[00:33] <schnoodles> Has Ubuntu/Debian removed ack/ack-grep from the repositories? Is there a better replacement ?
[01:12] <krytarik> schnoodles: It currently doesn't pass the automatic tests in Ubuntu, hence why it wasn't included in 17.10 - see LP bug 1707979.
[01:25] <schnoodles> Ahhh ok. Ah well I just symlinked ag (silversearcher) to ack.
[04:47] <blair_> hey
[04:47] <blair_> you guys are awesome
[04:48] <blair_> you like beef?
[04:48] <blair_> speek
[04:49] <blair_> hey, new one
 Hello Support Group! Is it possible to install XED text editor in Kubuntu 17.10 (failed installing from source, from ppa and from deb package). Your kind help is really appreciated.
[07:13] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:11] <ivychend>  I wonder about which software recieves touchscreen input data in ubuntu, cause that works better than tslib
[10:15]  * lordievader wouldn't be surprised if it goes through libinput
[10:20] <ivychend> is it libinput should be called by an application? It is just a lib
[10:21] <zztopless> greetings one and all...  Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where to download (or add a repo for) Dolphin version 14.12.x (ie not too old, but sans baloo.
[10:38] <lordievader> !info dolphin
[10:39] <hateball> !mint | zztopless
[10:39] <lordievader> Wow, 14.12 is quite old. Is that still KDE 4?
[10:39] <hateball> (they are crossposting in #kde)
[11:17] <zztopless> lordievader: no idea
[11:17] <zztopless> but it is sans baloo and I can search properly
[11:18] <zztopless> like if I want to see all the images in a folder and all of it's subfolders, * works again
[11:18] <lordievader> Considering 17.04 is current-ish... 14.x is old.
[11:19] <zztopless> crank up the preview size and it's like you're watching your porn collection for the first time there's so much!
[11:19] <zztopless> logic! :P
[11:19] <lordievader> Anyhow, if you are running mint I suggest to ask around in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org.
[11:19] <zztopless> 14.04 is still used by a large percentage if it's not he majority, I would put money on a plurality
[11:20] <zztopless> yeah, I'm usually there too, but this was more of a kde thing and #kubuntu is on here too which is like kde-mint but, like not also
[11:21] <lordievader> Ubuntu 14.04 sure. And it still gets security updates. But I was actually talking about dolphin 14.x
[11:21] <zztopless> I really do enjoy my 10:30pm sundowning
[11:21] <zztopless> ahh, that certainly makes more sense from context :/
[11:22] <zztopless> It honestly doesn't look THAT far back in terms of the design language, but how much of that is from the kde's theming system affecting it's look
[11:27] <zztopless> can't find anyone useful in my ff history on the mint vm, or on ff or chrome on my windows host
[11:28] <zztopless> oh, yeah, this is for my new lubuntu vm, the built in file browser on that thing sucks
[13:32] <haroon_> Hello eveyone I installed ubuntu on a fujitsu u772 and I'm can't get bluetooth to work. It says under the Bluetooth  settings, "No Bluetooth found". I'm pretty sure my notebook has bluetooth. I never used it under windows.
[13:37] <haroon_> I also can't enable it in setting and the bluetooth manager can't do anything either.
[13:40] <hateball> haroon_: does the machine have a hardware switch?
[13:40] <hateball> haroon_: is bluetooth listed if you run "lsusb"
[14:08] <Yuvi> Is there a way to have KUbuntu sent to me physically?
[14:08] <Yuvi> Like on a compact disk?
[14:10] <hateball> Yuvi: Does not look that way
[14:11] <hateball> Yuvi: Not an official way, that is. There's probably third parties selling USB sticks
[14:11] <Yuvi> Okay. Thank you
[14:11] <Yuvi> I have already started downloading the file for me but I would like to send one to my cousin
[14:11] <Yuvi> Just thought there would be a way
[14:12] <Yuvi> And one other question.
[14:13] <Yuvi> Will I be able to install Microsoft Office onto the Ubuntu platform?
[14:26] <lordievader> There is Wine... don't think there is any official Microsoft support for Office on Linux. You might want to checkout Libreoffice.
[14:26] <lordievader> !info libreoffice
[14:27] <hateball> lordievader: well they left after asking, so
[14:28] <lordievader> Hmm, I don't see his quit message.
[14:31] <denis-root> hello
[14:32] <hateball> Hello
[14:57] <haroon_> hateball: I can't see it, if I use lsusb, but I think its integrated. And there is no hardware switch for the bluetooth. https://ptpb.pw/0lJu
[14:58] <hateball> haroon_: check with "lspci" also, if it is attached to that bus
[14:58] <hateball> usually is usb tho
[14:59] <haroon_> hateball: Can't see it there either. https://ptpb.pw/piPb
[15:00] <haroon_> But I'm like 99% sure every u772 has bluetooth integrated stockwise
[15:01] <hateball> haroon_: cant see any wifi chip in there either
[15:02] <hateball> ah there, a realtek one
[15:02] <hateball> such verbose output ;p
[15:03] <hateball> haroon_: not disabled in bios? ;d
[15:04] <haroon_> hateball: It should be enabled in the bios, since its coupled with the wifi adapter. But I will reboot and look.
[15:04] <haroon_> hateball: brb
[15:08] <haroon_> hateball: Everything is enabled in the bios.
[15:08] <hateball> hmmm
[15:09] <hateball> I don't really have much to suggest then
[15:09] <hateball> haroon_: which release is this?
[15:11] <haroon_> Linux U772 4.13.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 11 18:35:14 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[15:13] <hateball> hmmm
[15:13] <hateball> haroon_: afraid I am out of ideas atm :/
[15:13] <haroon_> hateball: Thanks for your assistance.
[15:20] <hateball> hopefully a wiser person than me will come along shortly
[15:24] <R13ose> How do I make the boot background stay all the time?
[15:58] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[16:46] <R13ose> Any thoughts on my question?
[16:48] <zztopless> As your desktop background?
[16:52] <R13ose> zztopless: boot screen
[16:55] <zztopless> Your best bets would be to get as good a quality photo of it and run it through google image search to see if it is in the wild (very good chance I would have thought), or just email the developers.
[16:56] <R13ose> How does that add the photo to the boot screen?
[16:57] <zztopless> ahh, lol
[16:58] <zztopless> I mis-read you as wanting whatever the boot image is to also use as your desktop wallpaper..
[16:59] <zztopless> I can only say in my defense that it's 4am
[17:04] <R13ose> 1pm here
[17:06] <zztopless> Hate to tell you the the future isn't any brighter up ahead here
[17:12] <R13ose> zztopless: why?
[17:21] <zztopless> The Delorians still don't fly!
[17:22] <R13ose> So
[17:27] <R13ose> zztopless: nothing to do with my question
[17:43] <zztopless> R13ose: it was just a poor attempt at a funny.. Implying that being in a further ahead time zone being a form of time travel...
[17:48] <R13ose> Okay.  Back to my question
[17:55] <Guest87220> hi, anyone know how to disable touchpad completely on kubuntu 17.10_
[17:55] <Guest87220> please
[17:59] <Guest87220> anyone there?
[18:00] <krytarik> Sure, just have a bit patience.
[18:00] <Guest87220> oh, sorry
[18:02]  * D0U91E is googling "disable touchpad kubuntu" for Guest87220 
[18:02] <Guest87220> the thing is I have a thinkpad and I only use the trackpoint
[18:03] <D0U91E> https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjPxaLr-p3XAhVRImMKHYT3BgUQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F193376%2Fdisable-touchpad-while-typing&usg=AOvVaw3k2-NDjsGIOK3s10LE-M5w
[18:04] <D0U91E> Guest87220, hmm not as apparent as I thought... but I do remember seeing it in 17.04 of 17.10
[18:04] <D0U91E> or
[18:06] <D0U91E> Guest87220, your here - I found what I was looking for and need you to try solution as I have no touch pad on this computer
[18:06] <Guest87220> tell me
[18:06] <D0U91E> Guest87220,  go into system setting and search for touchpad
[18:06] <Guest87220> ok
[18:07] <D0U91E> there I believe you can disable but I have nothing to try on it is all greyed out for me...
[18:07] <D0U91E> Guest87220, keep me posted I have to run but am waiting to see that you are good
[18:09] <Guest87220> I cannot disable from there completely
[18:09] <D0U91E> shitty :(
[18:09] <Guest87220> Only while typing or when I plug another mouse, but not the trackpoint
[18:09] <Guest87220> strange
[18:10] <D0U91E> welcome to linux I guess - oh so strange but oh so fun when it works...
[18:10] <Guest87220> yes hehe
[18:11] <Guest87220> I mean, it's quite simple on cinnamon I was using for a while
[18:11] <Guest87220> no ofense, please
[18:11] <D0U91E> Guest87220, I have seen it elsewheere in a config file hidden away somewhere... that is why I remembered or it stuck out is system setting...
[18:12] <D0U91E> No offence... we would be foolish to think one distro is good for every person...
[18:12] <D0U91E> there is good and bad in all of them.
[18:12] <zztopless> Guest87220: Is disabling it semi-permanently acceptable?
[18:12] <D0U91E> zztopless, nice - what did you find?
[18:13] <Guest87220> I really want to move to kubuntu, but I had to solve this
[18:14] <Guest87220> not acceptable, since I only use the trackpoint and I move the cursor all the time
[18:14] <zztopless> If it was me and there was no software solution I would carefully pull the ribbon cables (the most common connection there is thin rubbon connections) out at the trackpad end
[18:14]  * D0U91E wonders what the definition of semi-permanently means?
[18:15] <Guest87220> zztopless: good idea...
[18:15] <D0U91E> on my mom's she taped an old credit card over it on here windows laptop.
[18:15] <D0U91E> here her
[18:15] <zztopless> actually, depending on the layout, and if the trackpad has it's own ribbon connection tot he MB that would be more accessible than getting to under the trackpad.
[18:16] <zztopless> nice
[18:16] <D0U91E> ok guys and gals nice chat but coffee is over - see you later...
[18:17] <zztopless> yeah, those trackpoints feel like the worst idea ever at first compared to the nice big easy trackpad.  But if you stuck with them, you become a ninja is a see of regulars
[18:17] <zztopless> later
[18:17] <D0U91E> zztopless, good thinking thanks for chiming in... Guest87220 look forward to seeing you again with a better nick (lol) good luck
[18:18] <zztopless> no worries
[18:18] <krytarik> Guest87220: https://askubuntu.com/questions/65951/how-to-disable-the-touchpad
[18:18] <Guest87220> OH! Good news! I just have to set to ignore TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint
[18:18] <Guest87220> Voilà
[18:18] <zztopless> years of spilling shot on my kb
[18:18] <zztopless> and opening up to dry
[18:18] <zztopless> awesome!
[18:19] <Guest87220> Well, good bye and thank you! I have a kubuntu to install now! ;)

[18:31] <bytebites> list
[19:47] <heinkel_111> hello
[19:49] <heinkel_111> when doing apt-get update i get error messages because once upon a time ago i installed a package that installs google earth
[19:49] <heinkel_111> it did not work, i removed it, but apt-get update keeps looking for the repository that was added
[19:49] <heinkel_111> how to remove it ?
[19:50] <heinkel_111> is seems to be not in /etc/apt/sources.list but in a separate file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[19:50] <heinkel_111> is it just to remove the google related entries in this folder?
[19:51] <krytarik> Yep.
[19:52] <heinkel_111> so it is not put there by some program (some part of the apt system)
[19:53] <mparillo> And if you are not that comfortable with the konsole, you can remove the repo using Discover
[19:55] <heinkel_111> I am quite comfortable with the konsole but that does not mean I know all the ins and outs of the different programs that I can operate with the konsole :)
[20:00] <mparillo> In Discover I click on Settings in the lower left, then More ... under the Settings graphic, Software Sources in the drop-down, enter your sudo password and click on the Other Software tab. If you see anything you do not like there just uncheck the box.
[20:00] <mparillo> Only worry is that if you have google chrome and google earth, they may share the same Software Source, and you will lose your chrome updates.
[20:12] <R13ose> I have 3/4 of my screen is white, how do I fix this?
[20:29] <R13ose> Any help with my question?
