[05:39] Hello! Please I lost my Ethernet connection after upgrading from Kubuntu 17.04 to Kubuntu 17.10. Your help will be greatly appreciated. [06:23] Hello Everyone! ~ Please I need your help with the following question: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/72621-No-Ethernet-Internet-Connection-After-Upgrading-To-Kubuntu-17-10 === gulzar is now known as Guest86325 [07:54] Well drat, just finally upgraded my main PC at home to 17.10 and now I can't actually log in via SDDM. [07:54] What happens? [07:55] Brief black screen, then I'm back at the login screen as if nothing happened. Happens if I try Plasma or Openbox (don't have anything else installed there at the moment) [07:57] keithzg[m]: are you the owner of ~/.Xauthority ? [07:57] hateball: yup, solely owned by my user, rw [07:58] Hmmm [07:58] keithzg[m]: anything in ~/.xsession-errors after you try loggin in? [07:59] Yeah I thought of iceauthority and xauthority too, had some problems in that with artful myself. [08:00] hateball: Yeah I was looking at .xsession-errors, tailing it as I tried logging in, nothing seemed immediately helpful; https://paste.kde.org/psgi55hak [08:01] Next up I suppose I should quickly create a new user to make sure whether or not it's my user configs somehow nonetheless [08:03] keithzg[m]: probably the quickest way to test at any rate [08:05] Well well well, testuser waltzed into a Plasma session just fine [08:07] afraid I don't know how to debug a plasma session [08:11] Well there's a clue in that Openbox can't log in either. Hrmmm. [08:12] Haha wait I restarted SDDM and now the theme is broken? Weird [08:12] it did show X errors tho [08:12] keithzg[m]: what driver/gpu ? [08:13] was thinking if you have nvidia-blob for instance, and some automatic settings with nvidia-settings that might break the session [08:14] AMD, using amdgpu—in theory, I wouldn't be surprised if things are screwy post-upgrade [08:15] I am unfamiliar with AMD so no idea there [08:15] But if it works with a fresh user... [08:15] That SDDM is visibly complaining that it can't find /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/Main.qml feels like it might be more the key here though . . . [08:15] Yeah the fresh user can't login now either after my sddm restart, oddly enough [08:16] I'm just gonna hit it with a hammer called kubuntu-desktop^ and see if that solves anything, heh, then dig in deeper if not [08:17] sddm-theme-breeze installed? [08:17] heh yeah that was far too many packages being installed right now that shouldn't have needed installation [08:17] acheronuk: it is now! (or will be momentarily, at least) [08:18] harrumph, well that fixed the SDDM theming issue but my login remains barred [08:20] Current .xsession-errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25909251/ [08:23] The test user can't log in either now, even though SDDM seems to be working, bizarre. [08:23] hmmm, XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP shouldnt be blank should it [08:24] pretty sure that XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP should be =KDE [08:27] Interesting [08:28] Back in the day, now is when I would have temporarily moved my .kde folder, heh [08:28] and that should be set by SDDM when you pick your session === michal- is now known as naraj [08:31] keithzg[m]: suppose you could try the solution here even if it is for 16.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/813544/graphical-components-stuck-on-kubuntu-16-04 [08:33] hateball: sadly that appears to have changed nothing :( [08:34] hmmm [08:35] Probably worth me poking around and commenting out some things in .profile and such, though, since it's clearly some sort of user config that's at issue here [08:38] Okay, so I moved my entire ~/.config folder and then plasma logged in. So it's something in there [08:40] I'm just going to go ahead and blame baloo here, even though that's probably entirely unfair ;) [08:43] hahaha wait if I try and launch firefox I get logged out? [08:44] That'll teach you [08:44] But it sure sounds like something got messed with your install [08:46] Yeah no kidding----happens with testuser too, so I think it's not so much that my old config was bad as it must be that my old config was doing extra stuff that happens to trigger whatever is failing [08:58] Hmm yaknow there are a ton of old amdgpu-pro packages still installed. I think it's time for a purge. [09:02] Yup, that did it! Everything appears to work fine now. I can even start up Firefox, if for some reason I wanted to :P [09:03] The lesson here is, as always, the problem is definitely whatever packages weren't installed from the repos :D [09:05] Hehe === cda is now known as cdaa === cdaa is now known as cda === cda is now known as cdaa === cdaa is now known as cart === cart is now known as cart05 [12:41] Hi folks === vlad__ is now known as DranikProgrammer [13:48] Morning BluesKaj [13:49] 'Morning ForceRecon [13:50] I got some sleep [13:50] woohoo [13:50] :-0 [13:50] err :-) [13:56] well that blows.. one of my remote machines updated teamviewer to the beta13 and now v12x won't connect to it and there will NOT be a Beta Outgoing only host for linux until final release..

[17:30] md process is utilizing max cpu. [18:29] Hello, all. I've been noticing for a while now that the loading spinning wheels on my installation spin super fast. I've no idea why this is happenning. Does anyone have a suggestion? [18:30] I mean the wheel that appears during Plasma's splash screen, or in the taskbar while an application is loading [18:34] Heyy [18:58] hello I have installed kubuntu [18:58] what is the GUI application to install packages? [18:58] used to be "muon" but [18:58] it says it is not installed [18:58] I have not found anything in the K menu or in the settings [18:58] what is the GUI app to install more packages? [19:01] alesan: Discover. [19:02] (Literally.) [19:06] krytarik, is there any reason in the past several years they have changed the name of this central piece of software three times? [19:07] I do not have "Discover" installed apparently. [19:07] What version are you on? [19:07] hm [19:07] how do I find out for sure? [19:08] !version [19:08] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [19:08] 17.04 [19:08] oh maybe it's not the latest? [19:08] It's not, no. [19:09] well it's not ancient either [19:09] however, what was the GUI package manager in 17.04 [19:11] Huh, apparently Discover is not the default one in either, and while Muon is in 17.10, there seems to be none in 17.04 - iirc there was some issue with it during that cycle. [19:19] ok so what do you suggest? === h is now known as Guest92487 [19:22] Actually, the package name of Discover is "plasma-discover", and it's there by default in both versions. [19:25] alesan: If you don't see it for some reason, just do: "sudo apt install plasma-discover" [19:25] we have to use plasma-discover as there is already a package called discover in the archives - https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/discover [19:25] Yes, just noticed that too. :D [19:27] why not "kdiscover" or "kpackagemanager" so that normal users can figure this out? [19:28] Plasma is the desktop, so I guess it's fine. [19:28] we closely work with Debian and they have a naming policy [19:29] the application and project name is discover [19:29] https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/ [19:30] I never quite understood what "plasma" is and why it's necessary. I wish I could go back to "base" KDE :) [19:30] plasma is the desktop environment [19:30] but with the dual-monitor autodetection :D [19:31] base KDE is what we call Frameworks or KF5 [19:31] so we have different tiers [19:32] Qt > Frameworks > Plasma > KDE Applications [19:32] on top of Ubuntu system [19:33] kinfocenter will tell you what you have installed currently [19:43] Claudio Rossi was added by: Claudio Rossi === sithlord48 is now known as rizzitello === Rob is now known as Guest16417 [23:48] systemd[1]: apt-daily.timer: Adding 7h 52min 6.288137s random time.
