Johnny, LightDM is a Display Manager [02:25] It's the login administrator [02:25] and is currently the default DM for Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu [02:25] is kubuntu n that ubuntu the same [02:26] Kubuntu uses SSDM by default [02:26] It used to use LightDM until 12.04 [02:26] @Tony.U. Johnny, So so, Kubuntu uses the Plasma Desktop + is built on the Qt framework [02:26] It uses Ubuntu repositories [02:26] Ubuntu on the other hand uses Gnome desktop atop the Gtk framework [02:27] *G*NOME *D*isplay *M*anager [02:27] okay i am only wishing i could be told how to get some real good apps and stuff could you put me through on this [02:28] use Discover [02:29] I'm fairly certain there's not activly maintained Qt lightdm greeter. [02:32] Try modding the Antergos one [02:33] hmmmm i must tell you i am lost about all this language [02:54] You'll find "Discover" in the launcher, it's for installing apps. [02:55] yes but what if u tell me good apps to go with so i would just get them [02:55] @Tony.U. Johnny, What apps do you need for? [02:58] Say, Firefox for browsing … Krita for editing pictures … Darktable for raw editing [02:58] Vlc Media player [02:58] Etc [02:58] So on [02:58] any app that could work well and make me like kubuntu [02:58] Umm [03:01] @Tony.U. Johnny, Well, I use Firefox … Atom … Emacs … OpenBroadcaster … Geary email client … Thunderbird email client (as well) [03:01] LibreOffice [03:01] yED editor [03:01] 🤷‍♂ [03:02] Much of what I use is for college [03:04] @carguello, okay hmmm it would be nice if i could get ur contact to add u as my friend you put me true [03:05] (Sticker, 512x512) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ux0JWuxe/file_6480.webp [03:05] Konversation is a good IRC client [03:05] You have here on Telegram [03:05] Just tag me (@carguello) and I'll probably reply 🤔 [03:06] Dolphin is possibly the best file manager I've used. I really like Kate for a text editor. [03:07] @Dragnslcr, Dolphin is for sure [03:07] It's years ahead of Nautilus, Nemo, pcmanfm, etc [03:09] If you have an Android phone, KDE Connect is also really helpful [03:10] @Dragnslcr, True === ayush is now known as ayush__ === ayush__ is now known as ayukez88 [03:33] what is the fix for the broken virtualbox-ext-pack package? [03:34] @qbsd, There is none right now [03:34] @qbsd, The bug is reported on launchpad [03:35] so wait for it then [03:35] https://launchpadlibrarian.net/368913270/virtualbox-ext-pack_5.2.10-3_5.2.10-4.diff.gz [03:35] @qbsd, You have to download the ext pack and add it as an extension [03:36] Ok - I can do that I think I've done it before [03:36] @qbsd, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/es/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html#extpack [03:37] @qbsd, Yeah, download from the Oracle link, then on settings add it as add on [03:37] did 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 that [03:38] linux-tools still has a problem but at least the cpu isn't stuck down at 1.6Ghz like it was before [03:38] err meant to 18.04... [03:38] thanks [03:41] @qbsd, xD [03:43] done, working - thanks again [03:43] @qbsd, Welcome [03:46] and 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 without === ZzZzZzzz is now known as redwhite === redwhite is now known as ZzZzZzzz [04:22] Anyone know how I can find out what the root mysql password is so I can create a new account for all my websites? [04:31] !mysql [04:31] boo, ubottu doesn't know [04:31] in general I've not used a passw with it [04:32] for instance when building amarok [04:32] just a return [04:32] josh_: there is no root passwords in ubuntu [04:32] !root [04:32] Do 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/RootSudo [04:33] 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. [04:34] good question -- I'm thinking unless some mysql expert speaks up here soon, you will have better luck in #ubuntu [04:34] iirc if there is no password mysql -u root -p should prompt you for one, then enter it again andf remember it [04:34] much larger channel [04:37] 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) [05:35] good to know, josh_ [05:36] I'll try to remember that for the next person who asks [06:05] Gppd ,prmomg [06:06] Good morning* [06:24] morning [06:27] Good morning! Maybe a silly question but, which are the differences between Kubuntu and KDE Neon? They look like pretty similar... [06:30] KDE Neon is rolling release of the KDE/Plasma stuff, based on Ubuntu LTS, while Kubuntu does not change the KDE/Plasma versions between releases [06:30] !neon [06:30] KDE 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. [06:54] hmmm. that factoid is not right #kde-neon is a development channel. not really the place to send people for 'discussion and support' for most people [06:58] Is there a kde-neon support channel? [06:58] I suppose most questions can be answered here, but there may be specifics... [07:03] Sorry for the wrong question [07:04] can this KDE neon on Docker works on kubuntu [07:06] @Stranger_A, Don't apologise. No problem. Neon does have a telegram goup for users though. :) … https://telegram.me/kdeneon [07:16] @acheronuk, Thanks a lot [08:05] hi, 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) [08:21] 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] 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] otomo: 18.04.1 ain't released yet, right? That would explain why you cant jump from 16.04 to 18.04 (yet). [08:22] jernej_, and if you copy the magnet and open it in ketorrent by /copy/paste? [08:23] 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 link [08:26] diogenes_: I I copy/paste the magnet link o kotrrent it works, but I would still like to configre firefox to open them outomatically [08:43] jernej_: set that value to false in about:config [08:44] then when you click on a magnet link, it should ask you what to use to open it [08:46] like https://i.imgur.com/l47FFKt.png [08:47] then in the chooser, select filesystem, and navigate to usr / bin /ktorrent and choose that [08:52] acheronuk: Thank you very much, that was what I needed! :) [08:53] jernej_: you're welcome. :) it's bizarre now that by now Mozilla have not made that easier [08:56] 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 :D [09:17] arg black screen with nvidia, now I did a prime-select intel to could load kde [09:18] the new metapackage nvidia 390 installed [09:19] i think this is the key nomodeset grub_gfxmode=vesa === jake_ is now known as xrosnight === xrosnight is now known as gggood [10:18] Hi folks [10:19] yo === marc__ is now known as marcpv === gggood is now known as fffod [10:34] hi, please, anyone can help me? I cannot open a .tar file with ark although I have 'tar' [10:38] I didn't solve the blackscreen yet when nvidia is selected in prime-select [10:39] marcpv, right click and choose extract here in the context menu [10:39] anyone succeded starting with nvidia in a laptop with optimus [10:39] ? [10:44] otomo: My laptop runs nvidia + intel with noveau. [10:44] (I don't run Kubuntu on there though) [10:49] I have to use the nvidia drivers (not just for gaming, also for work) [10:49] I will try a new thing, restarting, I will back and report [10:51] With 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. [10:52] lordievader, have the same issue here since switching to Bionic, but it doesn't seem to be receiving much attention [10:53] BluesKaj: With the nvidia or nouveau drivers? [10:54] nvidia [10:54] You could try running with nouveau. [10:54] didn't work with nouveau either [10:55] Didn't work entirely? [10:55] could be the BIOS...using a hybrid UEFI/BIOS ..chose the BIOS for simplicity [10:56] BIOS/UEFI should have nothing to do with this. [10:56] no legacy mode, it 's a true old fashioned BIOS on a MSI Z370 Pro mobo [10:57] really?, then it's just coincidence i guess [11:00] BluesKaj What card do you have? [11:00] nvidia GT 520 [11:04] Nouveau lists it as supported (NVC0): https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ [11:06] maybe now it does , but back in feb suspend on Bionic would just turn the pc off [11:13] That is odd behaviour. Usually if something fails during the suspend action is just resumes. === jake_ is now known as pppoe [11:25] well, let's test it ...brb === tobias_ is now known as sedeki [11:40] lordievader BluesKaj: resume with NVidia has been fine throughout 18.04 for me [11:44] When kwin --replace suddenlly breaks 99% of distros panels for no reason https://i.imgur.com/TJhY3pc.png [11:52] yup, suspend actually crashed kwin first then it shut down [11:52] for me suspend causes graphical glitches on icons or text under icons [11:54] BluesKaj: Do you get the same if you run `sudo systemctl suspend`? [11:54] some are blaming the video driver ..gonna check /var/log/sylog [11:56] not much there === miguel is now known as Guest73785 [12:04] lordievader, oddly enough, sudo systemctl suspend, seemed to work, but the pc doesn't respond to KB, still had to use the power button [12:05] weird [12:05] So the kernel is able to suspend sucessfully. [12:06] seems so, wonder about sleep [12:07] Sleep and suspend are often synonyms. [12:08] hibernate seems to cover both [12:09] Both what? [12:13] hibernate seemed work for 30 secs then it shut down [12:17] That 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. [12:20] Sometimes this requires an additional pointer to the kernel to read the contents from swap instead of doing a normal boot. === ZzZzZzzz is now known as redwhite === redwhite is now known as ZzZzZzzz === katnip- is now known as Guest19030 === xxx is now known as Guest56656 === Guest19030 is now known as katnip === Guest56656 is now known as chickenxxx === katnip is now known as Guest36596 === chickenxxx is now known as chickenrub === Guest36596 is now known as katnip_ === lysobit_ is now known as musalbas === markus_e92_ is now known as markus_e92 [13:42] Hamurab28 was added by: Hamurab28 [14:25] uff I didn't manage to fix my nvidia problem in 18.04 [14:28] https://pastebin.com/DuZfv57Z my grub configuration right now (already tested with and without nomodeset without success [14:29] https://pastebin.com/26L9sfCE my xorg config [14:35] resumin: kubuntu 18.04 upgraded from 17.10, laptop with nvidia optimus (that always had kubuntu without problems) [14:37] *resuming [14:49] now I am using the intel gpu, nvidia keep on resulting in black screen [14:50] any ideas?

[15:16] I 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 2013 [15:17] no promises that it will work tho :-) [15:17] (that is the version in the repository) [15:18] ok [15:18] anyway thanks for help [15:22] some just stick with nvidia and blacklist the intel, even tho he battery drains alittle faster [15:23] yes when I use prime-select nvidia obviusly its running all the time after login, but now... black screen [15:25] nouveau driver?

[15:28] yes [15:29] :) probably premature upgrade [15:29] no, I didn't force it, I follow the steps of the official release notes [15:29] and this is a LTS [15:30] I upgrade it today [15:30] i mean i'd have waited till 18.04.1 comes out [15:31] otomo, you can try the nomodeset inplace of "quiet splash" in grub [15:31] !nomodeset [15:31] 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 [15:32] I already tried nomodeset, but after quiet splash, it will change anything if i delete quiet splash? [15:32] yes afaik it will [15:33] it has worked for me with nvidia drivers in the past [15:34] ok I will test right now (but in the nvidia forums the users advise now it should be necessary) [15:34] what should be necessary? === Golum is now known as Darth_Golum [15:35] let me try and I will report the results here [15:35] right [15:45] same results, it stops when try to start SDDM [15:46] today I don't have time to do more tests, have to back to work, I will also post the problem in the nvidia forums [15:46] I will report here if some of this days I solve it [15:46] thanks [15:46] which driver is recommended for the gtx 765m [15:46] the one I am using [15:47] the new metapackage of the 390 [15:47] 390?
