IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> Hi guys!04:42
IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> I have just shot myself in the foot!04:42
IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> Figuratively.04:43
IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> I have a Kubuntu 18.04 box. Until today 2 users: User1 and user2. User1 is admin and user2 just a normal user without admin privileges. On cold boot the box would boot into a user2 session automatically. Today I deleted user2 because I no longer needed it. Then reboot and now I get only a Plasma cursor with no desktop. I can switch to tty2 and login as user1 but I do not know where to go from here. Can anyone help me please? I want04:47
IrcsomeBotto get into a plasma session of user1.04:47
IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> Thanks!04:47

tangarora__I thought they were going to fix kio in the latest kde so it would work like Gnome, Windows, Mac... so you can work with large media files on a file share without it insisting on downloading it first...07:32
masonbee-M1<Linuxophil> Can't you manually disable autologin in /etc/sddm.conf?07:45
masonbee-M1<Linuxophil> Just tried here. If I enable autologin it writes my username in sddm.conf under [autologin] so try removing that.07:47

IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> Thanks a lot, masonbee-M1! I will try that!09:28
IrcsomeBot<Linuxophil> @tangarora: the KDE devs tried. The ball is in googles half for the time being.09:59
BluesKajHiyas all10:49
jukebohiHiya BluesKaj and others10:56
mind_sagehello10:57
BluesKajhi jukebohi, mind_sage10:57
mind_sageare you all looking forward to kubuntu 20.04?10:58
BluesKajalready there, but I'm a kubuntu tester so it comes with the territory10:59
jukebohiI'm having a Kubuntu 18.04.4 act up (doing weird shit, bugs appearing out of nowhere) and I'm trying to determine what caused this. The Kubuntu should be a clean install (unless the stick is somehow corrupts), but I worry that a possibly corrupt Windows 10 may be corrupting the Kubuntu. Does malware that will corrupt Linux from Windows when Windows is started exist?10:59
BluesKajnot really jukebohi11:00
BluesKajperhaps more detail about your issues would help11:01
jukebohiFor example one bug was that suddenly the KDE Wallet started asking a password for the default wallet, but no password was ever set.11:02
BluesKajjukebohi, that could be a new upgraded "feature" for kwallet, especially if you haven't specified uasage or not11:03
mind_sageI know what you mean, I had many problems with kubuntu (internal mic not working, dolphin file search not working, no easy out-of-the-box multi-language support), but now I managed to solve most issues and I prefer it over windows... I just hope it doesn't break, or I might switch to vanilla ubuntu (hoping that it's better)...11:03
BluesKajmind_sage, you'll be pleased to hear dolphin file search works well on 20.04 Focal, and most audio issues that I've seen in the past are fixed as well11:08
mind_sageI've been hoping for that!11:09
mind_sageso it's truly an everything-works kind of experience, like windows?11:09
BluesKajdunno about windows, i haven't used it much over the yrs11:11
mind_sageI switched from windows to kubuntu two days ago11:11
mind_sageI don't miss the sluggish performance, but I do miss the ease of use, tbh11:12
BluesKajmind_sage, one thing about Kubuntu, it doesn't insult your intelligence and peoblem solving abilities and it's much more flexible than windows can ever hope to be..11:14
mind_sageI'm all aboard the FOSS philosophy and community-based projects, but I don't hate Windows at all11:16
mind_sagethe thing is, I never had problems with windows, but I decided to drop it because I prefer the ideas behind linux (and the VERY noticeable performance boost)11:16
mind_sageI'm not a technical user eiter, so I'm all for very user-friendly solutions11:17
mind_sageI do agree that it is flexible, even though it doesn't have as much software (but it can do more and perform better with what it has, though)11:19
BluesKajmind_sage, you'll find that most linux users don't hate windows, they just prefer independence and control over their OSs11:19
mind_sage(just my noob thoughts haha)11:19
mind_sagethat I can agree with, such as controlling updates, customisation, and being free to uninstall everything11:19

mind_sageit says13:17
mind_sagePackage plasma-discover is not available, but is referred to by another package.13:17
mind_sageThis may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or13:17
mind_sageis only available from another source13:17
mind_sageHowever the following packages replace it:13:17
mind_sage  plasma-discover-common13:17
mind_sagesorry, the terminal info is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BNwsnFG3fV/13:19
RikMillsmind_sage: plasma-discover package is available in the repos in every supported release, so I would guess your sources have got messed up13:20
mind_sagehow can I repair that?13:20

user|85779Having some issues with my system locking up when compiling java, have to restart.  This happens every time.  kbuntu 19.10 plasma 5.18.315:02
user|85779I watched htop and cpu/memory usage looks fine.  I dont see much in journalctl15:03
user|85779seems more like plasma is slowly locking up, until eventually I can't interact with anything at all15:04
professor_mad_dohi i have one problem i keep getting this error messages https://pasteboard.co/J1ETOOH.png15:42
professor_mad_dohow can i solved that15:42
professor_mad_do??15:42
BluesKajprofessor_mad_do, it asks you to reboot, so do so15:52
professor_mad_doBluesKaj: i did but keep showing up15:53
professor_mad_doBluesKaj: look the output of dmesg15:55
professor_mad_dohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pycwpB22KD/15:55
diogenes_professor_mad_do, If you don't need baloo you can even disable it.15:59
professor_mad_dodiogenes_: how can i disable baloo16:12
professor_mad_do??16:12
diogenes_professor_mad_do, run: ls ~/.config/autostart | nc termbin.com 999916:14
diogenes_share the link16:14
professor_mad_dodiogenes_: there is nothing there to show16:16
diogenes_ls /etc/xdg/autostart | nc termbin.com 999916:17
oerheks"To disable Baloo, open the System Settings application and then in the Workspace Appearance and Behavior section, select Desktop Search. This opens the Configure Desktop Search window."16:18
oerheksUncheck the check box on this page, Enable Desktop Search, apply, done16:18
professor_mad_dodiogenes_: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JssVXFt4j2/16:19
oerheksthere are more services you might want to look at http://www.linux-databook.info/?page_id=372816:19
professor_mad_dooerheks: but what is baloo and what it does to my system16:20
professor_mad_do?16:20
oerheksoh, it is all written there, search and indexing16:20
diogenes_yes you can do what oerheks suggests also you can add Hidden=true in /etc/xdg/autostart/baloo_file.desktop16:21
oerheksif you disable it, it can take longer for a file/app to show up, that is all16:21
professor_mad_dooerheks: ok but it is ok to disable16:22
professor_mad_do?16:22
diogenes_also by disabling it, your CPU will breath more easily.16:22
masonbee-M1Only until the database is built from what i have noticed.16:22
oerheksmasonbee-M1 +116:23
oerheksi would give baloo more diskspace. nobody writes about that16:23
masonbee-M1oerheks: I never thought to do that. I just turn it off until I have the time as install. https://masonbee.nz/baloo-file-index-and-extraction-problems/16:24
professor_mad_doso baloo issue is a common error16:25
professor_mad_do??16:25
oerheks no, just impatients of the user.16:25
rojosup16:26
masonbee-M1The initial database takes a long time to build if you have a lot of stuff or low processing power. After that it works OK although I still run into folder search situations where having kfind installed is a better way to search.16:26
professor_mad_doi also noticed that the errors happend when i upgrade to kernel 5.3.0-4516:28
diogenes_masonbee-M1, doesn't it require a database update each time you copy/modify name/create a new file? just like mlocate?16:33
masonbee-M1diogenes_: Dunno. It's pretty bad at finding things though. I just tried again to check. Searched orange in a folder where there is a text file that is old and has the word in it and nothing. Searched for the name of the text file and still nothing.16:35
diogenes_masonbee-M1, yeah, that's why i prefer find -name ...16:36
masonbee-M1diogenes_: What is -name?16:37
diogenes_msalvatore, find . -iname.16:39
masonbee-M1diogenes_: Oh, you mean with find?16:39
diogenes_sorry masonbee-M1 ^^^16:39
masonbee-M1diogenes_: ok16:39
diogenes_yes find command16:39
masonbee-M1diogenes_: All good. Made me look. :)16:40
diogenes_i don't like file indexers, they only waste resources in vain.16:40
masonbee-M1diogenes_: I quite like the ones that look inside files. A good directory structure does the rest. It's when I am looking for something I vaugely remember maybe only a couple of words in a file. Baloo works fine in the app menu but doesn't seem to work on dolphin on mine.16:43
urbanfbiHi, is it possible to add a static ip adress (in addition to the DHCP address)? And if yes, how is the best way to archive that in Kubuntu? I have some virtual machines and want them to talk to my host. The DHCP address might change, so I would have to change it in the virtual machines as well. I want to prevent that by configuring a fix address, while keeping the DHCP for accessing the internet16:43
masonbee-M1urbanfbi: you can't fix the ip address at the DHCP server? eg; you can usually fix an ip address in your router.16:45
oerheksmacfilter16:45
masonbee-M1urbanfbi: Are you using virtualbox?16:45
urbanfbi@masonbee-M1: I'm using a laptop. The DHCP server changes, depending how where I connect to the internet/network16:46
urbanfbi@masonbee-M1: minikube with kvm16:46
masonbee-M1urbanfbi: Ahhh, no idea then.16:47
urbanfbi@masonbee-M1: thanks anyway :-)16:50
giuseppe_Ciao a tutti16:58
MetamorphosisDiscover is almost unresponsive when I click on a .deb package. It doesn't do anything. Kubuntu 18.04.417:18
professor_mad_doanother issue i have is i can not update the current firmware with fwupd it give me no output17:40
professor_mad_dohere the screenshot17:40
professor_mad_dohttps://pasteboard.co/J1FFTDC.png17:40
oerhekserror is clear, only in UEFI mode17:47
oerheksif you installed this kubuntu in legacy-bios mode, no fix.17:48
professor_mad_dooerheks: sorry im a beginner what is UEFI MODE18:02
professor_mad_do??18:02
oerheksUEFI is the now Bios.18:04
oerheks!uefi18:04
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI18:04
oerhekswithout UEFI mode, there is no way to push updates to a bios or such18:05
professor_mad_dooerheks: so that is a upgrade for the bios18:05
professor_mad_do??18:05
oerheksYes, i think so.,18:06
professor_mad_dooerheks: ok and what do you mean if i install kubuntu in legacy-bios mode18:08
professor_mad_do??18:08
IrcsomeBot<GalantGTR> Hi. … Ist it possible to install the KUbuntu on m2-memory???18:09
oerheksyour bios gives 2 options, to boot the installer, legacy bios ór uefi.18:09
oerheksyou hava chosen not-uefi, most likely18:09
oerheksonly a re-install in UEFi mode fixes this update issue18:10
professor_mad_dooerheks: oh i didnt know about those bios options i just install it by default so in the next install you suggest UEFI mode18:11
professor_mad_do??18:11
oerheksjups18:12
professor_mad_dooerheks: so maybe i have this error18:14
professor_mad_dolook here18:14
professor_mad_dohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Syb5ccXhfW/18:14
professor_mad_dooerheks: do you think those machine error are from the bios options18:16
professor_mad_do??18:16
oerheksmaybe those errors occure, because you have not the latest bios?18:16
oerhekscheck your motherboard vendor manual, howto update18:17
professor_mad_dooerheks: i recenctly update my bios18:19
professor_mad_doi dont think is out of date18:19
