, it mounts root and unlocks the other disk with the key which resides on the rootfs.
[17:27] <alvin> wow
[17:28] <alvin> and the other disk is a normal disk? Don't you have performance issues when using both types in the same volume group?
[17:28] <alvin> Or am I behind the times?
[17:29] <lordievader> Performance issues?
[17:29] <lordievader> I specify by hand on wich disk every lv goes.
[17:29] <alvin> Ah, nice. Never done that either.
[17:30] <alvin> Well, it worked. Sort of. There's a grub menu. I can still boot Windows. But on booting Kubuntu there's a blank screen and the monitors go to sleep. Something must be missing.
[17:31] <lordievader> Boot up without the splash and quiet kernel parameters.
[17:34] <alvin> Let's see
[17:37] <alvin> Well, that's more helpful. It can't find the root device /dev/kubuntu/root, which is normal, since the passphrase was not asked.
[17:41] <jaafar> Hey people
[17:41] <jaafar> I'm getting some plasma crashes when I resume from sleep and change monitors (disconnect my primary and use the laptop screen) at the same time
[17:41] <jaafar> unfortunately I can't file a bug because the reporting tool can't find debug symbols for plasma.  Is there a package I can install?
[17:45] <genii> !info kde-workspace-dbg
[17:45] <genii> Hm
[17:55] <krytarik> !info plasma-workspace-dbg
[17:57] <krytarik> !info kde-workspace-dbg trusty
[18:23] <jaafar> yay krytarik I'll give it a try
[18:24] <krytarik> jaafar: Depending on your Kubuntu version, of course.
[18:24] <jaafar> hmz it doesn't know that one
[18:24] <jaafar> vivid is my version
[18:24] <jonbeebe> i read something about kubuntu's futuer up in the air ... is it really possible that 15.10 will be the last official kubuntu release?
[18:24] <jonbeebe> *future
[18:25] <krytarik> No.
[18:25] <jonbeebe> or is that just a bunch of hyperbole on the internet
[18:25] <krytarik> Yep.
[18:25] <jaafar> hmz, OK plasma, but:
[18:25] <jaafar> "plasma-workspace-dbg is already the newest version."
[18:25] <jaafar> so it's got it? or something
[18:29] <krytarik> jonbeebe: Well, for the record, almost *everything* is possible - some things are just less likely. :P
[18:30] <jonbeebe> cool, good to know
[19:20] <Alumin> coming from 12.04 LTS, I updated my laptop to 15.04 and noticed a few missing features and a lot of hard-lock crashes.  It's kinda reminiscent of the early days of KDE 4.x.  :)  I was wondering if there was a bit Qt version jump from 14.10 to 15.04
[19:21] <Alumin> the _real_ question I'm asking, though, is whether there was jump going into 14.04 LTS.  My concern here is that I'm about to upgrade my mom's computer from an ancient version (don't ask, heh) to 14.04 and while I can navigate around some instability, she won't be able to
[19:23] <Alumin> I would think/hope not, for an LTS release, but since I haven't used it myself I figured it'd be worth asking
[19:23] <krytarik> Alumin: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15.04
[19:25] <Alumin> I guess that might explain it
[19:25] <krytarik> Yep. :)
[19:26] <alvin> Alumin: Try the packports. http://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-532-and-frameworks-5120-backported-kubuntu-1504 It'll give you a more stable experience.
[19:26] <Alumin> alvin: for my own part, I'm willing to blame the hardware.  That laptop is oooooooold
[19:26] <Alumin> I'll just go to 14.10 and then try 15.10 when it comes out
[19:27] <krytarik> !14.10
[19:27] <Alumin> I can fly by the seat of my pants.  I'm really just concerned for my mom
[19:27] <Alumin> 14.04 I mean
[19:27] <Alumin> the LTS
[19:28] <alvin> Hmm, the LTS is pretty stable, yes.
[19:28] <Alumin> I need something that does a thousand things and maybe explodes in my face occasionally
[19:28] <Alumin> she needs something that does three things and (almost) never burps :)
[19:31] <alvin> email, surfing, and?
[19:32] <krytarik> Small games. :P
[19:32] <krytarik> Or office stuff.
[19:35] <Alumin> nah, basically just Web browsing
[19:35] <Alumin> email is Web browsing for her :)
[19:35] <Alumin> I haven't shown her games yet
[19:35] <krytarik> lol
[19:35] <Alumin> dude
[19:35] <Alumin> she's not a gamer _at all_, not that type
[19:35] <Alumin> but she got so addicted to Tetris for the NES back in the day
[19:36] <Alumin> it was cute and scary at the same time
[19:36] <Alumin> I'm afraid what'll happen if she discovers Frozen Bubble
[19:39] <Alumin> she's a Craigslist master
[20:14] <xj3xx> hello
[20:15] <lordievader> o/
[21:36] <danielle331> Hi. How do I disable automatic login?
[21:36] <danielle331> From the command line
[21:36] <finetundra__> why not a desktop session?
[21:37] <danielle331> Cause my x.org is broken and this is the first step to solving that problem
[21:37] <finetundra__> oh gotcha
[21:37] <danielle331> And I am In a strange country with a laptop battery about to die and a bar about to kick me out
[21:39] <finetundra__> danielle331: oh god.
[21:39] <danielle331> My thoughts exactly
[21:40] <danielle331> It's like a malthusian choice where I can change either my phone or my laptop but not both
[21:42] <danielle331> So no idea about disabling automatic logins from vt1?
[21:42] <finetundra__> danielle331: you may have better luck in #ubuntu. This place can be pretty quite
[21:42] <finetundra__> And I'm really not the best at this kinda stuff
[21:43] <danielle331> Had a quick Google. Not sure about this but isn't the procedure different for unity?
[21:44] <danielle331> Cause sddm vs lightdm
[21:53] <finetundra__> danielle331: pretty sure kubuntu uses lightdm
[21:54] <danielle331> The problem with my x server is one where the cursor appears on screen but no desktop environment seems to load. It was preceeded by an unclean shutdown after my battery died...
[21:55] <finetundra__> danielle331: have you tried loading a different de?
[21:55] <finetundra__> plasma may have briken
[21:55] <finetundra__> *broken
[21:55] <danielle331> I can log in using a different user... Now that I've worked out how to disable auto login
[21:56] <finetundra__> danielle331: I think that I may have had this issue my self but it was ~3 months ago.
[21:57] <danielle331> I've had it before too. Not caused by an unclean shutdown tho..
[21:58] <finetundra__> danielle331: yeah. hmm...
[21:58] <finetundra__> you didn't try something like sudo startx did you?
[21:59] <finetundra__> danielle331: for god sake don't run sudop startx
[22:00] <finetundra__> *sudo
[22:00] <danielle441> lol alright I'll add to my list of things not to do
[22:00] <finetundra__> It'll just break things more
[22:00] <finetundra__> what have you tried so far?
[22:00] <danielle441> finetundra: so far I've tried restarting the display manager -- sudo /etc/init.d/sddm restart and sudo service sddm restart. that used to work sometimes with unity. I've never noticed it having any noticable effect on vt6 with plasma tho.
[22:01] <danielle441> tail various logs and dmesg didnt seem to say anything interesting..
[22:02] <danielle441> none of the other graphical VTs seem to work -- just a blinking underscore when I try ctrl-alt-f8 etc
[22:04] <finetundra__> danielle441: hmm
[22:07] <Finetundra> What version are you on?
[22:08] <finetundra__> danielle441: cause that may be of use
[22:10] <danielle441> 15.04
[22:10] <danielle441> so I dont know if this is of interest but heres my .xsession-errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12058202/
[22:11] <danielle441> It looks like there are some interesting errors in there...?
[22:12] <Finetundra> Umm.
[22:12] <Finetundra> You said that plasma loaded for another user yeah?
[22:13] <danielle441> yep I'm logged in as the other user just now
[22:13] <danielle441> have tried removing the .kde folder from my home directory, lets see if that works..
[22:14] <Finetundra> Umm
[22:14] <danielle331> Same problem - just the cursor, nothing else..
[22:16] <Finetundra> Be right back
[22:16] <danielle331> Okay
[22:18] <danielle551> I'm gonna have to leave soon...
[22:19] <danielle551> here is the most relevent error lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12058241/
