[07:22] <hateball> Hmmm, how do I use ppa-purge to remove the kubuntu backports? I  cant figure out the syntax
[07:22] <hateball> I wanna remove the PPA for a clean 16.04 -> 18.04.1 transition
[07:24] <diogenes_> hateball, sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa
[07:24] <hateball> diogenes_: isnt that different to what ppa-purge does?
[07:25] <diogenes_> hateball, then: sudo ppa-purge ppa:whatever/ppa
[07:26] <hateball> diogenes_: well I cant figure out the repo name
[07:27] <hateball> I mean it's: # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu xenial main
[07:27] <hateball> but what does ppa-purge expect from that string?
[07:33] <diogenes_> hateball, i'm not that aquainted with ppa system, i use debian
[07:34] <hateball> well, I just removed the list and now upgrade is running
[07:34] <hateball> we will see what breaks and not :D
[07:41] <acheronuk> sudo ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[07:44] <acheronuk> I don't think the backports ppa should have many issues with upgrading. I tested an upgrade with a system fully loaded with KDE+backports a couple of times
[07:45] <acheronuk> note 'many', not 'any' as it's impossible to test every scenario, and apt can do weird things sometimes
[07:53] <hateball> acheronuk: it told me no such ppa existed
[07:54] <hateball> with that exact syntax
[07:54] <hateball> anyhow, 50% or so done with the upgrade, it should hopefully be done after this meeting...
[07:54] <acheronuk> typo?
[07:54] <hateball> never
[07:57] <acheronuk> hateball: oh, I forgot. leave out the ppa:
[07:57] <acheronuk> sudo ppa-purge kubuntu-ppa/backports
[07:58] <acheronuk> in fact, ppa-purge has bash completion for installed ppa names
[07:59] <hankth89> I am trying to use the file browser to connect to a server via ssh so I can easily download some files from it to my computer. I usually just do this via terminal, but for this instance it would be really handy to have some sort of GUI. On windows, I would normally use BitVise. Is this possible? If so, I am trying to use the file browser. I opened the browser and clicked "other locations" at the bottom of the bar on the left. At
[07:59] <hankth89> the bottom of the window is an address bar labled "connect to server". There is a button labled connect. I input the server name and my name like I would if I were connecting from terminal but the connect button is greyed out. I have also tried to put ssh in front of the name@address, and not putting my name. But it's always greyed out. Am I doing this wrong?
[08:01] <hankth89> nevermind
[08:01] <acheronuk> hankth89: what file browser? dolphin? nautilus? thunar?
[08:02] <hankth89> hmm, not sure. I guess just the default fot Kubuntu 18.04... it's just called Files. But I figured it out!
[08:03] <hankth89> the about: Files 3.26.3
[08:03] <acheronuk> that is gnome not KDE, but glad you go it sorted
[08:10] <hankth89> ah, I see. Dolphin is my default, but when I was typing in the search bar for a file browser, Files came up as the first result and I didn't notice that it was a different program.
[08:12] <hankth89> This is actually much more straight-forward in Dolphin. Thank you again.
[10:27] <oodsway> has anyone here upgraded to 18.04.1 from 16.0.x via CLI?
[10:34] <hateball> oodsway: I am currently doing it
[10:36] <oodsway> hateball: thanks for respoding. Did you need to change prompt to normal from lts?
[10:37] <hateball> oodsway: I just did do-release-upgrade -d
[10:37] <hateball> which put me on bionic
[10:37] <oodsway> hateball: so just the single command then
[10:37] <hateball> yeah
[10:38] <hateball> speakin of, time for reboot
[10:40] <oodsway> hateball: welcome back ;)
[10:40] <hateball> :)
[10:40] <hateball> it seems I have survived
[10:42] <oodsway> so no need to mess with prompt setting in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[10:42] <oodsway> so if prompt=normal you'd go to a dev version?
[10:43] <oodsway> but when prompt=lts you go to next LTS? Is that correct?
[10:44] <hateball> it certainly seems that way
[10:44] <hateball> I thought 18.04.1 should have been flagged for a regular upgrade by now, but perhaps not
[10:45] <oodsway> what does lsb_release -a show?
[10:47] <acheronuk> hateball: there are some critical gnome update bugs still to be fixed. and as there is only one switch to flip to enable upgrades for both ubuntu and flavours, it all waits on release team being happy they are fixed
[10:47] <hateball> acheronuk: that explains it then
[10:47] <hateball> oodsway: Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
[10:48] <oodsway> hateball: so you arrived after upgrade, but you forced it rather than being offered?
[10:49] <BluesKaj> HI folks
[10:49] <oodsway> i keep expecting to be offered upgrade, but I do all updates by CLI not GUI
[10:50] <acheronuk> oodsway: see my comment above on why upgrades are not being offered yet
[10:50] <BluesKaj> makes no difference, they 're all based on the dpkg system
[10:50] <oodsway> archeron: what is the one switch? prompt=lts to normal? or do-release-upgrade?
[10:50] <hateball> oodsway: yeah I forced it
[10:51] <hateball> first day back at work after holiday, gotta get some excitement :D
[10:51] <oodsway> archeronuk: what is the one switch? prompt=lts to normal? or do-release-upgrade?
[10:51] <acheronuk> oodsway: the switch is bionic being added to: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts
[10:51] <acheronuk> which is what release upgrade checker scripts check
[10:53] <oodsway> archeronuk: manually add? or is pushed out?
[10:54] <oodsway> my meta-relase-lts => https://pastebin.com/dWn4sUn7
[10:56] <oodsway> my release-upgrades => https://pastebin.com/XWNBiCrT
[10:57] <oodsway> archeronuk: sori, was focused on pasting ;)
[10:58] <acheronuk> oodsway: that remote meta-release-lts file is changed by ubuntu. upgrade scripts won't see a LTS -> LTS upgrade is available until ubuntu change it
[12:52] <zztopless> Evening all... Can anyone recommend a guide to getting samba shares working from kubuntu 18.04 that can be seen from windows?  I feel like I've tried just about everything :(  I can read windows shares in kubuntu and mount them via fstab no problems, but not he other way around...
[12:55] <BluesKaj> !putty | zztopless
[13:03] <zztopless> I have putty and use it (mostly to access pfsense), but I don't know how to use it to create/access shares :-(
[13:07] <moffa> zztopless just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and start the service. Then you'll have to start troubleshooting
[13:12] <zztopless> ok, will try again and post errors if/as they occcur
 After some bug install kubuntu inside ubuntu, i move on to ubuntu budgie, but kubuntu is more mature and more polish. Just litle tweak to my need, it run smoothly.. today im comeback to kubuntu using clean install
[13:28] <hateball> :)
[13:28] <zztopless> @moffa well #@&* me... I followed the instructions at https://poweruphosting.com/blog/how-to-install-samba-on-linux/ and it just started working.  I could swear I've gone through that process before, but who knows :/
[13:29] <moffa> zztopless those instructions seem fine
[13:30] <zztopless> :-)
[13:30] <moffa> You probably didn't restart the service last time
[13:30] <moffa> Glad it's working now though
[13:30] <zztopless> That wouldn't suprise me.  I would likely have been using mint kde as well, if that makes a difference?
[13:30] <zztopless> thanks, ditto
[13:33] <zztopless> I also added the line: "client max protocol = NT1" to smb.conf as instructed at: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-beaver-samba-shares.html - but seriously, I have been trying on and off for over 12 months to get samba shares working from ubuntu, tried 16.x, 17.x now 18.04.01 and mint equivilents...
[13:38] <BluesKaj> zztopless, have you tried the network folder option for windows shares on kubuntu?
[13:48] <zztopless> @BluesKaj from Dolphin?
[14:18] <BluesKaj> zztopless, yes
[14:35] <zztopless> @BlueKaj I have tried it in the past without success, haven't tried it on this new VM.  I also tried Nemo (with it's samba plugin) on both kubuntu/Mint-KDE and Mint-Mate without luck.
[14:46] <BluesKaj> well, it's a VM, the behaviour won't be the same as a bare metal install
[15:04] <bogdansima> Hello everyone! I have a problem with akonadi. In .locat it takes 13 Gb of space. What can I do?
[15:08] <zztopless> @BlueKaj For sure, but I have also tested it as a host installation on another machine with the same issues
[15:18] <bogdansima> Anyone here?
[15:39] <BluesKaj> bogdansima, are you using kmail and akonadi server?
[16:42] <someone_> Hi
[16:42] <someone_>  What is the diffreance between xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 and X.Org X server and Why I can't install them togather ?
[16:43] <someone_> Why I have to remove X.Org X server to install xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 packages ?
[16:44] <Delvien> its not uninstalling the xserver all together, its just uninstalling non-hwe, and installing hwe versions of xserver
[16:46] <someone_> Delvien "hwe" What does it mean ?
[16:48] <Delvien> hardware enablement
[16:49] <Delvien> I assumed you knew what it was, since you were trying to install it
[16:49] <Delvien> :)
[16:53] <someone_> Delvien Actually I don't,  I'm just try to find a solution for increasing heat of processor when I play a game, it seems to me that GPU does not work and intel driver does not install properly.
[16:55] <Delvien> igpu, or dedicated?
[16:56] <leftyfb> someone_: you've been told over and over again. Your system is in a completely unstable and somewhat broken state. Against the advice of multiple people in #ubuntu, you've installed countless applications from source, PPA's and manual packages from debian and god knows where else. Your machine is in a completely unsupportable state. You need to discontinue asking for help until you wipe and reinstall your machine.
[16:57] <Delvien> #ouch
[16:58] <someone_> Delvien my card is  intel hd graphics 4000.
[16:58] <someone_>  leftyfb, My system is fine and I fixed it.
[16:59] <diogenes_> someone_, and what are your expectations from an intel integrated graphics?
[16:59] <leftyfb> someone_: no, you "fixed" it by installing packages manually from a non-supported source after you were told how to properly fix the immediate issue. You might have got around the immediate errors but are still running a very unsupported system with all your packages compiled from source, ppa's and outside/unknown sources. Your machine is a mess and cannot be supported by anyone but yourself at this point
[17:04] <Delvien> gaming on an hd4000 doesnt sound like a great idea to begin with :( that thing is over 8 years old.
[17:04] <someone_> leftyfb First, I have installed packages only from oibaf ppa, and I removed them and I returned to supported Ubuntu packages.  Second, I told I can't reinstall the system, I have been using this since 2016 , I have a lot of programs and customization there .
[17:05] <leftyfb> 2018 Aug 05 10:09:58 <leftyfb>	someone_: you have an Intel video chipset. You have to realize "performance" isn't one of it's selling points.
[17:05] <diogenes_> ^^^
[17:06] <leftyfb> diogenes_: we've been through all this with someone_. They refuse to listen.
[17:06] <diogenes_> leftyfb, i see
[17:06] <someone_> yes, but on windows people does not face increase CPU heat when they play a video or a game .
[17:07] <Delvien> How much "heat" are we talking about?
[17:07] <Delvien> lol
[17:07] <Delvien> well that answers that
[17:07] <diogenes_> someone_, make an experiment, install windows and try to play there and measure the temperature, then we will be able to draw the conclusions
[17:08] <pragmaticenigma> more apropo, Linux is in it's infancy when it comes to gaming. It's got a ways to go before reaching parity with other platforms.
[17:08] <someone_> Guys now I just came here to find an answer to my question, it is not a support question, it is just a general question .
[17:09] <Delvien> pragmaticen one day we will though, and it will be glorious
[17:09] <Delvien> someone_: I think I answered that too, i hope :)
[17:10] <someone_> Do you think "hwe" packages are better ?
[17:10] <pragmaticenigma> someone_: Then that would be offtopic. wouldn't it... seeing as this is a support channel
[17:10] <pragmaticenigma> someone_: That is grossly offtopic... Polls are not support worthy
[17:10] <leftyfb> someone_: refusing to reinstall your OS because of "I have a lot of programs and customization there" is an indication that you have no idea what you're doing and keep throwing customizations and apps from unsupported sources and that now is a great time to start over and learn how to get your system back to a stable state and even throw some of your customizations in, preferably by supported means.
[17:13] <someone_> My system is fine it has no problem, and when I talk about customization I mean KDE customizations, and other programs such as netbeans .. etc
[17:14] <pragmaticenigma> someone_: Also, the age of your installation could be the very root cause of your performance issues. All that old stuff sitting around in there. Surprised you haven't bothered looking up how to install fresh and being able to restore your preferences without having to do it from scratch
[17:15] <someone_> I don't know what can I say.
[18:35] <bogdansima> BluesKaj: yes I amusig kmail and akonadi
[18:36] <bogdansima> BluesKaj: I've solved it. Thanks.
