| lebster | Hi everyone, I'm using Kubuntu 24.10, and everything is working great, including Steam and my games. For one of my games, there's a character planning tool available only as a .exe file. What’s the best way to get it running—should I use something like Flatpak/Bottles or Protontricks or something else? | 07:20 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Omarvx211> fix it by this | 07:20 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Omarvx211> sudo apt install pavucontrol | 07:20 |

| kirvesAxe | lebster, have you tried searching for if that .exe would work through wine? | 07:21 |
| lebster | kirvesAxe: I haven’t tried yet. When I searched, I saw posts saying that installing a system-wide version of Wine might not be ideal since Steam and other apps use different versions. I don’t think the tool needs to run within the same instance as the game, but I want to make sure installing system-wide Wine wouldn’t cause issues or be going down the wrong path. | 07:29 |
| lebster | kirvesAxe Also when I looked up running exe on Kubuntu it said wine was removed from Kickoff? Not sure if that meant that I should not manually install it for some reason as something else might be available. | 07:41 |
| kirvesAxe | Well I haven't used Wine in years, but that was just my first thought :) | 07:42 |
| lebster | kirvesAxe: is there something already in Kubuntu 24.10 that manages wine instances that can run apps through wine? | 07:43 |
| lebster | kirvesAxe: for my specific .exe it looks like they are running it via - winetricks d3dcompiler_47 | 07:44 |
| guiverc | lebster, wine isn't included on a default kubuntu 24.10 install | 08:14 |
| lebster | guiverc: would you recommend using wine via flatpak or wine via ubuntu in discovery? | 08:16 |
| lebster | Discover* | 08:16 |
| guiverc | personally I'd prefer a deb package (I know a non-destructive re-install can cope with that, if from Ubuntu repositories)... but I'm not a wine user sorry | 08:16 |
| lebster | oh, i was under the impression that installing from the ubuntu .deb would be destructive. I guess it is similar to flatpak then, just has access system wide? | 08:20 |
| guiverc | by non-destructive re-install I mean if my current systems got stuffed due to some mistake I made etc... I want the option to non-destructively re-install the box using an ISO & have it back usable in ~15 mins without me needing to touch my backups... using default ubuntu deb packages are handled by a non-destructive re-install (flatpaks aren't) | 08:23 |
| lebster | ah gotcha | 08:28 |
| lebster | hmmm, so I installed wine and the app runs okay... but for some reason if steam is open the internet connection for it goes in and out. I have to close the other wine app and restart steam to resolve it. =/ | 09:12 |
| lebster | wine via the deb ubuntu | 09:13 |

| Colors | Warm day! | 22:55 |
| Colors | Does anyone get the same error during installation using Kubuntu LiveCD? | 22:55 |
| Colors | https://i.imgur.com/iMQlkVx.png | 22:56 |
| Colors | This is the manual set partitions for the installation: https://i.imgur.com/OegqW1X.png | 22:59 |
| karenw | Looks like it failed to create the encrypted partition you requested? (As it says, it's not very useful as to why it failed) | 22:59 |
| oerheks | yes, some encounter the same, see answer 4. manual wiping and partitioning works, automaticly not.. https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/newbie-support/help-the-new-guy/684639-error-installing-kubuntu-24-10-with-luks | 22:59 |
| Colors | oerheks: thank you. This is a new partitions I've just set manually with the complete table re-creation. | 23:01 |
| Colors | karenw: I see. I found something about /boot encrypted/unencrypted, where it could fail? | 23:02 |
| Colors | This: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/2129 | 23:02 |
| -ubottu:#kubuntu- Issue 2129 in calamares/calamares "LUKS2 unusable in current state" [Open] | 23:02 | |
| karenw | /boot should never be encrypted or you won't be able to boot.. | 23:03 |
| Colors | Initially, I set /boot unencrypted (ext4), but with the button "Next" pressed. The installer warned that it is recommended to encrypt /boot, and hence I did. | 23:04 |
| karenw | I do remember having to manually delete all my partitions for something to work. | 23:04 |
| Colors | s/pressed. The/pressed, the/ | 23:04 |
| karenw | I mean, it's recommended for security, but usability cost is absolute. It won't boot. Perfectly secure. | 23:04 |
| Colors | I don't get the recommendation then... | 23:05 |
| karenw | Yeah, me neither | 23:05 |
| Colors | 1 moment. I made a photo even. | 23:06 |
| Colors | This: https://i.imgur.com/3jsqG5T.jpeg | 23:07 |
| Colors | It showed this warning when I had /boot to be formatted as ext4 and not luks | 23:08 |
| karenw | Hmm, that is quite unhelpful. Everything it says is technically true. | 23:13 |
| karenw | But afaik grub does not support booting from an encrypted /boot | 23:13 |
| Colors | karenw: it looks like indeed a bug during partitioning, since this is how the drive looks like now: https://i.imgur.com/aeYTmy3.png | 23:13 |
| karenw | Yeah that looks like a mess. | 23:14 |
| Colors | I'll try again with /boot set as ext4 | 23:15 |
| karenw | My setup is /boot/efi (300MiB ExFAT) /boot (4GiB ext4) / (Remaining space, ext4-inside-luks2) and a swapfile not partition | 23:16 |
| Colors | karenw: this is for a motherboard with EFI support, I believe. | 23:18 |
| karenw | Yes :) | 23:19 |
| Colors | The '/boot/efi', specifically. This laptop does not support EFI but legacy/BIOS only. | 23:19 |
| karenw | If you're on a non-EFI x86 motherboard in 2024, you're probabally hitting poorly tested code. | 23:19 |
| karenw | Also I assume you don't have secure boot, in which case having an encrypted boot partition is even more important from a pure security pov (but as you found, unusable with any known bootloader) | 23:20 |
| Colors | And how would you have /boot encrypted but also working with Kubuntu? | 23:21 |
| Colors | There's apparently "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK" | 23:25 |
| Colors | Seen: https://askubuntu.com/a/801394 | 23:25 |
| Colors | It continued further with the /boot set to be formatted as ext4 instead of luks(ext4) | 23:37 |
| Colors | e.g. https://i.imgur.com/zAKCtPk.png | 23:38 |
| karenw | Yeah, the only non-theoretical setup us /boot as extn, and / as luks(extn). | 23:38 |
| Colors | Rebooting. Thank you, karenw and oerheks, and everyone! | 23:44 |
| Colors | Happy New Year! | 23:44 |
