makuseruIm having some problems with Ktorrent. Sometime last week KTorrent started acting odd, and now when ever i open it my computer slows to a crawl, almost making it crash. Anyone know why this would happen and how I could fix it?05:40
valoriemakuseru: how about starting ktorrent from the console, so you can see some output?05:51
valorieand also run top or system monitor, etc.05:51
valoriesee what's going on05:51
makuseruvalorie: i wouldnt know what to look for in the console, but the system monitor reports 2% cpu usage.05:54
elcid_Does system monitor report root processes05:55
elcid_cause top doesnt unless you sudo?05:55
makuseruelcid_: it says if something is running as root.05:56
valorie2% sounds very low05:59
elcid_Yeah mines running 17-33%06:00
elcid_and top reports a lot more processes than system monitor06:01
makuseruThe only thing taking up significant % is xorg.06:05
elcid_try at terminal `sudo gnome-system-monitor' that will give you more "truth"06:08
elcid_i get ~64 processes invoking it as regular user and ~100 as superuser06:09
elcid_I just ran into this problem with another app, and i thought that I was looking at all processes in top, but I wasn't.06:11

Please  file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe07:24

nlsthznkubuntu 10.10, running KDE 4.6... windows not always refresshing as they should when I min/max them or scroll (firefox etc)... any ideas why?09:22
ct529Tm_T: not worried about it! Thanks a lot ....09:22
Tm_Tnlsthzn: hmm, which graphics card you have?09:25
nlsthznTm_T: intel... on a laptop... will be back soon ... sorry09:26
=== kronos_ is now known as kronos
nlsthznTm_T: Back.... it is Intel 945GME Express Integrated Graphics10:19
Tm_Tnlsthzn: do you encounter the same problem if you disable the desktop effects10:30
nlsthznTm_T: Unfortunatly not10:30
* nlsthzn needs his bling10:30
Tm_Tnlsthzn: I mean, could you try if it makes any difference so we have some idea what it might be?10:31
nlsthznto be honest I haven't had desktop effects off long enough but the few times I have it seems not to happen when it is off10:31
nlsthznwill turn it off now10:32
nlsthznQQ10:32
Tm_Tnlsthzn: if there's no issues when effects are off, try increasing the mem given to the graphics card from bios and see if that makes difference when effects are on10:33
nlsthznTm_T: Hmmm... not sure I can set that... (cause if I could I surely would have already :p)10:34
nlsthznwill have a look... thanks10:34
nlsthznHmmm I see there is still a lot of eye candy in KDE even without dektop effects (and the whole desktop isn't so sluggish anylonger)... I may need to keep it off regardless :)10:35
valorieTm_T: how on earth does one do THAT trick?10:37
valorieI've often wished for more graphics memory10:37
valorieof course, messing with the bios sounds a bit dangerous10:38
Tm_Tvalorie: messing with bios is always the first thing I do, and often there's an option to adjust the reserved memory for the integrated graphics in the bios10:39
nlsthznvalorie: if the bios gives the option to increase/decrease video memory it isn't "dangerous" per say :)10:39
valoriewow10:39
Tm_TI think in some cases it can be adjusted from Linux too10:39
nlsthznTm_T: I will check it out if and when I reboot again... for now I am happy without the effects... (may also get resolved later in a an update etc.)10:40
Tm_Tnlsthzn: yup, could be driver issue too10:41
nlsthznTm_T: that is 99% of the time the problem10:41
Tm_Tnlsthzn: not enough mem has been the most frequent issue in my use10:43

amichairjhohn: that looks ok, thanks. Too bad it's not there by default (what's there to lose?)13:11
jhohnamichair: A firewall needs to be run on an extra system. It makes no sense to run it on the system I want to secure with it. Just close all ports you do not need. Thats it.13:14
jhohnamichair: no open port == nothing to get in13:15
Tsunami1Me eat potatoes fast very13:15
amichairjhohn: my scenario is a netbook/laptop with some dev stuff on it (e.g. web server), but even without it, I see there's a cups port open by default... so it's not too secure when connecting to random wireless networks13:15
amichairI'd like to keep the ports open locally, but closed to the world13:16
jhohnamichair: For this using a seperate system as firewall will be best13:17
amichairjhohn: but it's a portable system... won't be carrying an extra one as a firewall anytime soon :-)13:18
jhohnamichair: configure the services to only listen to 127.0.0.0/813:18
amichairjhohn: I think that's more work and less secure than just using iptables, no?13:20

bluesceadai don't know, never did that15:16
bluesceadawait a while, maybe someone else can answer your question15:16
eternalalright, thank you15:16
bluesceadabut it's quite silent here somehow, ..15:17
bluesceadaeternal: maybe the wubi.exe is not compiled for either 32 or 64bit, depending on what windows version you have15:17
eternalis it normally pretty active?15:17
cortex|sketernal: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer15:17
bluesceadaa bit more active i think15:18
bluesceadadepends also on the time probably15:18
eternalhmm, alright i will read up on that15:18
eternalhowever, i downloaded the 64bit version of kubunto, i would have assumed it would have it work on 64 bit lol15:19
bluesceadaeternal: maybe you have a 32bit windows?15:20
eternali have 64bit15:20
bluesceadabut this is just guessing, i dont really know anything about it15:20
eternalno, i appreciate any help i can get. i did it before with 10.04 i think it was15:20

bluesceadait can also install some compatibility stuff or basic stuff you need like directx and .NET .. afaik15:38
bluesceadaand have a separate wine prefix for each app, so you can ideally setup wine for that app15:39
bluesceadaand... another hint ... try to run wine from shell and see the errors like open a shell in the directory where the .exe is and enter "wine xyz.exe" .. it might also show the missing .dll files on the shell then15:40

Loresanhi all, im looking to move from ubuntu to kubuntu prior to their 11.04 unity release. i was going to install kubuntu first but i was put off by some issues with KDE that were advertised. Are there any current major issues with kubuntu? or should it be stable and easy on the eye?16:39
Peace-Loresan:  kernels are the same16:39
Peace-so hardware should work in the same way16:39
Peace-kde 4.6 is a pretty stable release16:40
Loresanbasically what im hoping for is to NOT have to spend time post installation ironing out bugs16:40
Loresanok cool. thanks for the help :) im downloading the iso now16:40
Peace-Loresan: anyway...16:40
Loresani think it was 4.5 that had issues? or something like that16:40
Peace-welll kde 4.5.1 had issues16:41
Peace-kde 4.5.5 should not16:41
Peace-i am right now on natty kde 4.616:41
Peace-that is UNSTABLE16:41
Peace-on the kernel side16:42
Peace-kde is pretty stable16:42
Loresanyeah, that was part of my next question... how unstable is the alpha? is it worth installing into a virtual machine?16:42
BluesKajLoresan, there are some 11.04 issues with the new X1.10 stack , it can break X on your system by removing and "upgrading " some important xorg files ...I reverted to 10.10 which is much more stable and runs kde 4.6 without any problems for my setup so far16:43
Loresanok cool16:43
Peace-Loresan: it's not safe install an alpha expecially for noobs16:43
Peace-Loresan: i had problems with 10.10 kernel so ...16:43
Peace-i am on natty and lucid16:44
Peace-xD16:44
Peace-Loresan: http://blip.tv/file/4697114?filename=Nowardev-Kubuntu1104PreviewWithKde46882.m4v16:44
Loresanim a noob to kubuntu, i usually use fedora (due to the link between that and CentOS which i use for servers) but to be honest im falling out of love with fedora as a desktop16:44
Peace-Loresan: well... when fedora will remove your desktop with strange dependeces or freeze16:45
Peace-Loresan: i guess... you will change distro16:45
BluesKajPeace-, the 2.6.35.25 kernel wouldn't boot into X on my other pc on 10.10, so i had to remove in favour of the 2.6.35.2216:45
Peace-a lots of time it can depend from the hardware btw16:45
Peace-BluesKaj: well xx.10 for me is never a good release16:46
Peace-XX.04  is always better on my hardware16:46
Peace-:S16:46
BluesKajon older pcs the text based alternate install cd is best16:46
Peace-BluesKaj: yea16:46
Peace-used a lots of time16:46
genii-aroundI always have 2 installs going... the last LTS on one partition, latest dev on another. This way you have some recourse when things fail horribly16:46
Peace-genii-around: mee too16:47
Peace-:)16:47
Peace-lucid and natty right now16:47
Peace-home shared16:47
Peace-different user btw16:47
Peace-users16:47
rorkLoresan: do you remember which issues you worried about?16:47
Peace-Loresan: anyway take a look at this http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/what-you-should-want-to-do-on-kubuntu-10-04/16:47
Peace-Loresan: to set better dolphin16:48
Peace-Loresan: of course that is my point of view16:48
Peace-nothing more16:48
Loresanmainly it was KDEs stability but i have been assured that Kubuntu as a release is stable enough16:48
Peace-BluesKaj: xd http://nowardev.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/nonepomucknoserachstuff.png16:50
Peace-BluesKaj: ram usage16:50
Peace-:P16:50
BluesKajI hope the the X1.10 is fixed by the time it's official..I'm a bit worried because it was unfixable on my setup ... the clean 10.10 install was easy enuff with a /home partiton that saved my stuff16:51
Peace-BluesKaj: ??16:52
genii-aroundBluesKaj: So far I'm only having major probs with my big old laptop which has nvidia onboard. The netbook which is running identical setup otherwise has an intel and hehaves perfectly16:53
Peace-BluesKaj: i have added on natty xedegers ppa...16:53
BluesKajon 11.04 Peace-16:53
Peace-BluesKaj: that repository is not safe ... but of course it's safe if oyu know how to downgrade your driver..16:53
Loresanoh, i have another question.. would any of you happen to be using a sandy bridge processor by any remote chance?16:54
BluesKajgenii-around, aha , both my pcs have nvidia pcie cards , that's probly the focus of the prblem16:54
