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

[04:50] or if there is a ppa i can download it from [05:00] We're working to get it ready, sigma1234 [05:00] but the Qt version we have available to use in Ubuntu is not new enough yet [05:01] that is being worked on but the timing is not up to us [05:03] ah ok i understand, its more of a qt delay than re-packaging kde. [05:04] 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 [07:20] any word yet on 5.8 plasma backport coming to yakkety? [07:21] or is there a way to install neon/user into kubuntu from a repo? === federico_ is now known as mrgreen === kubuntu is now known as Guest32475 === rthomsen6 is now known as rthomsen === federico_ is now known as mrgreen [11:11] hi [11:15] i need help to use konversation === olaf is now known as Guest94415 [12:18] apt-get command not found in my kubuntu help [12:19] is anybody listning === viewer|95858 is now known as kuldip [12:24] :B> <>65B ?><>GL [12:24] http://pastebin.com/maY62aCz === Fenster`` is now known as Fenster [13:11] Hi folks === elad is now known as Guest87560 [13:24] BluesKaj: hello [13:25] hi fa [13:25] hello BluesKaj [13:29] fa, do you have a kubuntu question?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [16:10] 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] , which is working fine, and Google, which is working very limited (I can have search results, but clicking on any of the results does not work). I had these issues also on installations of Kubuntu 16.04 and Kubuntu 16.10, and on two different computers (fairly old, but still working, one desktop computer with 4 GB of RAM, and a Toshiba satellite with only 1 GB RAM). For the moment I did fall back on the old Linux Mint 17.3 KDE, where e [16:10] verything is working smoothly. Thank you!
