[09:59] <keithzg> Increasingly tempted to just manually upgrade to 21.04 by changing the damned sources.list :P
[10:04] <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)
[10:33] <alkisg> Eh, maybe he had"lts only" in his update-manager configuration...

[11:49] <mparillo> I thought the problem was not with EFI, but "Secure Boot"?
[12:08] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Did I do something really bad? : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/7a1e4639/file_48009.jpg
[12:08] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> of=/dev/sda+500
[12:10] <keithzg> mparillo: 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.
[12:11] <keithzg> Anyways 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 :P
[12:11] <keithzg> (Which is maybe why I keep disconnecting from the server? Or is Libera often this flakey?)
[12:20] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Hi BluesKaj :)
[12:32] <BluesKaj> @Halis, hi
[12:38] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Do you know what /dev/sda+500 will correspond to?
[12:42] <BluesKaj> partition size perhaps, never seen a +500 attached to partition name
[12:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Oh, I found it! I accidentally run this command:
[12:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> sudo dd bs=64M if=/opt/lubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sda+500
[12:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> And I was scared as hell, that I messed up
[12:43] <BluesKaj> so you added the +500?
[12:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> But it just created a file named sda+500 😂
[12:44] <lordievader> Is that not simply interpreted as a filename?
[12:44] <lordievader> Indeed, you are just writing into a tempfs.
[12:45] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> That explains, why it took just 2s for 1.9G (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Indeed, you are just writing into a tempfs.)
[12:46] <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?)
[12:47] <lordievader> You are looking for the seek/skip options, see the manpage.
[12:50] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Thank you lordievadar and BluesKaj !
[13:51] <IrcsomeBot> <Halis> Does Kubuntu 21.10 use Wayland? I tried Lubuntu Beta, but it uses X11
[13:56] <BluesKaj> not yet, the devs are still working on configuring wayland for the kde/plasma desktop graphics
=== genii-core is now known as genii
[15:14] <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)
[15:17] <BluesKaj> 21.10 isn't officially released yet so the answer is not yet...maybe 22.04, but it's doubtful
[18:06] <mparillo> You 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 option
[18:07] <mparillo> My recommendation: Do not try it if you have Nvidia
[18:16] <mparillo> 21.10 Single Screen Intel should be almost there. I understand they recently got launch feedback (bouncy cursor) working on Wayland.
[19:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Student> Can't copy files from Manjaro drive to external hdd.. please help
[19:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Student> When i tried to copy the files, i am getting this error :- "Could not write to /run/media/peace/MY PASSPORT/Linux"

[19:45] <genii> Yes, everyone saw your issue the first two times you stated it, no need to keep posting it.
[19:46] <genii> This is the Kubuntu support, you may want to try finding another gateway which leads instead to the #manjaro support channel
[19:53] <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...
[19:54] <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..
[20:14] <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..)

[21:52] <keithzg> Gotta 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 :D
