=== sheldon is now known as Guest58633 === sunn1 is now known as sunn [07:44] Good morning [07:46] Akashrao12345 was added by: Akashrao12345 [08:35] hi everyone! [08:37] 👋 [08:37] Hi. If I install a .deb file via the command … > Sudo apt install /path/file.deb … I am not able to execute the file via terminal. Someone knows why? [08:37] I have to manually install it via discover [08:38] If I just writr the name of the application on the terminal it says 'command not found' [08:38] Btw I am able to install it [08:54] If you have something that is not in the repo you need to use `dpkg -i ` to install it. [08:56] Unable to instal kubuntu after 70% it shows unable to intsal dev/mpxxxxxx etc fatal eror and setup end.. now my pc is also formated... help me [08:58] hey guys! Please have a look at my description of my problem below. Just ignore the Troll who made unhelpful comments. [08:58] lordievader: so after that I will be able to execute the file? [08:58] (Photo, 492x778) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/MwvFOmHm/file_29433.jpg [09:05] Franzpow, what file? dpkg installs the package. If the package comes with an executable, then yes you are able to execute that. [09:06] Linuxophil, have you tried `nomodeset`? [09:06] !nomodeset [09:06] Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. [09:21] lordievader: it's a game that I downloaded from github and yes, it comes with an executable [09:22] But I was surprised because I thought that it could run just installing it via sudo apt install === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [09:30] That works if the package is in the repos. [09:35] I'm trying to do an 'apt update' on 19.04. Says: E: The repository 'http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco Release' no longer has a Release file. [09:36] I also can't make an upgrade. Wanted to try to upgrade to 20.04 or 19.10 instead, but it tells me to first upgrade the 19.04 stuff, which I can't do. [09:40] Disco went EOL beginning of this year. [09:40] !eol [09:40] End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [09:42] lordievader: understood, thanks [09:46] Yes. So this explains why I can’t run 'apt upgrade'. [09:46] Now I wonder: how can I upgrade to 20.04 or at least 19.10? [09:47] The `do-release-upgrade` command replies with: Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading. [09:47] Which I can't do, as Disco is no longer available. [09:52] @AWizzArd, Ha! I had the same problem. Ended up reinstalling. [09:55] Mubarak was added by: Mubarak [09:55] AWizzArd: Did you read the EOLUpgrades wiki? [09:55] Hello every one [09:58] lordievader: ah okay thx, now I see it! [10:25] hiver1 was added by: hiver1 [10:25] Hello everyone [10:40] 👋 [10:49] How do I check my debian version. [10:50] This is (K)ubuntu... there is some relation to Debian (LTSes sync with testing IIRC), but furthermore... no real link. [11:32] Hiyas all === chunge is now known as chunge_ === chunge_ is now known as chunge [12:22] hello, which is the easiest way to play a Blu-ray on 18.04 ? [12:43] depends on your HW [12:44] @No -bin, lsb_release -a [13:18] @sigAIO, I tried that it tells release as 18.04.4 and debian doesn't have such a release (I think so). I was actually trying to get SM player without using command. It had option to download for debian 7, 9... etc. So wanted to know which debian is my kubuntu using. [13:19] kubuntu isn't debian [13:19] it is ubuntu [13:19] so it would give you a ubuntu release info [13:19] kubuntu = Ubuntu ie the KDE version of Ubuntu [13:20] smplayer is in "Discover" if you want to download it through the KDE/Store, or you could just: sudo apt install smplayer [13:34] Ok this is really confusing me. Like windows support .exe files, android support .apk files(I mean for software) kubuntu supports .deb files so is it not debian. Or it support other kinds also. [13:35] it is a derivative of debian [13:36] you can use deb files but install them with discover so it will be easier to remove if you need to [13:40] Discover sometimes have two versions of same app and I got confused which might be original like qbitorrent, shows two qbitorrent. So I go over to official website download .deb file and for removal I use muon package manager. [13:44] ok if you look at the app it tells you the source, ie snaps or ubuntu [13:45] either one is fine but I tend to use source: ubuntu-focal-universe [13:45] you find this by selecting the app you want and scroll down to the bottom and it tells you category, version, size, source... [13:47] so your best bet is to just do: sudo apt install packagename [13:47] that will pull from ubuntu repositories... if you find a newer stable version in snaps for example you would do: sudo snap install packagename === bruce is now known as Guest75349 === Guest75349 is now known as ChiGuy606 [13:49] Thanks man [13:49] anytime [13:50] @No -bin, here's a quick read: https://itsfoss.com/install-deb-files-ubuntu/ [14:59] hello [15:00] thunderbird on kubuntu doesn't start [15:00] help me please [15:00] Discover sometimes hav"> You really should prefer pulling things from the repo as opposed to manually installing. That way doing updates is much easier. [15:02] I can't start thunderbird [15:02] it is already installed [15:03] and I can't deinstall it [15:03] Does it give an error? [15:04] if i type thunderbird, it says that the system doesn't know this program [15:04] but if I want to install it, it says is already the newest version [15:08] What happens when you open a Konsole and issue `thunderbird`? [15:12] user|71993, check dolphin>view>hidden files to see if it's there (.thunderbird) [15:13] thunderbird --version [15:36] Hi. Is the Kubuntu support forum still active? [15:39] yes [15:39] Ok. Just making sure... [15:40] Btw, not sure if you guys are aware, but Kubuntu is the Distro of the week for BDL Live [15:41] If the main person behind Kubuntu is interested, we would be glad if he joined us Saturday at 8PM EST to talk about the 20.04 release [15:42] Good to hear, I had not seen the BDL Live post. [15:43] The Kubuntu maintainers are in Europe, so I am not sure if 8pm EST is good for them. [15:44] I know Alan Pope and Martin Wimpress join us for the stream when they get a chance... [15:44] Our Europe stream just happened last week. [15:44] But the invitation is open [15:46] darin I think I know you.... [15:51] hello [15:52] can't start or install thunderbird on kubuntu 20-04 [15:54] it shows me that thunderbird is installed [15:54] but I can't start, deinstall or installed it [15:54] it ist really weired [15:55] it looks too me, like a bug from kubuntu [15:56] try renaming your ~/.thunderbird directory [15:56] in what should I rename it? [15:57] .thunderbird_backup [15:57] oh, there is no thunderbird folder [15:58] its hidden by default (dots/periods at the beginning of the name are methods for "hiding" files and folders). [16:00] kubuntu is new installed, no thunderbird folder in hidden [16:00] If using a file manager, ctrl-h will toggle hidden files. On the command line ls -al ~ (or ll ~) should show all hidden files. [16:01] with ctrl- h, no thunderbird folder [16:02] there is no thunderbird in discover [16:03] if I want to install thunderbird on the comand line, it says that is already installed [16:03] but I type thunderbird, it says there is no thunderbird installed [16:06] That can happen if something has messed the binary, you can try to remove it and then reinstall it (apt purge/install) to eliminate that cause [16:07] I already tryed to deinstall it, but it says there is not such programm thunderbird [16:09] are you using apt? [16:10] sudo apt purge thunderbird [16:11] if apt is both telling you thunderbird is installed and that it is already installed, then you're in a pretty bad situation, but I've never seen anything like this. [16:12] I think it is a kubuntu bug [16:14] what is the result of the apt command from above? [16:15] BTW, I really need help setting up the locale, currently it's completely messed up and prevent some programs from working. [16:15] Using system settings does not seem to work at all. Are there other places in KDE to configure that? [16:17]

what locale do you want to choose ?

[16:17] wow, now suddenly it worked with the apt remove [16:17] i could remove it and installed it new [16:18] wow, don't know what happened [16:18] I tryed it 100 times [16:18] sorry, big thank you [16:18] thank very much [16:18] I think something messed up the binary/link, and since it was registered as installed the package manager did nothing [16:18] no worries [16:18]

System Settings > Regional Setting > Language [16:18] It works for me [16:19] * len-M sent a long message: < https://kde.modular.im/_matrix/media/r0/download/kde.modular.im/70272e8e6eb8af4fe754066cf2e5da6f02953b2a > [16:21] I think problems started because after install some the parameters where en_BE, which did not exist [16:22] thank thank very much [16:22] thanks for your help [16:22] goodbye [17:07] the k desktop environment is really cool [17:07] agreed :) === napoleon is now known as napoleon__ === napoleon__ is now known as Z3PhYR [17:15] hy all [18:53] lol " the k desktop environment is really cool" -- been a loooong time since I heard anyone say that [20:09] I am installing kubuntu 18.04 and its stuck at the "updates and software" screen [20:09] Any solution? [20:11] try use 20.04 instead, maybe that is solved there [20:24] I am going back from 20.04 to 18.04 [20:25] Had issues with compositor in 20.04 [21:16] R_Durand was added by: R_Durand [21:16] Il n'existe pas un forum kubuntu.fr ? === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [21:37] huh, Akonadi suddenly stopped here... On 20.04. Seems like mysqld stopped, anyone seen that before? [21:40] error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket' (2)' [22:11] I think akonadi 20.04 changed to postgres. Did you upgrade from 18.04? You may want to try reinstalling akonadi.... [22:13] It was a fresh install, but I did copy over some files from my old box [22:13] hmmmm, [22:13] perhaps I should delete the akonadi config and let that rebuild [22:19] @metab0y, Someone pls help with this 😢 [22:19] I've been stuck for a while now [22:26] Not a lot to go on there metab0y, is it possible for you to try to tickle out some more error messages? [22:46] Configuring Akonadi to use Pg seems to have solved my problem, thanks a lot DarinMiller! [22:58] need help repairing my hosed system. tried to upgrade from kubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 LTS, now the system won't boot. getting a bunch of RCU CPU stalls, that it never gets past. i created a live CD of my original system, just not sure how to mount and troubleshoot from the live USB. [22:59] i would prefer to attempt repairing vs restoring from backup [23:01] fairhb: usually what I do is from the terminal or konsole: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [23:02] and then sudo apt install -f (-a is for all, -f is for fix) [23:02] valorie: dpkg-reconfigure, will that work from the live USB, or do I need to be in a terminal from the system? [23:02] and every once in awhile as I go back and forth between those two commands [23:03] sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [23:03] terminal from the system if you can get to it [23:03] from a liveUSB you have to chroot in which is a lot more futzing [23:04] valorie: gotcha. yeah that is my problem. I can't get to a terminal session from the system. [23:04] :( [23:04] it is stuck in an endless loop [23:04] personally I would do a fresh install [23:04] that's fast and easy [23:04] and you do have backups [23:04] i created a live USB using systemback before trying the upgrade [23:05] um [23:05] have no clue if that's useful as a file backup [23:05] i can restore my system from it, which is what I am going to do. I agree I should have done a fresh install, but was trying to save some time [23:06] I mean, it takes time to install your applications again [23:06] well, I successfully upgraded from 19.10 [23:06] as did almost 100% of people here [23:07] very few problems reported so far [23:07] valorie: I have successfully upgraded from 18.04 all the way to 19.10. 19.10 to 20.04 is the first time it borked. [23:07] before reinstalling I might turn off the machine and check your CPU [23:08] and so badly that booting to debug won't work [23:08] :( [23:08] I just wonder if all of a sudden you have a hardware issue [23:08] loose cable, unseated memory, etc. [23:08] interesting you say that. the errors are CPU related, but I am able to boot from live USB no problem [23:09] odd [23:09] and do everything I was doing before. web-surfing, IRC, etc. [23:09] dunno what to say [23:09] i am actually IRCing from the live USB session on the same computer [23:09] heh [23:09] ok [23:09] so did you do the upgrade today? [23:09] shrug. better luck next time, then. thanks for chatting me through this. [23:09] yes [23:09] a couple of hours ago [23:10] and if so, did you do it via discover, or the CLI? [23:10] cli launched discover [23:10] ok [23:10] did you use the -d? [23:10] used update-manager [23:10] ah, ok [23:10] then I haven't a clue, sorry [23:11] all good. thanks. [23:11] either check out chrooting in [23:11] or .... [23:12] thanks for your help valorie [23:12] "help" [23:12] yw [23:13] fairhb, maybe it' something to do with the new kernel? [23:18] @RikMills Some months ago I poted on Ubuntu's Discourse a questiom regarding the distro upgrade notifier being absent on KDE, you can find the post here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/up-to-this-day-kubuntu-still-does-not-have-the-previously-removed-release-upgrade-notification/13038 … Back then, they told that it was still there but it was now different. Since then I didn't have time for really testing it. … I held [23:18] from upgrading to the new 20.04 version (from 19.10) to see if the upgrade notification pops up, but I still haven't seen that and a week has already passed since the 20.04 release (and do-release-upgrade no longuer needs the "-d" option). I know previous LTS users have to wait to the next point release, but I'm on 19.10. … I also did a fresh 19.10 installation on a VM and I couldn't see the notification. … Has that feature been removed? I [23:18] still remember that was present on Plasma 4 based Kubuntu versions. … I ask this question because it's weird that Kubuntu is apparently the only Ubuntu flavour that does not have a completely graphical way of updating to a new release. And I know that the instructions to upgrade are on the release announcement, but it can be a minor annoyance for some users (specially beginners). [23:32] @jorgetech_spacebiker fair point [23:32] I don't remember why the releases-upgrader disappeared [23:45] Cosme was added by: Cosme
