IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Hello all! I just installed Kubuntu 18.10 on a new laptop! It looks beautiful of course, but I am having a couple of problems. The biggest - the machine will not respond to shutdown or reboot. It freezes instead. I also tried reebot in the Konsole. Freeze again! Is there a fix? Thanks! | 08:31 |
hateball | Can you switch to a tty when this happens? Or does it freeze the machine entirely? | 08:32 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> err, what is a tty? sorry! | 08:33 |
hateball | I am thinking if you could login to a tty and have a look at dmesg or ~/.xsession-errors | 08:33 |
hateball | Anarchotaoist, it is a text console, you can switch to it with ctrl+alt+f2, and back again with ctrl+alt+f1 | 08:34 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Ok. I just shut down with the physical button. I'll boot back in and give that a go. | 08:35 |
hateball | So does it freeze with the GUI still present, or does it freeze at a text console? | 08:35 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Freeze at GUI. | 08:35 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Soon as I hit shutdown or reboot it just freezes. | 08:35 |
hateball | Hmmm | 08:37 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok. I am logged back in. I just tried ctrl+alt+f2 but it does nothing. I have not tired shutdown yet. | 08:37 |
hateball | you should be able to switch to a tty, might be that your X is started on tty1 so you need to try F3 or F4 or something | 08:38 |
hateball | anyhow, you can try looking at the file ~/.xsession-errors like I said, see if there is something there | 08:39 |
hateball | it's not unusual for a GPU driver to make plasma freeze... | 08:39 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> f3 or F4 does nada either. Do I just type '~/.xsession-errors ' in a terminal? | 08:40 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> hmm, "no such file or directory" | 08:42 |
hateball | Open it with Kate | 08:42 |
hateball | so, "kate ~/.xsession-errors &" | 08:42 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok | 08:42 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok, I get an empty new file | 08:43 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> [1] 2072 in the Konsole | 08:45 |
hateball | hmmm | 08:46 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Is there anything in the BIOS that would be a problem? | 08:48 |
hateball | well, ACPI issues exist, but those typically only happens once Plasma/X is shutdown and the kernel wants to halt the machine | 08:49 |
hateball | IrcsomeBot: what GPU/Driver are you using? | 08:49 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> How do I bring that info up? | 08:50 |
hateball | Run this in a terminal: lspci -k|grep VGA -A3 | 08:51 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok, 00.02 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07) subsys: Xiaomi UHD Graphics 620 Kernal driver in use i915 kernal moduls: 1915 | 08:56 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Now I just lost trackpad control also!😥 | 08:56 |
hateball | hmmm | 08:57 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Should I just try re-installing? | 08:57 |
hateball | IrcsomeBot: you can also run "dmesg" and look for any lines containing errors | 08:57 |
hateball | Anarchotaoist ^ | 08:57 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok, there is a lot of info. Which part would be pertinent? | 08:59 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Can I pastebin it? I logged back in yet again and have mouse function. | 09:07 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I just got a notification "Proprietary drivers may be necessary to enable function" - or something like that. | 09:09 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Switching to Nvidia seems to have resolved the issue! | 09:29 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> I will try a bit more testing, but reboot via the Konsole has worked! yay! | 09:29 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> ok, reboot from the application dashboard work also! | 09:30 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> Ok, here's a weird one! Right clicking somehow without hitting anything has brought up a three sticky notes onto the desktop. I cannot delete them! 🙁 Uninstalling from Discover wants it to also erase about 20 other pieces of software. How can I delete them? Thanks. | 11:08 |
hateball | Anarchotaoist, are you still here? | 11:32 |
hateball | If so, you hold down the left mouse button when clicking a sticky note to get a menu where you can remove it | 11:33 |
IrcsomeBot | <Anarchotaoist> @hateball, 🙏 | 11:52 |
hateball | Not sure what that is supposed to be, a sign my font doesnt support :p | 11:59 |
hateball | I only see a square | 11:59 |
BluesKaj | Hi folks | 12:47 |
=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life | ||
drecondius | Ok, I'm having an issue here that doesn't appear in ubuntu Mate and just Ubuntu but does here in Kubuntu. I have an Alienware 14 with 3 3.5 mm jacks, Headphones, Mic, and Headset. The headset port isn't working in kubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 | 17:09 |
BluesKaj | drecondius, open alsamixer and increase the volume in the headphone vol ctrl, also make sure automute is disabled, you'll find that on the far right | 17:16 |
BluesKaj | any vol ctrls that have MM in the box are muted , use the M key to unmute them if needed | 17:18 |
drecondius | i've installed and since removed it and there is nothing affecting anything in Kubuntu, but, like I said, it's working in the live environment and install base of Ubuntu and Mate flavors | 17:19 |
drecondius | so the gui didn't even touch the configs it would seem. | 17:21 |
drecondius | ok, now the only sound device,after reboot, is the hdmi .... | 17:39 |
n0yd | Hey guys, I am sure I can figure this out, but am a little rusty in this area and wanted to know if there is a recommended solution | 17:51 |
n0yd | My problem is this. I have an HP Envy laptop, dual booting windows 10 and kubuntu 18.10. At some point windows decided to take over as the primary boot, so I can only get into kubuntu by hitting ESC on boot and then choosing the partiution contating kubuntu and yusing grub to boot the kernel | 17:52 |
n0yd | How do I go about getting grub back full time and also using it to boot windows | 17:53 |
* Perdellian finds themself doubtful of this snappy thing | 22:36 | |
IrcsomeBot | <Valoriez> @perdellian snaps are great for checking out new apps | 23:13 |
IrcsomeBot | <Valoriez> I prefer actual packages for daily use though | 23:14 |
keithzg[m] | Snaps are also great for carrying the whole deb vs rpm thing into a fresh new realm of new competing packaging formats! ;) | 23:15 |
