[02:15] <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?
[02:18] <krytarik> bp0: Exactly like that, in the environment the bugs occurs.
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <krytarik> That's a good question then indeed..
[02:21] <krytarik> I'd suggest asking this on the bug report then.
[02:23] <LucasTwo> I'm trying to install kubuntu right now and the installation bar has gone completely blank without info on my instal
[02:24] <LucasTwo> How do I check to make sure it isn't stuck?
[02:25] <LucasTwo> It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/WmJiDfD.png
[02:28] <krytarik> LucasTwo: Do you notice activity on the computer?  Is it still responsive?
[02:29] <LucasTwo> never mind, it's started to have activity on the system monitor again
[02:30] <LucasTwo> it's strange how it pauses for 10-20 minutes at a time
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <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
[02:36] <LucasTwo> That tutorial says I should use gparted to fix the swap partition, yet kubuntu doesn't have that
[02:38] <krytarik> LucasTwo: Also notice that you'll have to follow the instructions for the Swap *file*
[05:18] <LucasTwo> I was able to successfully install kubuntu 17.10, but now I'm having weird delays with apt-get
[05:19] <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
[05:21] <krytarik> If internet access otherwise works fine, try picking a better repository mirror.
[05:22] <LucasTwo> I'll try that in a moment
[05:27] <LucasTwo> It always gets stuck on "security.ubuntu.com"
[05:27] <valorie> LucasTwo: these days we usually use just `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade`
[05:28] <LucasTwo> I think my apt-get might be corrupted or something, becuase I never have this issue on WSL
[05:31] <LucasTwo> yup, my ping to security.ubuntu.com was not successful

[06:23] <somenick> hi, I am getting very frustrated with this. Everytime I go and try to get Kubuntu to suspend, it immediately turns back on again. I have no idea what keeps waking up the laptop.
[06:24] <somenick> it is a Lenovo W530
[07:01] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:40] <undeclared> hey all, I have an HD 5450 on 17.10, what GPU driver do I get? Documentation is quite confusing
[10:31] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[10:44] <zaapiel> hi
[10:44] <personman_145> heya
[10:44] <zaapiel> how do you turn off the auto logoff
[10:45] <zaapiel> ab9uot every 15 minutes it kicks me out of my kubuntu and takes me to a login
[10:45] <zaapiel> how do you disable that
[10:45] <personman_145> I'm digging around now to see if I can find an option for it
[10:48] <zaapiel> yeah i don't see one
[10:48] <zaapiel> no matter as long as the applications run in the background after it locks the screen
[10:48] <personman_145> found it. System Setting - desktop behavior - Screen locking?
[10:48] <zaapiel> let me try
[10:48] <personman_145> well I think I found it anyway
[10:49] <zaapiel> ty
[10:50] <personman_145> np
[11:42] <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).
[11:44] <petersaints> ?
[11:51] <BluesKaj> petersaints, a good question for the devs at #kubuntu-devel
[11:59] <petersaints> @BluesKaj I thought that #kubuntu-devel was only for 18.04 development. But I'll ask there anyway!
[12:04] <BluesKaj> petersaints, not just for dev releases ..they'llknow what happened with the backports
[13:28] <Cruelplatypus67> hi
[13:28] <Cruelplatypus67> i need some help
[13:30] <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?
[13:37] <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?
[13:38] <acheronuk> yes. it will keep upgrading packages until the archive is frozen for the stable release
[13:45] <kubuntu> hi
[16:08] <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?
[16:09] <diogenes_> lol
[16:09] <nautilus1> serious concern and oversignt im in the doghouse for this :)
[16:12] <diogenes_> simple solution don't store it on the pc
[16:13] <nautilus1> if its locked, it should be safe :(
[16:13] <nautilus1> but i cant find a setting to turn that off ?
[16:17] <_sharvey_> Best tech support question this week.
[16:17] <nautilus1> :)
[16:18] <_sharvey_> You have this material open in what program? Browser?
[16:18] <nautilus1> vlc
[16:20] <user|67930> hello?
[16:20]  * _sharvey_ opens a documentary about The Clash in VLC to test with
[16:26] <_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"?
[16:28] <nautilus1> _sharvey_: i just need to turn off where it displays that on the lock screen
[16:29] <nautilus1> it doesnt even require the password to start playing it again !
[16:29] <_sharvey_> lol, you're in deep
[16:34] <_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 ;)
[16:35] <_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
[17:17] <_sharvey_> So, does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade to 18.04 Beta 2 from Beta 1... without a total reinstall?
[17:18] <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
[17:33] <_sharvey_> acheronuk: I have a suspicion I'm missing a repository.
[17:39] <acheronuk> sudo apt install pastebinit
[17:39] <acheronuk> cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[17:39] <acheronuk> and give us the link
[17:45] <_sharvey_> https://paste.kde.org/pwxnxdt0a/fvmpot  <- already done
[17:46] <acheronuk> that is password protected ^^^
[17:49] <_sharvey_> Not anymore. Doh.
[17:49] <acheronuk> I guess I am also talking to you on twitter!
[17:50] <_sharvey_> Rik!
[17:50] <_sharvey_> Sorry for double-asking
[17:51] <_sharvey_> I still promise to say nice things about you
[17:51] <_sharvey_> I'm having a rough day, it seems
[17:52] <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
[17:54] <acheronuk> what does 'apt-cache policy kubuntu-settings' give?
[17:58] <_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
[17:59] <obert> isn't postgres?
[17:59] <valorie> !info postgresql
[18:00] <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
[18:02] <_sharvey_> acheronuk: 'kubuntu-settings-desktop', however, gives some output
[18:03] <acheronuk> oh. my bad. I gave you the source package name!
[18:03] <_sharvey_> Installed: 1:18.04ubuntu10 / Candidate: 1:18.04ubuntu10
[18:05] <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
[18:07] <_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. :)
[18:08] <acheronuk> now is fixing and polishing
[18:08] <_sharvey_> Nice to see Latte included. I installed it from your secret repo several times.
[18:09] <acheronuk> :)
[18:13] <_sharvey_> And the new Kubuntu Product Manager is my official KDE mentor
[18:13] <acheronuk> yes? awesome. Nate is great
[18:14] <_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?
[18:15] <acheronuk> _sharvey_: I've been handed a few list ;)
[18:16] <_sharvey_> VeryBewitching: I think that's the purpose of Kubuntu. Regular Ubuntu will stick with GNOME, so you have your choice.
[18:17] <VeryBewitching> I guess I'm of the mind that there should be Ubuntu and Gubuntu not Ubuntu and Kubuntu
[18:18] <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
[18:26] <valorie> VeryBewitching: history is against Ubuntu switching at this point
[18:26] <valorie> as long as gnome is working
[18:27] <VeryBewitching> It seems that way.
[18:29] <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)
[18:30] <VeryBewitching> At any rate, I was mostly curious if anyone was pushing for it.
[21:38] <pete__> nvidia 384 nuked my machine.... how do i remove this driver?  or all nvidia?
[21:39] <pete__> screen flickers
[21:39] <pete__> I tried apt-get remove and
[21:39] <pete__> apt-get purge nvidia
[21:39] <pete__> but, would not work
[21:40] <pete__> as root..but, still doesn't work!
[21:43] <valorie> pete__: I think you have to blacklist it
[21:43] <valorie> and install nouveau
[21:43] <valorie> !info nouveau
[21:43] <valorie> huh
[21:43] <valorie> !drivers
[21:45] <pete__> how?
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <pete__> I also get a message:  "failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon.'
[21:47] <pete__> I hate nvidia!
[21:48] <pete__> I get that message whenever I do a normal boot.
[21:48] <pete__> I tried to boot into recovery mode but I could not remove nvidia drivers or the purge command as previously mentioned
[21:48] <pete__> even as root
[21:49] <pete__> i don't want to re-install the entire os because of this sh55
[21:49] <valorie> hmmm, well I just alt+space and type drivers
[21:49] <valorie> and use the systemsettings bit that pops to the top of the list
[21:49] <valorie> no, no
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <valorie> it's not like a regular package
[21:52] <valorie> you might get more help in #ubuntu because it's a bigger channel
[21:52] <pete__> I'm on 17.04 on another partition
[21:52] <pete__> right now but I have not updated it in a long while
[21:52] <valorie> and this is not really a kubuntu-only problem
[21:52] <pete__> I can't here... I cannot figure out how to enter that channel
[21:53] <valorie>  all IRC commands start with /
[21:53] <valorie> so /join #ubuntu
[21:56] <pete__> no one answers on #ubuntu
[22:13] <valorie> I"m sorry to hear that, pete__
[22:14] <valorie> for me, driver manager Just Works
[22:42] <LucasTwo> How do I set my scroll speed on kubuntu?
[22:43] <valorie> if it's for a mouse, alt+space and type mouse
[22:44] <valorie> actually I think touchpad stuff is in the same part of systemsettings
[22:44] <valorie> if you are using an older kubuntu, alt+f2
[22:45] <LucasTwo> Is it the "Mouse wheel scrolls by:"?
[22:49] <LucasTwo> nope, still slow
[22:49] <valorie> hmmm
[22:51] <LucasTwo> at least in firefox and chromium
[22:53] <LucasTwo> also, I fixed the issue where my apt-get was hanging
[22:53] <LucasTwo> setting my connection to prefer ipv6 did the job
[22:53] <LucasTwo> *ipv4
[23:07] <leonardo_> somebody can give the superuser password of postgresql
[23:13] <leonardo_> somebody can give the username of postgresql
[23:17] <valorie> usually a new install is like return
[23:17] <valorie> but you can google to see if there is something else.....
[23:23] <leonardo_> can you give the username of postgresql
[23:52] <leonardo_> excusme, somebody can give the username and password for the postgresql server
[23:54] <krytarik> leonardo_: Try asking in #postgresql instead.
