lordievaderGood morning06:16

keithzgIncreasingly tempted to just manually upgrade to 21.04 by changing the damned sources.list :P09:59
keithzg(Can't believe 21.10 is on the horizon and my main PC still gets told it can't be upgraded to 21.04, arghh, I thought the whole EFI thing was resolved ages ago)10:04
alkisgEh, maybe he had"lts only" in his update-manager configuration...10:33
=== Santurysim is now known as Ermine
mparilloI thought the problem was not with EFI, but "Secure Boot"?11:49
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Did I do something really bad? : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/7a1e4639/file_48009.jpg12:08
IrcsomeBot<Halis> of=/dev/sda+50012:08
keithzgmparillo: The bugs still pending seemed to be to do with old versions of EFI not working, I think perhaps it'd still be fine with Secure Boot disabled but the upgrades were held due to that consideration? I really don't know, I wish there was a single authoritative source for why upgrades are or aren't being let through.12:10
keithzgAnyways with everything I could find being marked as the fix having been released, but do-release-upgrade still saying no to me, I've indeed gone the cowboy route :P12:11
keithzg(Which is maybe why I keep disconnecting from the server? Or is Libera often this flakey?)12:11
BluesKajHi all12:20
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Hi BluesKaj :)12:30
BluesKaj@Halis, hi12:32
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Do you know what /dev/sda+500 will correspond to?12:38
BluesKajpartition size perhaps, never seen a +500 attached to partition name12:42
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Oh, I found it! I accidentally run this command:12:42
IrcsomeBot<Halis> sudo dd bs=64M if=/opt/lubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sda+50012:43
IrcsomeBot<Halis> And I was scared as hell, that I messed up12:43
BluesKajso you added the +500?12:43
IrcsomeBot<Halis> But it just created a file named sda+500 😂12:43
lordievaderIs that not simply interpreted as a filename?12:44
lordievaderIndeed, you are just writing into a tempfs.12:44
IrcsomeBot<Halis> That explains, why it took just 2s for 1.9G (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Indeed, you are just writing into a tempfs.)12:45
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Yes, I thought why not start 500 blocks after sda beginns and forgot that dd can be really dangerous (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> so you added the +500?)12:46
lordievaderYou are looking for the seek/skip options, see the manpage.12:47
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Thank you lordievadar and BluesKaj !12:50
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Does Kubuntu 21.10 use Wayland? I tried Lubuntu Beta, but it uses X1113:51
BluesKajnot yet, the devs are still working on configuring wayland for the kde/plasma desktop graphics13:56
=== genii-core is now known as genii
IrcsomeBot<Halis> Do you mean for 21.10 or later releases? (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> not yet, the devs are still working on configuring wayland for the kde/plasma desktop graphics)15:14
BluesKaj21.10 isn't officially released yet so the answer is not yet...maybe 22.04, but it's doubtful15:17
mparilloYou can install Wayland. Somebody will correct me, but I think if you install plasma-workspace-wayland and reboot, SDDM will automagically show you a wayland option18:06
mparilloMy recommendation: Do not try it if you have Nvidia18:07
mparillo21.10 Single Screen Intel should be almost there. I understand they recently got launch feedback (bouncy cursor) working on Wayland.18:16
IrcsomeBot<Student> Can't copy files from Manjaro drive to external hdd.. please help19:42

geniiYes, everyone saw your issue the first two times you stated it, no need to keep posting it.19:45
geniiThis is the Kubuntu support, you may want to try finding another gateway which leads instead to the #manjaro support channel19:46
IrcsomeBot<Student> I am facing same issue on Manjaro and Kubuntu OS , and the same text has posted on Manjaro support channel as well..19:53
IrcsomeBot<Student> Neither i can write files on Kubuntu nor on Manjaro os...19:53
IrcsomeBot<Student> I can copy files from external hdd to system drive on both Kubuntu and Manjaro but can't create file on external hdd..19:54
IrcsomeBot<Student> Problem solved, because of Round brackets or parentheses in a file name, Kubuntu and Manjaro OS are not allowing me to copy that file to external drive but once i removed those brackets, now i can copy the files to external hdd. (re @Student: I can copy files from external hdd to system drive on both Kubuntu and Manjaro but can't create file on external hdd..)20:14

keithzgGotta love Linux, last night I went crazy and just did a fully manual 20.10->21.04 upgrade and without ever rebooting already most binaries are already all updated; really stood out to me since I've been updating a bunch of Windows machines at work lately and boy howdy is it a different experience :D21:52
