[00:11] how to force an application's closing? [00:46] 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. === chmurifree is now known as chmuri === slickymasterWork is now known as Guest65454 === phunyguy is now known as phunysanta === Unit193 is now known as JackFrost [19:25] 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 [19:26] I looked in the dpkg log, what was installed and it is way too much to remove everything by hand... :( [19:33] joe____: done any installing since? did you have any kde apps installed before? [19:36] also try sudo apt autoremove in a terminal - software centre is not at all good at removing klingons ... [19:37] 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 [19:38] ok - hang on [19:39] well atleast i learned to always use apt to install stuff, so you can see beforehand what a huge mess you're installing [19:40] 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] did for me [19:40] (also there is probably some thing you could do with dpkg and piping it to apt - but don't ask me ...) [19:41] if not I'll paste this list of packages it removed for me for you [19:43] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26234603/ [19:43] READ what terminal tells you though - if you've got something like vlc installed it'll do stuff with that I think [19:44] 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] and yes - software centre does mostly what you'd want, but it has it's drawbacks as you have found [19:44] joe____: just make sure to read what it says - for things you might want ... [19:45] you might have some things left around - there are possibly packages I already had for other things - they'd not be on the list [19:57] nice, so about half a gig of stuff is gone now. quite an operation just to try an irc client. [19:57] :) [19:57] thanks for your help [19:57] try hexchat - used it before irssi [19:57] and no [19:57] problem :D [19:58] alright, gonna do. byebye [19:58] buhbye === paolo_ is now known as paolo [21:45] Oh hey guys. It's my 3rd time installing Xubuntu and I keep getting Initramfs error [21:45] Tried purging grub and installing again everytime [21:46] what is the actual error? [21:47] First it tries to load the system, then it goes right back to Busybox [21:54] knowing the actual error would help ...
