[14:56] <snafu_> Hello there. I'd like to report the download page at installation image testing website appears to have broken links (from manual browsing, looks like they're missing /artful after /xubuntu). Specifically, this one: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/385/builds/164207/downloads (others could be affected, but this one surely is)
[20:22] <xiz> hi am install kde plasma on ubuntu. but getting this "56% [Waiting for headers]"
[20:22] <xiz> even when my internet is working
[20:22] <xiz> on the same machine
[20:23] <xiz> anyone?
[20:23] <xiz> it is stuck there
[20:24] <well_laid_lawn> it is hard to see from here what the issue might be
[20:24] <well_laid_lawn> try stopping it and restarting
[20:26] <xiz> well_laid_lawn: then, will it re-download whatever has already been done?
[20:26] <well_laid_lawn> shouldn't do
[20:26] <xiz> Err:444 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 libqt5help5 amd64 5.6.1-2build1~~xenialoverlay1~1   Connection failed 56% [Waiting for headers]                            56% [Waiting for headers]                            56% [Waiting for headers] Err:445 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 python3-pyqt5 amd64 5.5.1+dfsg-3ubuntu5~xenialoverlay11~1   Connection failed 
[20:30] <xiz> well_laid_lawn: tried stopping and starting it again
[20:30] <xiz> 56% [Waiting for headers]                                          34.5 MB/s 4s 56% [Waiting for headers]                                                       56% [Waiting for headers] 56% [Waiting for headers]
[20:30] <xiz> still stuck, well_laid_lawn
[20:31] <xiz> what to do?
[20:32] <well_laid_lawn> all I can suggest is waiting for a bit then trying again - or file a bug
[20:32] <well_laid_lawn> !bug

[22:35] <Maturion> hi, i'm running Xubuntu on my notebook. I recently installed Cinnamon. However, it seems like Cinnamon drains my battery like shit. I have like 6 hours with Xfce and only 90 minutes on Cinnamon. Is this normal?
