[01:36] <chris1> Hello,
[01:36] <chris1> Is anyone here having issues with the snap installation of spotify? It will not let me change the dowload directory due to "insufficiant permissions"
[01:41] <valorie> hmmm, was not aware that there was a snap of that, chris1
[01:41] <valorie> I would ask in #ubuntu which is a much larger channel
[01:41] <valorie> Kubuntu doesn't package or handle snaps or spotify
[01:51] <Tin__man> chris1, Pithos is a linux version of Pandora, and it does well.
[02:09] <chris1> valorie thank you I will :)

[03:06] <Khaotic> any idea what can make the sudo command take a long time to execute? only thing that is different is that I tried to install the driver for my wireless usb adapter

[03:31] <robertmeta> Trying to puzzle out how to set gamma with nvidia drivers for only a single screen.  I can do it with the nvidia x-server stuff, but it seems like the KDE gamma takes over it, but won't let me do it per-screen
[03:31] <robertmeta> adjusts both

[10:59] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:19] <jrss> So last night I was playing a game. I got pissed, ctrl+f4 to get out of it. Not unusual for me.
[11:19] <jrss> Kubuntu crashes. Computer restarts.
[11:19] <jrss> No more Kubuntu. Computers starts into Windows, and no matter how I choose my hard drive in bios selection, no Kubuntu anymore. nothing.
[11:19] <jrss> I looked online, found this thing, boot repair. Tried it.
[11:20] <jrss> now grub has me in some emergency mode loop for kubuntu (doesn't boot, keeps trying) and there's no more windows either.
[11:20] <jrss> Currently trying to create windows media tool, and see if I can use that to repair the boot somehow.
[11:20] <jrss> no idea what happened, or why. I have an idea that the repair tool killed windows, ok. but before that, no
[11:22] <BluesKaj> jrss, did you try the recovery/alternate kernel in grub?
[11:23] <jrss> yes, there are four option, two "regular" and two .. um.. I think it says recovery
[11:24] <jrss> a menu shows up, I can't move the curour because my keyboard is not responding
[11:24] <jrss> it's backlit LED, and the light is off completely.
[11:24] <jrss> (in this boot mode, otherwise it's working fine)
[11:28] <BluesKaj> why did you exit the game with ctl+F4 , whynot use the escape key?
[11:28] <SlashLife7> Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/
[11:44] <EvanR13> Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/
[11:45] <BluesKaj> damn bot attacks
[11:58] <stalled16> Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/
[11:58] <timwis16> Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/
[12:05] <jrss> hmmm maybe it's my cmos battery
[12:05] <jrss> computer crashes, can't see all hard drives, keyboard is dead....
[12:06] <jrss> and most important, time zones, it always resets
[12:06] <jrss> yep. I think that's the thing.
[12:06] <oerheks> jrss, indeed, symptoms of a dead bios battery
[12:06] <BluesKaj> jrss, my colleagues tell me that using ctrl+F4 should not have anything to do with grub
[12:06] <jrss> oerheks, this you can get in any staples or best buy right?
[12:07] <oerheks> jrss, sure, i usually take one from an old pc
[12:07] <jrss> BluesKaj, yeah I think it's just coincidence. I can't even get into BIOS now because keyboard is just dead. won't power up from USB, no reaction
[12:07] <jrss> oh hmmmmmm
[12:07] <jrss> I might be able to do thatr
[12:08] <oerheks> CR2032
[12:08] <jrss> but how much do they cost? can't be that much
[12:08] <oerheks> less than $5
[12:09] <oerheks> but if you need to travel 10 miles+, i would check for anunused pc
[12:10] <jrss> nah i'm in the city
[12:10] <jrss> I was planning a walk to the library anyway, then it's like 3 minutes from there
[12:10] <jrss> Staples that is.
[12:11] <jrss> are there different kinds? last time I did something like that was ages ago
[12:15] <oerheks> i just gave you a number
[12:16] <oerheks> CR2032 .. or the weaker CR2016
[12:17] <BluesKaj> such a small thing can cause such chaos
[12:20] <oerheks> building a pc, and not using all spacer positions, that also act as a electric ground point, harder to detect
[12:20] <oerheks> :-D
[12:21] <oerheks> $0.15
[12:25] <BluesKaj> yeah , oerheks I mounted a new mobo in an OEM  box and there were fewer mounting screw holes than the mobo had
[12:25] <jrss> sorry oerheks I missed it
[12:25] <jrss> saw it now
[12:26] <jrss> I hope that would be it. meh
[12:28] <BluesKaj> jrss, the number is plainly stamped on the battery
[12:30] <jrss> ok. yeah I'll open it up in a sec
[14:38] <oerheks> Set /umode +R if you're getting tons of nonsensical PMs
[14:47] <BluesKaj> oerheks, yeah , which to avoid that?
[14:47] <BluesKaj> mode
[14:48] <oerheks> the + R is for registered users only, pm
[14:50] <BluesKaj> how to set tho? I'm getting unknown command in the server
[14:52] <BluesKaj> got it now
[15:22] <jubo2> 18.04.1 is released tomorrow?
[15:22] <jubo2> I can hardly wait
[15:40] <Compu> jubo2: same
[15:43] <jubo2> I've been told that the distribution upgrade from 16.04.4 and 17.10.something should be smooth sailing .. from 15 -> 16 (iirc) there were some major architectural changes which caused troubled upgrades
[15:44] <Compu> and here's me still on ubuntu 14.04 >.>
[15:44] <Compu> supported until 2019 <.<
[15:46] <jubo2> Hold on.. this says the release is today (at least for Ubuntu) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule
[15:46] <jubo2> Is Kubuntu 18.04.1 out already?
[15:46] <Compu> check the website
[15:47] <Compu> nope
[15:47] <jubo2> Compu: URL plos
[15:50] <Compu> jubo2: https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/
[15:53] <jubo2> That does not state the release date fo 18.04.1
[15:58] <Compu> no but it shows it's not out yet
[16:05] <mparillo> If you want to save time, you can zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/bionic/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync
[16:26] <pineapplelover_> hello I am running ubuntu 16.04 and update manager is not showing 18.04 for upgrade
[16:26] <pineapplelover_> someone told me I should wait for ubuntu 18.04.1 to be released...
[16:26] <pineapplelover_> which I think they did today
[17:11] <jubo2> That reminds me.. Pineapple contains Bromelain which is nature's effective cough medicine. When is the Kubuntu 17.04.1 coming out..? Searching I don't find the release schedule.. maybe I suck at searching
[17:12] <jubo2> typo.. of course meant 18.04.1
[17:15] <robertmeta> Trying to puzzle out how to set gamma with nvidia drivers for only a single screen.  I can do it with the nvidia x-server stuff, but it seems like the KDE gamma takes over it, but won't let me do it per-screen
[18:21] <viktor> Hey, any news on when kde 5.13 will be available for kubuntu 18.04 ^_^
 @viktor, Only in the Backports PPA
[19:31] <viktor> Even in backports it's still 5.12 :/
[19:35] <oft_gegong> I love KDE, it has an option to swap CapsLock:Escape keys and it has the option to turn down the volume/brightness of the screen. spiffy
[19:41] <genii> viktor: It's in the kubuntu experimental PPA currently if you're that impatient and want to test.
[19:41] <robertmeta> oft_gegong: it is very nice, I want per-screen gamma -- but can't seem to find out how to set that via the KDE gamma tool
[19:42] <genii> ( insert the usual dire warnings here about using PPAs )
[19:50] <oft_gegong> robertmeta: there might be a way to set per-screen gamma, let me check my configs..
[19:51] <oft_gegong> robertmeta: ~/.config/kgammarc  #<---it's located at this file
[19:51] <oft_gegong> if you edit it the screen may update on-the-fly, I'm 68% sure
[19:52] <oft_gegong> I found the file by going:    cd ~; grep -RsHIni gamma ./
[19:53] <viktor> genii: any idea when it will be in main backports repo?
[19:56] <genii> It would probably be in the updates repo, and not backports.
[19:57] <genii> Backports are when a newer application or framework are ported back to a previous version of *buntu from a current one
[19:58] <viktor> oh okay, I was told to expect it in the backports repo
[20:01] <viktor> so how (and when) can we (kubuntu 18.04 community) get kde 5.13?
[21:02] <jrss> Dear people of Kubuntu. I need your help. My computer won't boot to Kubuntu anymore, and, as of last night when i tried the repair tool, it won't boot to windows either.
[21:03] <jrss> I get emergency mode, and asked to press ctrl+d to continue, and when I do, it repeats. it's a loop
[21:03] <jrss> help me get my kubuntu and windows back? >.>
[21:03] <oft_gegong> hmm sounds like you disabled hard drive in BIOS
[21:04] <oft_gegong> or enabled secure boot
[21:04] <oft_gegong> or something like that
[21:05] <jrss> ok update. I played around with some USB live CD (I have no idea what I did) and now grub asks me for ubuntu or windows 10. windows 10 was not an option for the last 24 hours.
[21:05] <jrss> So I can now boot intwo windows 10.
[21:06] <jrss> There are many things here.. I replaced my CMOS battery too... I don't know where to start
[21:06] <jrss> and I had some beer. to make things easier. to explain. you see.
[21:06] <jrss> >.>
[21:10] <jrss> this is very weird. What i did is trying to create windows 10 live CD. After I restarted my computer, and tried to start from my main hard drive, suddently windows 10 became an option. it was NOT there forever.
[21:10] <jrss> I still can't boot into Kubuntu, seems like. It boots into emergency mode loop
[21:11] <oft_gegong> hmmm sounds like something messed with the boot loader
[21:12] <jrss> how would you go check these, so it doesn't happen again?
[21:12] <oft_gegong> hmmm
[21:12] <jrss> I am now creation windows 10 "live CD" and I will create a kubuntu one as well
[21:12] <jrss> before I try to restart again
[21:12] <jrss> *creating
[21:13] <oft_gegong> yeah a Kubuntu liveDVD is definitely recommended, then you can get in a live environment, chroot in, and reinstall grub2
[21:13] <jrss> I thikn that's kind of what the boot tool did before, but it really messed up stuff
[21:14] <jrss> I'm not sure why it "forgot" there's Kubuntu on this computer to begin with
[21:14] <oft_gegong> Let me tell you really quick, I 98% suck with grub2, I don't understand when boot-loaders get burned into the hard drive at /dev/sda, I don't understand it. Not to mention ext4 partitions being bootable flag in gparted, it's weird. UEFI VS legacy boot in BIOS makes things even weirder.
[21:14] <jrss> maybe it was my CMOS battery all along
[21:14] <jrss> hmmmm
[21:15] <oft_gegong> jrss: you can tell the CMOS battery is going out when you go into BIOS settings and the time is 1970
[21:15] <jrss> so what you're saying is I should have more beer and trust everything you're saying and hope for the best?
[21:15] <jrss> cool.
[21:15] <jrss> oft_gegong,  oh it was going out alright. but I ignored it. because I'm smart, see.
[21:16] <oft_gegong> drink beer, get some pizza, and just install Linux Mint, j/king. I mean install Kubuntu on a USB or put Kubuntu as a liveUSB on a USB with unetbootin like what I have or something jeez
[21:17] <oft_gegong> basically what you really need is a recovery DVD or recovery USB that has some linux like kubuntu
[21:17] <jrss> i am coming from linux mint actually :p
[21:18] <oft_gegong> that way you can run gparted/fdisk to work with the partitions on your hard disk
[21:18] <jrss> yeah. I have kde partitions or what not
[21:18] <jrss> I can use that right
[21:18] <oft_gegong> whoa KDE has a partition manager
[21:19] <jrss> yep, comes built in with KDE
[21:19] <jrss> it looks nice
[21:19] <oft_gegong> whoooooooa
[21:19] <jrss> you didn't know?
[21:19] <jrss> :D
[21:19] <jrss> is cool, not making fun, happy to inform you then
[21:20] <oft_gegong> yeah it looks good
[21:21]  * oft_gegong scratches head "I'll probably just keep with gparted as I had no idea about this and whether gparted has other beneficial ways of using it"
[21:23] <jrss> I'm making the kubuntu live CD now
[21:23] <jrss> say, besides plasma, lots of differences between u and k?
[21:29] <valorie> jrss: yes, KDE Frameworks rather than the gtk libraries
[21:30] <valorie> and the application are 99% different
[21:30] <valorie> the only common one is Firefox afaik
[21:32] <jrss> so now getting into kubuntu with live CD
[21:33] <jrss> how should i go at repairing the bios ?
[21:33] <oft_gegong> you could try resetting the BIOS to default settings if you've messed it up too badly
[21:34] <oft_gegong> I'd 13% recommend that
[21:34] <jrss> dude I have no idea how it was before lol
[21:34] <jrss> I just know that choosing the hard drive kubuntu is on doesn't boot kubuntu
[21:35] <oft_gegong> yeah same here I don't know I'm doing 30% of the time when I'm fixing something in the BIOS. seriously. like there was this setting to change between hardware and software controlled, I was setting that like a random binary digit
[21:36] <oft_gegong> if you asked me what it was set to after booting I wouldn't've known
[21:38] <jrss> hmmm
[21:38] <jrss> I mean i can just instlal the whole thing again I guess
[21:39] <jrss> see that's another thing. windows has the recovery partition in that hard drive.
[21:39] <jrss> I don't wanna mess THAT up if I reinstall
[21:39] <jrss> oyyyyy.
[21:44] <jrss> guess I'll just wait until someone can help me with that hmmm
[21:44] <jrss> or do I contiue.
[22:09] <jrss> ok I really don't know what to do. Can't boot to windows, can't boot to kubuntu
[22:09] <jrss> ugh.
[22:09] <jrss> I think the boot repair tool is messed up. for my needs anyway
[22:33] <jrss> sooo I need help have grub figure out I have a windows installtion
[23:43] <valorie> `sudo update-grub` always works in my experience
[23:43] <valorie> but jrss needs to stick around!
