| user|56109 | Hello. How do I dual boot kubuntu and windows 10? I have windows 10 as my primary os. I have partitioned the hard drive. Is there anything else or special I need to do? | 00:32 |

| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> hi! im new kubuntu and recently the font become blurry in the settings app(it's fine in dolphin). when I installed it, it was fine but suddenly become blurry. I tried changing the anti- aliasing it didn't work either. my laptop is Acer Aspire e5-575G. please help I couldn't find any solutions. | 06:51 |
| lordievader | Did you change the screenscaling? | 06:52 |
| lordievader | Or did you force a font DPI? | 06:53 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> Please I'm sorry I have to ask how do I change the screenscaling? yes I tried force font DPI 96 | 06:54 |
| lordievader | Does the blurring go away when the dpi is not forced? | 06:56 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> no it is the same before and after. | 06:56 |
| lordievader | Did you log out and login? | 07:01 |
| lordievader | These kind of setting might need that. | 07:01 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> you were right | 07:02 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> it is because I changed the scale | 07:03 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> I scaled it because everything was so small and I couldn't see | 07:04 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> please can you help me to scale it bigger with out blurring the font? | 07:05 |
| lordievader | Err, I have never done that. | 07:06 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> or is there a way to make things bigger without scaling? | 07:08 |
| lordievader | What version of Plasma5 are you running? | 07:08 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> im running kubuntu 16.10 | 07:12 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> im running plasma 5.7.5 | 07:15 |
| lordievader | Do you have backports enabled? This might have improved in newer versions. | 07:18 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> I'm sorry I new to this and I don't know about that how do I check if it's enabled or not? | 07:20 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | benvantende was removed by: benvantende | 07:20 |
| lordievader | If you don't know how, you probably didn't ;) | 07:21 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> yes I think so too! | 07:21 |
| lordievader | In a terminal run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 07:21 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> it's running | 07:23 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> ok it's done | 07:57 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> should I restart ? | 07:57 |
| lordievader | Yes | 07:58 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> ok! | 07:58 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> I tried scaling again it's till there | 08:06 |
| lordievader | Hmm :( | 08:13 |
| lordievader | Does it also happen when you don't do the scaling but the forcing of a DPI? | 08:13 |
| lordievader | Font DPI that is. | 08:13 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> hmm! let me try! | 08:14 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> yes it works! | 08:18 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> thank | 08:18 |
| lordievader | Good to hear. | 08:18 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> thank you so much for your help! | 08:19 |
| lordievader | No problem. | 08:24 |

| diogenes_ | radeon? | 10:17 |
| Guest73871 | No, nvidia | 10:17 |
| diogenes_ | lenovo? | 10:18 |
| Guest73871 | yup | 10:21 |
| diogenes_ | useless | 10:21 |
| diogenes_ | garbage | 10:21 |
| Guest73871 | will it resolve if I install it? | 10:21 |
| Guest73871 | because im running the live version | 10:21 |
| diogenes_ | any pc except lenovo | 10:22 |
| Guest73871 | even thinkpad? :( | 10:22 |
| diogenes_ | if it's new then ask for refund | 10:22 |
| Guest73871 | no, its from 2014 | 10:23 |
| diogenes_ | inm thinkpad is ok, lenovo rebrand the most crappy thing | 10:23 |
| diogenes_ | ibm* | 10:24 |
| Guest73871 | so in conclusion, any KDE will not work? Even Neon or Mint? | 10:24 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu or opensuse xfce would | 10:25 |
| Guest73871 | no, I mean KDE. Not other DEs | 10:27 |
| diogenes_ | try solydk | 10:27 |
| diogenes_ | it uses kde4 | 10:27 |
| Guest73871 | This is so sad. I want Plasma 5... but OK :\ | 10:30 |
| diogenes_ | trust me, you'll be pleased with 4 much more than with buggy 5 | 10:32 |
| diogenes_ | and besides | 10:33 |
| diogenes_ | solydk is semir-olling | 10:33 |
| Guest73871 | I think I will stick with Zorin 12 until they fix the KDE 5 problem. | 10:34 |
| Herebord | Where can I add additional keyboard layouts? I really can't find the settings, I already tried system settings -> regional and system settings -> input | 10:34 |
| diogenes_ | Herebord, type keyboard | 10:36 |
| Herebord | diogenes_, there is only: Hardware, Belegungen and Erweitert | 10:37 |
| Herebord | dioegenes_, lol, ok, found it | 10:38 |
| diogenes_ | Herebord, :) | 10:39 |
| Herebord | diogenes_, it's so stupid, I should change the language to English, I'm a native German speaker, but I better understand English on the computer. The most translations are crap, lost 10mins lol | 10:39 |
| diogenes_ | Herebord, ja, naturelich | 10:40 |
| Herebord | diogenes_, :> | 10:40 |

| Deeno | Is there a way to directly go into linux boot mode | 14:54 |
| lordievader | Linux boot mode? What do you mean with that? | 14:55 |
| Deeno | I don't mean grub. I mean command line only mode. | 14:56 |
| Deeno | I need to repartition there. :( | 14:56 |
| Deeno | I have a solid state drive. Is it permanently damaged? Does SSDs have EPROMs? | 14:58 |
| Deeno | PROMs probably for short. | 14:58 |
| Deeno | It is a hardware question. | 14:58 |

| Trioxin | Here are some bugs I've noticed in Kubuntu: https://hastebin.com/qolucupiyo.sql . Guess I'll have to go report them and dump all kinds of stuff. | 16:37 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> hi! was here early about about problem and now I have encounter another. I new this! my problem now is that suddenly after a shutdown and power on all the animation stopped working and has become so laggy I checked if I disable animation or not, it's enabled. tried changing my graphic drives to X Server from NVIDIA (recommend is NVIDIA) can any one please help me? | 16:45 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> PS when I try switch back to NVIDIA driver it fails | 16:46 |
| Trioxin | is it a bad idea to enable the backports repo to get a more current version of KDE? | 16:53 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Chamara Abeysekara> I already did that | 16:55 |

| northernGuy | hi | 20:18 |
| deeno | I am trying to fix the partition table of my Solid State Drive. I have lost its capacity with multiple installations. | 22:25 |
| Dragnslcr | deeno- are you use the KDE Partition Manager? | 22:38 |
| Dragnslcr | Er, using | 22:38 |
| deeno | I used it. | 22:43 |
| deeno | yes. | 22:43 |
| Dragnslcr | So what exactly is the problem that you're having? | 22:46 |
| deeno | Partition table is bad. I have lost space. | 22:49 |
| deeno | are you going to deny everything or have me wait? | 22:50 |
| Dragnslcr | If the partition table is corrupted, you'll probably have to create a new one. Remember that you'll lose data if you do that. | 23:03 |
| Dragnslcr | If there was data on the disk, then you might be able to repair the partition table instead | 23:04 |
| Salo187 | Hi guys | 23:04 |
| Salo187 | Is it normal not finding the "try without installing" on the grub menu? I was used to that on ubuntu | 23:04 |
| Dragnslcr | On the Kubuntu live CD? | 23:05 |
| Salo187 | ya, on a pen drive made with unetbootin | 23:05 |
| Salo187 | with the 16 LTS iso | 23:06 |
| OerHeks | not in grub, it should after boot | 23:07 |
| Salo187 | only option is to start kubuntu, which btw doesn't start at all | 23:07 |
| OerHeks | * after country/keyboard iirc | 23:07 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't think the Kubuntu live CD has a "just install" mode anymore | 23:08 |
| Dragnslcr | You boot the live CD to the desktop, and there's an icon there to start the installer | 23:09 |
| Salo187 | how's that? | 23:10 |
| Salo187 | so I made the usb, booted to grub menu, and got 3 choices | 23:11 |
| Salo187 | Start kubuntu / OEM install / Check disk for errors | 23:11 |
| Salo187 | and the start kubuntu (which I chose but not sure if it was for an installer or for testing w/o install) didn't work | 23:12 |
| Salo187 | thing is tried to install KDE over my ubuntu and it got messed up | 23:12 |
| === fred is now known as Guest23927 | ||
| Salo187 | and now all I wanted was to fresh clean install kubuntu there | 23:13 |
| === Guest23927 is now known as fred_ | ||
| === fred_ is now known as fred_666 | ||
| Dragnslcr | You'll need to be more specific than just saying it doesn't work | 23:16 |
| Salo187 | sorry | 23:17 |
| Salo187 | so i press enter and it just freezes | 23:18 |
| Salo187 | no input on screen | 23:18 |
| Salo187 | not even logo | 23:18 |
| Salo187 | no disk or cpu activity | 23:18 |
| Salo187 | my pc always ran ubuntu 16 fllawlessly | 23:19 |
| Salo187 | msi z170 Motherboard, intel cpu 6600, nvidia 970 gpu | 23:20 |
| Salo187 | already tried to redo the usb | 23:23 |
| Salo187 | fat, exFat, went the same | 23:23 |
| Dragnslcr | My first guess is usually a video driver issue | 23:23 |
| Dragnslcr | I haven't used nVidia or AMD/ATI cards for years, though, so I can't help much | 23:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Which version of Kubuntu are you trying to install? | 23:24 |
| Salo187 | kubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:25 |
| Salo187 | in ubuntu the gpu works fine | 23:26 |
| Salo187 | both with the default open driver and the proprietary | 23:26 |
| Dragnslcr | Weird | 23:27 |
| Dragnslcr | Might be worth trying 16.10 or even a 17.04 beta, just to see if they have the same problem | 23:27 |
| Salo187 | ok will try | 23:29 |
| Dragnslcr | A quick Google search brings up a few pages about using the nomodeset kernel option | 23:31 |
