[06:58] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:12] <s_t_e_v_e[m]> hi. why does kubuntu keep bothering me to install insecure flash? https://imgur.com/a/GqkJU
[09:16] <acheronuk> s_t_e_v_e[m]: untick this https://i.imgur.com/3LLaIqZ.png
[09:17] <acheronuk> in 18.04, that nag will be gone
[09:24] <s_t_e_v_e[m]> when is 18.04 due? sounds like a sane design decision long overdue acheronuk
[09:25] <acheronuk> s_t_e_v_e[m]: due on April 26th
[09:27] <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?
[09:31] <acheronuk> if you tick the install 3rd party software box it will be. but that message will not happen if you remove it
[09:35] <s_t_e_v_e[m]> well installing a video player may be a good default. installing flash def is not.
[09:43] <s_t_e_v_e[m]> and it's all about defaults, since the majority of humans goes with the defaults
[09:44] <acheronuk> s_t_e_v_e[m]: we will review that decision before release. thanks for the input
[11:16] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:23] <ze_> hello. can I ask for help here?
[13:25] <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!
[13:41] <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.
[13:44] <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.

[13:45] <zxq9> https://askubuntu.com/questions/913732/wifi-isnt-working-in-new-installation-of-ubuntu
[13:57] <ze_> zxq9: how can i find the model?
[14:03] <ze_> zxq9: I've sent you some personal messages with all the info
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <ze_> hateball: sorry, I didn't want to flood the channel
[14:20] <hateball> !paste | ze_
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <ze_> hateball: yes! the wireless key is red and I cannot activate it here in kubuntu
[14:25] <ze_> hateball: that command returns YES to Soft blocked and Hard blocked
[14:26] <ze_> hateball: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nCf3P3BZwW/
[14:26] <ze_> how do I unblock the wi-fi key of my HP laptop?
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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).
[14:29] <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/
[14:30] <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?
[14:31] <ze_> hateball: I'm currently conencting this machine to an internet wire
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <hateball> ze_: if you run "ubuntu-drivers devices" by itself, it should list the wifi chipset and what package it thinks needs installing
[14:34] <ze_> hateball: ok. It's cooking...
[14:38] <hateball> ze_: after the needed packages have been installed, you need to reboot for the modules to load
[14:47] <hateball> ze_: any luck?
[14:57] <ze_> hateball: yes! All it's working! Thank you so much!!!!!
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <benvantende[m]> +1
[15:00] <hateball> Aww :)
[15:00] <hateball> I feel all warm and fuzzy
[15:00] <zxq9> Hehe. See, that's the real point system.
[15:01] <benvantende[m]> Community Rocks!

[17:06] <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"
[17:07] <aversario> how do I make this persistent across reboots?
[17:09] <aversario> Otherwise I am happy with Kubuntu, you guys are making a great OS
[18:55] <lordievader> HaxYT: depends on what you want to do. I'd like to type in vim. But others prefer a gui text editor.
[19:09] <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?

[19:37] <Perigee> It's been a while, but I believe /etc/modules
[19:38] <Perigee> oh wait, you're just re-loading psmouse
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <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
[20:54] <aversario> Perigee, tnx, I'll try
[20:54] <aversario> genii tnx

[23:48] <Alex-Zion> Hi everyone, I have a Dell XPS 15z running Kubuntu 14.04.5 and I have a strange problem on boot, sometimes and just sometime instead of the splash screen I get a black screen and it seems to be a quite random problem, someone has an idea on how to fix it ?
[23:49] <Alex-Zion> and when I get the black screen it doesn't start at all
