[00:11] <kmart> IrcsomeBot, nope, 20.04 LTS
[00:11] <kmart> tomreyn, firmware for what? SupremeFX ?
[00:12] <kmart> the soundard works just fine, on windows mic-in works ok and I can record with audacity
[00:12] <kmart> on kubuntu though, not only the mixer defaults to auto-mute everything on "usb audio"
[00:13] <kmart> it also somehow doesnt pick up any input from the mic
[00:14] <kmart> the kubuntu alsamixer doesnt even have the "auto mute" section in the ascii UI
[00:14] <kmart> yet everything gets auto-muted
[00:14] <kmart> have to manually run command: "amixer -c 2 set Headphone on"
[00:14] <kmart> to get it unmuted
[00:16] <kmart> from the googling that ive done I figured im not the only one with that problem, and it was introduced sometime in 2019-2020
 If it's 20.10, try uninstalling pipewire.  I found pipewire to interfere with my BT headphone and uninstalling pipewire fixed it.  Also, you try killing pulseaudio as it will restart automatically and that my "fix" the issue.
[00:43] <kmart> killing pulseaudio doesnt fix anything in my case
[00:44] <kmart> and not gonna reinstall my workstation to 20.10 :( too much setup
 you can upgrade from 20.04 to 20.10 and maintain your existing setup.
[02:54] <maxrazer> I'm not sure why but the Kubuntu install failed. I got an error and it said to report it. I also tried the safe graphics boot mode for the install. I've been able to install KDE Neon just fine though as well as Debian and Open Suse Tumbleweed with no problem. This is actually a problem I've had with Ubuntu on my comuter for many years. It is just about the only distro I haven't been able to install, though I think I got it
[02:54] <maxrazer> to work once and tracked it down the changing the hostname from the default or something.
[03:06] <maxrazer> I also didn't try to install normal Ubuntu, just Kubuntu, since I want to run Plasma.
[04:33] <viktor_> hi, i installed ibus to write chinese with pinyin. but it only works in libreoffice writer. not in Kate, Firefox,... Maybe this is a gtk - qt issue. But i don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions?
[04:50] <Capone> Hey, I was trying to upgrade my distro.
[04:51] <Capone> When I did I got an error that my /boot was full. I looked and there are many old kernels. I tried to remove, and I get the following error:
[04:52] <Capone> > Reading package lists... Done
[04:52] <Capone> > Building dependency tree
[04:52] <Capone> > Reading state information... Done
[04:52] <Capone> > E: Unable to locate package ––purge
 Did you try: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ?
[04:54] <Capone> Yes I tried that first I got. 'E: Invalid operation ––purge'
 Which version of Kubuntu?
[04:57] <Capone> focal
 what about: sudo apt autoremove
[05:00] <Capone> yes I tried that too. No error but nothing removed
 @thanveer787, till date, all Kubuntu versions have been very stable for me. … Kubuntu is my primary/production Operating System
 So following the instructions at the following website, how many kernels are installed? https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-18-04-remove-all-unused-old-kernels/
 sudo dpkg --list | egrep -i --color 'linux-image|linux-headers' | pastebinit
[05:08] <Capone> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PHfHvQqmDj/
 Follow the directions at the bottom of the weblink to cleanup non-active kernels.
 sudo -i … apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg --list | egrep -i 'linux-image|linux-headers' | awk '/ii/{ print $2}' | egrep -v "$i")
[05:48] <Capone> @DarinMiller Thank you, that worked.
[06:35] <suger> hi
[08:25] <bob_> I have a bug that I would like to report - it concerns the application pipewire
[10:10] <zhanghao> ?
[10:10] <zhanghao> ?
 @ri5h46h, nice
 iam installing right now.
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/LeFM5B8O/file_41162.jpg mine is a fresh install and getting this error for whatever thing i do
[13:40] <mparillo> Looks like a gnome app, and they seem to accept issues at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues
 @thanveer787, fixed it somehow. played with some options in recovery mode
 sad that it comes back after few reboots :/. anyone else has this issue in 20.10. what might have i did wrong
 @thanveer787, Did you run anything as root or via sudo? What does this command display:  … ls ~/.config/baloor* -al
 @DarinMiller, that changes with the app i try to open
 if i open vlc it says the same about vlc. if i press power off , it says something related to that.  … common thing is   configuration file not writable please contact system administrator
 what does this command show:  … ls ~/.config/baloor* -al
 @thanveer787, also this problem solves when i make the file system read and write from recovery mode for disk checking. but the effect only last untill i shut it down once
 Which file system did you chose when you installed?
 @DarinMiller, ext4
 can you write anything to your home directory?
 from a command prompt type: touch t.t
 @DarinMiller, i think i found the cause. Just after booting everything will work fine.  that commans you gave also works  not showing any errors.   … The problem only comes if i mount the local disk partition . Which is made by windows
 But it will not go away if undo the mounting
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/mIh9Sins/file_41168.jpg This is after i mounted the local disk. Before mounting. it didnt show any errors
[18:03] <Wheelz> Good evening
 How are you mounting your windows partition?
 @DarinMiller, just mounting from dolphin
 one more thing. i have two other partitions . one is the local disk that causing the issues and other one is the partition i have windows installed. i just mounted the partition where windows is installed. no problem at all. The problem arises when i mount that particular hard disk partition only.  Well i have some files with delete prevention ( no deletion rights for normal user need admin pass to confirm) . But i sat it in
 Very strange behavior indeed.  What is your kernel version (uname -a)?
 (Photo, 1280x394) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/s0uMQie1/file_41169.jpg
 i had manjaro installed before. but didnt have any issues like that.
 @thanveer787, kernel version
 Try manually  mount the partition via the command line after a fresh reboot, then if that works add it to your fstab file.
 @DarinMiller, okey i will do that
 i mounted the partition via terminal. To a mounting point i created in /mnt/ following a guide in ubuntu forums. But still the problem persists
 So after a fresh reboot, the file system is rw (verified by "touch t.t" or some other method.  But as soon as you "sudo mouint -t  ntfs /dev/xxx /mnt/mydir", your home directory is read only?
 Is ntfs-3g installed?
 install ntfs-3g (sudo apt install ntfs-3g) and try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxx /mnt/mydir
