[00:37] <linux_> hey
[00:38] <linux_> hi
[02:37] <emadeddin_> hi
[02:37] <emadeddin_> How can I log in as root? I have a root password
[02:39] <krytarik> !root
 yes root
[02:41] <krytarik> Well, that is to indicate if you didn't do anything special, you only got the admin password of your regular user - with that you could do "sudo -i" though.
 I created the password via sudo passwd root
[02:42] <krytarik> Well, there you go then - enjoy it!
[02:43] <krytarik> (Entirely unsupported and unadvisable.)
[02:43] <emadeddin_> How do I log in? What is my username?
[02:45] <emadeddin_> I want to learn to login root
[02:46] <emadeddin_> I logged out the system, then what other users should I enter there?
[02:48] <emadeddin_> In Linux Mint, I had full access to the root folder by right-clicking.
[03:23] <guiverc> emadeddin_, you should login as root with a GUI, root login has potential problems, and when needed should be terminal only (using `sudo` to temporarily elevate permissions is safer).  Root using wayland for example is impossible (by design to increase security)
 How much swap for 16gb ram?
 @YesEyeCan, 4 gb
 Thanks
 how to restore KDE default settings
 ?
[06:02] <Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<DirhamTriyadi> ?"> well, in most panels of the settings app, at the bottom (left?) of each panel, you will see a "Restore Default Settings' button that restores the default setting for that particular panel
[06:04] <Dave[m]6> <guiverc "emadeddin_, you should login as "> if you need a longer-term access as root, you can open a terminal window and execute the command "sudo su". Then you'll be root until you type the command "exit"
 I'm getting  ```Executing grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 failed```
 When trying to install from USB
 And dualboot windows
[06:57] <Dave[m]6> it's difficult to help you with so little information..... do you manage to run a live session?
 Uh, it exited me
 i386-pc/normal.mod not found grub rescue
 Now I'm getting this
 I think I'll just nuke the entire drive
[07:02] <Dave[m]6> you don't usually need to nuke your Windows....
 How do I fix this then? It installed on my laptop but my PC just won't let it work
 First time I tried, it also failed installing. I can see grub menu but windows will not boot. I fixed that. Tried installing again, and this happened
[07:06] <Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<YesEyeCan> How do I fix this th"> Well, it's difficult to advise you with the information we have.... Do you manage to nun a live session from your usb stick without actually installing?
 Yes
[07:07] <Dave[m]6> ok, well that's a first achievement.... have you used kubuntu before?
 Yeah. I've installed it on my laptop no problem, dual booting windows
 But my PC that I build got these errors
[07:10] <Dave[m]6> is your Windows installation essential to you? Maybe you can install kubuntu, and manually partition your hard drive to leave space for Windaws , and then install Windows later...?
 Uh I can do that?
[07:12] <Dave[m]6> yes, during the Kubuntu installation process, you will get the option to manually partition your drive... you can create one partition for kubuntu and one partition forWindows
 Will I get any problems in the future if I do that? Since I'm not sure why Kubuntu is all of a sudden giving me these errors
[07:15] <Dave[m]6> in my experience, you won't have problems.... the only complication might be when you install windows, because after the Windows installation you might not see your grub menu (Windows is responsible for that) and then you will need to fix the grub ment (it can be done without too much trouble)
 Yeah I can fix the grub menu after windows updates
 https://askubuntu.com/questions/655011/windows-10-upgrade-kills-grub-and-boot-repair-doesnt-help
 This one right?
[07:19] <Dave[m]6> that way, you will have your kubuntu up and running...
 Alright thanks, I'll try that
[07:20] <Dave[m]6> well that post is long out of date, so things won't necessarily be like that....
[07:20] <Dave[m]6> things have advanced since then, and kubuntu/ubuntu is much more robust
 Any way to set up from Windows's own dual boot menu?
[07:21] <Dave[m]6> good luck, i might still be around later if you have questions/problems
[07:22] <Dave[m]6> not as far as i know, and i've installed Kubuntu/Windovs dual boot much more recently
[07:23] <Dave[m]6> King Windows doesn't do its own dual boot menu
[07:24] <Dave[m]6> you need to think about whether to configure your bios for uefi boot or legacy boot..... uefi boot can be more complicated but it's the only way to get Windows and Kubuntu both bootable at the same time, because Windows will only install under uefi boot
[07:26] <Dave[m]6> with the problems you were having so far, i'm tempted to think that it's your bios that needs proper configuring....
 I think I'm already under UEFI. I used RUFUS to install onto my USB and it did ask me to use MBR instead of GPT
[07:38] <Dave[m]6> check your bios setup by rebooting and pressing <F2>
[08:17] <darknesssfalls64> does anybody  know of a good  printer for kubuntu 20.04?
 @darknesssfalls64, HP of course
[08:18] <darknesssfalls64> where?
[08:18] <darknesssfalls64> amazon?
[08:25] <tuxakadjseb> HP from No Amazon or another GAFAM ;-)
[08:42] <dragon__> hi, i have line tearing problem
[08:42] <dragon__> on vlc wideo
[08:42] <dragon__> anyone have any idea how to solve the issue?
 Should I have installed EFI partition FIRST before all other partitions?
 Okay so apparently I should've done that first
[09:44] <perr-paranoic> Hi!
[10:23] <user|73892> I tried upgrading from kubuntu 18LTS to 20LTS. I got the "could not calculate the upgrade" error and I don't know what I need to do with ppa-purge now.
[10:26] <Maik> disable or remove the ppa's you added and perform the upgrade again
[10:35] <user|73892> do I have to purge the installed packages as well, or does disabling the repos in synaptic suffice?
 i upgraded to groovy , but i thought it would support Finger print Login , does any one know any package that supports FP rather than Fprint

[11:35] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:37] <Guest86611> Hello, which is better, ubuntu or manjaro?
[11:40] <BluesKaj> Guest86611, you're asking for an opinion in a Kubuntu support channel, what kind of amswer do you think you'll get here ? :-)
[11:40] <Maik> Guest86611: as always, it's a matter of personal taste, there is no better
[11:40] <BluesKaj> answer
[11:41] <Maik> Guest86611: try them both from a live usb session and then decide$
[11:42] <Maik> also, it's something that belongs in a offtopic channel since it's not a support related question
[11:42] <Guest86611> manjaro has constantly updated software packages
[11:42] <Guest86611> and there is no ubuntu
[11:42] <Maik> Guest86611: join #kubuntu-offtopic please
[11:43] <Maik> and continue there
[11:44] <Guest86611> but it does have snap packets for it
[11:44] <Guest86611> ok, thanks :)
 Okay I was wrong, the problem is still there
 After updating windows, I immediately get pushed to GRUB rescue

 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/aLh06w7x/file_38201.jpg Hi, ever since I upgraded to 20.10 my plasma shell doesn't display some components. do you know how to solve this one?
 @Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<YesEyeCan> After updating windo", Hi dave, I fixed it. Made an ISO from a more recent windows version and everything installed perfectly
[15:04] <Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<YesEyeCan> @Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeB"> glad to hear you got past the problem.... so you have kubuntu and windows successfully booting on your system now?
[15:10] <franzopow[m]> I was trying to upgrade and I got an error
[15:10] <franzopow[m]> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xZ6M2jbwzZ/
[15:10] <franzopow[m]> I upgraded from 20.04 to 20.10
[15:10] <franzopow[m]> can anyone help?
 @Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<YesEyeCan> @Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeB", Yeap. All is well again
[15:16] <Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeBot "<YesEyeCan> @Dave[m]6> <IrcsomeB"> Cool, enjoy ;-)
[15:30] <Dave[m]6> <franzopow[m] "can anyone help?"> sorry, i have to pass on that one.... did you make changes to your python over the past months? like install a new version from a ppa or something?
[15:32] <franzopow[m]> maybe... I installed some software using python 3
[15:33] <franzopow[m]> this is the sources list
[15:33] <franzopow[m]> https://termbin.com/l1c6
[15:40] <Dave[m]6> <franzopow[m] "https://termbin.com/l1c6"> i don't see any python-related ppa there.... how are you upgrading? have you tried just executing 'sudo do-release-upgrade' from the command line?
[15:42] <Dave[m]6> often, i like to keep my kubuntu disposable, by regularly backing up my data, and then i just do a fresh installation instead....
[15:42] <stryker> I like making my own distros w/ PinguyBuilder
[15:47] <franzopow[m]> <Dave[m]6 "often, i like to keep my kubuntu"> wow that woudl take a lot of time.. btw I am doing do-release-upgrade
[15:47] <Dave[m]6> ppa's can make it complicated to upgrade to a new version...
[15:47] <stryker[m]7> ?
[15:48] <Dave[m]6> <stryker "I like making my own distros w/ "> got a link for that? i'm curious
[15:49] <Dave[m]6> PinguyBuilder.... where do you get it?
[15:49] <stryker[m]7> https://sourceforge.net/projects/pinguy-os/files/ISO_Builder/
[15:49] <stryker[m]7> It's a fork of Remastersys
[15:49] <franzopow[m]> can the problem be in do-release-upgrade command?
[15:50] <Dave[m]6> <franzopow[m] "wow that woudl take a lot of tim"> in reality, it doesn't take so much more time than upgrading.... especially when you run into complications.... anyway, you're always supposed to back up your data regularly, right?
[15:50] <franzopow[m]> yes. I've done that luckily
[15:51] <Dave[m]6> i don't think so.... but using multiple ppa's can make the equation very complicated....
[15:52] <Dave[m]6> see the time you're spending now? ultimately, it could be simpler just to nuke and reinstall....
[15:52] <franzopow[m]> <Dave[m]6 "see the time you're spending now"> I would like to avoid that
[15:52] <BluesKaj> franzopow[m], sometimes new official releases don't respond to the sudo do-release-upgrade command without the -d flag
[15:52] <franzopow[m]> that was my approach always.
[15:53] <Dave[m]6> then you can go with your ppa's again.... if you're going to use ppa's, my policy is to stick with an LTS release...
[15:53] <franzopow[m]> <BluesKaj "franzopow, sometimes new officia"> because they are searching for LTS releases?
[15:53] <franzopow[m]> <Dave[m]6 "then you can go with your ppa's "> I could. Looks like this failed upgrade didn't harm my system
[15:53] <franzopow[m]> but I still have to restart it...
[15:54] <Dave[m]6> 😉 you might feel differently in a few hours....
[15:54] <BluesKaj> yes,franzopow[m] that too, switch to "normal" in discover upgrade settings
[15:54] <franzopow[m]> <BluesKaj "yes,franzopow that too, switch t"> I've done that. Otherwise I wasn't able to upgrade and get the error
[15:54] <franzopow[m]> <Dave[m]6 "😉 you might feel differently in"> damn
[15:55] <BluesKaj> franzopow[m], well, try sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[15:56] <Dave[m]6> <franzopow[m] "damn"> been there, seen it, felt the pain :-)
[15:57] <stryker[m]7> grrrr.... mozilla still hasn't verified ruffle
[16:01] <Dave[m]6> <stryker[m]7 "https://sourceforge.net/projects"> interesting...
[16:02] <franzopow[m]> @BluesKaj I've modified /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade already+
[16:02] <franzopow[m]> BluesKaj:
[16:20] <franzopow[m]> is that the same?
 So I logged into Kubuntu and realized the resolution is stuck at 800x640, no other options available in display settings
 Xrandr shows it as *default instead of HDMI
 I am using a 2070 Super GPU
 Already updated everything
 CPU is R5 3600 so no iGPU
 Anyone got an idea?
[17:15] <franzopow[m]> tried to launch the command with sudo
[17:15] <franzopow[m]> but I had no luck
[17:18] <franzopow[m]> btw the system didn't break
[17:20] <swift110> oh cool
[17:21] <franzopow[m]> yes but now I am in a limbo
[17:21] <franzopow[m]> and I don't know what to do..
[17:35] <franzopow[m]> why I haven't those old focal sources anymore?
[17:36] <franzopow[m]> I mean when I update I don't have the old sources anymore. Looks like it disabled them while trying to update to groovy
[17:36] <franzopow[m]> but I see that those are already enabled rn on sources.list
[17:54] <Wenz> hi
[18:09] <user|31016> Hi, is there a way to setup a wireless repeater with the network gui ?
[18:27] <Dave[m]6> <franzopow[m] "why I haven't those old focal so"> This is my guess: maybe because there is not a version compatible with 20.10? (So you'd have to wait a while until the developer catches up?)
[18:29] <franzopow[m]> I have no 20.10 right now
[18:29] <franzopow[m]> The update didn't work
[18:29] <franzopow[m]> So I am still stuck with 20.04
