| s_t_e_v_e[m] | hi. why does kubuntu keep bothering me to install insecure flash? https://imgur.com/a/GqkJU | 09:12 |
| acheronuk | s_t_e_v_e[m]: untick this https://i.imgur.com/3LLaIqZ.png | 09:16 |
| acheronuk | in 18.04, that nag will be gone | 09:17 |
| s_t_e_v_e[m] | when is 18.04 due? sounds like a sane design decision long overdue acheronuk | 09:24 |
| acheronuk | s_t_e_v_e[m]: due on April 26th | 09:25 |
| s_t_e_v_e[m] | ok, getting there :) thx for helping me out and good luck with the release. will flash no longer be installed when first installing 18.04? | 09:27 |
| acheronuk | if you tick the install 3rd party software box it will be. but that message will not happen if you remove it | 09:31 |
| s_t_e_v_e[m] | well installing a video player may be a good default. installing flash def is not. | 09:35 |
| s_t_e_v_e[m] | and it's all about defaults, since the majority of humans goes with the defaults | 09:43 |
| acheronuk | s_t_e_v_e[m]: we will review that decision before release. thanks for the input | 09:44 |

| ze_ | hello. can I ask for help here? | 13:23 |
| ze_ | I'm in a HP laptop, and the wireless is nor working. I've searched the internet and followed some steps, but the problem remains. Can anybody help me to activate the wireless of my laptop? thanks! | 13:25 |
| zxq9 | What laptop? | 13:41 |
| zxq9 | ze_: Which model, I mean. If you happen to know the model of wifi card and your current ubuntu/kubuntu version it would be especially helpful. | 13:41 |
| === nicola_ is now known as niqt | ||
| zxq9 | Typically you need to figure out the model of your card, see if you can find it with a command like `lshw -C network`, and then if there is a driver available for it. | 13:44 |
| zxq9 | Usually there is a driver and it is already active, but something silly about configuration is wrong. | 13:44 |

| zxq9 | https://askubuntu.com/questions/913732/wifi-isnt-working-in-new-installation-of-ubuntu | 13:45 |
| ze_ | zxq9: how can i find the model? | 13:57 |
| ze_ | zxq9: I've sent you some personal messages with all the info | 14:03 |
| ze_ | restarted PC, still having the same problems :( | 14:19 |
| hateball | ze_: sending a PM doesnt really let anyone else help | 14:19 |
| hateball | !pm | 14:19 |

| hateball | ze_: and make sure it isnt soft blocked, usually HP has a fn+something or a dedicated key to turn wifi on/off | 14:22 |
| hateball | ze_: "rfkill list" will show the status | 14:22 |
| ze_ | hateball: yes! the wireless key is red and I cannot activate it here in kubuntu | 14:23 |
| ze_ | hateball: that command returns YES to Soft blocked and Hard blocked | 14:25 |
| ze_ | hateball: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nCf3P3BZwW/ | 14:26 |
| ze_ | how do I unblock the wi-fi key of my HP laptop? | 14:26 |
| hateball | ze_: can you also paste from "lspci -k" ? and from "lsusb" | 14:27 |
| hateball | we want to make sure the driver is actually loaded first, that should solve the hard block | 14:27 |
| zxq9 | ze_: Very sorry for not sticking with you just now. It is very late here and I have a project call before bed. hateball is checking exactly what I would -- clearly knows what is going on. I do not know details about HP, but softblock is a common feature that can become a surprise problem (with wifi and with builtin touchpad mouse). | 14:28 |
| ze_ | hateball: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RXkD5TnC25/ | 14:29 |
| zxq9 | I'll keep this open and check back in the morning just in case. I hope you get your issue resolved. You are already very close, actually. o/ | 14:29 |
| ze_ | zxq9: no problem mate! work with focus, go to bed, sleep healthy and dream big ;) | 14:30 |
| hateball | ze_: do you have a wired connection with this machine? | 14:30 |
| ze_ | hateball: I'm currently conencting this machine to an internet wire | 14:31 |
| ze_ | hateball: I hope that answer your question... or maybe I didn't undertood it well | 14:32 |
| hateball | ze_: as all you should really need to do is have a working internet connection, then run "sudo apt update && sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" and it should pull in the blobs needed for the broadcom chipset | 14:32 |
| hateball | ze_: if you run "ubuntu-drivers devices" by itself, it should list the wifi chipset and what package it thinks needs installing | 14:33 |
| ze_ | hateball: ok. It's cooking... | 14:34 |
| hateball | ze_: after the needed packages have been installed, you need to reboot for the modules to load | 14:38 |
| hateball | ze_: any luck? | 14:47 |
| ze_ | hateball: yes! All it's working! Thank you so much!!!!! | 14:57 |
| hateball | :) | 14:58 |
| zxq9 | hateball: Just checking back before bed. Awesome. Thanks for helping that guy out. | 14:58 |

| zxq9 | (if this bot has happy points...) | 14:58 |
| hateball | :D | 14:58 |
| hateball | It has not, to my knowledge | 14:58 |
| zxq9 | Anyway, you know how the real points work in this community. That was badass anyway. Will remember your handle. | 14:58 |
| benvantende[m] | +1 | 14:59 |
| hateball | Aww :) | 15:00 |
| hateball | I feel all warm and fuzzy | 15:00 |
| zxq9 | Hehe. See, that's the real point system. | 15:00 |

| aversario | hi, I have Kubuntu 17.10 on my old HP Compaq laptop | 17:06 |
| aversario | to get the touchpad work correctly, I have to do "sudo modprobe -r psmouse" and "sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps" | 17:06 |
| aversario | how do I make this persistent across reboots? | 17:07 |
| aversario | Otherwise I am happy with Kubuntu, you guys are making a great OS | 17:09 |
| lordievader | HaxYT: depends on what you want to do. I'd like to type in vim. But others prefer a gui text editor. | 18:55 |
| wxl | so running xenial i've thrice now returned to my machine only to find it frozen. last time i kept top running and sddm-greeter was hogging something like 70% of the memory, at least before it froze. is this a known issue? i can't necessarily find anything about it but maybe someone knows something? | 19:09 |

| Perigee | It's been a while, but I believe /etc/modules | 19:37 |
| Perigee | oh wait, you're just re-loading psmouse | 19:38 |
| Perigee | You might be able to pass that via GRUB in /etc/default/grub. Edit the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="psmouse.proto=imps" | 19:40 |
| Perigee | then run sudo update-grub | 19:40 |
| Perigee | Or, you can create a psmouse.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ | 19:41 |
| Perigee | with options psmouse proto=imps in it | 19:41 |
| Perigee | The latter will probably work | 19:41 |
| genii | Just put the option in /etc/modules | 19:42 |
| Perigee | Here's an old askubuntu post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/127757/how-do-i-make-modprobe-changes-permanent | 19:42 |
| aversario | Perigee, tnx, I'll try | 20:54 |
