[00:46] <Max85> Hi, are noob questions allowed here?
[00:54] <max_> Hi
[03:03] <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?
[03:04] <travelinrob> Sorry. I meant to send this in the Mint chat window...
[03:06] <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.
[03:14] <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...
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <alkisg> Oh sorry travelinrob got afk and tab-autocomplete used the wrong name, sorry tachubletran
[06:09] <lordievader> Good morning
 where this IRC bot is connected to?
 KDE's IRC channels (re @villagerrrrrrrrr: where this IRC bot is connected to?)
[06:24] <in-divay> hi
 i am also connecter there now (re @ri5h46h: KDE's IRC channels)
 this is me (re @IrcsomeBot: <in-divay> hi)
 nice 😊 (re @villagerrrrrrrrr: this is me)
[06:28] <villagerrrrr> @ri5h46h hmm
[06:45] <user|78> hello all
[06:45] <user|78> bye bye all
[10:02] <esmail> .
 Hey everyone! :D
 I have a question
 I got a free monitor yesterday, an old but perfectly working flatscreen DELL, down in the flat, was put there to take for free
 now I am wondering, my primary 27 inch samsung monitor is on my GTX1070 vs HDMI
 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
 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?
 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.
 well basically, can the nvidia card and igpu be "in use" at the same time? (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> fudanshi how can we tell?)
 ah but then it won't have 3d acceleration right?
 then again I use windows for gaming mostly so thats not too terrible...
[11:18] <oerheks> most intel IGPU can do some 3 d acceleration.
 I can see in systen information that it sees 2 3daccelerators
 card0 is intel
 card1 is nvidia
[11:20] <oerheks> when your powercord arrives, have fun!
 the nvidia driver is loaded and running though... but I guess that means it should work XD
 I hope XD
 ... or I should spend the 3 euros on a DVI cable XD
 Anyway, thanks for confirming it should work :D
 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~
[11:22] <oerheks> only if your IGP is an ancient nvidia 9200, you would not.
 no lol its an IHD 630
 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
[11:41] <lordievader> Fudanshi: Connecting it via dvi to the nvidia card ain't an option?
 it is!
 but that costs a DVI cable XD
 I am dutch :3
 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
[11:51] <oerheks> dutch ..
 (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
[11:52] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:52] <oerheks> heya BluesKaj
[11:52] <BluesKaj> hey oerheks
 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
 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
 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
 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)
 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
[11:56] <BluesKaj> !OT | @Fudanshi
[11:59] <BluesKaj> hmm, think ubottu here should be edited to  show as #kubuntu support not #ubuntu
 ah yes sure XD
 sorry bot, its just that the other 2 distros I am in have support and social in one channel lol
[12:02] <BluesKaj> lol?...it's called offtopic like #kubuntu-offtopic chat for example
[12:32] <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.
 IB36
 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.

 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
[14:25] <lordievader> So, two X instances? That is just going to be plain annoying.
 ahhh I was hoping to just have it be like two connected monitors
[16:14] <lordievader> Yes, to do that you need to set them up like optimus/prime.
 ah I thought that only allowed you to switch between them I didnt know you could use both at same time XD
