[00:02] <kubuntu_> where is the help channel?
[00:08] <kubuntu> where is the help channel?
[00:09] <Guest72500> where is the help channel
[00:11] <fuze> Guest72500: whats a help channel
[00:11] <Guest72500> on linux mint i was able to automatically join a channel for linux help, but i can't find it on this kubuntu live disk
[00:12] <fuze> Guest72500: are you looking for an irc channel?
[00:12] <Guest72500> i'm not sure what it's called. i'm on konversation
[00:13] <fuze> and you need help?
[00:13] <Guest72500> yes
[00:13] <fuze> with kubuntu?
[00:13] <Guest72500> sort of, i'm on a kubuntu live disk. i had mint installed on an HDD but formatted the HDD. I have windows on my main SDD, but now when I boot it sends me to grub rescue and I can't get on windows
[00:15] <Guest72500> i've tried bootrepair and trying fixboot and fixmbr in the windows cmd didnt work either
[00:15] <fuze> just for future reference in IRC channels (internet relay chat), do not ask if you can get help or ask if you can ask a question, just ask the question. konversation is an irc client that allows you to connect to channels
[00:15] <Guest72500> alright
[00:15] <fuze> install gparted
[00:16] <fuze> also what does grub rescue say?
[00:16] <fuze> any error messages?
[00:16] <Guest72500> yeah it says something about a magic elf. seriously
[00:16] <Guest72500> i don't know what it means
[00:17] <fuze> reboot to grub rescue and write down or take a picture of it and then come back with the error message
[00:17] <Guest72500> actually sorry about that, i did manage to get past grub rescue and the grub screen now just lists linux mint which doesn't exist anymore as i formatted it
[00:17] <Guest72500> and if i select it i get a black screen
[00:18] <Guest72500> like if i could just get windows onto grub or get back to the windows boot loader instead of grub that would be great
[00:19] <fuze> join #grub
[00:19] <fuze> they can help you better
[00:19] <Guest72500> alright
[00:19] <Guest72500> thanks
[00:20] <fuze> Guest72500: are you trying to install kubuntu or just have a windows only pc?
[00:21] <fuze> ill talk in #grub
[00:21] <Guest72500> i wanted to install kubuntu but i was having problems with it so i want to go back to windows
[00:21] <Guest72500> i am in #grub now
[00:22] <[Relic]> any ideas why /sbin/init doesn't exist on a usb live iso when trying to boot?  Is it a read write problem?
[00:23] <[Relic]> cause I can't believe that on all 3 usb drives I have tried 25 disk errors occur for no reason from a k17.04 iso with proper md5
[06:36] <lordievader> Good morning
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:02] <DrinfeldShtuka>  Was muss man im BIOS/UEFI vom Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 einstellen, wenn man den PC mit einem Ryzen 5 zum ersten Mal startet?
[13:06] <lordievader> !german | DrinfeldShtuka
[13:08] <DrinfeldShtuka> what UEFI settings do I have to make for a Ryzen 5 on a Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3?
[17:37] <therealredphanto> i am about to add a new hard drive to my kubuntu system. how can i prepare it for extending my kubuntu system storage as well as installing a dual boot windows? Is this possible to do on 1 hdd
[20:04] <jtatria> hello folks! Where should one go to drive maintainer's atention to a bug report?
[20:11] <BluesKaj> !launchpad
[20:11] <BluesKaj> jtatria,^
[20:19] <jtatria> BluesKaj: thanks, I am familiar with launchpad. The question was more in the line of "i have a bug, I think i have a solution, how do i get the maintainer's attention to it".
[20:19] <jtatria> BluesKaj: this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1684108
[20:20] <jtatria> for which I just added a comment describing a fix, but lack the necessary knowledsge about kde pacakging to e.g. submit a patch myself.
[21:16] <gmanxp> anyone with any idea of how to install kubuntu in a dual boot situation with windows 10 on a new dell inspiron laptop with uefi firmware?
[21:16] <gmanxp> installation fails on installing grub
[22:01] <Guest58694> i just added a HDD to my kubuntu system and now my system won't boot up. i tried boot-repair but i'm still getting stuck at the blue splash screen
[22:02] <Guest58694> I took off quiet splash and i'm getting a message about lvmetad failing to connect
[22:02] <Guest58694> can anyone please help me ? I would prefer if i didn't have to wipe my entire system
[22:13] <redphant23> can anyone please help me rescue my system i just installed a new hard drive now kubuntu won't make it to the login screen
[22:25] <jtatria> redphant23 what exactly happens when you boot? if you can make it to grub, then you should be able to boot manually telling grub where to find the kernel
[22:26] <redphant23> i just get to the splash screen
[22:26] <redphant23> and it stalls there. i can get to grub and choose the kernel
[22:26] <redphant23> i can even choose older kernels, but i still stall at the logo screen
[22:26] <redphant23> right now im just installing kubuntu on a different hard drive
[22:26] <jtatria> mmm, that is very weird
[22:26] <jtatria> redphatn23 are you able to boot into rescue mode?
[22:26] <redphant23> i tried recovery mode and did all of those options
[22:27] <redphant23> but still the same result
[22:28] <redphant23> Right now i'm on the liveusb, reinstalling Kubuntu on some free space on a different hard drive .. but then i lost power for a second so I bet that is FUBAR
[22:29] <jtatria> redphant23 the only thing i can think of that would allow booting the kernel but not the rest of the system, is that there was some change in the way in which units are mounted that is preventing the session manager from starting.
[22:29] <jtatria> redphant23 but without snooping around on the live system, it's hard to tell.
[22:29] <redphant23> well when i plugged in my new hard drive it appears on gparted to have taken the place of my /dev/sba slot
[22:30] <redphant23> so maybe it re-ordered my drives
[22:30] <redphant23> but then boot-repair should fix that, no? which i ran twice
[22:30] <jtatria> redphant23 right, tha tis an option, but fstab doesnt use /dev nodes since a long time ago, it uses uuids
[22:30] <redphant23> i mean /dev/sda*
[22:30] <redphant23> i havent used fstab
[22:31] <jtatria> redphants23 i understand that the kernel uses fstab to mount  filesystems.
[22:31] <redphant23> my kubuntu install has the LVM flag- maybe this has something to do with it
[22:31] <redphant23> because its encrypted it can't boot into the login screen?
[22:31] <jtatria> redphant23 aaah no idea. i've never used LVM so i wouldn't know. maybe?
[22:32] <redphant23> My re-installation dialog is just spinning indefinitely. i think my power cut screwed that up. what should I do? :'(
[22:32] <jtatria> redphant23 right, normally if the session manager can't read and write to your home dir, the session startup will just freeze (i've seen this with e.g. a full hd). but i find it weird that adding a new harddrive foobared the mounting process so much...
[22:33] <jtatria> redphant23: first of all, choose which problem to solve, you seem to have a few :)
[22:34] <redphant23> yeah i have too many problems
[22:34] <redphant23> i feel like i screwed things up so bad i need to wipe and start over which absolutely sucks
[22:34] <jtatria> redphant23 i would start by trying to fix the installed system... that is probably a matter of figuring out where the drives are located now from a recovery session. but the details depend a lot on your local setup, and i have no exerience with LVM.
[22:35] <jtatria> yeah well, that is always an option if you have user data backed up :(
[22:35] <redphant23> i'm a big newb if you couldn't tell.
[22:35] <jtatria> sorry  i can't help. good luck!
[22:35] <redphant23> lol thanks for the moral support
[22:35] <jtatria> haha, we all went torugh variations of that in our day :)
[22:37] <jtatria> redphant23 i think the problem lies in LVM. probably adding the extra HD broke the LVM configuration, and I bet you are mounting /home from the lvm volume, which would explain why the kernel boots, but the session manager hangs.
[23:12] <redphantom> how can i access a LVM encrypted partition
[23:12] <[Relic]> even kernel panics from a different download on another computer
[23:12] <redphantom> due to extenuating circumstances i had to reinstall kubuntu on a new hard drive i added in to my system, so now I can log in and see my original Kubuntu installation but I cannot copy any files from it
[23:17] <[Relic]> I can't even get the lastest live 17.04 to boot here
[23:26] <[Relic]> kernel panics after loking for /sbin/init which it can't find
[23:34] <redphantom> does anyone have any tips for retrieving data from a lvm encrypted drive
