| amichair | Hi, I just got a new laptop with windows 10, and installed kubuntu as dual-boot using a usb live disk (and resized partitions etc.). After the installer reboots, all I get is a grub shell prompt. Now what? | 09:46 |

| lordievader | amichair: Does grub give an error? | 11:14 |
| amichair | lordievader: no, just a short sentence about its mini bash and the prompt | 11:25 |
| lordievader | amichair: Then I'd start a live-usb and verify if all the partitions are okay. | 11:29 |
| amichair | lordievader: both partitions open in dolphin from live usb and look ok, is there anything in particular I need to verify? | 11:34 |

| amichair | can anyone help with dual-boot grub problems? | 12:42 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, what exactly? | 12:49 |
| amichair | diogenes_: I got a new laptop with windows 10, and installed kubuntu 18.04 as dual-boot using a usb live disk (and resized partitions etc.). After the installer reboots, all I get is a grub shell prompt. I tried boot-repair but nothing changed. | 12:50 |
| amichair | I also disabled secure boot in bios and re-ran boot-repair as it requested. Still the same. | 12:51 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, did you install it in uefi mode? also did you manually partition? | 12:51 |
| amichair | diogenes_: yes, manually partitioned - I resized the windows partition to half, and with the remaining space added a linux partition and little swap partition. Installed kubuntu into the linux partition. | 12:52 |
| amichair | diogenes_: not sure about uefi, whatever the default was | 12:53 |
| diogenes_ | did you also add a small 300 MB /boot/efi partition | 12:53 |
| amichair | diogenes_: looks like sda1 is a 260m efi partition. Dunno if it was there by default, or added by the installer. I'm guessing it was already there since the partition numbers look similar (just added the two partitions - sda5 and sda6) | 12:54 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, that was the windows efi partition and you had to add a linux efi partition too | 12:55 |
| amichair | diogenes_: oh, didn't know there's a separate efi partition for each. I'm new to this efi and secureboot stuff. I didn't get any warning or anything in installer. | 12:56 |
| amichair | diogenes_: maybe it just overwrote the windows efi partition? | 12:56 |
| diogenes_ | in any case, re-install the system and this time create a separate efi partition and all should be fine | 12:57 |
| amichair | but I'm guessing then at least the linux boot would work... which it doesn't | 12:57 |
| amichair | diogenes_: ok so with parted I add 260m partition, then re-run kubuntu installer on the same partitions as before? how do I make it use the new efi partition? | 12:58 |
| amichair | diogenes_: also, how do I check/restore the existing efi partition? | 12:58 |
| amichair | btw, there's also sda2 16m unknown partition. dunno what that is | 12:58 |
| amichair | it was there before as well | 12:59 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, i'm not a specialist on the restoring things, i always take 15 minutes to re-install everything from scratch and not wasting 3 hours to try to figure out what was wrong. | 12:59 |
| amichair | diogenes_: I don't have the windows installer... this came installed with the laptop. There seems to be a recovery partition though. | 13:00 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, if you install kubuntu correctly then you will get your windows running too. | 13:00 |
| amichair | diogenes_: ok, so I'll try that - can u pls confirm what I wrote above (i.e. that I understood the steps correctly?) | 13:01 |
| amichair | use live usb to add another 260m partition, run kubuntu installer again using the same linux/swap partitions and specify the new efi partition somewhere? does it ask for that? | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, you try changing to legacy mode in the uefi/bios to see if kubuntu will boot | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | could try | 13:03 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, 1. you run the kubuntu installer, 2. you choose manual partitioning 3. you remove every linux partition you created before 4. make new partitions DON't forget to include the /boot/efi | 13:04 |
| diogenes_ | then fingers crossed and you should be fine. | 13:04 |
| amichair | diogenes_: does the location of the new efi partition matter? | 13:05 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, usually it's created the last one | 13:05 |
| diogenes_ | after swap | 13:05 |
| amichair | can I just take it off the swap partition? (i.e. sda6 or sda7) | 13:05 |
| amichair | ya ok, I'll add it to the end of swap | 13:05 |

| amichair | diogenes_: does the checkbox for installing third party software (drivers?) affect this in any way? | 13:07 |
| amichair | last time there was some secure boot checkbox related to it (now it's gone) | 13:07 |
| diogenes_ | amichair, better don't tick it now | 13:07 |
| amichair | ok | 13:07 |
| amichair | diogenes_: in "device for bootloader installation" I put sda or the new efi partition? | 13:08 |
| diogenes_ | you put sda and be careful your hdd to be listed | 13:09 |
| amichair | diogenes_: yeah there's only one | 13:09 |
| amichair | diogenes_: how do I tell the installer to use the new efi system partition? or does it detect automatically? | 13:19 |
| diogenes_ | it's done automatically once you created it right | 13:19 |
| amichair | ok | 13:19 |
| amichair | dilfridge: reinstalled as you suggested, still the same grub prompt | 14:03 |
| amichair | dilfridge: oops :-) | 14:04 |
| amichair | diogenes_ is gone | 14:04 |
| amichair | and my boot still fails :-/ | 14:05 |
| amichair | diogenes_: reinstalled as you suggested, still the same grub prompt | 14:25 |
| amichair | diogenes_: I did read a bit and found that only one efi partition is necessary for multiple os, no need for extra partition | 14:25 |
| amichair | diogenes_: indeed it looks like the installer didn't even use it, it's empty | 14:26 |
| amichair | and the original efi partition has directories for both windows and ubuntu | 14:26 |

| Guest3180 | Hey guys! Kubuntu 18.04 user here. Lately my bottom panel and super key freeze randomly. I still can use the windows with the open programs. Restart fixes the problem. Can I restart just this part of the desktop? Or is it a known problem with a solution? Thanks! | 16:25 |
| Guest3180 | I have no ppas enabled. | 16:25 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <DarinMiller> @Guest3180, Sounds like plasma is misbehaving. kill and restart plasma with this command: killall plasmashell && plasmashell & | 16:28 |
| diogenes_ | Guest3180, only the panel freezes or other things too? | 16:28 |
| pedahzur | Hi! Any news when Plasma 5.13 is going to hit the Kubuntu Backports PPA for 18.04? Will it arrive before 18.10 is out (for the new Qt packages)? | 16:39 |
| Guest3180 | IrcsomeBot2: Thank you for answering! Is the last "&" a typo? | 16:45 |
| Guest3180 | IrcsomeBot2: ....and do you have and newbie friendly advice as to how I can start finding out what caused this issue? | 16:45 |
| Guest3180 | diogenes_: only the panel. thus also no start menü. | 17:00 |
| mparillo | https://askubuntu.com/questions/88091/how-to-run-a-shell-script-in-background/88092 | 17:01 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <DarinMiller> The & at the end specifies to spawn plasmashell in it's own process. If the command was ran from a terminal, the terminal would become the parent process and plasmashell will die if the terminal is closed. | 17:02 |
| diogenes_ | Guest3180, you could try to remove the panel completely then add a new one back and set it up the way you like. | 17:04 |
| Guest3180 | diogenes_: nono, that takes much time. a reboot fixes the problem. | 17:05 |
| Guest3180 | diogenes_: actually it is also too often to do that. | 17:05 |
| diogenes_ | Guest3180, no, i mean you do it once and that might fix the problem forever :) hopefully. | 17:06 |
