[04:48] <Roey> hi
[04:48] <Roey> why am I getting this error and how do I fix it (when I try to apt-get dist-upgrade): Extracting templates from packages: 100%
[04:48] <Roey> Preconfiguring packages ...

[08:17] <Smurphy> Hmmm. So plasma is not in backports yet.
[08:18] <valorie> still in testing, Smurphy
[08:18] <Smurphy> heh ... http://sourcedigit.com/21009-install-kde-plasma-5-8-on-ubuntu-16-04-and-linux-mint/
[08:18] <valorie> look at news on kubuntu.org
[08:18] <Smurphy> :}
[08:19] <valorie> exactly
[08:19] <valorie> working well for me in ZZ
[08:19] <valorie> issues in 16.04 however
[08:19] <valorie> for me
[08:20] <Smurphy> What issues in 16.04 ?
[08:23] <Smurphy> Got quite some issues - akonadi_davgroupware_resource Segmentation faults as soon as I fine-tune/configure the Mail-System.
[08:23] <Smurphy> pops-up all 5 seconds.
[08:24] <Smurphy> and I have no clue what it is. plasma 5.6.5
[08:42] <valorie> sorry, not ignoring you -- my problems came from the KCI/unstable ppa, and the testing ppa didn't cure the problem
[08:42] <valorie> so I can't blame that
[08:47] <Smurphy> :}
[08:48] <Smurphy> no worries. this is IRC. Usually a channel where people also have other things to do while checking the channel from time to time.

[09:35] <SlaterSon> hi
[09:35] <SlaterSon> is anyone there >.<
[09:41] <lordievader> SlaterSon: See /names ;)
[09:46] <SlaterSon> lordievader okay i see now (: they could be bots you know
[09:47] <lordievader> Bots are not really allowed by Freenode, there are a couple of exceptions though.
[09:47] <lordievader> Or by the Ubuntu moderators, not sure.
[09:47] <lordievader> Not here anyways.
[09:49] <SlaterSon> how about 'drone'

[10:26] <yossarianuk> hi - running Kubuntu 16.10, which has virt-manager version -> 1:1.3.2-3ubuntu3
[10:27] <yossarianuk> I am unable to escape full screen in any vm
[10:27] <yossarianuk> if I point the mouse to the top of the screen (after crtl+alt) I do not see a menu,
[10:27] <yossarianuk> the only way I can get out of full screen is to go to a tty and kill the pid
[10:27] <yossarianuk> or enable 'hot corners' in kde and push against the top right to see all windows so I can choose another app, however virt-manger vm is still in full screen
[10:28] <yossarianuk> and I normally disable hot corners as they mess up steam games..
[10:42] <Smurphy> have you tried the left-Ctrl key? That's what I use on Virtualbox.
[10:51] <yossarianuk> Smurphy: I can use alt+actl to release mouse in windowed mode, however full screen I used to press ctrl+alt then push to the top of the window
[10:51] <yossarianuk> (in older version of kubuntu)
[10:52] <Smurphy> Not here.
[10:54] <lordievader> Wasn't it ctrl+alt+enter, or alt+F11 or something?
[10:57] <yossarianuk> lordievader: neither of those options work...
[10:57] <yossarianuk> if I use the hot corners, then click on a different window I can use the KDE taskbar to right click on vm window and unselect full screen..
[10:58] <yossarianuk> however that's not how it shouild work...
[10:58] <Smurphy> I never do fullscreen ... hence :}
[10:58] <lordievader> I rarely use the virt-viewer too.

[13:08] <lordievader> "linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic set to manually installed." not really what you want. I don't see any errors?
[13:10] <Roey> where can i look for errors?
[13:11] <Roey> oh
[13:11] <Roey> I'm sorry
[13:11] <Roey> here is the error (had posted the wrong thing):
[13:13] <Roey> lordievader: http://pastebin.com/hd5Pe3Bv
[13:16] <yossarianuk> Roey: is your boot partition full ?
[13:16] <Roey> oh. Checking..
[13:16] <Roey> no not at all.
[13:16] <Roey> yossarianuk: 30GB left on / which contains /boot.
[13:17] <lordievader> Roey: What happens when you manually install that package?
[13:17] <yossarianuk> ok - just thought i'd check the obvious..
[13:17] <lordievader> 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/<something>'
[13:18] <Roey> lordievader: http://pastebin.com/vs1J6T4K
[13:18] <Roey> oh
[13:18] <Roey> I just did apt-get install --reinstall
[13:20] <Roey> http://pastebin.com/LxfrhzDs
[13:20] <Roey> lordievader: ^
[13:21] <lordievader> Hmm, I'd remove the package and redownload it.
[13:44] <jrmckenzie1965> I need help installing Kubuntu 14.04 on a HP Pavilion HP-17-g121wm Laptop. I can't get passed the start installation screen.
[13:44] <jrmckenzie1965> Is this doable or did I waste $500?
[13:47] <jrmckenzie1965> BTW I've also tried 1604 16.10. With all 3 versions the screen beings flashing between the regular screen and black eventuall just goes totally black.
[13:48] <lordievader> Did you try the nomodeset option?
[13:49] <jrmckenzie1965> how do I get to it. There are no function keys listed at the bottom of the screen.
[13:50] <BluesKaj> jrmckenzie1965, what message do you get on the 14.04 , or is the install ubuntu option just unresponsive
[13:50] <jrmckenzie1965> it's just unresponsive.
[13:51] <BluesKaj> does the laptop still have windows on it
[13:51] <jrmckenzie1965> BTW None of the computer shops in my area know anything about Linux.
[13:51] <jrmckenzie1965> Yes it has Windows 10.
[13:54] <BluesKaj> ahh , I heard windows 10 won't allow the kubuntu installer to start , dunno if that's true, but most linux users prepartiton before trying to install
[13:55] <jrmckenzie1965> How do I partition in win 10? I can't get that far with the Kubuntu media.
[13:55] <BluesKaj> with gparted live media
[13:55] <BluesKaj> !gparted
[13:55] <ubottu> gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[13:56] <jrmckenzie1965> I'm using Win 10.
[13:56] <BluesKaj> to partition?
[13:56] <jrmckenzie1965> I can't install Kubuntu. Taht's the problem.
[13:57] <jrmckenzie1965> All I can use in Win 10 at all right now.
[13:57] <jrmckenzie1965> I cannot install Linux at all due to the screen flashing.
[13:58] <BluesKaj> jrmckenzie1965, check this out http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2015/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-alongside.html
[13:58] <jrmckenzie1965> Versaions tries so far Kubuntu 14.04, 16.04 & 16.10. No soap.
[14:06] <hateball> !nomodeset | jrmckenzie1965
[14:06] <ubottu> jrmckenzie1965: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter

[14:40] <EvilRoey> same error*
[14:40] <lordievader> Hmm, what version of Kubuntu are you running?
[14:41] <yossarianuk> Roey: I had a similar issue in an office once because the AV server used in the office was cutting off downloads of deb files over a certain size
[14:44] <yossarianuk> Roey: you could check the checksum of the downloaded deb file to see if it matches

[22:40] <schnoodles> Anyone had any trouble where they can connect to the internet but cannot resolve any ppa at all? even when its not on launchpad.
[22:41] <valorie> an example, schnoodles?
[22:42] <valorie> ppas are a feature of launchpad afaik, so "ppa not on launchpad" doesn't make a whole lot of sense
[22:42] <schnoodles> https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/915531a06d8e6a6d43b3379b56f6080c
[22:43] <schnoodles> Oh I mean even things like dl.google.com and repo.steampowered.com also do not work.
[22:49] <valorie> those might be repos, but they are not PPAs
[22:49] <valorie> looks to me like a DNS problem
[22:50] <valorie> and since the big DNS server was attacked last month, I've noticed lots of dns resolution problems that seem to come and go
[22:50] <valorie> I don't think they are software problems, but network problems
[22:50] <schnoodles> I tried the 8.8.8.8 nameservers but those still did not work.
[22:50] <valorie> right
[22:51] <valorie> I think DNS servers are being attacked, and then come back online
[22:51] <valorie> just my theory
[22:53] <schnoodles> Ahh. That is rather annoying :|
[22:53] <schnoodles> I may restart and see if that fixes it.
