IrcsomeBot<lluisfus> No14:52
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I have seen that login screen before, but it's been a long time.  What version of Kubunutu?14:52
IrcsomeBot<lluisfus> 19.0414:53
IrcsomeBot<lluisfus> I have updated the system and it has appeared like this14:54

IrcsomeBot<lluisfus> Any idea?14:58
NoDroidHello, I'm trying to install Kubuntu 19.04. Downloaded the ISO, verified it, it successfully verified. When booting to the live environment, initramfs tries mounting but there's a I/O error. Just before I had it mounting, it asked which screen, but I picked the wrong screen, so I restarted the process.15:03
NoDroidI'd like to add that also, after the initial screen choice, I turned on the tv to see the options, and the screen had horizontal lines in erroneous fashion.15:05
NoDroidWhat should I do next?15:06
BluesKajNoDroid, without trying to boot the device in the efi/bios check dolphin to see if the media has boot files listed15:12
NoDroidmounting the USB drive on this laptop, the files are listed.15:15
BluesKajNoDroid, is the laptop where you want to install kubuntu?15:17
NoDroidEFI > BOOT > shows BOOTx64.EFI grubx64.efi mmx64.efi15:17
NoDroidno15:17
NoDroidMy SSD got corrupted trying to install kubuntu. So after that happened, I got rid of the image, re-downloaded, and used dd to copy the image to the same USB key which it successfully verified.15:19
NoDroidMaybe I'll try to verify it again.15:19
BluesKajdoes it boot in the laptop ?15:19
NoDroidI don't know15:20
NoDroidGuess I could try15:20
NoDroidbut it might mess this up as well.15:20
NoDroidthen I won't have a device to use. I'll try anyway15:20
NoDroidbrb15:20
BluesKajthat's one way to check the image is ok, just don't install15:20
NoDroidit booted.15:28
NoDroidI tried a different USB port, and it also booted on my desktop. O.o15:28
NoDroidBluesKaj: ^^15:28
DarinMillernoDroid I have seen strange USB boot behavior on one of my laptops also.  After install the supsect USB port works fine.  I suspect a weird BIOS issue.15:31
BluesKajso you're in business, NoDroid15:33
NoDroidOkay, successfully installed. Just updating/upgrading now. xD15:46
NoDroidThat was weird.15:46
BluesKajNoDroid, it's not unusual, i've had the same problem with some usb ports15:48
NoDroidThanks for the help. :)15:50

murthyhow to set system wide dns ip18:07
murthyMy router doesn't provide option to change the dns server18:07
diogenes_murthy, with dnsmasq probably.18:15
murthydiogenes_: I saw that in one post, does that work?18:17
diogenes_murthy, for me it works perfectly and i got actually a better insternet speed and stability with dnsmasq than with the dfault resolver.18:19
murthydiogenes_: ok I will try that18:20
murthydiogenes_: I tried the solution given in this page and it didn't work https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128220/how-do-i-set-my-dns-when-resolv-conf-is-being-overwritten/163506#16350618:28
diogenes_murthy, no no, it need a lot more tweaking, i will show you what i did but first undo this sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf (if you did)18:29
diogenes_that's no good18:29
murthyI didn't do that18:30
murthyI installed dnsmasq18:30
murthythen18:30
diogenes_then?18:30
murthyI added two lines "server=8.8.8.8" and  "server=8.8.4.4" to /etc/dnsmasq.conf18:31
murthythen restarted the dnsmasq service and then the network manager service18:31
murthyIt didn't work18:31
murthyso I reverted the changes made18:31
diogenes_no no, as i said it needs a lot more tweaks so wait a moment i will give you.18:31
murthyok18:32
murthyfirefox works with dns over https18:32
diogenes_murthy, here: http://dpaste.com/3PM2H2G18:35
diogenes_if you are not that familiar with vi then inststead of sudo vi use sudo nano or any other text editor that you are familiar with.18:36
murthydiogenes_: can you confirm line 14 is duplicate18:42
diogenes_murthy, looks like that.18:43
murthyok18:43
murthydiogenes_: 38 line doesn't work, I am getting this , "bash: /etc/resolv.conf.head: Permission denied"18:49
murthythe command used is sudo echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf.head18:50
diogenes_murthy, check and see if that file actually exists, some files don't usually exist so you need first to create them.18:50
murthyok18:50
murthyit doesn't exit18:51
murthyI will create one18:51
murthybrb18:52
diogenes_to create it just run: sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf.head18:52
diogenes_then: sudo echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf.head18:53

diogenes_hi, moderately.19:11
=== murthy_ is now known as murthy
murthydiogenes_: I already did "sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf.head" and the file was created but still I am getting "bash: /etc/resolv.conf.head: Permission denied"19:13
diogenes_murthy, ok then just do: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf.head19:14
diogenes_and put in there: nameserver 127.0.0.119:14
diogenes_save, close.19:14
murthydiogenes_: worked19:15
murthydiogenes_: on line 42 prepend is an instruction to the user or its part of the file?19:17
murthybtw /etc/dhclient.conf is empty19:17
diogenes_it should literally be: prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;19:19
murthyok19:19
murthythen the contents of the file would be "19:19
murthyprepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;"19:19
diogenes_without quotes19:20
murthyya19:21
murthydiogenes_: I am using ipv4 should I change line 54 and 56?19:23
diogenes_yes19:24
murthydiogenes_: the 54 line would be "sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ipv4_listen.conf"19:30
murthydiogenes_: what would be 56 line?19:30
murthydiogenes_: what would be the listen-address ?19:31
diogenes_it's you need to write this: listen-address=::1 in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ipv4_listen.conf19:32
diogenes_wait19:32
diogenes_it's not /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ipv4_listen.conf it's /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ipv6_listen.conf19:33
diogenes_you wrote ipv4 and it should be ipv619:33
murthyeven if I use ipv4 address?19:34
diogenes_yes19:34
murthyok19:34
murthydiogenes_: going to reboot19:37
diogenes_ok19:37
murthydiogenes_: hi19:40
murthydiogenes_: how to check if I am using 8.8.8.8 as dns server19:41
diogenes_murthy, cat /etc/resolv.conf19:41
diogenes_if it returns: nameserver 127.0.0.119:41
diogenes_then you're good to go.19:41
murthydiogenes_: it says "nameserver 127.0.0.53"19:42
IrcsomeBot<sianariman> i've tried today the last stable from kdenlive 19.XX. is really sh*** and they damaged all the good things in it. They force me to comeback to the finalcut and camtasia.19:42
diogenes_murthy, then it's either you have missed something from that tutorial or our trick didn't work.19:44
murthydiogenes_: ok19:46
murthymade one case change in a file, going to reboot19:50
murthydiogenes_: can you share the contents of your /etc/dhclient.conf   ?20:00
diogenes_murthy, sure, it's only one line: prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;20:01
murthydiogenes_: ok20:02
keithzg-MHmmm, I wonder why when SDDM goes wrong on my 18.04 install, restarting the service gets it back in a different state (have to enter username manually too, rather than having the carousel to choose the user) than a fresh boot does.20:04

NoCodeWhat's the average / size of kubuntu?20:09
bpromptNoCode:   depends on the version, I run 16.04 and the original install was about 9gbs IIRC20:11
bpromptthe install image is just a little over 1gb20:12
airsoftmodelsi just installed 19.04 yesterday and its 17gb20:12
diogenes_no way20:12
bprompt17gbs sounds like a stretch20:13
bpromptI recall my 18.04 install was around 10gbs I think20:13
airsoftmodelswell, i just took the size of my ssd minus free space20:13
airsoftmodelsi did updates20:13
airsoftmodelsbut havent added anything really20:14
diogenes_it also listes your data from documents, downloads music etc.20:14
airsoftmodelsyeah, but i didn't put anything on there.20:15
airsoftmodelsno docs, no downloads, no music20:15
airsoftmodelsare your running 19.04?20:15
diogenes_no20:16
airsoftmodelsok.  well i just dl it yesterday night20:16
NoCodeWell ... my root partition is set to 28 gb (used this size for gnome-3, and 2 other variants), and I've used up 26.66 gb of data on the partition. That's with a /home partition as well.20:16
NoCodeLike a separate /home partition20:17
NoCodeI dunno how the hell this has happened.20:17
NoCodeIt just doesn't make sense20:17
airsoftmodelsi buy an 256gb ssd for each distro i want to run20:18
airsoftmodelscurrently have 5 of them.20:18
bpromptNoCode:    you're running 19.04 and it ballooned to 28gbs? is that it?20:19
NoCodeyep20:19
NoCodeMy friend said a base install should be 4 gb.20:19
bpromptNoCode:    I'm guessing cache files.... apt's cache, do a -> sudo apt-get clean;  to toss any downloaded .deb files20:19
bpromptNoCode:    base install of 4gbs?   doubt that, my 16.04 was around 9gbs20:20
airsoftmodelsi am really happy with 19.04 so far.  i am coming from mint20:22
NoCodeI'm not sure but I'm gonna go back to 18.04.20:24
bpromptI installed 18.04 but broke some things, so I fixed them and then broke some more, whilst in 16.04 all my apps work peachy, I could take the time to have 18.04 working and all, just shouldn't have so many apps going south, at leas the apps I use, and 18.04 is LTS, 19.04 isn't20:25
airsoftmodelsi agree20:26
airsoftmodelssame with mint, a new version borks my emulators20:26
questions_my task panel is stuck, it does not show the right applications that are running it shows one that is no longer running when I click on one icon, it will open another applicition20:35
NoDroidYeah, something is definitely wrong. No idea why my installation ballooned. This Manjaro installation, with only the basics installed. I only installed a couple things, is only 10.34 gb.20:45
NoDroidMaybe I'll try getting rid of my /home partition to see if that is it.20:45
NoDroidand just do a basic install.20:46
mparilloI have 8 Kubuntu VMs totaling 60GB. So, on average less than 8GB per. None were minimal installs, and I admit none have significant data, nor years of apt updates, but there are eight data points.20:55
NoDroidOkay, so /var/log has 22 G of data. LOL20:58
