[00:02] Unable to connect to windows shared printers. Kubuntu 20.04 === tim is now known as Guest88434 === westor{off} is now known as westor [06:11] 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] That should be part and parcel of partitioning and formatting [06:13] For some reason the drives belong to root, I don't really want to do this for every drive [06:15] The same thing happens whether I tried KDE Partition Manager or GParted [06:17] that's because you have to run gparted as root, use gnome-disk-utiloty [06:17] utility* [06:17] Why is it doing the same thing with KDEPM? [06:18] Is it something I set up wrong? [06:18] i have no clue about kde. [06:18] Oh okay [06:18] Fair enough [06:18] Thanks, I'll give that utility a try [06:18] I appreciate it [06:37] diogenes_: Cheers mate, fixed it up quality :P [06:37] Have a great evening [07:00] Fwd from SharGen19: How to remove those drivers and revert back [07:00] (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/1t8PmNLn/file_39231.jpg I installed drivers from here and it causing errors [07:00] Help me please 🥺 [07:25] Bonjour, [07:25] Hello [07:26] i have a computer with windows 10 and i want to install kubuntu [07:27] with USB key, installation begin normally but when i am at the stage LVM there is my USB key but not main disk partition === archetech is now known as Guest2914 === archetech_ is now known as archetech === ujjwal is now known as ujjwal_ === ujjwal_ is now known as ujjwal__ === ujjwal__ is now known as ujjwal === google_ is now known as abze === muh2000__ is now known as muh2000 === Guest34824 is now known as lordievader === fattywompus_ is now known as fattywompus [12:54] Hi folks === newbie|2 is now known as fattywompus_ [14:39] (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] try the find command in the konsole [14:41] or locate [14:44] I tried [ ~& find *pol* ] nothing. tried [ ~& locate *pol*] it found only one file. I place 2 files with names containing 'pol' [14:50] tried this [ find . -name "*pol*" ] it worked and found all the files that contain pol in their names [15:08] 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] Hello [15:16] 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] 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] 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] it installs sucessfully but then on reboot the old grub2 gets loaded [17:19] for what it's worth I'm using GPT with real BIOS [17:22] not_me_again: do you ave the grub into a separat boot partition? [17:23] Hmm... actually, that might be the case.. yes [17:23] so, /dev/sda1? [17:24] Or rather, is it that grub2 is by default installing to it but there's another grub in the mbr? [17:28] 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] 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] 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] /boot is on the @ subvolume (using btrfs for /) [17:31] 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] not_me_again: not sure grub can go into btrfs though .... never tried that. [17:38] /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] 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] 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] 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] Bye, bye. === atlas_ is now known as Guest97626 [21:50] can you help me with ubuntu [21:50] paste.ubuntu.com [21:51] thenanaomonster: you just ask the questiooh well...

[21:51] patience, eve [21:51] n [22:59] hello [23:00] can't install Kubuntu on Ideapad [23:00] i get, AMD Vi : Unable to write to IOMMU [23:34] So I found an old PC in the street. Put KDE NEON. It works great. [23:34] 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] There is a huge coolblok? on the cpu. Only problem the fans in front an behing make a lot of noise. [23:34] I installed simple system monitor and it is running at 11 degree celcius. [23:34] If I stop the fans it goes to 20 [23:35] degree [23:35] Is this okey? Can I just remove the fans? [23:35] I stop them now with some papers stuffed in them. But would rather just remove them
