I got pissed, ctrl+f4 to get out of it. Not unusual for me. [11:19] Kubuntu crashes. Computer restarts. [11:19] No more Kubuntu. Computers starts into Windows, and no matter how I choose my hard drive in bios selection, no Kubuntu anymore. nothing. [11:19] I looked online, found this thing, boot repair. Tried it. [11:20] now grub has me in some emergency mode loop for kubuntu (doesn't boot, keeps trying) and there's no more windows either. [11:20] Currently trying to create windows media tool, and see if I can use that to repair the boot somehow. [11:20] no idea what happened, or why. I have an idea that the repair tool killed windows, ok. but before that, no [11:22] jrss, did you try the recovery/alternate kernel in grub? [11:23] yes, there are four option, two "regular" and two .. um.. I think it says recovery [11:24] a menu shows up, I can't move the curour because my keyboard is not responding [11:24] it's backlit LED, and the light is off completely. [11:24] (in this boot mode, otherwise it's working fine) [11:28] why did you exit the game with ctl+F4 , whynot use the escape key? [11:28] Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [11:44] Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [11:45] damn bot attacks [11:58] Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [11:58] Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in this blog by freenode staff member Bryan 'kloeri' Ostergaard https://bryanostergaard.com/ [12:05] hmmm maybe it's my cmos battery [12:05] computer crashes, can't see all hard drives, keyboard is dead.... [12:06] and most important, time zones, it always resets [12:06] yep. I think that's the thing. [12:06] jrss, indeed, symptoms of a dead bios battery [12:06] jrss, my colleagues tell me that using ctrl+F4 should not have anything to do with grub [12:06] oerheks, this you can get in any staples or best buy right? [12:07] jrss, sure, i usually take one from an old pc [12:07] BluesKaj, yeah I think it's just coincidence. I can't even get into BIOS now because keyboard is just dead. won't power up from USB, no reaction [12:07] oh hmmmmmm [12:07] I might be able to do thatr [12:08] CR2032 [12:08] but how much do they cost? can't be that much [12:08] less than $5 [12:09] but if you need to travel 10 miles+, i would check for anunused pc [12:10] nah i'm in the city [12:10] I was planning a walk to the library anyway, then it's like 3 minutes from there [12:10] Staples that is. [12:11] are there different kinds? last time I did something like that was ages ago [12:15] i just gave you a number [12:16] CR2032 .. or the weaker CR2016 [12:17] such a small thing can cause such chaos [12:20] building a pc, and not using all spacer positions, that also act as a electric ground point, harder to detect [12:20] :-D [12:21] $0.15 [12:25] yeah , oerheks I mounted a new mobo in an OEM box and there were fewer mounting screw holes than the mobo had [12:25] sorry oerheks I missed it [12:25] saw it now [12:26] I hope that would be it. meh [12:28] jrss, the number is plainly stamped on the battery [12:30] ok. yeah I'll open it up in a sec === msalvato- is now known as msalvatore === break19_ is now known as break19 === EvilRoey is now known as ThePanickingDosi === ThePanickingDosi is now known as PanickingDosim [14:38] Set /umode +R if you're getting tons of nonsensical PMs [14:47] oerheks, yeah , which to avoid that?

I'm getting unknown command in the server [14:52] got it now === EvilRoey is now known as dutchgoose === dutchgoose is now known as EvilRoey [15:22] 18.04.1 is released tomorrow? [15:22] I can hardly wait [15:40] jubo2: same [15:43] I've been told that the distribution upgrade from 16.04.4 and 17.10.something should be smooth sailing .. from 15 -> 16 (iirc) there were some major architectural changes which caused troubled upgrades [15:44] and here's me still on ubuntu 14.04 >.> [15:44] supported until 2019 <.< [15:46] Hold on.. this says the release is today (at least for Ubuntu) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule [15:46] Is Kubuntu 18.04.1 out already? [15:46] check the website [15:47] nope [15:47] Compu: URL plos [15:50] jubo2: https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ [15:53] That does not state the release date fo 18.04.1 [15:58] no but it shows it's not out yet [16:05] If you want to save time, you can zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/bionic/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync [16:26] hello I am running ubuntu 16.04 and update manager is not showing 18.04 for upgrade [16:26] someone told me I should wait for ubuntu 18.04.1 to be released... [16:26] which I think they did today === EvilRoey is now known as RoeyOofnik [17:11] That reminds me.. Pineapple contains Bromelain which is nature's effective cough medicine. When is the Kubuntu 17.04.1 coming out..? Searching I don't find the release schedule.. maybe I suck at searching [17:12] typo.. of course meant 18.04.1 [17:15] Trying to puzzle out how to set gamma with nvidia drivers for only a single screen. I can do it with the nvidia x-server stuff, but it seems like the KDE gamma takes over it, but won't let me do it per-screen [18:21] Hey, any news on when kde 5.13 will be available for kubuntu 18.04 ^_^ === RoeyOofnik is now known as EvilRoey === kubuntu is now known as Guest36601 [19:22] @viktor, Only in the Backports PPA === Guest36601 is now known as oft_gegong [19:31] Even in backports it's still 5.12 :/ [19:35] I love KDE, it has an option to swap CapsLock:Escape keys and it has the option to turn down the volume/brightness of the screen. spiffy [19:41] viktor: It's in the kubuntu experimental PPA currently if you're that impatient and want to test. [19:41] oft_gegong: it is very nice, I want per-screen gamma -- but can't seem to find out how to set that via the KDE gamma tool [19:42] ( insert the usual dire warnings here about using PPAs ) [19:50] robertmeta: there might be a way to set per-screen gamma, let me check my configs.. [19:51] robertmeta: ~/.config/kgammarc #<---it's located at this file [19:51] if you edit it the screen may update on-the-fly, I'm 68% sure [19:52] I found the file by going: cd ~; grep -RsHIni gamma ./ [19:53] genii: any idea when it will be in main backports repo? [19:56] It would probably be in the updates repo, and not backports. [19:57] Backports are when a newer application or framework are ported back to a previous version of *buntu from a current one [19:58] oh okay, I was told to expect it in the backports repo [20:01] so how (and when) can we (kubuntu 18.04 community) get kde 5.13? [21:02] Dear people of Kubuntu. I need your help. My computer won't boot to Kubuntu anymore, and, as of last night when i tried the repair tool, it won't boot to windows either. [21:03] I get emergency mode, and asked to press ctrl+d to continue, and when I do, it repeats. it's a loop [21:03] help me get my kubuntu and windows back? >.> [21:03] hmm sounds like you disabled hard drive in BIOS [21:04] or enabled secure boot [21:04] or something like that [21:05] ok update. I played around with some USB live CD (I have no idea what I did) and now grub asks me for ubuntu or windows 10. windows 10 was not an option for the last 24 hours. [21:05] So I can now boot intwo windows 10. [21:06] There are many things here.. I replaced my CMOS battery too... I don't know where to start [21:06] and I had some beer. to make things easier. to explain. you see. [21:06] >.> [21:10] this is very weird. What i did is trying to create windows 10 live CD. After I restarted my computer, and tried to start from my main hard drive, suddently windows 10 became an option. it was NOT there forever. [21:10] I still can't boot into Kubuntu, seems like. It boots into emergency mode loop [21:11] hmmm sounds like something messed with the boot loader [21:12] how would you go check these, so it doesn't happen again? [21:12] hmmm [21:12] I am now creation windows 10 "live CD" and I will create a kubuntu one as well [21:12] before I try to restart again [21:12] *creating [21:13] yeah a Kubuntu liveDVD is definitely recommended, then you can get in a live environment, chroot in, and reinstall grub2 [21:13] I thikn that's kind of what the boot tool did before, but it really messed up stuff [21:14] I'm not sure why it "forgot" there's Kubuntu on this computer to begin with [21:14] Let me tell you really quick, I 98% suck with grub2, I don't understand when boot-loaders get burned into the hard drive at /dev/sda, I don't understand it. Not to mention ext4 partitions being bootable flag in gparted, it's weird. UEFI VS legacy boot in BIOS makes things even weirder. [21:14] maybe it was my CMOS battery all along [21:14] hmmmm [21:15] jrss: you can tell the CMOS battery is going out when you go into BIOS settings and the time is 1970 [21:15] so what you're saying is I should have more beer and trust everything you're saying and hope for the best? [21:15] cool. [21:15] oft_gegong, oh it was going out alright. but I ignored it. because I'm smart, see. [21:16] drink beer, get some pizza, and just install Linux Mint, j/king. I mean install Kubuntu on a USB or put Kubuntu as a liveUSB on a USB with unetbootin like what I have or something jeez [21:17] basically what you really need is a recovery DVD or recovery USB that has some linux like kubuntu [21:17] i am coming from linux mint actually :p [21:18] that way you can run gparted/fdisk to work with the partitions on your hard disk [21:18] yeah. I have kde partitions or what not [21:18] I can use that right [21:18] whoa KDE has a partition manager [21:19] yep, comes built in with KDE [21:19] it looks nice [21:19] whoooooooa [21:19] you didn't know? [21:19] :D [21:19] is cool, not making fun, happy to inform you then [21:20] yeah it looks good [21:21] * oft_gegong scratches head "I'll probably just keep with gparted as I had no idea about this and whether gparted has other beneficial ways of using it" [21:23] I'm making the kubuntu live CD now [21:23] say, besides plasma, lots of differences between u and k? [21:29] jrss: yes, KDE Frameworks rather than the gtk libraries [21:30] and the application are 99% different [21:30] the only common one is Firefox afaik [21:32] so now getting into kubuntu with live CD [21:33] how should i go at repairing the bios ? [21:33] you could try resetting the BIOS to default settings if you've messed it up too badly [21:34] I'd 13% recommend that [21:34] dude I have no idea how it was before lol [21:34] I just know that choosing the hard drive kubuntu is on doesn't boot kubuntu [21:35] yeah same here I don't know I'm doing 30% of the time when I'm fixing something in the BIOS. seriously. like there was this setting to change between hardware and software controlled, I was setting that like a random binary digit [21:36] if you asked me what it was set to after booting I wouldn't've known [21:38] hmmm [21:38] I mean i can just instlal the whole thing again I guess [21:39] see that's another thing. windows has the recovery partition in that hard drive. [21:39] I don't wanna mess THAT up if I reinstall [21:39] oyyyyy. [21:44] guess I'll just wait until someone can help me with that hmmm [21:44] or do I contiue. [22:09] ok I really don't know what to do. Can't boot to windows, can't boot to kubuntu [22:09] ugh. [22:09] I think the boot repair tool is messed up. for my needs anyway === tensorphase is now known as Tensorphase [22:33] sooo I need help have grub figure out I have a windows installtion [23:43] `sudo update-grub` always works in my experience [23:43] but jrss needs to stick around!
