| Admiral[m] | hello. what is the name of the program that manages your network connections? | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Admiral[m] | Connections? | 03:35 |
| Admiral[m] | where you add/remove networks, change their DNS etc | 03:36 |
| Wouldnlite | NetworkManager probably maybe, wild guess really. | 03:37 |
| Admiral[m] | but isn't NM the "backend". what about the GUI where you enter the stuff | 03:40 |
| Admiral[m] | ubuntu kubuntu , debian all use NM right? | 03:40 |
| Admiral[m] | and each one has their own gui to control it | 03:40 |
| Wouldnlite | NM-applet is the tray thingy | 03:40 |
| Wouldnlite | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager | 03:40 |
| Admiral[m] | What's this program called? | 03:42 |
| * Admiral[m] uploaded an image: image.png (66KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/banter.city/GSzgkDrTSNFtRKucUMjAcWrP > | 03:42 | |
| Wouldnlite | IDK what its called. I just think of it as Network Manager in the settings panel | 03:44 |
| Wouldnlite | you can also use nmcli to manage Network Manager from cli | 03:45 |

| Admiral[m] | yeah I know I can do that but the new update with wireguard has some minor quirks | 03:47 |
| Admiral[m] | some things like cannot enter IPv6 addresses or hostnames in fields that should take both | 03:48 |
| Admiral[m] | so I want to file a bug report | 03:48 |
| Wouldnlite | ah. havent got around to wireguard but it sounds beezneez | 03:48 |
| Wouldnlite | https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard/ | 03:52 |
| Wouldnlite | no commits recently... | 03:53 |
| Admiral[m] | the plugin works fine | 03:55 |
| Admiral[m] | its the GUI that is acting up | 03:55 |
| Admiral[m] | not acting up as in crashing | 03:56 |
| Admiral[m] | but acting up as in it doesnt allow me to enter things | 03:56 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 07:23 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 11:19 |

| Admiral[m] | I'm using x11. should I switch to wayland? I see fierce debates online about which is better | 13:25 |
| diogenes_ | Admiral[m], my opinion is that you choose what works better for you. | 13:33 |
| === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf | ||
| lordievader | Is wayland already usable? | 14:22 |
| diogenes_ | if no one cares to try and improve it then it will never be usable | 14:23 |

| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sijmen> Hi i got a question i want to install kubuntu on a vmware vm but got a error at bootup (Loading bootlogo... bootlogo: invalid file format Error setting up gfxboot boot:) how to fix this | 16:39 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Sijmen> Kubuntu version 18.04.2 | 16:39 |
| tomreyn | lordievader: i'm using it for some weeks on 18.04 now, but with gnome-shell, not sure about kde. | 17:34 |
| tomreyn | and it works very well, no visible issues (that i don't rather attribute to gnome-shell) | 17:35 |
| tomreyn | IrcsomeBot1: sounds like you have a broken iso download | 17:36 |
| === wodencafe|work is now known as wodencafe | ||
| tomreyn | also make sure your boot order is sound in vmware | 17:38 |
| user|71969 | Hi. I'm trying to set up a proxy through kubuntu's proxy settings but there's nowhere to input authentication data. Username and password. | 17:39 |
| user|71969 | I've tried username:password@proxy.com | 17:40 |
| tomreyn | user|71969: i think those settings you make on the KDE GUI only apply to KDE / QT applications. a better approach whould be to place these in /etc/environment (and logout, login) like so: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VnnjTRdd43/ | 17:44 |
| tomreyn | sorry that was half german, here's the english one https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HWh2PQKV2P/ | 17:45 |
| lordievader | tomreyn: last time I used it, couple of months ago, it wasn't quite useful ion kde | 17:46 |
| tomreyn | lordievader: you mean wayland + kde, right? i couldn't tell. what didn't work? | 17:47 |
| user|71969 | where is /etc/environment? | 17:51 |
| user|71969 | found it nvm | 17:52 |
| lordievader | tomreyn: yes, kde. To be honest I didn't spend a lot of time in Wayland. But the major issue was the dpi was way off. Perhaps when I have some time on my hands I'll check it out again. | 17:55 |
| tomreyn | oh i haven't tried playing with the dpi | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | nor needed to. | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | wayland is missing some libs on kde/plasma | 18:01 |
| lordievader | Like? What do you mean? | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, someone in #kde chat told me about it a while back | 18:04 |
| m_tadeu_ | hi....what would be the best file server on kubuntu? | 18:15 |
| lordievader | What are your clients? | 18:20 |
| m_tadeu_ | all ubuntus | 18:20 |
| lordievader | Nfs then | 18:21 |
| genii | Yep | 18:22 |
| m_tadeu_ | can you suggest me a good howto? | 18:23 |
| lordievader | Err, not really. Won't be surprised if Ubuntu has one. | 18:24 |
| m_tadeu_ | ok...thx guys | 18:25 |
| genii | m_tadeu_: You might find this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 18:29 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <SK88NL> Ok thanks its working | 18:32 |
| nekoseam | I have NO idea what's going on for some reason I only have 2.8gb of space left?? I only have a 120gb SSD but there's 0 way I could only have that much left, I don't install all that much | 19:16 |
| nekoseam | It seems browsing vivaldi makes me have less storage?? | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | nekoseam, how are you determining the amount of space used ? | 19:19 |
| nekoseam | wait what the actual heck?? /var/log is taking up 50gb of space | 19:19 |
| nekoseam | BluesKaj: partition editor and dolphin's built in thing | 19:20 |
| nekoseam | so wth do I do? do I delete stuff in /var/log? | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | /var/log should be using less than 1GB on a single user system | 19:22 |
| nekoseam | Yeah, that's an issue | 19:22 |
| nekoseam | Files like ufw (from the package gufw?) are taking up 15gb on their own | 19:22 |
| nekoseam | I'm back | 19:25 |
| nekoseam | Kate crashed after trying to open the file (accidentally) | 19:26 |
| nekoseam | lol | 19:26 |
| BluesKaj | I have no idea how /var/log could become so full | 19:28 |
| nekoseam | kern.log is taking up 18gb of space | 19:30 |
| nekoseam | I don't know either | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | rightclick in the text >select all>delete? | 19:34 |
| Captain_Haddock | nekoseam: Do you also see compressed files in there? .gz or similar? | 19:36 |
| nekoseam | Captain_Haddock: yeah I do | 19:38 |
| nekoseam | but not all of them are | 19:38 |
| nekoseam | the compressed files are bytes in size | 19:38 |
| dako | Is this the place to ask noob questions? | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | dako, if you're running kubuntu, yes | 19:40 |
| dako | Thanks. So my question is: How do I automaticly mount a drive on startup? | 19:41 |
| Captain_Haddock | dako: System settings -> Hardware -> Removable storage | 19:43 |
| Captain_Haddock | nekoseam: ok. | 19:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | Deleting and seeing what's filling them up might be a good idea. | 19:44 |
| nekoseam | Captain_Haddock: would it be safe deleting kern.log? | 19:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | Moving them elsewhere might be better if you need to investigate later. | 19:44 |
| nekoseam | it's about 18gb right now. No way I could open that in a text editor | 19:44 |
| dako | Captain_Haddock: Thank you! | 19:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | nekoseam: If you are comfortable with the command line, try "tail -100 kern.log" | 19:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | This will display 100 lines. | 19:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | tail -f kern.log will show you the latest bits of kern.log and update as new entries are added. | 19:47 |
| nekoseam | Alright so it seems to be repeating lines related to my wifi (wlp3s0) | 19:48 |
| nekoseam | Like authentication. It seems to not show any errors though | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | nekoseam: if you're looking for help with solving this, you will need to share some of those lines, and state which version of ubuntu you run. also, have you suspended your computer since you last (re)booted? | 19:51 |
| tomreyn | !paste | nekoseam | 19:51 |
| ubottu | nekoseam: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 19:51 |
| nekoseam | Captain_Haddock: tomreyn https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/35Qxy5nx6Y/ | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | nekoseam: this looks entirely normal. also this was during the first 13 seconds of your system booting. | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | at 11:24 your time zone | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | so it doesn't seem like this is filling your logs | 19:59 |
| nekoseam | tomreyn: so then why is it 18gb in size? I'm not sure how to see the first lines in a file with tail | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | if it's not tail, then it must be head ;) | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | so: head -n100 /var/log/kern.log | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | maybe log roration is just broken | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | *rotation | 20:00 |
| nekoseam | Ohhh, I think I see the issue. Basically I was having trouble with my wifi and had to resort to making the password unencrypted on my system. It's reporting a whole bunch of ins and outs relating to my wifi | 20:01 |
| nekoseam | head -100 is just a bunch of in and out messages related to it | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | from which date? | 20:03 |
| nekoseam | Feb 24 | 20:03 |
| nekoseam | Which is when I installed Kubuntu I believe | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | and you never rebooted since? | 20:04 |
| nekoseam | Yes I have | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | then log rotation doesn't seem to work. | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | oh actually it default to weekly | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | so it can be fine | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | not sure about kern.log, i don't have this anymore, just use systemd-journal now. | 20:06 |
| nekoseam | That was the issue. gufw was turned on to high logging | 20:31 |
| dako | How do I encrypt my disks after installing Kubuntu? | 21:16 |
| tomreyn | dako: cryptsetup-reencrypt, but it's not easy to get it right. | 21:30 |
| tomreyn | you'd need to resize file systems and swueeze the encryption in between. the much easier approach is to reinstall and restore a backup. | 21:31 |
| dako | tomreyn: The instalation is brand new and the disks are empty. I installed some packages. There's plenty of space. Will the cryptsetup-reencrypt method work? | 21:44 |
| tomreyn | dako: if you're experienced with file system and partition resizing, it may. | 22:06 |
| tomreyn | it is a manual process, to be carried out from a live/recovery system, nothing automated. | 22:07 |
| dako | tomreyn: Me being a newcomer to linux, maybe it'll be easier to just reinstall. Thanks! | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | probably then, you're welcome! | 22:10 |
