| jubo2 | g'morning folks | 07:40 |
| jubo2 | I got a question | 07:41 |
| jubo2 | I am maybe installing a Kubuntu for mi grand-dad | 07:41 |
| jubo2 | should the printer be connected at installation time or doesn't that matter regarding the printer detection and installation? | 07:41 |
| jubo2 | This machine has a 150GB disk with Windows Vista using about 60GB atm | 07:42 |
| jubo2 | so I was thinking of putting like 60GB for Kubuntu.. sound ok? | 07:42 |
| jubo2 | he doesn't do much fotos or any videos | 07:42 |
| Fritigern | valorie: Could you give EasyMP3gain a whirl, attempt to apply gain to an MP3 file, open "Options > Show Console Output" and see if you too see loads of "AddressSanitizer CHECK failed" errors? If you do, then perhaps this is not just my PC being weird | 07:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Deno Jacob> How to update kubuntu 16.04 to 16.10? | 07:55 |
| Fritigern | Deno, open a terminal and enter kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade | 07:56 |
| Fritigern | Keep in mind that it's still beta software, expect breakage! | 07:57 |
| Fritigern | valorie: Don;t worry about installing easymp3gain, if you just have mp3gain for CLI then just starting it (even without specifying a file) it should generate this error. | 08:02 |
| jubo2 | Hiya | 08:37 |
| Smurphy | morning. | 08:38 |
| jubo2 | What is best way to check for printer compatibility with GNU/Linux (Kubuntu16.04) (without installing) ? | 08:38 |
| jubo2 | right now running antivirus to this Vista | 08:38 |
| jubo2 | but as all 5+ yrs old MSFT products this is so slow it is barely usable | 08:38 |
| jubo2 | There has gotta be some database somewhere | 08:40 |
| jubo2 | it is Samsung Xpress 2026 | 08:40 |
| Smurphy | jubo2: Make sure it's a postscript capable printer. E.g. it is not a printer that requires software on the OS to render the page. | 08:41 |
| jubo2 | Smurphy: knowing my grand-dad the printer is likely the cheapest they sold | 08:41 |
| jubo2 | so prlly the latter | 08:41 |
| jubo2 | I'll check with the Internet | 08:41 |
| Smurphy | jubo2: Yep. | 08:42 |
| Smurphy | Or take one that runs under OS-X. OS-X uses Cups, so most probably it should work with Linux too (as linux uses Cups too). | 08:43 |
| jubo2 | Oh shoot.. it is some GDI rubbish printer | 08:47 |
| jubo2 | and GDI is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Device_Interface (some MSFT rubbish) | 08:47 |
| jubo2 | is there no emulator or something so a Linux could print with a printer that only speaks GDI? | 08:48 |
| jubo2 | New printer don't cost much though | 08:48 |
| jubo2 | Grand-dad says yes to "Do I install GNU/Linux?" | 08:50 |
| jubo2 | Yeay. I go do it now | 08:50 |
| jubo2 | got my unlimited 4G WiFi basestation here so updates will be a breeze | 08:51 |
| jubo2 | See ya on the other side! | 08:51 |

| mobijubo | Hiya | 11:13 |
| mobijubo | I get error from installation ... something returns error when trying to set keymap to finnish | 11:14 |
| mobijubo | I recreate it now | 11:14 |
| === kubuntu_ is now known as jubo2 | ||
| jubo2 | Hi | 11:19 |
| jubo2 | Something is going wrong with the installer | 11:19 |
| jubo2 | I get error | 11:19 |
| jubo2 | ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 1. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken. | 11:19 |
| jubo2 | I better see what it says in /var/log/syslog | 11:20 |
| jubo2 | Should I just pastebin what it says | 11:21 |
| jubo2 | I see it is failing to set locale to local locale \ | 11:22 |
| jubo2 | or something thereabouts | 11:22 |
| jubo2 | The following seems to be the problem that invokes the logger and exits with code 1 | 11:24 |
| jubo2 | Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale | 11:24 |
| jubo2 | something somewhere is slightly wrong | 11:25 |
| jubo2 | how do I check what is the default locale | 11:25 |
| jubo2 | and how do I change it to Finnish | 11:26 |
| jubo2 | Mi grand-dad was born in the 20s | 11:26 |
| jubo2 | not very fluent in English | 11:26 |
| jubo2 | I change OS lang to Finnish and relogin] | 11:27 |
| jubo2 | a moment | 11:27 |
| mobijubo | Ok... now OS is in Finnish | 11:29 |
| mobijubo | I check locale | 11:29 |
| === kubuntu_ is now known as jubo2 | ||
| jubo2 | Now OS is in Finnish | 11:30 |
| jubo2 | but kbrd is Murican | 11:30 |
| jubo2 | LANG=en_US.UTF-8 | 11:31 |
| jubo2 | LANGUAGE=fi | 11:31 |
| jubo2 | and LC_ALL is empty | 11:31 |
| jubo2 | I retry the installation but it will fail again | 11:31 |
| jubo2 | unless someone explains to me how to make it work | 11:31 |
| jubo2 | Before beginning the installation attempt I see from /var/log/syslog that it will fail because https://paste.kde.org/p6ntun9jq | 11:35 |
| jubo2 | I need to mangle something manually for it to understand that language Finnish and kbrd Finnish is very valid and existing choice | 11:35 |
| jubo2 | there was some command to create the needed locales | 11:38 |
| jubo2 | I needed that on some Debian server | 11:38 |
| jubo2 | but I dunno what is going on.. I have installed many Kubuntu with this exact same stick without any problems | 11:38 |
| jubo2 | hmm.. | 11:39 |
| jubo2 | locale -a indicates there are only silly anglophone locales available | 11:39 |
| jubo2 | so I need to add the FIFI to there somehow | 11:40 |
| jubo2 | fi_FI.UTF-8 is shown in the /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED | 11:41 |
| jubo2 | localectl says connection timed out | 11:42 |
| jubo2 | and sorry for not using underscores, apostrophes etc. coz I have no idea where they are on a Murican kbrd | 11:43 |
| jubo2 | ahh | 11:43 |
| jubo2 | locale-gen is what I want | 11:43 |
| jubo2 | that worked... now retrying the installation | 11:45 |
| jubo2 | /var/log/syslog is still in tail -f | 11:45 |
| jubo2 | yeah | 11:48 |
| jubo2 | that solved it | 11:49 |
| jubo2 | now progresses beyond the point where it would fail | 11:49 |
| jubo2 | looking good | 11:49 |
| jubo2 | this sure runs a lot faster than the Vista that is the old os | 11:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest9540 | ||
| Guest9540 | Hi. | 12:10 |
| mobijubo | Oh yes. It works. Next I need to determine RAM-type and see where I can get some | 12:25 |
| mobijubo | Uhh.. 667 upgrades | 12:25 |
| mobijubo | That'll take a while on age-old celeron and 2GB | 12:25 |

| user|25449 | Kann ich Kubuntu neben Windows haben ? | 14:59 |
| mparillo | If you mean dual boot Kubuntu and MS-Windows, the answer is yes. It is easiest on legacy BIOS, hardest on Secure Boot. | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj_ | mparillo, I made the mistake of wiping the hdd clean and just using legacy mode wth a msdos table, now if i shut the laptop down completelythen sometimes it won't reboot or find grub, it stalls at the post page. | 15:47 |
| _thelion_ | hi there, i have a problem with emacs - i've asked the folks in #emacs, but they couldn't help me. As you can see in the screenshot: there's a big blue icon in the toolbar. Any idea ... why? https://imgur.com/eQzVbBQ | 16:03 |
| _thelion_ | i've tried the system settings / icons --> no effect. | 16:05 |
| _thelion_ | i've tried to start emacs like: emacs -Q | 16:06 |
| _thelion_ | or emacs -q --> no effect ... | 16:06 |
| _thelion_ | is it possible to remove the toolbar / Emacs? | 16:08 |
| mparillo | BluesKaj_: Ouch. I was trying to answer the German user. | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj_ | mparillo, yeah I saw that, but he didn't stick around | 16:15 |
| mparillo | Oh well. Can you always boot your laptop with a live USB? | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj_ | yes, and i have done | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj_ | mparillo, now I just suspend it , I don't shutdown | 16:18 |

| mparillo | Yes, that is to be expected, but the current focus is getting the latest packaging into the YY Archive. | 18:48 |
| valorie | getting the LTS Plasma into our LTS would be a good move | 18:58 |

| RodNICE | Hello | 22:12 |
| RodNICE | Looking for kubuntu/KDE assistance | 22:12 |
| RodNICE | Just got back to kubuntu... got rusty... how do I configure a little multirow panel with shortcuts? | 22:13 |
| RodNICE | Anyone know how to do multiline taskbars? | 22:18 |
| valorie | you can right-click on the panel | 22:19 |
| valorie | lots of options there | 22:19 |
| valorie | or try the "hamburger" menu on the right | 22:19 |
| valorie | RodNICE: ^^^ | 22:20 |
| RodNICE | Ohhh | 22:21 |
| RodNICE | sorry, I'm the only Kubuntu user within 5 miles | 22:21 |
| RodNICE | (I think) | 22:21 |
| RodNICE | "hamburger"... | 22:22 |
| valorie | ||| on its side | 22:22 |
| RodNICE | When I first installed Kubuntu like 4 years ago, I figured out how to do it and never had to do it again until my laptop died | 22:22 |
| valorie | well, we've got a major version upgrade to Plasma since then | 22:22 |
| valorie | so a few little details are different | 22:23 |
| RodNICE | how do I easily check the version | 22:23 |
| valorie | for the most part | 22:23 |
| valorie | plasmashell -v in the commandline | 22:23 |
| RodNICE | Hardware = Dell Inspiron :( | 22:23 |
| valorie | or in krunner, About... | 22:23 |
| valorie | which will give you about system | 22:24 |
| valorie | I had some Dells I loved | 22:24 |
| valorie | some I didn't | 22:24 |
| RodNICE | plasmashell -v... command not found | 22:24 |
| RodNICE | hmmm I guess I should have done "sudo" first maybe? | 22:24 |
| valorie | hmmm, what version of kubuntu are you running? | 22:25 |
| valorie | no, no sudo | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | I installed the X animal named one I think | 22:25 |
| RodNICE | not the newest one | 22:25 |
| valorie | xenial, the 16.04 | 22:26 |
| clivejo | dont use sudo with anything in KDE | 22:26 |
| RodNICE | Ohhhh | 22:26 |
| RodNICE | OK OK | 22:26 |
| RodNICE | thanks guys | 22:26 |
| RodNICE | no sudo | 22:26 |
| valorie | so either alt+space | 22:26 |
| RodNICE | plasmashell: command not found | 22:26 |
| valorie | or alt+f2 will give you krunner | 22:26 |
| valorie | your shortcut to everything | 22:27 |
| valorie | just type about up in krunner | 22:27 |
| RodNICE | ooooohhh | 22:27 |
| RodNICE | wow | 22:27 |
| RodNICE | that was easy | 22:27 |
| valorie | very useful | 22:28 |
| RodNICE | wow lol | 22:28 |
| RodNICE | I've never seen that before | 22:28 |
| valorie | starts anything, and does all kinds of stuff | 22:28 |
| valorie | krunner has been around since kde3 days at least | 22:28 |
| RodNICE | Does Kubuntu generally have printed books or is it mostly by memory and community that I need to learn? | 22:28 |
| valorie | but for some reason, nobody knows about it! | 22:28 |
| valorie | we have documentation at docs.kubuntu.org | 22:29 |
| RodNICE | I used to do krunner by accident and always closed it out fearing I broke sometehing | 22:29 |
| RodNICE | something* | 22:29 |
| valorie | lol | 22:29 |
| valorie | yes, if you don't know about it, it eats your typing | 22:29 |
| valorie | and leaves you confused | 22:29 |
| RodNICE | Kubuntu 14.04 is my version | 22:29 |
| valorie | ok, that's a bit older | 22:30 |
| RodNICE | I just installed it | 22:30 |
| valorie | that's fine | 22:30 |
| RodNICE | Didn't think this Insipiron 6000 could handle anything newer | 22:30 |
| valorie | newer is generally lighter IMO | 22:30 |
| valorie | but suit yourself | 22:30 |
| RodNICE | as in less baggage? | 22:30 |
| RodNICE | or less ability? | 22:31 |
| valorie | as in quicker and easier on your system | 22:42 |
| valorie | of course you can load up any system with multiple applications running at once, a million tabs on your browser, etc. | 22:42 |
| RodNICE | OK, I'll try the newer version | 22:48 |
| RodNICE | I'm just trying to cheap out on internet at home, but wifi takes forever | 22:48 |
| RodNICE | I'll have to download it to USB when I stop in to the library | 22:49 |
| RodNICE | I guess coming from a Windows mindset, I'm thinking newer is heavier | 22:49 |
| valorie | you can just upgrade, but that is slow as well | 22:52 |
| RodNICE | yes | 22:54 |
| RodNICE | especially on wifi | 22:54 |
| valorie | imo the best way is to download it via torrent | 22:54 |
| RodNICE | yeah | 22:54 |
| valorie | that's faster and more secure, since the parts are automatically checked | 22:55 |
| RodNICE | for some reason, the torrent didn't work when I tried for this one | 22:55 |
| valorie | you can do that on wife while you sleep | 22:55 |
| RodNICE | the direct download was faster | 22:55 |
| RodNICE | You're right. | 22:55 |
| valorie | probably not many people seeding the older one anymore | 22:55 |
| RodNICE | Too bad the wifi and my bed are in separate locations, lol | 22:55 |
| valorie | I seed all the ubuntu torrents | 22:56 |
| RodNICE | Ohhhh | 22:56 |
| RodNICE | you're right!! | 22:56 |
| RodNICE | Man, I feel so stupid right now. | 22:56 |
| valorie | http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 22:56 |
| RodNICE | I'll try the newer one | 22:56 |
| valorie | don't be | 22:56 |
| valorie | just start that and let it take it's own sweet time | 22:57 |
| valorie | when it's done, burn it to a DVD or usb and try it out | 22:57 |
| valorie | if you like it, fine | 22:57 |
| valorie | if not, you've got a working install | 22:57 |
| RodNICE | is it noticeably different? | 22:58 |
| valorie | I like the newer better, but there are those who prefer the old | 22:59 |
| valorie | you have your choice | 22:59 |
| * valorie is running the beta of the latest | 22:59 | |
| RodNICE | Wow, that link..!! | 22:59 |
| RodNICE | That's gold! | 23:00 |
| valorie | yep, that's how I seed all the torrents that are supported | 23:00 |
| valorie | I have a good connection, so why not? | 23:01 |
| RodNICE | Wow | 23:04 |
| RodNICE | You must be in Korea | 23:04 |

| RodNICE | hey valorie, I'm downloading the beta of the latest right now | 23:46 |
| valorie | woah, ok | 23:47 |
| valorie | be sure to test that before installing | 23:47 |
| valorie | LTS is recommended for most users | 23:47 |
| RodNICE | lol | 23:48 |
| RodNICE | Now you tell me? Well I figured as much, but what could go wrong? | 23:48 |
| SporkWitch | RodNICE: anything from minor glitches like an icon being broken to crippling failures that prevent normal use of the system. | 23:49 |
| RodNICE | *sigh* | 23:49 |
| SporkWitch | RodNICE: i know what i'm doing, i still run LTS only on systems i need to be working at any given time | 23:49 |
| RodNICE | OK | 23:49 |
| RodNICE | I'll go with the LTS | 23:50 |
| SporkWitch | RodNICE: odds are you'll be fine, it's not like it's arch or something | 23:50 |
| RodNICE | That's what I was thinking | 23:50 |
| valorie | I'm running the beta right now on my main computer | 23:50 |
| RodNICE | It's not a mission critical system | 23:50 |
| SporkWitch | RodNICE: the later version is better and worse; later versions / versions, but greater chance of bugs and instability | 23:50 |
| valorie | but I do have a backup laptop running the LTS for now | 23:50 |
| RodNICE | OK | 23:51 |
| SporkWitch | *versions / features | 23:51 |
| SporkWitch | *newer features | 23:51 |
| SporkWitch | valorie: out of curiosity, is gpg2.1.15 in 16.10? | 23:51 |
| RodNICE | *pauses beta download* | 23:51 |
| valorie | !info gpg yakkety | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Package gpg does not exist in yakkety | 23:52 |
| valorie | huh | 23:52 |

| SporkWitch | yay ECC support | 23:52 |
| SporkWitch | i have sid running on this chromebook, and .15 seems to be much more feature-complete; .11 seems to have some residual issues with smartcards (it says it's pulling the key when issuing a fetch from --card-edit, but doesn't actually import it, even though it downloads successfully; .15 on sid successfully pulls and imports) | 23:54 |
| SporkWitch | also looking forward to playing around with the gpg-agent forwarding in .15 (it's somewhat present in .11, but it's hit and miss) | 23:54 |
