| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:10 |
| cooltex | hi guys!! | 15:15 |
| cooltex | did you know if i can use my ipad 3 with alternative os? ..... more of usual app are no more supported | 15:17 |
| altendky | i have a lenovo p1 gen 2 with intel 630 + nvidia T2000 max-q graphics and i'm having trouble getting consistent recognition of a display on the hdmi output. i am trying with both a tv and a monitor. any ideas how to get some useful info for debugging this? the 'switch to external screen' bar pops up consistently when unplugging or plugging in a display but only occasionally is the display available. | 15:20 |
| user|39766 | Can you recover an ubuntu machine with a kubuntu install disk? | 16:02 |
| altendky | user|39766: recover from what? | 16:05 |
| user|39766 | On the login screen it kept saying 'authentication failed | 16:05 |
| user|39766 | and wont let me type my password | 16:06 |
| user|39766 | tried to reboot, but it spat some sort of mumbo jumbp. | 16:06 |
| altendky | i'm not really sure exactly what's different but my external display is now tending to work. i did use the leave>reboot instead of `sudo reboot` so maybe it just needed that once or twice. though i don't think it's 100% quite yet. but tending to work is a good start | 16:31 |

| IrcsomeBot1 | <avinash512> @Crell, Same. In fact all 19.10 ubuntu family releases had erratic behaviour on my laptop. Sticking with 18.04 LTS as it runs smoothly. | 19:38 |

| mahavishvarupa | Hello, does Kubuntu have any of the Canonical data mining / ad malware installed by default? | 20:36 |
| bprompt | mahavishvarupa: no that I'm aware of, however I'm on 16.04, not sure if 18.04 or 19.10 have added any, however you can just install them I take it from the repositories | 20:41 |
| mahavishvarupa | bprompt: the point is that I don't want that stuff on my machine. | 20:43 |
| bprompt | mahavishvarupa: then I guess you're golden =) | 20:43 |
| mahavishvarupa | thanks bprompt | 20:44 |
| bprompt | kinda misread some, I understood some anti-malware... nope, but you meant, data mining as for data reporting or feedback.... that I'm aware of | 20:45 |
| bprompt | but as I said, I have 16.04, dunno if 18.x or 19.x versions have it | 20:45 |
| mahavishvarupa | Doesn't something in standard Ubuntu send data to Amazon? I can't recally of the top of my head. | 20:46 |
| bprompt | not that I know of | 20:46 |
| bprompt | some installed apps do stuff like that like webbrowsers, but that's a third-party choice | 20:47 |
| mahavishvarupa | https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html | 20:47 |
| dax | that page is extremely out of date | 20:48 |
| dax | there's still an amazon shortcut on Ubuntu (not Kubuntu)'s launcher, but it's literally just a web shortcut, it doesn't send any data that isn't normal web browsing data | 20:48 |
| dax | the whole unity amazon search thing's been dead for years | 20:48 |
| mahavishvarupa | OK good. I ask as I'm considering moving to Kubuntu. | 20:49 |
| mahavishvarupa | where do I get a minimal or netinstall iso for Kubuntu? | 20:56 |
| mahavishvarupa | Can't seem to find it anywhere, if it even exists. | 20:57 |
| bprompt | hmmmm | 21:01 |
| bprompt | mahavishvarupa: I don't see one, not for Kubuntu | 21:03 |
| bprompt | on the other hand, the iso is just over 1Gb | 21:04 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Ur-Overseer | ||
| mahavishvarupa | really Kubuntu's iso clocked in 2.4GB when I just looked now. Any way I'm going to use the netinstall and just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 21:05 |
| === mkv is now known as m4v | ||
| bprompt | 2.4? maybe | 21:08 |
| bprompt | mahavishvarupa: tis simpler to just get the .iso instead of installing kubuntu-desktop | 21:08 |
| mahavishvarupa | bprompt: I'm moving from Arch so doing stuff manually isn't an issue for me. | 21:14 |
| bprompt | mahavishvarupa: well, chances are, there'll be very few apps from the iso that you won't need, and you remove those, but there are very few, I use Kubuntu, however I don't run Kwin, KDE's window manager, I run LXQT, much faster and flexible, however I do use quite a bit of the kde apps and QT apps | 21:26 |
| mahavishvarupa | bprompt: this whole thing is because my usb stick isn't big enough!! | 21:27 |
| fuze | is it possible to upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10 directly? | 22:02 |
| fuze | or is it best to go to 19.04 and then 19.10 | 22:03 |
| bprompt | fuze: since 18.04 is LTS and 19.10 isn't, sounds more like a downgrade :P | 22:04 |
| fuze | bprompt: Its just for personal use so i think it would be better. lots of bug fixes | 22:05 |
| fuze | software updater only find 19.04 | 22:06 |
| === christian_ is now known as chrispolis | ||
| bprompt | fuze: https://askubuntu.com/questions/34430/can-i-skip-over-releases-when-upgrading <---- a rather old article, but seems relevant | 22:07 |
| fuze | I guess its Disco Dingo time | 22:08 |
| bprompt | thought Disco was dead? maybe not, I better get my bellbottom pants out of the closet then | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | !disco | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) is the 30th release of Ubuntu, supported until January 2020. Release Notes: http://ubottu.com/y/dingo | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | it's still party time | 22:13 |

| Intelo | Which settings in kubuntu hides the password chars visible to on login screen? I want to hide so no one can even count how many chars of password I have? | 22:37 |
| genii | Intelo: There's no direct way to do this, but you can simulate this behaviour by editing it's configuration to make the text colour the same as the background of the text entry box | 22:59 |
| genii | ..this doesn't prevent someone from highlighting what's in the box however to see how long it is | 23:00 |
| Intelo | genii, ok. thx. which config?\ | 23:31 |
| Intelo | genii, and also what about the very initial password that is used to decrypt hdd\ | 23:33 |
| genii | Intelo: For default Breeze theme,/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf file, the line reading color=#1d99f3 change to all white by color=#ffffff | 23:44 |
| genii | ..or not | 23:44 |
