=== red is now known as Guest17041 [04:18] hello [08:41] anybody? [14:00] Howdy folks === dirkhh_ is now known as dirkhh [16:17] hello? how i can start a hotspot using the network applet on Plasma desktop? i can see the hotspot in the connection editor but it doesn't appear on the network applet so i cannot start it [16:21] i am on ubuntu 17.10 and installed kubuntu-desktop from the ppa. I can start the hotspot normally from the network applet on a gnome session but cannot do the same from Plasma [16:26] code_, check for network-manager on plasma/terminal [16:27] also, make sure your plasma packages are up to date [16:53] hello, someone have a recomendation for a laptop with SSD, kubuntu and vm please? [16:53] I would to spend about 500 euro === james_ is now known as topace_ [17:20] obert_, we don't answer polls here, google is your friend [21:30] index [21:30] help info [22:59] is there much difference between installing kde on an existing ubuntu system and installing kubuntu outright? [23:03] BoneTone: I think so [23:03] when I've tried "installing over" I end up with gnomish artifacts all over the place [23:03] plus a bunch of apps I don't like [23:04] yeah, you'd have to go and change default apps, etc. but basically, it's just the DE & default apps that change, nothing missing from ability to run new hardware, etc.? [23:04] it certainly can be done successfully, but we test our ISO as it is [23:04] the core is the same [23:04] right, i mean, that's probably the direction I'm going, install the variation directly [23:05] you could probably do ubuntu-server + Plasma [23:05] that's what I thought, I just wanted to confirm [23:05] but still, I like our setup [23:05] and as I said, that's what we test [23:05] nah, no server, this is for an Intel NUC in the living room as a HTPC [23:06] basically debating between kubuntu and lubuntu at this point [23:07] i can't stand unity, especially for a htpc [23:07] lubuntu is certainly a good alternative [23:08] and if you don't want apps, you are essentially choosing between lxde and plasma [23:08] this isn't religion; choose what you want to work with [23:11] oh, yeah, no doubt, i use different environments on different machines, a couple different ones on the same machine sometimes even, just trying to figure out what my fiancee will like best in the living room [23:11] trying to make the htpc easiest for her [23:12] and mainly i wanted to confirm my understanding that kubuntu would still work with the hardware the same as ubuntu === jayhunold is now known as jhunold
