| Guest17 | Hello! I want to dual boot Kubuntu LTS with Windows can anybody tell me how to do that? | 04:12 |
|---|---|---|
| calwig | write an ISO of kubuntu onto a USB flash drive | 04:12 |
| Guest17 | Should it be MBR partition or something else? | 04:13 |
| calwig | yes | 04:13 |
| Guest17 | ok | 04:14 |
| tomreyn | depends on how you'll be booting, i guess | 04:14 |
| Guest17 | Can Install The Kubuntu in another partition like say for Example C:// (windows) and F:// (Kubuntu)? | 04:15 |
| Guest17 | @tomreyn I am Rufus to create a boot device on USB | 04:16 |
| calwig | Guest17: Rufus works well to create a USB boot device | 04:17 |
| tomreyn | use dd mode though | 04:17 |
| tomreyn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=snapshot17.png is how you can co-install kubuntu next to an existing windows installation | 04:18 |
| tomreyn | kubuntu would go to a separate partitoon (it wuold not have a windows 'drive' name, though) | 04:19 |
| tomreyn | if you have sufficient RAM, your better option is ususlly to install one of the two operating systems in a VM | 04:20 |
| Guest17 | ok | 04:27 |
| Guest17 | tomreyn I could but my BIOS does not have a Virtualization option | 04:28 |
| Guest17 | Can i still install it in a VM if i dont enable Virtualization? | 04:29 |
| tomreyn | Guest17: which computer mdoel is this? | 04:29 |
| Guest17 | Acer Apire E1-522 | 04:29 |
| Guest17 | *Aspire | 04:30 |
| tomreyn | is that a pre-zen AMD CPU? i think so | 04:32 |
| tomreyn | it may still support AMD-V | 04:32 |
| Guest17 | Yeah It hosts AMD Quad-Core Processor A6-5200 (2.0 GHz) | 04:33 |
| tomreyn | apparently there are ways to modify the firmware to make it support native 64-bit operation and virtualization. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/151267/advanced-bios-settings-for-aspire-e1-522 | 04:38 |
| tomreyn | but this computer will lack ram and be rather slow either way, so i'm not sure such vendor-unsupported changes are a good idea anyways | 04:39 |
| Guest17 | yes its a bit risky to do that | 04:43 |

| icic | Hello, is there anything in kubuntu that'll give me the remaining battery level on connected bluetooth controller? | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 13:03 |
| daum | hi all - just installed kubuntu 20.04 on my laptop, and it seems certain menus (ie chromium, skype) when i click on them cause it to freeze for a while, but the menu never opens, any idea what may be causing that? | 13:28 |
| daum | i do notice https://dpaste.com/G6W6Q4USH when i click on it in my .xsession-errors file | 13:32 |

| manugau | anyone? | 16:08 |
| Mekaneck | manugau: if you have a kubuntu support question just ask and wait til someone responds, offtopic chit chat is in #kubuntu-offtopic | 16:43 |
| genii | manugau: How does the keyboard communicate with the computer? ..PS/2 cord, USB cord, cordless Bluetooth, cordless infrared, a ribbon to a laptop motherboard? | 16:47 |
| manugau | laptop acer nitro5 so I think ps/2, sorry I am very noob | 16:49 |
| Mekaneck | ah, cross posting. Try to keep it in one channel please | 16:49 |
| manugau | I'm really sorry, I need urgent login to work | 16:49 |
| Mekaneck | i saw in #kde you use KDE Neon which isn't supported here | 16:51 |
| Mekaneck | this channel is for support with Kubuntu only | 16:51 |
| manugau | isn't based on kubuntu? | 16:53 |
| Mekaneck | no | 16:53 |
| Mekaneck | then still, if it was it isn't supported here | 16:53 |
| Mekaneck | i'd look for support with kde neon at their official support forum and media | 16:54 |
| Mekaneck | check their website for that | 16:54 |
| genii | Looks like this particular laptop has hardware/quality control issues regarding the ribbon and connector or screws in that area, according to complaints at https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/571013/acer-nitro-5-an515-42-keyboard-not-working-how-to-fix/p4 .. if you need to get a working system immediately I'd suggest just plugging in an external USB one for now | 16:54 |
| Mekaneck | genii: he uses Neon for which we do not give support | 16:55 |
| Mekaneck | he's also getting help in #kde btw | 16:56 |
| genii | Mekaneck: While it is true that this is not strictly a Kubuntu support issue, there are no other pending support questions in the channel currently | 16:56 |
| Mekaneck | doesn't matter imho | 16:56 |
| Mekaneck | the channel is for official kubuntu support, not other distro's | 16:57 |
| genii | We can still be helpful when time allows | 16:58 |
| Mekaneck | in the appropriate channels, sure | 16:59 |
| Mekaneck | just my 2 cents | 16:59 |
| genii | It's when this goodwill becomes abused that we should become stricter about directing users to a more appropriate channel | 16:59 |
| Mekaneck | main Ubuntu channel doesn't support other flavors either, except for the official ones. | 17:00 |
| manugau | okay guys no need argue | 17:00 |
| manugau | thanks genii | 17:00 |
| Mekaneck | KDE Neon isn't a official flavor and thus not supported :) | 17:00 |
| Mekaneck | manugau: you could also try asking in #linux | 17:02 |
| Mekaneck | maybe there's someone who can help you | 17:02 |
| genii | manugau: When you cannot find immedate help in the designated support channel for your specific version of linux, the #linux channel is basically a catch-all one in which you may find more general support | 17:07 |
| manugau | thanks buddy | 17:08 |
| genii | Mekaneck: The main #ubuntu channel is more vigilant about directing users to distribution-specific channels because there is about ten times more users in that channel than this one | 17:11 |
| Mekaneck | just keep stuff where it belongs. Enough said | 17:12 |
| genii | It's not an actual channel policy :) | 17:12 |
| Mekaneck | we could go on for hours it seems but i don't like too, have fun | 17:14 |
