ubottuThe packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories00:07

lordievaderGood morning09:09
ilyaHi :)09:12
lordievaderHey ilya09:21
lordievaderHow are you?09:21
ilyaI am fine! Although can't say that about my Kubuntu installation...09:27
lordievaderWhy not?09:37
ilyaWell, there are numerous really annoying bugs...  I thought they are caused by problems when upgrading to 16.10, but they seem to be common.09:40
ilyaI thought about making a fresh install, but decided to install Kubuntu to a USB drive first, and now I see that many problems exist there as well.09:42
ilyaNow think of installing openSUSE, Neon or Manjaro instead :(09:42
lordievaderWhat kind of problems?09:53
viewer|36621Hello! I just installed kubuntu but there is a problem with nvidia driver... And I try to execute driver manager but nothing happen. Someone can help me?10:35
Antony567How to autostart few users?10:39
ilyalordievader, numerous. See this bug report, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-workspace/+bug/163372110:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1633721 in polkit-kde-agent-1 (Ubuntu) "Weird input behaviour in some Plasma stuff (Kicker, KRunner, privilege window)" [Undecided,Confirmed]10:55
ilyaAlso the network is not found from time to time, the only way to connect is rebooting.10:56

Guest23911Hello. I have a wierd bug. I want to install the system from USB and with default partitioning settings it gives me an error. Goes something like 'The partition /dev/sda1 assigned to /  starts at an offset of 3584 bytes form the minum alignment of this disk...'22:01
Guest23911and i can't get around that22:01
DarinMillerGuest23911: Open KDE partition manager and try resizing the partition.  Before resizing, click on the advanced button in the resize menu, and check the Align partition checkbox.22:05
Guest23911oh btw I tried other Ubuntu flavors too and they all have a problem with that, but just with this particular hdd22:08
=== singh is now known as singh1969
DarinMillerGuest23911: If you don't need to keep the existing data you can just delete all existing partitions and start fresh.22:13
Guest23911there is nothing on there and just deleting all of it and letting the installer do the partitioning automatically makes it run into the error above22:14
Guest23911where can I send screenshots?22:19
DarinMillerGuest23911: If you can delete everything, use Patitition manager to create a new partition table and that should fix the problem.22:23
Guest23911still same error with that22:24
DarinMillerGuest23911: When you apply your changes in paritition manager does it return any errors?22:29
DarinMillerGuest23911: How big is your hard drive?22:30
Guest239111TB22:30
Guest23911and no22:30
DarinMillerGuest23911: Try manully creating 3 partitions.  I recommend creating 25 to 50G partition for root, a swap partitoin that is the same size as RAM and leave the rest for /home.22:31
Guest23911did that too. at the end of installing it gives me an error that says: "subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"22:32
DarinMillerGuest23911: Use the manual option in the during install to manually assign "/" (root), set the swap type, and assign "/home".22:32
DarinMillerKubuuntu 16.04?22:32
Guest23911yup22:33
DarinMillerGuest23911: I have had to fight this battle awhile back but I the steps above usually fix it.22:34
DarinMillerGuest23911: What type of BIOS?  UEFI?22:34
Guest23911BIOS22:34
Guest23911i'm installing on a pentium d22:34
Guest23911but the problem could be that i'm installing to an external hdd22:35
Guest23911and i have no way to get around that22:35
DarinMillerGuest23911: You may be fighting a BIOS issues that cannot handle 1TB HD's or partitions larger than a certain size (guessing here....).    Try creating 3 primary partitions and secondary parition to keep the partiton size under 500GB and see if that helps.  Also, it maybe your external HD HW does not support 1TB.  My older USB HD cases, choke on my 2.5" 1TB drive.22:41
DarinMillerLinux will mount the drive but incorrectly displays the partitions.22:42
Guest23911well i tried it on a different pc first so i think i can safely rule out bios issues22:42
Guest23911don't know about the other thing though. well i can use it as a normal external hdd for storage so i'm really not sure about that22:43
DarinMillerGuest23911:   Since you are install ing to the external HD, do you have a newer or different computer you could use to run the install?22:49
Guest23911i tried it on a 1yo laptop22:49
DarinMillerGuest23911: OK, then I am stumped.  Bring over to my house and I can throw  it in  my desktop and see if desktop HW makes a difference.22:55
Guest23911yeah nope :D22:56
Guest23911i could try it on my tower too but it'll probably fail the same way22:56
Guest23911i'll try to get the hdd out of the case and plug it in normally, and just putting it back in the case after install22:59
DarinMillerGuest23911: A couple years ago, I had use dd to re-write the boot sector as none of the std partition tools would touch the drive.  It worked but it was awhile go  so I don't remember the details.23:00
Guest23911ok wtf23:00
Guest23911i tried to make a new partiton table with fdisk23:00
Guest23911well it made a new table but still run into the same error while trying to install after that23:01
HailwoodHey folks! Hopefully an easy question - I've recently setup my Kubuntu 16.10 system with three monitors (Integrated card HDMI, Dedicated HDMI, Dedicated DVI). It's working great except the monitor for the Dedicated HDMI doesn't have any "Desktop Environment". It's a strange one because I can drag windows onto it etc, I just can't right click the desktop and it has no wallpaper or panels. Ideas?23:03
HailwoodHere's what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/BON3k8g.jpg23:05
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> do you mean it is a black screen...23:05
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> oh23:05
ahoneybunHailwood: try to run "kquitapp plasmashell && plasmashell" in krunner23:07
ahoneybunthat will kill plasmashell and then start it again23:07
Hailwoodahoneybun, That has worked to bring it up, unfortunately though I need to run that at every login (just tried restarting). I also end up with some wierd bar "ghosting" going on - http://i.imgur.com/rRDJBne.png See behind the IM icon?23:14
HailwoodOk, ghosting fixed, just removed the overlayed bar.23:15
HailwoodSomething that seems to be related is on the login screen the left and center screens are synced (if I type my password in one it appears in the other), but the right one seems to be acting on it's own.23:16
