[01:55] <Ajcozy> Hi, i have a technical question? if anyone here that's versed in 22.04, may or may not answer? its a few lines that i get when i apt upgrade or update(not all the time)
[01:58] <Ajcozy> X)
 I'm building kubuntu from Ubuntu server. What are the packages required to build kubuntu?
 kde-plasma-desktop (also installs sddm)
[02:04] <Ajcozy> this may or may not be correct, and please i advise you not to listen to me, but i went from ubuntu to kubunty through Unity... but i had little experience with linux
[02:04] <Ajcozy> kubuntu
 Wow! I miss unity. I'm used to kde neon but their last update broke my system. So I'm settling on Ubuntu server + kde desktop.
 Just don't see my WiFi icon (even getting network-manager installed).
 And want to get rid of snapd because my ssd is 500gig only.
[02:09] <Ajcozy> i have no idea tbh im like a week into linux
[02:09] <Ajcozy> i wish you good luck!
[02:09] <Ajcozy> try to keep that wi-fi on! though
[02:10] <arraybolt3[m]> @prabhushakti: kde-plasma-desktop is the wrong package. kubuntu-desktop is the one you want.
[02:10] <Ajcozy> yay!
[02:10] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: Yeah, what's your question?
[02:11] <arraybolt3[m]> (re: Hi, I have a technical question?)
[02:11] <Ajcozy> i have firmware, that i think needs update/or reinstalled : ive been doing to much sudos as a new user
[02:11] <Ajcozy> like i get 6 W: firmware prompts
[02:11] <arraybolt3[m]> Is there a particular device that's not working? Having to use sudo a whole lot is normal if you're doing system-level stuff.
[02:12] <Ajcozy> right, um im worried about my RAM and display could i elaborate(briefly)
[02:13] <Ajcozy> i have 4gb but kubuntu shows 3.3bg (maybe normal) and my native display or reccomnded isnt showing as high as it can
[02:13] <arraybolt3[m]> It's fine to elaborate, in fact, we need elaboration to know how to help fix the problem!
[02:13] <Ajcozy> i think i unistalled something i shouldnt have and.. laslty, i just reinstalled os (kubuntu 22.04 plasma)
[02:14] <Ajcozy> oh well i can try to get the 6 W failure readings i think it happens when i do apt upgrade -y
 Hmm, I'm installing kde-full. Let's hope it works. (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> @prabhushakti: kde-plasma-desktop is the wrong package. kubuntu-desktop is the one you want.)
[02:14] <Ajcozy> good luck prabhushakti!
 Thank you. (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> @prabhushakti: kde-plasma-desktop is the wrong package. kubuntu-desktop is the one you want.)
[02:15] <arraybolt3[m]> @prabhushakti: Good luck! You'll still get something Kubuntu-like, it just won't be Kubuntu.
 If that doesn't work. I'd purge and reinstall with kubuntu. I should have contacted you first. Anyway let's see what happens.
[02:16] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: OK, two things. One, don't ever do "apt upgrade -y", if it decides to uninstall something important due to a glitch (which happens sometimes!), it will indiscriminately start destroying stuff without your consent. Omitting the "-y" will avoid that.
[02:16] <Ajcozy> okay great noted
[02:16] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: (Though with "apt upgrade" I think it won't uninstall things, I might be thinking of what happens with full-upgrade, now that I think about it.)
[02:17] <Ajcozy> okay, i cant seem to force the prompts now anyways
[02:17] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: Secondly, if you're getting W: warnings from apt related to firmware, that's probably not a firmware problem, but rather a package manager problem, so if you can get those warnings and put them into a pastebin, we can try and help with that.
[02:17] <Ajcozy> maybe the updates helped when i reinstalled
[02:17] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: Heh, probably reinstalling fixed the package manager problem.
[02:17] <Ajcozy> okay thanks array good tidings
[02:18] <arraybolt3[m]> Ajcozy: As for the screen, that one might be trickier. Can you tell us what resolution it's at now, what resolution it can get to, and what kind of graphics hardware you have (Intel, NVIDIA, AMD?).
 After installing Ubuntu desktop my WiFi is on as set in netplan but network manager is unable to detect.
 nmcli device show
  is unable to get any information.

[12:29] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:47] <m_tadeu> hi...is there a way to enable auto-rotate on videos in gwenview?
[14:39] <cbreak> m_tadeu: why not use a video player, like mplayer / mpv / vlc ?
 hi, Is there a chance to use plasma 5.26 in kubuntu 22.04 ?
[15:49] <user|71> I am trying to install kubuntu 22.04.1 on a 512gb nvme sdd, the installation starts at first, then i get an input/output error
[15:50] <user|71> *ssd
[15:51] <user|71> The device with the ssd is a HP Pavillion x360 convertible 14-dh0525sa
[15:52] <user|71> _--_
[15:52] <tomreyn> did the ssd come with the computer or did you install it manually?
[15:53] <user|71> I installed it manually
[15:53] <user|71> it is fully seated into the connector
[15:54] <tomreyn> is it the only storage on the computer?
[15:54] <user|71> other than the installation usb
[15:54] <user|71> yes
[15:54] <user|71> i created install usb then i'm using the install kubuntu tool to install it on the ssd
[15:54] <tomreyn> check your bios for boot sector protection option (HP boot guard ?) and disable it
[15:55] <user|71> ok im gonna look
[15:55] <tomreyn> it's probably a good idea to also disable most of the other "smart" and "HP" "security" options
[15:55] <user|71> ok
[15:56] <tomreyn> user|71: also, if you have notpowered down it yet, and the installer is still running:
[15:56] <user|71> disable tpm?
[15:56] <tomreyn> open a terminal (konsole) window and run:  journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999
[15:57] <tomreyn> if you're online, this will post your kernel log to termbin.com, a pastebin-like site
[15:57] <tomreyn> so you could share it here
[15:57] <user|71> ok
[15:58] <tomreyn> tpm should not get in the way
[15:58] <user|71> i did close the installer, can i just start it again
[15:59] <user|71> *installer = device
[15:59] <tomreyn> what do you mean by "i closed the device"?
[15:59] <tomreyn> which device, closed how?
[15:59] <user|71> after it failed i closed the laptop
[15:59] <tomreyn> you closed the lid? did this make it power off?
[16:00] <user|71> yes
[16:00] <tomreyn> thenthe log is probably lost. ignore the part about the log for now, just inspect the bios options.
[16:00] <user|71> ok i already did the bios options thats why i turned it off
[16:01] <user|71> ok i did the bios options and it has finished booting, what next?
[16:09] <tomreyn> user|4: try installing again.
[16:09] <tomreyn> if the same problem occurs again, post a kernel log
[16:10] <user|4> ok
[16:10] <user|4> my name changed for some reason
[16:12] <user|4> The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[16:12] <user|4> [Errno 5] Input/Output error
[16:13] <tomreyn> nicknames on IRC are not persistent, unless you register them and assign a password.
[16:13] <tomreyn> !register
[16:13] <user|4> !register
[16:13] <user|4> !register
[16:14] <tomreyn> this is just a way to make ubottu, our channel bot, tell you what it did
[16:14] <user|4> it failed
[16:14] <tomreyn> you mean the bot, or your installation?
[16:15] <user|4> the installation
 open a terminal (konsole) window and run:  journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:15] <user|4> ok
[16:15] <user|4> does it need to be sudo
[16:15] <tomreyn> no
[16:16] <user|4> done
[16:16] <user|4> it gave me a link: termbin.com/ibtn
[16:16] <tomreyn> now you need to post the URL here
[16:16] <tomreyn> ok
[16:17] <user|4> i installed pop os on it and it worked
[16:18] <user|4> but kubuntu doesnt work for some reason
[16:18] <tomreyn> this looks like a broken installer media
[16:18] <user|4> oh
[16:18] <user|4> i thought it was a broken ssd
[16:18] <user|4> ok ima look for a new installer media
[16:19] <user|4> i only have 3 but 2 are broken
[16:19] <tomreyn> you have squashfs errors, those will refer to reading from the installer medium
[16:19] <user|4> ok ima dig in my junk box for some usb drives
[16:19] <user|4> brb
[16:19] <tomreyn> i would suggest using balena etcher to write the iso
[16:19] <user|4> i do
[16:19] <user|4> it worked
[16:19] <tomreyn> it automatically verifies the data written
[16:19] <tomreyn> hmm ok :-/
[16:23] <user|4> back, got a new usb drive
[16:24] <tomreyn> 🤞
[16:24] <tomreyn> btw. you should get a bios update installed on this sometime
[16:25] <user|4> how do you do that
[16:25] <user|4> on the website i found an exe
[16:25] <user|4> but im not using windows
[16:26] <user|4> Oops! Looks like the flash failed
[16:27] <user|4> must be a dead usb
[16:27] <user|4> brb gonna find ANOTHER one
[17:01] <user|91> will the amd64 version run on gen 12 intel system, I seem to have problem installing
[17:02] <arraybolt3[m]> user|91: Very recent systems might have problems working with the older kernel present in Kubuntu. If you can find a workaround to get Kubuntu installed in the first place, you may be able to install a mainline kernel thereafter and have your hardware working better.
[17:04] <user|91> I managed to get neon kde loaded so the plasma/debian doesn't seem to be a problem but that may be the case with kubuntu which I really prefer
[17:06] <arraybolt3[m]> Interesting. Were you trying to install Kubuntu 22.04?
[17:06] <arraybolt3[m]> KDE neon is still using an Ubuntu 20.04 base, so that might be part of what's happening here.
[17:07] <user|91> yes and my thoughts were to try older version, but if you think it might be the basic kernel that wouldn't work either
[17:08] <user|91> umm my mistake I thought neon was debian base....
[17:13] <tomreyn> user|91: if you still have problems with the usb installer storage, try a different usb port
[17:18] <user|91> yes I tried that one, (with usb 3.0 & 2.0) maybe the beta version might be worth a try at this point
[17:19] <user|91> thanx a ton for the time and patience......
[19:35] <nixnoobish> hello got a MimeType error msg when doing an apt upgrade ( vscode only)
[19:35] <nixnoobish> found: <https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/153259>
[19:35] -ubottu:#kubuntu- Issue 153259 in microsoft/vscode "Error in file '/usr/share/applications/org.kde.kdeconnect_open.desktop': '*/*' is an invalid MIME type ('*' is an unregistered media type)" [Closed]
[19:35] <nixnoobish> followed link inside that thread and edited the "bad" MimeType in a file deep in the bowels of the mysterious but awesome OS
[19:36] <nixnoobish> now, do I need to unroll the upgrade to vscode and reinstall it?
[19:36] <nixnoobish> if so, how?
[21:05] <user|51> I am a Noob - I don't seem to be able to install wordpress on kubuntu
[21:08] <oerheks> should be doable.. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-wordpress#1-overview
[21:08] <oerheks> oh
[22:29] <Ines|30> hi
[22:29] <Ines|30> i have some questions, i'm installing firefox
[22:29] <mmikowski> Ines|30: what question?
[22:29] <Ines|30> but i'm not sure where should i put the uncompressed folder (not the snap) which one is the best
[22:30] <Ines|30> should i put my folder in usr/bin
[22:30] <Ines|30> or should i put the folder in local share applications ?
[22:31] <mmikowski> How are you installing it? A tarball, debian, snap?
[22:31] <Ines|30> i don't want to use the snap anymore since there is no "custom" cursor inside of the snap :(
[22:31] <mmikowski> Understood.
[22:31] <Ines|30> tarball i assume
[22:31] <Ines|30> it's tar gz
[22:31] <mmikowski> That's a tarball.
[22:31] <Ines|30> i extracted it
[22:31] <Ines|30> i'm kinda new to linux, starting to feel at ease lol
[22:32] <Ines|30> but there is no readme or smth like this, you just unzip it and it's done
[22:32] <mmikowski> Where did you get the tarball? My guess is you would have to compile, and there's no guarantee that would work without some experience.
[22:32] <mmikowski> Hmm, please provide the link and I can give you more feedback.
[22:33] <Ines|30> https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/new/
[22:33] <Ines|30> i didn't compile anything, i just extracted it
[22:33] <mmikowski> understood.
[22:33] <Ines|30> and clicked on the firefox file it opened
[22:34] <Ines|30> firefox
[22:34] <Ines|30> actually my folder is in local share applications
[22:35] <mmikowski> You can keep the app in your local folder (e.g.$HOME/bin).
[22:35] <mmikowski> However, if you want to share it system-wide, then /usr/local/bin is a good choice.
[22:36] <Ines|30> okay so i might ask a dumb question but
[22:36] <Ines|30> why local/share if it's not shared
[22:36] <Ines|30> i assumed (without trying) that if i put my folder in home/local/share/applications
[22:37] <Ines|30> it would be shared with other user (but there is only me lol)
[22:37] <mmikowski> There are different levels of sharing :)
[22:37] <Ines|30> i see so everything i install with the package manager is in bin folder (atleast from my understanding
[22:38] <mmikowski> There are many parallel paths that have different levels of precidence. So $HOME/.local/share will have higher pecidence vs. /usr/local/share vs /usr/share
[22:39] <mmikowski> /usr/share => base system; /usr/local/share => non-standard changes to system shared by all users; ~/.local/share => user specific changes.
[22:39] <mmikowski> ~/.local/share > /usr/local/share > /usr/share
[22:40] <mmikowski> Yes, all is installed to /usr/bin because that is default system-wide installation. If you can, you want everything there.
[22:40] <mmikowski> Second best, if you can, is /usr/local/bin
[22:40] <mmikowski> (roughly)
[22:41] <Ines|30> sorry i'm not native english speaker by precidence you mean priority or smth like that ?
[22:41] <mmikowski> Yes. The closer you get to the user, the higher the priority.
[22:42] <Ines|30> okay it makes sense, i guess there is no need to dig much more for me at the moment
[22:42] <mmikowski> So if you have 'firefox' in your PATH, usually ~/bin/firefox > /usr/local/bin/firefox > /usr/bin/firefox
[22:42] <mmikowski> This varies depending on how your path is set up, but that is the convention.
[22:44] <mmikowski> So yeah, Firefox does not provide instructions anywhere on how to install.
[22:44] <mmikowski> At least, not that I can see.
[22:45] <Ines|30> okay okay this is great !! i have one last question
[22:45] <Ines|30> thank you for your time
[22:45] <mmikowski> So here's the fix which I just verified:
[22:45] <mmikowski> tar xvjf firefox-105.0.3.tar.bz2
[22:46] <Ines|30> how could i now create a shortcut ? i have the path but i'm not sure how to do it
[22:46] <mmikowski> sudo mv firefox /usr/local/lib/
[22:46] <mmikowski> sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin
[22:46] <mmikowski> then type firefox. It works.
[22:46] <mmikowski> And you have employed the standard convention.
[22:47] <Ines|30> ooooh you're a god tier helper
[22:47] <mmikowski> https://kfocus.org <= I run that
[22:47] <mmikowski> :)
[22:47] <Ines|30> can you tell me where you found this info so i might not have to bother
[22:47] <mmikowski> Unix books
[22:48] <mmikowski> Look at the Debian file system conventions. That's a great place to get probably all you need.
[22:48] <Ines|30> you really rock i'll add a bookmark to your site and check it !!
[22:49] <mmikowski> Where do you want the link?
[22:49] <mmikowski> lemme see; there should be a .desktop file already available
[22:50] <mmikowski> aha, there is no firefox.desktop file
[22:51] <mmikowski> So there will be no automatic link in your application menus
[22:51] <mmikowski> Ines|30: are you still there?
[22:52] <Ines|30> YES SORRY
[22:52] <mmikowski> Adding a link to desktop or the app menu is pretty easy.
[22:52] <Ines|30> yes sorry*
[22:52] <mmikowski> No worries.
[22:52] <Ines|30> why am i using firefox rn i'm asking myself lol
[22:53] <mmikowski> So are you looking for an app link?
[22:53] <mmikowski> Like in the start menu?
[22:54] <mmikowski> That's the best place to start
[22:54] <Ines|30> yes
[22:54] <Ines|30> i like when firefox is on my taskbar
[22:55] <mmikowski> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296568
[22:55] -ubottu:#kubuntu- Mozilla bug 296568 in Firefox "Firefox should have a firefox.desktop file for Linux builds" [S3, New]
[22:57] <mmikowski> So solution:
[22:58] <mmikowski> sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/applications
[22:59] <Ines|30> and it solves by itself
[22:59] <Ines|30> just by creating the directory ?
[22:59] <mmikowski> Not quite done yet...
[22:59] <Ines|30> oh yes
[23:00] <mmikowski> cd /usr/local/share/applications
[23:00] <mmikowski> sudo wget https://bug296568.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=185295 -O firefox.desktop
[23:00] <mmikowski> That is the fix. Then go into your menus, and you will see firefox under Internet > Firefox
[23:00] <Ines|30> im copy pasting everything to do it after since i'm on firefox atm
[23:00] <Ines|30> i'm afraid it cut the chat lol
[23:01] <mmikowski> Nah, you just need a terminal open to do that.
[23:01] <mmikowski> But, there is one final issue: The Firefox icon does not exist.
[23:01] <mmikowski> So while it will be in the menu, there is no icon.
[23:01] <Ines|30> even tar xvjf firefox-105.0.3.tar.bz2
[23:01] <Ines|30> ?
[23:02] <Ines|30> holy molly
[23:02] <Ines|30> this is rough to use firefox lol
[23:03] <mmikowski> summarizing ...
[23:04] <mmikowski> checking if there is a firefox icon available ...
[23:04] <mmikowski> ok, found them, I think ...
[23:05] <Ines|30> don't ask me why
[23:05] <Ines|30> but i ahve
[23:05] <Ines|30> have
[23:05] <Ines|30> the firefox icon
[23:06] <mmikowski> It's probably left over from a previous install
[23:06] <Ines|30> i remember i looked for smth
[23:06] <Ines|30> with snap
[23:06] <Ines|30> yes
[23:06] <Ines|30> i created a shortcut i was looking for a while
[23:06] <Ines|30> so the shortcut i made
[23:06] <Ines|30> is now working
[23:06] <mmikowski> Yes, I deleted the snap, and all firefox icons are now gone
[23:06] <mmikowski> Did you use the recipe I sent?
[23:07] <mmikowski> tar xvjf firefox-105.0.3.tar.bz2
[23:07] <mmikowski> sudo mv firefox /usr/local/lib/
[23:07] <mmikowski> sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin
[23:07] <mmikowski> sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/application
[23:07] <mmikowski> cd /usr/local/share/applications
[23:07] <Ines|30> i used the wget to get the .desktop file
[23:07] <Ines|30> yes
[23:07] <Ines|30> everything
[23:07] <Ines|30> until here
[23:07] <Ines|30> and it works like a charm
[23:08] <Ines|30> i now just have to delete the file i made in .local/share
[23:08] <Ines|30> but i know how to do it by my self :D
[23:08] <Ines|30> thank you a lot i finally have the beautiful cursor of kubuntu :D
[23:09] <mmikowski> Icon=/usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
[23:09] <mmikowski> <== You may need that if the icon disappears. Put that in /usr/local/share/applications/firefox.desktop
[23:09] <mmikowski> I've confirmed that works great.
[23:10] <mmikowski> So if you delete the snap, replace that line and it will be set.
[23:10] <mmikowski> Not sure why firefox doesn't package an SVG, but there you go.
[23:11] <Ines|30> okay done !!
[23:11] <Ines|30> thank you !
[23:11] <mmikowski> ok Ines|30, enjoy your evening.
[23:12] <mmikowski> best wishes
[23:13] <Ines|30> i'll check the debian file system convention as you adviced
[23:13] <Ines|30> nice evening too bye !
[23:13] <Ines|30> (y) '=D
[23:14] <mmikowski> bb!
