| Sam234 | I've seen before where you can load different drivers based on what gpu is detected. Ie nvidia drivers for nvidia gpu, amd drivers for amd gpu. I can't find any info on how to actually do it though. Does anyone have any info that might help? I'm working on creating live usb keys. | 00:46 |

| joe____ | hi there. i just installed KVIrc through the Software Center and it installed a huge ton of stuff (kde, qt...). Is there a way to uninstall all that again? i removed it with the software center, but all those extra stuff is still there | 19:25 |
| joe____ | I looked in the dpkg log, what was installed and it is way too much to remove everything by hand... :( | 19:26 |
| flocculant | joe____: done any installing since? did you have any kde apps installed before? | 19:33 |
| flocculant | also try sudo apt autoremove in a terminal - software centre is not at all good at removing klingons ... | 19:36 |
| joe____ | i just installed it, tried kvirc, then wanted to remove everthing. sadly autoremove doesn't help, it's all still here. didn't have any kde apps before | 19:37 |
| flocculant | ok - hang on | 19:38 |
| joe____ | well atleast i learned to always use apt to install stuff, so you can see beforehand what a huge mess you're installing | 19:39 |
| flocculant | try installing kvirc with sudo apt install kvirc, then remove it with sudo apt remove kvirc, does it now tell you you can autoremove stuff? | 19:40 |
| flocculant | did for me | 19:40 |
| flocculant | (also there is probably some thing you could do with dpkg and piping it to apt - but don't ask me ...) | 19:40 |
| flocculant | if not I'll paste this list of packages it removed for me for you | 19:41 |
| flocculant | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26234603/ | 19:43 |
| flocculant | READ what terminal tells you though - if you've got something like vlc installed it'll do stuff with that I think | 19:43 |
| joe____ | with that it tells me autoremove will remove "kvirc-data kvirc-modules libkvilib4" but nothing else?! thank you very much for the list, gonna use that :-) | 19:44 |
| flocculant | and yes - software centre does mostly what you'd want, but it has it's drawbacks as you have found | 19:44 |
| flocculant | joe____: just make sure to read what it says - for things you might want ... | 19:44 |
| flocculant | you might have some things left around - there are possibly packages I already had for other things - they'd not be on the list | 19:45 |
| joe____ | nice, so about half a gig of stuff is gone now. quite an operation just to try an irc client. | 19:57 |
| flocculant | :) | 19:57 |
| joe____ | thanks for your help | 19:57 |
| flocculant | try hexchat - used it before irssi | 19:57 |
| flocculant | and no | 19:57 |
| flocculant | problem :D | 19:57 |
| joe____ | alright, gonna do. byebye | 19:58 |
| kgb | buhbye | 19:58 |

| catalani | Oh hey guys. It's my 3rd time installing Xubuntu and I keep getting Initramfs error | 21:45 |
| catalani | Tried purging grub and installing again everytime | 21:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | what is the actual error? | 21:46 |
| catalani | First it tries to load the system, then it goes right back to Busybox | 21:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | knowing the actual error would help ... | 21:54 |
