=== phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as phoenix_firebrd [00:11] I am trying to upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04, I am getting a message "No new release found." [00:11] what should I do [00:21] phoenix_firebrd: upgrades don't get enabled for a day or two. [00:23] acheronuk: oh, ok [00:31] I have tried installing kubuntu 18.04 LTS 5 times( with and without secure boot ). After installation, it doesn't reboot. When I repower manually, and login, it freezes on the KDE logo. I have an alienware laptop with an nvidia gtx 1070. [00:32] Note, I manually partition /root as btrfs and /home as xfs. [00:35] and I'm doing minimal install [00:59] so, just installed kubuntu 18.04 lts on my t430 - i get a black screen with a cursor on first bootup. i can Alt+F2 to get a search bar, open konsole then run plasmashell to be able to use it..... but wtf [00:59] how can i get this install working properly [01:43] !nomodeset | ca_cabotage [01:43] ca_cabotage: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:58] guys, is Kubuntu Upgrade (from older version) delayed? [01:58] or is it live? [02:04] you will get auto-updates in the next day or so [02:04] they don't appear immediately [02:04] no I mean is it delayed, someone was saying the upgrade was delayed due to bug. [02:04] of Kubuntu I mean. [02:06] the release has happened earlier [02:06] see the /topic / [02:06] err [02:07] topic [02:22] Congratulations on the release, guys! Thanks for all your hard work today, and for the thought and effort put into this release over the last few months. [02:38] thanks Kon- [02:38] (not all of us guys) [02:38] lol [02:38] Guys and young ladies [02:39] All the men and women involved :) [02:39] people, yeah [02:39] :-) [02:39] I have to admit I almost always use "guys" as a gender neutral plural [02:39] also all the Bots ヽ(ಠ_ಠ)ノ [02:39] it is indeed a group effort [02:40] Kon-: guys see it that way for sure [02:40] haha [02:40] the bots help too [02:40] haha [02:40] !isitoutyet [02:40] Yes, it's out! Party in #ubuntu-release-party :) [02:40] :-) [02:44] Glückwunsch Leute [03:28] I can not update to version 18.04, I have version 17.10. Neither Discover nor from console entering this command: kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE". It says there is no update. [03:29] wait for couple of hours, the upgrade will be provided. [03:30] it's regional problem? [03:30] well the Server is under huge traffic right now :) [03:30] give it some time [03:31] ok thanks === redwhite is now known as ZzZzZzzz === ZzZzZzzz is now known as redwhite === redwhite is now known as ZzZzZzzz === ZzZzZzzz is now known as redwhite === troy_ is now known as Guest72550 [06:04] I'm getting "no new release found." when I do do-release-upgrade (trying to upgrade to 18 lts), currently on 17.10 and release-upgrades set to normal, also tried lts [06:04] anyone have same problem? [06:21] ZetFury: https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-04-has-been-released/ [06:21] "Upgrades will not be enabled immediately at release time. They will become available when the release team are happy with the final state of the archive for upgrades." [06:28] Hi everybody. Does kubuntu participate in standalone packages madness? I mean that ubuntu ships some of its packages as snaps, I wonder if kubuntu is plagued with this issue too? [06:31] we don't have any snaps instaled by default, though snapd is there should you choose to do so yourself [06:43] is it true that kubuntu 18-04 is still in beta? [06:45] no [06:50] acheronuk: thank you for the info [06:50] acheronuk, thx for the info :) [06:53] katnip1 was added by: katnip1 === mkv is now known as m4v [08:17] https://www.zdnet.com/article/whats-the-most-popular-linux-of-them-all/ [08:50] guys, this release rocks, I love it like never before. Thanks for all of your hard work <3 [08:54] alket: thanks. great to hear :) [09:02] mmmm flavour of kubuntuday is 18.04 [09:23] Hello. I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04 over 17.10 [09:24] I formatted / but didn't format /home but instead directly pointed /home to the original home partition [09:25] so it's not fresh :) [09:25] Now I can't log in. when I try to log in it gets stuck stuck in the lock screen [09:25] Oh I thought it was fresh because I didn't update from inside the installation [09:28] Hmm, Kubuntu LTS looks interesting. Comes with KDE 5.12 LTS which is interesting, perhaps Kubuntu will finally be super stable :D [09:42] i've added the kubuntu backports ppa [09:43] it [09:43] it's quite unstable isn't it ? [09:43] because it's cutting edge [09:45] is there anywhere we can leave feedback if something breaks ? [09:54] alterjsive: inherently backports are not going to have the same level of stability testing as our main archive packages, but we also don't go too far into unstable territory [09:55] feedback can be on here, on our mailing lists, bugs filed against kubuntu-ppa etc === node1_ is now known as dashage [10:04] acheronuk: I didn't see any bugs listed on https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports [10:06] My sound stopped working [10:14] my audio devices are no longer visable [10:21] while `aplay -l` lists all the audio devices just fine. [10:24] aplay -D plughw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav works too [10:30] pacmd says No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. [10:40] Howdy folks [10:47] pulseaudio logging: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hd75gtN39s/ [10:56] trying to update 17.10 to 18.04 (it's a vm) but now wired internet connection no longer working. followed these steps https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic-beaver [10:57] I am afraid the preparation steps broke some network setting. some old packages were removed [10:57] used sudo apt autoremove which was suggested to me [11:01] unsure how to get network setup back to working state. this is what I am seeing https://imgur.com/a/vsklw5X === hydra is now known as Guest64888 [11:08] I will try to upgrade to bionic instead [11:11] anybody any idea? [11:12] just_need_the_ro: well I suppose make sure the kernel in bionic is compatible with whatever hypervisor you're using [11:13] hypervisor? [11:13] the virtual machine software [11:13] is that something like google glass? ah ok [11:13] lets say you use virtualbox, then it presents a virtual NIC to the virtual machine [11:13] and if you switch kernels (like you do on upgrade) maybe there are incompatabilities [11:14] yeah the thing is I didn't even do the update [11:14] I just followed the preparation steps [11:16] so since it worked with 17.10 (currently running) I assume kernel is compatible with vm [11:16] but as mentioned kubuntu removed some things after that one command that was being proposed during preparatino [11:16] ah linux joys :) [11:16] so now I am stuck with 17.10 and no internet [11:21] hateball: any other ideas? [11:22] just_need_the_ro: surely you took a snapshot of your VM before you started upgrading? [11:23] no, but maybe this is just the end of my linux experiment then? [11:23] Probably not [11:23] so basically there's no way to get back to working state? [11:23] just_need_the_ro: does the device show up at all? [11:24] lshw -C network [11:24] which device? [11:24] ::1 ff02::1 ip6-allrouters ip6-loopback ubuntu [11:24] fe00::0 ff02::2 ip6-localhost ip6-mcastprefix
[11:24] ff00::0 ip6-allnodes ip6-localnet localhost [11:29] just_need_the_ro: thats no output you get from: [11:29] lshw -C network [11:30] anyhow I am a bit busy at work atm so I hope someone else joins and can help you === kubuntu is now known as Guest89642 [11:35] just_need_the_ro, does the VM have separate / and /home? [11:38] BluesKaj: this is the output for the lshw command https://bin.disroot.org/?8e88163d751d9425#1z0S+0WZbooDNC8hH/IdqZpg0z+9AigQvls1iqnyliE= [11:38] BluesKaj: how would I check that? [11:40] just_need_the_ro, well you would have created them yourself, vms don't do that kind auto partitioning [11:40] then the answer is no [11:41] never used a vm that didn't have some kind of flaw, that's whyu I never use them [11:41] yeah but in this case the flaw is not in the vm software but in the update preparation steps of kubuntu [11:44] just_need_the_ro: so the machine sees the interface, no issues there [11:44] just_need_the_ro: what does ifconfig show ? [11:45] Misaka001 was added by: Misaka001 [11:45] hateball: https://bin.disroot.org/?624729cb038b0c60#03UtmoYeRPQNN7o/tqAYT1i4bIAbJtzQYt+nCg2VdjA= [11:45] Hi!, it's normal that still today when I use kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" [11:46] says that there is no new version available === cjouve is now known as cjouve_ [11:46] (I am using 17.10 and wanted to upgrade to 18.04) === cjouve_ is now known as cjouve [11:53] use the terminal and it's sudo do-release-upgrade [11:54] not kdesudo [11:55] just_need_the_ro: can you do "sudo dhclient ens33" ? maybe it just lost its dhcp lease [11:55] just_need_the_ro: or did you try rebooting the VM and the issue persisted? [11:55] I just followed the instructions of the oficial Kubuntu webpage (also I used that commands in the past) [11:57] I used sudo do-release-upgrade with the same results (obviusly) as do-release-upgrade -c says there is no new version [11:58] hateball: I tried that suggestion but no dice. yeah tried restarting the vm but still no connection. so you don't think something that's required got uninstalled? [11:58] I am going to restart and check again [11:59] i switched to bridget instead of nat. not sure but now I got an internet connection [11:59] (in the vm settings) [12:00] so now back to 18.04 update: sudo do-release-upgrade says no new versions [12:00] "Upgrades will not be enabled immediately at release time. They will become available when the release team are happy with the final state of the archive for upgrades." [12:01] https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-04-has-been-released/ [12:02] aha, so can I force the update? [12:02] no [12:02] you need to wait [12:02] appears to be no ETA at this moment [12:02] I find updates complicated. Why Is there no UI option offering this as download and user can device update yes no [12:03] ok, so I will be auto updated whenever kubuntu overlords think it's ready? [12:03] I think there is, not sure what it's called, I use terminal [12:03] yeah console is installed and then? [12:03] if you havent changed anything from default i think you will get a notification in bottom right corner of screen [12:03] when you can update/upgrade [12:04] That is correct [12:04] ok cool [12:04] I'll read a book till then [12:04] thanks for your help hateball ZetFury BluesKaj :) [12:07] How do I get rid of that notes program in plazma? I can't even close the windows it makes. I don't want sticky notes on my desktop. [12:08] kill? [12:09] it seems to come back. I want to totally un install it, but I'm not sure I know the name of the package. [12:09] just_need_the_ro: good luck :) [12:10] rwb: longpress on a sticky note to get the menu [12:10] then you can remove [12:10] longclick/press [12:10] hateball: well sudo do-release-upgrade -d does the trick and pulls the development version [12:10] Thanks! [12:14] rwb: it is highly unintuitive imo :D [12:14] I think it was designed that was with plasma mobile in mind === youssoufb is now known as youssouf_ === youssouf_ is now known as youssoufb === santa is now known as Guest92032 [13:51] hola [15:19] hi..is there a way to add shortcut keys to programs thru the command line? === malware_ is now known as astronauta [16:13] Hey, I'm having an issue with my audio. Setting the master volume to 0, heapdhone to 0, and PCM to 100 still outputs audio through the headphones === low_tower is now known as Guest34532 [17:34] Hello all. Even if Kubuntu 18.04 is it recommended to wait until it appears in Muon/Discover to do an upgrade from 17.10 and not to force it? Thank you! [17:42] low_tower: Yes, I'd do so - should be a matter of only days. [17:46] hello everyone, just installed Kubuntu 18.04 [17:46] what's the best way to install dropbox on it? [17:46] on discover there's only nautilus and caja options, and it seems that the deb provided by dropbox is also for nautilus === Guest66217 is now known as Haudegen [18:07] hi, I'm having trouble with WiFi on a Clevo W840SU, it doesn't seem to find the network card at all. It does find the Ethernet, and I'm currently using my phone to get a connection. Any ideas? I've tried 'rfkill unblock all' but it did not help [18:09] Arthur_D, sudo lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 [18:09] what does it show [18:09] gives me no output [18:10] so it's a desktop pc? [18:10] no, a laptop [18:11] has it ever worked under linux? [18:11] yes, my brother has used Kubuntu with it before, but now with 18.04 nothing [18:12] everything else seems to work, just no WiFi [18:12] i'd suggest to boot into live cd mode and check if it works in there [18:13] well I did try before installing, and it did not work there, but I figured maybe it missed some firmware or so [18:14] u said it worked before so how it worked then? [18:14] it worked ootb [18:15] he says he sometimes needed to reboot to get it to work, but I've tried that several times, also with a live USB a couple times [18:15] maybe just the chip died or something [18:16] go to bios and see maybe it's disabled [18:18] tried checking there earlier but I only found some UEFI network thing, I installed using legacy BIOS mode. Turning it on means I no longer can boot into the system [18:18] so I think it's only some PXE network boot but not entirely sure [18:19] Arch wiki has a page btw: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Clevo_W840SU but it says nothing about WiFi [18:21] i'd disconnect the ac charger and remove the battery, then i'd disassemble the pc and see if i can remove the wifi from the board and then reconnect it BUT you do it only if you know what you're doing, otherwise don't go in there [18:22] hmm maybe I'll just keep my phone tethered to it instead [18:22] thanks for the suggestions [18:23] use cable or buy a wifi dongle for 15 dollars and u will be fine === darren is now known as Guest75069 [19:03] Hello happy people o/~ [19:03] I made a huge mistake. [19:05] you installed windows? [19:05] I just upgraded to bionic, and my plasmashell is pegged at 100%CPU (in user-space, from what i gather from `perf top`) - can't tell what it's really doing, because there are no debug symbols available for it. [19:06] i think it's just popping spinning on futex_wait() [19:06] my laptop's CPU is not happy. [19:10] oh, and the compose key doesn't work on wayland (i'm using wayland, because it uses marginally less CPU) [19:15] Hello, I just wanted the kubuntu Web team know, that on the Alternativ Download page (https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads) the link to the "HowToSHA256SUM" is not set. I guess this should point to the ubuntu help page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSHA256SUM [19:28] viewer|73947: lemme look [19:30] i mean. i don't really need plasmashell, right? [19:30] wow, my cpu is so much happier after pkill plasmashell. [19:38] i;d really love to know how to debug this issue. [19:38] how do i get ahold of a kde dev?? [19:40] let's start with `plasmashell -d` [19:40] meena, my pasmashell doesn't register a percentage cpu load, so you must have something else using up the cpu [19:43] yeah, i'm suspecting that too, that's why i'm hoping that --qmljsdebugger will reveal something === youssoufb is now known as youssouf_ [19:54] meena, you can check in system monitor [19:56] BluesKaj: how's that different from top? [19:57] BluesKaj: and anyway, after restarting it with -d, it's not on top anymore. so. i'm somehow suspecting some (q)dbus issue [19:59] okay, system monitor is prettier than top. fair enough. [20:02] except, i can't configure which things i see - so no view on which CPU core a process is pegging or if it's being scheduled between them, and no view into which function it's paused on, etc. [20:03] ```kf5idletime_kwayland: This plugin does not support polling idle time``` <- there's some irony here that i'm not getting, huh. [20:12] meena, if you shut plasma down you won't see all the optioons I'm sure [20:12] BluesKaj: this is output from plasmashell --qmljsdebugger [20:12] anyway have to go .. [20:13] o/~ nighty night [20:58] i really like the new icons 💜 [22:20] oh, look! once i re-enable ddebs.ubuntu.com, i can suddenly find plasma-workspace-dbgsym! [22:20] please someone shoot me into the sun and fire me from computer. [22:20] Can't say I find that super surprising to find dbgsym packages on ddebs. :> [22:21] Although, new with bionic... [22:21] !info ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring [22:21] Package ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring does not exist in artful [22:21] !info ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring bionic [22:21] ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring (source: ubuntu-keyring): GnuPG keys of the Ubuntu Debug Symbols Archive. In component universe, is optional. Version 2018.02.28 (bionic), package size 7 kB, installed size 23 kB [22:32] I can't seem to see the global menu bar/titlebar menu in Kubuntu 18.04. [22:34] I have tried to enable and disable these options a few times in system settings as well as enabling and disabling the relevant plasma widget to no avail, and I have resetted my Plasma settings. [22:36] So far I have no luck. Parsing qdbus org.kde.kappmenuview through the terminal while I have the widget active seems to show that it is active, but I don't see it working.
