| kdef | I'm still not sure about installing | 02:17 |
| kdef | I don't want the 2nd OS to install grub because I will experiment on it , installing binary video drivers etc... newer kernels etc. | 02:19 |
| kdef | and if I hose the OS, it won't boot anything ,right? | 02:19 |
| kdef | so, how can I have original OS (Kubuntu) handle bootloading (as now?) | 02:20 |
| kdef | I think two ways, can you tell me if this sounds right? | 02:20 |
| kdef | 1) don't install grub after 2nd OS install... then run grub-install | 02:20 |
| kdef | 2) install grub to /boot or somewhere else other than MBR? or is that wrong? anybody know? | 02:20 |
| kdef | or 3) after, I can re-install grub and pick /dev/sda ? | 02:21 |
| Foxhoundz | I got a problem | 02:24 |
| Foxhoundz | I did a guided install ( 50% of HDD to Windows 7, the rest to Kubuntu) | 02:25 |
| Foxhoundz | But for some reason, I don't think the MBR was properly configured | 02:25 |
| Foxhoundz | Grub doesn't start and instead it just goes straight to Windows 7 bootloader | 02:25 |
| Foxhoundz | Kubuntu version is 13.04 | 02:25 |
| Foxhoundz | Is there any way to fix or perhaps reconfigure grub? | 02:26 |
| ahoneybun | Foxhoundz: boot your computer with the disc/usb you install kubuntu with and "sudo apt-get reinstall grub"? | 02:38 |
| Foxhoundz | is...is that a question/ | 02:39 |
| Foxhoundz | ?* | 02:39 |
| ahoneybun | I'm thinking out load I guess ;) | 02:39 |
| Foxhoundz | I've installed Boot-repair via live cd | 02:42 |
| Foxhoundz | doing the "recommended repair" | 02:42 |
| Foxhoundz | looks like it's installing grub | 02:42 |
| Foxhoundz | might fix it! | 02:42 |
| Foxhoundz | Nope... | 02:43 |
| Foxhoundz | "Grub is still present" it says | 02:43 |
| ahoneybun | but grub might be misconfigured | 02:44 |
| ahoneybun | did you install kubuntu then windows? | 02:44 |
| Foxhoundz | Windows then Kubuntu | 02:45 |
| ahoneybun | odd | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm using the advanced option to try to restore MBR | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | it's generating a bootinfo sunmmar | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | summary | 02:45 |
| Foxhoundz | I'll link it in a sec | 02:46 |
| ahoneybun | send me a pastie of the command fdisk -l | 02:46 |
| Foxhoundz | didn't work | 02:49 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Guest61943 | ||
| ahoneybun | did not give you anything? | 02:51 |
| ahoneybun | try "sudo update-grub" | 02:52 |
| Foxhoundz | ahoneybun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5782374/ | 02:52 |
| Foxhoundz | fdisk -l output | 02:52 |
| Foxhoundz | It went back to windows 7 again | 02:53 |
| ahoneybun | ok so ubuntu is on sda5 | 02:53 |
| ahoneybun | Foxhoundz: try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/98962/ubuntu-11-10-not-showing-up-in-grub-bootloader-after-update-and-restart | 02:54 |
| Foxhoundz | I got this on the last command /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow | 02:56 |
| Foxhoundz | But I still rebooted and it worked! | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | got it? | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | yeah | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | it worked | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | thanks | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | sweet | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | np ;) | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | Someone should really report this as a regression, however | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | it looks like grub wasn't installed | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | Foxhoundz: it is hard to know what will happen on every computer | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | really? | 02:57 |
| ahoneybun | thats odd | 02:59 |
| Foxhoundz | As far as the machine goes, it's a pretty widely used intel based Mobo/CPU | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | I've never encountered something like this before | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | oh well | 03:00 |
| ahoneybun | Foxhoundz: that usually happens to me if I install Kubuntu then Windows | 03:01 |
| ahoneybun | Foxhoundz: well your up and running so thats good | 03:03 |
| Foxhoundz | Another problem! | 03:10 |
| Foxhoundz | Installing proprietary drivers for my AMD GPU also comes with an annoying watermark | 03:12 |
| kdef | hi foxhound | 03:51 |
| kdef | I have read about fixing the watermark prob before... I think there's a script | 03:53 |
| Foxhoundz | why does it appear though? | 04:01 |
| Costeelation | hello | 04:04 |
| Costeelation | is posible change the home button en kubuntu 12.04? | 04:05 |
| Costeelation | i dont want the K | 04:05 |
| Costeelation | or another color | 04:05 |
| valorie | Costeelation: you don't have to use kickoff | 04:06 |
| valorie | there are other launchers | 04:06 |
| valorie | homerun, launcelot, and others | 04:07 |
| Costeelation | oh well i will search :) | 04:07 |
| Costeelation | valorie: the default launcher is kickoff? | 04:09 |
| valorie | yes | 04:09 |
| valorie | also, you can hide the taskbar if you want | 04:09 |
| valorie | if you just don't want to look at it | 04:09 |
| Costeelation | oh well, I was watching launcelot and look amazing, what you use? | 04:12 |
| valorie | I just use kickoff, but lancelot has a lot of enthusiastic fans | 04:12 |
| valorie | as does homerun | 04:13 |
| valorie | I like the blue K | 04:13 |
| valorie | :-) | 04:13 |
| Costeelation | oh is cute :) | 04:14 |
| Costeelation | and you know how move the buttons minimize maximize and close to the left? | 04:15 |
| Costeelation | like as ubuntu | 04:15 |
| Costeelation | i am newbie in kde :) | 04:15 |
| valorie | you can move anything anywhere you like | 04:16 |
| valorie | do you mean the toolbar? | 04:16 |
| valorie | you can have more than one, have it one top, on either side, on the bottom, and even hidden until you hover over the edge | 04:17 |
| Costeelation | yes for example in ubuntu the close button (for close a window) is in the left | 04:17 |
| valorie | click on the little cashew symbol and plat | 04:17 |
| valorie | oh, window decoration | 04:17 |
| Costeelation | right | 04:17 |
| valorie | i think that's in system settings | 04:18 |
| Costeelation | maybe i will search too | 04:18 |

| puff` | I left my machine alone all night and all day (up early and out of town all day) and now plasma-desktop is at 106% of CPU. Wtf? Some googling turns up issues back around ubuntu version 11 with plasma-desktop staying at 25%, but not 106%. | 06:41 |

| thelionroars | anyone know how to delete 'em | 08:19 |
| valorie | thelionroars: in system settings | 08:25 |

| thelionroars | in the middle of the screen picture? hmm I'll keep trying | 08:26 |

| valorie | I wonder if we've exposed a bug | 08:26 |
| valorie | I have a laptop, and no extra monitor | 08:27 |
| thelionroars | I actually had to press and hold it, instead of sliding it | 08:28 |
| thelionroars | and the configuration had to be in default position, otherwise I was moving it around | 08:28 |

| MoinZen | not yet | 10:54 |
| lordievader | MoinZen: Try that first. | 10:54 |
| MoinZen | ok thanks .. i hope that will fix my windows 8 boot aswell | 10:55 |
| lordievader | Win8 is know to be a pita in dual-booting... Hope you fix it! | 10:56 |
| RaymondTracer | Man, dual booting on one hard drive sucks | 10:56 |
| RaymondTracer | I got a seperate hard drive for my Windows instalation | 10:56 |
| MoinZen | yeah me too | 10:57 |
| MoinZen | on fine installation of windows 8 on one ssd and kubuntu on another ssd .. both well configured .. except.. neither will boot :( | 10:58 |
| RaymondTracer | That is really weird | 10:58 |
| BigWig_ | I'm not quite sure what I did, but all of this stuff has probably broken: http://pastebin.com/YdLy9p10 | 10:58 |
| BigWig_ | What do I do D: | 10:58 |
| lordievader | BigWig_: Is the package 'kubuntu-desktop' still installed? | 10:59 |
| BigWig_ | yeah, that is still there | 11:00 |
| BigWig_ | kubuntu-settings-desktop isn't there, does that matter? | 11:00 |

| lordievader | No that is optional. | 11:01 |
| BigWig_ | Any idea how to easily get out of this predicament? | 11:02 |
| lordievader | BigWig_: Can you check the /var/log/apt/history file for what apt tried to fix with the -f flag? | 11:02 |

| BigWig_ | here is that little snippit | 11:06 |
| BigWig_ | pastebin.com/msZDRALC | 11:06 |
| MoinZen | Lordievader: how are my chances that the re install of grub will make both my os bootable? | 11:06 |
| BigWig_ | Is that what caused it? | 11:06 |
| lordievader | MoinZen: If it will fix Win8 I have no idea, never played with Win8. Let alone a dual boot. For Linux it should fix it. | 11:07 |

| natacus | how do i enable boot with nomodeset when booting from live usb? | 11:08 |
| BluesKaj | if you have W8 then your dealing with EFI , MoinZen | 11:09 |
| MoinZen | ok.. gotta read that :D but it seems like my idea to install the two os on two ssds and choose via bios wich to boot doesnt go that well :D | 11:10 |
| BluesKaj | MoinZen, actually you have no bios , you'll understand when you read the post | 11:11 |
| BigWig_ | One of the packages that got uninstalled was (I'm assuming) necessary to play back videos in VLC. What's happening now is I play a video with audio and no video :( | 11:12 |
| BigWig_ | Is my assumption correct? If so, what package would I need to reinstall to get that working again? | 11:12 |
| lordievader | BigWig_: I'm sorry I have to go, but I'm sure some one else here will help you ;) | 11:12 |
| BigWig_ | :( | 11:12 |
| MoinZen | BluesKaj: omg.. where did my good ol bios go :O (better read it fast.. :) | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | BigWig_, try playing with dragonplayer , just to test , and what is the file extension of the video ? | 11:16 |
| natacus | how do i enable boot with nomodeset when booting from live usb? | 11:17 |
| BigWig_ | it's a .mkv | 11:18 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, look in the options for F key to use | 11:18 |
| BigWig_ | Dragon player just crashes when I open up the file | 11:18 |
| BigWig_ | That happened before the bad thing though | 11:18 |
| BluesKaj | ok , what about other videos , same behaviour ? | 11:18 |
| BluesKaj | BigWig_,^ | 11:19 |
| BigWig_ | Yes | 11:19 |
| BigWig_ | I got it playing by using the open gl output | 11:19 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: when i get to grub all i see is, start Kubuntu, OEM install or check disk, then c- command line, e - edit. I dont see anything else | 11:19 |
| BigWig_ | but the screen flickers when it's playing in windowed mode :/ | 11:19 |
| BigWig_ | ooh, found an option that works | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, that's not grub that's the option page | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | you won't get grub on live media | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | BigWig_, ok which graphics card ? | 11:22 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: ok so what do i do, none of the F keys seem to do anything, I should mention this is a win8 laptop ( sony ), but i had zero issues when booting ubuntu from the memory stick | 11:23 |
| BigWig_ | Radeon Hd 6770 | 11:23 |

| BluesKaj | BigWig_, use raster with OpenGL , it's still using X no matter what | 11:26 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, any chance you have cdrom ? | 11:28 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: i have a cd drive on the laptop | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | in the windows8 machine , so you can use a live cd rather than usb | 11:29 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: yes | 11:30 |
| BluesKaj | usb media can troublesome | 11:30 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: but why would ubuntu have zero issues when boot from the usb and kubuntu just shows me that options screen? i have an nvidia card if that makes a difference | 11:31 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, recommend you burn kubuntu to a live cd , to eliminate the usb problems | 11:32 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, let's not compare apples and oranges | 11:33 |

| BluesKaj | natacus, looks like the live-dvd goes directly to the try-kubuntu option then loads the desktop ? | 12:13 |
| MoinZen | ok reinstalling grub didnt work | 12:15 |
| MoinZen | is there a good guid on how to install windows 8 and kubuntu on two seperate drives and somehow (grub, windowsboot manager, efi) choose wich to boot? | 12:16 |
| BluesKaj | MoinZen, don't think 2 different drives matters much , grub will still see the installed OSs , recommend you read this tutorial and treat the separate drive as another partition , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 12:19 |
| MoinZen | BluesKaj: ok thx | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | MoinZen, I have separate hdd with windows 7 ,and installed grub on the other drive with kubuntu and grub saw windows drive from the start | 12:23 |
| natacus | BluesKaj: no, when i tried the live dvd, i just get a screen with three choices, start kubuntu, OEM install and check disk - pressing any of these results in a blank screen | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | MoinZen, just make sure you run sudo update-grub in kubuntu if windows doesn't show up after the first boot | 12:24 |
| MoinZen | BluesKaj: right now everything seems pretty messy .. so i gonna reinstall everything ... fresh and new.. first windows 8 then kubuntu and then i run sudo update-grub after the fresh installation | 12:26 |
| BluesKaj | natacus, I have no idea what's wrong | 12:26 |

| natacus | will it be difficult to get linux set up? | 23:38 |
| OerHeks | natacus, install your system to ssd, and your /home with userdata on your HDD | 23:39 |
| natacus | OerHeks: i am trying to dual boot, laptop is win8 installed, i would like to keep both, | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | you can install complete kubuntu to your ssd and move your /home later, or choose manually partitioning. | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | oh, then you need to make space within windows 8 | 23:41 |
| natacus | OerHeks: am i in for a world of trouble :P | 23:41 |
| OerHeks | diskmanagment, and choose to decrease the volume on SSD, 10 gb will be enough i think | 23:41 |
| OerHeks | or more if you have space | 23:42 |
| OerHeks | and win8 .. you might have UEFI | 23:43 |
| natacus | i can get live kubuntu working froma usb stick | 23:43 |
| natacus | but i think i only have an 8gb ssd + 500gb hdd | 23:44 |
| OerHeks | I am not sure what will be an usefull minimum for / | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | (=root) | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | what does win8 d=say about your ssd, when you want to decrease the volume? win7 would give a max number. | 23:47 |
| natacus | OerHeks: i cant find any details in win 8 about my ssd partition | 23:48 |
| natacus | OerHeks: it tells me the following from my specs page on the webiste : The SSD module is dedicated for system responsiveness and not available for file storage | 23:50 |
| natacus | I have no idea what that means | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | i guess it acts as a big swap for windows | 23:50 |
| natacus | ok thanks, will eat some biscuits and have a think :P | 23:51 |
| natacus | thanks for the help | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | so the safest way will be installing on your hdd, i hope kubuntu leaves that ssd alone | 23:51 |
| valorie | natacus: I have kub on my ssd, and /home on my HD along with windows | 23:51 |
| valorie | win7 though, so I didn't have to fight with eufi | 23:51 |
| valorie | or whatever that is | 23:52 |
| valorie | uefi I think | 23:52 |
| OerHeks | I am lazy, run Kubuntu from ssd and have an HDD mounted for music and stuff | 23:52 |
| OerHeks | but no other OS | 23:52 |
| valorie | windows was already there, and I thought at some point I might be able to test amarok in windows | 23:53 |
| valorie | so far, not time to do that | 23:53 |
| natacus | Is there a way i can install, keep win8 as it is atm quick to boot and all, and also have the same for Kubuntu | 23:54 |
| valorie | I've never booted into windows, but the HD is huge, so what the heck | 23:54 |
| valorie | natacus: sure | 23:54 |
| valorie | however, you'll have to deal with the uefi | 23:54 |
| valorie | !efi | 23:54 |
| 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 | 23:54 |
| natacus | valorie: ya but what gets installed on the small 8gb ssd, there is not enough room for win8+linux | 23:55 |
| valorie | no, you're right | 23:55 |
| valorie | kub starts up pretty quickly on an HD | 23:56 |
| valorie | just a tick faster on the ssd | 23:56 |
| natacus | ok, will prob be back later for more advice, thanks everyone! | 23:56 |
| natacus | night | 23:56 |
