[00:09] <megm> K back to the terminal
[00:09] <Finetundar> did oyu mean like?
[00:09] <megm> yes like
[00:09] <megm> Stupid autocorrect
[00:10] <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!
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <Finetundar> ok. Do you still have the original install medium?
[00:14] <megm> No but I have a USB and another pc
[00:15] <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?
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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?
[00:19] <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?
[00:20] <megmpc> think i have that lying around
[00:20] <Finetundar> sure
[00:24] <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
[00:42] <Finetundar> hows it going megmpc?
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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
[00:47] <megmpc> k ill give it a shot thanks, going to get something to eat getting on to 3 am here
[00:48] <Finetundar> definately should eat
[01:22] <megmpc> so I booted onto the usb, but it doesnt show the hard drive
[01:22] <megmpc> or the external
[01:23] <Finetundar> huh?
[01:27] <megmpc> in /media there is only cdrom
[01:27] <Finetundar> erm
[01:28] <Finetundar> how about in dolphin?
[01:29] <megmpc> under devices there is loop devices and UUI
[01:29] <Finetundar> um. hang tight
[01:30] <Finetundar> megmpc: have you ever used gparted?
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <megmpc> found the harddrive and the usb with kubuntu on it
[01:32] <Finetundar> with gparted or the command
[01:33] <megmpc> the command
[01:34] <Finetundar> ok. But it doesn't pop up in dolphin?
[01:34] <megmpc> if i try another usb it works
[01:34] <megmpc> no
[01:34] <Finetundar> megmpc: ok. hmm
[01:38] <Finetundar> megmpc: I think we need to take this to #ubuntu.
[01:38] <Guest9180> hgdskf
[01:39] <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
[01:41] <Finetundar> megmpc: also, how old is the hdd?
[01:42] <megmpc> not old works fine otherwise
[01:42] <megmpc> the external one
[01:43] <megmpc> its showing up on dolphin now
[01:43] <megmpc> i changed the usb ports
[01:44] <Finetundar> megmpc: what about the internal one?
[01:45] <megmpc> nothing
[01:45] <Finetundar> no I mean age wise
[01:45] <megmpc> 1-2 years
[01:45] <Finetundar> brand?
[01:46] <megmpc> are we talking about the external one?
[01:46] <megmpc> oh
[01:46] <Finetundar> internal
[01:46] <megmpc> dunno
[01:46] <megmpc> sec
[01:47] <Finetundar> hmm. is the computer a laptop?
[01:47] <megmpc> dell xps 13 2014
[01:48] <Finetundar> oh, right.
[01:48] <megmpc> gparted lists it but with warnings that its unable to detect file system
[01:49] <Finetundar> megmpc: that is an issue.
[01:49] <Finetundar> megmpc: has the laptop been bashed around any?
[01:50] <megmpc> i mostly transported it in by bag but not more than that
[01:51] <megmpc> although it fell from about 2 ft the other day
[01:51] <Finetundar> megmpc: hmm
[01:52] <Finetundar> seems like is has an ssd
[01:54] <Finetundar> so hdd shouldn't be failing
[01:54] <Finetundar> but that may be a possibility
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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?
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <alex_______> on attempt to enable more parameters (Viewpoint etc), X hangs on load with soft reboot (ctl-alt-del) possible
[02:04] <alex_______> attempt to create a new xorg.conf with Xorg :1 -configure fails with segfault... anyone has any suggestions?
[02:15] <roasted_> hi friends
[02:17] <Finetundar> hello roasted_
[02:17] <roasted_> anybody know offhand if the 15.10 daily includes plasma 5.4 yet? Or is it still 5.3?
[02:24] <roasted_> looks like no
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <gschanuel> i have already set the language options on SystemSettings and also installed every pt_BR package I found
[02:28] <gschanuel> still some things are translated to pt_PT and others are in english
[02:28] <gschanuel> it's a mess!
[02:28] <gschanuel> how can I solve this?
[02:31] <gschanuel> dolphin have some pt_PT translations
[02:36] <gschanuel> Muon Discover is in english
[02:38] <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?
[02:41] <gschanuel> does kubuntu 14.10 have all translations?
[03:04] <gschanuel> thanks for your help.. you are very kind.. i'm rolling back to 14.10
[04:34] <ahoneybun> roasted_: Beta 1 has the 5.4 wallpaper so I believe so
[07:45] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:46] <lordievader> ahoneybun: Wily had 5.4 beta last time I checked.
[08:08] <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?~
[11:02] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:03] <akasic> hi, ive already set my window with no title bar or boders, but i cant accesc the specific window or application settings menu, is any way to access it?

[12:05] <akasic> ok its in settings
[13:07] <jxjl> hi, I have just nstalled kubuntu 15.04 and I have problems with touchscreen, when I tap on anything in plasma, it always executes button in the right top corner independently on button I tap, in apps the touchscreen works as expected
[13:07] <yugdrix> hi
[14:29] <Swipe-> Do the widgets stay sticky on the dashboard in Plasma 5.4? Has that been fixed?
[16:33] <kde-fan> suche kicker für kde 5
[16:34] <kde-fan> kicker for kde 5 ?
[16:40] <tom___> hello
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <Swipe-> i.e.the widgets won't stay in the dashboard
[16:46] <Swipe-> making it a pointless feature
[16:50] <BluesKaj> never bothered with the dashboard, dunno why it's there, doesn't seem to do much except minimize everythig
[17:09] <t45> hello
[17:10] <BluesKaj> hi t45
[17:11] <t45> hi
[17:11] <t45> who are you
[17:13] <BluesKaj> do you have a kubuntu support question?
[17:14] <BluesKaj> t45, please stop pm-ing me
[17:15] <t45> well how do you add other servers??
[17:15] <BluesKaj> in which client?
[17:15] <t45> big fun
