[09:01] <Mrokii> sorry, typo. :-)
[09:38] <kdelovers> hello peeps. i'm fine how are you?
[09:38] <kdelovers> is there anybody to support me with network connectivity in kubuntu 20.10?
[09:49] <kdelovers> ok precise probs: i'm trying to connect wifi but network-manager always returns that no password is given. i repeat entering my wifi pw and it still does the same
[09:49] <kdelovers> do i need to turn off network manager and configure it as i did 15 yrs ago using wpa_supplicant? :-(
[12:18] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[16:50] <silv3r_m00n> hi there i am using Kubuntu, when i hover mouse over the taskbar, the respective windows flashes over the current window, anybody knows how to disable this ?
[18:12] <user|37519> HI. I want to know how can i install a software .deb in Kubuntu 20.4.2
[18:12] <user|37519> COuld you help me?
[18:13] <tomreyn> user|37519: hi there
[18:13] <tomreyn> the best way to install software is through apt repositories (and maybe snaps)
[18:13] <tomreyn> you can also install .deb's directly, but this means you cannot get updates for them automatically
[18:14] <tomreyn> also, you need to trust them ultimately to not harm your computer
[18:14] <user|37519> i dont find snes9x in Discover and i want to install it.
[18:14] <user|37519> do you know how can i install it?
[18:15] <tomreyn> finally you also need to ensure this package will actually be compatible to your very kubuntu version
[18:15] <tomreyn> here's a way to do so, and possibly break things: sudo apt install path/to/where/you/stored/thatfile.deb
[18:15] <tomreyn> if you want to describe what you are trrying to install exactly, i may be able to provide a better solution
[18:16] <user|37519> snes9x is a Super Nintendo System (SNES) emulator
[18:18] <tomreyn> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1242963/how-to-install-snes9x-from-the-github-repository lists several approaches. none of those are ideal.
[18:21] <user|37519> then, theres nothing to do?
[18:23] <Dragnslcr> user|37519- have you tried ZSNES? It's available in the standard Ubuntu repository?
[18:23] <tomreyn> none that's supported here. the easiest approach is probably to use the flatpak
[18:23] <Dragnslcr> Sorry, that second part shouldn't be a question
[18:23] <Dragnslcr> It's available in the standard Ubuntu repository
[18:24] <tomreyn> oh that may be a better suggestion
[18:24] <tomreyn> i have no clue about NES emulators
[18:24] <Dragnslcr> It's been a while since I've run a SNES emulator, so I can't remember for sure which one I went with
[18:24] <user|37519> how can i install a software in Kubuntu from Ubuntu repository?
[18:25] <tomreyn> they share the same repositories
[18:25] <tomreyn> so you just install it as you would on kubuntu
[18:26] <user|37519> Thanks
[18:26] <Dragnslcr> There's also Higan, but I vaguely remember having issues with it
[18:27] <Dragnslcr> And there's mednafen, which I've never used before, but the package description says it does SNES emulation, so you could try it out
[18:43] <Maik> best thing i came across is to take a pi 4 and install retropie on it for retro gaming, it supports a lot of emulators OOTB
[18:46] <user|37519> I already solved the problem. I got other snes emulator
[18:47] <user|37519> i have one more cuestion. how can i upgrade Libre Office and get spanish language?
[18:50] <tomreyn> for the second part: sduo apt install libreoffice-l10n-es libreoffice-help-es mythes-es
[18:50] <tomreyn> for the first part:
[18:50] <tomreyn> !latest
[18:50] <tomreyn> (this also applies to Kubuntu)
[18:52] <tomreyn> in many situations the correct answer is: if you *actually need* a newer version, consider a Kubuntu upgrade.
[18:53] <user|37519> So if the version I have works better, leave it
[18:53] <user|37519> is that right?
[18:54] <Maik> if it works just leave it as is
[18:54] <tomreyn> works better than what?
[18:54] <Maik> newest doesn't alway mean it's better and newest can also bring new bugs
[18:58] <user|37519> Thanks
[18:58] <Maik> But.... if you want the latest then there's the Snap version which will be kept more up to date than the software in the main ubuntu repo's
[18:58] <Maik> it's up to you
