| Vatinas | Hi there :) | 08:56 |
| winsux | does someone have experience with pci passthrough in qemu + kvm? | 09:31 |
| winsux | just to be sure, if your cpu does not support vt-d but does support vt-x is it still possible to do vga pci passthrough with kvm or do i need to use xen? | 09:40 |

| xubuntu00w | Hi ! I have a questions about installing Xubuntu... I have a laptop with windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.14 LTS... I will like to install alongside Xubuntu... do I need to create a /, /home and a swap partition ?? | 20:24 |
| xubuntu00w | for xubuntu' | 20:25 |
| xubuntu00w | ?? | 20:25 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, that's one of the options, yes | 20:26 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, that way you'll be able to wipe out / but keep your personal files on /home | 20:26 |
| knome | alternatively, if you don't mind wiping out personal data if you for some reason want to reinstall the system, you can create / and swap (in that case /home is stored under the / partition) | 20:27 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome... ok ! and about the swap partition.. do I need to create another one if I already have one with Ubuntu?? | 20:28 |
| knome | no, but you should make sure the installer uses that as swap space | 20:29 |
| knome | the question remains: why do you want to have a separate xubuntu installation? | 20:29 |
| knome | you could just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and run it from the ubuntu partitions | 20:30 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome.. and how to do it to make sure the installer uses it as swap space for xubuntu either? | 20:30 |
| xubuntu00w | i want to try the both... ubuntu and xubuntu and will decide later which one I will use !! | 20:31 |
| knome | i don't remember the exact steps, but when you go to the advanced partitioning tool, you'll notice it | 20:31 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, you can try them both from the same partitions | 20:31 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, just install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and from the login screen, select the "xubuntu" session | 20:32 |
| xubuntu00w | if I dont make any mistake, if I install teh xubuntu-desktop metapackage I will also have sometimes 2 times the same softwares/applications or a software I dont want to use like abiword for example.. | 20:34 |
| knome | no. | 20:35 |
| knome | software from the repositories is installed at most once | 20:35 |
| knome | if you create new partitions, THEN you will have many packages in doubles between the partitions (and double the maintenance burden) | 20:36 |
| xubuntu00w | or gnumeric... | 20:36 |
| knome | you can remove software you do not want/need | 20:39 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome.. last question.. I want to create a common partition to save some files that I will be be able to use with windows, ubuntu and xubuntu.. | 20:42 |
| xubuntu00w | the partitio should be ext4 and logical? | 20:43 |
| knome | if you are looking to do that, i would simply just install the metapackage | 20:43 |
| knome | there isn't much reason to overcomplicate this, especially if you just want to "try it out" | 20:44 |
| knome | if you need to read the partition with windows, then you'll likely want fat | 20:45 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome maybe you are right... and after i decided which distro I want to use I can remove the other one.. | 20:45 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, yes, or at that point, reinstall if you feel like you've gathered too much clutter | 20:45 |
| knome | xubuntu uses the ubuntu core, so there is a LOT of overlap | 20:46 |
| xubuntu00w | ok | 20:47 |
| xubuntu00w | I will try your solution... | 20:47 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome... any experience about encryption?? | 20:47 |
| xubuntu00w | full encryption? | 20:47 |
| knome | xubuntu00w, whatever you fancy | 20:48 |
| xubuntu00w | :) | 20:48 |
| xubuntu00w | If I want a full encryption of my hard drive... and knowing I have windows 8.1 alongside ubuntu... any tips or things not to do to know? | 20:49 |
| knome | ubuntu installation will only encrypt ubuntu parititions... that said, i believe the partitions that you want to read with windows should be unencrypted, unless you have some software to unencrypt them in windows | 20:50 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome.. which means i cannot have a full encryption (windows+ubuntu) on my laptop? | 20:54 |
| knome | windows handles its own encryption | 20:55 |
| xubuntu00w | ok | 20:56 |
| xubuntu00w | not as simple as I was thinking... :( | 20:57 |
| koegs | "if" you have a modern ssd which can handle encryption itself, you are good to go :) | 20:59 |
| xubuntu00w | @koegs.. no I don't have SSD for the moment... | 21:02 |
| xubuntu00w | @knome... thanks a lot for the informations.. | 21:12 |
| BuddyButterfly | seems like xubuntu is not running correctly in kvm with spice. | 21:55 |
| BuddyButterfly | enabling spice scrambles desktop fonts and removed buttons. | 21:55 |
| BuddyButterfly | have tried it with xubuntu 15.04. Kubuntu 15.04 works, though. | 21:56 |
