robertzaccourhow do I make my USB webcam default?03:58
hanibanaI've installed amd64 kubuntu and have 4 GB physical memory. But, free commands shows 3824 MB total. What's wrong?05:29
hateballhanibana: some BIOS do stupid reservations05:30
hateballfor instance on this DELL I have, it reserves ~600MB for whatever arcane reason05:30
hanibanaany command to see the reserved amount?05:32
hanibanahateball: or just see BIOS settings directly?05:33
hateballhanibana: I guess that'd depend on your BIOS, if dmidecode would show anything05:35
hateballhanibana: you dont have shared memory with the GPU then?05:35
hanibanahateball: don't know.  Going to find ways to check both... thanks ;)05:37

hanibanaHow can I migrate my Kontact data from my previous system (Fedora 14) to Kubuntu? any folder to copy? is there any database?06:36
L3tophanibana: checkout ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/07:01
L3topor ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/  depending07:01
hanibanaL3top: copied, but no todo/contacts in new Kontact.07:05
Tm_Thanibana: it should be enough if you launch akonaditray, make backup of your akonadi database with it, and then restore the database from backup in the new system07:05
hanibanaTm_T: ok, going to test...07:06
forgeausdoes KDE have a network utilities equivalent?07:06
forgeausby that I mean ping, whois, tracert, etc07:06
lordievaderforgeaus: Linux has ping, traceroute and an equivalent for whois doesn't spring to mind right now. Hold on.07:08
forgeausno I mean a gui KDE4 tool07:08
forgeausNetwork tool or network utilites depends on what OS/System you come from its usually called something like that07:08
forgeausapparently Ubuntu has one (gtk based I guess by the look of it)07:09
lordievaderforgeaus: Phew good question, I don't know of any gui who can do this.07:10
Mamarokforgeaus: you should have a look at http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KSniffer?content=2625807:21
Mamarokbut unfortunately it hasn't been ported to KDE407:22
hateballforgeaus: you can use zenmap07:28
hateballugh07:28
hateballI see the ubuntu packages have silly dependencies07:28
Mamarokbut I don't really see the need of a GUI tool for these services, much easier to do in a konsole07:30
hateballthe nmap syntax can be quite daunting if you're a first time user :)07:32
hanibanaTm_T: my previous OS is really broken due to file system issues. But, I have its .kde files. Any other way?07:33
Mamarokforgeaus: I suggest also searching in http://qt-apps.org/ and http://server-apps.org/07:33
Tm_Thanibana: copying all the related files, ~/.config/akonadi/ among the others07:34
hanibanayeah ok.07:36
Mamarokforgeaus, hateball: maybe this: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/nmapsi4?content=9851507:36
Mamarokmore info is here: http://www.nmapsi4.org/07:37
Mamarokand it is in the Ubuntu repos07:38

level15hi, all: i have 3 LVM volumes on 3 different servers. I formatted them as ext 4. They all mount fine. However, when the system is booting, it complains it cannot check them because of too high revision of the FS or damaged superblock (see http://pastebin.com/RVgrFk5U). If I do file -sL /dev/vg00/bacula_backups, it says it is indeed an ext4 FS, mounted or unclean. ANy ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.14:59
BluesKajlevel15, you may wait a while for a resonse to that kind of question here, maybe the ppl at #ubuntu can help since they have more than 5X more helpers then we do.15:05
level15BluesKaj: yeah, I already asked over there, too. Thanks :-)15:06

ikoniainteresting15:13
akispaste15:14
ikonialevel15: out of interest, if you just do a fsck /dev/vg00/bacula_backups15:14
ikoniawhat happens15:15
level15same thing, fs rev too high, no valid superblock15:15
ikonialevel15: the -r flag doesn't actually set it to ext4 as I'm reading15:15
ikonia(I've never used the -r flag)15:15
ikonia-t ext4 would be creating it as ext415:16
level15ikonia: yes15:17
level15but -r4 is supposed to do that too15:17
ikonianot as I read it15:17
ikoniacan you run a "tune2fs -l /dev/vg00/bacula_backups"15:17
level15tune2fs also says invalid superblock blah blah blah :-(15:18
patrisshello15:18
ikonialevel15: very interesting,15:18

level15i can increase it a little bit15:19
patrissin our Kubuntu Pangolin we don't have yet the global shortcut for kwin, it's a bug?15:19
ikonialevel15: I'm just wondering if you can make a test lv for me please.15:19
patrisss/shortcut/shortcuts/15:19
level15ikonia: what would that be? though i was just reading and i think you are right about the fs creation15:20
level15it was wrong to use -r 415:20
ikonialevel15: yeah, I think that's the glitch15:20
level15weird that file -sL /dev/... says it is ext415:20
level15jeez this is all sooo weird15:21
ikonialevel15: as I'm reading it appears there is no "revision 4" file system, so that may explain the problem15:21
ikonialevel15: if you can create another LV, then do a proper ext4 creation and FS check on that new volume, I'd be interested15:21
patrissyesterday we hare lost some packet with the deinstallation of kubuntu-desktop, we have retreave use from the lastest kde 4.8.x but we have notice this now…15:21

level15hey, ikonia, thanks a lot for helping me figure out the issue15:32
BluesKajpatriss, also , aptitude still works , but it's not actively supported any longer afaik , so your dependencies may not be resolved as cleanly as with apt-get15:32
patrissok, so what can I do ? apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop ?15:33
BluesKajpatriss, yes15:33
ToeKutterwow i had constant issues with Application menu's not wanting to come up. Is this normal for this Distro ?15:33
patrissok I have done a apt-get remove aptitude too ^^15:34
patrissBluesKaj: I should quit the session to do that?15:35
patrissX, I want say?15:35
ikonialevel15: bad news, the info I've found says you can't change the revision without re-applying the file system15:36
ikonialevel15: I don't know how solid that information is though15:36
BluesKajpatriss, no need to quit session15:37
patrissok, well I send the command line15:37

phoenix_firebrdcancer: what about 32/64 bit?20:27
cancerqouted from the link; 'sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run (I don't install the 32bit compatible OpenGL libs. That might cause a problem. Others I answer yes.)'20:28
cancerphoenix_firebrd: ^-^20:29
phoenix_firebrdcancer: what is your kubuntu is it 32 bit or 64 bit?20:30
phoenix_firebrdcancer: why didnt you install 64 bit opengl libs?20:30
cancerphoenix_firebrd: i tried to confirm about kubuntu bit's but didn't find the way.20:31
phoenix_firebrdcancer: so is your kubuntu 32 or 64 bit20:32
cancerhow to check that?20:32
phoenix_firebrdcancer: lsb_release -a20:35
phoenix_firebrdcancer: what does the first line say?20:36
phoenix_firebrdcancer: try "arch " command20:36
cancerNo LSB modules are available.20:36
canceri68620:37
cancerphoenix_firebrd: arch | i68620:39
phoenix_firebrdcancer: yours is 32 bit20:40
phoenix_firebrdcancer: install the opengl libs and drivers that are 32 bit20:40
canceropengl libs, what if they are already installed. any query?20:40
yofelcancer: nvidia ships their own openGL libraries, so just install their 32bit driver20:41
phoenix_firebrdcancer: if its a default install do noting, but if you had installed a 64bit version with arch override then uninstall it and install the 32 bit one20:42
Joitcancer try getconf LONG_BIT20:42
cancer3220:42
Joitthen its 3220:42
cancerthanks.20:42

phoenix_firebrdcancer: ok21:02
Joitcancer:  trow that card out or get an other monitor lol21:03
Joithow do you connect them now both?21:04
luke_66hi everyone21:04
Joitthey have different adaptors21:04
cancerhow to install java?21:05
Joitcancer lok in muon or your package manager for openjdk21:05
Joitcancer: i cant find any models for e72, the one i can find is e7421:09
Joityours is maybe a different brand?21:10
cancerJoit: sorry my mistake, e7421:10
cancerthat's it.21:10
Joitah. yeah then i got it21:10
Joithow do you connect both? did you make cables by your own?21:10
cancerJoit: no, it's DVI connector.21:10
luke_66i have a problem after an update. which log i cold check? i'm in /var/log/upstart, error semms to be related to ConsoleKit, btu i'm checvking /var/log/upstart/module-init-tools.log and i've found FATAL: Module rtv not found. what i can check? kdm start succesfully but i dont have any login prompt...21:10
cancerusing Connector or can say adapter as well.21:11
luke_66*FATAL: Modulertc not found21:11
Joithttp://www.superwarehouse.com/IBM_E74_Black_17_CRT_Monitor/63324HN/ps/38577 it says here 15 mini sub21:11
Joiti would crude say, that the drivers suspect a dvi monitor21:13
Joitexpects, is it21:15
cancerJoit: yes, that could be the issue, and so i'm searching for the proprietary nVidia Quadro driver to use all of the capabilities of your graphics card21:15
phoenix_firebrdcan this package be removed "xserver-xorg-video-all" or is it a critical one?21:17
cancerJoit: and the max resol. mentioned there isn't right. i'm using it on 1280x1024 60hz21:17
cancerphoenix_firebrd: at my hand Nvidia-common is installed.21:17
cancer01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV30GL [Quadro FX 1000] (rev a2)21:18
cancerJoit: so if it's like that you suspect, any idea for solution?21:18
cancerphoenix_firebrd: may be said right about Nvidia-common :D21:19
cancerJoit: that's what we all think might be a reason.21:19
phoenix_firebrdcancer: sorry man i cant understand what you are talking21:19
Joitcancer i look right now through related stuff but not sure, which one sounds good. either looking for older drivers as you want, or disable certain 'features' at the driver21:20
cancercertain features you mean by?21:20
Joitcancer: like autosets ?21:20
cancerdon't know about that.21:21
cancerlets try21:21
Joitor may you go first back to a lower resolution, could be, that the new driver dont support the higher one21:21
phoenix_firebrdneed to restart brb21:21
cancercurrent resolution is 1024x76821:22
Joitwell, i dont wanna now ask you to install the driver and reboot, or ?21:23
Joitwell i am still looking for more21:24
cancerJoit: tell me where to start?21:24
Joitcancer: did you try to install the driver, and then compile the kernel for acpi off?21:24
cancerdon't know?21:24
canceri was asking in room early today about kernel.21:25
Joitat the link you posted eralier, it said, you need to compile your kernel21:25
Joiti saw that a bit, that you did21:25
Joitthe last answer i did read, was, that someone said, you dont need to compile the krenel21:25
luke_66i have a problem after an update. which log i could check? i'm in /var/log/upstart, error seems to be related to ConsoleKit, but i'm checking also /var/log/upstart/module-init-tools.log and i've found 'FATAL: Module rtc not found.'. what i can do? i'm using kubuntu 12.04, kdm start succesfully but i have no login prompt... already checked dmesg | less..21:25

Joitcancer, compare the kernel like a core, what manage the main input and output ebtween your inputs, the hardware and the software21:27
Joitcancer: does that make sense for you?21:27
Joitopenos: with your package manager21:28
Joitcancer: the kernel is simple the core code, what manage the communication between all parts21:29
cancerJoit: nothin21:29
apacheloggercancer: it is the heart of the system21:29
apacheloggerwithout it *nothing* works, in fact the system would not even start21:29
cancergot it.21:29
Joitcancer: ok. when a computer starts, it does nothing first. you need a software, what identify your hardware21:30

Joitcancer since when do you use comjputers?21:33
Joitluke sorry, not from me, its spanish for me21:33
cancerJoit: that's not my point, i mean with linux.21:34
apacheloggercancer: kernel business is nothing you need to immediately worry about21:34
apacheloggerit is really really really low level21:34
Joitcancer: well windows works similar, its just not that open21:34
apacheloggercancer: also FWIW ... every operating system has a kernel :)21:34
openosWhat is The Best System font In KDE21:34
apacheloggerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)21:34
Joitcancer:  thats the main point from an 'operating system'. that it provides a interface, where you can comutate with your pc21:35
cancerOK21:35
Joitthats why they make this basic code. the rest is software, what is executed and do funny and sometimes weird things21:35
cancerJoit: right21:36
cancerso how to configure/tweak it?21:36
Joitnot sure, this acpi is a power management function, its used to save energy or boost performance21:37
Joitbut i ve read, that it can make sometimes problems, even i never had some with it21:37
cancerOne question, what if i install those 64bits drivers in current os?21:37
apacheloggerwhat do you want to configure?21:38
Joitbut with noacpi for pci (pci=noacpi) you turn this management off21:38
Joitthey mostly dont work together21:38
* cancer lost21:38
Joitits like the driver does ask something, but the system dont understand it21:38
Joitpci are the slots on your motherboard where your soundcard, graphic card is in21:39
Joitthey call it pci, but the standard is now different for graphic cards,21:39
Joitits agp now or higher21:40
Joitbut they still handle it as pci21:40
Joitand with the command above, you tell  the core code, not to use energy management at your graphic card21:40
cancerJoit: you want me to dialbe pci slots?21:40
Joitcancer: no, my point is, to compile the kernel with acpi off21:41
apacheloggerOo21:41
cancerHOW? that21:41
apacheloggerthat does not even make sense21:41
Joitif this would help after this howto, but compiling a kernel is quite some work21:41
Joitapachelogger: he had a howto, where they suggested that21:42
apacheloggerwhich howto is that and what is the problem to begin with?21:42
yofelI *think* he wanted to install a specific nvidia driver a while ago, and got the 64bit one but runs a 32bit system - that's where I stopped following the discussion21:44
Joitapachelogger: http://shitohichiumaya.blogspot.de/2012/01/using-nvidia-quadro-10000m-lenovo-w520.html?m=121:44
Joitapachelogger: his problem is a e74 ibm monitor and a nvidia fx1000 card21:44
yofelJoit: and the driver from the archive doesn't work?21:45
cancerJoit: will it effect my XP by disabling 'acpi'21:45
Joityofel:  he has a vgs to dvi connector and it anyhow doesnt21:45
Joitcancer:  when you disable it at the kernel, then not, when you do it in the bios, then maybe, but it doesnt mess really21:46
Joityofel: dvi to vga cable21:46
apachelogger(most BIOSes will not allow you to disable ACPI)21:47
Joitapachelogger:  thats the monitor http://www.superwarehouse.com/IBM_E74_Black_17_CRT_Monitor/63324HN/p/3857721:48
yofelJoit: meaning nvidia-settings isn't seeing the monitor, or...?21:48
Joityofel: i think so too, not sure at all21:49
cancerJoit: can you please paste the like for kernal solution describing acpi disabling?21:49
apacheloggerxrandr -q knows more21:49
apachelogger(regrading the detection of screens)21:50
Joitcancer:  you would need to go through how to compile the kernel, there you can disable acpi21:51
master_./21:51
Joitcompiling it, means, you build it by your own, create a new code21:51
Joitbut it takes a while mostly, until it did makea new kernel21:52
Joitlot of work, where most dont want to do21:52
Joitfor me 1 hour mostly, and when i checked the wrong options, it simple didnt work :P21:52
cancer[02:20:08] <Joit> cancer i look right now through related stuff but not sure, which one sounds good. either looking for older drivers as you want, or disable certain 'features' at the driver21:53
canceri didn't expect this from the above qoute :-p21:54
cancer:D21:54
apacheloggerJoit: that is wrong21:56
apacheloggeryou can disable acpi via a boot argument21:57
Joitapachelogger:  well its the howto from this card manufactor, when you wanna use a vga monitor with a apadter21:57
Joitapachelogger: with is it?21:57
apacheloggerwhere does it say that?21:58
apacheloggerpci=noacpi21:58
apacheloggerif that fails to work acpi=off, though that is not advised as it can mess up things21:58
Joitapachelogger:  here ->> http://shitohichiumaya.blogspot.de/2012/01/using-nvidia-quadro-10000m-lenovo-w520.html?m=121:58
apacheloggerit does not say anything about compiling your own kernel there21:59

cancerand please have a look on it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185378321:59

Joitgive me a minute :p22:01
cancerjust want to know if that easy one will work for me.22:01
* cancer waiting22:01
Joitcancer it should do it. there is once the posibillity to start your system with your own commands or edit the file, where the commands are in22:03
cancerand afraid it can also over heat graphic card.22:03
Joitit cant overheat it, it may even runs only slower22:03
Joitthats why they implemented it :P22:04
Joitdo you have a driver at your system what you can try?22:04
Joitdo you know how to add commands at the startup?22:04
cancernot exactly, that what only we saw. there are more with issue after doing that stuff.22:05
apacheloggerJoit: it won't run slower22:05
apacheloggerwhich leads to the van working all the time22:05
apacheloggerto prevent overheating22:05
cancerJoit: yes i think i can edit that from grub. but better to add it with nano.22:05
apacheloggerwhich makes that approach only temporarily sensible22:05
Joitapachelogger:  if you can criticise every second sentence i write, hows about you help him fruther to go through?22:05
cancer:D22:05
apacheloggerotherwise the fan might need to be replaced ^^22:05
canceri only have to edit this right? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off pci=noacpi"22:06
apacheloggerplease lave out the acpi=off22:06
apacheloggerfirst try with noacpi22:06
apacheloggeracpi=off will turn it off completely22:06
apacheloggerwhich in turn makes every fan in your system work overtime as everything will run at maximum speed22:07
cancerapachelogger: that 'acpi' is about a power we plug in card right? ;)22:07
cancer:)22:07
apacheloggerJoit: I am not criticising, I am just informing you :)22:07
apacheloggerbut if it disturbs you I can stop22:07
cancerapachelogger: is this right then? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=noacpi"22:07

Joitand i have for sure forgotten all this stuff in 2 days, because i have other things in mind22:08
apacheloggercancer: yes22:08
cancerJoit: please, be cool. that was also in my mind, i browsed before implementation. so asked that question.22:08
apacheloggercancer: acpi is the entire power management22:09

apacheloggeryes22:11
cancer/etc/default/grub OR /Boot/grub?22:12
apacheloggercancer: also technically speaking, in case you are interested, pci is a bus standard ... you could imagine it as a motorway for data inside the computer22:12
apacheloggercancer: /etc/default/grub22:12
cancerapachelogger: is that called the word Joit used 'criticising' :-p22:13
cancernano -i /etc/default/grub   ?22:13

Joitbut i enjoy leaning back and just to watch, dont worry22:13
cancerit's opened with this command: nano /etc/default/grub ?22:14
apacheloggerJoit: might have been in grub1 times,back then the file was /boot/grub.cfg22:14
apacheloggerwe since switched to grub2 which allows for a more elegant way of dealing with configuration creation/editing22:14
apacheloggercancer: kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub22:14
cancerGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=noacpi"22:16
apacheloggercancer: also to continue on my pci description ... how the datagets on the motorway is not particularly important, it may be through a card you plug in or it may be a chip directly built into the computer22:16
canceri'm using card.22:16
Joithttp://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-grub-configfile.html22:17
apacheloggerPCI itself primarily defines how software may use a device attached via PCI22:17
cancerthere is built-in too.22:17
apacheloggersimply put it defines the language you use22:17
apacheloggerJoit: yup, that'd be grub122:17
LexingtonNCNew here. Can't get Streisand to DL22:18

apacheloggereven most laptops do (for example the video chip is mostly builtin whereas things such as a SD card reader are in fact pluggable)22:19
apacheloggercancer: run `sudo update-grub`22:19
cancerone thing still left. Drivers.22:19
Aluminhow can I get Apper to stop reminding me that an upgrade to 12.04 is available every 5 minutes?22:19
apacheloggerthat command will apply your changes to grub22:19
cancerwhich one to install, current/recommended 173?22:19
AluminI'm like...I'M GETTING TO IT!  :P22:19
Joitapachelogger: but you still need to run update-grub, to update the /boot/grub/conf.cfg22:20
apacheloggercancer: current should be 29522:20
draikHow can I update GRUB2 so that it can pick up my new drive?22:20
apacheloggerwhich is what should work for you according to the howto22:20
apacheloggerdraik: update-grub22:20
cancerhttp://paste.kde.org/486482/22:20
draikthank you, apachelogger22:21
apacheloggerJoit: yep, though it does more things now... essentially it aggregates informations/configurations from varoius places to build the final configuration22:21
Joitwell i wont ask why you need to run the update to change the grub.cfg22:21
apacheloggerJoit: e.g. you can write a scrip that helps update-grub to autodetect operating systems22:21
apacheloggerJoit: scalability would be the answer if you had asked :)22:22
apacheloggercancer: yah, that's fine22:22
apacheloggernow just install nvidia-current and it should work22:22
apacheloggeryou may also use jockey-kde, which should automatically download and configure everything22:23
Aluminactually, on of my friends was having trouble setting up a dual boot with GRUB2 the other day 'cause it wouldn't see her new drive22:23
apacheloggerJoit: a more immediate reason is that this is the way the system expects it to be done ... i.e. if you were to change the config directly as soon as you install a package that triggers update-grub it would overwrite your changes22:23
LexingtonNCAlumin, there is a setting (sorry, I saw it in passing) that will allow you to completely skip a particular upgrade. Use it for now and then reset it to default when you get ready.22:24
cancerapachelogger: http://imagebin.org/21376222:24
Aluminwe tried everything we could think of, including running update-grub I dunno how many times22:24
Aluminit never showed up to grub22:24
apacheloggercancer: on what version of Kubuntu are you?22:24
cancer11.1022:24
Aluminbut here's the strange part: GRUB2 auto-populated entries for the other OS, but when you tried to boot it it would say "no such disk" and the tab completion never showed anything other than (hd0) and its partitions22:25
apacheloggerAlumin: was there something installed on the other drive and did the system see it (e.g. did it show up in partitionmanager)?22:25
apacheloggerAlumin: BIOS might need an update then22:25
LexingtonNCNo I have NOT quit22:25
AluminBIOS update to see two disks at once?22:25
apacheloggergrub very much depends ont eh bios to provide accurate information regarding the devices22:25
cancerapachelogger: http://imagebin.org/213762 ????22:25
apacheloggerAlumin: might just be that the bios has problems with the firmware of the hardware22:26
apacheloggercancer: please update to 12.0422:26
Aluminthe hard drive in question worked in that computer before22:26
cancercan't do it now.22:26
apacheloggerAlumin: with grub?22:26
Aluminyeah22:26
apacheloggercurious then22:26
apacheloggermight well be a grub bug22:26
Aluminso basically what she's trying to do is put a new drive in, install Linux Mint, and then dual boot between that and her current Debian install in case she doesn't like it22:27
cancerapachelogger: one question, will that grub edited text will do any harm?22:27
apacheloggerno22:27

Joityes22:27
Joitits not a big deal22:27
Joitthe changes you do make with this22:27

Aluminbut then riddle me this22:28
cancerJoit: with wt?22:28
Joitwt what?22:28
Aluminhow do the menu entries for it get auto-populated?22:28
apacheloggercancer: in that case you will have to download the driver from nvidia's website and manually install it22:28
canceryou mean, changes i have made.22:28
apacheloggercancer: quite honestly upgrading to 12.04 seems like the more economic solution here22:28
cancerapachelogger: OK22:28
Joityes, acpi on or off is no big deal22:28
apacheloggeras it already has 295, plus updates in the kernel might have made the acpi config unnecessary to begin with22:29
cancerJoit: i sometime don't shut off system for 24 hrs :D22:29
apacheloggerAlumin: through Linux :P22:29
apacheloggerAlumin: as I said, grub depends largely on the BIOS to provide accurate information22:29
cancerapachelogger: let me to the nvidia official site. can't eat more text. :-p22:29
Joitcancer: when your fan runs a high speed now then its no problem :p22:30
* cancer will die, happily22:30
apacheloggerAlumin: Linux OTOH has all sorts of additional featuers and work arounds for BIOSes that do not do that22:30
Aluminoh, the menu is built at update-grub time22:30
cancerJoit: cpu fan use to run like jet.22:30
cancer:D22:30
apacheloggerAlumin: so it can totally happen that Linux sees a drive that grub does not see22:30
apacheloggerAlumin: aye22:30
Aluminbut a firmware incompatibility?  really?22:30
apacheloggerit happens more often than you think22:31
AluminI can't even remember the last time I had to worry about something like that22:31
L3topapachelogger: his card will not work with nvidia-current22:31
apacheloggerAlumin: totally depends on the drive22:31
Aluminmmm22:31
Joitcancer when will you 'Die? i wait here, what actually does happen22:31
L3topapachelogger: cancer must use the legasy nvidia-glx-17322:31
apacheloggerAlumin: same thing for CPUs actually22:31
AluminOK, well what the heck, might as well give it a shot22:31
apacheloggerthough then the issue is more apparent because the BIOS will go whoop whoop ^^22:31
AluminI suppose it can't hurt anyway22:31
L3tops/legasy/legacy22:31
apacheloggerL3top: http://shitohichiumaya.blogspot.de/2012/01/using-nvidia-quadro-10000m-lenovo-w520.html?m=1 suggests it will22:31
Aluminoh man you just reminded me of this old mainboard I had with some lady's voice during POST22:32
apacheloggerlol? ^^22:32
cancerL3top: i'm on nvidia official site now. download type: Quadro ODE Graphics driver?22:32
Aluminone time I booted up and it successfully booted up and ran and everything, but it perpetually had this female voice going "System failed CPU test" over and over again22:33
cancerwhich download type: Quadro ODE Graphics driver?22:33
L3topcancer lspci --nn | grep VGA22:33
AluminI had to use it for a couple of hours to triage and get stuff off...was like 10 years ago and I can literally still hear that voice in my head22:33
cancerL3top: no responce.22:34
L3topyou have to capitalize vga22:34
cancerdid that.22:34
cancer lspci --nn | grep VGA22:34
Aluminapachelogger: anyway, another interesting bit...update-grub didn't update device.map22:35
cancerL3top: with this command i get responce 'lspci -i | grep VGA'22:35
Aluminwe updated it by hand hoping it would help, but no dice22:35

apachelogger*pretty22:37
apachelogger grub-mkdevicemap shoudl still work though22:37
apacheloggermhh, typo party22:37
AluminI wish it _would_ use it, we had the right info in there lol22:37
apacheloggerthat does not mean grub will be able to access the device :P22:38

apacheloggerif someone tells me they need 290 I will give them 290 :P22:40
canceroO22:40
cancerso i'm again stuck22:40
L3topThey explicitly still produce the 173, and 96 drivers for the handful of chipsets which will crash on current... and it nvidia-current is 295.40.22:40
L3top-it22:41
cancerL3top: so i install 173.14.xx driver.22:42
L3topyou do what you want cancer... I was just providing the information.22:42
cancerL3top: OK22:43
Joitcancer trying to look for the 290.10 driver x86 architecture22:43
L3topI recommend going with what the manufacturer says will work.22:43
cancerJoit: i'm lost22:43
L3topwhich is also probably why your restricted hardware notifier barfs... just guessing.22:44
Joitat your howto page it said to use the 290.10 driver22:44
cancerL3top: there are two in 'jockey' 173-recommended | post release 17322:44
Joitthey only link to the 64bit driver22:44
Joitthere are other what work for the 32 bit arichtecture22:44

L3topI would go with the hw manufacturer and OS recommendation... but hey... Im crazy like that22:46
Joitcancer i hope so, i did hit it like that into my searchmachine22:47
Joitcancer: i cant find them anymore on nvidia, only in german22:47

Joitcancer:  well yours is 0.5 mb bigger, but still your card is not listed at the list22:54
Joitso its may a shot in the dark22:54
cancerJoit: my card is on nvidia download list. Quadro | FX Series | FX 100022:55
cancerit's there.22:55
Joitok, somewhere else they wrote, that it makes may no sense to uptdate to 173, because this one seems is stable22:55
Joitbut without warranty, i think in your case its a lot trial and error22:56
Joithttp://askubuntu.com/questions/96285/nvidia-driver-290-10-or-173-from-additional-drivers-package22:57

cancerJoit: then i must try recommended ones22:57
cancerL3top: recommended / post release both 173.22:57
Joitwell you can, if it isnt a to big problem to switch back22:57
L3toppsssst nvidia drivers are terrible at being purged... they just mash together like raw chicken parts in a ziplock...22:58
Joiti am just not sure, if this howto will work with the 17322:58
L3topagain... I really have no dog in this fight...22:58
cancer:D22:58
cancerJoit: that's not an issue to uninstall 17322:59
Joiti tried once soemthing similar to get some older cards to working with linux, that was quite a..... journey22:59
L3topI expect, frankly, if he just installs the restricted hardware drivers from desktop (which will apt-get install nvidia-glx-173) it will work.22:59
cancerL3top: Nope, they won't....22:59
cancerWithout 'Sudo' :D23:00
cancer:-p23:00
Joitwell, i dont wanna get blamed, when it doesnt work, but i would try the reconnoment too first, even, when i put no value in the word 'reconnoment', even less, when there is a dvi vga connector23:00
L3toppssst it is root, thats why it needs a password23:00

L3topbefore you install anything, use clonezilla to make a clone of your current setup in an image on another drive23:02
L3topit will take about 15 minutes.23:03
Joithttp://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-290.10-driver23:03

L3topthere she is23:05
* L3top only deals with LTS generally23:06
* cancer will have LTS 12.04 soon :D23:06
cancerJoit: those are 32bits right?23:07
L3topso cancer if you just make an image of your setup prior to making these changes, you can restore them without having to deal with the purge issues etc.23:07
Joitcancer yes23:07
L3topAnd you can try both, this way, inside of an hour.23:08
L3topwithout conflicts23:08
cancerL3top: how much space will it take 'clonezilla' and backup of kubuntu?23:09
cancerJoit: they are on their way too.23:09
Joitcancer: ok. hope they do the job then. i think to make a clone is maybe a easy way too, to quick restore the system, or, got a kinda working configuration sotred23:11
cancerL3top: just a question i once tried to make partition with 'partition manager' and that made me reinstall kubuntu, even destroyed kubuntu partition. hope if you remember that happened last days.23:11
phoenix_firebrdopengl not working23:12
Joitcancer did you do that over use free space ? or changed a done partition23:12
cancerjoit: i did that to resize a done partition from live usb23:13
L3topcancer: that is why I am suggesting you use clonezilla to make a clone of your current setup so that you can restore it when you eventually run into trouble experimenting. Then you are 12 minutes away from where you are right now, no matter WHAT you do.23:13
cancerit acutally hanged at 66%23:13
phoenix_firebrdpreviously i was using the integrated intel grapgics card , install the nvida 9400gt graphics card and install the nvidia binary drivers using jockey , now opengl is not working23:13

L3topIt is a bootable iso.23:18
JoitL3top:  how big is that backup what it does make, the whole system or only a part of it?23:19
canceryes, whole system or only a part of it? :D23:20
cancerJoit: are you using any IDM?23:20
L3topIt will copy a partition, or hard drive... the size depends on the drive data, there is some compression, but to be speedy, it is not heavily compressed23:20
Joitcancer idm like ?23:21
cancerInternet download manager?23:21
L3topit will copy over network, to a physical drive... ftp... whatever... it is a very cool piece of software.23:21
Joitcancer i mean with it, you can backup importend system files, or any files23:21
Joitnot anymore with linux, i use firefox, and the download manager works pretty well23:22
Joiti used at windows downlöoad manager :P23:22
Joitbut mostly firefox is the first choice, the other one can resume aborted downloads23:22
Joitbut mostly firefox is the first choice, the other one can resume aborted downloads23:23

Joitbut i guess its to late, that you can get an other monitor23:39
cancerJoit: i told that before, that i'm just doing experiments.... also told about monitor.23:39

L3tophuh?23:51
cancerok, usb23:52
Joit<L3top> how are you installing kubuntu?23:52
Avihaysunitasethi: don't take the "free" part lightly. it's also highly customizable, considered highly reliable and can run on many architectures.23:52
L3topplug the drive in, click the K button and type startup       you will see startup disk creator, select that, delete the thumbdrive (theres a button) and select your iso... then burn.23:52
Joit<cancer> L3top: need an answer to the question related to kubuntu installation?23:52
L3topThank you Joit... I was asking, because you can do this the same way.23:53
sunitasethiavihay: i know that23:53
L3topbut what I just detailed is probably fastest cancer23:53
L3topNow, I have to eat dinner.23:54
cancerok23:55
Avihayyou'd probably want to be more specific in your question. I for one find it very bothersome that windows 7 in school connects to windows-update every time I stick a thumb-drive in, making the mounting process take aprox x60 the time it should23:56
Joitsunitasethi: i think you cant say that anyone is better, but i prefer more at linux, that it does not force you to pay for any additional package and linux respects your privacy23:56
cancerJoit: how to format usb drive? it's not emptly.23:57
Joiteven when i can say in much cases that linux dont bload up like windows does, with its uncomplete deinstalations23:57
Joitcancer partman ?23:58
AvihayI don't really like the fact that windows sends some automated bug reports, I hate the lack of control I feel when windows decides when to shut-down my system for updates23:58
Joiti only remember the command hardly for a tty23:58
Joityes, windows calls a lot home, more then you may want and see23:59
Avihaythe rest of my beefs with windows are centred around the "freedom" section23:59
