[00:02] <IrcsomeBot1> <Tolga Erok> Unable to connect to windows shared printers. Kubuntu 20.04
[06:11] <Quantos> Hi, KUbuntu 20.04 LTS x64 - when I partition and format a drive why do I then have to take ownership of it?
[06:11] <Quantos> That should be part and parcel of partitioning and formatting
[06:13] <Quantos> For some reason the drives belong to root, I don't really want to do this for every drive
[06:15] <Quantos> The same thing happens whether I tried KDE Partition Manager or GParted
[06:17] <diogenes_> that's because you have to run gparted as root, use gnome-disk-utiloty
[06:17] <diogenes_> utility*
[06:17] <Quantos> Why is it doing the same thing with KDEPM?
[06:18] <Quantos> Is it something I set up wrong?
[06:18] <diogenes_> i have no clue about kde.
[06:18] <Quantos> Oh okay
[06:18] <Quantos> Fair enough
[06:18] <Quantos> Thanks, I'll give that utility a try
[06:18] <Quantos> I appreciate it
[06:37] <Quantos> diogenes_: Cheers mate, fixed it up quality :P
[06:37] <Quantos> Have a great evening

[12:54] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:39] <user|60> (kubuntu 20.04,,,plasma 5.18.5,,,frameworks 5.68.0,,, qt 5.12.8,,, kernel 5.4.0-54 ) dolphin search function stopped working. can't find a file I'm looking at. ran balooctl disable, then purge the enable ,,, still the same problem. looked at many support forums, no suggestions helped
[14:41] <BluesKaj> try the find command in the konsole
[14:41] <BluesKaj> or locate
[14:44] <user|60> I tried [ ~& find *pol* ]  nothing. tried [ ~& locate *pol*]   it found only one file. I place 2 files with names containing 'pol'
[14:50] <user|60> tried this  [ find . -name "*pol*" ]     it worked and found all the files that contain    pol  in their names
[15:08] <user|60> I'll just continue to use the terminal. never had a problem with  dolphin until now. web search highlighted the same problem reported by many #?# but no practical solutions offered...
[15:11] <tinom> Hello
[15:16] <tinom> Kate is a good code editor, but i have a bug. Chinese chars will Sink a few pixels, when the Chinese chars and English chars in the same line, "_" will be hidden. Does anyone have the same problem?
[15:41] <IrcsomeBot1> <Tolga Erok> Hi all. I'm having trouble with kubuntu accessing the network printers. States forbidden access/maintenance?  … I have edited my smb.conf file so the system can see and connect to my USB on my smb1 router.  … I.e. …  client min protocol = NT1 …  server min protocol = NT1
[17:18] <not_me_again> Hi, I'm trying to install Kubuntu to a somewhat troubling system and Grub2 is not overwriting the old grub2 even though I'm very certain that it's writing to the right drive (/dev/sda no partition number)
[17:19] <not_me_again> it installs sucessfully but then on reboot the old grub2 gets loaded
[17:19] <not_me_again> for what it's worth I'm using GPT with real BIOS
[17:22] <eeos> not_me_again: do you ave the grub into a separat boot partition?
[17:23] <not_me_again> Hmm... actually, that might be the case.. yes
[17:23] <not_me_again> so, /dev/sda1?
[17:24] <not_me_again> Or rather, is it that grub2 is by default installing to it but there's another grub in the mbr?
[17:28] <eeos> not_me_again: are you sure that is the partition and not the whole disk? Can you run a df for me , please?
[17:28] <not_me_again> It's on a different device but I can do that soon as I just re-installed kubuntu with the bootloader on an old USB stick and that is booting right now
[17:29] <not_me_again> What would you expect to see in df? By boot partition I mean the legacy bios partition that's available with GPT - it would not show up in df output
[17:30] <not_me_again> /boot is on the @ subvolume (using btrfs for /)
[17:31] <eeos> not_me_again: I think it could be useful to format the boot partition again, that is what I would do, a reinstall the grub
[17:32] <eeos> not_me_again: not sure grub can go into btrfs though .... never tried that.
[17:38] <not_me_again> /boot is perfectly fine on btrfs as long as grub2 understands the features in use i.e. 20.10 supports raid1c34 feature but grub2 might be too old to understand it; it might also not like zstd compression - 20.04 definitely didn't like it, iirc
[17:39] <not_me_again> but /boot only contains the later parts of grub(2) - the core bootloader has to be where the BIOS/UEFI can find it which would be MBR or ESP
[17:43] <not_me_again> also /boot isn't a partition - it's just a subfolder of / which itself is a btrfs subvolume named @ as is kubuntu default
[17:44] <not_me_again> anyway, I think I'll just keep on booting from the usb stick - it's old and too small for modern live usb images so I didn't really have anywhere else to use it anyway. Thank you for tyring to help
[17:44] <not_me_again> Bye, bye.

[22:59] <Armendz> hello
[23:00] <Armendz> can't install Kubuntu on Ideapad
[23:00] <Armendz> i get, AMD Vi : Unable to write to IOMMU
[23:34] <rogier> So I found an old PC in the street. Put KDE NEON. It works great.
[23:34] <rogier> I had to replace the hard disk data cable but other than that it's great. It has an AMD proccesor plenty of memory and a nvidea videocart
[23:34] <rogier> There is a huge coolblok? on the cpu. Only problem the fans in front an behing make a lot of noise.
[23:34] <rogier> I installed simple system monitor and it is running at 11 degree celcius.
[23:34] <rogier> If I stop the fans it goes to 20
[23:35] <rogier> degree
[23:35] <rogier> Is this okey? Can I just remove the fans?
[23:35] <rogier> I stop them now with some papers stuffed in them. But would rather just remove them
