[09:16] <Mrokii>  Hello. How can I prevent Disocver from updating a certain package or at least prevent it to do automatic updates?
[09:58] <alkisg> Mrokii: sudo apt-mark hold package
[10:12] <Mrokii> alkisg: Thanks, but I fear it is a bit more involved than that, as I wanted to prevent the Firefox-deb to be updated to a snap-version. I may have found a solution on askubuntu.com, but I'm not 100% sure yet.
[10:13] <alkisg> Mrokii: for that, see my comment #16 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1962021
[10:49] <Ben23> equal sign key  shows pointer. I want it to work as an equal sign key. How do I switch that off. I want the equal sign key to work as an equal sign key.
[10:50] <Ben23> It shows a green disc around the pointer.
[10:50] <Ben23> I can't find an option in accessibility to switch it off.
[10:50] <Ben23> Please help.
[10:54] <alkisg> Ben23: in which program? E.g. if you type it in a terminal, does it still show up like that?
[10:55] <Ben23> yes even in the terminal.
[10:55] <Ben23> I'll try to take a screenshot.
[10:59] <Ben30> Same Ben as before. screenshot would not upload.
[10:59] <Ben30> equal sign problem guy.
[11:00] <Ben30> So it seems to be global short cut problem then?
[11:03] <Ben30> unable to upload screenshot. I'll try to described what it looks like.
[11:05] <Ben30> It's a green disk with a tiny circle in the middle which shows what the pointer in pointing at. I'd like to get rid of that and just have my equal sign key work as an equal sign key.
[11:07] <Ben30> Other info. I use the UK keyboard layout.
[11:07] <Ben30> and Kubuntu 22.04
[11:10] <Ben30> And I use the Microsoft comfort keyboard 3000.
[11:13] <Ben30> Help would be appreciated. :)
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:59] <Mrokii> alkisg: Thanks for pointing me to the bug-report. Some interesting info there, I guess I know how to get rid of that stuff completely now. At least until theres's another, even more draconian approach coming in the next upgrades.
[14:19] <cbreak> can I configure the color scheme / theme / visual appearance individually per activity?
[14:19] <cbreak> anything beyond having separate desktop images?
[14:41] <BluesKaj> cbreak, dunno, I haven't investigated differnt themes for activities/desktops
[14:42] <cbreak> I have a ... very deep hierarchy of things at the moment
[14:42] <cbreak> multiple activities, with multiple virtual desktops each, with programs on each of them that have multiple windows, usually, and have tabs in each window...

 hello :) i have a simple question that a screenshot will describe much better than I can

 Hi
[19:31] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Hi!
 How can i check kubuntu 22.04 file befor install it into a labtop
[19:32] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Hold on one moment...
 Ok
[19:35] <arraybolt3[m]> There's a hard way to do it, but I'm making an easier way.
 Ok that is better cuz im a noob
[19:43] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: OK, here's where I put a pre-verified, known-good Sha256 hash for Kubuntu 22.04. https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/ubuntu-hashes/tree/main/kubuntu/22.04
[19:44] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: In your file manager, go to wherever you put your Kubuntu 22.04 ISO file, then right click in an empty area and click "Open Terminal".
[19:44] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Then run "sha256sum ./<name of ISO file here>", replacing the placeholder with the name of the ISO file.
[19:45] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Finally, carefully compare the output with the contents of the file I put a link to, and if they match, your ISO is good.
[19:45] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Write it to your USB flash drive with Startup Disk Creator, which will automatically verify that the ISO file was properly written to the flash drive.
 Ok thank u
[19:48] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Also, if you want to be really sure the hash is correct, also compare the file hash with this: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/22.04/release/SHA256SUMS
[19:48] <arraybolt3[m]> Both this file and the one on GitHub I linked to should be identical, and should contain the same hash as the one you get from sha256sum.
 where should i download Sha256 hash in this web page (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: OK, here's where I put a pre-verified, known-good Sha256 hash for Kubuntu 22.04. https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/ubuntu-hashes/tree/main/kubuntu/22.04)
[19:52] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Click the "SHA256SUMS" file in there. It will display the contents of the file. That's all you need.
 nothing to download? (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Click the "SHA256SUMS" file in there. It will display the contents of the file. That's all you need.)
[19:54] <arraybolt3[m]> Nothing to download. The weird-looking string at the beginning of the file is the hash. It's like an ID code that tells you whether or not a file has been changes. The sha256sum command should spit out a similar looking code, and if the file is good, the codes should be identical.
 they are identical
[20:00] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Fantastic! Then your ISO file is good and you can write it to a USB drive and use it to install!
 thank you so much (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Fantastic! Then your ISO file is good and you can write it to a USB drive and use it to install!)
[20:02] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: 👍
 what should i do in BIOS mane ?
[20:03] <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Try hitting Esc during very early boot and see if you can get to a boot menu. Once you do that, select the USB drive to boot from it.
 ok
 I haven't read all of the previous messages, but if you have Windows, you can hold shift while pressing Restart. From there you can boot from USB
 Ok
