=== himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [06:20] Good morning [09:42] Good morning! [09:42] 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! [09:43] In Kubuntu 18.04. [09:43] Very sad and a very good reason to backport newer and better versions of discover to 18.04! [10:02] !info thunderbird [10:03] thunderbird (source: thunderbird): Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter. In component main, is optional. Version 1:52.9.1+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 47521 kB, installed size 128537 kB [10:06] !info discover [10:06] discover (source: discover): hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.2-8 (bionic), package size 23 kB, installed size 88 kB [10:06] hrrr [10:30] I really do not get what you are trying to tell me. [10:31] Normally I find it in discover. Just this time I did not find it. Retried repeatedly and still no luck. [10:56] @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. [10:57] Oak. What's the solution if a non-CLI-user like my friend wants to install thunderbird? [10:58] @Phil Linux, Muon package manager I guess [10:59] (Photo, 915x637) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/arMz7n00/file_9883.jpg [11:35] Hello. 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? [11:55] Have several problems with 18.04 installed from live CD. [11:55] NumPad in cursor mode does not handle CTRL properly [12:05] Hey folks [12:30] Hello [12:37] How do I get multiple workspaces? [12:39] dodi, you can use virtual desktops or actitvities or both in kmenu system settings>workspace>desktop behavior [12:42] Thanks, missed "Arbeitsflächen" in the German version [12:43] workspace:-) [12:45] Also an idea about keyboard configuration? [12:46] Is 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) [13:14] @ainz, I think its not wise to install kubuntu from ubuntu. Because sometimes its unstabble [13:14] Based on my experience [15:16] Hello, 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? [15:18] Captain_Haddock: #1 Don't Panic :) [15:18] Captain_Haddock: there *should* be logs, I think under /var/log/dist-upgrade/ or similar - long time since I needed to look at those [15:19] TJ-: Thanks. Yes, I see a lot of logs. [15:21] TJ-: 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"./ [15:22] Captain_Haddock: ouch. Were you dist-upgrading from the GUI, or from shell? [15:22] GUI [15:23] It threw up a bunch of issues during the upgrade, but offered to ignore it. [15:23] Isn't it supposed to check for incompatibilities before proceeding? :/ [15:23] Captain_Haddock: OK. first, check the obvious. Is there disk space free? "df -h" and "df -ih" to check free-space and inodes respectively [15:24] There's 51G free. [15:24] Captain_Haddock: sounds like almost enough :p [15:24] :) [15:24] Captain_Haddock: can you pastebin the dist-upgrade log that seems most recent/relavent ? [15:24] s/relavent/relevant/ [15:25] TJ-: 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.log [15:25] They're all dated for today. [15:26] Most recent are main.log xorg_fixup.log apt-term.log history.log term.log [15:28] Captain_Haddock: term.log sounds most juicy :) [15:30] TJ-: This is main.log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pc2NgPGxX4/ [15:31] Captain_Haddock: line 1324 looks like the key [15:32] 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] TJ-: term.log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/S5C67KJB2F/ [15:32] TJ-: Not sure what that is. But I do have gimp installed. [15:32] There's also a couple of PPAs for games. [15:32] Let me check [15:34] Captain_Haddock: Have you yet tried "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" ? [15:34] TJ-: Flightgear, Lutris, Skype, Google Chrome, nVidia drivers, and Opera are the other repositories that I can see. [15:35] TJ-: "apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libzstd.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [15:38] Captain_Haddock: ouch, it's much worse than I feared. Don't be tempted to reboot [15:38] :( [15:40] Captain_Haddock: try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [15:41] 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 needs [15:41] TJ-: That halted stating "too many errors". [15:41] Captain_Haddock: hmmm [15:42] The first error: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libquadmath0:amd64: libquadmath0:amd64 depends on gcc-8-base (= 8.2.0-1ubuntu2~18.04)." [15:43] Captain_Haddock: lets try 1 package at a time, in case we can coax it. "sudo dpkg --configure libisc169:amd64" [15:43] TJ-: This is the dpkg output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ctnsqnqZsN/ [15:45] TJ-: libisc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8P6FyDTXp4/ [15:47] TJ-: Is it possible to get apt-get working first? Won't that help with the others? [15:49] Captain_Haddock: At this point it could be a rabbit-hole, chasing broken library dependencies [15:50] Captain_Haddock: to see if dpkg can make progress, try "sudo dpkg --configure libssl1.1" [15:52] TJ-: That worked! [15:52] $ 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] (But that's all it said.) [15:52] Captain_Haddock: right, so if we can get the correct sequence we may be able to get it to hobble :) [15:53] OK :) [15:53] I'm also looking at this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1764858 [15:53] Launchpad bug 1764858 in apt (Ubuntu) "Can't update / install / delete packages due to missing libzstd.so.1" [Undecided,Invalid] [15:53] Captain_Haddock: try "sudo dpkg --configure libzstd1" [15:54] TJ-: $ sudo dpkg --configure libzstd1 dpkg: error processing package libzstd1 (--configure): no package named 'libzstd1' is installed, cannot configure Errors were encountered while processing: libzstd1 [15:54] Captain_Haddock: "find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'libzstd1*' " [15:55] TJ-: There's a hit. /var/cache/apt/archives/libzstd1_1.3.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb [15:56] Captain_Haddock: right, now try "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libzstd1_1.3.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb" [15:56] TJ-: Success! apt-get update also worked! [15:58] Captain_Haddock: right... see if you can make some more progress now [15:58] Captain_Haddock: "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" [15:59] TJ-: 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] Shall I proceed? [15:59] Captain_Haddock: yes :) [16:02] (Still unpacking.) [16:14] TJ-: Looks like it went pretty well. There were a few grey bits, but they seem fine. [16:14] Captain_Haddock: you can always re-run that command to clean up if needed [16:15] apt-get update + upgrade throws up more stuff. Installing those too. [16:15] Captain_Haddock: you might need to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" to ensure all NEW versions are fetched [16:24] Upon 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 9360 [16:25] How 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 files [16:31] TJ-: Thanks mate. Looks like everything's upgrade OK. You're a life saver :) Time to reboot. *Fingers crossed* [16:31] upgraded* [16:32] Captain_Haddock: I'll cross them :) [17:46] TJ-: Thanks again. The system looks to be pretty stable. No issues so far besides an Nvidia one. But that comes and goes. [17:46] Cheers :) [17:46] Captain_Haddock: nice to know... it's a few years since I had to rescue a broken release-upgrade [17:50] :) [19:27] Hello. Im kinda needing help with a touchpad issue [19:33] solrac: hmmm touchpad issue? [19:33] solrac: just get a mouse =) [19:34] :v [19:35] It's actually the mouse getting plugged in that seems to cause the touchpad to lose its settings [19:35] solrac: well, what's the issue then? :| [19:35] Ive 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 work [19:36] pycet: is the mouse is plugged in, you shouldn't need the mousepad, no? [19:36] however, upon running dmesg I get an error https://pastebin.com/jJav4RVT [19:36] When 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) [19:37] But @bprompt, you are correct. I do not use the touchpad while I'm connected with the mouse [19:39] solrac: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360360 <---- maybe? as suggested there [19:39] checking [19:41] so...uninstall *evdev and *synaptics? [19:41] I mean arent those used by other parts of the input system? [19:41] I know its not called like that but you get me :V [19:42] solrac: synaptics is for the touchpad only [19:42] and evdev? s: [19:44] solrac: sure, try it, bear in mind, that some packages may be included on other installations [19:44] solrac: so just because you're removing it, doesn't mean the functionality is gone, or another package doesn't provide it [19:46] here goes :V [19:47] brb [19:51] back.. [19:51] it didnt work [19:53] solrac: shoot... dunno myself...seems lack of drivers [19:55] new dmesg tho [19:55] https://pastebin.com/41ytRaJq [19:55] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/6PRgcIMC/image.png [19:56] not sure what thats about [19:57] solrac: checked with the guys at #ubuntu yet? [19:57] not really. === Katnip is now known as slither === slither is now known as Katnip === Katnip is now known as tongue === tongue is now known as Katnip === m4v- is now known as m4v === bprompt is now known as Guest50472 === mkv is now known as m4v === m4v- is now known as m4v [21:17] Hello, what does it mean when there is a yellow bar next to an icon in task bar, instead of a blue one? [21:20] riidom: Have a screenshot? [21:22] I just clicked it now it's gone.. so no sorry Captain_Haddock [21:22] it was on my steam client.. I suspect something with "activity happened"? Also the icon has a yellow-ish background [21:23] had* [21:40] riidom: No worries. Yes, it could have been an alert of some kind. === dude9303 is now known as dude9303_ === dude9303_ is now known as dude9303__ === dude9303__ is now known as teran === teran is now known as teranp === teranp is now known as teranp_ === teranp_ is now known as teranp__ === teranp__ is now known as dude9303 [22:46] anyone having problems with streamtuner2 not loading shoutcast playlist? [22:48] Edisto: since I don't use streamtuner2, so no :) [22:49] hmmm... i guess i might have to switch to guayadeque or whatever its called [22:56] you know I have to say... other than breaking things by updating while you're doing something kubuntu is far better than gnome [23:05] Edisto: nothing broke at all for me on my recent update to cosmic beta [23:05] I'm considering doing it on this box, my main laptop [23:11] i 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 restored [23:11] in gnome whenver i ran an update everything kept working [23:12] with reboot required. But that's small I guess. I was thinking at the time it was major [23:12] until i rebooted [23:20] er with no reboot required [23:33] reboot is pretty much always a good idea [23:33] or at least logging out and logging back in === genii is now known as Barista [23:51] this is just too sexy [23:51] yeah, well currently I won't argue with that. It's not that much of a burden now that I know [23:51] it's not permanent [23:52] I 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 flicerking [23:53] had the same issue with kde and I still could get into the tty to do amdgpu-pro-uninstall
