[01:01] aiden: For what OS? [01:01] Are you trying to run a Kubuntu or other VM on Windows? If so, Virtualbox is probably your best bet sadly. If you're on Linux, try out GNOME Boxes. [01:01] arraybolt3, im on kubuntu [01:02] Yeah, the Boxes should work. (GNOME Boxes will work on Kubuntu.) [01:02] *then [01:02] its just that peacock sadly doesnt support linux! [01:02] You might also try out virt-manager if you're looking for something more powerful. [01:02] which is more lighter? [01:03] i have an intel i7 processor with 21.2gb [01:03] ram [01:03] Both use QEMU+KVM+libvirt in the background, so they should be equal in "weight". Boxes is easier and looks nicer IMO, virt-manager has a lot more features. [01:03] ! [01:03] With the power of your system, you probably don't need to be too worried about lightweightness anyway though :) [01:04] arraybolt3, hey you know more than i do about these things! [01:04] :) [01:04] :P Studied a lot trying to figure out how to do stuff. [01:05] (My setup is a bit of a mess - I use Boxes and virt-manager both, sometimes in tandem since virt-manager can modify Boxes VMs. And I also have to pull VirtualBox out every so often, though it's my least favorite VM software.) [01:06] arraybolt3, did you try toinstall windows 11 on virtualbox! [01:06] Not yet, never used Win11. [01:06] it was a nightmare for me! [01:06] If you're trying to install Windows 11, use virt-manager. GNOME Boxes probably won't have the needed features. [01:06] i didnt have sound of my music players [01:07] i had to use alsa [01:07] (Unless you intend to use the well-known registry hacks to get by without a TPM.) [01:07] aiden: ! Yikes. [01:07] arraybolt3, sorry forgetting off topic [01:07] this is a support channel! [01:07] i am so sorry! [01:08] (If you're OK with using the registry hacks to get Win11 installed, you can install Win11 in GNOME Boxes most likely. But virt-manager has all the features to do so without having to hack anything.) [01:08] aiden: Heh, no problem. There's no one else talking atm. [01:08] *at the moment [01:08] arraybolt3, so this is yout fortress! [01:09] you hide in the shadows like satan perhaps? [01:09] No. [01:09] I just like doing tech support stuff. [01:09] (I'm not an op, I've just been around for a while.) [01:09] what is your businuss! [01:10] I help contribute to Ubuntu and its flavors including Kubuntu. [01:10] do you program? [01:10] aiden: Please calm down. [01:10] ernstp, sorry [01:11] That may have been a bit *too* off-topic. :) [01:11] Eickmeyer, sorry [01:11] wrong user select! [01:12] Anyway, try Boxes first if you want something easy, virt-manager if you need something powerful. Those are the ones I usually use. [01:12] arraybolt3, we cant talk anymore about that offtopic! [01:13] Yes. And at this point talking more about it is going further off-topic. I should have specified, we try to not go too far off-topic in any of the support rooms. Anyway, back on track. [06:03] I wanted to say thank to everyone working on KDE or Kubuntu. Just switched from Gnome/Ubuntu and found that KDE Plasma actually allows me to configure things to work nice, whereas Gnome is opinionated which would be ok if it wasn't so wrong. [06:06] Two of my favourite Plasma/KWin feaures are being able to put applications menus in the titlebar as a button, and being able to have titlebars go behind the 20pix panel at the top. This combination results in a similar efficiency of screen area use as Unity. Yay! At last. [06:07] s/20pix/28pixel/ [06:13] Nice, glad you're liking it! Also, you and I share a similiar opinion on GNOME :P [06:14] It's not bad, but I like KDE way more. [06:14] The Ubiquity installer is a pig though. I gave up trying to get it to install reasonably, and ended up just ripping the filesystem it dropped out of a VM and then writing my own scripts to install that filesystem into LVM on luks the way I like. Painful. [06:14] It has its uses, but definitely if manual partitioning *and* encryption are involved, that's not its strong point in my experience. [06:15] NO, I'd say it was downright buggy, and definitely too inflexible. [06:15] Depends on how you use it. I can get through many different install types with it without problems. [06:16] But last time I tried to set up encryption with manual partitioning... yeah I ended up giving up. [06:16] Anyway, super happy with Plasma tweaked to look like Unity. Actually I think it's better than Unity for my purposes, but perhaps not so friendly for the family members I support. [06:17] Because it's still not quite Unity, or because it's too far from what they're used to? [06:17] Because if your family wants Unity in particular back, Unity is still maintained and Ubuntu Unity is an official flavor that ships it. [06:19] Mainly because I currently have only a thin panel at the top, letting titlebars of windows underneath. This unfortunately loses access to window controls unless you know the keyboard shortcuts. I can do that to my family. ;-) [06:20] oh lol, if this is a shared system, then there I cannot help you. [06:20] The official Unity flavour is poo, sadly. Maintained by too few people to keep it working consistently and smoothly. Basically it has much of the downsides of Gnome (with fat buttons in titlebars that won't merge into the top bar) and yet none of the good points that recent Gnome has. [06:21] I used it for about a month and really liked it during that time. Ended up coming back here though. [06:21] I saw something in the Add Widgets sidebar that mad eme curious [06:23] It sounded (but probably wasn't) a widget to put the window controls of the current window in the panel. If that was what I thought, then I could perhaps reproduce the Unity experience even more closely, and family wouldn't have to rememeber the keyboard shortcuts for toggling or closing the window. [06:26] lol, I just tried to do something like that and... uh... now I need to fix my desktop :P [06:26] By the way, the Discover app keeps showing me a "UEFI dbx" update, but every time I say "go ahead make my day", it come back with a small error box saying "The input is not of cabinet format" and the package remains not updated. Any idea what that's about? [06:27] Not sure. I think the UEFI dbx update is something that fwupd would manage? I'm guessing that's what Discover is trying to use and something's going wrong with it. [06:27] Sounds right, but I have no idea what to do about it. [06:28] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1453959/getting-the-input-is-not-of-cabinet-format-on-discover [06:29] I'll check that out, but first I must config the new browser for sanity. [06:29] It would be wise to have your system connected to power before applying any firmware updates or firmware-related updates, since firmware is not known for having mercy if you interrupt an update of it. [06:30] Ha! You think I know what it means to be able to unplug the power? Battery so degraded by now that I can barely make it from one side of the room to another to replug it in. [06:30] Heh, been there, done that, hated it. In that instance be really careful to not trip on the cord :P [06:30] :-) [06:31] Thanks for your help. I'd better focus on the browser config now. [06:31] Nice. Good luck! [06:31] :) [06:34] Oh, one last question. What is a good solution for simple calendar with audible popup reminders? The calendar on the clock widget doesn't seem to let you click on a date to set a reminder. [06:37] I have no clue :P [06:37] Only calendar app I know of is Thunderbird, and that is the opposite of simple. I'm not even sure how to use it yet. [06:37] (The calendar feature, that is.) [06:38] arraybolt3: Imagine me stopping at this very moment ;) [06:38] So got an article on that. [06:38] Nice! [06:38] https://kfocus.org/wf/email#bkm_add_google_calendars [06:40] btw, currently wrestling with ubiquity jt, and I completely agree. [06:40] Will look into that in the future should I start using Google Calendar. Thanks! [06:40] I don't use it. Web is just find for me. [06:40] But thunderbird is great for sorting and cleaning up email. [06:40] Nooooo not Google. I want to own my data, not be a slave to somee BigTech oligarchy. [06:41] jt: None of us do. [06:41] But there's a lot that don't have any choice. [06:41] Yeah, I've always been the stubborn one that other people roll their eyes about. [06:42] IT would be nice if there was just some "click a day, click a time, write a reminder" app out there. Thunderbird (and I think Outlook too?) are just so complex. [06:43] Maybe I should write one :P [06:43] Calendy is out there, and getting lots of traction. [06:43] Interestingly, it is almost exactly like the demo app I proposed to use for my JS Web-app book, [06:44] We ended up doing a chat client instead though. [06:44] What about nextcloud? They have calendars IIRC. lemme see ... [06:44] I cannot understand why the clock applet calendar desn't already do this. Surely *every* new user says "Oh good a calendar, how do I enter an entry in it?" [06:45] https://kfocus.org/wf/nextcloud.html [06:46] jt: I think thr problem is what the backend is. There are so many. [06:47] Really? Are you being sarcastic? [06:47] no. Sure the package is mostly standardized, but in reality, you've got to work through lots of different vendors. [06:48] I used to run my own mail server, for like 15 years. Not any more. [06:48] It's still all standard, but the big boys shut me down with their "anti-spam" controls. [06:48] Which was a very convenient way to lock in their hierarchy. [06:49] *oligarchy. [06:49] I expect this is the same with calendaring these days. [06:49] If the clock applet would just provide a hook, a config option to run a command when a date is clicked on, I could probably just write my own script using zenity to add a reminder, and add it to cron or something. [06:50] In fact, the calendar messages are usually delivered via email, so you are kinda back where we started. [06:50] Well on your own desktop, sure. [06:50] I was thinking of hooking up to other calendars, as you can see above. [06:51] I see no reason to be compatible with the big platforms. I just want a local app that won't let me forget to send a birthday card, or similar. [06:51] jt, you are hard :) [06:51] :) [06:51] Hard as in awkward, or hardcore as in badass? [06:51] yeah, that's easy, and fun. [06:51] Like full metal jacket, "born-again hard." [06:52] It's a compliment! [06:52] Ah. [06:52] Like principled, tough. [06:53] kk, I gotta go try to patch ubiquity and about 30 other things. [06:53] These days the young ones look first for a web app, before looking for a local app to do that same thing. Boggles my mind. I wouldn't put my stuff on someone else's computer if they paid me. [06:53] I don't know if you saw it, but there is a nasty bug that still isn't fixed. [06:53] I think there are many. [06:53] Which one? [06:54] jt: most kids can't code their way out of a paper bag. [06:54] True [06:54] I have tried to teach kids what an file system is. Foreign concept. [06:55] Hehe [06:55] Like, wtf do we have friggn air-drop? [06:55] Thanks tc. [06:55] because apparently a nested hierarchy is "hard". [06:55] so here's the bug ... [06:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1990196 [06:56] -ubottu:#kubuntu- Launchpad bug 1990196 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Lunar) "oem-config-kde crashes when buttons clicked" [High, In Progress] [06:56] This is a double bonus: First, the slide show got removed that used to keep people engaged. [06:57] Then the and buttons are 100% reliable crash-bombs. [06:58] So if it take more than 10s, even with the installer details flashing at the bottom, people click one and boom, entire install is pretty much guaranteed broken. [06:58] Yeah, I've hit that one a few times already. I just decided to let it to the simplest possible install in a VM, then take the filesystem it makes and do what I want with it. [06:59] Yeah, but grandma isn't going to do that. [07:00] Seems to me that Ubiquity has become over complex internally, but not flexible enough on the front end. [07:00] In any event, we'll see. I gotta run, it's midnight here. [07:00] Goodnight. [07:00] Nice to meet you jt. Hope to see you again soon. [07:00] Sure. [09:06] test [12:33] Hi all. I cannot edit my default applications in Firefox on Kubuntu, and from the terminal I get errors such as: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/a41b64bc/ [13:02] Hi all [14:26] EFM0 [14:27] EFMO [14:27] Hi [14:33] I just upgraded to new version of Ubuntu.
