[08:49] <eee-admin> i dont know anything about Kubuntu
[08:50] <eee-admin> where do i start
[08:50] <eee-admin> ?
[08:52] <lordievader> eee-admin_: I'd suggest you first find a goal.
[08:55] <lordievader> eee-admin_: Please fix your connection.
[10:31] <Eightynine> Is Kate a good text editor or there is something better?
[10:40] <user|83105> Hi All, I have recently installed Kubuntu 17.10 and have a weird font issue, the are horribly blurred unless the mouse is hovering over them
[11:00] <lordievader> Eightynine: Kate is a decent editor. Better is always a matter of preference.
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:56] <zorin-os> does anyone know what color code this is? (top half) http://imgur.com/a/IPSPK  cus it isnt 36, 96, 34, or 94
[13:17] <john85> hi :)
[13:20] <john85> quick question,  trying to install restricted extras for Kubuntu,  i have go to the point where it comes up with the blue license agreement,  but cant figure out how to "OK" it
[13:30] <john85> anyone there?
[13:34] <BluesKaj> john85, enter
[13:35] <john85> hi BluesKaj,  done that,  does nothing
[13:36] <BluesKaj> john85, ok paste a sceeenshot
[13:36] <john85> where to?
[13:36] <BluesKaj> imagebin
[13:37] <BluesKaj> then post the resultanr URL here
[13:39] <john85> not the greatest im afraid....https://imagebin.ca/v/3YmQz1LK6tKS
[13:40] <genii> tab key and enter key
[13:40] <john85> thanks :)
[13:41] <genii> np
[13:41] <john85> BluesKaj,  this is my last resort to getting Amarok to work
[13:41] <BluesKaj> odd I haven't seen that come in yrs
[13:42] <BluesKaj> come up
[13:43] <john85> VLC is ok,  but it messed up with my library
[13:43] <BluesKaj> haven't installed restricted extras since I don't seem to need them
[13:44] <john85> i have a lot of albums by various artists,  and VLC just put them all together,  its a nightmare trying to find what i want
[13:44] <BluesKaj> like I said before I don't trust players to organize my libraray anymore , nothing but trouble
[13:46] <john85> dont usually cause me any trouble..but each MP obviously deals with music libraries differently, and VLC is just one which doesnt do it for me
[13:47] <john85> ok,  we are done,  time to try Amarok again
[13:47] <john85> Oh you have no idea how happy i am at the moment :)
[13:48] <john85> by we are ddone i meant installation is done
[13:49] <john85> ok cool,  so now i have muon and Amarok up and running im happy and back to where i was with 16.04 more or less
[13:54] <BluesKaj> odd that amarok doesn't contain the mp3 plugin by default and needs the restricted extras to provide it
[13:55] <john85> it feels almost as if i have to relearn everything i spent years teaching myself about computers
[13:55] <BluesKaj> john85, it's not computers that are at fault it's the the distribution of software that's mucked up
[13:56] <john85> i know it has something to do with micensing,  but if VLC has em,  why not Amarok?
[13:56] <john85> ye,  its just a pity microsoft got there first
[13:57] <BluesKaj> don't think MS has much to do with mp3 inclusion in amarok
[13:57] <john85> it was a general comment
[13:58] <john85> i meant its a pity linux didnt make it as an OS
[13:58] <john85> leeme rephrase that
[13:59] <john85> its a pity linux didnt make it as the mainstream OS for everyone
[14:00] <BluesKaj> it did with me, I don't need MS for anything, of course I'm not a gamer, but my attitude is buy an xbox if you want games
[14:03] <john85> the first computer my parents got was a windows PC, so my first introduction to computers after the spectrun was MS
[14:05] <john85> sorry I have to go,  need to test some electricals for the shop before I go home :)
[14:06] <BluesKaj> well i used MSdos , W3.1, W95 and W98 on the job before I retired, so I'm an old windows guy, but to me it's gone over the edge with W8 to W10 with that silly desktop
[14:06] <john85> speak again soon,  hopefully it will be about something other than an issue with my laptop
[14:07] <BluesKaj> ok, later
[14:07] <john85> yet win 8 sucked,  first thing i installed when i got this laptop was start 8 to bring back the old desktop
[17:38] <emma> How can I tell which edition of kubuntu I'm using?
[17:46] <Eightynine> Can I find easy to read changelog at KDE site?
[17:53] <genii> emma: search for About System off the button and run it, will tell you various information
[17:53] <emma> thanks
[18:29] <Eightynine> Is that possible to remove older kernels?
[18:35] <marco-parillo> I tend to sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade.
[18:36] <marco-parillo> When you do, apt will tell you of you have older packages that can safely be removed. Generally they are kernels.
[18:36] <marco-parillo> s/you of you/you if you/
[18:37] <marco-parillo> If so, you can sudo apt autoremove
[18:39] <Eightynine> Should I add KDE Neon repository for updated Plasma or just wait for update to come in Ubuntu?
[18:40] <marco-parillo> If you have already installed Kubuntu, and want to add the KDE Neon repos, it should work. However, it is unsupported, and I would never try that on a machine where downtime would be a problem or you have un-backed-up data.
[18:41] <Eightynine> It wants to update hwe kernels and some other packages. It will leave kernel 4.8 too.
[18:41] <marco-parillo> https://neon.kde.org/faq#morph-kubuntu
[18:42] <Eightynine> Thank you Marco. I will leave Plasma 5.5
[18:42] <marco-parillo> Which version of Kubuntu do you have now?
[18:43] <Eightynine> 16.04 LTS
[18:44] <marco-parillo> Have you considered adding the Backports PPA? Look at the second half of this news item: https://kubuntu.org/news/latest-round-of-backports-ppa-updates-include-plasma-5-10-2-for-zesty-17-04/
[18:46] <marco-parillo> After you are done, you should have Plasma 5.8.7. See the list of packages here: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+index?field.series_filter=xenial
[18:55] <Eightynine> Sory, I've been a bit busy. No, I haven't considered. Didn't knew about that. I'll check.
[19:16] <renn0xtk9> trying to install kubunut inside a virtualbox
[19:16] <renn0xtk9> the installer fails
[19:16] <renn0xtk9> is there any particular settings to apply to virtualbox
 @renn0xtk9, Hi, have you checked the iso's sha256 sum?
[19:47] <renn0xtk9> IrcsomBot DGUERRERO yes and it matches
[19:49] <Eightynine> How to make Konsole to look better and make less eye strain?
[19:54] <renn0xtk9> Eightynine Settings/Edit Current Profile/Appearance?
[19:54] <renn0xtk9> I use Green on Black
 @renn0xtk9, In which step is failing? 9r it's failing after reboot?
[20:45] <valorie> renn0xtk9: check the amount of memory you have allocated to that VM
[20:45] <valorie> for me, when I don't give it what I consider a huge amount, it just fails with no useful error message
[20:46] <valorie> no idea why -- it doesn't use all the memory space I give it
[20:52] <renn0xtk9> valorie 16GB should be enough
[20:53] <renn0xtk9> it is dynamically allocated but still
[20:54] <valorie> well, it's been awhile since I set one up
[20:55] <valorie> but I was shocked to see how much it wanted
[20:55] <valorie> as you say, in the end no difference, since I don't leave them running anyway
[21:04] <menace> perhaps the live installer is still broken?
[21:04] <menace> :D
[21:08] <valorie> menace: in the beta1 at least, all the testers passed it
[21:08] <valorie> in 386 and amd64 both
[21:10] <menace> renn9xtk9 did not say which version he tried :D
[21:12] <valorie> he didn't, and then left
[21:12] <valorie> hard to help such a person
[21:12] <menace> yep
[22:39] <clivejo> how do I create a bootable USB disc?
[22:48] <valorie> !dvd
[22:48] <valorie> pfff
[22:48] <valorie> !usb
[22:48] <valorie> persistant is what you want, I think?
[22:48] <marcus__> nothin
[22:49] <clivejo> valorie: I have a KDE USB stick I picked up at akamedy, but I can't get the darn thing to boot
[22:49] <valorie> ah
[22:50] <valorie> probably flawed write
[22:50] <valorie> last time I tried to clean a USB I had to use parted
[22:50] <marcus__> hi im new but my linix is acting thats why i came and pc valorie
[22:50] <clivejo> I haven't used it
[23:05] <marcus__> anyone my linix is acting up
