KsChoiceHi there. I have a desktop with 3 ASUS VGA cards (VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)) 3 monitors, and Kubuntu 16.04. If I try to select the nvidia 340 driver, my system won't boot anymore, it seems I can only use nouvou driver, but with that at boot I do see the three monitors working, but as soon as login comes, only one is working. after login xrandr only recognizes one card, though lspci shows05:28
KsChoice the 3 cards.. Any idea how I can get the system to use the 3 monitors?05:28
KsChoiceSome further investigation in xorg log shows "/dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied" and same for card2.. Google wasn't too helpful yet with the exception of some specific projects that were not X.. Anybody here who might have an idea?05:54
hateballKsChoice: what seems to be the question? I only saw your last line06:19

PhoenixzThat was my original message :)06:19
hateballah06:21
hateballPhoenixz: Sorry I don't know much about older devices06:21
hateballor the 340 driver rather06:22
hateball340 should be supported for that card tho06:22
Phoenixzhateball: older devices? you mean the video cards?06:22
hateballyea06:22
Phoenixzhateball: well, the 340 completely messes up.. nouveau doesn't do anything with the cards because of that error.. Now trying the 304 driver06:23
hateballnVidia considers anything that runs 340 at most as legacy06:23
hateballPhoenixz: I dunno if you would have any luck using a PPA for newer MESA (nouveau)06:23
Phoenixzhateball: I'll try that as well..06:24
hateballIf you feel adventerous you can use this unsupported PPA https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers06:24
hateball!ppa06:24
ubottuA Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge06:24
Phoenixzhateball: I hate that linux still has such shoddy multimonitor support :(06:25
PhoenixzI'll take a look at that adventurous PPA as well06:25
Phoenixzsetup 304 driver, going to reboot, see if that works06:25
hateballPhoenixz: to make matters worse when it comes to multimonitor, you'll want to use kubuntu ppa to bring your plasma/qt up06:32
hateballas that in itself by default in 16.04 is terrible with multimonitor06:32
hateballIt's still not perfect for me, and I am using Intel driver where I have multimonitor06:32
KsChoiceAny hopes of this improving any day soon? Back with kubuntu 5 I setup a system with 5 video cards which required a lot of manual setup work, but it worked.. Now at 16, its still next near impossible to configure multiple monitors..06:37
hateballKsChoice: well, are you using kubuntu ppa?06:46
hateballplasma 5.8 brings a lot of fixes06:46
hateballbut there's stuff in Qt that needs fixing also, I am not sure if that is making it into 17.0406:46
hateballKsChoice: you could prod acheronuk or someone in #kubuntu-devel that might be in the know more than I :)06:47
tjaaltonhi, analitza autopkgtests are blocking mesa, has anyone had a look at them?07:11
IrcsomeBot<Valoriez> @tjdalton - try #kubuntu-devel07:40
MrokiiHello. Update Manager shows a strange bug for me. On my earlier Ubuntu-installation it showed a big area with a list of all currently downloading updates. But on Kubuntu, that area is only about two lines high (no matter how big the window is, the rest of the window below is just empty), so I only ever see one download at a time. I can scroll within this area though, to see the other downloads happening or08:04
Mrokiicompleted. But I can never see more than one download-entry.08:04

BlackKatMikeHi everybody. Sorry if I ask something that maybe has already been answered elsewhere, but I googling around and searching Kubuntuforums didn't help...08:47
BlackKatMikeI'm trying to install Xenial on a Virtualbox for a little test. I'm using the latest LTE amd64 image (16.04.2). I just double-checked the sha256 sum of the ISO and it matches...08:49
BlackKatMikeThe VM boots fine from the ISO, however once launching the installer I get stuck at the second installation screen (the one with checkmarks to download updates and install proprietary stuff): the "Continue" button is unclickable.08:50
BlackKatMikeI recall I already had this problem with a previous ISO (16.04 or 16.04.1 maybe?), but only in Virtualbox guests. I installed Xenial fine on my laptop.08:51
BlackKatMikeIn the end, for VMs I gave up last time and installed using the mini.iso (netinstall), and adding the Kubuntu desktop task afterwards.08:52
BlackKatMikeHowever here I am again: booting with a full-featured ISO in a Virtualbox guest seems to get stuck at that point. Some people tell the installer crash (it doesn't for me), some tell that something gets logged in /var/log, in a forum one guy recommended to create an empty partition table with gdisk before launching the installer.08:54
acheronukBlackKatMike: VBox default of a 8GB HD is too small. You need to increase that. 12GB may work, though I usually double it to 16GB to make sure.08:54
BlackKatMikeacheronuk: ok hold on, trying that...08:55
acheronukBlackKatMike: known bug in installer that it doesn't warn you. fixed in our development release, but needs to be tested more and then ported back to the next Xenial LTS release08:56
BlackKatMikeacheronuk: it works now with a 16GB VDI, indeed. Thank you! IMHO, there should be a warning about this bug in Xenial's release notes at least (or even on the download page). I really had a hard time figuring out what was wrong.09:05
BlackKatMikeI noticed there was an icon on the top of the installer window on the page where it got stuck... something like a red "battery" thing with something on it, can't recall. No tooltip to tell what it was all about. This time, with a bigger disk, it turned out to be a black checkmark.09:07
BlackKatMikeInstallation went fine. Thanks again acheronuk, bye!09:20
BluesKajHey folks09:33
user|6584Hey I just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 but recently read that this may be problematic. However I didn't notice any problems am I fucked?12:53
lordievaderuser|6584: Please watch your language. To answer your question, if you didn't notice any problems... you are all good, right?12:57
user|6584Hey sorry, I dont notice anything yeah but they recommend not to do it. If have several other pc's that need I need to upgrade now. Should I do a fresh install instead or risk it agian?12:59
lordievaderWho does not recommend it?12:59
user|6584It says on the site12:59
user|6584WARNING: LTS to LTS upgrade to Xerus is currently problematic and should not be attempted. Please install a fresh copy of 16.04 instead. To prevent messages about upgrading, change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal or Prompt=never in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.12:59
lordievaderInteresting... I guess that a fresh install is then, indeed, the better step.13:02
BluesKajuser|6584, can you post the url that has that warning?13:08

BluesKajuser|6584, think that's an old issue haven't seen that in ages13:10

hateballb2320x: a quick google suggests https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/location-guard/14:10

hateballI run chromium so I dont know14:11
b2320xok i just found a solution without having to install an addon ;)14:12

MrokiiHello. I've tried to compile an app from source and got this error 'Could NOT find XCB (missing: EVENT) (found version "1.11.1")'. Does anybody know if there is something else I have to install to solve this?15:43
BluesKajMrokii, which app?15:51
BluesKajMrokii, xcb is available in the repos15:52
MrokiiBluesKaj: https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock15:53
MrokiiBluesKaj: I think I have "resolved" the problem by installing various libxcb...dev-files.15:53
BluesKajMrokii, ok15:55
MrokiiNot very professional, but I couldn't find any obvious candidate so I tried to install all of them. :)15:56

vantablackHi! I need some help. Is this the right place to ask a question?21:08
vantablackI've been trying to switch from Linux Mint to Kubuntu while creating a new /home partition. Now, my laptop just boots into GRUB and I have no clue what to do next. During the installation I created two ext4 partitions selected one partition (the larger one) as the mount point for "/home" and the smaller one as the mount point for "/" then formatted21:10
vantablack both. Now, when I turn my laptop on, it just boots into GRUB. Can anybody point me in the right direction?21:10
