[00:33] <zigaziga> hi
[00:42] <JustDoom> Hey, Does anyone know if its possible to set the Application Launcher icon to a gif instead of just a still image?
[04:06] <Jim`> Should Kubuntu run OK on 950SC and FX-8370 ?
[04:06] <Jim`> Or should I be looking at LXDE, XFCE ?
[04:45] <valorie> Jim`: why not try it out on a thumb drive?
[04:46] <valorie> it runs great on my many-years-old dell travel laptop
[04:46] <valorie> then if you like how it runs in a live session, install
[04:48] <Jim`> valorie: good idea
[04:48] <Jim`> aint like I got nothing to lose before OCt 2025
[04:48] <Jim`> but a little time
[10:14] <engr-ghazi> hi
[13:07] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:25] <Jim`> What do people use for scanner software usually?
[14:17] <Your_Dog> Jim: I use skanlite but these days I barely scan anything and just either do phone + OCR if its needed to be digitized
[14:18] <fanny123> hi, my kubuntu 22.04LTS stopped working i believe dns or smthing similar. i saw a bind9 update, could it be the cause?
[14:19] <fanny123> 1:9.18.18-0ubuntu0.22.04.2   i have this version. what do you recommend install previous version? is it something known? i've lost internet a few days ago
[14:19] <Your_Dog> what you mean by stopped working, it doesnt proceed to desktop?
[14:20] <fanny123> im not expert but ping didnt resolve names. i added a resolv.conf manually and still i dont have internet, while i know that that same connection works in other computer and phone
[14:21] <fanny123> i saw on the history log that bind9 was updated, thats why i tought could be the issue
[14:22] <fanny123> i dont know if i replied corerctly, dont understand accurately doesnt proceed to desktop. Obviously web browsing,discovery etc doesnt work. Your_Dog
[14:27] <Your_Dog> ugh he left
[14:27] <Your_Dog> oh well 🤷🏻
[14:29] <fanny123> i've lost connection didnt see if there were replies after h:22
[14:30] <fanny123> could i try to remove bind9 and install previous package? or it need dependencies?how do i proceed?
[14:32] <Your_Dog> ah you're back
[17:49] <sayem> Hi, how much time does it usually take to get distribution upgrade releases. I'm using kubuntu 22.04 lts and waiting to upgrade to 24.04 lts.
[17:51] <bprompt> sayem: what do you mean by how long?   how often do an LTS happen?
[17:54] <sayem> I mean, after a LTS release. Probably we can't just upgrade to one lts release to the new one immediately. I might be wrong though.
[17:57] <sayem> there might be some time taken to prepare the upgrade path. I've run `sudo do-release-upgrade` and result is ```
[17:57] <sayem> There is no development version of an LTS available.
[17:57] <sayem> To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
[17:57] <sayem> set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.
[18:02] <bprompt> hmm
[18:03] <bprompt> sayem: tried -> sudo apt dist-upgrade <- yet?
[18:09] <sternis> When downloading the ISO Torrent of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS from the kubuntu.org website Firefox gives me the error "File Not Downloaded: Potential Security Risk". Any thoughts on this?
[18:10] <tomreyn> sternis: what's the exact url?
[18:10] <tomreyn> are you using addons in friefox? (you can get a list of firefox addons and non-default preferences at this url: about:support )
[18:11] <tomreyn> sayem: upgrades from lts releases to lts releases are never available before the target release hits .1, usually a little later.
[18:11] <tomreyn> i.e. 24.04.1
[18:11] <sternis> tomreyn: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/noble/release/kubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[18:11] <bprompt> hmmm it could be because is a "torrent", some ISPs make it an issue on torrents ports access
[18:12] <bprompt> wrongly, but they do
[18:12] <sternis> But the Ubuntu 24.04 torrents gave me no error
[18:13] <bprompt> sternis: yeah, I'd say nevermind it, is just a false-positive
[18:13] <bprompt> sternis: and I'd think is just because is a torrent download, as opposed to an http or https or ftp
[18:13] <sternis> tomreyn: just using uBlock addon
[18:13] <tomreyn> sternis: try adding an S to http
[18:14] <tomreyn> does this overcome the message?
[18:14] <tomreyn> i.e. https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/noble/release/kubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[18:15] <sternis> tomreyn: works ok on https
[18:15] <sternis> Link on Kubuntu page points to http
[18:15] <sternis> https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/
[18:15] <tomreyn> This discusses the background of this Firefox core 'feature' and how you can change it: https://www.askvg.com/fix-file-not-downloaded-potential-security-risk-error-message-in-firefox/
[18:16] <sternis> Only the Kubuntu 24.04 link points to HTTP, the other ones 22.04.4 and 23.10 uses HTTPS
[18:19] <tomreyn> thanks for pointing this out, i'll pass it on to the -devel channel
[18:20] <sayem> bprompt: yeah tried. there's no upgrade.
[18:22] <guruprasad> sayem, not sure if it is the same in case of Kubuntu, but for Ubuntu, the upgrade from the previous release is enabled when the .1 release of the new LTS is out.
[18:22] <sayem> tomreyn: thanks for making it clear. understand now how it works.
[18:23] <guruprasad> Since Kubuntu shares the same base as Ubuntu, I wouldn't be surprised if the same applied to it as well.
[18:23] <guruprasad> Ubuntu 24.04.1 is not due to be out for some time.
[18:23] <bprompt> hmmm
[18:24] <bprompt> sayem: well, on that note, I'd like to say, I'm getting 24.04 till July, not now, seems the .1 version is more stable
[18:26] <bprompt> or august
[18:29] <sayem> bprompt: Thanks. I can wait, LTS user after all. Although I'm usually excited for the new LTS releases.
[18:31] <tomreyn> yes, the same applies to all flavours
[18:32] <bprompt> sayem: mind you that for Kubuntu LTS means 3 years, not 5
[20:49] <xrandr> Hi there. I am trying to figure out why zoom backgrounds (and background blurring) won't work on my desktop, but will work on my laptop. I know it's different hardware (thanks to bprompt reminding me of that in a different channel), but it just boggles my mind as to why it will not work. Dunno what I am missing. Even bought a webcam that advertised to be fully zoom compatible
[20:49] <xrandr> Using the Zoom Workplace deb that comes from the zoom website
[20:52] <xrandr> any suggestions or any more info I can provide, except both are using Kubuntu 22.04?
[20:58] <oerheks> different GPU/gpu memory?
[20:58] <oerheks> why background and blurring on a zoom or vnc, it makes it more difficult
[21:00] <xrandr> Because I work from my bedroom, and don't need clients to see my bed, etc.
[21:04] <oerheks> they don' t give exact video req https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060007
[21:04] <oerheks> but sure there is a difference between buildin intel or amd/nvidia gpu
[21:16] <xrandr> the desktop has an nVidia GeForce 770 GTX card
[21:24] <xrandr> seems to be a processor issue
[21:24] <xrandr> says i5-6000 or higher, and my desktop has an i5-4690 chip
[21:25] <xrandr> Hmm. Not looking to upgrade my desktop at this time (if i did, I would just get a whole new system)
