[06:24] <paolo_> Seems like in a wrong resolution
[06:27] <diogenes_> paolo_, run: xrandr | nc termbi.com 9999
[06:27] <diogenes_> share the url.
[06:27] <diogenes_> xrandr | nc termbin.com 9999

[06:31] <diogenes_> paolo_, is this the correct res? 1280x1024
[06:31] <paolo_> diogenes_: I started kubuntu ... something was worg cause the system froozed ... I forced a reboot and the OS started as would be a recovery mode
[06:32] <paolo_> diogenes_: I don't know but I see big window bog fonts with a loe resolution
[06:32] <paolo_> diogenes_: HOw can I check
[06:33] <diogenes_> paolo_, try now reboot one more time, better power off than reboot.
[06:33] <paolo_> I try
[06:36] <paolo_> diogenes_: same problem
[06:37] <diogenes_> paolo_, create a new user, log out and log back in as the new user.
 Sup
[06:45] <paolo_> diogenes_: is the same ... the worng resolution/recoverymode appears already in log in screen
[06:46] <diogenes_> paolo_, when you reboot, keep shift key pressed down and pick normal boot and not recovery, see if that helps.
[06:47] <paolo_> I 'll try
[06:51] <paolo_> diogenes_: I restart the system NOT in recovery mode but same resolution problem
[06:52] <paolo_> really big trouble
[06:53] <diogenes_> paolo_, ok now let's see: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999

[07:17] <diogenes_> Applica
[07:18] <paolo_> done
[07:19] <paolo_> Need I to reboot?
[07:19] <diogenes_> turn off PC completely then start.
[07:31] <rory> Anyone?
[07:31] <diogenes_> !ask
[07:35] <paolo_> diogenes_: restarted ...but the OS went in no graphical mode
[07:36] <paolo_> Now I'm from another device
[07:36] <paolo_> cause in the other I'm only from line commnad
[07:36] <diogenes_> paolo_, ok so you can access command line there?

[07:37] <diogenes_> do you see this one? xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[07:37] <diogenes_> just tell me
[07:38] <diogenes_> and this one too: libdrm-nouveau2
[07:40] <paolo_> Warning apt doesn't have a a stable CLI interface
[07:41] <diogenes_> and after that ?
[07:41] <paolo_> list not valid operation
[07:42] <paolo_> I've tried also startx
[07:43] <diogenes_> paolo_, ok i'll give you 2 command and i'll have to go for like 40 min and if it doesn't fix your issue then ping me when i'm back or maybe someone else could help while i'm away
[07:43] <diogenes_> so the commands are:
[07:43] <diogenes_> sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-core
[07:44] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:44] <diogenes_> systemctl reboot
[07:44] <diogenes_> that's it, good luck.

[08:52] <paolo_> I'm thonking to try with a live session ...
[08:52] <diogenes_> paolo_, do you have internet connection there?
[08:52] <paolo_> sure
[08:52] <diogenes_> ok then let's try to re-install nvidia.
[08:52] <paolo_> Im talknig right now and the broken device is wired
[08:54] <paolo_> the problem is I cannot copy and paste so I ve to read from laptop and retype to other device
[08:54] <diogenes_> paolo_, don't worry the commands are not difficult.
[08:54] <paolo_> I was wondering if is the case to try with a new live image
[08:55] <diogenes_> it won't give you much.
[08:55] <paolo_> now I'm tty1
[08:55] <paolo_> I've to log in
[08:55] <paolo_> ?
[08:55] <diogenes_> yes login with your username and password
[08:56] <paolo_> done
[08:56] <diogenes_> run this: sudo apt install -f
[08:58] <paolo_> 0 updated, 0 installed, 0 to remove, 0 not updated
[08:58] <diogenes_> paolo_, now run: sudo ubuntu-drivers list
[08:59] <paolo_> list of nvidia driver: 440, 340, 435, 390
[09:00] <diogenes_> ok is there anyone marked as recommended?
[09:00] <paolo_> 340 is nvidia the other nvidia-drivers
[09:01] <diogenes_> ok then do: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[09:01] <diogenes_> and notice what does it install.
[09:03] <paolo_> very long output
[09:03] <paolo_> let me check
[09:03] <diogenes_> just check the nvidia driver version
[09:05] <paolo_> 440
[09:05] <diogenes_> ok
[09:08] <paolo_> yes is 440
[09:08] <diogenes_> ok also notice if there are going to be any errors.
[09:10] <paolo_> mmm How can I navigate thorught terminal
[09:10] <paolo_> cause with up and down he reytpe the last cmd
[09:10] <paolo_> but from a general outlook seems ok
[09:11] <diogenes_> the errors will be shown when it's done installing usually at the end.
[09:11] <paolo_> no errors then
[09:12] <diogenes_> ok then if it's done, type: systemctl reboot
[09:13] <paolo_> still command line mode
[09:13] <paolo_> shit
[09:13] <paolo_> aking fir a login
[09:13] <paolo_> asking for a log in
[09:14] <diogenes_> ok login and try: startx
[09:14] <paolo_> WOW

[09:16] <paolo_> nope
[09:16] <diogenes_> ok then ctrl+alt+f1
[09:16] <diogenes_> login
[09:17] <paolo_> nothing
[09:17] <diogenes_> then keep the power button til it shots down.
[09:18] <paolo_> I'm suspecting hardware problems now
[09:18] <diogenes_> could be.
[09:19] <paolo_> now Im again in a terminal mode
[09:19] <diogenes_> ok now run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
[09:19] <paolo_> logged in and starts
[09:19] <diogenes_> notice any errors
[09:19] <paolo_> but still frozing
[09:20] <diogenes_> you shouldn't have to go to startx, restart again to the commandline.
[09:20] <paolo_> done ..but same situation of before
[09:21] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
[09:21] <paolo_> blocked in th same way with same winndows
[09:21] <paolo_> I have to restart in a command line
[09:21] <paolo_> ?
[09:22] <diogenes_> yes and don't run startx but the command i gave you.
[09:22] <paolo_> yep
[09:23] <paolo_> sddm is damaged or not completely installed
[09:24] <diogenes_> sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm
[09:24] <paolo_> what's sddm is?
[09:25] <diogenes_> the display manager that starts xorg and also provides the login dialog.
[09:25] <paolo_> by the way done
[09:25] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
[09:26] <paolo_> done
[09:26] <diogenes_> systemctl reboot
[09:27] <paolo_> now it s ok
[09:28] <paolo_> I don't how to thanx you
[09:28] <paolo_> but what's happen
[09:28] <diogenes_> doesn't freeze?
[09:28] <paolo_> nop
[09:28] <diogenes_> now write down all the command so if it ever happens to you again, you know what to do.
[09:29] <diogenes_> what happens it's all because the nvidia driver broke.
[09:29] <diogenes_> that's why i never use nvidia.
[09:30] <paolo__> So hwat your suggestion
[09:31] <diogenes_> my suggestion is to use nouveau driver but only if it your card is well supported by nouveau, otherwise you got no choice but to use nvidia driver.
[09:37] <paolo__> just a a favor ahve the list of the command?
[09:38] <diogenes_> paolo__, what?
[09:38] <paolo__> cause I close the device where I was typing to switch in the other deivce
[09:38] <paolo__> the command u gave me to fix
[09:38] <diogenes_> sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm
[09:38] <diogenes_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
[09:39] <paolo__> and for to reintall invidia dirvers
[09:39] <diogenes_>  sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[09:39] <paolo__> sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm
[09:40] <paolo__> really I appreciate your help
[09:40] <diogenes_> no problem

[11:09] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[16:18] <blues> Hello

[16:20] <blues> 5.18.5
[16:20] <blues> when will update to 5.19?
[16:50] <paolo_> hello
[16:51] <paolo_> what's sw do u use to back up system ... what's the best in your opinion
[16:53] <Dragnslcr> I've used rdiff-backup in the past. Now I just have everything important on a zfs file system that I sync to an external disk.
[17:12] <paolo_> Dragnslcr: I ìm looking for something very easy but rock solid like deja dup or time shift
[17:15] <paolo_> diogenes_: my friends... can u suggest me a rock solid and simple back up program for kubunut
[17:19] <diogenes_> paolo_, i always backup to the cloud but i've heard deja dup is good.
[17:20] <paolo_> diog
[17:20] <paolo_> diogenes_:  mee too moslty I use mega but I mean for the system file
[17:21] <paolo_> I'm watching this ine : https://www.fosslinux.com/8219/kde-kup-backup-tool-automate-version-and-sync-type-backup-of-your-files.htm
[17:38] <paolo_> I've a NAS connected to the hub how can I open it in kubuntu
[17:49] <diogenes_> Jaladhi Trivedi, does it show anything in network manager?
[17:49] <Abeiis> Hi, I am new to Kubuntu, and I would like to get a better idea of its structure and capabilities - Is it an OS that can run Windows Apps via emulation, or is it an independent OS that has its own Apps Store, or both? I love to see an OS that can run Windows Apps so it can take us through a transition period and free us from the overhead of processe
[17:49] <Abeiis> s that forcing us and demanding more powerful systems without a real benefit of speed or security... Thank You.
[17:52] <diogenes_> Abeiis, both.
[17:54] <Abeiis> excellent - so just to confirm, it does have an APP store right? is that included in the OS when installed? and is there a PDF that help us to install it on a USB drive?
[17:56] <diogenes_> benvantende-M, there is app store yes and there are many tutorials on how to install.
[17:56] <diogenes_> sorry Abeiis ^^^
[17:59] <benvantende-M> LOL thanks for letting me know 😄
[17:59] <diogenes_> :)
[17:59] <paolo_> HOw can open my NAs on kubuntu?
[17:59] <paolo_> I ve nas connected to the router
[18:00] <paolo_> BUt Iìnot able to oopen it with dolphin
[18:06] <paolo_> Ni help?
[18:07] <diogenes_> paolo_, try ask in #networking
 @paolo_, try using the IP address of your router in dolphins search line, i.e. smb://192.168.x.x
[18:12] <Abeiis> Thank you - I looked at the ISO image but did not find a tutorial documentation where I expected it, but I will search for it, Thanks!
