| misc-- | hi, how do you change the default kernel entry in grub on kubuntu 16.04? Changing GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub doesn't work | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | misc--: it does; but you have to use the correct syntax | 00:14 |
| TJ- | misc--: see https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/default.html#default | 00:14 |
| misc-- | TJ-: ok, that's how I was doing it, with an index rather than menu entry name. I'll try something else | 00:15 |
| TJ- | misc--: how was it not working? | 00:16 |
| misc-- | TJ-: it keeps defaulting to the first entry that's in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:18 |
| misc-- | if I run: awk -F\' '/menuentry / { print i++, $2}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg # then it shows all my available kernels so I just select the index and put that in to GRUB_DEFAULT, run update-grub then reboot | 00:19 |
| TJ- | misc--: have you checked /boot/grub/grub.cfg is being changed correctly? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | misc--: "grep default= /boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 00:19 |
| misc-- | TJ-: yeah, I can see the entries in there | 00:19 |
| misc-- | TJ-: hmm it comes back as two lines: | 00:20 |
| misc-- | set default="${next_entry}" set default="5" | 00:20 |
| misc-- | that's in the ${next_entry} section of grub.cfg. Else sets default=5. Hmm I don't know what $next_entry is | 00:21 |
| N3X15 | I have KDE set up to not doing anything when the lid is closed, so I can VNC into it, but if the lid is closed, I get graphics issues with flashplayer and if it reboots, it goes into a bootloop. Any ideas? | 00:23 |
| N3X15 | Well, beyond "leave the lid open" | 00:23 |
| TJ- | misc--: so 5 is the entry you want? | 00:29 |
| misc-- | TJ-: yes that's right | 00:29 |
| misc-- | I did... grub-editenv - set next_entry=5 # to see if that worked but that had no effect either. I'll just plug a monitor in I guess and reboot and select it from the boot up. What a pain | 00:33 |
| TJ- | misc--: is it UEFI or BIOS based boot? | 00:36 |
| misc-- | TJ-: just BIOS | 00:39 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Hey guys! I am on Kubuntu 18.04 and a vpn setup by import of my university's .ovpn file does not work at all. Is there a known bug in the network manager? | 10:11 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> I can import but there is no reaction when I click on "connect" next to the VPN connection. | 10:12 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @acheronuk | 10:15 |
| hateball | Phil, is network-manager-openvpn installed ? | 10:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> I recall a few people mentioning vpn issues. maybe a bug here matches? https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=vpn&list_id=1555988 | 10:19 |
| hateball | I had similar issue where the network manager GUI let me change settings for things that there was no backend installed for -_- | 10:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> network-manager-openvpn is actually not installed! | 10:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> ah | 10:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> but the gui tells everything as it should be. Imported keys and all! | 10:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> so I should install network-manager-openvpn? | 10:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> some runtime detection would be handy there! | 10:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> or something that offers to install it via packagekit | 10:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Aimisaim> Hey, friends....I am on Kubuntu 18.04 and I want to install opera browser on my laptop......i have tried "opera-stable" command on terminal....But its useless. Pls help me in this regard. | 10:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @Aimisaim, I recommend snap install opera! | 10:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @Aimisaim, https://snapcraft.io/opera | 10:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I am sure that makes sense to an IT person. However, I am not. So should I install network-manager-openvpn? | 10:26 |
| hateball | phil, yes | 10:28 |
| hateball | you will need that backend for the gui to actually be able to do anything | 10:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Oh my! | 10:29 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> Thanks guys! @hateball and @acheronuk | 10:29 |
| hateball | :) | 10:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> :) | 10:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Aimisaim> @Phil Linux, Dear phil its showing following error..... snap "opera" is not available on stable for this architecture (i386) but exists on other … architectures (amd64). | 10:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @Aimisaim, copy and paste this line into your Konsole please: | 10:34 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @Aimisaim, sudo snap install opera | 10:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> then hit enter | 10:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> it works, @hateball and @acheronuk ! It is really a bad bad bug that there is a GUI tool that seems to do everything without actually doing it! I love Linux and especially Kubuntu, but this is a really bad oversight! | 10:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> yeah, the applet really should wither not show it if not installed, or offer to install it when you try to configure | 10:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> a bit like the sharing tab in dolphin does for samba | 10:39 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @acheronuk, Exactly! How do I bring this to the attention of people who can change that? I am not in IT, so I have no github account! | 10:39 |
| hateball | !bug | 10:40 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers. | 10:40 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> bugs.kde.org | 10:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> as it is an upstream code issue | 10:41 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> the only thing Kubuntu could do is install it by default, but that is arguably overkill | 10:42 |
| hateball | that wiki page is a bit... old | 10:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @acheronuk, Wouldn't a dialog just as you described it be the best option? | 10:42 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> @Phil Linux, which would need to be implemented in upstream KDE source code | 10:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Phil Linux> @acheronuk, I see. Is that complicated? I honestly have no idea. Last time I coded was at school in Turbo Pascal. 😉 | 10:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> not overly, but may be beyond my C++ | 10:46 |
| m_tadeu | hi...is there a way to make the fingerprint login/sudo work? | 11:12 |

| m_tadeu | hateball: thanks...will check it out | 11:31 |

| Stabington | Giving KDE a shot. I'll probably have questions :D | 18:17 |
| Stabington | Like, why is the cursor so strange xD | 18:19 |
| mparillo | You can change your cursor. | 18:25 |
| mparillo | I sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y oxygen-cursor-theme | 18:25 |
| mparillo | Then select Oxygen Yellow (my favorite). | 18:25 |
| mparillo | From System Settings > Workspace Theme > Cursor Theme. | 18:26 |
| Stabington | That ain't adwatia! | 18:26 |
| Stabington | I need a boring black cursor | 18:27 |
| mparillo | Breeze is black by default. | 18:28 |
| Stabington | Aight. Cursor is sorted | 18:30 |

| Stabington | Now, what's the deal with the hamburger menu in the top right corner on the desktop? | 18:37 |
| Stabington | I get mostly the same options as just right-clicking | 18:38 |
| Stabington | Oh dear. I just dragged my panel icons off screen and now they're stuck | 18:47 |
| Stabington | And Discover seem to have crashed after running updates ._. | 18:49 |
| Stabington | Asks me to 'dpkg --configure -a' | 18:50 |
| acheronuk | do that. it's a bug with a fix coming soon | 18:52 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Danbart> Help me irc | 18:52 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Danbart> I have a error in X server | 18:53 |
| acheronuk | Stabington: and it should only happen that once | 18:53 |
| Stabington | Aight. Seems like those panel icons are lost forever | 18:56 |

| kalikatz | a couple times now the plasma-discover had to be 'killall' because it hangs. starting it back up, the password dialog this time appeared and finished. Not sure what I did diffrently, but I also noticed in the list of updates, the file sizes had not populated yet. Kubu 18.04 | 20:10 |
