[01:34] how can I install kubuntu on a second drive within windows 10 [01:34] my usb drives have stuff on them so [01:35] I cant just make a bootable usb [06:15] Good morning [08:14] 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? [08:16] Snorghma, etcher. [08:17] 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] ok cool thanks [09:20] Snorghma: if already on Linux then there's also the dd command... === bartek__ is now known as Tschew [09:27] 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? [09:50] 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 [09:59] 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) [10:13] Buongiorno a tutti: sono nuovo della Community [10:30] have Problem with 19.10, plasma not starting [10:38] 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] basically cripples performance. [10:42] back now to 19.04 and no problem to boot [10:58] Were you actually using the intel xorg driver though? Having both installed the modesetting driver is still preferred. [11:38] 'Morning folks === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [14:11] lordievader: Yes, I was. It looks like the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver will still take precedence. [14:11] ... if it is installed. [14:11] Things are running very smoothly now. [14:13] So good in fact, that I feel like throwing the Macbook I have to use for work in the bin. [17:08] 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? [17:10] hi [17:10] Hello Alabalistic [17:11] You change the drives and you want the exact copy of is ? [17:11] or you want a new install and the same /home [17:12] 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] I did use a dd to make a copy of my old disk to my new ssd [17:12] Your bad sectors were detected with SMART [17:13] Yes and i ran e2fsck and fsck on each partition as well [17:13] if so this mean there is no data loss [17:13] is it a Laptop or a PC [17:13] Desktop [17:14] Old drive is 1tb, new is 2tb [17:15] 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] and the transfer speed was 100 MB / S, when you do it you still have your old drive as a backup [17:16] next step is to open gparted and expand your partition or make another as you wish [17:16] Hmmm i am going to pick the new drive up later from the post office, I wonder of it came with a connector [17:17] do you have a CD rom? use his SATA cabel [17:17] Ohhhhh good idea!! [17:18] 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] What do you mean by do not mix the old with the new [17:19] if you swich your if - input file and of output file, then you gonna write zeros on your old HDD [17:20] do you know the Linux disks sda sdb sdc1 [17:20] mmc [17:20] Ohhhh ok I understand what you mean. [17:21] Make sure I dont overwrite my old drive with the new one [17:21] yes [17:22] but the speed is great, otherwise with usb cable there is days of waiting, just plug them direct on the motherboard [17:23] dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4M [17:23] 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] 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 [17:24] I will make sure i know which is which before copying [17:25] this is the block size, some use 100 some 32 some others [17:25] Just running e2fsck on a 1tb drive took 20 hours [17:25] its not so clear depends of the size of the files, what I know 4M is kind of default [17:26] Ah ok [17:27] 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] 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] Ok will do [17:27] If I was you I will do a fresh install [17:28] on the new drive [17:28] Yes that is probably a better idea [17:28] Since i backed up my data. I have Kubuntu 19.04 on a bootable usb ready to go [17:30] Is it safer to make seperate partitions for home, root, and swap? That is what I have done in the past [17:30] And then another seperate partition for file storage [17:33] Yes I do the same [17:34] if your files are important it is better to keep it under your home dir [17:34] Ok ty [17:35] and if you have more then one disk in your computer do the swap 50 - 50 [17:35] linux use the faster swap file [17:35] 50% on each drive? [17:35] yes [17:35] Interesting, okay [17:35] is a bug im kubuntu 19.10 ? After boot I have only a black screen with the cursor, No more actions are visable [17:36] Eh: very possible, its not even in beta yet [17:38] I have a nvidia card with nvidia-390. No I am back to 19.04 and all is function excellent [17:42] Have you tried booting 19.10 with the grub option -nomodeset [17:43] I heard it comes with nvidia support, but I dont know if that includes whay you have [17:54] !19.10 [17:54] Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) will be the 31st release of Ubuntu, scheduled for October 2019 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be supported for nine months. [17:54] !ubuntu+1 [17:54] Eoan Ermine is the codename for Ubuntu 19.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [17:54] eh: ^ [17:55] generally, don't expect proprieary drivers to work on pre-alpha releases [19:19] Hi [19:55] Hi, I need help for this issue https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/drsvR2NXZD/ I can't open a old program with new java i suppose...
