| Roey | Hello. I have X running on bootup; when I enter my password, I just get a blank screen.. I go to tty4 and do "startx" and X starts up fine (but then, apparently, it's still also presenting a login screen on tty1). Bluetooth connects.. but not on the tty4 X session that I see. I think it's connecting to the tty1 session. How do I kill the session on tty1?? And why is it giving me a blank screen after I put in my password? | 02:30 |
|---|---|---|
| Roey | (using kubuntu 24.04, but I've had this screen-blanking issue with 23.10 as well | 02:31 |
| Roey | I did "sudo systemctl enable bluetooth sudo systemctl start bluetooth" and got this: Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/sudo.service is masked. | 03:00 |
| Roey | I tried "sudo systemctl unmask bluetooth" and then re-issued the systemctl command, but go the same result | 03:06 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:35 |
| asfyxia | Hi BluesKaj | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | hi asfyxia | 12:45 |
| user|82 | hello | 12:52 |
| user|82 | I have an old laptop which runs windows and is very slow. Any advice to change to kubuntu? | 12:53 |
| asfyxia | user|82, when the laptop is old, what do you have as CPU and RAM? | 12:55 |
| user|82 | Just a min! It was given to me by my wife, I need to look this up! | 12:58 |
| user|82 | Apologies for the delay! 4gp installed ram | 13:01 |
| user|82 | CPU - intel cpu n3540 2.16Ghz | 13:02 |
| user|82 | 4.0 GB | 13:02 |
| asfyxia | That should fit, just don't open too many applications at the same time | 13:03 |
| asfyxia | For 'changing' to kubuntu I would advise to make a dual boot, to install kubuntu besides windows. You'll only use one of them. | 13:05 |

| user|82 | I have done that in the past (a few yeasr ago) and eventually the laptop didn't work. Is it more stable now? | 13:08 |
| asfyxia | well, what do you mean with 'didn't work'? Did a live session work? Did you install it but it didn't start at startup of your laptop? | 13:10 |
| user|82 | It worked well at first, after a while it did not start at all | 13:11 |
| user|82 | I cant help with exact details as it was a few years ago now. | 13:11 |
| asfyxia | A few years is quite a time in the world of linux ;-) | 13:12 |
| asfyxia | I would recommend to install a LTS version, that is a stable version that is supported for 3 years, and you can upgrade it after 2 years. | 13:13 |
| user|82 | Thats a bit re assuring! I remember using some software to partition the harddrive to make it dual boot. | 13:13 |
| user|82 | Is it a similar situation now? | 13:13 |
| asfyxia | For a dual boot you can trust the install program, it will do the partition arranging for you | 13:14 |
| asfyxia | Be careful with partition management when you are not familiar with it | 13:15 |
| user|82 | Whats the partition advice for a complete novice? | 13:16 |
| user|82 | 50 50? | 13:16 |
| asfyxia | yep | 13:16 |
| asfyxia | For a regular kubuntu partition some 20 GB will do, when you are planning to cram it with extra software you'll probably need the double | 13:17 |
| user|82 | the documentationj mentions MD5SUM but its not on windows is that going to be tricky? | 13:18 |
| asfyxia | MD5sum is a test for your download of kubuntu, that has nothing to do with windows | 13:18 |
| user|82 | Just to confirm then. If I download Kubunu latest version and install it will partition and load the software? | 13:19 |
| asfyxia | First you download your wanted kubuntu iso. Then you make a startup disk, I always do that on a USB stick. You can make a bootable usb stick on Windows with the program Rufus. Then you disable 'fastboot' on windows, start again, hit F2 (most probably) to dive into the boot section, disable secure boot , put in the boot sequence the USB stick first, start the live session, and when it works use the installer (will be an icon). | 13:24 |
| asfyxia | After installation you'll have to find out which function key to hit to startup the boot choice when GRUB does not start. That sometimes happens, dependable on the laptop manufacturer. | 13:26 |
| Roey | Hello. I just upgraded from Kubuntu 23.10 -> 24.04. Suddenly I had issues connecting my Bluetooth devices to my computer. So I did "sudo systemctl enable bluetooth sudo systemctl start bluetooth" and got this: Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/sudo.service is masked. I tried "sudo systemctl unmask bluetooth" and then re-issued the systemctl command, but go the same result. Is this a known bug?? | 15:46 |
| mybalzitch | are you sure you typed the command properly where its complaining about sudo? | 16:00 |
| Roey | mybalzitch: oh. mistype, sorry | 16:02 |
| Roey | mybalzitch: so anyway the device connection fails | 16:04 |

| gall | Hello, I tried to install and use the last version (v. 3.14.2.1) of GrandOrgue software, but it doesn't work with Kubuntu. The error message returns "cannot satisfy dependencies. I am an user of GrandOrgue. | 17:52 |
