[00:04] daegontaven: you are trying to install to a usb driver from virtualbox? [00:04] *drive [00:05] did sound that way [00:05] seems roundabout [00:11] Hi there! I'm using a ubuntu server and I'm not able to download any file via https using wget or curl. What am I missing? [00:15] lbracher: do you have curl or wget installed? [00:16] pavlos, yes, both [00:17] hi all, I followed the instructions in this git page: https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init and I have a server running. I messed around with it and am not sure what exactly the state it is in. The server is running after I previously killed it somehow [00:17] pavlos, for instance, `wget https://www.facebook.com` gives me "ERROR: cannot verify www.facebook.com’s certificate, issued by “/C=US/O=DigiCert Inc/OU=www.digicert.com/CN=DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA”:" [00:17] but I don't want to risk messing it up again. so I have a systemd service running, but it doesn't seem to be responding to any of my commands [00:18] I'm not sure how to debug a systemd service [00:18] lbracher: you can use the -k flag for insecure connections, eg curl -k https://www.facebook.com [00:19] pavlos, ok, thank you! But how can I fix it? [00:20] wget is compiled with openssl support [00:22] lbracher: I dont get that error if I use wget [00:24] howdy partner ;) [00:26] lbracher: try sudo update-ca-certificates [00:26] wkitty42, you there? === Aaron is now known as Guest36401 [00:41] . [00:44] Hi, anyone please could guide me with certificates? - The company added a self signed certificate and they send me the "cert.crt" file, I copied on my "/usr/local/share/ca-certificates", then ran: "update-ca-certificates". It shows fine on "etc/ssl/certs" as "cert.pem". But when I try wget or cURL I get: "unable to get local issuer certificate". Could this be a problem with certificate? Shouldn't they send me the chain.crt too? [00:44] what the easiest way to rebind keys? === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [01:14] hey [01:15] anyone there ?

[03:49] It reads the mail fine, just moves it to /home/user/mbox instead of applying the read prefix. [03:50] (Or rather, it appends it to /home/user/mbox) === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [04:05] just fired up kubuntu for the first time in 10 years. i can't seem to connect to a hidden essid (running kubuntu v18.04). anyone know how to connect to my wifi network? [04:05] i don't see any button that says "connect to hidden network" which is what i was getting in debian mate. [04:10] has anyone had any luck with installing the canonical-livepatch via snap ? === fcastillo_ is now known as fcastillo [04:43] How do you tell the livecd which partition the casper directory is on? Not folder, parition. I am adding a Ubuntu live DVD to my UEFI multiboot USB and need the right kernel parameter for that. [04:44] For example, on Arch it's archisolabel=, so what does Ubuntu have for that option? [04:47] Anyone? [04:48] depends how you made it, one can have a casper-rw file and unusual is partition [04:49] standard dvd does not have a casper thingy [04:49] Not a persistance file. I have the kernel and initrd on the EFI partition, but the casper folder containing the squashfs filesystem is on another partition of the USB drive. I did that because the EFI partition is too small to hold the entire extracted iso. [04:49] It's 16.04. [04:49] Which does have a casper folder in the installation files. [04:51] Would the UUID option here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man7/casper.7.html be how I specify the partition containing the live media? [04:53] Well, I guess it can't hurt to try that. [04:54] I'l be rebooting === fcastillo_ is now known as fcastillo [05:04] It worked.... kindof [05:05] Booted only into text mode but didn't complain of a missing filesystem.squashfs === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner === giraffe is now known as Guest28040 === success is now known as Guest81159 === dbugger_ is now known as Dbugger [06:28] Hey, is there a way to boost display brightness for built-in laptop screen?

[07:18] clear === adithy___ is now known as adithyasirigeri === coolchris is now known as Guest27835 [07:50] Hey guys. I have a tricky question. I'm running Linux subsystem for Windows 7, and try to execute a binary compiled for the same architecture, but under bare metal. It says: bash:./program cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. [07:50] At the same time the output of file is At the same time hex86_64-poky-linux-gcc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /opt/poky/2.0.3/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32 [07:51] uname -a is Linux ... 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft #1-Microsoft Tue Apr 10 18:04:00 PST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:52] So they have the same x86_64 arch, both machines are 64 bits [07:52] *linux subsystem for Windows 10, of course [07:53] !ubuwin [07:53] Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [07:54] kir: try that channel, it's more a question for them [07:54] kir, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32 is really old & reached EOL feb-2016. [07:54] hi, if someone wonder why #ubuntu-il is empty. FOSS is sabotaged in israel [07:54] guiverc_t, yes, but it runs under 4.1 on the bare metal [07:55] user03: offtopic here [07:55] ducasse, thanks [07:55] Going there now [07:56] Have a font rendering issue here: subpixel order is set to 'None' (Xft.rgba: none), yet I still get the orange and blue color fringing. So this might be a library issue, not a config one. Can anybody confirm this issue (use 'xzoom' for looking at pixels)? [07:56] :) - but Ubuntu hasn't used it since 10.04 - i can't provide more.. except I'd look for a later ver, or re-compile kir [07:57] guiverc_t I guess just file might be confused. I was building this particular executable with Yocto project scripts, so might be that it just puts some lowest requirements for the kernel in the header or whatever [07:58] kir, could be (i think the 'file' confused makes sense). try ubuwin as suggested [07:58] People : hi ! Is there a way to install a package (here ldap-auth-client) without having prompts and screens, so that this can be scripted to fit my needs and silently installs ? [08:00] i have problem , every 30mints server load goes very high and i am not able to find why ,there is no cron job in server. [08:01] htop [08:02] why is termial case senesitivy? [08:02] Found a different Ubuntu machine and subpixel:None works there, hm. What other places are there that could override the global subpixel setting? [08:02] guiverc_t, thanks [08:04] baako: what do you mean 'why'? it always has been that way [08:05] Found the culprit: a Kubuntu package was overriding the subpixel setting: "kubuntu-settings-desktop: /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf" [08:08] baako, *nix has always been this way (unless you login with UPPER CASE ONLY; THEN IT ASSUMES YOUR TERMINAL ONLY KNOWS UPPER CASE...) - gnu/linux however knows very few of us have upper/lower case only... [08:20] is there a way to download all the files needed for a release upgrade, but to delay the upgrade itself? You can do it via closing the release upgrader just before it finishes the download, but I'd prefer a method that doesn't force me into an irreversible start of the upgrade if I'm too slow to click "cancel" [08:22] on the flip side of that, is there a way to tell the regular update manager to /not/ download files unless I give it permission? I've set it to display updates immediately but haven't told it to download them, it seems to download them in the background if I tell it to update later, though [08:22] which package should i install to get a more recent linux kernel? [08:22] (both of these problems occur as I'm normally on a metered connection but get access to non-memtered connections occasionally) [08:23] !mainline | zamba [08:23] zamba: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [08:23] Where can I find what a specific dpkg-reconfigure will actually do? [08:24] ais523, apt-get has a --download-only option.. not sure about do-release-upgrade; but I use dist-upgrade to bump upgrades anyway.. [08:24] i'm afraid only by inspecting the package [08:24] it'll run it's configure step [08:24] lotuspsychje: but there are linux-image-packages with different versions.. i don't want to lock myself to a specific version.. but for instance have 4.15.x kernels automatically updated [08:24] zamba: wich ubuntu version are you on? [08:25] lotuspsychje: 16.04.4 [08:25] Falc: dpkg-reconfigure runs the configure script that the package maintainer specified; in theory that can do anything, but you can see what it does by unpackaging the package and looking at the script [08:25] lotuspsychje: maybe go for 18.04? [08:25] !hwe | zamba [08:25] zamba: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [08:25] zamba: that depends why do you need latest kernel? [08:25] lotuspsychje: features that was only available in 4.10 [08:25] but 18.04 is LTS now, right? [08:25] zamba: yes [08:26] guiverc_t: I know all the steps for upgrading a distro using dist-upgrade apart from the bit where you set the repositories; where should I look for information on how that works? [08:26] lotuspsychje: what is the default kernel in 18.04? [08:26] ah, 4.15 [08:26] !info linux-image-generic bionic | zamba [08:26] zamba: linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.15.0.23.25 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 14 kB [08:26] i DO know how to google, i just sometimes forget to :) [08:28] zamba: thats what #ubuntu is for, so you dont need to google [08:28] ais523, can you join #ubuntu-discuss please... (not sure my answer is appropriate here) [08:28] OK [08:32] LoDepriester[m]: [08:32] ergh [08:37] oho, those config and postinst scripts are even stored in the filesystem, no need to unpack === gms is now known as Guest43709 [08:49] Hi, does the Ubuntu installer have a manual package selection? [08:53] HariSeldon, you mean desktop or server? [08:53] HariSeldon server should have [08:54] HariSeldon, goedemorgen [08:54] Sorry I meant desktop. I'm new to this and I was looking at the "minimal iso". [08:54] godmorgon :) [08:55] I have an old laptop that I wanted to try to install a minimal Ubuntu on to save batterypower. [08:57] HariSeldon, I fear desktop iso doesn't have one. If you want to minimize space, you may look at Lubuntu [08:57] I was looking at that too. Lubuntu seems very nice. I also found something called WattOS that seems to be based on Ubuntu. [08:58] HariSeldon, lubuntu would be preferred, it's closer to original ubuntu [08:58] another option would be to start with the server version and then install desktop packages on it, the only real difference between desktop and server is that the server version excludes desktop-specific functionality by default [08:59] @kir, gotcha :) [08:59] @ais524, that's an idea too... but I wonder if this doesn't do the same but smaller: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:00] HariSeldon, also agree with ais523. You can even first install MinimalCD and run apt from shell later [09:00] MinimalCD doesn't have a UEFI bootloader [09:00] that is a problem on many modern systems [09:00] I saw that but apparently you just have to copy the EFI folder from the standard Ubuntu to the Minimal ISO... https://www.onetransistor.eu/2015/12/install-ubuntu-minimal-cd-uefi-enabled.html [09:01] !ping [09:01] pong! [09:01] in general I recommend matching the bootloader to the system's firmware bootloader, i.e. if the system's firmware bootloader is BIOS, install Ubuntu in BIOS mode, if the system's firmware bootloader is UEFI, install Ubuntu in UEFI mode [09:01] ais523, HariSeldon said he has an old laptop [09:01] oh, it might well actually be BIOS in that case [09:01] It supports both I believe. It's an old Thinkpad x230 [09:01] Hi [09:01] Hello [09:01] hi [09:02] if it supports both then it's best to use UEFI unless you're dual-booting with an OS that's installed in BIOS mode [09:02] HariSeldon, it has UEFI and legacy support [09:03] legacy BIOS, I mean [09:03] Yes I saw that in BIOS... I have to admit I haver very little idea what the difference is between UEFI and BIOS := [09:03] :) [09:04] HariSeldon, it's quite huge, to be honest [09:04] HariSeldon: mainly uefi uses a partition with files to boot whereas bios uses the bootloader on the disk's mbr [09:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [09:04] uefi is newer faster better with (sometimes) awful implementations [09:04] I use an ubuntu 16.04 machine as webserver with an drbd disk as storage. I have now changed the php-fpm systemd config file so the service starts after drbd. Now I have the problem that an "apt-get dist-upgrade" changed back the systemd config file [09:05] what is the intended way to do something like this? [09:05] is there a way to lock a single file, or is there an other way to overwrite the default systemd config file? [09:06] HariSeldon, as far as I understand you want Ubuntu without dual boot, so for you it's not crucial indeed, whether use server or Minimal CD iso [09:06] Thanks @kir, @ais523, @EriC^^, @Ool, Iäm going to try to make a minimal iso uefi and see if I can get it running quickly :) [09:06] @kir, honestly the laptop is so old that I will only use Ubuntu on it :) [09:06] the basic difference between UEFI and BIOS is that BIOS leaves more of the boot process for the OS to do, whereas UEFI does more in the firmware [09:07] One day if I have the time, I would love to study basic computer architecture and perephrials to understand this stuff better. :) [09:11] I was able to use accent with my "English (US Alternative Layout", I was able to write "é" when pressing (ALT-GR + ") + e , now I am writing "'e". I want to restore my ALT-GR . I dont remember where is the kebyoard configuration. I am on Linux Debian Stretch With a Cinnamon desktop. Any Help ? [09:12] if it's anything like Ubuntu's version of Cinnamon, try System Settings > Keyboard > Layouts [09:13] there's an "Options…" button on the Layouts tab you can use if the setting you need isn't on the main layouts page [09:13] for what it's worth, é on my layout is AltGr-; e or Shift-AltGr ' e [09:13] and I think that's a very common default [09:14] anyone know how to add a channel to favorites or autojoin while using androiDIRC [09:14] whoops [09:14] i entered a wrong room [09:14] sorry guys, I don't use ubuntu. [09:15] am I still welcome here? [09:16] this is a support channel, it's best to not put large amounts of offtopic discussion here; and if you want support on something non-Ubuntu-related you'll likely get better results in a channel that's more appropriate for your question [09:17] it's ok, I'm testing out Lubuntu on an Intel atom N225 netbook anyway. [09:25] That was rather simple. To get EFI install with the mini.iso minimal Ubuntu install you just had to copy the EFI folder over from the main Ubuntu ISO. :) [09:26] HariSeldon, oh, good to know [09:27] Oh and that once you've copied it over, you don't use the startup disk creator... you just copy the whole thing to an USB formated as FAT32. [09:28] wouldn't you have to mark it as bootable FAT32 (it's non-bootable by default)? I don't know how to do that on a USB stick [09:28] i just installed lubuntu on a netbook, but I don't appreciate the gui, how do I install cinnamon there? [09:28] That's the super weird thing ais523. I didn't have to mark it. I just used Disks in Ubuntu to format it to FAT32 [09:28] i know dnf doesn't work [09:30] @KenMikaze, I'm not a 100% sure but I would assume it's installing with sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-environment [09:30] or similar [09:30] KenMikaze: if you want cinnamon with its default dependencies, "sudo apt install cinnamon" should be enough [09:30] ahh, ok, thanks [09:30] i'm so used in dnf and yum. [09:31] apt is pretty similar [09:31] at least from the end user's point of view [09:31] thanks ais523 and HariSeldon === william__ is now known as william-profuse [09:41] The minimal Ubuntu install has an awesome text menu to select packages. It seems you can practically install different flavors, server, and everything else you would like. Of course I installed nothing... minimal is awesome. :D [09:57] ubuntu 16.04 x64, was running "apt update;apt dist-upgrade;", got this error about snapd, should i be worried? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VJtvwNSjNr/ [09:58] hans_: maybe run "journalctl -xe" and see what it says?

[10:20] pewdsll: I'm not sure... but out of curiosity do you have an OS or is there only images, or what is on the card so to speak in general terms? [10:23] HariSeldon: Few files and media.. not an OS [10:27] uhm, does a kernel upgrade risk overwriting the cpu scaling governor? [10:27] pewds11: Well I know that SanDisk has a pretty nifty repair tool for media. Now there is a paid version and also a free one. It's called SanDisk memory card repair tool. [10:28] huh, no, apparently, reboots does [10:28] hans_: "overwriting"? [10:28] you mean the setting on which governor to use? [10:28] yeah, i set it to "powersave", reboot, and its "performance" [10:29] it defaults to "performance" after each reboot. and it wasn't like this before i ran apt install cpupower linux-tools-generic linux-cloud-tools-generic [10:29] i guess "powersave" did something [10:29] err, cpupower* [10:30] HariSeldon: Well, the sd card is showing up along with its media in FILES but when I try copying the content onto a local folder it's throwing errors. [10:31] pewds11: What kind of errors? [10:32] hans_: I don't know about cpupower, but you could use two things that I know of. cpufreq (which exists as a package and allows you to configure stuff), and intel pstate options via sysfs, made permanent I think with sysfsutils package and /etc/sysfs.conf where you make permanent changes to /sys [10:34] HariSeldon : Splicing error input/output. I tried copying a file with many images on it & few of em got copied and then the system threw this error [10:35] hi guys, i created a file with some script and i call it test101 i then did a sudo mv test101 /usr/local/bin when i try to run the script test101 i get an error saying -bash: /usr/local/bin/test101: Permission denied [10:36] pewds11: How are you connecting the SD card? Do you have a SD slot? Or using some kind of USB device? [10:36] you need to add the execute bit on it. chmod +x /usr/local/bin/test101 [10:37] HariSeldon : I have a card reader [10:37] yo, I'm trying to recover my home folder, which is encrypted.

[10:40] HariSeldon: The card reader? umm yeah [10:41] pewds11: Wondering if you have any other device you can test your card on? [10:41] vasanth: very welcome [10:41] HariSeldon: I have tried it on windows and it isn't even detecting the card [10:48] pewds11: I would honestly try Photorec carefully [10:48] pewds11: Just to recover your stuff. Then you can reformat the SD card in the device you're using it. [10:49] pewds11: Or if you suspect the SD card is bad then replace it. [10:49] pewds11: It's open source recovery.

I guess prolly the sd card is bad.. any way I can check the health of my sd card? [10:54] pewds11: On windows with chkdsk [10:54] haha, apt remove --purge powertools.*; apt autoremove --purge; reboot; and now nothing is overwriting my cpu scaling governor :) [10:54] pewds11: on linux with fsck [10:57] HariSeldon : How do I use the fsck command on ubuntu? [10:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [10:58] find out first what filesystem is on that card [10:58] which is impossible, as it does not mount [10:58] meh [11:01] pewds11: Is it FAT32? [11:01] pewds11: https://askubuntu.com/questions/147228/how-to-repair-a-corrupted-fat32-file-system [11:03] HariSeldon : Yes it is. Thanks for the link! [11:03] pewds11: Welcome, just be careful if it's important media [11:08] HariSeldon : Yes. I tried using fsck and it returned : Logical sector size is zero. [11:10] pewds11: You could use testdisk to try to repair the broken partition, but again... it's scary stuff because you don't want to lose the media. === B is now known as Guest45708 [11:20] anyone knows how to play "Stereoscopic 3D" movies?

I have not had to install these in years, once upon a time they helped me though. [11:26] JimBuntu: I have it [11:26] (the first one) [11:28] So I have to share with someone... I installed minimal Ubuntu ISO with no extra packages. Then installed Wayland/Weston and Sway and it looks beautiful and runs fast on an old laptop. It's like... having a really fresh doughnut.

[12:03] a .desktop file specifying the name of the application and what executable to start [12:06] sorry i got disconnected [12:06] what you i should connect to? [12:08] create one with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles or extended howto https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en [12:08] i am sure there has been someone before you with the same question, and solution [12:12] baako, i'm using xfce, so have a 'run program' (with box where I can enter command, or scroll thru prior commands), plus a 'edit menu' to add commands/programs my menu; but this applies to xubuntu/xfce.. each DEsktop varies somewhat.. [12:34] HariSeldon: you are into tilling managers. have you tried full DE? i'm interested in KDE and remote desktop. but i hear that dosn't work yet [12:36] Is there a way to disable desktop effects in 18.04? [12:36] anyone know how I can get around this issue - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TttTp62yC6/ ? [12:42] donofrio, the obvious things to try are `sudo apt-get install -f`; then a `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade`... (it may not do anything...)

[13:28] open softwaresources, and remove that ppa [13:28] guys, can you tell me how to save my WINE files so i can just use them a backup instead of re-downloading everything again [13:28] wine is stored in a hidden folder, ~/.wine ?? [13:29] oerheks: i though /.wine is confguration files .. not the DLLs and LIBs [13:30] oh you want to save your wine debs? [13:31] oerheks: yes, the debs and DLLs, like the VCRUn also the DIRECTX files , MONO lIBs .. the whole doanloaded content when you confgure wine from winetricks [13:31] BaKKaR: ~/.wine is everything [13:32] oh boy, i think you need to look through dpkg log to see what wine installed.. [13:33] wine doesn't install much. Regardless, reinstalling wine/winetricks will reinstall all the needed packages. [13:33] leftyfb: i think you and oerheks are right .. it is 350+mb so i must contain the DLLs [13:34] can i ask one more question pls ...

I suspended the laptop and then woke it up again later and my login screen started refreshing about every second. I couldn [14:07] I couldn't type password fast enough and it refreshed again, then I did ctrl+alt+1, logged in and rebooted. now my laptop only boots to tty1, not GUI [14:07] anyone knows how to fix the problem? [14:08] hi === xubuntu is now known as Guest49445 [14:09] leftyfb: I want to configure modprobe to load modules from /home/user/bin directory rather than /lib/modules [14:09] hi === z0 is now known as sonhadora [14:10] sa_: why? [14:11] the nvidia desktop configuration, the resolution, is not kept after rebooting. how can I fix this? I saved the config file too, but this doesnt work [14:14] hailo' === sonhadora is now known as z0 === anders is now known as Guest70771 [14:25] Howdy. I've been toying with ~/.Xmodmap and a utility called xcape for mapping " +anything" key chords to +*. It works pretty well in my Xfce desktop, but it's really unpredictable in Gnome and sometimes breaks my terminal sessions. [14:25] I generate my html files with python and i am thinking about changing Apache configuration to index0.html instead of index.html is there any drawbacks by doing that? (sorry for my bad English) [14:27] I noticed some message in the syslog that I can't find right now, but IIRC said something to the effect of 'using Xmodmap to rebind keys is now deprecated' and to use... Gio? Glo? What's the modern way to approach this old problem? [14:29] HI tomreyn :) , i come to thank you again about your help of yesterday, my dvb-t are working great, i was listening to my favorite radio channel, and traying to get some airplane frequency lol :) [14:34] if I run dist-upgrade on 16.04 will it go to 18.04? I want to stay on 16.04 [14:35] Lope: it will not [14:35] Thanks [14:51] wkitty42, you there? [14:51] compdoc, yes... i am now... [14:52] compdoc, what's up? [14:53] I had to wait till everyone left, but I applied the kvm upgrades to my 14.04 server, and all 32 bit guests started no problems: QEMU emulator version 2.0.0 (Debian 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.43) [14:53] oops, I mean all 64bit guests [14:53] How can I login to a root terminal of my ubuntu installation without an x-server running? [14:54] can I ctrl+alt+f2 and then kill the x-server in a way that it doesn't auto-respawn? === rud0lf is now known as sudo [14:54] yes, sudo service gdm stop === sudo is now known as rud0lf [14:54] (assuming you use gdm; older ubuntus used lightdm) [14:54] mgedmin: thanks. And if I want to get into a root terminal from boot without the X server? [14:55] Is there a way to hold shift and somehow stop gdm from starting? [14:55] you should be able to boot in recovery mode from the GRUB menu [14:55] you can get the GRUB menu by hitting esc at just the right time, or perhaps by holding shift? [14:56] the recovery mode boot gives you a text-mode menu, where one of the options is to launch a root shell [14:56] last I tried it was a bit buggy -- some systemd job in the background would time out and then the system would continue on booting the full GUI after a few minutes spent in the root shell :/ [14:59] compdoc: that's weird... i did file my bug report yesterday and was asked for some more info via apport-collect but that seems to be broken on my system even after having to install a bunch of python stuff to support it... [14:59] compdoc: i'll post the link to the report later if anyone feels it necessary... [14:59] wkitty42, the diff might be I have the newer kernel with hardware enablement stack (HWE?) [15:00] hope you get it sorted [15:01] compdoc: that is probably it... we're running 14.04 LTS all the way to the end (2019 i think) and will then be upgrading to 18.04... still working on the logistics for that monstrous move... [15:01] mgedmin: Lope: "recovery mode" is not normal boot without a GUI. It's single user mode. You don't want to use that for anything other than recovering from problems [15:02] the 14.04 server is running for a customer. I need to upgrade them before long [15:02] compdoc: the downgrade worked a treat... i hope i can find what they need to fix the problem with the .43 stuff [15:10] leftyfb: thanks === ktc is now known as Guest12609 [15:45] #KDE told me to ask here. What is the latest version of KDE packaged to be able to run on 16.04.04? [15:46] launchpad + kubuntu + kde + 16.04.04 [15:47] they asked you to ask here, because they are too lazy to bing..

[15:52] well because I have plasma 5.8, but 5.9 has a feature I want, and I would like to know if I need to upgrade from 16.04 to something higher to get it or not [15:52] GunqqerFriithian: https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-16-04-lts-release-anouncement/ [15:53] GunqqerFriithian: What #KDE and some here are tring to do... is for you to do your own google search and find out... [15:53] Telling someone to "google something" is not making the community look nice [15:54] We didn't explicately tell you to... but in the time you waited for a response... you probably could have found this page: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kubuntu-desktop [15:54] indeed [15:55] hi everybody, i need a little bit help with a lte modem (fibocom l830-eb) in (k)ubuntu. i get asked for a sim pin when starting up and modem-manager-gui shows a generic mbim with correct sim provider. but i cannot find it in the tool which is used for connecting to networks. i googled already, but i didn't see anything helpful [15:55] find out where that plasma 5.9 must come from, and if that ppa has 16.04 packages [15:55] well the thing is, I have no idea how to do that, hense why I am asking [15:55] seeing as you're all useless [15:56]
