[00:55] hello [00:55] hi, how do I restart iptables? I try "sudo sevice iptables restart" but I get "Failed to restart iptables.service: Unit iptables.service not found." [01:03] Have you tried (without sudo) systemctl [stop|start|restart|reload] iptables [01:09] mparillo: oh, that;s right [01:09] it's systemctl now [01:09] thank you [01:09] mparillo: $ sudo systemctl restart iptables [01:09] Failed to restart iptables.service: Unit iptables.service not found. [02:07] I do not think you need sudo [02:13] Updated Kubntu a few minutes ago, accepted the invitation to restart the computer, now I get no further than sddm. [02:16] Logged in at tty2, using htop, AFAICT the highest numbered PID for the failed login (user grahamperrin) is for kwalletd5 [03:03] grahamperrin[m]: you might try `sudo apt install -f` or if you're using the old LTS, `sudo apt-get install -f` [03:03] f=fix [03:04] they had a recent update to apt, which seemed to mess up discover until another update to it [03:04] in Artful at least [03:05] valorie: thanks, 0 to upgrade etc.. [03:06] well then, `sudo dpkg --configure -a` [03:07] and finally, `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` [03:08] thinking back a few days, I vaguely recall adding a repo wondering whether it would get me Plasma 10.9.5 [03:08] or apt-get dist-upgrade for older [03:08] what is your base system? [03:08] aha, you might have the beta PPA? [03:09] 17.04 and I see zesty-backports. How do I get rid of that backports ppa? [03:09] oh, that shouldn't hurt [03:09] but you can always ppa-purge [03:09] !ppa-purge [03:09] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [03:10] I've never seen a problem with backports [03:11] those are pretty extensively tested before being put there [03:11] Also I forget, how do I bring up the listing of boot options? (After entering the crypt phrase for the encrypted disk.) [03:12] but still, every PPA can be pp-purged [03:12] grahamperrin[m]: depends on your computer, but usually shift or control or so [03:14] * grahamperrin[m] tries both of those, just the pulsing Kubuntu logo [03:23] I have decades of experience with command line Mac OS X, around three years with FreeBSD, but the PPA stuff I find horribly confusing. The good news: the Kubuntu machine is non-essential to me [03:23] It's past 4 in the morning here, I might revisit this some time tomorrow. Thanks folks. === sysop is now known as Guest47299 === alek_ is now known as manberpig [05:28] list [06:12] Good morning [06:38] Hi all. Is there a PPA for newer KDE Applications for Kubuntu 16.04? I'd like to get 16.12 (or newer) as there was a bugfix in kate which would help me out quite a bit :-) [06:45] ripper17: this is what exists https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports?field.series_filter=xenial [06:45] I don't think there are any plans to backport further, but #kubuntu-devel knows for sure [06:45] ripper17: what is the bugfix? === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [06:48] not planning to backport a whole KDE apps release. too many dependency changes. individual things and fixes, maybe though [07:16] Hello. I've been wondering if there is a way to change the characters that signify a wourd-boundary in the system. What I mean is this: One can highlight a single word (let's say in LibreOffice) with the key-combination of shift+ctrl+[left or right]arrow. this works for words separated by spaces and "-" for example. But I would like it to work on "_" as well. Is there some way to achieve that? [07:17] hey hey hey ;) long time ago [07:17] hey hateball [07:22] hello noaXess ! [07:25] did anyone find a solution in kubuntu 16.04 to integrated google drive into dolphin? [07:26] if i add google to online accounts, i only see that hangout services is loaded [07:30] noaXess: https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive [07:31] I dont know if it is included in Kubuntu now, or if you can manually compile against 16.04 [07:31] not included.. already checked hateball [07:31] thats why i ask here ;) [07:31] noaXess: I was thinking in more recent releases [07:31] hm.. [07:31] I am also on 16.04, but I only use drive in a browser so [07:46] acheronuk: https://cgit.kde.org/kate.git/commit/?id=fa5e37af33f44f6e721880042a48e162973c4840 [07:47] hateball: thanks, the backports is nice (I got it already) but it "only" has kate 16.04.3 [07:48] ripper17: thanks. I will see in the next day or 2 if that fix can be applied to the kate package we already have in backports [07:48] that would be great, thanks for looking into it ! [07:50] ripper17: you are welcome. not sure it will be today, but if you are about tomorrow might have a test build to try (if the patch does do something weird) [07:50] *doesn't do something weird [07:51] no worries, I'll be around for the rest of the week at least :-) [07:51] (as long as my ISP doesn't disconnect me...) [07:51] cool :) [07:54] Mrokii: you can define additional characters for Libreoffice in the settings [07:55] hmm, sorry, I might have been mistaken, my LO has "_" as separating character built in, it seems ... === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [08:35] hateball: yeah.. me also using drive only in browser.. kust thought there is a simple integration ;) [08:37] ripper17: I'm sorry, it seems that actually LO does separate on "_". But where it doesn't work is in the standard file requester in Kubuntu. So my main problem is that I'd need a way to set that for the system as a whole. [08:50] Mrokii: AFAIK this is hard coded in QT: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qchar.html#Category-enum [08:50] but I'm not an expert on this, sorry [09:21] ripper17: Thanks for the info. [09:29] Okay, here's another problem (though it's probably too generic). As of late, kwin seems to crash quite often. Sometimes it restarts by itself, sometimes I have to pen a konsole to restart it manually. I don't know what I should look for to see what causes the crashes. [09:30] Oh, btw, it seems to be crash-prone especially when I try to switch from one virtual screen to another. [09:49] I see that as well [09:49] it happens more seldom after installing newer versions off kde ppa [09:50] https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports this one === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [11:00] Maakuth: I think I have that activated already, but I'll take a look. Thanks. [11:02] i still have crashes, not so often though [11:02] maybe it's some unfortunate version choice of kde packages for 16.04 [11:03] I'm on 17.04. [11:03] oh [11:04] too bad, perhaps it's just kde being buggy these days [11:04] Could be. [11:04] I used to like KDE in in 3.x days and now i'm back. I don't think it used to crash that much back then [11:05] I haven't been that long on KDE, so I couldn't say. I think it's still far better than Gnome. :) I wouldn't want to go back to that. [11:06] https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ somebody still maintains kde 3 [11:06] it's obsolete these days I guess. but I liked it a lot ten years ago [11:07] Okay. :) [11:08] my main gripe with (k)ubuntu isn't with kde though... it's this problem of monitor discovery [11:08] For now, the crashes on Kubuntu aren that bad that I would switch to something else. But thanks anyway. [11:08] I only have one monitor, so I have no problems there. [11:09] i have a pair in both my home office and at work [11:09] and I haven't gotten xorg (or whichever component is responsible) to redetect the displays when I move between these. so I'll have to shut down and restart when I change location [11:09] I see. [11:10] Sounds bad indeed. [11:13] yeah.. I do two office days a week and remotely the rest, so there's four location changes every week [11:15] Regarding work... I need to leave for work. :D Was nice talking, but I have to go. Bye. [11:18] no problem [11:53] Anyone know of a secure remote desktop 'server' and how it might easily be installed? Thinking SPICE-protocol based. [11:53] *If of course I can get KDE stable and to stop crashing random things on this fresh install.. [11:57] Much obliged...answer is Linux Mint. Thanks.
