=== hz is now known as hugoziviani [02:42] hi. having difficulty connecting to a shared drive (windows) network share. I tell mount.cifs the address but it doesnt connect [02:45] mount error: could not resolve address for TWEAKSLAPTOP: Unknown error [03:39] Hello guys, I think i installed kubuntu 20.04 in safe graphics mode but i can't remember why [03:40] How do I know that i installed safe graphics one? [03:47] Anyone? [04:15] @Nearme101 I don't understand the question, to be honest [04:16] When you liveboot there's 4 options right [04:16] what do you mean installed in safe graphics mode? [04:16] Start kubuntu … Start Kubuntu (safe graphics mode) [04:16] hmmm [04:16] I think I installed in safe graphics mode while I was sleeping [04:16] do you mean that choice affected your install? [04:17] I've never noticed that choice tbh [04:17] No I accidentally pressed down and enter in sleep couldn't see [04:17] Properly [04:17] 😅 [04:17] or heard of installing in a different mode [04:18] Is there any way I can see whether I installed normally or in graphics mode [04:18] sorry, no clue [04:18] perhaps someone in #ubuntu knows -- it is far larger [04:20] No problem thanks [04:33] what the safe graphic Mod for installation do ? === kubuntu is now known as Guest12222 === TheMetamorphosis is now known as Metamorphosis === kubuntu is now known as Guest37110 [08:28] 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] RyanFlynn, what????? [08:40] now boot it in vmware [08:41] 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] linux is not a brower, it is a complete OS [08:41] grinn [08:42] So a browser is a mini-os? I heard about chrome-os, so doesn't it follow that there's a linux browser? [08:45] Chrome-os is an entire OS on its own, based on linux [08:45] You use a browser to navigate on the internet [08:46] You use an OS to utilize a computer [08:46] A browser is just a program that your os can run [08:46] No it's not, I have chrome installed rn, I'm using it to browse the internet [08:47] Chrome browser and Chrome-OS are two entirely different things [08:47] That'd be dumb if there was a difference between chrome-os and chrome browser. How do I use this stupid iso file? [08:47] Just complain with google lol [08:48] I tried that earlier, they didn't respond [08:48] I figured that linux experts like you people could help me [08:49] So, AGAIN, how do I install the Linux browser? [08:49] I want the more security, and sandbox experience [08:49] Franzpow>, eady that's a troll. [08:49] easy* [08:50] Yes, I noticed that [08:50] Just like the Diogenes you take your namesake from you spread misinformation [08:50] I tried to be kind for a moment [08:51] I'm clueless in this endevour, and my pcnerd friends said the linux browser is the best [08:51] :^( [08:53] Did someone delete the last messages? [08:54] Yes [08:54] Oh ok [08:54] Thank you [08:55] I don't understand such stupid people that have nothing better to do than come here to troll other people [08:58] 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 [08:58] I am using kubuntu 19.10. The autoconnection suddenly stopped working [09:00] Franzpow, nmcli device connect wlan1 [09:01] firts nmcli d to see the exact name of the interface. [09:01] first* [09:03] Ok. I will try that, thanks [09:13] It asks the password but I've already inserted it [09:18] Maybe I could insert the command in the i3 config file to make it start everytime I bootup the pc [09:54] 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] test [10:19] can i install kde ubuntu on windows nt 4.0 [10:19] if so please help [10:21] <_heavyarms> uuhhh [10:21] <_heavyarms> like in vm? [10:22] no i found this old computer [10:22] it has a vm it has dosbox [10:22] would that work? [10:23] it was in a bush and it has a sticker that says intel pentium II tm [10:23] @Administrator_, test [10:23] so you know its good [10:24] one of you guys is scanning my ports [10:28] <_heavyarms> lol you're pulling my leg [10:28] <_heavyarms> funny [10:29] i'm not it says right there received a ctcp ping from someone in the kubuntu chat though and thats illegal behaviour [10:29] HEY [10:29] what are you doing stop === ok is now known as Guest55932 [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] im not messing im dead serious [10:31] 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] no i know everything i just need guidance [10:34] im going to hack you all [10:34] <_heavyarms> a'ight [10:34] https://i.4cdn.org/g/1588501996816.png [10:34] proof [10:35] Howdy all [10:35] <_heavyarms> hey, BluesKaj [10:35] <_heavyarms> spoiler, the windows NT was inside of us all along [10:36] hi _heavyarms [10:37] <_heavyarms> i guess i'm amazed xchat runs in Windows NT [10:37] im hacking you [10:38] <_heavyarms> all right [10:38] haaha === ubuntu is now known as Guest8887 [10:41] Administrator_, do you have any kubuntu/kde questions? [10:43] yes [10:43] i am trying to install the kde ubuntu on windows NT 4.0 [10:43] but i don't know how [10:45] 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] cat ubuntu.iso >/dev/sda would work on NT 4.0 wouldnt it [10:47] its not [10:47] 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] _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] _heavyarms: I have a laptop sporting an AMD K6-II CPU, so any suggestions are welcome [10:51] i am very serious [10:51] _heavyarms, the kde chat has already suggested he ask in debian chat [10:51] 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] _heavyarms: already tested slitaz, tinycore and Damn Small Linux, although all of them had disavantages [10:55] i don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno [10:55] WTF? [10:55] all the ports are open lol [10:55] testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno [10:55] WTF? [10:55] all the ports are open lol [10:55] testdicks diccksdv icsnbuijkdshngbkdsi don't think nmap is supposed to work like that but I dunno [10:55] <_heavyarms> Xavi92, right [10:56] _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] 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] _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] boards.4channel.org/g/thread/75711473 [10:59] this will explain [11:00] <_heavyarms> nobody thought you weren't a troll, so... [11:01] 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] its a public vm where people get allocated 30 second goes [11:01] i'm very sorry guys [11:01] can anyone help me instlal kde on nt 4.0 [11:01] it is important [11:07] 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] _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] for sure [11:12] oh, antix is another one i forgot about, have heard of, but never actually used [11:13] that is debian-based, but touts itself as running on a lot of older machines, like pentium 3s [11:17] 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] all right [11:19] 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] guys this conversation is better suited for #kubuntu-offtopic chat [11:19] oh, sorry [11:26] Sorry BluesKaj, moving to #kubuntu-offtopic then [11:28] Xavi92, thanks === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === sorin is now known as Guest82230 [12:59] Hi [13:02] Vihari Raj was added by: Vihari Raj === hz is now known as hugoziviani [14:40] hi [14:41] i just finished playing Skyrim. Now I see that I have zero desktop effects (no translucency either).. how do I fix this? [14:41] thanks! [14:41] maybe just restart the compositor [14:42] systemsettings-> video -> compositor [14:43] ok, thanks. [14:43] OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past. [14:43] This was most likely due to a driver bug. [14:43] If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver, [14:43] you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash! [14:43] Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead. [14:43] that's the message I see there.. so I am re-enabling, let's se.. [14:43] see* [14:44] ok, that worked! Thanks!! [14:44] no problem!

When I change the wallpaper on the desktop, this wallpaper is not retained between reboots. where should I report this? [19:09] !bug [19:09] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [19:16] 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] thanks all. @krytarik: I'm sorry but I had already reported it as a bug just before reading your respons. [19:18] Ok, bug number? [19:23] @krytarik 1876613 [19:24] LP bug 1876613 [19:24] Launchpad bug 1876613 in Ubuntu "Wallpaper not retained between reboots" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1876613 [19:44] Just reassigned it to 'plasma-desktop' at least. === TheMerchantOfVen is now known as MerchantOfVenice [22:02] hi, [22:02] Can someone teach me how to change splash screen in GIMP.
