@guiverc, I just installed Kubuntu 19.10 choosing the minimal software option in a VM. Have you tried having both Kubuntu 19.10 and Lubuntu 19.10 on the same system?

10:40 AM

not in a long long time sorry @DKBose (too long back to be of use to you)

@guiverc, Ok! maybe I'll give it a go in a few days.

(never with 19.10 actually - I missed that key point sorry)

@guiverc, I'll clone the Kubuntu 19.10 VM and add lubuntu-desktop.

@DKBose I just booted a 19.10 machine & have started install kubuntu-desktop ... (a QA-testing install; it'll be re-install in a few days anyway...)

11:27 AM

@DKBose at this early point no issues... sddm showed a virtual keyboard at login screen I'm not familiar with; but lubuntu looks & reacts normally. Kubuntu feels just like it did earlier today in QA-test (different box; I did have trouble adjusting displays to match my setup, but I'll blame me for now..) it's preliminary but first indications are no issues..

@guiverc I'm installing lubuntu-desktop right now. It'll take some time because my internet speed isn't that great.

11:48 AM

fine I got it. Right avatar

@guiverc, I too got the virtual keyboard after installing lubuntu-desktop, and rebooting. It appeared before I could choose to log into the lubuntu-desktop. It doesn't appear with the original Kubuntu 19.10 system.

@DKBose it wasn't a problem for me as appeared only on one screen (virtual keyboard) ; I changed theme (in plasma/kubuntu) & it's gone from my login screen now. no issues at all, and tons of play in plasma (the setup will be hard to wipe, I've got it almost perfect! but it'll go...)

Maybe it has something to do with a full Kubuntu desktop? I did a minimal install. No idea.

12:10 PM

I have no idea either, but i'm not fussed. If it were on my x86 tablet it'd be a good thing! In the coming days, my primary desktop may be loosing it's mate desktop, and gaining kubuntu :)

(primary currently has gnome, Lubuntu (LXDE & LXQt), XFCE & MATE)

@guiverc I went into the clone with Lubuntu again and pressed the "down" arrow at the bottom right corner of the virtual keyboard to make it go away and to get the regular Lubuntu (LXQt) login screen. Thanks for looking into this!

You're most welcome.

(it was fun !!)

Hey @JourneymanGeek!!! Just out of curiosity, I remember you and Monica were mods on MSE. But now I can't see a diamond beside your name. Did you people step down as a mod or is it a bug?

I can only see 2 elected MSE mods

@Kulfy uhm.

@Kulfy I'm taking a break.

Might be a long one.

I guess only from MSE. Monica OTOH took break from all sites (Strange).

@Kulfy I don't think I have a good answer I can share about that at present

I have a dual boot system with 2 versions (derivatives) of Ubuntu installed (Linux Mint 17.3 KDE and Kubuntu 18.04). In order to keep the LM install in control of the GRUB boot manager updates (because it is my primary OS), I installed Kubuntu telling it not to install the boot manager (using ub...

Thank you

how was the movie?

@Videonauth Ad Astra is worth the view.

good to know :)

Huh. Someone disagreed this is a good question

Sounds pretty dangerous testing sprinklers with live computers beneath them :)

10:42 PM

@Videonauth Well, I've seen it happen and if everything goes well, there are only a few drops of water coming out, but if they fall on the wrong spot it's a disaster, so that's why we're getting buckets, tarpaulin, reversed umbrella's in...

:) I have seen a complete company server submerged in some gelantine kind liqued for making sure nothing burns etc but no clue what stuff that was and if you could pump it through water pipes

All i know its a PITA to change hardware on those machines
