IrcsomeBot<arjun_soni> Hey guys I'm trying to upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10. But no new ubuntu release found.04:57
valorie@arjun_soni - not a guy, but you will need to: sudo do-release-upgrade -d04:59
valoriebecause the upgrade switch hasn't been flipped yet for Ubuntu04:59
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, Thia04:59
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, This04:59
valorie?04:59
* valorie just did a backup and upgrade earlier this evening05:00
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, I tagged your comment and upvoted it with "This" on Telegram, you won't see tagging probably because you are on IRC05:00
valorieok05:01
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, 👍🏻05:01
valorieI am on Tg but not right now05:01
valorieI prefer IRC when possible05:01
IrcsomeBot<arjun_soni> @valorie, Thanks05:03
valorieyou are very welcome05:03
valoriehave fun with it!05:03
valorieI immediately added backports and got Plasma 5.1705:03

IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Kubuntu is great, but lags on my Lapc whenever I flash it on SSD05:05
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Works excellent on USB05:05
valoriewell now that's weird05:05
valorieflash it?05:05
valorieor install it05:05
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, Well, installing, but in Android terms, flashing is equivalent even for onboard storage05:25
valoriehmmm05:30
valorieKubuntu isn't designed or tested for that05:31
valoriethere are people who install kubuntu onto a large thumb drive with persistence, so that they can use random computers05:32
valoriefor instance people traveling the world05:32
valorieit isn't fast though05:32
valorie@princeofclay is there some reason you don't want to just install on your laptop in the usual way?05:33

IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, No05:34
valorieok05:35
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Btw there's a weird problem in latest LTS.05:35
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Touch isn't detected05:35
valoriewell, it's 1.5 years old05:35
valoriemy travel lappy is touch, and it works well, and has for years05:36
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, Ahh, so better to get 19.10?05:36
valoriethat's what both of my laptops are on05:36
valoriepersonally I never advise the LTS unless stability is your most important quality05:37
valoriebusinesses often choose the LTS05:38
valoriebut I'm unsure why the average person would05:38
valorieupgrading every 6 months isn't difficult05:38
valorietook me less than an hour05:38
valorieif I had a separate $HOME I could have done a fresh install in 15 mins05:39
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, I chose it because I'm new to Linux. And I thought the non LTS is something like Android Beta or Windows Insider Programme06:02
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Not for serious use06:02
valorieah!06:02
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> Just for freelance testers06:02
valorieour betas are that, for sure06:02
valorieand it's true that although we test test test, that for the LTS our sole aim is reliability and stability06:03
valoriesince we have to support it for years06:03
valoriewhereas we can try out new things in between06:03
valoriebut we never put out anything without multiple rounds of testing06:03
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> @valorie, This approach is good06:20
valoriein all the years I've been running Kubuntu (over 10) I've had very few problems06:21
valorieand the other users here always help me out of them, even when I caused them myself06:21

Guest5636Hi,08:26
Guest5636I've got a problem with xorg ( I guess ). I was using egpu and everything was fine till it wasn't. Now I am at a point when egpu is unplugged, nvidia drivers purged yet still can't switch to native 1366x768 of a laptop scrren.08:26
Guest5636Login manager starts in the correct resolution but desktop envirorment starts in insufferable 660x540.08:28
Guest5636*it's 960x5008:29
lordievaderEgpu?08:30
lordievaderWhat graphics card are you using, and what driver are you using for it?08:30
Guest5636lordievader: yup, some old nvidia plugged into adapter and connected via express card.08:30
Guest5636Ah one sec.08:31
lordievaderSounds complicated08:31
Guest5636zotac on nv 630 driver - thou as I said - it's unplugged, nvidia drivers purged and all I want for now is to get the correct laptop resolution.08:32
lordievaderRight, so the laptop has an integrated (Intel?) card as well?08:33
Guest5636Yes.08:34
lordievaderCould you pastebin the out of `sudo lspci -k` and `cat /proc/cmdline`?08:38
Guest5636lordievader: will try - let me grab the other machine - typing from different laptop.08:50
enkeyzhey guys: just installed from 19.04 to 19.10, and I have one small problem: the new Chromium browser(v77) doesn't respect GTK cursor theme08:57
enkeyzany solution to this?08:57
enkeyzOnly Chromium, in VSCode it works fine08:58
enkeyz(and in other GTK apps)09:00
Guest19615lordievader: https://pastebin.com/tU5v2NxN09:03
Guest19615( epgu guy )09:03
lordievaderThat looks alright09:05
lordievaderI get the feeling the resolution is configured somewhere, rather than auto detected. You could try what this guy has done: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=22872109:08
Guest5636<309:11
Guest5636xrandr did the trick.09:11
Guest5636Thanks.09:11
Guest5636Still wandering why kde prevents from getting there.09:11
enkeyzSo looks like only Chromium from snap have GTK theme issues09:13
enkeyz(just built it from source)09:14
enkeyzI wonder who thought snap will be fun for 19.10, it's just awful09:16

tomreynGuest82927: ^ but indeed X runs as root on kubuntu 19.04 as well12:25
Guest82927tomreyn: any reason for the shift from unprivileged user you know of?12:33
tomreynGuest82927: i don't know how sddm and kde work under the hood, so can't really comment.12:34
tomreynalso, i'd just assume that kubuntu's X always ran as root and it's just not shifted to a restricted user configuration, yet (so i don't see a move from restricted back to root, as your question seems to suggest).12:36
Guest82927Maybe so. Thanks for input.12:44
IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> This is offtopic guys, but is MX Linux rigging to top position?12:49

IrcsomeBot<princeofclay> If its really at the top, what Kubuntu can include from it to increase users12:50

BluesKajHi folks13:35
IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> Hello! The Kubuntu website says upgrade to 19.10 from 19.04 is available. Running the command says 'no update release'. Third party info says update until 1 St point release!? ???13:38
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @Anarchotaoist, Where does it say it is available?13:39
OerHeksiso's are available..13:40
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Upgrading from 19.04 … Detailed upgrade instructions can be found here: [Kubuntu 19.04 to 19.10 Upgrade](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu)13:40
OerHeks there is no upgrade path yet, use  "update-manager -c -d"  option for now, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes13:41
OerHeksor you beter wait a few days, tuesday maybe13:41
xbfrogwhat happens tue?13:42
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> The announce,ents and release notes point to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EoanUpgrades/Kubuntu13:42
OerHeksthis delay is normal, for years, it gives us some time to detect upgrade issues, so please report any!13:42
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @RikMills, Which says: "There may a delay of a few hrs to days between the official release announcements and the Ubuntu Release Team enabling upgrades."13:42
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> No-where does it say upgrades are available NOW13:43
OerHeksomgubuntu ( and others) should be more clear about this..13:44
BluesKajif you want to upgrade by the cli just run sudo do-release-upgrade -d , since the package manager is obviously mucked up13:56
BluesKajmake sure to update and upgrade the existing 19.04 packages first tho13:57
tomreynand probably to ppa-purge all PPAs which could get in the way, and to run apt-forktracer.14:00
BluesKajtomreyn, what's apt-forktracer ?14:12
=== MANIAC is now known as Guest37248
tomreyn!info apt-forktracer14:13
ubottuapt-forktracer (source: apt-forktracer): utility for tracking non-official package versions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5 (bionic), package size 21 kB, installed size 122 kB14:13
tomreynBluesKaj: it's similar to what the foreign_packages wrapper script (around apt-show-versions) at https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts/#foreign_packages does, but it's included in ubuntu, and usually good enough, so i'm rather recommending this for now.14:15
BluesKajI see14:17
BluesKajthanks14:17
tomreynit's all about detecting packages and package versions which apt doesn't know how to handle, and which have no tested upgrade paths14:17
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> @Franzpow, Can someone please answer me? Thank you14:18
tomreynBluesKaj: maybe you know the answer to a question raised by soemone else here earlier (which i couldn't answer): why does Xorg on kubuntu run as root when some of the other falvours have it running as a restricted user?14:19
BluesKajtomreyn, no idea14:20
tomreynFranzpow: it's okay to repeat your question occasionally, such as after 8 hours.14:20
tomreyni'll help, but it was cut off:14:21
tomreyn<Franzpow> Hey, yesterday I had the same problem as you updating from terminal to 19.10, so I did this instead. … I searched for: …  ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt_19.10.15_all.deb … So I added: … deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan main universe … After that I updated every package on Discover. Now it says that I have kubuntu 19.10. … Did I make a mistake? Will my system blow up soon? It's like I updated everything manually bu14:21
tomreynBluesKaj: ok, i assume it's probably just not possible kde-wise, yet14:22
tomreyn(but i'm really clueless there, too)14:22
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> @tomreyn> <Franzpow, I just wrote this yesterday more than 24hrs ago but I did not receive an answer.. So I asked here another time (now)14:23
BluesKajtomreyn, I used to do some Xorg.conf editing back in the day when ATI gpus required it, but that was a long time ago14:24
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> This is the missing part  … "Did I make a mistake? Will my system blow up soon? It's like I updated everything manually but I am wondering if I did it right.."14:25
tomreynFranzpow: cool. i'm just saying it's good to repeat the question occasionally since people join and leave. 19.10 upgrades are not supported, yet.14:25
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> @tomreyn, Oh ok I did not understand properly what you were saying14:25
tomreynBluesKaj: autoconfiguration was really a great improvement.14:25
tomreynFranzpow: no worries ;)14:26
tomreynFranzpow: so the way you upgraded is not how it should be done. it may still have worked out okay but there's a good chance your system configuration differs from a fresh 19.10 installation now in ways beyond the changes you made on purpose. it may be desirable to backup and do a fresh installation sometime in the not so distant future.14:29

IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> This is what I have in the folder16:40
tomreynFranzpow: 19.10 is known as "eoan", 19.04 is known as "disco". if you see "disco" in there, replace it by "eoan". my motivation to support you with this is limited because you picked an upgrade path (editing some apt sources, not using what's recommended in all (official) documentation) is unsupported16:41
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> I know but I really was unaware of this... I just thought that I had to download these updates to upgrade my Kubuntu with the official way. It was My error but I am new to this and I was not able to understand properly the instructions16:43
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Now I will proceed to replace disco with eoan16:44
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Thank you16:44
tomreynyou're welcome, good luck. and don't forget about the reamining tasks afterwards:16:44
tomreyn<tomreyn> Franzpow: you should probably ensure that all apt sources at /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} are now pointing to 19.10, then:  apt update; apt -f install; apt upgrade; apt full-upgrade16:44
tomreynit is possible that    "apt update" will already print warnings and errors, usually this is because third party apt repositories do not support the new release, yet. you can comment those apt source out and retry them in a wek or two.16:46

evgenyhi.. can you give me advice please? when i load Kubuntu 18.04, there is Discover manages starts up. i do not configure it. i can not find out, where is set up of this.16:48
evgenyit's good for my system if i run in Konsole sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? Someone recommends me run it16:59
tomreynevgeny: i had difficulties understanding your first questions. maybe you can rephrase it in some short sentences?17:01
evgenytomreyn Hi. Every time i boot my system, there is opens Discover manager, how to disable this startup?17:02
tomreynabout your second question: unless you have manually edited /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} to point your apt sources to a different (k)ubuntu release, or have third party repositories configured which will upgrade software to newer releases, it is always safe to run    sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade17:03
tomreynevgeny: i think that if you close "discover" before you log off / shutdown it will not start up automatically upon login (unless there are pending updates)17:04
evgenythank you :)17:04
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> @tomreyn, I think I replaced correctly all the repositories but for now I have 0 updates to do.17:52
ohallotHello community.. I tried command "do-release-upgrade" to update my kubuntu but it returns "no upgrade available". Am I missing something? Is this command still supported? Thanks!17:53
