Max85Hi, are noob questions allowed here?00:46
max_Hi00:54
travelinrobI'm not sure if you saw my earlier post about Mint 20.2 not including my Kubuntu partition after it updated the kernel and Grub. I found a manual work around, but I would like for this not to happen when I update Mint. Can someone assist me with this?03:03
travelinrobSorry. I meant to send this in the Mint chat window...03:04
travelinrobBut, if someone is willing to help... I have Kubuntu in a BTRFS partition and Mint in a EXT4 partition. When Mint has a kernel update and updates grub, it does not see the Kubuntu partition and then there is no grub entry for Kubuntu when I reboot.03:06
travelinrobMy work around is to copy the grub.cfg from the Kubuntu /@/boot/grub/ directory and pasting it into the Mint /boot/grub/ directory as kubuntu-grub.cfg. Then when I reboot and get to the Mint Grub Menu, I press c to get to the grub command and type configfile /boot/grub/kubuntu-grub.cfg and I can then see Kubuntu's menu, including the Kubuntu (It says Ubuntu) option. Then, when Kubuntu boots, I can type grub-install and then03:14
travelinrobthe default Grub Menu includes everything. But, I have to do these steps every time Mint updates grub...03:14

alkisgtachubletran: run `dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` in mint (if it's uefi the command is different) and tell it NOT to install itself to any disk like /dev/sda. Then the kubuntu grub will always be the "active" grub05:20
alkisgOh sorry travelinrob got afk and tab-autocomplete used the wrong name, sorry tachubletran05:21

IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> Hey everyone! :D11:14
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I have a question11:14
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I got a free monitor yesterday, an old but perfectly working flatscreen DELL, down in the flat, was put there to take for free11:14
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> now I am wondering, my primary 27 inch samsung monitor is on my GTX1070 vs HDMI11:14
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> the DELL only has DVI and VGA, so I wanna connect it with an old VGA cable, but the 1070 doesnt have a VGA port. So I need to connect it to the IGPU11:15
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I enabled the IGPU (multi-monitor) in the bios so it works, but when I connect it (I am waiting for a power cable to be delivered today for the monitor), will this work by itself?11:16
oerheksfudanshi how can we tell?11:16
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I wanna use the samsung as main monitor on the 1070 via HDMI and I wanna let it do anything 3d/gaming/etc, but I wanna have the igpu drive the smaller dell screen as a secondary monitor at the same time. Does this just work out of the box? I read it does on windows 10, but I am not sure about kubuntu lol11:17
oerheksif you set your IGPU as primairy, basicly it should.11:17
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> well basically, can the nvidia card and igpu be "in use" at the same time? (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> fudanshi how can we tell?)11:17
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ah but then it won't have 3d acceleration right?11:17
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> then again I use windows for gaming mostly so thats not too terrible...11:17
oerheksmost intel IGPU can do some 3 d acceleration.11:18
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I can see in systen information that it sees 2 3daccelerators11:19
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> card0 is intel11:19
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> card1 is nvidia11:19
oerhekswhen your powercord arrives, have fun!11:20
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> the nvidia driver is loaded and running though... but I guess that means it should work XD11:20
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I hope XD11:20
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ... or I should spend the 3 euros on a DVI cable XD11:21
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> Anyway, thanks for confirming it should work :D11:21
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I asked because on the internet, half said it was literally impossible, and the other half was seeing it should be possible. Hence the confusion~11:21
oerheksonly if your IGP is an ancient nvidia 9200, you would not.11:22
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> no lol its an IHD 63011:25
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I hope this is the one case where windows having drivers outside the kernel is a good thing... I really need to keep the gaming performance there. XD if that monitor means I cant play genshin impact anymore it's flying outta the window XD11:25
lordievaderFudanshi: Connecting it via dvi to the nvidia card ain't an option?11:41
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> it is!11:50
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> but that costs a DVI cable XD11:50
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I am dutch :311:50
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> thats 5 euros I can also spend on desperately trying to scrape together money to go to Bristol anime con end of this month XD11:50
oerheksdutch ..11:51
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> (Yes, I LIVE for anime events and free hugs, they still banned here because of the viruz, so I am flying over Europe for them XD)11:51
oerheksif you live near the town Haarlem, i have a spare11:51
BluesKajHi all11:52
oerheksheya BluesKaj11:52
BluesKajhey oerheks11:52
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I went to mondocon in Hungary two weeks ago, I had the time of my life... so many hapy people and everyone was so nice and sweet... and I must have free hugged 500 lovely weebs :311:53
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> This month, Bristol, and in Oktober, mondocon is again, so back to hungary. :D  a return flight is 50 euros lol. Its cheaper then going here :D11:53
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> Now, is it *smart* to flee the country to free hug 500 weebs in the middle of a pandemic? Maybe not. Does it destroy the planet to fly every 1 or 2 months? Sure. But by god did I need it and did it restore my mental health :311:53
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ahhh I live in Leiden! :D If this doesnt work, I might take you up on that, thanks! :D (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> if you live near the town Haarlem, i have a spare)11:53
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> I have a NS travel card so I dont pay for that. :D Anything to save money to afford my European con tour untill everything is allowed again here lol11:55

ubottu@Fudanshi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!11:56
BluesKajhmm, think ubottu here should be edited to  show as #kubuntu support not #ubuntu11:59
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ah yes sure XD12:01
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> sorry bot, its just that the other 2 distros I am in have support and social in one channel lol12:01
BluesKajlol?...it's called offtopic like #kubuntu-offtopic chat for example12:02
lordievaderTo get back on topic, combining intel with nvidia can be done (at least for laptops), it is called optimus or prime. Getting it to work properly is quite hit-or-miss has been my experience.12:32

IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ah yes, but thats not what I am going to try (I think cable-kun is delayed by a day :/), I just want both to always be active. With the intel one just driving the secondary display... and the nvidia card doing everything else. (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> To get back on topic, combining intel with nvidia can be done (at least for laptops), it is called optimus or prime. Getting it to work properly is quite hit-or-miss has been my experienc14:23
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> the secondary display is just there for a small second screen for a second application like discord during watching a show or a character reference image as I am writing a yaoi fic for someone via fiverr or something14:24
lordievaderSo, two X instances? That is just going to be plain annoying.14:25
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ahhh I was hoping to just have it be like two connected monitors14:36
=== motive is now known as motiveme
lordievaderYes, to do that you need to set them up like optimus/prime.16:14
IrcsomeBot<Fudanshi> ah I thought that only allowed you to switch between them I didnt know you could use both at same time XD16:22
