IrcsomeBot<Predeterminado> Hello, good afternoon Kubuntu staff, how's it going? I've been a Kubuntu user for two days now, my first time with this distribution, I've been using LMDE 5 on another computer and I switched to Kubuntu because of driver problems.00:02
IrcsomeBot<Predeterminado> Lately I get some updates that after being installed still appear in loop, does it happen to anyone else, should I be worried?00:02
IrcsomeBot<Predeterminado> Regards.00:02
IrcsomeBot<Predeterminado> I can't send screenshots until tomorrow00:03

IrcsomeBot<Ginomfs> I cannot access my vault anymore after my kubuntu 22.04 froze and had to do a hard reboot. Any way to access my vault again, correct password does not work. Only the last file i had open is available but not in the vault.  Also tried TImeshift to a few days ago but still not luck.  The error is...Failed to open: The mount point directory is not empty, refusing to open vault. and...Failed to open: Unable to perform the operation (error code 1212:34

Guest72which is good kubuntu or kde neon?12:45
IrcsomeBot<lord chencho> Why I get "ethernet connection is limited"? but I can navigate whitout problems13:08
BluesKajHi all13:08
IrcsomeBot<lord chencho> Differences are meaningless but you don't need to restart the computer in every update on kubuntu (re @IrcsomeBot: <Guest72> which is good kubuntu or kde neon?)13:09
IrcsomeBot<Omar> + how can i burn a bootable  iso to a partition14:52
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng (re @Omar: + how can i burn a bootable  iso to a partition)15:19
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> dd and mark it as bootable ? not sure, I always write it to the whole device, not a partition15:20
alkisg1Omar, you can't, boot loaders are installed to disks, not to partitions (long story made short)15:39
alkisg1If you have grub in your disk, then you can tell your existing grub to load anything from anywhere, but it's your existing grub that will load first15:39
alkisg1UEFI/BIOS can't boot partitions, it can only boot disks15:39
user|69i instald kubuntu 1504 on a dell comp. the wifi do not work15:51
IrcsomeBot<Omar> My device is 64 gigs so it is a waste of space (re @ykruH: dd and mark it as bootable ? not sure, I always write it to the whole device, not a partition)15:51
user|69just on a partition15:52
IrcsomeBot<Omar> No way around it? (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Omar, you can't, boot loaders are installed to disks, not to partitions (long story made short))15:53
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Ahaa (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> UEFI/BIOS can't boot partitions, it can only boot disks)15:53
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Ok ok15:53
user|69how can i find what device is in my comp for wifi15:53
alkisg1Omar, there are many ways to boot from partitions, but no ways to make UEFI/BIOS boot a partition15:53
alkisg1user|69, try this: lsusb | nc termbin.com 999915:54
alkisg1Tell us the URL it shows15:54
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Ok thank you (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Omar, there are many ways to boot from partitions, but no ways to make UEFI/BIOS boot a partition)15:54
alkisg1user|69, kubuntu 15.04 is 7 years old, are you sure you don't mean 22.04?15:55
user|69no my comp is a 32 bit15:56
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Ok so what is the pest filesystem for a USB flash?15:56
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> Do you want to write a linux ISO to it ?15:56
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> then simply dd the iso file to the entire device15:57
alkisg1Omar, one way is to dd the iso. That is probably the most compatible way, but you won't be able to write anything else in that stick.15:58
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Yeah (re @ykruH: Do you want to write a linux ISO to it ?)15:58
alkisg1Other ways are to use special programs like ventoy, which support putting multiple isos to the same stick, AND your documents15:58
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Can i install linux on a new laptop with this? (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Omar, one way is to dd the iso. That is probably the most compatible way, but you won't be able to write anything else in that stick.)15:58
alkisg1Yes, you can15:59
IrcsomeBot<Omar> That is all i want (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Yes, you can)15:59
alkisg1👍️15:59
IrcsomeBot<Omar> So haw to do this dd thing15:59
alkisg1Insert your stick and type: sudo lsblk --fs | nc termbin.com 999915:59
alkisg1So that we tell you how to umount it and which device to use16:00
IrcsomeBot<Omar> https://termbin.com/tznm16:02
alkisg1OK so your stick is sdb, and is not mounted16:03
alkisg1(make sure that's not a second internal disk!)16:03
alkisg1So the command would be: sudo dd if=/path/to/disk.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress16:03
IrcsomeBot<Omar> it is working16:08
alkisg1When it finishes, to unplug it, run: sync; udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb16:08
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Error looking up object for device /dev/sdb16:13
IrcsomeBot<Omar> this is the output16:14
alkisg1Output of what, the udisksctl command or the dd command?16:15
IrcsomeBot<Omar> udisksctl16:15
IrcsomeBot<Omar> this is for the dd https://termbin.com/rq3z (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Output of what, the udisksctl command or the dd command?)16:17
IrcsomeBot<Ginomfs> bash: /home/the-divine/.config/plasmavaultrc: Permission denied (re @IrcsomeBot: <genii> What directory does ~/.config/plasmavaultrc say is the mountpoint? ... check to see if something is in there and if so then move it somewhere else...)16:17
alkisg1Omar, pastebin the output of: (sudo lsblk --fs; sudo dmesg | tail; sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb) 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 999916:19
IrcsomeBot<Omar> should i first plug it or unplug it  ?16:20
alkisg1If it's unplugged, there's no point to unmounted it with udisksctl anymore :)16:21
IrcsomeBot<Omar> https://termbin.com/wndq16:22
alkisg1Omar, looks good, try to boot with it16:46
IrcsomeBot<GrayWeek> Hi all, Is kubuntu officially supported by canonical lik Ubuntu?17:01
alkisg1Ubuntu isn't officially supported by Canonical. Only the "main" component is17:02
alkisg1It's the same for Kubuntu, only the "main" component is; which leaves out the whole desktop environment, but it includes the kernel, firefox etc etc17:02
alkisg1(a default ubuntu installation only has software from main though; but real installations rarely do)17:03
alkisg1So most of the other programs are in "universe" and are supported by the community17:05
IrcsomeBot<Omar> My laptop battery has died i will come again in other day (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Omar, looks good, try to boot with it)17:09
IrcsomeBot<Omar> But i think it toke the hole flash not just the 4 gigs partition17:10
alkisg1Omar, yes, dd'ing to a disk erases the whole disk17:10
alkisg1Ah so you didn't want to "make a partition bootable", you wanted to "avoid deleting one partition"17:11
alkisg1I didn't understand that, not sure if anyone else understood it....17:11
IrcsomeBot<Omar> I think i missexplained what i wanted (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Omar, yes, dd'ing to a disk erases the whole disk)17:12
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Im sorry i didn't explain well (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> I didn't understand that, not sure if anyone else understood it....)17:12
IrcsomeBot<Omar> I wanted to make a bootable partition17:13
alkisg1No, you wanted to put the disk in the usb disk without deleting one of its partitions17:14
alkisg1It's a completely different thing17:14
alkisg1*iso disk in the usb stick17:14
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Is it possible?17:15
alkisg1It's already deleted now17:16
IrcsomeBot<Omar> I know17:16
IrcsomeBot<Omar> I will format it and make a partition again i need the space17:17
alkisg1As I said, you can use ventoy or similar software to create a stick with one or more partitions, with bootable .iso files, and with free space17:17
alkisg1Go to https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html and have a read17:18
IrcsomeBot<nomislou> Hi, unfortunately I don't know English well and generally use a translator. But okay. The system began to take a lot of RAM. Literally 2/3 GB17:21
IrcsomeBot<nomislou> What should I do?17:21
IrcsomeBot<Omar> Ok thank you very much (re @IrcsomeBot: <alkisg1> Go to https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html and have a read)17:24
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> I have an audio problem with Plasma, I am using the Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output and it works for some time until it reverts to Analog Stereo Duplex for no apparent reason, I think it is related to the the autodetect feature on this soundcard.  Anyone knows a solution ?18:15
mmikowskiSchmo> I ran Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and W10. I also tested Xubuntu and even Manjaro.  I was able to move with track pad and arrow keys after boot from W10, but not the others. < Sounds like  kernel issue here then, since XFCE and SDDM also failed to work (apparently). You can run your hardware through linux-hardware.org and see what they say. Best of luck to you,.23:19
