slicktuxHello all, question; If I do not install the LTS Kubuntu what happens when I reach the date for which security, or support, stops? Can I update to a new version semmlessly; that is through an update; if so what is the point of LTS vs regular??01:18

lordievaderGood morning07:10
proteus-guyI had to rebuild my kubuntu 14.04 setup. Did a fresh install then restored my home directory from a recent backup. Unfortunately it made it where "System Settings" doesn't even try to start working. Anyone know the command line for that program so I can try it in a terminal to see what, if any, error message it creates? Otherwise - any idea how to restore that icon in my menu to work again?07:36

lordievaderproteus-guy: `systemsettings5`08:40
proteus-guylordievader, thanx - that's the (remarkably obvious yet unexpected) answer. Seems to work when run as sudo from command line. No idea why my icons are busted.08:42
lordievaderPerhaps the permissions of your homefolder are screwed up.08:44
lordievader`sudp chown <username>:<username> -R /home/<username>`08:44
lordievaderErr `sudo`* ofcourse 😉08:47
proteus-guylordievader, nope that's not it. Frustrating you can't just right click and icon and check it's properties to see what it's pointing to.08:48
lordievaderWhat you could do is drop to a tty. Stop sddm. Then move/rename `~/.config`. Start sddm. Log in. If things work at that point you can start moving things from `~/.config` back one by one.08:50
lordievaderThat way, if it breaks, you know which folder/config is the culprit.08:51
proteus-guylordievader, thanx. I will investigate that option. Appreciate the insights.08:52

BluesKajHowdy folks10:53
zxq9ooc, anyone have any idea if Konqueror is basically dead as a development project, or if there are any plans to make it more fully HTML5 compliant?13:14
lordievaderThe konqueror on github has commits in February this year. So I don't think it is entirely dead.13:19

ubottuuser|11963: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information.14:19

BluesKaj!nomodeset | Frederick14:25
ubottuFrederick: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter14:25

slicktuxHello all, I've been trying to install Kubuntu with no success; I'm installing it on a brand new samsung 850 SSD; Everytime I install the installer exits with success and it's not until I reboot the system that I get the grub rescue error; I've looked up the grub rescue error and a lot of the fixes require one to mount the boot partition to /mnt and manually install grub; progblem is I cannot install19:54
slicktuxgrub manually because it seems the installer is only partitioning sda1 and that is it . .19:54
slicktuxI'm starting to think that it may be an issue with my SSD but I thought I'd come here and see if there was a common problem . .19:55
slicktuxThis sucks.19:55
