Ab3Lis there someone who knows well how to proceed to make an upgrade with a fresh install? the harddisk has a partition for / and a separate one for /home (so i can easly format / without to loose data in /home).08:37
Ab3Lthe question I have is how config files will affect the new release and how to know which conf files should have to be removed.08:38

CuSnHi, is wayland the defualt GUI/Windoing system on  Kubuntu 17.0411:31
CuSn*windowing11:31
* CuSn pours coffee into the channel to help it wake up.... 11:32
oerheksCuSn, no11:33
CuSndanke11:33
acheronukas solutions to wayland issues for QT and Nvidia keep getting pushed back, at the moment I would estimate 18.04 LTS as the best bet for an ETA.11:36
acheronukbut who knows what will actually happen!11:37
oerheksif wayalnd works out great in 17.10, perhaps yes11:37
acheronukoerheks: that would require a minor miracle at the moment11:38
oerheksFedora 25 comes with wayland standard, afaik11:39
acheronukon KDE? ouch!11:39
oerheksNo, gnome only iirc https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefault11:40
BluesKajnope  fedora 25 uses gnome 2 I think11:40
acheronukoerheks: KDE/plasma has additional issues which prevent a switch by default for us11:41
acheronukyet anyway11:41
BluesKaji tried fedora 25 ...it was very smooth and silky ...too bad it's gnome11:41
BluesKajyeah and nvidia isn't ready for wayland yet11:42
suiciim going to try a kde wayland session11:42
suiciBRB11:42
acheronuksupport/fixes in Qt have been pushed back to QT 5.10 AFAIK, which is not likely until 18.0411:44
acheronukwayland works on some hardware/driver in a fairly acceptable fashion, but rather the exception than the rule so far11:45
acheronukI don't see me setting it default for 17.10!11:45

tiwakeacheronuk: screw nvidia... they knew wayland was being developed, then two years later, they drop a massive code push to wayland that would break everything just so their drivers would work with it14:11

tiwakeI don't know14:35
tiwakethe second pastebin linked is the identical command I use to map the drawing tablet to the middle screen when I had kubuntu 16.04 installed14:36
R13oseIs there anything software wise that could be limiting my wifi signal?14:49
oerheks R13ose never heard of that, only other wireless devices with a stronger signal can do that, or elevator-motors / TL tubes, fridges and other bad grounded/shielded machines14:54
R13oseNothing I can do?14:55
oerheksR13ose, not that i know of14:56
R13oseNuts, then my computer is dying14:58
BluesKajR13ose,  do you use a router and do you know how to access it's firmware?15:17
R13oseIsp router I believe and maybe but unsure if I can update without new router.15:17
BluesKajR13ose,  it may jsut be a case of too many users in your area using the same default wifi channel, usually ch 6 in North America15:19
R13oseBut other devices can work from here15:20
BluesKajfor example ?15:20
R13oseLaptops and cell phones15:22
BluesKajand it's saturday, a heavy traffic day on the internet15:22
R13oseBluesKaj: this is not one odd day15:24
BluesKajhow long have you had this issue?15:25
R13oseAwhile15:26
BluesKajiss this a wifi dongle or pci card on a desktop pc ?15:27
R13oseLaptop15:28
BluesKajperhaps rearranging the router's antennae if it has any or moving it around just few inches can somewtimes make a big difference in broadcast and reception15:31
R13oseYes but maybe laptop is broken15:35
BluesKajI doubt it , probly just a simple wifi problem, but it sounds to me like you can't be bothered to try anything, so I'm done here15:36
R13oseBluesKaj: I tried everything you said so hard16:20
ahusseinAll, the java not init when access to my oracle account , any advice pls .16:24
BluesKajR13ose,  is your router one of those Bell 2Wire 2701HG-G routers?17:03
BluesKajR13ose,  if it is check this out  http://support.bell.ca/Internet/Connection-help/2Wire-2701-modem.how_to_change_existing_wireless_settings_on_my17:06
R13oseBluesKaj: mine is black and says bell 200017:21
R13oseBluesKaj: I actually have to get going17:21
BluesKajR13ose,  do a google search for that router, you'll probly access the firmware and settings by typing a gateway IP address into a browser to into it's pages and settings anyway ...it's really quite simple17:24
musalbasIs it just me or do windows disappear when I move them to the other monitor? Fresh install, can't find any bug reports for it17:28
R13oseBluesKaj: thanks for all the help17:29
IrcsomeBot1Trebacz was added by: Trebacz17:36
IrcsomeBot1<Trebacz> I accidently (okay drinking) put my laptop on 17.10 Kubuntu development (instead of 17.04). I'm okay with ocassional challenges, so I've been running on it for a few weeks (all good). Packages are updated daily. Is there anything I should watch out for and avoid? Is there a way I can monitor the expected effects of package updates? Can I provide feedback if I run into an issue -or am I on my own?17:45
dbromAnyone in today... Tring to install a usb wireless card and not have any luck doing so17:46
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> @Trebacz, Most updates *should* be ok, but there may be times when sets of packages in the archive may be incomplete in the -release pocket while autopackage (QA) tests lag and take a long time to migrate from -proposed17:48
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> #kubuntu-devel channel on freenode IRC is main place for development chat and feedback17:49
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> but feedback is welcome. I run 17.10 on this machine17:51
IrcsomeBot1<Trebacz> Awesome Ric. I just ran into one issue with php7, but *solved* it by moving onto php 7.1. We'll see how it goes!17:53
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> The development release is intended to be mostly stable, but it is a WIP with normally some 'transitions' happening in package versions or features. Especially at this point in the cycle when we are not in any 'freeze' of features or versions and new stuff is incoming.17:59
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> On our side, hoping for plasma 5.10 and applications 17.04 soon. :)18:00
IrcsomeBot1<Trebacz> Cool thanks. For a llitle bit I thought I might be out on a branch with three developers.... :) I know that's not the case, but wanted to be a little more plugged in with what was going on in the OS. Thank you again...18:02
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> lol. well there's always a little bit of 'stting on a branch, hoping it's not going to break', but just being sensibe about what updates you apply and askinbg for help if in doubt should moslty mitigate that18:06
