[01:01] <Steampunk_Sam> Hello, Im very new to Linux in general, was wondering if there are any simple gui based backup utilities available that are able to copy files in use? Have been running Cobain backup on windows for years, backs up directories incrementally with directory & file type based exclusions to FTP removing older backups as it does so, Open to all
[01:01] <Steampunk_Sam> suggestions!
[01:03] <Steampunk_Sam> Running Kubuntu 20.04.1 at present
[01:46] <fructose> Steampunk_Sam: If you search for "incremental backup" software for Linux, there are a few options. I don't use them enough to make a useful recommendation though.
[02:07] <tyrind2> does anybody know what are some good high durable high definition headphones?
[07:16] <YuxKukMo> hi there! is the latest lts version(20) been released ?
[07:17] <YuxKukMo> because i can't upgrade from 18.0.4 lts to 20 lts
[07:17] <YuxKukMo> i tried running pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE but nothing happend
[07:19] <jhunold> Moin!
[07:31] <jhunold> YuxKukMo: LTS upgrade will be available with 20.04.01 scheduled for tomorrow.
[07:32] <YuxKukMo> jhunold: i see
[07:33] <YuxKukMo> better to wait then
[07:34] <YuxKukMo> hope that i didn't broke my system if i used sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[07:35] <YuxKukMo> gave me some errors, but i'll wait until the lts version is released
[08:01] <guiverc> jhunold, FYI:  tomorrow is the 20.04.1 ISO release date, the 'taps' for upgrades occur AFTER that date, not on the date (eg next week if all goes well)
 @DarinMiller so far so good. Firefox did not crash using their version from the FF website
 I am still testing it but maybe the issue is gone
[11:17] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[11:20] <user|51200> Hi everyone
[11:21] <user|51200> Hi everyone. Recently I've acquired a Lenovo IdeaPad s540 with an Intel Graphics Card.
[11:21] <BluesKaj> hi user|51200
[11:21] <user|51200> I installed Linux Mint 19 and Kubuntu 20 in two times.
[11:22] <user|51200> With both of the operating systems the HDMI plug does not outputs signal
[11:22] <user|51200> I'd checked the cable and the screen monitor separatelly
[11:23] <user|51200> I'm tying to solve this problem via driver installaction, but the driver website recommended by intel (which is 01.org) seems not to host the drivers page linked from Intel website
[11:23] <diogenes_> user|51200, run: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep intel
[11:23] <user|51200> ¿Does anyone has experienced the same issues, and solved them?
[11:23] <diogenes_> do you get any output?
[11:23] <user|51200> No, does not produces any output
[11:24] <diogenes_> user|51200, ok now let's see your xorg log entirely: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:24] <diogenes_> share the url.
[11:24] <user|51200> I can pastbin the output without the grep
[11:25] <user|51200> Published!
[11:25] <diogenes_> copy the url from terminala nd paste here.
[11:25] <diogenes_> and*
[11:26] <user|51200> https://termbin.com/df0j
 @DarinMiller, How to check current video driver version?
[11:27] <diogenes_> user|51200, now: ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ | grep intel
[11:27] <diogenes_> any output?
[11:28] <BluesKaj> @liberatorf For the driver in use :
[11:28] <BluesKaj>  lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' , include the quotes
[11:28] <user|51200> No output
[11:29] <user|51200> Kernel driver in use: i915
[11:29] <diogenes_> user|51200, ok we can try and use intel driver instead of the modesetting run: apt search intel | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:29] <diogenes_> share the url.
[11:30] <user|51200> https://termbin.com/rrb7
[11:31] <user|51200> ( Intel is a bad "term", cause produces a lot of matches with longer terms )
[11:31] <user|51200> ¿Why don't try with "Intel®" separatelly?
[11:32] <diogenes_> user|51200, ok now: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[11:33] <user|51200> Tried a day ago.. but i'll give a new try
[11:33] <user|51200> Installation completed
[11:33] <user|51200> May I reboot?
[11:33] <diogenes_> now: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[11:34] <user|51200> The folder xorg.conf.d does not exist
[11:34] <user|51200> Must create it?
[11:34] <diogenes_> yes
[11:35] <user|51200> ok, editing
[11:35] <diogenes_> ok in there paste the following: https://dpaste.com/8NSCKNFRH
[11:36] <user|51200> Done
[11:36] <diogenes_> now to doulble check: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[11:36] <diogenes_> see if the output matches the link.
[11:37] <user|51200> It matches
[11:38] <user|51200> @diogenes_ still there?
[11:38] <diogenes_> user|51200, or reboot time.
[11:39] <user|51200> And xorg will process that file?
[11:39] <diogenes_> user|51200, it has to :) otherwise will will force it to.
[11:40] <user|51200> Ok, i'll give a try. Thank you very much. Hope coming back after reboot with good news
[11:40] <user|51200> Cheers
[11:40] <diogenes_> ok
[11:41] <failed-intel-hdm> Hi again diogenes_
[11:42] <failed-intel-hdm> still now working
[11:42] <failed-intel-hdm> ¿Have you got any other idea?
[11:42] <diogenes_> failed-intel-hdm, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep intel
[11:42] <diogenes_> any output?
 (Photo, 1280x453) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/6pIoksB0/file_34413.jpg How can i fix this and return to proprietary drivers?
[11:43] <failed-intel-hdm> Is returning output
[11:43] <failed-intel-hdm> want me to paste?
[11:43] <diogenes_> ok paste it.
[11:44] <failed-intel-hdm> https://termbin.com/refj

[11:49] <diogenes_> failed-intel-hdm, how new is your PC?
[11:56] <corenot> hi
[12:00] <BluesKaj> hi corenot
[13:19] <Guest_21> Hi All
[13:19] <Guest_21> I need your help
[13:20] <Guest_21> how to change ubuntu 18 gui from xfce to gdm3
[13:20] <Guest_21> please help me
[13:25] <diogenes_> Guest_21, what?????
[13:25] <diogenes_> is that a joke.
[13:27] <BluesKaj> hehe
[13:27] <Guest_21> when I logged into the xrdp I am getting xfce gui
[13:27] <Guest_21> need to change it gdm3
 @DarinMiller, I am still having problems with installation nvidia 340, from terminal i got an error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
 From manager this: … new nvidia-340 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 (313)
 If i change nvidia to intel primary, kubuntu doesn't boot
[15:42] <BluesKaj> @liberatorf, did you change it in the uefi/bios as well?
 hello anyone help plz i did a kernel update  … 5.4 to 5.8 now my wifi card not detecting in new kernel
 rtl8821ce
 New kernels are notorious for breaking wifi.  Not sure where/how to report a kernel bug.
 (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/0L6LWFZS/file_34445.jpg after that if i  try to install anything this is showing  , and i again booted with 5.4 kernel and wifi card detecting  . how can i remove 5.8 kernel?
 can I delete the folder /log/journal? it is starting to be really heavy 4gb+
[17:42] <viewer|66> For several days Kubuntu forums seems to be "down"? any ideas what is occurring?
[17:51] <user|3271> Any advantage in fresh install of Kubuntu VS starting with Ubuntu and later changing desktop?
 Sometimes hunting down conflicts with overlapping packages (such as network managers) can be challenging as multiple apps will be fighting for the same resources.   I have not attempted for a few years, but that was my experience a few years back.
 A vm would help determine most of the issues except something like wifi connections since the network is virtualized.
[18:51] <tomreyn> viewer|66: is https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum.php still not working for you?
[19:53] <viewer|66> #tomreyn no it is still saying error 503 service not working
[21:00] <Roey> hihi
[21:01] <Roey> got a question on mounting a USB drive:  it gives no visible error when I mount the external drive with "mount", but I don't see evidence that it actually did it.
[22:15] <valorie> Roey: you mean that the device manager doesn't see it?
[22:15] <valorie> does it show up in dolphin?
[22:16] <valorie> does `mount` list it?
[22:16] <valorie> etc.
[22:20] <gnoob> also probably a good idea to post the exact command being issues.
[22:20] <gnoob> issued
[22:22] <Roey> valorie: I mean on the command line, using the mount command to display mounted drives, I do not see it listed.
[22:22] <valorie> hmmm, weird
[22:23] <valorie> you you can't umount it
[22:23] <Roey> i looked for errors with dmesg or /etc/syslog
[22:23] <Roey> don't think I found any
[22:23] <valorie> I had that happen with a thumb key I had
[22:24] <valorie> tested it on a couple of other machines and found out it had died
[22:24] <Roey> I do sudo mount /var/sdc /backup, and yet /backup is not mounted
[22:25] <valorie> the other issue can be a damaged or dirty USB on your machine
[22:25] <Roey> hmm.  ok.
[22:25] <valorie> they don't last forever, I've found
[22:25] <valorie> same with USB cables
[22:26] <Roey> valorie: well I just tried it with 2 usb cable
[22:26] <Roey> cables
[22:26] <Roey> got the same behavior.
[22:28] <oerheks> sure it is sdc, not sdc1 ?
[22:28] <valorie> so try on a different machine?
[22:29] <gnoob> won't that happens sometimes if you try to mount it somewhere like the temp folder?
[22:29] <gnoob> it won't really mount.
[22:30] <oerheks> manual mounts in /mnt/, auto in /media/
[22:48] <Roey> valorie: yeah
[22:48] <Roey> valorie: see when I reboot it goes away
[22:48] <Roey> for a bit
[22:48] <Roey> then it comes back
[22:48] <valorie> oh weirdness
[22:49] <valorie> does logging in and out do the same thing?
[22:49] <valorie> short term cure?
[22:49] <valorie> still unclear whether it's a software issue or failing hardware though
[22:50] <valorie> and I dunno how to pin that down
[22:51] <Roey> valorie: I don' know
[22:51] <Roey> I tried cfdisk but it was wonky on me, asking me to select for that disk a disk type
[22:51] <Roey> so I did smartctl
[22:52] <Roey> it's running a test now on it.
[22:52] <Roey> maybe I'll turn it of fand turn it on again
