[01:27] <user|56297> KEKW after this week update on 19.10 black screen, so TRASH
[04:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> Hi guys!
[04:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> I have just shot myself in the foot!
[04:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> Figuratively.
[04:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> I have a Kubuntu 18.04 box. Until today 2 users: User1 and user2. User1 is admin and user2 just a normal user without admin privileges. On cold boot the box would boot into a user2 session automatically. Today I deleted user2 because I no longer needed it. Then reboot and now I get only a Plasma cursor with no desktop. I can switch to tty2 and login as user1 but I do not know where to go from here. Can anyone help me please? I want
[04:47] <IrcsomeBot> to get into a plasma session of user1.
[04:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> Thanks!

[06:02] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:02] <sreek> how upload using php code with file permissions in ubuntu
[07:32] <tangarora__> I thought they were going to fix kio in the latest kde so it would work like Gnome, Windows, Mac... so you can work with large media files on a file share without it insisting on downloading it first...
[07:45] <masonbee-M1> <Linuxophil> Can't you manually disable autologin in /etc/sddm.conf?
[07:47] <masonbee-M1> <Linuxophil> Just tried here. If I enable autologin it writes my username in sddm.conf under [autologin] so try removing that.

[09:28] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> Thanks a lot, masonbee-M1! I will try that!
[09:59] <IrcsomeBot> <Linuxophil> @tangarora: the KDE devs tried. The ball is in googles half for the time being.
[10:49] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:56] <jukebohi> Hiya BluesKaj and others
[10:57] <mind_sage> hello
[10:57] <BluesKaj> hi jukebohi, mind_sage
[10:58] <mind_sage> are you all looking forward to kubuntu 20.04?
[10:59] <BluesKaj> already there, but I'm a kubuntu tester so it comes with the territory
[10:59] <jukebohi> I'm having a Kubuntu 18.04.4 act up (doing weird shit, bugs appearing out of nowhere) and I'm trying to determine what caused this. The Kubuntu should be a clean install (unless the stick is somehow corrupts), but I worry that a possibly corrupt Windows 10 may be corrupting the Kubuntu. Does malware that will corrupt Linux from Windows when Windows is started exist?
[11:00] <BluesKaj> not really jukebohi
[11:01] <BluesKaj> perhaps more detail about your issues would help
[11:02] <jukebohi> For example one bug was that suddenly the KDE Wallet started asking a password for the default wallet, but no password was ever set.
[11:03] <BluesKaj> jukebohi, that could be a new upgraded "feature" for kwallet, especially if you haven't specified uasage or not
[11:03] <mind_sage> I know what you mean, I had many problems with kubuntu (internal mic not working, dolphin file search not working, no easy out-of-the-box multi-language support), but now I managed to solve most issues and I prefer it over windows... I just hope it doesn't break, or I might switch to vanilla ubuntu (hoping that it's better)...
[11:08] <BluesKaj> mind_sage, you'll be pleased to hear dolphin file search works well on 20.04 Focal, and most audio issues that I've seen in the past are fixed as well
[11:09] <mind_sage> I've been hoping for that!
[11:09] <mind_sage> so it's truly an everything-works kind of experience, like windows?
[11:11] <BluesKaj> dunno about windows, i haven't used it much over the yrs
[11:11] <mind_sage> I switched from windows to kubuntu two days ago
[11:12] <mind_sage> I don't miss the sluggish performance, but I do miss the ease of use, tbh
[11:14] <BluesKaj> mind_sage, one thing about Kubuntu, it doesn't insult your intelligence and peoblem solving abilities and it's much more flexible than windows can ever hope to be..
[11:16] <mind_sage> I'm all aboard the FOSS philosophy and community-based projects, but I don't hate Windows at all
[11:16] <mind_sage> the thing is, I never had problems with windows, but I decided to drop it because I prefer the ideas behind linux (and the VERY noticeable performance boost)
[11:17] <mind_sage> I'm not a technical user eiter, so I'm all for very user-friendly solutions
[11:19] <mind_sage> I do agree that it is flexible, even though it doesn't have as much software (but it can do more and perform better with what it has, though)
[11:19] <BluesKaj> mind_sage, you'll find that most linux users don't hate windows, they just prefer independence and control over their OSs
[11:19] <mind_sage> (just my noob thoughts haha)
[11:19] <mind_sage> that I can agree with, such as controlling updates, customisation, and being free to uninstall everything

[12:37] <user|81879> hi guys
[12:53] <viewer|10> hi
[12:54] <BluesKaj> hi viewer|10
[12:55] <viewer|10> how to use the cut command to display users sorted by last name?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> users, where?
[12:56] <viewer|10> 43/5000
[12:56] <viewer|10> users in the system using a terminal
[12:58] <viewer|10> I mean how to display users created in the system using the cut command and sort them by last name?
[13:13] <mind_sage> hey, does anyone know how I can reinstall the discover software centre?
[13:13] <mind_sage> it's missing for some reason
[13:16] <RikMills> sudo apt install plasma-discover
[13:16] <viewer|10> how to use the cut command to display users sorted by last name?
[13:16] <viewer|10> in terminal
[13:16] <viewer|10> ??
[13:17] <wellingtonf> oi
[13:17] <felipe> opa
[13:17] <mind_sage> it says
[13:17] <mind_sage> Package plasma-discover is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[13:17] <mind_sage> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[13:17] <mind_sage> is only available from another source
[13:17] <mind_sage> However the following packages replace it:
[13:17] <mind_sage> plasma-discover-common
[13:19] <mind_sage> sorry, the terminal info is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BNwsnFG3fV/
[13:20] <RikMills> mind_sage: plasma-discover package is available in the repos in every supported release, so I would guess your sources have got messed up
[13:20] <mind_sage> how can I repair that?

[15:02] <user|85779> Having some issues with my system locking up when compiling java, have to restart. This happens every time. kbuntu 19.10 plasma 5.18.3
[15:03] <user|85779> I watched htop and cpu/memory usage looks fine. I dont see much in journalctl
[15:04] <user|85779> seems more like plasma is slowly locking up, until eventually I can't interact with anything at all
[15:42] <professor_mad_do> hi i have one problem i keep getting this error messages https://pasteboard.co/J1ETOOH.png
[15:42] <professor_mad_do> how can i solved that
[15:42] <professor_mad_do> ??
[15:52] <BluesKaj> professor_mad_do, it asks you to reboot, so do so
[15:53] <professor_mad_do> BluesKaj: i did but keep showing up
[15:55] <professor_mad_do> BluesKaj: look the output of dmesg
[15:55] <professor_mad_do> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pycwpB22KD/
[15:59] <diogenes_> professor_mad_do, If you don't need baloo you can even disable it.
[16:12] <professor_mad_do> diogenes_: how can i disable baloo
[16:12] <professor_mad_do> ??
[16:14] <diogenes_> professor_mad_do, run: ls ~/.config/autostart | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:14] <diogenes_> share the link
[16:16] <professor_mad_do> diogenes_: there is nothing there to show
[16:17] <diogenes_> ls /etc/xdg/autostart | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:18] <oerheks> "To disable Baloo, open the System Settings application and then in the Workspace Appearance and Behavior section, select Desktop Search. This opens the Configure Desktop Search window."
[16:18] <oerheks> Uncheck the check box on this page, Enable Desktop Search, apply, done
[16:19] <professor_mad_do> diogenes_: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JssVXFt4j2/
[16:19] <oerheks> there are more services you might want to look at http://www.linux-databook.info/?page_id=3728
[16:20] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: but what is baloo and what it does to my system
[16:20] <professor_mad_do> ?
[16:20] <oerheks> oh, it is all written there, search and indexing
[16:21] <diogenes_> yes you can do what oerheks suggests also you can add Hidden=true in /etc/xdg/autostart/baloo_file.desktop
[16:21] <oerheks> if you disable it, it can take longer for a file/app to show up, that is all
[16:22] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: ok but it is ok to disable
[16:22] <professor_mad_do> ?
[16:22] <diogenes_> also by disabling it, your CPU will breath more easily.
[16:22] <masonbee-M1> Only until the database is built from what i have noticed.
[16:23] <oerheks> masonbee-M1 +1
[16:23] <oerheks> i would give baloo more diskspace. nobody writes about that
[16:24] <masonbee-M1> oerheks: I never thought to do that. I just turn it off until I have the time as install. https://masonbee.nz/baloo-file-index-and-extraction-problems/
[16:25] <professor_mad_do> so baloo issue is a common error
[16:25] <professor_mad_do> ??
[16:25] <oerheks> no, just impatients of the user.
[16:26] <rojo> sup
[16:26] <masonbee-M1> The initial database takes a long time to build if you have a lot of stuff or low processing power. After that it works OK although I still run into folder search situations where having kfind installed is a better way to search.
[16:28] <professor_mad_do> i also noticed that the errors happend when i upgrade to kernel 5.3.0-45
[16:33] <diogenes_> masonbee-M1, doesn't it require a database update each time you copy/modify name/create a new file? just like mlocate?
[16:35] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: Dunno. It's pretty bad at finding things though. I just tried again to check. Searched orange in a folder where there is a text file that is old and has the word in it and nothing. Searched for the name of the text file and still nothing.
[16:36] <diogenes_> masonbee-M1, yeah, that's why i prefer find -name ...
[16:37] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: What is -name?
[16:39] <diogenes_> msalvatore, find . -iname.
[16:39] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: Oh, you mean with find?
[16:39] <diogenes_> sorry masonbee-M1 ^^^
[16:39] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: ok
[16:39] <diogenes_> yes find command
[16:40] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: All good. Made me look. :)
[16:40] <diogenes_> i don't like file indexers, they only waste resources in vain.
[16:43] <masonbee-M1> diogenes_: I quite like the ones that look inside files. A good directory structure does the rest. It's when I am looking for something I vaugely remember maybe only a couple of words in a file. Baloo works fine in the app menu but doesn't seem to work on dolphin on mine.
[16:43] <urbanfbi> Hi, is it possible to add a static ip adress (in addition to the DHCP address)? And if yes, how is the best way to archive that in Kubuntu? I have some virtual machines and want them to talk to my host. The DHCP address might change, so I would have to change it in the virtual machines as well. I want to prevent that by configuring a fix address, while keeping the DHCP for accessing the internet
[16:45] <masonbee-M1> urbanfbi: you can't fix the ip address at the DHCP server? eg; you can usually fix an ip address in your router.
[16:45] <oerheks> macfilter
[16:45] <masonbee-M1> urbanfbi: Are you using virtualbox?
[16:46] <urbanfbi> @masonbee-M1: I'm using a laptop. The DHCP server changes, depending how where I connect to the internet/network
[16:46] <urbanfbi> @masonbee-M1: minikube with kvm
[16:47] <masonbee-M1> urbanfbi: Ahhh, no idea then.
[16:50] <urbanfbi> @masonbee-M1: thanks anyway :-)
[16:58] <giuseppe_> Ciao a tutti
[17:18] <Metamorphosis> Discover is almost unresponsive when I click on a .deb package. It doesn't do anything. Kubuntu 18.04.4
[17:40] <professor_mad_do> another issue i have is i can not update the current firmware with fwupd it give me no output
[17:40] <professor_mad_do> here the screenshot
[17:40] <professor_mad_do> https://pasteboard.co/J1FFTDC.png
[17:47] <oerheks> error is clear, only in UEFI mode
[17:48] <oerheks> if you installed this kubuntu in legacy-bios mode, no fix.
[18:02] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: sorry im a beginner what is UEFI MODE
[18:02] <professor_mad_do> ??
[18:04] <oerheks> UEFI is the now Bios.
[18:04] <oerheks> !uefi
[18:04] <ubottu> UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[18:05] <oerheks> without UEFI mode, there is no way to push updates to a bios or such
[18:05] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: so that is a upgrade for the bios
[18:05] <professor_mad_do> ??
[18:06] <oerheks> Yes, i think so.,
[18:08] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: ok and what do you mean if i install kubuntu in legacy-bios mode
[18:08] <professor_mad_do> ??
[18:09] <IrcsomeBot> <GalantGTR> Hi. … Ist it possible to install the KUbuntu on m2-memory???
[18:09] <oerheks> your bios gives 2 options, to boot the installer, legacy bios ór uefi.
[18:09] <oerheks> you hava chosen not-uefi, most likely
[18:10] <oerheks> only a re-install in UEFi mode fixes this update issue
[18:11] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: oh i didnt know about those bios options i just install it by default so in the next install you suggest UEFI mode
[18:11] <professor_mad_do> ??
[18:12] <oerheks> jups
[18:14] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: so maybe i have this error
[18:14] <professor_mad_do> look here
[18:14] <professor_mad_do> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Syb5ccXhfW/
[18:16] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: do you think those machine error are from the bios options
[18:16] <professor_mad_do> ??
[18:16] <oerheks> maybe those errors occure, because you have not the latest bios?
[18:17] <oerheks> check your motherboard vendor manual, howto update
[18:19] <professor_mad_do> oerheks: i recenctly update my bios
[18:19] <professor_mad_do> i dont think is out of date

[20:10] <Guest_62> hi guys
[20:11] <Guest_22> hello
[20:11] <masonbee-M1> For those that would like to know, or contribute, it looks like there is a clementine release in the making https://builds.clementine-player.org/ubuntu-bionic/
[20:11] <masonbee-M1> Scroll down to 1.4
[20:11] <Guest_22> i wanna ask
[20:12] <Guest_22> can i install kubuntu from my 2GB usb flash? or it size is too small?
[20:14] <masonbee-M1> Kubuntu 18.04 looks to be 1.8GB so that would be fine but 20.04 release builds are over 2gb currently.
