| KF5WYX | Hi All. I had a difficult time installing Kubuntu 17.04 today. Finally got installed, but there was an error towards the end of the install script - didn't catch it to copy, but now the package manager seems to be borked, and I don't know how to resolve it. see: https://pastebin.com/wiDpjPVL | 03:05 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @KF5WYX, it seems you ran out of space in your /boot partition, do a df -h /* and check | 03:27 |

| Char|ie | Hey guys, Im trying to create a fancy-ish pdf from scratch. Id like to put on background images and text over it. Whats crucial though is that I need to learn how to build a page where it links to a page or section in the pdf | 06:30 |
| Char|ie | Im not sure how to put this in keywords in search in google :/ | 06:31 |
| Char|ie | Can anyone help out? | 06:31 |
| hateball | Uh... I am not sure how it's Kubuntu related :) | 06:32 |
| Char|ie | This is a question I should be asking Libreoffice right? | 06:32 |
| Char|ie | well I use Kubuntu :/ | 06:32 |
| hateball | Char|ie: Yeah :D | 06:32 |
| Char|ie | k. | 06:32 |
| hateball | Char|ie: But really you only make a document with TOC, export to PDF and it should make hyperlinks | 06:32 |
| hateball | Automagically | 06:32 |
| Char|ie | TOC? | 06:32 |
| hateball | Table of contents | 06:32 |
| Char|ie | Okay :) ty | 06:33 |

| john85 | BOO! | 09:50 |
| john85 | if anyone is there, i have a question | 09:53 |
| john85 | i am running windows 8 and kubi with grub boot loader | 09:54 |
| john85 | i have one of those new laptops with windows preinstalled on a recovery partition, can i safely reinstall windows without upsetting grub or kubi? | 09:55 |
| deng | #stripe | 10:06 |
| hateball | john85: reinstalling Windows will kill your bootloader and replace it with Windows own | 10:13 |
| hateball | !fixgrub | john85 | 10:13 |
| ubottu | john85: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 10:13 |
| hateball | john85: but quite easily fixable ^ | 10:14 |
| john85 | ok, i wont bother then | 10:14 |
| john85 | i have no need to really, just be good to clear out all the junk thats accumulated over the years since i now only ever use it for one thing, and i will hopefully have fully migrated to kubuntu soon anyway | 10:15 |
| hateball | john85: well you can liveboot and resize the partitions, if you want to reclaim space | 10:17 |
| hateball | and on the when you are finally free, you can kill the windows partition altogether, grub shouldnt even mind as it's in MBR + on your / partition | 10:18 |
| john85 | im getting a new SSD soon, so dont think i will bother worrying about messing about with my current drive | 10:18 |
| hateball | ah :) | 10:18 |
| john85 | will keep the old drive, just in case i need windows for something | 10:19 |
| hateball | probably wise | 10:19 |
| john85 | i paid for it after all | 10:19 |
| hateball | john85: you could get an enclosure for the old drive, reinstall a windows VM and keep it on that drive | 10:20 |
| hateball | attached over USB, rather than having to swap back and forth :p | 10:20 |
| john85 | good idea :) | 10:20 |
| john85 | thanks | 10:20 |
| hateball | They are cheap enough these days | 10:21 |
| john85 | i was thinking about a VM, but never thought of doing it like that | 10:21 |
| hateball | well of course performance will suffer compared to keeping it on SSD | 10:22 |
| hateball | but if it's just for the odd occassion... | 10:22 |
| john85 | ye | 10:22 |
| john85 | cant wait till i get my broadband in two weeks | 10:25 |
| hateball | :) | 10:25 |
| john85 | its unfortunate i have to wait 2 weeks though | 10:26 |
| hateball | Yes, nothing quite as annoying | 10:27 |
| john85 | its lucky i have BB at work, last place i worked didnt | 10:29 |
| john85 | but then i did have BB at home | 10:30 |
| john85 | actually, thats not quite true, work did have BB, but only certain people had access to it | 10:31 |
| john85 | same here really, only a select few are allowed wi fi password | 10:32 |
| hateball | odd, unless bandwidth comes at a premium | 10:33 |
| hateball | even low end routers will offer guestnet functionality these days | 10:34 |
| john85 | wifi password here is shite, password on works laptop is shit too lol | 10:34 |
| hateball | even so, you can QoS | 10:34 |
| john85 | i think its more to do with trust than bandwidth | 10:34 |
| hateball | hence guestnet :p | 10:34 |
| hateball | but that's more suited for !ot ;D | 10:34 |
| john85 | this channel is always so packed but always so quiet, unless people just remain logged in or go off into private chats | 10:39 |
| hateball | yes | 10:40 |
| john85 | im needed on shop floor | 10:41 |

| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> Good day everyone | 13:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> anyone knows how to reatart the x server so it reads changes in xorg.conf without rebooting? | 13:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> already tried sddm restart but isn't reading changes in xorg.conf | 13:19 |
| lordievader | Restarting sddm should do that... | 13:21 |
| lordievader | Since X is restarted. | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | do we even have xorg.conf by default anymore? | 13:23 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: Not my knowledge | 13:25 |
| hateball | to my* | 13:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @lordievader, exactly, but it jus doesn't read it, but if i restart the machine it would take the changes | 13:25 |
| hateball | But it is still required to set some systemwide options for the nvidia blob and what not | 13:25 |
| lordievader | DGUERRERO: how are you making the changes? | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | hateball, yeah that's nvidia-xconfig | 13:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @lordievader, nano directly to xorg.conf | 13:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> hateball: even with nvidia-xconfig, it will just take the changes after rebooting | 13:28 |
| lordievader | Are there files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d which override the settings? | 13:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> no, doesn't even have a .d directory | 13:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> and it's driving me crazy because I want to connect a UHD tv via HDMI, but the max resolution avaliable for it is 1920x1080, so instead of add the resolution, changes the dpi to 30x30, and you can't read anything | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | DGUERRERO I have to ask, does your gpu support 4k | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 13:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> in theory, only spupoort it at 30hz | 13:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> and in 60 the max is 2560x1440 | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | 30hz can be watchable, but pans are probly jerky | 13:45 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @BluesKaj, I think it's betther than the 30x30 dpi i hav-e right now hehehe | 13:48 |

| Guest51354 | Hi. I have a directory and the user and group owner is ubuntu. Now I want to allow another user jenkins to access that folder with the same rights as ubuntu user. What should I do ? | 13:53 |
| Guest51354 | I tried adding the user jenkins to ubuntu group as its secondary group but did not work | 13:54 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @Guest51354, Hi, if you have intermediate linux skills, i would suggest you to use an ACL for that user in the directory. | 13:55 |
| Guest51354 | Yes I can learn and do that but is there an easier way ? | 13:55 |
| Guest51354 | a workaround ? | 13:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> @Guest51354, did you checked the permission for owner and group are the same? it can be dangerous... | 13:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> but it will be easier | 13:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> BluesKaj: i have and old but warry GT540m | 13:57 |
| Guest51354 | owner and group are the same yes but ubuntu group has users ubuntu and jenkins only | 13:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DGUERRERO> maybe you need to apply these permissions recursively? | 14:02 |
| dougl | morning folks | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | 'morning dougl | 14:20 |
| dougl | Hey BluesKaj how are you doing today? | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, good thanks, and you? | 14:21 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, not bad - working out a few bugs wondering if I should do release update (?) on my 14.04 LTS but it aint broke so I am nervous about fixing it | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, dunno much about 16.04, barely used it so I can' comment, but 18.04 promises a lot of big changes. I'll probly be testing it in a few weeks. | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | can't comment | 14:33 |
| hateball | dougl: be aware that 14.04 to 16.04 is not a supported Kubuntu upgrade | 14:34 |
| hateball | due to the 4.x -> 5.x | 14:34 |
| hateball | It has worked when I've done it tho, but I lost my kwallet in the process | 14:34 |
| hateball | might have been some other minor issues, but none that I can remember now | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | that's no loss :-) | 14:35 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, aww you caught me fishing for advice again... I will probably wait... Thats what I am talking about... | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | the change fropm kde/plasma4 to 5 is q big one too | 14:36 |
| dougl | you saved me the effort... I will clean install and dual boot 14.04 and 18.04 when the time comes | 14:36 |
| dougl | in a few weeks it will be beta you are testing? | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, best to use separate / and /home partitions for LTS IMO | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | no betas for a while | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | I'm on beta 2 Artful atm | 14:39 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, agreed been doing it so long I don't know if you taught me or that is something I picked up in my gentoo years,,, sometimes /var is independent partition too | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, but /var isn't really necessary | 14:41 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, how is that working for you - Artful | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | working nicely | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | think we're already close to the final release package and kernel wise | 14:43 |
| dougl | Nice | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | 17.10 has been a remarkably smooth development vs previous versions IME | 14:44 |
| BluesKaj | 'morning genii | 14:45 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Mornin' :) | 14:46 |
| vrmuppalla | when 17.10 is released, does the system automatically update to the final version from the beta ? Do the repos also reflect that ? If so, how can I verify that ? | 15:23 |
| oerheks | vrmuppalla, yes, 17.10 beta2 will upgrade to the final 17.10, no need for changing repos. | 15:24 |
| vrmuppalla | thanks. | 15:31 |
| dougl | anyone know where the screen saver is on xfce? | 15:43 |
| oerheks | better ask in #xubuntu | 15:44 |
| dougl | oerheks, thank you - I should have know better, was just being lazy I guess :) | 15:47 |
