[04:47] <sandra> G'day my fellow Kubuntu Inmates :-)
[04:48]  * Whiskey`Wonka glangs his bars, sings, sweet low, sweet chariot...
[04:49] <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 ?
[04:50] <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?
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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.
[04:53] <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
[04:54] <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.
[04:55] <Whiskey`Wonka> ah thats progress!
[04:55] <Whiskey`Wonka> likely your config needed some work at that point
[04:57] <sandra> Whiskey`Wonka: too this Kubuntu noobi that is looking difficult . But I am open to learing new things.
[04:58] <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.
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <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.
[05:06] <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.
[05:07] <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.
[05:08] <sandra> ussher_: Could you perhaps tell me of a easy way to enable my wireless USB headset on Kubuntu ?
[05:09] <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.
[05:10] <ussher_> 12.04 has the suffux LTS which stans for "Long term support" .  I like those builds because nothing changes much.
[05:13] <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.
[05:14] <ussher_> 14.04 is still in Alpha 1 status.  its not stable.  its really for testing only.  expect not all things to work.
[05:15] <sandra> ussher_: Yes but the same problem exists under Kubuntu 13.10 also
[05:16] <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.
[05:17] <ussher_> :)
[05:18] <sandra> If my poor departed husband could see me now he would be so surprised .......he always handled my computer issues lol
[05:22] <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.
[05:27] <sandra> Is anyone here currently using a USB headset under Kubuntu 14.04 or 13.10 ?
[05:44] <sandra> Is anyone here currently using a USB headset under Kubuntu 14.04 or 13.10 ?
[06:02] <Yaroslav> hello everyone,can i get some help please
[06:03] <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
[06:05] <Yaroslav> tried to install it from ubs-flash and a cd,both failed with that error
[06:06] <Yaroslav> after searching in the net about this problem i tried to install grub from the konsole of kubuntu
[06:19] <sandra> Yaroslav: Are you on a UEFI laptop system ?
[06:35] <Yaroslav> yes,i am
[06:38] <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
[06:47] <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.
[06:48] <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?

[07:00] <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.

[07:31] <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?
[07:34] <valorie> Strav`: maybe try #nepomuk-kde ?
[07:36] <Strav`> didn't knew it existed. Thanks! (although, the question seems relevant to kubuntu since there's some problem with my config)
[07:39] <valorie> true, but most people don't compile nepomuk!

[18:36] <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?
