[13:07] I have to boot stupid windows shit to copy files in it... :( [13:08] could be a windows read/write permissions issue [13:08] Velizar Peshev, windows 10 [13:12] Velizar, turn off fast startup or what the feature is called in Windows [13:12] It only hibernates the disk, doesnt properly unmount it, which is why it is read-only in Linux [13:13] another trick is to select reboot in windows, and interupt it at the bios/uefi post. [13:14] interesting hateball, oddly enough I used to have a similar issue with W7 [13:15] 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] but since windows 8 this fast startup has been a feature that guarentees that it is a problem :p [13:15] ok [13:16] same thing can happen on linux really, which typically triggers an fsck on the next boot [13:17] I wasn't the primaryuser on W7, it was my wife's pc [14:55] Guys I need to reinstall my Windows 10 but I'm afraid of losing my Kubuntu mbr [14:55] Is command grub-install /dev/sda will fix mbr completely? [14:55] And will I am able to run the two OSes after install Windows? [15:35] does agios still hangout here? [15:38] hello [15:39] i've recently installed kubuntu 18.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 13 [15:39] the resolution of the screen is 3840x2160 [15:39] and the DPI is only 96x96 [15:39] is there a way to permanently scale up the DPI ? [17:08] @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. [20:02] 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 [20:03] 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 [20:04] I told him to go to GRUB and we tried running dpkg, which installed one package with no info about what package was installed [20:05] (from the recovery mode of course) [20:05] Any ideas? [20:06] sounds like sddm isn't starting but X has [20:06] try installing another login manager? (like `gdm`) [20:06] or `lxdm` (more friendly and lighter) [20:07] jalcine: how do I install another login manager (from the recovery mode menu) ? [20:16] jalcine: he doesn't have ethernet and the WiFi is not up in the root shell so 'apt intall lxdm' fails [20:16] oh damn [20:16] you should be able to enable networking from the recovery menu [20:17] I'm looking at askubuntu.com and it says to 'ifconfig wlan0 up' in the root shell. Will this work? [20:17] wlan0 might not be the name of the card [20:18] a change was made to make it similar to `wlp1s0` [20:18] run `ifconfig` first to see what's available [20:19] jalcine: command 'ifconfig' is not installed on his system [20:23] jalcine: he was able to run 'service network-manager start' which turned the WiFi light on but still unable to download any software [20:28] have you run `nmcli` to confirm it's connected to a network? [20:29] that should open an CLI interface that'd let you connect/see networks (wireless, wired, etc) [20:41] jalcine: NetworkManager is not running and we are unable to start it with 'systemctl start NetworkManager.service' [20:41] because 'systemctl' does not seem to be installed on the system (!) [20:42] jubo2, it's: systemctl restart NetworkManages [20:42] NetworkManager* [20:43] diogenes_: the emergency root shell claims that 'systemctl' is not installed [20:43] try with sudo [20:43] the shell is a root shell [20:43] I can see the '#' sign in there [20:44] so I don't see what difference 'sudo' would have [20:45] is there a way to reconfigure / fix the sddm from the root shell? [20:45] coz we don't seem to be able to bring networking up [20:49] ok. now he says he has networking via connecting his phone to the USB port [21:20] 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] I was of the understanding that the SDDM was only for the login screen [21:21] I now that we have access to a working system we can proceed to try to fix the SDDM somehow (maybe later) [21:29] Thanks for your help jalcine and diogenes_ [21:29] I need to catch some shut-eye now and look into fixing the SDDM tomorrow [21:29] jubo2, yw [21:29] The first thing that comes to mind is to purge it and re-install it [21:29] jubo2, also it's configs [21:30] diogenes_: doesn't purge remove the configs as well [21:30] i forgot where it's configs lie, in /etc/ or /var [21:30] or someplace else [21:30] diogenes_: in /etc [21:30] ok [21:30] * diogenes_ is offline [21:30] gn
