| sandra | G'day my fellow Kubuntu Inmates :-) | 04:47 |
| * Whiskey`Wonka glangs his bars, sings, sweet low, sweet chariot... | 04:48 | |
| Whiskey`Wonka | where did ma " " | 04:49 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | 's go | 04:49 |
| sandra | I am new to Linux and to Kubuntu and I was wondering if someone here among you could kindly tell me why Nvidia video drivers don't work on Kubuntu14.04 ? | 04:49 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | well now that is a good question, the answer however is poor and sad | 04:50 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | did you use the addition drivers to install? | 04:50 |
| sandra | I have a ASUS G750 Laptop it has dedicated Nvidia video chip | 04:51 |
| sandra | Whiskey`Wonka: Are you asking me ? | 04:51 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | that does not matter, well, it might, that gpu might not be supported. | 04:51 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | yes i was asking you | 04:51 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | sorry ill prefix | 04:52 |
| sandra | lol sorry | 04:52 |
| sandra | Whiskey`Wonka: It does support my nvidia GPU so it say's per Nvidia's website. | 04:52 |
| sandra | Whiskey`Wonka: I was wondering if perhaps I was installing it incorrectly via synaptic package manager? | 04:53 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | sandra: ah ok so you used the nvidia site's blob. try again using the 'addition drivers' app to install it | 04:53 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | yea dont do that. use the 'addition drivers' it tends to work better | 04:53 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | ive had nothing but issues doing it any other way. | 04:54 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | and try and mix them? ha! | 04:54 |
| sandra | Whiskey`Wonka: I did use the additional drivers option but it only left me at a black screen on restart. | 04:54 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | ah thats progress! | 04:55 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | likely your config needed some work at that point | 04:55 |
| sandra | Whiskey`Wonka: too this Kubuntu noobi that is looking difficult . But I am open to learing new things. | 04:57 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | well good luck, thats more a x11/lightdm/kde issue at that point. im a little to sauced to run that down | 04:58 |
| sandra | I was able to install my ATI video driver on Kubuntu 14.04 w/out any problems on Samsung ATIV8 laptop. | 04:58 |
| sandra | My next question is ...Why is it so difficult to connect a USB wireless headset to Kubuntu and just have it work ? I ask only because in Windows 8 automatically switches to my wireless headset . I am sure its my being new to Kubuntu which is the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. | 05:04 |
| ussher_ | sandra: Kubuntu 14.04 isnt due for release for another 3 months. sure thats the right version? latest stable would be 13.10 | 05:04 |
| sandra | I did notice that under Ubuntu 14.04 all I had to do was switch to my wirless headset it was fast and efficent. | 05:05 |
| sandra | ussher_: My son put it on for me but I did notice the same problem under Kubuntu 13.10 in regards to my wireless headset. | 05:06 |
| ussher_ | (k)ububntu numbers are (year).(month) and release in 6 month intervals. 14.04 is 2014.april but its only 2014.Jan right now. | 05:07 |
| sandra | ussher_: Could you perhaps tell me of a easy way to enable my wireless USB headset on Kubuntu ? | 05:08 |
| ussher_ | not sure. What i would do would be to take the model number and see if there are any blogs about setting it up "seutup wireless xx-214 headset kubuntu". something like that. | 05:09 |
| ussher_ | 12.04 has the suffux LTS which stans for "Long term support" . I like those builds because nothing changes much. | 05:10 |
| sandra | ussher_: well a wireless headset is still a USB headset as I said I noticed that in Ubuntu 14.04 it was very easy to just select my USB headset via the sound settings but in Kubuntu I don't see any such option within their Speaker icon option. | 05:13 |
| ussher_ | 14.04 is still in Alpha 1 status. its not stable. its really for testing only. expect not all things to work. | 05:14 |
| sandra | ussher_: Yes but the same problem exists under Kubuntu 13.10 also | 05:15 |
| sandra | ussher_: And well other then my USB headset not working off the bat ...I truly am enjoying Kubuntu 14.04 it's a lot better then Windows 8 in my opinion. | 05:16 |
| ussher_ | :) | 05:17 |
| sandra | If my poor departed husband could see me now he would be so surprised .......he always handled my computer issues lol | 05:18 |
| sandra | I did read that both Kubuntu and Ubuntu use Pulse Audio and yet I can't figure out why switching to USB headset seems more difficult under Kubuntu then Ubuntu at this time. | 05:22 |
| sandra | Is anyone here currently using a USB headset under Kubuntu 14.04 or 13.10 ? | 05:27 |

| Yaroslav | hello everyone,can i get some help please | 06:02 |
| Yaroslav | i'm trying to install kubuntu 12.04.3 on my laptop and installation stops with an error that "grub-efi" was not installed | 06:03 |
| Yaroslav | tried to install it from ubs-flash and a cd,both failed with that error | 06:05 |
| Yaroslav | after searching in the net about this problem i tried to install grub from the konsole of kubuntu | 06:06 |
| sandra | Yaroslav: Are you on a UEFI laptop system ? | 06:19 |
| Yaroslav | yes,i am | 06:35 |
| valorie | !efi | 06:38 |
| 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 | 06:38 |
| Yaroslav | An EFI partition can be created via a recent version of GParted (the Gparted version included in the 12.04 disk is OK), and must have the following attributes: Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically) Size: minimum 100Mib. 200MiB recommended. Type: FAT32 Other: needs a "boot" flag. | 06:47 |
| Yaroslav | in the installation there is a possibility to choose "efi partition" | 06:48 |
| Yaroslav | do i have to choose fat32 or the type i said in the previous message? | 06:48 |

| sandra | Yaroslav: May I ask why don't wish to use Ubuntu 13.10 ? I only ask because I had no problems setting up or installing Ubuntu 13.10 on my EFI laptop Ubuntu 12.04 was sadly a different story. | 07:00 |

| Strav` | he. I'm having some troubles compiling nepomuk-core using the kdesrc-build script. The log says I'm missing Soprano (required version >= 2.9.3); I have libsoprano-dev version 2.9.4 installed as well as soprano-daemon and libsoprano4 (all version 2.9.4). Any thoughts on how to fix this error? | 07:31 |
| valorie | Strav`: maybe try #nepomuk-kde ? | 07:34 |
| Strav` | didn't knew it existed. Thanks! (although, the question seems relevant to kubuntu since there's some problem with my config) | 07:36 |
| valorie | true, but most people don't compile nepomuk! | 07:39 |
| valorie | !alis | Strav` | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Strav`: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 07:40 |
| Strav` | hmmm sweet :) | 07:40 |

| Scunizi | I'm trying to get nvidia-319 or 331 installed for opengl support. (304 has a bug preventing it from functioning correctly). I've installed x-swat ppa and now the driver for 319 appears in "Additional Drivers" but when installing it installs the kernel driver for 331 along with the 319 drivers so there is a conflict. How do I solve this? | 18:36 |
