roeyb1Hey, I was trying to install Kubuntu and set up multiple os encryption on the same drive01:06
roeyb1everything is set up properly with different boot partitions, encrypted root partitions, etc01:07
roeyb1but when I try to finalize the install using /dev/sda for the bootloader install, grub gives me an error01:07
roeyb1should I be installing to sda or the option that is defaulted for me, which is /dev/dm-0? I've never heard of this device before so I'd assume it's probably not what I'm looking for01:08
kurumin:)01:44
roeyb1sovled by including an efi partition01:50

enkeyzso, windows looks like arc-theme15:09
R13oseOkay but I want one that looks nothing like that15:09

* BluesKaj looks for something...there's always 'something" :-)15:19
R13oseI mean to radically change the appearance of kubuntu15:22
BluesKajR13ose,  radically in what sense? themes, colours, icons etc ...they're all in system settings15:24

dbpoiHello!18:00

BluesKaj!ask | ksaver18:02

* BluesKaj shrugs, well if you don't to give details about your issue then don't expect much help18:04
BluesKajwant18:04
dbpoiWell I have a question. How does one change the bright, bright blue on the login screen? I've found images on the internet where the login screen theme is an option in System settings > Workspace theme18:05
dbpoihttp://i.imgur.com/L5Euj7rl.png18:05
dbpoiLike there.18:05
ksaverafter I finished the installation I run "prepare for shipping" and reboot, then next boot I followed the wizard to create a new user and all went well, but when I booted next time a black screen appeared18:06
dbpoiBut for me it's not avaliable. https://kek.gg/i/335pWX.png18:06
ksaverI can login with my user through the terminal but the graphic environment doesn't appear anymore18:07
BluesKajdbpoi,  yeah , some won' download . i just chose a fav pic from my pic folder for the login image18:07
BluesKajksaver,  prepare for shipping? as for the terminal login use nano to edit your /etc/defualt/grub and replace the quiet splash with nomodest keeping the quotes, save and exit , then sudo update-grub and reboot18:11
BluesKajcorrection:  /etc/default/grub18:12
dbpoiHow would one go about choosing a picture for the login image then?18:12
dbpoiLike, I already have an image but how does one set it?18:13
BluesKajdbpoi,  system settings>startup&shutdown>login screen>background (on the right)m, click on the thembnail choose 'load from file'18:16
dbpoiThank you.18:16
dbpoiGheez18:16
dbpoiI didn't expect it to be in there but I guess it's not the workspace so.18:16
BluesKajnavigate to the pic want in whatever folder it's located18:16
BluesKajwanted18:17
ksaverBluesKaj, thanks for your answer but I don't understand what you mean, I don't have any problem with grub and terminal login, the problem is with KDE18:18
BluesKajksaver,  think it's graphics, just try the nomodeset to get to a desktop18:19
dbpoinomodeset actually helped me yesterday because my graphics card was a little too new. \o/18:19
BluesKajyup18:19
=== z4ki is now known as zaki
ksaverBluesKaj, I'll try it but if it is an unknown graphics card error I find it puzzling because with the temporary-oem user created after the oem installation the desktop appeared18:23
BluesKajdbpoi,  then once you have a desktop you can install recommended drivers/graphics driver in kmenu>system settings >driver manager18:23
dbpoiYeah, I got that all down thankfully.18:24
BluesKajksaver,  why temporary-oem user?18:24
=== himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf
ksaverBluesKaj, the oem installation creates a temporary-oem user which is used IMO for shipping the same OS configuration in batch to a set of computers, when you finish the configuration then you run: oem-config command (which has the icon "prepare for shipping" in the desktop), reboots and then creates your user with your personal details and remove the temporary-oem user18:28
=== himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf
BluesKajksaver, I have no experience with the oem installation, but I do think the machine you are trying top boot has a graphics issue due to the behaviour you described and one of easiest "workarounds" is the nomodeset substitute for "quiet splash" in grub to at least get a working desktop, then one can install the needed driver at that point, usually after updating and upgrading first18:33
ksaverBluesKaj, ok thanks, I'll let you know in a moment if your suggestion works18:35

kubuntedwhat have you done with linux? everything in this kubuntu slow(!) like it's  xenix on a 35 years old hardware. Apps freeze ( firefox the worst), desktop freezes every few minutes...oh and it's not just the desktop, switch to VC shows sloooooow login process ( 5-60+ seconds). In the 1990s linux was promising...now it's weirder and weirder21:29
kubuntedkubuntu is one of the worst tried21:29
kubuntedboggles the mind how once a promising OS has turned into ...who knows what...weird and weirder21:30
kubuntedFirefox is screwed ok, desktop is screwed ...odd but happens...but how do you manage to slow down the underlying components?21:32
valoriekubunted: sorry you are having a bad experience21:32
valorieI've had the opposite -- keeps getting better21:32
valorieand faster21:32
kubuntedvalorie:  which version?21:32
valorieI'm running 17.04, the last release21:32
valoriewith backports21:32
kubuntedbetter?21:33

valorieI have 16.04, the LTS on my travel laptop21:33
valoriealso with backports21:33
valorieit's working great21:33
kubuntedI've had an awful fedora once or twice then a better one showed up, may be this too21:33
kubuntedwhere are checksums for the latest?21:37
