[00:52] <zxq9> iirc there was a live-cd/usb image that is made just for fixing/reinstalling grub2.
[01:19] <R13ose> Can I remote into my Ubuntu laptop from Android 8.1.0 phone to take over the desktop and use the keyboard of the Android phone?
[01:21] <gogeta> R13ose: you meean vnc in yes
[01:23] <R13ose> gogeta: will allow me to take control of desktop and keyboard?
[01:24] <gogeta> R13ose: yes there is tons of vnc apps out there
[01:25] <gogeta> R13ose: do note having anything like that open to the internet bad things can happen
[01:26] <R13ose> gogeta: no way to use internal ips?
[01:26] <gogeta> R13ose: you can
[01:27] <gogeta> R13ose: if you configure ufw to only let local ips use the vnc port
[01:27] <R13ose> Thanks.  I might try
[01:29] <gogeta> R13ose: x11vnc is the one thats easy to deal with
[01:29] <gogeta> R13ose: as it mirrors your corrent display
[01:29] <gogeta> R13ose: one you have your vnc server working any vnc client app can network in
[01:31] <R13ose> Great.  Thanks again
[01:44] <halcyon_> is there a fix in progress for the slow networking speeds on Kubuntu 18.04 ?
[02:01] <R13ose> gogeta: can I setup vnc server with a GUI application?
[03:04] <Guest10283> hi all
[03:05] <Guest10283> hi alle i did irc
[03:06] <TheSolenya> do you have a question?
[03:08] <Guest10283> have question

[05:14] <cbpye> so I may have installed myself into a bit of a bind here.  At the moment, I've booted off of the install media.  I've already (presumably) successfully installed Kubuntu, but I never saw an opportunity to press 'e' and add nomodeset to my boot line.  Booting into the new install now presents me with an unusable display thanks to the noveau driver.
[05:16] <cbpye> is there a tool on the install media that allows one to modify the GRUB configuration?
[05:24] <scorlupka> hello, guys
[05:25] <scorlupka> do someone know where I can find icons for main menu?
[05:25] <scorlupka> becuase the default one is pretty horrible
[05:25] <scorlupka> tried to google but didn't find any site
[05:28] <viewer|30091> Can anyone help me dual boot kubuntu and windows 10?
[05:47] <Larson-> hello people, are the 18.04.1 images final/safe to use? (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/18.04.1/release/)
[05:52] <acheronuk> Larson-: should be. just been a delay in updating our download page
[05:53] <Larson-> swell
[05:53] <Larson-> thanks for the update
[05:54] <acheronuk> in fact, I'll update that page right now
[05:54] <Larson-> lol :)
[05:55] <Larson-> my contribution to kubuntu: "pushing" the devs to update the download page :D
[05:56] <scorlupka> good job anyway
[05:57] <acheronuk> to be fair, edit permissions are limited, and some people have been unwell
[05:58] <acheronuk> scorlupka: you want the location of the current 18.04 one?
[05:59] <acheronuk> that is /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/kubuntu/icons/start.svgz
[05:59] <scorlupka> acheronuk: no, I am good. It took a lot of time to get previous version to work
[05:59] <acheronuk> ok. np
[05:59] <scorlupka> acheronuk: I just need new icon for main menu
[05:59] <scorlupka> but there is no place in the universe where I can download it :D
[06:00] <scorlupka> acheronuk: ASUS doesn't like linux, you know
[06:02] <acheronuk> scorlupka: DL https://git.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/+git/kubuntu-settings/tree/desktop/theme/desktoptheme/kubuntu/icons?h=kubuntu_bionic_archive
[06:02] <acheronuk> also the original KDE sources in you know where to look :P
[06:03] <acheronuk> so just not the obvious places in this universe
[06:04] <scorlupka> acheronuk: thank you!
 Hey there! … I wanted to ask, if there is a shortcut to hide the top-edge of a window (where on the right corner are the options to minimize, maximize and close a window etc.) ?
[07:41] <cbpye> does kubuntu 18.04 enable Weyland instead of Xorg by default?
[07:56] <scorlupka> cbpye: no
[09:16] <silv3r_m00n> i cant find kdesudo command on ubuntu 18.04 now what should i do to launch dolphin with root privileges ?
[09:35] <Tin_man> silv3r_m00n, from what I've read you have to hack Dolphin to run in root.  I don't like Dolphin, (myself), and Installed Nautilus, which will run as root.
[10:00] <silv3r_m00n> Tin_man: but where is kdesudo ?
[10:01] <Tin_man> just use sudo
[10:01] <Tin_man> sudo nautilus
[10:57] <gogeta> Tin_man: no hacks nedded
[11:08] <gogeta> silv3r_m00n: dolphin will not run as root. but if a root action is nedded it will prompt you
[11:11] <gogeta> silv3r_m00n: if your looking to copy and move files you need to enable that
[11:29] <vegaaaaaaa> Are the most known bugs ironed out since the last LTS release in Kubuntu?
[11:29] <vegaaaaaaa> If there were any at all... :)
[11:32] <vegaaaaaaa> I mean since the LTS came out.
[11:38] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, depends on your HW and installed drivers and apps etc
[11:40] <vegaaaaaaa> BluesKaj: True. I run Manjaro KDE and Linux Mint Cinnamon the most these days. I want something stable with an Ubuntu foundation. And with fresh KDE software. So Kubuntu is probably the best choice for me at the moment. I didn't have a good experience with neon.
[11:42] <vegaaaaaaa> On my quest for installing drivers for my Nvidia and AMD graphics cards on Mint I fcked up my install. So Kubuntu next.
[11:42] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, yeah, neon is more bleeding edge than Kubuntu. There can be problems with it alright.
[11:43] <vegaaaaaaa> I see. How minimal is the minimal Kubuntu installation?
[11:43] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, is this an Optimus equipped lartop ?
[11:43] <BluesKaj> err laptop
[11:44] <vegaaaaaaa> On the laptop I have Manjaro KDE and the WiFi isn't working properly. Most likely some bleeding edge updates that the computer didn't like. Maybe the kernel. It is on the desktop computer I will install Kubuntu.
[11:45] <BluesKaj> ok
[11:45] <vegaaaaaaa> It has an Nvidia 1070 and an AMD RX570 or something.
[11:46] <vegaaaaaaa> Not sure which of those drivers that ruined the Mint installation. I think the amdgpu did the havoc.
[11:47] <BluesKaj> Kubuntu can handle most desktop HW quite well, but 2 different brand gpu can pose a problem in some cases , especially with multiple monitors
[11:48] <vegaaaaaaa> I see. I use 1-2 monitors.
[11:48] <vegaaaaaaa> ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports is the official KDE backport?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> I don't know much about using multiple gpus/monitors
[11:49] <vegaaaaaaa> Hmm. Unsupported packages from untrusted PPA?
[11:52] <BluesKaj> from launchpad ?
[11:53] <vegaaaaaaa> Yeah
[11:53] <vegaaaaaaa> But I guess it's just a typical warning since it is not the standard experience
[11:54] <BluesKaj> you can find it here with instructions
[11:54] <BluesKaj> https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
[11:54] <BluesKaj> yeah, backports are development repos
[11:55] <BluesKaj> for early adopters
[11:55] <vegaaaaaaa> But it sounds more stable to use Kubuntu+KDE-PPA than neon or Manjaro. Right?
[11:56] <vegaaaaaaa> No bashing intended at all. Just trying to navigate the jungle.
[11:57] <BluesKaj> dunno about manjaro, but Kubuntu backport ppas are usually quite stable
[11:59] <vegaaaaaaa> Manjaro has been stable for me, KDE included, but I want the Ubuntu docs, support and guides. And I do not trust the AUR. So I think I will be happy with Kubuntu again. :)
[12:00] <vegaaaaaaa> Thanks for your input BluesKaj!
[12:00] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa,  glad to help :-)
[12:43] <vegaaaaaaa> When is 5.13 landing in the backports?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, not sure , but you can add the ninjas ppa if you're feeling adventurous https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ninjas/+archive/ubuntu/plasma/+index
[12:56] <BluesKaj> brb
[13:12] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, just installed plasma 5.13.3 and all is well so far, but I'm a Kubuntu tester so I run Kubuntu Cosmic 18.10 development OS.
[13:13] <BluesKaj> stuff to do for a few mins...bbl
[13:23] <vegaaaaaaa> BluesKaj: Nice. I will just wait for it to land in the backports PPA. No problem.
[13:27] <BluesKaj> vegaaaaaaa, yeah, gonna remove the ninja ppa now since it's stable as is. That way no conflits will come up until it's in the backports by default
[13:28] <BluesKaj> this is a normal procedure for testing edgy ppas
[13:33] <BluesKaj> ok, bbl, gonna try it on 18,04
[16:19] <phoenix_firebrd> does digikam have a official irc channel?
[16:22] <BluesKaj> phoenix_firebrd, yes
[16:25] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: is it #digikam?
[16:26] <BluesKaj>  one # indicates it's official
[16:27] <BluesKaj> bbl
[16:27] <phoenix_firebrd> ok
[16:27] <GutterKid> Hello all
[16:40] <vegaaaaaaaaaaaaa> Is "# dd bs=4M if=/path/to/kubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx status=progress oflag=sync" fine for putting Kubuntu on an USB?
[16:41] <vegaaaaaaaaaaaaa> Should I tweak the bs-value?
[17:11] <ed4567876> hi, I am on laptop and my ctrl (both keys) dont work, not even detected by xev, what can I do
[17:11] <ed4567876> ?
[21:23] <chrs> Does anyone on here use Kmymoney that would be willing to answer a few questions?
[21:25] <oft_gegong> that would be NotKmymoney
[21:25] <oft_gegong> j/king
[21:31] <chrs> Just curious. I've never used it and I'm curious about it. Why does it ask for account information during setup?
[21:31] <oft_gegong> probably because it's primarily a client
[21:32] <chrs> Does it transfer any of my banking information over the internet or access my account directly online?
[21:33] <oft_gegong> I've never heard of a KDE application that accesses bank information, let me do some check ups..
[21:34] <chrs> Awesome thank you. I did some research myself but I wasn't able to find the infromation I was looking for. If its only a local-only thing, then I dont mind, but if its wanting to do outside communication, I'm not too srue. lol
[21:35] <oft_gegong> so it's like Quicken, which is money manager software. And also like Microsoft's MS-money. I'm guessing it does things like transaction/withdrawal/deposit accounting, keeping track of money. You'll probably have to see if you bank is compatible with kmymoney
[21:36] <oft_gegong> honestly I've been using a computer a long time, my bank I usually go through their website
[21:36] <oft_gegong> with like firefox or seamonkey web browser
[21:37] <oft_gegong> it looks/appears like a 95% "outside" thing. But the logging into banking online services might be optional through a command-line switch.
[21:51] <chrs> Sorry to whoever I was speaking with about Kmymoney. My computer crashed. Stupid vmware lol
[21:52] <oft_gegong> "chrs (~chris@209.107.216.145) has left this server (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)." aha!
[22:02] <oft_gegong> chrs_:   `apt-cache show kmymoney' to show a summary of the package without having to install it
