jimtendo-X202EPHi all, anyone know what parameter I might be able to add while booting from GRUB to make Kubuntu 16.04 boot into a terminal (as opposed to KDE)?00:21

xRabbitxyo im new to irc so i dont know the etiquette. But im having some issues, can someone help me?03:48
xRabbitxanyone had this problem, you type: sudo whatever command, and then it prompts username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.03:50
xRabbitx?03:50
xRabbitxall solutions i have found ironically require root access03:51
ahoneybunI've seen it03:52
ahoneybunmeans you don't have permission to use sudo03:53
ahoneybun!info sudo03:53
ubottusudo (source: sudo): Provide limited super user privileges to specific users. In component main, is important. Version 1.8.16-0ubuntu1.1 (xenial), package size 386 kB, installed size 1664 kB03:53
ahoneybun!info sudoers03:53
ubottuPackage sudoers does not exist in xenial03:53
ahoneybunmm03:53
dax(sudoers is a file that you edit with visudo, both of which are contained in the sudo package)03:54
xRabbitxI mean i did have permission to use sudo, idk what changed03:54
ahoneybunvi might be a bit hard to new people03:54
daxand yes, in order to regain sudo access, which gives you root access, you need to have root access. if this weren't the case, it'd be rather trivial to get root access on things you're not supposed to :P03:54
daxahoneybun: it opens with default editor, so nano03:54
ahoneybunoh I still use nano <303:54
ahoneybunthanks for the info dax03:54
xRabbitxkate is my default03:54
* ahoneybun updates his machine to yakkety staging03:55
daxcorrect procedure here is "boot from livecd or in single user mode and edit /etc/sudoers", but I'm multitasking so can't walk through it03:55
dax!password03:55
ubottuForgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords03:55
daxfirst link describes single user mode03:56
xRabbitxi thought you were gonna say live disk :(, my bios has some issue with live usbs so i have to burn a cd. ok thanks i will edit the sudoers file03:57
xRabbitxcheers for your help03:58
mikeplus64anyone know why qt themes might not be applying in kubuntu 16.04 [actually ubuntu 16.04 after installing kubuntu-desktop]? everything is themed with the default (raleigh?) theme04:46
mikeplus64setting it in qtconfig[-qt4] does set the theme for qtconfig itself but nothing else, and changing it in systemsettings does nothing04:46
mikeplus64i can see the preview of the themes fine in systemsettings but it just doesn't apply04:47
mikeplus64er, i mean 'widget styles'04:47
valoriemikeplus64: a few people found that they had to change theme and then change back to get it to "stick"04:49
valorienobody has figured out why yet04:49
mikeplus64no luck after switching it back and forth and logging in/out just to be "sure"04:53
mikeplus64the icon theme also doesn't get applied, strange04:53
mikeplus64i think it's just qt5 things that don't get themed which is basically everything lol04:54
valoriedid you by chance run systemsettings as root or something?04:54
mikeplus64nope04:55
mikeplus64qt4 programs like cantata get themed04:55
valoriebecause that sounds possibly like a permissions issue04:55
mikeplus64the setting is retained in systemsettings04:56
mikeplus64hm, i changed the gtk2 theme in systemsettings -> app. style -> gnome application style, and now everything is themed using the gtk2 breeze style (it's just not the same, man :'()04:57
mikeplus64that's despite the qt widget style being breeze proper04:57
mikeplus64err, by everything i mean qt5 stuff04:58
valoriethat's extremely strange04:58
mikeplus64removing appmenu-qt5 seemed to fix it05:17
mikeplus64weird05:17
valoriemikeplus64: you might ask in #kde-devel about it -- not sure if that needs a BR or not, mikeplus6405:25
user|15230not update driver wireless05:28
user|15230please help05:28
valorieuser|15230: what makes you think you need to update?05:29
zodiac19Affraid to ask, but is anyone there?05:38
valoriepeople are here, for sure05:41
valoriebut that doesn't mean those of us paying attention can help ya05:42
zodiac19Eh, first time using a linux OS, I decided to get serious about  becoming a developer05:45
zodiac19not exactly looking for help so much as looking for someone who might be able to point me to a good developers channel05:46
ahoneybundeveloper apps or for a linux os?05:49
ahoneybunin #kubuntu-devel we work on Kubuntu05:49
zodiac19Actually @ahoneybun Game development and Operating system functions06:14
zodiac19not exactly apps so much as looking into creating different, simpler, or easier OS functions06:17
zodiac19right now though I'm barely a beginner developer, I'm learning Ruby and I dabble in Web dev.06:18
Elec_Ais this ppa safe : sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ivan-safonov/ppa ?06:23
Elec_AI want to experience live wallpapers in KDE Plasma 5.06:23
valoriezodiac19: hang out in #kubuntu-devel and see if you like it06:23
valoriewe use some Ruby and have some webdev work sometimes as well06:24
YankDownUnderElec_A: Um...where did you find that PPA?06:24
Elec_AYankDownUnder: In the description of this youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj8VSp3dTjU06:25
Elec_AYankDownUnder: and also here : https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12956106:25
YankDownUnderHmm...well, have fun with that...just always be careful about PPA's...because that IS part of your "core"...06:27
Elec_AYankDownUnder: So, how can I know if a ppa is safe or not ?06:27
zodiac19thanks valorie06:27
YankDownUnderElec_A: Well, it wouldn't be in a KDE forum (or other Ubuntu forum)...so, before adding something, it's a good call on your part to "suss" it out before anything else...paranoia is a good thing...06:28
Elec_AYankDownUnder: This ppa contains a package that will add snow effect on wallpaper (not tested yet myself).06:28
Elec_AYankDownUnder: Thanks :)06:29
ahoneybunany users PPA are untrusted other then them signing the Ubuntu CoC06:29
YankDownUnderElec_A: Rather be safe than sorry, eh? You'd be amazed at the amount of "crap" that some folks install...06:29
Elec_AGot it.  Thank you .06:30
Elec_AYankDownUnder: have you ever seen any live wallpapers on KDE Plasma 5?06:30
YankDownUnderYes. Personally, they're a waste of resource...however, for those that like "eyecandy" it's all fine and dandy...for me, though, I work...and it's merely annoying - and it's a waste of valuable system resources that I'd rather use on something productive... :) But that's *me*...06:31
Elec_Ayeah, makes sense. Thank you.06:32
YankDownUnderElec_A: All good, bro...06:33
user|80231Hi07:29
user|80231I did install Kubuntu64 16.04 yesterday completely fresh (I was until yesterday in Lubuntu64 minimal 16.04). I have 2 problems. Problem No. 1 the cursor often (but not always) let a trace on the screen of my Laptop and Problem No. 2 the apps often opens outside of the visible screen surface. Which values are to change where?07:33
user|8415здарова всем!)))07:35
YankDownUnderuser|80231: Have you looked in "System Settings" => "Display and Monitor" and made sure that your screen/screen size is correct?07:35
zodiac19_finding IRC channels is hard >.<07:37
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: Which channel are you looking for?07:38
user|80231Hi YankDownUnder I find the Systemsettings not in this version... (I use the for me New beautiful menu...)07:39
zodiac19_I'm actually looking for an open programming/development discussion channel07:39
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: Is the IRC client you're using not capable of downloading and viewing the entire Freenode channel listing? Because that's a huge plus, eh...07:40
zodiac19_not sure, completely new to linux and IRC Clients, Using Quassel07:41
YankDownUnderuser|80231: "System Settings" is part of every KDE/Plasma installation...if you click on the "K" menu, then "Applications", then "Settings", then "System Settings" - you should find it...07:42
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: Not familar with that client - however, nearly all IRC clients are able to "fetch" the channel listing...you might have to actually read the dox, hmm...07:42
zodiac19_ah I found a channel listing, thanks ^07:46
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: There are more than 15,000 channels...so looking for one, let alone a few, is a task...07:46
zodiac19_The search should be well worth it when i find what I'm looking for then XD07:47
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: You'll find what you're looking for...AND, if not on this service/server (Freenode), well, there are hundreds to choose from. :)07:48
zodiac19_I'd almost make my own channel, but then I wouldn't find the help I need lol07:51
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: Unless you're striving to help yourself, nah, wouldn't work very well...HOWEVER, that being said, sometimes, temporarily creating a channel with a specific "topic banner" can fetch some like-minded folks...you'll notice a heap of channels with "##" in front of them...07:52
zodiac19_and channels without descriptions07:54
zodiac19_I guess trying to start a channel it is for now O.o Wish me luck07:55
YankDownUnderzodiac19_: Good luck on that - and here is a link - just to acquaint you with IRC - and how to go about things...it's basic, but you'll get the picture - and you'll also find out just exactly how complex it can be (it's been around for a long long time, mate) => http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html07:57

TimHello :)!09:23
TimI have a problem and it would be very nice if somebody could help me please. So I'll just post my problem and hopefully I do not do anything wrong09:24
YankDownUnderPost away09:24
TimAfter having Kubuntu installed with the option for Auto-Login turned on, I now would like it to be off. I do not want to have an auto-login at start up (what makes every other login senseless).09:25
TimI have set it in the settings menu as "off" but that doesn't change anything. The button does not seem to be working (in the GUI).09:25
TimSo how can I deactivate the autologin after start up?09:26
TimI've found a wiki entry about LightDM and it's settings or config files09:27
YankDownUnderTim: Are you using the standard DM? Or something else? Is it LightDM?09:27
TimWell I'm not sure. I installed 16.04 Kubuntu LTS09:28
YankDownUnderhere's another one to look at: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/solved-disable-auto-login/146109:28
Timwhen I open that file - it is empty09:29
YankDownUnderSo basically, look at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf => you'll see a section [SeatDefaults] => and then autologin-user= NAME ===> so, just delete your username, leave it blank, save the file, restart the DM...should be right09:30
YankDownUnderTim: So if it's empty, WHAT is the DM that you're running? Is it "sddm" perhaps?09:30
YankDownUnderI'll wait for ya to come back.09:34

FinetundraGood evening everyone. For some reason my driver manager is not functioning. What would be the best way to get the proper nvidia drivers for my card?23:03
ahoneybunyou can install it from konsole if need be23:15
valorieFinetundra: sudo ubuntu-drivers list23:16
valoriefrom the cli23:16
ahoneybunyou can find the number http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us23:16
Finetundraahoneybun: so you reccomend me downloading and installing the one from the nvidia site?23:16
ahoneybunno, you could fine the version you need23:17
ahoneybunapt search nvidia-36* maybe23:17
ahoneybunbut the way valorie said is better23:17
ahoneybundid not know about that command23:17
FinetundraOh shoot, I completly overlooked what she said23:17
valorieheh23:17
FinetundraSorry :(23:18
valorienp, searching out what you need is best before you run the above command anyway23:18
valoriesince you will be given a choice23:18
Finetundrahmm, well 361 is the latest on offer from the command above but 367 is latest on the site23:19
FinetundraSo I should just use the one form the repos?23:19
ahoneybunthere is a graphics ppa23:20
ahoneybunfor newer versions23:20
ahoneybunhttps://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa23:20
ahoneybunjust be careful with PPA's23:20
ahoneybunthat is an official but you should know how to use ppa-purge if needed23:21
valorie!ppa-purge23:21
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html23:21
Finetundrato add it, sudo apt-add ppa: ppa:address, right?23:21
ahoneybunthanks valorie23:21
ahoneybunadd-apt-repoitory23:22
ahoneybunsays on that page ;)23:22
FinetundraAh right23:22
ahoneybunnice after adding the ppa, ubuntu-drivers list shows the new ones23:24

valorieI wasn't willing to try another driver without having my son around to fix23:26

valorieit's a newish gaming laptop23:27
valorieit was hard to find a linux distro that would run well on it23:27

IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I got the login23:30
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> clivejo that's broke atm23:31
Finetundraclivejo: doesn't function for whatever reason, but I can check it since I just added the new ppa. Doubt it'll make a difference though23:31
clivejoits fine its xapian is broken23:31
FinetundraWell, if you can tell me how to fix it I'm happy to follow along23:32
clivejoopen a terminal23:32

clivejoFinetundra: what version are you running?23:36
Finetundra16.0423:37
clivejoand you installed the package23:37
FinetundraThe one you told me to, yes23:37
ahoneybunit was installed already here23:37
clivejothen run update-apt-xapian-index23:37
clivejothe key is running that update23:38
FinetundraWell I'll be damned23:38
FinetundraIt worked!23:38
clivejoit just needs that index23:39
FinetundraSo what might have happened to cause it not to be there?23:39
clivejoa mix of old and new not playing well together23:39
FinetundraMakes sense23:40
clivejoit should detect your driver and install it for you23:41

clivejoprobably need a reboot23:43
