lordievaderGood morning07:10
nanoIf I already have an EFI installation that created Windows when installing, should I do another different EFI installation to install Kubuntu?07:40
nanoThe EFI partition that created Windows 10 has 260 Mb and I think it is 100% occupied07:52
nanoSi ya tengo una instalación EFI que creó Windows durante la instalación, ¿debería hacer otra instalación EFI diferente para instalar Kubuntu?07:53

lordievaderMy /boot (efi partition) was also created by windows (IIRC), its 256M, which is more than enough for me. Still has 166M free.08:31

nanoThank you lordievader for your response, if I install the Grub on the EFI created by Windows, won't it damage that EFI? ...10:45
lordievaderIt shouldn't . Grub, unlike the Windows bootloaded, acknowledges other operating systems.10:47

nanoMy EFI partition made by the installation of Windows is 260 Mb, the Windows disk manager tells me that I have 100% available, it is something I do not understand if there is the EFI information.10:54

nanothe Windows disk manager tells me that I have 100% available, it is something I do not understand if there is the EFI information.10:55
nanoI have read something considerable about this on the web but I don't have a clear answer. I just don't want to ruin the Windows installation10:56
lordievaderHave you made a backup?10:58
nanoNop10:58
nanoI already had Kubuntu installed on the same machine, but I didn't have Windows installed, install windows and all this came10:59
nanoI had no problem with EFI before installing windows10:59
nanoAnd my only doubt is where I install Grub, I think it must be in the EFI partition that I create Windows but I'm not quite sure11:01
lordievader"All this came" what are you referring to?11:01
lordievaderIn any case make a backup before messing with these kind of things.11:02
lordievaderAfter that I'd boot up a live cd/usb and reinstall grub from there.11:03
nanoWhat I was doing was installing the GRUB where the Kubuntu installer indicated it to me, in nvme0n1, when Windows was installed I did the same, but GRUB did not appear, I entered Windows directly11:03
nanoThe EFI partition is in nvme0np111:04
nanoThe first partition11:05
lordievaderWindows installs its own bootloader, which doesn't show other OSes.11:06
lordievaderWhich is why you typically want to install Windows first, Linux (etc) second.11:06
nanoAnd the Kubuntu manual installer applies the default GRUB installation in nvme0n111:07
nanoSorry to repeat the question again. Should I install GRUB on the EFU partition made by Wundows ?. If I do not ruin the Windows startup ?11:09
nanoI have seen turorials where they create an EFI partition for Linux but I have read that there should only be a single EFI partition on the system and not two11:10
lordievaderYes. There should be only one EFI partition, it is shared among OS-es. If 260M is not enough for you (highly doubt it) you could resize it.11:11
nanoThe truth is I have no idea how much is enough for EFI, I have seen that some of them restart from 200 Mb to 1 Gb. I do not know what size the information stored in Windows EFI is11:17
nanoI am afraid that when installing there the grub overwrites data and I wrecked the Windows EFI boot, what I'm tired of starting from scratch to operating systems is a lot of work11:17
lordievaderHow much are you using now?11:18
nanoThe EFI partition is 260 GB and tells me that it has 100% available space, and I don't understand that11:22
nanoif there is 100% available space, where is the EFI information? If there is EFI information there I should indicate 90%. 80%, 60% of available space but not 100% of available space11:22
lordievader260 GB? GB?11:23
nanoSorry 260 Mb11:23
lordievaderAre you in a linux environment right now? Could you pastebin the output of `df -h`?11:23

jpjacobsHi! I've got a funny problem: after upgrading from 18.10 to 19.04, the KDE login screen freezes, unless, just after grub, I press F12, to show the text logs scrolling by, after which a normal login works19:01
jpjacobsAnybody an idea how to resolve this? (I've got a intel/nvidia hybrid gpu, previously set up with bumblebee etc)19:02
jubo2A fresh Kubuntu started asking for a password for kdewallet, without me ever setting it or doing anything (afaik) to alter the system so that it would ask for a password20:27
keithzgHuh, didn't actually notice until now that 19.04 doesn't actually detect any audio device here for my computer at work. That's . . . unfortunate.21:18
