IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Good morning!09:42
IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Phil Linux: … Hey guys! Just came from a friend who wanted to try Linux. Discover really blew the show! Typing "thunderbird" repeatedly did show everything but thunderbird!09:42
IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> In Kubuntu 18.04.09:43
IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Very sad and a very good reason to backport newer and better versions of discover to 18.04!09:43
lordievader!info thunderbird10:02

IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> I really do not get what you are trying to tell me.10:30
IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Normally I find it in discover. Just this time I did not find it. Retried repeatedly and still no luck.10:31
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, Not Discover's fault in this case as far as I know. A Ubuntu issue in it's appstream data, which is what Discover uses to know what is available.10:56
IrcsomeBot1<Phil Linux> Oak. What's the solution if a non-CLI-user like my friend wants to install thunderbird?10:57
IrcsomeBot1<acheronuk> @Phil Linux, Muon package manager I guess10:58

HeebieHello.   For some reason, KDE's clock is showing me the time, and the settings dialogue is showing my timezone, in LMT (Local Mean Time.. a "nonsense" time zone) resulting in time within KDE being one hour ahead of IST (Irish Standard Time.. not India Standard Time, in this case.)  Anyone know whom I should get in touch with about this mistake?11:35
dodiHave several problems with 18.04 installed from live CD.11:55
dodiNumPad in cursor mode does not handle CTRL properly11:55
BluesKajHey folks12:05
ainzHello12:30
dodiHow do I get multiple workspaces?12:37
BluesKajdodi, you can use virtual desktops or actitvities or both in kmenu system settings>workspace>desktop behavior12:39
dodiThanks, missed "Arbeitsflächen" in the German version12:42
BluesKajworkspace:-)12:43
dodiAlso an idea about keyboard configuration?12:45
ainzIs there a way to stop the kde taskbar from freezing? I'm on kubuntu (installed it on Ubuntu 18.04 instead of downloading kubuntu directly)12:46
IrcsomeBot1<kusuma_loka> @ainz, I think its not wise to install kubuntu from ubuntu. Because sometimes its unstabble13:14
IrcsomeBot1<kusuma_loka> Based on my experience13:14
Captain_HaddockHello, I'm trying to upgrade to 18.04 from 17.10 and the upgrader crapped itself and quit saying that my system is now unstable. Help?15:16
TJ-Captain_Haddock: #1 Don't Panic :)15:18
TJ-Captain_Haddock: there *should* be logs, I think under /var/log/dist-upgrade/ or similar - long time since I needed to look at those15:18
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Thanks. Yes, I see a lot of logs.15:19
Captain_HaddockTJ-: I looked up a bunch of Googled solutions and from what I can tell, apt is no longer functional. dpkg quits stating "too many errors"./15:21
TJ-Captain_Haddock: ouch. Were you dist-upgrading from the GUI, or from shell?15:22
Captain_HaddockGUI15:22
Captain_HaddockIt threw up a bunch of issues during the upgrade, but offered to ignore it.15:23
Captain_HaddockIsn't it supposed to check for incompatibilities before proceeding? :/15:23
TJ-Captain_Haddock: OK. first, check the obvious. Is there disk space free? "df -h" and "df -ih" to check free-space and inodes respectively15:23
Captain_HaddockThere's 51G free.15:24
TJ-Captain_Haddock: sounds like almost enough :p15:24
Captain_Haddock:)15:24
TJ-Captain_Haddock: can you pastebin the dist-upgrade log that seems most recent/relavent ?15:24
TJ-s/relavent/relevant/15:24
Captain_HaddockTJ-: These are the available logs: apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz  apt.log  apt-term.log  eipp.log.xz  history.log  lspci.txt  main.log  term.log  xorg_fixup.log15:25
Captain_HaddockThey're all dated for today.15:25
Captain_HaddockMost recent are main.log  xorg_fixup.log  apt-term.log  history.log  term.log15:26
TJ-Captain_Haddock: term.log sounds most juicy :)15:28
Captain_HaddockTJ-: This is main.log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pc2NgPGxX4/15:30
TJ-Captain_Haddock: line 1324 looks like the key15:31
TJ-Captain_Haddock: which, back at line 1280 shows " ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libgphoto2-port12': '40.9543:package libgphoto2-port12:amd64 2.5.14-1 cannot be configured because libgphoto2-port12:i386 is at a different version "15:32
Captain_HaddockTJ-: term.log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/S5C67KJB2F/15:32
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Not sure what that is. But I do have gimp installed.15:32
Captain_HaddockThere's also a couple of PPAs for games.15:32
Captain_HaddockLet me check15:32
TJ-Captain_Haddock: Have you yet tried "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" ?15:34
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Flightgear, Lutris, Skype, Google Chrome, nVidia drivers, and Opera are the other repositories that I can see.15:34
Captain_HaddockTJ-: "apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libzstd.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"15:35
TJ-Captain_Haddock: ouch, it's much worse than I feared. Don't be tempted to reboot15:38
Captain_Haddock:(15:38
TJ-Captain_Haddock: try "sudo dpkg --configure -a"15:40
TJ-Captain_Haddock: you may need to repeat that command multiple times if it manages a few then gets stuck again. This assumes it can load all the libraries it needs15:41
Captain_HaddockTJ-: That halted stating "too many errors".15:41
TJ-Captain_Haddock: hmmm15:41
Captain_HaddockThe first error: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libquadmath0:amd64:  libquadmath0:amd64 depends on gcc-8-base (= 8.2.0-1ubuntu2~18.04)."15:42
TJ-Captain_Haddock: lets try 1 package at a time, in case we can coax it. "sudo dpkg --configure libisc169:amd64"15:43
Captain_HaddockTJ-: This is the dpkg output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ctnsqnqZsN/15:43
Captain_HaddockTJ-: libisc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8P6FyDTXp4/15:45
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Is it possible to get apt-get working first? Won't that help with the others?15:47
TJ-Captain_Haddock: At this point it could be a rabbit-hole, chasing broken library dependencies15:49
TJ-Captain_Haddock: to see if dpkg can make progress, try "sudo dpkg --configure libssl1.1"15:50
Captain_HaddockTJ-: That worked!15:52
Captain_Haddock$ sudo dpkg --configure libssl1.1 Setting up libssl1.1:i386 (1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...15:52
Captain_Haddock(But that's all it said.)15:52
TJ-Captain_Haddock: right, so if we can get the correct sequence we may be able to get it to hobble :)15:52
Captain_HaddockOK :)15:53
Captain_HaddockI'm also looking at this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/176485815:53
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1764858 in apt (Ubuntu) "Can't update / install / delete packages due to missing libzstd.so.1" [Undecided,Invalid]15:53
TJ-Captain_Haddock: try "sudo dpkg --configure libzstd1"15:53
Captain_HaddockTJ-: $ sudo dpkg --configure libzstd1 dpkg: error processing package libzstd1 (--configure):  no package named 'libzstd1' is installed, cannot configure Errors were encountered while processing:  libzstd115:54
TJ-Captain_Haddock: "find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'libzstd1*' "15:54
Captain_HaddockTJ-: There's a hit. /var/cache/apt/archives/libzstd1_1.3.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb15:55
TJ-Captain_Haddock: right, now try "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libzstd1_1.3.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb"15:56
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Success! apt-get update also worked!15:56
TJ-Captain_Haddock: right... see if you can make some more progress now15:58
TJ-Captain_Haddock: "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install"15:58
Captain_HaddockTJ-: 172 upgraded, 43 newly installed, 1 to remove and 467 not upgraded. 1309 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0 B/1,662 MB of archives. After this operation, 238 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]15:59
Captain_HaddockShall I proceed?15:59
TJ-Captain_Haddock: yes :)15:59
Captain_Haddock(Still unpacking.)16:02
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Looks like it went pretty well. There were a few grey bits, but they seem fine.16:14
TJ-Captain_Haddock: you can always re-run that command to clean up if needed16:14
Captain_Haddockapt-get update + upgrade throws up more stuff. Installing those too.16:15
TJ-Captain_Haddock: you might need to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" to ensure all NEW versions are fetched16:15
pycetUpon plugging a USB mouse into my laptop, the following two system settings get reset: 1) Input Devices -> Trackpad -> Scrolling -> Reverse Vertical Scrolling (switches to disabled) and 2) Trackpad -> Pointer Motion -> Accelleration (switches to slowest). Running Kubuntu 18.10, Dell XPS 936016:24
pycetHow can I prevent those settings from getting overridden every time I connect a wired mouse OR what kind of shell script could I use to programtically set the config files16:25
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Thanks mate. Looks like everything's upgrade OK. You're a life saver :)  Time to reboot. *Fingers crossed*16:31
Captain_Haddockupgraded*16:31
TJ-Captain_Haddock: I'll cross them :)16:32
Captain_HaddockTJ-: Thanks again. The system looks to be pretty stable. No issues so far besides an Nvidia one. But that comes and goes.17:46
Captain_HaddockCheers :)17:46
TJ-Captain_Haddock: nice to know... it's a few years since I had to rescue a broken release-upgrade17:46
Captain_Haddock:)17:50
solracHello. Im kinda needing help with a touchpad issue19:27
bpromptsolrac:  hmmm touchpad issue?19:33
bpromptsolrac:   just get a mouse =)19:33
solrac:v19:34
pycetIt's actually the mouse getting plugged in that seems to cause the touchpad to lose its settings19:35
bpromptsolrac:   well, what's the issue then? :|19:35
solracIve an ETPS/2 Elantech touchpad, but I can't get it to work; Im running the i8042 .reset, .nomux, .nopnp and .loop options but it still doesnt work19:35
bpromptpycet:   is the mouse is plugged in, you shouldn't need the mousepad, no?19:36
solrachowever, upon running dmesg I get an error https://pastebin.com/jJav4RVT19:36
pycetWhen I unplug the mouse to use the laptop "mobiley", the touchpad is super slow and the two finger scrolling direction reverses... I have to manually readjust the setting every time I "undock" (not actually using a dock, just the figure of speech)19:36
pycetBut @bprompt, you are correct. I do not use the touchpad while I'm connected with the mouse19:37
bpromptsolrac:    https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360360   <---- maybe?   as suggested there19:39
solracchecking19:39
solracso...uninstall *evdev and *synaptics?19:41
solracI mean arent those used by other parts of the input system?19:41
solracI know its not called like that but you get me :V19:41
bpromptsolrac:    synaptics is for the touchpad only19:42
solracand evdev? s:19:42
bpromptsolrac:   sure, try it, bear in mind, that some packages may be included on other installations19:44
bpromptsolrac:    so just because you're removing it, doesn't mean the functionality is gone, or another package doesn't provide it19:44
solrachere goes :V19:46
solracbrb19:47
solracback..19:51
solracit didnt work19:51
bpromptsolrac:   shoot... dunno myself...seems lack of drivers19:53

riidomHello, what does it mean when there is a yellow bar next to an icon in task bar, instead of a blue one?21:17
Captain_Haddockriidom: Have a screenshot?21:20
riidomI just clicked it now it's gone.. so no sorry Captain_Haddock21:22
riidomit was on my steam client.. I suspect something with "activity happened"? Also the icon has a yellow-ish background21:22
riidomhad*21:23
Captain_Haddockriidom: No worries. Yes, it could have been an alert of some kind.21:40

Edistoanyone having problems with streamtuner2 not loading shoutcast playlist?22:46
bpromptEdisto: since I don't use streamtuner2, so no :)22:48
Edistohmmm... i guess i might have to switch to guayadeque or whatever its called22:49
Edistoyou know I have to say... other than breaking things by updating while you're doing something kubuntu is far better than gnome22:56
valorieEdisto: nothing broke at all for me on my recent update to cosmic beta23:05
valorieI'm considering doing it on this box, my main laptop23:05
Edistoi was updating yesterday and my sound went out, then my firefox stopped visiting pages, and there was a 3rd but I can't remember where I had to reboot and they all restored23:11
Edistoin gnome whenver i ran an update everything kept working23:11
Edistowith reboot required. But that's small I guess. I was thinking at the time it was major23:12
Edistountil i rebooted23:12
Edistoer  with no reboot required23:20
valoriereboot is pretty much always a good idea23:33
valorieor at least logging out and logging back in23:33
=== genii is now known as Barista
Edistothis is just too sexy23:51
Edistoyeah, well currently I won't argue with that. It's not that much of a burden now that I know23:51
Edistoit's not permanent23:51
EdistoI switched from gnome because it literally broke with the kernel upgrades and having amdgpu-pro installed. Couldn't login to tty or anything. Screen just kept flicerking23:52
Edistohad the same issue with kde and I still could get into the tty to do amdgpu-pro-uninstall23:53
