Taggnostrmy kubuntu 17.04 already froze twice this evening -- cursor won't move, ctrl+alt+F1 won't work, num lock led not responsive, audio of the last second playing in loop -- and I have to hard reset it by pressing the power button.  Is there anything I can do to debug the problem (either now or during the freeze)?00:27

tiyteezeHey guys, I am currently running kubuntu 16.04. Is there a way to get the global menu ? (I've seen it in Manjaro but was not able to get it in Kubuntu)08:20
hateballisnt that in plasma 5.9, which afaik isnt backported to 16.04 yet08:22
* hateball pokes acheronuk for confirmation08:22
acheronukcorrect. we are staying on plasma 5.8 LTS for 16.04 LTS backports08:23
hateballtiyteeze: ^08:24
tiyteezehateball: Ok. I was not aware of that. I thought it was plasma 5.9. Thanks08:25
kustodianI was trying to install Kubuntu besides an already installed windows (I left a lot of free space on the drive) but with encrypted LVM09:14
kustodianto do that I had to do a custom partition setup, so I created an EFI partitions, then a boot one and then selected the LVM for encryption (or however it's called)09:15
kustodianthe problem is that LVM for encryption creates an encrypted LVM and one partition in it which I can only choose to be root and ext4, I cannot create swap on the encrypted LVM09:16
kustodianis that a limitation of the installer, or I'm doing something wrong09:16
hateballHmmm09:17
hateballkustodian: You may have to be patient for an answer to that one I guess09:17
kustodianhateball: because only a few people might have an answer to that question?09:18
hateballkustodian: Yea :)09:18
kustodianyesterday my colleague installed ubuntu and as far as I can see it's the exact same limitation09:18
hateballI personally neither dualboot or use EFI in any of my setups09:18
kustodianso we just installed the system without swap :D09:19
hateballWell, who even uses swap :p09:19
hateballI think the 17.04 installer (at least Ubuntu) uses a swap file rather than swap partition now09:19
kustodianThe laptop has a lot of RAM, so it probably will never be needed, and you can always install swap as a file on the file system09:19
kustodianit was 16.0409:19
kustodianhe wanted LTS09:20
kustodianaha09:20
hateballI guess if you want encrypted swap... dunno how you solve that with a file09:20
kustodianso 17.04 uses a file for swap anyway09:20
hateballYea09:20
hateballkustodian: http://blog.surgut.co.uk/2016/12/swapfiles-by-default-in-ubuntu.html09:20
kustodianwell I installed the latest kubuntu with default encryption setup and swap is a partitons on crypt09:20
hateballAlright09:22
kustodianso on LVM it will still use a logical volume09:22
hateballSo it seems09:22
hateballI havent done a clean install in forever, and I use a very simple setup so I cant offer much help I'm afraid :{09:22
hateballdont even use LVM on my workstation :p09:23
kustodianon LVM they are using logical volumes because LV snapshots cannot exclude swap, but I don't care about snapshots on a desktop :D09:23
kustodianhateball: well I need encryption because of work09:23
hateballkustodian: Sure, I understand that09:24
hateballwhich is why I said, at this idle hour, you may need to wait for someone that knows more about that type of setup :)09:24
kustodianI'll probably install it like that, then resize root partitons and create swap in it :)09:24
kustodianI'll wait, no hurry09:24
kustodianthx09:24

hateballdeeno: fwiw, I think mgraesslin and the other plasma folk dev primarily against wayland these days14:58
hateballwhich would explain that it actually works pretty good14:59
deenomore like for rather than against. I wish reithen was still an english word.14:59
deenoI hate Konqueror. Give a me a good reason not remove it.15:00

deenothough firefox sux in microsoft form, it is miles better than linux knockoff browser. admitedly brave, vivaldi, are worthy, but chrome sux except in windows, and I don't like chrome.15:04
deenochrome will crash your linux kernel for u, and thy session.15:04

starcraftmanHello, I've got a serious HDD issue that was the result of error during partitioning. When I connect the drive, I get the following: https://imgur.com/a/DxU5X17:47
starcraftmanThe kernel seems to freeze immediately after connection. Is there something I can do?17:47
lordievaderstarcraftman: There is no possibility of zeroing the first 2048 sectors?18:06
starcraftmanWell I would do that but the system locks up on connect... can I somehow prevent the kernel from probing it?18:09
starcraftmanThere isn't any important data so wiping it is fine.18:09
lordievaderHmm, yeah that is troublesome. What happens when you boot the machine with the drive attached?18:10
Walexstarcraftman: ah interesting. You just need to attach the drive in a way that says "don't read the partition table".18:11
Walexstarcraftman: I am trying to remember how to do that...18:12
Walexstarcraftman: which is called a "label" in Linux18:13
starcraftmanWalex: That sounds like the right thing, if you've instructions I'll try it.18:14
Walexstarcraftman: I am looking, it is likely a kernel boot param...18:16
Walexstarcraftman: indeed, it is "ignore_partitions=sda"18:17
=== hook is now known as silver_hook
starcraftmanawesome, I'll go try that.18:17
starcraftmanWalex: thanks18:17
Walexstarcraftman: oopsd18:17
Walexstarcraftman: not sure it made into the kernel, checking18:18
starcraftmanoh ok18:18
Walexstarcraftman: this might work: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/block/cmdline-partition.txt18:22
starcraftmanWalex: So like: blkdevparts=sda:1m[@0](wipe)18:27
Walexstarcraftman: something like that...18:27
Walexstarcraftman: seems good to me18:27
Walexthere was a specific thing to avoid reading the partition table, but I can't remember it18:28
WalexI had that figured out because someone had put a filesystem on an unpartitined disk, and this caused a lot of kernel warning messages at boot, but I have forgotten.18:29
Walexstarcraftman: did that work?18:50
starcraftmanWalex: Well used a live cd and the bad disk, after editing boot opts and going with livecd it got to the litle loading dots. Now screen gone blank.18:56
starcraftmantrying again19:01

deenoWhat are the problems with MonoDevelop?22:35
Y2K?22:35
Y2Khave you done any reaserch on ur own?22:35
deenoIt has bugs and wil not force the user to use the program in a bug free way. Give it an exception, and it decides to crash itself. Perhaps I should use it in a windows enviroment more. But I hate cygwin.22:37
Y2Kthat doesnt answer my question22:38
deenoI try to create a solution and a project together and it crashes everytime for every attempt. It doesn't how you need source files first. This is very annoying. It could just ignore me, instead of crashing. It isn't canonical fault that they didn't know the program was glitchy.22:39

gogo_ubuntuGuys I need help urgently! I installed kde-neon and now windows 10 is not shown in boot options...PLZ22:40
Y2Kare you just here to talk to yourself?22:40
Y2Kgogo_ubuntu: try installing and running boot repair?22:41
deenogogo: do you have your windows 10 key, and the ability to look at your NTFS partition.22:41
gogo_ubuntuKey...Nope...NTFS partition yes22:41
gogo_ubuntuI installed it on an EXT4 partition so I know I didnt mess with the windows partition22:41
deenogogo: if you have a laptop, you don't need to worry as much about the key.22:42
Y2Kif its windows 10 you dont need to worry about the key at all22:42
Y2Klook up boot repair in the software center22:43
deenoI wonder if boot repair requires special knowledge. Anyway, retreive your file with Linux at the very least. You may need to start over.22:43
deenoY2K: Not true at all. If your previous copy was windows 7, and you have a tower; you will be screwed.22:44
Y2Kuh no.   if you have already installed win10 EVER, it will register its self.  you dont even need to know your key22:46
gogo_ubuntu^^ that22:46
deenoThere are cheap Mecos which are excess OEM keys. You try buying an install drive. It does seem to work, but you may need to call microsoft. I hope nobody cares that I like Microsoft and Linux.22:46
gogo_ubuntudunno why key is relevant though since I cant even boot into it22:46

Y2K#kubuntu ?22:47
deenogogo: you can boot into a DVD drive or USB drive. Not a problem, but you need to show ownership.22:48
Y2Kjust drop it. you dont know what you are talking about and its not relevant to #kubuntu22:48
deenoY2K: Yes, Kubuntu is awesome in plasma wayland.22:48
deenoA microsoft key means your copy of MS windows. Otherwise you should get an SSD and use Linux.22:50
