[00:35] hi I'd like to know why my kubuntu 10.10 is so slow [00:35] slow in which manner? [00:36] k [00:36] I got a x64 amdX2 processor with 3Gb of ram and a hdd of 320Gb [00:37] windows move jerkily [00:37] Vrejdac: are you using compiz, or kwin? [00:37] Kickoff menu is slow to open [00:37] Kwin [00:38] and the softwares are slow [00:39] Vrejdac: What video card do you have? [00:40] Snowhog, a Nvidia 8400GS [00:40] which driver? === serenity_ is now known as serenity [00:41] serenity I really don't know [00:42] Vrejdac: open up a terminal and type nvidia-settings [00:42] what happens? [00:46] serenity a windows appears [00:46] but there's no info concerning the drivers [00:47] Click Kickoffmenu>Applications>System>Hardware Drivers. It should detect appropriate drivers to install for your GC. [00:48] wqapol: that was my next try ;) [00:48] wqapol t's the number 173 which is recommanded [00:48] Vrejdac: Sure go ahead install it [00:49] this driver will increase the performance of your desktop effects like moving windows etc [00:49] wqapol it's installed [00:49] Vrejdac: Restart ? [00:50] serenity, of course I have the desktop effects like the cube but these effects are slow [00:50] wqapol, already done [00:51] Vrejdac: try to disable the blur effect [00:53] Vrejdac: For the PC of that specs it should have been reasonably fast, i mean very fast. [00:54] Vrejdac: You can check xorg.conf if nvidia drivers are being loaded. [00:55] Vrejdac: Open terminal. sudo nano /etx/x11/xorg.conf === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [01:10] wqapol it's displayed "GNU nano 2.2.4" [01:11] Vrejdac: Sorry its X11 (capital X) [01:11] wqapol what's the difference ? [01:12] Vrejdac: unix is case sensitive so x / X are different [01:12] Vrejdac: check the text next to Driver. Is it vesa or nvidia? [01:14] ahh typo again . its etc not etx. sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:14] wqapolI don't see the text [01:14] it's the same thing [01:15] the terminal seems to change into a text editor [01:16] Vrejdac: can you just browse to it in the browser instead? [01:17] Vrejdac: When you open the file browser (Dolphin) on left side click root then etc then X11 then xorg.conf [01:17] wqapol, it's a file ? [01:17] I can't see it [01:17] Vrejdac: yes [01:18] there are 8 repertory and 7 files but not Xorg.conf [01:20] Vrejdac: I dont know it should have existed as I know, I wonder how is it booting up properly. May be somone knowledgeable will come up soon . [01:20] I would check the X log for what driver is being used [01:21] in konsole grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:23] moetunes and then ? [01:23] read what driver it is using - there will be a few lines to go through [01:24] or just paste the X log [01:24] !paste [01:24] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[01:28] anyway it is not using the 3d graphics driver it is using the opensource ones [01:29] ouchh [01:29] nouveau = opensource nvidia driver [01:30] so I didnt update [01:30] nope [01:31] Scheiß. Okay mates I'm weary I've to sleep [01:31] see you tomorow [01:31] and thanks to all [01:32] luck [01:37] I am on kubuntu 10.04 now. Since I installed it yesterday, internet is poor (most of the times return 404 after long loading). IRC, torrent work perfectly fine. tried stopping them but still the same. Any ideas? [01:37] which browser are you using, wq [01:37] oops, wqapol [01:38] tried setting opendns and google dns in resolv.conf. [01:38] wqapol: firefox and chrome [01:38] and they are both slow? [01:38] hmmm [01:39] you might try konqueror, and /or rekonq [01:39] valorie: not slow in strictest sense, , when they load they load in a flash, but some times it keeps on loading and returns 404 [01:39] will try that now [01:39] that sounds like your ISP, maybe [01:39] throttling httpd [01:40] * valorie goes afk for a bit [01:40] valorie: i have been suspecting that, but torrents download without any interrruptions in speed. [01:40] I just name my router as the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [01:42] moetunes: you mean 192.168.1.1 ? [01:42] yep [01:43] yes it was so initially. === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [02:01] !List [02:01] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [02:10] Hi all. I just started using kubuntu. I've got a simple problem: [02:10] I've got two sound sources (both are detected). A logitech speaker system, and a pair of USB headphones. [02:10] I'd like to be able to switch between the two using the USB headphones' on/off switch, is this possible? [02:11] Right now, if I want to switch output devices, I have to open the kmix applet, and navigate through the menus to switch it. [02:11] EG: I have to select the `master channel` from the kmix menu. [02:11] I'm using kubuntu 10.10. [02:18] hmmm, have you tried using pavucontrol? [02:18] Nope, what is that? [02:19] I had to use it once, and those changes stuck [02:19] it is the gui for controlling pulseaudio [02:19] * b14ck installs [02:19] I'll check it out, thanks :) [02:19] now I never have to even open up kmix [02:19] good luck! [02:19] heh [02:19] Ok got it open, let' [02:20] *Let's see now... [02:21] valorie: were you able to use it to switch between your speakers and headphoens? [02:22] that seems to be automatic now [02:22] I plug them in, and the sound goes into them [02:22] unplug them, and it's back in the speakers [02:22] Oh I see. [02:22] Let me try to do that then. [02:22] which is the standard [02:23] Do you still run kmix? [02:23] To get volume control on your keyboard and what not? [02:25] actually [02:25] im going to rebood and check it out [02:25] brb [02:28] I have the widget === muesli_ is now known as muesli [02:50] Hi everyone, looks like I still can't get my headphones working. [02:50] They work under gnome which is weird. [02:50] But I can't actually seem to get *any* audio out of them under kde. [02:51] I would open alsamixer ina terminal and make sure they aren't muted [02:51] hrm [02:51] in alsamixer it shows as 00 [02:51] But I'm using pulseaudio I believe.. [02:52] And I also can't seem to adjust the levels in alsamixer. It just stays at 00 [02:53] Oh wait, if I hit f6 (select sound card) and swtich to my usb headphones, I can then altar the volume levels (PCM). [02:55] Going to give this method a try: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071124033643AAoxE3b brb [03:00] How do I properly mount a UDF dvd in kubuntu? [03:00] heh [03:00] that was a 3 year-old question and answer [03:00] Hrm, no good :( [03:00] Yah, I figured I'd give it a try anyhow though [03:01] pavucontrol didn't do the trick for you/ [03:01] ? [03:01] Nope =/ [03:01] It shows my headphone device. [03:01] oh, that sucks [03:01] But won't play anything through it. [03:01] Like, if I go to pavucontrol->Output Devices [03:01] I see them both listed there. [03:01] But I have no idea how to switch to the headphones (ad01 analog stereo) [03:02] Can someone _please_ help with mounting a UDF dvd [03:04] what's a udf dvd? [03:04] !mount [03:04] Partitioning programs !PartitionManager or !GParted (see also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mount partitions from System Settings -> (Advanced tab) Removable Devices. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter [03:04] who changed that botlink? [03:06] anyone have advice on how to mount a udf dvd in kubuntu? [03:07] RadSurfer: have you made a dir to mount it to? [03:07] I have temporary folders, yes [03:07] But nothing I've tried is working yet [03:09] RadSurfer: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/dvd /path/to/mount/dir normally works - what have you tried? [03:09] why does fstab have no references to cdrom/dvd ? [03:09] udev does it now [03:09] !udev [03:09] !info udev [03:09] udev (source: udev): rule-based device node and kernel event manager. In component main, is required. Version 162-2.1 (maverick), package size 418 kB, installed size 1480 kB [03:10] how can I have a '/path/to/dvd' when it isn't recognized yet? [03:10] sdc something or other? [03:10] RadSurfer: check in the /media dir [03:10] there is not 'cdrom' in /media presently [03:11] only floppy [03:11] which is always present [03:11] how to I determine my DVD drives designation please? sd(?) [03:12] RadSurfer: if you only have one hdd it will be sdb [03:13] I get this: "ount -t udf /dev/sdb /home/simon/folder # mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist [03:13] you could do ls /dev | grep sd [03:13] sda, sda 1 - 5 is reported [03:14] RadSurfer: for some reason the drive isn't recognised - is it old ? [03:14] drive worked 100% in Sidux, and under centos, fedora, mandriva, etc. [03:14] Why would kubuntu be any exception. [03:15] everything works until it doesn't... [03:15] and its only "not recognized" when it doesn't like a particular disc thats in it [03:15] put a "valid" disc in and its fine [03:15] so other disks work ok? [03:15] ok [03:15] yes! its only not reading udf and encrypted discs [03:15] this is only udf [03:16] any advice? [03:16] RadSurfer: you might have to burn them at a slower rate [03:16] sounds like rubbish [03:16] how can so many other distros not have issues [03:16] there's nothing I know of to get disk drives recognising a disk [03:16] well pooh. [03:16] at this rate I'm going to Aptosid [03:17] heh sorry [03:17] if I linked to another PC that could read this file, I could network it over. but sheesh! [03:17] it could be the drive starting to fail too [03:17] doubtful [03:18] you can see inside and know the laser is still lined up right? [03:18] it reads normal data dvd's + and - flawlessly, with no skips [03:19] it plays normal standard dvd videos with no skips [03:19] there's nothing more I can add.. [03:19] I thank you for your time. :-) [03:20] sorry I couldn't help more [03:24] gr8m8: For future, udftools provides the support in Kubuntu for UDF Filesystems and DVD/CD-R(W) drives. It isn't installed by default. [03:25] Snowhog: it was as simple as that? [03:26] RadSurfer: see what Snowhog said? [03:27] what? [03:27] install udftools [03:27] ah [03:27] Okay. Testing. [03:27] luck [03:28] something U have to reboot for :) [03:29] heh - if it was easy everyone would do it :) [03:29] brb === 77CAAFA20 is now known as juankrlos [03:34] Snowhog && gr8m8: udftools did it!

[03:43] this is nonsense [03:43] RadSurfer: try leaving out the -t option and see what mount figures out on its' own [03:43] I never had to go out of my way before [03:44] RadSurfer: Was the disc formatted in Vista? [03:44] whats vista? [03:44] RadSurfer: hehe [03:44] heh [03:46] http://pastebin.ca/2003467 [03:46] now what? [03:47] RadSurfer: leave the -t udf option out I meant - udf on it's own will do nothing [03:48] 'cept confuse matters [03:48] "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [03:49] even after installing udftools :( [03:49] sure fstab doesn't need to add that line? [03:49] ok - seems you are outta luck - I'll see what google.com/linux returns [03:50] thought I had it, but theres no access [03:51] RadSurfer: libudf0 - This library is made to read and write UDF filesystems; those filesystems are mainly used on DVDs. It isn't a dependancy of udftools. You might see what you get after installing it? [03:52] http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount - gives options for mounting udf - seems you need to have some options [03:55] options but no working examples. [03:56] drive starts up sometimes, as if its trying to read it, then apparently just rejects it [03:56] I noticed that - google.com/linux is your friend [04:15] RadSurfer: One still has to ask what OS was used to create the disc you can't read in Kubuntu.

I have installed nvidia drivers because nouveaux does not support cuda or composite [10:15] moetunes: but not the splash screen is horrible [10:15] moetunes: and I installed composite to show kubuntu off to friends and colleagues to convince them to switch off to kubuntu [10:15] moetunes: but now the splash screen is horrible, very UN-convincing [10:16] search for a theme then - I've never bothetred with it [10:16] !usplash [10:16] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [10:16] is that still valid? [10:16] moetunes: don't know [10:17] me neither [10:17] moetunes: do you know whether it is possible to force a specific screen resolution at boot time? like 1920 x 1200? [10:18] you can do that in /etc/default/grub - but be careful that you use an appropriate res [10:18] moetunes: in what sense apporpriate?

[10:37] diff cards react diff ways [10:37] !xrandr | noomin [10:37] noomin: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [10:37] not running dual screen -- laptop screen won't fiton desk w/ larger monitor... [10:38] does that matter? is xrandr still useful ? [10:38] noomin: I would put a xrandr command for the external in autostarted apps then [10:39] will it fail gracefully if the monitor is gone? [10:39] you could read the X log to see why it does that too [10:39] probably [10:39] moetunes: what's the difference between xrandr and TwinView (NVidia)? [10:39] amichair: you can't use xrandr with the nvidia driver iirc [10:40] nvidia does it thier own way [10:40]
