[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <misc--> TJ-: ok, that's how I was doing it, with an index rather than menu entry name. I'll try something else
[00:16] <TJ-> misc--: how was it not working?
[00:18] <misc--> TJ-: it keeps defaulting to the first entry that's in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:19] <misc--> if I run: awk -F\' '/menuentry / { print i++, $2}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg        # then it shows all my available kernels so I just select the index and put that in to GRUB_DEFAULT, run update-grub then reboot
[00:19] <TJ-> misc--: have you checked /boot/grub/grub.cfg is being changed correctly?
[00:19] <TJ-> misc--: "grep default= /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[00:19] <misc--> TJ-: yeah, I can see the entries in there
[00:20] <misc--> TJ-: hmm it comes back as two lines:
[00:20] <misc-->    set default="${next_entry}"    set default="5"
[00:21] <misc--> that's in the ${next_entry} section of grub.cfg. Else sets default=5. Hmm I don't know what $next_entry is
[00:23] <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"
[00:29] <TJ-> misc--: so 5 is the entry you want?
[00:29] <misc--> TJ-: yes that's right
[00:33] <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
[00:36] <TJ-> misc--: is it UEFI or BIOS based boot?
[00:39] <misc--> TJ-: just BIOS
[02:52] <kalikatz> how does one remove a vault. created one, 'test' copied a file, deleted the file, dont see a 'remove' or 'delete' option
[10:19] <hateball> Phil, is network-manager-openvpn installed ?
 I recall a few people mentioning vpn issues. maybe a bug here matches? https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=vpn&list_id=1555988
[10:20] <hateball> I had similar issue where the network manager GUI let me change settings for things that there was no backend installed for -_-
 ah
 some runtime detection would be handy there!
 or something that offers to install it via packagekit
 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.
[10:28] <hateball> phil, yes
[10:28] <hateball> you will need that backend for the gui to actually be able to do anything
[10:30] <hateball> :)
 :)
 @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).
 yeah, the applet really should wither not show it if not installed, or offer to install it when you try to configure
 a bit like the sharing tab in dolphin does for samba
[10:40] <hateball> !bug
 bugs.kde.org
 as it is an upstream code issue
 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
 @Phil Linux, which would need to be implemented in upstream KDE source code
 not overly, but may be beyond my C++
[11:12] <m_tadeu> hi...is there a way to make the fingerprint login/sudo work?
[11:17] <hateball> m_tadeu: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/284
[11:31] <m_tadeu> hateball: thanks...will check it out
[11:33] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hi Phil Linux:-)
[18:17] <Stabington> Giving KDE a shot. I'll probably have questions :D
[18:19] <Stabington> Like, why is the cursor so strange xD
[18:25] <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).
[18:26] <mparillo> From System Settings > Workspace Theme > Cursor Theme.
[18:26] <Stabington> That ain't adwatia!
[18:27] <Stabington> I need a boring black cursor
[18:28] <mparillo> Breeze is black by default.
[18:30] <Stabington> Aight. Cursor is sorted
[18:37] <Stabington> Now, what's the deal with the hamburger menu in the top right corner on the desktop?
[18:38] <Stabington> I get mostly the same options as just right-clicking
[18:47] <Stabington> Oh dear. I just dragged my panel icons off screen and now they're stuck
[18:49] <Stabington> And Discover seem to have crashed after running updates ._.
[18:50] <Stabington> Asks me to 'dpkg --configure -a'
[18:52] <acheronuk> do that. it's a bug with a fix coming soon
 Help me irc
 I have a error in X server
[18:53] <acheronuk> Stabington: and it should only happen that once
[18:56] <Stabington> Aight. Seems like those panel icons are lost forever
[18:59] <Stabington> Note to self: right clicking the hexchat tray icon closes the thing now
 hi there … i recently installed kubuntu 18.04.1 on dell vostro laptop. after system restart i've got message, that boot device not found. looks like boot is broken. … what should i do to fix that?
[19:54] <denza252> help
[19:54] <denza252> how do I unhide the kate menubar
[19:57] <Mrokii> denza252: Ctrl+M possibly.
[19:57] <denza252> yay
[20:10] <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
 Does anybody know why, when my gui session is running as a regular user and I do a 'sudo -i', any gui programs started from the root command line lack some of the window styles/decorations (and thus look really old-style)?
