[00:32] <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?

[06:51] <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.
[06:52] <lordievader> Did you change the screenscaling?
[06:53] <lordievader> Or did you force a font DPI?
[06:54] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> Please I'm sorry I have to ask how do I change the screenscaling? yes I tried force font DPI 96
[06:56] <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.
[07:01] <lordievader> Did you log out and login?
[07:01] <lordievader> These kind of setting might need that.
[07:02] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> you were right
[07:03] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> it is because  I changed the scale
[07:04] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> I scaled it because everything was so small and I couldn't see
[07:05] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> please can you help me to scale it bigger with out blurring the font?
[07:06] <lordievader> Err, I have never done that.
[07:08] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> or is there a way to make things bigger without scaling?
[07:08] <lordievader> What version of Plasma5 are you running?
[07:12] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> im running kubuntu 16.10
[07:15] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> im running plasma 5.7.5
[07:18] <lordievader> Do you have backports enabled? This might have improved in newer versions.
[07:20] <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?

[07:21] <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
[07:23] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> it's running
[07:57] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> ok it's done
[07:57] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> should I restart ?
[07:58] <lordievader> Yes
[07:58] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> ok!
[08:06] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> I tried scaling again it's till there
[08:13] <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.
[08:14] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> hmm! let me try!
[08:18] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> yes it works!
[08:18] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> thank
[08:18] <lordievader> Good to hear.
[08:19] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> thank you so much for your help!
[08:24] <lordievader> No problem.
[10:15] <Guest73871> hi
[10:15] <Guest73871> noob here
[10:15] <diogenes_> hi noob
[10:15] <Guest73871> booted up Kubuntu, no desktop only taskbar
[10:15] <Guest73871> live boot of course
[10:17] <diogenes_> radeon?
[10:17] <Guest73871> No, nvidia
[10:18] <diogenes_> lenovo?
[10:21] <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
[10:22] <diogenes_> any pc except lenovo
[10:22] <Guest73871> even thinkpad? :(
[10:22] <diogenes_> if it's new then ask for refund
[10:23] <Guest73871> no, its from 2014
[10:23] <diogenes_> inm thinkpad is ok, lenovo rebrand the most crappy thing
[10:24] <diogenes_> ibm*
[10:24] <Guest73871> so in conclusion, any KDE will not work? Even Neon or Mint?
[10:25] <diogenes_> xubuntu or opensuse xfce would
[10:27] <Guest73871> no, I mean KDE. Not other DEs
[10:27] <diogenes_> try solydk
[10:27] <diogenes_> it uses kde4
[10:30] <Guest73871> This is so sad. I want Plasma 5... but OK :\
[10:32] <diogenes_> trust me, you'll be pleased with 4 much more than with buggy 5
[10:33] <diogenes_> and besides
[10:33] <diogenes_> solydk is semir-olling
[10:34] <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
[10:36] <diogenes_> Herebord, type keyboard
[10:37] <Herebord> diogenes_, there is only: Hardware, Belegungen and Erweitert
[10:38] <Herebord> dioegenes_, lol, ok, found it
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <diogenes_> Herebord, ja, naturelich
[10:40] <Herebord> diogenes_, :>
[12:11] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[14:54] <Deeno> Is there a way to directly go into linux boot mode
[14:55] <lordievader> Linux boot mode? What do you mean with that?
[14:56] <Deeno> I don't mean grub. I mean command line only mode.
[14:56] <Deeno> I need to repartition there. :(
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <Deeno> Thank you for your time.
[15:10] <lordievader> Deeno: Are you looking for a text mode or something?
[15:10]  * lordievader doesn't fully understand.
[15:32] <diogenes_> lordievader, try ctrl+alt+f1 or f2
[16:37] <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.
[16:45] <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?
[16:46] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> PS when I try switch back to NVIDIA driver it fails
[16:53] <Trioxin> is it a bad idea to enable the backports repo to get a more current version of KDE?
[16:55] <IrcsomeBot1> <Chamara Abeysekara> I already did that
[20:18] <northernGuy> hi
[22:25] <deeno> I am trying to fix the partition table of my Solid State Drive. I have lost its capacity with multiple installations.
[22:38] <Dragnslcr> deeno- are you use the KDE Partition Manager?
[22:38] <Dragnslcr> Er, using
[22:43] <deeno> I used it.
[22:43] <deeno> yes.
[22:46] <Dragnslcr> So what exactly is the problem that you're having?
[22:49] <deeno> Partition table is bad. I have lost space.
[22:50] <deeno> are you going to deny everything or have me wait?
[23:03] <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.
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <Dragnslcr> On the Kubuntu live CD?
[23:05] <Salo187> ya, on a pen drive made with unetbootin
[23:06] <Salo187> with the 16 LTS iso
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <Dragnslcr> I don't think the Kubuntu live CD has a "just install" mode anymore
[23:09] <Dragnslcr> You boot the live CD to the desktop, and there's an icon there to start the installer
[23:10] <Salo187> how's that?
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <Salo187> and now all I wanted was to fresh clean install kubuntu there
[23:16] <Dragnslcr> You'll need to be more specific than just saying it doesn't work
[23:17] <Salo187> sorry
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <Salo187> my pc always ran ubuntu 16 fllawlessly
[23:20] <Salo187> msi z170 Motherboard, intel cpu 6600, nvidia 970 gpu
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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?
[23:25] <Salo187> kubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
[23:26] <Salo187> in ubuntu the gpu works fine
[23:26] <Salo187> both with the default open driver and the proprietary
[23:27] <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
[23:29] <Salo187> ok will try
[23:31] <Dragnslcr> A quick Google search brings up a few pages about using the nomodeset kernel option
