| magic_ninja | will kubuntu be forcing everyone to use snaps? | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| OerHeks | magic_ninja, no. but 3rd party developers might. | 00:58 |
| magic_ninja | I saw it was included in apt. Is it just a conscious choice? As in we select what we prefer to install? | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | no, not in apt. snaps are available in softwarecenter / muon | 01:01 |
| magic_ninja | what is this I keep hearing about ubuntu 19.10 using apt as a frontend for snap | 01:27 |
| magic_ninja | I'm referencing this video in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-5EJ4PrV9I | 01:28 |
| magic_ninja | Here is another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMPTp4Hjbhg | 01:34 |
| OerHeks | not watching that. | 01:37 |
| OerHeks | snap install <package> vs apt install <package> ... | 01:38 |
| OerHeks | you can easily find that, so i guess you waste your time on that youtube | 01:38 |
| OerHeks | digital waste is bad | 01:38 |

| magic_ninja | OerHeks, I don't believe I did. The point is about apt installing snaps as opposed to installing repository packages. | 04:19 |
| magic_ninja | to wit: apt install <package> installing a snap and not a .deb package. | 04:20 |
| OerHeks | no, it gives a suggestion https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wHHptjwxQh/ | 04:36 |
| valorie | I would assume that someone was willing to make a snap but that nobody in Debian or Ubuntu was willing to package spotify | 05:02 |
| OerHeks | my best bet: independant updates, snap and apt are seperate | 05:04 |

| arash | Hi | 10:48 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Shreddies> Does anybody know how to connect a mobile modem (Nokia C7 phone) to use the internet on it to connect the PC to the internet? Have tried multiple times & it hadn't worked.I know it's possible as I have Kubuntu on my old laptop before it broke & was able to connect my phone & use the exact same phone as a modem.Thanks! | 14:08 |
| viewer|11 | hi guys, please help me out | 15:47 |
| viewer|11 | I wanted to switch driver for touchpad on kubuntu 18.04 to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 15:48 |
| viewer|11 | and it complained something about missing xserver-xorg-core | 15:48 |
| viewer|11 | so I installed core first, then synaptics | 15:49 |
| viewer|11 | rebooted and I'm thrown in terminal | 15:49 |
| viewer|11 | it doesn't boot to xorg anymore, do you have some links I should read? | 15:50 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, look for any xorg.confs in /etc/X11 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 15:51 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ I don't see xorg.conf in /etc/X11 | 15:56 |
| viewer|11 | I don't see xorg.conf.d folder neither | 15:56 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, then remove the conflicting packages. | 15:57 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ did sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 16:06 |
| viewer|11 | rebooted and still no .conf files in X11 | 16:06 |
| diogenes_ | and core? | 16:06 |
| viewer|11 | if I want to remove xserver-xorg-core it wants to delete nvidia-340 also | 16:07 |
| viewer|11 | I guess I'll try anyway | 16:07 |
| diogenes_ | then don't. | 16:08 |
| viewer|11 | ok | 16:08 |
| diogenes_ | reboot | 16:08 |
| viewer|11 | does it matter if I'm using "tty1" or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ? | 16:09 |
| viewer|11 | OK rebooted | 16:09 |
| diogenes_ | doesn't matter. | 16:09 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ I'm still thrown in tty1 | 16:13 |
| viewer|11 | after reboot | 16:13 |
| diogenes_ | ls /usr/share/xsessions/ | 16:14 |
| diogenes_ | what do you get? | 16:14 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ plasma.desktop is inside | 16:21 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, cat /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop | grep Exec | 16:22 |
| diogenes_ | paste here what you get. | 16:22 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ Exec=/usr/bin/startkde | 16:23 |
| viewer|11 | and | 16:23 |
| viewer|11 | TryExec=/usr/bin/startkde | 16:23 |
| diogenes_ | ok now run: startkde | 16:23 |
| diogenes_ | and see what errors you are getting | 16:23 |
| diogenes_ | and where it gets stuck. | 16:23 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server | 16:25 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, run: sudo systemctl restart sddm | 16:26 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ it returns nothing | 16:29 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, now: export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 16:29 |
| diogenes_ | then: startkde | 16:30 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ again returns $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server | 16:31 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, echo $DISPLAY | 16:33 |
| diogenes_ | what does it say? | 16:33 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ :0.0 | 16:34 |
| diogenes_ | viewer|11, ok i have to go now for awhile, emanwhile you can try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-data sddm xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-intel && sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm | 16:36 |
| diogenes_ | reboot fterwards | 16:36 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ I'll try, thank you very much for your effort | 16:36 |
| diogenes_ | you'ew welcome | 16:37 |

| user|65654 | Hello and good evening, I'm having system freezes on Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Almost always when using Firefox. The system becomes completly unresponsive. Can someone help me to identify the cause? | 17:10 |
| diogenes_ | user|65654, how much ram? | 17:11 |
| user|65654 | 32 GiB | 17:11 |
| diogenes_ | user|65654, inxi -f | 17:12 |
| diogenes_ | pastebin | 17:12 |
| diogenes_ | sorry inxi -F | 17:12 |
| user|65654 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H8yPcrq6d6/ | 17:14 |
| diogenes_ | user|65654, in ff about:config try layers.acceleration.force true and restart ff. | 17:19 |
| user|65654 | done | 17:23 |
| diogenes_ | see if you get any improvements. | 17:23 |
| user|65654 | Thank you. I'll try the website that crashed the system. But the freezes feel random, so it might take time. (I'm saving /var/log after each freeze) | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | user|65654: this is how you can reboot without loosing data that's still in the write cache, and with closing the file systems properly so the system does not need to run a file system check on reboot: | 18:00 |
| tomreyn | !sysrq | 18:00 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 18:00 |
| tomreyn | Actually just S, U, B, because R, E, I are ignored on Ubuntu. | 18:01 |
| user|65654 | I'll try that. I've noticed that the nic goes down too. | 18:02 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ I'll try, thank you very much for | 19:05 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ sorry | 19:05 |
| viewer|11 | diogenes_ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ... && sudo dpkg-reconfigure ... worked | 19:06 |
| viewer|11 | I can get in plasma back | 19:06 |
