[06:27] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:43] <schnoodles> Hey everyone. I am currently running Kubuntu in VMWARE (have for ages) and all of a sudden the network has dropped and it seems I cant connect to NAT. Their wasnt even any connections in the settings. I just added a wired ethernet. I was wondering if anyone know why the network would have dropped and how I can get it back,.
[10:46] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 My laptop fan running constantly...How do i fix it? Help
 After installing Kubuntu..
[12:50] <lordievader> How is the cpu usage?
 29-40 percentage
[12:53] <lordievader> That is not very idle. Do you happen to have lm-sensors installed?
 How to check that?
[12:54] <lordievader> Open a terminal and run `sensors`.
 It's showing:- command sensors not found.
[12:55] <lordievader> Run `sudo apt install lm-sensors`.
 I did not opened a single application on my laptop but still my laptop fan running constantly..
[12:55] <lordievader> Then let it detect your sensors with `sudo sensors-detect` (selecting yes for most things)
 Ok
 I am installing lm-sensors
 While installation my cpu usage is 83-90 percentage
[12:58] <lordievader> That is to be expected, your cpu has to do work.
 Ok i have installed sensors
 What to check here?
[13:00] <lordievader> You also ran the sensors-detect command?
 Yes
[13:00] <lordievader> Could you pastebin the output of `sensors`?
[13:00] <lordievader> !paste
 Ok
 peace@peace-IT:~$ sensors
 coretemp-isa-0000
 Adapter: ISA adapter
 Package id 0:  +61.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
 Core 0:        +56.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
 Core 1:        +61.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
[13:02] <lordievader> Right, for next time please do use a pastebin service.
[13:03] <lordievader> For a laptop those numbers are not entirely strange. However, to say that it is very cool... no.
[13:04] <lordievader> You might want to check what is making the cpu usage ~20% when idle. It could be enough for the cpu to not clock down, leading to higher temps.
 Ok
 i'll check it.
 Thanks
 My laptop has hybrid GPU(Intel+Nvidia) so is that related to GPU.
 Specifically nvidia..
[13:09] <lordievader> That may play a role, if the nvidia card is not powered down when it is not in use it does consume power (and is therefore adding heat).
 When idle, CPU usage is 93%
 in between 34-93 %
 I have checked Processes as well, and only System Monitor  CPU usage is 1.3%
[13:15] <lordievader> That is not 'idle' 😋
[13:15] <lordievader> What is it doing? Which process is taking all that cpu?
[13:18] <BluesKaj> sounds like an Optimus gpu system, they can be iffy to set up
 don't Which process is taking all that CPU usage but when i checked it on system monitor processes (plasma-systemmonitor : 2.0%, telegram-desktop :  3.0 %, kwin_x11 : 0.8%)
 only three processes are running..
 *know
[13:19] <lordievader> I'd keep a `top` or `htop` open sorted on cpu usage and look for what is eating away at the cpu.
 but on system monitor overview section, CPU usage is 40-51% now
[13:20] <lordievader> I don't think the system monitor tells the whole picture.
 ok
[13:20] <lordievader> Is it an old laptop?
 not old or not new
 middle
 Ok, now my laptop got freezed.
 Only cursor is functioning..
 I am texting from mobile now..
[13:23] <lordievader> Interesting. Can you still go to a tty? (ctrl + alt + f1, for example)
 No
 I tried but not working
[13:25] <lordievader> ctrl + alt + f2 is also not working? The cursor still works though?
 I think my laptop has some problems, i tried most of linux Distro (Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch Linux, Debian 11, Zorin,  MX Linux and many more) but on every Distro my laptop got freezed..
 And same thing is happening with Kubuntu now..
 Not working (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> ctrl + alt + f2 is also not working? The cursor still works though?)
[13:26] <lordievader> Still, the cursor does work?
 Yes
[13:27] <lordievader> Well that means the kernel is not entirely dead.
 Ok
 What to do now?
[13:27] <lordievader> At this point I'd check if the disk is still ok and if it is perform a memory test.
[13:27] <lordievader> If all these distros have these kind of issues it is most likely a hardware issue.
 I think it's hardware issue on my laptop (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> If all these distros have these kind of issues it is most likely a hardware issue.)
 Again i have to move back to Windows😔😩
[13:29] <lordievader> If it is a hardware issue, Windows has the same problem...
 No, Windows is working perfectly.
[13:30] <lordievader> That is odd.
 I trying all the linux distribution from last 28 days, i guess
 Every linux distribution are freezing on my laptop..
[13:31] <lordievader> Well, anyhow. Start by checking the smart stats of your hard drive. Install `smartmontools` and then run `sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd<disk-letter>`.
 It will work perfectly for one day(after installation) but on the next day it starts freezing.
[13:32] <lordievader> You are specifically looking for reallocated sectors or pending sectors. Those should report zero for a healthy disk.
 Ok, i have restarted my laptop (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Well, anyhow. Start by checking the smart stats of your hard drive. Install `smartmontools` and then run `sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd<disk-letter>`.)
 I'll check it now
 https://imgur.com/xmPpBcu
 https://imgur.com/QT3ikC6
 please check it.
[13:39] <lordievader> That looks okay.
[13:40] <mybalzitch> I don't understand why KDE won't automatically lock my screen at times. or even put it to sleep.
[13:40] <mybalzitch> *put the monitor to sleep
[13:40] <lordievader> IIRC, ubuntu automatically installs memtester (in the grub menu). Next step is to run that for a couple of hours. The longer the better.
 CPU usage:- https://imgur.com/undefined
 Hi @BlueKaj, are you a bot?
[13:42] <lordievader> Arent we all?
 CPU History:- https://imgur.com/undefined
[13:44] <lordievader> Student, those are broken links
 ok, CPU Usage:- https://imgur.com/Kdjo9Un     CPU history: https://imgur.com/7ySdLTb
[13:47] <lordievader> I would not call that idle.
[13:49] <lordievader> Student, what is the output of `top -bn 1 -o '%CPU'`?
 ok, you want me to close all the application and than take a screenshot?
 how to check that?
[13:50] <lordievader> !paste
[13:50] <lordievader> Just copy and paste the output to https://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:53] <BluesKaj> @Student, not a bot, just an old linux user
 How to check this? (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Student, what is the output of `top -bn 1 -o '%CPU'`?)
[14:03] <lordievader> Run that in a terminal
 when i run that command: i am getting greater than symbol ">"
 no text
 https://imgur.com/wjkJbz5
[14:06] <clickwir> you need one more ' after CPU
[14:07] <clickwir> top -bn 1 -o '%CPU'
[14:07] <lordievader> Exactly, now your shell is waiting for you to complete the '.
 ok got it
 Should i copy the output and paste it on https://paste.ubuntu.com or should i send it on imgur.com
[14:09] <lordievader> What ever is easiest (we are interested in the lines at the top)
 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kdPFsYZdNw/
[14:11] <lordievader> Your systemd-journal process is going haywire. Perhaps a `sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald` fixes that .
 I ran this command : sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald
 but no output from last 1min
 https://imgur.com/50iVS3r
[14:19] <lordievader> Likely too busy with "something" to respond to your request to restart.
 ok. i'll restart and run that command
 by the way, what is the purpose of that process?
 Restarted but no output from last 2mins. (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Likely too busy with "something" to respond to your request to restart.)
[14:26] <clickwir> That process is for collecting and storing logs, usually it's a pretty quiet process and you never hear of it.
 But i am not getting any output by running that command.. Showing same after restarting.. (re @Student: https://imgur.com/50iVS3r)
 Got this output :- https://imgur.com/aId8vWM
[14:42] <Santurysim> Hello, does grub-install support installing grub signed with my keys?
[15:02] <nicolas_> Hello there,
[15:02] <nicolas_> I am very new to kubuntu ... about 3 days, I have searched but I cannot find how to make the menu show me 'grade' or 'grid' of icons, as well as in favorites instead of seeing a tiny icon and text I prefer the ones bigger icons, do you know if you can do that configuration?
[15:02] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/ByK3DCK
[15:02] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/XSp1fYv
[15:04] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/1q6fTxM
[15:05] <nicolas_> I would like to configure everything as in favorites.
[15:05] <nicolas_> Can anyone help me?
 Right click the Kubuntu Menu icon - and change menu format.
 Rest you can find under system settings
[15:15] <alkisg> Do you mean that you have recompiled grub? Or that you want to add your own key to MOK, so that you can use it later on to load a kernel and modules?
[15:21] <Santurysim> alkisg: I have my own secure boot keys (pk, kek and image signing key in db), and I want grub-install to sign grubx64.efi with image signing key so everything can boot directly without shim?
[15:21] <nicolas_> Right-clicking on the Kubuntu menu icon - and changing the menu format.
[15:21] <nicolas_> Only the option to change Favorites appears.
[15:21] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/ByK3DCK
 Configure Application Menu - option
[15:26] <nicolas_> yes: Configure Application Menu - option
[15:26] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/WPr5Rjg
[15:27] <nicolas_> and
[15:27] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/ByK3DCK
[15:29] <nicolas_> No option to change menu, only favorites.
 Finally found a solution to fix High CPU usage..  Here is the solution: (re @Student: CPU usage:- https://imgur.com/undefined)
 The systemd-journald is service in Linux OS that collects and stores the logging data.
 On some Linux distributions it is often found that systemd-journald service is consuming more than 90% or some times nearly 100% of CPU resources.
 So here's a fix for this problem...
 Open your terminal and type following command.(You can use text editor of your choice.)
     $ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
 Find a the line that begins with
[15:37] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/cFGjpxT
 Sorry - Its s" Show Alternatives
[15:38] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/Lvd2CFX
[15:44] <nicolas_> Now he inverted the menu, placing the icons first and then the categories.
[15:44] <nicolas_> Also went to the top of the screen (left).
[15:44] <nicolas_> https://ibb.co/Lvd2CFXhttps://ibb.co/sKGPbFp
[15:45] <nicolas_> https:/ibb.co/sKGPbFp
[15:46] <nicolas_> I will reboot
[15:54] <nicolas_> trying to search google if they have any way to centralize the simple menu
[16:23] <nicolas_> I've already checked it out and there is no option to centralize the simple menu.
[16:23] <nicolas_> So unfortunately it's putting the whole bar to the left or the tiny icons.
[16:23] <nicolas_> Thank you so much for all the help.
 try latte dock from Muon package manager
[19:42] <cutotopo> hello everyone! i have a question: is there a way to use kde with wayland on kubuntu 20.04 lts?
