[00:00] <valorie> cool to see people from all over here!
[00:00]  * valorie lives south of Seattle, in the northwest of the US
[00:01] <nezer> Yes )
[00:01] <nezer> Linux forever )
[00:02] <nezer> Do anybody remember FidoNet ?
[00:04] <cablop> kde channel is dead...
[00:04] <valorie> yes, I used fidonet
[00:04] <valorie> via my son's citadel BBS
[00:04] <valorie> on dialup
[00:04] <valorie> cablop: most KDE users and devels are european
[00:05] <valorie> and probably most are sleeping, if not returning from fosdem
[00:06] <nezer> I am not sure about KDE and Europe. Just now KDE is not very popular
[00:07] <valorie> ?
[00:07] <valorie> I guess that depends on who you ask
[00:10] <nezer> BBS, yeah )) dialup, and strange sounds )
[00:10] <nezer> pshhhhhh.. schhhhh )
[00:10] <valorie> I have a bouncer and usually read all scrollback: #kde is very busy
[00:11] <valorie> yup, I do remember
[00:11] <valorie> the longer you heard it, the slower it was going
[00:11] <valorie> but I started with 300 baud, so I was used to slow
[00:11] <nezer> 9600 )
[00:11] <nezer> wow
[00:11] <nezer> 300
[00:11] <valorie> I could out-type it!
[00:19] <ar_sahito> hi humans
[00:19] <ar_sahito> I need help
[00:20] <valorie> how can we help, ar_sahito?
[00:21] <ar_sahito> i was asking if there were any way to have ubuntu-gnome as my default de.
[00:22] <ar_sahito> I installed kubuntu.iso actually
[00:22] <ar_sahito> P.S: don't want to lose my apps and games
[00:23] <valorie> you can install gnome-desktop I believe
[00:23] <valorie> then grub will offer you a choice when you login
[00:23] <ar_sahito> valorie would that get me rid of kubuntu?
[00:23] <valorie> !info gnome-desktop
[00:23] <valorie> ar_sahito: no
[00:23] <valorie> hmmm, wonder what it is called now
[00:24] <ar_sahito> i am using xenial xerxus ubottu
[00:24] <ar_sahito> valorie? then?
[00:24] <valorie> why did you install Kubuntu if you wanted Gnome?
[00:24] <ar_sahito> Actually I had gnome
[00:24] <valorie> as I said, it will offer you a choice
[00:24] <valorie> ?
[00:24] <ar_sahito> then things happened and it crashed
[00:24] <ar_sahito> then i downloaded kubuntu
[00:25] <ar_sahito> and now I beleive my lap can't handle it.
[00:25] <valorie> gnome is not "lighter" than plasma
[00:25] <tresh> kde run on a potatoe so your laptop is 'ok'
[00:26] <valorie> if you want a more light-weight desktop, you might try Lubuntu
[00:26] <valorie> it's all a matter of what you like more
[00:26] <valorie> both for the desktop and the apps
[00:26] <valorie> of course you can mix it all up if you like
[00:26] <ar_sahito> valorie but then it would get me rid of my kde, right??
[00:27] <valorie> no, unless you uninstall plasma and apps, it will be there
[00:27] <valorie> ah, the command is: `sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop`
[00:28] <ar_sahito> how can i uninstall plasma then? valorie?
[00:28] <ar_sahito> tresh i didn't get that.
[00:28] <valorie> hmmm, unsure
[00:28] <valorie> uninstalling plasma-destop doesn't get rid of all the parts of it
[00:28] <ar_sahito> tbh kde was doin fine untill i messed it up,
[00:29] <ar_sahito> and i messed up pretty bad
[00:29] <nezer> bye, friends!\n
[00:29] <valorie> why not fix it instead then?
[00:29] <valorie> niters nezer
[00:29] <ar_sahito> well how can you fix it.
[00:29] <ar_sahito> Most icons are invisble
[00:29] <valorie> what did you do/mess up?
[00:29] <ar_sahito> and rest are ugly.
[00:29] <ar_sahito> valorie not sure
[00:30] <valorie> ah
[00:30] <valorie> first thing to do is get a Konsole open
[00:30] <valorie> and then: `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade`
[00:31] <ar_sahito> valorie
[00:31] <ar_sahito> on it
[00:31] <valorie> cool
