IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> Hey guys! I am sitting in Australia and my download of focal fossa daily is creeping away with 350KB/s. Are there any Australian mirrors?02:32
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> sudo software-properties-qt02:43
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> nm, you asking about a mirror...02:43
IrcsomeBot1Ankush Gandhi was added by: Ankush Gandhi02:46
geniiau.archive.ubuntu.com seems to exist02:47
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> Hey i want to backup my os with my settings and installed apps how can i do it02:48
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> I am new to linux02:49
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> geni, that mirror has neither 20.04 nor kubuntu that I could find...02:50
oerheksstandard there is kbackup02:52
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> @Linuxophil, I was going to recommend a bit torrent as an alternative but I am unable to find 20.04 for Kubuntu...02:53
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> Yeah.02:54
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @Ankush Gandhi, Anyone ??02:55
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> @DarinMiller, But for whatever reason, after about 50% of the download, the speed jumped to my usual 4MB/s. The general speed of my internet connection was never affected.02:56
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> @Ankush Gandhi, Hi Ankush! Which OS do you use?02:56
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Kubuntu02:56
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> @Ankush Gandhi, The best in my opinion is clonezilla!02:57
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> Best program to backup whole partitions/OSs.02:57
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Does It will backup my setting and app also??02:57
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> @Ankush Gandhi, Yes, have a look at how it works. You boot from a USB drive and then you choose to backup either a partition or a harddrive. Everything on it will be saved.02:59
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> there are some good youtube tutorials around.03:00
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Ohk i'll watch thanks for the help โ˜บ๏ธ03:00
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> If you just need to preserve the list of manually installed apps, use this command to list: apt-mark showmanual03:01
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Yes!!03:04
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> Anything for settings and customisation03:04
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> If you want to retain custom settings for app, turn on hidden files in dolphin and copy the app config folders that you want to preserver.  Some configs may be buried in subfolders such as .config or .local/share03:04
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Thanks a lot brother ๐Ÿ˜03:06
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> ๐Ÿ˜ƒ03:06
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> I have 1 more question?03:10
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> Can i connect display with a dock using thunderbolt 3 port on my laptop03:10
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> Maybe with the latest 5.6 kernel, but kernel install would be a manual process (download 4 files and use dpkg -i to install).  I recommend trying 20.04 using live boot before trying the 5.6 kernel....03:13
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Ohk i'll try this very soon03:14
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> 20.04 only has the 5.4 kernel though, and thunderbolt support just started appearing in the 5.5 kernel if I am not mistaken....03:14
IrcsomeBot1<Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Ohk thank again03:16
IrcsomeBot1<Eickmeyer> @DarinMiller not sure if you got the news, but 20.04 Beta is a bit delayed: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2020-April/040957.html03:28
IrcsomeBot1<DarinMiller> Oh, no I had not heard of the beta delay... good to know...03:30
IrcsomeBot1<Linuxophil> @Ankush Gandhi, My pleasure entirely! Have fun with Kubuntu and always come back if you have a question!04:25

user|25954Hey Genii are you busy18:08
geniiuser|25954: Mostly18:09
geniiIf you can give a description of your issue, I can try to assist ( or others may) ...just don't expect timely responses :)18:10
IrcsomeBot<Swift110> Sup18:12
user|25954yesterday I looked for you at the time you indicated but you did not answer me18:16
user|25954Ok I simply cannot enter the graphical interface of kubuntu, a terminal appears to me and I cannot access18:18
user|25954The above happened because I changed from the nvidia driver to the nouveau driver, and I did the above because in a kernel update my system ran out of sound18:21
geniiI seem to remember something about this18:23
user|25954And the last time I asked you, what commands can I enter in order to enter the graphical interface18:24
geniiAh right. The problem however, is that it should already be trying to do this by default, so there wouldn't really be any command there which would somehow suddenly start working18:26
IrcsomeBotAlang59 was added by: Alang5918:27
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> Hi18:27
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> I'm a Neon user18:27
geniiuser|25954: The procedure to follow here would be to try and get the proper NVidia driver installed and working, and make sure the nouveau driver is purged18:27
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> I have a problem with a parameter18:28
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> Translucidity in settings doesn't work anymore18:28
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> Fwd from Alang59: Can someone help me with that ? https://pastebin.com/ijzjPRjt18:28
=== MANIAC is now known as Guest14146
geniiuser|25954: Which Kubuntu version is this?18:31
IrcsomeBot<Alang59> @genii, This is the last version of KDE Neon. Ubuntu 18.04 based.18:32
user|2595418-04 LTS18:34
user|25954Kernel 5.3.0-42    guess18:36
geniiuser|25954: So please use a pastebin to put the results of command: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*    ... and command: cat /etc/apt/sources.list   ...and give the URL here. If there are files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/   the contents of those files also may be useful to put in the same pastebin.18:37
user|25954Ok18:37
user|25954I need to get out of here to enter the damaged system18:40
user|25954I will connect here with my cell phone18:41
user|94152genii with ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*18:52
user|94152Appears me a so large list of repositories installed that I cant copy to my cellphone18:53
geniiuser|94152: Can the affected machine still access the internet? If  so we can do it from there by commandline.18:54
geniiuser|94152: If you issue: ping -c 5 8.8.8.8         ...does it get a response back from Google's DNS server?18:55
user|94152I can connect the machine to internet with sudo ifconfig18:57
geniiuser|94152: After the machine is properly connected, make sure the package called pastebinit is installed with: sudo apt install pastebinit18:59
user|94152Ok18:59
genii..it may say it is installed already. This is just to make sure it is.18:59
user|94152Ok19:00
geniiuser|94152: So next: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list    ...and then please give the URL it returns to you, being careful to type it exactly as it appears on the machine19:02
user|94152Ok19:03
user|97502Hi19:12
user|97502I5 4th gen can be enough for Kubuntu?19:13
user|97502with ssd19:14
user|97502?19:14
user|94152genii http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6JhzqVJ2sT/19:21
geniiuser|94152: Thanks. You should issue: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list    ...and then remove the hashmarks ( the # symbol) from in front of line 43, then press CTRL and X keys together. It will ask about saving the file, just hit the Enter ( or Return key depending on how your keyboard is labeled)19:27
user|94152Ok19:28
user|86904genni line numerdont appears19:32
user|86904genii line number dont appears19:32
geniiuser|86904: Change the line which reads: # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner    into: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner19:33
user|86904Done I uncomment this line19:38
user|86904I update now?19:39
geniiuser|86904: Not yet :)    Next please issue the command: for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit19:40
genii..and give again the URL it tells you19:40
* genii wanders back to work again for 5-10 minutes19:40
user|86904I put19:45
user|86904I write: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit19:46
user|86904And return illegal command line name19:47
geniiuser|86904:    for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit19:47
user|86904On /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*19:47
geniiIt looks like you omitted the "for x in" part19:47
user|86904I wrtite: for x in19:48
geniiuser|86904: Let us do it one line at a time then. After the the first line the command prompt will change to this symbol: >       ...and then you type in each command and hit enter.19:51
geniiuser|86904: So first, to type:  for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;19:52
geniiuser|86904: Then: do echo "$x";19:52
geniiuser|86904: Then: cat "$x";19:52
geniiuser|86904: Then: echo ;19:52
geniiuser|86904: Then: done | pastebinit19:53
genii..hitting the Enter or Return after each line19:53
user|86904Done but the cursor just blink20:03
user|86904Returns nothing20:03
geniiIs it still sitting with > or did it return now to normal prompt?20:04
user|86904No return to normal prompt.20:07
geniiHit Enter key again20:08
user|63406genii I cannot send photos in this chat via cell phone20:16
user|63406the cursor only blinks in the same place20:17
user|63406I can't send the screenshot here either20:17
geniiHit Enter key again20:18
geniiIf this happened on the last command, it may have lost connection to the internet and is waiting for pastebinit to either successfully finish, or time out20:19
user|63406I press the enter key like 3 times and nothing20:19
geniiIs the >  still on the left, or just cursor20:19
user|63406I cant send screenshots appears me that20:21
user|63406App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit.20:21
user|63406> does not appear20:22
geniiSo in this case, if no > keep waiting for a few minutes longer. There may be many PPAs in the directory20:23
user|63406when I type the first command and hit enter, the start of the cursor just goes ahead several spaces20:23
geniiYes, that's normal20:23
geniiIt should either: finish successfully and return to a normal prompt   or: eventually give an error which may tell us why so long20:24
user|63406125/500020:25
user|63406I think it does not appear through the terminal interface, the numbers of lines in nano do not appear and some other things do not appear.20:25
geniinano does not number the lines normally. When you put things to a pastebin, the pastebin website does do this for you20:25
user|63406I do not see the numbers of lines, I have seen that this terminal interface does not have as many functions as others20:27
geniiTo make nano show numbering, when it is open you can use CTRL nd C together to toggle this feature20:27
user|63406ok20:28
user|63406log in with the computer here to send screenshot but I can not appear20:29
user|63406App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit.20:29
geniiAnd then at the bottom middle it will tell you what line in the file the cursor is currently on20:29
geniiuser|63406: This "App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit" is not useful20:30
geniiThis seems to be some message from the operating system of your phone20:31
user|63406Ok this is the screenshot20:33
user|63406https://imgur.com/MkDKY1B20:33
geniiThe issue seems to be that you were not actually at a command promp when you typed this in20:35
geniiThe yellow and blue at top left seems to indicate you are in some editor or other program20:36
user|63406Yes I am, I only have fish installed with the budspencer theme20:37
user|63406i need to change to bash20:37
geniiThe commands I have given assume default shell20:37
user|63406fish appears that way because the terminal cannot use powerfonts. I guess20:38
user|63406Yes, in this case they assume fish, that's why I was asking if I should change to bash, I have noticed that some bash commands do not work in fish20:40
user|63406genii I'll try with bash20:45
IrcsomeBot<Barika> How can i configure page on the task bar to be smaller the windows are quite large20:47
user|43721genii I was able to run the command in bash21:02
user|43721With bash appears me >21:02
user|43721http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pTJRDCdHjV/21:02
user|43721But before to the pastebin link appears me21:03
user|43721'etc/apt/sources.list.d/*' : dont exist the file or directory21:05
geniiThe contents of the pastebin indicate there were no exterior repositories installed. So that is fine.21:05

user|43721Ok21:10
user|43721I do that in the past21:10
user|43721But I'll do it again21:10
geniiuser|43721: Next is: sudo apt-get update21:11

geniiuser|43721: Did you make sure to issue the command: sudo apt-get update    ...first?21:16
oerhekssudo ubuntu-drivers list  ## or go wild; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall21:16
user|43721Ok21:16
user|43721Returns that21:18
geniiActually, nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 would be the filename in the repository. The package will be named most likely xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-44021:20
user|43721nvidia-driver-440 are installed in the newest version (440.64-ubuntu0~0.18.04.2)21:20
user|43721Return that. Nvidia driver are installed21:21
geniiuser|43721: OK. Next, to blacklist the nouveau driver. For this: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf21:22
user|43721Ok21:22
geniiuser|43721: And type there two lines. First line: blacklist nouveau21:22
geniiuser|43721: Second line: options nouveau modeset=021:22
geniiuser|43721: After the second line, hit Enter 1 or 2 times. Then Ctrl and X together, and Enter to confirm the name of the file and exit nano21:23
geniiuser|43721: Did this part go ok so far?21:28
user|43721Done21:29
user|43721File /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf was empty21:29
=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life

genii( if it did not exist previously )21:30
user|43721Ok21:30
user|437212 Lines was added21:31
geniiuser|43721: Next, to make sure the login manager is installed. So to issue: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm21:31
user|43721Ok21:31
geniiThe --reinstall part is so that if it is already installed, it will just make sure it gets new config files21:32
user|43721Returns21:32
geniiuser|43721: The system did not go from there to the login screen, but returned to a prompt?21:33

user|43721Odd what means odd. Englishbin not my mother language lol21:38
geniiuser|43721: odd means unusual21:38
user|43721Ok lol21:38
geniiuser|43721: Well, now it is time to boot the machine from power off state. So from commandline: sudo shutdown -h now21:39

user|17214good question, I have not tried lol22:26
user|17214no the sound doesn't work22:28
geniiuser|17214: I'm not overly familiar with troubleshooting audio issues, unfortunately. There does seem to be times when setting it by the alsamixer program is required though22:31

IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @Ankush Gandhi, I think partition manager might be the closest to showing that information, but it's definitely not a file manager...22:39

leaftypeif I'm in firefox and click alt+f2 (or alt-space, same thing?), and I type "save", I don't get an option to save anything22:51
geniileaftype: FF has it's own shortcut for that anyhow, CTRL+S22:54
user|74267genii with new kernel and libsound updates the sound is back22:57
geniiuser|74267: Yay!22:57
user|74267yeahhhhhhhhhhh thank you22:57
geniiThe update is appreciated22:57
user|74267I have a question, every time the volume is increased or decreased, an icon appeared in the middle of the screen that graphically indicated the volume level, that icon no longer appears every time I press the volume up or down. How can I install it again, How do I call it to install it again?22:57
geniiThat sounds like some OSD feature ( On Screen Display )22:58
user|74267yeah22:58
user|74267how do i activate or reinstall?22:58
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @leaftype, Do you mean something like this: http://fasterland.net/activate-global-menu-kde-plasma-5-9.html23:00
user|74267now that i realize the volume keys are not responding23:01
geniiuser|74267: If these volume keys are special dedicated ones on your keyboard they may need to be mapped to this function23:02
leaftypeIrcsomeBot: well that's neat23:02
genii@DarinMiller ah, nice23:03
user|74267are the normal volume keys.23:03
leaftypewait... that's just global menus... no that's not what I mean23:04
geniiuser|74267: Where are these "normal volume keys" located?23:04
leaftypesearchable menus is what I mean, so I don't have to look for what I need among dozens of options23:04
leaftypeI used to use it a lot in Gimp when looking for different things - Ubuntu mate has a version built in as well23:06
user|74267in the system tray an icon appears to configure the volume, when the sound problem happened that icon disappeared and in my confusion I installed another one. I don't know the name of the original program that handles that sound icon23:07
geniiuser|74267: The normal one is just a widget called Audio Volume23:09
user|74267I have a Rii X8 keyboard and on that keyboard there are two keys exclusively for sound23:12
user|74267now this program is installed https://imgur.com/MLD66cO23:13
user|74267Pulseaudio systemtary23:13
geniiI'm not familiar with that one23:13
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @leaftype, Oh yes the menu search.... I don't think that was ever implemented in KDE. But I really like that idea.23:13
user|74267I wonder if the program I uninstalled was kmix23:14
user|74267the icon of a horn in the system tray is the one that handles kmix?23:15
user|74267indeed, I had uninstalled kmix23:18
user|74267now since kmix is installed, the icon appears and the volume keys are already used23:19
user|74267Hey genii thank you so much23:20
user|74267Now everything works normally, I think lol23:20
geniiHopefully!23:20
geniiI was trying to get a screen grab of the widgets but it looks like printscreen doesn't like that...23:21
=== theMetamorphosis is now known as Metamorphosis
genii( to show the standard sound widget which is normally installed by default)23:21
user|74267I did not have kmix installed, I just installed it and now the volume keys already work and the icon appears every time I press the volume keys23:22
geniiIt and kmix have the same icon on the bar23:22
user|74267the horn icon in the system tray is the one that handles kmix, from what I see23:23
geniiI have both installed, and they have the same icons23:25
geniiBut getting an image of this is proving problemmatic unless I just photograph it with my phone23:25
geniihangon23:26
geniiuser|74267: kmix on left, regular standard one on right. And yes, I need to find the Windex and wipe the computer. https://imgur.com/a/4BIgDLW23:29
user|74267I was referring to the system tray icon that points to the red arrow, it is the one that manages kmix from what I see23:32
user|74267https://imgur.com/Hxc4hmJ23:32
salapinhi23:32
geniiuser|74267: 5 spots above that is also the identical icon ;)23:32
salapini just installed kubuntu 18.04 on my computer.23:33
salapinVLC is not able to play the files hosted on my NAS, what can it be?23:33
user|74267And also kmix is what makes the next icon appear in the middle of the screen indicating the intensity of the volume each time the volume keys are pressed. And it also works the volume keys23:34
user|74267https://imgur.com/KsrRn7H23:34
geniiYes, that is the standard notifier23:35
user|74267all this is provided by kmix and so far I find out by installing it again23:35
geniiuser|74267: What does the other speaker icon at the top of your bar do ?23:36
user|74267thanks again genii, of not being able to enter and after being all mute, everything returned to normal23:37
genii( I'm thinking it's that Alsamixer widget you just installed )23:37
geniiuser|74267: The main thing is that everything is working now23:38
user|74267Well, this is going to listen to something crazy, but when the sound left, I reached into pulseaudio, deleted kmix and with it the horn icon, at that time I did not know that this icon handles kmix.23:40
user|74267everything went from bad to worse23:41
geniisalapin: There could be various issues. If your NAS behaves as a Windows SMB share it could it's permissions are not being properly translated, or VLC cannot directly access it without it being mounted some other way first, like in Dolphin or at commandline23:41
salapingenii, so can you guide me to know what to do please23:42
salapinยฟ?23:42
user|74267and go to the software center and install all the drivers you found from pulseaudio.23:42
user|74267none corrected the problem, until now you install kmix23:43
geniisalapin: At this time I am too tired to tackle this issue. But there may be other helpers here who can help sort it out23:43
salapinok genii resting then23:44
geniisalapin: The best I can do right now is suggest some items to examine, like how the files on the NAS are shared and how they are accessed, if they have incompatible permissions with the username which is the default on the computer itself, or if they are fully visible but not playable, it could be the codec required is not available or installed23:45
genii..but a complete walkthrough with you of these issues for me tonight is not possible, sorry23:46
user|74267the top horn shaped icon is kmix and the other bottom horn shaped icon is pulseudio system tray23:46
geniiuser|74267: Yes, I suspected something like this23:46
user|74267lol23:47
user|74267I hope something bad happens to me on reboot lol23:47
geniihah23:48
geniisomething/nothing23:48
user|74267thank you very much again genii, I don't know how to thank you, maybe you can tell me how23:48
geniiuser|74267: The main thing is to try and help others who are having problems which you know the solution to, this is the best way23:50
salapinI just installed kubuntu, I come from ubuntu, in ubuntu I had no problem to play the files with vlc, access them with nautilus and double click on them, they are in the public folder they do not have any kind of permission they are accessible from any player23:50
geniisalapin: What happens now if you click on them from Kubuntu's file manager Dolphin?23:51
salapingenii, vlc opens but gives error23:52
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @salapin, I think you may be encountering the issue mentioned by Martin here: https://pointieststick.com/2018/01/17/videos-on-samba-shares/23:52
user|74267Thank you very much, I would like to invite you a barrel of beer but I think it is impossible23:52
geniiuser|74267: I have enough beer :) https://imgur.com/a/Ws2v4CD23:54
geniisalapin: The content of the error may be enlightening23:55
user|74267lol Imnot now23:55
