Guest_11hi there!04:15
Guest_11would appreciate some help for the installation of Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on a Zotac ZBOX HD-ND22. Its got a nVidia NEON chipset. The live DVD hangs when i reach the desktop choive between live system and installation option. Ive tried the server image and managed to install the Nvidia-340 drivers manually. This works, But i dont want he server04:20
Guest_11installation: Its funky in some other way. So my question is: how can i make the desktop installer avoid the GUI alltogether and do a anattended scripted installation, so i can install the nvidia drivers afterwards in in a console?04:20
Guest_11correction its nVidia ION chipset04:25

diogenes_!nomodeset04:49
ubottuSystems 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.04:49

viewer|31hello05:24
viewer|31can anyone solve mah prblm05:25
diogenes_!ask | viewer|3105:25
ubottuviewer|31: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience05:25
viewer|31so i want to copy something on usb ....bt its saying that you should have peremission05:27
viewer|31what should i do05:27
viewer|31and if i i want to install an package it ask for authentication password.......05:28
diogenes_viewer|31, what filesystem your usb drive has? i bet ext4? and of course it would ask for a password if you want to install something, it's not windows :)05:29
viewer|31but the team who gifted me this lppy.....didnot tell me anything about pass05:30
viewer|31its the situation for any usb05:30
diogenes_then ask the team to give you the password or reinstall the system.05:31
viewer|31they told that you cannot reinstall it for two years.....they are not giving me the pass.....without pass it is useless05:32
diogenes_viewer|31, then buy your own machine and do whatever you want and give this one back saying "thank you very much".05:33
viewer|31no i cant you cannot sold it for 2 years......i have another with windows .......but what about this one....it will become useless05:34
viewer|31if you have solution then try to help05:34
viewer|31i want the authentication password05:35
viewer|31-_- -_-05:35
viewer|31can anyone help me05:36
diogenes_if someone gave you the machine and set it up like this, it means they don't want you to mess with the system because by default there is no password needed for usb devices.05:36
diogenes_it means they did it on purpose.05:36
viewer|31if i have no authority over the machine then what to use....05:37
viewer|31i just want to reset the authentication pass05:38
diogenes_then just use the pre-installed applications, that's it.05:38
viewer|31can i not reset the pass05:38
diogenes_did they allow you to reset it?05:39
viewer|31yeah....think so....they said that you can install applications05:39
viewer|31=L05:40
diogenes_install applications doesn't mean reset password.05:40
viewer|31to install u hv to knw the pass05:40
viewer|31to knw the pass .....the only way is to reset it05:41
diogenes_so they just joke with you saying: yes you can install applications but we're not gonna give you the password? ou should have thought about a better story :)05:42
diogenes_you*05:42
IrcsomeBot<linuxophil> Hi viewer! As said before, we are here to help people understand how to use Kubuntu, not break the system that likely is not yours to break.05:43
IrcsomeBot<linuxophil> @diogenes_, LOL! Precisely!05:43
viewer|31that time i didnot know that linux is installed05:43
viewer|31or they will ask the pass05:44
IrcsomeBot<linuxophil> Why can you not ask now or at any time in the close future?05:44
viewer|31i dont want to break the system i just want to know is there any other method to install an app05:44
diogenes_viewer|31, you can use appimages, they don't require password.05:45
viewer|31can you explain05:45
diogenes_viewer|31, for instance if you need viber, you type in googe: viber aooimage download and you will find the package that ends in packageame,AppImage, and just right click on it > properties > permissions > mark as executable then just double click on it and voila!05:47

IrcsomeBot<Arthur 張> Kde connect question … When my android phone connects with Kubuntu 20.04, the android keyboard only shows English characters (I am using gBoard). … As I am a Chinese and need to input Chinese characters, which are double bytes, how to enable kde connect to output non English characters. … FYI: I am using google input method.12:25
IrcsomeBot<Arthur 張> Happy Friday12:26
IrcsomeBot<Arthur 張> I would like to ask how to set up kdeconnect so that I can type non English characters into a kubuntu 20.04 machine? … I am typing Chinese by using android google cantonese input method, which is downloadable from google play.12:28
proctrap@Arthur probably more a question for the KDE folks developing kde connect12:32

IrcsomeBot<redkuber> https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/04/ubuntu-20-04-fractional-scaling-support-setting similarly to this15:37
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Yes, System Settings -> Display and Monitor15:48
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> If your graphic card is AMD or Intel and you don't run games via WINE, try Wayland as the scaling works better under wayland.15:50
