[00:43] will kubuntu be forcing everyone to use snaps? [00:58] magic_ninja, no. but 3rd party developers might. [00:59] I saw it was included in apt. Is it just a conscious choice? As in we select what we prefer to install? [01:01] no, not in apt. snaps are available in softwarecenter / muon [01:27] what is this I keep hearing about ubuntu 19.10 using apt as a frontend for snap [01:28] I'm referencing this video in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-5EJ4PrV9I [01:34] Here is another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMPTp4Hjbhg [01:37] not watching that. [01:38] snap install vs apt install ... [01:38] you can easily find that, so i guess you waste your time on that youtube [01:38] digital waste is bad === fred_1121 is now known as Guest93897 [04:19] OerHeks, I don't believe I did. The point is about apt installing snaps as opposed to installing repository packages. [04:20] to wit: apt install installing a snap and not a .deb package. [04:36] no, it gives a suggestion https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wHHptjwxQh/ [05:02] I would assume that someone was willing to make a snap but that nobody in Debian or Ubuntu was willing to package spotify [05:04] my best bet: independant updates, snap and apt are seperate === rynot is now known as cart_man [06:27] Good morning === lab is now known as Kuser [10:48] Hi [11:20] Hey folks [14:08] 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! [15:47] hi guys, please help me out [15:48] I wanted to switch driver for touchpad on kubuntu 18.04 to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [15:48] and it complained something about missing xserver-xorg-core [15:49] so I installed core first, then synaptics [15:49] rebooted and I'm thrown in terminal [15:50] it doesn't boot to xorg anymore, do you have some links I should read? [15:51] viewer|11, look for any xorg.confs in /etc/X11 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [15:56] diogenes_ I don't see xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [15:56] I don't see xorg.conf.d folder neither [15:57] viewer|11, then remove the conflicting packages. [16:06] diogenes_ did sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [16:06] rebooted and still no .conf files in X11 [16:06] and core? [16:07] if I want to remove xserver-xorg-core it wants to delete nvidia-340 also [16:07] I guess I'll try anyway [16:08] then don't. [16:08] ok [16:08] reboot [16:09] does it matter if I'm using "tty1" or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ? [16:09] OK rebooted [16:09] doesn't matter. [16:13] diogenes_ I'm still thrown in tty1 [16:13] after reboot [16:14] ls /usr/share/xsessions/ [16:14] what do you get? [16:21] diogenes_ plasma.desktop is inside [16:22] viewer|11, cat /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop | grep Exec [16:22] paste here what you get. [16:23] diogenes_ Exec=/usr/bin/startkde [16:23] and [16:23] TryExec=/usr/bin/startkde [16:23] ok now run: startkde [16:23] and see what errors you are getting [16:23] and where it gets stuck. [16:25] diogenes_ $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server [16:26] viewer|11, run: sudo systemctl restart sddm [16:29] diogenes_ it returns nothing [16:29] viewer|11, now: export DISPLAY=:0.0 [16:30] then: startkde [16:31] diogenes_ again returns $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server [16:33] viewer|11, echo $DISPLAY [16:33] what does it say? [16:34] diogenes_ :0.0 [16:36] 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] reboot fterwards [16:36] diogenes_ I'll try, thank you very much for your effort [16:37] you'ew welcome [16:56] 🇩🇪 Happy German Reunification Day everybody! 🇩🇪 [17:02] Sup [17:10] 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? [17:11] user|65654, how much ram? [17:11] 32 GiB [17:12] user|65654, inxi -f [17:12] pastebin [17:12] sorry inxi -F [17:14] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H8yPcrq6d6/ [17:19] user|65654, in ff about:config try layers.acceleration.force true and restart ff. [17:23] done [17:23] see if you get any improvements. [17:26] 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) [18:00] 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] !sysrq [18:00] 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 [18:01] Actually just S, U, B, because R, E, I are ignored on Ubuntu. [18:02] I'll try that. I've noticed that the nic goes down too. [19:05] diogenes_ I'll try, thank you very much for [19:05] diogenes_ sorry [19:06] diogenes_ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ... && sudo dpkg-reconfigure ... worked [19:06] I can get in plasma back [19:17] compod was added by: compod
