I don't have a CD/USB available. How can I dualboot without CD/USB? [05:09] user|48956, your question is not "How can I dualboot without CD/USB?" but "how do i install without CD/USB". [05:11] Any reason you prefer 18.04 ? 20.04 is available now [05:11] You can download the ISO ( of your version choice ) and burn it to a DVD. I don't think it will fit in a CD [05:12] hello :diogenes [05:16] 20.04 is not available for 32 bit systems [05:16] diogenes_ you are right. === Katnip is now known as katnip [05:21] didn't read properly [05:22] I cannot think anything but network install [05:22] I haven't tried myself though. === sumit_ is now known as darkchoclate__ === me is now known as Guest6936 [06:16] Good morning [07:36] luisele was added by: luisele === OneBTS_ is now known as OneBTS === wallbreaker_ is now known as wallbreaker [08:39] hello === pascal is now known as Guest22230 [09:31] when I install nvidia 304 driver on kubuntu 18, the startx does not start. what shoud i do? === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [10:52] 'Morning all [12:08] when I install nvidia 304 driver on kubuntu 18, the startx does not start. what shoud i do?

[16:51] Setting up the Kubuntu right now. How do I change the position of Volume-OSD (now it appears in the center of the screen)? And the most important thing - how to replace the appearance of this OSD to show the volume percentage? … I have already set the volume control with LAlt+MouseWheel. [17:07] @Ridbowt, Volume OSD feedback does not have an "easy to configure" location setting. However, newer versions of plasma (5.19) have reduced it's size. And the ability to toggle between value and percent was lost in transition from KDE 4 to KDE 5 if memory serves correctly. [17:09] So, if you have any coding background and really want those features, you could "submit a patch". I too would like to be able to configure such item, but I do not have enough coding experience to fix and submit a patch. [17:13] @DarinMiller, Thank you for the answer! I'm a little upset (okay, not a little 😂) that it's impossible to turn on the percent display when you adjust the volume. If it were possible to change the theme of this OSD to another theme with percentage bar... [17:15] And no, I'm not a coder... [17:18] Volume percents are tricky as max volumes have "hardware max" that can be overridden. So for simplicity of maintenance, I can see why the devs chose to avoid such feedback. However, so many things are easily configurable in KDE, one would expect similar flexibility in volume feedback. [17:19] Another approach would be to file a bug/feature request. Many of these interfaces are under active development and may be quickly addressed if brought to the devs attention. [17:20] Also, if you want to "sponsor" a dev to add the feature, I will assist with the sponsorship and participate in the implementation testing and feedback loop. [17:25] @DarinMiller, Once again, thank you for your detailed answers. But I'm a simple user, never been so deeply involved in development. I just like to customize the system. 😄 [17:29] Filing a bug report is very easy for us "mortals" (bugs.kde.org). Unlike big corporations, we can actually communicate with devs. As long as we willing the help them help us, they are very receptive. [17:29] Have you seen Nate's website? https://pointieststick.com/ [17:31] The KDE devs are awesome and are open to new ideas. Granted, their resources are limited, so patience is often required when fixing bugs and requesting new features. [17:57] (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/wkAV7bHY/file_30547.jpg I love kubuntu and KDE [18:02] @DarinMiller, I don't often read developer blogs in English (as you noticed, my English is not exactly native). Usually I read technical articles: put this code in the terminal, enter the sudo password, press Ctrl+X, and so on. 😄 But yes, honor and praise to the developers! It's a good thing they do! [18:03] pandanesthesia was added by: pandanesthesia [18:07] @Ridbowt , check your system tray>configure system tray>and set the audio volume icon to your prefernce there, it should use the volume % when the cursor is passed over the icon [18:09] and it can be set if clicked on [18:16] @DarinMiller, I find it very lucky that we can communicate with our favourite desktop Devs and they also ask us our opinion. [18:18] @nash_g5, I fully agree! [18:20] @BluesKaj, I did not realize that hover scroll on the sys tray volume icon showed the percentage. Good to know. (my keyboard has a volume "roller" which I use 99% of the time).

[18:51] i don't know why but lately i've been having intermittent issues of kwin going to 100% cpu in 18.04. any clues? [18:52] `kwin --replace` has no effect [18:54] err kwin_x11 actually. curious. [18:55] oh well [18:55] wxl, kwin_x11 is the offending process? [18:56] And killing kwin_x11 without restarting fixed the CPU usage, but goes to 100% on when started? === RoeyYallaNuKvar is now known as BuyRoeyACintiq [19:05] @DarinMiller yep yep and nope actually [19:07] kwin_x11 is also a bit "flckery" and requires a restart on 20.04, but has not exhibited excess cpu usage (yet). [19:07] sigh i should probably just upgrade blah [19:08] Flickering seems to occur when exiting a vulkan game under wine/proton. kwin_x11 —replace "fixes" it. [19:13] i am using nomachine to connect remotely and i'm also using virtualbox, so those could be culprits [19:14] interestingly a logout/login cycle seems to have helped [19:14] nomachine was never disconnected, admittedly, and restarting virtualbox never helped [19:14] * wxl shrugs [19:28] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mN09BgMsW8 [19:46] this device should work with linux, shouldn't it?
