kinghatvalorie: which system logs do you think they are talking about?02:39
kinghatand is 'systemctl status vboxweb-service.service' a command string?02:40
lordievaderGood morning09:02
BluesKajHowdy all12:46
kinghatvalorie: i think its the latest kubuntu 18.10 kernel. i switched to the previous release and im not seeing the issue anymore.16:26
=== mkv is now known as m4v
jubo2My Friend's Kubuntu 18.04.1 broke again18:04
jubo2this time attempting normal startup just drops him into recovery mode18:04
jubo2running 'journalctl -xB' (not sure about the switches) that it suggests prints as last line something about MTRR18:05
jubo2With this many problems it is quite sure that the laptop has faulty hardware :(18:05
jubo2I gonna suggest him to run memtest8618:06
jubo2If someone has some idea about how to fix the computer it would be much appreciated18:06
jubo2He's running memtest86 now18:09
=== himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf
jubo2Yeah.. memtest keeps on crashing18:46
jubo2so it is either faulty RAM or the memory controller has broken18:46
jubo2I told him to remove one module at a time and try the memtest86 again18:46
jubo2this way we can figure out if the problem is in the RAM or the memory controller18:47
kinghatvalorie: i dont think its the kernel. well when i open virtual box is makes those issues. but it didnt used to. so something changed and now doesnt like it.20:27
kinghatis it possible to change over to wayland on kubuntu?20:44
valoriekinghat: very possibly - vbox is just one of possible VMs you can try20:49
valorieyes, you can use wayland by not everything will work20:49
valorie!wayland20:50
ubottuWayland is a display server protocol that can be used instead of X. Ubuntu 17.10 uses Wayland by default on systems that support it. For more info, see https://wayland.freedesktop.org/20:50
valoriepfff20:50
valoriethere is a package you can add20:50
valorieplasma-workspace-wayland I think20:51
valorie!info plasma-workspace-wayland20:51
ubottuplasma-workspace-wayland (source: plasma-workspace): Plasma Workspace for KF5 - Wayland integration. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:5.12.6-0ubuntu0.1 (bionic), package size 18 kB, installed size 112 kB20:51
kinghatvalorie: I don't use vbox very much but it was working fine when I installed it. then time passed and Kubuntu had updates and now it freaks out. to why I don't think it's vbox.20:53
valorieok20:54
* valorie is running 18.10 quite happily20:54
kinghatas for Wayland, what type of things wouldn't work?20:54
kinghatvalorie: that's what I'm on. can't you test vbox?20:54
valoriewell, nvidia is still very much a problem20:54
kinghatthat's ok in AMD20:55
valorieright20:55
kinghatI'm*20:55
valorieok, I just started the one VM I have right now, which is win1020:56
valoriestarts up just fine20:56
valoriegosh, now I can't remember how to use stupid windows20:57
kinghatin vbox you mean?21:00
kinghati guess one reason is i want native night mode and i think thats only a wayland thing. but redshift is working for me.21:13
valoriekinghat: I want that too, but redshift works for me too21:36
valorieI have nvidia so for me wayland will be awhile21:37
kinghatif it was default is ubuntu 17 will it be default in the next LTS?21:50
valoriekinghat: it wasn't22:06
kinghatoh22:06
kinghatthought i read that somewhere. whoops22:06
valorieI think that while gnome had some early success with wayland it's not continued, and the sessions were not felt to be trustworthy enough for an LTS22:07
valorieI don't think it is in 18.1022:07
valorieand haven't yet heard about what will be default for 19.0422:07
valoriewhich is not LTS22:07
kinghattyvm for the info.22:10
kinghatGD. every time i start up the PC and login baloo is always giving me a crashed msg.22:32
fareastI think I like kde22:50
valoriefareast: it's a great community that makes great software23:00
valorieso I agree23:00
kinghatremoved vbox again, and on install i get these same errors: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/ee22b12a/23:05
kinghatsomeone else on 18.10 has the same thing: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9064323:05
valoriekinghat: does it work though?23:09
valorieit reports successful install23:09
kinghatwell last time i did this it worked the first time then wouldnt work after a reboot23:09
valorieif that happens again please file a bug: ubuntu-bug virtualbox23:11
kinghatbut then my system starts freaking out after i get the errors in vbox. literally after x amount of time, a couple hours of normal computing(?), shit hits the fan. to where i cant even logout, restart, or shutdown.23:11
valoriein the commandline23:11
valorieif that happens again, file it in the terminal so those files get uploaded23:11
valoriethe logfiles I mean23:12
kinghatsystemctl status vboxweb-service.service23:13
kinghatFailed to get properties: Connection timed out23:13
valorieok but using that command to file the bug report gets the necessary files23:14
valoriewithout you having to dig for them manually23:14

IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> Hi! U have Kubuntu running on my work laptop. It has a proxy connection in which only the browser can connect to cyberspace. Is there a way to get other apps (Discover, module, weather widget) to use the proxy? Can the be directed to use the browser (Palemoon) internet connection?? Thanks23:32
valorieyes, you need to make at least a short description and say how you run into the bug23:33
IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> @Anarchotaoist, Corrections: I have Kubuntu - not u. Konsole not module23:33
valorieattaching those links you put in the channel earlier will make it better too23:34
