 Hey everyone ! I hope you're all enjoying this end of year 😁 … I need your help on my brand new Dell Inspiron I bought few weeks ago. I've been trying to install Kubuntu but facing issue. Even if the drivers of my graphic card are installed, I still cannot change the brightness and the resolution (only one is available in settings). Also, the TouchPad is not recognized and after searching it seems like it is detected as a regular
 Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
[09:09] <ciuiga_> Buon Natale
[10:35] <user|49382> anyone printer loading smart on kubuntu

 Hello everyone &Merry Christmas  … How can I choose different languages input for different windows?
[17:20] <Metamorphosis> Hello. Merry Christmas, how can I get rid of Kmail and its related stuff (Akonadi etc) without breaking my system?

[20:13] <Timmy> IrcsomeBot: dns over tls does not provide you better performance but it gives you privacy
[20:14] <Timmy> you can use stubby, it's very easy
[20:15] <Timmy> Install it using apt, then set dns address in network manager to 127.0.0.1
[20:15] <Timmy> that's all
[20:15] <Timmy> of course you must restart network manager daemon as well
[20:19] <Timmy> network manager does not provide you dns over tls, you must use stubby as a provider for this purpose. you must tell network manager to send dns requests to 127.0.0.1 which is stubby daemon listening to and then stubby will resolve them for you
[20:20] <Timmy> stubby has a configuration file which you don't need to edit and is configured by default but if you need to change address of dns server you can edit /etc/stubby/stubby.yml but don't forget to restart stubby daemon after editing
[20:21] <Timmy> IrcsomeBot: it's more than two decades that people are using plain text dns requests and they're still  alive
[20:23] <Timmy> IrcsomeBot: By using plain text dns requests, ISP can observe what website you are going to visit but nothing else
[20:26] <Timmy> Anyone who can sniff your private network can see your requests, also ISP, and your government and whoever is routing your request in network path. your data is plain text
[20:41] <os-dave> Good evening folk
 Until the paragon commits land in the latest kernel (https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-mount-partition-with-ntfs-file-system-and-read-write-access), only limited ntfs support is available.  You can use a command such as the following for ntfw rw:  mount -o rw,mount,rw -t ntfs /dev/sdc3 /mnt/ntfs/
 replace sdc3 and /mnt/ntfs with your respective configuration.
[20:45] <os-dave> Is anyone in here versed in Kate highlighting?  Or able to direct me to a more appropriate IRC?
 @nelands, Sorry to insist. Anyone have an idea of solution for this ? I am really stuck now and don't really know what to do
 @nelands, Which version of Kubuntu did you install?
 @DarinMiller, 20.04.1
 Possibly a newer kernel will fix the issues you encountered.  Create a live 20.10 usb and see if any of your issues are solved.
 Just boot to the live USB but don't install.
 Okay so just trying Kubutu 20.10 will show me if the brightness and touchpad will be correctly recognized ? I'll try in an hour or two and will tell you if it's okay
 Thanks ! 🙏
 Yes, that's where I would start.
[21:56] <Metamorphosis> Hello. I need someone with a freshly installed Kubuntu 20.04 to do a dpkg --get-selections for me.
[21:57] <Metamorphosis> I would appreciate it
 I don't have a fresh install of 20.04.  I would have to create a KVM session to generate the list.
[22:08] <Metamorphosis> DarinMiller I want to know if Kontact,Kmail and their related stuff were preinstalled or I installed them.
 I just did a Install, and didnt begin the 20.10 one. You want me to send you the result of the command ?
