Waffl3xI need to figgure out how im going to do my drives00:00
Waffl3xI have 3 harddrives, 2 500 drives and a tb drive00:00
Waffl3xhow do I format this for windows and linux00:01
user51564894NTFS, FAT32, or -if you're okay with installing some software that totally doesn't integrate with Windows Explorer, ext2 or 3.00:02
Waffl3xI mean00:02
Waffl3xim going to dual boot it00:02
Waffl3xIm going to try to do everything on the linux side00:02
user51564894Right, but you want that storage available in both Linux and Windows, right?00:03
Waffl3xI dont care00:03
user51564894Oh.00:03
user51564894Then I would do this:00:03
Waffl3xbtw00:03
user51564894(If I didn't care about the data on the drives now)00:03
Waffl3xis there sony vegas for linux?00:03
user515648941) Install Windows.00:04
user515648942) Install Kubuntu.00:04
user515648942a) During the Kubuntu install, resize the Windows partition as small as I cared to.00:04
Waffl3xso what im thinking00:05
Waffl3xtb to linux00:05
user515648942b) Set the rest of the drives up as a single LVM volume group. (Maybe this is what the Kbuntu installer does automatically? I'm not sure.)00:05
Waffl3xthe good 500 gb drive to microsoft00:05
Waffl3xand the other one for general storage?00:06
Waffl3xgahh I dont know00:06
user51564894*shrug* That's up to you.00:06
user51564894Linux can cope with NTFS pretty well.00:06
user51564894Windows really can't cope with ext[234] at all.00:06
Waffl3xdo you know if league of legends works on linux?00:07
user51564894I don't. Check the Wine Appdb.00:07
user51564894https://appdb.winehq.org/00:07
user51564894The last time I tried LoL in wine was two or three years ago. It didn't go well.00:08
Waffl3xlooks like its allright00:09
Waffl3xso yay00:09
Waffl3xwhat video editing programs are there for linux?00:09
Waffl3xis my best bet to just use sony vegas on windows?00:10
user51564894I don't know about video editing programs, but the top three listed in the obvious google search appear to be in Kubuntu's repos. :)00:11
user51564894(pitivi, openshot, kdenlive)00:12
Waffl3xshould I pre partition my windows drive so it doesnt make the 100 mb boot partition?00:12
rohanis there a torrent for the KF5 version of Kubuntu 14.10 somewhere?00:13
user51564894Waffl3x, when I installed Kubuntu, I installed Windows first, then the Kubuntu installer allowed me to resize the windows partition to my liking.00:14
=== selby_ is now known as selby
Waffl3xwell00:14
user51564894My memory of the parition tool is fuzzy, but I do remember an advanced mode that gave you a bunch of options, maybe including the option to make LVM Volume Groups and assign partitions to Logical Volumes.00:15
Waffl3xwindows creates a 100mb partition if you edit it at all00:16
Waffl3xand you cant change it00:17
Waffl3xor it blows up00:17
Waffl3xbecause it has the boot info in there00:17
user51564894Okay, then don't change it?00:17
Waffl3xhowever00:17
* user51564894 listens00:17
Waffl3xif you edit it beforehand00:17
Waffl3xit wont make the 100 mb partition00:17
Waffl3xand save the boot info in with everything else00:17
user51564894My Windows install is in one single partition. I got it this way by installing Windows first, then Kubuntu second. Really, do whatever partition munging makes sense for you. The Kubuntu installer is flexible, unlike the Windows installer. :)00:19
Waffl3xare you sure00:20
Waffl3xare you SURE00:20
Waffl3xgo check in a partition manager00:20
user51564894Yep. I'm sure.00:20
Waffl3xit might have the pesky 100 mb one00:20
user51564894*goes to triple-check*00:20
Waffl3xpretty much00:20
Waffl3xif you try to edit the partitions in the windows partition manager it will create it00:20
user51564894I never used the windows partition manager00:20
user51564894always Linux tools.00:20
user51564894Hmm. I guess that there *is* a 100M partition at the start of that drive.00:21
user51564894*shrug* Guess I didn't notice it, as it's a 2TB drive.00:21
user51564894Given that the partition resize process took only a moment, that 100MB partition had to have been created by the Windows installer.00:22
user51564894Anyway, seeing as how you have a bunch of disks to use, you might be interested in this: https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu/Installation#Disk_Setup , but in particular, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm00:23
user51564894LVM lets you spread partitions across multiple physical disks.00:24
Waffl3xI dont think I want that00:24
Waffl3xI think what ill do00:24
Waffl3x1tb = linux, 500 = windows, 500 = videos00:24
Waffl3xif im going to be editing videos on windows00:25
Waffl3xI guess I should make the videos drive ntfs00:25
user51564894Makes sense.00:29
user51564894Yeah, that partition scheme makes sense for what you want to do.00:29
Waffl3xnow I need to figgure out how to do it00:29
user51564894Install Windows first.00:30
Waffl3xyes yes00:30
Waffl3xbut00:30
user51564894Then install Kubuntu and tell the partition editor that you want to use the 1tb drive.00:30
Waffl3xI backed up to one of the harddrives00:30
user51564894Then tell your BIOS to boot from the 1tb drive.00:30
Waffl3xshould I unplug my tb harddrive00:31
Waffl3xwould you say00:31
=== Waffl2x is now known as Waffl3x
user51564894I can't remember what the Windows installer does when it finds multiple harddrives. IIRC, you get to select one to use, but I can't remember for sure.00:33
user51564894If it were me, I would unplug all but the drive I was installing Windows on to until after that install and first boot was done.00:33
user51564894No idea what you want to do about your backup. That's your problem. :)00:33
Waffl3xso unplug it?00:35
Waffl3xjust to be safe00:35
user51564894I would unplug all drives that I wasn't planning to install Windows on yeah. So that would be the 1tb drive, and the 500gb video drive.00:37
user51564894Then plug them back in after the first windows boot was done. When installing Kubuntu, I would leave all the drives plugged in, because that installer does sane things.00:37
Waffl3xkk00:38
Waffl3xcomputer00:42
Waffl3xwat are you doing00:42
Waffl3xcomputer00:42
Waffl3xstahp00:42
Waffl3xoh wait, no, its being good00:42
Waffl3xwat00:43
Waffl3xI have 4 partitions for some reason00:43
Waffl3xdamn00:52
Waffl3xI knew I forgot something00:52
Waffl3xI forgot to grab my motherboard drivers00:52
Waffl3xoh-kay00:58
Waffl3xkeyboard isnt working00:58
Waffl3xwinders what did you do00:58
user51564894That is ever the question.00:59
Waffl3xuser51564894: I had it plugged into the 3.0's01:05
user51564894Waffl3x, ah, that'll do it. :P01:06
Waffl3xwant to help me decide what I need and what I dont need? http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO/HelpDesk_Download/01:08
user51564894What are you asking?01:10
Waffl3xwell01:15
Waffl3xnetwork drivers I probably need01:15
Waffl3xbios update I probably dont01:15
user51564894I stopped doing Windows tech support more than a decade ago. It's too much hassle. :)01:16
Waffl3xlol alleight01:16
Waffl3xuser51564894: how easy is it to upgrade bios?01:19
Waffl3xthe current version is 170801:19
Waffl3xmine is 090101:19
user51564894Waffl3x, I have an asus M5somethingEVO bios. It's easy.01:20
Waffl3xshould I bother with it?01:20
user51564894Eh. Read the release notes for each version and see if you're affected by any of the problems.01:20
user51564894Were it my machine, I would, but BIOS updates can always bring new and terrible problems.01:20
Waffl3xwell01:21
Waffl3xit says system stability01:21
Waffl3xand ive had problems with stability in the past01:21
user51564894Waffl3x, OH01:21
user51564894I have that very same board.01:21
user51564894Yes, upgrade to the latest.01:22
user51564894It's pretty critical, actually. Otherwise you get random, unexplainable hangs.01:22
user51564894>_<01:22
Waffl3xTHATS EXACTLY WHAT I GET01:22
user51564894IT'S SUCH A PAIN!01:22
user51564894I blamed shitty power for like a month!01:22
Waffl3xso upgrade to latest you think?01:23
user51564894Yes.01:23
user51564894So, unzip the zipfile, put the .ROM file at the root of a FAT32 formated USB stick, plug the stick in, reboot, and then find the BIOS flashing thing in the BIOS setup menu.01:23
user51564894It's all documented in the manual, too.01:24
Waffl3xaww you said it was easssyyyyyyyy01:25
Waffl3xwhat processor do you have btw?01:25
user51564894Phenom X4 955.01:26
user51564894That's super-easy compared to how it used to be, back in the day. ;)01:26
Waffl3xthats the one I used to have01:26
Waffl3xI have the fx 835001:26
user51564894Oh? How's it compare, performance-wise?01:27
Waffl3xits hot01:27
Waffl3xthats literally the only thing I notice about it01:27
Waffl3xit heats up my room like a heater01:27
user51564894I've heard terrible things about Bulldozer and Piledriver per-clock performance when compared to Phenom.01:27
user51564894Yikes.01:27
user51564894I actually bought this board to use with Bulldozer third-gen processors, but then AMD decided to not release those in an AM3+ socket. >_<01:28
user51564894Uh, Steamroller is the name for the gen3 Bulldozer.01:28
Waffl3xhow do I format a usb?01:28
Waffl3xI hope they arnt as crappy as the last generation was01:29
Waffl3xor im switching to intel01:29
user51564894Are you booted into KDE?01:30
Waffl3xyeah01:30
Waffl3xon my laptop01:30
user51564894I think that you can use the KDE partition manager01:30
user51564894Click on the USB drive01:31
Waffl3xim going to finish up on windows before I install kubuntu01:31
user51564894That's a very good idea.01:31
user51564894right click on the partition, click properties, then make the File system FAT32, then click OK. I think.01:32
user51564894If it's already fat32, then click "Recreate existing file system.".01:32
user51564894(I think)01:32
user51564894Then in the main window hit "Apply".01:32
Waffl3xI had to unmount it first01:33
user51564894That makes sense.01:33
Waffl3xwhat should the flags be set to?01:33
user51564894um01:33
Waffl3xbecause it was a boot drive for kubuntu01:33
user51564894probably doesn't matter, but lemmy look01:33
user51564894Yeah, doesn't matter. I guess boot could be checked.01:34
user51564894But don't check "Hidden".01:34
user51564894You're just using this to store your BIOS upgrade, yes?01:34
Waffl3xshould lba be unchecked?01:34
Waffl3xyeah01:34
user51564894On my FAT32 drive, the only thing checked is Boot01:35
Waffl3xrecreate existing file system = format right?01:35
user51564894and I bet that that could be unchecked.01:35
user51564894Yes, it does.01:35
user51564894You'll get a warning and nothing will be done till you hit apply in the main window.01:35
Waffl3xoops01:36
Waffl3xI shreaded it01:36
Waffl3x:)01:36
user51564894Heh. That'll take a while, I bet.01:36
Waffl3xits done01:37
Waffl3xbtw01:37
user51564894Cool. So, you should be able to remount it and copy the .ROM file.01:37
Waffl3xI just noticed01:37
Waffl3xmy harddrive is extended format01:38
Waffl3xlike01:38
Waffl3xthe partition is extended01:38
Waffl3xis that bad?01:38
user51564894No.01:38
Waffl3xsomeone was telling me something about it earlier01:38
Waffl3xthey said it could be good or bad01:38
user51564894There's an arcane reason why that's a thing. I can dig up the wikipedia article.01:38
Waffl3xbut I only need 2 partitions on it01:38
Waffl3xI cant mount the usb for some reason01:39
user51564894Don't worry about it.01:39
user51564894eh?01:39
user51564894What's the reason?01:39
Waffl3xidk01:39
Waffl3xits greyed out01:39
user51564894https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended_partition and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record  for more than you ever wanted to know about MBR partitioning and extended partitions.01:40
user51564894hmm01:40
user51564894Greyed out in Dolphin?01:40
Waffl3xpartition manager01:40
Waffl3xalso dolphin is being weird01:40
Waffl3xit still shows it as multiboot01:40
user51564894strange01:40
user51564894um01:40
user51564894hmm01:40
user51564894try01:40
user51564894sudo partprobe01:40
user51564894in a terminal?01:40
unopasteuser51564894 you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted01:40
Waffl3x>.>01:41
user51564894Whoops. So, try that in a terminal.01:41
user51564894Then maybe dolphin will be informed of the new partition table on the usb device. Or just remove it and plug it back in?01:42
Waffl3xoh01:42
Waffl3xI know01:42
Waffl3xI didnt click apply01:42
Waffl3xduh to the duh01:42
user51564894lulz01:42
Waffl3xim used to things updating as I go01:43
Waffl3xError: create filesystem fat 32 on partition01:44
user51564894Hrrm. We could try it manually from a terminal. What's the path to the partition on the usb device?01:44
user51564894/dev/sd{what?}01:45
Waffl3xim just going to shread it01:45
Waffl3xand then remake it01:45
user51564894Okay.01:45
Waffl3xdo I need any of the bios utilities from here?01:47
user51564894I never used them.01:48
Waffl3xso I just unzip the file01:48
Waffl3xput it in the usb drive01:48
Waffl3xand boot from usb?01:48
user51564894Yeah, the .ROM file01:48
user51564894then boot into bios setup01:48
user51564894like press F2 or something after you reboot01:48
user51564894like smash it a bunch01:49
user51564894The manual tells you how to do the update01:49
user51564894http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A99X_EVO/E6411_M5A99X_EVO.zip01:49
user51564894probably is the manual01:49
Waffl3xI have the manual right here01:50
Waffl3xwhat page?01:50
user51564894Dunno. Check the table of contents, dude. :)01:51
Waffl3xmanual is being useless01:53
user51564894Check, uh, page 3-3301:54
user51564894And then page 3-1 for how to get into the BIOS setup program.01:55
Waffl3xokay 3301:55
Waffl3xso many options I was getting confused01:55
user51564894It's good to slow down and read carefully. Nothing wrong with re-reading a section to make sure you understand it. :)01:56
Waffl3xso02:03
Waffl3xmy ram is running at 1333 speed02:03
Waffl3xbut its 1600 ram02:03
user51564894Is the bios set to use automatic RAM speed?02:03
Waffl3xI dont know02:04
ultrixxWaffl3x: most probably02:04
ultrixxWaffl3x: what cpu have you got? bios should tell you02:04
Waffl3xamd fx 835002:05
user51564894ultrixx, we're in the BIOS config, poking around with settings now. :)02:05
ultrixxah ok02:05
user51564894Waffl3x, in the "simple configuration mode" in your BIOS config, is the center button pressed?02:05
user51564894The one that's "balanced performance and speed" or whatever?02:05
Waffl3xyeah it was, but im not there right now02:05
Waffl3xim in advanced02:05
user51564894ultrixx, it turns out that Waffl3x and I have the same mobo.02:06
user51564894:D02:06
ultrixxuser51564894: cool02:06
user51564894Ah, well, go to the AI Tweaker menu and check to see if the Ai overclock tuner is set to auto02:06
user51564894and the memory frequency also set to auto02:06
Waffl3xits set to auto02:07
Waffl3xso is memory frequency02:07
user51564894And the "Current memory frequency" at the top says 1333 ?02:07
Waffl3x143902:07
user51564894hnnh.02:07
Waffl3xon the main page it says 133302:08
user51564894try rebooting. (press f10, I think?)02:08
user51564894maybe you changed some settings and they'll get applied at next boot?02:08
user51564894Then get back into the bios setup menu, of course.02:08
user51564894Oh, have you flashed to the new bios yet?02:08
Waffl3xit says 1333 now02:09
ultrixxcompiling should be extremely fast with the 835002:09
Waffl3xyeah I flashed to new bios02:09
Waffl3xnot that im going to compile ultrixx02:09
ultrixx^^02:09
user51564894Hnnh. I wouldn't worry about the RAM speed thing right now. Might come back to it later, after you've installed your OSs, and made sure that the're stable.02:10
user51564894**They're stable02:10
user51564894Though02:10
user51564894you could load the default options, save, reboot, and see what changed.02:10
Waffl3xwell I just flashed it02:10
Waffl3xso it was default02:10
user51564894mmm02:11
user51564894I load defaults after a flash, just to be paranoid. :PO02:11
ultrixxthere should be an option "set optimized defaults"02:11
user51564894Probably not needed, though.02:11
user51564894There is one thing you should change before you install windows.02:11
Waffl3xim just going to set it to 160002:11
user51564894(Have you installed windows?)02:11
Waffl3xyeah I have02:11
Waffl3xI installed exactly 2 things02:11
Waffl3xwindows and my graphics drivers02:11
user51564894Waffl3x, you should be careful with changing the memory timings. The BIOS usually gets it right.02:12
Waffl3xI doubt its going to explode in my face02:12
user51564894Anyway, um. Because you're gonna be running Linux you want to turn on IOMMU02:12
user51564894so02:12
Waffl3xIOMMU?02:12
user51564894Yeah. Go to Advanced->North Bridge Configuration02:12
ultrixxWaffl3x: thats amd speak for vt-d02:12
user51564894Then change IOMMU mode from Disabled to 64MB.02:12
user51564894That'll make virtualization faster, if you use it.02:13
user51564894And won02:13
user51564894't hurt anything if you don't.02:13
user51564894ultrixx, vt-d is  Intel-speak for IOMMU. ;)02:13
ultrixxok^^02:14
user51564894Waffl3x, I'm pretty sure that I've toggle that option after I installed Windows, and nothing bad happened afterwards.02:14
=== Michael__ is now known as Guest60771
Waffl3xuser51564894: what is virtualization?02:14
user51564894Vmware.02:14
Waffl3xah02:14
user51564894Virtualbox.02:14
Waffl3xthats what I thought02:14
user51564894*nod nod*02:14
user51564894AFK for a bit, feeding cats.02:14
Waffl3xkk02:14
ultrixxwhat a pity that amd is not very successful businesswise02:15
Waffl3xultrixx: what are these chipset updates http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO/HelpDesk_Download/02:16
Waffl3x?02:16
ultrixxdo you mean the windows drivers? bios updates or utilities?02:17
Waffl3xthe chipset section02:18
Waffl3xalso which of the usb downloads do I take?02:19
Waffl3x\02:19
ultrixxthe latest02:20
ultrixxseems to be the same software02:20
ultrixxjust different version02:20
ultrixxyeah there is one "full package" i guess with extra software and then driver updates02:21
ultrixxso i guess you are supposed to install the full package and then update with the latest driver02:22
user51564894Waffl3x, If I were tinkering with memory speed, I would run memtest86 for a day or so to make sure that the changes I made were stable. Memtest86 is a thing that you boot into that pretty thoroughly tests your RAM. You can install it once you've installed Kubuntu.02:22
ultrixxquite stupid to not document that02:22
Waffl3xultrixx: what are you talking about?02:22
Waffl3xthe big package of needless software?02:22
user51564894ultrixx, ASUS's download descriptions are a bit whacked out. :)02:22
ultrixxi talk about usb02:23
Waffl3xah02:23
ultrixxthere seems to be one big package and two update packages02:23
ultrixxat least that is my interpretation of things here02:24
Waffl3xno02:24
Waffl3xthats not at all what it is02:24
ultrixxaha02:24
Waffl3xthe big one is a booster, the other 2 are drivers for it02:24
Waffl3xwhat about the chipset section?02:25
Waffl3xanything I need there?02:25
ultrixxyes you should install all drivers02:25
Waffl3xwhat do they do?02:26
Waffl3xuser51564894: whats your take on the chipset section?02:27
user51564894Waffl3x, I don't do Windows tech support, remember?02:27
Waffl3xits not windows for all of it02:27
user51564894Kubuntu comes with all the drivers you need.02:27
Waffl3xsrsly02:27
ultrixxWaffl3x: so what is a booster?02:27
user51564894So, I would download none of them for Kubuntu.02:27
ultrixxWaffl3x: it's a driver02:28
Waffl3xits not required though02:28
Waffl3xits just to make it zoom more02:28
user51564894Yeah, srsly. Linux supports way more hardware out of the box than Windows. :)02:28
Waffl3xwhich may or may not be compatible with all devices02:28
user51564894Eh. I've had no compatibility issues with the stuff I use with Linux.02:29
Waffl3xno user51564894 Im talking about the booster02:29
Waffl3xalso, what is JMicron JMB36X Controller Driver02:30
user51564894Waffl3x, ah, got it.02:30
Waffl3xjust wish I could figgure out what the damn chipset drivers that are 800 mb are for02:31
ultrixxWaffl3x: i can tell you02:32
ultrixxthat's amd's all-in-one driver for chipset and graphics, the whole suite02:32
Waffl3xoh02:33
Waffl3xthats what you were talking about02:33
Waffl3xthat makes sense02:33
Waffl3xso that I dont need02:33
Waffl3xgoing to download it to see if you're right02:33
ultrixxyes you will need the extra usb 3.0 drivers because that appear to be chips from other manufacturers02:34
Waffl3xim pretty sure I just need the one usb driver02:34
Waffl3xbtw02:34
Waffl3xwhat is JMicron JMB36X Controller Driver02:34
ultrixxsata controller02:35
Waffl3xah02:35
Waffl3xthat ill need02:35
ultrixxyes i guess so02:35
ultrixxwhat i find terrible are the menu item descriptions in bios02:36
=== Tabstar is now known as Tabmow
Waffl3xwhys that?02:41
ultrixxthere are options that are not self explanatory and have no help text02:41
user51564894ultrixx, True. The manual may have better explanations. IMO, if the option's explanation is inscrutable, and you don't know why you might want to change it from the default, don't. :)02:44
user51564894It probably does help to remember that ASUS is a Taiwanese company that doesn't seem to want to spend a bundle of cash translating their manuals and the like.02:45
ultrixxuser51564894: very true02:46
Waffl3xugh I should have extracted these before I put the files on the other computer02:47
Waffl3xI have no extraction software02:47
user51564894Aren't they zipfiles?02:47
user51564894Windows Explorer handles zipfiles.02:47
user51564894And KDE has ark, IIRC.02:47
Waffl3xthats what im saying02:47
Waffl3xso Im forced to used stock software02:48
Waffl3xand its slow as fudge02:48
user51564894Strange. I've noticed no substantial speed difference between WE and 7-zip, nor between ark and unzip.02:50
user51564894(I don't use WE's zip extraction wizard, though. That's a bunch of dialogs.)02:51
Waffl3xwell it dies if you try to run more than one02:51
Waffl3xwhich I just found out02:51
user51564894Odd. You can open the zip file like you would a folder, then drag and drop.02:52
user51564894Maybe that would work better?02:52
Waffl3xUHHGGGGG03:15
Waffl3xthis is taking forever03:15
Waffl3xI have to copy 250 gb's of video clips03:15
user51564894Yeah, that'll take a while.03:16
Waffl3xap0c: how long have you been on?04:08
ap0cI don't know Waffl3x, left it running04:13
Waffl3xI see04:14
ap0ccomps been on for almost 4 days ^_^04:14
Waffl3xwell nice04:14
Waffl3xim almost ready to install linux on the desktop again04:14
ap0cI may be in the server but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm at the keyboard / attentive to IRC04:14
chaotixhi i really need there to be a little bit more contrast on the kde panel...04:15
ap0cWaffl3x, what happened to the old install?04:15
chaotixcan i make the panel not transparent?  and can i change the text colors?04:15
Waffl3xwell04:15
Waffl3xI decided to start fresh on my desktop04:15
Waffl3xim also giving it its own harddrive04:15
Waffl3xwindows gets one too04:15
Waffl3xbut its smaller04:16
Waffl3x:D04:16
Waffl3xim only keeping windows for the few programs that refuse to run on linux04:16
ap0cwhat doesn't run on nix?04:16
Waffl3xidk yet04:16
Waffl3xbut im sure there are some things04:16
Waffl3xlike sony vegas04:16
Waffl3xthat just came to mind04:17
Waffl3xI also had to set up a vbox for a program on my laptop04:17
Waffl3xthis is how I decided it would go04:17
Waffl3xill have windows on my desktop for games that wont run on nix04:17
Waffl3xbut on my laptop its too bad so sad04:17
Waffl3xonly keeping a small vbox for this 1 program04:18
ap0cmy laptop can run most new games in windows but I just don't like the way windows runs anymore04:18
ap0ctoo virus / error prone04:18
Waffl3xive just been sitting here for an hour04:19
Waffl3xwaiting for everything to move out of this harddrive04:20
Waffl3xbtw04:32
Waffl3xis it better to put swap on another harddrive?04:32
Waffl3xap0c04:35
ap0cI usually put swap on the same HDD as root04:41
Waffl3xkk04:41
ap0cI like to separate partitions depending on where I store most of my code / projects / important documents04:42
Waffl3xhow should I partitio04:43
ap0chttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installseparatehome04:44
Waffl3xso like before then04:45
Waffl3xI was told to not partition seperately for /home04:45
ap0cby who?  ^_^ you can partition however you want04:47
Waffl3xso on a tb drive04:47
ap0cI have 2x 500GB HDD, I think I set my /home to a few hundred and root to like 150-20004:48
Waffl3xI dont see a reason to partition /home seperately04:48
Waffl3xso 110% of ram for swap right?04:48
ap0chttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149660904:49
Waffl3xI Would rather redo settings04:51
Waffl3xso for swap, 110% of 16...  1.604:52
Waffl3x16 + 1.604:52
Waffl3xssso 18 almost04:52
Waffl3xwould you round that to 20 or just leave it at 18?04:52
Waffl3xsounds good ap0c?04:54
ap0c1024 x 16 = 16,384 ; 16,384 x 1.1 = 18,022.404:54
ap0c18,000 should be plenty04:55
ap0cbasically , swap stores ram that hasn't been accessed in awhile04:57
ap0cor extra ram if your ram gets overloaded obviously04:57
Waffl3xwhere should I store my bootloader btw04:58
Waffl3xand why does it jump from sdb1 to sdb504:58
trungI upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 and now I have some weird problem05:01

trungthe UUID is non existent05:01
Waffl3xand why does the partitions jump from sdb 1 to sdb5 on swap05:01
ap0cMBR originally only allowed 4 primary partitions05:03

ap0cwhat are the options ? I forgot05:04
ap0cI just went with default05:04
Waffl3xit lets me put it in any partition or drive05:05
Waffl3xI guess ill leave it as default05:08
Waffl3xap0c: if I want to set the bios to boot from my linux drive I should put boot loader info in the linux drive right?05:10
Waffl3xbut I dont want to do that if I want to easily boot between windows and linux right?05:10
ap0cwhat is your HDD setup, and how do you want to swap ?05:12
ap0care 2x 1TB HDD's in 1 comp?  are you swapping them as needed?05:13
ap0cI thought you were just fully installing linux, and using another comp / hdd for gaming05:13
ap0cusually the boot loader is in the root partition, within the OS05:14
ap0cthe BIOS just needs to be able to find it, it's not installed on the BIOS05:15
Waffl3xmy hd setup is 1 500 for windows 1 tb for linux05:15
ap0cyou could just install linux to the hdd and use the boot menu as your OS-selection05:16
ap0cselect a HDD to boot05:16
Waffl3xif I were to do that05:16
Waffl3xwouldnt I have to install the boot loader to the hd linux is on?05:16

Waffl3xso to recap, bootloader on second harddrive, change boot order so it boots from the second harddrive05:28
Waffl3xcorrect ap0c?05:28

BluesKajjust click on the icon then click the wrench to get accxess to edits etc13:54
amichairBluesKaj: why do I need to configure anything? it works ok after the service starts. The problem is that the service doesn't start automatically at boot time.13:55

ubottuKubuntu Plasma 5 is a tech preview. To test it out, see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/daily-live/current/ . If you find a bug, you can also check it with kubuntu-ci images for latest builds.14:48
kikideeamichair: I checked with a new profile to see if the configs are causing the trouble, but still the getting connected automatically14:49
mokushamichair: lordievader after running sudo systemsettings plasma won't start anymore because it changes the ownership of ~/.cache. you'll get to a black screen when restarting. you have to chown ~/.cache to be able to start up plasma again.14:49
mokushI'm guessing this is kubuntu specific.14:49
lordievadermokush: Use kdesudo for graphical applications. This is precisely the reason kdesudo exists.14:50
mokushlordievader: it's probably going to do the same thing isn't it. since root is running systemsettings?14:51
amichairkikidee: u mean still not connecting? well it still might be global config issue (/etc), but I don't know enough about network config to pinpoint where it is (if it is indeed config)14:51
lordievadermokush: No, kdesudo is nicer to these kinds of rights.14:51
mokushlordievader: either way, it's still an issue and should be fixed right? either in plasma upstream or in kubuntu. you can't ruin your entire system just by running systemsettings as root14:52

Waffl3xI just accidently downloaded dropbox for server I think18:09
Waffl3x:(18:09
lordievaderWaffl3x: Dropbox supplies both in their package, the deamon and the gui.18:09
Waffl3xI downloaded it like this18:09
Waffl3xcd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -18:09
Waffl3xwas that incorrect?18:09
lordievaderNo.18:09
Waffl3xokay good18:10
Waffl3xI bet you're getting tired of my daily newbie questions18:10
lordievaderIf I would I wouldn't be here ;)18:10
Waffl3x:D18:10
Waffl3xso, im thinking now, is dropbox really the best program for what I want18:11
Waffl3xI just want to sync some files between my laptop and pc18:11
lordievaderWaffl3x: Checkout rsync, man rsync18:11
Waffl3xthis looks good18:12
Waffl3xhow do I uninstall dropbox now18:12
BluesKajdropbox is ok, but gmail for sharing files and media with family is what we do now...more cpacity for free18:13
Waffl3xthats not what I want to do18:13
Waffl3xhmm18:14
Waffl3xlordievader: does rsync work on lan?18:14
lordievaderWaffl3x: It even works over the internet (ssh).18:14
Waffl3xbut I want to configure it for lan18:16
Waffl3xbecause my internet is slow18:16
Waffl3xalso18:17
Waffl3xdoes it work automatically? or do you activate it and it syncs18:17
lordievaderWaffl3x: It is a manual operation, but I suppose you can script it.18:17
Waffl3xwhen I learn it I will probably set up something18:18
Waffl3xsomething like18:18
Waffl3xwhen my laptop connects to the network18:18
Waffl3xand18:18
Waffl3xsomething else idk yet18:18
Waffl3x:)18:18
lordievaderWaffl3x: For example or every 2 hours or so... Whatever you want ;)18:19
Waffl3xso, how do I uninstall drop box?>18:19
lordievaderWaffl3x: If that earlier command was all you did: rm -r .dropbox-dist18:20
Waffl3xI think ill set up rsync later18:21
Waffl3xwant to help me install some games, or shall I go to winehq for that18:21
lordievaderWaffl3x: You don't have to set it up, that is the great thing. You just have to use it.18:21
Waffl3xneat18:21
Waffl3xwell, using it is setting it up a little18:21
Waffl3xoh18:22
Waffl3xI would have to script if I wanted to configure it huh?18:22
lordievaderNot for single-shot usage.18:23
Waffl3xthats what I mean18:23
Waffl3xif I wanted to do the same folder I would have to do a little scripting18:24
Waffl3xwhich I dont mind18:24
Waffl3xso, shall I head off to winehq to get help installing osu and league of legends?18:25
lordievaderWaffl3x: Read the man page anyhow, it will answer lots of questions.18:25
Waffl3xthe main page of rsync?18:26
Waffl3xthere isnt much here http://rsync.samba.org/18:26
lordievaderWaffl3x: No the manual page: man rsync18:26

Waffl3xoh18:26
Waffl3xthat makes more sense18:26
Waffl3xill make sure to read it after18:27
Waffl3xlordievader: winehq is dead18:29
Waffl3xso say im copying an entire program18:29
Waffl3xdo I have to put it in .wine or can I put it anywhere18:29
Waffl3xactually .wine doesnt exist18:30
Waffl3xwhy doesnt it exist18:30
Waffl3x:|18:30
lordievaderWaffl3x: I don't use Wine. Imo it ain't a solution to the problem.18:33
Waffl3xI agree, but what else do I do18:34
lordievaderSimple, dual boot.18:34
Waffl3xwhat is playonlinux btw18:34
BluesKaj!playonlinux18:37
BluesKajhmm18:37
Waffl3xlordievader: theres one problem I have with dual booting as a solution, I dont want to have to reboot every time I want to play a game that doesnt work on linux18:38
BluesKajhttps://www.playonlinux.com/en/ , Waffl3x18:38
Waffl3xBluesKaj: I have the link, im wondering what it actually is18:39
Waffl3xhow does it work18:39
Waffl3xI partly answered the question myself18:39
Waffl3xit looks like it just bundles wine with games18:39
lordievaderWaffl3x: That's the downside, true. That is why I like to have multiple pc's, I try to have dedicated pc's :)18:39
naftilos76Hi, is there a repo to upgrade the kubuntu 14.04 to the latest KDE?18:40
Waffl3xfor example lordievader, I play osu when Im waiting on a queue in dota, I wouldnt reboot to wait on a queue for dota, because I cant18:40
lordievadernaftilos76: The Kubuntu Backports repo should do that.18:41
lordievaderWaffl3x: I don't play games often, that makes it easier.18:41
Waffl3xindeed18:41
Waffl3xim transitioning off games I think, but I still play them often18:41
WalexWaffl3x: as to bundling Wine with games, the semi-commercial version of Wine called Crossover works pretty decently with many non-native games.18:46
Waffl3xlike better than wine?18:47
Waffl3xwalex I meant, thats what playonlinux looks like18:48
Waffl3xWalex: do I have to put windows programs in the .wine directory, or can they be anyway18:49
Waffl3xanywhere18:49
BluesKajmy experience with wine was when opening an .exe file it's liked to wine and then it lauches the app18:51
BluesKajlinked18:51
BluesKajbut I haven't used wine in many yrs :P18:51
Waffl3xokay ty18:52
Waffl3xI saw 1 guide that said to put it somewhere in .wine or it wouldnt work18:52

andy123Waffl3x: you can use the PID to kill the process19:31
Waffl3xI wasn't sure of the command19:31
Waffl3xso kill is the command19:31
andy123kill <PID>19:31
andy123kill -9 <PID> to force quit19:31
lordievaderkill -9 should be avoided!!!19:32
Waffl3xwhat is kill -9?19:35
andy123it forces the process to quit, BUT as lordievader said19:35
andy123its dangerous, e.g. if the program is just writing a file, the file may be corrupted19:35
Waffl3xwell19:35
Waffl3xI got lol to launch19:36
Waffl3xbut its just a black screen19:36

Waffl3xI forget19:42
andy123you can find out easily19:42
Waffl3xhow?19:42

skierpagehttp://i.imgur.com/anflVdv.png19:44
andy123this dialog is typically bugged19:45

Waffl3xandy123: I have the asus gtx 56019:47
skierpageandy123: sure, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu .  Now the notification dialog has gone away, maybe it really is just a static alert with no "Click here for next step"19:47
andy123Waffl3x: after updating, you can use the KDE menu and search "driver"19:49
andy123you should find something like "Driver management software"19:49
andy123if you're lucky, your graphics card is listed there19:50
Waffl3xdo update and upgrade?19:51
skierpageor maybe there's no next step in the dialog because my Software Sources > Updates > "Show new distribution releases" was set to "Long term support releases only". Anyway, it's off and running :19:52
andy123Waffl3x: to see if skierpage is correct, you can still use the terminal update and upgrade commands19:53
andy123first update, then upgrade (or dist-upgrade)19:54
skierpageandy123, Waffl3x I'm reporting bugs with the process, not asking for help 8-)19:54

andy123I know that behavoir... I dont trust this graphical updater19:57
andy123it sometimes hides important information19:57
andy123Waffl3x: did you do both update and upgrade?19:58
Waffl3xyes19:58
Waffl3xim changing to another driver right now19:58
andy123now look for sometzhing like "Driver management software"19:58
andy123Waffl3x: great. You will need a reboot (or at least, Xserver restart)20:00

andy123oyu can try it anyways20:24
andy123it may be backwards compatible20:24

andy123then your mono is gone I think20:24
Waffl3x_maybe20:24
Waffl3x_we will see20:24
Waffl3x_restarting20:25
Waffl3xmono still installed20:28
andy123Waffl3x: yes, but I think you have a half-installed package20:30
Waffl3xpossibly20:30
andy123sudo apt-get check20:30

andy123I need to leave soon20:37

Waffl3xmono is busted20:38
Waffl3xhttp://paste.kde.org/p6jgngbm720:38
andy123Waffl3x: This is probably due to the wrong mono version20:39
Waffl3xokay20:39
andy123I cant guarantee this, though20:40
Waffl3xhow do I download the older mono?20:40
andy123its not an easy task20:41
Waffl3xhow so20:41
andy123mono has a lot of dependencies which are probably too new on Kubuntu 14.0420:42
andy123I dont recommend trying to install it, (if you dont know what you are doing)20:43
andy123it probably involves compiling and resolving dependencies yourself20:43
Waffl3xso what do I do?20:43
andy123I'd try to contact the author of https://bitbucket.org/Xargoth/tuxlol/wiki/Home20:44
andy123this wiki entry is more than 1 year old20:44

Waffl3xyeah20:47
Waffl3xthank you20:47
andy123you're welcome20:47
andy123Waffl3x: you can use "sudo apt-get upgrade" to see if a package is half-installed20:50
andy123I'd fix this as soon as possible, because it prevents system upgrades20:51
Waffl3xI uninstalled mono20:52
andy123mono-runtime?20:52
Waffl3xyeah20:52
Waffl3xalso20:52
Waffl3xI googled20:52
Waffl3xno one has my problem20:52
Waffl3xI find that strange20:53
Waffl3xmaybe I just try using wine 1.620:53
andy123when I search for LoL on Linux, I get very long guides how to make it run20:53
andy123typically, these guides are badly tested and break from version to version...20:53
andy123so "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not list half installed packages?20:54
Waffl3xhttp://paste.kde.org/pxcww9hoz20:55
andy123Waffl3x: Great, all ok. You can use "sudo apt-get autoremove" to clean the unrequired package20:56

ap0cI'm probably going to wait until the next LTS for an upgrade23:51
valorieand in the case of this laptop, had to uninstall KDM as well!23:52
ap0cI like stability over bleeding edge personally23:52
valorieI like testing23:52
ap0cI would test if I had a box to test on, but this is my only computer really23:52
valorieand giving feedback to the devels23:52
valorieI hear ya23:52
ap0cif I want to test, it's in a VM ^23:52
valorieVMs aren't always accurate though23:52
ap0cbut VM doesn't really work hardware the same as a full install, so my feedback isn't as useful23:52
valorieif it will run in a vm great23:52
valorieif it doesnt, you never really know why23:53
ap0cit's usually slower in a VM no matter what since it's an emulator23:53
valorieexactly23:53
ap0cwhich always turns me off from using them23:53
valoriethat's why I keep old laptops around23:53
valoriefor testing23:53
ap0cthough I may use a VM to see what Arch is like without installing it23:56
ap0cand just install it in a VM to go through the process23:57
valorieprobably good for learning the nuts and bolts23:57
valorielots of fiddling possible23:57
* valorie goes out for the evening23:57
wafflej0ckap0c: arch is like a terminal before you do anything :P23:57
ap0cik wafflej0ck , you have to manually install X and your DE23:58
ap0cmanually configure everything23:58
wafflej0ckap0c: you could check out manjaro if you want to just take a look though without doing all the setup first time through23:58
wafflej0cker antegros I think is another23:58
wafflej0ckI would like to do the full arch setup too though for the sake of learning23:58
wafflej0ckfill in the gaps on what I know right now23:59
ap0cI might stay with Kubuntu for awhile, I rather like it23:59
