[08:08] like /, /boot, /swap, /home? [08:16] It's personal preference. E.g. I have different / and /home, and a swap partition, but not separate /boot [08:16] 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] So it depends on how you plan to use your system... [08:22] Thank you. I have seen people also do a separate efi parition. [08:23] If you're installing under UEFI, yes an efi partition is mandatory [08:23] While for BIOS mode, there's no need [08:23] For recent computers, GPT/UEFI is more common than not [08:25] 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] Is this a good to go /boot - 10GB , Swap - 32GB (I have 16GB RAM), / - 250GB and /home - available free space [08:26] Is it a good to go? [08:27] Here's what I have, for my 1 TB: https://termbin.com/9u22 [08:28] 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] 10Gigs for /boot? Mine are lucky to get 256M. [08:29] # du -sh /boot [08:29] 344M /boot [08:29] 256 MB is too little nowadays [08:29] One initramfs is 100 MB, and at least two are needed (current and previous), plus one on upgrades => at least 400 MB [08:30] @lordievader :) [08:30] @alkisg thank you [08:30] np [09:49] 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] 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] Just for a fancy plymouth, we get giant initramfs's :D [09:54] "One initramfs is 100 MB, and..." <- Brr, my initramfs'es are around the 20-30MB mark. Granted I'm not running Kubuntu. [09:54] And a kernel of 15-20 MB. [09:55] Oeh, my desktop has it even better, 8M kernel and 13M initramfs. [09:55] 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] Yeah, price to pay to have it "run on anything". [09:56] Debian doesn't like the proprietary firmware, while Ubuntu defaults to using it [09:58] 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] see my investigation project notes at https://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/initramfs-tools/ [10:02] 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] (ltsp uses a single image for all school PCs) [10:04] 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] Sure, if the server maintained a combined-known.initrd and a full-unknown.initrd for e.g [10:11] a teacher's own laptop, that could work, but it would be very hard to provide the infrastructure for that [10:14] Automatically and securely sending data to the server from netbooted clients is a chapter on its own [10:23] It could even be done at a lower level, files in initramfs that were never opened could be omitted.

Best way to make usb live for kub is unetbootin or win32? [12:52] 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] Hi everyone, just decided to try Kubuntu for the first time ever, guess what?? I LIKE IT!! ive been missing out. [13:31] Yup, it's been great for me for well over a decade [13:31] Glad you're enjoying it [14:00] certainly looks and feels nicer that ubuntu [14:06] ECSH [14:06] ECSF === genii-away is now known as genii [14:39] 98UE [15:37] Projekt 😂 === amnesiac_ is now known as amnesiac [20:00] cc === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [21:15] will adding the repository add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to kubuntu get me to Plasma 5.22.4 .
