[01:30] <lethu> Hello, I am trying to create a link to an executable in the home folder so that it can run system wide
[01:30] <lethu> by just summoning it's name
[01:31] <lethu> so I do "ln -s [executable] [targetname]
[01:31] <lethu> "
[01:31] <lethu> in /usr/sbin
[01:31] <lethu> am I doing it wrong?
[01:33] <DarinMiller> I always forget the order myself.  As per 'man ln': ln -s [target] [link name]
[01:33] <lethu> but it doesn't work for me, when I write the link's name nothing happens
[01:33] <lethu> after making the link
[01:33] <lethu> when I want to run the executable
[01:34] <DarinMiller> your home directory is not in the default path.  To run something that is not in the default path, you must specify the path.
[01:34] <DarinMiller> i.e. /home/lethu/mylink
[01:35] <DarinMiller> or if you pwd is home, use ./mylink
[01:35] <DarinMiller> the dot "." means use current path
[01:35] <DarinMiller> make sense?
[01:36] <DarinMiller> example: ln -s /usr/bin/dolphin d
[01:37] <DarinMiller> to run: ./d
[01:38] <lethu> ah, thanks, got it!
[01:38] <DarinMiller> :) glad to help
[01:38] <lethu> :))
[01:39] <DarinMiller> If you want to make your own directory and include it in the search path, review this page http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-adding-path/
[01:40] <lethu> thanks again!
[01:40] <DarinMiller> Adding your own directory will allow you to run your commands from any dirctory without typing the path.
[01:41] <DarinMiller> anytime
[01:44] <lethu> :)

[02:18] <Roey> Hello all
[02:19] <Roey> I'm trying to use KDE connect.. I got it working between my laptop and my phone so that I can browse the phone's files through my alptop, but I don't have the same behavior when I try to connect my phone to my desktop computer.  It has bluetooth adaptor too btw.
[02:21] <Dragnslcr> Does KDE Connect work over Bluetooth? I've only used it over WiFi.
[02:44] <yotux> what is a good method of managing gpg keys
[03:10] <Roey> Dragnslcr:  ah
[03:10] <Roey> dunno? I don't know how I am connecting to it.
[03:10] <Roey> I see references to pairing
[03:10] <Roey> so I assume it is using bluetooth?
[03:10] <Roey> I'll ask on #kde
[03:47] <poua> how is kubuntu 16.04 is it better and less buggy with more finished appearance than 15?
[04:58] <sudo__> i have dependency problem with 'kde-window-manager' and when i enter sudo apt-get update it will remove 'kde-window-manager'
[04:58] <goddard> Roey: hex chat?! That is GTK not Qt :D
[04:58] <goddard> jk
[04:58] <sudo__> should i upgrade ?
[04:59] <goddard> sudo__: do you know what that package is?
[04:59] <sudo__> kde-window-manager kde-window-manager-common kde-workspace kde-workspace-bin
[04:59] <sudo__>   kubuntu-desktop libgl1-mesa-dri libkdecorations4abi1 libkwinglesutils1
[04:59] <sudo__>   libkwinglutils1abi3 libtaskmanager4abi5 plasma-dataengines-workspace
[04:59] <sudo__>   plasma-desktop plasma-netbook plasma-widgets-addons plasma-widgets-workspace
[04:59] <teo_> Just wanted to say thank you to the people who give out the support in here. You guys are great :D
[04:59] <sudo__> these packages will be removed
[05:00] <sudo__> thats the Windows Manager i guess.
[05:01] <goddard> what are you trying to do?
[05:01] <sudo__> i am trying to install leafpad
[05:01] <sudo__> but it gaves me dependecy problem
[05:01] <sudo__> nd when i type  apt-get -f install
[05:02] <sudo__> it ask me to remove all those packages i listed
[05:04] <sudo__> ?
[05:04] <goddard> sudo__: one sec
[05:04] <sudo__> sure.
[05:04] <goddard> sudo__: your on 16.04?
[05:05] <sudo__> 14.04.2
[05:06] <goddard> Any reason you haven't upgraded to 14.04.4?
[05:06] <goddard> or rather updated
[05:07] <sudo__> That's not stable in my machine. It's automatic Frezzes sometimes.
[05:07] <goddard> sudo__: ahh I assume you want leafpad a GTK app over a QT editor for some reason?
[05:08] <sudo__> i can't install leafpad , pluma , gedit
[05:08] <sudo__> none of them
[05:08] <goddard> sudo__: how about kate
[05:08] <goddard> ?
[05:08] <goddard> do you have kate?
[05:08] <sudo__> kate is inbilt
[05:08] <sudo__> yes i have it
[05:09] <sudo__> but why can't i install leafpad ?
[05:09] <goddard> http://paste.kde.org
[05:09] <goddard> can you pass the exact command and output
[05:10] <sudo__> sure.
[05:11] <sudo__> here
[05:11] <sudo__> https://paste.kde.org/p0wxde93x
[05:13] <sudo__> 2nd one (when i type 'sudo apt-get -f install' )
[05:13] <sudo__> https://paste.kde.org/pleo3vkbq
[05:18] <goddard> sudo__: i don't think your problem is leafpad
[05:18] <goddard> your system is screwed up from the looks of it
[05:18] <sudo__> LOl. i just installed it.
[05:19] <goddard> odd
[05:19] <goddard> what have you done so far?
[05:19] <sudo__> Nothing much
[05:19] <sudo__> installed docky ...
[05:19] <sudo__> that's it
[05:20] <goddard> ppa?
[05:20] <sudo__> no.. i have not installed any other repositiory
[11:15] <Smurphy> Just got my 120GB SSD Drive. Guess we'll know later if installing LUbuntu 64Bit on a Mac min 2,1 will work as I would like to.
[11:18] <Dragnslcr> Roey- yeah, that's a bit confusing that it uses the term "pair". It should work with any computer on the same local network. I use it with my desktop that's on a wired connection to the router.
[11:29] <sukant> Is it safe to use Ubuntu SoftwareCenter in Kubuntu ?
[11:32] <sukant> ????
[11:33] <lethu> yes but it's an ugly practice
[11:33] <lethu> as it uses gtk
[11:33] <lethu> and kde is qt
[11:34] <sukant> muon is not working
[11:34] <sukant> it says authentication not provided
[11:34] <sukant> i also tried to run it as root
[11:37] <lethu> try Synaptic
[11:37] <lethu> it should be better than both
[11:37] <lethu> and doesn't have gtk dependencies iirc
[11:41] <sukant> Synaptic is also GTK based
[12:30] <Smurphy> Amazing. I managed to boot KUbuntu 64 on my mac-mini 2,1 which uses an 32Bit EFI ... *rofl*
[12:30] <Smurphy> let's see how the installation goes (Just had replaced the Disk drive with a 120GB SSD).,
[12:33] <tytan> Smurphy: Let me know if it works out of the box, pleas
[12:35] <tytan> I have a MacBook Pro 2012 13" non retina and I plan to install a linux based OS on it when apple stops to support it with their OS
[12:38] <Smurphy> tytan: That one should not have an issue. I am running KUbuntu on a macmin 6,2 (2012) without an issue for ages now.
[12:38] <tytan> Did you do anything special or did you just install it like on any other PC?
[12:39] <Smurphy> The problem with the 2007 macmini 2,1 is that it has a 32Bit EFI running on 64Bit hardware. I had to create a installer image with a 32Bit EFI loader for that one.
[12:39] <Smurphy> Your device is a pure 64Bit device. Take a USB stick, downlado the ISO image, put the stick into your Mac and hold the Option key down while rebooting.
[12:39] <Smurphy> Tell it to boot Kubuntu and "try" it out.
[12:49] <tytan> Well, that works like a charm

[14:09] <Kruzer> Hello all
[14:10] <soee_> hiho
[14:13] <Smurphy> johnhoffmann; ola. O meu portugues no e bom - pero percebo un poco :}
[14:14] <Kruzer> Hi soee  whats up?
[14:15] <abhigenie92> hi guys!
[14:17] <Kruzer> Hi abhigenie
[14:19] <Kruzer> Just trying out my new NAS  muahahaha
[14:25] <matthieu_> hello
[14:25] <soee_> hiho
 Hi there
[14:27] <abhigenie92> I was facing a minor issue with kubuntu 16.04. Posting:
[14:28] <abhigenie92> I was trying to install kubuntu 16.04 on laptop with dual boot which currently runs windows 10. Two problems I encountered: 1. On booting I select start Kubuntu it shows me this(http://imgur.com/8ttdpjk) and boots normally. Should I be worried about this? 2. It shows no setup screen like try kubuntu or install kubuntu. But on desktop it shows install kubuntu icon which opens the setup screen, should I install via this?
[14:29] <matthieu_> abhidenie92, no need to worry about the weird screen and yes you should install Kubuntu via the icon on the desktop
[14:30] <matthieu_> I am experiencing this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-driver-manager/+bug/1530523
[14:30] <abhigenie92> matthieu_: thanks, mate!
[14:30] <matthieu_> abhigenie92 no problem! :)
[14:35] <abhigenie92> I was using kubuntu 15.10 with intel gpu and it worked awesome. I am trying to install on other laptop which has NVIDIA GeForce 940M (4 GB DDR3L dedicated). Should I install any additional drivers?
[14:35] <abhigenie92> Complete specs: http://www.hpshopping.in/HP_Pavilion_Notebook_-_15-ab549tx#specs_info
[14:38] <habits> Abhigenie, yes, you can additionally install the NVIDIA drivers. It is not mandatory of course, but you might need using the GeForce if you are playing some games.
[14:40] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[14:52] <abhigenie92> I am in a grave problem. I was installing kubuntu 16.04. I closed the lid, login screen come up. It is asking password, when I enter it. It shows Unlocking failed.
[14:52] <abhigenie92> I was at 75%, how screwed am I?
[14:52] <soee> capslock active and wrong pass ?
[14:53] <soee> ah wait but the message is on black screen?
[14:53] <EvilRoey> hey hey soee
[14:53] <abhigenie92> soee: no the normal login screen
[14:54] <abhigenie92> soee: I suspect if the keyboard layout has something to do with it. I am entering the correct password
[14:54] <soee> abhigenie92: and if you try without password ?
[14:54] <marco-parillo> If you are still installing, then it is not your password yet, correct? The default password during installation is blank, right?
[14:54] <EvilRoey> soee: so get this.. in the interim, I have dolphin open on my laptop, with one pane open to fish:// desktop's music archive folder, and the right panel open to the phone's storage
[14:55] <abhigenie92> marco-parillo: soee yeah that makes sense. But if I leave the field blank and click on Unlock it shows Unlocking failed.
[14:56] <habits> Closing the lid or suspending the system causes me trouble on 16.04 . Sometimes when you wake up the PC after suspending the login screen freezes.
[14:58] <abhigenie92> habits: I am in between in the installation. Forcing a shutdown is something I won't want to try.
[15:02] <abhigenie92> Create Session does nothing.
[15:11] <abhigenie92> any suggestions.
[15:11] <mtn> abhigenie92: if you are in the middle of the install, you can easily start over again
[15:12] <mtn> abhigenie92: and don't close the lid next time ;)
[15:13] <abhigenie92> mtn: it would have created the partition by now.
[15:13] <abhigenie92> that should not be good.
[15:13] <mtn> abhigenie92: ok, how is that a problem?
[15:14] <abhigenie92> mtn it would written the changes to the disk right?
[15:14] <mtn> abhigenie92: you have to create a partition before it will install anyway
[15:14] <mtn> abhigenie92: agian, how is that a problem?
[15:15] <mtn> abhigenie92: simply start over and don't close the lid. let it finish the install
[15:16] <abhigenie92> mtn: Thanks, but is there any other way? what is the default password?
[15:16] <abhigenie92> I have tried kubuntu,ubuntu,kde,toor
[15:16] <mtn> abhigenie92: no idea. why not do as I suggest? what do you have to lose except a bit of time?
[15:17] <abhigenie92> mtn: so I force shutdown and install again.
[15:17] <mtn> abhigenie92: sure, why not?
[15:17] <abhigenie92> it will overwrite the partition earlier?
[15:17] <mtn> abhigenie92: sure
[15:26] <abhigenie92> any suggestions?
[16:31] <vorap2> Hey people. I have a question. I want to use the nvidia drivers but still be able to use my motherboards internal gpu. Is this even possible? I can only have two screens on my graphics card (GTX 460) but I can have 4 more on my internal gpu
[16:32] <vorap2> I basically want to have two monitors on my graphics card and one more on my internal gpi
[16:32] <vorap2> gpu**
[17:09] <Smurphy> Ok. I now have a problem.
[17:09] <Smurphy> I managed to install without too many problems 64Bit Kubuntu 16.04 on my old mac-mini with 32Bit EFI firmware.
[17:10] <Smurphy> But - 5 times out of 6 - after a reboot, WiFi/network manager won't bring the Wireless up.
[17:10] <Smurphy> Any idea ?
[17:10] <lethu> have you checked dmesg?
[17:14] <Smurphy> yes. Says nothing...
[17:15] <Smurphy> Thing is - I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that I isntalled it using ethernet.
[17:15] <Smurphy> The entwork manager does not show the "WiFi" part. No idea why.
[17:19] <Smurphy> Hmmm. restarting the network-manager helps.
[17:19] <Smurphy> The error-message is weird ->
[17:20] <Smurphy> Failed to update connection <SSID>
[17:20] <BluesKaj> Smurphy:  i had a similar problem on my laptop after installing the oS while connected via ethernet. right click on the nm widget "configure network connections" and delete the ethernet connection, the  try connecting via wifi .
[17:20] <Smurphy> connection-gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value "30189248" of type "guint" is invalid or out of range for property "gateway-ping-timeout" of type 'guint'
[17:20] <Smurphy> lol
[17:21] <Smurphy> BluesKaj: I can do that -> With deleting the ethernet stuff...
[17:21] <BluesKaj> oh that error , gotta update and upgrade
[17:21] <Smurphy> Already done ...
[17:22] <Smurphy> or - do you mean I have to upgrade plasma ?>
[17:22] <BluesKaj> and try full-upgrade
[17:23] <Smurphy> it is a fresh installation of 16.04 with all updates applied.
[17:23] <Smurphy> full-upgrade won't give me anything.
[17:25] <Smurphy> Ok -m restarting the network mananger fixed it.
[17:25] <Smurphy> Now - last issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/767429/ubuntu-16-04-graphics-crashes-with-intel-graphics
[17:26] <Smurphy> OK - my mini is 9 years old - but the X Experience is smooth :D
[17:34] <zealoushacker> Hi folks, question for y’all: I’d like to launch a Kubuntu AMI on AWS. Should I fire up a regular Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type and then apt-get kubuntu-desktop?
[18:34] <johan> I'm frustrated by the new Kubuntu :(
[18:35] <johan> I have to click the K-menu several times before it responds (no I'm not just impatient)
[18:35] <johan> Amarok doesn't play anything.  Or I'm too stupid to use it.
[18:35] <johan> Use to be "Import Music Dir", "Press PLAY"
[18:36] <lethu> johan: you have to install gstreamer dirty via your package manager
[18:36] <johan> When I change theme stuff, some windows change dynamically, others need to be restarted.  I mean WTF!?
[18:36] <lethu> in order to play mp3's etc...
[18:37] <johan> lethu? Erm OK....
[18:39] <johan> Why doesn't the Theme work for everything?
[18:40] <lethu> you have to logout login in order for it to be fully applied some times
[18:41] <johan> lethu OK that seems to have worked.
[18:41] <johan> Thank you
[18:41] <lethu> johan:  np :)
[18:42] <johan> How come I often (9% of the time) have to click the K-menu multiple times to display it?
[18:42] <johan> And then it displays on the wrong monitor!?
[18:42] <johan> 99% of the time
[18:42] <johan> Usually I must click 3 times.
[19:12] <Guest73135> i am once again in love with KDE.
[19:14] <hay207__> Hi guys, i have amd/intel hybrid card, amd opensource driver won't recognize the amd card
[19:51] <Quantos> I'm having a problem with my USB wifi dongle
[19:51] <Quantos> KUbuntu 15.10
[19:51] <Quantos> And the dongle doesn't show up on lsusb
[19:52] <mtn> Quantos: if it does not show up on lsusb, then it is not supported by the kernel. perhaps it needs a driver or firmware?
[19:53] <soee> still using 15.10 ?
[19:55] <mtn> Quantos: a newer kernel may help, too. upgrading to 16 seems like a good idea
[19:57] <craiger> so, was it just me or is "apt-get kubuntu desktop" on a stock Xenial install a poor choice?
[19:57] <craiger> installing from kubuntu iso media worked *much* better?
[20:01] <goddard> craiger: it isn't as good as installing kubuntu itself
[20:01] <Quantos> I think it actually died mtn, it's not supported on my backup system too
[20:01] <Quantos> Bummer
[20:01] <Quantos> Thanks for the help though
[20:01] <mtn> Quantos: welcome
[20:02] <Quantos> It seems fishy to me that it was working and then just stopped
[20:02] <Quantos> I think i witnessed my first hardware failure
[20:13] <tulips> i think my kubuntu 16.04  is having trouble fetching updates.... it showed that there were updates available in the new software center and i rebooted and now its not finding updates
[20:13] <tulips> i couldnt load the updates before i rebooted
[20:18] <mtn> tulips: try it using synaptic
[20:22] <tulips> i will... i tried doing it with upgrade and dist-upgrade commands in the terminal
[20:22] <tulips> OHH
[20:22] <tulips> i could try switching servers maybe
[23:44] <user|98853> is there a guide for installing new splash screens for 16.04? I tried installing new desktop themes but it doesn't seem to give me anything other than the default breeze splash screen.
