boospyIs there a way to start phonecalls directly over kdeconnect? With SMS from Kontact this works really fine: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=140685#p37803914:48
chamarHi folks, is there a way to make the Libre Office (especially the menu) a bit.. hum.. better looking? (ie: they are real ugly)17:19
lubuntunext sudo apt-get browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash17:24
lubuntunextthis finished but still no flash in chromium17:24
mparillochamar: Is your problem with the menus or the icons? I used to have this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/162559517:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1625595 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Libre Office Writer Icons unreadability on YY and ZZ with Intel Drivers" [Low,Fix released]17:26
chamarmparillo: the menu mostly... let me check that link17:27
chamark.. not the same "issue" .. it's not unreadable.. but ugly and out of place compares to everything QT.. of course..17:27
mparilloYou could try getting used to Calligra.17:28
chamarhttp://imgur.com/a/LbT7q17:33
chamarit's not *that* ugly.. I'm picky I guess :/17:33
mparilloI was happy when it got that ugly. ;-)17:35
chamaryeah... I'm real picky on those little details17:36
[Relic]Are there any problems with installing 17.04 as a bios rather than efi boot?17:59
BluesKaj[Relic],  none whatsoever18:09
BluesKajas long you're not dual boting with Windows on GPT/UEFI18:10
[Relic]BluesKaj, nah, no windows just wanted to test 17.04, but 14.04 was installed in bios originally, and didn't want efi to screw up that18:24
BluesKaj[Relic],  then you shouild be good to go18:27
[Relic]just have to figure out how to break up the drive without causing problems18:29
BluesKajuse gparted for partitioning first of all, then use manual partitioning during the install. That way the install will much easier18:32
BluesKajwill go18:32
chamar... and backup first. ;)18:32
[Relic]so gpart to section the HD before install18:33
BluesKajto me it makes for a quicker and less troublesome install18:34
[Relic]still no idea on why every attempt on 14.04 failed to create a workable iso to usb18:38
Ab3L[Relic]: I had problems with usb because I tried to format the usb key as ext* partition. I had to format it as fat32 (I don't know whether it's the same problem you have now, but it may help)18:47
[Relic]didn't like fat32 (b or c) didn't work for start up disk, unetbootin or dd18:48
BluesKajdd should work18:53
[Relic]it doesn't18:53
[Relic]and I tried multiple ways of doing it on multiple usb sticks18:54
[Relic]off to see if I can get 17.04 installed :)18:57
chamargood luck.18:58
BluesKajuodd, dd always worked fine here, used it lots19:03
BluesKajI'll bet he's forgetting to unmount the stick when copies with dd19:11
[Relic]resizing seems successful19:33
BluesKaj[Relic], make sure  to unmount the stick when copying with dd, if you decide to try it agian19:37
[Relic]did that a few times19:37
BluesKajbeen successful here several times with dd19:38
BluesKaj[Relic],   https://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal19:39
[Relic]been there, done that, completely failed19:42
BluesKaj[Relic],  i haste to say this then your command is incorrect or your usb stick is defective19:44
[Relic]considering I used the same usb stick and it works perfect when I used rufus from vista that isn't possible19:45
* BluesKaj shrugs :P19:47
[Relic]I think it is the missing iso pack something like iso9960 that it couldn't find on the few times that came up so it wasn't using the proper boot info to set it up19:51
karl_Saludos21:01
cm_have a problem with kde-related broken packages21:42
cm_need to get rid of 'em so synaptic & updater works again...any ideas?21:43
cm_k, it's been awhile since I was last here...is anyone here, or just parked?21:45
Qball_DarinMiller, I mean like a cd22:03
DarinMillerQball_: CD? Or DVD?  You can install to a DVD, but unless it's RW, you would not be able to update or install drivers.  Also, DVD are slower so the your system would be quite slow.22:16
DarinMillerAlso, typical DVD's don't have much storage,  so your app installation would be limited.22:19
Qball_could I not just have it save all the stuff to my harddrive and just have the os on the dvd and yes it is a RW22:20
Qball_is that not possible dragly_22:23
Qball_DarinMiller,22:23
Qball_my bad22:23
DarinMillerQball_: I think it would be that would be possble, put root on the DVD, create a home partition on the hard drive.  Since it is a RW DVD, then you can just try it with little risk.22:25
Qball_I dont wanna quiet use up my HDD limited space with the OS if I dont have to you know22:26
Qball_Im just trying to make a laptop that sucks be usable it's got a tf-20 1.6 gz processor so it is a single core processor22:27
Qball_so DarinMiller to make the dvd bootable I would just follow the tutorial as normal for the dvd install right22:30
DarinMillerA single core on any OS is not much fun.  Slowing it down with a DVD install would be less fun.22:30
Qball_I figured without formatting it and installing it on my harddrive this is the best option22:32
DarinMillerAs per the last comment on this page, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478433, you should not need to do anything special.22:34
Qball_I was just gonna burn the iso onto the dvd so I'll read that22:34
