[12:02] BluesKaj i have updated yes sorry forgot to mention that [12:02] hateball how can i tell that? [12:03] Frankfurt_Soup: lsmod|grep nv [12:03] or lspci -k |grep -A3 VGA [12:03] (I think) [12:03] otherwise just lspci -k, and scroll manually [12:03] it should show nvidia module loaded for your GPU [12:06] nvidia_uvm 671744 0 [12:06] nvidia_drm 45056 2 [12:06] nvidia_modeset 860160 6 nvidia_drm [12:06] nvidia 13139968 771 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm [12:06] drm_kms_helper 167936 2 i915,nvidia_drm [12:06] drm 360448 6 i915,nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper [12:06] !paste | Frankfurt_Soup [12:06] Frankfurt_Soup: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:06] too late for that now :D [12:06] but yeah, looks like it is loaded proper [12:06] Frankfurt_Soup: 16.04 or 17.10 ? [12:07] Frankfurt_Soup: you could try pressing alt+space, search for "compositing", go into settings and change OpenGL level [12:08] 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] personally (not advisable!) I'd rather run 18.04 pre-release [12:08] can i upgrade to that from LTS ? [12:09] Frankfurt_Soup: Yes, but it is not released/stable yet [12:10] 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] is 17 ok ? [12:10] 17.10 is much better, yes [12:10] i would have thought that the LTS version would have been the most stable [12:10] sadly not the plasma bits :p [12:11] hateball: received the hdd! \o/ [12:11] obert_: And you got it working well? [12:11] so was my nvidia driver working from the stuff i pasted ? [12:11] Frankfurt_Soup: Yep [12:11] didn't opened the package yet [12:11] Frankfurt_Soup: so like I said, could try the compositing options [12:11] I was waiting for you [12:11] -ed [12:11] gee [12:11] obert_: Uh well... shouldnt really need to do much other than plug it in :p [12:12] first step is the most important:P [12:15] OpenGL level? is that the version? or interface? or something else entirely? [12:16] Frankfurt_Soup: yeah opengl [12:17] Frankfurt_Soup: also I'd suggest disabling vsync in kwin and instead use nvidias own [12:17] to prevent tearing [12:17] 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] the rendering backend is set to opengl 2.0 but i have also opengl 3.1 or xrender [12:17] Frankfurt_Soup: give 3.1 a go [12:18] it is a hybrid lol [12:21] 3.1 didnt fix it [12:23] a relogin might help with that [12:23] i ran nvidia-settings and the nvidia settings dont reference the intel gpu at all from what i can see [12:24] ill relog brb [12:27] ok a relog seems to have fixed it lol thumbs up to the one who suggested that :-) [12:28] would it still be worthwhile upgrading to 17? [12:38] Frankfurt_Soup, I thinkyou should wait for a month or so then upgrade to 18.04 LTS [12:39] BluesKaj will it be better than the current LTS ? [12:40] Frankfurt_Soup, It should be new and improved [12:41] bluesKaj ok well as long as i have no other issues ill stick with 16 till then thanks :-) [12:41] right === administrator is now known as Guest60751 [13:40] hateball: I am opening it...I must be carefull: it is slippery :D [13:42] hateball: no device found [13:43] I only connected the hdd to the usb port [13:51] it looks complex [14:01] obert_: I am not sure what you are trying to do [14:01] obert_: did you not simply buy an external HDD to store data on? [14:02] hateball: yeah [14:02] wd elements hdd 2 TB usb [14:02] obert_: So where are you reading "no device found" ? [14:03] https://askubuntu.com/questions/116478/wd-external-hard-drive-not-detected [14:03] after I plug it in, it shows a window with Device not found [14:03] or not detected [14:03] oh wow [14:03] if that is truly the case that is terrible [14:03] also df -h doesn't shows any 2TB drive [14:04] obert_: does anything show if you run "dmesg" after plugging in? [14:04] the last few lines should note it being connected at least [14:04] mm seems it's recognized now [14:04] it opened dolphin [14:05] this: /media/obert/Elements/ [14:05] should I try to copy some files in it? [14:05] Udev is the first step to check for these things: `sudo udevadm monitor --environment --udev` [14:05] obert_: yeah, if it is mounted it should hopefully "just work" [14:06] [76312.851162] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk [14:06] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] 3906963456 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB) [14:06] let me try then [14:07] thanks hateball [14:13] obert_: is it working well to copy? [14:14] seems so, hateball [14:14] obert_: :) [14:15] hello [14:15] i have some questions [14:15] how t search chanells n konversation [14:16] test_: Do you mean channels on freenode? [14:16] !alis | test_ [14:16] test_: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [14:17] is there not search option to list channels [14:20] would someone help me install wine on lubuntu [14:21] i am running lubuntu on virtual box [14:21] when i install wine i cant find in start menu [14:22] test_: thats because you use wine to launch windows exes [14:22] no [14:22] i cant run windows apps with win [14:22] it's not a gui app itself, altho you can run winecfg which is a config gui [14:22] i dont know how to start wine [14:22] test_: I don't know how it is integrated with the desktop in Lubuntu, you should ask in #lubuntu [14:23] i am asking there alos [14:23] otherwise you just run in a terminal: wine /my/little/fil.exe [14:23] Yeah, crossposting isnt too popular [14:23] So that's me done [14:23] i would like to run windows app from icons [14:24] like right click and them run with wine [14:25] 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] ok [14:27] can you recomend me some light linux that is easy to use wine [14:28] test_: Guess you could ask in #linux for that [14:28] excuse my bad english [14:28] Obviously #kubuntu is about Kubuntu [14:28] And I personally do not use WINE at all [14:28] is there something else to run win apps [14:31] 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] before i install on hard drive i would like to test if i can run some win apps [14:33] i cant start win apps wint wine [14:34] You could also dual boot. Run Windows for the few things that require Windows, run Linux for the rest. [14:35] i have to yet decied which linux to use [14:36] i have dual boot in past only mint [14:36] but i dont like mint [14:37] it tarts running slowly after while [14:37] anyway o how do i list chanells in konversation [14:39] ok i found it [14:39] http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode lists a lot of channels. [14:43] i have wine installed but i dont know how to start wn app with it === nameless is now known as Guest65053 [14:52] !wine [14:52] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu === administrator is now known as Guest28033 [15:16] can you tell me how to run win app with wine [15:21] test_: Read the help page, it explains it a whole lot better than I can. === wodencafe is now known as CafeWoden === CafeWoden is now known as wodencaf === wodencaf is now known as wodencafe === administrator is now known as Guest97797 === didi is now known as Guest66545 [18:45] hallo [18:58] rpahics card would work out.
