lordievaderGood morning.08:12
budderjust installed alongside windows 10 but cannot access windows08:22
budderinstalled kubuntu 16.0408:23
buddergrub does not give option for windows08:23
lordievaderbudder: Could you pastebin the output of 'sudo parted /dev/sda print' (assuming here your main drive is listed as sda)?08:23
budderlordievader: i'm on a different computer08:26
lordievaderI'd still like to see the output.08:27
lordievaderRandom guesses are not going to help you much.08:28
budderlordievader: okay number 4 is primary ntfs and that's where windows should be. number 6 is logical  ext4 and should be kubuntu08:30
lordievaderAnd if you mount those you see your Windows files?08:31
budderwhat do you mean mount them>08:33
lordievaderMount the partitions, "sudo mount /dev/sda4 <mount-point>" you need to mount partitions before your are able to read the files off of them.08:34
budderlordievader: problem solved, just had to update grub! thanks!08:35
lordievaderThat was my next step ;)08:36

_Wens_will the security update kio for backports?15:37
Simonioushttps://goo.gl/photos/2tRacfa268koH21e6 three times installed, two different hard drives, same thing each time.  The console windows are fine, the GUI does this each time.  Hosed video card?  Bad video drivers?15:55
geniiSimonious: Is it only with numbers, or with all text?16:04
Simoniousall text16:05
geniiLooks like a font issue16:05
Simoniousseems odd with a clean new install16:05
geniiSimonious: What language did you choose during installation?16:06
SimoniousEnglish16:06
geniiMeh :(16:06
* Simonious laughs16:06
Simonioushuh?16:06
SimoniousIt's the only language I know at a reasonable level of competency.16:06
geniiSimonious: Apologies on lag, they were actually asking me to do some work for a bit, here at work.16:21
geniiSimonious: My first idea was that perhaps it's some unusual font from an odd language, but that seems unlikely now.16:22
acheronuk_Wens_: yes, it will be done fairly shortly I hope17:31

floogyHi, how can I speed up akonadi by using a SSD for it's mysql databases?22:18
floogyHere, I cannot see the config for the location https://bpaste.net/show/91966817a26c22:28
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> why not have your entire $Home on the SSD?22:31
floogyI got not enough space on that SSD partition to keep the whole $HOME there.22:32
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> first: you're not supposed to change the settings from your .local folder22:34
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> but from .config22:34
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> second... I'm looking now through the config to see if I can find something obvious22:34
ayt89floogy: if you have a lot of music, picture or video files that make your /home so big, you can start putting that on cloud services22:36
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> the db files should be in ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/22:37
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> ay89 not a bad advice, but that's not what the OP asked for22:37
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest44893
ayt89ircsomeBot: what he asked for is probably way beyond my level of computer literacy22:39
floogyIrcsomeBot, I symlinked ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ to the SSD, but then I wasn't able to start akonadi. I received mysql errors.22:39
ayt89ayt89: I can't even get Google Drive to integrate with my Kubuntu 16.0422:39
ayt89:)22:40
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> ayt89 that's google's fault22:40
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> floogy my nick is ovidiu-florin22:40
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> floogy that is my path, might not be the same for you22:40
ayt89ircsomeBot: it is. theyre kinda fairweather friends.22:40
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> also mysql might not support paths through symlinks22:41
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> ayt89 I use NextCloud22:41
ayt89how does it compare to ownCloud?22:41
ayt89I used to use ownCloud and think it's great ... just expensive if you want Drive-like amount of storage22:42
floogyYes, that was my conclusion too, therefor I search for the place to configure the mysql database location of akonadi, ovidiu-florin.22:42
* ayt89 sees that NextCloud is a fork of ownCloud22:43
* ayt89 not that my 'needs' are anywhere that advanced22:43
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> OwnCloud stays behind with development22:44
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> because the investors don't want to add functionality that dropbox doesn't have22:45
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> so they split22:45
ayt89ircsomeBot: well Dropbox is about as user friendly as they get. not a bad template ;)22:45
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Nextcloud client supports 16.04 and up22:46
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> floogy any luck?22:47
floogy~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc  seems not to keep the database location.22:49
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> you can create a ~/.config/akonadi/mysql_local file22:49
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> that can keep mysql settings22:49
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> but I'm not sure what kind of settings22:49
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> and what's the syntax22:49
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> # Global Akonadi MySQL server settings, … # These settings can be adjusted using $HOME/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf22:51
floogyegrep -r  db_data ~/.config/akonad* gives no results22:51
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> I think that path is set in the akonadi defaults22:51
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> I'm doing a more in depth search: `sudo grep -R db_data /*`22:54
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> apparently I'll check for the results in the morning23:01
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> anyway, I still haven't found a way to stop akonadi from starting at startup23:01
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> have you?23:01
ayt89as far as Im concerned Akonadi is too tortuous and busy for the end-user with basic needs23:02
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> it's actually an awesome piece of software23:03
ayt89(kind of ironic then that I switched from elementaryOS to Kubuntu where everything is far more configurable and possibly breakable)23:03
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> if it's extensions were stable, it woulbe be actually usable23:03
ayt89ircsomeBot: I agree, but not all people are sysadmins or some such23:03
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> you don't need to be a sysadmin23:03
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> akonadi is a pim management tool23:04
ayt89ircsomeBot: I'm fairly happy with akonadi by now ... use Kontact now and every day23:04
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> ayt89 ircsomeBot is the relay bot between Telegram and IRC23:05
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> I'm ovidiu-florin23:05
ayt89??23:05
ayt89confusion..23:05
ayt89o I think I get it23:06
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @ovidiuflorin, and I'm not23:06
ayt89except Idont know anything about the 'Telegram' protocol23:06
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> you don't have to23:06
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> see?23:06
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> Rik just sent a message from telegram as well23:06
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> he mean't that he's not me23:07
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> but you don't see what he quoted, so his message may not make sense on IRC23:07
acheronuktelegram -> http://i.imgur.com/T27riFU.png23:09
IrcsomeBot<ovidiuflorin> thank you rik23:10
