[07:37] <Necy> Hey. how do i change screen resolution?
[07:38] <Necy> ah. got it.
[07:38] <Necy> is the res ment to be low on a live cd?
[09:01] <hateball> Necy: Probably depends what GPU/driver you have
[09:01] <hateball> But no, it is not *meant* to be low res
[09:02] <Necy> i think its because i havnt installed the drivers yet
[09:13] <jimtendo-X540S> Hi guys, long story short, I accidentally overwrote my hard drive's GRUB when trying to install Kubuntu 16.10 onto a USB Stick (from a USB Stick)... and I've created a bit of a mess in trying to repair it! Was wondering if someone might be able to let me know what my /etc/crypttab file should look like, particularly the first parameter as this is what I suspect is giving me errors when I run update-initramfs... Currently it looks like:
[09:13] <jimtendo-X540S> kubuntu--vg-root UUID=long-ass-uid-pertaining-to-sda3 none luks,discard
[09:13] <jimtendo-X540S> Does that look correct?
[09:14] <jimtendo-X540S> It is no longer throwing errors when I run update-initramfs, but I am afraid to reboot :(
[09:18] <jimtendo-X540S> Screw it, I'm going in! Wish me luck!
[09:37] <Necy> Hi. i've installed kde but im not detecting any wifi.
[09:37] <Necy> kubuntu*
[09:42] <Necy> its a dell laptop
[09:49] <Necy> i ran lshw command and there isnt even asnything under wireless
 Necy do yo have the driver installed?
[09:52] <Necy> its a clean install, so i doublt it.
[09:52] <Necy> doubt*
 run the driver manager
 and see what it says
[09:53] <Necy> it says "requires no proprietary drivers"
[09:56] <hateball> Necy: run "lspci" and look for network cards
[09:56] <hateball> Necy: some machines have things connected over USB, you can list that with "lsusb"
[09:56] <Guest52644> Hi all, tough guy here that was looking for a sample /etc/crypttab and then thought he had it right (but turns out he didn't) :(
[09:57] <Guest52644> Anyone think they could send me a sample /etc/crypttab that they have on their system?
[09:57] <hateball> Necy: and also you can run "rfkill list" to see if the device is visible at all and/or blocked by hardware button
[09:57] <Necy> hateball: ahh. it lists a broadcom wifi controller
[09:58] <Necy> softblocked: no, hardblocked: no
[09:58] <hateball> Necy: paste the lines
[09:58] <hateball> !paste
[09:58] <hateball> The chipset model is of interest here
[09:58] <hateball> Necy: does the machine have ethernet connectivity?
[09:58] <Necy> yeah. sec
[10:00] <Necy> paste.kde.org/pjowrgi05
[10:01] <Necy> i was looking on a forum and apparently this happens with broadcom
[10:01] <Necy> someone said
[10:03] <hateball> Necy: you need to install a few packages
[10:04] <hateball> gimme a sec
[10:05] <hateball> Necy: first, make sure dkms is installed "sudo apt install dkms"
[10:05] <hateball> Necy: but this should pull it in as it is a dependency, and this is the driver "sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source"
[10:06] <Necy> It said, untable to locate package dkms ( with "sudo apt install dkms")
[10:07] <hateball> Necy: is this a fresh install? if so run "sudo apt update" first
[10:08] <Necy> it is
[10:09] <Necy> shall i run it again now i have updated?
[10:09] <hateball> Necy: yes now run: sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
[10:10] <Necy> not "sudo apt install dkms" first?
[10:10] <hateball> Necy: nah should be no need
[10:10] <hateball> the source package depends on it, and dkms should be installed by default anyhow
[10:13] <hateball> Necy: how is it looking?
[10:13] <Necy> something about secure boot
[10:13] <Necy> being enabled
[10:13] <hateball> ugh.
[10:13] <hateball> this is a dualboot?
[10:13] <Necy> yea
[10:15] <hateball> Necy: alright, then we need to disable module validation first
[10:16] <Necy> -it asked if i would like to disable secureboot?
[10:16] <hateball> Necy: you'll have this issue with nvidia driver as well once we get to that
[10:16] <hateball> Necy: yeah, but it doesnt actually work afaik
[10:16] <hateball> Necy: so you need to run "sudo mokutil --disable-validation" and then "sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source"
[10:17] <Necy> should i exit out of this?
[10:17] <hateball> Necy: well you can say yes
[10:17] <hateball> I am just not sure that it actually works, so once it is done, run the commands above ^
[10:18] <Necy> yes to disable secureboot?
[10:18] <hateball> Necy: yes
[10:18] <hateball> Necy: it doesnt actually disable secureboot
[10:19] <hateball> that would make secureboot pointless, if software could change it
[10:19] <hateball> it tells the kernel to ignore module signing
[10:19] <Necy> do i need to give it a password (its asking for one)?
[10:19] <Necy> or leave it blank
[10:20] <hateball> try blank
[10:20] <hateball> as I said I think this step will fail
[10:20] <hateball> but see it through
[10:21] <Necy> ok
[10:21] <Necy> it wont let me set it blank :S
[10:22] <hateball> well, just feed it 1234 or something
[10:23] <Necy> ok. just loading
[10:23] <Necy> right. ill put them commands in
[10:24] <Necy> the first one is asking for a pw?
[10:25] <Necy> shall i just set it anything ?
[10:25] <Necy> (sudo mokutil --disable-validation)
[10:32] <Necy> "bcmwl-kernel-source is already at newest version"
[10:33] <hateball> Necy: yes set the first to anything
[10:34] <hateball> Necy: which I guess you did
[10:34] <Necy> :)
[10:34] <hateball> Necy: and now run "sudo apt full-upgrade"
[10:34] <hateball> and that should probably take a little while, and once all of that completes, do a reboot and hope everything works
[10:35] <hateball> and then... you'll want to use the proprietary nvidia driver
[10:35] <hateball> I can help you with that also, but I gotta head to lunch for a bit :p
[10:35] <Necy> ok. see you in abit! thanks
[11:17] <hateball> Necy: how's it look?
[11:20] <Necy> hey
[11:20] <Necy> still no wifi
[11:21] <Necy> i found this post though. do you think this would work..
[11:22] <Necy> forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=205840#p1071279
[11:22] <hateball> Necy: that is what we gone through
[11:22] <hateball> installing bcmwl-kernel-source
[11:22] <Necy> but the mirror post
[11:23] <Necy> for the ubuntu package
[11:23] <hateball> Necy: it's an outdated post, pointing to the package for trusty
[11:23] <hateball> Necy: there's no difference between kubuntu and ubuntu when it comes to the kernel
[11:23] <hateball> and modules etc
[11:24] <hateball> Necy: anyhow, did you finish all updates and reboot?
[11:24] <hateball> Necy: could try reinstalling the package I guess, now that you had run mokutil
[11:24] <hateball> "sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source"
[11:25] <Necy> i rebooted but i dont have wifi
[11:25] <Necy> ill give that a go
[11:29] <Necy> *restarts*
[11:31] <hateball> Necy: if it still fails, try "sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms"
[11:32] <Necy> it didnt work. ill try that
[11:37] <Necy> *reboots*
[11:39] <Necy> its listed in the driver manager, but no wifi
[11:40] <hateball> Necy: can you click network-manager in the tray and make sure that wifi is ticked?
[11:41] <hateball> Necy: also, could you pastebin the result of "dmesg" ?
[11:41] <Necy> wifi is not listed under active connections
[11:41] <Necy> ok
[11:43] <Necy> paste.kde.org/p5rcvdvbe
[11:44] <Necy> intel-microcode <-- should this be ticked in driver manager?
[11:45] <hateball> Necy: yea it doesnt hurt
[11:45] <hateball> Necy: it's like bugfixes for your CPU
[11:50] <hateball> Necy: I cant see that it tries to load any modules for the wifi. can you do it manually? "sudo modprobe wl && sudo modprobe bcma"
[11:51] <Necy> "modprobe: error: could not insert 'wl': required key not available"
[12:03] <Necy> i recall a blue box last time i rebooted (after bios) i cannot rememebr what i pressed though. maybe it will come up again.
[12:08] <hateball> Necy: yeah, so seems it's the secure boot stuff interfering
[12:09] <hateball> Necy: And that is outside of what I am familiar with, I only know that "sudo mokutil --disable-validation" should fix it
[12:09] <hateball> Necy: You could try asking in #ubuntu as this is not DE-specific
[12:09] <hateball> I neither use Windows nor Secure Boot
[12:10] <Necy> maybe if i run 'sudo mokutil --disable-validation' again and see that box that came up when i boot
[12:11] <hateball> doesnt hurt I guess. perhaps it asks you there if you want to disable signing validation
[12:12] <hateball> as I said, I have no idea as I dont use it myself
[12:12] <Necy> ill give it a go
[12:14] <Necy> it was just ETUFI key someting or other
[12:14] <Necy> ill ask the guys in ubuntu
[12:15] <Necy> thanks for the help
[12:15] <Necy> and time
[12:17] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:16] <R13ose> Hi
[14:18] <R13ose> I am still getting more frequently that the opers browser is freezing and the only way to move away the tabs is to scroll or move to new tab then go to another window and come back.  How do I fix this?
[15:32] <R13ose> Any thoughts on my question?
[15:57] <koffeinfriedhof> perhaps you'll better ask some opera-users than kde/plasma-users, R13ose. Never used opera :)
[16:00] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: yes but has happened with other programs too
[16:03] <koffeinfriedhof> R13ose: perhaps a GTK-Problem? Whats the output if you start opera in terminal and it crashes? journalctl may be helpful too. (journalctl -p err for errors only)
[16:05] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: happens randomly so I don't want close opera just to start in terminal but if best solution I will
[16:06] <koffeinfriedhof> Well, you do not need to close it now. Just start it in terminal next time and wait for a crash. Perhaps its a flash issue too? Which other programs are freezing/crashing?
[16:08] <R13ose> Was panel sometimes but I changed a lot of settings since.  I started opera in terminal as the problem happened again.
[16:14] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: ^
[16:16] <R13ose> Two errors so far.  1. Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" and 2. [0303/111223.068366:ERROR:KeyboardEventManager.cpp(424)] Not implemented reached in static bool.
[16:18] <koffeinfriedhof> did it crash?
[16:20] <koffeinfriedhof> overlay-srollbar seems to be unity, KeyboardEventManager-message: dunno. Never read the code^^
[16:38] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: no crash yet
[16:39] <koffeinfriedhof> ...just a little patience...*sing
[16:43] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: not really crashing but not redrawing properly
[16:45] <koffeinfriedhof> redrawing would be gtk, I think.
[16:51] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: yes but how to fix?
[16:54] <koffeinfriedhof> There are some settings in systemsettings5 - application style - gtk
[16:54] <koffeinfriedhof> R13ose: ^
[16:58] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: that says GNOME Application Style (GTK).  I thought I was using kde.  What should I change?
[17:00] <koffeinfriedhof> R13ose: dunno. I just have everything in Breeze/Oxygen-Style. The GTK-Options are "workarounds" for gtk-based programs not using Qt like KDE does.
[17:01] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: everything is in Breeze but cursor theme is breeze snow
[17:02] <koffeinfriedhof> ok. Then I don
[17:02] <koffeinfriedhof> 't know. Perhaps the crash shows something.
[17:06] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: when this happens :)
[17:09] <koffeinfriedhof> it will happen. could be tomorrow or next week... but it will happen again :)
[17:10] <R13ose> koffeinfriedhof: yep
[23:03] <ncntSkr> hi! running 16.04, I've mounted my ntfs data partition as usual. everytime after login (~ one minute), it seems that the disk has some heavy io to handle. i suspected some indexing going on, so i ignored the path in Settings -> Search -> File Search, but to no avail. any tips?
