[01:38] <zztopless> 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] <zztopless> 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
 You can not find a empty charater, İ guess
 But you could use a script or regex
[11:28] <daft> wasnt a new release comming today? I have a new laptop and it would be a blast to have wifi and bluetooth
[11:28] <tomreyn> it still is
[11:29] <daft> is there a count down counter somewhere?
[11:29] <tomreyn> !isitoutyet
[11:34] <tomreyn> 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] <TJ-> I do appreciate how  people volunteer to find all the bugs for me, before I decide whether to install or not :)
[11:36] <daft> oh i cant make the release party. im sleeping then.
[11:39] <daft> 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
[14:01] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 Hi BluesKaj
[14:31] <BluesKaj> @Halis, Hi
[17:34] <Guest84> hello all
[18:05] <tomreyn> daft: it's released, in case you're not asleep, yet
[18:22] <Guest55> can anyone help with login password recovery or reset
[18:23] <Guest55> 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] <genii> In the GRUB menu add an uppercase S to the end of the boot line
[18:33] <genii> 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] <Guest55> when I load the GRUB, it simply follows a procedure without allowing any input on my part
[18:38] <genii> 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] <genii> 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] <Guest55> ok, Ill give that a try
[18:47] <Guest55> thanks for the help guys, i finally got it
