nicholas_evening... Any ideas why 16.1 is booting periodically into command???  startx is not working (black screen but appears to be working in the background) - what is the command for either loading or switching to GUI???11:44
sonneMy PC has a very very very terribly unsupported GPU, so the installer hangs very reliably. It seems there is no such thing as alternate ISO downloads anymore, and I can't find a boot option to turn off X11. Any suggestions?11:45
hateball!minimal | sonne11:49
ubottusonne: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD11:49
sonneah, cheers :)11:52
nicholas_any ideas how to start kubuntu 16.1 from the command boot screen?  startx does not work?11:58
pi__hello12:04

hateballnicholas_: Do not use startx with *ubuntu12:18
nicholas_ok thanks... sddm?12:18
hateballnicholas_: sudo service sddm start12:18
nicholas_ok cheers...  it has to be sudo??  any ideas why it might be periodically booting to command... the grub entries look normal12:19

TBotNikAll: Having huge performance problems. Don't understand anything about RAM vs SWAP or performance tuning, but looking in system monitor have 23 PostGres session and should only be 7.  How do I fix that? Trouble started with last Google/Mozilla consequitive upgrads.  Can't see anything under "ps -A" but appears to be some hidden java/javascripts.  Keep getting javascript timeout errors.16:22
daum_hey guys -  i have a t460 which has an integrated intel skylake graphics card, when i have dual monitors (one displayport+hdmi) hooked up, i get tons of flickering.  I read some people suggested upgrade my kernel to 4.7, but wanted to see what you guys suggest17:38

me5well got a new notebook as my other one's mobo some how got fried , came with win10 and i'm goin nutz , curious if anybody can help me determine if kubuntu can be used with this hardware?20:00
DonCullenHave you tried installing to see what happens?20:02
me5http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-3558-laptop/fncwc105sb?ref=195_title20:02
me5not yet20:03
me5only had it 12 days20:03
me5slowly was getting used to it tresting different hardware make sure i didn't need an exchange20:03
me5but last night with its update was so fked , i can't stand it20:03
ahoneybunjust try a live dvd/flash drive on it20:03
ahoneybunsee what works20:03
DonCullen@me5 see http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-3551-laptop-ubuntu20:03
DonCullenDell actually sells a similar laptop with Ubuntu on it20:04
DonCullenShould be fine.20:04
me5well kinda like kubuntu ,  :)20:04
me5will drivers work with it20:05
ahoneybunyou can load it with Kubuntu20:05
ahoneybuntry a live image to see what works20:05
DonCullenIt should.  Ubuntu runs Gnome, Kubuntu runs KDE, but they're both based off the same stuff.20:05
me5ok does latest kubuntu support this odd secure UEFI boot20:05
me5saw it in bios20:06
DonCullen@me5 -- like ahoneybun said, just run a live CD and see what works, if it works, you're good to start installing.20:06
me5ok thx , hopefully this may be my salvation lol20:06
ahoneybunyou can install any driver in the live dvd/flash drive20:06
ahoneybunsince 14.04 or so EFI has been supported20:07
ahoneybunthose old macs are useless though20:07
me5ohh sry to seem like a noob but anybody got a link to make a bootable kubuntu usb drive from within kubuntu using the iso20:07
me5i used to do it with a win 7 program till that mobo died20:07
ahoneybunas that needs a special efi setup to even start the live20:07
ahoneybunI've been using dd20:07
ahoneybunbut that needs the command line20:07
me5any newb program out there lol20:08
ahoneybununetbootin works for me20:08
ahoneybunbut some people complain about it20:08
ahoneybunI've never had an issue with it20:08
me5thx , i'll look for it20:09
me5god i can't believe how messed up win 10 is20:09
me5but i like the hardware on the cheap notebook so far20:10
me5plus being pretty barebones hopefully configuring stuff won't be a big issue20:10
jonfenSometimes I have to restart my laptop to get wifi to work.  Is there a CLI command I can use to reset the connection without a full reboot?20:36

viewer|77144how to install admin on VBOX-kubuntu, to run terminal as admin???21:46
genii!root21:47
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo21:47
viewer|77144the kubuntu-guest requires root to run terminal?21:48
viewer|77144once needed (older version) synaptic to add vbox user to admin ...21:49

viewer|40459how to21:58
DonCullenopen terminal, type sudo and the command you want to run as root (aka admin), and it'll do it.22:11
me5hello spooky channel22:40
AziroshinOne thing that's been bogging my mind for a while: On my main user, kate seems to have some antiquited file choosing dialog that feels like something from gnome2. Another system user doesn't have that when kate is run through it, however. Any ideas what might cause such deprecation?23:29
spongeHello23:47
spongeShould krita appear in Discover on kubuntu 16.04?23:48
clivejosponge: it might not23:49
spongeFor some reason I can't see it in Discover, but in synaptic I can see krita.23:49
clivejothe appstream info was probably missing or something23:52
clivejoactually its not in zesty either!23:55
clivejo!info krita23:55
ubottukrita (source: calligra): pixel-based image manipulation program for the Calligra Suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.9.11-0ubuntu1 (yakkety), package size 8263 kB, installed size 32423 kB23:55
clivejookay that would be why!23:55
spongeclivejo, Why? can you explain it to me?23:58
clivejoits an old version23:58
spongeBut how come it's in synaptic and not in discover?23:59
clivejosynaptic uses debian packages, discover uses appstream23:59
