| _rob_ | i have kubuntu 12.04 running on my laptop and everything was working fine until I just ran `apt-get upgrade` and now my wifi is broken. I cannot even turn it on. Anyone know how to fix this? | 03:29 |
| _rob_ | im guessing it replace my drivers with the wrong ones but i have no idea | 03:30 |
| rapidsp | _rob_: laptop brand? | 03:33 |
| _rob_ | vaio vpcf232fx | 03:35 |
| rapidsp | only `apt-get upgrade` or `apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade`? | 03:43 |
| _rob_ | only `apt-get upgrade` | 03:43 |
| rapidsp | i think it need `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade` | 03:44 |
| _rob_ | hmm, didn't think dist-upgrade would do anything since im on the latest beta | 03:45 |
| _rob_ | but i did `apt-get update` first | 03:45 |
| rapidsp | may be some modules does not upgrade | 03:45 |
| _rob_ | running it now | 03:46 |
| _rob_ | lol "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" | 03:47 |
| _rob_ | i did sudo | 03:48 |
| _rob_ | and nothing else is running afaik | 03:48 |
| rapidsp | some apt is running | 03:48 |
| xzuhto | I'm trying to connect to a remote server to work on some PHP via Bluefish HTML Editor. I'm not quite used to KDE yet. Could someone point me in the direction of where to make this connection? | 03:48 |
| rapidsp | ps aux|grep apt | 03:48 |
| _rob_ | another process was listed so i killed it then tried the upgrade again and same thing | 03:51 |
| JontheEchidna | the dpkg lock is stale then | 03:51 |
| JontheEchidna | !aptlock | 03:51 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 03:51 |
| _rob_ | just tried that | 03:54 |
| _rob_ | same error | 03:54 |
| _rob_ | and a reboot didnt fix it either | 03:54 |

| glisignoli | well, overwriting the hdd. I do have a linux rescue dvd I can boot from | 08:05 |
| glisignoli | basically I have a usb stick with kubuntu on it. Can't boot from it, but the stick is fine. | 08:05 |

| bazhang | overwriting a mounted and active one? the one you're on? | 08:06 |
| glisignoli | Well, the hdd won't be mounted. I'll boot the system off a system rescue dvd. | 08:07 |

| shredding | hello | 12:57 |
| shredding | I'm new to (k)ubuntu. | 12:57 |
| shredding | I'd like to install new software, but the software center is blank. | 12:57 |
| shredding | nevermind killall software-center did it | 12:58 |
| shredding | anyway: my real question: when i shutdown kubuntu, the shutdown process freezes at "shutting down tomcat" | 12:58 |
| shredding | how can i avoid thid? | 12:58 |
| DoctorPepper | shredding: stop tomcat manually before doing the shutdown | 12:59 |
| shredding | DoctorPepper: Thanks for your help. I'm really new to linux. is there a way to automate this, like a script that runs everytime before shutdown? | 13:00 |
| DoctorPepper | i dont know of any script that does that | 13:02 |
| DoctorPepper | are u running on a desktop or server | 13:03 |
| shredding | desktop | 13:03 |
| shredding | I'm not really sure, if I need tomcat. | 13:04 |
| DoctorPepper | in the case disable the tomcat service | 13:04 |
| shredding | So if there's a script that would prevent it from starting at first place, i guess I'm good. | 13:04 |
| shredding | How would I do that? | 13:04 |
| DoctorPepper | shredding: http://dotgiri.com/2009/08/31/alternative-for-chkconfig-in-ubuntu-sysv-rc-conf-enable-or-disable-services-at-startup/ | 13:07 |
| DoctorPepper | the use this software to the disable tomcat | 13:08 |
| shredding | thanks | 13:10 |
| DoctorPepper | you're welcome | 13:11 |
| shredding | would you mind to drop a word about the numbers (service)? | 13:12 |

| _rob_ | i did a `apt-get upgrade` on 12.04 b2 and my wireless stopped working | 16:25 |
| _rob_ | not sure what packages were included in the upgrade, there were about 100 of them | 16:27 |
| BluesKaj | I'm talking about your network manager error messages , if any | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | when you tried to connect | 16:28 |
| _rob_ | no errors, it just wouldn't let me connect | 16:29 |
| _rob_ | i thought it was a driver til i started digging through the package manager and found rfkill | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | yes , i've heard of rfkill before but usually it doesn't work , _rob_ , i think you lucked out there : | 16:33 |
| _rob_ | i guess so. I'm still wondering how it got blocked but it's working now so it's not important | 16:35 |
| _rob_ | if only i could get my cifs mounts to umount now on reboot and shutdown ... | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | _rob_, check your fstab settings , you may need to re-enter the cifs settings | 16:40 |
| _rob_ | BluesKaj, I think fstab is fine. The network shares mount fine, it just causes the system to hang on reboot. | 17:04 |

| voodoo123x_ | @hounddog: Have you installed the additional drivers? | 17:41 |
| hounddog | voodoo123x_, not yet... was a bit unsure... | 17:42 |
| hounddog | was googling around. | 17:42 |
| hounddog | hmmm just seeing they are installed | 17:42 |
| hounddog | in muon i see additional drivers 2 times... 1 is installed | 17:42 |
| voodoo123x_ | @hounddog: Open the menu and type "Additional Drivers" and you should see an option there. Install the driver for the graphics card from there if it is not already. | 17:43 |
| kilo12v4ku | @hounddog I installed the nvidia-current and it locked me up - figured Id look for help on the forums on that ione myself | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | hounddog, which gpus do you have ? | 17:43 |
| hounddog | gt 330m nvidia | 17:43 |
| kilo12v4ku | anyone have any ideas on screen res problems? | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | voodoo123x_, the @ symbol doesn't do anything on irc , just use the nick | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | kilo12v4ku,^ | 17:44 |
| hounddog | if i open the nvidia x server i get the message is not configured properly... will follow those steps. | 17:44 |
| voodoo123x_ | BluesKaj, Heh, thanks. More of a habit than anything. | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | you have 2 gpus what's the other one hounddog | 17:45 |
| _rob_ | the @ symbol does do something, it keeps you from using tab auto completion on nicks :p | 17:45 |

| hounddog | either i am blind or i cannot find the specs for the second gpu... | 17:52 |
| L3top | hounddog lspci | grep VGA will tell you the hardware. It can get a lot more verbose. Check out bumblebee for hybrid discrete graphics switching. | 17:55 |
| hounddog | ahh directly also shopws both | 17:56 |
| hounddog | thx | 17:56 |
| hounddog | http://pastie.org/3787630 there they are :) | 17:57 |
| hounddog | L3top, saw something about this | 17:57 |
| hounddog | will check it out | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | hounddog, looks like you have 2 nvidia gpus, 330m and 310m..first time I've seen that | 17:57 |
| hounddog | BluesKaj, look at the pastie, that is more accurate | 17:58 |
| L3top | np. I am currently writing stuff to completely disable the weaker for the stronger performer for am open source project that has a media center. | 17:58 |
| hounddog | i was sure it is intel and nvidia | 17:58 |
| L3top | It usually is intel + something | 17:58 |
| hounddog | i think those could be different laptop models | 17:58 |
| L3top | intel + intel is what is killing me. Trying to choose the "best" one. I just don't have the hardware... so I am presuming the first listed is the weaker | 17:59 |
| hounddog | L3top, if youare at it... i need a proper media center for my tv ... default one is crap :p | 17:59 |
| hounddog | i mean installed ON the tv :) | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | hounddog, sudo lshw -C video | 17:59 |
| L3top | This is a different project... it just HAS a media center. It is a whole house automation platform. linuxmce.org | 18:00 |
| hounddog | ok, sounds nice... i actually like xbmc... | 18:00 |
| hounddog | http://pastie.org/3787639 | 18:00 |
| L3top | feel free to take a look or join #linuxmce | 18:00 |

| hounddog | BluesKaj, just pasted it again in that pastie | 18:01 |
| L3top | There is nothing easy to reach on lmce... lol | 18:01 |
| hounddog | ok... | 18:01 |
| L3top | its just different. | 18:01 |
| hounddog | :) | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | right hounddog , intel and nvidia | 18:02 |
| L3top | If you would like to experiment I can throw code at you... but bumblebee is probably what you want. | 18:02 |
| hounddog | i know programming... but i do not know linux very well... would rather go the easy/secure way... | 18:03 |
| GH0 | What are the default groups assigned to a user when you first install Kubuntu? | 18:03 |
| L3top | I understand. It was more for me than you ;P | 18:03 |
| kilo12v4ku | where do I find out which vers of kubuntu it is I am running | 18:03 |
| hounddog | this morning i actually bricked my ubuntu install by messing with graphics | 18:04 |
| kilo12v4ku | hey hounddog me too...this is actually my fourth install since yesterday | 18:04 |
| hounddog | well, you are 2 installations ahead of me :p | 18:05 |
| L3top | kilo12v4ku: you can type lsb_release -c -s | 18:05 |
| L3top | in a terminal. | 18:05 |
| L3top | though I am sure there is a gui help/about way. | 18:05 |
| kilo12v4ku | cool ty | 18:05 |
| hounddog | http://pastie.org/3787668 this is the same thing where i bricked it this morning | 18:06 |
| hounddog | runing nvidia-xconfig | 18:06 |
| hounddog | L3top, looks like the solution has something to do with bumblebee according to forums | 18:08 |
| * L3top was pretty sure he said bumblebee 3 times | 18:10 | |
| hounddog | following that guide now and parying | 18:11 |
| L3top | dont forget to thrust. | 18:12 |
| hounddog | ? | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | hounddog, http://hybrid-graphics-linux.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Bumblebee | 18:13 |
| hounddog | BluesKaj, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee was following this atm | 18:13 |
| L3top | it was a play on words of your typo... nm | 18:13 |
| hounddog | lol | 18:14 |
| hounddog | :) | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | there's another script that some use called vga_switcheroo | 18:14 |
| hounddog | there is also something about some gui version some guy has built | 18:14 |
| L3top | It is my experience that bumblebee is more mature. | 18:14 |
| hounddog | ok... relogin... if i do not come back i am lost :p | 18:15 |
| L3top | How does lucid handle kdm startup? I know that /etc/X11/default-display-manager points to /usr/bin/kdm... but what is invoking that path? Is that an OS thing or an X thing? | 18:16 |
| === Mamarok is now known as Guest62079 | ||
| yofel | L3top: it's started by /etc/init/kdm.conf | 18:19 |
| kilo12v4ku | ok since more ppl have showed up....if i use the nvidia current I lose my 2nd mon, any ideas? | 18:20 |
| yofel | it doesn't show up in nvidia-settings? | 18:20 |
| kilo12v4ku | under sys settings it doesnt show up no | 18:21 |
| L3top | ty yofel | 18:21 |
| kilo12v4ku | never was able to get to nvidia-settings | 18:21 |
| kilo12v4ku | let me install it again but I really hate losing the real estate | 18:22 |
| yofel | kilo12v4ku: first check if it's installed, then try alt+f2 nvidia-settings | 18:22 |
| kilo12v4ku | gonna re-install it now | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | kilo12v4ku, don't jump the gun , check what yofel says first | 18:23 |
| kilo12v4ku | not there | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | did you do nvidia-xconfig | 18:24 |
| kilo12v4ku | and looking at muon and nvidia-current-dev is not installed | 18:24 |
| kilo12v4ku | I did that in install 3 and froxe the box | 18:25 |
| yofel | you don't need -dev | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | or did you ude jockey to install | 18:25 |
| kilo12v4ku | *froze | 18:25 |
| yofel | what you need is: | 18:25 |
| hounddog | so, screen is still working. | 18:25 |
| yofel | !info nvidia-settings | 18:25 |
| ubottu | nvidia-settings (source: nvidia-settings): Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. In component main, is optional. Version 280.13-0ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 901 kB, installed size 2152 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia) | 18:25 |
| yofel | and it won't show up in system settings if I remember correctly | 18:25 |
| kilo12v4ku | nvidia-settings is not installed | 18:26 |
| yofel | install it, that's what you use for multi-screen setup with the nvidia driver | 18:26 |
| kilo12v4ku | installing now | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | it's in the kmenu>apps>settings kilo12v4ku | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | kilo12v4ku, how are you installing it ? | 18:27 |
| kilo12v4ku | from within Muon | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | not the way to do it | 18:28 |
| kilo12v4ku | lol | 18:28 |
| GH0 | Is anyone here familiar with ACL's? I seem to be having a problem setting them up correctly. Right now I am trying to setup a file server so that only specific groups can access those files. Right now I have my base folder /srv/ setup for 755 with root:root as the owner:group. Beyond that, I have an Applications folder which is setup in /srv/storage/Applications which is setup like so: | 18:28 |
| GH0 | http://pastebin.com/0HWR2HJi However, I can't create files, and I am not sure if I just have the ACL's set up wrong, or if it something else I am doing. If I create a file I get: "andrew@server:/srv/storage/Applications$ mkdir test" "mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Permission denied" | 18:28 |
| kilo12v4ku | ok - whats the best route | 18:28 |
| hounddog | with me settings is installed but throws warning that i do not appear to be using nvidia x-driver... | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | open the kmenu kilo12v4ku , apps>system>additional drivers , choose the recommended driver and install | 18:29 |
| yofel | BluesKaj: he has the driver, he's trying to set up multiple monitors | 18:29 |
| === Guest62079 is now known as Mamarok | ||
| GH0 | The user that I am testing with is a part of the software group. | 18:30 |
| kilo12v4ku | ok installing that now | 18:30 |
| GH0 | Also yofel, the mounting issue that I was having, was a KDE Configuration error. If I change any setting, it fails. If I delete the .kde folder it works fine. | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | yofel, yeah, but is it the correct one | 18:30 |
| kilo12v4ku | i had actually refused to install one until on this kub install bc it was ticking me off (the loss of the 2nd mon) | 18:37 |
| kilo12v4ku | ok before I do what it is wantingme to do | 18:39 |
| kilo12v4ku | if I get frozen on the boot,,,how do I get to the cmd line? | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | ctrl+alt+f1 or 2 | 18:42 |
| kilo12v4ku | BluesKaj: it says I am not using Nvidia X Driver | 18:43 |
| kilo12v4ku | next question is there a way to start using it without having to reboot | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | kilo12v4ku, ctrl+alt+f7 or 8 | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | kilo12v4ku, try this at the tty prompt (ctrl+alt+f1) , sudo service kdm stop , then, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then sudo nvidia-xconfig , then startx | 18:54 |
| L3top | you should pkill X as well after kdm stop | 19:12 |
| ahmet | ATI RV370 DRİVER PARDUSA NASIL KURABİLİRİM? | 19:12 |
| L3top | it will drop to login prompt otherwise | 19:12 |
| meNtha | i want to buy a "new" laptop | 19:13 |
| meNtha | it has multitouch touchpad | 19:14 |
| meNtha | fe: dubble finger scrool, zoom with fingers, etc | 19:14 |
| meNtha | it will work on kubuntu/ubuntu? | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | L3top, never needed to kill X . kdm stop is sufficient | 19:19 |
| L3top | I always have. nvidia setup doesn't care about kdm, it wants X stopped. If stopping kdm was enough to stop x, then pkill X wouldn't do anything anyway. I don't see the harm... and for me, on lucid, I have to. | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | L3 | 19:21 |
| L3top | I am not trying to argue, just explain my rationale. | 19:21 |
| L3top | I do not claim to be right, it is just my experience. | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | L3top, Ifollowed that procedure I posted several times and and it always worked to install anew nviida driver... aamof i copied it from a kubuntu tutorial | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | but if you want to kill X then that's your business :) | 19:24 |
| alberto | HOLA | 19:26 |
| BluesKaj | L3top, lucid ? ..ok , that might explain it | 19:27 |

| hounddog | that is something with bumblebee... i have to start every program which i need 3d from now with optirun | 20:15 |

| yofel | odd | 23:24 |
| kilo12v4ku | w/o the nvidia driver I have both mons | 23:24 |
| yofel | well, to remove it you should use jockey usually | 23:24 |
| kb3gtn | If you want to remove the nvidia driver, do "apt-get remove nvidia-current" | 23:24 |
| kb3gtn | or jockey | 23:25 |
| yofel | if you do it via apt-get, you'll need to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand | 23:25 |
| kilo12v4ku | am i really missing anything by not using the nvidia driver | 23:25 |
| kb3gtn | well.. if your not gamming on it.. then no.. | 23:25 |
| kilo12v4ku | have had no luck rm the xorg | 23:25 |
| kilo12v4ku | no gaming except SWTOR | 23:26 |
| yofel | hm, some performance in 3D, vdpau (hardware video decoding - not needed unless you need fluent HD) and cuda I guess | 23:26 |
| * yofel uses nouveau - works fine | 23:26 | |
| kilo12v4ku | will jockey rm via gui? | 23:27 |
| lsv | one quick question for all my linux friends here. Does anyone knows how are the files in ~/.thumbnails/normal named? | 23:27 |
| kilo12v4ku | or do I need to ctrl-alt-f1 | 23:27 |

| kilo12v4ku | so uhm jockey common or jockey-kde? | 23:29 |
| yofel | jockey-kde | 23:29 |
