[00:37] <mparillo> And if it doesn't, that might mean you have encountered a bug worth reporting.
[00:59] <Fire-Dragon-DoL> any idea why xdg-open errors with /usr/bin/xdg-open: 570: /usr/bin/xdg-open: kfmclient: not found ? I don't have konqueror (use dolphin)

[02:41] <Deltarod> hey guys, I'm doing some research for a school project and was wondering if there was a way to look at the code base? I cant seem to find a place to review the repository anywhere
[02:50] <ThOR27> Hi! I'm having an issue with Kubuntu 18.04. I use a US International Keyboard with dead keys, and shortcuts that uses "dead keys" such as ALT+` to change window for the same app doesn't works. Also, if I try to use any "deadkey" to set any kind of shortcut it doesn't works, it keeps as no key was pressed.
[05:31] <user|96768> I need Linux headers for the kernel 2.6.24-32 generic.
[05:36] <krytarik> Wow, that's old...
[05:36] <hateball> I doubt it's in any supported release
[05:36] <krytarik> Yeah, me too.
[05:38] <user|96768> 2.6.24-32? Yes that is what the vendor is supporting. An install on a legacy laptop appears to need a network driver compiled. It is e1000 driver. Also a USB driver would help, but also need a driver. Apparently these drivers need to be re-compiled and I have not located the correct linux header versions yet.
[05:54] <nulln> Is there a way to copy the kubuntu installer onto a partition of my HDD? I
[05:55] <hateball> nulln: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:55] <nulln> I'm trying to install it on an iMac5,2. I don't have any CDs on hand and a live usb wont show up in rEFInd or the default apple "hold-option" menu.
[05:58] <nulln> hateball: sorry, forgot to add the mention, see above
[06:00] <diogenes_> nulln, does mac offer pxe?
[06:03] <nulln> diogenes_: I don't know. I think it may, because I googled and found a thing called NetBoot. Not sure if that's the same as pxe.
[06:04] <diogenes_> nulln, anyways, there is a possibility to start the installer directly from the HDD
[06:05] <diogenes_> but you need somehow to get grub running
[06:06] <nulln> oh, i just found this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/dd-usb-to-partition.1329407/#post-14381390 replacing the usb path with the iso, do you think this would work?
[06:07] <valorie> you have to mount the ISO to get it to work as I recall
[06:07] <valorie> ah, that method does that
[06:08] <nulln> valorie: would it be worth a shot?
[06:11] <valorie> anything is worth a try
[06:11] <nulln> ok, i'll give it a shot
[06:11] <valorie> dd is scary to use the first time, but just check your path
[06:11] <hateball> Don't run with scissors
[06:12] <nulln> yeah, setting up the live usb is always a big "cut the red wire or blue wire" to me
[06:12] <nulln> although i get the paths right i always triple check for like 3 hours lol
[06:12] <hateball> just make sure you dd to the device and not a partition
[06:12] <valorie> lol
[06:13] <nulln> hateball: what do you mean? the idea is to image a seperate partition with the installer, so i can boot to it from the hdd
[06:15] <hateball> nulln: I mean when you dd an ISO to a thumbdrive, as I thought you were talking about now
[06:16] <nulln> ahh yeah, when i set up live usbs i dd to the device
[06:16] <nulln> i thought you were reffering to the hard drive
[06:16] <hateball> yeah no I should have read more carefully :)
[06:17]  * hateball knows nothing about Macs and EFI anyhow, goes back to "working"
[06:19] <BionicMac> Wow I love the auto/instant/smart transparency of Konsole.
[06:19] <BionicMac> Makes for a nice desktop experience. The little things ya know? =)
[06:20] <valorie> I prefer yakuake!
[06:20] <valorie> even more instant
[06:20] <nulln> exactly. the little things that kde does are why i prefer it in the long run
[06:20] <nulln> also kde gets me the look and feel that i like
[06:21] <valorie> same here
[06:39] <BionicMac> exactly
[06:40] <BionicMac> valorie: I've never tried yakuake.
[06:42] <BionicMac> valorie: oooo's and aaahhh's... wow this yakuake seems superb already.
[06:43] <BionicMac> And yet another thing I love about Ubuntu in general... So easy to install anything you want quick and painless. and fast. right at your fingertips.
[06:45] <valorie> it's like the first thing I install
[06:45] <valorie> the second is konversation
[06:46] <BionicMac> Insta-hide your terminal!
[06:46] <BionicMac> =)
[06:47] <BionicMac> makes for a clean desktop and stat!
[06:47] <BionicMac> Yet, I am not so sure it will replace Konsole for me. We shall see.
[06:51] <valorie> you can tab it too
[06:51] <valorie> if necessary
[06:51] <BionicMac> you mean the + sign att the bottom to open another shell right?
[06:53] <valorie> or control + alt +t I think
[06:55] <BionicMac> shift+ctrl+t for me. thanks.
[06:57] <BionicMac> OH I just pulled my irc session in
[06:57] <BionicMac> nice
[06:57] <valorie> wow
[06:58] <valorie> konversation <3
[06:58] <BionicMac> I can't get away from terminal clients. I've tried.
[06:58] <BionicMac> I'm on a weechat kick now.
[06:58] <valorie> and I can't get into 'em
[06:59] <BionicMac>   Probably because it's all I've ever used.
[06:59] <BionicMac> And ya can't screen the gui ones.
[06:59] <Unit193> No, I started wit a (horrible) gui client, went to a horrible ncurses client, then irssi.
[07:00] <Unit193> BionicMac: Quassel has a client/core concept, so you can detach.  There's also znc.
[07:00] <BionicMac> I started with BitchX... moved to Epic for a while.. Been on irssi for about 15+ years.
[07:00] <BionicMac> laterly tried the guis again. Quassel, Konversation and Hexchat. They are all nice.
[07:01] <ricktimmis[m]> I have become a big fan of Riot using matrix to hook back to freenode
[07:01] <BionicMac> BionicMac: =) makes it nice. Quassel is my gUI of choice in irc clients for that reason.
[07:01] <ricktimmis[m]> My favourite feature in Quassel was the integration with KDE text to speeches
[07:02] <BionicMac> then again I run irc from different remote servers through the years so ... terminal clients kind of win the all around "useful-in-all-situations" battle foe me.
[07:02] <BionicMac> ricktimmis[m]: I really need to give Quassel ful attention for a whlie.
[07:02] <BionicMac> s/ful/full/
[07:03] <ricktimmis[m]> Ah yes
[07:03] <valorie> Konversation can act as a front-end to irssi btw
[07:03] <ricktimmis[m]> We install Konversation by default now, which doesn't have TTS I don't think
[07:03] <BionicMac> Unit193: Yes, znc has proved to be extremely useful.
[07:04] <ricktimmis[m]> But that's just me trying to be future boy, having my machines talk to me
[07:05] <BionicMac> ricktimmis[m]: I found myself fumbling around Konversation trying to use tor and sasl-ext etc etc. So I went back to terminal clients.
[07:05] <ricktimmis[m]> I am really excited about up coming 18.04 is looking fantastic
[07:05] <BionicMac> valorie: hmmmmm... I likey this yakuake..
[07:05] <BionicMac> coffe is ready!
[07:06] <BionicMac> man I can not type tonight.
[07:06] <ricktimmis[m]> Ah coffee, what an excellent idea
[07:06] <valorie> midnight here, so away from irc I go
[07:06] <valorie> nice to see ya, ricktimmis[m]
[07:07] <ricktimmis[m]> Right got to go, busy day be back later
[07:07] <ricktimmis[m]> You to @valorie {{{{{{hug}}}}}}
[07:08] <BionicMac> valorie: 'Nite valorie
[07:09] <valorie> niters
[07:09]  * BionicMac sips  Indonesian Medium Roast (from a local roaster) freshly ground by yours truly & brewed in a French Press.
[07:09] <BionicMac> The only way to fly!
[07:09] <BionicMac> Ahhhhhh
[07:09] <Unit193> BionicMac: I like you.
[07:10] <Unit193> French press and freshly ground, only thing left is to switch to a dark roast. :3
[07:13] <BionicMac> Well, little known fact is... the dark roast has less (pure/clean) flavor and far less Caffeine. I've recently started drinking non-dark-roasts.
[07:14] <BionicMac> When the beans are roasted.. the longer/darker/more they are roasted you lose the caffeine during the process.
[07:14] <BionicMac> SO, Ihad to try for myself.. I bought my firs medium and light roast and BAM crystal meth in a cup!
[07:14] <BionicMac> Tis true this science thing.
[07:16] <BionicMac> I won't sleep until the dawn. Most especially having this Indo medim roast at 2:00 in the morning.
[07:17]  * BionicMac pours Unit193 a cup of coffee... join me =)
[08:37] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[08:38] <diogenes_> great, wbu?
[08:39] <BluesKaj> wbu?
[08:40] <diogenes_> wbu = what about you
[08:40] <BluesKaj> insomnia  :/
[08:40] <diogenes_> because of?
[08:41] <BluesKaj> dunno
[08:41] <diogenes_> exams ahead? broken love? running out of money? buying a new car tomorrow? :)
[08:45] <BluesKaj> non of the above ..let's just leave it alone
[08:45] <diogenes_> ok
[14:33] <furby3> Hi community :) I'm a Linux newbie but software developer on windows. I'm installing Kubuntu on my server as a VM. I would like to access Kubuntu from my Windows 10 client via RDP. What is the simplest way to accomplish that (1. Access desktop with custom resolution 2.multiple connections to the same screen to be able to use multiple screens on my
[14:33] <furby3> client. 3. Clipboard, 4. File transfer).
[14:42] <hateball> !info xrdp
[14:42] <hateball> !xrdp
[14:42] <hateball> nope, no special wiki page for that
[14:42] <hateball> but yeah, if it is RDP you want, xrdp is what you need
[14:42] <hateball> furby3: otherwise there are other protocols like VNC
[14:43] <furby3> ok, thx :)
[14:43] <hateball> file transfers I'd suggest you do over SFTP
[14:43] <hateball> !sftp
[14:43] <hateball> unless you wish to inflict great pain on yourself by setting up SAMBA
[14:43] <hateball> alas, I must dash. good luck!
[14:44] <furby3> I would love to have a drag and drop solution within the xRDP connection.
[15:24] <user|75585> I cannot change network settings, only the VPN tab is available, so no network
[15:24] <user|75585> I am using KDE 4.4.5
[15:24] <user|75585> Does that mean I need root privileges
[15:36] <user|7786> how to kubuntu usb
[15:37] <user|7786> ? Hi
[15:48] <user|54072> hi
[15:48] <diogenes_> user|7786, what?
[15:49] <user|54072> somebody can help me?
[15:49] <diogenes_> !ask
[15:49] <user|54072> well, I'm a windows user but I wanna try kubuntu
[15:50] <diogenes_> great
[15:50] <user|54072> so I have a usb with the 17.10.1 iso
[15:51] <diogenes_> great
[15:51] <user|54072> my doubt is in the partitions configuration. Let me explain
[15:52] <diogenes_> try ur best
[15:53] <user|54072> the configuration right now is: C (W7) D (my data: music, data, movies, etc)
[15:53] <diogenes_> and?
[15:54] <user|54072> is there any way to keep using my data with kubuntu and windows? can you help me with the configuration?
[15:54] <diogenes_> user|54072, first of all tell me if you have any experience with linux at all
[15:56] <user|54072> not at all, I am a windows user. I read about all the linux distros and I found that kubuntu is good for windows users
[15:57] <diogenes_> well first thing you need to know is
[15:57] <obert> kubuntu is easy
[15:57] <diogenes_> there are many different types of ubuntu versions and its derivatives (as kubuntu)
[15:57] <diogenes_> there is stable release maintainted for 5 years
[15:58] <diogenes_> there are releases which are supported for 6 months
[15:58] <obert> you need to install yakuake though
[15:58] <diogenes_> the 17.10 that you have chosen, will be supported for a short period of time
[15:58] <diogenes_> that's why I advice you to pick 16.04 version
[15:58] <user|54072> got it
[15:59] <diogenes_> that's first, second about your data
[15:59] <diogenes_> you got disk D with data, it will be of course accessible from both windows and linux
[15:59] <diogenes_> so you don't have to worry about it
[15:59] <diogenes_> now what you have to do the first steps on windows
[16:00] <diogenes_> you need to download a piece of software called EASEUS partition manager (free version)
[16:00] <diogenes_> and resize your disk D, make at least 50 GB of free space
[16:01] <diogenes_> then you go ahead with linux installation, whenever you got any questions, just come here and ask
[16:01] <user|54072> diogenes_:  thanks
[16:01] <user|54072> one more question
[16:03] <user|54072> I read an article and used it as a base to do a dual boot
[16:03] <diogenes_> and?
[16:04] <user|54072> well, the first time I try to install the 17.10 I stuck in the partition part. I explain:
[16:05] <diogenes_> 17.10 will die in July 2018
[16:05] <user|54072> got it, I'm gonna download 16.04 lts
[16:05] <diogenes_> so once again, pick either 16.04 which will be supported till 2021 or wait few more days till a new stable release is coming up
[16:06] <user|54072> so the article said: create a partition for /, other for /home and other for swap
[16:06] <diogenes_> this moth, a new 18.04 stable will be released, it will be supported for another 5 years, but as for now, dowload 16.04 and later you can upgrade to 18.04
[16:06] <diogenes_> about partitions
[16:07] <diogenes_> if you intend to have on linux also a partition like disk D on windows, where your data will be keps and survive the re-installation
[16:07] <diogenes_> then you need a separate /home partition
[16:07] <diogenes_> if you intend to keep all your data on windowses disk d
[16:08] <diogenes_> then you don't need a separate  /home
[16:08] <diogenes_> keep in mind
[16:08] <diogenes_> that everything you download on linux's /home partition, will be accessible only while you're on linux, when you go on windows, it will not be accessible
[16:08] <user|54072> copy that. As I said, I'm a rookie and the partitions are a little bit treaky
[16:09] <diogenes_> so I'd advice you to make only one single partition / (root)
[16:09] <diogenes_> no /home no /swap nothing else
[16:09] <user|54072> got it
[16:09] <diogenes_> and just store the most important date on windows's disk d of course from linxu you can copy to windows disk d
[16:10] <diogenes_> data*
[16:10] <diogenes_> so the thing you need to do are:
[16:10] <diogenes_> 1. make free space by resizing your disk d
[16:10] <diogenes_> 2. when you reach partitioning in linux, go with "something else"
[16:10] <diogenes_> there you gonna find free space
[16:11] <diogenes_> 3. just create a single / partition with all that free space
[16:11] <diogenes_> and install
[16:11] <diogenes_> and one more thing, you said you have windows 7 not 10 right?
[16:11] <diogenes_> because if you have windows 10, then you need a one more partition called /boot/efi
[16:12] <diogenes_> otherwise your linux won't boot
[16:12] <user|54072> right (I don't like 10)
[16:12] <diogenes_> so it doesn't run in uefi mode, you should be fine then
[16:13] <diogenes_> one more thing for you to try, is go to the live session
[16:13] <diogenes_> with 16.04 and try out your sound, your wifi and your microphone
[16:14] <diogenes_> if everything works then proceed with installation
[16:15] <user|54072> that was my doubt, because when I tried the first time: I made the / partition and everything ok, the /swap... ok but for the /home a "useless" message appeared and I thought I was doing something wrong
[16:16] <diogenes_> make only one partition / and choose ext4, after the installation come here and we will create a swap file instead of a swap partition
[16:16] <user|54072> so: 1- download 16.04
[16:16] <user|54072> 2- try the live session
[16:17] <diogenes_> yes
[16:17] <user|54072> 3- if everything is ok, proceed to install
[16:17] <diogenes_> yes
[16:17] <user|54072> 4- do it with an only / (root) partition
[16:18] <diogenes_> yes
[16:18] <diogenes_> ext4 <[16:19] <user|54072> 5- come back to create a swap file
[16:19] <diogenes_> yes
[16:19] <user|54072> diogenes_: thanks a lot
[16:20] <diogenes_> yw
[16:20] <user|54072> did I do right choosing kubuntu (as windows user)?
[16:21] <diogenes_> yes
[16:24] <user|54072> diogenes_: thank you a lot! Have a nice day
[16:24] <user|54072> I will come back
[16:25] <diogenes_> ty
[16:25] <diogenes_> same
