| viewer|33066 | Hi can anyone help , i installed kubuntu a while back on my hp pavillion a6202n desktop and i am trying to re install windows 7 pro from a usb key , my bios does not boot from usb , can it be done from inside kubuntu | 01:17 |
|---|---|---|
| viewer|33066 | well thanks anyway | 01:19 |
| valorie | viewer|33066: windows likes to be first, not second | 01:19 |
| viewer|33066 | yeah i know | 01:19 |
| valorie | do you already have win installed, and just want to re-install? | 01:19 |
| viewer|33066 | no lost it when i install kubuntu | 01:20 |
| valorie | also: you only asked two mins ago! | 01:20 |
| valorie | ah | 01:20 |
| viewer|33066 | yes i want to try to re-install | 01:20 |
| valorie | so do you have a partition that Windows likes? | 01:20 |
| valorie | like ntfs or FAT? | 01:21 |
| viewer|33066 | seems not but im not great with linux so i kinda screwed up , | 01:21 |
| valorie | !windows | 01:22 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 01:22 |
| viewer|33066 | the usb key is ntfs | 01:22 |
| valorie | oh pfff, ubottu | 01:22 |
| valorie | I think first you will need to make a ntfs partition | 01:22 |
| valorie | !dualboot | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 01:22 |
| valorie | there we go | 01:23 |
| valorie | viewer|33066: please read and follow that first link | 01:23 |
| valorie | the folks who wrote it know much more than I | 01:23 |
| viewer|33066 | well thanks valorie i guess i will pull out the drive and reformat then dual boot | 01:23 |
| valorie | ? | 01:23 |
| valorie | that's not at all what I suggested | 01:23 |
| viewer|33066 | i know its just the only way i know | 01:24 |
| valorie | how will you boot if you reformat? | 01:24 |
| valorie | I just gave you the link to follow | 01:24 |
| viewer|33066 | format using my laptop the reinstall dual boot | 01:24 |
| valorie | once you format, you will have NO os | 01:25 |
| valorie | not windows, not linux | 01:25 |
| valorie | I said to PARTITION | 01:25 |
| viewer|33066 | yup restart all | 01:25 |
| valorie | not re-format the whole thing | 01:25 |
| valorie | !partition | 01:26 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap | 01:26 |
| viewer|33066 | okay i will go to check that link thanks all | 01:26 |
| valorie | good luck | 01:26 |
| goddard | imagemagik recently had a big bug | 01:54 |
| goddard | is that only an issue on servers | 01:54 |
| valorie | goddard: mostly only on servers, yes | 02:03 |
| valorie | however I filed a bug and recently heard that the fix will be out tomorrow for ubuntu | 02:03 |
| valorie | the fix will be backported to all the supported releases | 02:04 |
| valorie | !info qtwebengine | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Package qtwebengine does not exist in xenial | 02:05 |
| valorie | true enough, ubottu | 02:06 |
| goddard | valorie: thats good | 02:19 |
| === omen is now known as Guest18570 | ||
| goddard | valorie: why is it used on the desktop though? | 02:20 |
| valorie | why is imagemagick used on the desktop? | 02:21 |
| goddard | valorie: yeah its installed by default | 02:50 |
| valorie | it's part of the packageset because many people use it to mass edit their photos, etc. | 02:58 |
| valorie | and have been for many years | 02:58 |
| valorie | !imagemagick | 02:59 |
| valorie | nope, ubottu doesn't know | 02:59 |
| valorie | but a bit of googling will find you the magick | 02:59 |
| goddard | valorie: ok so it isn't required | 03:00 |
| valorie | no, certainly not | 03:01 |
| valorie | what goes on the DVD is partly what the core ubuntu devs put there, and partly what we decide our own packageset will be | 03:01 |
| goddard | i see | 03:02 |
| goddard | i also asked on the forum why they didn't include calligra instead of libreoffice | 03:02 |
| valorie | in general, we provide KDE software, but sometimes other stuff | 03:02 |
| goddard | they said because of file format saving | 03:02 |
| valorie | we didn't think calligra was ready yet | 03:02 |
| valorie | we hope it will be soon | 03:03 |
| valorie | we used to provide Konqueror, for instance | 03:03 |
| valorie | and now Dolphin and Firefox instead | 03:03 |
| valorie | libreoffice and ff are the two exceptions to the KDE-only policy | 03:04 |
| valorie | well, that I can think of | 03:04 |
| goddard | valorie: software source | 03:05 |
| goddard | that is gtk right? | 03:05 |
| goddard | its in unity as well so i just assumed | 03:06 |
| valorie | what is gtk? | 03:08 |
| valorie | oh, I think the theming in FF is | 03:08 |
| goddard | http://www.gtk.org/ | 03:09 |
| valorie | but we have a package that beautifies that somewhat | 03:09 |
| valorie | oh, I know what gtk is | 03:09 |
| goddard | that is basically what gnome uses | 03:09 |
| goddard | kde uses Qt | 03:09 |
| valorie | I didn't know to what you were referring | 03:09 |
| goddard | oh ok | 03:09 |
| valorie | yes....... I know this | 03:09 |
| valorie | Unity also uses Qt these days | 03:09 |
| goddard | yeah unity 8 soon | 03:10 |
| valorie | in fact we no longer (we=kubuntu) package Qt | 03:10 |
| goddard | oh yeah? its upstream now | 03:10 |
| valorie | and that has in fact held us back some, because would prefer a newer Qt than Ubuntu wants | 03:10 |
| valorie | we would, I mean | 03:11 |
| goddard | Does KDE-Neon solve that? | 03:11 |
| valorie | well, Neon is in charge of their own packages, if that's what you mean | 03:11 |
| goddard | i just figured they package Qt and KDE base | 03:12 |
| valorie | afaik they do not yet have Qt 5.6 either | 03:12 |
| goddard | but i haven't looked at all of it | 03:12 |
| valorie | yet | 03:12 |
| valorie | so it could be a blessing to us, because evidently 5.6.0 was buggy | 03:12 |
| goddard | have you tested adding the apt source to 16.04 yet? | 03:13 |
| valorie | perhaps 5.6.1 will be better | 03:13 |
| valorie | I'm running 16.10 on two of my boxes | 03:13 |
| goddard | oh yeah? what does that change? | 03:13 |
| valorie | I wanted Plasma 6 sooner | 03:14 |
| goddard | ahh | 03:14 |
| goddard | i really want the new Qt Creator | 03:15 |
| valorie | !info qtcreator | 03:15 |
| ubottu | qtcreator (source: qtcreator): lightweight integrated development environment (IDE) for Qt. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.1+dfsg-2ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 12108 kB, installed size 44224 kB | 03:15 |
| goddard | version 4 has a refreshed UI | 03:15 |
| goddard | among other things | 03:15 |
| valorie | has it been released? | 03:15 |
| goddard | by Qt | 03:15 |
| valorie | if so, file a bug in launchpad asking that it be packaged | 03:16 |
| valorie | I think Ubuntu does that, since they use it | 03:16 |
| valorie | we package kdevelop | 03:16 |
| valorie | if you know where the tarballs are, link that in your bug report | 03:17 |
| goddard | another good app | 03:17 |
| goddard | ok | 03:17 |
| valorie | easiest way to file a bug: `ubuntu-bug qtcreator` | 03:18 |
| valorie | in the cli | 03:18 |
| goddard | oh nice | 03:18 |
| valorie | if possible, I always try to do it that way | 03:18 |
| tiox | . | 04:32 |
| tiox | Alright, I can send to channel. Can somebody perform ;xdg-open uery default inode/directory' on their desktop, for anyone using dolphin? | 04:33 |
| tiox | Ahem.... | 04:33 |
| tiox | 'xdg-open query default inode/directory' rather. | 04:33 |
| tiox | Nah. I am tired. My apologies. | 04:34 |
| tiox | 'xdg-mime query default inode/directory' for the last time. This time I have it right. | 04:34 |
| tiox | Sorry for being so stupid. | 04:34 |
| abhishek | hi guys! | 04:41 |
| abhishek | I was facing a wifi issue with laptop. I am able to connect to wifi but it doesn't transmit data for the internet to work | 04:42 |
| abhishek | More details: http://askubuntu.com/questions/772180/wifi-not-working-realtek | 04:42 |
| abhishek | any ideas folks? | 04:43 |
| valorie | abhishek: I've not heard anything since you last spoke here about it | 05:11 |
| valorie | you might ask in #ubuntu which is a much larger channel | 05:11 |
| valorie | I don't think this issue is caused by KDE or Kubuntu specifically | 05:11 |
| valorie | in fact, it seems to be a kernel problem | 05:13 |
| valorie | it's unfortunate that people are discussing these problems in blog posts, askubuntu etc. and not filing good bug reports | 05:14 |
| valorie | if it were me, I'd write to the Ubuntu-kernel list and explain the issue you are having, and ask what sort of bug report would help get this fixed | 05:15 |
| abhishek | valorie, hi thanks for the reply! I am new to linux how can I post to kernel list ? | 05:18 |

| rajiv1 | I have installed kubuntu today. everything works fine except the default "software center (discover)". whenever i opened it, it is not working properly, it is so laggy. will anybody please tell me why this is happening? How to sole this problem? | 11:00 |
| soee | rajiv1: it is just buggy, we cant do much here - it is KDE appliction | 11:02 |
| soee | i suggest using muon | 11:02 |
| soee | !muon | 11:03 |
| ubottu | Muon is the current Kubuntu package manager. Please see http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/introducing-qapt-and-the-muon-package-manager/ for an overview | 11:03 |
| rajiv1 | soee: then what is the better way to install software in kubuntu 16.04? | 11:03 |
| soee | rajiv1: install muon - it is package maneger | 11:04 |
| rajiv1 | soee: so discover is buggy for you as well. | 11:05 |
| soee | rajiv1: it is buggy but i do not use it at all | 11:05 |
| rajiv1 | soee: can i install packages by using apt-get from the terminal? | 11:06 |
| soee | rajiv1: sure | 11:06 |
| soee | rajiv1: but use just 'apt' | 11:06 |
| soee | sudo apt install some-package | 11:07 |
| rajiv1 | ubottu: why not "apt-get" | 11:07 |
| ubottu | rajiv1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:07 |
| rajiv1 | soee: why not "apt-get"? | 11:08 |
| soee | rajiv1: apt is modern one, it has proggress bar, async downloading etc. | 11:08 |
| soee | !apt | 11:09 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 11:09 |
| rajiv1 | ubottu: it doesn't matter weather we are intelligent or a bot. the only thing that matters is 'we help each others':) | 11:11 |
| ubottu | rajiv1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:11 |
| rajiv1 | ubottu: is muon installed by default in kubuntu 16.04? | 11:12 |
| ubottu | rajiv1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:12 |
| soee | rajiv1: it is not, install it :) | 11:12 |
| rajiv1 | soee: thank you:) | 11:13 |
| rajiv1 | soee: what is the keyboard shortcut to open terminal in kubuntu? | 11:15 |
| soee | hmm i don know i use yakuake :] | 11:16 |
| soee | !yakuake | 11:16 |
| hateball | rajiv1: there is no default shortcut | 11:17 |
| hateball | You can assign ctrl+alt+t or some such to launch Konsole tho | 11:18 |
| rajiv1 | hateball: how do i make one? | 11:18 |
| hateball | rajiv1: open krunner (alt+space) search for global shortcuts | 11:18 |
| hateball | and there you can make a new one | 11:18 |
| hateball | oh my bad, I see the wording has changed in 16.04 | 11:19 |
| hateball | rajiv1: search for "khotkeys" | 11:20 |
| rajiv1 | hateball: whenever i search for khotkeys , the global shortcuts window has closed. | 11:22 |
| tytan | Hello, everyone | 11:24 |
| soee | hiho tytan | 11:25 |
| tytan | Can I expect KDE Plasma 5.6 in Kubuntu 16.04.1? =) | 11:25 |
| soee | tytan: yes | 11:30 |
| tytan | Is there any place on the internet where I can read what to expect with Kubuntu 16.04.1 LTS? | 11:30 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 11:31 |
| tytan | BluesKaj: hi | 11:32 |
| BluesKaj | hi tytan | 11:33 |
| tytan | what are you bdoing? I'm just jamming on my guitar while being here ^^ | 11:49 |
| tytan | mausschubser: what a name :'D nice | 11:51 |
| rajiv1 | Monkeydust: what is the difference between "synaptic" and "muon" package managers? | 11:53 |
| soee | syadmin: is gtk based, muon qt | 11:54 |
| soee | *synapti | 11:54 |
| soee | c | 11:54 |
| rajiv1 | soee: sorry its 'synaptic' | 11:55 |
| acheron88 | synaptic has more options and features, but is also a bit long in the tooth | 12:06 |
| BluesKaj | muon works well here, I mean the standard nondefault muon, not muon-discover | 12:08 |
| acheron88 | muon could be really great if it was developed a bit more | 12:10 |
| otjura | acheron88: what's lacking? | 12:10 |
| kroot_ | hi | 12:14 |
| BluesKaj | acheron88: muon works well as a reference for package info and dependencies etc | 12:16 |
| acheron88 | just a few things like savable custom search filter, being able to generate package downod scripts etc | 12:24 |
| acheron88 | BluesKaj: true. I do fall back to apt/apt-get a lot | 12:25 |
| omkar_ | hi all,would I get a kubuntu dvd shipped on my address for free? | 12:50 |
| hateball | omkar_: I dont think you can even buy official kubuntu DVDs any longer | 12:52 |
| omkar_ | ok so only option is download | 13:02 |
| omkar_ | earlier i use to order dvds from ubuntu website so that if they are still providing it that way | 13:02 |

| user|24126 | hi, can someone help me? i have a doubt regarding kubuntu | 14:44 |
| DetroitBadBoy | What's the doubt? | 14:45 |
| user|24126 | is kubuntu just ubuntu with KDE or it's totally different? | 14:45 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Ubuntu is the base OS. Techs have created the different 'flavors' so that there is an interest in no matter which one you choose | 14:46 |
| user|24126 | so ubuntu and kubuntu gets the same updates at the same time? | 14:48 |
| DetroitBadBoy | No | 14:48 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Depending on the desktop format and various other things determines the rate of updating | 14:48 |
| DetroitBadBoy | You can always manually check for updates any time | 14:49 |
| user|24126 | ok, thank you for your help :) | 14:49 |

| parveen | how can i write in libreoffice in hindi language. please help me on this | 15:48 |
| D-rex | parveen: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?lang=pick | 15:49 |
| parveen | bro this will download the whole libreoffice. i already have libreoffice on my system. can i just download only language from settings or something like that. | 15:52 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen: try this link http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/languagetool | 15:54 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen: you can also click Tools > options> Language Settings > Languages > Locale Settings. That will give you the option to choose a language to translate to | 15:58 |
| === parveen is now known as parveen_ | ||
| parveen_ | how can i install another language from system settings. i am using kubuntu 16.04 | 16:11 |
| DetroitBadBoy | open libreoffice then click Tools > options> Language Settings > Languages > Locale Settings. | 16:12 |
| DetroitBadBoy | From there you can see all the language options available | 16:13 |
| DetroitBadBoy | You will see 2 checkboxes near the bottom of that screen. One of them is for complexe language layout. Hindi is listed there also | 16:14 |
| DetroitBadBoy | I suggest you try those settings and options | 16:14 |
| === pavel_ is now known as PavelM | ||
| parveen_ | i did this and it is showing hindi in bottom bar of libreoffice but when i start typing it is typing in english | 16:26 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_: open konsole. Type sudo apt install libreoffice-help-hi | 16:27 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_ after install that you should then type in konsole sudo apt install l10n-hi | 16:28 |
| parveen_ | it is showing unable to locate package libreoffice-help-hi | 16:29 |
| parveen_ | not working bro | 16:30 |
| parveen_ | second one is showing that command not found | 16:30 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_: the only other option to resolve is to uinstall libreoffice, then re-install it using the option for additional languages during install | 16:30 |
| parveen_ | how can i do that | 16:31 |
| parveen_ | please elaborate | 16:31 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_: run these commands one at a time. That will uninstall libreoffice -- sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* | 16:33 |
| DetroitBadBoy | sudo apt-get clean | 16:33 |
| DetroitBadBoy | sudo apt-get autoremove | 16:33 |
| parveen_ | in system settings how can i download regional languages so that i can make my UI in different language. | 16:36 |
| parveen_ | i don't remember from where regional language are downloaded. | 16:36 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_: I assume you have not uninstalled libreoffice yet, correct? | 16:38 |
| parveen_ | yes | 16:38 |
| DetroitBadBoy | parveen_: I feel the only option left would be to choose the first link given to you. It will overwrite your existing libreoffice but it should not later any documents you have save for changing the language | 16:43 |
| DetroitBadBoy | alter, not later | 16:43 |

| rajiv1 | what is the command to get information about a package? | 21:15 |
| mparillo | For rekonq, for example, apt-cache policy rekonq | 21:20 |
| acheron88 | depends what information you want | 21:20 |
| acheron88 | 'apt-cache show' and 'apt-cache showpkg' also show info | 21:22 |
| rajiv1 | acheron88: thankyou:) | 21:25 |
| yotux | is there a way to fix missing icons in kde apps? | 22:49 |
| bprompt | yotux: yes, choose another icon :) | 22:50 |
| bprompt | depends on what icons you're referring, but toolbar wise, you can configure the icons to whatever you want | 22:51 |
| yotux | kmymoney is missing most icons | 22:51 |
| yotux | not sure if there is a way to map icons to the program or not | 22:52 |
| bprompt | yotux: ok.... hmmm I don't use kmymoney for one... but another workaround, maybe changing the kde theme, since I think the issue may be the current theme icon set, the app may not do pngs or xpm or whatever the theme is using | 22:53 |
| bprompt | yotux: depends on what "map icons to program" mean | 22:53 |
| yotux | I am using default theme on kubuntu 16.04 | 22:54 |
| bprompt | yotux: maybe you should get another one then :) kde-look.org | 22:54 |
| yotux | thanks | 22:55 |
| bprompt | yotux: but it may be that | 22:55 |
| valorie | it isn't broken for everybody | 23:07 |
| valorie | oops, responded to old post, ignore the noise | 23:08 |
| fuze | anyone know how to fix this error: org.kde.plasma: unversioned plugin detected, may result in instability | 23:13 |
| bprompt | fuze: when do you get that? | 23:19 |
| fuze | bprompt: running plasmashell as it keeps crashing | 23:20 |
| bprompt | hmmm | 23:22 |
| bprompt | fuze: try deleting -> ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, logout, log back in | 23:23 |
| fuze | will that delete all my settings? | 23:23 |
| fuze | bprompt: | 23:24 |
| bprompt | fuze: nope, for the applets, or plasmoids only AFAIK | 23:24 |
| bprompt | fuze: kde or kwin to be exact, uses .kde folder to store kde settings still, but they've moved the apps settings to ~/.config now | 23:25 |
| bprompt | fuze: issue seems to be, a plasmoid installed or active is choking it | 23:25 |
| fuze | bprompt: still have the error | 23:27 |
| bprompt | fuze: cheap answer is, if unplugging one cable doesn't make it stop, pull out all the cables =) hehehe, back up your .kde and .config first, then try removing some configuration files that may be choking the session | 23:28 |
| fuze | bprompt: i dont think that error is the cause of the crash, i just want to know why its there | 23:29 |
| fuze | it crashes randomly | 23:29 |
| valorie | fuze: what version of Kubuntu are you running? | 23:30 |
| bprompt | fuze: well, you asked on how to address the plugin error, and you mentioned that plasmashell was getting crashed due to it | 23:31 |
| valorie | bprompt: since 15.10, the ~/.kde is only used for KDE4 applications | 23:31 |
| fuze | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wKAQlrRq/snapshot4.png | 23:31 |
| valorie | plasmashell uses ~/.local or /.config | 23:31 |
| bprompt | valorie: kde apps are not useing ~/.kde/share/config now though, they use ~/.config | 23:31 |
| valorie | all the ported ones, do, yes | 23:32 |
| fuze | is this normal: http://pastebin.com/QLp8tdeM | 23:33 |
| fuze | i dont even know what qpainter is | 23:33 |
| bprompt | fuze: sounds like a corrupted qml or thereabouts | 23:35 |
| fuze | bprompt: how can i locate it | 23:35 |
| bprompt | fuze: and yes, depending on how apps man handle exception errors or checks, they can crash or not | 23:36 |
| fuze | ok what should i do | 23:36 |
| bprompt | fuze: cheap answer is, if unplugging one cable doesn't make it stop, pull out all the cables =) hehehe, back up your .kde and .config first, then try removing some configuration files that may be choking the session | 23:36 |
| fuze | im really a noob and have no idea what to do | 23:37 |
| bprompt | fuze: many of the apps, will simply recreate a default configuration file | 23:37 |
| bprompt | fuze: so, just remove many, start off with ~/.config/ only the kde ones, leave everyone else alone there, but back it up first | 23:38 |
| fuze | file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement/contents/ui/main.qml: QML Plasmoid: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling. | 23:43 |
| fuze | bprompt: is that normal? | 23:43 |
| bprompt | hehh | 23:44 |
| bprompt | obviously not =) | 23:44 |
| fuze | what does it mean? | 23:45 |
| bprompt | cannot anchor to a parent, XML wise, simply means, the qml (QT markup language file), is malformed, meaning is either corruped or syntactically malformed | 23:45 |
| DetroitBadBoy | fuze: sounds like you have missing widgets | 23:45 |
| bprompt | s/corruped/corrupted/ | 23:46 |
| fuze | DetroitBadBoy: is there a command to list widgets | 23:46 |
| DetroitBadBoy | fuze: are you running the plasma 5 desktop? | 23:48 |
| fuze | yes | 23:48 |
| DetroitBadBoy | ok... press ALT & F2 together. A bar will show up at the top of the screen | 23:49 |
| DetroitBadBoy | from there you type Discover | 23:49 |
| DetroitBadBoy | When you see the listing for discover simply click on it | 23:49 |
| DetroitBadBoy | when that screen opens you can click on Installed to see what is installed | 23:49 |
| fuze | what is that bar called? | 23:49 |
| fuze | krunner? | 23:50 |
| fuze | i have it set to alt space | 23:50 |
| DetroitBadBoy | yes | 23:50 |
| DetroitBadBoy | ok | 23:50 |
| DetroitBadBoy | open krunner then type Discover | 23:50 |
| fuze | ok i got it | 23:50 |
| DetroitBadBoy | click on the listing then click on installed. It will show you every widget and app that is installed on your computer | 23:50 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Qpainter is a widget to create graphics | 23:51 |
| fuze | dont see it | 23:51 |
| fuze | i also installed two weather widgets and when i try to uninstall them it just shows a yellow icon to undo uninstall | 23:53 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Well from what you posted in your last link, it seemed as if your OS was trying to grab Qpainter | 23:53 |
| DetroitBadBoy | I'm beginning to suspect a lot of corruption in your system | 23:54 |
| DetroitBadBoy | How long ago did you install kubuntu? | 23:54 |
| fuze | a year | 23:54 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Any recent drastic changes? | 23:55 |
| fuze | i had bad ram which was replaced | 23:55 |
| fuze | new video card | 23:55 |
| DetroitBadBoy | I hope whoever replaced it grounded themselves first heh heh | 23:55 |
| fuze | it was me :p | 23:55 |
| fuze | i did not :/ | 23:55 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Was the machine running OK after the install of ram and the vid card? | 23:56 |
| fuze | yes windows now works perfectly | 23:56 |
| DetroitBadBoy | windows, yes.... but kubuntu... questionable heh heh | 23:57 |
| fuze | ok looks like the weather widgets are gone | 23:57 |
| DetroitBadBoy | Did you install kubuntu side by side with windows? | 23:57 |
| fuze | yes | 23:59 |
