[08:34] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:10] <k_sze[work]> If I have the vanilla ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME desktop, what should I install (and configure) to basically convert it to kubuntu with Plasma 5?
[11:19] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 @k_sze[work], There is this: https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/12/15/kde-apps-at-the-snap-of-your-fingers but maybe not ready as a daily workhorse.
 @Anarchotaoist, Not even slightly ready for production yet, so I would not suggest that in any way.
[14:51] <alekksander> my wifi adapter switches on, then off and then on again on system start resulting long delay for stable connection. could someone please look at my logs?
[15:20] <BluesKaj> alekksander, is this wifi usb dongle/adapter?
[15:20] <BluesKaj> a
[15:22] <alekksander> BluesKaj: yes it is
[15:22] <BluesKaj> alekksander, is it fairly old, over 5 yrs?
[15:24] <BluesKaj> i have one that takes up to 1 minute to connect and it's 10 yrs old
[15:24] <alekksander> but it used to work fine. only later after system upgrade it got corrupted, system was looking for something else than wlan0 (or whatever it was) and i had to manually chane some file and fix the name. but before i realized how to fix it i tried a bunch of other things… ofc not writing it down and be able to consciously revert changes it resulted in problem i've already described
[15:25] <BluesKaj> i 've looked in the logs ,but they don't show much
[15:27] <BluesKaj> do you recall the file , was? it in network-manager.conf
[15:27] <BluesKaj> oops
[15:27] <alekksander> i think among other things i wrote somewhere to force start it. but file names. sorry, not remembering :(

[15:30] <alekksander> https://i.imgur.com/02zMAFx.png
[15:31] <BluesKaj> well ,it shows the wlan turning of and on again but there no file reference to go by
[15:31] <alekksander> so if You want to disable network adapter, what might be good places to manually do it?
[15:32] <BluesKaj> alekksander, changed managed to true in the network manager file
[15:32] <BluesKaj> then save it
[15:32] <alekksander> BluesKaj: done. let me reboot
[15:32] <BluesKaj> don't disable nm
[15:36] <alekksander> BluesKaj: unfortunately that wasn't it
[15:36] <alekksander> is there a place where systemd decides which hardware will run?
[15:37] <BluesKaj> you left before I could mention , install ifupdown
[15:38] <alekksander> it is installed
[17:20] <Piraty> hi there. in the installer, all fields to handle partitions are grey, why is that? (using the graphical installer from a booted live 18.04 kubuntu)
[17:21] <Piraty> and i'm unable to set mountpoint for the efi partition, is taht intended?
[17:29] <Piraty> ah, official doc says esp mountpoint is set automatically by installer. would be fine to state that in the installer iteself
 Hi every1 I came here to find a answer on huge problem 4 me. ANy1 online?
 When I install kubuntu on pendrive , I can move pendrive to another pc and just use it again . Here is another problem . I got samsung harddrive t5 and after installing kubuntu on it , windows cant acces it ( normaly windows was telling me to wipe out pendrive in order to use it. But this time it doesnt even show it ) Discmanager on windows see it at 250 gb harddrive resized on 2 parts ( as it is ) . In devices manager it see
 It wouldnt be a problem , if another pc's would boot kubuntu from it
 I need this harddrive to boot kubuntu on my mian pc and laptop
 Laptop doesnt see harddrive in windows ( see it as cd's reader" and in bios it just open windows even if I set to boot FROM this harddrive
 Any1 help pls?
 I got kubuntu 18.04 lvm on it and around 50 gb of data
 Did I somehow fuc*ed up drivers of this harddrive and its unusable on anothers pc ( I am booted from this harddrive right know ) or whats going on ?
 I can boot kubuntu from pendrive without any problems on another pc
[22:34] <[Relic]> do each of the computers see it in the BIOS?
 yep
 both computers see it in bios
 I can boot it on my main pc but on laptop I cant
[22:35] <[Relic]> UEFI on both or legacy on one?
 to be honest....
 legacy I guess
 I never did open bios on my main pc since it have boot menu
 Give me 2 min to check it
[22:37] <[Relic]> I ran into a problem when one was uefi and another was legacy and the usb drive would crap out when it looked for the other
 Legacy+uefi
 (Photo, 1280x622) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/j6ViKxC0/file_11489.jpg
 And just 1 more question
[22:42] <[Relic]> that's on both the computers you were using?
 To be honest . Hp doesn't allow me to change that
 I don't see what's on
 Sru
 Sry*
 Main legacy+uefi
 Laptop legacy
 (Photo, 1280x622) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/Ncekpj0m/file_11490.jpg
 Should I change it ?
[22:46] <[Relic]> you could try changing it and see if the hd shows up then
 On main pc in boot menu I got option 'ubuntu ' . It appeared after installing Ubuntu first time on pendrive . If I choose harddrive where I got installed kubuntu on my main pc , it show me error that this is not proper device to run system
 Did I do something wrong with that ?
[22:48] <[Relic]> so you are trying to dual boot windows and kubuntu
 I got kubuntu installed on harddrive
 external harddrive
 and on every pc I got , there is win 10 as main system installed on "C" = internal harddrive
 Only 1 there is in pc
 I could boot kubuntu from pendrive without any problems
 but I cant from harddrive
[22:52] <[Relic]> haven't done that before but I think you are looking for something like this ->  https://www.dionysopoulos.me/portable-ubuntu-on-usb-hdd/
 I dont think u get what I trying to say Or I am tired as hell and write stupid stuff
 I made bootable pendrive with kubuntu as live cd to install it
 I booted it on my pc ( it was just an iso to install kubuntu ) and I did install it on my harddrive
[22:53] <[Relic]> ok
 its working
 but other pc's see harddrive in bios
 but cant boot from it
[22:54] <[Relic]> ok
 When I click in boot menu "ubuntu" on my main pc it boot from it
 but when I choose just an harddrive it says that its not proper device
 No errors , no logs , nothing
 Thats why I ask
 what I did wrong
 is it only legacy or uefi ?
 I did same isntall with old pendrive
 it was working perfect
 on every pc
 but slow cuz its pendrive
[22:58] <[Relic]> so it is on your main computer and you want to access it from another computer?
 yep
[22:59] <[Relic]> from the screen shots one is uefi and one is legacy, try turing the legacy to uefi and check
 When I connect harddrive via usb-a 3.0 on my main pc , I can boot from it
 thx
 I want to move hardrvie to another pc
 which uefi?
 There are 2
 Hybrid or native?
[23:00] <[Relic]> I'd just try the first one to see
 I am noob when it coms to linux etc . Thats why I trying to learn some more
 thx
 Btw
 Will I still be able to boot windows?
[23:01] <[Relic]> think the hybrid should work, but not sure on every computer type
[23:01] <[Relic]> I have seen some very strange things done with computers
 What I mean ?
 So is it safe to turn on uefi or not ?
 It's not my pc . It's my friend and he got + 100 GB files on it but I got my files too so I fought to not trash his stuff and just boot kubuntu
 Will windows be safe with that ?
 Will I be able to boot it
[23:05] <[Relic]> trying to find something on hp forums to check, win 7 or 8?
 10
 Came with 7
 Hp elite book
 Elite book 840 g1
 (Photo, 622x1280) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/nWDjUAR1/file_11491.jpg
 People are saying it's not safe :(
 Is it true ?
[23:13] <[Relic]> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04201984  <- reading this right now, but not sure; I would be worried about it without a very good look through, you might want to try the hp support/forums as they would be more knowledgable in their products
[23:16] <[Relic]> my guess is you would need to make a legacy install or upgrade the legacy to UEFI for windows which seems to be a hot topic on the hp site
 I'll read more about it . Thz
[23:21] <[Relic]> if you have access to an older legacy computer you could make a legacy install of kubuntu, which might be faster solution
 If I should be honest with u , i have no idea what are u talking about . Sorry but I am noob
 I just wanted to learn stuff and now it came out I can damage some1's pc like that
[23:23] <[Relic]> everyone starts somewhere, and best to find out before you do it
 But still . Thx 4 ur time <3 .I couldn't get help anywhere
 Ye0
[23:24] <[Relic]> most of europe is near sleeping time I think right now
 02 am here
 Kubuntu best distro
