Roeyrunning "modprobe nvidia" gives me: modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-23-generic.  Before this, I ran the command apt-get install nvidia-390.  What gives?02:13
RoeyI'm trying to figure out why the nvidia-390 package did not lay down an nvidia.ko under /lib/modules for this current kernel like it did for other kernels02:26

nesciushello, what is the kubuntu way to update from 17.10 to 18.04? the kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" mentions updating from ubuntu 17.10 to ubuntu 18.04, thats not exactly correct10:03
nesciusbasically this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032152/problem-upgrading-kubuntu-17-10-to-18-0410:03
santa_nescius: at your own risk, you could add the "-d" option to do-release-upgrade, be careful, that might upgrade you to 18.10 instead10:11
nesciussanta_: do you mean that kubuntu 18.04 was not released yet?10:28
nesciuskubuntu bugzilla?10:30
lordievadernescius: I'm not entirely following what the problem is.10:42
nesciuslordievader: check the above link - upgrading from Kubuntu 17.10 to Ubuntu 18.04.. I noticed that lsd-release contained Ubuntu 17.10, even it was installed as Kubuntu 17.10, I edited this before starting the upgrade, lets see..10:45
lordievaderKubuntu and Ubuntu are essentially the same thing, just a different set of desktop packages.10:46
nesciuslordievader: thanks, i did not know that ;)10:47
nesciusand I dont want any gnome packages installed..10:47
lordievader`do-release-upgrade` should not install any gnome packages, unless there is a package installed with a (new) dependency on them.10:48
nesciusbut it looks good, the thing which confused me the most is the dist upgrade page shown ubuntu and ubuntu release notes10:49
santa_nescius: 18.04 was released, but I think it wasn't activated inmediatly in the 'do-release-upgrade' script, in any case that script shouldn't swtich you to gnome like lordievader says10:54
nesciusyes, lets see, if it will boot, I will tell you in a moment :)10:56
nesciusok, so my dist-upgrade ended in unuseable system, no gui, no internet, classics.. time to move a working distro11:12
nesciusany tips?11:13
nesciusdo you know where the gui is supposed to run in 18.04? is it on the ctrl+alt+F2 (tty2) because i have shell there and f7 does not show anything11:17
hateballnescius: try "sudo service sddm restart"11:18
nesciusyes, nothing happens11:18
nesciusI think its stopped by the tty2 containing shell11:18
nesciusbut I have no clue where are those ttys defined and belive this was not updated correctly11:19

nesciusno, sorry, something happens - i get switched to different screen which only contains _ and thats all11:20
EvilRoeyHi, running "modprobe nvidia" gives me: modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-23-generic.  Before this, I ran the command apt-get install nvidia-390.  What gives?  I'm trying to figure out why the nvidia-390 package did not lay down an nvidia.ko under /lib/modules for this current kernel like it did for other kernels11:24
nescius..does the project need testers?11:37
nesciusi work as one, and I would be interested in this, it would be nice to have dist upgrade working.. or purged if its working like this.11:37

Guest85719does anyone know if it's possible to install kubuntu over windows 10 via usb install?18:35
Guest85719i heard things now have to be disabled in the bios or something like that18:35
Guest85719hello?18:39
diogenes_Guest85719, once again what you wanna do?18:41
Guest85719does it require additional steps to replace win10 with kubuntu than it did for win7?18:43
diogenes_Guest85719, so you have a machine with window 10 only>18:44
Guest85719from what I googled according to an askubuntu answer it's the same process is that true?18:44
Guest85719yes18:44
diogenes_first care to backup your data that are currently on windows 1018:45
diogenes_then just boot the kubuntu usb, there will be the option to erase everything and install kubuntu18:45
diogenes_you choose thata nd don't bother18:45
diogenes_or you choose manually partitioning which is my favorite option18:46
Guest85719ok i just wanted to make sure that it didn't change because i heard once that you have to disable things like safe-boot18:46
diogenes_Guest85719, is the usb drive fails to boot then you disable secure boot18:47
Guest85719is that done in the bios?18:47
diogenes_yes18:48
Guest85719ok thanks i never had to do that because the only windows OS i have experience with replacing with Linux is win718:48
Guest85719is disabling secure boot it or is there more to disable?18:49
diogenes_only that18:50
Guest85719ok good thanks for confirming that18:50
Guest85719i was on linux mint forum back when the secure boot issue was being discovered so i was worried18:51
Guest85719in turth im planning on getting a new dell laptop but i want to replace the OS with linux but the only laptops they have that don't hav win10 preinstalled are chromebooks18:52
Guest85719and i want something more powerful than a chromebook18:53
Guest85719so needless to say thanks again18:54
Guest85719it's a shame manufacturers don't seel with just a bios upon request18:54
