 Hello guys, I think i installed kubuntu 20.04 in safe graphics mode but i can't remember why
 How do I know that i installed safe graphics one?
 Anyone?
[04:15] <valorie> @Nearme101 I don't understand the question, to be honest
 When you liveboot there's 4 options right
[04:16] <valorie> what do you mean installed in safe graphics mode?
 Start kubuntu … Start Kubuntu (safe graphics mode)
[04:16] <valorie> hmmm
 I think I installed in safe graphics mode while I was sleeping
[04:16] <valorie> do you mean that choice affected your install?
[04:17] <valorie> I've never noticed that choice tbh
 No I accidentally pressed down and enter in sleep couldn't see
 Properly
 😅
[04:17] <valorie> or heard of installing in a different mode
 Is there any way I can see whether I installed normally or in graphics mode
[04:18] <valorie> sorry, no clue
[04:18] <valorie> perhaps someone in #ubuntu knows -- it is far larger
 No problem thanks
 what the safe graphic Mod for installation do ?
[08:28] <RyanFlynn> OK, 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?!
[08:39] <diogenes_> RyanFlynn, what?????
[08:40] <oerheks> now boot it in vmware
[08:41] <RyanFlynn> diogenes_ What do you mean what? I'm genuinely really confused here! Everything else I've downloaded is an .exe this doesn't make sense
[08:41] <oerheks> linux is not a brower, it is a complete OS
[08:41] <oerheks> grinn
[08:42] <RyanFlynn> So a browser is a mini-os? I heard about chrome-os, so doesn't it follow that there's a linux browser?
 Chrome-os is an entire OS on its own, based on linux
 You use a browser to navigate on the internet
 You use an OS to utilize a computer
 A browser is just a program that your os can run
[08:46] <RyanFlynn> No it's not, I have chrome installed rn, I'm using it to browse the internet
 Chrome browser and Chrome-OS are two entirely different things
[08:47] <RyanFlynn> That'd be dumb if there was a difference between chrome-os and chrome browser. How do I use this stupid iso file?
 Just complain with google lol
[08:48] <RyanFlynn> I tried that earlier, they didn't respond
[08:48] <RyanFlynn> I figured that linux experts like you people could help me
[08:49] <RyanFlynn> So, AGAIN, how do I install the Linux browser?
[08:49] <RyanFlynn> I want the more security, and sandbox experience
[08:49] <diogenes_> Franzpow>, eady that's a troll.
[08:49] <diogenes_> easy*
 Yes, I noticed that
[08:50] <RyanFlynn> Just like the Diogenes you take your namesake from you spread misinformation
 I tried to be kind for a moment
[08:51] <RyanFlynn> I'm clueless in this endevour, and my pcnerd friends said the linux browser is the best
[08:51] <RyanFlynn> :^(
 Did someone delete the last messages?
 Yes
 Oh ok
 Thank you
 I don't understand such stupid people that have nothing better to do than come here to troll other people
 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 terminal
 I am using kubuntu 19.10. The autoconnection suddenly stopped working
[09:00] <diogenes_> Franzpow, nmcli device connect wlan1
[09:01] <diogenes_> firts nmcli d to see the exact name of the interface.
[09:01] <diogenes_> first*
 Ok. I will try that, thanks
 It asks the password but I've already inserted it
 Maybe I could insert the command in the i3 config file to make it start everytime I bootup the pc
 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!
[10:18] <Administrator_> test
[10:19] <Administrator_> can i install kde ubuntu on windows nt 4.0
[10:19] <Administrator_> if so please help
[10:21] <_heavyarms> uuhhh
[10:21] <_heavyarms> like in vm?
[10:22] <Administrator_> no i found this old computer
[10:22] <Administrator_> it has a vm it has dosbox
[10:22] <Administrator_> would that work?
[10:23] <Administrator_> it was in a bush and it has a sticker that says intel pentium II tm
 @Administrator_, test
[10:23] <Administrator_> so you know its good
[10:24] <Administrator_> one of you guys is scanning my ports
[10:28] <_heavyarms> lol you're pulling my leg
[10:28] <_heavyarms> funny
[10:29] <Administrator_> i'm not it says right there received a ctcp ping from someone in the kubuntu chat though and thats illegal behaviour
[10:29] <Administrator_> HEY
[10:29] <Administrator_> what are you doing stop
[10:30] <_heavyarms> anyway, 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?
[10:31] <Administrator_> im not messing im dead serious
[10:31] <Administrator_> can i install puppy on nt 4.0
[10:31] <_heavyarms> sheesh, 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 lol
[10:32] <_heavyarms> you 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 machine
[10:32] <_heavyarms> but you probably know what all of this means since you're just messing with me
[10:34] <Administrator_> no i know everything i just need guidance
[10:34] <Administrator_> im going to hack you all
[10:34] <_heavyarms> a'ight
[10:34] <Administrator_> https://i.4cdn.org/g/1588501996816.png
[10:34] <Administrator_> proof
[10:35] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[10:35] <_heavyarms> hey, BluesKaj
[10:35] <_heavyarms> spoiler, the windows NT was inside of us all along
[10:36] <BluesKaj> hi _heavyarms
[10:37] <_heavyarms> i guess i'm amazed xchat runs in Windows NT
[10:37] <Administrator_> im hacking you
[10:38] <_heavyarms> all right
[10:38] <Administrator_> haaha
[10:41] <BluesKaj> Administrator_, do you have any kubuntu/kde questions?
[10:43] <Administrator_> yes
[10:43] <Administrator_> i am trying to install the kde ubuntu on windows NT 4.0
[10:43] <Administrator_> but i don't know how
[10:45] <BluesKaj> Administrator_, you can't so stop asking silly questions
[10:47] <_heavyarms> i wonder if the NT itself is being run in a VM. OS-ception
[10:47] <Administrator_> cat ubuntu.iso >/dev/sda would work on NT 4.0 wouldnt it
[10:47] <Administrator_> its not
[10:47] <Administrator_> im on a pentium II tm
[10:48] <_heavyarms> kubuntu would make a pentium 2 melt irl. it is kind of funny to think about
[10:48] <_heavyarms> in a way, i guess
[10:49] <BluesKaj> _heavyarms, don't feed the troll
[10:50] <_heavyarms> yeah, fair enough
[10:50] <_heavyarms> if this were a bit more serious, i might have suggested lightweight distros for a pentium 2, etc
[10:51] <Xavi92> _heavyarms: I have a laptop sporting an AMD K6-II CPU, so any suggestions are welcome
[10:51] <Administrator_> i am very serious
[10:51] <BluesKaj> _heavyarms, the kde chat has already suggested he ask in debian chat
[10:51] <Administrator_> amd is bad intel pentium is higheer quality
[10:51] <_heavyarms> oh okay
[10:52] <_heavyarms> xavi92, whoa. okay, maybe something like puppy, slitaz, or tinycore.
[10:54] <_heavyarms> also, 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.
[10:55] <Xavi92> _heavyarms: already tested slitaz, tinycore and Damn Small Linux, although all of them had disavantages
[10:55] <Administrator_> i don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno
[10:55] <Administrator_> WTF?
[10:55] <Administrator_> all the ports are open lol
[10:55] <Administrator_> testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno
[10:55] <Administrator_> WTF?
[10:55] <Administrator_> all the ports are open lol
[10:55] <Administrator_> testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno
[10:55] <_heavyarms> Xavi92, right
[10:56] <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 :(
[10:57] <_heavyarms> ah right
[10:57] <Administrator_> sorry bout that
[10:58] <_heavyarms> i'm guessing a lot more is on the table if you don't rely on a gui
[10:58] <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 BSD
[10:58] <_heavyarms> that sounds unsurprising :/
[10:58] <Administrator_> boards.4channel.org/g/thread/75711473
[10:59] <Administrator_> this will explain
[11:00] <_heavyarms> nobody thought you weren't a troll, so...
[11:01] <BluesKaj> he was just banned from #kde chat
[11:01] <_heavyarms> anyway, 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 goes
[11:01] <Administrator_> i'm very sorry guys
[11:01] <Administrator_> can anyone help me instlal kde on nt 4.0
[11:01] <Administrator_> it is important
[11:07] <BluesKaj> Administrator_, 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/
[11:08] <Xavi92> _heavyarms: hm, I think I tried installing older versions of Debian a few years ago with no success. Can't recall why though
[11:09] <heavyarms_> for sure
[11:12] <heavyarms_> oh, antix is another one i forgot about, have heard of, but never actually used
[11:13] <heavyarms_> that is debian-based, but touts itself as running on a lot of older machines, like pentium 3s
[11:17] <Xavi92> heavyarms_: I knew AntiX, and I'm pretty sure I gave it a try with no success. Hmm, let me give it another try
[11:17] <heavyarms_> all right
[11:19] <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 all
[11:19] <BluesKaj> guys this conversation is better suited for #kubuntu-offtopic chat
[11:19] <heavyarms_> oh, sorry
[11:26] <Xavi92> Sorry BluesKaj, moving to #kubuntu-offtopic then
[11:28] <BluesKaj> Xavi92, thanks
[12:59] <Papy> Hi
[14:40] <Roey> hi
[14:41] <Roey> i just finished playing Skyrim.  Now I see that I have zero desktop effects (no translucency either).. how do I fix this?
[14:41] <Roey> thanks!
[14:41] <franzo> maybe just restart the compositor
[14:42] <franzo> systemsettings-> video  -> compositor
[14:43] <Roey> ok, thanks.
[14:43] <Roey> OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
[14:43] <Roey> This was most likely due to a driver bug.
[14:43] <Roey> If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,
[14:43] <Roey> you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash!
[14:43] <Roey> Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.
[14:43] <Roey> that's the message I see there.. so I am re-enabling, let's se..
[14:43] <Roey> see*
[14:44] <Roey> ok, that worked!  Thanks!!
[14:44] <franzo> no problem!

[19:08] <user|51855> hello 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?
[19:09] <tomreyn> !bug
[19:16] <krytarik> I 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.
[19:17] <user|51855> thanks all. @krytarik: I'm sorry but I had already reported it as a bug just before reading your respons.
[19:18] <krytarik> Ok, bug number?
[19:23] <user|51855> @krytarik 1876613
[19:24] <krytarik> LP bug 1876613
[19:44] <krytarik> Just reassigned it to 'plasma-desktop' at least.
[22:02] <Shesh> hi,
[22:02] <Shesh> Can someone teach me how to change splash screen in GIMP. It is all different when I installed from GIMP
[22:09] <Oderus> shesh: try grub-customizer
[22:15] <Shesh> Oderus: It is for GIMP. GIMP's splash screen
[22:15] <Shesh> thanks
[22:15] <Shesh> I not sure where to place the image
[22:25] <Oderus> could just place it in pictures and point to it or /boot/grub
[22:28] <Shesh> +Oderus , I am trying to talk about the screen that will splash when opening GIMP
[22:29] <Shesh> not the boot screen image :)
[22:31] <Oderus> lol.... oops. grub on the mind i guess
[22:32] <Shesh> :)
[23:16] <Oderus>  trying to share from ubuntu to windows, via samba. i got it all set up, the only problem is.. when i connect from windows it says it doesnt have permission to access it. What would a root command be to give a specified user read and write access to a given folder?
