IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> Hello guys, I think i installed kubuntu 20.04 in safe graphics mode but i can't remember why03:39
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> How do I know that i installed safe graphics one?03:40
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> Anyone?03:47
valorie@Nearme101 I don't understand the question, to be honest04:15
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> When you liveboot there's 4 options right04:16
valoriewhat do you mean installed in safe graphics mode?04:16
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> Start kubuntu … Start Kubuntu (safe graphics mode)04:16
valoriehmmm04:16
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> I think I installed in safe graphics mode while I was sleeping04:16
valoriedo you mean that choice affected your install?04:16
valorieI've never noticed that choice tbh04:17
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> No I accidentally pressed down and enter in sleep couldn't see04:17
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> Properly04:17
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> 😅04:17
valorieor heard of installing in a different mode04:17
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> Is there any way I can see whether I installed normally or in graphics mode04:18
valoriesorry, no clue04:18
valorieperhaps someone in #ubuntu knows -- it is far larger04:18
IrcsomeBot<Nearme101> No problem thanks04:20
IrcsomeBot<m_wael_eg> what the safe graphic Mod for installation do ?04:33

RyanFlynnOK, so I wanted to install this 'Linux' browser instead of Chrome, I heard it was like way better and secure. So I downloaded the linux from the ubuntu website and it was like over a fucking gig and when I tried to open it, it was a stupid ISO file. How do I use this? It's supposed to be an EXE?!08:28
diogenes_RyanFlynn, what?????08:39
oerheksnow boot it in vmware08:40
RyanFlynndiogenes_ What do you mean what? I'm genuinely really confused here! Everything else I've downloaded is an .exe this doesn't make sense08:41
oerhekslinux is not a brower, it is a complete OS08:41
oerheksgrinn08:41
RyanFlynnSo a browser is a mini-os? I heard about chrome-os, so doesn't it follow that there's a linux browser?08:42
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Chrome-os is an entire OS on its own, based on linux08:45
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> You use a browser to navigate on the internet08:45
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> You use an OS to utilize a computer08:46
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> A browser is just a program that your os can run08:46
RyanFlynnNo it's not, I have chrome installed rn, I'm using it to browse the internet08:46
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Chrome browser and Chrome-OS are two entirely different things08:47
RyanFlynnThat'd be dumb if there was a difference between chrome-os and chrome browser. How do I use this stupid iso file?08:47
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Just complain with google lol08:47
RyanFlynnI tried that earlier, they didn't respond08:48
RyanFlynnI figured that linux experts like you people could help me08:48
RyanFlynnSo, AGAIN, how do I install the Linux browser?08:49
RyanFlynnI want the more security, and sandbox experience08:49
diogenes_Franzpow>, eady that's a troll.08:49
diogenes_easy*08:49
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Yes, I noticed that08:50
RyanFlynnJust like the Diogenes you take your namesake from you spread misinformation08:50
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> I tried to be kind for a moment08:50
RyanFlynnI'm clueless in this endevour, and my pcnerd friends said the linux browser is the best08:51
RyanFlynn:^(08:51
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Did someone delete the last messages?08:53
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Yes08:54
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Oh ok08:54
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Thank you08:54
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> I don't understand such stupid people that have nothing better to do than come here to troll other people08:55
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Is there a way to connect to my wifi connection with a command via terminal?  … I have this issue on i3wm that couldn't allow me to autoconnect to the connection when I startup the pc.  … So I have to start systemsettings5 and click on the connection option in order to make it autoconnect to the wifi. Would be much faster to type something in the terminal08:58
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> I am using kubuntu 19.10. The autoconnection suddenly stopped working08:58
diogenes_Franzpow, nmcli device connect wlan109:00
diogenes_firts nmcli d to see the exact name of the interface.09:01
diogenes_first*09:01
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Ok. I will try that, thanks09:03
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> It asks the password but I've already inserted it09:13
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Maybe I could insert the command in the i3 config file to make it start everytime I bootup the pc09:18
IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> Can anyone confirm a working Kmail instance in 20.04? I want to know if it is worth continuing trying to troubleshoot it. (Kmail receives but cannot send mail). Anybody -please let me know if you have Kmail working in Fossa otherwise I will look at installing 19.10 again or another distro. nb Please don't @ me about using Thunderbird (or other). Thanks!09:54
Administrator_test10:18
Administrator_can i install kde ubuntu on windows nt 4.010:19
Administrator_if so please help10:19
_heavyarmsuuhhh10:21
_heavyarmslike in vm?10:21
Administrator_no i found this old computer10:22
Administrator_it has a vm it has dosbox10:22
Administrator_would that work?10:22
Administrator_it was in a bush and it has a sticker that says intel pentium II tm10:23
IrcsomeBot<m_wael_eg> @Administrator_, test10:23
Administrator_so you know its good10:23
Administrator_one of you guys is scanning my ports10:24
_heavyarmslol you're pulling my leg10:28
_heavyarmsfunny10:28
Administrator_i'm not it says right there received a ctcp ping from someone in the kubuntu chat though and thats illegal behaviour10:29
Administrator_HEY10:29
Administrator_what are you doing stop10:29
=== ok is now known as Guest55932
_heavyarmsanyway, okay, i'll for some reason assume you're not just messing with me (for some reason). i hella wouldn't put kubuntu on a pentium 2. maybe puppy linux?10:30
Administrator_im not messing im dead serious10:31
Administrator_can i install puppy on nt 4.010:31
_heavyarmssheesh, even xfce might be a little too bloated for that relic. tough call. but i do know that i put lubuntu and xfce mint on a laptop which is approximately pentium 4 era.. and it creaks and moans lol10:31
_heavyarmsyou wouldn't install it on top of it, but replace the OS entirely, unless you're installing it in a separate partition or inside a virtual machine10:32
_heavyarmsbut you probably know what all of this means since you're just messing with me10:32
Administrator_no i know everything i just need guidance10:34
Administrator_im going to hack you all10:34

BluesKajAdministrator_, do you have any kubuntu/kde questions?10:41
Administrator_yes10:43
Administrator_i am trying to install the kde ubuntu on windows NT 4.010:43
Administrator_but i don't know how10:43
BluesKajAdministrator_, you can't so stop asking silly questions10:45
_heavyarmsi wonder if the NT itself is being run in a VM. OS-ception10:47
Administrator_cat ubuntu.iso >/dev/sda would work on NT 4.0 wouldnt it10:47
Administrator_its not10:47
Administrator_im on a pentium II tm10:47
_heavyarmskubuntu would make a pentium 2 melt irl. it is kind of funny to think about10:48
_heavyarmsin a way, i guess10:48
BluesKaj_heavyarms, don't feed the troll10:49
_heavyarmsyeah, fair enough10:50
_heavyarmsif this were a bit more serious, i might have suggested lightweight distros for a pentium 2, etc10:50
Xavi92_heavyarms: I have a laptop sporting an AMD K6-II CPU, so any suggestions are welcome10:51
Administrator_i am very serious10:51
BluesKaj_heavyarms, the kde chat has already suggested he ask in debian chat10:51
Administrator_amd is bad intel pentium is higheer quality10:51
_heavyarmsoh okay10:51
_heavyarmsxavi92, whoa. okay, maybe something like puppy, slitaz, or tinycore.10:52
_heavyarmsalso, a non-gui version of something like arch might be okay.. though you might need an earlier version because of a lot of distros being 64 bit, and UEFI-weirdness.10:54
Xavi92_heavyarms: already tested slitaz, tinycore and Damn Small Linux, although all of them had disavantages10:55
Administrator_i don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno10:55
Administrator_WTF?10:55
Administrator_all the ports are open lol10:55
Administrator_testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno10:55
Administrator_WTF?10:55
Administrator_all the ports are open lol10:55
Administrator_testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno10:55
_heavyarmsXavi92, right10:55
Xavi92_heavyarms: the Linux kernel stopped supporting i586 (which the K6-II still is) a long time ago, so compatible distros tend to use very long kernels and packages :(10:56
_heavyarmsah right10:57
Administrator_sorry bout that10:57
_heavyarmsi'm guessing a lot more is on the table if you don't rely on a gui10:58
Xavi92_heavyarms: the laptop has no Ethernet interface, so I use a WiFi USB dongle from Lutec. While it worked on Win XP and some of those distros, I could not find a compatible driver on BSD10:58
_heavyarmsthat sounds unsurprising :/10:58
Administrator_boards.4channel.org/g/thread/7571147310:58
Administrator_this will explain10:59
_heavyarmsnobody thought you weren't a troll, so...11:00
BluesKajhe was just banned from #kde chat11:01
_heavyarmsanyway, Xavi92, hm.. that's tricky. i wonder how older non-gui debian would do?11:01
Administrator_its a public vm where people get allocated 30 second goes11:01
Administrator_i'm very sorry guys11:01
Administrator_can anyone help me instlal kde on nt 4.011:01
Administrator_it is important11:01
BluesKajAdministrator_, this has nothing to do with kubuntu support but here you go, but don't bother us about it again because it's offtopic here, https://sourceforge.net/projects/kde-windows/11:07
Xavi92_heavyarms: hm, I think I tried installing older versions of Debian a few years ago with no success. Can't recall why though11:08
heavyarms_for sure11:09
heavyarms_oh, antix is another one i forgot about, have heard of, but never actually used11:12
heavyarms_that is debian-based, but touts itself as running on a lot of older machines, like pentium 3s11:13
Xavi92heavyarms_: I knew AntiX, and I'm pretty sure I gave it a try with no success. Hmm, let me give it another try11:17
heavyarms_all right11:17
heavyarms_i know some old-ish computers have some uefi stuff to play with.. but oddly enough they only started doing that *in* 1998 and beyond, so that might not be your issue at all11:19
BluesKajguys this conversation is better suited for #kubuntu-offtopic chat11:19
heavyarms_oh, sorry11:19
Xavi92Sorry BluesKaj, moving to #kubuntu-offtopic then11:26
BluesKajXavi92, thanks11:28

Roeyi just finished playing Skyrim.  Now I see that I have zero desktop effects (no translucency either).. how do I fix this?14:41
Roeythanks!14:41
franzomaybe just restart the compositor14:41
franzosystemsettings-> video  -> compositor14:42
Roeyok, thanks.14:43
RoeyOpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.14:43
RoeyThis was most likely due to a driver bug.14:43
RoeyIf you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,14:43
Roeyyou can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash!14:43
RoeyAlternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.14:43
Roeythat's the message I see there.. so I am re-enabling, let's se..14:43

user|51855hello all. noob here. Just started using kubuntu 20.04. When I change the wallpaper on the desktop, this wallpaper is not retained between reboots. where should I report this?19:08
tomreyn!bug19:09
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.19:09
krytarikI wouldn't jump right ahead to reporting it as a bug though, but rather check first if there might be something like a permissions issue.  I'm not using Plasma myself though, so someone who does and knows where to look needs to step in there.19:16
user|51855thanks all. @krytarik: I'm sorry but I had already reported it as a bug just before reading your respons.19:17
