IrcsomeBot1<Zen40> someone can help me how to mount iso file on dolphin??04:49
keithzg-MZen40: I gotta admit, I always just mount ISOs from the terminal. `mount -o loop Downloads/SomeIso.iso /mnt` or whatnot.04:50
keithzg-M(Probably `sudo mount`, but yaknow)04:50
keithzg-MZen40: You could also add a service to provide that, Preferences > Services > Download New Services, I believe there's at least one option there that should provide GUI ISO mounting in Dolphin.04:52
IrcsomeBot1<Zen40> @keithzg-M, its works thanks04:52
keithzg-M:)04:52
Whovian9370Hey friends! Just wanted to mention that I believe the linked Documentation link, http://docs.kubuntu.org/ , links to a default Nginx on Fedora page!05:32
Whovian9370Also to ask if there are any official screenshots of Kubuntu that one could use to possibly try to entice new users? Most of the Ubuntu derivatives seem to have screenshots of what to expect, but somehow I don't believe I can find Kubuntu's05:32
daxlinked from where?05:35
dax(looks like that site used to exist, then got redirected to https://kubuntu.org/support/ , then the redirect went away)05:35
Whovian9370dax, https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu#Documentation05:58
valorieWhovian9370: thanks for reporting that06:26
valorie@ahoneybun ^^^06:26
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> valorie that's beyond my control (at least for that link being there). I can change it to the support page instead I think.06:28
valoriecool06:28
valorieshouldn't it point to our docs though/06:28
valorie?06:28
valoriethe wiki if not your generated docs06:28
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> https://kubuntu.org/support/ links to the generated docs on Github.06:29
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> I don't have access to the main site.06:30
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> I believe yofel does though.06:30
valorieok06:31
valorieperhaps drop him a note giving him the direct link on GH?06:31
valorieuncool to have a dead link06:31
valorieesp. when we have docs!06:32
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> Well the docs site should be created by the Github push though I'm not sure why it's not up.06:32
Whovian9370Happy to help, valorie ! ^_^06:41
valorie:-)06:41
Whovian9370The issue on screenshots still stands though, since I don't think I could find any (outside of a YT video on the main Kubuntu page)06:42
Whovian9370(For the curious, trying to get a family member on an Ubuntu Deriv for the first time, so I was trying to show them screenshots of all the different options)06:42
Whovian9370Anyway that's all, thanks for your time, all! I hope you all have a nice remainder of your day!06:43
IrcsomeBot1<ahoneybun> Whovian9370 : you mean this? https://kubuntu.org/feature-tour/06:52

FordrdnkAnyone awake11:09
tomreyn!ask | Fordrdnk11:19
ubottuFordrdnk: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience11:19
FordrdnkTrying to find a work around.  not using virtualbox to run windows for a program used for work.11:21
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Which program?11:22
FordrdnkIDS  Integrated Vehicle Diagnostics11:22
Fordrdnki've tried with Wine but had a few failures..    Never seems to install just right11:24
tomreynin my (somehwat limited) experience, most of the time, windows-only software runs best on windows (whether or not that runs in a VM)11:26
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> I can't help you.. Did you try to visit wineHQ to see if anyone found workarounds?11:27
Fordrdnkwell i've looked around, however since its kinda developed and ran by FORD..  not many people other than in dealerships use it.11:28
tomreynonce you got windows running in a VM, maybe the folks in ##windows can help you get the software running?11:29
Fordrdnkwent down that VM route... just lagged as hell...11:30
FordrdnkI'm running a surface pro 4  unfortunately   4 gb ram and 128gb hdd11:30
Alabalisticdid you install the suplimentory packeges11:30
Fordrdnkand those are?? didnt hear about those?11:31
Alabalisticyou have 2 one is basicly the drivers, they are guest addition and you can download from virtualbox website11:32
Alabalisticsecond is Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.8.vbox-extpack11:32
Alabalisticthen your windows will run great, you need to add your username in a group11:33
Alabalisticusermod -a -G vboxusers11:33
Alabalisticand you will have usb access11:33
Fordrdnkoh yeah... the extension packs?11:33
Fordrdnki did those...11:34
Fordrdnki think with the ram i have on this surface... its not enough for VM to run as smooth as desired tho11:34
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Maybe you should just want to have dual boot11:35
Alabalisticthe guest addition also, its a iso you mount it like cd11:35
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> No extra pain needed11:35
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> If you have enough space on the surface.. I think that's ok to have windows installed along kubuntu11:35
Fordrdnkcurrently have it dual boot... can't be down with out.. just trying to figure out ways aronnd it11:35
Alabalisticsudo apt install moreRAM11:36
Fordrdnki wish11:36
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Yeah I understand you. That is the last thing you can do. Maybe you will have luck finding workarounds to make him smoother via wine11:36
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Make it*11:37
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Alabalistic: eheh11:37
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Also sudo apt install MoreCPU11:37
FordrdnkLIL... i can't get it to finish proper install with wine11:37
Fordrdnkhard part are its network dependancies for its own commmunication with a vcmII11:39
Alabalisticwhich windows are you using, can you go version lower11:39
Alabalisticand how many ram do you have?11:40
IrcsomeBot1DirhamTriyadi was added by: DirhamTriyadi11:40
FordrdnkFord has stopped support of windows 7 and windows 8 is garbage in my opinion11:40
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> 4gb of RAM11:40
Fordrdnk4gb11:40
Alabalistic4gb is not enough11:43
Fordrdnkyup.. let me grab my soldering gun really quick. lol11:43
Alabalisticis there a way to install win10 like live usb11:45
Alabalisticthis can be a solution, but will be read only I guess11:46
FordrdnkAlabalistic: I have the system Dual Boot windows and kubuntu,   i was trying to conserve the storage and figure out how to do it all in one os11:46
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> You can do it via another pc? Like controlli a remote desktop?11:51
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Controlling*11:51
Fordrdnkwell the system is attached via wifi dongle to a VCM II (Vehicle Communication Module)  this allows for the use of diagnostics of vehicles ie in the shop or test drives... i don't think remote access would be able to use the dependancies of the local system if software is remote11:53
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> I understand.. This means that you can't use the software controlling the pc in remote that is running the program?11:55
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> You are not streaming the program.. You are using the whole desktop via remote11:55
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Maybe it should work.. Or not?11:55
Fordrdnkso if i install it on my desktop at work and use the surface to remote login to desktop i would be using the surface resources to connect to vehicle it would be the desktop and during test drive i'd have to have constant internet connection for11:56
Fordrdnkcorrect?11:56
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Yeah, you must have constant internet connection on11:58
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> But I don't know in terms of performance how it would do the work11:59
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> But I think it's just as using your surface as a "monitor" while the desktop does the work11:59
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> At least I think11:59
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Btw if you can try that, and it works, probably you have solved the problem12:00
FordrdnkFranzpow yes that would be what its doing   and the connection would be broken from desktop to vehicle as soon as i would drive out of the bay12:00
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> I thought you wanted to use the program staying still in one place12:01
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Not moving away from the work place12:01
FordrdnkUsing the program one device all the software one place.12:02
Fordrdnk<Fordrdnk> well the system is attached via wifi dongle to a VCM II (Vehicle Communication Module)  this allows for the use of diagnostics of vehicles ie in the shop or test drives... i don't think remote access would be able to use the dependancies of the local system if software is remote12:02
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Ok so I am not getting it. I am sorry I can't be more helpful.12:06
Fordrdnki would like to try and get the program to work within kubuntu instead of VM Windows                VEHICLE  <-------  VCMII(wifi compatible obd box)  -------->  SURFACE PRO 412:07
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> I understood this. I am not getting why it would not work in remote12:09
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Anyway I can't help you more. Maybe someone more expert than me can help you12:09
FordrdnkYour idea techinically would work as long as a test drive would not be required12:10
IrcsomeBot1<Franzpow> Because with test drive you go away from wifi range? Couldn't you use a 4g connection via hotspot?12:15
Fordrdnkyes but the wifi communication between VCM  and the DESKTOP hosing the wifi would beak too...  unless the remote system could somehow use the Surface pro Resoucres (WIFI NETWORK ETC)12:17

glickhi22:19
glickpardon, is there any way to get the latest versions of software on kubuntu?22:19
glickhi22:25
glickhey, in ubuntu when i do apt install qsampler22:26
glickit says a suggested package is linuxsampler22:26
glickbut apt install linuxsampler says no candidate found22:26
glick?22:31
glickanyone here?22:31
glick282 people in here and no one talking?22:31
jpjacobsglick: that likely means that the package does not exist in the repositories that you have selected (in software sources).22:33
glickjpjacobs: how can apt recommend a package that doesnt exist in its repos?22:33
jpjacobsgood question22:34
DragnslcrBecause recommendations are just a list in the package22:34
DragnslcrWhoever packaged qsampler listed it as a recommended package. It might be a package that used to exist.22:35
DragnslcrThere's an old mailing list thread that says linuxsampler can't be included in Ubuntu's repositories because of licensing issues, but there's a PPA that has it22:39

BolvaronHi, im just changing to kubuntu for gaming, playing mainly blizzard games and 1 other game. Any suggestions if thats a good idea?23:20
glickkubuntu just wants to blow everything away?23:21
glicklol wtf23:21
Bolvaronive installed it parallel atm, to test if thats playable, but i want to get rid of windows 1023:21
glickkubuntu install just blows away the efi parititon?23:25
proctrapBolvaron: depends heavily on your workload23:46
proctrapBolvaron: if you're not playing any cheat protected games and have nothing else on windows it's fine23:47
proctrapBolvaron: but any modern multiplayer FPS game is bad on linux due to anti-cheat detecting your emulation as hack..23:47
Bolvaronim playing World of Warcraft and starcraft 223:47
