| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> Guys I have dual boot windows 10 and kubuntu 18.04 lts but in kubuntu my windows drive is always read only.. how to make it write enabled? | 13:06 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> I have to boot stupid windows shit to copy files in it... :( | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | could be a windows read/write permissions issue | 13:08 |
| diogenes_ | Velizar Peshev, windows 10 | 13:08 |
| hateball | Velizar, turn off fast startup or what the feature is called in Windows | 13:12 |
| hateball | It only hibernates the disk, doesnt properly unmount it, which is why it is read-only in Linux | 13:12 |
| Javabean | another trick is to select reboot in windows, and interupt it at the bios/uefi post. | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | interesting hateball, oddly enough I used to have a similar issue with W7 | 13:14 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: windows can mark the ntfs partition dirty for various reasons if it doesnt shut down cleanly, which would give the same problem | 13:15 |
| hateball | but since windows 8 this fast startup has been a feature that guarentees that it is a problem :p | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 13:15 |
| hateball | same thing can happen on linux really, which typically triggers an fsck on the next boot | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | I wasn't the primaryuser on W7, it was my wife's pc | 13:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> Guys I need to reinstall my Windows 10 but I'm afraid of losing my Kubuntu mbr | 14:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> Is command grub-install /dev/sda will fix mbr completely? | 14:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Velizar Peshev> And will I am able to run the two OSes after install Windows? | 14:55 |
| thxffo | does agios still hangout here? | 15:35 |
| sekisushai | hello | 15:38 |
| sekisushai | i've recently installed kubuntu 18.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 13 | 15:39 |
| sekisushai | the resolution of the screen is 3840x2160 | 15:39 |
| sekisushai | and the DPI is only 96x96 | 15:39 |
| sekisushai | is there a way to permanently scale up the DPI ? | 15:39 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> @sekisushai, Dpi can be found in system settings under font. I recommend 144 our 168 but set as needed. Restart plasma or logout/login to ensure new dpi it's applied everywhere. | 17:08 |
| jubo2 | Hi. A frind is having a Kubuntu 18.04.1 that is broken in such a way that at the end of the boot there is just a blinking text-mode cursor in the upper-left corner and the mouse cursor is there and moves with the mouse movements | 20:02 |
| jubo2 | I don't know what has gone wrong with it. He says he didn't touch any system settings nor did he upgrade anything before the system broke | 20:03 |
| jubo2 | I told him to go to GRUB and we tried running dpkg, which installed one package with no info about what package was installed | 20:04 |
| jubo2 | (from the recovery mode of course) | 20:05 |
| jubo2 | Any ideas? | 20:05 |
| jalcine | sounds like sddm isn't starting but X has | 20:06 |
| jalcine | try installing another login manager? (like `gdm`) | 20:06 |
| jalcine | or `lxdm` (more friendly and lighter) | 20:06 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: how do I install another login manager (from the recovery mode menu) ? | 20:07 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: he doesn't have ethernet and the WiFi is not up in the root shell so 'apt intall lxdm' fails | 20:16 |
| jalcine | oh damn | 20:16 |
| jalcine | you should be able to enable networking from the recovery menu | 20:16 |
| jubo2 | I'm looking at askubuntu.com and it says to 'ifconfig wlan0 up' in the root shell. Will this work? | 20:17 |
| jalcine | wlan0 might not be the name of the card | 20:17 |
| jalcine | a change was made to make it similar to `wlp1s0` | 20:18 |
| jalcine | run `ifconfig` first to see what's available | 20:18 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: command 'ifconfig' is not installed on his system | 20:19 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: he was able to run 'service network-manager start' which turned the WiFi light on but still unable to download any software | 20:23 |
| jalcine | have you run `nmcli` to confirm it's connected to a network? | 20:28 |
| jalcine | that should open an CLI interface that'd let you connect/see networks (wireless, wired, etc) | 20:29 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: NetworkManager is not running and we are unable to start it with 'systemctl start NetworkManager.service' | 20:41 |
| jubo2 | because 'systemctl' does not seem to be installed on the system (!) | 20:41 |
| diogenes_ | jubo2, it's: systemctl restart NetworkManages | 20:42 |
| diogenes_ | NetworkManager* | 20:42 |
| jubo2 | diogenes_: the emergency root shell claims that 'systemctl' is not installed | 20:43 |
| diogenes_ | try with sudo | 20:43 |
| jubo2 | the shell is a root shell | 20:43 |
| jubo2 | I can see the '#' sign in there | 20:43 |
| jubo2 | so I don't see what difference 'sudo' would have | 20:44 |
| jubo2 | is there a way to reconfigure / fix the sddm from the root shell? | 20:45 |
| jubo2 | coz we don't seem to be able to bring networking up | 20:45 |
| jubo2 | ok. now he says he has networking via connecting his phone to the USB port | 20:49 |
| jubo2 | jalcine: ok. we managed to turn on the networking (in the recovery menu (dohh)) and installed LXDM and it started ok. Now the desktop environment is wholly different | 21:20 |
| jubo2 | I was of the understanding that the SDDM was only for the login screen | 21:20 |
| jubo2 | I now that we have access to a working system we can proceed to try to fix the SDDM somehow (maybe later) | 21:21 |
| jubo2 | Thanks for your help jalcine and diogenes_ | 21:29 |
| jubo2 | I need to catch some shut-eye now and look into fixing the SDDM tomorrow | 21:29 |
| diogenes_ | jubo2, yw | 21:29 |
| jubo2 | The first thing that comes to mind is to purge it and re-install it | 21:29 |
| diogenes_ | jubo2, also it's configs | 21:29 |
| jubo2 | diogenes_: doesn't purge remove the configs as well | 21:30 |
| diogenes_ | i forgot where it's configs lie, in /etc/ or /var | 21:30 |
| diogenes_ | or someplace else | 21:30 |
| jubo2 | diogenes_: in /etc | 21:30 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 21:30 |
| * diogenes_ is offline | 21:30 | |
| jubo2 | gn | 21:30 |
