[11:30] That sounds like you can hunt down what causes it.... [11:52] Hiyas all === fydel_ is now known as fydel [12:00] hi === kubuntu is now known as Guest84236 [12:02] Hi [12:02] I am in the live cd [12:02] I like what I see [12:03] will this work with my RX580 gpu? [12:05] yes === himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf [12:09] Guest84236: If it works in a livecd it works in a real install. [12:09] lordievader[m]: yeah, it works right now, [12:10] but I want to install the proprietary driver [12:10] from AMD [12:10] Ah, that is hard to tell if things work then. [12:10] Do you really need it? [12:10] yeah, planning to do crypto mining with it [12:10] like I do in windows [12:11] can't even get there though, installer is failing [12:11] Errnoo 5 Input/output error [12:11] Setup a dual boot I'd say and find out if it works ;) [12:11] which kubuntu version Guest84236? [12:11] 16.04 LTS [12:12] BluesKaj: because that's the only one officially supported by AMD (Ubuntu 16.04) [12:12] but yeah, can't even install at this point due to the I/O error... [12:16] * BluesKaj wondwrs if the ubiquity bug is ausing the the problem ...it's supposedly patched , but aI've seen too many problems like this recently [12:16] causing [12:16] hi [12:17] right, it's being a bit of a shit lol [12:18] I've just used 'gparted' to erase the entire SSD as suggested on serverfault [12:18] now I'll reboot, and try again [12:18] has to work now, one way or another [12:23] I'm back, that didn't work [12:23] same i/o problem [12:23] I'll have to go with plain Ubuntu I guess :( [12:23] kubuntu_: any reason you're going with 16.04 and not 17.04? [12:23] yeah hateball, [12:23] AMD support [12:24] kubuntu_: I saw the need for proprietary stuff, isnt amdgpu-pro a thing? [12:24] they have a download for each Windows, and Ubuntu 16.04 [12:24] yeah, amdgpu-pro is what I downloaded from AMD [12:24] but it's for 16.04 [12:24] http://support.amd.com/en-us/download [12:24] kubuntu_: so it's for OpenCL ? [12:25] doesnt the opensource amdgpu support that? [12:25] well it's for zcash mining [12:25] been doing it on a windows 8 trial [12:25] which is expiring [12:26] figured I'd go with Ubuntu, but I hate the UI, so I tried Kubuntu, which I like [12:26] but since the installer is broken, I have to go with the former :( [12:26] kubuntu_: first hit on google about it suggests it works with opensource drivers [12:26] no way! [12:26] https://forum.z.cash/t/state-of-amd-gpu-mining-on-linux/4255 [12:28] Hello, I am running Kubuntu 16.04 (and it is awesome), but for some reason my wifi passphrases do not save through reboot. [12:28] I have to re-enter them each time I log in. [12:29] kubuntu_: but I neither mine with opencl, nor use AMD, so I cant say [12:29] kubuntu_: at any rate, 17.04 is a nicer plasma experience, and the opensource amdgpu is what is being developed for mostly afaik [12:30] kubuntu_: google suggests https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11417 [12:31] meaning you just pull out the opencl bits from the amdgpu-pro package [12:31] ryanpcmcquen, set network manager wifi security choose the "store password for all users" option, that should solve the problem [12:31] ryanpcmcquen: do other passwords save correctly to your wallet? [12:33] BluesKaj: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/y3fx9KHL/Screenshot_20170601_053238.png [12:33] BluesKaj, I do not see that option. [12:34] hateball: I disabled kwallet (which is probably the issue, but I would like to keep it disabled if at all possible). [12:54] ryanpcmcquen, this mine, on 17.04 https://imagebin.ca/v/3OTbmAvXkJ7O unless your theme doesn't show all options [12:55] BluesKaj, hmmm ... I am on the default theme, let me try switching. [12:57] BluesKaj, switched to the Oxygen theme, didn't make a difference. Let me try re-enabling kwallet. [12:57] I'm old school i still use oxygen [12:57] ryanpcmcquen, I have kwallet disabled [12:58] ryanpcmcquen: you need kwallet for user-level passwords. if you do systemwide like BluesKaj suggests, it saves in /etc [12:58] ryanpcmcquen, try entering youpswd in the field , maybe your options will change [12:58] hateball, thank you! [12:58] your pwd [12:59] BluesKaj, thanks, it does not bring up any new options though. Maybe I should switch to 17.04 ... [12:59] now if you're on a enterprise network, with user-based auth you probably dont want to save your credentials systemwide [12:59] but use cases vary, obviously [13:00] I'm a home user so that's was my solution , i know it's probly not the best but it works here [13:02] BluesKaj, I noticed that you are accessing the connections from 'System Settings'. I can only get to mine by right clicking Network Manager. Our screens are quite different. [13:04] BluesKaj & hateball, I figured it out! [13:04] The default starting width of the connections screen hides the save button (which is awesome). [13:04] I accessed from network manager ryanpcmcquen, i clicked on the wrebch/spanner on the top right [13:05] wrench === hook is now known as silver_hook [13:08] Before expanding. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/AX4RTHS1/Screenshot_20170601_060520.png [13:08] After expanding. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/IXlA2i9y/Screenshot_20170601_060714.png [13:08] Seems strange that the default width would hide a functional button. [13:11] ryanpcmcquen, definiely a bug there [13:11] BluesKaj and hateball, thanks for the help! [13:11] I think I will report it to the KDE devs. [13:12] ryanpcmcquen, good :-) [13:15] BluesKaj, do you think 17.04 is worth switching to? [13:21] ryanpcmcquen, are you a home user or are you on a workplace machine? [13:22] BluesKaj, home user. [13:23] then 17.04 would be a good option, are you on 16.10? [13:24] BluesKaj, currently on 16.04.2. [13:24] Bug report! https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380427 [13:24] KDE bug 380427 in editor "Save password option is somewhat hidden in Wi-Fi Security screen." [Normal,Unconfirmed] [13:26] ryanpcmcquen, separate / and /home partitions? [13:27] otherwise a clean install from live media is the best method , after backing up your data [13:27] BluesKaj, I don't mind reinstalls. I've distro-hopped so much that all my configuration stuff is scripted. [13:27] I don't even bother with backups. [13:28] https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/linuxTweaks/blob/master/ubuntu/.ubuntu_LTS_Setup.sh [13:28] https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/linuxTweaks/blob/master/.kdeSetup.sh [13:32] ryanpcmcquen: Plasma is much more polished in 17.04 [13:32] you can use backports to go to 5.8 in 16.04, but it wont get past that [13:32] and really.. you want to :p [13:32] * hateball weeps every other day when panels goes missing in his 16.04 setup [13:33] I just use separate / and /home partitions , then when upgrading to a new release I just install to / and set the mountpoint on /home without formatting ...it works well, then all my configs are ready including desktop/activities themes etc on the new install. Have to use manual partitioning in ubiquity , but that's straightforward. ryanpcmcquen [13:49] hateball, haha. [13:50] BluesKaj, that seems to be a popular scheme, just downloaded 17.04, `cat`-ing to a thumb drive now. [13:50] hateball, get off 16..04 it's still buggy [14:06] BluesKaj: I should, I just prefer LTS at work for various reasons [14:13] hello, am trying to find a way of deleting glue records via dns update. is that possible? === junlin is now known as jz === jz is now known as Guest94369 === robban is now known as codepeak [15:40] Is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between a builtin display and an external monitor?

[17:42] Kubuntu decided to stop accepting my password [17:42] which I used for the better part of the day with no problems [17:42] This HW is rot by IME or something like that [17:42] or more like that HW [17:43] Where are the instructions on how to break in with a booting Kubuntu stick? [17:44] this is obscene amount of annoying behaviour [17:45] it all began when the Win 10 that system shipped with ate my WiFi shared secret like 15 times before .. surprise! it accepts the shared secret as being correct [17:45] I need some healthy HW [17:45] the machine is rotten [17:50] this is swearwording incredible [17:51] oh hold on.. my bad [17:52] the external drive is connected and has higher boot priority [17:52] so as a matter of fact I am entering the password of the new system into the old system === git is now known as kashyapyan [20:21] Hello [20:33] Can you help me? [20:34] More details are required first [20:36] Ok [20:36] So [20:36] I Installed Kubuntu on my 2007 iMac [20:36] But the Internet won't work [20:37] I deleted all the Connections [20:37] So what do I do? [20:38] Are you there? [20:39] Can someone Help me? [20:40] LuckyTheTester2: I'm not familiar with Kubuntu on iMac, someone else will have to respond :) [20:40] Ok [20:40] Well mines from 2007 [20:40] Is it an Intel or PPC [20:41] inte [20:41] Intel [20:41] Intel core 2 Duo to be more Exact.

I use german language on ubuntu(xfce). but only okular is english. dolphin, kdenlive, gwenview all is correct in german. Only okular not. so what can I do? [20:43] Wait [20:44] Let me Enter The Command [20:44] BRB [20:45] imac 7'1 [20:45] imac7,1 [20:46] Are you there? [20:46] Hello? [20:47] genii? [20:47] its imac7,1 [20:47] LuckyTheTester2: Yes. I'm here, but also at work so I can't always respond immediately [20:47] On what? [20:48] On being a building caretaker [20:48] Ok [20:48] So [20:48] Its imac,71 [20:48] iMac7,1 [20:48] Yeah [20:48] LuckyTheTester2: I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Trusty but it only mentions the wifi and not wired connection [20:48] yeah [20:49] I need Wi-Fi [20:49] Wait [20:49] Its an iMac7,1 === garrett is now known as Guest8348 [20:51] I'm running Kubuntu [20:51] But that Didn't Work. [20:54] dreamon: What version? I asked around in the dev channel if there was some issue with it's german translation [20:55] Uh [20:55] 17.04 [20:55] Kubuntu [20:55] LuckyTheTester2: Not you, another user [20:55] Oh [20:55] genii, on a other notebook it is in german. I dont know why it is here a issue. [20:56] both pc have same okular version. [20:56] dreamon: That's more like commentary instead of an answer to the question :) [20:57] genii, Version 0.24.2 [20:57] dreamon: OK, relayed to the dev who was asking [20:57] Bye [20:57] I mean the KDE Apps version [20:58] thanks clivejo [20:58] Hey [20:59] LuckyTheTester2: If you idle a while there may be someone who can tackle your issue. Right now it doesn't look like there's anyone in that knows a solution. [20:59] Ok [21:03] genii, "Ubuntu ships the old KDE4 version of okular. So you need to use systemsettings4 (ask in an Ubuntu channel how to launch it) to change the KDE4 language settings. KDE4 applications do not respect the LANG or LC_MESSAGE variables; changing them with systemsettings5 won't affect okular4. [21:06] you are running Xenial? [21:06] clivejo, yes 16.04 [21:21] Hey! [21:21] hi there. need some help? [21:23] Yeah! [21:24] what version are you on and what exactly is your issue? [21:24] So my iMac or the iMac7,1 Internet Drivers Don' work. [21:24] Don't [21:24] this is wifi or ethernet? [21:24] Wifi [21:24] Though [21:25] I'm Trying to Connect [21:25] With my Laptop [21:25] Share my Connection. [21:25] are you able to even scan for access points? [21:25] No [21:25] yeah i suspect i know what your problem is [21:25] Yes [21:25] if it is what i think it is, it's a common problem [21:26] that being a hardware manufacturer that doesn't always play nic ewith linux and/or free software [21:26] Oh! [21:26] but there are solutions [21:26] Ok [21:26] so what i need is a little information from your system to get us there [21:26] i'll give you a terminal command and you can post the output in a pastebin [21:26] and then provide the link here [21:26] It's an iMac7,1 [21:27] if you want, there's a package you could install called "pastebinit" that you could just pipe the command to and it will return the URL [21:27] I'm on Windows 10 [21:27] Ok [21:27] ah right [21:27] duh [21:27] it has no internet [21:27] hahahah [21:27] ok hold on a second [21:27] Ok [21:27] Let me Try to plug in an Ethernet Cable through the wall since now I have onee [21:28] ethernet should be on a different chip. i'd expect it to work well [21:28] But that won't fix the Wi-Fu [21:28] FI [21:28] right [21:28] we'll get there :) [21:28] Ok [21:28] I'm going to do it [21:28] the command we're going to use is called `lspci` and will list all of your pci devices [21:28] Please Wait [21:28] Ok [21:29] if you add the `nnk` switches it will give you a little extra output including information on the kernel modules (which is like the linux version of device drivers) [21:29] Ok [21:30] it includes a lot of info [21:30] so we can trim it down with a command called `grep` [21:30] we'll ask it to search for "network" and then grab that line and the 3 after it [21:31] putting this altogether, along with the pastebinit command gives us the following: [21:31] I'm Connected [21:31] lspci -nnk | grep -A 4 -i network | pastebinit [21:31] that should return a URL which you can paste here [21:31] it should look something like: [21:31] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24741277/ [21:31] Wait [21:31] Could you please wait [21:31] sorry, i type fast :) [21:32] * genii makes wxl's next coffee a decaf [21:32] icedtea :) [21:32] :D [21:33] HEy [21:33] Hey [21:33] hey again [21:33] This is Lucky [21:33] LuckyTheTester2 [21:33] On my iMAc [21:33] yay [21:33] need that command again?

[21:34] lspci -nnk | grep -A 3 -i network | pastebinit [21:34] Yes, we get the idea :) [21:34] that's what you want to type in terminal [21:34] or konsole as the kde app is called [21:34] I need to Install it [21:35] pastebinit [21:35] Yes [21:35] you can install in terminal with `sudo apt install pastebinit` [21:35] sudo apt update && sudo apt install pastebinit [21:35] or you can use the package management app [21:35] (yes it's good to update first) [21:35] OK [21:35] Well [21:36] I'm going to eat while i wait [21:36] no problem though it should take <30s [21:36] Now done [21:36] Now done again [21:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24741309/ [21:36] LInk [21:37] BRB [21:37] good job :) [21:37] ping me whne you're back [21:37] back [21:38] that was fast [21:38] Yeah [21:38] so you have a broadcom chip [21:38] I'm running back and Forth [21:38] Yes [21:38] it's a common problem [21:38] Hmm [21:38] there's some information on the subject: [21:38] !b43 [21:38] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [21:38] Thanks!
