[06:22] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:43] <dodi> I want to install Kubuntu in a virtual machine (Virtual Box). How speed up installation?
[06:47] <dodi> nobody here?
[06:55] <oerheks> howto speed up ?
[06:56] <oerheks> get a faster ssd/cpu..
[06:58] <dodi> VM with no guest extensions installed is slow. Any cure?
[07:04] <oerheks> .. the obvious: install is free
[07:07] <dodi> it's free, but not automatic. How should I proceed?
[07:09] <dodi> I cannot remember such problems with my last install (2016)
[07:09] <lordievader> dodi: Did you investigate what is slow? CPU, disk,  etc.
[07:10] <dodi> Most probably it's access to all virtual drives, eventually virtual screen...
[07:11] <lordievader> Did you check?
[07:13] <lordievader> Does Virtualbox even support changing what type of disk you provide?
[07:13] <dodi> my old VM boots within a minute, the current one takes about 10 minutes
[07:14] <lordievader> You didn't check what the disk speed difference is between the virtual disk and where it  resides on?
[07:15] <dodi> I have 1 physical disk, so this cannot make a difference
[07:16] <dodi> Perhaps I have to install development support for compilation of guest additions?
[07:17] <lordievader> That is not what I mean. For example, if the physical disk gives you 50MB/s and the virtual block in the vm only 1MB/s, you know that the conversion from virtual to physical is very slow.
[07:17] <lordievader> But if both numbers are roughly the same, you know that the disk is not the problem.
[07:19] <dodi> I'm just doing a test installation for a friend. If the installation on his system is as slow as on mine, he'll never use nor recommend to use Kubuntu
[07:20] <oerheks> recommendation based on virtualbox install ? i only take bare metal install serious, or kvm
[07:21] <lordievader> oerheks: Same here, but if you want to run it on Windows, you have very little choice.
[07:21] <dodi> My friend has a defunct CD drive on his notebook. How can he install Kubuntu then?
[07:21] <lordievader> A usb stick?
[07:22] <dodi> How does he get Kubuntu on the stick?
[07:23] <oerheks> !usb
[07:24] <oerheks> # 5 #6 #7 from ubuntu, isx or windows
[07:24] <oerheks> or osx
[07:31] <dodi> thanks for the links, I'll check the alternatives. But alternate boot is not an option :-(
[10:48] <BluesKaj> Howdy all

[12:49] <jim__> hi
[12:52] <jim__> I believe a graphics card is taking too long to initialize if four monitors are attached. if the fourth monitor is attached after the three displays comie up it will work, if all four are connected when the display initializes the display will lock up. is there a way to extend the initialization time?
 the aplicatios gnome is work to kubuntu kde ????
[13:22] <zztopless>  Evening folks.  I've just gone back to 14.04 (technically mint 17.3, but it's the same issue with kb 14.04) on one of my VMs, does anyone know how to turn off the dialog box that appears asking about configuring multiple monitors when using vmware workstation and cycling extra monitors?  I know out can be done, and used to know how, but have forgotten... :/
[13:56] <simulant_> hi can anyone help me out with my wifi please. It no longer shows or works in kubuntu anymore... not sure why, it used to work, then after some updates it no longer worked. then i upgraded to bionic and it still doesn't work
[13:58] <diogenes_> simulant_, open driver manager and see what's in there for wifi card
[14:02] <simulant_> diogenes_: it just says "your computer requires no proprietary drivers"
[14:02] <simulant_> diogenes_: nothing in there listed for graphics cards or wifi
[14:03] <diogenes_> simulant_, run: sudo rfkill list
[14:03] <simulant_> lspci shows: 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)
[14:04] <simulant_> diogenes_: ah ok it says phy0: Wireless LAN - soft blocked: no, Hard blocked: yes
[14:05] <diogenes_> simulant_, so it's your key switch
[14:05] <diogenes_> some keyboard combination
[14:06] <simulant_> diogenes_: ah blimey you're right!
[14:06] <simulant_> diogenes_: thanks
[14:06] <diogenes_> :)
[14:06] <simulant_> diogenes_: much appreciated :)
[14:06] <diogenes_> no problem
[15:29] <viewer|64020> Hello, I am a total Linux noob (switched to kubuntu on my laptop yesterday), and I would really appreciate some help
[15:30] <viewer|64020> I can't seem to change my elan trackpad speed in the settings. I tried to change it using xinput, but to no avail
[15:31] <viewer|64020> I used xinput set-prop 11 301 3.000000, but it gave me an error
[17:09] <pavel_> hello. may be someone have problem with using fish:// (ssh) on Dolphin and krusader because download speed high 8MB/s but upload only 300 -500 KB/s. test using terminal download and upload speed high, test on nautilus the same high speed but on Dolphin and krusader slow upload
[17:09] <pavel_> May be someone know about it?
[17:54] <hangar18> does anyone know how long it takes for a new username to take effect across all of the ubuntu/openid sites
[19:03] <Novell> Hi, I upgraded to 18.04 today and now I'm missing kdesudo and can't seem to find it in any package.. What package is it I should install to get it back?
[19:15] <krytarik> Novell: Debian bug 875107
[19:17] <Novell> krytarik: right, but kdesu "kdesu: command not found"
[19:20] <krytarik> Well, it's in the package "kde-cli-tools", which is installed by default anyway.
[19:21] <Novell> I see, but not installed in a usable way (by default)
[19:21] <Novell> Guess a bug should be registered that it's installed in a path that isn't included in $PATH
[19:24] <krytarik> There actually is one already - Debian bug 853899
[21:07] <estan> hm. after the upgrade to bionic, it seems bionic-backports is enabled in my /etc/apt/sources.list. is that normal? i'm pretty sure i didn't have backports enabled before the upgraade.
