[00:32] <Oderus> i! having issues installing a package and looking for assistance. here's the output. https://paste.ubuntu.com/24179605/
[05:28] <KsChoice> Hi there. I have a desktop with 3 ASUS VGA cards (VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)) 3 monitors, and Kubuntu 16.04. If I try to select the nvidia 340 driver, my system won't boot anymore, it seems I can only use nouvou driver, but with that at boot I do see the three monitors working, but as soon as login comes, only one is working. after login xrandr only recognizes one card, though lspci shows
[05:28] <KsChoice>  the 3 cards.. Any idea how I can get the system to use the 3 monitors?
[05:54] <KsChoice> Some further investigation in xorg log shows "/dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied" and same for card2.. Google wasn't too helpful yet with the exception of some specific projects that were not X.. Anybody here who might have an idea?
[06:19] <hateball> KsChoice: what seems to be the question? I only saw your last line
[06:19] <Phoenixz> hateball: Hi there. I have a desktop with 3 ASUS VGA cards (VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)) 3 monitors, and Kubuntu 16.04.

[06:19] <Phoenixz> That was my original message :)
[06:21] <hateball> ah
[06:21] <hateball> Phoenixz: Sorry I don't know much about older devices
[06:22] <hateball> or the 340 driver rather
[06:22] <hateball> 340 should be supported for that card tho
[06:22] <Phoenixz> hateball: older devices? you mean the video cards?
[06:22] <hateball> yea
[06:23] <Phoenixz> hateball: well, the 340 completely messes up.. nouveau doesn't do anything with the cards because of that error.. Now trying the 304 driver
[06:23] <hateball> nVidia considers anything that runs 340 at most as legacy
[06:23] <hateball> Phoenixz: I dunno if you would have any luck using a PPA for newer MESA (nouveau)
[06:24] <Phoenixz> hateball: I'll try that as well..
[06:24] <hateball> If you feel adventerous you can use this unsupported PPA https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
[06:24] <hateball> !ppa
[06:25] <Phoenixz> hateball: I hate that linux still has such shoddy multimonitor support :(
[06:25] <Phoenixz> I'll take a look at that adventurous PPA as well
[06:25] <Phoenixz> setup 304 driver, going to reboot, see if that works
[06:32] <hateball> Phoenixz: to make matters worse when it comes to multimonitor, you'll want to use kubuntu ppa to bring your plasma/qt up
[06:32] <hateball> as that in itself by default in 16.04 is terrible with multimonitor
[06:32] <hateball> It's still not perfect for me, and I am using Intel driver where I have multimonitor
[06:37] <KsChoice> Any hopes of this improving any day soon? Back with kubuntu 5 I setup a system with 5 video cards which required a lot of manual setup work, but it worked.. Now at 16, its still next near impossible to configure multiple monitors..
[06:46] <hateball> KsChoice: well, are you using kubuntu ppa?
[06:46] <hateball> plasma 5.8 brings a lot of fixes
[06:46] <hateball> but there's stuff in Qt that needs fixing also, I am not sure if that is making it into 17.04
[06:47] <hateball> KsChoice: you could prod acheronuk or someone in #kubuntu-devel that might be in the know more than I :)
[07:11] <tjaalton> hi, analitza autopkgtests are blocking mesa, has anyone had a look at them?
 @tjdalton - try #kubuntu-devel
[08:04] <Mrokii> Hello. Update Manager shows a strange bug for me. On my earlier Ubuntu-installation it showed a big area with a list of all currently downloading updates. But on Kubuntu, that area is only about two lines high (no matter how big the window is, the rest of the window below is just empty), so I only ever see one download at a time. I can scroll within this area though, to see the other downloads happening or
[08:04] <Mrokii> completed. But I can never see more than one download-entry.
[08:47] <BlackKatMike> Hi everybody. Sorry if I ask something that maybe has already been answered elsewhere, but I googling around and searching Kubuntuforums didn't help...
[08:49] <BlackKatMike> I'm trying to install Xenial on a Virtualbox for a little test. I'm using the latest LTE amd64 image (16.04.2). I just double-checked the sha256 sum of the ISO and it matches...
[08:50] <BlackKatMike> The VM boots fine from the ISO, however once launching the installer I get stuck at the second installation screen (the one with checkmarks to download updates and install proprietary stuff): the "Continue" button is unclickable.
[08:51] <BlackKatMike> I recall I already had this problem with a previous ISO (16.04 or 16.04.1 maybe?), but only in Virtualbox guests. I installed Xenial fine on my laptop.
[08:52] <BlackKatMike> In the end, for VMs I gave up last time and installed using the mini.iso (netinstall), and adding the Kubuntu desktop task afterwards.
[08:54] <BlackKatMike> However here I am again: booting with a full-featured ISO in a Virtualbox guest seems to get stuck at that point. Some people tell the installer crash (it doesn't for me), some tell that something gets logged in /var/log, in a forum one guy recommended to create an empty partition table with gdisk before launching the installer.
[08:54] <acheronuk> BlackKatMike: VBox default of a 8GB HD is too small. You need to increase that. 12GB may work, though I usually double it to 16GB to make sure.
[08:55] <BlackKatMike> acheronuk: ok hold on, trying that...
[08:56] <acheronuk> BlackKatMike: known bug in installer that it doesn't warn you. fixed in our development release, but needs to be tested more and then ported back to the next Xenial LTS release
[09:05] <BlackKatMike> acheronuk: it works now with a 16GB VDI, indeed. Thank you! IMHO, there should be a warning about this bug in Xenial's release notes at least (or even on the download page). I really had a hard time figuring out what was wrong.
[09:07] <BlackKatMike> I noticed there was an icon on the top of the installer window on the page where it got stuck... something like a red "battery" thing with something on it, can't recall. No tooltip to tell what it was all about. This time, with a bigger disk, it turned out to be a black checkmark.
[09:20] <BlackKatMike> Installation went fine. Thanks again acheronuk, bye!
[09:33] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:53] <user|6584> Hey I just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 but recently read that this may be problematic. However I didn't notice any problems am I fucked?
[12:57] <lordievader> user|6584: Please watch your language. To answer your question, if you didn't notice any problems... you are all good, right?
[12:59] <user|6584> Hey sorry, I dont notice anything yeah but they recommend not to do it. If have several other pc's that need I need to upgrade now. Should I do a fresh install instead or risk it agian?
[12:59] <lordievader> Who does not recommend it?
[12:59] <user|6584> It says on the site
[12:59] <user|6584> WARNING: LTS to LTS upgrade to Xerus is currently problematic and should not be attempted. Please install a fresh copy of 16.04 instead. To prevent messages about upgrading, change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal or Prompt=never in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.
[13:02] <lordievader> Interesting... I guess that a fresh install is then, indeed, the better step.
[13:08] <BluesKaj> user|6584, can you post the url that has that warning?
[13:09] <user|6584> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu
[13:10] <BluesKaj> user|6584, think that's an old issue haven't seen that in ages
[14:09] <b2320x> hey guys, how can i change the information about my current location firefox delivers to websites to my actual currentlocation?
[14:10] <b2320x> i just visited a german website and it switched to the english version, although i am german and sitting in germany right now
[14:10] <hateball> b2320x: a quick google suggests https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/location-guard/
[14:11] <hateball> hmmm, seems that is more for obscuring location rather than presenting one...
[14:11] <hateball> I run chromium so I dont know
[14:12] <b2320x> ok i just found a solution without having to install an addon ;)
[14:13] <hateball> :)
[14:13] <b2320x> go to settings -> content -> preferred languages for displaying websites and just deleted "english"
[14:13] <b2320x> nvm ty all :D
[14:14] <hateball> :)
[15:00] <JuJUBee> Anybody here use a bluetooth mouse they would recommend ?  I tried the Logitech Performance MX and couldn't get it working.
[15:08] <BluesKaj> JuJUBee, believe it or not I'm using a MS 2000 wireless KB and mouse, they've been working perfectly for 5 yrs
[15:19] <JuJUBee> BluesKaj, Do you use the bluetooth dongle that it came with? or the bluetooth on your coputer?
[15:21] <BluesKaj> the usb dongle
[15:27] <BluesKaj> jubo2, the odd part is that bluetooth devices in system settings doesn't recognize the dongle , but it is listed by lsusb in the terminal.
[15:27] <BluesKaj> oops jujubee left
[15:28] <BluesKaj> JuJUBee, the odd part is that bluetooth devices in system settings doesn't recognize the dongle , but it is listed by lsusb in the terminal.
[15:28] <BluesKaj> as bluetooth
[15:30] <JuJUBee> so you do use the dongle though
[15:36] <BluesKaj> yes
[15:37] <BluesKaj> I have no onboard bluetooth on this old pc ;-)
[15:40] <JuJUBee> I have onboard BT and was planning on using it.
[15:43] <Mrokii> Hello. I've tried to compile an app from source and got this error 'Could NOT find XCB (missing: EVENT) (found version "1.11.1")'. Does anybody know if there is something else I have to install to solve this?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> Mrokii, which app?
[15:52] <BluesKaj> Mrokii, xcb is available in the repos
[15:53] <Mrokii> BluesKaj: https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock
[15:53] <Mrokii> BluesKaj: I think I have "resolved" the problem by installing various libxcb...dev-files.
[15:55] <BluesKaj> Mrokii, ok
[15:56] <Mrokii> Not very professional, but I couldn't find any obvious candidate so I tried to install all of them. :)

[21:08] <vantablack> Hi! I need some help. Is this the right place to ask a question?
[21:10] <vantablack> I've been trying to switch from Linux Mint to Kubuntu while creating a new /home partition. Now, my laptop just boots into GRUB and I have no clue what to do next. During the installation I created two ext4 partitions selected one partition (the larger one) as the mount point for "/home" and the smaller one as the mount point for "/" then formatted
[21:10] <vantablack>  both. Now, when I turn my laptop on, it just boots into GRUB. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

[22:03] <vanta_black> Hello
[22:54] <JuJUBee> Just bought new Logitech MX Master mouse.  Was working great using the unified receiver.  Tried unplugging the receiver and connecting via bluetooth and now neither work.
