| viewer|21592 | Hi all. I tried to instal Kubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox (Windows host), but on the third step whatever I did, button ">Next" is inactive. What I did wrong? | 07:29 |
| acheronuk | viewer|21592: give it a bigger virtaul disk. the virtualbox default of 8GB is too small. | 08:19 |
| viewer|21592 | Thanks. It works )) | 08:28 |
| acheronuk | viewer|21592: great :) | 09:11 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:29 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Good afternoon! I'm working with a gentleman whose pc I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. We have a problem - we're trying to get flashplayer to install, and it doesn't seem to have an "installation candidate". | 13:19 |
| BrokenNeckTech | I've tried googling to find an answer, but the only answers I can find involve updating apt and trying to install it again. Anyone else got any ideas please? | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | BrokenNeckTech, which browser do you want to use | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 13:25 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Hi BluesKaj - We're looking to use firefox | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | bro | 13:31 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Still here :) | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | BrokenNeckTech, install the flashpugin-installer, not the player | 13:32 |
| BrokenNeckTech | The flashplugin-installer is installed | 13:32 |
| BrokenNeckTech | But it's not installing anything and I can't get it to actually *do* anything | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | ok , so what issues do you have on websites | 13:33 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Missing items, websites telling us we need to install flash, etc | 13:33 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Can't play Bejeweled Blitz on facebook and so on | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | it doesn't install anyrthing the name is misleading, id it's installed so is flash | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | if=if | 13:34 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Hm. So why isn't flash working? | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | some sites use old flash versions that don't play on linux , I've encountered those myself | 13:35 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Firefox is giving no indication in the add-on's manager that flash is there | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | not many IME tho | 13:35 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Would it be wise to uninstall the package and try again? | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | did you type flash in the add ons search ? | 13:37 |
| BrokenNeckTech | yep | 13:37 |
| BrokenNeckTech | nothing | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | wow , I get all kinds of flash options | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | ok , have you updated and upgrade the OS sinc einstallation ? | 13:38 |
| BrokenNeckTech | I get things to install for downloading flash videos and stuff, like ripping from Youtube, but that's it | 13:38 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Yep, and that's finished | 13:38 |
| BrokenNeckTech | I'm having to fix my mind, I'm an old linux user, but I last used Kubuntu back at 12.04... things are still a bit rusty here! | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | BrokenNeckTech, ok ,check /usr/lib/mozilla for flashplugin, just to make sure it's there | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj | click on plugins, there should be flashplugin-alternative.so installed | 13:45 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Sorry about that Blueskaj. I lost connection | 13:46 |
| BrokenNeckTech | We're back on with flash. I removed and reinstalled the flashplugin-installer, it must have broken during the first run, because flash now appears in the add ons manager | 13:47 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Sorry about leading you up the garden path, but everything looks good now. I'll try to do a couple of websites and see how we go. | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | BrokenNeckTech, justb to be sure look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for flashplugin-alternative.so | 13:48 |
| BrokenNeckTech | ok mate hang on a sec :) | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | but flash is such a pita, can't wait for HTML5 to be fully adopted | 13:50 |
| BrokenNeckTech | yep, it's there as a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | cool, ok think you should be fine now | 13:51 |
| BrokenNeckTech | Thanks for the help, i've still got some other bits to finish so i better get on | 13:52 |
| BrokenNeckTech | If I need anything else i can come back | 13:52 |
| BrokenNeckTech | see ya | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | sure , we'll be here | 13:53 |
| Yaiyan | So uh, my taskbar's disappeared after logging in, anyone know how to get it back? | 14:16 |
| Yaiyan | I think I'm on 16.04, not sure how to doublecheck that | 14:16 |

| pidde | Hi | 19:32 |
| pidde | I need some help with dolphin not recognizing certain characters in file names? | 19:32 |
| BluesKaj | pidde, which characters? | 19:34 |
| pidde | Specifically å,ö and ä | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | swedish alphabet characters I bet, perhaps #ubuntu-se can help, pidde | 19:38 |
| pidde | They're swedish indeed | 19:38 |
| pidde | I'll try that channel | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | goo | 19:38 |

| pidde | BluesKaj do you have any other ideas? There's no answer in ubuntu-se... | 20:26 |
| jcgs | heya :) I'm trying to upgrade to kubuntu 16.10, but when I run do-release-upgrade -d it says "no new release found" what am i supposed to do? | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | jcgs, set your update manager to 'normal' instead of 'LTS only' | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | updates/upgrades | 20:30 |
| jcgs | got it | 20:31 |
| jcgs | /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 20:31 |
| jcgs | i would have thought just not running the program was safer than having an awkward file | 20:32 |
| jcgs | or a command line option | 20:32 |
| pidde | if i do an "ls" in the directory the file names are missing åäö | 20:33 |
| pidde | but things like vlc can still display and open the files just fine | 20:34 |
| BluesKaj | jcgs, if you set the update manager to normal run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to upgrade you packages before running do-release-upgrade | 20:34 |
| pidde | Solved! | 20:56 |
| pidde | By changing .kde/env/setlocale.sh | 20:56 |
| pidde | And then locale-gen sv_SE | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | heh, I thought your locaqle was already set to se | 20:59 |
| pidde | I thought so too until I checked that file :P | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | my first language was swedish 'til we moved to Canada when I was a 4 yr old ..I'm a finnish-swede like linus :-) | 21:01 |
| BluesKaj | like linus was | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | now a proud Canadian, especially after what happened in the US election | 21:03 |
| BluesKaj | anyway it's time to close up here | 21:05 |
| pidde | Interesting :) | 21:18 |
