FlashDeluxealvin: i have two raids, both raid1 and after a power failure my system doesn`t boot anymore :/ i booted  knoppix and i see that the raid is corrupt, it is loaded by the raid controller but in the system i only see http://paste.debian.net/99071/ now i am looking for a solution to get my data back09:53
alvinAre you by any chance using LVM?09:57
FlashDeluxealvin: yes there was lvm on it09:57
FlashDeluxebut i didnt find anything with pvck09:58
alvinIn that case, give us the output of blkid09:58
alvinIf you're using LVM, having no partition table on a disk is possible09:58
FlashDeluxethe output says /dev/cloop0: LABEL="KNOPPIX_FS" TYPE="iso9660"09:59
alvinI meant $ sudo blkid or # blkid09:59
alvinIf it says /dev/sda: UUID="......" TYPE="LVM2_member", you're good10:00
FlashDeluxei know what you meant, but thats all10:00
alvinOw, not good. first, you want your partition table or volumes back, but none can be detected?10:01
FlashDeluxeright10:01
alvinPretty weird for a RAID110:02

javier__Hi. I have a problem after upgrading to 10.10. The first day had problems with NVIDIA driver and I removed it and changed to open source driver, so graphics work well. But next day my laptop couldnt recognize WLAN card and driver was also uninstalled. I installed driver again (unplugged driver Broadcom STA) but still can't detect any wireless (and there are some). Someone knows how to repair this? Thanks!10:08
collabrajavier__, I suggest you maintain the 10.04 lts version of kubuntu,... my experience is that 10.10 is not a ready distro.... but that's just my opinion.10:14
javier__collabra: well, but going back there would mean reinstalling, and maybe that can be difficult once I'm at 10.10...10:14
javier__I would have to download distro and reinstall it, right? would it be easy to do that with lossing no personal data?10:15
javier__collabra: Im a bit amateur and I am a bit afraid of those things... that's why10:15
javier__collabra: anyway, it's something weird with this that I losed WLAN activity, because I have also installed Windows in a partition and it stopped there as well, so I'm thinking I could have broken somehow the hardware10:16
collabrajavier__, let me help you get your wireless working,....you might have a different experience than i did with 10.1010:17
javier__collabra: that would be great if you help me10:17
collabrajavier__, open a terminal and type:   sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces10:17
javier__done10:18
javier__auto lo10:19
javier__iface lo inet loopback10:19
collabrajavier__, arrow down to the bottom and add at the end: auto wlan010:19
javier__under "iface lo inter loopback, right?10:20
javier__line down that?10:20
collabraat the very end,... add room at the end by hitting <enter>10:20
javier__ok10:20
collabrahit <ctrl> <X>10:21
collabrahit 'Y'10:21
collabraand then hit <enter> to save it10:21
javier__ok, done10:21
collabraok,... reboot, comeback here and tell me if your wireless adapter was activated.10:22
collabrai'll wait10:22
javier__ok10:23
javier__not luck10:25
javier__Im using KNM10:25
Peace-Mamarok: ping10:25
Peace-xD10:26
javier__and there it is not ticked "inalambric nets"10:26
javier__like, it says it's inavailable10:26
javier__collabra: also, my WLAN adapter has a light, blue when working, and orange when disconnected. Button is in the position of connected, but light remains orange and I cannot turn it to blue10:27
collabrajavier__, hmmm,... do you only have one wireless device attached?10:27
javier__yes, only one... inside my laptop10:28
collabrajavier__, can you turn it on or off with a switch?10:28
Peace-javier__: wifi trouble?10:28
javier__it exists that switch, but no matter the position, light shows disconnected always10:29
collabraPeace-, yes javier__ is having trouble10:29
javier__even in turned possition10:29
javier__mhm, that's it10:29

collabraPeace-, i tried to have him alter his /etc/network/interfaces    to include at the bottom auto wlan0,... i thought it would activate it on a reboot,... I'm out of ideas10:29
Peace-collabra: but it works ? or it's only alight problem10:30
javier__one day suddenly disconnected  wlan activity and I saw driver had been removed itselve. I installed it back but still dont get wireless information neither connection10:30
Peace-collabra: i mean if only the light ...10:30

chiiiiizI have Kubuntu 10.1010:35
Peace-chiiiiiz: check in the service menu section on kde apps10:35
MamarokPeace-: pong10:35
Peace-Mamarok: xD looks like i write in a topic on kde forum where you answered before xD10:35
chiiiiizOK, I did not know this mùenu section, ... I give it a check10:35
MamarokPeace-: which is?10:36
Peace-javier__: ok your wifi10:36
Peace-Mamarok: :)  guess thisone http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=91193&start=1510:36
javier__Peace-: my wife? what you mean10:36
javier__wifi10:36
javier__:)10:36
Peace-javier__: your wifi can be used in 2 ways10:36
javier__but what about wifi?10:37
javier__mmm10:37
Peace-the first with a open source driver + firmware10:37
Peace-the second with ndiswrapper + windows driver10:37
Peace-so now10:37
Peace-lsmod | grep ndiswrapper10:37
Peace-empty?10:37
MamarokPeace-: well, you are wrong on Pulseaudio, it is mandatory in Kubuntu 10.10 now, and it works fine. The only missing thing is pavucontrol which is not installed by default10:37
javier__Peace-: yes, didnt get anything10:38
Mamarokit was not needed in Lucid, though10:38
Peace-Mamarok: mm pulse is really a bad thing to a video editors like me10:38
Peace-Mamarok: i am using 10.10 without it10:38
Peace-:)10:38
MamarokPeace-: well, that is something to complain about to the Ubuntu core devs10:38
Peace-Mamarok: i have to help the guy10:38
Peace-one moment :)10:38
chiiiiizPeace: can you be more specific about where I can find it? In which submenu?10:39
Peace-javier__: os i guess you didn't use the ndiswrapper way10:39
Peace-javier__: have you upgraded the kernel?10:39
javier__no, no, never used it10:39
Peace-soemthing like that?10:39
javier__yes, i upgraded kernel also10:39
Peace-ok wait  a second10:40
Peace-i guess you have to read and follow a wiki tutorial to get it back10:40
javier__Peace-: ey, one thing10:40
javier__I mentioned before, that very same day I found the problem, i went to my windows distrubution and founf the samething10:41
Peace-?10:41
javier__so, it may be that it's not recognizing my Wlan adapter, the hardware10:41
MamarokPeace-: no problem, take your time10:41
Peace-javier__: you mean widnwos didn't see the card?10:41
Peace-windows?10:41
javier__mhm, that I mean10:41
Peace-omg10:42
javier__so, maybe it's just wroken10:42
javier__?10:42
javier__broken10:42
Peace-mm i guess :D yes -.-10:42
javier__how can we see if there is a WLAN adapter?10:42
Peace-bad new :(10:42
javier__tipe something on terminal to check?10:42
Peace-javier__: i have seen that iwconfig doesnt show the stuff10:42
javier__mhm10:42
Peace-so looks like or the dirver is not on the kernel10:43
Peace-or... the device is broken10:43
Peace-but10:43
Peace-i guess that lspci should says nothing about the network10:43
javier__yes, it can be that. So, how could we check if device is broken?10:43
Peace-javier__: lspci | grep -i network10:43
Peace-shoudl not show the broadcom stuff if it si broken xD10:44
Peace-rigth10:44

Peace-yea10:44
Peace-i mean if it was broken ...10:44
javier__mmm, so probably is not broken?10:44
Peace-it should not appear10:44
Peace-javier__: but on windows before it worked and then ...  ko?10:45
javier__it's also a bit strange that it would be broken, cause I go to KNM applet and it shows that there is WLAN, but just say "not connecte"10:45
javier__mhm, just it10:45
javier__one day was working, next day wasnt10:45
javier__and also driver was uninstalled10:45
Peace-the driver is not unistalled10:46
Peace-but the kernel loads the driver10:46
Peace-when it needs them10:46
javier__ok10:46
Peace-javier__: maybe you have only to extract again the firmware10:46
javier__waw, how do you do that?10:46
Peace-i am searching on the wiki10:47
Peace-wait10:47
javier__ok10:47
chiiiiizPeace: this menu does not exist with me. I have no service files in .../share/kde4/... so no service menu. Shall this be created manually, or am I missing a additonal package?10:47

chiiiiizthanks for the tip10:52
Peace-chiiiiiz: feels free to ask or copy my service menu10:53
Peace-chiiiiiz: expecially the kdenlive service menu xD10:53

javier__Peace-: ufff, i read it, but dont really know what to do10:58
Peace-javier__: wow :)10:58
javier__I read about that b43 driver, and remember I had it before working10:59
javier__but i try to follow instructions for installing it without success10:59
Peace-lsmod | grep b4310:59
javier__actually, it tells me those packages are installed, but I cannot activate them throw "additional drivers" in settings, cause that driver doesnt appear there10:59
Peace-javier__: i will suggest to read my article about the driver11:00
Peace-i guess you could understand a lots11:00
javier__it gives no answer11:00
=== root is now known as Guest68289
javier__it just says that b43-fwcutter is installed in the newest version11:01
Peace-javier__: yea b43 fwcutter is used to extract the firmware11:01
javier__but I go to aditional drivers and cannot find it there, so I cannot activate it11:01
Peace-javier__: read this http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/kubuntu-904-driver/11:02
chiiiiizPeace: I see it is very easy to create indeed..11:02
collabrajavier__, I kinda want to say again that IF you can't get 10.10 working properly,... i never did,... just think about going back to 10.04 lts.... and be glad it stable and actually works.... I feel ubuntu should apologize to 10.10 user who have had a bad experience... I certainly did.  :(11:02
collabrajust sayin'....11:03
* Peace- eat11:03
javier__hehe, agree a bit collabra11:03
MachtinPeace-: btw. it's not X that crashes, but the system.11:03
Machtini can't do anything.. it's just freezing sometimes. can't activate num e.g.11:04
javier__Peace-: with sudo nano /etc/modules11:05
javier__I see which drivers are loaded in kernel11:05
javier__i can add this b43 there11:05
javier__but, which name do you thing I should add?11:05
javier__just "b43"?=11:06
Incarustry modporbe11:06
Incarusmodprobe11:06
javier__how modrobe?11:06
Incarussudo modprobe b4311:06
Incarusno error = works ;D11:07
javier__no answer=guess works11:07
Incarusright11:07
javier__mhm11:08
javier__I just have the feeling, if I go back to 10.04, it won't work neither11:08
javier__how to go back to 10.04 with loosing no personal data?11:08
Incarusdowngrade? not sure if that would work11:08
javier__waw, this is difficult then :)11:09
javier__Incarus: do you know how to check if my WLAN device is not broken?11:09
Incarusyeah, insert a live cd and test it ;D11:10
Incarusyou said it worked in 10.04? so burn a 10.04 live cd11:10
javier__hehehe, but I dont have a live cd11:10
javier__ok. Its only that is difficult, because dont have internet at home, Im at work, it will take time... hehe. But if there are no other possibilities...11:11
Incarusgrub can also boot from images I think11:11
javier__mmm, I didnt understand that very last thing11:12
Incarusnevermind.11:13
javier__so, guess I have to download back there11:13
Incarushow did you install 10.04?11:13
javier__upgraded from 9.1011:13
javier__im in kubuntu since 8.0411:13
javier__everytime upgraded successfully, except this last one :)11:14
javier__actually, worked well the first 5 days11:14
javier__but not better than LTS11:14
Incarusits important to allways have an actuall live cd ^^11:14
javier__mhm11:14
javier__I will learn that. But also, my laptop doesnt have CD reader11:14
javier__well, it's broken11:15
Incaruslive usb.11:15
javier__but I think I can use 10.04 from USB device, no?11:15
javier__mhm11:15
javier__so, that im going to do now11:15
Incarusyou can boot from usb if your computer could.11:15
javier__by the one, I'll ask you for one advice11:15
javier__my computer is 64 bits, but one of my main problems I have had all the time, is that it  overheats11:16
javier__would 32 bits keep it colder?11:16
javier__i may choose that one then11:16
javier__(now Im in 64 bits11:16
Incarusnever use 64 bit11:17
Incarusim not a fan of that11:17

Incarususe at your own risk11:18
Incarusjust use 10.04 instead11:19
Peace-javier__: i guess you could try a live cd11:19
Peace-of older kubuntu11:19
javier__mhm, guess so11:19
Peace-but what i think its device broken11:20
Peace-you have to investage better11:20
Incarusseems to be a regression for me, but you can try a live cd first11:21
javier__Incarus: so, i need one advice. i have separated partition for /home, so i will say not to format that. Just I will format / partition and install there 10.04, right?11:22
Peace-righ11:22
javier__ok11:22
javier__so11:22
Peace-smart guy :)11:23
javier__i will investigate if my device is broken, and if not, go back to 10.0411:23
Peace-but you don't need of11:23
Peace-install again just the live cd11:23
Incarustake attention wih the hidden config files in /home11:23
javier__live cd 10.10 or 10.04?11:23
Peace-Incarus: javier__ you have not create a new user to avoid problem11:24
Peace-i mean not the same name for different installations11:24
Peace-user1 for kubuntu 10.xx user2 for kubuntu xx.xx11:24
javier__but you mean create a new partition with new kubuntu?11:24
Peace-no11:25

javier__so i will replace11:26
=== petr is now known as Guest10094

javier__so, in that case, i will have a new home "/user2" and keep "/Javier" or is not related with home?11:26
Peace-javier__: yes11:27
Peace- /home/javeier11:27
Peace- /home/user211:27
javier__if I would give the same name, i would loose the information?11:28

javier__so11:28
Peace-and kde version errors11:28
Peace-stuff like that11:28
Peace-i mean different kde version has different configurations file11:28
javier__installing, if posible from live cd, kubuntu 10.xx, formating partition where i have Kubuntu 10.10 (patition /) and with a new user name11:29
IncarusPeace-, isn't it better if we haunt the problem and do not rate him to downgrade? I mean 10.10 must work as good as 10.04 and I'm sure he is not the only one with that problem11:30
Peace-Incarus: well i have seen a strange thing here11:31
Peace-Incarus: he said windows doen't recognize the device11:31
Peace-but before day x it did11:31
Peace-so ...11:31
Peace-then lspci list the device11:31
Peace-but iwconfig no11:31
Peace-so the driver is not loaded11:32

kieppiehi guys. I just installed kubuntu in addition to a gnome desktop. I've defined my hidden wireless network configuration , but I do not know & cannot see how to establish the connection. any help please?20:46
Peace-kieppie: mm20:47
Peace-kieppie: there is wicd-qt20:47
Peace-that is a nicer gui for this stuff20:47
kieppiesorry, but I should've explained. I'm familiar withthe extra tools like wicd, but I'd like to use the default setup, if possible20:48
kieppie... hidden wireless SSID20:49
Peace-kieppie: well i am a old kubuntu user and i have seen a lots of people getting mad with the standard network manager20:50
Peace-on gnome and kde20:50
Peace-always because the doemon is the same20:50
Peace-i guess the best choise is wicd doemon20:50
Peace-and a wicd interface20:50
Peace-if you wanna become mad your ways20:50
kieppietrue, but with gnome the default install actually works. I like wicd, but VPN support is pretty poor20:50
Peace-way20:50
* Peace- it's a video editor mainly20:51
Peace-daemon xD20:52
kieppiePeace-: installed wicd. still no dice21:07

progre55hi guys. how do you create an "extended" partition while installing ubuntu? I have 4 primary windows partitions, and as that's the max number of partitions, I'm deleting one of the recovery partitions. Then everywhere I read, they say you need to create an extended partition and that it can include swap in it.. but which options is that?21:51
redwolf1994i dont know anyone here is alive to say anything here21:52
redwolf1994except me and progre55 lol21:53
progre55=)21:53
redwolf1994im new to kubuntu as well and still learning21:53
progre55well, I'm not that new, but still got issues )21:57
valorieprogre55: are you installing from the LiveCD?21:59
valorieor from the alternate install21:59
valorieyou have a lot more choices from alternate21:59
valorieI think it's worth the download and time to write to thumb drive21:59
KageI have a question about setting up dual monitors22:01
progre55valorie: from a liveCD22:02
progre55valorie: I guess I should probably say "try" and use gparted..22:02
valorieprogre55: if you have the time and equipment, I strongly suggest the alternate install22:02
valorieliveCD is great for uncomplicated22:03
progre55valorie: well okay, let me try to download it then )22:03
valorieit's a smaller dl, too22:03
valorie:-)22:03
valoriesince it's all text22:03
progre55valorie: oh so it doesnt have a gui? hope I can figure out how to install and all )22:05
progre5525 mins to download..22:05
valorieI'm done it, and I'm the least techie person around22:06
progre55lol )22:06
progre55valorie: well, hope you're still going to be online in half an hour.. if anything goes wrong, I'll come to you! :D22:06
valorieI'll do my best, but there are lots of experts here22:07
ruediger_hallo22:07
valoriemost much more experienced than me22:07
progre55or maybe I should just use gparted? )22:08
valoriepersonally, I would suggest doing your partitioning first22:08
progre55I just need to create an extended partition, and I'm not sure if I should waste 25 mins to download an alternate cd for that)22:08
valoriepartitionmanager, or whatever you are comfortable with22:09
progre55gparted it is then )22:09
snarksterpartitionmanager is awesome22:11
shadeslayerpersonally ive had alot of issues with partitionmanager22:12
shadeslayergparted works the best for me22:12
shadeslayerhey valorie22:12
progre55oh, apparently gparted is not included in the kubuntu liveCD..22:13
shadeslayerprogre55: lol... why would it be? :P22:13
progre55well, cause ubuntu has it =)22:14
shadeslayerthe CD can only squeeze that much..22:14
progre55but the ubuntu livecd has gparted..22:14
shadeslayerthe ubuntu cd also has a me menu, a software center and whatnot22:14
progre55=)22:15
shadeslayerprogre55: gparted cannot squeeze into the kubuntu live CD, because it already is full22:15
valoriehi shadeslayer22:15
progre55I see22:16
shadeslayeris there a option to set TERM in konsole?22:23
redwolf1994right now at this time i am working on upgrading to kubuntu 10.1022:23
progre55so, another question.. what is the recommended amount of swap for a 400Gb linux partition with 4G ram and core i7 proc?22:29
shadeslayerprogre55: id say a maximum of 1GB if your not short on space22:31
progre55shadeslayer: max? maybe you meant min?22:31
shadeslayerand if you are short on space, anything between 300 MB to 500 MB22:31
progre55shadeslayer: I was thinking 4G actually..22:31
shadeslayerprogre55: nah... swap isnt used alot...22:31
progre55well, then let it be 2G =)22:32
shadeslayerlike... right now my swap is at 0.02 GB22:32
shadeslayerwhich is about 20 MB .... and my RAM is idling at 1.3 GB22:32
yofelprogre55: swap is an extension of your ram, so with 4GiB you won't need much (note that you'll need *at least* 4GiB of swap if you want to use hibernate)22:32
progre55yofel: I do use hibernate a lot actually..22:33
progre55and btw, my hd is 7200rpm, so I guess swap would also be faster a bit )22:33
progre55well, then 4G it is )22:33
yofelthen your swap space should be a bit larger than your amount of RAM, as hibernate completely swaps out the memory space22:33
Freddy2hi22:34
progre55yofel: ah I see, thanks22:34
Freddy2i just installed maverick from fresh, and after a few tries i can't get the window buttons (close, maximize..) in the left side of the bar.. am i the only one?22:34
Freddy2inside the config window they are the way i want, but no change is done no matter how many times i try to apply changes22:35
shadeslayerFreddy2: did you tick > Custom Config22:35

pablozanybody knows how to indent with spaces instead of the tabs default on kate  without changing the default?22:37
progre55should I have seperate partitions for home and root or can I just have a huge partition for root and have home in it?22:39
Freddy2you should separate them22:39
Freddy2also /boot, and optionally /tmp and /var22:40
pablozIOW I want to continue indenting with tabs on 9 of my currently 10 open documents in kate, however I must indent *that* external file with spaces... any hint?22:40
progre55any reasons?22:40
yofelprogre55: seperate /home is cleaner if you reinstall often, but as the installer can remove system files it's not that important22:40
progre55yofel: oh I see22:41
progre55then I'll keep them separate22:41
yofelas for /boot: I don't see much reason unless you have a reason for it, /var might make sense to prevent too much fragmentation on / as /var gets written to a lot, and I have /tmp on tmpfs22:41
progre55yofel: is 70G enough for root? or is it too much? )22:41
Freddy2besides you can use different filesystems.. i prefer XFS for /home and ReiserFs for / (Ext4 for /boot)22:41
pablozanswer to myself: "// kate: space-indent on; indent-width 4; mixedindent off; indent-mode cstyle;" then delete the line (or not) after (re)saving the document22:41
yofelprogre55: usually you won't need more than 20-30, I have 50, but I have tons of stuff installed + debug and devel stuff22:42
Freddy230 at most, assuming you keep together /, /tmp and /var22:42
progre55okay, I'll have 40G then22:43

Freddy2one more question: can you add a "show desktop" plasmoid in a vertical panel? i do, but it seems to be unvisible (i can locate it when editing the panel, but after that nothing is there)23:14
James147Freddy2: I can here (kde 4.5.2)23:19
Freddy2i can't nor in lucid 4.5.1 neither in maverick 4.5.3, don't know why (they work in horizontal panels in maverick)23:20
James147Freddy2: hmm... not sure why they would do that, you could try creating a new user to see if its a config problem23:23
Freddy2in maverick it's been tested in a fresh install, but still.. here in lucid i came from 4.4.x23:24
Freddy2anyway, i can try23:26
Freddy2nope, not working :/23:29
