| kekchup | how can I install kubuntu on a second drive within windows 10 | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| kekchup | my usb drives have stuff on them so | 01:34 |
| kekchup | I cant just make a bootable usb | 01:35 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 06:15 |
| Snorghma | hi kubuntu people, what do you all use to make bootable iso's? I need to make a new usb bootable to put on a laptop using a usb stick. What software do you all use for this? | 08:14 |
| diogenes_ | Snorghma, etcher. | 08:16 |
| Snorghma | the ubuntu page suggests Startup Disk Creator but this is 1) gnome and 2) uses an iso 9660 fs which seems to be an issue for me | 08:17 |
| Snorghma | ok cool thanks | 08:17 |
| M_aD | Snorghma: if already on Linux then there's also the dd command... | 09:20 |

| jimtendo | Hi all, was hoping someone may've bumped into this before: I use a Lenovo X1 Carbon and run Kubuntu 19.04. However, I've had long-standing issues with the Compositor if I try to use OpenGL (2.0 or 3.1) in that my desktop becomes very laggy to render anything. Using XRender (which, as I understand, disables many compositing effects and delegates the work to CPU) seems okay. Does anyone have any idea what the cause might be or if there is any fix? | 09:27 |
| xtavras-M | Hi, I have some strange problem, I've used nouveau drivers on my laptop, then I wanted to try nvidia, but didn't like it, so I#ve removed them and installed nouveau again, but now I just boot in command line instead. if I login and run "startx" it's working, already reinstalled xserver and kubuntu-desktop, nothing. Kubuntu 18.04.2 | 09:50 |
| xtavras-M | can you help with troubleshooting, I can't se anything bad in Xorg.log and sddm looks fine (see that is starte in journalctl logs) | 09:59 |

| eh | have Problem with 19.10, plasma not starting | 10:30 |
| jimtendo | Hi all, I was here a little while ago asking about why I got such bad performance when using OpenGL + Compositing on my Thinkpad. Turns out this was due to the xserver-xorg-video-intel package. There is something in newer Kernels called "modeset" which means this package is no longer necessary for Intel Hardware. The xserver-xorg-video-intel package itself is hardly maintained any more (and should not be used with post-2007 hardware), hence it | 10:38 |
| jimtendo | basically cripples performance. | 10:38 |
| eh | back now to 19.04 and no problem to boot | 10:42 |
| lordievader | Were you actually using the intel xorg driver though? Having both installed the modesetting driver is still preferred. | 10:58 |

| jimtendo | lordievader: Yes, I was. It looks like the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver will still take precedence. | 14:11 |
| jimtendo | ... if it is installed. | 14:11 |
| jimtendo | Things are running very smoothly now. | 14:11 |
| jimtendo | So good in fact, that I feel like throwing the Macbook I have to use for work in the bin. | 14:13 |
| Oderus | Hi. Got a new hard drive, and want to put kubuntu back on my system as it was before. Are there any preperations I need to make? E2fsck or fsck before I use the kubuntu installer? | 17:08 |
| Alabalistic | hi | 17:10 |
| Oderus | Hello Alabalistic | 17:10 |
| Alabalistic | You change the drives and you want the exact copy of is ? | 17:11 |
| Alabalistic | or you want a new install and the same /home | 17:11 |
| Oderus | While that would be ideal to transfer my stuff over, I am not sure it would be possible with my previous drive having bad sectors. | 17:12 |
| Alabalistic | I did use a dd to make a copy of my old disk to my new ssd | 17:12 |
| Alabalistic | Your bad sectors were detected with SMART | 17:12 |
| Oderus | Yes and i ran e2fsck and fsck on each partition as well | 17:13 |
| Alabalistic | if so this mean there is no data loss | 17:13 |
| Alabalistic | is it a Laptop or a PC | 17:13 |
| Oderus | Desktop | 17:13 |
| Oderus | Old drive is 1tb, new is 2tb | 17:14 |
| Alabalistic | I did open the box connect two drives via SATA run a live usb and did dd bs=4M if=/sda1 of=sdb | 17:15 |
| Alabalistic | and the transfer speed was 100 MB / S, when you do it you still have your old drive as a backup | 17:15 |
| Alabalistic | next step is to open gparted and expand your partition or make another as you wish | 17:16 |
| Oderus | Hmmm i am going to pick the new drive up later from the post office, I wonder of it came with a connector | 17:16 |
| Alabalistic | do you have a CD rom? use his SATA cabel | 17:17 |
| Oderus | Ohhhhh good idea!! | 17:17 |
| Alabalistic | before pluging your new drive do a lsblk and check your current state, just do not mix the old with the new doble check | 17:18 |
| Oderus | What do you mean by do not mix the old with the new | 17:18 |
| Alabalistic | if you swich your if - input file and of output file, then you gonna write zeros on your old HDD | 17:19 |
| Alabalistic | do you know the Linux disks sda sdb sdc1 | 17:20 |
| Alabalistic | mmc | 17:20 |
| Oderus | Ohhhh ok I understand what you mean. | 17:20 |
| Oderus | Make sure I dont overwrite my old drive with the new one | 17:21 |
| Alabalistic | yes | 17:21 |
| Alabalistic | but the speed is great, otherwise with usb cable there is days of waiting, just plug them direct on the motherboard | 17:22 |
| Alabalistic | dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4M | 17:23 |
| Oderus | No I do not want to transfer that much data by usb. Sata is much faster. What does the bs=4M parameter mean | 17:23 |
| Alabalistic | this is the command if your old hdd is SDA and the new is SDB, but there can be a mix if you put it in the second slot in the mainboard | 17:23 |
| Oderus | I will make sure i know which is which before copying | 17:24 |
| Alabalistic | this is the block size, some use 100 some 32 some others | 17:25 |
| Oderus | Just running e2fsck on a 1tb drive took 20 hours | 17:25 |
| Alabalistic | its not so clear depends of the size of the files, what I know 4M is kind of default | 17:25 |
| Oderus | Ah ok | 17:26 |
| Oderus | I already moved my non operating system data to an external drive so it would just be moving the os, boot, swap, and home partitions | 17:27 |
| Alabalistic | Oderus, dd is my go to for bootable usb and all sort of things, read man dd in the terminal and use your auto completion tab | 17:27 |
| Oderus | Ok will do | 17:27 |
| Alabalistic | If I was you I will do a fresh install | 17:27 |
| Alabalistic | on the new drive | 17:28 |
| Oderus | Yes that is probably a better idea | 17:28 |
| Oderus | Since i backed up my data. I have Kubuntu 19.04 on a bootable usb ready to go | 17:28 |
| Oderus | Is it safer to make seperate partitions for home, root, and swap? That is what I have done in the past | 17:30 |
| Oderus | And then another seperate partition for file storage | 17:30 |
| Alabalistic | Yes I do the same | 17:33 |
| Alabalistic | if your files are important it is better to keep it under your home dir | 17:34 |
| Oderus | Ok ty | 17:34 |
| Alabalistic | and if you have more then one disk in your computer do the swap 50 - 50 | 17:35 |
| Alabalistic | linux use the faster swap file | 17:35 |
| Oderus | 50% on each drive? | 17:35 |
| Alabalistic | yes | 17:35 |
| Oderus | Interesting, okay | 17:35 |
| eh | is a bug im kubuntu 19.10 ? After boot I have only a black screen with the cursor, No more actions are visable | 17:35 |
| Oderus | Eh: very possible, its not even in beta yet | 17:36 |
| eh | I have a nvidia card with nvidia-390. No I am back to 19.04 and all is function excellent | 17:38 |
| Oderus | Have you tried booting 19.10 with the grub option -nomodeset | 17:42 |
| Oderus | I heard it comes with nvidia support, but I dont know if that includes whay you have | 17:43 |
