| nekoseam | Hey so Kubuntu tries to connect automatically to my wifi but it either doesn't work or takes very long. Disconnecting and re-connecting is a lot faster | 05:20 |
|---|---|---|
| nekoseam | In most distros it connects to the wifi before the desktop is even loaded | 05:20 |
| nekoseam | Any ways to fix this? | 05:20 |
| valorie | hmmm, mine connects very quickly | 06:49 |
| valorie | it's done via nm -- you can try another but I've not had good luck with that | 06:50 |
| valorie | !wifi | 06:50 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:50 |
| valorie | nekoseam: ^^^ | 06:50 |
| myst_ | hey guys, why does not my live installer pickup a ssd with manufacturer windows oem lenova yoga 520 | 07:13 |
| myst_ | trying to resize windows partition so I can dual boot. | 07:13 |
| myst_ | I don't want erase the manufacturer windows oem | 07:14 |
| valorie | myst_: probably best to do your resizing with a different tool | 07:30 |
| valorie | kde partitioner or some other tool | 07:30 |
| valorie | !partition | 07:30 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap | 07:30 |
| lordievader | Good mornin | 07:39 |
| lordievader | g | 07:39 |
| myst_ | tried with gparted but did not even show the ssd drive | 07:43 |
| myst_ | terminal ran "lsblk" did not register | 07:44 |
| myst_ | Over the years I have used kde-partiion editor, gparted and others, never a problem. | 07:45 |
| myst_ | This is the first time I'm using a Pc with SSd, I'm wondering due to the Windows & lenovo OEM, is it hidden so I cant modify it. | 07:46 |
| myst_ | If so what do I need to do to modify it | 07:47 |
| lordievader | What kind of SSD is it? Nvme? | 07:50 |
| lordievader | The live ISO might not have those drivers available. | 07:51 |
| myst_ | yes nvme | 07:54 |
| myst_ | ahh.. | 07:55 |
| myst_ | what do i need to do to add that driver | 07:55 |
| myst_ | btw thanks | 07:55 |
| lordievader | There is probably a package for it. | 07:59 |

| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> @myst_, Do you have more than one disk in the system? You have to choose the disk from the drop down, I think at the top right. You can also try running lsblk from a terminal. It should show you all the disks and partitions. | 10:31 |

| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:47 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> @BluesKaj, Hello. How's it going today? | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | hey ericadams, doing fine here, how about you? | 14:15 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> Fine fine. Another lovely Friday morning. Hopefully tie up some loose ends today and get ready for the weekend. | 14:17 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | Pack was added by: Pack | 20:07 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I've noticed that my kububtu has been having some issues with my mouse and keyboard. Every so often it would seem like the kde is stuck on something. I can move the mouse but, nothing else works. | 20:11 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> @Pack, Are there any processes running that are taking up a lot of the CPU, memory or using the disk? You can check with ksysguard. | 20:16 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> Just firefox ,steam in background and, a konsole. I don't think resources are the issue though. 2 hdd, 1ssd, 16gb ram, i7-8700 and, gtx 1070. I did some research and I came up with it might have to do with bad GPU drivers. So, I installed a proprietary driver but, not sure if that did much at all. | 20:20 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I'm not trying to be rude. Just trying to be direct and to the point.I do appreciate any help given. | 20:21 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> @Pack, Yeah, no worries. If it's not processor or disk bound then driver would probably be my next step too. Is there only a dGPU or is it a hybrid like a laptop? | 20:23 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> And is there anything that reliably reproduces the problem or seemingly random? | 20:23 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> Just random and it did the same thing in virtualbox. It's a desktop with a dgpu. I've been fixing the issue by resetting my PC but, that's not a reliable method. | 20:27 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I was using vnc viewer when I happened not sure if its related | 20:30 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> It sounds like maybe video is an issue. You installed the proprietary nVidia driver. Is it active now? | 20:38 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I go to the driver manager and under the nvidia driver I click the highest number and click apply then okay. It moves back to the old driver but, I assumed it was active. | 20:39 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> sudo lshw -c video will show info on the VGA controller. Look for a line that says configuration and see what driver= says. | 20:39 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> Okay, I will as soon as I can. Currently I don't have access to the machine because it stopped responding. | 20:40 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> I have a GTX 1060 Max-Q in this laptop so I'm using the nvidia-driver-390 package | 20:40 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> ok | 20:40 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I believe I clicked 410 or 415. Is it possible that my gpu doesn't support the most recent driver? | 20:41 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> checking | 20:43 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> I took a linux class , learned about the cli, groups and, file perms , last semester and, I decided to take the leap and move over because of all the good things I heard about it. The gaming portion of linux is worrying me because I bought the 1070 for that specific reason. | 20:46 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> According to nVidia's website, the GTX 1070 should work with any of the 390, 410 or 415 drivers. https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 20:46 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <Pack> Then it might not be active. I'll just have to check it in a bit. | 20:47 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | <ericadams> [[[It a](https://lutris.net/)[[It a]](https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/)[It a](https://www.winehq.org/)It actually works pretty well and there have big advances lately. Valve released [Steam Play](https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561) which lets you run many AAA Windows games natively. Wine 4 includes support for Vulcan and there are things like Lutris. I thnk you'll be fine. Just know that | 20:53 |
| IrcsomeBot1 | one of the biggest pain points on Linux is driver support, particularly nVidia. It works and works well but it can be a pain to get there. | 20:53 |
