| threebar | Why does do-release-upgrade not show 20.04 LTS unless I go for devel versions? | 01:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <dryllmedaddy> it will not work until the next point release on July(?) | 01:21 |
| threebar | https://pastebin.com/CrAidmWg | 01:22 |
| threebar | Anyone? | 01:22 |
| RikMills | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu#Upgrading_from_18.04_or_19.10 | 01:22 |
| RikMills | release-team do not enable upgrades immediately. | 01:24 |
| threebar | Can I force it to upgrade somehow? | 01:24 |
| threebar | Or is it really just "wait until release-team hits the switch"? | 01:25 |
| valorie | from the Discourse thread I just read, it seems they do not intend to do it for 19.10 until 20.04.1 | 01:25 |
| valorie | of course: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 01:25 |
| threebar | Also, what's the reason for this? The doc you sent and the subsequent link do not detial why | 01:25 |
| valorie | as usualy | 01:25 |
| valorie | -y | 01:25 |
| RikMills | valorie: from 19.10, they will likely enable them in a few days | 01:26 |
| valorie | ok, it was not clear on Discourse | 01:26 |
| threebar | So, what's the reason for this? | 01:27 |
| RikMills | threebar: (a) so the infra does not get completely hammered on release day, and (b) so they have a chance for any undiscovered upgrade bugs to show themselves | 01:27 |
| threebar | Ah, cool. I'm a c++/qt coder so I'll be glad to upgrade and help debug if anything goes sideways | 01:28 |
| valorie | cool | 01:28 |
| RikMills | also you don't turn things like that on on a friday, when the people who can fix things are not at work | 01:28 |
| valorie | mine were both flawless | 01:29 |
| threebar | hahah, good point | 01:29 |
| threebar | I used to work for a company that did prod releases on Friday | 01:29 |
| RikMills | noooooooo | 01:29 |
| valorie | that seems unwise | 01:29 |
| threebar | well, until we did a prod release and then went out for drinks and started getting e-mails about the software doing crazy things after everyone was already several drinks in. it was when we decided releases happen Monday morning in our timezone after that. | 01:30 |
| valorie | lol | 01:30 |
| RikMills | I expect the release-team will turn up on monday morning, take stock, check bugs, and decide | 01:30 |
| valorie | "what could possibly go wrong?" | 01:30 |
| threebar | it was actually a cool project. c++/qt software for viewing medical images and simulating surgery | 01:31 |
| threebar | as you can imagine, pissed off surgeons hearing a bunch of drunk people trying to debug their issues on a Friday night was not a pretty sight. lots of angry cursing from our "god complex" surgeon-friends | 01:32 |
| valorie | heh | 01:32 |
| sharmarran | I have tried the sudo codes to change my password, twice, and it is not working. any suggestions? | 01:33 |
| valorie | what password? | 01:33 |
| valorie | what command? | 01:33 |
| sharmarran | on my computer | 01:34 |
| valorie | sharmarran: please be specific | 01:34 |
| valorie | use a pastebin if necessary | 01:34 |
| valorie | !pastebin | 01:34 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 01:35 |
| sharmarran | I am new to ununtu and even newer to kubuntu 20.04 focal fossa. Since first installing ubuntu, I have had one password for everything. I need to change that password. Using the commandline, I changed my password. It stated that it was successful, but it was not. I then used the commandline again to change mt root password. Again it stated that it w | 01:39 |
| sharmarran | as successful, but it was not. Is that specific enough for you? | 01:39 |
| valorie | can you copy into a pastebin what you tried to do? | 01:40 |
| threebar` | sharmarran, you can find the commands you ran with the "history" command in bash | 01:40 |
| threebar` | or if you still have the terminal open, the full output is even better. | 01:41 |
| sharmarran | lol As I said, this is all new to me | 01:41 |
| threebar` | you use ctrl+shift+c/v to copy and paste from terminal | 01:41 |
| threebar` | yep, that's why i'm sending you more info | 01:41 |
| threebar` | but, as valorie said, all the info you can provide would be really helpful | 01:42 |
| valorie | thanks threebar`I'll leave it to you! | 01:42 |
| threebar` | commands from "history" would be good, copying the full output frm your terminal would be even better. | 01:42 |
| valorie | I didn't know about the history command | 01:42 |
| threebar` | valorie, no problem. i've been using bash since the 90s and I found out about it only 7 years ago | 01:43 |
| threebar` | there's a big caveat with "history" and that's that it provides history for the current user/session so if you had multiple sessions open or you su'd to another user, you have to do a bit of digging to find your history | 01:43 |
| sharmarran | This is the problem with people who help with ubuntu/kubuntu. They want to make things unnecessarily complicated for people. Can you just give me the commands to change my password?! | 01:44 |
| threebar` | passwd | 01:44 |
| sharmarran | yep did that | 01:44 |
| threebar` | "man passwd" for syntax | 01:44 |
| sharmarran | twice | 01:45 |
| threebar` | if you do "passwd" by itself, it changes the current user's password | 01:45 |
| threebar` | "sudo passwd root" will help you change the root password | 01:45 |
| threebar` | sudo uses your current user password, btw. so when you do "sudo su", it's not asking you for your root password, but for your current user's password | 01:46 |
| threebar` | use "su" by itself or "su root" in order to be prompted for the root password | 01:46 |
| valorie | most users do not need the root passw ever | 01:46 |
| valorie | !root | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:46 |
| sharmarran | i did all that | 01:46 |
| threebar` | if you want to change your current user's password, use "passwd" by itself, or even better, use "passwd [user]" where [user] is the username for the user whose passsword you'd like to change | 01:47 |
| threebar` | sharmarran, so what's the problem? | 01:47 |
| sharmarran | as i said, the system said the password change was successful but it was not | 01:47 |
| sharmarran | it will only take the old password | 01:48 |
| sharmarran | what is the problem? | 01:48 |
| sharmarran | really? | 01:48 |
| threebar` | sharmarran, do "sudo passwd root" and set the password for root. then "su root" and type in that password and it should accept the password you changed. now do "passwd" to change your current user password. and then do "sudo su" to su to root and it'll prompt you to enter the password you entered for the current user. got it? | 01:48 |
| sharmarran | as I said I did all that | 01:49 |
| threebar` | do it again. | 01:49 |
| sharmarran | i did | 01:49 |
| sharmarran | twice | 01:50 |
| threebar` | do everyting I typed in the previous message. 1) sudo passwd root 2) su root 3) passwd 4) sudo su | 01:50 |
| sharmarran | i am 67 years old. I do not have the time to waste | 01:50 |
| threebar` | 1 will set the root pw, 2 will help you check it, 3 will set the current user password 4 will help you check it | 01:50 |
| threebar` | sharmarran, it's 4 commands and should take no more than a couple minutes | 01:51 |
| sharmarran | ok | 01:51 |
| threebar` | oh, important: between step 2 and 3 type "exit" to go back to the current user | 01:52 |
| threebar` | otherwise steps 3 and 4 will work on the root password as well, which is not what you want. my apologies, but I forgot | 01:53 |
| sharmarran | yep the same thing I did before | 01:54 |
| threebar` | Here's what mine looks like: | 01:56 |
| threebar` | https://pastebin.com/g7e5Z4T2 | 01:56 |
| threebar` | If you go to pastebin.com, you can select the commands from your Konsole window, hit ctrl+shift+c to copy them, and then paste them in the textbox in the pastebin.com window, and click the gray "Create new paste" button in the center of the page. Then you can copy the link from the browser address bar and paste it here. Can do you do that so I can see what you're going through on your side? It'll help me understand what's happening | 01:58 |
| sharmarran | yes and mine also says 'passwd: password updated successfully' | 01:58 |
| sharmarran | it said the same thing twice before but when I restart my computer, it will only take the old password | 01:59 |
| sharmarran | so it changed nothing | 01:59 |
| threebar` | Are you logging in as root when you restart your computer? Most people don't log in as root by default | 01:59 |
| threebar` | Can you open a new Konsole window and type in "id"? | 02:00 |
| threebar` | Mine looks like this: | 02:00 |
| sharmarran | here, let me repast what I said before | 02:00 |
| threebar` | $ id | 02:00 |
| threebar` | uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),118(lpadmin),128(sambashare),133(vboxusers) | 02:00 |
| threebar` | Maybe you need to change another, non-root password in order to change your login password | 02:00 |
| sharmarran | I am new to ununtu and even newer to kubuntu 20.04 focal fossa. Since first installing ubuntu, I have had one password for everything. I need to change that password. Using the commandline, | 02:01 |
| threebar` | Okay, so open a new Konsole and type in "id" and that should tell you as which user you're logging into your computer. | 02:01 |
| sharmarran | It is that password i am trying to change. It is the password that is used for everything! | 02:02 |
| threebar` | Yes, so try the following: type "id" and get the user name. It'll be the first few characters of output. | 02:03 |
| sharmarran | i know my user name | 02:03 |
| threebar` | Then, type in "passwd [user]" where [user] is the user name you got from "id" to change your password, then hit ctrl+alt+L to lock your screen, and then type in the new password and confirm that the new password works with the lock screen | 02:03 |
| sharmarran | again ...it says it was changed successfully. One moment I will restrart | 02:05 |
| sharmarran | thank you! That Worked. | 02:15 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Guest1742 | ||
| threebar` | Glad it worked. Hope he knows I was happy to help even though he left | 02:21 |
| sharmarran | what a mess | 02:28 |
| sharmarran | the code given did indeed change my password to login to my computer, and for the kernal. However, every thing else still requires the old password. I was looking for a way to change my main password for everything on my system. (for instance, I was just asked to enter a pw for a wallet. it took the old password. I was never asked that question bef | 02:31 |
| sharmarran | ore)So i will keep searching for the answer. thanks anyways | 02:31 |
| threebar` | ah, changing your wallet password is a different beast | 02:33 |
| threebar` | https://askubuntu.com/questions/22154/how-to-reset-a-password-from-kwallet/225957#225957 | 02:34 |
| threebar` | This will help you delete or change your kwallet password | 02:34 |
| valorie | I was wondering if that would come back to bite | 02:36 |
| valorie | I always set them to be the same as well | 02:36 |
| valorie | but changing them is .... | 02:36 |
| valorie | unfun | 02:36 |
| sharmarran | I am wow many more beasts I will come across. wondering at this point, just how many other beasts I will run across. So I guess there is no way to change the main password. | 02:38 |
| valorie | you have changed your user password | 02:39 |
| sharmarran | I am wondering | 02:39 |
| valorie | that is the "main" one | 02:39 |
| valorie | short answer: there is no "main" one | 02:39 |
| valorie | but the user passw is the most used | 02:40 |
| sharmarran | well when I first installed ubuntu a week ago. I was only ever asked to make one password. So, do i have to install everything all over again, just to change the password? lol | 02:41 |
| valorie | unless you encrypt your drives -- that can be yet another, and I'm unsure it *can* be changed | 02:41 |
| valorie | sharmarran: changing your user password is rather major, as you have noticed | 02:41 |
| valorie | most people never do it | 02:42 |
| sharmarran | This, should also be explained to people who are new to the linux system | 02:42 |
| sharmarran | well ... I have never been 'most' people | 02:43 |
| valorie | heh | 02:43 |
| valorie | 'most' people don't use linux, I've discovered | 02:43 |
| sharmarran | probably, like me, they could not find a way to do it. | 02:44 |
| sharmarran | ubuntu/ kubuntu are Linux systems | 02:44 |
| valorie | indeed | 02:45 |
| sharmarran | okay I am going to go. It is late. Have a lovely evening | 02:45 |
| valorie | I had my son to help me many years ago | 02:45 |
| Metamorphosis | hello deknos-M, unfortunately I couldn't install Viber.deb with the solution you mentioned. | 02:48 |
| === lolokun-M is now known as lolokun | ||
| valorie | !info viber | 02:49 |
| ubottu | Package viber does not exist in focal | 02:50 |
| valorie | Metamorphosis: is there a snap for it? | 02:50 |
| valorie | or flatpak/appimage | 02:50 |
| Metamorphosis | valorie there is an unofficial one but it's very old (2017) | 02:50 |
| Metamorphosis | valorie, the Viber website provides Deb/RPM packages but qapt says dependencies are missing while doesn't tell which dependencies these are | 02:51 |
| Metamorphosis | the same .deb file worked perfectly on 18.04 | 02:51 |
| valorie | bummer | 02:52 |
| valorie | you can always run it in VM | 02:52 |
| Metamorphosis | I want to know which dependencies are missing in order to install them. | 02:53 |
| valorie | I have a windows program for genealogy that I can only run that way | 02:53 |
| Metamorphosis | Viber is an alternative to skype, while it's proprietary in nature, it works better with slow internet connections. | 02:53 |
| valorie | yes, I got rid of skype long ago | 02:53 |
| Metamorphosis | And why should I run a software that has native linux support in a VM? | 02:53 |
| valorie | it doesn't have up-to-date support, as you have found | 02:54 |
| valorie | I like jitsi, myself | 02:54 |
| valorie | free software, nothing to install | 02:54 |
| valorie | unless you want to | 02:54 |
| valorie | works in the browser | 02:54 |
| Metamorphosis | valorie I like jitsi but seriously I can't tell an employer or supervisor who wants to interview me that skype is bad and you should try free software. | 02:55 |
| valorie | https://jitsi.org/ | 02:55 |
| valorie | got it | 02:56 |
| valorie | and I know some still use such bad applications (see Zoom) | 02:56 |
| valorie | !deb | 02:56 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 02:56 |
| Metamorphosis | Zoom is completely rubbish | 02:56 |
| valorie | agreed | 02:57 |
| Metamorphosis | Skype is better | 02:57 |
| valorie | so dpkg didn't work for you/ | 02:57 |
| valorie | well, skype started to get very full of spam | 02:57 |
| valorie | and the M$ bought them | 02:58 |
| Metamorphosis | Well. the qapt software should show the list of missing dependencies. That's what Zypper/YaST is doing in OpenSUSE | 02:58 |
| valorie | and I purged the remnents from my system | 02:58 |
| valorie | one would think so | 02:58 |
| Metamorphosis | Seriously, all linux distros should have a YaST alternative. | 02:58 |
| valorie | I like apt | 02:58 |
| Metamorphosis | I wonder if one could install it on Kubuntu? | 02:59 |
| Metamorphosis | PCLinuxOS runs apt with RPM packages, so I think it's technically possible to do the opposite. | 02:59 |
| valorie | have you tried pkcon? | 03:00 |
| valorie | instead of apt, I mean | 03:01 |
| Metamorphosis | valorie, no | 03:02 |
| valorie | look at pkcon -help | 03:03 |

| unknownTX | soo, I have this external drive that is formatted in exfat and I desire to use the free space and create a new partition in a format that linux can actually use properly... then move files from the exfat to the ext3 (or whatever is best) partition, and continue the process of resizing the partitions until the drive have been eradicated of the exfat and all files are on the new partition.... my question is : Is this actually workable?

| IrcsomeBot | <Linuxophil> @Franzpow, Correct. | 12:59 |

| BluesKaj | unknownTX, is the exfat partition seen by the partitioner? I've read that there have been problems with reading files on that FS | 13:09 |
| user|80692 | Q: i've Kubuntu 19.10 , and upgrade to 20.04 seems still disabled, is it possible? | 13:09 |
| unknownTX | getting a warning : Unable to read the contents of this file system! | 13:10 |
| unknownTX | Because of this some operations may be unavailable. ... this is an exfat partition so now i am wondering if its possible | 13:10 |
| unknownTX | i try to resize the drive but it wont let me move the slider | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | user|80692, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 13:11 |
| unknownTX | I was thinking, back in the day, that if i did exfat for my drive, i could use it between windows and linux no problem.. pfft, big problems... i cant stand exfat now and i dont even use windows anymore | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | user|80692, make sure you update and upgrade your 19.10 packages first | 13:12 |
| user|80692 | #BluesKaj, -d means "develompent release", is it the only way to do it ? | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | unknownTX, if you use nfts instead of ext4 you'll still have access from linux | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | user|80692, yes, but i was old to use that until the point release comes thru in july | 13:14 |
| unknownTX | BluesKaj, i guess I should have done that but i kept falling into problems with corruption in the external device after switching between Oses which prompted me to exfat.. im good with just a linux fs now | 13:15 |
| user|80692 | ah, ok.. thank you BluesKaj | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | unknownTX, you'll have use windows to transfer your files tho | 13:15 |
| unknownTX | BluesKaj, I have a feeling that i need to evaluate what all is really important to keep and purge the drive of non-pertinent files and try to copy over to my internal drive, God willing there is enough space.. then just resurrect the drive with the new partiton.. this is going to be nerve wracking lol. | 13:17 |
| unknownTX | 2TB external, my internal is only 250GB | 13:17 |
| unknownTX | too bad there wasnt a way to just convert exfat to ext* type partition | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | there is but you'll lose all your files | 13:21 |
| unknownTX | lol, true BluesKaj | 13:22 |
| unknownTX | So what does everyone belive is the best filesystem to use for an external drive? Assuming its only going to be used on nix systems | 13:23 |
| unknownTX | ...first thing im purging is all the old windows files and packages.. not like i need them anyways.. i have no desire to return to windows 10 on this unit | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | unknownTX, I've had success with both ntfs and ext4, but nfts is more portable if you have alot of media files and you can plug the drive into a smart tv and watch movies directly, some tvs don't recognize ext* file systems | 13:26 |
| Metamorphosis | Kmail can't work with Gmail? | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | Metamorphosis, it should, but I gave up on Kmail many yrs ago, it's just too clunky for a home user | 13:28 |
| unknownTX | BluesKaj, the only thing that causes me pause is any files becoming corrupt by the drive being accessed between differing systems/devices so ntfs should work just fine as far as permissions and full linux functinallity? | 13:28 |
| Metamorphosis | BluesKaj I'm a bit KDE purist but maybe I should move to Thunderbid too. The last time I checked Thunderbid it couldn't work with Microsoft Emails. | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | yup, works well for me unknownTX ...i have an outboard drive rescued from a laptop formatted to ntfs and it works fine on all 3 platforms, Windows, Mac, and Linux | 13:31 |
| unknownTX | thanks BluesKaj, ill have to rethink this. | 13:32 |
| Metamorphosis | After removing Kmail using Discover, many other KDE mail stuff are still present, including Kmail Header theme editor, KTnef and Sieve Editor. Is it normal? | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | Metamorphosis, they're all part of the kde/plasma PIM suite, or used to be, not real sure since i've used any of those apps since kde4 | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | haven't used rather | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | anyway ...BBL | 13:43 |
| unknownTX | ...purging over 156GB of windows packages lol... | 13:48 |
| unknownTX | 1.82GB down to 602GB | 13:51 |

| unknownTX | odd occurance just now, trying to get into my drive in dolphin and says i cold not enter into folder ..... i run a ls -lad and get: drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Apr 27 08:34 /media/unknown | 14:12 |
| unknownTX | looks like some kind of permissions problem now ... i was just going and deleting folders and renaming folders on my exfat drive and now this | 14:13 |
| unknownTX | the drive is steady running but i dont know what is now causing the drive to be in use | 14:13 |
| user|49342 | hi all, where can I find minimum requirements for Kubuntu (20.04)? | 14:14 |
| unknownTX | i see dolphin is still running via the ps command but the GUI is not.. if i were to kill dolphin, might i suffer corrupt files? | 14:15 |
| unknownTX | user|49342, I am guessing it does not say on the download page? | 14:16 |
| user|49342 | it doesn't | 14:20 |
| unknownTX | user|49342 i found this: https://techspirited.com/kubuntu-system-requirements | 14:20 |
| unknownTX | not sure the date or the version of kubuntu it speaks of but from my experience, kubuntu is a great lightweight distro , expecially great for older hardware with minimal specs | 14:21 |
| user|49342 | yeah, I want to put a lightweight *ubuntu into a 2GB ram (but good processor and SSD), and I'm choosing between Kubuntu and Lubuntu | 14:27 |
| user|49342 | that page has not date indeed. I guess i'll try both and decide then. Thank you! | 14:29 |

| usr7rst1 | Hello! I want to move to this distro, but I've had multiple issues with plasmashell crashing earlier. Segmentation fault. Happens after a while when computer goes into lockscreen. Can someone point me in the right direction of fixing this? | 14:41 |
| usr7rst1 | Found no successful solutions online as most of them are outdates | 14:42 |
| Metamorphosis | usr7rst1 Can you explain more? I never had such issue. | 14:59 |
| usr7rst1 | Everything would work fine until I logged in after it going to lock screen. Programs would be there, everything would be responsive except the desktop itself. After doing kquit and kstart plasmashell in the terminal the desktop would be back | 15:02 |
| usr7rst1 | It seems to be an issue with the desktop environment though, as Manjaro KDE also has the same issue | 15:03 |
| usr7rst1 | I've also seen some people connecting it with the fact that they have an AMD gpu, which I also have. Could this be part of the problem? | 15:04 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> @usr7rst1, I have range of NVidia cards and one Intel laptop and I do not have this issue. So likely could be an AMD specific issue. I recommend searching bugs.kde.org for similar issues and contacting the KDE channel once the bug has been found or reported. | 15:17 |

| Linneris | Greetings! I have upgraded from Kubuntu 19.10 to 20.04, and the Alt-F2 shortcut for running commands has stopped working. | 16:07 |
| Linneris | It started working again after running /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kconf_update_bin/krunnerglobalshortcuts | 16:07 |
| Linneris | Just thought I'd share that here. :) | 16:07 |
| matthias_ | Could you also use <Alt> <Space> to get the Krunner-Promt? | 16:11 |
| Linneris | Nope, I couldn't. But that command fixed both shortcuts | 16:13 |
| matthias_ | Hm, interesting. For me (fresh install of 20.04) it also has some strange bugs... Sometimes, after booting, my Touchpad is just not working properbly. No right-click, no left-click (on tab) only the mouse-keys (thank god I have one...) are working. No problem after another reboot. | 16:16 |

| Taggnostr | eeos, I use fcitx | 16:28 |
| Taggnostr | eeos: something like http://dpaste.com/1GXXZMT | 16:29 |
| eeos | Thank you Taggnostr, I have installed fcitx, but I need to use stroke based keyboard | 16:31 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: I do not seem to be able to switch to a stroke based keyboard. | 16:32 |
| niktaris | Hi, I have a problem with the sound in 20.04. Problem is that If I disconnect and then reconnect the headphone jack I have no sound in the headphones. I have to go to the systemsettings and change profile in the audio settings to something else and then re-select the settings in order to work. Anybody can help ? | 16:32 |
| Taggnostr | I haven't used stroke-based keyboards, are there any for fcitx? | 16:32 |
| eeos | I think so! | 16:34 |
| CuYonS | hi | 16:34 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fcitx#Chinese | 16:34 |
| Taggnostr | eeos, and did you manage to install it and select it from fcitx? | 16:35 |
| Taggnostr | eeos, you might also have better luck on #ubuntu-cn or #Mandarin | 16:37 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: no luck whatsoever .... | 16:38 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: in your case, how do you switch from one keyboard to the other? using system tray icon? | 16:38 |
| Taggnostr | eeos, cltr+space | 16:38 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: I ried reinstalling everything | 16:40 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: and how do you chose on which input methods to rotate with ctrl+space? | 16:40 |
| Taggnostr | I have 2 inputs, so it switches between the two | 16:41 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: yes, but how do you configure it? | 16:41 |
| Taggnostr | have you tried im-config and restarting afterwards? | 16:41 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: because I always tried to configure it from the fcitx configure .... | 16:41 |
| Taggnostr | in the fcitx settings you can decide which inputs to use | 16:41 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: not with im-config, I have always used fcitx settings | 16:42 |
| Taggnostr | iirc im-config is required to "activate" fcitx, once fcitx is active you can configure/use it normally | 16:42 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: so, I need to install im-config as well .... the issue is that whatever I do, fcitx configure doe snot accept keyboards that aer stroke based .... | 16:43 |
| Taggnostr | eeos, not sure if it's still required, I used those instructions I pasted when I installed it a while ago (but since you are on 18.04 they might still relevant) | 16:44 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: I will try again from scratch | 16:45 |
| Taggnostr | eeos, have you checked if other keyboards work with fcitx? if you can use a pinyin-based keyboard, then the problem is with the stroke-based one, if not, there might be some problem with fcitx | 16:45 |
| eeos | Taggnostr: several! Wubi New Century, Zhegma, etc. etc. | 16:47 |
| eeos | OK! I am going to log out, because I need to restart! Thanks a lot for your help. | 16:47 |
| Taggnostr | if they work, then fcitx is probably fine and you shouldn't need to play with im-config, and the problem might be specific to the stroke keyboard | 16:48 |
| Taggnostr | ok, good luck :) | 16:48 |
