[02:41] <whitewolf__> i get a message cant sudo dolphin unfixable security vunabilites anyone have any idea
[02:46] <tomreyn> i doubt the message is "cant sudo dolphin unfixable security vunabilites"
[02:46] <tomreyn> whitewolf__: ^
[02:47] <tomreyn> why do you need to run dolphin as root in the first place?
[02:47] <whitewolf__> I want to place a folder in the cursors folder
[02:49] <tomreyn> oh, i'm too slow
[03:47] <macroprep> :P
[10:59] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ebrahim Hakimuddin> @ericadams, Yhh I mean when i was using Ubuuntu I had no issues with boots and stuff.
[11:29] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
 Hello
[15:24] <syddel> quit
[18:44] <fuze> Hi I am having this issue how can I fix it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1116780/18-04-stuck-in-login-loop-startx-fails
[18:44] <fuze> sddm loads and then black screen with cursor after login
[18:45] <diogenes_> how did it happen?
[18:47] <fuze> diogenes_: possibly messing with this, but im not sure https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/asxhcc/i_wrote_a_program_to_control_asus_aura_rgb/egy7uvk/
[18:47] <fuze> here are some logs http://termbin.com/gg0t http://termbin.com/8kbh
[18:48] <diogenes_> so prior that patch all was fine?
[18:49] <fuze> diogenes_: yes
[18:50] <fuze> The patch didnt work so I was messing with other files in /lib/modules but reinstalling all the modules didnt fix it
[18:50] <fuze> also I didnt have an xorg.conf file until I ran nvidia-xconf or similiar command I dont remember it
[18:51] <diogenes_> well then try to login with ctrl+alt+f1/2/3/4 navigate to that flder and do: sud make uninstall then: sudo rmmod i2c-piix4 then startx
[18:52] <fuze> diogenes_: I only installed it with insmod so updating the kernel should have overwritten it
[18:53] <diogenes_> it's in initramfs.
[18:54] <fuze> diogenes_: so can I refresh initramfs?
[18:55] <diogenes_> remove the module nd re-generate initramfs.
[18:55] <fuze> diogenes_: I thought Modules manually loaded using insmod do not persist when your system is rebooted (
[18:55] <fuze> https://serverfault.com/questions/147501/will-modules-installed-by-insmod-command-persist-after-rebooting
[18:56] <fuze> diogenes_: how do i remove the module and regenerate?
[18:57] <diogenes_> fuze, blacklist the module, then: sudo -update-initramfs -u
[18:57] <diogenes_>  sudo update-initramfs -u
[18:58] <fuze> how do i blacklist?
[18:58] <fuze> I dont want to make anything worse
[18:58] <fuze> So I want to make sure im running the right command
[19:00] <diogenes_> run: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:00] <diogenes_> add the following:
[19:00] <diogenes_> blacklist i2c-piix4
[19:01] <diogenes_> save, close, re-generare initramfs then reboot.
[19:04] <fuze> still not working
[19:10] <fuze> diogenes_: Is it possible to just install kubuntu 19.04 on top of my 18.04 installation?
[19:11] <diogenes_> fuze, what do you eman on top? you want to preserve the settings?
[19:12] <fuze> yes preserve all settings, I assume Ill have to reinstall all packages? my home folder is a separate partition
[19:12] <diogenes_> btw another quick try would be to rename the .config folder and then try to login again.
[19:13] <diogenes_> in case you got a separate /home then a new installation will preserve all your settings, but DON'T forget to specify the /home partition as mount and "no format".
[19:13] <fuze> What about installed packages?
[19:13] <diogenes_> ackages would be gone
[19:14] <fuze> diogenes_: Is it possible to get a list of all the ones I installed besides default?
[19:14] <diogenes_> apt list --installed > installed-packages
[19:14] <fuze> diogenes_: RENAMING .CONFIG FIXED IT
[19:14] <diogenes_> oh nice
[19:15] <fuze> thank you'
[19:15] <fuze> but now I lost all my settings
[19:15] <fuze> I was messing with app icons, idk how that would break it though
[19:15] <diogenes_> yeah that's why at this point you've got two choices:
[19:15] <diogenes_> 1) to re-configure all again
[19:16] <diogenes_> 2) to go thorough the trial-and-fail method and try to identify what exactly broke the things
[19:16] <fuze> Is there some sort of log that would help?
 Hey Guys, on my Plasma 5.12.9 my plasma media applet in the system tray icon disappeared and I don't want to log out and log back in to load it.  Any idea how to start from the CLI or KRunner?
[19:18] <diogenes_> fuze, you can look at cat .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log and cat .xsession-errors or whatever logs plasma creates (sorry i'm not too familiar with plasma)
 I can no longer use my keyboard play/pause button to control media when this applet is not loaded.  I tried adding a widget, but it shows no music players running...
[19:26] <fuze> diogenes_: what should the chmod permissions command of ~/.config be?
[19:26] <fuze> I backed up with sudo so i think it broke stuff
[19:28] <fuze> 744 i think
[19:29] <diogenes_> sudo chown username:username -R .config
[19:31] <fuze> diogenes_: Is there an easy way to logout the blackscreen from a different tty?
[19:32] <diogenes_> ctrl+alt+f7
[19:32] <fuze> diogenes_: But if i go back to ctrl alt f1 its still logged in, can i return it to the sddm?
[19:34] <diogenes_> no clue, maybe ctrl+alt+backspace (double press)
[19:35] <fuze> diogenes_: Not working, Ill just have to reboot every time I delete some files
[19:36] <diogenes_> nooo
[19:36] <diogenes_> of course not
[19:36] <diogenes_> try systemctl logout
[19:40] <diogenes_> some sources recommend: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0
[19:46] <fuze> diogenes_: doesnt seem to work
[19:46] <fuze> the logout
[19:46] <diogenes_> skill -KILL -u 'whoami'
[19:46] <diogenes_> try that ^
[19:47] <fuze> no process selection criteria
[19:47] <diogenes_> even: killall bash
[19:48] <fuze> nope
[19:53] <diogenes_> yeah this is the recommended: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout -1 -1 -1
[19:54] <diogenes_> but i can't test it.
[19:58] <fuze> cannot find .logout in object /ksmserver at org.kde.ksmserver
[19:59] <diogenes_> sudo systemctl restart sddm
[20:01] <fuze> ok that works, not sure if its just showing the sddm or actually logging out though
[20:01] <diogenes_> killall plasma-desktop && kstart plasma-desktop
[20:01] <diogenes_> see which one works
[20:02] <fuze> no process found
[20:03] <fuze> diogenes_: actually just restarting sddm works caus i tried deleting .config and then that worked
[20:03] <fuze> so plasma doesnt even start with my config
[20:04] <diogenes_> ok good.
[20:09] <fuze> diogenes_: is there an easy command to take a list of all the files/folders in one directory, and remove files/folders with the same name in another directory?
[20:11] <diogenes_> fuze, sure there is but at this point im too tired to continue so hopefully someone could assist you further on.
[20:13] <fuze> diogenes_: ok thank you for all the help though
[20:13] <diogenes_> np
[20:13]  * diogenes_ is off
[20:36] <fuze> dilfridge: Found the issue. This was in /home/austin/.config.bak/plasma-workspace/env/  https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/mKe0PwTg/
[20:37] <fuze> wait thats just a symlink to a startup script i wrote
[20:42] <fuze> ohh i remember why I put that there. was trying to fix this bug https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/372710/kde5-after-resume-from-suspend-i-have-corrupted-labels-under-icons
