[05:20] <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?
[06:49] <valorie> hmmm, mine connects very quickly
[06:50] <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] <valorie> nekoseam: ^^^
[07:13] <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.
[07:14] <myst_> I don't want erase the manufacturer windows oem
[07:30] <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
[07:39] <lordievader> Good mornin
[07:39] <lordievader> g
[07:43] <myst_> tried with gparted but did not even show the ssd drive
[07:44] <myst_> terminal ran "lsblk" did not register
[07:45] <myst_> Over the years I have used kde-partiion editor, gparted and others, never a problem.
[07:46] <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.
[07:47] <myst_> If so what do I need to do to modify it
[07:50] <lordievader> What kind of SSD is it? Nvme?
[07:51] <lordievader> The live ISO might not have those drivers available.
[07:54] <myst_> yes nvme
[07:55] <myst_> ahh..
[07:55] <myst_> what do i need to do to add that driver
[07:55] <myst_> btw thanks
[07:59] <lordievader> There is probably a package for it.
[10:05] <nekoseam> uwu
 @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.

[12:47] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
 @BluesKaj, Hello. How's it going today?
[14:15] <BluesKaj> hey ericadams, doing fine here, how about you?
 Fine fine. Another lovely Friday morning. Hopefully tie up some loose ends today and get ready for the weekend.
[20:07] <IrcsomeBot1> Pack was added by: 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.
 @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.
 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.
 I'm not trying to be rude. Just trying to be direct and to the point.I do appreciate any help given.
 @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?
 And is there anything that reliably reproduces the problem or seemingly random?
 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.
 I was using vnc viewer when I happened not sure if its related
 It sounds like maybe video is an issue. You installed the proprietary nVidia driver. Is it active now?
 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.
 sudo lshw -c video will show info on the VGA controller. Look for a line that says configuration and see what driver= says.
 Okay, I will as soon as I can. Currently I don't have access to the machine because it stopped responding.
 I have a GTX 1060 Max-Q in this laptop so I'm using the nvidia-driver-390 package
 ok
 I believe I clicked 410 or 415. Is it possible that my gpu doesn't support the most recent driver?
 checking
 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.
 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
 Then it might not be active. I'll just have to check it in a bit.
 [[[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.
