[02:12] hi [02:13] 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? [02:26] 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 kernels === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [06:27] Good morning [07:30] bitongmu was added by: bitongmu === TheRuralJuror is now known as Haudegen === sysadmin is now known as Jatto === sysadmin is now known as Jatto [10:03] hello, 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 correct [10:03] basically this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032152/problem-upgrading-kubuntu-17-10-to-18-04 [10:11] nescius: at your own risk, you could add the "-d" option to do-release-upgrade, be careful, that might upgrade you to 18.10 instead [10:28] santa_: do you mean that kubuntu 18.04 was not released yet? [10:30] kubuntu bugzilla? [10:42] nescius: I'm not entirely following what the problem is. [10:45] lordievader: 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.. [10:46] Kubuntu and Ubuntu are essentially the same thing, just a different set of desktop packages. [10:47] lordievader: thanks, i did not know that ;) [10:47] and I dont want any gnome packages installed.. [10:48] `do-release-upgrade` should not install any gnome packages, unless there is a package installed with a (new) dependency on them. [10:49] but it looks good, the thing which confused me the most is the dist upgrade page shown ubuntu and ubuntu release notes [10:54] 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 says [10:56] yes, lets see, if it will boot, I will tell you in a moment :) [11:12] ok, so my dist-upgrade ended in unuseable system, no gui, no internet, classics.. time to move a working distro [11:13] any tips? [11:17] do 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 anything [11:18] nescius: try "sudo service sddm restart" [11:18] yes, nothing happens [11:18] I think its stopped by the tty2 containing shell [11:19] but I have no clue where are those ttys defined and belive this was not updated correctly [11:19] https://thepasteb.in/p/NxhVQx50qDyUN [11:20] no, sorry, something happens - i get switched to different screen which only contains _ and thats all [11:24] Hi, running "modprobe nvidia" gives me: modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-23-generic.

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 kernels [11:37] ..does the project need testers? [11:37] i 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. === tolszak_ is now known as tolszak [12:24] Hey folks [12:24] hey [12:30] diogenes_: oh hey [12:30] BluesKaj: hi!!

[12:44] EvilRoey: besises you should use driver manager to find the recommended driver for your nvidia gpu [12:45] ok let me check [12:45] and let it install the driver [12:46] https://pastebin.com/FU4jESBT [12:46] so that's a yes [12:50] it should be, it's defualt, but since you insist on experimentataion I thought I'd better ask :-) [12:50] experimentation eveb [12:51] think I need more coffee [15:32] BluesKaj: hows that coffee :) :) === pan is now known as Guest6890 === coder is now known as Guest85719 [18:35] does anyone know if it's possible to install kubuntu over windows 10 via usb install? [18:35] i heard things now have to be disabled in the bios or something like that [18:39] hello? [18:41] Guest85719, once again what you wanna do? [18:43] does it require additional steps to replace win10 with kubuntu than it did for win7? [18:44] Guest85719, so you have a machine with window 10 only> [18:44] from what I googled according to an askubuntu answer it's the same process is that true? [18:44] yes [18:45] first care to backup your data that are currently on windows 10 [18:45] then just boot the kubuntu usb, there will be the option to erase everything and install kubuntu [18:45] you choose thata nd don't bother [18:46] or you choose manually partitioning which is my favorite option [18:46] ok i just wanted to make sure that it didn't change because i heard once that you have to disable things like safe-boot [18:47] Guest85719, is the usb drive fails to boot then you disable secure boot [18:47] is that done in the bios? [18:48] yes [18:48] ok thanks i never had to do that because the only windows OS i have experience with replacing with Linux is win7 [18:49] is disabling secure boot it or is there more to disable? [18:50] only that [18:50] ok good thanks for confirming that [18:51] i was on linux mint forum back when the secure boot issue was being discovered so i was worried [18:52] in 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 chromebooks [18:53] and i want something more powerful than a chromebook [18:54] so needless to say thanks again [18:54] it's a shame manufacturers don't seel with just a bios upon request [18:55] sell"" === gurmble is now known as grumble === mkv is now known as m4v [20:24] Tengocoffee was added by: Tengocoffee === sysadmin is now known as VLanX === vincent is now known as Guest92911 === Guest92911 is now known as xmrxv === rev_strangehope_ is now known as revstrangehope === TheRuralJuror is now known as Haudegen [23:22] romani?
