| kairox87 | hello everyone can someone help about how to make partition in kubuntu 14.10 alongside windows 8 on installation please. | 01:22 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest24567 | ||
| vinny | you want to dual boot win8 and kubuntu | 01:46 |
| kairox87 | yes i want to shrink the partition first in kubuntu but this is the probleme i didn't find a way to do it on installation | 01:56 |
| vinny | you can do it from the live medea ,,,,,, with kdepartition manager in kickoff>system ,,,,,,,,BUT I would use the win8 partition utilaty to do the shrinking | 01:58 |
| kairox87 | yes i would do it from windows 8 but he tel me that there is an error in the parition so i say maybe i should do it from kbuntu | 01:59 |
| vinny | shrink in windows ,,, run CHKDSK then think of instaling ,,,,,,,,,+ you have UEFI to think of and the secure boot thing | 02:00 |
| vinny | if you have an error in windows ,,,,do the CHKDSK thing first | 02:00 |
| kairox87 | yes i have a dell laptop | 02:01 |
| kairox87 | yes i already did the test but i think because i don't have a origine version of windows that's why he don't le me but i'm note sure | 02:01 |
| vinny | you half to scedule the disk check for a reboot ,,,,it cant check and repare the runing system | 02:03 |
| kairox87 | can you explain how to do it more please | 02:03 |
| vinny | lets see ,,,,,havent been in windows in a wile ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hummmmm ,,, my computer>right click C:drive>properties>tools tab > check disk for errors check auto fix ,,,click ok/apply ,,,,it will have a popup to do it on a reboot ,,,click OK and reboot | 02:06 |
| kairox87 | think's that's exactely what i did but i just start to hate that win 8 when he reboot nothing happen he doesn't repair anything | 02:07 |
| vinny | ya you should see it hapening ,,,,,,,,,,terminal text and all | 02:08 |
| kairox87 | think's for the help i think that's wher i'am right now i'am some kind of blocked. | 02:10 |
| vinny | you can allso try booting to safe moad ,,,,,,,F8 wile starting the box ,,,,,select comand prompt and do CHKDSK -h | 02:10 |
| vinny | or -help | 02:10 |
| vinny | to see what the repare switch is | 02:10 |
| vinny | I think it may be /p or /f | 02:11 |
| vinny | or \p or \f | 02:11 |
| vinny | cant remember | 02:11 |

| Viperisthebest | I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers with the .run file from the nvidia website but I get the error "The Distributions pre-install script has failed." | 05:01 |
| Viperisthebest | Why does the pre-install script fail? | 05:03 |
| === mkv is now known as m4v | ||
| Viperisthebest | Anyone here? | 05:09 |
| qdata | been a very long time since I did the .run thing with the nvidia | 05:10 |
| qdata | my guess is either it is looking at your distro version and not recognizing it | 05:11 |
| qdata | such might be the case if you were trying this with the 15.04 beta, wild guess on my part | 05:12 |
| qdata | the other common reasons are you don't have the build tools and/or the correct kernel headers. But these usually give a better descriptive error | 05:13 |
| Viperisthebest | on this one website it says to install build-essential, linux-source, and linux-headers-generic before installing the driver | 05:17 |
| qdata | and the headers need to match your running kernel | 05:17 |
| Viperisthebest | they will if I install the linux headers i guess | 05:18 |
| qdata | why not just install the package? | 05:18 |
| kk | hello | 05:18 |
| Viperisthebest | What package qdata? | 05:19 |
| qdata | the nvidia driver | 05:19 |
| Viperisthebest | I would be but that other stuff needs installed first | 05:19 |
| qdata | I use Muon Package Manager myself | 05:20 |
| Viperisthebest | I'm using Kubuntu 14.10 stable | 05:20 |
| kk | I have installed kubunutu x64 on windows 8 laptop, UEFI mode, but I selected either "/" partition, or bios_grub partiotion(don't remember). I am able to load from usb. How can I add ubuntu to UEFI boot menu | 05:20 |
| qdata | the driver through the package manager is already built - you don't need the other stuff | 05:20 |
| Viperisthebest | You mean the muon package manager lets you install the nvidia graphics driver? | 05:21 |
| qdata | yes | 05:21 |
| qdata | these are prebuilt, already compiled | 05:22 |
| qdata | I use 14.10 too | 05:22 |
| qdata | running nvidia-331 | 05:22 |
| Viperisthebest | I use virtualbox, it has hardware and 3d acceleration now | 05:23 |
| qdata | so is your 14.10 install the host or is it a guest? | 05:23 |
| Viperisthebest | a guest | 05:23 |
| Viperisthebest | guest is the virtual machine right | 05:24 |
| qdata | then you can't install the nvidia driver because it is not seeing the nvidia hardware, but rather the synthetic artificial vbox one | 05:24 |
| Viperisthebest | What is the artificial one called? | 05:25 |
| qdata | on some hardware and cpu combinations and later versions of virtualbox there is PCI passthrough. This would allow for you to "see" the nvidia hardware card directly | 05:25 |
| qdata | VirtualBox Graphics Adapter | 05:27 |
| qdata | is how it shows in a WinXP VM | 05:27 |
| Viperisthebest | How do you activate the PCI passthrough | 05:28 |
| qdata | the PCI passthrough thing would really be for using a second video card so it could be attached to a guest while the host OS used the first one | 05:28 |
| qdata | your cpu and motherboard hardwares have to support certain virtualization extensions for it to work. You would need to research this first. | 05:30 |
| Viperisthebest | Why couldn't I install the graphics drivers on it? Does virtualization have to be enabled in my bios? | 05:30 |
| qdata | I tried it once with only one video card in the machine and it hard locked, trashed some of the file system in the process so I never tried it again | 05:31 |
| qdata | because the entire point of virtualization is to create a "logical" machine | 05:31 |
| qdata | you should probably spend a little quality time with the virtualbox docs | 05:32 |
| qdata | what virtualbox "presents" to a guest machine is NOT the hardware on your motherboard | 05:33 |
| Viperisthebest | I could just install kubuntu on a different harddrive and boot it when I want to play linux games | 05:45 |
| Viperisthebest | if I did that I wouldn't get the error when using the .run file | 05:46 |
| qdata | true - but I know next to nothing about gaming | 05:47 |
| qdata | but if a game is expecting the binary blob drivers for performance reasons running it in a VM guest isn't going to cut it | 05:48 |
| qdata | and the only reason for messing with the .run is if your game requires a newer version of driver which isn't packaged | 05:49 |
| qdata | otherwise just install the package | 05:49 |
| Viperisthebest | from muon right | 05:49 |
| qdata | or CLI even, apt-get | 05:50 |
| qdata | whichever package manager you like best, Muon and the like are simply GUI front-ends for apt-get | 05:50 |
| qdata | do man apt-get and look at what it says | 05:51 |
| Viperisthebest | If a game is ported to Linux with the Eon wrapper is it the same as running it native? | 05:54 |
| qdata | that I do not know | 05:55 |
| Viperisthebest | I'm saving up to build a 4k res gaming pc, Do you think it is worth it? | 05:57 |
| qdata | probably not quite yet | 05:58 |
| Viperisthebest | Why do you think so? | 05:58 |
| qdata | just read about google trying out some 4k streaming video stuff and the jist was it's not quite ready for prime time yet | 05:58 |
| qdata | but my feeling is we are right around the corner for it real soon now | 05:59 |
| Viperisthebest | worth it to build one next year then? | 05:59 |
| qdata | 4k res gaming is going to be expensive hardware | 05:59 |
| qdata | my own feeling is to wait a year or two, let the really rich shake out the problems, then when companies negin to mass market maybe the teething pains might be somewhat ironed out | 06:01 |
| qdata | if you are rich and have lots of money I'd say splurge but most can't really afford it | 06:02 |
| Viperisthebest | If I ever decide to build one I'm getting the Geforce GTX Titan X SLI | 06:02 |
| qdata | better use of money to wait until 4k becomes a commodity, prices will come down to the 'everyman' range and kinks will be ironed out before spending | 06:03 |
| qdata | yeah - stuff 4 of those bad boys in a box and it'll heat the room in winter :-) | 06:03 |
| qdata | I'm just saying I can't pretend to have that kind of money, I just have to make do with what I can afford but since I'm not a gamer that's relatively easy | 06:04 |
| Viperisthebest | 4 would be overkill but of course I would get plenty of cooling before doing it | 06:05 |

| patarok | hi! | 15:44 |
| patarok | Please tell me how do i connect two external displays to my HP Pavillion g series notebook which is running Kubuntu Utopic. I have both external displays connected. One is an old low resolution TFT with a VGA(D-Sub) connector and the other one is a merely new samsung TV with HDMI in. | 15:46 |
| patarok | xrandr shows both of the external displays connected and the values for each. | 15:47 |
| patarok | in Kubuntus(respectively KDE 4's) System Preferences in the section Display configuration i can see all 3 Displays. But when i check the box on the HDMI connected Samsung Flatscreen TV the HDMI Display in "Display Configuration" gets greyed out. | 15:50 |
| patarok | VGA and internal both seem to work properly. | 15:50 |
| patarok | HDMI connected TV worked flawlessly until one connects the low-res VGA Display | 15:51 |
| patarok | any ideas? | 15:51 |
| patarok | the only idea i had until now was to reboot. | 15:52 |
| patarok | any display pros in here? | 15:53 |
| lordievader | patarok: Do I read it correctly that you cannot have all of them enabled at the same time? | 16:08 |
