| Fenster | hrmm, trying to install kubuntu and I am getting just a blank screen when trying to load the disk on boot | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| Fenster | I saw it go to a kubuntu login: prompt for a minute or two... I didnt put anything in, and it continued to boot to this black screen | 00:49 |
| Fenster | am I missing something> | 00:49 |
| Fenster | when in doubt.. wait longer | 01:07 |
| DonCullen | @teledyn -- thanks | 02:20 |
| DonCullen | @Fenster -- Trying to install via ISO, CD, USB, what medium? How are you getting to the installer? | 02:21 |
| DarinMiller | DonCullen: Just sec, finding the link... | 02:22 |
| DarinMiller | DonCullen: Assuming you are using windows? | 02:23 |
| teledyn | DonCullen: the way it is with Plasma is better than just one desktop folder. you can have multiple folder containers that you can move around and have different properties for. | 02:23 |
| DonCullen | @DarinMiller -- I wasn't asking a question, I was answering @Fenster | 02:23 |
| DarinMiller | DonCullen: sry, just logged in and saw your last 2 response (which I mistook as questions..) | 02:24 |
| DonCullen | @Teledyn -- yep, but not a fan of using a widget to pop files in. | 02:24 |
| teledyn | DonCullen: including of course the default desktop one which is at url desktop: | 02:24 |
| DonCullen | @DarinMiller -- no worries. Slack has the nice thing of showing previous conversation, as opposed to IRC. | 02:25 |
| DonCullen | Too bad it's such a memory/CPU hog. | 02:25 |
| teledyn | DonCullen: right-click and open in Dolphon. its a regular folder. | 02:25 |
| DonCullen | Eh, I wanted a place where I could drop it temporarily and pick it up later | 02:26 |
| DonCullen | But you just gave me an idea. | 02:26 |
| DonCullen | I wonder if I can place the widget on desktop, maximize the size, and make it transparent. That'd achieve my purpose. | 02:26 |
| Fenster | DonCullen, ... I just had to wait onger | 02:26 |
| Fenster | it finally booted | 02:26 |
| Fenster | now to try and figure out how to get the wifi working | 02:26 |
| DonCullen | @Fenster -- excellent | 02:26 |
| DonCullen | Should be plug and play, wasn't? | 02:27 |
| Fenster | naw | 02:27 |
| Fenster | old hp dv5 laptop | 02:27 |
| DonCullen | Old system? | 02:27 |
| DonCullen | Ahh.. | 02:27 |
| DonCullen | What kind of wifi hardware does it have? | 02:27 |
| DonCullen | Integrated, or...? | 02:27 |
| Fenster | ya pretty sure | 02:28 |
| Fenster | from what I read it is broadcom? | 02:28 |
| DonCullen | @Fenster | 02:28 |
| DonCullen | Do you have internet connection on it? A temporary one? | 02:28 |
| Fenster | ya.. im hardwired now | 02:29 |
| DonCullen | Excellent | 02:29 |
| DonCullen | sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:29 |
| DonCullen | sudo apt-get update | 02:29 |
| DonCullen | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 02:29 |
| DonCullen | That'll do it. | 02:29 |

| sigma1234 | hi all, any idea when plasma 5.8 will be available for kubuntu 16.10? | 04:49 |
| sigma1234 | or if there is a ppa i can download it from | 04:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Valoriez> We're working to get it ready, sigma1234 | 05:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Valoriez> but the Qt version we have available to use in Ubuntu is not new enough yet | 05:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Valoriez> that is being worked on but the timing is not up to us | 05:01 |
| sigma1234 | ah ok i understand, its more of a qt delay than re-packaging kde. | 05:03 |
| sigma1234 | one last question - how does kde neon differ from kubuntu - i understand its based on the kubuntu core but because of its nature will have plasma 5.8. is there any distinct disadvantage of using it over stock standard kubuntu | 05:04 |
| teledyn | any word yet on 5.8 plasma backport coming to yakkety? | 07:20 |
| teledyn | or is there a way to install neon/user into kubuntu from a repo? | 07:21 |

| Fenster | I am installing kubuntu for my father in law and he uses this laptop for 2 things.. photos and emai | 13:40 |
| Fenster | with google picasa, it uaomtically scans the drive for photos as well as monitors a specific folder | 13:41 |
| Fenster | kubuntu has qwenview but just looking through the menus I dont see any capability like that | 13:42 |
| Fenster | is there a solution like picasa for kubuntu that will auto add photos and allow browsing and emailing? | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, check this out http://lifehacker.com/5877908/the-best-photo-management-app-for-linux | 13:56 |
| Fenster | ya I saw that too | 13:58 |
| Irany | How do i 'cd' folders with name like: 'Name Secondname' | I have two Folders 'Programas' and 'Programas Linux', but i can only access 'Programas' via 'cd'. | 13:58 |
| Fenster | none specifically say they do what I want... there is something called kphotoviewer but it isnt even a choice to instlal from the software manager | 13:59 |
| Fenster | so I guess I have to compile source code? | 13:59 |
| Fenster | https://www.kphotoalbum.org/download/source/ | 13:59 |
| Fenster | kphotoalbum | 13:59 |
| Fenster | even though it is listed on kde.org | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, digiKam seems fit the needs you described | 14:00 |
| Fenster | this is for a 70year old man... im verous about something that is so advanced | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, heh, I'm 73 :-) | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | don't sell him short | 14:01 |

| BluesKaj | one cnan lear | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | n | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | at any age | 14:02 |
| Fenster | so why does digikam not show up in the kde "app store" | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | I make more mistakes than i used to , but I manage | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, look in the package manager | 14:03 |
| Fenster | BluesKaj, Im a noob... could you point me to it? | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | app store, are you on a mobile ? | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | kmenu>system>muon-discover | 14:05 |
| Fenster | no.....trying to wrap my head around this so I can teach him... Kbuntu shows it as "Discover" | 14:05 |
| Fenster | ya Im there.... and I cant find digikam | 14:05 |
| Irany | Wine be like : "Please work please work" | 14:06 |
| Fenster | I guess I gotta apt-get everything? | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, forget about "discover" , oprn a terminal and do, sudo apt install muon , it's the original and finds more apps then the newer version | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | than | 14:08 |
| Fenster | still installing from apt=get | 14:11 |
| Fenster | although I just got a unknown media type in type 'all/all' | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, don't worry about that | 14:11 |
| Fenster | it is hanging | 14:12 |
| SporkWitch | That's a common one, as are the perl locale warnings | 14:12 |
| SporkWitch | Hanging, on the other hand, is not... | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | it'll be fine..which kubuntu are you running? | 14:12 |
| Fenster | newest... 16ish | 14:12 |
| Fenster | I was copying a lot of files from an external backup drive to this laptop.... I may have just screwed myself | 14:13 |
| SporkWitch | 16.04 or 16.10? | 14:13 |
| Fenster | it looiks like the copy stopped | 14:13 |
| Fenster | hard drive light is solid :\ | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | Fenster, is it back to the prompt in the terminal? | 14:13 |
| Fenster | 16.10 | 14:13 |
| Fenster | no | 14:14 |
| Fenster | have no control over itmes in the task bar to pull terminal back up | 14:14 |
| Fenster | looks like KDE is locked up | 14:14 |
| Fenster | mouse moves | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | have you updated abd upgraded your system since the install ? | 14:15 |
| Fenster | ya I think so | 14:15 |
| Fenster | apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | yes with sudo | 14:16 |
| Fenster | yes | 14:16 |
| Fenster | I think I have to pull the plug here :\ | 14:16 |
| Fenster | it is unresponsive | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | can you open ksysguard in the kmenu>system, look for konsole and kill or terminate | 14:17 |
| Fenster | I cant get into kmenu | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | close the terminal ? | 14:18 |
| Fenster | ok logging in and logging out got me back control | 14:19 |
| Fenster | but HDD light is still pegged | 14:19 |

| Irany | There is a command to uninstall a package and its dependencies? | 14:20 |

| Irany | Thx | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | Irany, or sudo apt purge packagneme | 14:21 |
| Irany | I'll create an alias for that | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | name even | 14:21 |
| Fenster | ok | 14:22 |
| Fenster | installing muon | 14:22 |
| Irany | Blueskaj, i can't 'cd' my folder 'Name name'(there is another folder with the same first name in the same directory). | 14:23 |
| cestiera | slt | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | Irany, then rename one of them | 14:25 |
| Irany | -.- | 14:25 |
| Fenster | ok | 14:26 |
| Fenster | muon is complete | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | ok Fenster open muon in kmenu>system and type digikam in the search box | 14:27 |
| Fenster | so if muon is so good, why arent they using it by default? | 14:28 |
| Irany | Nautilus is Ubuntu's default but Nemo >> all V: | 14:29 |
| Irany | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | well, for some reason the devs think new users will find the muon discover app easier to use , which to me makes no sense | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | and it's eye candy gui is more appealing | 14:32 |
| Fenster | ya but if it doesnt have all the apps it makes no sense | 14:32 |
| Fenster | hmmm | 14:34 |
| Fenster | cant find teamviewer on here :\ | 14:34 |

| addtru | Please provide some recommendations on the following situation: I did install Linux Mint 18 KDE. While configuring a DSL connection, it was connecting and disconnecting continuously. “sudo apt-get update” resulted in ”waiting for headers” for a very long time for each repository. “sudo ping www.google.ro –c 3” resulted in “0% loss”. Another weird thing is that on Firefox, no Internet address is working, except Facebook | 16:10 |
