[00:00] <slicktux> I apologize I am just noticing a lot of things, like the afromentioned, and it is propagating curiosity. . .
[00:01] <slicktux> XD
[00:01] <genii> Curiosity is good.
[00:02] <slicktux> agreed.
[00:03] <genii> slicktux: The other issue with su - is that for this to work requires giving root a password. So it introduces a way for someone to try and bruteforce a known admin accountname, instead of randomusername
[00:05] <slicktux> genii: Sensical, I'm going to have to read about sudo then; I want to know how the internals work before I install it again.
[00:05]  * slicktux likes to know what is going on the background.
[00:05]  * slicktux "dig deep; stay deep" --slicktux
[00:09] <genii> slicktux: There's generally someone around in the channel to answer questions, I'm usually here weekdays from work, I'm leaving shortly for today.
[00:10] <slicktux> genii: Well, thank you genii you've been helpful!
[00:10] <genii> Glad to assist
[00:11] <slicktux> cheers!
[04:07] <AciD`> hi
[04:08] <AciD`> since a few days, when I lock my screen, go away then come back, the screen do not get a signal back and stays black
[04:09] <AciD`> how can I fix that?
[04:10] <AciD`> tl;dr : how to tell kde that it should wake the f* up?
[04:16] <cbip> hi, geek
[04:21] <cbip> I installed kubuntu 16.04. in the BIOS I set the UTC time, in KDE I have installed my correct time zone (+7 UTC). in the console, the date command shows me the correct time. and the clock widget on the panel in KDE displays the time in 14 hours less than I have now.
[04:22] <cbip> how do I fix this?
[04:26] <AciD`> cbip > you can force the timezone in the settings of such widgets
[04:28] <cbip> I put up my right zone (Asia / Tomsk)
[06:30] <vboxler> test

[06:56] <AciD`> tl;dr : how to tell kde that it should wake the f* up? :|
 @slicktux -- the included applications.
 we do KDE applications for the most part
[08:08] <john_s> when I installed Cinnamon it changed the baviour of "startx". After purging all of Cinnamon's files, startx now defaults to nothing. How do I set it backto kde system wide?
[08:09] <hateball> dont use startx
[08:09] <john_s> I didn't ask that.
 @john_s how about sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop
 you might have to also install sddm and configure it; I don't remember
[08:14] <john_s> a bot really can't answer a question you know...
[08:15] <john_s> I don't know what package from KDE generates the x config.
[08:18] <john_s> why does it show random shit ....
 that sounds like a very bad install
[08:20] <john_s> I don't even know how to remove KDE and reinstall it because the meta package won't uninstall the components I think.
 btw I'm not a bot; merely using interfacing with IRC via Telegram from Qtcon/Akademy
 there is no "KDE" -- just the components
[08:21] <john_s> Oh...
[08:21] <john_s> sorry
 and it's true that even purging a meta-package will not get rid of all the components
[08:21] <john_s> I thought so in the beginning but I started doubting ;-).
 you might try sudo apt install -f where -f equals "fix"
[08:22] <john_s> if there is that kernel panic it cannot find the root fs
 re-install sounds best then
[08:22] <john_s> and
[08:22] <john_s> it may indicate trying to use the efi signed image on a non-efi system.
 imo I would verify the ISO first using md5
[08:22] <john_s> make sure you are not booting efi
 the bot won't work from here but you can get more info by typing !md5 here in the channel
[08:23] <john_s> In any case I don't know which KDE component (or Plasma) generates its x config.
[08:24] <john_s> sddm works fine otherwise I wouldn't be here :).
[08:24] <Unit193> !md5
[08:27] <john_s> @abel tanak I'm just saying you may need to fix or check your grub config from the grub menu to see if you can make it work.
[08:40] <cbip> installed kubuntu 16.04. in the BIOS I set the UTC time, in KDE I have installed my correct time zone (+7 UTC). in the console, the date command shows me the correct time. and the clock widget on the panel in KDE displays the time in 14 hours less than I have now.
[08:40] <cbip> how do I fix this? I put up my right zone (Asia / Tomsk)
[08:42] <Smurphy> You sure youre at +7 UTC ? What about -7 UTC ?
[08:51] <john_s> I reconfigured every package that had kde in the name that was relevant, and every package that had plasma in the name that could ever be relevant. I reconfigured sddm.
[08:51] <john_s> still nothing
[08:51] <john_s> i can use "startx /usr/bin/startkde" but then it won't load my user config.
[09:59] <atdprhs> Hi All
[10:00] <atdprhs> I'm having a trouble with setting up a /media/someshare to my router's shared usb drive
[10:00] <atdprhs> but it's working with me, anyone have good knowledge in folder sharings and mounting here?
[10:01] <atdprhs> (it's not working with me*)
[10:04] <atdprhs> I have visited almost 50 links because of this issue, but nothing seems to be working
[10:04] <atdprhs> I keep getting either: mount error: could not resolve address for readyshare: Unknown error or mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'
[10:11] <Frans> Hi, I'm trying to install Kubuntu 16.04.01 under virtual box and somehow I cannot get beyond the "Preparing to install Kubuntu" screen. Irrespective of whether I tick the checkboxes. The continue button does not seem to be active at least has no effect. The back button works and brings me to the language selection. Anyone an idea on this? (network
[10:11] <Frans> connectivity is ok)
[10:14] <atdprhs>  I have netgear D7800, and I have attached my USB external HDD to it, and it's available for access via Windows: \\readyshare\myhdd, ubuntu:smb://readyshare/myhdd, now I have installed cifs-utils, and modified my fstab: //readyshare/myhdd /media/WorkDrive cifs workgroup=workgroup,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 I have obtained my uid and gid via id myusername, what I'm getting is either "mount error: could
[10:14] <atdprhs> not resolve address for readyshare: Unknown error" or "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'" if I used "smb" in the url, I have followed so many different articles and blogs, answers, including this >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[10:14] <Frans> (actually I did the an install earlier today without problem; <scratches head>)
[10:15] <atdprhs> @frans, I also did install it without issues
[10:15] <Frans> yeah no idea why it did not work the 2nd time
[10:15] <atdprhs> Check the machine settings?
[10:15] <atdprhs> What error do you get?
[10:16] <Frans> no error, the continue button is not active at all, It does not proceed; back remains working
[10:16] <atdprhs> Check "Right Click on Machine" >> "Show Logs"
[10:17] <Frans> @atdprs wrt your problem: can you ping readyshare? That is a probably a samba name (or samba to ip name resolution is not working); it has been quite a while since I was there
[10:18] <Frans> log gives no problem althoug some message on guest size-hint
[10:21] <atdprhs> When I installed Android in VirtualBox the first time, the mouse wasn't working, or (clicking I would say)
[10:22] <atdprhs> restarting and retrying worked, not sure what was the reason
[10:24] <atdprhs> @frans, have you tried alternative dvd?
[10:25] <atdprhs> or iso?
[10:27] <Frans> atdprhs: I used iso, same iso as earlier today when it worked;
[10:27] <Frans> it is about lunchtime here, will try a reboot of the VM after that to retry (unless someone comes up with a suggestion before)
[10:27] <Frans> thanks for your suggestions!
[10:33] <atdprhs> [20:30] <atdprhs> How much memory assigned to the machine?
[10:38] <atdprhs> @Frans, can you send me the log for the machine, use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:45] <atdprhs> Have any one managed to configure Skype for Business on Kubuntu?
[10:46] <atdprhs> Yahoo is desupporting KDE Telepathy and the protocol that it used to use will be blocked :( , no gmail, no skype (but I"m using normal Skype :D)
[11:11] <Frans> coming back on my earlier question; I went away for lunch and after that the button worked; guess it was downloading the updates in the background
[11:13] <Frans> been too optimistic, I got to the partition menu, went back to the preparing menu and have the same issue again :-(
[11:22] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:40] <hazamonzo> Howdy BluesKaj
[11:41] <BluesKaj> hey hazamonzo
[11:42] <Frans> for those following my problem, I found what it is, virtualbox will by default give ubuntu 8GB storage which is probably not enough. WHen I changed to 100 and tried again all worked!
[11:45] <BluesKaj> Frans, yes especially if you install more packages than default
[13:12] <nlsthzn> peeps, how do I change the steam system tray icon?! it used to work to change the file found in /usr/share/pixmaps/ to the one you want but it isn't working anymore?!
[13:23] <acheronuk> nlsthzn: It still does, but you may have to clear plasma related cache items in ~/.cache/ and/or /var/tmp/kde-yourusername/ and restart plasma for it to take *immediate* effect
[13:25] <nlsthzn> acheronuk: me checks it out, thanks.
[13:26] <nlsthzn> worked, thansk
[13:26] <nlsthzn> *thanks
[13:26] <acheronuk> nlsthzn: yep, just tried here as well http://i.imgur.com/3uI4jr1.png
[13:26] <acheronuk> Good :D
[13:26] <nlsthzn> thanks acheronuk
[13:27] <nlsthzn> no to find a better icon >.<
[13:27] <nlsthzn> this one doesn't fit the theme
[13:28] <acheronuk> lol. yes. as a note, resnet plasma 5 seems to hold on to it's cached icons and svg elements with a firmer grip than previous version did, so you may well get the same trying to edit other things
[13:28] <acheronuk> *recent plasma
[13:29] <nlsthzn> will keep it in mind
[14:51] <GeekK> hi, iḿ using the classic menu in kubuntu, but the recent document and recent applications are greyed out. Anything to be done about this?
[16:04] <Smurphy> Ok. Had various crashes while copying files through kdeconnect from my desktop to my pixel c. ... Upgrade kdeconnect to 1.0, and the crashes went away.
[16:04] <Smurphy> Nice.
 Where did you get kdeconnect 1.0?
 Smurphy
[16:53] <Smurphy> here http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/08/install-kde-connect-1-0-ubuntu-16-04/
 Grrrr
 Back port landing should not be added to stable system
[19:04] <Smurphy> Yes. Just for the installation I did it though. And it worked fine.
[19:05] <Smurphy> When I use version 0.9 from 16.04 and listen to Music over NFS (Flac files), the network stack crashes. So I didn't really have a choice.
[19:05] <Metamorphosis> hello. noob here. i installed ubuntu. how can i change that to kubuntu
[19:06] <Metamorphosis> what package to install and how to make it default?
 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' would do most of it
[19:09] <Smurphy> You don't have to make it default. Once you logged in, and choosed Plasma/KDE - next time it will be the default.
[19:09] <Smurphy> Of course, it will have to be installed first -> as IrcsomeBot stated.
 .....as Rik Mills stated
 ircsomebot is just a bot
 Yes Rik not the not lol
 *bot
 missing you Aaron
 I was just going to say lol
 Its midnight now there?
 Must be
