[08:02] Are we supposed to install it or to use other program? === tarator85 is now known as tarator [09:41] In Kubuntu-devel: acheronuk has said that, in Kubuntu 16.10, "Okular was removed from the iso due to causing kde4 dependency problems when building that. go ahead and install it :)" [09:42] yep http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.yakkety/revision/1344 [09:46] Thank you, acheronuk, the user "dsealius" asked that previously in this channel [09:47] He wrote "why okular is not installed by default on 16.10 release ? [09:47] it launches libre office instead" [09:49] Hi [09:50] What are the hardware requirements for Kubuntu 16.10? [10:18] It can run on a netbook with 1GB, but if you do anything more than light web surfing and document editing, you will not be happy on it. === fml_ is now known as fml [10:50] mparillo: even document editing and web surfing is impossible [10:51] 2GB and bigger ammount for x64, as reality shows [10:51] Hello!

[15:55] I didnt, I was more just making comments. I dont know why you think I was talking to you [15:55] did I say steve-_-2? [15:55] buovjaga, the wiki is very straight forward ...we;re here to help those who don't understand the nomenclature [15:56] ^ [15:56] BluesKaj: it is not straightforward enough :) otherwise steve wouldn't be here suggesting improvements [15:56] before muon updater you had people in here who would never be able to update [15:56] lol [15:56] you need enumerated steps, like in a bug report [15:56] lol [15:56] lol lol lol not helpful. [15:56] buovjaga, well, that's what we're here for ...do you understand? [15:57] sure and that's appreciated [15:57] BluesKaj: yes [15:57] step 1, click the thing, step 2 click the upgrade button, step 3 wait [15:57] so let's rephrase: do you think the wiki steps on the left section are consistent and clear? [15:59] hi BluesKaj [16:02] well we don't edit the wiki here , steve-_-2 , you may want to expalin your displeasure with it in #kubuntu-devel [16:02] BluesKaj: thx buovjaga just did that [16:03] ok ..BBL ...editing my music files for the next 30mins or so [16:04] BluesKaj: have fun === ImpeccableEyes is now known as UrsaTempest [16:11] just having a look at the wiki now [16:19] so updated but no the vm no longer boots [16:20] ah restarting a few times seems to have helped [16:22] so has muon be removed from kubuntu 16.10? [16:22] can't find it anymore [16:24] so system updates etc now incoming via discover? [16:26] muon is there if you wish to install it [16:27] acheronuk: well it was there but has been uninstalled it seems [16:27] also why have 2 update managers? [16:27] so the default is discover? [16:28] KDE wants to have discover, as it it evolving into a software centre that will be more than just a package manager. [16:28] sounds fine [16:28] also that means I don't have to be annoyed by the wrong time info for the last update check in muon... [16:28] Muon has been revived as an option for those who may just want a plain package manager [16:29] Both are somewhat a work in progress from KDE. [16:30] steve-_-2: stick a quick band-aid on the wiki. ;) [16:30] acheronuk: hm, they should focus efforts and get one to working state. muon has had that time check bug for years [16:30] *stuck even [16:31] Muon is very much a side project. pretty much one person fixing it up [16:32] KDE in Kubuntu 16.10 periodical crash. ((( [16:33] Open Configure Software Sources from the settings menu, and set the release upgrade option to Normal Releases. [16:33] I don#t understand that. when I open discover, settings > software source I see http://imgur.com/a/dHnxS [16:33] that doesn't match that description at all [16:34] acheronuk: [16:36] steve-_-2: http://i.imgur.com/WRHr3fa.png [16:38] acheronuk: this stuff is complex. I don't have the advanced option [16:38] http://imgur.com/a/5TeKM [16:38] gets you: http://i.imgur.com/iYbsLMu.png [16:39] steve-_-2: are you now on 16.10? if so, the the version of discover on that is different [16:40] acheronuk: y [16:40] hm, so why hide important options? [16:40] I'm looking at standard 16.04.1 in a VM [16:40] 16.10 here in vm (: [16:41] well, maybe things will stabilise [16:41] I know what you mean. plasma-discover is changing rapidly between releases [16:42] ok, so let#S ignore that. let me take another look at the wiki [16:42] upstream dev version is completely changed again [16:42] personally I have never used the non terminal version [16:42] much easier in terminal [16:43] ^^^^ ditto [16:45] acheronuk: terminal is great but not for non terminal users. [16:45] acheronuk: so why not add "in software sources open the 'Updates' tab and there in the 'Release upgrade' section select 'Normal Releases' [16:46] that would be an instruction that should prevent users from searching like crazy === zippy is now known as Guest59916 [16:46] atm it's totally unclear as to where to find that setting that needs to be adjusted [16:49] because muon is bloated [16:49] in terminal its much simpler [16:49] Windows does a disservice to users hand holding everyone and getting them used to installing 400 lbs of crap just tp update one program [16:50] "But I need a GUI" [16:50] "Terminal is so scery" [16:50] Linux is not for strictly gui users [16:51] Never was designed to be, if you cant get used to usig a terminal install Mac or stick to windows [16:51] hippybear: I truly believe this is incorrect. linux wants to be on the desktop [16:51] Desktop is there for people who cant install x [16:51] you really dont need it [16:52] ? well whatever. I give up for today. acheronuk if you want to further adjust the wiki, that would be welcome. [16:52] some peoples kids [16:55] that debate goes on ad nauseum. === Kuro is now known as jweojcoie [16:59] No doubt [16:59] I remember linux 15 years ago [16:59] ask for a GUI for a and get laughed out of the channel [16:59] "Go back to windows nub" [17:00] Except this isn't 15 years ago, and people can generally ignore the terminal. [17:02] I dont recall saying it was [17:02] but astute observation [17:03] How do you edit iptable rules without a terminal? [17:03] how do you generate ssh keys? [17:04] how do you connect to a server via ssh with a gui? [17:04] sftp? [17:04] top? [17:06] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_edit_iptables_rules#GUI [17:07] rhel != Kubuntu [17:11] Kubuntu users will miss out, then :) [17:12] lol [17:12] "Im a linux system admin for the past 10 years. I can't use anything non terminal" [17:13] wordfail++ [17:15] luckily we can use http://bedrocklinux.org/ to get the best of both Fedora and Kubuntu [17:17] that just seems like a bad day waiting to happen [17:17] maybe not [17:17] unmet dependencies out the wazoo [17:19] Hello [17:19] hallo [17:20] I'm using xubuntu on my laptop and I wanted to try kubuntu. I'm wondering if it's possible to install kubuntu on a external-usb-drive and dual boot (In order to not ruin the xubuntu installation). Can anyone advise me on what's my best options? [17:21] why not make bootable usb and try live session ? [17:23] Because I it's hard to fully work with a live session. I can't install my fav apps and keep them on the live-usb. [17:23] you can also install the kubuntu desktop env and log out and try kubuntu [17:24] You should be able to add "persistence" to your USB and then install aps, change configs and have them the next time you boot using the USB. [17:26] hippybear, on many sites it's recommended not to mix kde with other DEs, and not to experiment on a production machine. This is why I'm not choosing the option to install kde inside xubuntu. [17:28] I can understand [17:28] it really isnt that bad if you know how to set it back [17:29] mparillo, Can I also add persistence when "burning" the usb with rufus? [17:29] hippybear, knowing how to set it back is using purge? Does it completely wipe all the changes kde has made? [17:30] it removes a lot of things you actually need [17:30] hippybear, So you mean that's not the right way of doing it? [17:30] so you have to let it clear all that and then reinstall some really important system files with apt-get update && upgrade [17:31] it takes some know how but its doable === ms10 is now known as manshi10 [17:33] sorry. Got d/c [17:33] Maybe I'll try it first with the live usb. Is there a recommended way for burning a live-usb from inside windows that enables persistence? [17:34] unetbootin works? [17:44] hippybear, Yeah, it works. I just wanted to know if you recommend something. I used to use rufus because it has support for old bios which one of my machines required. [17:45] I never used anything other than unetbootin === miguel is now known as Guest21313 [18:06] Hi All, just upgraded to 16.10 and my wireless card aint working since then [18:07] same for audio, i need to unplug and plug back my USB headset to get it to work...pls help [18:17] which wireless card do you have? [18:17] I downloaded the kubunyu file, now what? My laptop doesn't read the file? [18:17] Yeah its a much more involved process than just clicking a file [18:17] Do you have a USB? are you burning a disk? [18:18] Will this be in a VM or installed over your OS [18:18] over OS [18:19] so you will need to either burn that iso to a disk and set that disk to be bootable or burn it to USB and make the USB bootable if your OS supports USB booting [18:19] you will also need a working internet through the whole process [18:19] OK sounds good, anything else? [18:20] let me see if I can find a decent write up on how to do it so you dont get totally lost :) [18:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [18:22] should have you set up in a couple hours :) [18:22] any issues just come back in [18:22] Thank you !

[19:10] sponge1: yes [19:10] you 'can' [19:10] it looks a litte weird sometimes [19:10] Does this require kubuntu to d/l lots of libraries and possibly break the system? === fml is now known as fml_dog [19:11] it wont break it [19:11] you will often need to download a ton of stuff for deps [19:11] it still looks weird at times and often lacks small features [19:11] sometimes you wont even notice lol [19:13] Aaditya: different versions are for different 'needs' [19:14] some are more geared to education and have default apps installed that work like that, if that makes sense === fml_dog is now known as fml_cat === fml_cat is now known as fml === fml is now known as fml_sheeple [19:18] cool. thanks hippybear [19:19] no prob [19:19] Oh, one more thing [19:20] ? [19:21] I've heard that plasma 5.8 is going to be LTS. Is there a way/will there be a way to upgrade plasma 5.7 on kubuntu 16.04 to plasma 5.8? and stay on two LTS - one is kubuntu 16.04 and one is plasma 5.8? [19:22] mmm sorta [19:22] its often awkward but you can backwards compile [19:22] you have to know how to specify versions in apt for example, but it can be done [19:23] its better to either switch to beta and just let it run buggy as it is, or build backwards and accept the issues [19:23] lol === fml_sheeple is now known as notanemo_fml [19:24] Sorry.

[19:33] hippybear: already the newest version [19:34] k === wxl_ is now known as wxl [19:34] mparillo, in that link, they're saying: Once you boot the OS, you should have everything you need to create some space for persistent data, so there's no real need for Rufus to do that. | How should that be made? [19:34] sponge: maybe? [19:34] leumas: alsamixer [19:35] hippybear: unable to locate package [19:35] leumas: F6 to select your sound card [19:35] apt-get install alsamixer [19:36] Can you please recommend a good tutorial for kubuntu? or is this sufficient for a newbie http://docs.kubuntu.org/ ?

[20:07] man installing fonts isnt working so well today [20:07] might be buggy [20:08] hippybear: Why can't I find vlc in Discover? Should I change something in my settings? [20:09] Also I can't find the restricted codec package [20:09] I dont use discover [20:09] try it in terminal does it tell you nothing found? [20:09] terminal works. I managed to install synaptic via terminal [20:09] das whats up [20:10] I always use the terminal [20:10] it just seems right lol [20:10] Is discover broken or somethign? [20:11] It works, you probably just need to enable something or change a setting [20:12] ok [20:12] you have to add a ppa [20:12] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily [20:12] doesn't kubuntu use the same ppas as ubuntu/xubuntu?

[20:16] it is [20:17] no need for an extra ppa for vlc unless you want the git stable/unstable builds [20:17] acheronuk: even if I'm on a live usb? [20:18] yeah [20:19] vlc and all plugins / libs are in xenial main http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/allpackages [20:22] live cd/usb has 'main restricted universe' in it's sources.list. so most things like vlc etc should be available [20:22] sponge1: the live usb can install software [20:25]
