seeleRiddell: I saw that and almost posted.  Then I remembered it was slashdot and let the trolls answer for me :)00:59
ryanakcawoah, why does gnome's scim / pannel applet automatically start when you login to KDE4 since the upgrade an hour or so ago? My keyboard keeps on getting switched to Amharic... really annoying.01:42
* ryanakca digs into it01:42
nixternalman, KDE 4 will not stop locking up on amd64 box that I installed using the new kubuntu-kde4 cds01:50
nixternals/KDE\ 4/my\ system/01:50
nixternaland there is nothing in the logs either01:50
ryanakcahmmm01:50
ryanakcanixternal: like, lock up even when you're using a vt?01:51
nixternallock up just looking at it01:51
ryanakcaheh01:51
nixternaland it is random as all hell01:51
nixternalI just ran a virtual box session for at least 6 hours and the system doesn't lock up...01:52
ryanakcaknow if anything is hogging all the ressources? maybe log ressource consumption every 10s... then whenever it locks up, reboot and check if/what was hogging everything?01:52
nixternalI made a mistake by thinking I could ctrl+alt+backspace in vbox to restart X, but it restarts the systems X, which then locks up01:52
nixternalthe resources look good01:52
nixternalvirtualbox is using 100% CPU01:54
nixternalhahah, nice01:54
ryanakcalol01:54
nixternal102%01:54
nixternalwth01:54
nixternalmy CPU is working overtime01:54
nixternalbut that only happens when vbox starts up01:54
nosrednaekimnixternal» dual core CPU01:54
ryanakcalol, so I'm guessing if you killed vbox, it wouldn't lock up?01:54
nixternalafter that it settles in under 6%01:55
nosrednaekimyou can go up to 20001:55
nixternalthat's when the lights start dimming :)01:55
nosrednaekimwhew..... i'm on Dapper. this seems so stone age :)01:56
nixternalhahaha01:56
nixternaland it just locked up01:57
nixternalARGH!01:57
* nixternal goes back to the KDE 3 install01:57
ryanakcalol01:57
ryanakcanosrednaekim: I still have a Dapper shipit CD ኪችኪንግ አሮኡን01:57
nixternalhrmm, I don't even have kde 3 disc01:58
ryanakcawoah, CD kicking around01:58
nixternalኪችኪንግ አሮኡን01:58
nixternalwhat was that?01:58
* ryanakca curses the gnome crap starting up at KDE4 login. I've never even used it, but it refuses to quit and randomly switches the keyboard to amharic on me01:58
nixternalhahahaha01:58
nosrednaekimwe're gonna see how a dapper to hardy upgrade goes :)01:59
nixternalcall in the military first01:59
ryanakcanixternal: it looks like its amharic characters... and ርርግ!@$#%^&@#$01:59
* ryanakca curses and tries to figure out why it /refuses/ to quit01:59
ryanakcaI right click it, -> Quit, and then as soon as I type a character, it opens/appears again02:00
nixternalOH NOOOOOOO02:01
nixternalI am out of damn blank CDs02:01

ryanakcanixternal: *wonders if that would be a murphy's law*... You always have an abundance of storage media when you don't need it, but always run out when you need it....02:13
nixternalI found some blank CDs02:14
nixternalI had 2 stacks of 100 that I got for xmas, and now I have like 10 at the most02:14
nixternalI found my usb keys02:15

nareshovbtw, how do I move to hardy from gutsy using adept?02:17
ubotuPackage kubuntu-default-artwork does not exist in hardy02:17
nareshovI remember someone telling me to do that instead of the traditional '%s/gutsy/hardy/' on sources.list && dist-upgrade02:18
ryanakcanareshov: for the record, I always do the traditional s/gutsy/hardy/g && apt-get update && aptitude dist-upgrade ... but its recommended to do the upgrade with Adept. Don't know how though :)02:19
ryanakca!dist-upgrade02:19
ubotuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes02:19
ryanakcanareshov: ^^02:19

alterooso I can watch it now04:35
alterooYeah04:35
alterooIt froze while I was talking to you04:35
nixternalI was wondering why you quit talking to me04:35
alterooXorg is using 99.1 % of the CPU04:36
nixternalthat is awesome!04:36
nixternalVBox was using 102% of mine today04:36
nixternaluntil you hit 102% or higher, you aren't in my crash league :p04:36
alteroonixternal: can you kill vbox?04:36
nixternalit locks up to where only one of the 2 buttons on the front of the PC work04:37
alterooYeah that's me04:37
alterooI'm sshed in now and I can run commands04:37
alteroobut on the actual machine only the power button works04:37
alteroomouse keyboard all lights even the HDD light has stopped04:38
alterooSo any ideas on how to get Xorg to stop taking up so much CPU?04:39
