 Hey guys! Should an up to date Kubuntu 19.10 get an upgrade notification to 20.04 and a GUI way to do it?
[06:18] <magic_ninja> Linuxophil, Not sure. Mine didn't. I just updated both of my systems today. Sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
[06:19] <magic_ninja> Linuxophil, then reboot, and ctrl alt F2 into a normal terminal. sudo service sddm stop and then sudo do-release-upgrade
[06:19] <magic_ninja> I'm not sure about a GUI way. I just stopped it all to update.
[06:19] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:20] <lordievader> Linuxophil, I guess it should. An LTS -> LTS is a different story, but 19.10 is not an LTS.
 @magic_ninja, OMG, I thought just "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" would be the way to go. Why these many steps? (Honest question.
 @lordievader> Linuxophil, I guess it should. An LTS -, Exactly. LTS gets notification after 20.04.1 is out.
 @lordievader, Good morning!
 Nice day for fishin, ainnit? 😉
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyw6n1EKlww
[06:31] <magic_ninja> Linuxophil, you can do it that way too. Sorry, I think I forgot to do the -d on do-release-upgrade. I go through those extra steps just because its the way I've always done it. Upgrading all of your packages, running apt autoremove, then rebooting are pretty much going to be necessary prior to upgrade.
[06:32] <lordievader> IIRC `-d` is only used to upgrade to development releases? Shouldn't be necessary to upgrade to 20.04
[06:32] <lordievader> <IrcsomeBot "<Linuxophil> Nice day for fishin"> Hope the weather is better than the previous days...
 @lordievader> <IrcsomeBot "<Linuxophil> Nice day for fishin", Well, you know his answer... 😉
[06:34] <RikMills> Ubuntu release team have not enabled normal upgrades yet
 @lordievader, Apparently -d is needed until 20.04.1 . That's what I was told ealrier in this chat.
[06:34] <oerheks> !ltsupgrade
[06:34] <oerheks> i would wait
 @RikMills, Hi Rik! Do you have an idea when this might come to pass?
[06:35] <RikMills> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony/+bug/1872902
[06:35] <RikMills> when that is fixed ^
[06:35] <RikMills> the switch to enable covers ubuntu and all flavours and server, so all have to wait for that fix
 @oerheks, Very sound advice. I will not upgrade my production systems. But I was asking for a lonely laptop of someone whom I will not see after next week. So I kind of need to put him on the LTS.
 @RikMills, Thanks a lot!
[06:36] <RikMills> yes, 18.04 -> 20.04 will not be until about the 20.04.1
[06:37] <RikMills> it is 19.10 --> 20.04 that will be soon, if the bug gets sorted
[06:38] <lordievader> Thanks RikMills, oerheks, that explains why the -d is needed.
[06:42] <RikMills> as said, you can force the upgrade now. the main ubuntu notes even show the '-d'. for most it probably would be fine
 Some bugs look quite harsh though.
[07:17] <jimtendo> Hi all, I've just upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04. Everything went smoothly with the exception that KRunner no longer appears invokable via Alt+Space or Alt+F2... anyone else run into this?
[07:20] <lordievader> jimtendo: Is krunner still running?
[07:21] <jimtendo> lordievader:  Yeah, I can see it there in System Monitor... I can also manually invoke it from command-line and it shows.
[07:21] <jimtendo> Maybe my key-bindings disappeared for whatever reason. I'll take a look.
[07:22] <lordievader> Sound a bit like it
[07:23] <jimtendo> Weird, so under Global Shortcuts, it still had it there as Alt+Space/Alt+F2... But, i set it to "Custom" and did Alt+Space manually. It reverted to the "Default" option as soon as I did this and now works. Guessing just a weird quirky bug of some sort.
[07:26] <lordievader> Glad it works again though
[07:26] <jimtendo> Thank you. Absolutely love KDE. Been forced to use OSX the past almost two years for work. KDE slaughters it in almost every respect.
[07:32] <swain> is there anyway to upgrade a standard ubuntu 20.04 install to kubuntu? Or is my best bet just to download plasma and install?
[07:53] <lordievader> swain: You could install the package `kubuntu-desktop`. Though my personal experience is that it does cause quite some clutter, as in two flavours of certain applications.
 @Anarchotaoist, SOLVED: I manually deleted all .config and .local files relating to Kmail and Akonadi, uninstalled Kmail and Akonadi then reinstalled both. Mail now sends!
[08:09] <jimtendo> Hi all, I was having some problems before with KRunner not executing on Alt+Space/Alt+F2 after upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04. I think I've found the fundamental problem in case anyone else bumps into this: In Global Shortcuts, there's two sections that have the Alt+Space/Alt+F2 binding: a) Application Launchers -> KRunner and b) Other Shortcuts -> Run Command. Removing the Binding from Run Command and leaving it in KRunner appears to solve this problem
[08:10] <jimtendo> for me.
 @Anarchotaoist, Any non destructive methods available?
 I see apparmor messages in syslog, which might give some clues
[08:53] <karel_> Hello, is this a place where I can ask for help with my system?
[08:56] <lordievader> karel_: If you run a Kubuntu system, yes. Otherwise we can surely redirect you to the right channel.
[08:57] <karel_> Okay, yes I run kubuntu :)
[08:58] <karel_> So I decided to dual boot like a week ago and started with a small partition. 15GB root and 30GB home, now I like it a lot and decided I wanted more space. I hopped onto Windows for like the first time since and started deleted everything I now did on Linux (which is about everything except gaming). I freed up like 80GB. I then looked up how to grow partitions to the left and apparently I needed to boot from live disc, move the partition
[08:58] <karel_> and then grow it.
[08:59] <karel_> Thats what I did and everything worked. Except my SATA SSD is now connected through NVMe? I have no idea how this is possible but my boot times are also really really slow
[08:59] <karel_> the boot SSD
[09:33] <lordievader> Growing partitions that way is a pita (which is why I like LVM 😉). Changing the interface of your SSD is not possible.
[09:33] <lordievader> karel_: What is the output of `systemd-analyze`?
[09:35] <karel_> yeah well, a friend of mine just suggested I reinstalled with LVM, but I dont want to do that unless really necessary so I though I'd just give it a shot this way
[09:35] <karel_> let me see
[09:35] <karel_> Startup finished in 3.112s (firmware) + 15.971s (loader) + 34.103s (kernel) + 1min 51.298s (userspace) = 2min 44.485s
[09:35] <karel_> graphical.target reached after 1min 38.063s in userspace
[09:36] <karel_> so its the userspace thats taking so much time
[09:42] <lordievader> For next time:
[09:42] <lordievader> !paste
[09:42] <lordievader> karel_: To see what takes up all that time: `systemd-analyze blame`
[09:44] <karel_> do you need all the output or only the top few
[09:45] <karel_> top 10:
[09:45] <karel_> 20.930s fstrim.service
[09:45] <karel_>  6.489s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
[09:45] <karel_>  2.989s bolt.service
[09:45] <karel_>  1.349s gpu-manager.service
[09:45] <karel_>  1.112s docker.service
[09:46] <karel_> sorry https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XDRsRd7Ky2/
[09:58] <lordievader> I'd disable the fstrim service and run it manually when needed.
[09:59] <karel_> it doesn't add up to 2 minutes though, why is that?
[10:18] <lordievader> Things are started in parallel (where possible)
[10:41] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:34] <Clqy> Dolphin right click menu: How do i remove the clutter?  I have tried to manually add some options to merge pdfs using a downloaded service menu addon, but i couldnt get it working... I then discovered the native way to install addons, and a simpler addon that is exactly what i wanted, so how do i remove the first mess?
[12:35] <Clqy> i can unselect some of the options but then not everything dissapears, and i have the impression i have some uneccesary stuff in the background

 @mythio, How to get these in a single line, rather than grid?
 @mythio, This is desktop grid, activated by pressing ctrl+F8
[17:11] <theteju> It seems that I have nvidia conflicting with boot process , hence the screen sometime stuck at terminate playmouth screen during boot ...  My websearch says,, I should edit,, grub config file and update grub by adding NOMODESET parameter!
[17:12] <theteju> I am little nervous to mess around with grub, Any one expert here can guide me, Please?
[17:13] <theteju> I am on Linux Kubuntu2020 5.4.0-28-generic and I have Successful Nvidia driver installed and running on the system.
[17:14] <tomreyn> do you mean Kubuntu Linux 20.04 by chance?
[17:16] <tomreyn> this command will say what you're running   lsb_release -ds
[17:16] <tomreyn> this command will tell whether oyu already booted using the "nomodeset" parameter:   cat /proc/cmdline
[17:19] <theteju> Yes I am on ubuntu 20.04 LTS
[17:20] <theteju> tomreyn: no I am not booting using nomodeset, I checked with your parameter
[17:21] <theteju> So here is my question,, shoud I add,   "nomodeset" or should I add "nvidia-drm-modset=1"?
[17:21] <tomreyn> theteju: certainly not the latter, maybe nvidia-drm.modeset=1
[17:22] <tomreyn> are you using the proprietary nvidia drivers then, or nouveau?
[17:22] <theteju> My understanding is , adding "nomodeset" prevents it loading nvidia during boot process, but when display starts,, it sould load nvidia. Am I completely wrong?
[17:23] <theteju> tomreyn: I am using proprietary nvidia.
[17:24] <tomreyn> nomodeset prevents kernel mode setting, which (based on the little bit i think i know about the proprietary "nvidia" driver) should allow this user mode driver to load.
[17:24] <tomreyn> i don't think i'm the right person to help with this.
[17:25] <tomreyn> let me know if you are looking for help using open source drivers.
[17:25] <theteju> tomreyn : you are the only person helping me. :) I really appreciate it. please take a quick look https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j7p2ZZyzWS/
 @mythio, Go to virtual desktop settings and change the number of rows to 1
[17:26] <tomreyn> theteju: can't help there, good luck!
[17:26] <theteju> OK , no problem.
[17:43] <Xavi92> DarinMiller: someone commented on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876522 , suggesting the ubuntu repos should be the official source for the NVidia drivers
 @abhishekbatra, It is already 1
 @mythio, Do the same in desktop grid settings in desktop effects
 @abhishekbatra, Thanks! It worked
[19:37] <Shesh> Hi
[19:37] <Shesh> What is the keyboard shortcut for hot corner ?
[19:38] <Shesh> in 20.04
[20:14] <Shesh> I had to disconnect due to a restart request by an update process. If I may repeat the question
[20:14] <Shesh> Is there any shortcut available for hot corner in 20.04
 @Xavi92, I am not sure what is meant by the official PPA comment.
[20:29] <Xavi92> DarinMiller: he/she probably means the nvidia-driver-440 package should be downloaded straight from the Ubuntu repos instead of the graphics-drivers PPA
 I thought they meant this is the official ubuntu ppa: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
 Judging by the PPA description, I am fairly confident it is the official Ubuntu ppa.  I have been using it for years with nearly zero issues.
 did you try running: sudo apt install  nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-440
[20:40] <Xavi92> DarinMiller: no, but I'll try it later on
 👍

[21:34] <masonbee-M1> Well, I am about to bed but I have to say moving from 18.04 to 20.04 (new install and copy over what i wanted from backup) has got to be the easiest upgrade I have ever done. All the programs I wanted worked, it doesn't crash, I barely notice the difference except KDE is a little more together. This is a great release. Thank you KDE and the Kubuntu team.

 I have connected my laptop to my desktop via bluetooth to play laptop sound through desktop speakers.  Both devices running Kubuntu. Fairly straight forward using the built-in bluetooth.  Never tried TV to PC via bluethooth though....
