[08:08] <user|25> Hi, is it a good practice to have manual partition for Kubuntu 20.04.3 installation?
[08:08] <user|25> like /, /boot, /swap, /home?
[08:16] <alkisg> It's personal preference. E.g. I have different / and /home, and a swap partition, but not separate /boot
[08:16] <alkisg> Ubuntu defaults to a "swap file" now, but I prefer a swap partition; also I don't use any weird file systems so I don't need a separate /boot
[08:17] <alkisg> So it depends on how you plan to use your system...
[08:22] <user|25> Thank you. I have seen people also do a separate efi parition.
[08:23] <alkisg> If you're installing under UEFI, yes an efi partition is mandatory
[08:23] <alkisg> While for BIOS mode, there's no need
[08:23] <alkisg> For recent computers, GPT/UEFI is more common than not
[08:25] <user|25> Ok great. I have a 1 TB SSD, and want to keep 100GB free space for future Windows dual boot. Also will  have virtualbox installed
[08:26] <user|25> Is this a good to go /boot - 10GB , Swap - 32GB (I have 16GB RAM), / - 250GB and /home - available free space
[08:26] <user|25> Is it a good to go?
[08:27] <alkisg> Here's what I have, for  my 1 TB: https://termbin.com/9u22
[08:28] <alkisg> It allows me to boot in either UEFI or BIOS mode; it has 100 GB for Windows; some swap too etc etc. No /boot needed unless you want to do very fancy things
[08:28] <lordievader> 10Gigs for /boot? Mine are lucky to get 256M.
[08:29] <alkisg> # du -sh /boot
[08:29] <alkisg> 344M	/boot
[08:29] <alkisg> 256 MB is too little nowadays
[08:29] <alkisg> One initramfs is 100 MB, and at least two are needed (current and previous), plus one on upgrades => at least 400 MB
[08:30] <user|25> @lordievader :)
[08:30] <user|25> @alkisg thank you
[08:30] <alkisg> np
[09:49] <TJ-> if you're not moving the install around on a portable device, then reduce the size of the initrd by setting "MODULES=dep" in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
[09:49] <TJ-> modules/firmware included in initrd are only there to help find and mount the root file-system
[09:52]  * alkisg would love it if all the KMS drivers were NOT included in the initramfs, it would get it down to 20 MB or so ...
[09:53] <alkisg> Just for a fancy plymouth, we get giant initramfs's :D
 "One initramfs is 100 MB, and..." <- Brr, my initramfs'es are around the 20-30MB mark. Granted I'm not running Kubuntu.
[09:54] <lordievader> And a kernel of 15-20 MB.
[09:55] <lordievader> Oeh, my desktop has it even better, 8M kernel and 13M initramfs.
[09:55] <alkisg> Olivier: if you're using debian, it doesn't include all the firmware by default, like ubuntu; if you install all the firmware files (or install debian with the CDs with firmware included), then it reaches the Ubuntu sizes
[09:56] <lordievader> Yeah, price to pay to have it "run on anything".
[09:56] <alkisg> Debian doesn't like the proprietary firmware, while Ubuntu defaults to using it
[09:58] <TJ-> alkisg: I've carried my own patches to initramfstools that stop the unwanted GPU and firmware modules (and others) being included, and that reduces initrd.img to ~16MB ... had it as low as 8MB on some lean server systems
[09:59] <TJ-> see my investigation project notes at https://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/initramfs-tools/
[10:02] <alkisg> TJ-, thanks for the link, will read it while walking home; I had also experimented with initramfs's size because my schools use netbooting, and it adds seconds to booting time; but it's too much work to keep a sane list up to date, AND have the same image work in all PCs of all schools...
[10:03] <alkisg> (ltsp uses a single image for all school PCs)
[10:04] <TJ-> I've done it for ltsp too; basically have each client send a list of its required modules to the server where the combined list is created, and have 2 entries in the boot config (one for the 'full' initrd and one for the 'slim' and simply change the default boot entry to be used (or alternatively have TFTP deliver a different initd depending on server-side config)
[10:11] <alkisg> Sure, if the server maintained a combined-known.initrd and a full-unknown.initrd for e.g
[10:11] <alkisg> a teacher's own laptop, that could work, but it would be very hard to provide the infrastructure for that
[10:14] <alkisg> Automatically and securely sending data to the server from netbooted clients is a chapter on its own
[10:23] <alkisg> It could even be done at a lower level, files in initramfs that were never opened could be omitted. Not just modules but binaries and libraries too
[10:58] <alf75> What you think of last version of Kubuntu ?
[10:58] <alf75> In less than 30 seconds the OS is working with autentication, and random MAC working
 Hello, is there a way to install ruqola (https://apps.kde.org/ruqola/) on Kubuntu, besides compiling?
[11:33] <bitbang> @Niggolas you can download nighty appimages from here https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Ruqola_Nightly_appimage/

[12:11] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:37] <user|59> hi! Best way to make usb live for kub is unetbootin or win32?
[12:52] <BluesKaj> user|59, in windows the best method is to use Rufus. Unetbootin is buggy, not recommended. https://linuxconfig.org/create-bootable-ubuntu-20-04-usb-startup-disk
[13:29] <simon_> Hi everyone, just decided to try Kubuntu for the first time ever, guess what?? I LIKE IT!! ive been missing out.
[13:31] <Dragnslcr> Yup, it's been great for me for well over a decade
[13:31] <Dragnslcr> Glad you're enjoying it
[14:00] <simon_> certainly looks and feels nicer that ubuntu
