[05:20] 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] In most distros it connects to the wifi before the desktop is even loaded [05:20] Any ways to fix this? [06:49] hmmm, mine connects very quickly [06:50] it's done via nm -- you can try another but I've not had good luck with that [06:50] !wifi [06:50] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:50] nekoseam: ^^^ [07:13] hey guys, why does not my live installer pickup a ssd with manufacturer windows oem lenova yoga 520 [07:13] trying to resize windows partition so I can dual boot. [07:14] I don't want erase the manufacturer windows oem [07:30] myst_: probably best to do your resizing with a different tool [07:30] kde partitioner or some other tool [07:30] !partition [07:30] 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 [07:39] Good mornin [07:39] g [07:43] tried with gparted but did not even show the ssd drive [07:44] terminal ran "lsblk" did not register [07:45] Over the years I have used kde-partiion editor, gparted and others, never a problem. [07:46] 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. [07:47] If so what do I need to do to modify it [07:50] What kind of SSD is it? Nvme? [07:51] The live ISO might not have those drivers available. [07:54] yes nvme [07:55] ahh.. [07:55] what do i need to do to add that driver [07:55] btw thanks [07:59] There is probably a package for it. === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf [10:05] uwu [10:31] @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. [10:32] https://www.zdnet.com/article/security-researchers-discover-new-linux-backdoor-named-speakup/ [12:47] Howdy folks [14:13] @BluesKaj, Hello. How's it going today? [14:15] hey ericadams, doing fine here, how about you? [14:17] Fine fine. Another lovely Friday morning. Hopefully tie up some loose ends today and get ready for the weekend. [20:07] Pack was added by: Pack [20:11] 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. [20:16] @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. [20:20] 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. [20:21] I'm not trying to be rude. Just trying to be direct and to the point.I do appreciate any help given. [20:23] @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] And is there anything that reliably reproduces the problem or seemingly random? [20:27] 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. [20:30] I was using vnc viewer when I happened not sure if its related [20:38] It sounds like maybe video is an issue. You installed the proprietary nVidia driver. Is it active now? [20:39] 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] sudo lshw -c video will show info on the VGA controller. Look for a line that says configuration and see what driver= says. [20:40] Okay, I will as soon as I can. Currently I don't have access to the machine because it stopped responding. [20:40] I have a GTX 1060 Max-Q in this laptop so I'm using the nvidia-driver-390 package [20:40] ok [20:41] I believe I clicked 410 or 415. Is it possible that my gpu doesn't support the most recent driver? [20:43] checking [20:46] 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] 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 [20:47] Then it might not be active. I'll just have to check it in a bit. [20:53] [[[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] 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. === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
