| balsaq | i may have to remove ubuntu and try kubuntu ubuntu cannot dim my display on my laptop they never installed the softwqare to make it work | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| balsaq | i wonder if kubuntu can do it | 00:20 |
| balsaq | its eating my battery cuz i cannot dim it | 00:20 |
| balsaq | is anyone running kubuntu on a laptop? | 00:44 |
| valorie | balsaq: I am, and dimming works perfectly | 01:03 |
| valorie | fn key + the built-in bright and dim work just fine | 01:04 |
| valorie | I did nothing to make that work | 01:04 |
| kalikatz | same here, hp pavilion g6. dimming works great conky reports cpu 45C gpu 45C idling along | 01:26 |
| valorie | Sysinfo for 'valorie-Oryx-Pro': Running inside KDE Plasma 5.14.2 on Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) powered by Linux 4.18.0-10-generic, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz at 2022-2087/3800 MHz, RAM: 31804/32118 MB, Storage: 336/1144 GB, 226 procs, 165.3h up | 01:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @balsaq, There is a function in grub to enable keyboard keys for dimming. That may be an issue. ?? | 01:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Sorry - in BIOS! | 01:44 |
| valorie | ah | 01:47 |
| valorie | I didn't have to do that | 01:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I lost function one day and Dell support gave me that solution. | 01:48 |
| jacky | same | 01:49 |
| jacky | although I haven't had to do that for my current laptop | 01:49 |

| beltorak | hi all; i'm doing a (mostly) fresh install of kubuntu 18.04 and i'm having trouble manually setting up my partitions with an encrypted root. the installer keeps crashing. has anyone gotten that to work before? | 04:56 |
| valorie | I always use a partitioning tool to set those up in advance | 04:57 |
| valorie | otherwise it gets too complicated | 04:57 |
| beltorak | cool, i usually start with *-server that way, how do you do it with the kubuntu install cd? | 04:58 |
| valorie | why would root be encrypted? just curious | 04:58 |
| beltorak | not /root, but the rootfs | 04:58 |
| jacky | probably under a LVM (logical volume manager); I think Ubuntu's installer has been nudging people to use that | 04:58 |
| valorie | I use kde partitonmanager | 04:58 |
| beltorak | hm | 04:58 |
| valorie | but one can use parted | 04:59 |
| beltorak | yeah i can create the encrypted partitions, but I don't know how to make the installer recognize that an already encrypted partition should be used as / | 04:59 |
| valorie | you won't be able to do it from a live session without some fiddling | 04:59 |
| valorie | ah | 04:59 |
| valorie | well, that is beyond what I know | 04:59 |
| beltorak | tell me what you know, i can probably adapt it | 05:00 |
| jacky | beltorak: you'd have to get into the active desktop and _mount_ that disk | 05:00 |
| beltorak | does it have to be mounted at a specific location, or with a specific /dev/mapper name? | 05:00 |
| jacky | like if it's /dev/sda3 === / and it's encrypted using something like ecryptfs or what not, if I remember correctly, you can go back into the installer and use that partition | 05:01 |
| jacky | I actually might try this out right now, lol | 05:01 |
| beltorak | ok, i'll give that a shot | 05:01 |
| beltorak | ooooh, i got a new dialog; "detected /dev/mapper/<luks-name>" - looks promising | 05:04 |
| jacky | yup! that should ask for your mount passphrase | 05:05 |
| jacky | I'm booting up the VM now | 05:05 |
| beltorak | it didn't ask for the passphrase since i guess this time it detected a filesystem on it - last time i tried this i didn't mkfs it or mount it | 05:05 |
| beltorak | ok, yeah, because (last time) there wasn't a file system on it (just luksOpen'd), it was trying to get me to create a partition table, this time it let me select to use the existing fs as / (i hope) | 05:07 |
| beltorak | so i have an already formatted/partitioned one partition as efi, it will automatically detect and use that, right (/boot is unencrypted) | 05:08 |
| beltorak | well it's actually progressing; that's good; thank you jacky and valorie. one of these days i'll move to lvm | 05:12 |
| beltorak | well it's finished; moment of truth | 05:19 |
| beltorak | :( ok it boots, but it doesn't attempt to decrypt / | 05:43 |
| beltorak | in 14.04 i used to have an /etc/crypttab listing the boot-time partitions to decrypt, but that doesn't exist now. do i need to create that? | 05:43 |
| beltorak | i tried chroot'ing to the encrypted /, mounting all the partitions where they should be, and running update-initramfs, but that didn't seem to work | 05:44 |
| beltorak | jacky: what did your expirement with the vm discover? | 05:46 |

| lordievader | Good morning | 06:19 |
| beltorak | jacky: ok, creating the /etc/crypttab and running update-initrd worked; now i have the fun of reinstating my normal user | 06:31 |
| beltorak | is creating "plasma widgets" any easier or more well documented than it was for 14.04? I have shell script kdialog thing i want to turn into a systray thing, prefereably without having to delve into c++ or qt designer... | 06:36 |
| jacky | agh, they're gone | 06:47 |
| jacky | but it did work for me when re-trying with a VM | 06:47 |

| jubo2 | Hiya. What do people use as a mail client. I've been trying to use Kmail, but it just does not work very well. When adding new accounts they never show up in the left-hand side box so they are unaccessable, even as I see that they are being checked for mail. Also its got lots of other bugs. Thanks in advance | 16:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <avizini> @jubo2, i'm currently using kmail, you can try thunderbird or geary | 16:52 |
| jubo2 | ok avizini. I need to give one or both a try, cause Kmail just ain't working for me on Kubuntu 18.04.1 | 16:53 |
| Alexfrench | i have thunderbird too and it works | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | kmail isn't worth the trouble IMO | 16:59 |
