[00:22] <murthy> the network is libera.chat network and the channel was ##music
[00:27] <murthy> valorie: oh. Is he part of the kde neon?
[00:41] <Mamarok> that's weird
[00:43] <murthy> ya
[01:21] <valorie> Mamarok: maybe drop him a note with that info?
[06:28] <TheBigK> i have a super weird problem. By someones Workstation the lockscreen password... it doesnt work. but he can login with his password local in a shell... in .xsessionerrors it just says Authentication failed. Any idea how to debug this?
[06:37] <alkisg> Maybe keyboard layout issues?
[06:37] <TheBigK> nah. he checked the password in clear text
[06:37] <TheBigK> u can uncloak that with a button
[06:38] <TheBigK> i assume some sort of permission error somehow... or something related to this stupid autlogin. that thing was probably a mistake
[06:38] <TheBigK> autologin
[08:24] <TheBigK> i fixed it yippieee
[08:25] <TheBigK> okay the issue was that the /etc/shadow was owned by root.root
[08:25] <TheBigK> and its supposed to be root.shadow
[08:25] <TheBigK> casuse the programm /usr/sbin/unix_chkpasswd is started with group suid ... and that group is shadow
[08:26] <TheBigK> so unix_chkpasswd wasnt able to access /etc/shadow... and so the password wasnt accepted... obviously
[08:26] <TheBigK> great news... one problem less to worry about :)
[08:26] <TheBigK> the only mistery is how it changed... but i leave it at that ;D
[19:25] <user|74> Hello!, I have a question about the requirements system for kubuntu 20.04
[21:03] <mparillo> Generally in a VM, you can get by with 2 GB if you are not doing too much; 4 GB on real HW. Many tabs in a browser, compiling programs, video editing, gaming, will consume far more.
[21:26] <audrey> FWIW I ran Kubuntu 20.04 comfortably on an old laptop with 4GB RAM.
[21:27] <audrey> A lot depends on the applications you're running but you can get away with light everyday usage on 4GB. KDE is much more memory-efficient these days than in the past. (I was surprised to see out-of-the-box memory usage to be lower than Xubuntu.)
[21:28] <mparillo> And if you have an SSD, set up a big swap partition / file, and that helps also.
