[10:40] 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 === toscalix_ is now known as toscalix [11:00] Eightynine: Kate is a decent editor. Better is always a matter of preference. === marco is now known as Guest6545 === kubuntu is now known as Guest62237 === rumble is now known as grumble [12:33] Hi folks [12:56] 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] hi :) [13:20] 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] anyone there? [13:34] john85, enter [13:35] hi BluesKaj, done that, does nothing [13:36] john85, ok paste a sceeenshot [13:36] where to? [13:36] imagebin [13:37] then post the resultanr URL here [13:39] not the greatest im afraid....https://imagebin.ca/v/3YmQz1LK6tKS [13:40] tab key and enter key [13:40] thanks :) [13:41] np [13:41] BluesKaj, this is my last resort to getting Amarok to work [13:41] odd I haven't seen that come in yrs [13:42] come up [13:43] VLC is ok, but it messed up with my library [13:43] haven't installed restricted extras since I don't seem to need them [13:44] 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] like I said before I don't trust players to organize my libraray anymore , nothing but trouble [13:46] 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] ok, we are done, time to try Amarok again [13:47] Oh you have no idea how happy i am at the moment :) [13:48] by we are ddone i meant installation is done [13:49] 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] odd that amarok doesn't contain the mp3 plugin by default and needs the restricted extras to provide it [13:55] it feels almost as if i have to relearn everything i spent years teaching myself about computers [13:55] john85, it's not computers that are at fault it's the the distribution of software that's mucked up [13:56] i know it has something to do with micensing, but if VLC has em, why not Amarok? [13:56] ye, its just a pity microsoft got there first [13:57] don't think MS has much to do with mp3 inclusion in amarok [13:57] it was a general comment [13:58] i meant its a pity linux didnt make it as an OS [13:58] leeme rephrase that [13:59] its a pity linux didnt make it as the mainstream OS for everyone [14:00] 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] the first computer my parents got was a windows PC, so my first introduction to computers after the spectrun was MS [14:05] sorry I have to go, need to test some electricals for the shop before I go home :) [14:06] 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] speak again soon, hopefully it will be about something other than an issue with my laptop [14:07] ok, later [14:07] yet win 8 sucked, first thing i installed when i got this laptop was start 8 to bring back the old desktop === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [17:38] How can I tell which edition of kubuntu I'm using? [17:46] Can I find easy to read changelog at KDE site? [17:53] emma: search for About System off the button and run it, will tell you various information [17:53] thanks [18:29] Is that possible to remove older kernels? [18:35] I tend to sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade. [18:36] When you do, apt will tell you of you have older packages that can safely be removed. Generally they are kernels. [18:36] s/you of you/you if you/ [18:37] If so, you can sudo apt autoremove [18:39] Should I add KDE Neon repository for updated Plasma or just wait for update to come in Ubuntu? [18:40] 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] It wants to update hwe kernels and some other packages. It will leave kernel 4.8 too. [18:41] https://neon.kde.org/faq#morph-kubuntu [18:42] Thank you Marco. I will leave Plasma 5.5 [18:42] Which version of Kubuntu do you have now? [18:43] 16.04 LTS [18:44] 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] 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] Sory, I've been a bit busy. No, I haven't considered. Didn't knew about that. I'll check. === Finetundar is now known as HiddenTundra [19:16] trying to install kubunut inside a virtualbox [19:16] the installer fails [19:16] is there any particular settings to apply to virtualbox [19:36] @renn0xtk9, Hi, have you checked the iso's sha256 sum? [19:47] IrcsomBot DGUERRERO yes and it matches [19:49] How to make Konsole to look better and make less eye strain? [19:54] Eightynine Settings/Edit Current Profile/Appearance? [19:54] I use Green on Black [20:43] @renn0xtk9, In which step is failing? 9r it's failing after reboot? [20:45] renn0xtk9: check the amount of memory you have allocated to that VM [20:45] for me, when I don't give it what I consider a huge amount, it just fails with no useful error message [20:46] no idea why -- it doesn't use all the memory space I give it [20:52] valorie 16GB should be enough [20:53] it is dynamically allocated but still [20:54] well, it's been awhile since I set one up [20:55] but I was shocked to see how much it wanted [20:55] as you say, in the end no difference, since I don't leave them running anyway [21:04] perhaps the live installer is still broken? [21:04] :D [21:08] menace: in the beta1 at least, all the testers passed it [21:08] in 386 and amd64 both [21:10] renn9xtk9 did not say which version he tried :D [21:12] he didn't, and then left [21:12] hard to help such a person [21:12] yep === jemand is now known as Jemand [22:39] how do I create a bootable USB disc?
