[05:30] <magic_ninja> how can I check my firmware version for amdgpu
 i wanna install a theme and i get this
 Download of "Win11OS-light Global Theme" failed, error: SETTINGS invalid number of concurrent streams
[11:17] <arraybolt3[m]> This is odd, I've seen other people reporting this exact same problem. This is probably a bug in Kubuntu.
 Ok
 talking to me or oskar ? (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> This is odd, I've seen other people reporting this exact same problem. This is probably a bug in Kubuntu.)
[11:19] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: You. This "invalid number of concurrent streams" thing.
 haa (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: You. This "invalid number of concurrent streams" thing.)
[11:20] <arraybolt3[m]> I think you're the second or third person who's noticed this. I may try to replicate this and report it.
 i hope to fix it soon
 So i got an error 2, when i wanna download themes
 Om 22.04
[11:21] <arraybolt3[m]> The problem is I have no clue how to fix it, and other people have been remarkably silent when this issue comes up, suggesting they don't know how to fix it either.
 it is a small bug but it dose matters (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> The problem is I have no clue how to fix it, and other people have been remarkably silent when this issue comes up, suggesting they don't know how to fix it either.)
[11:22] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: That makes three or four of you. This has to be a bug. I'll get a good bug report written soon.
 Arraybolt, ibgotna pc from a friend, but i just can download dev version when i do release upgrade.. normal release upgrade says that no dev version is found
[11:25] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: That's normal. Upgrades from 20.04 to 22.04 aren't usually allowed until a bit after 22.04.1 is released. Using the "development version" upgrade in this instance will actually let you upgrade early, it doesn't upgrade you to the latest development release.
 Okay and how can i get from 22.04 dev to normal 22.04?
 Dont want to reinstall
[11:27] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: I don't think 22.04 dev is a thing. The current dev version is 22.10. The "development" upgrade just upgrades you to 22.04 in this particular scenario.
 Ok so it is the 22.04 from homepage?
[11:28] <arraybolt3[m]> (Really, Ubuntu should have an extra switch when doing the release upgrade just for early upgrades, but instead they decided to make the "-d" option work differently in one particular scenario.)
[11:28] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Yep. Pretty sure.
 Ok nice so my friend got the new version 😊👍
[11:28] <arraybolt3[m]> 👍️
 THOUGHT he would be an early adopter
[11:32] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: LOL I upgraded to 22.04 pretty quickly, too. Loving it so far.
 On 22.04 it causes a steam error in a paticular situation
[11:34] <arraybolt3[m]> I remember that. Still not sure what exactly went wrong there. I can't help but think maybe Steam had uploaded a bad .deb file or something and that by the time we tried to replicate it the file had been fixed. At least one of the times this mess happened before, it was because of something like that.
[11:34] <arraybolt3[m]> Still, scary. Way too close for comfort.
 Steam gets updates regulary 1 to 3 days after every restart
 What i have seen so far
 On Windows its daily updated
[11:36] <arraybolt3[m]> Man. I'll keep an eye out for anyone else who has a similar problem.
 I will try a release upgrade too on my notebook. Wothout the 5.18 kerbel and without installing steam (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Still, scary. Way too close for comfort.)
 Sonnow ibhave to know what to do afrer release upgrade
[11:38] <arraybolt3[m]> OK. But make sure your data is backed up and everything, since release upgrades are notorious for breaking systems (though not like Steam does sometimes...).
 Yes😊
 Whats the important things to do after a release upgrade?
[11:39] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Nothing much that I know of. Make sure all your software still works so you don't get any surprises. That's the best I can think of.
 Wanted to do it on my friends pc, when ive done this, i can do it on my machine as well
 Delete old packages and such things
 And set the sources up
[11:40] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: You may want to remove any software installed through PPAs before upgrading though. There's a way to upgrade with them still in place, but you're usually supposed to remove them first, then add them back when you're done.
 Dont know how to clear sources
[11:41] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: AFAIK, Ubuntu's release upgrade handles that stuff for you.
 The sources from 20.04 are still in his sources list but deactivated hebwant me to clear this up
[11:42] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Oh. Odd, didn't know about that. If they're commented out, I don't think there's any need to mess with them, but I guess you can remove the commented lines if you want.
 Ok... Then i dont do anything about this when i delete the false ones in accident, updates go wrong
[11:44] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: And as far as removing old packages goes, a simple "sudo apt autoremove" or "sudo apt autopurge" ought to do the trick (though make sure that you don't uninstall 90% of the OS if you do this - removing certain software from your system could end up messing with your dependencies and confusing apt when you go to do an autoremove, so if it looks like it's going to uninstall way too much stuff, that's because it probably is.
 Yes
 And is there any spotify client, other than snap? The snap version has a freezing bug when you choose to change the sound quality.
 In the list of sound quality xou just can choose automatic , not low or very high?
 Its a bug from snap package
[11:48] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: There's the Flatpak version too, I didn't end up having a system explosion when using it, so I don't think the problem with Steam was specific to Steam + Flatpak.
 Whe i install flatpak, you only get flatpaks not the deb version anymore i noticed so far
[11:50] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Oy. Maybe you can install flatpak but not install the Discover extension and just install Flatpaks from the command line?
 Ok how can i do this from command line?
[11:51] <arraybolt3[m]> flatpak install flathub com.spotify.Client
 Ok thank you
 In flatpak version i know that this bug is non existent
 On 22.04 the spzrces for kubuntu are non existent release data available
 Sources
[11:55] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Is it not allowing you to upgrade?
 I added the flat pak repositories for kubuntu on his pc, but it says there is no release candidate
 Sonits disabled
[11:57] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Flatpak should be available as part of the Ubuntu repositories, no need to add any external repos.
[11:57] <arraybolt3[m]> The external repos mentioned in the Flathub setup guide for Ubuntu are for old versions of Ubuntu.
 Ok then i try it without them
 I put on the discover extension, so hebgets newer versions of program, when he uses apt hebgets other software too
 No remote refs found for com.spotify.client
[12:01] <arraybolt3[m]> Check for typos, that's the best I can figure.
 How?
[12:02] <arraybolt3[m]> Like, just make sure you didn't make any typos in your commands. Other than that, I don't know what's gone wrong. I got the command for installing Spotify straight off of Flathub.
 Ok i restart now and try again
 No remote refs available
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/5ed716ae/file_57735.jpg
 It deactivates the sources from itself
 Its notbsafe it is saying all the time
[12:15] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: You still have the Flatpak PPA enabled on your system. That's probably the problem.
 How to disable
[12:15] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: First, do "sudo apt purge flatpak" to clean up.
 Done
[12:16] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Now, run "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d". There should be a file with a very long name in there related to FlatPak.
 Flatpak uninstalled
[12:16] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Do you see the file I'm talking about?
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/1ce102c3/file_57736.jpg
[12:18] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/flatpak-ubuntu-stable-focal.list && sudo apt update
 Ok done
 Now reinstall?
[12:22] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Yeah.
 Thx
 Rebooting
 Ok worked for me
[12:25] <arraybolt3[m]> \o/
 Thank you now i learned something new
[12:28] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Nice. Hey, as you use your system, make sure Google Chrome and Skype are staying updated - it looks like you upgraded your system with them in place, and in the event that they stop getting updates, you may want to remove the old PPA files and reinstall them. (Not that you need to do that now, but if you notice them no longer getting updates, that's a fix to try.)
 Ok thank you i reinstall them
[12:29] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Make sure to back up any saved passwords in Chrome first!
[12:29] <arraybolt3[m]> (Your Google account might do that automatically, but better safe than sorry.)
 No passwords saved 😊
[12:30] <arraybolt3[m]> 👍️
 Should i do the same thing for chrome like for flatpak and skype? I installed them from website
 Done it and worked perfectly.
[12:37] <arraybolt3[m]> Woot!
 Skype was uninstalled at the upgrade
 So i just had to remove the list
 Donyou know why linux shows 12 corea but i have just 6 cores in my processor?
[12:54] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oskar: Hyperthreading. Many modern CPUs have a technology that allows each CPU core to provide two "threads" or logical processors. It helps speed up your system.
 Ok thanks
 Good to know 😊
[13:47] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[16:19] <Juanmorel> saludos!
[16:37] <Ondy> Hello guys.
[16:38] <Ondy> Can i have a question?
[16:39] <mybalzitch> absolutely. I'd like to know how to easily enable uefi
[16:39] <alkisg> !ask
[16:40] <alkisg> mybalzitch: you enable uefi in the bios settings, then when you boot from an installation usb stick you press f12 to see the bios boot manager and select "uefi: stick" there  instead of plain "stick"
[16:40] <mybalzitch> alkisg: *without reinstalling
[16:40] <mybalzitch> *easily enable booting via UEFI from a system installed w/ CSM support enabled
[16:41] <alkisg> mybalzitch: what's the output of these commands? (sudo lsblk --fs; ls /sys/firmware/efi) | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:41] <mybalzitch> I'm not in linux currently, and I have to boot w/ csm off. I just get the grub promp if I try to boot my install w/ uefi on
[16:44] <Ondy> Hello guys. I would like to make my laptop with 3 OS systems. Windows, Kubuntu and ChromeOS (Chrome OS required in my job). Is there any chance how to do it? But there is also one problem. I have only one HDD and it have so many diferent things there... like for example it have emergency Live ISO of win 8.... But i would like to wipe it. I know,
[16:44] <Ondy> more quiestions etc but before i will do some damage, i would rather ask than actually do...
[16:49] <tomreyn> Ondy: there is probably a better channel to get help with installing chrome OS and windows on your specific computer (it may not be possible to isntall some of them on some computers, due to their hardware or firmware and the requirements these OSes have).
[16:49] <tomreyn> Ondy: kubuntu can run on many computers, but not all. what hardware do you have there?
 Can i use picom compositor with kde plasma ?
[16:50] <Ondy> basicly my laptop is Acer Aspire E15 (E5-572G-74LM)
[16:51] <Ondy> tomreyn: Acer Aspire E15 (E5-572G-74LM)... 4th gen Intel i7, some GPU, 1tb hdd, 8gb ddr3 ram.....
 Yea can installl no problem at all (re @IrcsomeBot: <Ondy> tomreyn: Acer Aspire E15 (E5-572G-74LM)... 4th gen Intel i7, some GPU, 1tb hdd, 8gb ddr3 ram.....)
 At starting u may hv to deal with some issue , due to less support of hardware with linux kernel
 , But good to go (re @IrcsomeBot: <Ondy> tomreyn: Acer Aspire E15 (E5-572G-74LM)... 4th gen Intel i7, some GPU, 1tb hdd, 8gb ddr3 ram.....)
[16:53] <tomreyn> yes, this should be fine. just a bit slow, due to the older hardware.
 How about this? (re @milesdredd: Can i use picom compositor with kde plasma ?)
[16:55] <Ondy> Its quicker than windows.... I just need to keep win10 there because when i was testing Kubuntu once, my wifi was dropping on and off like a yo-yo........
[16:56] <tomreyn> that's usually due to hardware with bad linux support.
[16:57] <tomreyn> yo may need to install and maintain a driver for it manually.
[16:59] <Ondy> so if i will go to the website of acer, i may install the drivers?
 Hi
 I've lost my panel :(, and I've  created default one
 but kicker doesn't start with alt+f1 nor with super key
 and when  adding widgets i can see that application launcher is seen twice
 how to remove invisible one completly
 or make it visible again
 plasma 5.18.8
 kubuntu 20.4
 "<milesdredd> How about this? (re..." <- Ping
[19:13] <arraybolt3[m]> @milesdredd: Technically you can, but you'd have to mess with the guts of your system quite a bit. KDE's window manager (KWin) comes with compositing built-in, so there's no need for an extra compositor, and unless you switch from KWin to another window manager, it will interfere with other compositors. And taking KWin out of KDE may make your system look... ugly.
[19:15] <arraybolt3[m]> @milesdredd: If you need a system with picom, I'd recommend trying Lubuntu rather than Kubuntu - it ships with compton and picom available on the system, but neither one is enabled by default - you can start them directly from the Application Menu.
[19:15] <arraybolt3[m]> (And since Openbox, the window manager used by Lubuntu, doesn't have compositing built in, you won't have to do an overhaul on your system to get picom in there.)
