[00:08] <sebastian_> hi all. I've installed 15.10 on a Acer Aspire V15 Nito. seems to work well in general. except for two missing drivers + a wired ipv6 issue
[00:09] <sebastian_> missing drivers are my nvidia card + wifi (not critical, as I can use the intel driver / use a cable)
[00:10] <sebastian_> anyway. the bad thing is super slow mixed ipv5+ipv6 name resolution.
[00:11] <sebastian_> getaddrinfo takes 20 seconds for every host that is accesable via ipv4 and ipv6. this also affects programs like sudo
[00:11] <sebastian_> any idea where I can get in deph help?
[01:24] <BlueProtoman> Does anyone mind looking at this AskUbuntu question?  It's about adding custom context menu items in KDE 5, which I can't seem to figure out how to do.  http://askubuntu.com/q/719262/61195
[02:15] <MichaelP> What ever stage of development 16.04 is in right now... It seems pretty nice
[02:28] <tambu> Is there a way to hide user accounts from showing up in the KDE Login page? I have a bunch of application accounts that I prefer didn't show up?
[02:34] <mparillo> MichaelP: I am running it now
[02:35] <MichaelP> mparillo: only problem i have. chromium opens slows
[02:36] <mparillo> For me it opens fine, but it seems to scroll slowly. Rekonq is still generally the fastest for me, but I fear it is pining for the Fjords.
[02:38] <MichaelP> I have not installed rekong yet
[02:38] <MichaelP> Everything else seems faster then in 15.10
[02:38] <mparillo> tambu: It looks as if there is a users section in https://www.mankier.com/5/sddm.conf
[02:39] <tambu> mparillo: ooh hrm that looks promising thank you
[02:39] <mparillo> YW
[03:10] <tambu_> mparillo: where is your sddm.conf located? it wasn't in /etc/sddm.conf so I created it but it doesn't seem to have an impact when I do "systemctl restart sddm"
[03:30] <mparillo> Hmm, Dolphin found it for me there. I will try the konsole. What version are you running?
[03:31] <mparillo> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1564 Dec 23 20:07 sddm.conf
[03:32] <tambu_> mparillo I figured it out.. I did the HideShells option which is more useful I thought.. but i had /sbin/nologin when it should have been /usr/sbin/nologin
[03:32] <mparillo> I am on Xenial, testing Plasma 5.5.3
[03:32] <tambu_> mparillo Thanks for the help!
[03:32] <mparillo> Ahh, well then you are more advanced than I am.
[03:33] <tambu_> mparillo not sure about more advanced.. more like stupid for trying to find the more complex solution :) how is 5.5.3 do you have to update manually to get to it? I'm on 5.4.2
[03:40] <mparillo> I get some frequent plasma crashes, and muon got out of sorts, and I did have to remove some icons from my kicker favorites and re-add them, but I am fine, more or less. Right now, I: expect tomorrow or Monday there will be a call for testers on #kubuntu-devel
[03:40] <mparillo> For me, the biggest improvement is that I got my spell check back on Konversation.
[03:41] <Chronotoss> Ohh there's spell check?
[03:43] <mparillo> If you right click on the entry line.
[03:43] <Chronotoss> Found it, perfect!
[03:43] <Chronotoss> It's the little things. Love it.
[03:46] <mparillo> KDE is filled with nice little things. And good night to all.
[04:39] <anna`> hopefully the Linode DDoS's are over and i won't keep losing connection 8)
[10:01] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:42] <sebokie> hello, I just installed kubuntu and was before on gentoo, can I compile my own kernel using the .config file from Gentoo kernel and use it in Kubuntu? it was a kernel made so that all needed drivers are compiled in kernel and it is booted directly from UEFI bootloader (no initrd or grub)
[11:42] <sebokie> with systemd
[11:44] <soee> sebokie: better ask on #ubuntu
[11:44] <sebokie> soee: ok
[12:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:45] <Notimik> hi all any one having problem with kubuntu opening konsole on wrong monitor ( not the one that it was closed in) ?
[17:18] <emanuel_> hello
[17:19] <tower> @echo. hello
[17:20] <emanuel_> i have a quick question if anyone can help
[17:20] <tower> dont ask to ask, just ask and wait
[17:20] <emanuel_> lol ok
[17:21] <emanuel_> how come when i use dd it wont burn the kubuntu correctly
[17:22] <emanuel_> unetbootin isnt any good either tried that to
[17:22] <tower> emanuel_: srry, im new here, so just wait for someone else
[17:23] <emanuel_> in theory it should work fine
[17:23] <emanuel_> its okay dude i appreciate you trying
[17:29] <tower> emanuel_: seems weird, isnt it, 260 users in channel, but only 2 talking
[17:30] <emanuel_> lol yea i find its like that most of the time
[17:34] <ash___> Hi all. I am using Kubuntu 15.04. I am facing a problem with extracting .tar files. The error is : tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors.
[17:34] <ash___> Is there any archiver that could help me with extracting .tar files?
[17:34] <austin6598> Try right clicking on in and extract
[17:35] <austin6598> It*
[17:35] <ash___> Doesn't work.
[17:35] <emanuel_> i use tar -xvf or as im on gnome i use file roller
[17:35] <ash___> That's why I tried extracting it from the terminal
[17:36] <ash___> to see what the error is
[17:37] <demon> ciao
[17:37] <demon> !list
[17:37] <emanuel_> you can try tar -zxvf
[17:38] <ash___> @emanuel I used the same
[17:38] <uebera||> ash___: Try tar -xvf ... >/dev/null on the command line; if I'm not mistaken, all you're left with are the error messages.
[17:38] <austin6598> emanuel_: what is dd?
[17:39] <emanuel_> dd is command line utility to burn iso's to usb
[17:39] <austin6598> ash___: "You will get that message if, for any reason, tar can't add all of the specified files to the tar. One if the most common is not having read permission on one of the files."
[17:39] <tower> ubottu: !shutdown
[17:40] <tower> !q
[17:40] <emanuel_> maybe the archive is corrupt
[17:40] <uebera||> emanuel_: most people don't consider that "burning" since it does not involve a cd/dvd/bluray ;) ("dd - convert and copy a file")
[17:41]  * tower * Added *!*ubottu@ubuntu/bot/ubottu to ignore list
[17:41] <austin6598> emanuel_: what OS are you trying to make a kubuntu usb on?
[17:42] <emanuel_> Debian Jessie
[17:42] <ash___> emanuel : maybe
[17:42] <austin6598> also instead of just saying "it didnt work correctly" or "there was a problem" everyone should get used to providing the actual outcome of what you tried
[17:42] <austin6598> emanuel_: check its file permissions
[17:44] <emanuel_> i always run dd as sudo and i use fdisk -l to find the name of my usb so im thinkin its a issue with kubuntu
[17:44] <austin6598> try on another OS and if that doesnt work its probably just corrupt
[17:44] <austin6598> what is it anyway?
[17:45] <austin6598> emanuel_: http://www.wobzip.org/
[17:45] <emanuel_> ive done succesfully with three other operating systems
[17:46] <emanuel_> it
[17:46] <emanuel_> sorry
[17:46] <emanuel_> and unetbootin destroys stuff
[17:48] <austin6598> emanuel_: whoops all those messages were meant for ash
[17:49] <emanuel_> its ok dude
[18:14] <break3r> hey everybody - I can't find a solution via google, sorry. I am running kubuntu wily witz kde-konversation. I am trying to set up an encryption key for a channel, where I am writing with some friends. As far as I read it SHOULD be possible to do that, but it's not working (Bug 798036). Is that the case or did I misunderstand anything?
[18:16] <break3r> Does anyone know how to solve this issue and can maybe send me a link I didn't find?
[18:20] <austin6598> break3r: try #kde
[18:21] <break3r> k, thx
[18:31] <lordievader> Hmm, what to do when grub is lying to you? I have a dualboot with two logical volumes wily-lv and xenial-lv, however grub only detects one lv. Even though both names show up. For example: if made on the xenial-lv, a Ubuntu and a Ubuntu (on wily-lv) are in the grub menu, but both boot of xenial-lv.
[18:32] <austin6598> lordievader: install grubcustomizer
[18:32] <lordievader> I'd like to stay away from writing custom grub configs.
[18:33] <lordievader> Unless I can get a stucture where the right kernels are selected.
[18:37] <austin6598> Im not entirely sure what your problem is because of the way you phrased it lordievader
[18:38] <lordievader> Hmm, I see. Well I have a dual boot, but grub only makes config for one side basically.
[18:38] <lordievader> Two versions of Kubuntu on different logical volumes.
[18:38] <emanuel_> have you tried grub-update
[18:39] <lordievader> Grub makes two entries, say, 'Ubuntu' and 'Ubuntu (on wily-lv)'. However as root both have xenial-lv set.
[18:40] <austin6598> so you use grub customizer to change where it boots to. how did you plan to do this without changing grub config files?
[18:40] <lordievader> So I am wondering why grub does detect the name of the logical volume but does not set it as the root.
[18:41] <lordievader> The problem is not really with the config but in the way grub detects the other installations.
[18:41] <frederic__> hi all
[18:41] <austin6598> its booting into one of them as root?
[18:42] <lordievader> Hold on, I'll pastebin my grub.cfg
[18:42] <lordievader> austin6598: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14461109
[18:42] <austin6598> you still havent told me what your problem is
[18:43] <lordievader> austin6598: That is what I am trying to do ;)
[18:43] <austin6598> so you have two grub menus that boot to the same partition?
[18:43] <lordievader> austin6598: Compare entry line 132-148 with entry 295-306.
[18:44] <lordievader> The names suggest two different root fs'es, but the parameters are the same.
[18:44] <lordievader> I want to find out why.
[18:46] <austin6598> why should they be different lordievader
[18:47] <lordievader> austin6598: Because there are two installs, One should boot to xenial-lv the other to wily-lv. Now both entries boot to xenial-lv.
[18:49] <austin6598> one says dev/mapper/ebon--hawk--vg-xenial and the other /dev/mapper/ebon--hawk--vg-wily
[18:49] <lordievader> In the name, not in the actual parameter that gets passed to the kernel ;)
[18:49] <austin6598> lordievader: what line is that?
[18:50] <lordievader> xenial: 146, what should be wily: 304.
[18:50] <austin6598> set root='hd0,msdos1'?
[18:50] <lordievader> That is for grub itself ;)
[18:51] <austin6598> in grubcustomizer you can change the boot location of that menu
[18:51] <Dragnslcr> Maybe try running grub2-mkconfig again and see what it outputs
[18:51] <lordievader> Sure, but I want the 30_os_probe to pick that up itself.
[18:52] <lordievader> I mean if it is able to pick up the right name (os-prober functions correctly), why not set the right root.
[18:52] <Dragnslcr> If it outputs the same thing, it kind of looks like a bug in mkconfig
[18:52] <lordievader> It does look like a bug to me.
[18:53] <lordievader> Ah, the linux-boot-prober seems to error.
[18:54] <lordievader> Would it append the current cmdline?
[18:54] <Dragnslcr> Unless there's something weird in one of the other config files. I think mkconfig pulls stuff from something under /etc too.
[18:57] <lordievader> Dragnslcr: Where in /etc?
[18:59] <Dragnslcr> I can't remember offhand. I think it's /etc/sysconfig in Redhat
[18:59] <Dragnslcr> Maybe Ubuntu doesn't do it that way
[19:01] <lordievader> No, that file doesn't exist.
[19:01] <Dragnslcr> Yeah, I checked
[19:19] <emanuel_> any thoughts on my situation with dd
[19:24] <lordievader> Interesting, it reads the old /boot/grub/grub.cfg for the config if available.
[19:26] <lordievader> emanuel_: Since I am missing backlog, what dd problems?
[19:40] <emanuel_> when i use dd to write my kubuntu iso to my usb its not bootable
[19:41] <lordievader> What is the output of 'sudo parted /dev/<usb>'?
[19:49] <lordievader> I found my problem, the boot probes parse the grub.cfg, and since they share /boot, the script detects the other rootfs. Having a decoy boot fixed it.
