IrcsomeBot<Oov> I have 5 backgs i can't upgrade by sudo apt upgrade03:05
enigma9o7[m]Do you want to upgrade t hem?03:26
enigma9o7[m]If so, first try `apt full-upgrade` and if that doesnt do it, check policy and share here (apt policy packagename)03:28

IrcsomeBot<Pixel> Hi, as there is a new, finally open sourced nvidia driver, I'm just wondering when will the Kubuntu take advantage of it. I'm not sure if this is the task for Kernel devs, Ubuntu devs, Kubuntu devs or KDE devs... But at some point this new driver should appear as new option, next to the proprietary one in the Driver Manage, right?10:47

tomreynPixel: I don't think this is really KDE related, or not much. It's rather something the Ubuntu X team (which handles the graphics stack) will work on.11:32
tomreynPixel: I assume you read https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/ which may answer some of your questions, if you read it slowly.11:32
tomreynespecially the "upstream approach" paragraph should be relevant.11:34

ivan_i am trying to install openoffice from the discover package manager but only libre is listed there...do i need to add a repository? sorry i am new to linux and i am so confused about installations. the command line is even more confusing since i dont know what i am doing/typing12:19
ivan_well i am browsing reddit and many say that open office is outdated...so i guess for compatiliblity with ms, i should install onlyoffice or libre?12:21
memphistocan't you use libreoffice ?12:24
memphistoyou can install libreoffice, wps-office,onlyoffice and see which one suits you the best12:25
memphistoor have them all12:25
ivan_i need the one that is most compatible with ms, not sure how to test that except for opening 1000 files in each programm. is there a concensus, at least for ms word?12:30
ivan_the ui is not that important for now12:31
memphistoit's hit and miss on any of mentioned office applicatoins12:32
memphistoinstall and try12:32
memphistomostly I use libreoffice, but i have wps-office installed too12:33
memphistosometimes it can read some docs better12:33
ivan_ok,thank you so much12:35
ivan_i am reading now that you can add fotns to libre which should improve compatibility12:36

BluesKajHi all13:02
PokeyHey Kubuntu, puzzling over some remote headless stuff. Whenever I login locally everything is fine, but logging in headless using x2go or XRDP requires me to authenticate a bunch of stuff and the WiFi toggle does not work etc. What might be the reason for this?14:15
IrcsomeBot<zparihar> This person cut into Kubuntu LTS.  I agree with some of what was mentioned:15:30
IrcsomeBot<zparihar> https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/kubuntu-jammy.html15:30
IrcsomeBot<zparihar> I'm not sure these bugs/usability points were reported though15:30
user|77am trying to install Kubuntu, but every time it says to remove installation disk, it says there no cache page. what can I do15:37
enigma9o7[m]soundsl ike a bug, but does it even matter?  by the time it says to remove the install disk, its done installing, you can just reboot....15:38
user|77No, I have to go back to the first steps----try or install15:41
enigma9o7[m]Is "no cache page" the actual exact error mesage?  As it has very few search results.  I dunno, sounds weird.15:57
enigma9o7[m]do you have more than one drive or os?  or just default partitioning?15:59
enigma9o7[m]could try disabling things in bios like secure boot16:00
user|13hi16:36
user|13my mouse scroll isn't working, nor when you click it (it should ackt as double click)16:37
user|13no, sorry it works as double clik16:37
enigma9o7[m]Hmmmm shouldn't it be middle click?16:38
user|13middle click, right16:41
user|13scroll isn't working for sure16:42
user|13how to troubleshoot16:42
enigma9o7[m]Bummer.16:42
user|13In system settings there aren't many control for mice16:43
enigma9o7[m]Not sure, hopefully somebody knows.  Mine "just works" as I'd imagine most peoples does.16:43
user|13mine was working, but it was flaky16:44
enigma9o7[m]Could it be hardware failure then?16:44
user|13it might, but how could i troubleshoot it16:45
user|13don't have 2nd pc16:45
enigma9o7[m]Try another OS live boot?16:45
enigma9o7[m]download an iso of some distro you're curious about and live boot it16:46
user|13yes, that's an option16:46
enigma9o7[m]if it happens to work there, well then you'd know its not hardware problem and likely a settings problem16:46
enigma9o7[m]but if it doesnt work, doesnt tell you anything much16:46
user|13but is there some command in kubuntu to check HW (mouse)16:47
enigma9o7[m]xinput16:48
enigma9o7[m]but thats just a list, not really helpful16:48
enigma9o7[m]can enable and disable stuff with it16:48
user|13ok , found it16:50
user|13https://askubuntu.com/questions/17414/my-mouse-wheel-has-stopped-scrolling-up-and-down16:50
user|13and it doesn't register scroll16:50
user|13so it's HW issue after all16:50
user|13which is a bummer as you said16:50
user|13thanks for you time and help16:52
user|62I want to put UBUNTU/ KUBUNTU on a Dell /pentium based notebook. But I am downloading w/ an AMD machine. Can I do a regular "amd" download here for that Dell?18:30
enigma9o7[m]Yes.18:31
enigma9o7[m]As long as you have enough bits, which you do.18:32
user|62Thank you18:32
