rosco_yCan anyone tell me the steps to install ubuntu on a win 10 machine so that I can use a dual-boot menu when booting?16:55
rosco_yI always wind up hitting f12 during boot to go into the system bios to select a drive to boot.16:57
rosco_ynow i want to resize a drive, make a partition and install linux on the new partition--but I'd like to do it right.16:58
tomreynrosco_y: so you're bios booting then, not uefi?17:05
rosco_ytomreyn, ty.  No, I just checked, my system is using uefi, but I don't know what that is17:06
=== garageman___ is now known as garageman
tomreynso, both bios boot and uefi boot can have a boot menu, just.. they usually work very differently.17:06
rosco_yuefi obvously being a new versio of bios?17:07
rosco_yor is that obvious at all?17:07
tomreynit's an incompatible replacement17:08
tomreynbut yes, it's newer17:08
rosco_ygroan...how can anyone keep up?17:08
tomreynto make things more difficult to understand, many mainboard firmwares support both boot mechanisms, but not at the same time, so you need to select one.17:08
rosco_ydo you recommend i select one or the other?17:09
tomreynand to make it even worse, most mainboard manufacturers refer to the mainboard firmware as "BIOS" wbven when it's a UEFI firmware17:09
tomreynwbven -> even17:09
rosco_yI ran "msinfo" which reported that my "BIOS" is uefi17:10
tomreynsee :)17:11
rosco_yseeing how I find this all so confusing, maybe I'd better skip installing linux on my machine....17:11
rosco_yI'll probably wind up with ground hamburger17:12
rosco_yIt'd be a big job to rebuild everything from scratch17:12
tomreynit's not easy to recommend one of the two to you, because they scenario you were suggesting (selecting system to boot from mainboard firmware UI generated menu when you have OSes installed on separate disks) is actually easier to achieve in a legacy BIOS boot setup.17:12
tomreynon the other hand i'd recommend UEFI for forward compatibility.17:13
rosco_yI hear what you're saying.  Safter to stick with UEFI going forward.17:13
tomreynyou shouldn't be worried about installing kubuntu on your system. if anything will destroy your ability to boot the other OS, it's be windows17:14
tomreyn*it'll be17:14
rosco_y:( That's what would take a lot of time to restore.17:14
rosco_yI'm relying on windows quite a bit, but I could try some things in linux.17:15
tomreynbut i do recommend you read up on the uefi boot process, and get an understanding of how it uses a so-called "efi system partition" with boot loaders stored on it, to boot.17:15
tomreynyour other option is to use WSL2 on windows, it's not as good a running ubuntu natively, but can still enable you to lern much.17:16
tomreyn*kubuntu17:16
rosco_yThank!  I'll do that for a while, if I get comfortable with it, I'll go ahead with it.17:16
tomreynor even run a full kubuntu with the graphical user interface in a VM17:16
tomreynsuch as under virtualbox17:16
rosco_yI can't run virtual machines because I have windows home ed17:17
tomreynyes you can17:17
tomreynjust not using microsofts hypervisor17:17
rosco_yuhm....more misunderstandings on my part--17:17
rosco_yoh, I didn't think of that!17:18
rosco_yI've used vbox in the past--I like it!17:18
rosco_yThat's what I'm going to try first here!  -- no cutting up my hard drives, no muss, no fuss!17:19
tomreyncool, good luck. you can ask virtualbox questions in #vbox, windows questions in ##windows17:19
rosco_yThanks again--I really appreciate your help!!17:20
tomreynyou're welcome17:20
tomreynnote you can also do it the other way around17:20
tomreynkubuntu -> virtualbox -> qindows 1017:20
tomreynbut maybe that's not for you, yet ;)17:21
tomreynif your hardware is good enough (enough ram, cpu from the past 5 years and not the cheapest one), and you don't need good graphics performance in windows (or have two graphics chipsets), i do recommend to try it.17:23
NitecHi, i want to add a new static interface in /etc/network/interfaces, but this file doesn't exist in 20.04 release. In release 18.x this file exists & it works as it should. How/where can i do this now in 20.04?18:13
tomreynNitec: are you using this as a desktop or server computer?18:20
Nitecdesktop18:20
tomreynNitec: configure networking using network manager18:20
tomreynif you prefer to do it from a CLI, there are nmcli and nm-tui18:21
tomreynNitec: if you need something more complex you can use netplan to write a network-manager configuration for interfaces you want configured statically, and configure those to be dynamically configured using the NM GUI/applet.18:25

IrcsomeBot<nonamex777> ы20:15
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> sry, no clue here.20:20
tomreynensure that the tthird-party software you installed is supported by its vendor on your version of kubuntu. use their support channels, contact their support.20:23
tomreynalinux: apparently you're looking for https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/212985920:28
alinuxtomreyn: my problem is that the host is not supported yet ?20:30
alinuxhow come.. it installs fine with no problems..20:31

alinuxthen.. i have an odd dolphin problem20:34
alinuxwhen i open a folder with files/movies/songs it takes some time to generate the previews inside subfolders20:34
tomreynfor the virtualization: you could try virtualbox or virt-manager with quemu-kvm instead20:34
alinuxlike 1/2/3 secs20:35
alinuxbut when i open the folder again after closing it does refreshing again20:35
alinuxtomreyn: yes i could.. but i need 3D !20:36
