[05:51] <michaelh_> hi, anyone can hemp me find out why I Cannot install libsdl2-dev https://gist.github.com/MichaelHabib/4f13c994232799d09e477b41660d35a8
[05:52] <michaelh_> when trying to install I get  E: Unable to locate package libsdl2-dev   this is on kubuntu 17.04
[06:04] <valorie> michaelh_: you are on a no-longer-supported version
[06:04] <valorie> !eol
[06:04] <valorie> see the second link there
[06:25] <michaelh_> @valorie so with eol  I can't even download existing software !
[06:26] <valorie> probably not
[06:26] <valorie> I mean, that's a major part of support
[06:26] <valorie> eol means no support
[06:26] <valorie> that's why *buntu has an LTS every other year
[06:27] <valorie> for those who don't want to upgrade all the time
[06:28] <valorie> any reason you don't want Artful/17.10?
[06:28] <valorie> i've been running it for nearly a year, and it's great
[06:33] <valorie> michaelh_: ^^
[06:35] <michaelh_> @valorie I just started the upgrade, but I always thought I would still be able to access/download software that was available.
[06:35] <valorie> the point of eol is that it is no longer available
[06:35] <valorie> they waited a few extra days as it was
[06:36] <valorie> there is more work to putting out an LTS, which the next one is
[06:36] <valorie> the resources and time go there, not to an eol version

[11:20] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:49] <dimi344> Hi, updated to nvidia 387. On boot "press ctrl-C to cancel" flashes and then it only displays the splash screen. Did the following:
[11:50] <dimi344> Tried nomodeset, same. Safe mode and fschk, system hangs. Boot from a live usb mounted some partitions seemed fine
[11:54] <BluesKaj> dimi344, which update method, system setings>driver manager?
[11:55] <dimi344> No, I first removed the older driver and then install cuda which included 387
[11:55] <dimi344> *installed
[11:57] <dimi344> I'm thinking of commenting out of fstab every other disk other than swap / and home. Currently checking these partitions just in case. Is there any way to disable the disk check on startup?
[12:10] <dimi344> Removed 387 and can boot. Any help regarding cuda and nvidia-387?
[12:17] <BluesKaj> dimi344, cuda can be enabled in systemsettings>dribver manager nvidia-3XX
[12:38] <userRGasuseeepc> How to install KUBUNTU 16.0.4 Desktop using a Windows type installer of on Windows 7 without partition the disk, for example WUBI ?, but can not find Wubi now
[12:39] <Borw3> wubi got deprecated :(
[12:40] <Borw3> but use virtual box
[12:41] <lordievader> Thank god Wubi is deprecated.
[12:42] <lordievader> userRGasuseeepc: Apart from running Ubuntu as a VM there are no options of running it inside Windows.
[13:21] <userRGasuseeepc> ok thanks , I will try virtual box
[13:45] <titou> i'm using a 2-in-2 laptop and i installed gnome on it. it well recognized its touchscreen and adapted the desktop unfortunately i have big troubles with caribou virtual keyboard...
[13:45] <titou> the virtual keyboard always appears on the screen when I touch it (this could be interesting when the laptop is in tablet mode (ie. without physical keyboard)). Moreover I cannot configure caribou (its layout), meta keys don't work etc. so is it possible to use another virtual keyboard? I didn't succeed to replace it with another one (for instance onboard)
[13:46] <titou> and is there a solution to temporaly disable virtual kyeboard when a physical keyboard is plugged or maybe throuh a button in the task bar?
[13:48] <BluesKaj> titou, ask in #ubuntu about gnome, this is kubuntu/kde/plasma support
[13:48] <titou> sorry.. I missed the "k"
[14:40] <TBotNik> All: Cannot get the "recently used" and "recently installed" to show on my laptop machine. I used a HOWTO that let me edit the options in a config file, but can no longer find that HOWTO. I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS
[19:12] <new> how does this os work on older hardware
[19:12] <new> ?
[19:15] <user|72633> would this work on a dell precision m4800?
[19:18] <user|72633> would this work on a dell precision m4800?

[19:46] <els> Hey everyone! I am new with using Kubuntu and have just noticed a problem with my headphone jack. Namely that vocals are strongly reduced while background sound plays normally. Built-in stereo is fine. I work on a macbook air from 2011. Anyone any suggestions?
[19:54] <BluesKaj> els, crank up the volume in alsamixer in the terminal
[19:56] <els> blueskaj, it did not help sadly :(
[19:57] <EvilRoey> BluesKaj: hola! good day, long time no see!
[19:58] <BluesKaj> ok, now  try the volume ctrl on your KB , els
[19:58] <BluesKaj> Hey EvilRoey
[19:59] <BluesKaj> els, or install pavucontrol
[20:01] <els> BLuesKaj volume ctrl did not work, will now try installing pavucontrol
[20:03] <els> BluesKaj, pavucontrol seems to already be installed. Vocals are a little bit louder but still very faint
[20:03] <BluesKaj> els, there are are more than one vol ctrl in alsamixer , for example line and master and pcm
[20:04] <els> BluesKaj, I have tried all of them, nothing helped
[20:07] <BluesKaj> the n  pavucontrol is tyour last resort unless the player you are using has it's volume turned down
[20:12] <els> BluesKaj, pavucontrol was the key. It works now, thank you!
[20:14] <BluesKaj> np
[20:18] <Guest23058> hi
[20:19] <Guest23058> I've just upgraded Ubuntu to 17.10 and I'm having this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ki3RJLQyE4&feature=youtu.be
[20:20] <Guest23058> I already had this problem with 17.04; after an update it disappeared and now it's back
[20:23] <BluesKaj> Guest23058, just describe your issue as simpy as possible...posting youtube videos takes too long
[20:23] <Ab3L> hello. how do i set default values for guest users in kubuntu 16.04 ? for example, i need to set swiss keyboard layout, wifi setting (included password) and printer. but each time i reboot every setting is erased.
[20:27] <Guest23058> BluesKaj: nevermind, I've just found a workaround: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/69827/bug-with-blender-the-ui-to-be-more-specific-weird-stuttering-and-glitches
[20:27] <Guest23058> however, what do you mean by "posting youtube videos takes too long"?
[20:29] <BluesKaj> to view
[20:30] <BluesKaj> Guest23058, some of us are helping in several chat simultaneously
[20:30] <LAGonauta> I am on Kubuntu 17.10 with the backports ppa enabled... I had to install VirtualBox and now my login is very slow after SDDM when using Plasma (50 seconds stuck on the SDDM screen with my * password), but is very fast with Plasma (Wayland), as it should be. I am not sure if my VirtualBox install is the reason, but seems to have started just after installing it.
[20:30] <LAGonauta> Anyone else saw that problem before?
[20:36] <BluesKaj> LAGonauta, waylnd was slow and ponderouswith nvidia nouveau here, and no vm installed so it's hard to know
[20:42] <memphisto> LAGonauta: create another account a log into KDE; check the difference
[20:54] <LAGonauta> memphisto: already did that, same problem :/
[20:55] <LAGonauta> BluesKaj: I am actually using my Intel iGPU as for some reason nvidia's proprietary does not load with my kernel, and nouveau vsync is not as good as Intel's.
[20:58] <memphisto> LAGonauta: since it's not your user settings it has to be something with KDE X11; but what...
[21:00] <LAGonauta> Just found out the problem... In a way it was a problem with VirtualBox, and my ignorance. I had mistakenly installed VirtualBox's guest dkms packages. I just had to uninstall them and now everything is working fine again. Thanks for the help :)
[21:02] <LAGonauta> Now I need to find out why I cannot see the user that I just created on the user manager panel, but is shown on SDDM... :P
[21:02] <memphisto> linux
[23:16] <mparillo> Could it be this? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336994
[23:22] <valorie> mparillo: that is an interesting read
[23:47] <mparillo> valorie: I suspect that the most recent post (migrated user below 1000) is an edge case. Too many people have experienced this and many times more (including me) have created bugs around user administration and SDDM avatars that have been marked as duplicates of this.
[23:52] <valorie> oh, I think so too
[23:52] <valorie> the devels seem a bit baffled
