[01:07] <LINKSWORD2> Hey everybody.
[01:09] <LINKSWORD2> A while back, I used to have a customized display for the digital clock widget on my taskbar. (Admittedly, it was Kubuntu 10.04. but still.) I wanted to change the font color for just the clock widget, if possible.
[01:22] <LINKSWORD2> Any suggestions?
[01:28] <LINKSWORD2> Anybody active?
 10.04 was still Plasma 4 I think
 you can look on say, KDE store and see what's available *now*
 Hello, i am new linux user and i would like to use ubuntu on my laptop but each flavour i try of ubuntu ( kubuntu, ubuntu budgie) i have problem with screen tearing when i use nvidia drivers but when i don t instal nvidia drivers i use only integrated gpu on intel i5 5200u. I would really appriciate asvice from you. Thank you.
 @Legendx7, I have nvidia 920m grapgic card
[07:30] <dsbye> when I attempt to connect to a 5 GHz network, connection manager keeps spinning at configuring interface. after sometime, the wifi password diaolog pops up. if I enter my password it goes back to configuring interface and after someimte the password dialog opens again
[07:30] <dsbye> this is only a problem with the 5 GHz SSID
[07:31] <dsbye> it connnects to the 2.4 just fine
[07:31] <dsbye> other devices have no problems connecting to the 5 GHz ssid
[08:17] <w0lf> hello all
[08:17] <w0lf> I have Kubuntu installed
[08:17] <w0lf> sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[08:17] <w0lf> [sudo] password for w0lf:
[08:17] <w0lf> chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf
[08:17] <w0lf> why its saying not supported ?
[08:18] <w0lf> I have done it in past on another machine and it worked
[08:24] <w0lf> hello ?
[08:26] <acheronuk> w0lf: symlink?
[08:27] <acheronuk> yep. that is a symlink
[08:27] <w0lf> ah its symlinked to resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
[08:27] <w0lf> so should I remove the symlink ?
[08:28] <w0lf> as I want to use the nameserver from cloudflare
[08:28] <acheronuk> I wouldn't. If you HAVE to make it immutable for some reason, then sounds like you want to chattr the link target
[08:29] <acheronuk> oh. in /run
[08:29] <acheronuk> fun!
[08:57] <w0lf> acheronuk, sudo chattr +i stub-resolv.conf

[12:31] <Korrora> hello everyone,may i ask a question if possible?(it can be a stupid one im sorry if it is )
[12:33] <Korrora> help help help :D please
[12:36] <BluesKaj> !ask | Korrora
[12:38] <Korrora> im a new ssd user(it is adata su650 model one),i have a 4gb ram on my laptop;shall i create a swap or i shall not?on web some says create some says it will kill lifespan of ssd and dont create you dont need.Anyone have any information about that?And thank you already :)
[12:42] <BluesKaj> Korrora, this is a swap file, not a partition, but it will work for you, https://linuxize.com/post/create-a-linux-swap-file/
[12:45] <Korrora> so i will create first an fat32 for grub efi and ext4 for root partition,after installation completes i will login and create that file on terminal,am i right BluesKaj?
[12:49] <BluesKaj> Korrora, best to just set the whole drive to gpt partition table then install kubuntu using the guided method at partitioning, the installer will take care of formatting and installing the efi boot partition and the / partition for kubuntu...there's no need to preformat the ssd to ext4
[12:50] <BluesKaj> then after installation  create the swap file, if you think you need it
[12:52] <Korrora> i dont know if i need it with 4gb ram :D and i dont want to kill ssd lifespan with swap partition,but if you say swap file doesnt effect lifespan and can be useful i can create idk :D i hate to being newbie to something
[12:55] <BluesKaj> Korrora, well, you could always buy some more RAM , it's not expaensive anymore especially if buy another 4GB
[12:56] <BluesKaj> if you have room for it
[12:57] <Korrora> it is actually damn expensive in the place where  i live BlusKaj :) i just want to use best with what i have, i wouldnt switch to ssd if my hdd wouldnt fail,desperate stupid situation
[12:57] <Korrora> i have an empty slot but possibly will stay empty for years or untill laptop dies i guess unfortunately :/  :D
[12:58] <BluesKaj> ssds are more efficient than hdds so 4GB Ram might be enough
[12:58] <BluesKaj> as long as you keep your desktop activity fairly lean
[13:02] <Korrora> so i dont have to create a swap partition,but in th future i can create a swap file if i need it really,without reinstalling system etc. right? :)
[13:02] <BluesKaj> yes
[13:02] <Korrora> im sorry BlusKaj if im giving you a headache with my questions :/ :D
[13:03] <BluesKaj> no problem Korrora , we're here to help :-)
[13:03] <Korrora> thank you so much BluesKaj, i will do what you said,i hope manjaro budgie doesnt give me a headache also :D
[13:03] <Korrora> i wish you have a nice day,and thank you soooooo much :)
[13:04] <Korrora> if it gives i will go for kubuntu,im just scared if kde eats lots of ram :/ its a gorgeous De :/
[13:05] <BluesKaj> if you already have a linux install on that machine , my suggestion will wipe it of the the drive
[13:05] <BluesKaj> off
[13:06] <Korrora> its a fresh ssd inside unopened package :) one last question may i ask please?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> Korrora, where do yo have manjaro installed ?
[13:06] <Korrora> i dont have i just have kubuntu 18.04 image and manjaro budgie image :)
[13:06] <BluesKaj> ok
[13:07] <Korrora> i will install one of them but i dont know if my laptop can handle it,
[13:08] <BluesKaj> dunno much about budgie, but KDE/Plasma is probly a bit more memory hungry
[13:08] <Korrora> i want kde but dont know if it uses lots of ram,someone told me i can try manjaro budgie so i downloaded it, i was using ubuntu with love for years but after they switched gnome from unity,i felt like strange and kept hopping distros :/
[13:09] <Korrora> can you tell me how many ram your system uses with only one firefox tab open with no other programs?
[13:09] <BluesKaj> I ran kde/plasma with 4GB Ram with a swap file for years ,,, it was fine
[13:10] <Korrora> you ran it without problem? i will definitely go for kde then :D kde has that global menu thing from ubuntu unity and i love that thing :) im coming kubuntu!
[13:10] <BluesKaj> Korrora, it's using 1GB with Konversation and FF open with one tab
[13:12] <Korrora> fair enough i guess, i will still have 2.74 gb free ram
[13:13] <BluesKaj> Korrora, there are many ways to trim kubuntu daemons from running at the same time as well
[13:14] <BluesKaj> Korrora, come back here after installing and I'll give a soeme easy suggestions
[13:14] <Korrora> killing services? i dont know how to choose them because kde apps are named so closely :D i am scared to hurt system by killing something,but i would be happy to try it if you have a webpage shows that :)
[13:14] <Korrora> ohh okay it would be great :D
[13:15] <BluesKaj> I'll be around for another 4hrs or so
[13:15] <Korrora> im switching to windows 10+ kubuntu installations,see you after that then BluesKaj :) THANK YOU sooooooo much :)
[13:16] <BluesKaj> w10 as well?
[13:17] <BluesKaj> Korrora, hope w10 is ona diffeent drive
[13:18] <Korrora> i thought i can use it for light gaming
[13:18] <BluesKaj> on a different drive
[13:18] <soon> Am I the only one, who can not connect to an external bluettooth device as regular user? ...must be root
[13:18] <soon> ...and my regular user is part of the dialout and tty groups
[13:18] <Korrora> i just have one 240gb ssd and do other slots :/ is it bad to install them side by side ?
[13:20] <BluesKaj> that complicates things, dual booting off the same drive with windows is not as simple
[13:21] <BluesKaj> w10 should ber installed first
[13:22] <Korrora> ohhh okay,windows stupidity first then,then kubuntu i see
[13:26] <BluesKaj> thast's if they're installing on the same drive
[13:30] <Korrora> unfortunately they are :D but i hope i will see Evil one only for gaming i hope :) i hope kubuntu goes as good as ald ubuntu
[13:30] <Korrora> old*
[13:31] <Korrora> before my hdd died i tried manjaro deepin and gnome for a little time,bad thing is system was going to unstable quickly after some updates,and in ubuntu it was never a thing for me,so im kinda scared rolling stuff :D
[15:17] <BluesKaj> !ot
[15:18] <tomreyn> !offtopic
[15:29] <user|87606> use install for update
[15:31] <Greenfrog> i'm having a reboot problem, if i reboot the external usb drive is not recognized, but if i disconnect the usb then reconnect it's there and usable, any ideas?
[15:32] <Greenfrog> it isnt a mount issue
[15:32] <Greenfrog> its just mostly off then on again
[15:33] <Greenfrog> odd behavior
[15:33] <Greenfrog> mostly off after reboot
[15:35] <Greenfrog> the drive has been formated ext4 and files loaded in fact i have variety using the background pics there
[15:36] <Greenfrog> ext4
[15:37] <Greenfrog> do you think this might be a bug?
[16:06] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: hmm, could be many things. this might happen due to power saving issues, or due to firmware bugs, or due to insufficient power supply by the usb controller
[16:07] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: check your system journal (or post it), it may have further hints on it.
[16:07] <Greenfrog> ok thanks i'll try
[16:08] <Greenfrog> how do i check my system journal?
[16:09] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: i'll tell you if you tell me which kubuntu version you're running
[16:10] <Greenfrog> 18.04
[16:11] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: i keep switching between different applications and irc channels. if you'd like more timely responses please prefix what you'll say by my nickname (tomreyn).
[16:11] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: you can run this to post your journal online: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:11] <tomreyn> or just the first part to inspect it on your computer
[16:12] <Greenfrog> ok done that before
[16:12] <Greenfrog> https://termbin.com/ri5d
[16:13] <Greenfrog> wow thats all gobled gook to me
[16:15] <Greenfrog> it seems odd that i cant reboot and have the exernal dirve recognized but can disconnect the drive then reconnect and everything is fine
[16:16] <Greenfrog> but ok look it over
[16:16] <Greenfrog> i'd appreciate any help :)
[16:19] <Greenfrog> i'm new to kubuntu so the repair aspects is dizzying
[16:21] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: there's an issue with USB device 2-2 during USB port scan / device enumeration:    Apr 15 07:10:23 greenfrog-1 kernel: usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error 18
[16:21] <tomreyn> if you'll look at this and following lines this shows the issue.
[16:22] <Greenfrog> so is there a fix?
[16:22] <tomreyn> try a different usb port and reboot, i guess
[16:22] <Greenfrog> ok i can look at the log but then what?
[16:22] <Greenfrog> i have and no change
[16:23] <tomreyn> 6-2 also experiences problems
[16:24] <Greenfrog> so i'm not sure what you mean. what do i do next?
[16:24] <Greenfrog> this is way beyond my tech knowledge
[16:25] <tomreyn> if swapping the usb ports does not help, also trying to swap to the other side of the computer, then there is probably not much you can do
[16:26] <tomreyn> also, this hardware is way beyond its planned lifetime.
[16:26] <tomreyn> and suffers from unfixable hardware security issues
[16:27] <Greenfrog> ok the other side is taken by triplehead2go so  i can try that
[16:28] <Greenfrog> so if not would you consider that a bug report?
[16:28] <Alexfrench> hello
[16:28] <Alexfrench> sorry you have hardware problems ?
[16:28] <tomreyn> Greenfrog: probably not.
[16:28] <Greenfrog> what is it then?
[16:29] <tomreyn> my guess is on hardware issues
[16:29] <Greenfrog> ya maybe
[16:29] <tomreyn> power supplies age, capacitors age
[16:29] <tomreyn> this is a 12yo platform
[16:29] <Greenfrog> ok thanks for the reply
[16:29] <Greenfrog> yes it is
[16:30] <tomreyn> laptops are designed for ~ 5 years
[16:30] <Alexfrench> my 10 hp laptop died few weeks agos
[16:30] <Greenfrog> i was just trying to breath new life into it without paying 3oo bucks to use win 10
[16:31] <Alexfrench> one day is working, another day it die
[16:31] <Greenfrog> ok maybe i'll just have to live with it
[16:31] <Greenfrog> thanks
[16:32] <tomreyn> you're welcome.
[16:32] <Greenfrog> too bad its a nice laptop
[16:32] <Greenfrog> yes thanks
[16:32] <Alexfrench> have you tried bios update or drivers before ?
[16:32] <Greenfrog> :)
[16:32] <Greenfrog> dont member but i think so
[16:32] <Alexfrench> mine was too but it is dead, a nice dead laptop
[16:33] <Greenfrog> but i'll ck again
[16:33] <Greenfrog> yes todays technology tomorrows doorstop
[16:33] <tomreyn> BIOS R0200Y2 08/12/2008
[16:34] <tomreyn> but there is no vendor support anymore
[16:34] <Greenfrog> thanks i'll try that
[16:34] <Greenfrog> yes i understand
[16:34] <tomreyn> what i posted is what you have
[16:34] <Greenfrog> yes i see
[16:35] <Greenfrog> too bad so sad :P
[16:35] <Greenfrog> its a nice laptop
[16:35] <Greenfrog> ok thanks again :)
[16:36] <Greenfrog> i like coming into these channels lots of support
[16:36] <tomreyn> you'll change your opinion when you compare it to a curren tone
[16:36] <Greenfrog> thanks
[16:37] <Greenfrog> everyone has been nice and helpful
[16:54] <proctrap> Greenfrog: you could get a non-os laptop
[16:54] <proctrap> and just go with what ever you want on top
[17:08] <Greenfrog> not an option, i'm on limited income
[17:08] <Greenfrog> thanks just the same :)
[17:09] <Greenfrog> using old technology is all i have atm
[17:11] <Greenfrog> i appreciate all your help thank you :)
[17:20] <tomreyn> you could probably get a desktop with more current and better performing hardware for free, though. maybe a laptop, too.
[18:50] <oysteins> How can I debug a non-responding Kickoff→ Turn off→ Turn off?
[18:50] <oysteins> Basically that Kickoff's shutdown feature sometimes does nothing.
[18:59] <oysteins> nvm, it happened because okular was requesting permission to close tabs. Closing okular fixes issue.
[19:45] <hugowf> when 19.04 will be launch ?
[19:46] <jacky> soon hugowf
[19:46] <jacky> can't rush awesomeness :)
[19:48] <bprompt> hugowf:    it'll be released on April 30th 15 11:59:999 PM, as it's for most release dates
[19:49] <bprompt> hugowf:    it'll be released on April 30th at 11:59:999 PM, as it's for most release dates, that is
[19:49] <bprompt> hugowf:   hmm what's so awesome about it anyway?
[19:49] <bprompt> besides, the Release Candidate must already be out, and that's just as good, so use that =P
[19:49] <jacky> ^
[19:51] <bprompt> so they say the release date is April, they really mean the beginning of May, or say October, they really  mean the beginning of November hehe
[19:51] <bprompt> hugowf:  so just use the Release Candidate and don't be so Pavlovian hehe
