[02:06] hello === peter_ is now known as Guest5078 [09:05] hi [10:37] !hi [11:30] hi [12:10] Hi, new to this. Tried to download the kubuntu documentation as pdf file, doesn't seem to work. Any help? [12:37] I really prefer the debian-installer over the kubuntu live installer. Is it possible to use the debian-installer over the kubuntu live installer? [14:40] Hi all === niclas is now known as Sten-Olivin [15:45] Hello [15:45] Is this chat for support and help? [15:48] farhad: it is for Kubuntu yes [15:48] just ask your support question and wait until someone is able to help and respond [15:49] offtopic chat is in #kubuntu-offtopic [15:49] I am trying to share hotspot using Kubuntu default hotspot and also using Wifi(shared) but when Connecting to the Wifi by my phone it is not getting connected and it is showing ip couldn't find [15:50] Can you help me to fix this issue and create a hotspot which can be accessible [15:52] i don't have experience with that, sorry. maybe someone else knows [15:52] Okay [18:26] greetings, are there any alternatives to the kde repo: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu/? It keeps failing when I try to add kde to a Ubunt desktop. [18:58] i guess you first have to install the KDE Plasma desktop on Ubuntu and then add the backports PPA to update to the latest Plasma packages iomari891 [18:59] also which Ubuntu release are you talking about? [19:02] Mekaneck: we're talking about this in #ubuntu - I originally referred iomari891 here because at this point i was not aware this was originally an ubuntu installation, not kubuntu. [19:03] hello, i need some help fixing this sound problem i'm having. is this the right place to ask? [19:04] icic: it's a good place to ask if you're running a supported kubuntu release (but i may not be able to help myself) [19:06] well I am running kubuntu 20.04 lts version. The issue I'm having is that my speakers are not being detected, pavucontrol shows a dummy device. I notice that if i boot 5.4.0-26-generic in grub it works fine, but when it boots to the latest it stops working. I don't know where to go since on a previous build I didn't have this issue before [19:08] which kernel is "the latest" then? [19:08] on my machine it's booting to 5.11.0-27-generic [19:10] right, that's the latest HWE kernel [19:11] tomreyn: hence i asked which release of Ubuntu he's running. IIRC the backports only apply to 21.04 of Kubuntu. [19:11] icic: what pavucontrol shows as a dummy device will be the audio chipset, not your boxes [19:12] icic: there's a script called alsa-info which you should already have available. it also comes with a self-update mechanism. you can use this script to gather information on your sysconfiguration / hardware and have it upload it for sharing [19:13] sorry, not sure how to upload on irc [19:15] Mekaneck: do I need the backports to install kde-full? [19:15] Mekaneck: iomari891 runs hirsute according to their 'apt update' output https://termbin.com/tktc [19:15] icic: the scriptcan do the upload for you [19:16] it would just return a http address you could then post here [19:16] iomari891: no.... the backports ppa are only to update plasma to it's latest version [19:17] BTW, Ubuntu 21.04 [19:17] so i read [19:17] ok [19:18] ok. that may solve my problem. [19:19] but that will have to be on Monday. My friend has shut down and gone home. Thanks for your help. Both of you. [19:19] i just paste the link here then? [19:20] http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=120c302d8f26a5fd7bd6c1537e25d1ba86f2f6dc [19:21] iomari891: if you want to run kubuntu on top of ubuntu: sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop If you only want KDE Plasma then: sudo apt install kde-full [19:21] iirc [19:34] iomari891: this seems to be a known kernel bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208555 [19:34] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 208555 in Drivers "No sound from speakers using Realtek ALC287" [Normal, New] [19:37] icic: see the two lines above, this was actually for you [19:38] I'm not used to seeing bug reports like this, but am I right in assuming that this is a known bug? [19:39] icic: i suggest reporting the bug to Ubuntu (ubuntu-bug alsa), then using the GA (5.4) kernel for now until it's fixed in a newer HWE kernel version [19:40] icic: my interpretation is this is a bug known to the Linux kernel developers who handle sound chipset drivers. I assume this may not yet be known to the Ubuntu kernel developers. [19:41] it would be good to help make the Ubuntu kernel developers aware also so that they can prepare a fix, too. [19:42] okay, do i need an account to file a bug report? === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [19:48] icic: yes, you do, but it think the process guides you through creating one [22:37] hello
