[00:13] <hays> any recommendations on a good modern livecd that can be used as a rescue and have a nice set of tools
[00:15] <hays> could the kubuntu install iso be used this way?
[00:24] <oerheks> if you know your tools, you can use anything
[00:25] <hays> well it just needs an option to give me a shell and a mouted ro filesystem with the tools
[00:26] <mmikowski> kubuntu iso is very good as a recovery medium. Lots of options, including safe graphics (highly recommended) make it a good choice IMO.
[00:27] <mmikowski> The RAM disk also allows you to easily quickly install extra tools if needed. Plus encryptfs is installed by default.  So, yeah, there are more swiss-army-knife solutions out there, but if you're using Kubuntu, it's probably all you'll need for an occassional recovery @hays
[00:28] <hays> i find myself needing/wanting it a lot.. mostly because i want to dork around with things
[00:29] <hays> and then when i break it, to fix it haha
[00:29] <mmikowski> Well, at Kfocus we use it all the time for recovery medium.
[00:29] <hays> cool ill try it out
[00:30] <mmikowski> We haven't found the benefit of a different image provides any benefit that isn't outweighed by the familiarity of the stock ISO. @hays check this out: https://kfocus.org/wf/recovery.html
[00:31] <mmikowski> Most of those are generic and don't require a Kfocus system.
[00:33] <hays> oh cool another linux laptop integrator.
[00:34] <hays> enough of you pop up and I might make the switch
[00:34] <mmikowski> @hays we are very focused on a complete solution. We don't ship 15 hardware platforms with one of 10 distros. We ship just Kubuntu LTS and provide athoritative support for that.
[00:35] <mmikowski> And just a few select systems (laptops, desktop)
[00:40] <hays> smart
[00:46] <mmikowski> @hays Thanks. There are some that will slap one of 11 distros on a machine and their acceptance test is "will the mouse move and will it boot." We vet every desktop, kernel, and driver update.  Of course, there are others that are much better.
 Why is it stuck at 97% for last 8 minutes? : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/2f677529/file_60232.jpg
[10:57] <user|77> My wifi always disconnects after five mins I have to restart to fix it but it just happens again I don't know why but Im new to Linux and ik it's not my router because it disconnects all surrounding networks.
[11:01] <user|77> My wifi is always disconnecting after 5 mins if I restart it fixed it but it happened again after 5 minutes again.

[13:09] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:47] <user|51> Hi
[13:47] <user|51> I would like to knowif there is any commecrcial software in kubuntu ?
[13:48] <user|51> Is this distro has the same software marker nas ubuntu ?
[13:48] <user|51> is this distro has the same software market as ubuntu ?
[13:52] <user|51> ?
[13:57] <cbreak> yes
 hi
 https://termbin.com/8fux
 what is this 90%?
 is the package 90
 https://termbin.com/8fux
 what is this 90%?
 is the package 90% ready ?
[16:58] <oerheks> where do you read 90% in that termbin?
 1.10-4ubuntu4.1 500 (phased 90%)
 Here
 5th line
[17:11] <oerheks> oh, let it be. it needs some testing before release, phazed update
[17:11] <oerheks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PhasedUpdates
 Hey famWhenever I try to connect my WiFi since then it ask me to do this, and it actually accepts the previous default password and not the password I've changed the PC toWhy??? : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/50b61d7a/file_60243.jpg
[17:48] <cryptek> humm, did notice this default password oddness too but unrelated to WiFi
 Oh ok
 Just boot on my PC and it's displaying this
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/5ea2f664/file_60244.jpg
 It says booting from ubuntu failed
 Verify if it' contains a 64bit UEFI os
 Then it says press any key to continue
 After pressing a key it brought me to this (re @PJtunes: )
 What do I do pls I'm stuck
 Anyone can assist me on this?
[20:33] <valorie> @pjtunes - your screenie is too blurry to read
[20:34] <valorie> and you don't say what happened when you "press any key"
[20:34] <valorie> if this was my computer I would try to do a backup now - you may have a failing hard drive
 Let me snap it again (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> @pjtunes - your screenie is too blurry to read)
[20:36] <valorie> you may have to remove the HD/SSD and backup directly if you can't boot -- otherwise you are stuck with the commandline
 I'm using a flashdrive
[20:36] <valorie> like a thumbdrive?
 A SanDisk
[20:37] <valorie> got it
[20:37] <valorie> drives fail
[20:37] <valorie> fortunately not hard to replace
 Damn (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> drives fail)
 What do I do now
 Im new to kubuntu
[20:39] <valorie> is there some reason you are choosing to boot from an external drive?
 Didn't configure it that way it's just default after purchasing the PC
[20:41] <valorie> huh?
[20:41] <valorie> default is always to boot from a drive IN the computer
[20:42] <valorie> except "thin computers" which are just dumb terminals
 Oh!
 It's the usual way i do boot it ever since I got it and haven't encountered this problem
 This's the first time
[20:43] <valorie> well, I suggest getting a new drive - it's always good to have another to use as a backup anyway
[20:44] <valorie> but doesn't the computer have any drives IN it?
[20:45] <valorie> most desktops have bays for 2 or 3
[20:45] <valorie> even laptops now have more than one M2s or something
[20:45] <valorie> this one has 3 I think
 https://irc-attachments.kde.org/4d62ce02/file_60247.jpg
[20:45] <valorie> Sysinfo for 'valorie-Oryx-Pro': Running inside KDE Plasma 5.25.5 on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) powered by Linux 5.19.0-76051900-generic, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz at 3399-3403/3800 MHz, RAM: 19541/32054 MB, Storage: 349/1382 GB, 328 procs, 88.08h up
 This is what it contains rn (re @PJtunes: )
[20:46] <valorie> I think I'm only using 2 of the 3
 Okay (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> I think I'm only using 2 of the 3)
[20:47] <valorie> that doesn't show *drives*
 Oh mistake
 Sorry..
 It's funny how the boot problem vanished
[20:48] <valorie> I have booted from a thumbdrive
[20:48] <valorie> hmmm
 After I left the PC for a while and switched on again
[20:48] <valorie> excellent
 I'm now on the desktop
[20:48] <valorie> run a backup now!
[20:48] <valorie> on your files
 But what if it occurs again
 I already have a backup of my personal files (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> on your files)
[20:49] <valorie> can you do the IRC command /sysinfo on a new irc line
[20:49] <valorie> oh good
 Should I also make a backup on the system files?
[20:49] <valorie> !chkdsk
 Sorry
 You mean?? (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> can you do the IRC command /sysinfo on a new irc line)
[20:50] <valorie> !checkdisk
[20:50] <valorie> oh, you're in telegram, sorry
[20:50] <valorie> dunno how to do that from telegram
 But do you have an idea of what actually caused the booting problem in the first place?
 I fear it might happen again when I'm in a rush and I'll be stuck
[20:51] <valorie> I don't
[20:51] <valorie> https://www.simplified.guide/linux/disk-error-check
[20:51] <valorie> please check your disk
[20:52] <valorie> I suspect you have the beginning of a failure
[20:52] <valorie> external drives are best used as backups
 Oh oh!
[20:52] <valorie> not to run from
[20:52] <valorie> they aren't made for that
 The PC doesn't come with a HDD/SSD just a flashdrive..
[20:53] <valorie> wow
[20:54] <valorie> is there a place for one?
 Since I got a PC with kubuntu been experiencing one issue or the other
 It's annoying though!!!
 Nope (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> is there a place for one?)
[20:54] <valorie> wow
[20:54] <valorie> not sure what to say
[20:55] <valorie> have not heard of something like this
 Wow (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> have not heard of something like this)
 I hope it doesn't happen again for real
[20:56] <valorie> I suggest you buy a new drive and put what you want on it
[20:56] <valorie> then you at least have a backup
[20:57] <valorie> "hope" isn't really a plan
 Yeah will do that
[20:57] <valorie> excellent
[20:57] <valorie> best of luck
 Is there a need to also backup the system files??
 Thanks man (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> best of luck)
[20:58] <valorie> that's the best insurance
[20:58] <valorie> no, do a clean reinstall
[20:58] <valorie> on the new drive
 Oh alright
 Thanks man
[20:59] <valorie> if there is corruption that caused the error you don't want them anyway
 Yh true... (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> if there is corruption that caused the error you don't want them anyway)
 How'd you rectify yours though? (re @IrcsomeBot: <cryptek> humm, did notice this default password oddness too but unrelated to WiFi)
[21:00]  * valorie out....
[22:00] <Guest28> Can I PLZ get some help that works for REMOVING my login password without the lectures about how unsafe it is?! I'll explain my situation if
[22:00] <Guest28> I get a reply from someone actually willing to help! Bottom line: everything I have tried, including code off online forums fails because Kubuntu 203.04 DEMANDS a password I have forgotten & was stored on another laptop that's down fore repair. The short of it.
[22:15] <oerheks> one can reset the password, when the installation is not encrypted
[22:15] <oerheks> !password
[22:25] <Guest28> Been there done all that! Works till I press ENTER, then it demands my passwordf to reset my password, no way around it! I have been on EVERY SITE that has popped up in a search,, copied n pasted their cod3e even to make si8ure I was not doing things wrong: STILL THE SAME, did the boot up editing method, NADA!
[22:25] <Guest28> Root password is Default
[22:26] <oerheks> just set a password, and set autologin
[22:26] <Guest28> Some way I hve to get to the password before linux does as a reference
[22:27] <oerheks> yes
[22:27] <Guest28> used the passwd command demands my current password to change to a new one
[22:28] <oerheks> see that guide, recovery mode
[22:28] <oerheks> set new password, and autologin, done
[22:28] <Guest28> used sudo, bash, boot edited as described on Unbuntu's FAQ site
[22:28] <oerheks> min 6 characters
[22:29] <Guest28> yep was 2 to be specific
[22:29] <Guest28> 8 sorry
[22:31] <Guest28> also now being bombarded with the keyring password bs as well. Really -pissing me off big time!
[22:32] <oerheks> autologin needs to be stored somewhere,...
[22:32] <oerheks> such rude language makes me laugh, good luck
[22:34] <Guest28> dunno, but I tried checking that box to make it autologin, but I MUST give the forgotten passwrd to make it finalized!? 8 day I have been messing with this ba!
[22:35] <Guest28> sorry bout the language just disgusted & ta be honest, it couldfa been a H of a lot worse if a mic was present!? lmaooo
