[01:11] <Guest60127> ok...way outa practice here; anyone home?
[01:20] <DarinMiller> Guest60127: What's up?
[01:22] <Guest60127> trying to get a laserjet 2100 working, real issue since mobo only had an lpt1 header (no actual port)
[01:23] <Guest60127> so I bought 2 add-on cards that are being recognized, but that's it; OS doesn't seem to see the printer beyond the card
[01:23] <DarinMiller> Does the printer showup  when you type lsusb?
[01:24] <Guest60127> not a usb printer, parallel port printer
[01:25] <Guest60127> i even disabled lpt1 in bios, so now cli doesn't recognize it anymore (good)
[01:25] <DarinMiller> Guest60127: hmm, never had to trouble shoot a parallel port printer on linux.
[01:25] <Guest60127> exactly, usually they're pretty straight-forward pnp
[01:26] <DarinMiller> what about: ls /dev/lp*
[01:27] <DarinMiller> or cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
[01:27] <Guest60127> no matter what I type in for the *, I get no such file or directory
[01:28] <DarinMiller> same output on my box, but I don't have a PP printer either....
[01:28] <Guest60127> the cat command you just gave me gave me nada
[01:29] <DarinMiller> I don't think I would be much help as I don't have similar equip. to help investigage...
[01:29] <Guest60127> thanks anyway

[08:19] <jubo2> Merry Xmas copyleftists
[08:20] <jubo2> Where do I turn off the "lock screen after N minutes inactivity" ?
[08:20] <jubo2> It somewhere confusing so I'm not finding it in the System Settings
[08:21] <efeciftci> you may search for "screen locking" in system settings, it will point you to desktop behaviour -> screen locking
[08:21] <jubo2> thanks efeciftci!
[08:21] <efeciftci> you're welcome :)
[08:23] <jubo2> The 16.04 desktop graphic was much more aesthetic than the 16.10 one.. where can I easily get the old one ?
[08:29] <acheronuk> jubo2: the wallpaper?
[08:30] <jubo2> acheronuk: yeah
[08:37] <acheronuk> jubo2: there may be somewhere easier, but here for plasma 5.6: https://cgit.kde.org/breeze.git/tree/wallpapers/Next/contents/images?h=Plasma/5.6
[08:37] <acheronuk> and here for 5.5 https://cgit.kde.org/breeze.git/tree/wallpapers/Next/contents/images?h=Plasma/5.5
[08:37] <acheronuk> the little link "plain" on the right give you a download
[08:59] <jubo2> thanks acheronuk
[09:00] <jubo2> my screen resolution matches none of those.. what should I do?
[09:02] <acheronuk> I would pick the 2 closest and try those with the 'scaled' option set. one of those would be what plasma would pick as a closest match if they were installed natively
[09:07] <jubo2> ok.. I try that at some point in time
[09:07] <jubo2> Right now waiting for some files to be copied
[11:34] <dima> Hi enybody
[12:40] <xps> why would i want to have 2 monitors and switch between them while moving the cursor?
[12:40] <xps> how do i disable that
[12:40] <xps> im going crazy here lol
[13:12] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:20] <user|86614> what are the system requirements for kubuntu?
[13:51] <ste> hello everyone
[14:09] <einszweidrei> Hello. Is there any way to get KDE 4 in Kubuntu 16.04? :(
[14:20] <BluesKaj> einszweidrei, no, but you could install 14.04LTS which is still supported. that will give you KDE4
[14:22] <BluesKaj> einszweidrei, but I'm guessing you already knew that
[14:45] <Guest42991> kubuntu is a w e s o me
[14:45] <Guest42991> switched from mate to kde. Did not like gnome 3 or xfce that much
[14:48] <BluesKaj> Guest42991, yes it is
[17:45] <BluesKaj> !mint
[19:24] <user|73863> Hi. Got Kernel panic after last update on kubuntu 16.10 x64. Any suggestions?
[19:24] <user|73863> Before it happens only for 4.8 kernel. now it finally got 4.4 kernel
[19:27] <acheronuk> user|73863: kernel issues are not really anything to do with kubuntu, or at least we don't look after that. you have a higher probability of getting help on the main ubuntu help channel
[19:29] <user|73863> Well problem is that I have ubuntu 16.04 on my work laptop and it still run 4.4 without any problem. So I belive actually something is wrong with kubuntu version.
[19:31] <acheronuk> kubuntu does not modify the kernel or init system, so it's more likely to be an issue with the hardware on that machine with that kernel version
[19:49] <user|73863> No it's not hardware problem. I'm writing int this chat right now from the mashine, but from 4.1 under opensuse.
[20:02] <acheronuk> user|73863: different distro patch and build the kernel in different ways, so that indicates not very much
[20:03] <acheronuk> remains the case that if you have an issue with that ubuntu kernel version, a better bet for help is the main ubuntu channel
[20:03] <user|73863> ok thanks
[20:04] <acheronuk> user|73863: yeah. not trying to fob you off. just point to where you may have the best chance of help, on what may be a quiet evening on IRC
[20:27] <itisme> put in a new vid card, but haven't been able to boot normally, is it best to reinstall?
[20:28] <BluesKaj> Merry Christmas to and to all a Good Night! :-)
[20:43] <DarinMiller> itisme: AMD or NVidia?
[20:44] <itisme> nvidia
[20:44] <itisme> can't find a way into a repair or recovery mode
[20:45] <DarinMiller> inetpro: hold the shift key when rebooting the PC
[20:46] <DarinMiller> sry inetpro, I meant itisme^
[20:46] <itisme> i"ll try that and see what happens
[20:47] <itisme> may be back in a few
[20:47] <DarinMiller> ok
[21:03] <itisme> no luck, is there some way I can use this installer to unlock the harddrives so I can backup a couple things and then I will reinstall, should be faster than trying to figure out exactly how to get this to repair properly
[21:41] <Trioxin> I need help. I'm stuck at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0-32-generic anytime I run apt-upgrade or try to remove a kernel
[21:41] <Trioxin> initially I got these errors: https://hastebin.com/jegeyitoxi.cpp3
[21:42] <Trioxin> https://hastebin.com/idayolugub.pas
[21:42] <itisme> that didn't work either
[21:42] <Trioxin> no idea what to do
[21:45] <itisme> did anyone asnwer me after my system went weird again?  trying to figure out how to get access to backup some files from the install that goes to a black screen so I can just reinstall and go from there
[21:47] <itisme> can't figure out a way of getting rid of or getting the latest nvidia stuff to update the current install that acutally works and doesn't black screen so reinstall seems the best route
[22:03] <user|37318> hi
[22:03] <user|37318> what do i need to instal the os from the usb
[23:42] <Dienonymous> Merry Christmas, your most beautiful memories will reach your heart.
