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 [03:27] @KF5WYX, it seems you ran out of space in your /boot partition, do a df -h /* and check === kubuntu is now known as Guest2595 === pasha is now known as Guest20713 === Guest20713 is now known as pasha_ === hades_ is now known as Guest75 [05:53] noobie question. How do I set up my email services with loopback? I see lots on Google about how to send, but not where to set the SMTP server and credentials to use for sending... [05:53] Or should I ask in the gitter.im room? [05:54] oops.. sry... wrong channel.. lol [06:30] 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 [06:31] Im not sure how to put this in keywords in search in google :/ [06:31] Can anyone help out? [06:32] Uh... I am not sure how it's Kubuntu related :) [06:32] This is a question I should be asking Libreoffice right? [06:32] well I use Kubuntu :/ [06:32] Char|ie: Yeah :D [06:32] k. [06:32] Char|ie: But really you only make a document with TOC, export to PDF and it should make hyperlinks [06:32] Automagically [06:32] TOC? [06:32] Table of contents [06:33] Okay :) ty [06:33] https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Creating_a_Table_of_Contents [06:42] awesome :D [06:42] ty [07:06] Char|ie: No worries :) [07:20] Good morning === andzej is now known as andrzejv [09:50] BOO! [09:53] if anyone is there, i have a question [09:54] i am running windows 8 and kubi with grub boot loader [09:55] i have one of those new laptops with windows preinstalled on a recovery partition, can i safely reinstall windows without upsetting grub or kubi? [10:06] #stripe [10:13] john85: reinstalling Windows will kill your bootloader and replace it with Windows own [10:13] !fixgrub | john85 [10:13] 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 [10:14] john85: but quite easily fixable ^ [10:14] ok, i wont bother then [10:15] 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 [10:17] john85: well you can liveboot and resize the partitions, if you want to reclaim space [10:18] 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] im getting a new SSD soon, so dont think i will bother worrying about messing about with my current drive [10:18] ah :) [10:19] will keep the old drive, just in case i need windows for something [10:19] probably wise [10:19] i paid for it after all [10:20] john85: you could get an enclosure for the old drive, reinstall a windows VM and keep it on that drive [10:20] attached over USB, rather than having to swap back and forth :p [10:20] good idea :) [10:20] thanks [10:21] They are cheap enough these days [10:21] i was thinking about a VM, but never thought of doing it like that [10:22] well of course performance will suffer compared to keeping it on SSD [10:22] but if it's just for the odd occassion... [10:22] ye [10:25] cant wait till i get my broadband in two weeks [10:25] :) [10:26] its unfortunate i have to wait 2 weeks though [10:27] Yes, nothing quite as annoying [10:29] its lucky i have BB at work, last place i worked didnt [10:30] but then i did have BB at home [10:31] actually, thats not quite true, work did have BB, but only certain people had access to it [10:32] same here really, only a select few are allowed wi fi password [10:33] odd, unless bandwidth comes at a premium [10:34] even low end routers will offer guestnet functionality these days [10:34] wifi password here is shite, password on works laptop is shit too lol [10:34] even so, you can QoS [10:34] i think its more to do with trust than bandwidth [10:34] hence guestnet :p [10:34] but that's more suited for !ot ;D [10:39] this channel is always so packed but always so quiet, unless people just remain logged in or go off into private chats [10:40] yes [10:41] im needed on shop floor [10:41] bye for now [11:55] Hey folks === ella-emmerallde is now known as ella-kappa [13:18] Good day everyone [13:18] anyone knows how to reatart the x server so it reads changes in xorg.conf without rebooting? [13:19] already tried sddm restart but isn't reading changes in xorg.conf [13:21] Restarting sddm should do that... [13:21] Since X is restarted. [13:23] do we even have xorg.conf by default anymore? [13:25] BluesKaj: Not my knowledge [13:25] to my* [13:25] @lordievader, exactly, but it jus doesn't read it, but if i restart the machine it would take the changes [13:25] But it is still required to set some systemwide options for the nvidia blob and what not [13:26] DGUERRERO: how are you making the changes? [13:27] hateball, yeah that's nvidia-xconfig [13:27] @lordievader, nano directly to xorg.conf [13:28] hateball: even with nvidia-xconfig, it will just take the changes after rebooting [13:28] Are there files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d which override the settings? [13:28] no, doesn't even have a .d directory [13:31] 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 [13:36] DGUERRERO I have to ask, does your gpu support 4k [13:36] ? [13:41] in theory, only spupoort it at 30hz [13:41] and in 60 the max is 2560x1440 [13:45] 30hz can be watchable, but pans are probly jerky [13:48] @BluesKaj, I think it's betther than the 30x30 dpi i hav-e right now hehehe === enzo is now known as Guest99196 [13:48] *better === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [13:50] DGUERRERO, right , which gpu are you running ? === ugur is now known as Guest51354 [13:53] 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 ? [13:54] I tried adding the user jenkins to ubuntu group as its secondary group but did not work [13:55] @Guest51354, Hi, if you have intermediate linux skills, i would suggest you to use an ACL for that user in the directory. [13:55] Yes I can learn and do that but is there an easier way ? [13:55] a workaround ? [13:55] @Guest51354, did you checked the permission for owner and group are the same? it can be dangerous... [13:56] but it will be easier [13:57] BluesKaj: i have and old but warry GT540m [13:57] owner and group are the same yes but ubuntu group has users ubuntu and jenkins only [14:02] maybe you need to apply these permissions recursively? [14:10] morning folks [14:20] 'morning dougl [14:21] Hey BluesKaj how are you doing today? [14:21] dougl, good thanks, and you? [14:27] 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 [14:33] 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] can't comment [14:34] dougl: be aware that 14.04 to 16.04 is not a supported Kubuntu upgrade [14:34] due to the 4.x -> 5.x [14:34] It has worked when I've done it tho, but I lost my kwallet in the process [14:35] might have been some other minor issues, but none that I can remember now [14:35] that's no loss :-) [14:35] BluesKaj, aww you caught me fishing for advice again... I will probably wait... Thats what I am talking about... [14:36] the change fropm kde/plasma4 to 5 is q big one too [14:36] you saved me the effort... I will clean install and dual boot 14.04 and 18.04 when the time comes [14:37] in a few weeks it will be beta you are testing? [14:37] dougl, best to use separate / and /home partitions for LTS IMO [14:38] no betas for a while [14:39] I'm on beta 2 Artful atm [14:39] 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 [14:41] yeah, but /var isn't really necessary [14:41] BluesKaj, how is that working for you - Artful [14:42] working nicely [14:43] think we're already close to the final release package and kernel wise [14:43] Nice [14:44] 17.10 has been a remarkably smooth development vs previous versions IME [14:45] 'morning genii [14:46] BluesKaj: Mornin' :) [15:23] 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 ? [15:24] vrmuppalla, yes, 17.10 beta2 will upgrade to the final 17.10, no need for changing repos. [15:31] thanks.
