| Perdellian | and I'm also not seeing any of my logical volumes once I do cryptsetup luksOpen | 02:12 |
|---|---|---|
| * Perdellian is totes not panicking right now | 02:12 | |
| Perdellian | hrm... does it not realize there's a VG there? | 02:14 |
| Perdellian | okay, *now* I'm panicking. my /boot is empty except for lost+found | 02:29 |
| Perdellian | I never hit the install button. where did my existing stuff go? | 02:30 |
| Perdellian | only thing I can think of is that I did type my existing luks password into the PW fields for the guided encrypted lvm line before thinking better and choosing manual again | 02:41 |
| Perdellian | but again, without hitting install, that shouldn't do anything | 02:42 |

| Sircle | Question: If I install windows 10, do a dual boot after installing kubuntu 18x then. But I encrypt all the harddisk while doing this (the harddish that had windows and kubuntu on it), will I have any problems while running windows? I think the decryption is done on the fly by kubuntu OS. If windows is runing, it will not be able to decrypt. | 10:16 |
| Sircle | I just installed windows 10 and then kubuntu 18.04. There is no grup option of kubuntu and the windows just run up. What should I do? | 11:40 |
| hateball | Sircle: Wait for someone that knows about dual boot to show up, I guess :) | 11:42 |
| hateball | Possibly try #ubuntu also, if it is uefi/grub issues it should be the same regardless of DE | 11:43 |
| hateball | oh I see you have | 11:43 |
| Sircle | :) | 11:43 |
| Sircle | ok | 11:43 |
| hateball | Eric^ in #ubuntu tends to know these things iirc | 11:43 |
| * hateball does not use Windows, has no idea :/ | 11:44 | |
| Sircle | why ubuntu was made? free software dont give the vendor any money | 11:44 |
| hateball | !foss | 11:44 |
| ubottu | FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. See !freedom for more info. | 11:44 |
| hateball | !freedom | 11:44 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing | 11:44 |
| hateball | You can choose to pay for services and development and such, this makes the vendor money. But that's better discussed in #kubuntu-offtopic :) | 11:45 |
| Sircle | why would any one work for free? | 11:45 |

| BluesKaj | hey mparillo_ | 16:24 |
| mparillo_ | Hey BluesKaj | 16:42 |
| mparillo_ | IIRC, you do not use a bouncer so you may have missed that my 'Why do the birds sing?' was in response to 'why (sic) would any one (sic) work for free?' | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | haven't used a bouncer in a while, the one i used kept crashing so i gave it up | 16:49 |
| Mrokii | Hi. This isn't directly a problem caused by Kubuntu (I guess), but I can't get Pyside2 for Python3 installed via Synaptic, because of unmet dependencies. Did anybody on 18.10 try that? | 17:01 |
| EvilRoey | hi | 17:32 |
| EvilRoey | BluesKaj: hi! | 17:32 |
| EvilRoey | why did my second screen shift to a lower resolution?? | 17:32 |
| EvilRoey | and when I try to launch systemsettings5, the app segfaults | 17:33 |
| EvilRoey | I'm on kubuntu 18.04 | 17:33 |

| jubo2 | Hello. A friend had a problem, probably something broke his SDDM (no loging screen, only a blinking text cursor in the upper-lefthand corner and the mouse cursor on an otherwise blank screen. We patched around this by installing LDXE, but that is stopping him from running LibreOffice. So I think we would like to try something to fix the SDDM | 19:51 |
| jubo2 | We don't know what broke the SDDM | 19:51 |
| valorie | does re-installing sddm work? | 20:08 |
| valorie | the only time I had problems I found that there was other dms installed somehow -- removed a lightdm and kdm! | 20:09 |
| valorie | once those were removed and sddm was reinstalled everything Worked | 20:09 |
| valorie | ldxe kept him from running libreoffice? | 20:10 |
| jubo2 | valorie: there is not install candidate for kdm | 20:10 |
| valorie | right, and I have no clue how that got in there | 20:10 |
| valorie | this was a couple years ago when it was still available I guess | 20:11 |
| valorie | apt-cache policy is your friend for finding how what is and is not involved | 20:11 |
| jubo2 | valorie: do you know what is the relation of sddm and kdm. Are they somehow connected or are they alternatives for something? | 20:12 |
| valorie | kdm used to be the KDE equiv to gdm | 20:13 |
| jubo2 | 'apt show kdm' says "not a real package (virtual)" | 20:13 |
| valorie | then Ubuntu went to lightdm and so did we | 20:13 |
| jubo2 | currently he has 'sddm' and 'ldxe' installed | 20:14 |
| valorie | however, they required a CLA to work on it, and our devels didn't want to sign that, and KDE was beginning to support SDDM, so we went to that | 20:14 |
| jubo2 | so should maybe try installing lightdm? | 20:14 |
| valorie | ldxe isn't a DM | 20:14 |
| valorie | !ldxe | 20:14 |
| jubo2 | I may have the wrong letters in there | 20:15 |
| jubo2 | ok.. I had the wrong order of letters. I meant lxde | 20:15 |
| jubo2 | valorie: I got him to check if /etc/sddm.conf had been touched lately (prior to his Kubuntu not giving any login screen) and that file had not been touched for months | 20:16 |
| valorie | LXDE is the default desktop environment of Knoppix, Lubuntu, LXLE Linux and Peppermint Linux OS - among other distributions | 20:16 |
| valorie | it isn't a login manager | 20:16 |
| jubo2 | I don't know the difference between a desktop environment and a login manager. Sorry about that | 20:17 |
| valorie | well, in Kubuntu the thing you see when you first login is SDDM | 20:17 |
| valorie | Plasma is the desktop environment | 20:18 |
| valorie | if you ran lubuntu (an older one) you'd see instead lxde | 20:18 |
| valorie | when you run ubuntu you see gnome | 20:18 |
| jubo2 | ok. so LXDE is not a replacement for SDDM, but it allows him to login to a system that seems really foreign for him | 20:19 |
| valorie | I think that lubuntu uses lightdm as their login manager as well | 20:19 |
| valorie | right, probably uses lightdm | 20:19 |
| valorie | to make it more complicated, grub usually allows you to login to either the lxde or plasma | 20:20 |
| jubo2 | So I gather something broke his SDDM and I would like to help him to fix it. | 20:20 |
| valorie | but these days they will all be labelled ubuntu | 20:20 |
| valorie | !sddm | 20:20 |
| valorie | hmmm | 20:20 |
| valorie | no help text from ubottu | 20:21 |
| valorie | !lightdm | 20:21 |
| valorie | wow | 20:21 |
| jubo2 | but isn't plasma started only after the SDDM has finished its bit? Sorry for not knowing about these things. For me Kubuntu just works | 20:21 |
| jacky | isn't it !dpkg $pkg | 20:21 |
| jacky | like | 20:21 |
| jacky | !dpkg sddm | 20:21 |
| valorie | jubo2: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM will probably shed light | 20:22 |
| jubo2 | Ok.. so Display Manager is something on top of which the Desktop Environment runs? | 20:23 |
| valorie | jubo2: sort of *into which* you enter the desktop environment | 20:36 |
| valorie | not a very big piece of code I think | 20:36 |
| valorie | compared to Plasma at least | 20:37 |
| Quantos | Hi, running KUbuntu 18.04 | 21:22 |
| Quantos | It seems to take it a long time to shutdown or log off | 21:22 |
| Quantos | I'm unable to find a timer on it | 21:22 |
| Quantos | Not sure what I'm looking for | 21:22 |
| valorie | oh, left | 21:43 |
