[15:17] did you know if i can use my ipad 3 with alternative os? ..... more of usual app are no more supported [15:20] 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. [16:02] Can you recover an ubuntu machine with a kubuntu install disk? [16:05] user|39766: recover from what? [16:05] On the login screen it kept saying 'authentication failed [16:06] and wont let me type my password [16:06] tried to reboot, but it spat some sort of mumbo jumbp. [16:31] 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 [17:08] boot into single mode === MKD is now known as denza252 === joan is now known as Guest96810 [19:25] bonsoir all [19:38] @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. === kubuntu is now known as Guest60932 === saigel is now known as Guest75522 === saige is now known as saigel [20:36] Hello, does Kubuntu have any of the Canonical data mining / ad malware installed by default? [20:41] 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 [20:43] bprompt: the point is that I don't want that stuff on my machine. [20:43] mahavishvarupa: then I guess you're golden =) [20:44] thanks bprompt [20:45] 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] but as I said, I have 16.04, dunno if 18.x or 19.x versions have it [20:46] Doesn't something in standard Ubuntu send data to Amazon? I can't recally of the top of my head. [20:46] not that I know of [20:47] some installed apps do stuff like that like webbrowsers, but that's a third-party choice [20:47] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html [20:48] that page is extremely out of date [20:48] there's still an amazon shortcut on Ubuntu (not Kubuntu)'s launcher, but it's literally just a web shortcut, it doesn't send any data that isn't normal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] the whole unity amazon search thing's been dead for years [20:49] OK good. I ask as I'm considering moving to Kubuntu. [20:56] where do I get a minimal or netinstall iso for Kubuntu? [20:57] Can't seem to find it anywhere, if it even exists. [21:01] hmmmm [21:03] mahavishvarupa: I don't see one, not for Kubuntu [21:04] on the other hand, the iso is just over 1Gb === kubuntu is now known as Ur-Overseer [21:05] 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 === mkv is now known as m4v [21:08] 2.4? maybe [21:08] mahavishvarupa: tis simpler to just get the .iso instead of installing kubuntu-desktop [21:14] bprompt: I'm moving from Arch so doing stuff manually isn't an issue for me. [21:26] 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 [21:27] bprompt: this whole thing is because my usb stick isn't big enough!! [22:02] is it possible to upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10 directly? [22:03] or is it best to go to 19.04 and then 19.10 [22:04] fuze: since 18.04 is LTS and 19.10 isn't, sounds more like a downgrade :P [22:05] bprompt: Its just for personal use so i think it would be better. lots of bug fixes [22:06] software updater only find 19.04 === christian_ is now known as chrispolis [22:07] fuze: https://askubuntu.com/questions/34430/can-i-skip-over-releases-when-upgrading <---- a rather old article, but seems relevant [22:08] I guess its Disco Dingo time [22:09] thought Disco was dead? maybe not, I better get my bellbottom pants out of the closet then [22:13] !disco [22:13] Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) is the 30th release of Ubuntu, supported until January 2020. Release Notes: http://ubottu.com/y/dingo [22:13] it's still party time === gruinelli is now known as CaCO3 [22:37] 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? [22:59] 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 [23:00] ..this doesn't prevent someone from highlighting what's in the box however to see how long it is [23:31] genii, ok. thx. which config?\ [23:33] genii, and also what about the very initial password that is used to decrypt hdd\ [23:44] 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] ..or not
