Guest70Hello I need help like rn, I'm installing Kubuntu and I have a 1tb HDD and idk how it manual partition it and yes I want ot do it manually. I got an Asus laptop core i3 4gb ram09:41
Guest70Anyone here?09:44
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> yep, how do you want to partition it?09:48
Guest70Manually09:51
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> there's a step during installation process which allows you to choose how the drive is partitioned. Usually guided use entire disk is what I use because I don't need other partitions, but you can also use the manual option  in order to create different partitions09:52
Guest70It's a no os laptop09:54
Guest70Idk how much Kubuntu partitions need09:54
Guest70I only saw tutorials on yt but they had HDD below 500gb09:54
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> hmm so do you need additional partitions for another os or are you planning to have the home directory on a separate partition or what's the usage case here?09:57
Guest70Well I only want to use Kubuntu and give it the entire hdd but idk how10:01
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> In disk setup phase during installation, "Guided - use entire disk" will wipe all existing partitions and create a new set of partitions which use all of the 1tb. This sounds like the option you would want to choose10:05
Guest70I don't have that option10:07
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> this is what it is supposed to look like, may vary slightly depending on kubuntu version : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/4c9214a4/file_75962.jpg10:09
Guest70Idk how to show you but I have 24.04 LTS10:14
Guest70Like it's different10:14
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> ah found a video of it. Erase disk would be the same as guided use entire disk.It allows you to choose if the system uses a swap file or a swap partition and which file system you'd like to use. : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/bc39d268/file_75963.jpg10:16
Guest70Ok I think I got it10:20
Guest70I got a question tho10:21
Guest70If I install programs can I choose for them to go in the partition with more space?10:21
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> So assuming nothing big has changed between partitioning of 22.04 and 24.04, your os only really needs 2 partitions, one small partition for efi. On my install this is 500MiB. And the main partition onto which everything else is installed to, os and so on10:23
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> so in a minimal case partitioning looks like this : https://irc-attachments.kde.org/a0a43f6e/file_75964.jpg10:24
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> In a 2 partition scheme you only have 1 partition that you are really using and so you don't really have the option for choosing where software is installed10:29
Guest70Yep I got it10:30
Guest70Thank you10:30
IrcsomeBot<wu_ma> Don't you need a swap partition?10:30
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> swap can be done with a swap file as well. Not 100% sure but that might even be preferred on ssd drives as this could help avoid you write a certain disk section over and over again10:31
IrcsomeBot<wu_ma> And I found one thing, even if the swap partition is set, KUUbuntu 24.04 still cannot sleep.10:32
IrcsomeBot<wu_ma> And I found one thing, even if the swap partition is set, KUUbuntu 24.04 still cannot hiberation.10:32
IrcsomeBot<wu_ma> And I found one thing, even if the swap partition is set, KUUbuntu 24.04 still cannot hibernation.10:32
IrcsomeBot<TimoSalola> ah modern flash controllers should be intelligent enough to distribute data all over the chips so that partitions are not in any way connected to physical chips and partitions may move around the flash. So swap partitions are OK on ssd's10:38
mparilloIs your swap file at least as large as your physical RAM?10:48
IrcsomeBot<wu_ma> Yes, my machine RAM is 32G, and my swap partition is 38G. (re @IrcsomeBot: <mparillo> Is your swap file at least as large as your physical RAM?)11:34
nuxilgenii, what if you set different dpi on your monitors, that should affect the cursor size.12:02
nuxilexample.. xrandr --listmonitors ; xrandr --output HDMI-1 --dpi 96 ; xrandr --output eDP-1 --dpi 14412:02
nuxilofc. use what listmonitors outputs.12:03
semHello folks. I have a low-end laptop & I'd like to try 24.04 kubuntu's performance in wayland. Can the live iso test the full wayland environment or do I need to install packages?12:33
BluesKajHi all12:42
semi'm going to try running 'sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland' in the live cd13:03
semi'm getting a fictx popup like this https://forums.opensuse.org/t/fcitx-wayland-diagnose-popup/17303714:02
semi am not sure what fcitx5 is14:02
nuxiliirc.. its related to some keyboard stuff.14:19
nuxilhttps://github.com/fcitx/fcitx14:19
nuxil*input14:19
semfrom what I can gather, it helps you input non-english characters14:21
semso i'm hoping i can safely ignore the popup14:21
nuxilyes. i belive i seen it used in keyboard layout maps. where it puts chars on some keys. example øæå and other non english chars.14:22
nuxiland other places aswel14:22
nuxilinput/keyboard on linux is a friking mess to be honest :p14:23
semyeah -- hard problem everywhere I suppose14:25
semsince I grew up typing french on mac keyboards, any other combination of non-english/keyboard seems pretty complicated14:26

IrcsomeBot<l> Hi16:40
IrcsomeBot<Mariolora> hello friend someone from the group could tell me how to solve this error, install Synaptic in Kubuntu 24.04 and I get it with the white theme not Dark Like everything else, someone here knows if you can solve, thank you, I hope you can help me17:27
oerheksyes, synaptic does not follow global theme.17:31
oerhekssorry17:31
asfyxiayou could use muon instead, that has the same functionality and does follow the colour schemes17:32
asfyxiamuon is standard installed and is more extensive than the usual software manager17:33
oerheksyes, but muon only does metapackages, synaptic gives them all17:34
oerhekscould be usefull17:34
asfyxiayou're right, just proposing17:34
oerheks:-)17:35
IrcsomeBot<Mariolora> Thank you so much for everything17:40

IrcsomeBot<Omarvx211> anyone tried to upgrade from 22.04 can tell us how safe the process is?20:41
IrcsomeBot<bauchhaus> I did it on two machines. It wasn't as smooth as on previous updates. Both machines lost Plymouth and were booting into something weird and ugly (re @Omarvx211: anyone tried to upgrade from 22.04 can tell us how safe the process is?)21:02
IrcsomeBot<bauchhaus> Eventually fixed it, but for an unexperienced user, it might be scary21:03
bombastickHi. I was trying to add myself to a group, logged out, logged back in, and I was never in the group according to the 'groups' command. It took a reset to finally make it happen. Is KDE pulling some shenanigans when I log out, so that it's not a real logout?21:16
bombastickI already changed the System Settings for session to "Start with an empty session when I log in".21:18
genevyGood evening, when trying to install the fortclient.deb package on Ubuntu 24.04 it returns an error stating that the libraries are obsolete22:22

cbreakthey might be obsolete22:28
cbreakcan you get that software for 24.04? Or set it up inside an lxc container or similar?22:29
oerheksyou are answered in #ubuntu22:31
oerheksbuggy package, use the open version22:32
