[00:34] <SeanFromQueens> Anyone actually participating here?
[00:35] <Fritigern> SeanFromQueens: If you can boot into a terminal (text mode), you may be able to manually run an update.
[00:36] <SeanFromQueens> how does one boot into terminal?
[00:37] <SeanFromQueens> Can I assume doing anything (changing grub boot order & copying the profile directories from the Kubuntu partition) from the Windows session is moot and undoable?
[00:37] <Fritigern> wait, other idea. If you manage to get to the desktop, hit CTRL+ALT+F1, this will put you in a terminal (TTY1), you can then switch back to graphics mode with CTRL+ALT+F7
[00:38] <Fritigern> First you will need a system that does not freeze, and updating the system MIGHT help, but i can;t guarantee anything
[00:39] <SeanFromQueens> hopefully it doesn't freeze while in terminal mode, so that I can do the update and get back to GUI mode.
[00:39] <Fritigern> Once you are in terminal mode, enter "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" (without quotes of course), this will download and install all available updates.
[00:41] <SeanFromQueens> the double && allows for multiple commands at a time, right?
[00:42] <Fritigern> Yup, that is correct
[00:42] <SeanFromQueens> Fritigern: How about being able to do anything from Windows session?
[00:42] <Fritigern> sudo apt update will retrieve a list of updated packages, and sudo apt full-upgrade downloads and installs those packages
[00:43] <SeanFromQueens> Is retrieving app profiles and reordering grub boot order, just a bridge too far?
[00:43] <Fritigern> I don;t know if anything *is* possible from Windows. It all depends on how you have installed Kubuntu, if that's on an image or a separate partition, and if you have a shared partition with one of the filesystems that Wondows supports.
[00:44] <Fritigern> Please ignore my typos. As funny as they may seem, they are not deliberate
[00:44] <SeanFromQueens> separate partitions
[00:45] <Fritigern> Windows has no support for Ext4 file systems, which is what (K)Ubuntu uses by default. So you may have to get into Kubuntu first before you can mofe stuff around
[00:45] <SeanFromQueens> But while I'm running Kubuntu (or when I could run it without it freezing up) I could access the Windows partition
[00:46] <Fritigern> Yes, Linux supports many different file systems, but Windows does not. Windows only cares about itself :-)
[00:46] <SeanFromQueens> I guess Kubuntu can access FAT16 or FAT32, but it doesn't work the other way around
[00:46] <Fritigern> exactly
[00:46] <Fritigern> Linux can also access NTFS partitions
[00:47] <SeanFromQueens> NTFS partitions, what's that?
[00:48] <Fritigern> NTFS is what Windows uses as a default since Windows Xp
[00:48] <SeanFromQueens> Learn something new every day, thanks Fritigern
[00:51] <Fritigern> And I have just learned something as well. I figured that since it has been ages since I've used windows, that perhaps there have been new developments on their filesystem support. And wouldn;t you know it, I have just read the following: " Recently released ReFS file system was developed by Microsoft as a new generation file system for Windows 8 Servers."
[00:52] <Fritigern> This is where I've read this. http://www.ufsexplorer.com/und_fs.php#windows
[00:58] <SeanFromQueens> Thanks I guess I've got to go and try this out
[01:15] <Fritigern> valorie: Here's a new paste showing me first doing apt full-upgrade, then apt install wine-stable which I decline, then a full-upgrade again. This to show that my system IS fully up to date, and still wine would cause a crapload of stuff to be uninstalled. http://paste.ubuntu.com/26151115/
[01:33] <SeanFromQueens> Fritigern: I'm back, that sudo apt update and full-upgrade commands (I entered the correct commands) gave a lot of 404 not found errors as the packages scrolled down the screen
[01:36] <SeanFromQueens> then the system responded with advice to apt-get update and  apt-get update --fix-missing
[01:37] <SeanFromQueens> neither fixed the freezing system problem, I guess I'm going to have to scrap it and reinstall wiping out the settings and profiles that I had
[01:58] <valorie> SeanFromQueens: do you have some PPAs mixed in there or something?
[01:59] <valorie> unless your connections are dodgy, there should be no 404s
[06:18] <Leevancleef> Kubuntu Live USB failed to load Plasma and GUI hung on the error window. I've switched to TTY2 to poweroff, but it's asking me for a password
[06:19] <Leevancleef> Anybody know the login info for the Live CD/USB?
[06:19] <Leevancleef> 17.10
[06:37] <Leevancleef> Live USB worked fine upon restart. Attempting install lol
[06:37] <Leevancleef> I've never seen an OpenGL failure in a Live CD like that before.
[10:10] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:53] <Guest6856> hola
[11:06] <Lux80> Hallo, muss man etwas beachten, wenn man den GNOME-Software-Center anstelle von Discover haben möchte?
[17:26] <Crell> Hi folks. I've a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen running 17.10, with a Thunderbolt dock. The dock *was* working properly. However, for unknown reasons it's now not connecting any data. Just power. No ethernet, no video, no USB, nothing. I did not change any settings. Best I've found via Google is this: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/ThunderBolt-3-Dockingstation-and-Linux/td-p/3671481 - However, I already have TBolt security

[21:49] <To24> Very nice :-)
