[19:01] I have googled and found several blogs suggesting to modify boot with nomodeset etc. But i can never get to the screen where i can modify this. I do have a NVIDIA GT FX55 series [19:02] any help is greatly appreciated! [19:03] shahzad, do you see grub menu when you boot? [19:05] I do not. "Checking NVRAM" are the very quick last famous letters that i see before getting the blinking cursor [19:06] shahzad, I mean when you start the pc you have to see the grub which is offering you to boot kobuntu or advanced settings and bla bla bla [19:07] sounds like it's not even getting that far but isn't actually reporting an invalid system disk [19:08] maybe change to legacy boot mode from UEFI in BIOS? [19:08] oh and unfortunately i don't see that. So the flow: I get the BIOS boot screens and related information --> a flash of 'Checking NVRAM' --> blinking. [19:10] shahzad, that's very very strange [19:10] Indeed! I can install the OS successfully but the darn booting w/out the InstallerUSB just sin't playing nice [19:12] I am trying to switch from WindowsOS to Linux and this hump might just push me back to Windows. Been trying to resolve this boot issue with no avail [19:14] shahzad: well try a different version of Kubuntu, maybe ? [19:15] shahzad, looks like a hardware problem [19:15] it is hardware issue! I have tried Linux Mint Mate and Ubuntu and same issues [19:16] more like Graphics card [19:16] shahzad, yep, then it's hardware, does windows boot fine? [19:16] yes [19:16] shahzad: which version of those OS have you tried ? [19:16] never had issue with Windows [19:16] * om26er thinks its more like hardware support issue than the actual hardware issue. [19:16] Across all of them the latest [19:16] shthen my advice is to install windows and update your bios to the latest available version, then try linux again [19:16] it's mainly graphics card issue === arco is now known as ConIT [19:20] hi [19:22] hmmm...this is interesting. While in my BIOS, i selected 'default' settings on everything and now I do get the 'GRUB' boot screen and able to log in [19:23] wondering what setting in BIOS was preventing it ... Virtulaziation turned on? [19:25] virtualization most probably got nothing to do with boot. [19:25] Wonder if your system had switchable graphics and now its using Intel, shahzad [19:25] binaryhermit was added by: katnip1 [19:26] om26er, while within the OS is there a way to tell (GUI or terminal)? [19:28] shahzad: try: glxinfo | grep OpenGL [19:28] might need to install mesa-utils [19:28] ...in terminal [19:30] :) [19:33] om26er, it says "Vendor string: nouveau" [19:33] man may be i had too high of hopes with Linux but computer just froze! I thought freezing was for Windows only [19:35] nvidia support in this land isn't always great unfortunately. [19:35] if possible try switching off nvidia completely in bios settings and you'll be in a new world [19:36] thank you. If i were to change my graphics card, what cards have better Linux support [19:38] it's probably a Newbie thing on my part but isn't Kubuntu 17 supposed to be solid? Trying to adjust the height of the task bar just froze the computer seconds time in a row [19:52] thank you for all the help === ubuntu is now known as Guest29709 [21:12] hi all [22:16] is there a way to turn on the night light where it warms the screen like it ubuntu gnome does? [22:18] if you are running X there is the app redshift to install, and a plasmoid to control it [22:26] acheronuk: ok. is x a display server? i'm testing kubuntu 18.04 LTS from default. so whichever it's using, then that's it. [22:29] metalbiker: correct [22:29] the packages are redshift and plasma-applet-redshift-control [22:29] ok cool [22:30] thank you kindly! i'll check it out for sure === brascens_ is now known as brascens === justin is now known as Guest2497 === wodencafe is now known as gandergoose === gandergoose is now known as wodencafe === wodencafe is now known as upwoden === upwoden is now known as wodencafe
