 relevant for https://phabricator.kde.org/T8177
 Excellent. I have 2 hidpi units and I am patiently waiting for the wayland scaling fixes.
 uncle.  Even after running "sudo dpkg —purge —force-all apt", and copying an 18.04 version of "apt" from  /var/cache/apt/archives of another machine, dpkg -i aptxxx.deb still hangs without any messages.  Must be missing depends, but eliphino which ones it needs.
 Install is almost complete (but way less satisfying than solving the broken puzzle). :)
[05:51] <DarinMiller> anyone tried connecting a network from 18.04 recovery prompt?
[05:52] <DarinMiller> Adding nameserver x.x.x.x to /etc/resolv.conf no longer works....
[05:52] <valorie> DarinMiller: you might try #ubuntu+1
[05:52] <valorie> I doubt kubuntu controls that recovery bit
[05:53] <DarinMiller> tried there, but on Saturday night, nobody was home.
[05:53] <valorie> yeah
[05:54] <DarinMiller> Recovery with systemd became a whole lot harder.... and documentation is quite scattered.
[05:56] <valorie> :(
 Figured it out.
 What was it?
 Create  /run/systemd/resolve/
 Ahhhhhhhh
 There you go
 then echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" into it and bob's your uncle.
 \o/
 touchpad in wayland works way better than in xorg.   xorg used to have a fallback driver that sometimes worked better than the default, so I uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-libinput hoping for better performance.  Instead, it killed all input (keyboard, touchscreen and mouse) so I could not even ctrl-alt-f1 to reinstall.
[06:20] <valorie> please blog about this!
[06:20] <valorie> so people find out about it
[06:20] <valorie> oh ugh
 Do you have a recommended blog site?
[06:34] <IrcsomeBot2> <Lazy B> libinput isn't installed by default, is it? you still should have evdev, I think
[06:34] <valorie> if you already have a github you can make one there
[06:34] <valorie> https://pages.github.com/
[06:35] <valorie> popular place for tech-savvy people
[06:36] <valorie> I personally use blogger, some like wordpress
 evdev was not installed by default.  Installing now to give it a spin.
 checking out the gh video now....
 Save the days events to my intro to Linux wiki site until I find a blog option: https://sites.google.com/site/bcelinux/classroom-news/failedupgradelearningevents
 nite all.
[07:17] <valorie> cool
[07:17] <valorie> niters
[07:17] <tsimonq2> *kool
 guy on kubuntu forums/Neon TG (Charles/Vinny) just upgraded 17.10+backports to 18.04, with no apt issues
 KQool
 so did not get what Darin did

[11:56] <santa_> good morning

 @DarinMiller, That does work. Use it a lot.
 @ahoneybun, Did you see my comments regarding the changes necessary enable nameserver in bionic? A better way might exist, but creating the missing path and populating the stub file worked as intended.
 It's a symlink and it works fine for me without doing that
 Just adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 and it works for recovery mode.
 in bionic, the path/file is not created when dropping to root in recovery mode even if enable network was selected from the recovery menu.  So the name server cannot be added until the path/file exist.
