[02:51] <viewer|32> Hello
[02:52] <viewer|32> Can someone tell me what is the difference between Kubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1
[02:53] <viewer|32> Hello, anybody there?
[02:53] <viewer|32> Seems like an idle chat channel
 It's just minor updates
[04:34] <flejm> hi
[04:35] <flejm> is every pendrive bootable?
[04:36] <flejm> I have some problem with bootable pendrive and I don't know what I can do
[05:01] <gnoob> flejm: I think they should all work.
[05:02] <gnoob> have you tried USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports?
[05:07] <flejm> no, I tried only one port, I have two pendrives and first pendrive is without problem bootable, but the second pendrive is not bootable
[05:08] <flejm> I think that I should try the other usb ports
[05:10] <flejm> thanks
[05:23] <flejm> thanks, the problem with bootable pendrive is solved
[10:54] <Guest96910> Hello
[10:54] <Guest96910> Anybody there? I want help installing Kubuntu
[10:58] <Guest96910> Hello
[11:00] <Guest96910> Why isn't anyone answering?
 Hi!
 Nobody was answering because nobody was here.
 we do this on our free time.
[11:01] <Guest96910> I want some help, please
 How can I help?
[11:01] <Guest96910> I have Windows and Linux Mint already installed
[11:01] <Guest96910> I want to remove Linux Mint and install Kubuntu
[11:01] <Guest96910> But keep Windows
 that is out of my expertise.
 I know what I would do, but I am not confident enough to share.
 make sure you have good backups!
 clonezilla
[11:03] <Guest96910> I have backups in a removable drive
[11:06] <Guest96910> What should I do, please tell, anyone
[11:11] <Guest96910> hello dani
 Go to windows and delete the linux partition
 Then follow the guide for dualboot install
[11:19] <Guest96910> Okay thanks
[11:57] <floown> hello
[11:58] <floown> On a dedicated server Ubuntu, I try to add a glue record for manage my DNS record for my domains. The syntaxe shoud be hostname.mydomain.tld    or    ns.mydomain.tld    ?
[12:30] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
 Hey all
[15:21] <anshm> Hey guys can anyone help me with upgrading to 20.04.1 from 20.04
[16:55] <rosco_y> Can anyone tell me the steps to install ubuntu on a win 10 machine so that I can use a dual-boot menu when booting?
[16:57] <rosco_y> I always wind up hitting f12 during boot to go into the system bios to select a drive to boot.
[16:58] <rosco_y> now i want to resize a drive, make a partition and install linux on the new partition--but I'd like to do it right.
[17:05] <tomreyn> rosco_y: so you're bios booting then, not uefi?
[17:06] <rosco_y> tomreyn, ty.  No, I just checked, my system is using uefi, but I don't know what that is
[17:06] <tomreyn> so, both bios boot and uefi boot can have a boot menu, just.. they usually work very differently.
[17:07] <rosco_y> uefi obvously being a new versio of bios?
[17:07] <rosco_y> or is that obvious at all?
[17:08] <tomreyn> it's an incompatible replacement
[17:08] <tomreyn> but yes, it's newer
[17:08] <rosco_y> groan...how can anyone keep up?
[17:08] <tomreyn> to 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.
[17:09] <rosco_y> do you recommend i select one or the other?
[17:09] <tomreyn> and to make it even worse, most mainboard manufacturers refer to the mainboard firmware as "BIOS" wbven when it's a UEFI firmware
[17:09] <tomreyn> wbven -> even
[17:10] <rosco_y> I ran "msinfo" which reported that my "BIOS" is uefi
[17:11] <tomreyn> see :)
[17:11] <rosco_y> seeing how I find this all so confusing, maybe I'd better skip installing linux on my machine....
[17:12] <rosco_y> I'll probably wind up with ground hamburger
[17:12] <rosco_y> It'd be a big job to rebuild everything from scratch
[17:12] <tomreyn> it'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.
[17:13] <tomreyn> on the other hand i'd recommend UEFI for forward compatibility.
[17:13] <rosco_y> I hear what you're saying.  Safter to stick with UEFI going forward.
[17:14] <tomreyn> you shouldn't be worried about installing kubuntu on your system. if anything will destroy your ability to boot the other OS, it's be windows
[17:14] <tomreyn> *it'll be
[17:14] <rosco_y> :( That's what would take a lot of time to restore.
[17:15] <rosco_y> I'm relying on windows quite a bit, but I could try some things in linux.
[17:15] <tomreyn> but 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.
[17:16] <tomreyn> your 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> *kubuntu
[17:16] <rosco_y> Thank!  I'll do that for a while, if I get comfortable with it, I'll go ahead with it.
[17:16] <tomreyn> or even run a full kubuntu with the graphical user interface in a VM
[17:16] <tomreyn> such as under virtualbox
[17:17] <rosco_y> I can't run virtual machines because I have windows home ed
[17:17] <tomreyn> yes you can
[17:17] <tomreyn> just not using microsofts hypervisor
[17:17] <rosco_y> uhm....more misunderstandings on my part--
[17:18] <rosco_y> oh, I didn't think of that!
[17:18] <rosco_y> I've used vbox in the past--I like it!
[17:19] <rosco_y> That's what I'm going to try first here!  -- no cutting up my hard drives, no muss, no fuss!
[17:19] <tomreyn> cool, good luck. you can ask virtualbox questions in #vbox, windows questions in ##windows
[17:20] <rosco_y> Thanks again--I really appreciate your help!!
[17:20] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[17:20] <tomreyn> note you can also do it the other way around
[17:20] <tomreyn> kubuntu -> virtualbox -> qindows 10
[17:21] <tomreyn> but maybe that's not for you, yet ;)
[17:23] <tomreyn> if 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.
[18:13] <Nitec> Hi, 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?
[18:20] <tomreyn> Nitec: are you using this as a desktop or server computer?
[18:20] <Nitec> desktop
[18:20] <tomreyn> Nitec: configure networking using network manager
[18:21] <tomreyn> if you prefer to do it from a CLI, there are nmcli and nm-tui
[18:25] <tomreyn> Nitec: 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.
[20:11] <alinux> hey all
[20:12] <alinux> using latest version of kubuntu and installed vmware player. i have weird icons including "the home icon",also down to usb and cd-rom's.. icons are weird.. any one know why ?
[20:14] <alinux> https://ibb.co/y5PDLht
[20:14] <alinux> https://ibb.co/Pxd6s6v
[20:15] <alinux> https://ibb.co/XbDygWb
[20:15] <alinux> please ?
[20:15] <alinux> :(
 ы
 sry, no clue here.
[20:23] <tomreyn> ensure that the tthird-party software you installed is supported by its vendor on your version of kubuntu. use their support channels, contact their support.
[20:28] <tomreyn> alinux: apparently you're looking for https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2129859
[20:30] <alinux> tomreyn: my problem is that the host is not supported yet ?
[20:31] <alinux> how come.. it installs fine with no problems..
[20:33] <tomreyn> alinux: not something we can answer here
[20:34] <alinux> okay thank you
[20:34] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[20:34] <alinux> then.. i have an odd dolphin problem
[20:34] <alinux> when i open a folder with files/movies/songs it takes some time to generate the previews inside subfolders
[20:34] <tomreyn> for the virtualization: you could try virtualbox or virt-manager with quemu-kvm instead
[20:35] <alinux> like 1/2/3 secs
[20:35] <alinux> but when i open the folder again after closing it does refreshing again
[20:36] <alinux> tomreyn: yes i could.. but i need 3D !
[20:40] <tomreyn> either can do certain levels of 3d acceleration under some circumstances
[20:40] <tomreyn> there's also #LookingGlass
[20:43] <alinux> i only have 1 gpu
[20:59] <tomreyn> https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough
[20:59] <tomreyn> alinux: ^
[20:59] <alinux> yeah i did read this too :D
[21:00] <alinux> ill try that one day
[21:47] <ricardo> hI
[22:38] <hannah> Hey, it's me, Hannah Montana, coming at you live from the Hannah Montana Linux-based operating system.
[22:45] <tomreyn> hannah: sorry to hear that. this channel is about kubuntu, though
[22:46] <hannah> Hey, Hannah Montana here, the Hannah Montana Linux-based operating system actually runs on Kubuntu 9!
[22:47] <hannah> Also TF you mean "sorry to hear that" what's that supposed to mean, huh?
[23:01] <gnoob> OMG, I can't believe she was really here.
