IrcsomeBot1<homus32> This bug has been around for a long time00:51
IrcsomeBot1<homus32> How to fix this?00:52
Roeyhello01:56
Roeyanyone here? I'm unable to mount my external hard drive for some reason--I mount it, but when I look at the mount point, it is empty, and when I issue "mount", I don't see it listed at all.01:57
guivercRoey, you haven't said what release, but if you have issues, did you look for clues in `dmesg`  (when you mount at terminal messages are usually seen anyway; GUI tools tend to require searching in logs)02:16
Roeyguiverc: I did, yes02:16
Roeyno clue still02:16
Roeylatest release.02:17
guivercplease be specific (latest release), some users have differnet understandings to what I expect... does the partition show in blkid, is it clean?  (ie. if NTFS wasn't used on a fastboot enabled system, hibernated etc)02:18
Roeyguiverc: ok, specific:02:31
Roey1) lsblk shows the drive.  It is /dev/sdc (not /dev/sdc1)02:31
Roey2) when i try to mount -v /dev/sdc /backup, it says it's mounting it , yet I do not see it in the output of "mount" after that.02:31
Roey3) it's formatted for ext402:32
guivercnormally you're partitioning partitions (GPT & MBR tables) not drives. what *fs* is it02:32
Roeyext4.02:32
guivercwhat was it created on, why no partition table?02:32
RoeyI did mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc.02:33
guivercI wouldn't mount it, but likely look in KDE Partition Manager to see it checks out okay, or 'gparted`02:33
Roeyyeah, so /dev/sdc in gparted shows up as an 8TB ext4 volume.02:34
Roeythis is not an issue02:34
RoeyI have mounted this drive before.02:34
RoeyI do not understand hwy it is acting lfaky02:34
Roeyflaky*02:34
Roeyflakey *02:34
Roeywhen I try to moutn it this time.02:34
guivercsorry I can't help.. I don't have a like partitioned device (that I can think of) to try & look locally & play.. something doesn't feel right & I can't work out what i'm thinking02:37

IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @user|44107, You can download the new release iso and write the iso file to USB. Then boot via USB and select upgrade installation option. This way will also work.13:18
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Please take a backup before you try any method of upgrades.13:19
user|33365Hello14:51
user|33365Help me pls. I want to install kubuntu on a laptop stacked in bios. I only hve a usb14:52
woozaliaCan you boot off the USB stick?14:53
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> i connected my phone aux with my laptop, but  when i play music on my phone, my laptop isnt detecting aux15:54
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> music isnt plaing from my laptop15:55
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @SharGen19, Check the audio properties in desktop panel. If no audio device shown, run the hardware probe.15:58
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> If you have installed audio video codecs from other sources instead of repository, such problems are expected.16:00
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/e05RnrVv/file_37861.jpg16:00
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> its detecting16:00
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> but isnt playing?16:00
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Then it is probably codec issue.16:01
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Restart pc once.16:01
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> If still not working, 2 things you can do.16:03
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> If you are running codecs from main repository, open software manager and search audio video codec library and utilities. Select codec files which are not installed till date. Install them.restart. this will work.16:05
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/wvI7ZRZa/file_37863.jpg16:07
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> now its not detecting any input16:07
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Other method is to uninstall different 3rd party codecs installed by different software's(this may make make those software unusable). Then download packman codec package or vlc videolan player+codec package. Install them. Your issue will be resolved.16:08
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> uhm what should i uninstall?16:10
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @SharGen19, I told you earlier also try to install all required software from oss or non oss repository only. Otherwise you may face difficulty.16:10
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> @sammy_v, uhm i havent downloaded anything from any other repos16:11
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @SharGen19, Many games and other software install their own codec packs. This will mess up with default codecs.16:11
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> only conky that i uninstalled16:11
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Ok16:11
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> @sammy_v, so how i suppose to untill those? i dont know which all stuffs are installed? and how to remove it?16:12
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> I cannot help you more than this as I don't have access to your system.16:12
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @SharGen19, If you have not install any software from outside the kubuntu system. Then the problem lies somewhere else.16:13
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Codecs necessary to play most music containers and formats … ffmpeg … gstreamer-plugins-bad … gstreamer-plugins-libav … gstreamer-plugins-ugly … libavcodec58 … libavdevice58 … libavfilter7 … libavformat58 … libavresample4 … libavutil56 … vlc-codecs16:17
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Check if they are installed in your system or not.16:17
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Check system messages to diagnose error.16:19
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> E: Unable to locate package gstreamer-plugins-bad16:19
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Hmm check in package manager if it is there or not. Just reinstall it.16:20
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/xggWmO3x/file_37865.jpg16:21
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> @sammy_v, .16:21
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Ok then install all above codecs and vlc player.16:22
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/QPOr2cta/file_37866.jpg16:23
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> @sammy_v, i have vlc installed16:23
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> gstreamer-plugins-bad … gstreamer-plugins-libav … gstreamer-plugins-ugly16:24
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> these arent installed16:24
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Ok install the codecs only.16:24
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> but im unable to find specific packages16:24
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Search and select them in package manager. Hit install option.16:25
IrcsomeBot1<RikMills> @SharGen19, the gstreamer packages on ubuntu are prefixed gstreamer1.0.- instead of gtstreamer-16:26
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ElLCLKj8/file_37868.jpg16:26
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Ok use terminal16:26
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> $ sudo apt update16:27
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> @SharGen19, than which one should i install?16:27
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> $ sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras16:27
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Use this terminal commands.16:28

IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Accept16:29
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> No issue.16:29
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> uhm unable to16:30
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Since some of the codes are non oss and other support software is being installed, it is asking for permissions.16:30
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> yeah it fine, but when i click on ok nothing happening16:31
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> also when i click enter nothing16:31
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> press*16:31
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Press enter on keyboard after bringing the EULA window to forefront.16:31
IrcsomeBot1<SharGen19> uhm16:32
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Scroll the window till end and then it will accept your permission16:32

u19809HI all, I had a disk crash on a system where at startup I had a grub menu with linux and windows as options.  I downloaded the 20.04.1 ISO put it on a USB drive.  Next I rebooted and had two options : UEFI boot from my usb stick and non UEFI.  When selecting Non UEFI, system installed but grub does not detect windows.  When booting with UEFI, I get16:54
u19809the 'kubuntu' logo but nothing else happens.  Help !16:54
eeoshi everybody! Do you know what application creates the user smbguest on kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS?17:31
oerhekseeos, it must be you, editting /etc/samba/smb.conf17:35
oerhekshttps://www.debuntu.org/samba-how-to-share-files-for-your-lan-without-userpassword/17:35
eeosoerheks: well, unless I do it in my sleep .... that did not happen.17:36
eeosoerheks: after reading most of the manuals on samba, and having googled the problem oh so many times I still cannot share the content of one subdirectory using samba and now there is this user that is not removed even when I purge.17:37
eeosoerheks: there is the user smbguest, but not the group smbguest, and the groups sambashare, and sambamachine, but not the users .... that is a weird configuration to say the least.17:39
oerhekssmbpasswd -x <name> # userdel -r <name> # systemctl restart smbd17:39
eeosoerheks: yes, of course .... but the point is what package and what processes created that user and when17:40
eeosoerheks: (and why)17:40
oerheksyou did, smbguest is not a standard user17:40
eeosoerheks: users appearing out of nowhere are a potential breach in system security17:41
eeosoerheks: I definitvely did not .... one of the packages installed did either in preinstallation or in post.17:41
eeosoerheks: unless I have developed split personality in the last alf hour.17:41
eeosoerheks: happy to share my bash history for the last two hours, so you cn grep it.17:42
eeosoerheks: indeed, history | grep -i smbguest returns  2007  history | grep -i smbguest17:44
ChenHi18:14
Chenany antivirus recommended for kubuntu ?18:15
tuxakadjsebAn antivirus with GNU/Linux ? Why ?18:38
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @Chen, Clamav18:40
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> @tuxakadjseb, There are virus and malware hitting Linux systems also18:42
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> There are even PUA in Linux systems.18:42
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Potentially unwanted programs (PUP)18:43
tuxakadjsebSure ?18:47
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> Yes18:47
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> You can google about this...18:48
tuxakadjsebI know that it exists but I have no friends who have any virus with an GNU/Linux system.18:48
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> That is why each software package is signed by a unique key. Package manager stops installation if it is not matching...18:49
IrcsomeBot1<sammy_v> There is a possibility of PUP/malware/virus slipping in if user okays software with unidentified software keys.18:50

Guest_43I want to ask one question - I have relatively new notebook (buyed few months ago - Dell G17), but often (about once a week) during kubuntu 20.04 startup, there are filesystem errors, that needs to be corrected using fsck (on rotating disk, not ssd), which can cause that, or what I should check?21:03
tomreynGuest_43: hmm, this may actually suggest a broken disk. but this is just a wild guess for now. you can use     smartctl -x /dev/sdX     (replace the X!) to check its status.21:08

tomreynGuest_43: hmm, those look fine, except for the 3 g-sense errors.21:21
Guest_43yep :) also that this happens often to files, which were lastly in use - for example web browser cache files, or last time it was file, which was edited before shutting down21:22
Guest_43it is ext4 filesystem, in fstab mounted with default options21:23
tomreynGuest_43: hmm, have you modified the filesystem configuration to non default values, though?21:24
tomreyni.e. using tune2fs21:24
Guest_43no, i'm not aware of doing something like that21:25
tomreynand when you shut the system down, you do it from the kubuntu menu?21:25
tomreyni.e. you don't just push the power button on the computer, right?21:26
Guest_43yes, only proper way - system logs out, then I can hear disk to be turned off and after that system is shut down21:26
tomreynhmm, strange, i haven't heard of this. maybe ask in #ubuntu, too, there might be more people with a suggestion on what else to try. another option would be to just return the disk, requesting replacement,21:27
tomreyna bios update and disk firmware update could help, too21:28
Guest_43yes, I also can't found something similar - only problems with dualboot, but it is not this case :)  good point, i'm not updated bios/disk firmware21:30
tomreyni was considering dual boot also, but this would result in different problems than the ones you discussed21:31
