| graft | how do i achieve this? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| genii-around | You could probably just put the rvm command in the rc.local file | 00:00 |
| graft | err... would that work? that seems a bit extreme anyway | 00:02 |
| graft | isn't this something upstart does? | 00:02 |
| graft | can i put this in the upstart script for kdm? | 00:03 |
| flesp | I've got a geforce gtx 580 card. Now and again while using kubuntu, I get little corrupt blocks scattered randomly about the screen. They disappear when I move the mouse. I've got a dual boot system and I've never seen this when I run Win7. How can I check the driver version and given the problems I had attempting to install the binary driver supplied by nvidia onto centos (which caused me to abandon that platform), | 00:03 |
| flesp | should I attempt to install the nvidia driver from the nvidia website, or stick with the driver that kubuntu has packaged? | 00:03 |
| genii-around | graft: Conceivably | 00:04 |
| graft | lemme try this, brb | 00:06 |
| genii-around | flesp: Better to stick with packaged versions, they have been tweaked. You might want to try the driver from the xorg-edgers PPA | 00:06 |
| flesp | tweaked? How so? | 00:06 |
| genii-around | flesp: So that the driver automatically updates when you upgrade the kernel for instance, using DKMS | 00:07 |
| flesp | found that installed version is 295.40. nvidia website has 295.53 | 00:10 |
| genii-around | flesp: xorg-edgers version: 302.11 | 00:11 |
| graft | okay that didn't work | 00:12 |
| graft | apparently kdm doesn't give kde its own environment... that seems daffy anyway | 00:13 |
| flesp | Seems odd - maybe xorg-edgers uses a different versioning system than nvidia. I'm on an x64 system, but the version numbers shouldn't be different. the nvidia website always has the latest drivers available - 295.53 was released May 16th this year. | 00:13 |
| graft | does kde use .bash_profile? | 00:16 |
| genii-around | I think for konsole | 00:17 |
| graft | hmm | 00:18 |
| hays | is there a way to use VNC such that it does more than just a straight desktop export? e.g., I could login from another machine in a native resolution to that machine, independent of whatever the user is actually doing? | 00:20 |
| recep | servus | 00:22 |
| graft | hmm, i guess i can put this in startkde, but then it'll just get overwritten | 00:23 |
| spagett | Is there a way to have KRunner not automatically paste any selected text into it's input box? | 00:26 |
| graft | huh... does it do that? | 00:27 |
| spagett | for me it does | 00:28 |
| graft | do you have some weirdo plugin? | 00:28 |
| spagett | no, i just started using KRunner a few days ago | 00:28 |

| graft | okay, i'm getting a handle on my issue, here: Xsession runs with /bin/sh and so does startkde | 01:14 |
| graft | so there is no way to make it source rvm, since /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh requires BASH_VERSION to be defined | 01:14 |
| graft | so how do i either make my xsession use bash, or how do i run bash stuff somewhere in the startup sequence before kde loads? | 01:15 |
| graft | ah, /bin/sh goes to dash | 01:16 |
| graft | so maybe i can update-alternatives for /bin/sh? | 01:16 |
| genii-around | graft: According to https://rvm.io/rvm/configuration/ you should only need to do something like edit ~.rvm/user | 01:18 |
| graft | argh. so basically, ubuntu policy is no bash scripts because bash is too slow to be the default... nice | 01:18 |
| genii-around | ( path might be more like ~.rvm/config/ ) | 01:19 |
| graft | no, problem is it's not running any rvm stuff because the whole rvm.sh file is wrapped in a bash requirement (and written in bash script) | 01:20 |
| graft | i suppose i could rewrite the rvm.sh file to be sh compatible, but seems like there must be an easier solution | 01:20 |

| neweruser123 | is their any chance that some exe games will soon be linux | 11:42 |
| neweruser123 | or no chance | 11:42 |
| BluesKaj | neweruser123, http://www.online-utility.org/image_converter.jsp | 11:43 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: I'm sorry, not sure what you mean. Do you mean that windows games will be ported over to linux? A rare few are being ported yes. | 11:43 |
| neweruser123 | lordievader: yes where can i find these ones being ported?! | 11:44 |
| neweruser123 | and BluesKaj thanks that will save alot of time | 11:44 |
| NoiseCounselling | neweruser123: I think steam is being ported at the moment. That doesn't mean anything that runs under windows with steam will run under linux, but I'm guessing Half Life and DotA2 will be available. | 11:45 |
| neweruser123 | woohoo cant wait | 11:45 |
| NoiseCounselling | and a whole lot of indiegames and such | 11:45 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: No idea, like I said, use google. | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | neweruser123, I suggest installing imagemagick for help with converting images as well | 11:46 |
| neweruser123 | where can i find it | 11:47 |
| BluesKaj | in the package manager /repos neweruser123 | 11:47 |
| neweruser123 | I wrote in imagemagic in the software center its not there | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | neweruser123, 'imagemagick' | 11:51 |
| neweruser123 | nope no imagemagick came up looks like il just make one in Gimp | 11:53 |
| BluesKaj | neweruser123, don't use the software center , use muon package manager | 11:54 |
| neweruser123 | oh no wonder | 11:54 |
| BluesKaj | software center doesn't show it for some reason ..I never use it anyway | 11:55 |
| lordievader | Strange that it doesn't... you would think it should. | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | there's too many package option apps , one is plenty if it works | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | confusing for new users | 11:58 |
| lordievader | Isn't the software center one of those things created for new users? | 11:59 |
| lordievader | To make things "easier"? | 11:59 |
| neweruser123 | Ok I downloaded dukenukem-linux.tgz how do i install it ? | 11:59 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, yes I think so and it doesn't help when it doesn't work | 11:59 |
| lordievader | Things can allways backfire. | 12:00 |
| neweruser123 | anyone got any idea | 12:02 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: Well first of all you need to extract it, .tgz is a compressed file. | 12:02 |
| neweruser123 | oh ok | 12:02 |
| neweruser123 | done | 12:02 |
| neweruser123 | theirs no setup file | 12:03 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: Is there a "configure" file? | 12:03 |
| neweruser123 | im not sure can u help me on teamviewer | 12:04 |
| neweruser123 | im trying to open two games | 12:04 |

| lordievader | neweruser123: ls | 12:07 |
| neweruser123 | I dont get it | 12:09 |
| neweruser123 | no idea | 12:09 |
| neweruser123 | if you would just do remote view and install it for me would be easier | 12:10 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: Open up konsole (menu -> applications -> system -> terminal) | 12:10 |
| neweruser123 | its open | 12:10 |
| neweruser123 | but I dont know how to use it | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | neweruser123, make the terminal is open within the folder , or type the path to the folder in the terminal | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | make sure | 12:11 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: Then type, cd <path-to-folder> | 12:11 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: And finally type ls, and paste the output of the ls into pastebin. | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | personall I find it easiest just to right click within the folder, choose 'actions'>open terminal here | 12:15 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Never knew of that action, good to know, makes my life easier :) | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, :) | 12:16 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: As you can see, what BluesKaj said is also something you can do. Eliminates the whole cd <dir> command. | 12:17 |
| neweruser123 | sorry for the late reply was checking some thing | 12:23 |
| neweruser123 | ok terminal has opened the folder | 12:23 |
| neweruser123 | what do i do know | 12:23 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: In the terminal you run (if you are in the correct dir) ls, and paste that output in pastebin or something similair. | 12:24 |
| neweruser123 | their is no output | 12:26 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: Are you in the correct folder? | 12:26 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: And the folder is not empty. | 12:26 |
| neweruser123 | yeah the folder i extracted | 12:27 |
| neweruser123 | i opened it with termical | 12:28 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: You went inside the extracted folder, and in there you used the method BluesKaj told you? | 12:28 |
| FlashDeluxe | hI! I got a question: i have a kubuntu 11.04 installed (in german) but the packages that i install via aptitude are provided in english language, how can i change it? | 12:32 |
| neweruser123 | yeah the method blues said | 12:33 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: If you run pwd you get the correct path? | 12:34 |
| neweruser123 | yes home/tan/Downloads/eduke32 | 12:34 |
| lordievader | neweruser123: And ls doesn't return anything? | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | FlashDeluxe, first of all don't use aptitude , it's depracated , second change your locale in system settings then change your repository server in muon to the server in your country | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | FlashDeluxe, use apt-get in place of aptitude | 12:37 |
| FlashDeluxe | BluesKaj, ok thank you :) | 12:37 |
| BluesKaj | FlashDeluxe, then do sudo-apt-get update to update the sources.list | 12:40 |

| neweruser123 | damn linux is soo hard | 14:03 |

| NoiseCounsellor | neweruser123: I found that if you have absolutely no clue about computers, the current linux desktops are by far easier to use that any windows. If you are willing to take a few steps up the learning curve, you will see that it is truly straight forward and, most importantly, well documented, whereas windows basically leaves you little other to do than start from scratch if something doesn't work the way you planned | 14:06 |

| sparr_L | I am trying to track down why my new laptop refuses to suspend to disk ("hibernate"). When I suspend to RAM I can see that the scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ are run with the parameter "suspend", and then again with "resume" when I wake it up. However, when I try to suspend to disk, those scripts are never run. What am I overlooking? | 20:03 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Do you have a swap partition? | 20:04 |
| sparr_L | yes, much larger than my RAM | 20:04 |

| sparr_L | screen blanked, screen backlight turned off, screen backlight turned on and I saw a flashing underline cursor in the top left of an otherwise blank screen | 20:10 |

| sparr_L | when I do K > Leave > Hibernate... | 20:11 |
| sparr_L | the screen blanks, then there is a too-fast-to-read popup in the bottom right corner that disappears, then it stays blanked until i move the mouse or press a key and i get the password prompt like a locked screen | 20:12 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: I had the same thing with the sleep mode through the menu, for me the workaround with pm-sleep worked, that was why I asked. | 20:13 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Does the sleep mode work like it should? | 20:13 |
| sparr_L | K > Leave > Sleep used to behave the same as Hibernate, then I applied this fix: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug | 20:14 |
| sparr_L | now K > Leave > Sleep (or Power Button > Turn Off > Suspend to RAM) works fine | 20:14 |
| sparr_L | possibly telling... I modified a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d to write to a log file. When I suspend to RAM, the log file gets two entries, one for Suspend and one later for Resume, as expected. When I try to suspend to disk, that script is apparently not run at all | 20:15 |
| sparr_L | so, why that's not happening could be a good thing to figure out | 20:16 |
| sparr_L | I suspect `sudo pm-sleep` will work, but am loathe to try it until I'm ready to deal with another lockup just in case | 20:16 |
| sparr_L | err, i don't have pm-sleep | 20:17 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Have you checked the /var/log/pm-suspend.log for any hints? | 20:17 |
| sparr_L | but pm-suspend works fine | 20:17 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Oh sorry, yeas I mean pm-suspend. | 20:18 |
| lordievader | yes* | 20:18 |
| sparr_L | my /var/log/pm-suspend.log has entries for all of my successful suspend/sleep/suspendtoram actions | 20:18 |
| sparr_L | it has no entries related to my failed hibernate/suspendtodisk attempts | 20:18 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: If you try to hibernate nothing is being added to the log file? | 20:19 |
| sparr_L | correct | 20:19 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: A nice way to find out is to run "tail -f /var/log/pm-suspend.log" and then try to hibernate. | 20:19 |
| lordievader | Hmm.... | 20:19 |
| sparr_L | nor are the scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ being run when i attempt to hibernate | 20:20 |
| sparr_L | other than the popup in the lower right, which goes away too quickly to read, hibernate appears to behave identically to a simple screen lock | 20:21 |
| sparr_L | let me see if i can identify that popup | 20:23 |
| sparr_L | clearing all my notifications so i can see if a new one appears | 20:23 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Have a look at #5, not sure if it is an answer to the original question... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1914163 | 20:23 |
| sparr_L | ahh, good find | 20:24 |
| sparr_L | will try that, requires a reboot | 20:24 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: The "Power Management" service is enabled right? (See Startup and Shutdown) | 20:24 |
| sparr_L | enabled and running | 20:25 |
| sparr_L | reboot time, brb | 20:26 |
| sparr_L | lordievader: that policy change appears to have worked | 20:34 |
| sparr_L | just hibernated and came back | 20:34 |
| sparr_L | minor annoyance at the way the screen behaves during the process, but that's not important | 20:35 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: Ok, well glad that it works. | 20:39 |
| sparr_L | thanks a lot | 20:39 |
| lordievader | sparr_L: No problem. | 20:40 |
| jamil_1_ | hi all | 20:41 |
| jamil_1_ | what do htop and top show different memory usage ? | 20:41 |
| jamil_1_ | s/what/why | 20:42 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: What are the values, and what should it display? | 20:44 |
| jamil_1_ | htop: 1772/3922 top: 2709/4016 | 20:46 |
| jamil_1_ | almost a difference of 1 gig | 20:46 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: Take a look at this: http://linuxtoolkit.blogspot.com/2010/02/understanding-memory-usage-from-top-and.html | 20:47 |
| Galvatron | jamil_1_: For the actual memory usage you may use some graphical tool, like GNOME/KDE system monitor, which shows only the physically used RAM, and ommits cache. | 20:49 |
| jamil_1_ | ksysguard show 1.8 gig same as htop | 20:50 |
| jamil_1_ | so should I take htop as correct ? | 20:50 |
| jamil_1_ | I mean more usefull | 20:50 |
| Galvatron | jamil_1_: What does take so much RAM? | 20:51 |
| jamil_1_ | eclipse/scala | 20:51 |
| jamil_1_ | + chrome tabs | 20:51 |
| jamil_1_ | in practice top's out is more usefull | 20:53 |
| jamil_1_ | because when top show 3.5 gig memory usage system gets really slow | 20:54 |
| jamil_1_ | even when htop is showing ~ 1 gig free ram | 20:54 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: Is in that situation a lot of swapping going on? | 20:54 |
| jamil_1_ | hmm could be the case | 20:55 |
| jamil_1_ | I have 2 gig of swap | 20:55 |
| jamil_1_ | not sure if its enough | 20:55 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: How much ram do you have? | 20:55 |
| jamil_1_ | 4 | 20:55 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: I guess that is allright, though you cannot hibernate in this way. | 20:56 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: In htop do you see a lot of swap usage? | 20:58 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: Perhaps it is a good idea to check that info when your pc is running slow. | 20:58 |
| Galvatron | jamil_1_: If you''re using ~3-4GB, it would be most reasonable to double RAM. | 20:58 |
| lordievader | Galvatron: Why? 2~4GB is fine for most tasks. Unless you run many things at once or do ram heavy things I wouldn't recommend an upgrade... | 21:00 |
| jamil_1_ | nope, currently its only ~ 293 mb usage of swap | 21:00 |
| lordievader | jamil_1_: Well if it happens a lot then a ram upgrade might indeed be a good idea. On my 2GB box I had it a lot until I upgraded it to 6GB. | 21:01 |
| jamil_1_ | lordievader: yeah, when pc gets slow I have seen higher usage of swap | 21:01 |
| Galvatron | That's quite obvious, since even SSD's are painfully slow compared to RAM | 21:02 |
| Galvatron | Unless you have some high-end pro solution, like Revo | 21:03 |
| Galvatron | In Kubuntu 12.04 (KDE 4.8.3) the "Logging out..." window's appearance has not returned to normal after switching from Oxygen to QT-Curve | 21:38 |
| Galvatron | In fact it's completely stuck and doesn't react to theme changes at all. | 21:41 |

| ETHOXYL | Is there any good software available for capturing screenshots during DVDs? | 22:02 |
| NoiseCounsellor | ETHOXYL: VLC media player can screenshot and ksnapshot can capture either your whole screen or a single window | 22:04 |
| ETHOXYL | tyvm, I'll try those out | 22:05 |

| BarkingFish | Morning all. Does anyone know how to completely kill, disable and utterly totally and permanently remove cron & anacron without having the system keep replacing one with the other please? | 23:49 |
| BarkingFish | i took cron off last night - my system replaced it with anacron. I took anacron off tonight - my system replaced it with cron, and also deleted kubuntu-desktop at the same time | 23:49 |
