| max_ | Hi | 00:54 |
| travelinrob | I'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 |
| travelinrob | Sorry. I meant to send this in the Mint chat window... | 03:04 |
| travelinrob | But, 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 |
| travelinrob | My 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 then | 03:14 |
| travelinrob | the default Grub Menu includes everything. But, I have to do these steps every time Mint updates grub... | 03:14 |

| alkisg | tachubletran: 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" grub | 05:20 |
| alkisg | Oh sorry travelinrob got afk and tab-autocomplete used the wrong name, sorry tachubletran | 05:21 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> Hey everyone! :D | 11:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> I have a question | 11:14 |
| 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 free | 11:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> now I am wondering, my primary 27 inch samsung monitor is on my GTX1070 vs HDMI | 11:14 |
| 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 IGPU | 11:15 |
| 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 |
| oerheks | fudanshi 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 lol | 11:17 |
| oerheks | if 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 |
| oerheks | most intel IGPU can do some 3 d acceleration. | 11:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> I can see in systen information that it sees 2 3daccelerators | 11:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> card0 is intel | 11:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> card1 is nvidia | 11:19 |
| oerheks | when 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 XD | 11:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> I hope XD | 11:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> ... or I should spend the 3 euros on a DVI cable XD | 11:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> Anyway, thanks for confirming it should work :D | 11:21 |
| 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 |
| oerheks | only if your IGP is an ancient nvidia 9200, you would not. | 11:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> no lol its an IHD 630 | 11:25 |
| 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 XD | 11:25 |
| lordievader | Fudanshi: 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 XD | 11:50 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> I am dutch :3 | 11:50 |
| 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 XD | 11:50 |
| oerheks | dutch .. | 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 |
| oerheks | if you live near the town Haarlem, i have a spare | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:52 |
| oerheks | heya BluesKaj | 11:52 |
| BluesKaj | hey oerheks | 11:52 |
| 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 :3 | 11:53 |
| 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 :D | 11:53 |
| 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 :3 | 11:53 |
| 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 lol | 11:55 |
| BluesKaj | !OT | @Fudanshi | 11:56 |
| 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 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, think ubottu here should be edited to show as #kubuntu support not #ubuntu | 11:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> ah yes sure XD | 12:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Fudanshi> sorry bot, its just that the other 2 distros I am in have support and social in one channel lol | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | lol?...it's called offtopic like #kubuntu-offtopic chat for example | 12:02 |
| 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 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 experienc | 14:23 |
| 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 something | 14:24 |
| lordievader | So, 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 monitors | 14:36 |
| === motive is now known as motiveme | ||
| lordievader | Yes, 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 XD | 16:22 |
