[04:12] <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
[04:13] <Guest17> Should it be MBR partition or something else?
[04:13] <calwig> yes
[04:14] <Guest17> ok
[04:14] <tomreyn> depends on how you'll be booting, i guess
[04:15] <Guest17> Can Install The Kubuntu in another partition like say for Example C:// (windows) and F:// (Kubuntu)?
[04:16] <Guest17> @tomreyn I am Rufus to create a boot device on USB
[04:17] <calwig> Guest17: Rufus works well to create a USB boot device
[04:17] <tomreyn> use dd mode though
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <tomreyn> kubuntu would go to a separate partitoon (it wuold not have a windows 'drive' name, though)
[04:20] <tomreyn> if you have sufficient RAM, your better option is ususlly to install one of the two operating systems in a VM
[04:27] <Guest17> ok
[04:28] <Guest17> tomreyn I could but my BIOS does not have a Virtualization option
[04:29] <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
[04:30] <Guest17> *Aspire
[04:32] <tomreyn> is that a pre-zen AMD CPU? i think so
[04:32] <tomreyn> it may still support AMD-V
[04:33] <Guest17> Yeah It hosts AMD Quad-Core Processor A6-5200 (2.0 GHz)
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <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
[04:43] <Guest17> yes its a bit risky to do that
[12:43] <icic> Hello, is there anything in kubuntu that'll give me the remaining battery level on connected bluetooth controller?
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:28] <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?
[13:32] <daum> i do notice https://dpaste.com/G6W6Q4USH when i click on it in my .xsession-errors file
[16:08] <manugau> anyone?
[16:43] <Mekaneck> manugau: if you have a kubuntu support question just ask and wait til someone responds, offtopic chit chat is in #kubuntu-offtopic
[16:47] <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?
[16:49] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:53] <manugau> isn't based on kubuntu?
[16:53] <Mekaneck> no
[16:53] <Mekaneck> then still, if it was it isn't supported here
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <Mekaneck> genii: he uses Neon for which we do not give support
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <Mekaneck> the channel is for official kubuntu support, not other distro's
[16:58] <genii> We can still be helpful when time allows
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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 :)
[17:02] <Mekaneck> manugau: you could also try asking in #linux
[17:02] <Mekaneck> maybe there's someone who can help you
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <manugau> thanks buddy
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <Mekaneck> just keep stuff where it belongs. Enough said
[17:12] <genii> It's not an actual channel policy :)
[17:14] <Mekaneck> we could go on for hours it seems but i don't like too, have fun
