[07:00] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:33] <BluesKaj> HI folks
[11:18] <adeel_>  
[11:56] <Frankfurt_Soup> hi guys i just finished installing kubuntu and was prompted to install proper nvidia drivers which i have done i then set a secure boot password and rebooted, entered my password and am now back in kubuntu however im getting funny artifact looking things pop up as i mouse over things on my desktop and menus it almost looks as though tooltips are trying to popup but there is nothing there
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Frankfurt_Soup, assume you've updated and upgraded your packages as well
[12:02] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: and nvidia driver is in fact loaded as well?
[12:02] <Frankfurt_Soup> BluesKaj i have updated yes sorry forgot to mention that
[12:02] <Frankfurt_Soup> hateball how can i tell that?
[12:03] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: lsmod|grep nv
[12:03] <hateball> or lspci -k |grep -A3 VGA
[12:03] <hateball> (I think)
[12:03] <hateball> otherwise just lspci -k, and scroll manually
[12:03] <hateball> it should show nvidia module loaded for your GPU
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> nvidia_uvm            671744  0
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> nvidia_drm             45056  2
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> nvidia_modeset        860160  6 nvidia_drm
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> nvidia              13139968  771 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> drm_kms_helper        167936  2 i915,nvidia_drm
[12:06] <Frankfurt_Soup> drm                   360448  6 i915,nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper
[12:06] <hateball> !paste | Frankfurt_Soup
[12:06] <hateball> too late for that now :D
[12:06] <hateball> but yeah, looks like it is loaded proper
[12:06] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: 16.04 or 17.10 ?
[12:07] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: you could try pressing alt+space, search for "compositing", go into settings and change OpenGL level
[12:08] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: also it should be noted that stock 16.04 is all kinds of broken, it really needs backports PPA to behave
[12:08] <hateball> personally (not advisable!) I'd rather run 18.04 pre-release
[12:08] <Frankfurt_Soup> can i upgrade to that from LTS ?
[12:09] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: Yes, but it is not released/stable yet
[12:10] <hateball> that said, if this is a clean install and you've got nothing to lose, "do-release-upgrade -d" would put you on it. but if it is a clean install, well might as well reinstall nightly 18.04 imo
[12:10] <Frankfurt_Soup> is 17 ok ?
[12:10] <hateball> 17.10 is much better, yes
[12:10] <Frankfurt_Soup> i would have thought that the LTS version would have been the most stable
[12:10] <hateball> sadly not the plasma bits :p
[12:11] <obert_> hateball: received the hdd! \o/
[12:11] <hateball> obert_: And you got it working well?
[12:11] <Frankfurt_Soup> so was my nvidia driver working from the stuff i pasted ?
[12:11] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: Yep
[12:11] <obert_> didn't opened the package yet
[12:11] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: so like I said, could try the compositing options
[12:11] <obert_> I was waiting for you
[12:11] <obert_> -ed
[12:11] <obert_> gee
[12:11] <hateball> obert_: Uh well... shouldnt really need to do much other than plug it in :p
[12:12] <obert_> first step is the most important:P
[12:15] <Frankfurt_Soup> OpenGL level? is that the version? or interface? or something else entirely?
[12:16] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: yeah opengl
[12:17] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: also I'd suggest disabling vsync in kwin and instead use nvidias own
[12:17] <hateball> to prevent tearing
[12:17] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: oh! if this is a hybrid gpu system, open nvidia-settings to make sure you are actually using nvidia and not intel for your x session :D
[12:17] <Frankfurt_Soup> the rendering backend is set to opengl 2.0 but i have also opengl 3.1 or xrender
[12:17] <hateball> Frankfurt_Soup: give 3.1 a go
[12:18] <Frankfurt_Soup> it is a hybrid lol
[12:21] <Frankfurt_Soup> 3.1 didnt fix it
[12:23] <BluesKaj> a relogin might help with that
[12:23] <Frankfurt_Soup> i ran nvidia-settings and the nvidia settings dont reference the intel gpu at all from what i can see
[12:24] <Frankfurt_Soup> ill relog brb
[12:27] <Frankfurt_Soup> ok a relog seems to have fixed it lol thumbs up to the one who suggested that :-)
[12:28] <Frankfurt_Soup> would it still be worthwhile upgrading to 17?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> Frankfurt_Soup,  I thinkyou should wait for a month or so then upgrade to 18.04 LTS
[12:39] <Frankfurt_Soup> BluesKaj will it be better than the current LTS ?
[12:40] <BluesKaj> Frankfurt_Soup, It should be new and improved
[12:41] <Frankfurt_Soup> bluesKaj ok well as long as i have no other issues ill stick with 16 till then thanks :-)
[12:41] <BluesKaj> right
[13:40] <obert_> hateball: I am opening it...I must be carefull: it is slippery :D
[13:42] <obert_> hateball: no device found
[13:43] <obert_> I only connected the hdd to the usb port
[13:51] <obert_> it looks complex
[14:01] <hateball> obert_: I am not sure what you are trying to do
[14:01] <hateball> obert_: did you not simply buy an external HDD to store data on?
[14:02] <obert_> hateball: yeah
[14:02] <obert_> wd elements hdd 2 TB usb
[14:02] <hateball> obert_: So where are you reading "no device found" ?
[14:03] <obert_> https://askubuntu.com/questions/116478/wd-external-hard-drive-not-detected
[14:03] <obert_> after I plug it in, it shows a window with Device not found
[14:03] <obert_> or not detected
[14:03] <hateball> oh wow
[14:03] <hateball> if that is truly the case that is terrible
[14:03] <obert_> also df -h doesn't shows any 2TB drive
[14:04] <hateball> obert_: does anything show if you run "dmesg" after plugging in?
[14:04] <hateball> the last few lines should note it being connected at least
[14:04] <obert_> mm seems it's recognized now
[14:04] <obert_> it opened dolphin
[14:05] <obert_> this: /media/obert/Elements/
[14:05] <obert_> should I try to copy some files in it?
[14:05] <lordievader> Udev is the first step to check for these things: `sudo udevadm monitor --environment --udev`
[14:05] <hateball> obert_: yeah, if it is mounted it should hopefully "just work"
[14:06] <obert_> [76312.851162] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
[14:06] <obert_> sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] 3906963456 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB)
[14:06] <obert_> let me try then
[14:07] <obert_> thanks hateball
[14:13] <hateball> obert_: is it working well to copy?
[14:14] <obert_> seems so, hateball
[14:14] <hateball> obert_: :)
[14:15] <test_> hello
[14:15] <test_> i have some questions
[14:15] <test_> how t search chanells n konversation
[14:16] <hateball> test_: Do you mean channels on freenode?
[14:16] <hateball> !alis | test_
[14:17] <test_> is there not search option to list channels
[14:20] <test_> would someone help me install wine on lubuntu
[14:21] <test_> i am running lubuntu on virtual box
[14:21] <test_> when i install wine i cant find in start menu
[14:22] <hateball> test_: thats because you use wine to launch windows exes
[14:22] <test_> no
[14:22] <test_> i cant run windows apps with win
[14:22] <hateball> it's not a gui app itself, altho you can run winecfg which is a config gui
[14:22] <test_> i dont know how to start wine
[14:22] <hateball> test_: I don't know how it is integrated with the desktop in Lubuntu, you should ask in #lubuntu
[14:23] <test_> i am asking there alos
[14:23] <hateball> otherwise you just run in a terminal: wine /my/little/fil.exe
[14:23] <hateball> Yeah, crossposting isnt too popular
[14:23] <hateball> So that's me done
[14:23] <test_> i would like to run windows app from icons
[14:24] <test_> like right click and them run with wine
[14:25] <hateball> test_: And I am telling you the way that works in Lubuntu and Kubuntu is not the same, so you're better off waiting for a reply in #lubuntu or ask in #ubuntu which kind of caters to all the desktops (and has most users)
[14:26] <test_> ok
[14:27] <test_> can you recomend me some light linux that is easy to use wine
[14:28] <hateball> test_: Guess you could ask in #linux for that
[14:28] <test_> excuse my bad english
[14:28] <hateball> Obviously #kubuntu is about Kubuntu
[14:28] <hateball> And I personally do not use WINE at all
[14:28] <test_> is there something else to run win apps
[14:31] <lordievader> As you are already running Virtualbox, you can do the same inside Linux/Ubuntu. Run Windows inside Linux/Ubuntu as a virtual machine.
[14:33] <test_> before i install on hard drive i would like to test if i can run some win apps
[14:33] <test_> i cant start win apps wint wine
[14:34] <lordievader> You could also dual boot. Run Windows for the few things that require Windows, run Linux for the rest.
[14:35] <test_> i have to yet decied which linux to use
[14:36] <test_> i have dual boot in past only mint
[14:36] <test_> but i dont like mint
[14:37] <test_> it tarts running slowly after  while
[14:37] <test_> anyway o how do i list chanells in konversation
[14:39] <test_> ok i found it
[14:39] <lordievader> http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode lists a lot of channels.
[14:43] <test_> i have wine installed but i dont know how to start wn app with it
[14:52] <lordievader> !wine
[15:16] <test_> can you tell me how to run win app with wine
[15:21] <lordievader> test_: Read the help page, it explains it a whole lot better than I can.
