[16:11] <RikMills> BluesKaj: you are talking to a banned and deleted telegram user ;)
[16:12] <mparillo> They are like sea gulls; they fly in, unload their excrement, and fly out.
[16:12] <BluesKaj> RikMills, mparillo, I realized that too late :-)
 Happy new year!
[16:15] <BluesKaj> Happy New Year, Franzpow
 Is it possible that I don't see any update in discover since I've installed kubuntu?
 I reinstalled it 1 month ago
 @Franzpow, What release?
 I am running kubuntu 19.10
 There will have been some updates. Make sure you have the update repos enabled. Security updates may have been done automatically
 It's strange. I remember that I had to update manually the security updates
[16:33] <BluesKaj> unattended upgrades is enabled by default and it runs automatically in the background when security upgrades become available, afaik
 You're right
 I checked it out in the options
[16:35] <BluesKaj> I just update and upgrade everyday with apt in the konsole
 I disabled it. I will try to find in the next days if discover tells me that there are new updates avaible
 BluesKaj: can you tell me which command I have to run to do that?
 Apt-update?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
 Does it ask me first if I want to upgrade?
 Or it just does it automatically?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> yes
[16:36] <BluesKaj> it asks
[16:37] <BluesKaj> after updating
 Ok fine
 So it basically searches for updates
[16:37] <BluesKaj> yes
 And asks you if you wanna install those upgrades
 Updates*
[16:37] <BluesKaj> yes
[16:38] <BluesKaj> if you agree after running the above command just hit enter
 Ok. I think that you're right and I am installing automatically all the security updates in the background
 There are no updates available right now
 I'll wait and see what happens in the next days :)
[16:40] <BluesKaj> ok
 thanks
[16:48] <BluesKaj> Franzpow, an alternative to the command I posted is, sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade
 ok thanks
 I will try that
[17:46] <perr-paranoic> Hi, my touchpad doesn't work anymore, can you help me?
[17:55] <BluesKaj> perr-paranoic, check system-settings>hardware>input devices>touchpad
[17:59] <perr-paranoic> BluesKaj: It's all ok there I think....
[18:37] <IrcsomeBot1> ap_chan was added by: ap_chan
 Someone can help perr-paranoic please? Here I am! 😂😭 My tochpad doesn't work anymore...
[18:40] <diogenes_> ap_chan, what you expect, it's still holiday, nothing is working.
 Right! 😂
[19:01] <jhutchins> On 18.02 when I change a system setting (auto-login) it prompts me for a password.  What password does it want?  It doesn't seem to accept current user or root.
 @jhutchins, did you by any chance encrypt your partition?
 After proposed-updates it works! See you soon! Good Year!
 Hey guys! Happy new year! Which is your favorite program to make a bunch of photos into one pdf?
[20:00] <OerHeks> jhutchins, explain current user or root.
[20:58] <jhutchins> OerHeks: The password for the user logged in to the current session or the password for the root account.  I did not try the password for the user I wanted to auto-login.  I ended up creating an sddm.conf file in /etc/
[20:59] <jhutchins> Still, I'd like to understand what the system is looking for.
[21:46] <Dragnslcr>  jhutchins- normally it's your user password, assuming that the user you're logged in as has administrator privileges
[21:47] <Dragnslcr> I just tried changing the auto-login setting, and it asked for my password twice
[21:51] <jhutchins> Dragnslcr: Did it save your changes?
[21:51] <Dragnslcr> It looked like it
[21:58] <qih> Is there any advisory on HDMI Audio being disabled by default on Ubuntu* 19.10?
[22:02]  * qih googles
[22:12] <user|45355> good day everyone i am having a problem right know
[22:12] <user|45355> i have kubuntu 18.10 cosmic cuttlefish
[22:12] <user|45355> but for some reason cannot do an upgrade from discovery
[22:12] <user|45355> or from konsol
[22:13] <user|45355> the error i get is the following
[22:13] <user|45355> The repository 'cdrom://Kubuntu 18.10 _Cosmic Cuttlefish_ - Release amd64 (20181017.2) cosmic Release' does not have a Release file.
[22:14] <qih> user|45355: Are you trying to update your system using the CDROM?
[22:14] <user|45355> no
[22:15] <user|45355> i was trying to use the Discovery app
[22:15] <user|45355> then switched to Konsole
[22:15] <user|45355> but on both i get the same error
[22:15] <qih> OK, then it looks like you need to edit out the line in your /etc/apt/sources.list that refers to the CDROM.
[22:16] <qih> Are you able to edit files on your system using the command line?
[22:16] <user|45355> i believe so, i am new to linux
[22:17] <qih> OK, follow these steps exactly, type in a command if I write it inside '' ... make sense?
[22:17] <qih> So if I type 'nano newfile.txt', I mean for you to type nano newfile.txt in your Terminal. OK?
[22:18] <user|45355> ok}
[22:18] <qih> Right
[22:19] <qih> 'sudo nano cp -v /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak'
[22:19] <qih> This will make a simple backup of your ../sources.list <= which has your package repositories in it
[22:20] <user|45355> ok
[22:20] <qih> Done?
[22:21] <user|45355> done
[22:21] <qih> K
[22:21] <qih> 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list'
[22:21] <qih> This will open the file, tell me when doen
[22:21] <qih> s/doen/done
[22:22] <user|45355> done
[22:22] <user|45355> i see the file content in the console
[22:23] <qih> OK, go to the top line where it mentions CDROM, see it?
[22:24] <user|45355> i see it, the first line
[22:24] <qih> K, mine is "#deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 19.10 _Eoan Ermine_ - Release amd64 (20191017)]/ eoan main multiverse restricted universe"
[22:24] <user|45355> mine is
[22:24] <user|45355> deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 18.10 _Cosmic Cuttlefish_ - Release amd64 (20181017.2)]/ cosmic main multiverse restricted$
[22:24] <qih> See how mine has the # symbol, your's needs that.
[22:25] <user|45355> ok, let me type that in
[22:25] <user|45355> done
[22:25] <qih> So you add in the # symbol at the front of that line. # is used as a comment so it tells the shell interpreter to IGNORE that line.
[22:26] <qih> OK, now save & exit that file, using the key combo of Ctrl & o
[22:26] <user|45355> done
[22:27] <qih> OK now exit the file, using key combo Ctrl & x
[22:29] <user|45355> i no longer see the error
[22:29] <qih> OK excellent, that happens sometimes, after the initial install the ../sources.list does not get modified to # deb cdrom ...
[22:30] <user|45355> got it
[22:30] <user|45355> i will keep that in mind next time
[22:30] <user|45355> thank you very much for the help
[22:30] <qih> So now you know how to open, edit and close the /etc/apt/sources.list file, update using the Command Line, make a backup and use Nano 8-)
[22:30] <qih> No worries, anytime
[22:31] <user|45355> yeah i will have to learn more about the konsole
[22:31] <qih> For future reference if you EVERwant to mess around with a system file, anything in the /etc or /usr directories, *make a backup first* 8-)
[22:32] <user|45355> got it, thanks again for all the help
[22:32] <qih> 'sudo cp -v /your/file/name /your/file/name.bak
[22:32] <qih> OK enjoy!
[22:34] <qih> Gawd I hope he did not 'rm -rf /' o_0 ... a little knowledge can sometimes be a dangerous thing 8-)
[22:42] <qih> Is there a meta-package of system development tools? Like 'make bison flex build-essential etc'?
[22:46] <OerHeks> build essentials is such meta package
[22:48] <qih> Ah right, well I went with 'make flex bison build-essentials' anyway, thanks
[22:58] <konrados> Hi and a happy new year! I have ubuntu on my main system disk, I want to install a new version of ubuntu on a second drive, which I just bought for this one reason. But... right now I do now have any pendrives available. I found this - https://askubuntu.com/questions/484434/install-ubuntu-without-cd-and-usb-how but - ... it seems overcomplicated(?) - really isn't there a simple way?
[22:59] <konrados> 25 steps? o.O
[22:59] <konrados> I mean, actually kubuntu or ubuntu+kde, whatever
[23:03] <konrados> Or maybe I should ask on #ubuntu and then add kde?
[23:09] <qih> If you are considering using KDE, then just install Kubuntu, it'll be a far more integrated and tested install. Sure you can chop and change but it gets so ... ugly 8-)
[23:11] <qih> Yep, that link is complicated, I'd not bother unless you were *very* competent *and* were prepared to fuxor things up on the first /part
[23:11] <qih> Go buy a USB drive, and save yourself a *huge* amount of hassle, my $0.02!
[23:12] <konrados> qih, yeah, but we have Christmas time, I've been waiting for my pendrive for ... two weeks :)
[23:13] <konrados> but thanks, this is what I'll do
[23:14] <qih> 8-)
