heavyarmshmm02:06
heavyarmsokay, I want to run updates with discover, but it thinks I'm offline.. but I'm not02:07
heavyarmsI sort of figured it out02:44
heavyarmsI think02:44
heavyarmsit's not fixed, but I think I know what's causing it. I used wicd instead of the default network thing.02:44
heavyarmswhich brings me to my next thing... is there a reason I shouldn't use synpatic package manager in kubuntu?02:50
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> heavyarms, synaptic pkg manager works great with kubuntu.02:55
heavyarmsokay, fantastic02:57
heavyarmsI'll just use that then02:57
heavyarmsI actually really like kubuntu, but I am very "meh" about discovery02:58
heavyarmsor *discover02:58
heavyarmsI also noticed that I suddenly can't get flash to work in any of the browsers. I'm not sure if this is specific to ubuntu or what03:26
heavyarmsalthough I guess I haven't tried it on opera...03:27
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> To run flash in FF:  sudo apt flashplugin-installer03:43
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> It's already baked into chrome, but current chrome release ( 74.0.3729.131 fails with some flash websites...)03:44
heavyarmshmmm03:56
heavyarmsDarinMiller, I already have that03:56
heavyarmsthe thing that's wrong is that when I try to allow the plugin it does nothing03:57
heavyarmsI already have flash installed03:57

geniiquestions_: sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.0.0-13-generic      ...is what I'd try. It'll either install it or tell you it's already installed22:54
questions_linux-headers-5.0.0-13-generic is already the newest version (5.0.0-13.14).22:55
questions_ -> /lib/modules/5.0.0-13-generic/build/include/linux/version.h not found, looking for generated/uapi/linux/version.h instead.22:56
questions_Failed to build vmmon.  Failed to execute the build command.22:57
geniiCould be this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1825420 where the system thinks it's installed but not22:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1825420 in linux (Ubuntu) "package linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic 5.0.0-13.14 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned" [High,Confirmed]22:59
questions_it is not fixed?23:01
geniiDoesn't seem to be marked as fixed yet23:05
questions_I tried an older version of vmware player and has the same problem23:06
questions_do I neet to buy a new pc?23:07
geniiProbably not.23:07
geniiHave you tried with an earlier kernel instead?23:08
questions_so I install an earlier header?23:11
questions_but can I run 12 kernels at the same time?23:11
questions_*223:11
geniiThere seems to be an earlier similar issue reported on vmware's site, with patches but it's difficult to wade through for me right now23:13
questions_this computer is so problematic23:13
geniiquestions_: The idea would be to select a previous kernel during boot from the grub menu and then see if vmware works under that earlier one23:14
genii( not 2 at the same time, just 1, but an earlier version )23:14
questions_oke I see23:15
geniiquestions_: The similar issue reported at vmware's site https://communities.vmware.com/thread/58014923:16
genii( this was same version.h type issue not found with  Ubuntu 4.13.0-26 kernel )23:16
geniiI don't have time or inclination currently to examine the patch which was supplied, but it may hold a clue to the solution23:17
questions_oke I will install an older vmware player and try that patch23:17
