=== FuqMarryKill is now known as JHMFK === thopiekar_ is now known as thopiekar [03:24] Trying to update to 21.10, but when I run the command in the terminal I get "Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release." [03:25] Also find it odd that even though I thought I had fully updated to 21.04, it still says I'm on 20.04 in the info center [03:41] I recommend following the directions found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImpishUpgrades/Kubuntu (re @IrcsomeBot: Also find it odd that even though I thought I had fully updated to 21.04, it still says I'm on 20.04 in the info center) [03:41] This worked for me: sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop [04:26] PRIVET [05:02] * calwig hugs Kubuntu [05:02] I LOVE THIS DISTRO [05:27] until you update and konsole doesn't handle urls properly anymore [06:04] good morning [06:57] FCIL [07:51] greetings, I suddenly can't launch plasma. When I login using sddm, nothing happens. My drive light flashes quickly then that's it. I tried everything I know Even reinstalling kde-full. I also tried form other user accounts I have o my laptop. All have same problem. I even tried using gdm. Same result. I can ogin using other desktops I have installed like gnome and xfce. Please any suggestions. [08:59] greetings, I suddenly can't login anymore. I'm stuck on sddm login screen. I tried other user accounts I have on my laptop and all have the same issue. [09:03] also, why does startx launch gnome instead of plasma? === Iamthehuman is now known as Iamthehuman1 [12:12] greetings, how cn I reinstall kubuntu without messing with my existing configurations? [12:33] iomari891: if you mean /home/user configuration, then by reinstalling and selecting "yes use the existing partition WITHOUT formatting it", then /home is preserved [12:33] If you mean "reinstall but preserve /etc configuration", I'm not sure that has any point or if it's possible [12:34] If you want to purge all gnome related packages and reinstall all kubuntu ones, sure that can be done too [12:35] But in general, avoid installing multiple desktop environments as this use case isn't very much tested and multiple services may run, or even problems may arise [12:44] Hi folks [13:02] alkisg: understood but I've had gnome and kde installed together for ages and never had an issue. I upgraded to 21.10 ont the 15th and alsohad no issues. But Saturday night, I shut down, went home and when I booted my kachine, Im stuck on the login screen. If I got to tty console and come back to gui, Ihave a black screen with the mouse pointer. I've reinstalled kde-full and still no luck. [13:03] damn typos [13:05] iomari891: you can check your .xsession-errors for possible troubleshooting tips [13:06] alkisg: thanks [13:06] While if you want to run a few things manually, you can replace Exec=plasmashell with xterm in /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop (I'm not mate currently I can't check the names exactly) [13:06] That way when you login you get a plain xterm, and from there you can start running plasmashell and kwin etc etc, so that you see all the messages along with what does what [13:07] *I'm on mate... [13:09] wonder if gnome using wayland and kde/plasma on xorg could be part of the issue [13:10] Theoretically /usr/share/xsessions are for xorg sessions, all display managers should know that [13:10] There's another dir for wayland... [13:10] Hmm, but if kubuntu adds something in the wayland dir... /me checks... [13:11] theory...hmm [13:28] alkisg: btw, there is no plasmashell command. [13:29] forgot to mention that [13:29] You'll find the exact command in the Exec line [13:29] Let me find it for you [13:30] It's called startplasma-x11 [13:30] ok [13:30] While plasmashell IS a command and I think represents the menu etc [13:30] dpkg -S /usr/bin/plasmashell => plasma-workspace [13:31] Do you have the plasma-workspace package installed? [13:31] display is not set or cannot conect to x server [13:31] How are you running this, from vt2? [13:31] when I run startplasma-x11 [13:31] This was supposed to be run from the xterm [13:31] After you modified the Exec line [13:32] Anyway, do you have the plasma-workspace package installed? [13:32] yes. reinstalled it many times [13:32] Then you do have /usr/bin/plasmashell, right? [13:32] I actual reinstalled kde-full [13:32] Because you said you didn't have that command [13:33] kde-full is a metapackage [13:33] yes, but it installed 700 meg of stuff [13:33] reinstalled [13:33] > Then you do have /usr/bin/plasmashell, right? [13:34] A metapackage may miss recommended packages if you uninstalled them manually before you tried reinstalling the metapackage [13:34] yes I do. You're right [13:34] It will pull depends:, but not recommends: [13:34] Do you want to pastebin your .xsession-errors? [13:35] If you see sensitive stuff, remove it; although there shouldn't be... [13:35] That may be difficult. I'm working from the terminal no gui remember. [13:37] letme see if I can get it to my phone first then maybe I can mail it to you. [13:47] alkisg: ok, how can I send it? It's phone phone now. [13:57] cat ~/.xsession-errors | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:00] sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop [14:00] Replace Exec=/usr/bin/startplasma-x11 with xterm [14:00] And you'll be able to login in a plain xterm [14:00] From there, you can try to run plasmashell etc [14:00] And see where it doesn't make it [14:05] alkisg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HKDzfsGDFZ [14:13] alkisg: when I run plasmashell from xterm, it reports that dbus is incorrectly setup. [14:28] That's not a problem, you should have ran dbus first. It does run though, right? [14:29] * alkisg is doing something atm, I'll have a look at xsession-errors a bit later... [14:34] iomari891: run this: sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id [14:35] And, what's the output of: ls -l /etc/machine-id [14:43] alkisg: thanks for al your help. This solved it: sudo dbus-uuidgen --ensure [15:01] https://irc-attachments.kde.org/b2ac845e/file_48485.jpg [15:01] Any idea what this is - after 21.10 upgrade [15:01] 👍️ [15:05] Hi everyone, I recently installed KDE LTS version everything is fine but when I plugged in my headset the microphone does not work, I have tested everything that I found on google but it did not work. Do you have any suggestions? [15:11] Hi everyone, I recently installed Kubuntu LTS version everything is fine but when I plugged in my headset the microphone does not work, I have tested everything that I found on google but it did not work. Do you have any suggestions? [15:28] https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ec5fcbc2/file_48489.jpg [15:29] Two more lines at reboot [16:02] turns out the nvidia driver is to blame. switching in the BIOS to the integrated intel graphics fixes the issue [16:02] nvidia= endless headdaches === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === genii-core is now known as genii [17:24] nvidia= endless headaches [17:48] I'm looking for a remote desktop solution that works about as good as windows RDP. Specifically I'm looking for: 1. Sound redirection 2. Matching the resolution of the client machine 3. Connecting to the main console session (not requiring logging out). I've tried a few different things but none of them really do any of those things well, if at all. Any suggestions? [18:07] xfreerdp is as close as you can get. Or go commercial, anydesk, teamviewer etc [19:31] greetings, I have 2 test servers both with a 1G interface and a 10G interface. How can I copy files between the 2 servers using a particular interface? [19:49] iomari891: set up a preferred route [21:54] What is the model of the headset? What kind of headset is it? (re @aliz9271: Hi everyone, I recently installed Kubuntu LTS version everything is fine but when I plugged in my headset the microphone does not work, I have tested everything that I found on google but it did not work. Do you have any suggestions?) [23:13] @DarinMiller [23:13] Are you one of the core Kubuntu Devs? [23:14] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/~darinmiller [23:14] Thanks (re @IrcsomeBot: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/~darinmiller) [23:15] I would like to collaborate with Kubuntu core team on a Collaborative OpenOS-Release. [23:15] That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process. [23:16] Rik and Santa are the primary devs. [23:17] Could you share their Telegram pings or contact information? [23:17] Please/Thanks (re @DarinMiller: Rik and Santa are the primary devs.) [23:17] What are your current duties within the greater Kubuntu community? (re @DarinMiller: That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process.) [23:18] What are your current duties within the greater Kubuntu community? [23:18] What are your currently working on? (re @DarinMiller: That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process.) [23:20] I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's and ISO releases. [23:21] Do you have some spare time? (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's and ISO releases.) [23:21] OSP uses EGGS to build its ISO files. (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's and ISO releases.) [23:22] What is your ppa experience level @ as of this point in time? (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's and ISO releases.) [23:24] Feel free to pm me unless the conversation is valuable to other Kubuntu users. I am currently at work but heading home shortly. [23:27] Well I would like to discuss that collaborative release & you can point me to those individuals whom may be interested in being liaison developers...? [23:27] Should we stay in group or move to PM? [23:27] Also I asked if you had some spare time to have a one-on-one AnyDesk through Flatpak binary remote test drive of the current build environment of OSP so you can get a feel & understand more of the project & it's goals/missions? (re @DarinMiller: Feel free to pm me unless the conversation is valuable to other Kubuntu users. I am currently at work but heading home shortly.) [23:30] anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is [23:35] I have some spare time. Right now i am heading home by bike so unable to respond for 50 minutes. [23:35] The OSP features a mixed App Repo with a PWA first model using Linux Mint Web App Manager & Brave as the browser backend. [23:35] Then Snap is second citizen model. [23:35] Flatpak is Third citizen model. [23:35] Apt/Deb/RPM is fourth citizen model. [23:35] AppImage & Scripts/Executables are fifth citisen model. (re @IrcsomeBot: anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is) [23:36] rpm ? really? [23:36] Which if AnyDesk has a official or unofficial Snap it would be featured instead of the unofficial Flatpak of AnyDesk. (re @IrcsomeBot: anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is) [23:36] Yes for Fedora base/rootfs release of OSP. (re @IrcsomeBot: rpm ? really?) [23:37] nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs [23:38] I was just explaining the OSP's App Repo for the project as a whole... (re @IrcsomeBot: nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs) [23:39] The OSP has 3 seed distros. [23:39] Primary Seed Distro = KDE Neon [23:39] Secondary Seed Distro = GalliumOS [23:39] Third Seed Distro = ChromiumOS/KromiumOS (re @IrcsomeBot: nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs) [23:39] https://irc-attachments.kde.org/9fc9fdc7/file_48499.jpg [23:39] https://irc-attachments.kde.org/6f25957e/file_48500.jpg [23:40] Would you like to connect to my build environment? (re @DarinMiller: I have some spare time. Right now i am heading home by bike so unable to respond for 50 minutes.) [23:41] Each subgroups invite links can be easily searched for using Telegram Client[s] which includes forked clients in channel/group search tools.
