[00:37] hi there. i just tested kubuntu 9.04 (maybe as a replacement for my gentoo system) and had following issue: sometimes i'm unable to shutdown/logout. there are several forum threads and some bug reports, but none helps me solving this. someone said a workaround is to turn off sound notification, but that didn't fix it. any ideas? could please someone lead me to _the_ main bug report please? [00:38] oh, using kde 4.3 from backports [00:38] nejode: u there? [00:39] harjot: did you use "sudo" before the command?

[00:41] harjot: still there? === mark_ is now known as linuxbomb [00:43] tommaso: what graphics card do you have> [00:45] k [00:46] james: ati radeon x500. I think it supports the resolution I'm using [00:48] tommaso: its an weird resalution, standard ones tend to be 1280x768 or 1024x768 [00:49] james: ubuntu seems not to be able to load the resolution at startup. BTW: I'm using an external monitor since my laptop monitor doesn't work, maybe that is the problem [00:49] I forgot to mention this thing earlier, sorry [00:50] tommaso: and you have to go to system settings >display to resize it every reboot? [00:50] james: yes it is weird, because my monitor is a small widescreen but it is the suggested resolution. [00:51] james: yes I have to do so but I don't have to change the settings, I just need to open the window and it resizes automatically [00:51] tommaso: only thing i can suggest is to edit your xorg.conf file [00:52] tommaso: but you will have to look up how to do that as i dont know enough about it to help you very well [00:53] tommaso: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 might help [00:53] james: i think the problem is the laptop screen, ubuntu detects first the laptop screen which is still active (but with no light) and it applies the lapton resolution to my external screen [00:53] hmm [00:54] when I go to the settings ubuntu becomes aware of the correct resolution and resizes it automatically [00:54] i tried to disable the laptop screen but it doesn't save the setting after rebooting [00:54] i have to disable it manually every time [00:55] tommaso: not sure how to get it to auto detect an external monitor [00:55] james: yes i think that what I should get ubuntu to do [00:55] thank you the same [00:58] james: i think the solution would be editing the Xorg conf file as you said but I don't think I'm able to do it [00:59] tommaso:my laptop dose the same thing [01:00] tommaso: there may be a workaround useing xrand [01:00] xrandr [01:00] i guess using an external monitor instead of the laptop screen is not a common situation [01:03] i guess they're working on it for next releases: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17509/ === gpt is now known as Guest78095 [01:05] is there a way to add the display menu to my start up menu so that I have to do just one click to resize the resolution? [01:06] system settings > advanced > auto start... but i am looking into a xrandr to see if that can do it [01:07] then we should beable to just run that command at startup without going through system settings [01:09] thank you very much [01:10] tommaso: xrandr -s 1280x1024 [01:10] james: I should do this at everystartup? [01:11] yeah, you should be able to put it in a script and auto run it at start up [01:11] try it just incommand line for now to see if it works [01:11] ok [01:11] Size 1280x1024 not found in available modes [01:12] change 1280x1024 to your wanted resalutions :) [01:12] because it's a widescreen i suppose [01:12] yes [01:14] tommaso: do you know how to create scripts? [01:16] here I am I'm sorry [01:17] the command just made my screen turn black [01:17] so I had to change the resolution with my laptop screen which is hard to see [01:18] so the command doesn't seem to work [01:18] I don't know why [01:18] how can i make the task bar have full opasicty? [01:19] err, excuse me, the panel [01:19] tommaso: does it make both monitors go blank? [01:20] james: only the external monitor [01:21] tommaso: try xrandr --auto [01:23] James: "try command not found [01:23] excuse me [01:23] i'm retrying [01:23] i included try by mistake [01:23] hehe [01:23] ok it doesn't do nothing so maybe it works [01:24] I should try it at startup [01:24] tommaso:xrandr --auto works for me, sets reaaslution to the largets screen and the other gets cropped [01:24] unplug the monitor [01:24] and run it again [01:24] that resets my laptop to its default [01:25] if I unplug it and then plug it again, the resolution is already correct [01:25] i have to reboot the system to see if it works [01:26] unplug and runn the command without the external [01:26] for me that disabled my second monitor again [01:27] ok i'm trying i'm going out of this chat room and then I'm coming back [01:27] kk [01:27] James147: are you using two monitors that are both standard width or wide screen? [01:28] i am useing one widescreen and one standard on my desktop, only have a widescreen on my laptop, but i dont use external monitors with that [01:29] That's the boat i'm in. Widescreen laptop, standard external. It was annoying to have the edges of the screens chopped off [01:29] Walzmyn: have mine set up in xorg useing nvidia-settings, but was testing my laptop to help tommaso [01:30] Walzmyn: if your useing both screens at once you can have one screen next to the other at differnet resalutions, ranther then overlapping [01:30] James147: yeah, i was using nvidia-settings as well [01:30] yeah, but it makes the whole "screen" one height. So the widescreen gets the top or bottom edge trimmed off === login__ is now known as Fernando [01:31] What is that mode thing that just went by? === Fernando is now known as Guest84812 [01:32] hi james here I am. it worked. actually I didn't even need to run the command. I did what you told me previously, to make krandtray start along with kde at startup. and that is enough to make the monitor select the correct resolution [01:32] tommaso: good good [01:32] james: thank you very much james, you solved it! [01:33] tommaso: no problem === s is now known as Guest92902 [01:35] walzmyn: dont know of a good way to make mirrored screens look good at different resalutions but placing the monitors side by side so you have 2 screens works well [01:35] Walzmyn: only cant see a way to do that in system settings [01:36] Walzmyn:xrandr --output VGA --reight-of LVDS should set them up side be side [01:36] replacing VGA and LVDS with the names of the displays [01:37] found by running xrandr [01:39] James147: i had all those options in nvidia-settings and that was still my problem [01:39] it's ok, i've put that monitor back in storage. [01:39] maybe i'll give it a go sometime and see if it'll work [01:39] * Walzmyn goes to feed the dogs === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [02:10] i need some help. i have a kubuntu 8.10 and my usb ports stopped working. any ideas on how to fix it? [02:13] jess you try rebooting? [02:14] yes didn't work [02:14] jess: interesting. I'm not sure. [02:15] jess: there a reason you're not using 9.04? [02:16] yes it kept freezing my computer and every other time i started it up it would basically crash [02:17] jess I'm looking but i'm not familiar with USB backend stuff, sorry. [02:17] jess: just covering bases, it didn't get turned off in the bios did it? [02:19] i'm not sure how would i check that? [02:19] jess: if you haven't been playing around in bios, they it shouldn't have gotten changed [02:19] jess: but to check you'd just have to look for the option somewhere in the bios options to enable/disable USB [02:20] is there a way i can check it anyway? [02:20] jess: whats the output of "cat /proc/modules | grep usb" [02:21] there ya go. someone that knows what they're doing [02:21] not really :) [02:21] just checking to see if the modules are loaded, if thats the problem [02:21] well, I knew that command was there, but i didn't know what is was :) [02:21] ok if they are loaded? [02:22] then what? [02:22] did they work at anypoint in the past? [02:23] yes they were just working yesterday and now today nothing? [02:23] could they get shorted from a power outage? [02:23] then its unlikly to be a bios setting :( [02:23] never hear of it before [02:23] jess: what type of computer/ how old? [02:24] jess: did "cat /proc/modules | grep usb" output anyhting? [02:24] gateway don't really remember when i got it [02:25] any idea the best way to reinstall the drivers if i need to? [02:26] one thing you could try is to see if they work in a live cd [02:26] i am waiting on it to boot up so i can check that. i am on my laptop right now [02:34] can not check right now starting to lightning here really bad. if you come up with anything else please e-mail me at jnswebdesigns@smithbiz.net thank you. and good night [02:54] Using 9.04...if fglrx installation fails...then replacing xorg.conf with a backup should allow me to get back in....right? [02:56] Isum: if the abckups arent broken then yea, also think i read somewhere that the latest verison of xorg dont require a xorg.conf to work so you could try renaming xorg.conf if the backups fail;. [02:57] James147: Ok, I'll give that a shot. Yeah, I replaced it with both the backup I made and the failsafe and I still can't get into xwin. [02:58] Isum: give it a shot without the xorg.conf then worst that can happen is it still dosent work :S remember to back it up ;) [02:58] Doesn't the DVD come with a repair feature? [02:58] Isum: not sure [02:58] Isum: do you have a ndidia graphics card? [02:59] ati [02:59] nvidia ^^ [02:59] Radeon HD 3200 [02:59] :( [02:59] Is ok, I'm used to it [02:59] I have one on my desktop too:) [02:59] no, its just i know a way for nvidia to setup xorg.conf easily [02:59] I'll get it purrin' eventually. [02:59] Oh, too bad. [03:02] hmm, you might want to try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" === converter is now known as random42 [03:02] but i donthtink dpkg will edit it if it has been modified... http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/06/msg01009.html [03:02] yeah, getting rid of xorg is not helping [03:02] hi all. i'm having trouble mounting drives using dolphin (kde 4.3/jaunty). my sd card mounts as read-only. when i try to mount my windows partition (ntfs) i get the following error: An error occured while accessing 'Volume (ntfs)', the system responded: kdesu: Unknown option 'comment'. [03:03] ...i've used thunar and nautilus on the same system and they work fine. just dolphin and all of kde 4.3 are having the problem [03:04] k4ever: whats the contents of /etc/fstab (http://paste.ubuntu.com/) [03:04] hold on === evilnhandler is now known as nhandler [03:06] James147: pasted fstab. hope i did it right. haven't used it in a while [03:07] k4ever: post a link here as well so i can get to it :) [03:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/257275/ [03:09] to get the ntfs to mount you can add and entry to fstab [03:11] k4ever: along te lines of; /dev/sdXX /media/windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 [03:11] k4ever: where /dev/sdXX is the actual ntfs drive and /media/windows exists and is empty [03:12] ok, what about the write problem with the sd card? i have to mount with thunar to get it to work right. dolphin won't play nice [03:13] k4ever:mount a sd card with dolphin and post the output of "mount" [03:13] standby, i'm editing fstab right now [03:16] k4ever: after you edit fstab (and create /media/windows) run "sudo mount -a" to mount anyhting added to fstab [03:17] forgot to add blank line to fstab [03:20] James147: how do i get the output from mount? [03:20] k4ever: mount only outputs on errors [03:21] do you want me to mount the drive manually (from the command line) or from dolphin? [03:21] k4ever: or do you mean just "mount"? [03:22] k4ever:the ntfs drive from command line - it should be auto mounted on boot form now on (or via sudo mount -a) [03:22] damn, I can't believe it. Looks like I"M going to have to reinstall [03:22] Isum: why? [03:22] replacing/deleting xord won't let me back into xwin...still get scrambled screen [03:22] Don't know what else to do. [03:22] s/xord/xorg [03:23] James147: you said to mount the sd card with dolphin and post the output of mount. what did you mean by "post the output of mount"? [03:24] good thing I didn't have anything important saved yet [03:24] k4ever: mount the sd in dolphin and type "mount" in command line, post the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com [03:25] Isum: if you dont have anything important then a reinstall is the eaist way... another muight be to create a small partition at the end, install it there (without grub) and stealing the xorg from that [03:25] Isum: If you reintall I suggest creating /home as a seprate partition (helps when you need to reinstall :) ) [03:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/257282/ [03:26] Yeah, I thought the installer would do that automatically. SuSE does, that's what I use on my desktop... [03:26] Isum:meh, I tend to always manually partition [03:26] wow, i did not know you could do that. get all of the current mount information by just typing mount [03:27] k4ever: /dev/sdb1 is mounted rw, can you write to it at all? [03:27] James147: MIght it help to remove the fglrx packages? [03:28] Isum: dont know what they are :D [03:29] James147: no. i think the sd card might be corrupted. is there a way to run scandisk on it from linux or should i just do it from windows? [03:29] James147: fglrx-amdcccle and fglrx-kernel-source....and fglrx-modaliases [03:29] k4ever: try "sudo mkdir /media/KELVINTILT2/test" [03:30] k4ever:and ls /media/KELVINTILT2 to make usre its there :) [03:31] mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/KELVINTILT2/test': Read-only file system [03:31] Isum: you could try, not sure it will work though [03:32] k4ever:do you have another usb stick to test? [03:32] i unmounted it from dolphin, then remounted it using thunar. i can write to it with thunar. something is wrong with dolphin [03:33] i might have another usb stick. give me a minute [03:35] k4ever: give me the output of mount after mounting it with dolphin and thunar [03:35] here is mount output for same card mounted with thunar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257284/ [03:37] hello [03:37] James147: winrar [03:37] Isum: ^^ === jon is now known as iheartfatdudes [03:39] i mounted with thunar. then created a folder with thunar. no problems. i did not umount. i switched to dolphin and clicked on the directory. i then tried to create a folder. dolphin would not let me. i then switched back to thunar and now thunar is saying the device is mounted read-only. dolphin is screwing up the drive and somehow making it read-only. [03:40] k4ever: never seen it do that before [03:40] wtf........ [03:40] James147: Forgive me, I"m new to Ubuntu...is there some reason why my root pass might not be the same as my login pass? [03:41] k4ever: what os are you running? (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu etc) [03:41] Isum: it never is some some reason :S its ment to be by default [03:41] James147: Kubuntu [03:41] i'm running xubuntu jaunty 64bit with kde 4.3 from kubuntu repositories [03:41] Isum: su root has never worked for me without chaning the root pass first [03:42] Isum: to change root password do sudo passwd root [03:43] k4ever: any reason your not just runnong kubuntu? [03:45] i'm away from home for a few weeks. was running windows 7 and got tired of it. decided to switch back to ubuntu. only had an xubuntu 64 bit livecd in my laptop case. installed it, played around with xfce then kde 4.3 came out. decided to give it a try. instead of nuking whole installation just installed from repositories over xubuntu. [03:46] James147: Ok, back to normal. So...in the future we both know how to remedy that little problem, no? [03:46] Isum: reinstall the system ? :) [03:47] James147: Ha ha....y'know...I always feel like that's a form of surrender. [03:47] k4ever: are the devices mounted as ro (via "mount") when you carnt write to them? [03:48] Isum:I tend to think of it as getting a shiny new system :D [03:48] mount still showing it as rw: /dev/sdb1 on /media/KELVINTILT2 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=1001) [03:49] k4ever: try "sudo echo "bleep" >> /media/KELVINTILT2/bleeped" [03:50] bash: /media/KELVINTILT2/bleeped: Read-only file system [03:50] k4ever: that is really really wieard [03:51] yeah. kinda spooky. mount is showing it as read-write [03:51] k4ever: I would suggest a reboot if you havent already... never know [03:53] James147: i have. i've had this problem for two days. google it to no end. rebooted several times. something with kde and hal is screwing up my drive. [03:53] k4ever: Just to check, the card dosent have a switch to make it read only/writelocked? [03:54] no, its a microsd. [03:54] k4ever: only other thing i can think to try is to reformat it and see [03:54] the card reader doesn't have a lock switch, either [03:55] ouch. its got 7gb worth of songs and data on it. i could try to scandisk with windows [03:55] k4ever: I would back it all up anyway... just in case [03:57] ok. well i'm going to try to find another usb drive to test. i might have another one in my car. then i will play around with it in windows. thanks for your help. will come back here later and post anything that i find. [03:57] kk cya [04:00] I don't have a mouse hooked up, how can i access the menu and bring up terminal? [04:01] coreyman: in kde alt+F2 [04:01] coreyman:for runner [04:01] thanks [04:01] coreyman: alt+F1 for menu [04:03] James147: Ubuntu has four package managers? [04:04] Isum: Probally why? [04:04] apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, kpackagekit? [04:04] James147: Well..wondering what they are and why you would need four [04:04] Although apt-get is the abckend to all [04:04] well dpkg is the backend to all [04:05] update-manager uses python-apt as the backend. im not sure that it uses apt-get under that..i thought they were parallel [04:05] dont know... [04:06] aptitude is great for command line, kpackagekit is kde4s and synaptic is gnoms [04:06] gnomes [04:06] answer to your question, you only need one. [04:07] coreyman: depends on your needs, you will need dpkg and apt-get, the others are optional but nice [04:07] yea i only use apt-get but like was stated, dpkg is the backend. [04:08] I tend to like aptitude... for the ability to mark packages as auto installed [04:09] wow this raid card is so stupid [04:09] ^^ === Kurosuke is now known as Isum [04:12] hello I am trying to install KUBUNTU, on setup at final screen , which we click install! button it tries to create the partitions, but in %5 it says failed to creat EXT3 file system partition [04:13] MehmetAli: is there only one partition on the system? [04:13] I'm only able to detect one device at a time on this card from within ubuntu I'm guessing...... The bios will only boot from a device plugged in to sata port 1, grub is set up for the device to be booted from sata port 0.... The live cd doesn't see my drive on sata port 1 [04:14] I have two NTFS partitions on same hardisk. and I have free partition 12gb.. so When i choose it in ubuntu.. it took 580 to swap, and rest amounr like 11 to ext3.. [04:14] and final screen it says language user name, and partition info which will format, when i click install [04:14] it fails to create partition in %5 [04:15] MehmetAli: did you select manual partitions or one of the automated options? [04:16] yes i tried like that too.. actually i erased both automatic EXT3 and SWAP partitions that have been created.. i had 12 gb. free [04:16] so manually created 1gb swap and rest EXT3, also tried ext4.. [04:16] that screen went next step.. but again in install screen failed to create partition. [04:16] MehmetAli: you could try manually formating the partiton iva command line [04:17] oh... well is there wiki for this? because this is my second day for linux :) [04:17] i have basic msdos knowledge but not gnu yet. [04:18] MehmetAli: i should be able to guide you though it :) [04:19] well right now im in windows, so i just checked from computer management section, its showing two partitions that kubuntu created, but not file system types.. so i would appriciate if u guide. [04:19] MehmetAli: Do you only have hte one computer? [04:20] yea, im student.. [04:20] :D [04:20] and i dont live in campus anymore [04:20] did the network work in the live cd? [04:21] oh yes... thats great.. so if i run live, i can open shell over there. rite ? [04:22] yeah, live cd is the entire system on a disk :) if you boot into it now and call me when you get back (quassel is the default irc client in kubuntu) [04:23] oki,, so c u from live kubuntu in 5 minutes james.. thanks for help. [04:23] no problem [04:39] hey is there anyone available for assistance? [04:40] i'm trying to access my cd-rom drive to install another distro of linux but it won't read the cdrom? [04:40] americanadian: Kubuntu wont read it? or your bios? [04:41] the error message is: "an error occurred while accessing 'pc floppy drive', the system responded mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device" [04:41] fd0... isent that for flopy disks? thourght cds where cdX [04:42] i guess so [04:42] if that's the case, i don't see cdX at all [04:42] americanadian: what gives you that error? [04:42] just: Home, Network, Root, Trash, PC Floppy Disk [04:42] clicking on PC Floppy Disk [04:43] trying to get this old POS to boot from CD - but it goes straight to kubuntu [04:43] even though i tell BIOS to boot from CD first [04:43] americanadian: what are you trying to do? burn an immage to the disk, or dose the disk already contain an image? [04:43] the disk already has an image [04:44] i am just trying to install another distro [04:44] americanadian: there should be a key you can hit during boot (before grub) to get a list of bootable devices, its usualy F8 or F12 [04:45] on this old POS, it's f2 [04:45] and i already got a list of bootable devices - i put the CDROM first [04:45] before hard drive [04:45] but it doesn't boot from cdrom - it goes straight to kubuntu [04:45] hence my problem [04:45] americanadian: hmm [04:46] i am wondering if installing kubuntu somehow disabled the cdrom [04:46] americanadian: is it possible to boot form usb? although maby not if its old [04:46] it's pretty old [04:46] it shouldent have [04:47] USB 1 [04:47] probally not then [04:47] hmm [04:47] dose the cdrom work at all? [04:47] it's really odd because it worked before when i decided to install kubuntu last night [04:47] but not now! [04:48] how do i check to see if the cdrom works? [04:48] So kubuntu comes pre-installed with compiz...or these effects are just part of KDE now? I have never used 4.x [04:49] Isum: kde4 has its own desktop effects as part of kwin [04:49] I see.... [04:49] They're pretty good..no crash so far... [04:49] Does compiz still fail? I haven't used it since it first came out. [04:50] Isum: Not so much I dont think, but I have never really used it [04:50] hi === sean is now known as Guest96770 [04:50] americanadian: is you cdrom listed in /etc/fstab? [04:52] so ya... firefox has a big ass memory leak [04:53] GinoMan_: thourght they where getting better? [04:53] i don't have an fstab folder [04:53] but i have etc/cdrom [04:53] I'm sure they are, but somehow I have a 500 MB firefox process with only 8 tabs open [04:54] whoops [04:54] i meant /cdrom/ [04:54] no etc [04:54] .... americanadian: /etc/fstab is a file [04:54] :) [04:54] oh [04:54] thanks [04:54]
