[01:10] <abir_> hello
 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?
 sudo software-properties-qt
 nm, you asking about a mirror...
[02:46] <IrcsomeBot1> Ankush Gandhi was added by: Ankush Gandhi
[02:47] <genii> au.archive.ubuntu.com seems to exist
[02:48] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> Hey i want to backup my os with my settings and installed apps how can i do it
[02:49] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> I am new to linux
 geni, that mirror has neither 20.04 nor kubuntu that I could find...
[02:52] <oerheks> standard there is kbackup
 @Linuxophil, I was going to recommend a bit torrent as an alternative but I am unable to find 20.04 for Kubuntu...
 Yeah.
[02:55] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @Ankush Gandhi, Anyone ??
 @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.
 @Ankush Gandhi, Hi Ankush! Which OS do you use?
[02:56] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Kubuntu
 @Ankush Gandhi, The best in my opinion is clonezilla!
 Best program to backup whole partitions/OSs.
[02:57] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Does It will backup my setting and app also??
 @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.
 there are some good youtube tutorials around.
[03:00] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Ohk i'll watch thanks for the help ☺️
 If you just need to preserve the list of manually installed apps, use this command to list: apt-mark showmanual
[03:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Yes!!
[03:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> Anything for settings and customisation
 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/share
[03:06] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Thanks a lot brother 😁
 😃
[03:10] <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 laptop
 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....
[03:14] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Ohk i'll try this very soon
 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....
[03:16] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @DarinMiller, Ohk thank again
 @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.html
 Oh, no I had not heard of the beta delay... good to know...
 @Ankush Gandhi, My pleasure entirely! Have fun with Kubuntu and always come back if you have a question!
 Hey all
[04:40] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> @Linuxophil, Sure
[06:13] <lordievader> Good morning
 guys i think linux isnt for me🤦🏿‍♂️😂
 coz i use local servers like Xampp
 but i think wind better than linux
 😂
[06:21] <lordievader> Those can also run on Linux. Even better, Lamp stacks are quite common.
[09:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> I want to use a gesture swipe down with 3 finger for desktop (ctrl+f12)
[09:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Ankush Gandhi> I tried libinput gestures

[13:51] <tugapower> could be missing something ?
[13:58] <Geana_needs_help> Hello there
[13:59] <Geana_needs_help> I need help with Kubuntu 19.10 installed on a Samsung laptop. I cannot find the wifi network that is used in my hostel but I am able to connect to the hotspot on my phone. Need help with this
[14:03] <tugapower> interesting, further info, if press add widgets on my main display nothing happens, but if press add widgets on my second monitor, the option appear on my main monitor, wtf
[14:05] <user|14696> Hi
[14:06] <user|14696> I5 4th gen is enough ?
[14:07] <Geana_needs_help> my phone connects seamlessly to the hostel wifi but my laptop cannot even detect it on the kubuntu 19.10. I am new to Linux - could somebody help me/walk me through it?
[18:08] <user|25954> Hey Genii are you busy
[18:09] <genii> user|25954: Mostly
[18:10] <genii> If you can give a description of your issue, I can try to assist ( or others may) ...just don't expect timely responses :)
 Sup
[18:16] <user|25954> yesterday I looked for you at the time you indicated but you did not answer me
[18:18] <user|25954> Ok I simply cannot enter the graphical interface of kubuntu, a terminal appears to me and I cannot access
[18:21] <user|25954> The 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 sound
[18:23] <genii> I seem to remember something about this
[18:24] <user|25954> And the last time I asked you, what commands can I enter in order to enter the graphical interface
[18:26] <genii> Ah 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 working
 Hi
 I'm a Neon user
[18:27] <genii> user|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 purged
 I have a problem with a parameter
 Translucidity in settings doesn't work anymore
 Fwd from Alang59: Can someone help me with that ? https://pastebin.com/ijzjPRjt
[18:31] <genii> user|25954: Which Kubuntu version is this?
 @genii, This is the last version of KDE Neon. Ubuntu 18.04 based.
[18:34] <user|25954> 18-04 LTS
[18:36] <user|25954> Kernel 5.3.0-42    guess
[18:37] <genii> user|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|25954> Ok
[18:40] <user|25954> I need to get out of here to enter the damaged system
[18:41] <user|25954> I will connect here with my cell phone
[18:52] <user|94152> genii with ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[18:53] <user|94152> Appears me a so large list of repositories installed that I cant copy to my cellphone
[18:54] <genii> user|94152: Can the affected machine still access the internet? If  so we can do it from there by commandline.
[18:55] <genii> user|94152: If you issue: ping -c 5 8.8.8.8         ...does it get a response back from Google's DNS server?
[18:57] <user|94152> I can connect the machine to internet with sudo ifconfig
[18:59] <genii> user|94152: After the machine is properly connected, make sure the package called pastebinit is installed with: sudo apt install pastebinit
[18:59] <user|94152> Ok
[18:59] <genii> ..it may say it is installed already. This is just to make sure it is.
[19:00] <user|94152> Ok
[19:02] <genii> user|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 machine
[19:03] <user|94152> Ok
[19:12] <user|97502> Hi
[19:13] <user|97502> I5 4th gen can be enough for Kubuntu?
[19:14] <user|97502> with ssd
[19:14] <user|97502> ?
[19:21] <user|94152> genii http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6JhzqVJ2sT/
[19:27] <genii> user|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)
[19:28] <user|94152> Ok
[19:32] <user|86904> genni line numerdont appears
[19:32] <user|86904> genii line number dont appears
[19:33] <genii> user|86904: Change the line which reads: # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner    into: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner
[19:38] <user|86904> Done I uncomment this line
[19:39] <user|86904> I update now?
[19:40] <genii> user|86904: Not yet :)    Next please issue the command: for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit
[19:40] <genii> ..and give again the URL it tells you
[19:40]  * genii wanders back to work again for 5-10 minutes
[19:45] <user|86904> I put
[19:46] <user|86904> I write: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit
[19:47] <user|86904> And return illegal command line name
[19:47] <genii> user|86904:    for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;do echo "$x"; cat "$x"; echo; done |pastebinit
[19:47] <user|86904> On /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[19:47] <genii> It looks like you omitted the "for x in" part
[19:48] <user|86904> I wrtite: for x in
[19:51] <genii> user|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.
[19:52] <genii> user|86904: So first, to type:  for x in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*;
[19:52] <genii> user|86904: Then: do echo "$x";
[19:52] <genii> user|86904: Then: cat "$x";
[19:52] <genii> user|86904: Then: echo ;
[19:53] <genii> user|86904: Then: done | pastebinit
[19:53] <genii> ..hitting the Enter or Return after each line
[20:03] <user|86904> Done but the cursor just blink
[20:03] <user|86904> Returns nothing
[20:04] <genii> Is it still sitting with > or did it return now to normal prompt?
[20:07] <user|86904> No return to normal prompt.
[20:08] <genii> Hit Enter key again
[20:16] <user|63406> genii I cannot send photos in this chat via cell phone
[20:17] <user|63406> the cursor only blinks in the same place
[20:17] <user|63406> I can't send the screenshot here either
[20:18] <genii> Hit Enter key again
[20:19] <genii> If 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 out
[20:19] <user|63406> I press the enter key like 3 times and nothing
[20:19] <genii> Is the >  still on the left, or just cursor
[20:21] <user|63406> I cant send screenshots appears me that
[20:21] <user|63406> App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit.
[20:22] <user|63406> > does not appear
[20:23] <genii> So in this case, if no > keep waiting for a few minutes longer. There may be many PPAs in the directory
[20:23] <user|63406> when I type the first command and hit enter, the start of the cursor just goes ahead several spaces
[20:23] <genii> Yes, that's normal
[20:24] <genii> It should either: finish successfully and return to a normal prompt   or: eventually give an error which may tell us why so long
[20:25] <user|63406> 125/5000
[20:25] <user|63406> I 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] <genii> nano does not number the lines normally. When you put things to a pastebin, the pastebin website does do this for you
[20:27] <user|63406> I do not see the numbers of lines, I have seen that this terminal interface does not have as many functions as others
[20:27] <genii> To make nano show numbering, when it is open you can use CTRL nd C together to toggle this feature
[20:28] <user|63406> ok
[20:29] <user|63406> log in with the computer here to send screenshot but I can not appear
[20:29] <user|63406> App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit.
[20:29] <genii> And then at the bottom middle it will tell you what line in the file the cursor is currently on
[20:30] <genii> user|63406: This "App: AisMDMMInTAOji478kuNxz exceeds the limit" is not useful
[20:31] <genii> This seems to be some message from the operating system of your phone
[20:33] <user|63406> Ok this is the screenshot
[20:33] <user|63406> https://imgur.com/MkDKY1B
[20:35] <genii> The issue seems to be that you were not actually at a command promp when you typed this in
[20:36] <genii> The yellow and blue at top left seems to indicate you are in some editor or other program
[20:37] <user|63406> Yes I am, I only have fish installed with the budspencer theme
[20:37] <user|63406> i need to change to bash
[20:37] <genii> The commands I have given assume default shell
[20:38] <user|63406> fish appears that way because the terminal cannot use powerfonts. I guess
[20:40] <user|63406> Yes, 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 fish
[20:45] <user|63406> genii I'll try with bash
 How can i configure page on the task bar to be smaller the windows are quite large
[21:02] <user|43721> genii I was able to run the command in bash
[21:02] <user|43721> With bash appears me >
[21:02] <user|43721> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pTJRDCdHjV/
[21:03] <user|43721> But before to the pastebin link appears me
[21:05] <user|43721> 'etc/apt/sources.list.d/*' : dont exist the file or directory
[21:05] <genii> The contents of the pastebin indicate there were no exterior repositories installed. So that is fine.
 Fwd from Hu4n666: http://www.deezer.com/track/713632012
[21:08] <user|43721> Ok
[21:09] <genii> user|43721: Now to add the repository containing the latest Nvidia drivers, with command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
[21:10] <user|43721> Ok
[21:10] <user|43721> I do that in the past
[21:10] <user|43721> But I'll do it again
[21:11] <genii> user|43721: Next is: sudo apt-get update
[21:12] <genii> user|43721: Next is: sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-440
[21:12] <user|43721> Ok
[21:14] <genii> user|43721: Did it finish installing the driver yet?
[21:14] <user|43721> Nop
[21:14] <user|43721> Returns that
[21:15] <genii> user|43721: OK. Let me know when it does. Next will be the commands to make sure the nouveau driver will not get loaded
[21:15] <user|43721> Thebsystem cant find the file
[21:15] <user|43721> nvidia-graphics-drivers-440
[21:16] <genii> user|43721: Did you make sure to issue the command: sudo apt-get update    ...first?
[21:16] <oerheks> sudo ubuntu-drivers list  ## or go wild; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[21:16] <user|43721> Ok
[21:18] <user|43721> Returns that
[21:20] <genii> Actually, nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 would be the filename in the repository. The package will be named most likely xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-440
[21:20] <user|43721> nvidia-driver-440 are installed in the newest version (440.64-ubuntu0~0.18.04.2)
[21:21] <user|43721> Return that. Nvidia driver are installed
[21:22] <genii> user|43721: OK. Next, to blacklist the nouveau driver. For this: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
[21:22] <user|43721> Ok
[21:22] <genii> user|43721: And type there two lines. First line: blacklist nouveau
[21:22] <genii> user|43721: Second line: options nouveau modeset=0
[21:23] <genii> user|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 nano
[21:28] <genii> user|43721: Did this part go ok so far?
[21:29] <user|43721> Done
[21:29] <user|43721> File /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf was empty
[21:30] <user|43721> But now have w lines
[21:30] <genii> user|43721: Yes, that file should have been created by nano.
[21:30] <user|43721> Done
[21:30] <genii> ( if it did not exist previously )
[21:30] <user|43721> Ok
[21:31] <user|43721> 2 Lines was added
[21:31] <genii> user|43721: Next, to make sure the login manager is installed. So to issue: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm
[21:31] <user|43721> Ok
[21:32] <genii> The --reinstall part is so that if it is already installed, it will just make sure it gets new config files
[21:32] <user|43721> Returns
[21:33] <genii> user|43721: The system did not go from there to the login screen, but returned to a prompt?
[21:34] <user|43721> Dont have sense the option order line《r》[of reinstall] combo with another options
[21:35] <genii> ?
[21:36] <user|43721> Done
[21:36] <user|43721> sddm are installed
[21:36] <user|43721> I justbremove the option reinstall
[21:36] <user|43721> sddm was not installed
[21:37] <valorie> ooo
[21:37] <genii> user|43721: This is odd.
[21:38] <valorie> genii: I had that happen to me in one hosed-up upgrade long ago
[21:38] <user|43721> Odd what means odd. Englishbin not my mother language lol
[21:38] <genii> user|43721: odd means unusual
[21:38] <user|43721> Ok lol
[21:39] <genii> user|43721: Well, now it is time to boot the machine from power off state. So from commandline: sudo shutdown -h now
[21:39] <user|43721> Ok
[21:39] <genii> user|43721: After it turns itself off, wait a minute and then press the power switch to power it back on
[21:40] <genii> ..and then we will see what it does now
[21:41] <user|43721> Ok
[21:43] <genii> user|43721: Please let us know what happens
[21:43] <user|43721> EUREKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[21:43] <user|43721> hahaaaaaaaaa
[21:44] <genii> ..well, that sounds hopeful :)
[21:44] <user|43721> The problem was sddm
[21:44] <user|43721> Was not installed
[21:45] <genii> user|43721: Are you able to successfully login to the desktop now?
[21:45] <user|43721> Yeahhh thank you so much genii
[21:46] <user|43721> Really u re a genii
[21:46] <genii> user|43721: Glad to be of assistance :)
[21:48] <genii> user|43721: Did you check yet to see if your previous issue with sound is still there?
[21:49] <genii> ...too late, heh
[22:13] <user|17214> Hey genii Im sorry my internet signal is now terrible
[22:15] <user|17214> I want to thank you again and I would like to know how I can be reciprocal with the valuable help you have given me
[22:15] <user|17214> I would like to invite you a huge barrel of beer but I think you cannot
 mmmmm.... beeer.....
[22:24] <genii> user|17214: Is the sound working properly now? I recall there was some issue with that you mentioned
[22:26] <user|17214> good question, I have not tried lol
[22:28] <user|17214> no the sound doesn't work
[22:31] <genii> user|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 though
[22:32] <genii> ( which is a program which runs at commandline )
[22:35] <genii> Hm, kmix looks like it might be able to do this
[22:35] <user|17214> nvidia this is the screenshot
[22:35] <user|17214> https://imgur.com/GHz4c3h
[22:37] <user|17214> should i install kmix??
[22:38] <genii> user|17214: I am tinkering with kmix now, it looks useful whether or not it helps with your general issue
 @Ankush Gandhi, I think partition manager might be the closest to showing that information, but it's definitely not a file manager...
 maybe Nemo?
[22:39] <genii> @Ankush Gandhi ... Dolphon shows the free space on bottom right

[22:46] <leaftype> are there any unity-hud like things in kubuntu? It's still the biggest thing I miss from old unity
[22:46] <user|17214> genii, installed a new kernel and a new libsound in several updates, I must restart, maybe with these new updates the problem is solved
[22:46] <user|17214> I'll back
[22:48] <genii> leaftype: ALT-F2 ?
[22:49] <genii> ( Krunner)
[22:49] <leaftype> genii: how is that at all like the hud...
[22:49] <leaftype> alt-f2 is command prompt... isn't it?
[22:50] <genii> leaftype: No, it brings up KRunner, where you type stuff in and it tries to understand what you are looking for
[22:50] <leaftype> ah
[22:51] <leaftype> in there a way to make it include the menus of the app you're working in?
[22:51] <genii> leaftype: I'm not sure, I don't really use it extensively
[22:51] <leaftype> if 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 anything
[22:54] <genii> leaftype: FF has it's own shortcut for that anyhow, CTRL+S
[22:57] <user|74267> genii with new kernel and libsound updates the sound is back
[22:57] <genii> user|74267: Yay!
[22:57] <user|74267> yeahhhhhhhhhhh thank you
[22:57] <genii> The update is appreciated
[22:57] <user|74267> I 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?
[22:58] <genii> That sounds like some OSD feature ( On Screen Display )
[22:58] <user|74267> yeah
[22:58] <user|74267> how do i activate or reinstall?
 @leaftype, Do you mean something like this: http://fasterland.net/activate-global-menu-kde-plasma-5-9.html
[23:01] <user|74267> now that i realize the volume keys are not responding
[23:02] <genii> user|74267: If these volume keys are special dedicated ones on your keyboard they may need to be mapped to this function
[23:02] <leaftype> IrcsomeBot: well that's neat
[23:03] <genii> @DarinMiller ah, nice
[23:03] <user|74267> are the normal volume keys.
[23:04] <leaftype> wait... that's just global menus... no that's not what I mean
[23:04] <genii> user|74267: Where are these "normal volume keys" located?
[23:04] <leaftype> searchable menus is what I mean, so I don't have to look for what I need among dozens of options
[23:06] <leaftype> I used to use it a lot in Gimp when looking for different things - Ubuntu mate has a version built in as well
[23:07] <user|74267> in 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 icon
[23:09] <genii> user|74267: The normal one is just a widget called Audio Volume
[23:12] <user|74267> I have a Rii X8 keyboard and on that keyboard there are two keys exclusively for sound
[23:13] <user|74267> now this program is installed https://imgur.com/MLD66cO
[23:13] <user|74267> Pulseaudio systemtary
[23:13] <genii> I'm not familiar with that one
 @leaftype, Oh yes the menu search.... I don't think that was ever implemented in KDE. But I really like that idea.
[23:14] <user|74267> I wonder if the program I uninstalled was kmix
[23:15] <user|74267> the icon of a horn in the system tray is the one that handles kmix?
[23:18] <user|74267> indeed, I had uninstalled kmix
[23:19] <user|74267> now since kmix is installed, the icon appears and the volume keys are already used
[23:20] <user|74267> Hey genii thank you so much
[23:20] <user|74267> Now everything works normally, I think lol
[23:20] <genii> Hopefully!
[23:21] <genii> I was trying to get a screen grab of the widgets but it looks like printscreen doesn't like that...
[23:21] <genii> ( to show the standard sound widget which is normally installed by default)
[23:22] <user|74267> I 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 keys
[23:22] <genii> It and kmix have the same icon on the bar
[23:23] <user|74267> the horn icon in the system tray is the one that handles kmix, from what I see
[23:25] <genii> I have both installed, and they have the same icons
[23:25] <genii> But getting an image of this is proving problemmatic unless I just photograph it with my phone
[23:26] <genii> hangon
[23:29] <genii> user|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/4BIgDLW
[23:32] <user|74267> I was referring to the system tray icon that points to the red arrow, it is the one that manages kmix from what I see

[23:32] <salapin> hi
[23:32] <genii> user|74267: 5 spots above that is also the identical icon ;)
[23:33] <salapin> i just installed kubuntu 18.04 on my computer.
[23:33] <salapin> VLC is not able to play the files hosted on my NAS, what can it be?
[23:34] <user|74267> And 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 keys
[23:34] <user|74267> https://imgur.com/KsrRn7H
[23:35] <genii> Yes, that is the standard notifier
[23:35] <user|74267> all this is provided by kmix and so far I find out by installing it again
[23:36] <genii> user|74267: What does the other speaker icon at the top of your bar do ?
[23:37] <user|74267> thanks again genii, of not being able to enter and after being all mute, everything returned to normal
[23:37] <genii> ( I'm thinking it's that Alsamixer widget you just installed )
[23:38] <genii> user|74267: The main thing is that everything is working now
[23:40] <user|74267> Well, 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.
[23:41] <user|74267> everything went from bad to worse
[23:41] <genii> salapin: 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 commandline
[23:42] <salapin> genii, so can you guide me to know what to do please
[23:42] <salapin> ¿?
[23:42] <user|74267> and go to the software center and install all the drivers you found from pulseaudio.
[23:43] <user|74267> none corrected the problem, until now you install kmix
[23:43] <genii> salapin: At this time I am too tired to tackle this issue. But there may be other helpers here who can help sort it out
[23:44] <salapin> ok genii resting then
[23:45] <genii> salapin: 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 installed
[23:46] <genii> ..but a complete walkthrough with you of these issues for me tonight is not possible, sorry
[23:46] <user|74267> the top horn shaped icon is kmix and the other bottom horn shaped icon is pulseudio system tray
[23:46] <genii> user|74267: Yes, I suspected something like this
[23:47] <user|74267> lol
[23:47] <user|74267> I hope something bad happens to me on reboot lol
[23:48] <genii> hah
[23:48] <genii> something/nothing
[23:48] <user|74267> thank you very much again genii, I don't know how to thank you, maybe you can tell me how
[23:50] <genii> user|74267: The main thing is to try and help others who are having problems which you know the solution to, this is the best way
[23:50] <salapin> I 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 player
[23:51] <genii> salapin: What happens now if you click on them from Kubuntu's file manager Dolphin?
[23:52] <salapin> genii, vlc opens but gives error
 @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|74267> Thank you very much, I would like to invite you a barrel of beer but I think it is impossible
[23:54] <genii> user|74267: I have enough beer :) https://imgur.com/a/Ws2v4CD
[23:55] <genii> salapin: The content of the error may be enlightening
[23:55] <user|74267> lol Imnot now
