wea0I recently upgraded from karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore.00:45
wea0I have since upgraded to KDE 4.5 and kernel 2.6.35 but that has done nothing to remedy the situation. What can I do?00:46

skierpage10.04 user here, I'm no longer getting notifications in my Plasma panel on hardware events (like insert USB drive)01:28
skierpageWhat was the panel widget or system tray option that showed these?  Or is something else wrong.01:29
wea0device notifier widget <-01:30
skierpagewea0, that was it, thanks a lot! (I was looking at System Tray Settings >Hardware Control)  I wish there was a "default Kubuntu panel contents and settings" page, every month I somehow lose it.01:34
apacheloggerskierpage: in 10.10 you will be able to create a default panel01:35
apacheloggerso you could remove your broken one and add a default one and be done with it ;)01:35
apacheloggerhowever I think not loosing settings would be the ultimate option here :)01:36
wea0You could try to backup plasma-desktop-appletsrc and restore it if your panel changes randomly. (Although that would also restore all your desktop widgets to the backed up state)01:38
skierpageSounds promising.01:43
skierpageI see KDE 4.5 packages are available for 10.04, http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-45 , any comments?01:44
skierpageDoes regular update not offer these because 10.04 is a long-term release, or because KDE 4.5 on 10.04 has issues?01:45
wea0During a release cycle package updates via the main repositories contain only bugfixes for the version of the program that was initially included with the release. Newer versions are available only through backports repositorys. This is not specific to KDE.01:51
wea0There are however some bugs with the KDE4.5 packages, e.g. bug 615865 and bug 615902.01:56

al_wea0 maybe you should check what modules have you loaded02:31
al_probably in the upgrade you lost your video card propietary driver config02:32
wea0I am running the latest binary driver from nvidia.com. Reinstalled it after the upgrade.02:33
wea0anyway, here you go: http://pastebin.ca/192808602:36
al_mmm, weird indeed02:40
al_did you checked the Xorg log ?02:42
al_only one thing could happen: Xorg version upgraded, old config needs reconfiguration02:43

drunkncrewI am new to KDE, long time Gnome user, but have only used KDE for about a day and am loving it. I have a question regarding Dolphin file manager. I opened Dolphin and went to (Settings-Configure Dolphin) and then went to the services menu and installed a few new services (e.g. convert RPM to DEB). I installed the service and clicked "apply" and then "ok". The problem I'm having is that I'm not seeing this new service in the02:47
drunkncrew right click menu when I right click on an RPM file. I have also installed a few other services and am not seeing either of them in the right click menu eigther. Is there something that I didn't do that I should have to see these new services in the right click menus or do services just show up somewhere else? Any help is highly appreciated.02:47
wea0al_: For what it's worth, glxgears gives 10000/5s with compositing on and 60000/5s with compositing off.02:49
drunkncrewAlso, all the services that I installed, show to be correctly installed when I go back to the install new services dialog02:49
wea0However, very simple things can cause huge CPU load. Repeatedly max/minimizing a window causes 100% utilization of one CPU core by the Xorg process (even with compositing turned off).02:51
wea0That doesn't sound normal to me. Does repeated max/minimizing cause hight CPU load for any of you?02:52
wea0drunkncrew: Services appear in the "Actions" submenu of the context menu.03:00
drunkncrewwea0: thanks for the reply. I just checked the actions submenu and it doesn't show any of the new services that I installed, even when I right click on the type of file that is related to that specific service that I installed. Is there something else I shold be doing when installing the new services via the configure dolphin menus?03:03
wea0drunkncrew: Works for me. For example I have installed the image2pdf service from the get new services dialog and it shows up for any image, without me having to configure anything.03:08
wea0(using lucid kde4.5 btw.)03:11
drunkncrewwea0: I'm using the same version you are, but it's not working for me :(. Thanks for the help though03:12
wea0drunkncrew: Services that you installed should show up in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ if they don't, try downloading the file manually and putting it there.03:15
Marcus_Hey, I had some questions I'm really new to linux.03:16
drunkncrewwea0: ya, I just looked in that folder and there is only one file "nsplugins.desktop" and none of the other services that I installed from the configure dolphin window show up there03:16
Marcus_I'm dualbooting my Kubuntu on my laptop (i'm on my pc atm) and i was wondering is there a way i can put a version of it on a USB, so that i just plug it into any computer i want, and run it like a regular program ( i would be doing this on windows comps)03:17
drunkncrewMarcus_: go to konsole and install ( usb-creator)  that will let you make a bootable USB with kubuntu's ISO03:20
drunkncrewMarcus_: or look for it in kpackageit03:20
Marcus_ok, another question I set my partition to half and half using the Kubuntu installer, it's been resizing it for 20 minutes, It's still at zero Have any Ideas?03:22
wea0drunkncrew: Download the service desktop file from one of those listings:03:24
wea0http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/servicemenu.xml03:24
wea0http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/servicemenu-downloads.xml03:24
wea0then put it in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and restart dolphin03:24
drunkncrewwea0: are you wanting me to download ( service.desktop) file, or are you wanting me to download an archive? I dont see (service.desktop) on either of those pages03:28
wea0You search the listings for the service you want to install. There you will find the download link.03:37
wea0E.g. you want image2pdf, then you will see that the download link is http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/servicemenu/downloads/118537-image2pdf.desktop03:38
drunkncrewwea0: k, just downloaded a .dektop file and placed it in the directory you told me to and made the file exectuable, but no dice03:38
wea0You put it in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and restarted Dolphin? Worked for me.03:40
drunkncrewwea0: ok, the manual installation worked this time, Thanks for all yoru help03:41
wea0hooray ;)03:41
drunkncrewjust wish I could get the other way to work though, but hey, I'm fine with this, thanks again man03:41
wea0OK, now you need to solve my problem ;)03:48
wea0I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore.03:48
drunkncrewwea0: I just found out where the services were being saved to when I tried to install them via the configure menu in dolphin ( /home/drunkncrew/.kde/share/apps/servicemenu-download/) when I pressed install service, it only downloaded the archive file but did not install them. I'm glad I fingered it out. But couldn't have done it w/o your help.03:48
drunkncrewwea0: is it just dolphin that crashes your system or is it everything?03:49
wea0dolphin seems to be the only program that has those 10s hangs. Doesn't crash though03:50
wea0However, very simple things can cause huge CPU load. Repeatedly max/minimizing a window causes 100% utilization of one CPU core by the Xorg process (even with compositing turned off).03:51

Khaoticomg how do i set up an ftp server07:37
johnny_is there any difference installing from the alternate installer disc versus the live cd disc?  how difficult is it to install from the alternate installer?07:42
johnny_i care not for the graphical installer, but i want the same system setup at the end of the installation as the live cd one.07:43
DarkriftXKhaotic: install one and run it07:43
DarkriftXjohnny_: id expect both will give same setup07:43
DarkriftXmaybe slightly diff boot07:43
DarkriftXlive cd boots to the live version unless told to install07:43
johnny_DarkriftX: Hmm okay thanks.07:44
DarkriftXit installs via gui. the non gui version (which i normally use) just boots to a semi gui installer07:44
DarkriftXso one installs via an app from the live cd desktop, the toher installs via a bootable gui07:44
johnny_Yeah I'm aware of that. I'm just curious if there's a difference between the final setup is all.07:44
DarkriftXalthough i havent installed via livecd in 4 years so it might have changed07:44
DarkriftXi wuold really doubt it07:44
johnny_I plan to use the alternate install cd.07:44
DarkriftXwouldnt make sense for that to be the case07:45
johnny_Okay great. Thanks a lot.07:45
DarkriftXwould be a support nightmare :P07:45

ohhokok from where i can get the them ?09:35
macodownload the iso, burn it to a cd, and then boot from the cd09:36
ohhokI have already download the 1 from www.ubuntu.com, But its not fully functioaning09:36
macooh?09:37
macohow is it not functioning?09:37
macoi doubt its related to the cpu09:37
macoohhok: its past my bedtime. i'm dragging apachelogger in here to help you09:38
apacheloggergood morning o/09:39
ohhokhello does any body know which kind of hard drives youtube is using ?09:45
=== jt|away is now known as jtheuer
apacheloggerohhok: various I would suppose, why do you ask?09:45
ohhokhow they manage too much uploaded data daily ?09:45
ohhoki am asking just for general knowledge09:45
apacheloggerohhok: Google has a vast resource of both bandwith and storage, so I doubt it is much of a problem for them ;)09:46
ohhokyah i am trying but i am not getting the proper anwer from that resource09:46
apacheloggerohhok: it is a bit off topic here, but there are means to channel this easily ... for example you can have a server only accept upload requests and then redirect those requests to different servers (which is probably how youtube does it)09:47
ohhokthats why i came here because may b some one having proper answer09:47
apacheloggerso you have like upload.example.com which really just redirects the upload request to storagenode192.example.com09:47
ohhoki c09:48
apacheloggerthe retrival operation would then go the other way around09:48
ohhokbut wht about hard drives ? how much hard drives they using ?09:48
ohhokor they using only one hard drive ?09:48
apacheloggeryou have playback.example.com which redirects your playback request to say cache11.example.com, which is then accessing storagenode192.example.com to get the data09:48
apacheloggerohhok: multiple hard drives, on multiple servers09:49
ohhokAre they the same hard drives like a pc holds for home usage.. or they are the specific ones09:49
apacheloggerohhok: Wikimedia (the organization behind e.g. wikipedia) got nicely documented server setup http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers09:50
ohhokok Thank apachelogger, Let me check it out09:50
apacheloggerohhok: that is difficult to answer without insight ... but they could very well be regular hard drives09:50
apacheloggermore likely they are however slower09:51

hazamonzo__They just disappear for no reason while im using kde16:38
hazamonzo__that command was exactly the one i was looking for16:39
hazamonzo__TommyMann: See what i would do? Tell people what you have tried already and the problems you have had16:39
hazamonzo__that way people can help you a little better16:39
TommyMannall I tried was running both the tar and deb from adobe because youtube said I needed a flash update16:40
RickiiBETAhelp for changing default folders?16:40
DarthFrogRickiiBETA: Have a poke through System Settings and see what you come up with.16:41
glaucousI have to reset the settings of composition effects, in what subfolder of .kde do the settings exist?16:41
hazamonzo__TommyMann: I think you might have better luck with the flash that comes packages with kubuntu16:41
TommyMannmy repos are empty16:41
hazamonzo__i think you might want to try the flash non-free in the package manager for kubuntu16:41
TommyMannit's weird16:42
akssps011Where can I find theshared folder between host(win) and guest(kubuntu) on a virtual box16:42
TommyMannI used kubuntu back in 6 but my comp died and this is my first comp since16:43
TommyMannand stuff is different16:43
akssps011I have set up the shared folder, but I didn't find it anywhere in kubuntu16:43
TommyMannwhy doesn't the package manager list everything or is that jacked up16:43
BluesKajTommyMann, you can try nspluginwrapper with 32 bit flash , some ppl had success with it16:44
DarthFrogakssps011: Why don't you put something in the vbox Shared Folder, then search for it in the host OS?16:44
RickiiBETADarthFrog: i looked and didn't find anything, so i got Ubuntu Tweak, but it isn't working16:45
DarthFrogRickiiBETA: What exactly are you trying to do?16:45
akssps011DarthFrog: vbox shared folder is in the host only16:45
akssps011DarthFrog: I tried searching for the shared folder in guest using find / -name <sharedfolder name> but nothing turned up16:46
BluesKajakssps011, try dropbox ..it has a free option16:46
akssps011dropbox ?16:47
DarthFrogakssps011: Host OS is Windows?  Then the shared folder will be a SMB share and you will have to browse it.  Or mount it in the Linux vbox.16:48
BluesKajit's a web app , but it works well for sharing folders between linux and other OS's , akssps01116:49
DarthFrogakssps011: In your Kubuntu vbox, open konqueror and browse this URL: smb:/16:49

akssps011DarthFrog: "this might be caused by an enabled firewall"16:51
DarthFrogakssps011: Nope.16:51

prowerhello again :> i've been encountering a few weird bugs since i switched over to kde from gnome...one i've just noticed is that if i play a video in vlc the screensaver is suspended (which it should be :>), but after closing the program it remains suspended...you can still lock the screen manually though. Anyone else seen this, or worked around it possibly? ;>16:53

TommyMannDarthFrog I got the flash issue fixed through adobes resources, I'm just freaked out about the lack of packages in kpackagemanager17:04

BluesKajit won't matter , TommyMann , your repositories are still the same, no matter which package manager you use17:08
BluesKajor even apt-get or aptitude , all rely on the same repos17:09
TommyMannsynaptic is kosher, the issue is kpackagemanager was listing nothing under packages17:10
TommyMannsynaptic is listing everything properly17:10

BluesKajozzy, it requires the iced tea browser plugin17:18
DarthFrogBut so does Firefox. :-)17:18

DarthFrogSounds like it.17:21
dan457;-)17:21
Spezihi guys, i'm planning to replace the hdd in my laptop with a bigger one. i have a kubuntu and a vista installation on it .. would it be possible to create a complete image of the hdd on an external device, write that image to the new hdd once i get it, then boot the system(s) and adjust the partition sizes w gparted to fit the larger hdd? if possible, is partimage or dd the perferable tool, or sth else?17:21
ozzythanks again17:22
ozzy:)17:22
dan457dd is slow but safest way to go.17:22
BluesKajozzy, that need java prompt is incorrect..it just doesn't react properly to linux n=based browsers, that's a common incorrect message17:23
DarthFrogSpezi: You could do it that way with Linux (though that's not the way I'd do it) but, dollars to doughnuts, you'll wind up having to re-install Windows.17:23
BluesKajerr linux based browsers17:23
dan457Since he'll still have his original drive, it's not like it's a problem if something goes wrong.  He can try again.17:25
BluesKaj!ghost | Spezi17:25
ubottuSpezi: If you own an IRC nick that is currently being used, you can make it change nicks by typing: /msg nickserv release <nick> <password> | If you have a dead (ghost) connection, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password> | further help in #freenode17:25
BluesKajoops wrong ghost17:25
* DarthFrog thinks that wasn't what BluesKaj intended. :-)17:25
SpeziDarthFrog do you think windows would die due to the process of taking and rewriting the image or sth else?17:26
BluesKajDarthFrog, hehe , nmo kidding :)17:26
DarthFrogSpezi: Personally, I think Windows will take any opportunity it can to cause problems.   And you won't get any support for it here.17:26
akssps011BluesKaj: dropbox is aboon for me...thanks a lot17:27
akssps011*a boon17:27
Speziof course ... i messed with windows a lot already though .. if at least my ubuntu installation would work afterwards, that would be enough to start with17:27
DarthFrogSpezi: my advice:  Do a backup of your home directory.  Re-install Kubuntu on your new HD (after installing Windows first if you must).  Then restore your home directory.17:28
BluesKajakssps011, it's a simple fix , not as secure as accessing directly from one partition to another, but it works17:29
akssps011BluesKaj: well worth the effort if I installed virtualbox, andd then kubuntu on that virtualbox and then hell lot of other apps, just to make a metapackage for offline use and then when shared folder didn't work in vbox :)17:31
SpeziDarthFrog: ty, sounds like the best way to go ... though i'll maybe try the way i described first, just out of curiosity ;)17:33
DarthFrogSpezi: Have fun. :-)17:33
Spezithat's what i'm up to, tbh :D17:33
dan457Spezi: Doesn't hurt to try it as long as you make no changes to your original disk.17:33
Spezidefinitely won't do that until i'm finished :)17:34
BluesKajDarthFrog, is there a way to create a /home partiton on an existing install, the alternate install didn't seem to give that option when I partitioned the freespace with ext4 during the install17:35
BluesKajI have both on this server , but I'm hoping to change the setup on my old desktop17:37
DarthFrogBluesKaj: Of course you can.  First, move /home to /home.bak.  Then "mkdir /home".  Then mount /home on your new partition.  Then copy (or better yet, rsync) /home.bak to /home.   To make this permanent, write the appropriate parameters in /etc/fstab.17:38
DarthFrogThis is my fstab line:  /dev/sdc1 /home          ext4 defaults 0 017:39
James147DarthFrog: ^^ dose that need to be done from a live cd? or at least while kde is not running due to programs trying to acces files in /home?17:40
DarthFrogJames147: Umm, don't have anything running? :-)  You can do it on the fly.17:40
James147DarthFrog: I have a sep /home :) just know mount complains when you try to unmount it... so I assumed moving it could cause problems as well17:41
DarthFrogI'd do it from a TTY session though. (i.e. CTL-ALT-F1).17:41
James147Yeah, logout and tty should be enough... just wanted to check :)17:42
BluesKajok cool , thanks DarthFrog ..BBL17:42
BluesKajI'll login back in here on the desktop pc17:42
DarthFrogJames147: Don't know about that.  Unmounting will be problematical and would need to be forced.   Never tried renaming a mounted partition.17:43
James147DarthFrog: I ment generally for just moving /home ^^ (mentioned mounting as as I thourght it might be a problem)17:44
DarthFrogJames147: It shouldn't be an issue.  I've done it with /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin on my servers.17:45
DarthFrog /bin is tricky. :-)17:45
James147:)17:45

DarthFrogBut mounting them on individual partitions allows me to mount them ro and chattr +i.17:46
DarthFrogSo that if the server does get cracked, the black hat can't install a rootkit.  I also mount /tmp as nodev, nosuid, noexec.17:46

EnzoplexHello everyone. I'm having an issue with GRUB. The error message I receive is "error: the symbol `grub_puts_` not found".19:05
EnzoplexI am trying to restore GRUB, but when I get to "insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod", I get the same error message.19:05
DarthFrogEnzoplex: Are you restoring GRUB by "sudo grub-install"?19:06
Peace-!grub | Enzoplex19:06
ubottuEnzoplex: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.19:06
EnzoplexDarthFrog: I can't get that far. I'm at the "grub rescue>" prompt19:07
DarthFrogEnzoplex: Ah.  Follow the link that Peace had the bot give you on howto restore GRUB.19:07
EnzoplexPeace-: That would be helful, but I get the same error when trying to load the linux.mod file19:07
Peace-Enzoplex: use a dvd live or a cd live19:08
DarthFrogEnzoplex:  In a nutshell, boot from a LiveCD, mount your Linux system, do a bind mount on /dev, /proc & /sys to the linux mount, then chroot to the linux mount.  Run grub-install from the chroot environment.19:09
EnzoplexWhat is a "bind mount"?19:09
DarthFrogmount -bind /dev <linux mount point>/dev19:10
DarthFrogi.e. bind the LiveCD dev, proc & sys to the mounted linux system.19:10
DarthFrogso that when you're chroot'ed, it has access to the necessary resources.19:11
EnzoplexBooting from the LiveCD19:11
EnzoplexUh....19:12
EnzoplexSo maybe not19:12
EnzoplexI think it just "fixed" itself. I rebooted to get the LiveCD going. Turns out I don't have it set to CD first. I then get the GRUB menu. But now, I have the "(initramfs)" prompt.19:13
EnzoplexI think the latest kernel is an issue on my desktop. I loaded up the previous kernel and all seems well.19:15
EnzoplexDarthFrog: Per your initial inquiry, should I run "sudo grub-install" and have GRUB re-built?19:16
DarthFrogEnzoplex: Well, if you're booted into your system, you shouldn't need to.  You can try "sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a" and then "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if that fixes any problems.19:18
EnzoplexDarthFrog: OK. I will do that now. Thank you.19:18
DarthFrog"sudo dpkg --configure -a", sorry, not --reconfigure.19:18
Enzoplexlol. I was just about to ask about that19:19
EnzoplexNothing came back, so I'm guessing that everything is fine.19:20
