[00:35] <deeno> I was looking for software, and I had an idea to a buy a PDF editor, but it was mac OS X based. Can I get it to run on linux.
[00:35] <deeno> Can I get it to run on Linux?
[00:48] <genii> No
[00:51] <genii> deeno: Just open the pdf you want to edit with LibreOffice Draw
[00:52] <deeno> well I am interested in using and abusing mac software, but I guess there is no way to emulate the mac on Linux.
[00:52] <genii> Then choose use the "export to PDF"
[00:53] <deeno> Can I open a PDF with LO Draw?
[00:53] <genii> You can emulate earlier ones with apps like basilisk2 but then those were 68k machines. And then the lates MacOS they would run would be 7.5.3  or so
[00:53] <genii> deeno: Yes. LibreOffice Draw
[00:55] <deeno> I guess you can. I wonder if I should try it in Win10
[01:00] <tertu> what's a good wireless chipset to look for in a usb dongle?
[01:00] <deeno> I don't know. check newegg
[01:02] <genii> tertu: Atheros/Qualcomm
[01:03] <genii> ( assuming a WiFi dongle )
[01:08] <schnoodles> Hey guys. Today when I turned on my machine MySQL has decided to not work. journalctl shows this -- https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/74513cbd9f9180f6f098d9fefc91d872
[01:31] <tertu> genii: yes. the dongle i bought has an Atheros AR9271 in it
[01:46] <deeno> How do I disable touch pad in Plasma permanently everlasting
[02:03] <schnoodles> If I removed akonadi-backend-mysql will that be very very bad? I have a bad dependency issue and cant seem to resolve it.
[02:03] <valorie> schnoodles: do you use the PIM stack?
[02:03] <valorie> kmail, etc?
[02:04] <schnoodles> No I do not.
[02:04] <valorie> then it won't be a problem
[02:05] <schnoodles> I am attempting to reinstall first to hope that it works. Seems like I have a pkg unmet dependency bug and I cant reinstall anything because it wants me to do apt install -f which also throws an error....
[02:09] <valorie> apt install -f is always the best idea
[02:09] <valorie> what error does that throw?
[02:09] <valorie> -f = fix
[02:22] <schnoodles> I just seem to be getting some crazy database errors. Now I am trying to upgrade to Maria because MySQL was playing up.
[02:33] <potved> Hi anyone awake available to assist me to understanding why i ended up with two lock screens after suspend/resume (one being gnome's and the other kde) -- backstory: I install gnome-desktop and didnt like it and removed it.. i guess i missed the lockscreen part of it. How can i deactivate it and remove it?
[03:00] <deeno> How do I get to adminstration mode?
[03:02] <deeno> How do I get to the administrative metal of Linux?
[03:02] <deeno> How do I get to adminstrative metal of linux?
[03:04] <valorie> deeno: what?
[03:04] <valorie> are you asking about sudo?
[03:05] <valorie> !sudo
[03:06] <deeno> no I am asking for no X window mode
[03:06] <deeno> no I am asking for non X window mode
[03:06] <Oderus> just start in recovery mode
[03:07] <deeno> I don't have GRUB
[03:07] <deeno> How do I do it without Grub? eh
[03:07] <Oderus> press escape multiple times when booting, this should bring you to grub
[03:08] <deeno> And if it is not installed. this isn't a multiOS machine
[03:08] <Oderus> or you could always install grub
[03:08] <valorie> I don't see how recovery mode can be called "administrative" mode
[03:09] <valorie> you can do little in recovery mode
[03:09] <Oderus> the person wants to be in ubuntu with no X from what I understand
[03:10] <valorie> um
[03:10] <krytarik> deeno: See http://askubuntu.com/a/79682
[03:10] <deeno> I am having troubles. I don't like using my password to install and alter security flags.
[03:11] <valorie> perhaps instead of installing Kubuntu, then install Ubuntu Server ?
[03:11] <valorie> or netboot, so you can get exactly what you want
[03:11] <valorie> !netboot
[03:18] <deeno> I wanted to defrag my SSD
[03:19] <deeno> solid state drive
[03:19] <Oderus> does it have an ext4 filesystem?
[03:21] <valorie> defragging isn't really a thing in linux
[03:21] <Oderus> can be done on an ext4 tho... with e4defrag
[03:22] <deeno> Yah, newest Kubuntu
[03:24] <valorie> what's the point?
[03:24] <deeno> started it, what next?
[03:25] <Oderus> good question valorie. it's almost pointless on a regular drive i don't see the sense on an SSD either :)
[03:25] <valorie> it was sort of fun in windows to watch it run
[03:25] <valorie> but I don't miss that at all in linux
[03:26] <valorie> that's like missing McAfee or so
[03:26] <Oderus> its much faster in linux and done by command line so no colored boxes to watch
[03:26] <Oderus> missing AOL!
[03:26] <deeno> I have had enough. Can I buy a Mac OS X emulator? or should I skip the idea
[03:27] <valorie> ha
[03:27] <valorie> I did use compuserve, never really AOL
[03:28] <Oderus> deeno: you wanted to know about booting into a non X environment but you need a mac os x emulator? I don't understand what it is your trying to do
[03:31] <Oderus> i suspect a large amount of alchohol may be involved >.>
[03:32] <Oderus> and on that note, good night!
[03:32] <deeno> Oderus: several things :)
[03:33] <deeno> I wouldn't mind destroying a Mac OS X system ;)
[03:33] <deeno> I am not saying the mac os x is user friendly
[03:33] <valorie> deeno: you might prefer to run BSD then?
[03:35] <deeno> BSD has Mac emulaton ??
[03:38] <valorie> Mac is running BSD
[03:39] <deeno> and it is proprietary
[03:40] <deeno> perhaps not as much as windows10 but I am not impressed. Look at me, I am cheap just like Apple has always been.
[03:43] <valorie> in any case, this doesn't involve Kubuntu
[03:43] <valorie> you are welcome to continue in #kubuntu-offtopic
[03:43]  * valorie goes back to reading student GSoC proposals
[05:38] <wendigo> where are programs located
[05:38] <wendigo> trying to find deluge program
[05:42] <valorie> wendigo: have you tried searching in muon?
[05:43] <valorie> if you prefer the commandline, it is: apt-cache search deluge
[05:43] <valorie> looks like it is in the archive
[06:40] <lordievader> Good morning
[11:06] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[16:41] <BluesKaj> pavlushka check your internet connection
[17:10] <Guest90149> hello, I have upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 and sddm does not boot properly. It boots to a black screen. I can go to vt1 and start sddm and get a working kde session. I had to create a new user because I couldn't login with the old one. Any ideas how to fix this?
[17:19] <reggie_> hello folk need a little help instaling vmware
[17:19] <reggie_> it's installed however when I try to execute app it gives me an error
[17:20] <reggie_> GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 6.2.0 was not found
[17:20] <reggie_> I do have GCC 6 installed
[17:20] <reggie_> not sure why it can't find it though
[17:54] <ross_> hey guys, newly installed. Does anyone know how to force the machien to use a specific DNS server rather than fetching it from the router?
[17:57] <ross_> hey guys, newly installed. Does anyone know how to force the machien to use a specific DNS server rather than fetching it from the router?
[18:05] <BluesKaj> ross_, you can add dns nameserver Ips to /etc/network/interfaces or most routers allow you to change dns in their firmware page
[18:05] <ross_> thanks will give it a try
[18:07] <ross_> cant just edit resolv.conf?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> ross_, network manager will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf afaik
[18:24] <jubo2> When is 17.04 due out?
[18:24] <jubo2> and is is locked yet?
[18:25] <jubo2> actually I got weird problems on this machine running 16.10 .. looks like HW problem but HW has been changed once
[18:25] <jubo2> My only working theory is that the machine used to burn the .iso image was somehow rootkitted
[18:29] <BluesKaj> jubo2, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/11/release-date-ubuntu-17-04-zesty-zapus
[18:30] <jubo2> April 13
[18:30] <jubo2> Cheers BluesKaj
[18:31] <acheronuk> Final Freeze is Thursday, if that is what you mean by 'locked'
[18:31] <acheronuk> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseSchedule
[18:32] <jubo2> acheronuk: yeah sorry my bad about the bad terminology
