=== gurmble is now known as grumble === fishfox__ is now known as fishfox [06:28] Good morning [07:56] how can i install kubuntu alongside windows by doing the partitioning from the kubuntu installation rather than disk management [07:57] burten, i'd recommend to do it from windows with EASEUS [07:58] weird how the installer constantly freezes everytime i leave it [07:58] have to force shutdown [08:07] I just installed Kubuntu 18.04. [08:07] what are the packages most recommended to be installed on Kubuntu? [08:12] Kubuntu 18.04 is awesome. [09:45] slavekj74 was added by: slavekj74 [10:41] 'Morning folks [11:02] ive had to restart the installer 3 times so far, it always freezes at some part, then when i force shut down and restart it, it progresses a little further then freezes again [11:03] first it happened while partitioning, then while searching for file systems and now while creating the file system [11:05] belton: which kubuntu version? [11:05] 18.04 [11:06] ok, you must have an older iso version, find the latest one and try that ..tere was abug in the older version installer [11:07] weird i saw that as the latest one [11:11] It should be 18.04.1 [11:12] i got it from here https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ [11:12] 64 bit version [11:12] it could be .01 [11:12] kubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64 [11:14] i used rufus to put it on a usb [11:15] for the partition scheme: MBR, for the file system: FAT32 [11:17] mparillo_ [14:18] Hello. Does anybody know about a problem with Thunderbird 60? I've tried to install it on Kubuntu 18.04, but it crashes during start, not even showing the main window.

I just installed Kubuntu and installed Thunderbird. Now I am trying to save attachements, but it seems that Thunderbird doesn't have writing permissions. How do I set them ? [23:23] BenediktXVII: how did you install thunderbird? off a .bzip2 file? [23:24] nope, through Discovery [23:24] I checked the command in the menu, it seems to be a flatpack [23:24] bprompt: Thanks for helping me :) [23:25] a flatpack? [23:26] This is the command executed when I launch Thunderbird " /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=thunderbird --file-forwarding org.mozilla.Thunderbird @@u %u @@ " [23:28] hmmm so it should have been rooted to install I assume, maybe is trying to save the attachments to a directory not owned by that account [23:29] BenediktXVII: I don't run Thunderbird myself, but it should have permissions, unless what I can think of is, that is trying to save to a folder not-owned by the user account is running under [23:32] bprompt: I checked those permissions too. I am not fond of TB either. I prefer Kontact. But I have an issue where Kontact would not send outgoing mail. That's kind of annoying with an e-mail client ;) [23:34] hmmm [23:34] might be a permission problem, I am just checking [23:36] I tried to do download a torrent and got this error: "Unable to create /home/benedikt/.local/share/ktorrent/tor3/torrent: Permission denied" [23:36] BenediktXVII: only thing I can think of offhand is, run Discovery as root, with kdesudo, so the package has root authorizations, you could always check User Groups and add some more groups to Thunderbird [23:44] BenediktXVII: hmmm have to dash, but is what'd do, you can always try using the package installation from mozilla.org instead of using the Discovery version, the download itself is a .bzip2 file, so is pretty much just a stand-alone app, you "sudo" extract the file to whatever folder you want, and run the executable, I do that with say Firefox, unzip it at /usr/apps/firefox, with a "sudo" [23:44] bprompt: Thanks a lot for the help :) [23:45] BenediktXVII: sudo tar -xvjf thunderbird-install-file.bz2 -C folder_you_want_it_extracted_to
