tnssI would like to try LightDM out02:23
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> what is light dm i am new using kubuntu02:24
tnssit used to be Ubuntu's default Display Manager until 17.1002:25
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @Tony.U. Johnny, LightDM is a Display Manager02:25
IrcsomeBot<carguello> It's the login administrator02:25
tnssand is currently the default DM for Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu02:25
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> is kubuntu n that ubuntu the same02:25
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Kubuntu uses SSDM by default02:26
tnssIt used to use LightDM until 12.0402:26
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @Tony.U. Johnny, So so, Kubuntu uses the Plasma Desktop + is built on the Qt framework02:26
IrcsomeBot<carguello> It uses Ubuntu repositories02:26
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Ubuntu on the other hand uses Gnome desktop atop the Gtk framework02:26
tnss*G*NOME *D*isplay *M*anager02:27
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> okay i am only wishing i could be told how to get some real good apps and stuff could you put me through on this02:27
tnssuse Discover02:28
Unit193I'm fairly certain there's not activly maintained Qt lightdm greeter.02:29
tnssTry modding the Antergos one02:32
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> hmmmm i must tell you i am lost about all this language02:33
krytarikYou'll find "Discover" in the launcher, it's for installing apps.02:54
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> yes but what if u tell me good apps to go with so i would just get them02:55
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @Tony.U. Johnny, What apps do you need for?02:55
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Say, Firefox for browsing … Krita for editing pictures … Darktable for raw editing02:58
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Vlc Media player02:58
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Etc02:58
IrcsomeBot<carguello> So on02:58
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> any app that could work well and make me like kubuntu02:58
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Umm02:58
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @Tony.U. Johnny, Well, I use Firefox … Atom … Emacs … OpenBroadcaster … Geary email client … Thunderbird email client (as well)03:01
IrcsomeBot<carguello> LibreOffice03:01
IrcsomeBot<carguello> yED editor03:01
IrcsomeBot<carguello> 🤷‍♂03:01
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Much of what I use is for college03:02
IrcsomeBot<Tony.U. Johnny> @carguello, okay hmmm it would be nice if i could get ur contact to add u as my friend you put me true03:04

DragnslcrKonversation is a good IRC client03:05
IrcsomeBot<carguello> You have here on Telegram03:05
IrcsomeBot<carguello> Just tag me (@carguello) and I'll probably reply 🤔03:05
DragnslcrDolphin is possibly the best file manager I've used. I really like Kate for a text editor.03:06
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @Dragnslcr, Dolphin is for sure03:07
IrcsomeBot<carguello> It's years ahead of Nautilus, Nemo, pcmanfm, etc03:07
DragnslcrIf you have an Android phone, KDE Connect is also really helpful03:09

qbsdwhat is the fix for the broken virtualbox-ext-pack package?03:33
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, There is none right now03:34
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, The bug is reported on launchpad03:34
qbsdso wait for it then03:35
Unit193https://launchpadlibrarian.net/368913270/virtualbox-ext-pack_5.2.10-3_5.2.10-4.diff.gz03:35
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, You have to download the ext pack and add it as an extension03:35
qbsdOk - I can do that I think I've done it before03:36
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/es/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html#extpack03:36
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, Yeah, download from the Oracle link, then on settings add it as add on03:37
qbsddid the 17.10 to 17.04 upgrade today and cleaning up. kvirc was b0rked but I added the 5 alpha from launchpad  and that took care of that03:37
qbsdlinux-tools still has a problem but at least the cpu isn't stuck down at 1.6Ghz like it was before03:38
qbsderr meant to 18.04...03:38
qbsdthanks03:38
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, xD03:41
qbsddone, working  - thanks again03:43
IrcsomeBot<carguello> @qbsd, Welcome03:43
qbsdand I am very grateful to whoever resurrected knode, I use it to follow many mail lists via gmane so i can keep that separated from 15 email accounts. been doing it so many years it is a workflow I don't want to do without03:46

josh_Anyone know how I can find out what the root mysql password is so I can create a new account for all my websites?04:22
valorie!mysql04:31
valorieboo, ubottu doesn't know04:31
valoriein general I've not used a passw with it04:31
valoriefor instance when building amarok04:32
valoriejust a return04:32
valoriejosh_: there is no root passwords in ubuntu04:32
valorie!root04:32
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo04:32
josh_valorie then how can I get into mysql and create a new user ;) - With old versions of ubuntu/kubuntu you would install mysql at the start but its already installed.04:33
valoriegood question -- I'm thinking unless some mysql expert speaks up here soon, you will have better luck in #ubuntu04:34
qbsdiirc if there is no password mysql -u root -p  should prompt you for one, then enter it again andf remember it04:34
valoriemuch larger channel04:34
josh_Ok I think I solved it. Even though mysql was installed I had to also install the standard mysql-server package. Then you can log into using sudo (it takes root computer permissions into mysql)04:37
valoriegood to know, josh_05:35
valorieI'll try to remember that for the next person who asks05:36

lordievaderGood morning*06:06
Iuz6Jakkmorning06:24
IrcsomeBot<Stranger_A> Good morning! Maybe a silly question but, which are the differences between Kubuntu and KDE Neon? They look like pretty similar...06:27
hateballKDE Neon is rolling release of the KDE/Plasma stuff, based on Ubuntu LTS, while Kubuntu does not change the KDE/Plasma versions between releases06:30
hateball!neon06:30
ubottuKDE Neon ( http://neon.kde.org/ ) is a KDE project to package the latest stable and development versions of KDE software on top of an Ubuntu base. As it is not an official Ubuntu or Kubuntu project, please use #kde-neon for discussion and support.06:30
acheronukhmmm. that factoid is not right #kde-neon is a development channel. not really the place to send people for 'discussion and support' for most people06:54
lordievaderIs there a kde-neon support channel?06:58
lordievaderI suppose  most questions can be answered here, but there may be specifics...06:58
IrcsomeBot<Stranger_A> Sorry for the wrong question07:03
IrcsomeBot<Williamszoeugo> can this KDE neon on Docker works on kubuntu07:04
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Stranger_A, Don't apologise. No problem. Neon does have a telegram goup for users though. :) … https://telegram.me/kdeneon07:06
IrcsomeBot<Stranger_A> @acheronuk, Thanks a lot07:16
otomohi, finally kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" worked!!! Now I going to updagred, but I had configured LTS upgrades and didn't work by this way, I should choose Normal Releases (it seems that is more relevant the version you use that the one you want to upgrade)08:05
jernej_Hello guys and gals, I have a question. I running a minimal kubuntu install 18.04. I installed ktorrent but have problems with opening magnet links in firefox.08:21
jernej_I get this message: The address wasn't understood Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program.08:21
lordievaderotomo: 18.04.1 ain't released yet, right? That would explain why you cant jump from 16.04 to 18.04 (yet).08:21
diogenes_jernej_, and if you copy the magnet and open it in ketorrent by /copy/paste?08:22
jernej_diogenes_: I checked online for solutions and added "network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet" to firefox, now I don't know how to tell firefox to use ktorrent to open the magnet link08:23
jernej_diogenes_:  I I copy/paste the magnet link o kotrrent it works, but I would still like to configre firefox to open them outomatically08:26
acheronukjernej_: set that value to false in about:config08:43
acheronukthen when you click on a magnet link, it should ask you what to use to open it08:44
acheronuklike https://i.imgur.com/l47FFKt.png08:46
acheronukthen in the chooser, select filesystem, and navigate to usr / bin /ktorrent and choose that08:47
jernej_acheronuk: Thank you very much, that was what I needed! :)08:52
acheronukjernej_: you're welcome. :) it's bizarre now that by now Mozilla have not made that easier08:53
jernej_acheronuk: Yeah, I wonder.. well, it was the first time I had to configure that maually, on few other install ations it worked out of the box. Well, atleast I learned something from this :D08:56

otomoanyone succeded starting with nvidia in a laptop with optimus10:39
otomo?10:39
lordievaderotomo: My laptop runs nvidia + intel with noveau.10:44
lordievader(I don't run Kubuntu on there though)10:44
otomoI have to use the nvidia drivers (not just for gaming, also for work)10:49
otomoI will try a new thing, restarting, I will back and report10:49
lordievaderWith the nvidia drivers my  laptop was unable to resume from suspend. Not saying the nouveau drivers are trouble free, but no major issues like that.10:51
BluesKajlordievader, have the same issue here since switching to Bionic, but it doesn't seem to be receiving much attention10:52
lordievaderBluesKaj: With the nvidia or nouveau drivers?10:53
BluesKajnvidia10:54
lordievaderYou could try running with nouveau.10:54
BluesKajdidn't work with nouveau either10:54
lordievaderDidn't work entirely?10:55
BluesKajcould be the BIOS...using a hybrid UEFI/BIOS ..chose the BIOS for simplicity10:55
lordievaderBIOS/UEFI should have nothing to do with this.10:56
BluesKajno legacy mode, it 's a true old fashioned BIOS on a MSI Z370 Pro mobo10:56
BluesKajreally?, then it's just coincidence i guess10:57
lordievader BluesKaj What card do you have?11:00
BluesKajnvidia GT 52011:00
lordievaderNouveau lists it as supported (NVC0): https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/11:04
BluesKajmaybe now it does , but back in feb suspend on Bionic would just turn the pc off11:06
lordievaderThat is odd behaviour. Usually if something fails during the suspend action is just resumes.11:13

kubast2When kwin --replace suddenlly breaks 99% of distros panels for no reason https://i.imgur.com/TJhY3pc.png11:44
BluesKajyup, suspend actually crashed kwin first then it shut down11:52
kubast2for me suspend causes graphical glitches on icons or text under icons11:52
lordievaderBluesKaj: Do you get the same if you run `sudo systemctl suspend`?11:54
BluesKajsome are blaming the video driver ..gonna check /var/log/sylog11:54
BluesKajnot much there11:56
=== miguel is now known as Guest73785
BluesKajlordievader, oddly enough, sudo systemctl suspend, seemed to work, but the pc doesn't respond to KB, still had to use the power button12:04
BluesKajweird12:05
lordievaderSo the kernel is able to suspend sucessfully.12:05
BluesKajseems so, wonder about sleep12:06
lordievaderSleep and suspend are often synonyms.12:07
BluesKajhibernate seems to cover both12:08
lordievaderBoth what?12:09
BluesKajhibernate seemed work for 30 secs then it shut down12:13
lordievaderThat is the point of hibernate. Write the ram contents to swap. Turn off. On next boot, load swap content into ram. Continue what it was doing before the hibernate.12:17
lordievaderSometimes this requires an additional pointer to the kernel to read the contents from swap instead of doing a normal boot.12:20

BluesKajotomo, check out bumblebee for Optimus systems15:04
otomoI will never return to bumblebee again (I spent many days on that on the past), its work very bad for many games and need adjustements sometimes for each one15:07
otomonvidia prime worked well in last years, but searching for my problem I see that there is a lot of people with my same problem in this release15:08
BluesKaj bumblebee has been rewritten in the last 2yrs or so , have you tried that?15:13
otomoI tried a little more than one year ago, also I need working cuda, as I could check Bumblebee 3.2.1 has been released on 26 April 201315:16
BluesKajno promises that it will work tho :-)15:17
otomo(that is the version in the repository)15:17
BluesKajok15:18
otomoanyway thanks for help15:18
BluesKajsome just stick with nvidia and blacklist the intel, even tho he battery drains alittle faster15:22
otomoyes when I use prime-select nvidia obviusly its running all the time after login, but now... black screen15:23
BluesKajnouveau driver?15:25
otomovery bad fps, no cuda (for work)....15:26
BluesKajtry the nvidia proprietary, which nvidia gpu ?15:27

otomowhen using the nvidia gpu I get black screen, now I am using the intel one15:27
diogenes_after upgrade?15:28
otomoyes15:28
diogenes_:) probably premature upgrade15:29
otomono, I didn't force it, I follow the steps of the official release notes15:29
otomoand this is a LTS15:29
otomoI upgrade it today15:30
diogenes_i mean i'd have waited till 18.04.1 comes out15:30
BluesKajotomo, you can try the nomodeset inplace of "quiet splash" in grub15:31
BluesKaj!nomodeset15:31
ubottuA 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 parameter15:31
otomoI already tried nomodeset, but after quiet splash, it will change anything if i delete quiet splash?15:32
BluesKajyes afaik it will15:32
BluesKajit has worked for me with nvidia drivers in the past15:33
otomook I will test right now (but in the nvidia forums the users advise now it should be necessary)15:34
