[00:06] <vinny> have you tryed from the command line
[00:07] <vinny> IE: sudo shutdown -h now
[00:11] <vinny> if I'm remembering right my 15.04 install is doing this as well,,,,,, and I half to switch to a tty (ctrl+alt+F6) and run it from their
[00:12] <vinny> as once you try to shutdown and it dose not you cant pull up a konsole
[00:14] <vinny> remember 15.04 is not a relece yet ,,,,,,,and their will still be querks/brakeage untill it is
[01:04] <hilocurado> hola muchachos!
[01:09] <vinny> hola :)
[01:22] <kairox87> hello everyone can someone help about how to make partition in kubuntu 14.10 alongside windows 8 on installation please.
[01:46] <vinny> you want to dual boot win8 and kubuntu
[01:56] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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
[02:03] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <vinny> ya you should see it hapening ,,,,,,,,,,terminal text and all
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <vinny> I think it may be /p or /f
[02:11] <vinny> or \p or \f
[02:11] <vinny> cant remember
[02:12] <kairox87> think's i will try it right now i don't have other choice
[02:12] <vinny> K
[02:13] <kairox87> i will leave you think's you very much for the help god bye.
[02:13] <vinny> welcom hope it helps
[02:49] <Finetundra> where would I ask questions about lxqt on kubuntu?
[03:55] <Mneuro> What is the best way to cleanly replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu mate desktop?
[03:56] <Mneuro> I am worried that if i remove kubuntu-desktop after i install mate-desktop that it will be messy
[05:01] <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."
[05:03] <Viperisthebest> Why does the pre-install script fail?
[05:09] <Viperisthebest> Anyone here?
[05:10] <qdata> been a very long time since I did the .run thing with the nvidia
[05:11] <qdata> my guess is either it is looking at your distro version and not recognizing it
[05:12] <qdata> such might be the case if you were trying this with the 15.04 beta, wild guess on my part
[05:13] <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
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <Viperisthebest> they will if I install the linux headers i guess
[05:18] <qdata> why not just install the package?
[05:18] <kk> hello
[05:19] <Viperisthebest> What package qdata?
[05:19] <qdata> the nvidia driver
[05:19] <Viperisthebest> I would be but that other stuff needs installed first
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <Viperisthebest> You mean the muon package manager lets you install the nvidia graphics driver?
[05:21] <qdata> yes
[05:22] <qdata> these are prebuilt, already compiled
[05:22] <qdata> I use 14.10 too
[05:22] <qdata> running nvidia-331
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <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
[05:25] <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
[05:27] <qdata> VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
[05:27] <qdata> is how it shows in a WinXP VM
[05:28] <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
[05:30] <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?
[05:31] <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
[05:32] <qdata> you should probably spend a little quality time with the virtualbox docs
[05:33] <qdata> what virtualbox "presents" to a guest machine is NOT the hardware on your motherboard
[05:45] <Viperisthebest> I could just install kubuntu on a different harddrive and boot it when I want to play linux games
[05:46] <Viperisthebest> if I did that I wouldn't get the error when using the .run file
[05:47] <qdata> true - but I know next to nothing about gaming
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <qdata> do man apt-get and look at what it says
[05:54] <Viperisthebest> If a game is ported to Linux with the Eon wrapper is it the same as running it native?
[05:55] <qdata> that I do not know
[05:57] <Viperisthebest> I'm saving up to build a 4k res gaming pc, Do you think it is worth it?
[05:58] <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
[05:59] <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
[06:01] <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
[06:02] <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
[06:03] <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  :-)
[06:04] <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
[06:05] <Viperisthebest> 4 would be overkill but of course I would get plenty of cooling before doing it
[08:58] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:58] <MoonUnit`> morning
[08:59] <lordievader> Hey MoonUnit`
[09:04] <MoonUnit`> my wallet is crying this morning, ordered the samsung galaxy s6 edge (64GB green).
[09:52] <yossarianuk> made a bug report about the ubuntu-bug bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1437803

[12:28] <lordievader> Hey Graf_Westerholt
[15:44] <patarok> hi!
[15:46] <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.
[15:47] <patarok> xrandr shows both of the external displays connected and the values for each.
[15:50] <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.
[15:51] <patarok> HDMI connected TV worked flawlessly until one connects the low-res VGA Display
[15:51] <patarok> any ideas?
[15:52] <patarok> the only idea i had until now was to reboot.
[15:53] <patarok> any display pros in here?
[16:08] <lordievader> patarok: Do I read it correctly that you cannot have all of them enabled at the same time?
[16:40] <travnewmatic> need help, attemtpting to multiboot on one hd windows 7, utopic, and vivid, with the linux distros each having their own / partition, but sharing /boot and /home and swap
[16:40] <travnewmatic> os-prober does indeed see windows and vivid from utopic
[16:41] <travnewmatic> but when i do grub-install /dev/sda the menu generated still only includes Windows and Utopic
[16:45] <travnewmatic> http://pastebin.com/ARB5G4H1
[16:46] <Felishia> chrome crashes KDE :<
[16:46] <Felishia> but works fine on fluxbox
[16:46] <Felishia> it's like the whole lightdm that crashes
[16:46] <Felishia> I tried restarting it but it doesn't even work
[16:46] <Felishia> I have to restart my pc
[17:53] <travnewmatic> neeed gruuuub haaaaalpz
[17:53] <travnewmatic> http://pastebin.com/NaU3NwPW
[17:54] <travnewmatic> its not putting a vivid entry in grub.cfg, despite it showing up in the output of those commands
[17:55] <Unit193> travnewmatic: No need to crosspost.
[17:55] <lordievader> travnewmatic: Could you post your grub config? (/boot/grub/grub.cfg)
[17:55] <travnewmatic> i'd be happy to
[17:56] <lordievader> Ah. yes. Lets continue in #ubuntu+1
[17:56] <Unit193> lordievader: Since you are also in #ubuntu+1, you may want to join in there?
[17:56] <Unit193> Bah.
[18:01] <vinny> travnewmatic - you dont half to run os-prober as a separet command with update-grub ,,,,,,,,,,,,,unless you have it turned off in /etc/default/grub
[18:07] <travnewmatic> vinny, that makes sense, also this discussion has continued in #ubuntu+1 if you are interested :)
