[03:10] <sintre> you could shrink c partition , leaving unallocated space , and use that to install
[03:15] <sintre> get t live enviroment
[03:16] <sintre> to live envirmoent and use  kde partition manager to check if its there
[03:20] <sintre> use the guided  setup should use unallocated space
[03:20] <sintre> that looks like manual set up of partitions
[03:21] <sintre> a option a couple clicks backwards
[03:24] <sintre> afterwards you can take some of that space btw
[03:24] <sintre> sda4 435 gb lol
[03:24] <sintre> and use it for another install or storage partition
[03:29] <sintre> also keep in mind kubuntu will instal a bootloader that will give you the option of booting it or windows
[03:30] <sintre> well not sure what to say to you , but if your using unallocated space that data is already gone
[03:30] <sintre> you need to shrink something
[03:30] <sintre> you got plenty of space there
[03:30] <sintre> dont tell me you have 400 gigs of mp3's
[03:30] <sintre> :)
[03:31] <sintre> well back that up to external if you NEED kubuntu then
[03:32] <sintre> aint gonna mess with this then to much more , i dont want to be responsible for you losing your stuff
[03:32] <sintre> but BACK it all up then you wont have to worry
[04:10] <ryzen3> hello
[04:10] <ryzen3> linux noob looking for help for a sec
[04:20] <sintre> what do you need help with
[07:52] <bschindler> Hi, since this morning, I'm getting a VFS: unable to mount root fs error on my kubuntu lts installation. I just booted using a usb drive and the partition still seems intact. Is there anything I could check to find out what went wrong?
[07:53] <hateball> bschindler: did you run fsck when you livebooted?
[07:53] <bschindler> hateball: when booted from usb?
[07:53] <hateball> bschindler: yes
[07:54] <bschindler> no,  I didnät
[07:54] <hateball> run fsck against your hdd/ssd partitions, make sure they are 100% alright
[07:55] <hateball> bschindler: and if that checks out, run "sudo blkid" and make sure your partitions UUID correspond with the entries in /etc/fstab
[07:55] <hateball> that's off the top of my head, things to test
[07:57] <bschindler> hateball: both looks fine. fsck ran through (was basically instant) and UUID matches
[07:57] <bschindler> lemme try to reboot
[07:58] <bschindler> and grub menu uuid (kernel command line) also looks good
[08:00] <bschindler> still unable to bood
[08:08] <hateball> bschindler: is it some exotic setup with encryption and stuff?
[08:08] <hateball> or just a simple single boot with ext*
[08:10] <bschindler> hateball: simple ext4
[09:24] <user|63124> Hello dear friends
[10:09] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:10] <manijha> valorie: Hello
[13:18] <bschindler> Hi - so it seems an update to the kernel was messed up  in my ubuntu LTS. I am still able to boot 4.4.0-65, but 4.4.0-66 fails to boot because the initrd image is missing (and may be more is wrong, I don't know). Is there a way to completely reinstall that kernel to make sure the config is good?
[13:26] <lordievader> bschindler: Why not recreate the initrd with 'sudo update-initrd'?
[13:26] <lordievader> !info update-initrd
[13:26] <lordievader> (Or at least I thought the util was called that way)
[13:27] <bschindler> lordievader: I did that, but the machine won't boot nonetheless. May be the nvidia-driver needs updating as well
[13:27] <bschindler> but it at least does not crash with a VFS unable to mount root erro
[13:28] <bschindler> this is why I'd liked to completely reinstall that kernel so that the full update script gets executed
[13:30] <lordievader> Are you dropped to a shell or does it panic?
[13:30] <bschindler> blank screen
[13:33] <lordievader> No way of mounting the root manually?
[13:33] <bschindler> with recovery mode probably. But that won't give me a log with the problem
[13:33] <bschindler> I can boot the 65 kernel, so I'm able to boot the machine which is a start
[13:34] <bschindler> damn, have to go to a meeting
[13:54] <lordievader> Well, what I am trying to say is, usually you get some kind of a limited shell to find out what the problem is. E.g. answer the question why it cannot find the root fs.
[13:54] <lordievader> bschindler: ^
[14:19] <ng_007> Hello everybody. Does exists equalivent of KDEConnect packet for linux mint cinnamon?
[14:30] <hateball> ng_007: you should be able to run kdeconnect fine regardless of DE
[15:11] <Simonious> I've got a pile of files named one_two<other stuff not to be changed> and I want them named OneTwo<not to be changed> - been fidding with mv and rename, but no luck so far, I know there is a regx way to do this, what is it?
[15:31] <EllaKappa> Hello. I need to ask you how to fix my Programe Software center. I think it is called Muon. It used to be Muon. The problem is Muon doesn't give any software
[15:31] <hateball> EllaKappa: is it a fresh install?
[15:32] <hateball> EllaKappa: at any rate, make sure you're fully updated with "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
[15:32] <EllaKappa> well not really. I think I have a stable release 16.04
[15:34] <EllaKappa> I used "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[15:35] <EllaKappa> I'll try your command lines hateball cause it's a little different
[15:35] <hateball> hmmm, then I dont know what could be broken with Discover
[15:35] <hateball> EllaKappa: well it shouldnt really matter, but sure
[15:36] <hateball> And I have to leave now, so hopefully someone else will be able to help you if updating and rebooting doesnt magically fix it
[15:37] <EllaKappa> OK. Thank you
[15:39] <EllaKappa> I love my Kubuntu. It needs to work. I really need it to work. I need Muon to show me software I can install
[15:47] <momken_> EllaKappa: In my kubuntu 16.04 there is no muon, although you can install it with "sudo apt install muon"
[15:48] <momken_> But I don't recommend you to use it. The best way is using command line, e.g. apt, aptitude or apt-cache
[15:48] <EllaKappa> I think it's Software Center then
[15:49] <momken_> EllaKappa:  If you want a beautiful GUI app you can also try AppGrid which is proprietary
[15:50] <momken_> Instructions in this page work well for automatic download/install/update of AppGrid: http://linuxdaddy.com/blog/install-appgrid-on-ubuntu/
[15:51] <EllaKappa> OK momken_ I'll try it. thank you
[15:51] <lordievader> EllaKappa: Is the package 'muon' installed? Else it might be the Ubuntu Software Center.
[15:52] <momken_> lordievader: It is not installed by defualt. I have never used muon either
[15:52] <momken_> In Kubuntu 16.04, the app "discover" is default Software Center
[15:54] <EllaKappa> lordievader I have Ubuntu Software Center. But I would like to use Kubuntu's Software Center. I used to have it functional. Now it just opens but shows no software to download at all
[15:54] <momken_> Ubuntu Software Center is deprecated as long as I know and Ubuntu uses Gnome Software Center itself
[15:55] <EllaKappa> I can open it but doesn't show me any software to download. It's empty
[15:55] <momken_> EllaKappa: As I said the default Kubuntu's software center now is named discover
[15:55] <lordievader> Seems my info is outdated a bit ;) I'll keep my mouth shut.
[15:56] <momken_> EllaKappa: I think you should enter "sudo apt update" after installation of kubuntu. It gets list of software from the internet
[15:56] <momken_> In a terminal of course
[15:56] <EllaKappa> Oh... Well thank U momken_ I'll play around with this one a little bit.
[15:57] <momken_> Ok, I am here if you need
[16:38] <onca> I have ubuntu running in a vbox vm and can't seem to get the clock to show the correct time.
