 #ask
 I've been switching from windows to linux this week (dual boot windows + kubuntu), even though it's not 100%
 I want to ask... how come the sound on Linux seems a bit broken, doesn't it? different times on windows.
 is there a solution?
[02:51] <glenix> hello
[03:08] <R13ose> 22.04 - My laptop froze earlier and when I came back, the wifi and bluetooth icons on the panel disappeared and I can't connect to either of them.  How do I bring them back and turn them on again?
[03:10] <arraybolt3[m]> This might be silly, but did you shut the system all the way down and turn it back on again?
[03:11] <R13ose> Not yet!  I'm only trying to shut the system as the last resort.
[03:12] <arraybolt3[m]> R13ose: OK. Well, I know a trick for resietting just Bluetooth.
[03:12] <arraybolt3[m]> *Resetting
[03:12] <R13ose> Let's try
[03:12] <arraybolt3[m]> Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, then run "sudo modprobe -r btusb".
[03:12] <arraybolt3[m]> Then once that's done, wait a bit, then run "sudo modprobe btusb".
[03:13] <arraybolt3[m]> That will shut down the Bluetooth driver and then turn it back on.
[03:15] <R13ose> That worked.
[03:15] <R13ose> Now what about wifi and getting back the icons on the panel?
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/a550c07d/file_58044.jpg
[03:30] <R13ose> I got wifi to work and the panel icon to come back on.  Now to get the bluetooth icon to come back.
[03:30] <arraybolt3[m]> R13ose: Nice going on WiFi. For Bluetooth... hmm.
[03:31] <R13ose> Thanks
[03:33] <arraybolt3[m]> Can you try "sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service"?
 this is what it looks like (re @Oov: )
[03:34] <R13ose> arraybolt3[m]: that worked.  Thanks for your help
[03:34] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: OK, right-click the iso9660 partition and click Unmount, then send another screenshot.
[03:34] <arraybolt3[m]> R13ose: Glad to help, and glad it worked!
[03:35] <R13ose> :)
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/ac7de613/file_58045.jpg
 it worked
[03:36] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: Nice. MS-DOS partition table, then send another screenshot.
[03:36] <arraybolt3[m]> (Actually, I don't need the third screenshot I just realized.)
[03:36] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: Once the MS-DOS partition table is made, see the big bar at the top of the screen that represents the partitions? It will say "Unallocated" in it. Right-click it.
[03:37] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: Then click the "New" button, and change the filesystem to "fat32". Then click OK.
[03:37] <arraybolt3[m]> @Oov: Last step is to click "Apply" in the toolbar, confirm, and wait for it to format.
 witch type of partition should i create ?
[03:37] <arraybolt3[m]> fat32.
 gtp or ms-dos ?
 haa
 thanks
 Please help me ubi partman failed with exit code 141
 Thanks
[03:51] <arraybolt3[m]> @Gama1iel You're trying to install Kubuntu, right? Also, may I ask which version of Kubuntu you're using?
 20.04 sir (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> @Gama1iel You're trying to install Kubuntu, right? Also, may I ask which version of Kubuntu you're using?)
[03:53] <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Did you check the ISO file's SHA256 hash before writing it to the USB drive?
 I don't really know, because I'm still new to kubuntu
[03:56] <arraybolt3[m]> Ah. OK. Do you have another computer other than the one you're currently using?
[03:57] <arraybolt3[m]> (If so, we can make sure the ISO is written correctly to your USB drive.)
 Of course not, I'm using an office laptop (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Ah. OK. Do you have another computer other than the one you're currently using?)
[03:59] <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Oy. OK, you're booted into the "Try Kubuntu" screen, right?
 is there a possibility that my iso file is corrupted
[03:59] <arraybolt3[m]> (Or can you boot into the "Try Kubuntu" screen?)
[03:59] <arraybolt3[m]> Yes, it's possible the ISO is corrupted or the flash drive is bad.
[03:59] <arraybolt3[m]> It's also possible this was
[03:59] <arraybolt3[m]> just a random glitch.
[04:00] <arraybolt3[m]> Did you get all your important data off of the computer before trying this?
 No, im instal kubuntu not try kubuntu (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> (Or can you boot into the "Try Kubuntu" screen?))
[04:02] <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Right. But, you have two computers then, right? One that you're trying to install to and one that you're typing from?
 can you provide the iso file link, i will download again
[04:02] <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Yeah, sure.
 I'm typing using my phone sir (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Right. But, you have two computers then, right? One that you're trying to install to and one that you're typing from?)
[04:03] <arraybolt3[m]> Oy. OK. Well, are you still able to boot the computer into Windows?
[04:03] <arraybolt3[m]> If not, then the "Try Kubuntu" feature will give you the ability to use the computer again so that we can get it back up and running normally.
 yes you can sir (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oy. OK. Well, are you still able to boot the computer into Windows?)
[04:04] <arraybolt3[m]> Then we can get a new USB drive ready with Kubuntu and try to install again.
[04:04] <arraybolt3[m]> Whew. OK, if you've not already backed up all of your files and data on this system, do so now, so that if things go wrong, you have a recovery plan.
[04:05] <arraybolt3[m]> (Unless this is a brand-new computer, of course.)
[04:07] <arraybolt3[m]> Gama1iel: Kubuntu link: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/22.04/release/kubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso (Note that this is Kubuntu 22.04, which I'm giving you because Kubuntu 20.04 goes out of support in about 9 months.)
[04:07] <arraybolt3[m]> If you really wanted 20.04, here's the link to that: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/20.04.4/release/kubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso
[04:18] <user|41> im having trouble running the ISO on windows 7, do i need an additional program to run the ISO?
[04:18] <arraybolt3[m]> user|41: You don't run it. You flash it to a USB drive and boot from it. BalenaEtcher should let you do that.
[04:19] <user|41> awesome possum
[04:26] <magic_ninja> why does matrix make it so unobvious when it comes to signing up for an account
[04:26] <magic_ninja> no kubuntu, but yea lol
 when the 22.04.1 will be released?
[06:21] <alkisg> In August
[06:51] <kena> hi!
 4th August (re @Oov: when the 22.04.1 will be released?)
[07:44] <user|83> how to install Kubuntu wia terminal&
[07:45] <mzamenski_de> You mean WSL?
[09:54] <jeronimo> No support tools were found for file systems currently present on hard disks in this computer:
[09:54] <jeronimo> Partition
[09:54] <jeronimo> File System
[09:54] <jeronimo> Support Tools
[09:54] <jeronimo> URL
[09:54] <jeronimo> /dev/nvme0n1p3
[09:57] <jeronimo> I was trying to read a disk previously managed by my qnap nas and try something I read on a forum(https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=114348).  They said reinstalling mdadm and lvm2 would make the kde partition manager recognize the volume group.
[09:58] <jeronimo> did I now break my system?
[09:58] <jeronimo> pfff
[09:58] <jeronimo> better do a backup I guess
[10:01] <jeronimo> sorry about the flooding
[10:08] <tomreyn> !paste | jeronimo
[10:08] <tomreyn> you can also pipe command output into   |& nc termbin.com 9999
[10:24] <jeronimo> tomreyn: thx
 Hm, something funny happened to firefox's address bar during the update. It's quite short now. https://i.imgur.com/QR9BN0M.png
 Can't seem to resize it
[11:06] <arraybolt3> @npeippo: Perhaps it's your Firefox theme's fault? See if switching to the default theme works - if so, switch back to your fancy theme and see if it still it working or if that breaks it.
 Let's try, thanks
 Nope, doesn't change anything in default theme
 I also tried customize toolbar -> restore defaults, but it doesn't help
 Everything was fine before the snap update yesterady :/
 It shows like this when the address bar is active, but there's still not enough room for the address https://i.imgur.com/lF3iDDP.png
 Oh, nice. Telegram doesn't open links anymore at all 🙃
[12:54] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:15] <grim_> Hello all.  My fairly recent install of 18.04 on dell xps 15 7590 hangs on boot. X fails to start, appearing to segfault when trying to set the screen mode.
[13:16] <grim_> Appears to happen when loading libglamoregl.so
[13:17] <arraybolt3[m]> grim_: Kubuntu 18.04 is EOL (though Ubuntu 18.04 is still supported). Can you try installing Kubuntu 22.04 and see if that resolves the problem?
[13:18] <grim_> Not an option at this moment unfortunately
[13:19] <arraybolt3[m]> grim_: Does your laptop have nVidia graphics?
[13:20] <grim_> arraybolt3[m]: yes, GeForce GTX 1650
[13:20] <arraybolt3[m]> grim_: If you chose to install the proprietary drivers, try skipping that. Or if you chose to not install the proprietary drivers, try doing that.
[13:27] <grim_> arraybolt3[m]: is a command-line dist upgrade likely to be feasible?
[13:29] <arraybolt3[m]> grim_: If this is a fresh install, yes.
[13:29] <arraybolt3[m]> You will need to be able to connect to the Internet - if you need WiFI, try using "nmtui" to connect.
[13:31] <grim_> 'reasonably' fresh.  lvm full-drive encryption a snag?
[13:31] <arraybolt3[m]> Probably not. I'd give it a shot (after backing up!), worst case scenario you can reinstall.
[13:33] <grim_> Yeah I would dearly love not to do that.
[13:34] <grim_> K thanks for the pointers
[13:34] <arraybolt3[m]> grim_: Do not attempt an upgrade unless you've backed up any important data. Upgrades can and do go horribly wrong, and if the reason you don't want to reinstall is because of a lack of backups, this is very dangerous.
 And what will be new? (re @RikMills: 4th August)
[14:24] <BluesKaj> @Oov ask in #kubuntu-devel
 Plasma bugfixes I hope, and other bugfixes (re @Oov: And what will be new?)
[15:41] <glenix> Hey guys can anyone help me I have a print server that I cant access when i type it into a web broswer but I can ping it... Its a dns issue im using papercut.. and for soem reason i cant get this figured out
 We got new kernel in kubuntu, but my sounddevice and formware from cpu not working
 Hope this get fixed until 5.20
 Whats the rumors about rust into the kernel?
 That would qualify as off-topic. (re @Oskar: Whats the rumors about rust into the kernel?)
 What is this? (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> @Oov ask in #kubuntu-devel)
