IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Kubuntu Cafe what's that?? (re @Eickmeyer: That's offtopic for this channel. Feel free to ask in the Kubuntu Cafe.)01:50
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> I can't invite you (as much as I'd like), but it's the offtopic (read: non-support) group. (re @ADHIVP: Kubuntu Cafe what's that??)02:03
=== genii is now known as genii-core
MamarokEickmeyer: and it is called #kubuntu-offtopic AFAIK03:00
EickmeyerMamarok: That doesn't translate in Telegram, unfortunately.03:06
Mamarokright, I didn't think about Telegram, which I don't use03:07
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Yes03:32

user|28hello08:37
Mekaneckuser|28: welcome08:38
user|28kubuntu is it here right?08:38
Mekanecksupport for kubuntu yes08:38
user|28what about its privacy settings. is it as bad as in ubuntu? if so, could I change it?08:39
Mekaneckprivacy settings? I didn't find any in Kubuntu. All i do is activate UFW.08:43
user|28well they have privacy settings in ubuntu to disable08:48
user|28but I couldn't find these in kubuntu so far08:48
RikMillswhat do you want to prevent the OS doing?08:49
Mekaneckhi RikMills :)08:50
user|28to spy on me08:52
Mekaneckit doesn't spy on you08:52
user|28not that i would do anything forbidden, but I also could use windows if that wouldn't matter to me08:53
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> may i know what privacy issues do you have in ubuntu? (re @IrcsomeBot: <user|28> what about its privacy settings. is it as bad as in ubuntu? if so, could I change it?)08:53
user|28but ubuntu does send user data to its home server08:53
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> and more practically, you shouldn't expect any privacy at all when you are ui g internet08:53
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> using*08:54
Mekaneckkubuntu doesn't user|2808:54
user|28so you want to say kubuntu doesn't send user data like ubuntu does? and that's why you can't disable?08:55
Mekaneckuser|28: if you want a bit more privacy, disconnect from the web, don't use any phone etc.. ;)08:55
user|28that's not what I asked for. I want the same privacy as in debian without canonical08:56
Mekaneckthen use debian08:56
user|28in ubuntu you disable those settings by the installation, but not in kubuntu08:56
Mekaneckafaik Kubuntu doesn't send any user stats08:57
MekaneckRikMills: right? ^08:57
user|28that would be interesting to know for sure09:00
RikMillsit is off by default09:01
user|28how do you know that?09:01
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> agreed (re @IrcsomeBot: <Mekaneck> user|28: if you want a bit more privacy, disconnect from the web, don't use any phone etc.. ;))09:05
Mekaneckuser|28: why bother with it if it's off by default?09:05
Mekaneckjust use the OS with the knowledge that it doesn't send any user stats like ubuntu does09:05
Mekaneckand if you're that in doubt and don't trust it, switch to Debian then :)09:06
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> somewhere there is a dossier on you regardless of what you do to circumvent it. (re @IrcsomeBot: <user|28> how do you know that?)09:06
user|28thank you Mekanek, you convinced me now :)09:07
Mekaneck:)09:07
user|28I always thought kubuntu would be straight ubuntu only with a KDE desktop. seems like they are still different09:10
RikMillsalso, if you mean info sent with crash reports, the default setting is to ask you if you want to send it. you can just choose not to send09:12
user|28very good.09:23
user|28why is it so different than ubuntu. do you know that?09:23
RikMillsfor error reports it is not. ubuntu has them set to manual also, which means you get asked if you want to send09:27
Mekaneckbesides the desktop and apps there's not much difference between them user|2809:29
Mekaneckthe base is Ubuntu, just like with all the other ubuntu flavours09:30
RikMillsI'm not really sure where the myth that ubuntu collects users data in any dodgy way comes from09:32
user|28I guess that's because of the not opensource snap packages. I disabled them and installed the flatpak apps on a virtualbox. today I will install kubuntu fully on my drive instead of mx linux09:36
Mekaneckthere aren't any snap packages install by default unless you, as a user, install them.09:38
Mekaneckwhat you say doesn't make any sense.09:38
RikMillsyes, kubuntu has no snaps by default09:39
Mekaneckneither has Ubuntu09:40
user|28that might be that there are snap packages installed as I tested that with "list snap", but I also don't want them in Discover. so I purged snapd and installed flatpak and a discover plugin09:41
RikMillsMekaneck: it does in recent releases. i.e. the snap store09:42
RikMillshttps://i.imgur.com/vrFkN4C.png09:42
MekaneckRikMills: ah, you're right. Thanks.09:42

IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> What's the use of Kubuntu Cafe if people can't join or be invited? (re @Eickmeyer: I can't invite you (as much as I'd like), but it's the offtopic (read: non-support) group.)13:05
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> Why not create a official Kubuntu Offtopic telegram group instead. :)13:06

IrcsomeBot<villagerrrrrrrrr> The CAPTCHA (re @Maik_aD: with what?)14:09
IrcsomeBot<villagerrrrrrrrr> It was confusing14:09

mdiehlHi, does anyone know how to upgrade from 19.04 to 20.04?14:43
Mekaneckmdiehl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades14:52
Mekaneckbest to clean install imho14:53
Mekaneckfaster too14:53
mdiehlFaster than backup->install->restore ?14:53
Mekaneckprobably14:53
Mekaneckfirst you have to go from 19.04 to 19.10 which both are EOL and then 20.0414:54
Mekaneckso clean install is faster14:54
mdiehlOK.  I have to do this on 5 computers.  How do I avoid being in this situation when 20.04 is eol?14:55
Mekanecki'd also stick with 20.04 LTS since it's longer supported, then when the next LTS comes out upgrade to that.14:55
mdiehlSurely I won't be doing clean installs each time.14:55
MekaneckKubuntu LTS releases are supported for 3 years14:56
mdiehlOK, the NEXT lts will be a clean upgrade.14:56
kirvesAxeIsn't upgrades between LTS versions a bit easier..?14:56
mdiehlThat's what I'm hoping....14:56
Mekaneckif you keep using 20.04 LTS yes14:56
mdiehlI don't want to do this again...14:56
mdiehlGood.14:56
Mekaneckkeep in mind that upgrading isn't always flawless. It works for one user but for the other not, depending on hardware etc. etc..14:58
mdiehlSure.14:58
mdiehlI'll start backup up /home.  8-)14:59
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> same thoughts (re @IrcsomeBot: <RikMills> I'm not really sure where the myth that ubuntu collects users data in any dodgy way comes from)16:02
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> Well, the channel mods/owners can invite. I don't know why the invite code isn't public. (re @Maik_aD: What's the use of Kubuntu Cafe if people can't join or be invited?)16:26
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Can anyone tell me how big t number is kubuntu users16:27
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> Could you ask them? Would be appreciated. (re @Eickmeyer: Well, the channel mods/owners can invite. I don't know why the invite code isn't public.)16:27
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> The (re @ADHIVP: Can anyone tell me how big t number is kubuntu users)16:27
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> hard to tell (re @ADHIVP: Can anyone tell me how big t number is kubuntu users)16:27
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> They're in this channel. @RikMills (re @Maik_aD: Could you ask them? Would be appreciated.)16:27
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> ah, ok16:27
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> @RikMills ^^16:28
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> @RikMills They want invites to -offtopic Telegram group.16:29
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> We do not collect any metrics as a flavour that would allow us to know this (re @ADHIVP: Can anyone tell me how big t number is kubuntu users)16:34
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I would quite like to do away with that group rather than grow it (re @Eickmeyer: @RikMills They want invites to -offtopic Telegram group.)16:35
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> Fair, but IRC guidelines apply here, and since this channel is bridged to the support channel and that one is bridged to the offtopic channel, it makes sense. Unless the Kubuntu council decides that anything goes here, but that would require coordination with the IRCC as well. (re @RikMills: I would quite like to do away with that group rather than grow it)16:36
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> None of that has anything to do with giving new invites16:37
IrcsomeBot<Eickmeyer> Well, do you want offtopic conversation here? Because that's what not giving new invites creates.16:38
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> offtopic conversations in a supportchannel? No thanks, it also shows on IRC via the bridge16:39
user217_hello. Can someone help me to identify app? https://askubuntu.com/users/1177229/user21618:05
user217_https://askubuntu.com/questions/1348615/cant-identify-app18:07
user217_*sorry, first link - wrong18:07
alkisguser217_: run ps faux, store it, then xkill, kill the app, then ps faux, then compare the first ps to the second ps and you'll know what you killed18:07
alkisgxkill allows you to kill an app with a mouse click18:08
user217_alkisg: can I identify this app without closing/killing window ?18:11
alkisgProbably, but I don't have the time now to propose a solution for that18:11
user217_m.b. someone else ?18:12
alkisguser217_: try `xwininfo`18:13
user|14i have a problem in my kubuntu os18:15
user217_alkisg: this is output : xwininfo: Window id: 0x44185cd (has no name)18:21
alkisguser217_: xwininfo -all18:42
alkisgThen check the "process id"18:42
user217_alkisg: the stange thing is that :       Process id: (unknown)   https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wVkWypx5Hc/18:53
alkisgWell maybe the process has already died and some parent is still holding it up as a zombie. xkill will tell you.18:55
alkisgYou're not running xorg processes as root, are you?18:55
user217_alkisg: I try `xwininfo -all` with sudo too18:56
user217_result was the same18:56
user217_alkisg: "xkill will tell you."   you mean : ps faux + xkill + ps faux ?18:58
alkisgYup18:58
user217_did it was : http.so [kdeinit5] https local:/run/user/1000/klauncherNaKUvc.1.slave-socket local:/run/user/1000/plasmashellrYrfEr.2   ?  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Rf9Kzjpw7/   https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8rwZySP9Vc/19:05
user217_alkisg:  if yes - I still dont get what app it was :(19:06
alkisgMeh that ubuntu pastebin is awful, it requires a login and a browser to get the text19:11

beweesHi, is using wayland instead of X already stable for Kubuntu >=20.04?20:33
Mekaneckbewees: no20:35
Mekaneckit improved though during the last two releases afaik20:36
Mekaneckit'll be wiser to stay on X with 20.0420:36
beweesMekaneck: Okay, then I keep using the default packages. KDE seems to use anyways few wayland libraries already to make use of waylands advantageous20:36

beweesThanks!20:37
