[01:38] afternoon all... Would anyone know how to 'find and replace' in a text editor (I prefer gedit) to add a character (":") in between every character? [01:40] I'm creating custom global shortcuts in KDE and you need to add a : between each character for the send input option. Would be a big time saver === Hash is now known as LordOfThePings === LordOfThePings is now known as EnchanterTim [10:52] You can not find a empty charater, İ guess [10:53] But you could use a script or regex [11:28] wasnt a new release comming today? I have a new laptop and it would be a blast to have wifi and bluetooth [11:28] it still is [11:29] is there a count down counter somewhere? [11:29] !isitoutyet [11:29] Nah, Ubuntu 21.10 is not released yet, but you are welcome to anticipate it in #ubuntu-release-party [11:34] here's your countdown https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/party?iso=20211014T235959&p0=136&msg=Latest%20possible%20scheduled%20release%20date%20for%20Ubuntu%2021.10 [11:35] I do appreciate how people volunteer to find all the bugs for me, before I decide whether to install or not :) [11:36] oh i cant make the release party. im sleeping then. [11:39] btw i have an upstream kernel installed to get wifi working. Can i upgrade with that kernel installed or should i remove it and use a cable for the upgrade === CaffeinatedTech1 is now known as CaffeinatedTech === EnchanterTim is now known as LordOfThePings === LordOfThePings is now known as Hash === genii-core is now known as genii [14:01] Hi folks [14:29] Hi BluesKaj [14:31] @Halis, Hi === Iamthehuman is now known as Iamthehuman1 [17:34] hello all [18:05] daft: it's released, in case you're not asleep, yet [18:22] can anyone help with login password recovery or reset [18:23] for the life of me I cannot remember my password to an older computer running Kubuntu and I need to recover some files on it. [18:32] In the GRUB menu add an uppercase S to the end of the boot line [18:33] This wiil make it boot in single-user (root) where you can then use the passwd command to change the user password for your normal account [18:34] when I load the GRUB, it simply follows a procedure without allowing any input on my part [18:38] There is usually a key to make it stop on the menu without autobooting, sometimes ESC. But I usually just use the up/down keyboard arrows. The idea is select the top entry, hit the e key to edit. Add the S to the end. I think it's the F10 key to boot it after this [18:39] It's been a while since I needed to make temp changes to the boot parameters like this, but it's the basic procedure you need [18:40] ok, Ill give that a try [18:47] thanks for the help guys, i finally got it === vietor is now known as vietor__ === vietor__ is now known as vietor === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === genii is now known as genii-core
