[00:01] help! my kubuntu 15.04 cannot shut down after installation [00:06] have you tryed from the command line [00:07] IE: sudo shutdown -h now [00:11] 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] as once you try to shutdown and it dose not you cant pull up a konsole [00:14] remember 15.04 is not a relece yet ,,,,,,,and their will still be querks/brakeage untill it is === Yukkino is now known as Yukkii [01:04] hola muchachos! [01:09] hola :) [01:22] hello everyone can someone help about how to make partition in kubuntu 14.10 alongside windows 8 on installation please. === dan_ is now known as Guest24567 [01:46] you want to dual boot win8 and kubuntu [01:56] 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] 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] 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] shrink in windows ,,, run CHKDSK then think of instaling ,,,,,,,,,+ you have UEFI to think of and the secure boot thing [02:00] if you have an error in windows ,,,,do the CHKDSK thing first [02:01] yes i have a dell laptop [02:01] 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] you half to scedule the disk check for a reboot ,,,,it cant check and repare the runing system [02:03] can you explain how to do it more please [02:06] 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] 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] ya you should see it hapening ,,,,,,,,,,terminal text and all [02:10] think's for the help i think that's wher i'am right now i'am some kind of blocked.

[02:13] welcom hope it helps === Khaotic is now known as Programmer_ [02:49] where would I ask questions about lxqt on kubuntu? === kubuntu is now known as Guest15908 [03:55] What is the best way to cleanly replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu mate desktop? [03:56] I am worried that if i remove kubuntu-desktop after i install mate-desktop that it will be messy [05:01] 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] Why does the pre-install script fail? === mkv is now known as m4v [05:09] Anyone here? [05:10] been a very long time since I did the .run thing with the nvidia [05:11] my guess is either it is looking at your distro version and not recognizing it [05:12] such might be the case if you were trying this with the 15.04 beta, wild guess on my part [05:13] 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] on this one website it says to install build-essential, linux-source, and linux-headers-generic before installing the driver [05:17] and the headers need to match your running kernel [05:18] they will if I install the linux headers i guess [05:18] why not just install the package? [05:18] hello [05:19] What package qdata? [05:19] the nvidia driver [05:19] I would be but that other stuff needs installed first [05:20] I use Muon Package Manager myself [05:20] I'm using Kubuntu 14.10 stable [05:20] 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] the driver through the package manager is already built - you don't need the other stuff [05:21] You mean the muon package manager lets you install the nvidia graphics driver? [05:21] yes [05:22] these are prebuilt, already compiled [05:22] I use 14.10 too [05:22] running nvidia-331 [05:23] I use virtualbox, it has hardware and 3d acceleration now [05:23] so is your 14.10 install the host or is it a guest? [05:23] a guest [05:24] guest is the virtual machine right [05:24] 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] What is the artificial one called? [05:25] 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] VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [05:27] is how it shows in a WinXP VM [05:28] How do you activate the PCI passthrough [05:28] 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] your cpu and motherboard hardwares have to support certain virtualization extensions for it to work. You would need to research this first. [05:30] Why couldn't I install the graphics drivers on it? Does virtualization have to be enabled in my bios? [05:31] 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] because the entire point of virtualization is to create a "logical" machine [05:32] you should probably spend a little quality time with the virtualbox docs [05:33] what virtualbox "presents" to a guest machine is NOT the hardware on your motherboard [05:45] I could just install kubuntu on a different harddrive and boot it when I want to play linux games [05:46] if I did that I wouldn't get the error when using the .run file [05:47] true - but I know next to nothing about gaming [05:48] 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] 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] otherwise just install the package [05:49] from muon right [05:50] or CLI even, apt-get [05:50] whichever package manager you like best, Muon and the like are simply GUI front-ends for apt-get [05:51] do man apt-get and look at what it says [05:54] If a game is ported to Linux with the Eon wrapper is it the same as running it native? [05:55] that I do not know [05:57] I'm saving up to build a 4k res gaming pc, Do you think it is worth it? [05:58] probably not quite yet [05:58] Why do you think so? [05:58] 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] but my feeling is we are right around the corner for it real soon now [05:59] worth it to build one next year then? [05:59] 4k res gaming is going to be expensive hardware [06:01] 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] if you are rich and have lots of money I'd say splurge but most can't really afford it [06:02] If I ever decide to build one I'm getting the Geforce GTX Titan X SLI [06:03] 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] yeah - stuff 4 of those bad boys in a box and it'll heat the room in winter :-) [06:04] 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] 4 would be overkill but of course I would get plenty of cooling before doing it === David1977 is now known as Guest43472 === Yukkii is now known as oujo-sama-san-ku === oujo-sama-san-ku is now known as Yukkii [08:58] Good morning.

[15:46] 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] xrandr shows both of the external displays connected and the values for each. [15:50] 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] VGA and internal both seem to work properly. [15:51] HDMI connected TV worked flawlessly until one connects the low-res VGA Display [15:51] any ideas? [15:52] the only idea i had until now was to reboot. [15:53] any display pros in here?
