| bp0 | Hello, a few years ago I reported a bug in the kubuntu installer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1497149) and just recently a response was posted asking me to run `apport-collect 1497149`. How could I possibly do that? | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1497149 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "kubuntu 15.10 (through 18.04) installer allows minimizing installation window with no visible way to restore it" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 02:15 |
| krytarik | bp0: Exactly like that, in the environment the bugs occurs. | 02:18 |
| bp0 | Well, the environment is the kubuntu installer after selecting "install" instead of "try". There is nothing else but the install window, and if you minimize that, then there is nothing at all | 02:19 |
| bp0 | There is no terminal and not even any virtual terminals | 02:19 |
| bp0 | That is the bug | 02:19 |
| krytarik | That's a good question then indeed.. | 02:20 |
| krytarik | I'd suggest asking this on the bug report then. | 02:21 |
| === kubuntu is now known as LucasTwo | ||
| LucasTwo | I'm trying to install kubuntu right now and the installation bar has gone completely blank without info on my instal | 02:23 |
| LucasTwo | How do I check to make sure it isn't stuck? | 02:24 |
| LucasTwo | It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/WmJiDfD.png | 02:25 |
| krytarik | LucasTwo: Do you notice activity on the computer? Is it still responsive? | 02:28 |
| LucasTwo | never mind, it's started to have activity on the system monitor again | 02:29 |
| LucasTwo | it's strange how it pauses for 10-20 minutes at a time | 02:30 |
| valorie | LucasTwo: if you are moving a partition or so, it is a very slow process | 02:31 |
| valorie | because your data is checked and double-checked | 02:31 |
| valorie | before and after moving | 02:31 |
| valorie | before the next chunk can be done | 02:32 |
| LucasTwo | It's a fresh partition | 02:32 |
| valorie | hmmm, installing for me is really quick | 02:32 |
| valorie | I do lots of testing being the release manager | 02:33 |
| LucasTwo | also, can I expand my swap space post-install? I accidentally set it to 4 instead of 8 | 02:33 |
| valorie | I think so? | 02:33 |
| valorie | I've never messed with it | 02:33 |
| krytarik | !swap | 02:33 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 02:33 |
| LucasTwo | I should note that this isn't a poorly specced PC. It has a 6th gen i7 (desktop) and 16gb of ram | 02:34 |
| LucasTwo | so specs shouldnt be capping it | 02:34 |
| LucasTwo | That tutorial says I should use gparted to fix the swap partition, yet kubuntu doesn't have that | 02:36 |
| krytarik | LucasTwo: Also notice that you'll have to follow the instructions for the Swap *file* | 02:38 |

| LucasTwo | I was able to successfully install kubuntu 17.10, but now I'm having weird delays with apt-get | 05:18 |
| LucasTwo | It takes 5-10 minutes for apt-get to post reponses after a command like "apt-get update" and I have no idea why | 05:19 |
| LucasTwo | It was instantaneous on fedora and ubuntu because of my 100mbps up/down, so I have no idea what's happening here | 05:19 |
| krytarik | If internet access otherwise works fine, try picking a better repository mirror. | 05:21 |

| LucasTwo | yup, my ping to security.ubuntu.com was not successful | 05:31 |
| valorie | !permissions | @Manisha Sarap | 05:42 |

| personman_145 | I'm digging around now to see if I can find an option for it | 10:45 |

| petersaints | Is there any particular reason why KDE Applications 17.12 never got from the "Kubuntu Staging KDE Applications" (https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/beta?field.series_filter=artful) into the "Kubuntu Backports" from 17.10 (Artful). | 11:42 |

| BluesKaj | petersaints, a good question for the devs at #kubuntu-devel | 11:51 |
| petersaints | @BluesKaj I thought that #kubuntu-devel was only for 18.04 development. But I'll ask there anyway! | 11:59 |

| Cruelplatypus67 | hi | 13:28 |
| Cruelplatypus67 | i need some help | 13:28 |
| Cruelplatypus67 | If i download kbuntu 18.04 beta 2, will the future software updates get me to 18.04 stable or ill still be on beta channel? | 13:30 |
| acheronuk | Cruelplatypus67: there is no beta channel. there is only one Ubuntu main archive for packages the beta is just an iso build as a QA'd snapshot of the state of development. | 13:37 |
| Cruelplatypus67 | so | 13:37 |
| Cruelplatypus67 | if i use it | 13:37 |
| acheronuk | so yes, updates will come until all is frozen for release | 13:37 |
| Cruelplatypus67 | ill be able to apt upgrade it to 18.04 stable? | 13:37 |
| acheronuk | yes. it will keep upgrading packages until the archive is frozen for the stable release | 13:38 |

| nautilus1 | hi | 16:08 |
| nautilus1 | so, the lock screen | 16:08 |
| nautilus1 | how do i get that not to display all the porn i have open? | 16:08 |
| diogenes_ | lol | 16:09 |
| nautilus1 | serious concern and oversignt im in the doghouse for this :) | 16:09 |
| diogenes_ | simple solution don't store it on the pc | 16:12 |
| nautilus1 | if its locked, it should be safe :( | 16:13 |
| nautilus1 | but i cant find a setting to turn that off ? | 16:13 |
| _sharvey_ | Best tech support question this week. | 16:17 |

| * _sharvey_ opens a documentary about The Clash in VLC to test with | 16:20 | |
| _sharvey_ | I don't think there is a system solution besides remembering to close VLC :D | 16:26 |
| _sharvey_ | My question: can I bump up from 18.04b1 to 18.04b2 with "dist-upgrade"? | 16:26 |
| nautilus1 | _sharvey_: i just need to turn off where it displays that on the lock screen | 16:28 |
| nautilus1 | it doesnt even require the password to start playing it again ! | 16:29 |
| _sharvey_ | lol, you're in deep | 16:29 |
| _sharvey_ | I don't see any system setting to turn off the media player on the lock screen. Feel free to file a bug report / feature request on bugs.kde.org | 16:34 |
| nautilus1 | damn. | 16:34 |
| _sharvey_ | You might want to leave out the nature of the video ;) | 16:34 |
| _sharvey_ | But reporting/requesting it will get it forwarded to the people responsible for that component, and they'll determine if it can be implemented | 16:35 |

| _sharvey_ | So, does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade to 18.04 Beta 2 from Beta 1... without a total reinstall? | 17:17 |
| acheronuk | just update your system as normal. betas are just a snapshot in time or the state on the repo | 17:18 |
| acheronuk | *of the | 17:18 |
| _sharvey_ | acheronuk: I have a suspicion I'm missing a repository. | 17:33 |
| acheronuk | sudo apt install pastebinit | 17:39 |
| acheronuk | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 17:39 |
| acheronuk | and give us the link | 17:39 |
| _sharvey_ | https://paste.kde.org/pwxnxdt0a/fvmpot <- already done | 17:45 |
| acheronuk | that is password protected ^^^ | 17:46 |
| _sharvey_ | Not anymore. Doh. | 17:49 |
| acheronuk | I guess I am also talking to you on twitter! | 17:49 |
| _sharvey_ | Rik! | 17:50 |
| _sharvey_ | Sorry for double-asking | 17:50 |
| _sharvey_ | I still promise to say nice things about you | 17:51 |
| _sharvey_ | I'm having a rough day, it seems | 17:51 |
| acheronuk | right. that looks Ok I think. when did you you install the beta 1 and when did you last update packages? it may be that you are or were pretty much up to date anyway | 17:52 |
| acheronuk | what does 'apt-cache policy kubuntu-settings' give? | 17:54 |
| _sharvey_ | It says "N: Unable to locate package kubuntu-settings" (which I assume is a big part of the problem) | 17:58 |
| leonardo_ | some body nows how to install postgresql | 17:58 |
| obert | isn't postgres? | 17:59 |
| valorie | !info postgresql | 17:59 |
| ubottu | postgresql (source: postgresql-common (184ubuntu1.1)): object-relational SQL database (supported version). In component main, is optional. Version 9.6+184ubuntu1.1 (artful), package size 5 kB, installed size 61 kB | 17:59 |
| valorie | so either in discover, muon, etc or `sudo apt install postgresql` | 18:00 |
| valorie | leonardo_: ^^^ | 18:00 |
| acheronuk | _sharvey_: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? | 18:00 |
| acheronuk | lol | 18:00 |
| _sharvey_ | acheronuk: 'kubuntu-settings-desktop', however, gives some output | 18:02 |
| acheronuk | oh. my bad. I gave you the source package name! | 18:03 |
| _sharvey_ | Installed: 1:18.04ubuntu10 / Candidate: 1:18.04ubuntu10 | 18:03 |
| acheronuk | _sharvey_: ok. that does suggest you are pretty much up to date with kubuntu stuff then. there was no huge slew of new Kubuntu packages for the beta 2. lately we have been doing just a fix here, a fix there as we go | 18:05 |
| _sharvey_ | acheronuk: Okay, cool. I was expected a couple-hundred MB update. | 18:07 |
| _sharvey_ | *expecting | 18:07 |
| leonardo_ | thanks i installed postgresql sucessfully everybody | 18:07 |
| acheronuk | _sharvey_: nope. all the work was done in the lead up to the beta. :) | 18:07 |
| acheronuk | now is fixing and polishing | 18:08 |
| _sharvey_ | Nice to see Latte included. I installed it from your secret repo several times. | 18:08 |
| acheronuk | :) | 18:09 |
| _sharvey_ | And the new Kubuntu Product Manager is my official KDE mentor | 18:13 |
| acheronuk | yes? awesome. Nate is great | 18:13 |
| _sharvey_ | I asked him to recommend something for me to hack on today - he replied with a list | 18:14 |
| acheronuk | I bet! | 18:14 |
| VeryBewitching | I'd like to see Ubuntu use KDE as its default, anyone know of a petition or movement that's trying to lobby for this? | 18:14 |
| acheronuk | _sharvey_: I've been handed a few list ;) | 18:15 |
| _sharvey_ | VeryBewitching: I think that's the purpose of Kubuntu. Regular Ubuntu will stick with GNOME, so you have your choice. | 18:16 |
| VeryBewitching | I guess I'm of the mind that there should be Ubuntu and Gubuntu not Ubuntu and Kubuntu | 18:17 |
| acheronuk | no serious 'movement'. I think @TuxDigital mentions it on http://ubuntupodcast.org/2018/03/29/s11e04-the-sign-of-the-four/ | 18:18 |
| acheronuk | as he did a video on it | 18:18 |
| valorie | VeryBewitching: history is against Ubuntu switching at this point | 18:26 |
| valorie | as long as gnome is working | 18:26 |
| VeryBewitching | It seems that way. | 18:27 |
| VeryBewitching | Half of my shop installs Ubuntu on their desktop and I find GNOME to be inflexible for them; my CIO and I use Kubuntu and tend to be more productive as we can tool the desktop (and multiple activities) for our various uses. It'd be nice to only have to support one environment (I know that's partially a policy thing, but most developers will just default to the stock Ubuntu Desktop ISO) | 18:29 |
| VeryBewitching | At any rate, I was mostly curious if anyone was pushing for it. | 18:30 |

| pete__ | I clicked to upgrade the nvidia driver since the stupid notification came up | 21:45 |
| pete__ | I hate nvidia drivers and I hate how notifications are constantly coming up | 21:45 |
| pete__ | I'm buying an amd radeon card after this.... and it makes me really angry that I have to buy a new video card! | 21:46 |
| pete__ | i just want to remove everything nvidia and install the previous driver which was whatever was before...375, maybe? | 21:46 |
| pete__ | then I'll wait until the new card arrives | 21:46 |
| pete__ | I also get a message: "failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon.' | 21:47 |

| valorie | no, no | 21:49 |
| pete__ | I got a driver list.... it shows nvidia-375 and nvidia-384 | 21:50 |
| valorie | just use the driver manager | 21:50 |
| pete__ | I can't! I cannot log in! | 21:50 |
| pete__ | I can only boot into recovery mode | 21:50 |
| pete__ | My X shell is not working....it just flickers forever while booting | 21:50 |
| valorie | hmmm, sounds like a larger problem than just a driver | 21:50 |
| pete__ | it's the nvidia driver | 21:51 |
| pete__ | but, for some reason, I cannot delete/remove it | 21:51 |
| valorie | well, it hooks into the kernel | 21:51 |
| pete__ | i had no problem until version 384 was installed | 21:51 |
