[00:11] <jk^> how to force an application's closing?
[00:46] <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.
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <joe____> I looked in the dpkg log, what was installed and it is way too much to remove everything by hand... :(
[19:33] <flocculant> joe____: done any installing since? did you have any kde apps installed before?
[19:36] <flocculant> also try sudo apt autoremove in a terminal - software centre is not at all good at removing klingons ...
[19:37] <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
[19:38] <flocculant> ok - hang on
[19:39] <joe____> well atleast i learned to always use apt to install stuff, so you can see beforehand what a huge mess you're installing
[19:40] <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 ...)
[19:41] <flocculant> if not I'll paste this list of packages it removed for me for you
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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 ...
[19:45] <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
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <joe____> alright, gonna do. byebye
[19:58] <kgb> buhbye
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <well_laid_lawn> what is the actual error?
[21:47] <catalani> First it tries to load the system, then it goes right back to Busybox
[21:54] <well_laid_lawn> knowing the actual error would help ...
