[00:01] <EventHorizon> removing backport still brings up the error series
[00:02] <valorie> what other PPAs do you have in there, EventHorizon?
[00:03] <EventHorizon> ubunty yakkety main, graphic driver, grub customizer - thats it under 'other'
[00:03] <valorie> hmmm
[00:03] <valorie> phantom PPA
[00:03] <EventHorizon> its probably main...
[00:04] <valorie> you don't want to remove the main repo
[00:04] <valorie> just the kubuntu-ppa
[00:05] <EventHorizon> OK thatnks for your help guys...  I'll have a think... Doesn't appear to be an easy fix at this stage.
[00:07] <valorie> sure it is
[00:07] <valorie> !repo
[00:07] <valorie> even if you have to edit a file, it's not hard to keep repos straight
[00:07]  * valorie is no guy either
[00:08] <EventHorizon> removing /kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu yakkety mian appears to have remove the error - any ideas why?
[00:08] <valorie> because it doesn't exist
[00:08] <valorie> as I said before
[00:09] <EventHorizon> sorry...  you probably did (have a toddler running around my legs - never a great time to pc probelm solve)
[00:09] <EventHorizon> Can i remove it from the listing easilty???
[00:10] <valorie> look at those links I gave to you
[00:10] <EventHorizon> will do... i'll save the log.  THANK YOU ALL!!!
[00:10] <valorie> easiest to just comment it out, but of course it can be removed as well
[00:10] <valorie> since it doesn't exist
[00:12] <EventHorizon> cheers. mate.
[09:09] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:12] <ilya> Hi :)
[09:21] <lordievader> Hey ilya
[09:21] <lordievader> How are you?
[09:27] <ilya> I am fine! Although can't say that about my Kubuntu installation...
[09:37] <lordievader> Why not?
[09:40] <ilya> Well, there are numerous really annoying bugs...  I thought they are caused by problems when upgrading to 16.10, but they seem to be common.
[09:42] <ilya> I 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] <ilya> Now think of installing openSUSE, Neon or Manjaro instead :(
[09:53] <lordievader> What kind of problems?
[10:35] <viewer|36621> Hello! 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?
[10:39] <Antony567> How to autostart few users?
[10:55] <ilya> lordievader, numerous. See this bug report, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-workspace/+bug/1633721
[10:56] <ilya> Also the network is not found from time to time, the only way to connect is rebooting.
[10:57] <ilya> See this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1434986
[10:58] <ilya> Considering the publication dates of those bug reports and message contents, I doubt they will ever be fixed.
[10:59] <lordievader> Hmm
[12:16] <user|70651> ciao
[12:27] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[17:01] <nikescomputers> Hello im a noob in kubuntu im have a error the following packages have unmet dependencies gwenview depends : libkf5kipi-bin 16.10
[18:11] <Lancelot> hey
[20:23] <yocs0000> what is the name of the root user on mysql in ubuntu?!
[20:28] <soee> yocs0000: root ?
[22:01] <Guest23911> Hello. 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] <Guest23911> and i can't get around that
[22:05] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: 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.
[22:08] <Guest23911> oh btw I tried other Ubuntu flavors too and they all have a problem with that, but just with this particular hdd
[22:13] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: If you don't need to keep the existing data you can just delete all existing partitions and start fresh.
[22:14] <Guest23911> there is nothing on there and just deleting all of it and letting the installer do the partitioning automatically makes it run into the error above
[22:19] <Guest23911> where can I send screenshots?
[22:23] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: If you can delete everything, use Patitition manager to create a new partition table and that should fix the problem.
[22:24] <Guest23911> still same error with that
[22:29] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: When you apply your changes in paritition manager does it return any errors?
[22:30] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: How big is your hard drive?
[22:30] <Guest23911> 1TB
[22:30] <Guest23911> and no
[22:31] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: 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.
[22:32] <Guest23911> did 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] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: Use the manual option in the during install to manually assign "/" (root), set the swap type, and assign "/home".
[22:32] <DarinMiller> Kubuuntu 16.04?
[22:33] <Guest23911> yup
[22:34] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: I have had to fight this battle awhile back but I the steps above usually fix it.
[22:34] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: What type of BIOS?  UEFI?
[22:34] <Guest23911> BIOS
[22:34] <Guest23911> i'm installing on a pentium d
[22:35] <Guest23911> but the problem could be that i'm installing to an external hdd
[22:35] <Guest23911> and i have no way to get around that
[22:41] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: 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.
[22:42] <DarinMiller> Linux will mount the drive but incorrectly displays the partitions.
[22:42] <Guest23911> well i tried it on a different pc first so i think i can safely rule out bios issues
[22:43] <Guest23911> don'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 that
[22:49] <DarinMiller> Guest23911:   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] <Guest23911> i tried it on a 1yo laptop
[22:55] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: 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.
[22:56] <Guest23911> yeah nope :D
[22:56] <Guest23911> i could try it on my tower too but it'll probably fail the same way
[22:59] <Guest23911> i'll try to get the hdd out of the case and plug it in normally, and just putting it back in the case after install
[23:00] <DarinMiller> Guest23911: 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] <Guest23911> ok wtf
[23:00] <Guest23911> i tried to make a new partiton table with fdisk
[23:01] <Guest23911> well it made a new table but still run into the same error while trying to install after that
[23:03] <Hailwood> Hey 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?
[23:05] <Hailwood> Here's what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/BON3k8g.jpg
 do you mean it is a black screen...
 oh
[23:07] <ahoneybun> Hailwood: try to run "kquitapp plasmashell && plasmashell" in krunner
[23:07] <ahoneybun> that will kill plasmashell and then start it again
[23:14] <Hailwood> ahoneybun, 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?
[23:15] <Hailwood> Ok, ghosting fixed, just removed the overlayed bar.
[23:16] <Hailwood> Something 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.
