 What would happen if i disable legacy option roms in my bios?
[05:53] <arraybolt3> @Omar: Depends on what option roms you have in your system and what they do.
[05:53] <arraybolt3> I don't know enough to be of much help here, but I would highly recommend **not** turning them off lest you break things.
[05:54] <arraybolt3> Generally speaking, changing BIOS options without knowing what they do is a very very bad idea.
 The secure boot was off and i could not turn it on unless i disable legacy option roms
[07:04] <arraybolt3> @Omar: Weird. Wish I could have more input, but I don't rightly know what an option rom even is so :shrug:
[07:05] <arraybolt3> I could look it up but that's something you could probably do just as easily and get a faster answer that way :P
 It's ok thank you any way (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3> @Omar: Weird. Wish I could have more input, but I don't rightly know what an option rom even is so 🤷)
 I will 😂 (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3> I could look it up but that's something you could probably do just as easily and get a faster answer that way :P)
[07:34] <alkisg> Omar, recent BIOSes support two methods for booting, UEFI and "old Legacy / CSM". If your disks AND all your live CDs/USB sticks support UEFI, then you can disable the legacy option without any downside
[07:35] <alkisg> All recent distributions and usb sticks should support UEFI, and many of them (but not all) also support secure boot
 Ok thank you so much
[10:07] <user|77> è possibile installare raid durante l'installazione?
 My system won't boot just stuck in this loop : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/59d4d902/file_63786.jpg
 I disabled the secure boot and it worked
 Any idea why?
[13:33] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:29] <mparillo> If disabling secure boot was the only change you made, that surprises me. One of the benefits of using the *buntus is easy support for secure boot.
[14:52] <user|73> what kind of paket manager does kubuntu have?
[16:02] <Burbon> sois mierda
[16:02] <Burbon> estais secas
[16:02] <Burbon> coño
[16:02] <Burbon> no jodais con burbon
[17:27] <rtg> Hi
[17:44] <mparillo> Kubuntu, like all the *buntus uses apt. There is a more complicated answer, but I doubt you need it now.
[21:52] <user|76> i can'at find usb-imagewriter in terminal, or any of the software centers... do you recommend any of them?
[22:08] <Elliria> Someone in the #ubuntu channel might know, user|76.
[22:10] <mparillo> They keep changing image writers, and I now just use dd
[22:18] <Elliria> That seems to be a popular way of doing it. Here's a post from three months ago: https://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal
[22:26] <user|76> i am coming from linux mint
[22:26] <user|76> there they had a an old program called usb-imagewriter and usb-image formatter
[22:26] <user|76> simple but powerful tools
[22:26] <user|76> i will try out the etcher i have tried to use that in the past and it has failed but it was on an older device
[22:27] <user|76> how do you create the etcher file to go on your taskbar ?
[22:32] <user|76> so i put it currently in my downloads section. why is it some strange file where it is not a program?
[22:32] <user|76> thus everytime i want to use etcher i have to go to the location within my file system to search for it
[22:34] <user|76> so its an executable app image to then take another image and put to a usb.
[22:34] <user|76> i thought kubuntu has a native one i am guessing not really
[22:42] <Elliria> I don't see either of those in the repositories.
[22:43] <Elliria> Right-click on the desktop or in a directory in Dolphin, choose "Create New", and I think it's "Link to Application" that you'd want. It might be the file one.
[22:43] <Elliria> That creates a shortcut and you drag it onto the bar.
[22:44] <Elliria> I don't see etcher in the repositories, either.
[22:45] <Elliria> Ah, you mean you downloaded a program and unzipped it somewhere on your computer?
[22:49] <user|76> yea its just a strange type of file so in order for me to use i have to save to a folder on my file system. then i have to go to the file each time and then select execute
[22:52] <Elliria> You can create a shortcut the way I described above and then drag that onto the taskbar.
[22:54] <Elliria> Or right-click the K menu and choose "Edit Applications..." and then pick a category and right-click it and choose "New Item>..." and add the path to it there.
[22:56] <user|76> when i downloaded etcher it came into that format i think
[22:57] <Elliria> I don't know. I don't do that. If something isn't in the repositories, I don't use it. But I've created scripts before and made shortcuts to them with that method above.
[22:58] <user|76> yes i was able to drag it  into the task bar its a very small icon for some reason compared to the rest. however the file is also on my desktop thus i can't get rid of that now otherwise the link will be destroyed i tried that already should i use it from another folder i think that would work
[22:58] <user|76> https://launchpad.net/usb-imagewriter
[22:58] <user|76> here is the website i was looking to grab the original usb-image writer program but when i downloaded it is in a tar format
[22:58] <user|76> so when i tried to extract more files show up
[22:59] <Elliria> Is it in Jammy?
[22:59] <user|76> when i try to see anything that says install theres one file when i try to open or extract that it goes to the portal and asks me what i want to open with and its blank
[23:00] <Elliria> What kind of file is it?
[23:01] <Elliria> That package is not available in Jammy. This is what I get when I do a dpkg -s usb-imagewriter command: dpkg-query: package 'usb-imagewriter' is not installed and no information is available
[23:05] <Elliria> I think it's outdated software. The folks in the #ubuntu channel might know of something more recent that's available in the repositories, in which case it would install itself and be available for your taskbar automatically.
[23:05] <Elliria> I've got to go eat dinner. Good luck!
[23:07] <arraybolt3> user|76: sudo apt install usb-creator-kde
[23:08] <arraybolt3> I think that's the Startup Disk Creator that Kubuntu shoul dhave.
[23:10] <user|76> ok good thing is it recognized a usb i inserted its a large screen even though your just take an image and writing to a format a usb needs
[23:14] <user|76> balena is more user friendly... i will test that out I have bad experience with that program.
[23:24] <user|76> how do you change the icons on the task bar on the right side they seemed to be fixed at a certain size for eternity
[23:32] <user|76> i was able to change the visual look of the icon took a bit of steps to do so
[23:40] <user|76> whats a good diagnostic tool to look at your system as a whole
[23:40] <user|76> temps, battery, drives etc
[23:43] <mmikowski> user|76 have you tried to change the panel size? The icons should scale with its size.
[23:45] <user|76> let me try that
[23:47] <user|76> ok are they separated ? cause the left side is still much bigger than the right side
[23:54] <mmikowski> user|76: I assume "taskbar" = "task manger". I use the icons-only task manger. This scales icons as the panel size changes, as do other widgets like the kickoff ("Start Menu") or pinned icons. What does not scale in the same way is the system tray where multiple rows or columns will appear as more space is available.
[23:54] <mmikowski> This is plasma 5.18+ IME.
[23:57] <user|76> what are the official names for the types of levels of icons?
[23:58] <user|76> meaning when you go to configure icons there are like 6 different levels
[23:58] <mmikowski> You mean sizes?
[23:58] <mmikowski> The key is to use the vector icons.
[23:59] <user|76> 1. Toolbar
[23:59] <user|76> 2. main toolbar
[23:59] <user|76> 3. small icons
[23:59] <user|76> 4. panel
[23:59] <user|76> 5. dialogue
[23:59] <mmikowski> Hmmm, is that from System Settings?
[23:59] <user|76> i have tried to change a few of these and for some reason i can't find what i want to change.On the bottom of the screen i have a bunch of icons on the left separated by space then icons on the right
[23:59] <user|76> the ones on the right are ok sized. the ones on the left are way to big
