[02:01] <nc_> I'm having internet problems on just one pc of mine when I go to any browser it says can't resolve DNS server
[02:02] <nc_> my internet is connected fine it shows my wifi is on and has a signal
[02:02] <nc_> I tried restarting network manager
[02:02] <nc_> that didn't help
[02:41] <mparillo> can you ping 172.217.5.238
[02:42] <Unit193> Yarp.
[03:55] <valorie> !wubi
[09:40] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:44] <R13ose> How do I adjust brightness of screen?
[09:45] <lordievader> Laptop or desktop?
[09:45] <R13ose> Laptop
[09:45] <lordievader> R13ose: Laptops usualy have shortcuts for that.
[09:45] <R13ose> Not working
[09:46] <lordievader> Did you disable acpi functions?
[09:46] <R13ose> no
[09:47] <lordievader> The slider in the ui also does nothing?
[09:48] <R13ose> Which slider?
[09:49] <lordievader> System settings -> power -> screen brightness
[09:51] <R13ose> I don't see that
[09:52] <lordievader> R13ose: Could you send a screenshot of the power management module in system settings?
[09:56] <R13ose> One sec

[09:58] <lordievader> Interesting.
[09:59] <lordievader> R13ose: The kernel option 'acpi_backlight=vendor' might help you.
[09:59] <lordievader> See https://askubuntu.com/a/128471
[10:03] <R13ose> I did that but don't want to reboot.
[10:04] <lordievader> You need to reboot for that option to take effect.
[10:05] <R13ose> Fine I will reboot
[10:10] <R13ose> Now keys are working
[10:11] <lordievader> R13ose: Good to hear :)
[10:11] <R13ose> Thanks
[10:12] <lordievader> No problem.
[10:12] <R13ose> There is no way to do kernel things without restarting?
[10:14] <lordievader> Well to do this you'd need to remove the acpi modules, which are most likely in use.
[10:15] <R13ose> To do?
[10:15] <lordievader> Change options of kernel modules.
[10:16] <Fritigern> Does anyone know how long it takes on average for a new version of Plasma to land in the backports repo? I am looking forward to playing with 5.9 (yeah, I know it will be done when it's done, but what's the average?)
[10:21] <R13ose> How do I make booting faster?
[10:22] <lordievader> R13ose: What version of Kubuntu do you run?
[10:23] <R13ose> 16.10
[10:23] <lordievader> R13ose: 'sudo systemd-analyse blame'
[10:25] <R13ose> lordievader: okay
[10:25] <lordievader> That command shows you which service took how long to start.
[10:26] <R13ose> lordievader: yes but how to speed up?
[10:27] <lordievader> R13ose: Go through the list and see if those services are necessary.
[10:27] <lordievader> If they are, find out why they are taking (too) long.
[10:27] <R13ose> Why?
[10:28] <lordievader> R13ose: Because you ask to speed it up?
[10:29] <lordievader> Other approach is, of course, getting faster disks/cpu/ram, etc.
[10:31] <R13ose> lordievader: yes but unsure what to do with the list
[10:32] <lordievader> R13ose: Like I said, go through the services and check if you use them, if not they can be disabled.
[10:32] <R13ose> How to d i s a b l e?
[10:33] <lordievader> R13ose: sudo systemctl disable <service-name>
[10:33] <R13ose> No gui way?
[10:34] <lordievader> R13ose: There might be, don't know.
[10:34] <R13ose> Ok
[11:27] <user|56680> Hola buen dia, quisiera hacer una consulta: cuando inicio el proceso de instalacion de la version 14.04 no termina

[11:28] <koffeinfriedhof> !es
[11:28] <user|56680> Ok, thank's
[11:29] <user|56680> Hello, my kubuntu install ver 14.04 not finish, why?
[12:38] <jubo2> I got buggy hw or buggy sw
[12:39] <jubo2> symptoms: system freezes so only cursor moves and then commands are executed in rapid succession
[12:39] <jubo2> and Memtest86+ freezes when run in SMP mode
[12:40] <jubo2> This is the 2nd 2nd hand HW exhibiting this
[12:40] <jubo2> Computers of the poor..
[12:41] <jubo2> fortunately servers that run reliably can be purchased for few moneys / month
[12:45] <jubo2> Hiya BluesKaj
[12:45] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:46] <BluesKaj> hi jubo2
[12:46] <jubo2> How is things BluesKaj?
[12:47] <jubo2> damn.. my English is starting to detoriate from all the polanballism
[12:47] <BluesKaj> good here, jubo2, and you?
[12:47] <jubo2> I'm ok
[12:47] <jubo2> not like good, more a fine
[12:48] <jubo2> BluesKaj: you had to ask a Finn "How's it going?" .. many muricans don't expect what the Finn says
[12:49] <jubo2> not saying you are Murican
[12:49] <BluesKaj> good is just an expression, not to be taken too literally
[12:49] <jubo2> Kaj would imply Swedish origin
[12:49] <BluesKaj> yup
[12:50] <jubo2> but you don't live in Sweden
[12:50] <BluesKaj> but born in Finland
[12:50] <jubo2> I should prlly file for asylum in Sweden
[12:50] <BluesKaj> been in Canada since Iwas 4yrs old
[12:50] <jubo2> Kanada!
[12:50] <jubo2> I love it
[12:51] <jubo2> It's like it was bordering on Murica and Nordics
[12:51] <BluesKaj> well, it's becoming quite "asian" in the big cities
[12:52] <jubo2> Most people would like to be in Canada if they knew how nice it is
[13:02] <fauxalliance> The Peoples Republic of Cannuckistan
[13:02] <fauxalliance> ^^pretty nice
[14:52] <vgoodguy> guys, any way to reset the kde?
