How do I do this please? [12:01] Godolphinhill: No one in here knows how or what you backuped [12:01] Godolphinhill: So we'll need a bit more detail [12:07] I backed up my documents. They're in .gz files on the usb stick [12:12] Godolphinhill: So unpack them where you see fit [12:53] Hiyas all [12:59] every time my computer is left unused for too long it bugs out - logs me out or does other things and then when I log back in I see that random things have been opened and changed. Like this time there were a ton of apps I never opened and websites from my browser history were added to the bookmarks. [13:00] actually looks like its not from history. It is stuff I had bookmarked, it just wasn't on the toolbar before. [13:05] em, what length of time are you talking about here? [13:07] BluesKaj: Like over night. [13:10] perhaps you have updates and upgrades set to auto install unattended updates in the update manager [13:40] it happened again [13:40] this isnt like normal stuff showing up [13:40] its completely random stuff [13:40] like all the tabs in google tht were open slpit into diffferent window [13:41] akregator oepnded [13:41] restore session opened [13:41] all random things i never touched [13:41] opened [13:41] every time i return to the computer it is like some monkey has been opening random crap [13:41] often so much that i just have to turn it off and start over [13:42] I think maybe Kubuntu 15.10 is just not ready to be released. [13:50] em: it is. You sure you didn't get yourself a trojan horse, or one of your fellas is playing on you ? [13:52] im not sure, maybe unetbootin made it buggy? [13:53] can't say. Booting normally [13:57] em, are you sure there isn't some one accessing the computer while you're away or asleep or..... is this possible? [13:59] unetbootin only worked for me about 50% of my install tries, but I never experienced ant strange behavior on the successful installs [14:00] so I switched to using dd to copy the iso to usb [14:04] make sure you sync after that.

[16:07] I just put the old hard disk of my old computer into my brand new computer (Asus z170-A motherboard, Samsung Syncmaster monitor). [16:08] Even though the Samsung shows HD when detecting the signal, everything is off screen after loggin in. [16:08] Before I had a 19" now I have a 27". === struk|desk2 is now known as struk|desk|away [16:25] karamba, swapping in a HDD from a different pc that has differnt hardware than the target pc is always going cause problems due to drivers and graphics, audio and file configurations etc. [16:26] never a good idea [16:26] BluesKaj: So I have to reinstall the system? :( ? [16:26] yes, that's the best approach [16:28] karamba, same graphic card? if not, login ctrl alt F1: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # and reboot after that, might work for you [16:29] Not same card, completely new PC. Built it today. Thx I will try [16:30] OerHeks, cool , never saw that command or attempt to rescue, before [16:31] sudo ubuntu-drivers list# will show available drivers [16:31] if he can get to the VT [16:31] autoinstall installs the whole bunch, if available, vga, wifi, microcode [16:31] I ran the command but the output was: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded [16:31] yeah, i hope he can [16:32] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # might fix that [16:34] This is only installing a new kernel now [16:34] sudo ubuntu-drivers list# errors out here [16:35] but sudo ubuntu-drivers list works [16:35] that # was meant for the comment, sorry [16:36] yeah i wondered about the # [16:40] I can not read a few chars on termnial 1 becaue it is off screen. but this command produces something like -microdoce [16:40] -microcode [16:42] karamba, microcode is an optional app for your cpu [16:42] !microcode [16:43] !info microcode [16:43] Package microcode does not exist in wily [16:44] BluesKaj: What do you mean? [16:44] Or what do I do? [16:45] karamba, it's an optional package for your cpu to acquire patches [16:46] BluesKaj: So should I install it? [16:46] just leave it for now, unless it's ready to install' [16:47] What do you mean by "unless it is ready to install"? So I can not do anything then I guess. [16:47] install if youwish, don't think it will damage anything [16:48] I have it installed on my pc without any ill effects [16:48] sudo apt-get install microcode --> package microcode not found [16:50] depends on your cpu, AMD64-microcode, or intel-microcode [16:50] intel [16:51] then install intel-microcode [16:51] -micocode is already the latest version [16:51] ok [16:52] I just find it amazing that there is no command to the Ubuntu to reconfigure graphics, i.e. do what you normally do when installing a new system. [16:52] have you updated and upgraded with apt? if so run sudo apt dist-upgrade as well [16:53] Yeah, I did that. [16:53] karamba, so what gpu is in your new pc? intel only? [16:53] karamba, depends on the gpu , the installer looks at the hardware and installs the default driver [16:54] intel is supported with the kernel fine. [16:54] yeah try st\artx [16:54] startx rather [16:56] OerHeks: this is it: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-A/specifications/ [17:00] It might be worth a fresh install, after backing up your data === event is now known as Guest98982 [17:05] hello [17:06] i've installed qmmp for mp3 but now when I download smth on firefox, and I want to open the folder where is downloaded program in FF, the folder does'nt open. Opens QMMP :/ [17:06] helo [17:06] program = file [17:07] bartosz_, default DL file on kubuntu is /home/user/Downloads in FF [17:08] i know but I hitting the download arrow in FF [17:08] and near downloaded file is the icon of small folder [17:08] when I hit it Qmmp opens [17:08] just try opening the downloads file [17:08] thats not a satisfying sollution [17:09] i want to open the "overriding" folder [17:09] really? ..seems simple enough to me [17:09] there is no overriding folder [17:09] im translating [17:09] Ok [17:10] you have and arrow in FF with downloaded files [17:10] hit the arrow [17:10] near downloaded file, on the right side is the gray folder [17:10] when i hit that qmmp opens not dolphin [17:11] this is trivial , just open the the home/user/Downloads file and you'll see your mp3 there [17:12] the file is not a mp3 [17:12] its a rar [17:12] but Dolphin should open! [17:12] this icon doesn't open the file but the directory where the file is! [17:13] perhaps because it's a rar file [17:14] ok ill give you a screenshot, you don't get it [17:14] anyway i don't open files in my current dir whith a browser [17:14] ok but i do and i would like to fix it [17:17] bartosz_, maybe tar files expect to be extracted not opened with a browser, has that ocurred to you? [17:19] http://zapodaj.net/5797746eeadfc.png.html [17:19] check this image [17:20] * BluesKaj shrugs like i said above it's a tar file [17:21] can you see the other files [17:21] is pdf a tar file? [17:21] expects to be opened in the conr=texr menu with ark or extracted , not in a browser [17:22] context menu [17:22] is a pdf a tar file? [17:22] it can be iuf it's compressed [17:22] ok [17:22] but before installing qmmp it worked well and always dolphin was opened [17:23] so no, it's not beacuse tar files [17:23] open it in dolphin , not FF and it will open with okular if it isn't tarred [17:24] BluesKaj: I want to (beacause i have gotten used to it for years) to open a dolphin by hitting the folder icon [17:25] like it was before installing qmmp [17:56] valorie: are you around? [18:02] hi [18:03] hi [18:03] does someone know what "~" does in bash? [18:04] ? [18:07] eins: depends on context [18:07] it doesnt do just one thing [18:08] if you have a script already using then put that in a pastebin somewhere [18:10] im sorry im new in linux, im left windows a couple of months ago, im trying to install plugins in vim and in a tutorial says :e~/.vimrc [18:10] eins https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Tilde-Expansion.html [18:11] oh, ~/,vimrc = /home/$USER/.vimrc [18:11] ~ stands for short way of writing /home/$USER [18:11] ohhhhhhh that!.....thank you [18:12] leaving windows could be a mess without help [18:12] thanks [18:14] yw [18:14] could i ask my doubts here or its just for advanced programmers?

[21:11] Hmm, the DT I have is fine, not sure how the standard will be [21:12] so the netrunner stuff can't go? [21:12] If it changes, I'll deal with it.. what I want is newest stable releases of fire fox & thunderbird [21:13] if netrunner is holding me back, then need to remove thier ppa [21:13] netrunner ppa makes appa for single versions, for wily 15.10 it is https://launchpad.net/~netrunner-os/+archive/ubuntu/netrunner-17-packages [21:14] hi [21:14] you'd need to install the standard kde-workspace then after the purge, as looks like it won't revert to that on it's own [21:17] how i can install tar.gz files [21:17] what exactly from where? === elien is now known as sk_ryan007 [21:20] devgeek: a .tar.gz is just a compressed file, not an installation package [21:23] tnx :) [21:25] sorry friends my english is realy bad ^ـــ^ === event is now known as Guest87862 [21:32] removed the Netrunner ppa and get this; https://paste.kde.org/pz2aakyzd === Steffstoff is now known as Guest85350 === Guest87862 is now known as e-vent [21:38] Anyone know how to get the KDiff3 context menu options back in Plasma 5?

[21:43] I'll see what happens now.. ppa removed and firefox now back to ver 43.. but needs to restart FF.. might as well restart system. brb [21:44] Guest53411: may have to 'dpkg -P --force-all netrunner-artwork' to fully get rid of the netrunner artwork package [21:45] at least FF is correct version [21:45] might do 'sudo apt-get install kde-workspace' before you restart [21:45] okay thanks.. lol, all tis just to keep FF at current stable version.. [21:46] the problem with ppas [21:46] oh yeah, almost forgot kde-workspace.. thanks.. or I'd have another mess [21:47] many are fine, but some do some odd things on overiding default packages and versions, and when they stop getting updated can be a real pain === elien is now known as sk_ryan007 [22:02] Any fix available for scrolling via scrollwheel causing random movement in both directions? Using Logitech MX518 via VirtualBox 5.0.14 on Windows host. [22:09] Thank you! Firefox is updated and system is running fine without the netrunner ppa. [22:34] N3X15: You mean that Kubuntu is the guest and Windows is the host? (I use the *exact* same setup myself but reversed; venerable old MX518 as my mouse, Kubuntu as my host, Windows machines as my guests) [22:34] Yes [22:34] Hmm. Can't say I have any experience directly with that then; you might want to just ask over in #vbox [22:35] Well, Vbox claims the problem is with Qt [22:35] And qt said they fixed the problem in 5.5 [22:37] https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40829 Here's the bug report for that. [22:37] N3X15: And you're running which version of Kubuntu? I actually was under the impression that Kubuntu 15.10 was still on Qt 5.4 [22:37] Whatever wily is [22:37] Yeah, that's 15.10. Which is still Qt 5.4, then. [22:38] Crap. [22:38] Guess I'll have to use the arrow keys for a while longer. Thanks. [22:39] No problem, N3X15; the next release (Xenial) should have Qt 5.5. [23:09] N3X15: note that the current alpha of Xenial does not yet have 5.5 (I just updated my VM to make sure) [23:10] Yeah, not making the jump to unstable just yet [23:10] Thanks for letting me know, however. [23:10] You could of course run it in a VM to see the current state. [23:11] That's the thing, it's already a VM :P [23:11] You know you can have more than one VM, right? :-) [23:12] whats the tester channel called? [23:13] I would guess it's called #test [23:14] just wondering cause i've upgraded to 16.04 and had install issues [23:15] In that case, I thin you are looking for #ubuntu+1 [23:15] thank you! is there a kubuntu+1? [23:16] Not that I am ware of. Though you can lways create that room yourself [23:16] ok thanks so much [23:53] Hi. Plasma is not seeing google-chrome or letting me launch it from the launch thingy. it was installed with apt and i've tried reinstalling. can someone help? [23:54] bob2021: Interesting. If you just type in "google-chrome" to KRunner (I think the default is still alt+f2) does it nonetheless run? [23:54] Alternatively, try that from a terminal session like Konsole. [23:58] keithzg - from a terminal session yes, that's how i'm in now. from krunner, no
