| megm | K back to the terminal | 00:09 |
| Finetundar | did oyu mean like? | 00:09 |
| megm | yes like | 00:09 |
| megm | Stupid autocorrect | 00:09 |
| megm | I hit typed reboot | 00:10 |
| Finetundar | so, let's try 'sudo service lightdm stop' then 'sudo service lightdm start' | 00:10 |
| Finetundar | oh, ok | 00:10 |
| megm | Fuck! | 00:10 |
| megm | Error unknown filesystem | 00:11 |
| megm | Rescue mode: grub | 00:11 |
| Finetundar | oh god. | 00:11 |
| megm | This is really bad | 00:11 |
| Finetundar | uh. hmm | 00:11 |
| megm | Why is there no help command D: | 00:12 |
| Finetundar | well, it's still recoverable. Do you have a backup hard drive? or something that has lots of space to back up to? | 00:12 |
| megm | Yes | 00:12 |
| Finetundar | ok. Do you still have the original install medium? | 00:13 |
| megm | No but I have a USB and another pc | 00:14 |
| megm | Brb why am I doing this on my phone... | 00:15 |
| Finetundar | ok, so let's make a live usb. Do you remember how to do that? | 00:15 |
| megmpc | yes i have to do it on windows, do you know a good program for that? | 00:17 |
| megmpc | why must this happen when im high | 00:17 |
| Finetundar | I usually use unetbootin | 00:18 |
| Finetundar | so lets start with that | 00:18 |
| megmpc | k thanks ill do that, have to download it | 00:18 |
| megmpc | can i use kubuntu 15? | 00:18 |
| Finetundar | As long as it's a live system it'll do | 00:19 |
| Finetundar | *live system w/ a gui | 00:19 |
| megmpc | oh right | 00:19 |
| megmpc | will mint do? | 00:19 |
| megmpc | think i have that lying around | 00:20 |
| Finetundar | sure | 00:20 |
| megmpc | ok no it doesnt work, ill come back when i can boot on the usb | 00:24 |
| Finetundar | ok. I'm gonna go grab dinner | 00:24 |
| Finetundar | hows it going megmpc? | 00:42 |
| megmpc | just downloaded kubuntu 15 im going to update afterwards | 00:43 |
| megmpc | but my pc is playing stupid... | 00:43 |
| Finetundar | what do you mean? | 00:43 |
| megmpc | i have downloaded it but chrome isnt showing it as done but it still hase .download | 00:44 |
| megmpc | never mind it worked | 00:44 |
| Finetundar | sweet | 00:44 |
| megmpc | installing iso | 00:45 |
| Finetundar | so. Basically you'll wanna backup the home folder and I feel like there may be one more. And then youcan reinstall, upgrade or uninstall kubuntu | 00:45 |
| megmpc | k ill give it a shot thanks, going to get something to eat getting on to 3 am here | 00:47 |
| Finetundar | definately should eat | 00:48 |

| megmpc | so I booted onto the usb, but it doesnt show the hard drive | 01:22 |
| megmpc | or the external | 01:22 |
| Finetundar | huh? | 01:23 |
| megmpc | in /media there is only cdrom | 01:27 |
| Finetundar | erm | 01:27 |
| Finetundar | how about in dolphin? | 01:28 |
| megmpc | under devices there is loop devices and UUI | 01:29 |
| Finetundar | um. hang tight | 01:29 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: have you ever used gparted? | 01:30 |
| megmpc | ehm think so but i dont have my harddrive partitioned | 01:31 |
| Finetundar | here, run this in a terminal sudo lshw -class disk -short | 01:31 |
| megmpc | found the harddrive and the usb with kubuntu on it | 01:32 |
| Finetundar | with gparted or the command | 01:32 |
| megmpc | the command | 01:33 |
| Finetundar | ok. But it doesn't pop up in dolphin? | 01:34 |
| megmpc | if i try another usb it works | 01:34 |

| Finetundar | megmpc: I think we need to take this to #ubuntu. | 01:38 |
| Guest9180 | hgdskf | 01:38 |
| Finetundar | Largely because they'll know much more than I do | 01:39 |
| megmpc | can i install kubuntu 15 along side 14 and the recover it? | 01:39 |
| megmpc | ok | 01:39 |
| megmpc | thanks for the help | 01:39 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: np. | 01:39 |
| Finetundar | Guest9180: hi | 01:39 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: also, how old is the hdd? | 01:41 |
| megmpc | not old works fine otherwise | 01:42 |
| megmpc | the external one | 01:42 |
| megmpc | its showing up on dolphin now | 01:43 |
| megmpc | i changed the usb ports | 01:43 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: what about the internal one? | 01:44 |
| megmpc | nothing | 01:45 |
| Finetundar | no I mean age wise | 01:45 |
| megmpc | 1-2 years | 01:45 |
| Finetundar | brand? | 01:45 |
| megmpc | are we talking about the external one? | 01:46 |
| megmpc | oh | 01:46 |
| Finetundar | internal | 01:46 |
| megmpc | dunno | 01:46 |
| megmpc | sec | 01:46 |
| Finetundar | hmm. is the computer a laptop? | 01:47 |
| megmpc | dell xps 13 2014 | 01:47 |
| Finetundar | oh, right. | 01:48 |
| megmpc | gparted lists it but with warnings that its unable to detect file system | 01:48 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: that is an issue. | 01:49 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: has the laptop been bashed around any? | 01:49 |
| megmpc | i mostly transported it in by bag but not more than that | 01:50 |
| megmpc | although it fell from about 2 ft the other day | 01:51 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: hmm | 01:51 |
| Finetundar | seems like is has an ssd | 01:52 |
| Finetundar | so hdd shouldn't be failing | 01:54 |
| Finetundar | but that may be a possibility | 01:54 |
| alex_______ | hi all... can anyone help with advice re: kubuntu 15.10? | 01:56 |
| Finetundar | megmpc: I dunno man. I guess ask in #ubuntu. I'm out of ideas | 01:56 |
| alex_______ | more specifically, HiDPI on Kubuntu 15.10 | 01:56 |
| megmpc | k ill try, thanks a lot! | 01:57 |
| alex_______ | even more specifically, how to extend the display scaling -- which is awesome -- to the initial sddm login screen? | 01:57 |
| alex_______ | hardware is built-in Intel Haswell... what I've tried so far: creating 90-monitor.conf with DisplaySize, section cut'n'pasted from xorg.conf that worked on Kubuntu 15.04 on same laptop -- ignored by X | 02:02 |
| alex_______ | on attempt to enable more parameters (Viewpoint etc), X hangs on load with soft reboot (ctl-alt-del) possible | 02:03 |
| alex_______ | attempt to create a new xorg.conf with Xorg :1 -configure fails with segfault... anyone has any suggestions? | 02:04 |
| roasted_ | hi friends | 02:15 |
| Finetundar | hello roasted_ | 02:17 |

| roasted_ | looks like no | 02:24 |
| gschanuel | hello folks. I'm installing kubuntu for my dad. The only issue i'm having here is that there are some missing translations to pt_BR | 02:27 |

| gschanuel | still some things are translated to pt_PT and others are in english | 02:28 |

| gschanuel | Muon Discover is in english | 02:36 |
| gschanuel | i'm on kubuntu 15.04 | 02:38 |
| gschanuel | is there another version with full translation to pt_BR | 02:38 |
| gschanuel | is 15.04 stin an unfinished version? | 02:38 |
| gschanuel | does kubuntu 14.10 have all translations? | 02:41 |

| Ped7g | my problem: kubuntu 15.04 + backports PPA, setting up looks to dark theme, and suddenly Dolphin insists on light menu bar. I tried to change trough many theme settings, reboot between, but that menu in dolphin is stuck to something. Any idea, where it may come from? Some config file somewhere?~ | 08:08 |

| Swipe- | In 5.3, ctrl+F12 enables dashboard, you add a couple of widgets to the dashboard you've just shown and then press ctrl+F12 expecting them to stay inside the dashboard | 16:44 |
| Swipe- | But what happens is they are now on the desktop instead | 16:44 |
| Swipe- | i.e.the widgets won't stay in the dashboard | 16:45 |
| Swipe- | making it a pointless feature | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | never bothered with the dashboard, dunno why it's there, doesn't seem to do much except minimize everythig | 16:50 |
