n8wive formated my swap partition n since then i keep gettin: swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=f3c84cbe-4f72-4921-a73c-1b7b7a7e330d00:11
Torchn8w: you cannot format a swap partition ;-)00:11
well_laid_lawnit prob has a diff uuid00:12
Torchn8w: the uuid has changed00:12
Torchn8w: adjust your /etc/fstab accordingly00:12
Torchn8w: get the new uuid with blkid00:12
n8wTorch:  ive been there,but i couldnt find the new UUID00:12
Torchn8w: from a shell, run blkid00:12
Torchn8w: it should list all file systems and swap partitions on your system00:12
n8wTorch:  ohh yee got it00:13
n8w/dev/sda7: UUID="798963f2-49d1-4eb8-8d1b-f5c211a50689" TYPE="swsuspend"00:13
n8wTorch:  hmm the weird thing is that gparted shows my swap partition as unformated00:13
Torchn8w: don't use gparted.00:13
Torchdolio: this is kubuntu ;-)00:14
Torchooops, sorry dolio00:14
Torchn8w: that was for you ;-)00:14
n8wTorch:  ;)00:14
Torchn8w: use kde partition manager if you want a GUI. or run swapon and swapoff from a shell to see if it works.00:15
n8wTorch:  hmm ive changed fstab,but after runin swapon -a i got this: swapon: /dev/sda7: software suspend data detected. Rewriting the swap signature.00:18
n8wTorch:  then ive run it again n i didnt get any output00:19
n8wTorch:  how do i test whether the swap is functional?00:19
Torchn8w: no output means no error.00:20
n8wTorch:  :)) though so00:20
n8wTorch:  shall i restart or smth?00:20
Torchn8w: cat /proc/swaps tells you if it's being used00:20
Torchn8w: no. this is not windows ;-)00:21
n8wTorch:  /dev/sda7                               partition       4208988 0       -100:21
Torchn8w: if the partition is listed, it's ok.00:21

brian___Hello03:46
brian___I've got a good number of issues03:46
brian___and I'm wondering if anyone feels like helping me03:47
brian___:D03:47
claydohbrian___: ask away, someone might be able to help03:53
brian___Alright03:53
brian___So after much deliberation03:53
brian___and a nice sale03:53
brian___I finally purchased a new laptop, an Inspiron 176403:53
brian___Now, I have come to discover, sadly, that it has a few issues with Kubuntu 10.0403:53
brian___Namely03:53
brian___The Wireless card installed doesn't work03:53
brian___as well as the hibernate function doesn't work either03:53
claydohhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Lucid/Reports/DellInspiron176403:55
claydohbrian___: so it seems the suspend issue is already known03:55
claydohbrian___: the wireless need the broadcom sta driver it seems03:55
brian___Strangely it seems to say the wifi thing isn't a problem03:55
claydohyes03:56
brian___Oh03:56
brian___I think I figured it out03:56
brian___Lol03:56
brian___But I still have to fix the suspend thing03:56
FloodBotK2brian___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.03:56
claydohbrian___: I was just goinf to say  that  ^^^03:57
brian___I guess the broadcom sta driver wasn't enabled by default03:57
brian___But this non hibernating thing is a serious issue03:58
claydohbrian___: usually there should be a prompt to install  the restricted driver you need, but you can do that from the Driver manager applet03:58
brian___I've got the driver installing for the wifi03:59
claydohbut also note this wiki page is one person's report iirc, perhaps someone has discovered a fix03:59
brian___http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=146068104:01
brian___TThere is apost there04:01
brian___Who claims to be able to solve both wifi and the sleep function04:01
brian___but it involves screwing with the kernel04:01
claydohperhaps this is fixed in the next version04:02
brian___Thats not out to October 10th is it?04:02
claydohright04:03
claydohbut trying a different kernel isn't too hard, it adds an extra entry to your boot menu, so  if it does not work, you can boot back into the previous one04:03
claydohbut you might also try a livecd version of maverick to see if it does supend, i  *think* you can suspend from a livecd, never have tried that myself04:06
claydohnew hardware often has thos sort of trouble sometimes, as the kernel folks have to figure out how the bits work04:07
* claydoh would love to have the problem of new hardware :)04:08
claydohno complaints, but my  7 year old laptop is just beginning to show its age04:09
lordganeshHow to establish internet connection to bsnl dsl modem in Knetworkmanager?04:48
apple_catlordganesh: How are you connecting to the modem?04:50
apple_catlordganesh: I'm assuming you want to use the internet on a kubuntu computer using your dsl modem. If you are connecting through ethernet in most cases the connection will be automatic, but if you are trying to connect through wireless it probably won't be automatic as you might have a password to use the wirless04:52

vbgunzim looking for a way to one click my system into going beast and consume all power for performance and then one click to go professional jew. anybody know of something like this?14:45
well_laid_lawnI use cpufreq and a bash script I made for that vbgunz14:46
vbgunzwell_laid_lawn: I have an idea how to set up solid-powermanagement in a script for that but that doesn't effect nvidias power management. I am only thinking in terms of cpu/gpu here. am I missing something or are those the only two that matter?14:47
well_laid_lawnI wouldn't worry about the gpu personally14:48
vbgunzif I leave nvidias power facility to remain at adapative I get some bad effect performance. everything feels just a tiny bit choppy. if I put nvidia at full performance, effects work out like a champ. so it does effect experience somewhat14:50
well_laid_lawnI no nothing about nvidias power management sorry14:53
well_laid_lawn*know14:53
vbgunzwell_laid_lawn: its cool. I just thought there would be a magical plasma widget that would balance this for me. I looked through them all and could find various monitors but nothing along the line of one click monster/wimp14:54
well_laid_lawnvbgunz:  evidently it is not too hard to make plasma widgets tho I haven't tried14:55
James147vbgunz: the battery widget can switch powermanagment profiles14:55
well_laid_lawnyou would still need cpufreq tho14:56
James147vbgunz: (also krunner)14:56
well_laid_lawno14:56
vbgunzI thought solid-powermanagement did this stuff. is that an aliad for cpufreq? I can using solid-pm query and set performance for my cpu14:57
vbgunzusing krunner and searching for cpufreq, a plasma widget did come up saying I need plasma-cupfreq14:58
well_laid_lawnthere you go then :]14:58
well_laid_lawn"a magical plasma widget"14:59
James147vbgunz: I would set up profiles in the powermanagement part of system settings, then use the batterywidget or krunner to switch profiles (you can set scripts to run when a profile is switched if it dosent have the settings you need14:59
vbgunzwell_laid_lawn: I can't help but think this will only affect my cpu performance. I was looking for something that would affect all performance including nvidia. btw, no repos seem to have the plasma-cpufreq package. an apt-cache search shows nothing either :/15:00
vbgunzgonna search for cpufreq, see whats up15:00
vbgunzright now I am using miserwares granola application. I am gonna see if that helps15:01
avihaysay, how do I switch between powerdevil profiles?15:02
James147avihay: the battery widget or type in krunner "power profile XXX"15:02
well_laid_lawnvbgunz:  afaik changing the gpu power profile is a fairly new thing - but I am far from all knowing...15:04
avihaysay, how do I switch between powerdevil profiles?15:04
well_laid_lawn<James147> avihay: the battery widget or type in krunner "power profile XXX"15:05

TaggnostrI'm having some problem configuring two monitors with an nvidia card. The first is connect through DVI and has 1920x1200 resolution and it works fine. The second is connected through VGA and has a 1680x1050 resolution, but the nvidia control panel shows 1280x1024 as max available resolution. How can I set 1680x1050?16:53

ScuniziWhere do I find the Akonadi control error logs?17:20
dasKreechScunizi: I think you can look at them from the akonadi systray applet17:22
dasKreechMostlikely they are in ~/.kde/share/apps17:22
ScunizidasKreech: ok.. I'll take a look.. on every boot Kontact report and error with Akonadi.. after stopping Akonadi and restarting it, it syncs fine and I have access to my contact data.. but the Akonadi server self test report a red "X" next to 1> No resource agents found 2> Previous Akonadi server error log and 3> Current Akonadi control error log.... drives me nuts.17:24
dasKreechScunizi: wouldn't #akonadi be a good place to query?17:25
Scuniziprobably.. didn't even think to see if they had a channel.. thanks.17:25

ScuniziJames147: thanks.. kpackagekit doesn't have a reinstall or purge option..21:50
James147Scunizi: hmm, yeah, kpackagekit is the newist packagmangment software and so is missing quite a few features... the one in maverick is shiny though :)21:51
James147(not that you should upgrade... yet... :)  )21:52
James147Scunizi: I tend to every now and then run: "sudo aptitude purge ~c" to clean up the config files :)21:53
=== jhutchins_kc is now known as jhutchins
James147( ~c  matches packages that have been removed but still have config files about: "aptitude search ~c" will list then)21:53
dasKreechThought that would match the home directory of anyone named 'c'21:54
James147dasKreech: not in aptitude as far as I know... at least I think it was ~21:54
James147yeah, ~c in aptitude matches removed (not purged) packages21:55
dasKreechah ok21:56
dasKreech:)21:56
James147dasKreech: also, cd ~j jsut says no file or directory found, dosent seem to match home21:56
dasKreechJames147: because you don't have a user named j21:57
dasKreechtry cd ~root21:57
James147ahh yeah :)21:57
dasKreech~/j is your user's directory labeled j under your home directory21:58
James147dasKreech: not sure how aptitude gets the ~c then :) ... but it does21:58
dasKreech~j is the user j's home directory21:58
James147 (also ~i for installed and ~p for not installed)21:59
James147s/p/d/21:59
dasKreechJames147: probably it's a fall through. If bash finds a user named c then it will replace that with a path since there isn't then it passes it along as is which Aptitude then uses21:59
* James147 wonders what happens if he creates a user named c22:00
dasKreechadduser d will probably break that22:00
James147:)22:00
dasKreechor c22:00
dasKreechtry it22:00
ScuniziJames147: yea.. I use apt-get a lot.. but sometimes I find a need for the graphical interface just to find a package that I'm not sure of how to spell or really even what it is.22:01
James147dasKreech: yup, it breaks it (silently :S )22:01
* James147 uses aptitude search for that...22:02
dasKreechJames147: thought so. Remove the user (or at least the home directory entry in /etc/passwd and it should work again22:02
dasKreechJames147: Not being able to spell greatly hampers conducive search without an autocorrect22:02
James147dasKreech: have you seen my spelling :)  and does kpackagekit autocorrect spelling?22:03
James147Scunizi: but eitherway, you sould be fine to use any commbonation of apt-get, aptitude kpackagekit or synaptic  without issue22:04
dasKreechJames147: I was speaking about Scunizi's comment. searching on the command line without having an auto correct and bad spelling is a little difficult22:05
James147(they all, essentually rely on dpkg )22:05
dasKreechThe comand line makes the assumption that you know what you are doing22:05
dasKreechThe Gui will do search as you type or some ridiculous thing like that22:05
dasKreechhelps a lot if you are clueless (which a lot of guis assume)22:05
James147dasKreech: the way I have seen kpackagekit work, it seems to work the same as if I did a aptitude search  (was ment to be my comment)22:06

James147Scunizi: the non free flash is in package: flashplayer-installer22:08
