[02:12] <Roey> hi
[02:13] <Roey> 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] <Roey> 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
[06:27] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:03] <nescius> 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] <nescius> basically this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032152/problem-upgrading-kubuntu-17-10-to-18-04
[10:11] <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 instead
[10:28] <nescius> santa_: do you mean that kubuntu 18.04 was not released yet?
[10:30] <nescius> kubuntu bugzilla?
[10:42] <lordievader> nescius: I'm not entirely following what the problem is.
[10:45] <nescius> 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] <lordievader> Kubuntu and Ubuntu are essentially the same thing, just a different set of desktop packages.
[10:47] <nescius> lordievader: thanks, i did not know that ;)
[10:47] <nescius> and I dont want any gnome packages installed..
[10:48] <lordievader> `do-release-upgrade` should not install any gnome packages, unless there is a package installed with a (new) dependency on them.
[10:49] <nescius> but it looks good, the thing which confused me the most is the dist upgrade page shown ubuntu and ubuntu release notes
[10:54] <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 says
[10:56] <nescius> yes, lets see, if it will boot, I will tell you in a moment :)
[11:12] <nescius> ok, so my dist-upgrade ended in unuseable system, no gui, no internet, classics.. time to move a working distro
[11:13] <nescius> any tips?
[11:17] <nescius> 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] <hateball> nescius: try "sudo service sddm restart"
[11:18] <nescius> yes, nothing happens
[11:18] <nescius> I think its stopped by the tty2 containing shell
[11:19] <nescius> but I have no clue where are those ttys defined and belive this was not updated correctly
[11:19] <viewer|83031> https://thepasteb.in/p/NxhVQx50qDyUN
[11:20] <nescius> no, sorry, something happens - i get switched to different screen which only contains _ and thats all
[11:24] <EvilRoey> Hi, 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 kernels
[11:37] <nescius> ..does the project need testers?
[11:37] <nescius> 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.
[12:24] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:24] <diogenes_> hey
[12:30] <EvilRoey> diogenes_: oh hey
[12:30] <EvilRoey> BluesKaj: hi!!

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