=== lubuntu is now known as Guest50443 === thinker_ is now known as thinker === kubuntu is now known as Guest83480 [04:48] Howdy! Just wondering. Is it possible to get linux 4.16 from an apt source ?

Upgrades from 16.04 LTS may not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July." [06:27] otomo, why you need it so urgently? [06:28] Thanks acheronuk, sorry I didn't know that [06:29] diogenes, no I don't need it so urgently, as I didn't know that info I thought something could be brong in my Kubuntu [06:29] so perfect them :), thanks [06:32] and another not so "important" question, do you know if the new Gimp 2.10 will be released in the official repos of 18.04? Thanks === ZzZzZzzz is now known as redwhite [06:36] it's a new feature release, not just a bugfix release, so I would say unlikely for a stable release update. in time perhaps it might get to the archive's unsupported backports section, but I don't know to what degree things are going to go in there for 18.04 yet [06:37] if it is snapped, then it would get an update at some point === FlameReaper-PC is now known as Honoo [06:40] I have asked a question a few hours back, but it seems nobody was around to answer at that time therefore I'll ask again. It seems a configuration in either my .local or .config folders are preventing KDE from properly displaying the appmenu, be it the global menu or the window decoration button. [06:41] I am running 18.04 LTS at the moment, and this problem does not repeat with a new user account. However I need to preserve my current applicationg settings so for me getting rid of my entire .local and .config folders are not an option [06:44] Honoo, not the entire .config, try to rename your .config/kde* <=== or whatever the plasma config folder is called then re-log and see if that fixes the issue [06:48] diogenes_: thank you. I'll try that.

Any idea/ [10:09] Kubuntu is geving me Screen Tearing with nvidia prop driver and ForceFullCompositePipeline enabled somebody can help/ [10:17] Should I be able to do 'do-release-upgrade'. [10:17] Is not working for me. [10:22] diegoC: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu [10:22] "Note: Upgrades from 17.10 will not be enabled until a few days after 18.04's release. Upgrades from 16.04 LTS may not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July." [10:24] Howdy folks [10:29] acheronuk thanks for the citation link. [10:29] somebody from this room was actually arguing with me that it was already released... [10:34] It is released. However, the meta that allows distribution upgrades is not usually switched for a while after, to give a chance for any left over upgrade bugs shake down [10:35] * dist-upgrade was already released I mean. [10:37] you can force it, but you could when 18.04 was still in development, so no change there [10:37] *still in pre-release development [10:39] I did a Fresh Install actually, so happy camper here. :) [10:40] :) [10:40] https://thepasteb.in/p/Rghnp54l2ZXUz [10:40] I get the above msg while installing Bionic [10:41] Installer crashed. [10:51] user|81418: if you are able to, please report a bug with 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity' [10:51] acheronuk: makes sense [10:51] that paste doesn't give info on what package installing caused the crash [10:53] jep, that's a pity [10:54] it seems that this might influence it: [10:54] user|81418: installation in German? with what options? [10:54] https://thepasteb.in/p/Elh1zp8Jpvzum [10:55] helpful! [10:56] Just did a full install in german language with no crash, so not obvious to re-produce [10:56] I'll give it another clean try... [10:58] New stick - new partitiontable... [12:00] Hey all! :) I'm having some issues installing Kubuntu 18.04. No matter how I do it, grub install fails. [12:00] ubiquity: grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error [12:01] nox11, try with legacy mode, no uefi [12:01] Ok, looks like the uefi boot loader security is stopping you === miguel is now known as Guest48262 [12:01] Yep, legacy [12:01] But secureboot is disabled, and all other distros installs fine [12:02] Ah OK [12:03] Anything else that might be wrong? [12:04] The error says I/O error, can you try again with other distro. Just to check that it is not an MBR error [12:04] If they still install then we'll need to dig into the logs [12:05] Alright! Is there a specific one you'd prefer me trying? [12:17] ricktimmis[m]: grub successfully installs and boots with solus [12:19] acheronuk: I had already seen that page. :/ I was wondering if the upgrades had been enabled yet, because it looked like somebody here was doing that [12:19] * Lucifer_arma is in 17.10 with two computers and really wants to hurry up and get 18.04 so he doesn't have to worry about upgrading again for two years [12:22] Lucifer_arma: no, they have not. neither meta-release or meta-release-lts on http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/ have had 18.04 details added to the yet, and it is that which gets checked by upgrade tools [12:25] hey all. do you guys recommend to install kubuntu from scratch, or can I go from ubuntu to kubuntu with their guide? [12:25] for some reason I feel this will not go well.. [12:30] grub also fails to install on ubuntu 18.04, with the same error [12:38] nox11: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bugs?orderby=-date_last_updated&start=0 [12:38] seems a fair few bugs there. maybe see if any replicate what you get [12:39] and ask in #ubuntu is it's a more general issue === jason is now known as Guest64230 [13:10] acheronuk: Thank you! Seems like installation fails if installed next to other OSes. Unplugging my other hard drives before installation fixes the issue. [13:11] especially if the OSs are windows [13:11] nox11: cheers. hopefully that will be ironed out in a future update! [13:16] Hey I'm having an issue with sddm [13:16] I tried compiling it from source but it didn't work as the screen would go completely black [13:17] So I removed it and reinstalled the packaged version of SDDM but that doesn't work either now as all I get is a cursor on a black screen. [13:18] I can start a graphical session manually with startx. [13:29] !nomodeset | kiroma [13:29] kiroma: 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 [13:31] I've got properitary drivers installed, and it's been working fine so far before I did this dumb thing. [13:35] a self build may result in files and config files left over. our packaged version does not have things quite as they would be if built from source [13:38] oh. they quit [13:41] nomodeset made the situation even worse. [13:45] worse, how? [13:49] seems he doesn't want help, he's just here to complain. [13:55] I wasn't able to start an X session anymore, even manually [13:56] So I think the issue is with sddm-greeter, it's not able to display the login screen for some reason [13:56] sddm works, because I can see and move my cursor around [13:57] And everything else works as well as I'm using Konversation to talk right now. [13:59] kiroma, changed the nomodeset line back to 'quiet splash' in grub ? [14:01] yes [14:03] With properitary drivers it shouldn't even matter actually so it's a bit confusing. [14:03] i had issue with UEFI before and grub, bur now as i have no windows on this hdd, i use bios old for it, i'm not sure it can change anuthing in Your case.. [14:04] anything* [14:04] Probably not [14:05] Again, everything was working fine before I decided to replace the default sddm with the one compiled locally [14:05] I can still run graphical applications and Xorg works just fine [14:05] I just can't log in with sddm-greeter. [14:07] kiroma, a self build may result in files and config files left over. our packaged version does not have things quite as they would be if built from source [14:08] this was posted immediately after you left the first time [14:08] Oh thank you [14:08] Well I've removed every file in the install manifest and reinstalled sddm several times. [14:11] it might be easier to reinstall the OS? [14:11] just a thought [14:14] Unless I've missed some crucial package [14:34] So what package should I try reinstalling to restore all the config files? [14:34] Because I just noticed that the install manifest replced some files outside /usr/local [14:34] Hello! Anyone using kde connect with Android? On my system I get an immediate system freeze. [14:35] I am and it works fine for me [14:35] kiroma: what kernel are you using? [14:35] Does it hang when connecting or when you perform a particular action? [14:35] 4.15 [14:36] ah ah I'm using 4.13 [14:36] maybe that is the reason [14:36] It freezes almost immediately when I start browsing files. [14:36] I don't think so, I've been using KDE Connect since 17.10, worked fine all the time [14:38] oh... then no idea, but it seems somehow related to the kernel, I see kworker immedaitely reaching high cpu usage and then the system dies [14:39] I would like to test 18.04 but I read it won't be available for some days [14:47] Well I'm out of ideas, so I'm going to reinstall the system [14:47] That was dumb [15:10] Is there a problem all of a sudden accessing a network drive in Kubuntu? I thought it used to work, ubuntu does. [15:11] I've installed Samba... I'm just a casual user, not a programmer. [15:13] GampaGamer, network attached drive on your router for example? === kubuntu is now known as Guest57856 [15:17] yes its attached to my router [15:18] do i need to restart after installing samba? [15:22] not that I recall [15:22] @GampaGamer, To run Samba after install, run these commands: [15:22] sudo systemctl unmask smbd [15:23] sudo systemctl enable smbd [15:23] sudo systemctl restart smbd [15:23] To view router shared drives update /etc/samba/smb.conf as follows: [15:24] have you tried the add network folder option in dolphin network [15:24] In the [global] section, add: [15:24] client NTLMv2 auth = no [15:24] client use spnego = no [15:25] ok, one sec [15:26] stuff to do, BBL [15:27] ok done [15:27] ensure to restart samba after updating smb.conf... (sudo systemctl restart smbd) [15:28] hmmm [15:28] i did, still nothing [15:28] nothing in dolphin under samba shares [15:28] i dont get it [15:30] uh oh, something more is wrong, windows machines aint seeing it either. [15:30] Dolphin is still "finiky" when it comes to samba shares. Network shares do not always show up and sometime require direct addressing, i.e. smb:///path [15:32] in addition, copying sets files sometimes fails and attempts to reconnect fail. I have not tried samba yet on 18.04. Let attempt real quick to see if anything has improved. [15:33] ok, drive still works, i can access with my firesticks. windows has a problem now with network shares so that doesnt surprise me. [15:33] but most linux distros have no problem so ill try the direct approach. [15:33] extremely confused about what's going on when i press AltGr (the thing i set as Compose key) - it opens Google in my browser. [15:34] how do i find the hostname and path? [15:34] brainfart [15:35] If its your router, usually substitute the name router IP for hostname. [15:35] Hi all. I'm a new KDE user, running kubuntu 18.04. I have a question about grouping tasks in the Task Manager. I have a number of Atom windows open. If I go into Task Manager Settings and I set Grouping to be "By Program Name" but I leave "Open groups in popups" unchecked, the Atom items do not group but I would expect that they should. They only group together if I check "Open groups in popups". [15:39] AHHHH HAAAAA!!!! got it [15:39] thank you! [15:39] Really? awesome!!! [15:40] how can i add a link to that somehow? [15:40] manually add the network share? [15:41] Yes, manuall add network share should work. [15:41] got it, right click and add to places should work [15:41] yep that did it [15:42] nice! [15:44] thanks for helping DarinMiller [15:45] Very welcome. [15:51] i'm very, very confused. There's nothing in the (global) shortcuts that even uses AltGr. [18:25] Hello folks. Here's to the weekend! [18:26] Cheers [18:49] hi, i just downloaded kubuntu 18.04 from the torrent and the sha256sum is not matching. can anybody help? [18:50] Yes, download it again. [18:51] !zsync [18:51] Use zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage [18:51] Or that. [18:52] ubottu: Ok, thanks. [18:53] ubottu is a bot. [18:53] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. For more information, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [19:04] krytarik: zsync worked like a charm. Thanks for the help. [19:05] Cool. :) [19:12] Hello.
