[00:04] <redphant> my EFI system partition is damaged. is there any way to repair that?
[00:48] <Guest72623> can someone please help me rescue my system? /dev/sda3 can be ignored i think. it was part of a solution i was trying that didn't end up working https://pastebin.com/MBGKNpKr
[00:49] <Guest72623> I can get into Grub again but I am unable to get into kubuntu
[00:49] <Guest72623> just a black screen
[00:54] <Guest72623> according to my log there are no errors in my boot partition and things look good so i'm really confused why im not booting
[00:58] <Guest72623> please someone help.. i've been working on this all day
[01:03] <djcray> You know that not all are here online and waiting for you 24/7 do you?
[01:03] <Guest72623> i understand but im on a live usb and i keep fiddling and making things worse
[01:04] <Guest72623> so my situation is dire :)
[01:04] <djcray> just dont fiddling and do a backup of your data, install it new and look if the problem is still there?
[01:05] <Guest72623> install what new?
[01:05] <djcray> kubunut
[01:05] <Guest72623> can i just reinstall kubuntu on my existing ubuntu installation?
[01:05] <Guest72623> will it erase my data?
[01:05] <djcray> probly yes, and you should do backups.
[01:06] <djcray> Even if you are not reinstall, do backups. Its allways a good idea.
[01:07] <Guest72623> will kubuntu save my /home folder though?
[01:07] <Guest72623> that's really what i'm most worried about losing
[01:07] <djcray> why dont you just do a complete backup of all your data?
[01:08] <Guest72623> i'm also trying to get a windows/ubuntu dual boot. i think i broke the windows installation in all of this mess, so if i reinstall windows again, then reinstall kubuntu will that fix my dual bootloader issues?
[01:08] <Guest72623> i'm not familiar with backups, and linux in general.
[01:10] <djcray> http://www.worldbackupday.com
[01:10] <djcray> just do a backup, then you have atleast your data on a safe place and if your data gets lost, you can just get it back from that backup.
[01:11] <Guest72623> i guess i just never had the extra space or trust for web backups but i guess i will look into doing that from now on
[01:11] <Guest72623> thanks for the nudge :p
 Hello Everyone ! I just found out about this place. I'm having an issue I wasted an hour on with no avail..
 KDE Connect (desktop on Plasma) does not have the functionality to compose new text/sms messages. am I the only one?
 because no-one on the internet seems to have reported that issue.
 hello?
[01:58] <viewer|47810> Hello where can I get help learning to send SMS from plasma desktop (KDE connect) ?
[01:58] <viewer|47810> is this teh right place to ask?
 oh look my IRC requests popped up here!
[06:46] <jcderhb> hi
[06:46] <jcderhb> is the package kububtu-desktop by default installed i kubuntu?
 yes
[06:48] <jcderhb> thanks!
[06:49] <jcderhb> its for some reason uninstalled on my kubuntu system
[06:49] <jcderhb> got a black  linking cursor on boot and pladma is not starting
[06:50] <jcderhb> also plasma-desktop was uninstalled. no idea what caused this
[06:53] <jcderhb> acheronuk no its seems not installed by default
[06:53] <jcderhb> i checked on my laptop
[06:53] <jcderhb> ??
[06:54] <jcderhb> dpkg --get-selections kubuntu-desktop  doesnt list it
 kubuntu-desktop package is not essential to have a working plasma, as it's just a meta package to pull in needed things.
 kubutnu-desktop is installed by 'default', but is also removable as it is 'recommends' for a kubuntu/plasma, not full depends
 if it ins not installed, something or someone has uninstalled it at some point
[06:59] <jcderhb> hmm
[06:59] <jcderhb> now it worls acheronuk
[07:00] <jcderhb> after installing kubuntu-desktop
[07:00] <jcderhb> maybe uninstalling fonts-noto somehow im uninstalled it too :|
[07:00] <jcderhb> thanks!
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
 Hello anyone figured out how to text SMS from Plasma? Through KDE connect?
[12:15] <Dragnslcr> dinoraptor101 - from what I've been able to tell so far, you can only reply to a message that you receive
[13:21] <dj23rus> Guys, does anyone can help me with new driver for my videocard?
[13:30] <byter-hu> ?
[14:28] <Hurensohn> hi
[14:29] <Hurensohn> kubuntu is the best Linux
[14:29] <Hurensohn> go to http://sadifo.esy.es thats WTF
[15:36] <clivejo> @dinoraptor101 KDEConnect as a tool can compose and send SMS
[15:36] <clivejo> they are working on the UI to do so from within plasma
[15:37] <clivejo> from your command prompt run "kdeconnect-cli -l"
[15:37] <clivejo> and make a note of your device ID
[15:38] <clivejo> then run "kdeconnect-cli --send-sms <your_message> --destination <full international phone number> --device <device ide from command above>
[15:38] <clivejo> oh, they left :/
[19:01] <Astoris> hey ho
