[08:26] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:56] <Darkchaos> my CTRL+Space bar has just freezed, any idea on how to recover? Kill the whole session isn't something I'd like to do^^
[09:56] <hateball> Darkchaos: do you mean that krunner has froze?
[09:57] <Darkchaos> If that's where I can just enter a partial program name and make it run then yes
[09:57] <hateball> yes, that would be it
[09:57] <Darkchaos> But the start menu and such are still alive
[09:57] <Darkchaos> so I can just kill krunner?
[09:57] <hateball> Darkchaos: open a terminal and kill krunner
[09:57] <hateball> yes
[09:57] <Darkchaos> okay perfect, thanks :)
[09:57] <hateball> it will restart itself iirc
[09:57] <hateball> otherwise just start the process
[09:59] <Darkchaos> okay, it seems my system got confused, might be related to a bit too much overclocking, since I get kernel oops (unable to handle paging request) and the terminal never returns :D
[09:59] <Darkchaos> but thanks anyway :)

[17:11] <user|71604> how can upgrade kde in kubuntu 16.04 to kde 5.8 ?
[17:12] <acheronuk> user|71604: plasma 5.8 is in the kubuntu backports ppa
[17:12] <acheronuk> https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports
[17:14] <user|71604> this source save ?
[17:19] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> has been tested as much as can reasonably be done, but as with any major version upgrade a few people might find it doesn't suit thier machines or hardware. however, same can be said with each new k/ubuntu version

[18:50] <BluesKaj> does the vpn service recommend set up from the router rather than the nic interface on the pc?

[19:19] <zodiac19> had dual boot settup from 2 hard drives, one windows, one kubuntu, grub installed to dualboot. I removed the linux drive to replace it with a 1tb hard drive and tried to boot up windows to which i get put into grub rescue mode, i wish to enter windows and partion my new hard drive so i can transfer my kubuntu files onto one of the two partions, any ideas?
[19:19] <zodiac19> ubuntu server suggested getting a boot usb and setting up my linux os from that on the new drive
[19:21] <zodiac19> my previous linux drive was only 120 gb, so this is an updgrade
[19:23] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, set your windows drive as the first in the boot sequence in uefi or bios
[19:24] <BluesKaj> then follow the advice given at ubuntu
[19:28] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, however your windows drive should boot if it's first in the boot sequnce if you use a BIOS, not sure about UEFI
[19:29] <zodiac19> it has always been the first, but grub loaded up linux as my main on power up unless i selcted windows manually
[19:31] <BluesKaj> yes, but is your pc a BIOS or UEFI ?
[19:32] <BluesKaj> if it's newer than 2009 then it's most likely UEFI
[19:33] <zodiac19> how would i tell from the hp computer setup screen?
[19:34] <BluesKaj> hp is probly F10 to get into the BIOS
[19:34] <zodiac19> so far i see the word bios on every tab of the settup screen if that says anything abou tit
[19:36] <BluesKaj> -then go to the boot sequence and make the windows hdd boot first after the cdrom
[19:37] <zodiac19> same issue
[19:38] <BluesKaj> use the arrow keys to navigate
[19:39] <zodiac19> I have reorganized for my windows hard drive to be first in the order, and a few other orders in case it wasnt reading it as the first drive a few different times
[19:40] <BluesKaj> ok , which "buntu are yoiu installing on the new drive?
[19:41] <zodiac19> original boot order iis PCIe/M.2 SSD Drive ; Notebook Upgrade bay ; usb cd-rom ; notebook hard drive 1 ; notebook hard drive 2 ; usb flopppy ; usb hard drive ; ethernet ; dock upgrade bay ; esatadrive
[19:41] <zodiac19> xubuntu
[19:47] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, then i suggest you join #ubuntu or #xubuntu

[20:09] <wish^> What are the main differences between kubuntu and kde neon?
[20:12] <zodiac19> yes, but you guys are more awesome, and i found a windows install disk i use for my friends who i cant convert to linux, i can now repair my boot that way, but thanks for the help!
[20:14] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, run os-prober in 'buntu terminal if you can't boot windows after installing ubuntu, the sudo update-grub
[20:14] <BluesKaj> then
[20:15] <BluesKaj> wish^, kde-neon is an edgier version of kubuntu afaik.
[20:16] <zodiac19> it just occured to me that i never tried pressing f9...
[20:30] <zodiac19> Thank you kindly BluesKaj I have repaired my computer to lone boot windows for now, i can now format my new Hard drive and begin again thanks to your help, and thus my journey begins anew!
[20:31] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, good luck :-)
[20:32] <zodiac19> *grabs leather shield and wooden sword and treks off into the dark mysterious cave for treasure, advenure, and glory for which his story may never be told*
[20:33] <BluesKaj> sounds like LOTRO
[20:34] <BluesKaj> zodiac19,^
[20:34] <zodiac19> actually i was paraphrasing a non tabletop dungeons and dragons story ending to fit my situation, give/take
[20:35] <zodiac19> sometimes stories are just as good as games
[20:35]  * BluesKaj nods
[20:36] <BluesKaj> wife plays both LOTRO and D&D...I don't game
[20:37] <zodiac19> interesting turn of events, it usually works the other way around, guess you found someone really special
[20:40] <BluesKaj> -zodiac19, we're an old retired couple ..she games and I do linux :-)
[20:41] <zodiac19> well that makes sense i guess, each of you fills your freetime mini joys with your own hobbies, and can likely do it together at that
[20:42] <BluesKaj> we have our own computers of course and maintain them ..try to keep up on things in the windows world as well
[20:46] <zodiac19> sounds like a happy life to me, wish you both well
[20:49] <BluesKaj> zodiac19, thanks
[20:49] <zodiac19> oh and godspeed!
