=== johnnydrama is now known as johnnydrama__ === younes is now known as yosa [02:14] hey [02:14] hello [02:15] * genii-around sips [02:18] hi everyone , I have some strange problem in amarok ....., a post-it is appeared on the context window of amarok ..., I don't even know how I did and how to remove ...., it's normal !?! [02:18] http://wstaw.org/m/2012/06/08/plasma-desktopSa2343.png [02:19] doesnt look like part of amarok, some kinda other widget or plasma thing [02:20] yeah is a widget that normally goes on the desktop ...., probablly a kind of bug in amarok I guess ..., but I was just working and I don't know how I did it .... [02:21] http://wstaw.org/m/2012/06/08/plasma-desktopnZ2343.png [02:22] and seems quite impossible to remove .. :O [02:24] is it knotes, which app is the note thing [02:26] ahh ok , I got it ...., with right click , but just when I'm on similar artists tab http://wstaw.org/m/2012/06/08/plasma-desktopoo2343.png [02:27] it should be knode I guess ...., the default one on the kde desktop.... [02:28] ops sorry knotes ... [02:30] there is a shotcut key to make a new note, meta N or something maybe (not in kubuntu right now), maybe amarok is sending key stroke, or something [02:30] anyway , closing amaron and reopening it , the notes desappears ..... [02:31] well , normally on the desk , I use the middle mouse button .... , but it doesn't works on amarok normally ..... [02:56] I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, and now plasma network manager thinks I lack a wireless card. "ifconfig" & "ip -a" see it though. Any idea how to convince plasma of the error of its ways? [03:00] did you check the restricted drives to see if there is a driver for your wireless card, first thing to try, [03:09] hello, does anyone know how to restart the kde panel? Mine has disappeared/crashed... [03:10] My card had never required restricted drivers before... [03:11] Nope, my hardware is still 100% free drivers [03:11] (I'd be very disappointed if Intel suddenly had proprietary drivers) [03:12] dbenson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1264937 [03:17] genii-around: thanks! I didn't know it was called plasma so my search wasn't productive... === Raging_Hog is now known as Guest77363 [03:24] just giving the lowest common dneomotator, before i look at zip files === JWolf is now known as JCarcharoth [03:44] Hmm it seems wpa_supplicant is involved. I can't configure the interface from command line either, and syslog says wpa_supplixanr failed to initiate AP scan. I can use iwlist fine though, so driver and card should be ok [05:05] question: how does one add fluxbox to kubuntu manually? [05:07] with a little bit of flux a little bit of box all mix with some weed and hard liquor [05:09] yes, i suspected [05:10] sudo apt-get install fluxbox probably get you going, no idea how to go back [05:11] can i get someone to share a virgin sources.list for kubuntu-12.04 please, pastebin is fine === yue_ is now known as yue [06:00] morning [06:01] each moring, at this time 0730-0800.. updaatedb.mlocate is running.. how can i plan that into the night [06:01] eg at 0400 [06:03] ok.. found the entry in /etc/crontab: 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) [06:03] but that means, it starts at 06:25... hm.. why is it now running?.. daylight saving time?

So far, I love it! did have one question, though.... [07:16] It seems when I place my cursor over certain apps (such as firefox... i think its all GTK apps), the mouse cursor changes. does anyone know how to keep it consistent? [07:16] i had changed my cursor theme to whiteglass, but when i move the cursor over firefox, it reverts to the default oxygen white. [07:29] adad [07:40] hey, i have installed compiz on my kubuntu and it has messed with my whole interface, it kind of look like unity now, but does not work good, can anyone help me resetting my interface on kubuntu with default kde. [07:43] can anyone help me please.. [07:58] anyone know how to reset kde plasma interface [08:14] is there anything like unity --reset for kde ..??

[08:44] Good morning === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun === rob is now known as Guest13924 === vincent is now known as Guest66315 [10:10] Hi, I'm having an issue. plymouth is tainted on a clean Kubuntu 12.04 LTS installation (LVM, /home on separate logical volume), on boot I see some errors then instead of the boot logo, black screen. When I shut it down, I see lots of kernel errors instead of Plymouth splash screen then it powers off. Some errors: http://paste.debian.net/173360 [10:10] I'm using the open source radeon ATI drivers, jockey-gtk seems to refuse to start so I'm stuck with that right now. [10:11] s/plymouth/plymouthd/ [10:22] nyuszika7h: Seems indeed that your ggfx driver is failing, instead of jockey-gtk try jockey-kde, perhaps with that you can install the non-free driver. [10:23] lordievader: Ok, I'll try it [10:23] (Note: Framebuffer and X11 look fine after boot, the issue is only on boot/shutdown) [10:26] nyuszika7h: It seems that at the level of plymouth the driver fails, perhaps a non supported resolution is asked for or something. [10:26] Yeah, VESA doesn't support 1366x768 here [10:27] Though I didn't have this problem with the open source driver on Ubuntu, only since I use Kubuntu [10:27] nyuszika7h: Oh really, perhaps the kubuntu theme is corrupted? Let's see if I can find the name for that plymouth customizing utility. [10:29] nyuszika7h: Ah this is the one: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/install-plymouth-manager-and-change.html [10:30] I'll try it when I'm at home, thanks. === root is now known as Guest48174 [10:30] nyuszika7h: No problem, hope you fix your problem. [10:59] I'm having trouble setting my keyboard's calculator button to launch a program. In custom shortcuts, it appears as "Launch (1)", but it doesn't work. [11:07] Free_Bullets: Could you try running "xev [11:07] Free_Bullets: "xev|grep keycode" * [11:08] Free_Bullets: Then when you press the key it should give you somekind of identifier, something like XF86Calculator or something [11:08] lordievader: keycode 148 [11:08] I found this thread, but there's nothing in those files for me: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=89602 [11:08] Free_Bullets: What does it say between () [11:09] lordievader: (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator) [11:10] Free_Bullets: Ok so it is being recognized, let me check if I can get it to work... [11:10] lordievader: oops, i found the files mentioned in that thread [11:11] Free_Bullets: Oh okay. [11:11] Hope that solution works. [11:20] lordievader: solved. Really should have googled before asking. [11:20] Free_Bullets: It seems I have the same error/bug, you did find the launch (1) in those files? [11:21] lordievader: yep, and I replaced it with Calculator (XF86Calculator didn't work) [11:21] Free_Bullets: Ok good to know :) [11:27] Free_Bullets: Ok, it works here too :) [11:28] I love (yes, I mean hate) it how Muon just abandons all the package installations I marked earlier when I press full upgrade... [11:29] nyuszika7h: I don't like Muon either, I just use apt-get or if I need a gui I use synaptic. [11:29] Hmm yes, Synaptic, I'll install that. [11:30] I had it when I used Unity :P [11:32] hi [11:32] Hey sky100 how are you? [11:32] i tried to burn movies using k3b .. but its been failing miserabley [11:33] hey lordievader [11:33] im fine , ty how bat u [11:33] I'm doing fine [11:33] ok [11:33] do u use k3b as burning tool lordievader ? [11:34] im really fighting with .. [11:34] sky100: I rarely burn things, but I use it to rip cd's. [11:34] i tried burning some movies on a DVD-R , but it spoilt some good mo of discs [11:35] no* [11:35] really im ata loss.. [11:35] at a [11:35] lordievader: I'm unable to install the proprietary drivers, it says to check /var/log/jockey.log [11:35] sky100: What do you mean? Did you burn it as a avi file or something? [11:35] nyuszika7h: What does the log file say? [11:35] Let me pastebin it [11:36] yep .avi file [11:36] all movies were .avi [11:36] sky100: Is there also a .avi file on the disc? [11:36] DVD-R is compltely new [11:36] completely* [11:36] no files were written on it [11:37] sky100: Yes but on a burned one. [11:37] just selected 4 movies , dragged them on the lower pane of k3b.. & set speed at 4x & clicked BURN [11:37] How can I remove that Mozilla Firefox Browser Installer? I installed Firefox Aurora's daily version from a PPA. [11:38] it came out as a fatal error [11:38] spoiling the DVD-R [11:39] sky100: At what speed are you burning? === ocs is now known as faLUCE [11:39] nyuszika7h: I believe the package was called firefox-installer, but I might be wrong. [11:39] lordievader, 4x [11:39] It was kubuntu-firefox-installer, thanks! [11:40] sky100: Is that the lowest speed? [11:40] cant really figure out if in the burning option i see under file system its selected as Linux /Unix + Windows [11:40] yes lowest speed [11:40] do I need to change the file system ? [11:40] lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1030240/ /var/log/jockey.log [11:40] sky100: I'm not sure, like I said, I rarely burn things. [11:41] ok [11:42] nyuszika7h: You could try to install it manually: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide [11:45] Synaptic says fglrx-updates is installed, but Jockey said it failed [11:45] fglrx-amdcccle-updates etc. is also installed [11:47] nyuszika7h: It has failed. Before installing the driver again, manually or through jockey I would remove all the fglrx packages. [11:52] lordievader: I installed fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle from Synaptic, but kexec doesn't work... [11:52] sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic --append='BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7' --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic [11:53] Oh, I need to -e it [11:55] kexec worked now [11:55] fglrx installed, Plymouth is still missin [11:55] g [11:55] (logo) [11:55] This annoys me a bit... [11:55] Seems there is no framebuffer driver loaded at all [11:55] lordievader: ^^ [11:55] /proc/fb is empty [12:08] lordievader: sudo plymouth show-splash # <-- nothing [12:13] Hi all [12:14] if any one help me out with this k3b tool's issue [12:14] after files being burnt successfully .. its just not being detected by the system [12:21] how are you burning the movies..they have to be converted to dvd format to play in a dvde player [12:22] for play on a pc just use dragon player or vlc , no need to burn them to a dvd and try to play on the cdrom [12:23] sky100,^ [12:23] hi BluesKaj .. sorry i was afk [12:24] read above [12:25] yep read.. but , one of my friends wanted me to burn some movies for him & i wanted to use k3b for that [12:26] sky100, so is it his pc that doesn't recognize the dvd?

[15:28] lordievader, every window [15:30] -_-" [15:30] Ormie: That is very strange, have you installed some kind of theme? [15:32] lordievader, this is the original theme.

[15:34] hold on [15:34] Ormie: It shouldn't be btw. [15:35] lordievader, there is only window behavior. [15:35] lordievader, Some how. I am on a netbook. and I switched the mode to desktop because netbook edition looks messy. [15:35] I wonder if it's gtk apps or all apps without his minimize button [15:36] Ormie: Oh sorry its under Workspace Appearance [15:37] lordievader, strangely it's checked. [15:38] Phiscribe: problem solved [15:38] Ormie: Uncheck that, and I am not sure how it should respond, maybe you need to logout and back in. [15:38] ok [15:39] Ormie: Does your Workspace Appearance window have a minimize button? [15:39] lordievader, It's back! The minimize button is back right away! thanks again :D.

I recently had my hard drives disconnected, that is, power cut of, while running. The partitions fsck'ed fine, I had to re-install grub and boot to the login screen, but I cannot log in to plasma any more. It showed two errors, one I fixed by "apt-get install --reinstall dbus", the other reads "call to lnusertemp failed (tmp directories full?) Check your installation." How might I be able to fix this?

[16:26] yep [16:27] everything was fine [16:27] genii-around, [16:27] tried with several DVD-Rs [16:28] discs are read in other OS [16:28] like in XP [16:29] dunno waht went wrong with notifier [16:31] sky100: What kind of project did you choose?

( Data, Continue Multisession,Audio, Mixed-Mode,Video CD, Video DVD, eMovix, etc ) [16:39] Òk, simpler question: What is "lnusertemp"? [16:40] i was burning movies , all of .avi format , slected data , genii-around [16:40] selected* [16:43] sky100: If you are in K3B, and put that DVD-R in, what does Device..Media Info from the K3B menu say?

[16:52] right [16:52] they are just pc data [16:52] not any converted videos [16:53] downloaded movies [16:54] youstill have to burn them as a "New Video DVD Project" [16:54] genii-around: That's what I thought, too. But I don't quite get why it should prevent X and plasma from starting. I added a new entry for tmpfs in /etc/fstab now for lack of clever ideas. Will reboot and see how it goes.

[16:59] I've recently installed kubuntu... [17:00] and notifier is able to detect and give mounting options on discs your burnt in other OS's and kubuntu 11.10 [17:00] yep [17:00] I have been using kde since 4.0 [17:00] even in 12.04 other discs are being popped by notifier [17:01] ya, so its not the notifier or device settings [17:01] which are not just burnt using k3b [17:01] I thought that the version 4.8 was good enough to be used how first computer [17:01] it works [17:01] but actually I got a lot of problem [17:02] for istance, kwin continues chashing very often [17:03] My computer stucks and I can figure out why [17:04] dunno man what went wrong in notifier or somewher else [17:04] everything went off peacefully .. [17:04] think it may be the way the discs are closing.. [17:04] really odd [17:04] landing me in big zero [17:04] yep mozz [17:05] try different brand media? [17:05] tru 6x or 8x instead too [17:05] try* [17:05] 1st tried with SONY (4 discs) & then writex [17:05] instead of 4x [17:06] ok [17:06] u mean higher speed ?

[17:08] nah [17:08] ok [17:09] had .. but updated in afternoon b4 disc was burnt [17:09] how many updates [17:09] Had you rebooted before using k3b? [17:09] yes [17:09] was just getting to that [17:10] ummm , NO [17:10] have you rebooted after updates sky [17:10] Hm [17:10] oh , yea [17:10] ok [17:10] i rebotted several times [17:10] rebooted [17:11] as i installed libdvdcss2 [17:11] & ffmpeg [17:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [17:11] ^^^^ [17:11] for libdvdcss2 [17:19] heh sky [17:20] youre not playing encrypted dvds...your not even trying to play video dvds [17:20] just pc data video files sitting on the disc in a directory like it would be on any other media..pc data [17:21] libdvdcss fix doesnty even pertain to your issue [17:21] doesnt* [17:24] ffmpeg is for conversion [17:24] theres no conversion taking place [17:24] ok [17:24] oh ic [17:24] ya [17:24] just a straight burn avi, mkv to disc [17:25] as backups [17:25] ;) [17:27] bbiab [17:27] ok [17:33] Evening guys. Can somoene please explain pinning something in Kubuntu, so that it doesn't download when I update my system please? [17:33] *someone [17:34] !pinning | BarkingFish [17:34] BarkingFish: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [17:34] I asked in #ubuntu last night - I don't want pulseaudio on my system, but everytime I run major updates, it comes back. All I want to do is block it from downloading, permanently, so it never - ever - comes back. [17:35] bazhang: I should mention I'm not running a GUI at the moment, I'm text only, and that page doesn't format properly in lynx. [17:35] try links2 -g [17:36] ok, i'll give it a shot. [17:37] genii-around: that works, but it doesn't look like it does what I want it to, unfortunately [17:38] I want to keep pulseaudio off my system, pinning looks like it just keeps an old version on the machine so it doesn't update - my intention is to stop it downloading altogether [17:39] someone suggested to me that maybe something I use recommends pulseaudio, in which case, whatever it is, I'm willing to remove that too. [17:41] BarkingFish: Besides making a particular version stick and not upgrade, pinning can be used to prevent programs from being installed at all [17:41] 0.0 Right. Back to the page, I gotta see how to do that :) [17:42] is that using the dpkg --set-selections? [17:45] huhu [17:45] kuku yoshi_ :) [17:47] Good evening [17:47] BarkingFish: No. Just use -10 for the pin priority number [17:49] excellent :) [17:49] Thank you [17:50] BarkingFish: You're welcome === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:56] Sentynel: please run kdebugdialog, tick everything, then run rekonq from a terminal and try apt://amarok [17:56] paste me what the debug output has to say about it [17:57] apachelogger: http://pastebin.com/18kbiwgm [17:57] ohooooo [17:57] !info rekonq precise [17:57] rekonq (source: rekonq): KDE web browser based on Webkit.

Now, will that break anything which needs pulseaudio, and is it likely to moan if that happens? [18:01] BarkingFish: Might want to make the P in Pulseaudio lowercase [18:02] yeah, I did, that was just me typoing in here [18:02] BarkingFish: You can also use a wildcard at the end like pulseaudio* [18:04] ah, well I've pinned both individually, separate entries in the preferences, so I'll see how this goes. I have some packages due to update tonight, so I'll see whether PA comes back. I have nothing against it, it just busts my sound card so I can't use it properly. [18:04] if it works for others, it's not for me to dissuade people from using it, i just personally don't get along with it [18:04] Understandable [18:06] i used to have such a better time back when kde used arts & artsd :) It never went wrong, ever. If I could resurrect that tomorrow, i'd do it :) === michael is now known as Guest22813 [18:17] genii-around, i was about to suggest pavucontrol added to pulseaudio works well with pci soundcards , PA by itself is ok , but for 5.1 etc playback , analog or digtal pavucontrol gives more options [18:18] BluesKaj: Luckily I haven't had to do anything tricky with my soundcard in ages [18:18] The last thing was some messup in 8.04 with IntelHDA cards [18:20] i used to run the onboard card but the digital stream was low rate and full dropouts , so I added this m-audio and it has some fairly high rate options [18:21] i need your help, trying to get kde running .... this morning i did-release-upgrade from kubuntu-oneiric to precise and it breake up with dependenci errors , i was thinking i fixed those i get it through the upgrade, but now after userlogin i see a blue screen [18:21] less distortion as a result [18:27] see kdm.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1030835/ [18:27] ther is an error with dbus, but dbus is running [18:31] dpkg showed "rc plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus " but i was not able to reinstall it [18:36] mozzy, I was trying to make sure sky100 had all the proper apps and codecs in case the avi files were DRM'd ..i've seen avi's deliberately DRM'd and regionally encoded to prevent copying [18:38] oh ok, ya that makes sense [18:39] mozzy, he definitely has an odd issue tho ...hope he didn't turn his notifier off :) [18:39] strange thing, his notifier works [18:40] for nother stuff ? [18:40] other [18:40] discs he burnt in older kubuntu version 11.10 show up to mount [18:40] and other OS's [18:40] as they should [18:41] even his k3b burns, burn properly enough to be read in other OSS's and devices [18:41] * BluesKaj wonders whether his k3b has an issue [18:42] blank disc pop up in his notifier but his k3b burns...linux acts like it doesnt exist [18:42] only in kubuntu 12.04 [18:42] i went through all his k3b settings, kde system settings, device notification settings via teamviewer and they were all good [18:42] matched my own [18:43] i did a test burn this morning on my machine with kubuntu 12.04 and on his via teamviewer [18:43] well, then it's a mystery to me [18:43] everything matching [18:43] ya [18:43] im out of ideas here [18:49] mozzy, maybe he could try setting his system settings removable devices to "enable automatic mounting of removable media" [18:49] i almnost checked that [18:49] it isnt checked on mine [18:50] it shows a cd mounted here [18:50] so i fgiured it would have no effect if it doesnt see the media atr all [18:50] on his [18:50] kubuntu thinks nothing has been inserted [18:51] only happens with k3b burns under kubuntu 12.04 [18:51] might be worth a trry tho [18:51] all his other discs he burnt show up in the notifier [18:51] like they do on mine [18:52] extremly odd [18:52] yup [18:52] doubting an automount would fix the issue [18:52] brb [19:20] In case anyone wondered, errors related to "lnusertmp" can be remedied by checking permissions on /tmp and /var/tmp, though I don't quite understand how a crashed harddrive would alter those two and leave other directories alone [19:20] hola [19:20] alguien que hable español [19:20] tengo un problema y no se que hacer con mi sistema operativo [19:20] !es | eddy [19:20] eddy: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[21:17] think its best not to let auto updates happen [21:18] so you have time to prepare if they are many [21:18] mozzy, ok then - that is what I chose? thanks [21:18] get updates tho, but on your own time [21:19] right [21:19] once a week or once a month tops [21:20] Hello folks, i am planing an upgrade from 10.11 to 04.12, reading currently the faq and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu. This seems a pretty straightforward process. I would like to know however if having the repository for nvidia drivers and bumblebee can cause a problem during the upgrade ? and are there some extra things not in the webpage that i should take... [21:20] ...care of ? [21:24] douglarret, as far as security, linux is pretty good with that [21:24] no worries [21:26] most updates are just fixes [21:26] and improvements [21:38] evening guys, anyone know what this is and what the package is please? I can't seem to find it, but my system starts it during boot: [21:38] * Starting Uncomplicated firewall [OK] [21:40] I've passed it through locate and can't find it, but I'd like to at least know which package it is if nothing else [21:44] wondered what that was myself BarkingFish [21:45] "Uncomplicated" makes me think a very basic built in firewall [21:45] Yeah - I don't run any firewalls on here, I've certainly not installed any and I'll be danged if I'm keeping it on.

[21:55] on this machine, the fan is just running constantly [21:55] Not offhand. But then again I always have akonadi and desktop search file indexing turned off [21:55] i have desktop search file indexing shut off as well, but possibly not akonadi [21:56] There used to be some issue with nvidia gpu fans in laptops always running fullout [21:56] genii-around: do you have to abstain from the digital clock in order to do that? [21:57] JMichaelX: No idea. I have no widgets on my desktop, i just use the standard clock on my bar [21:57] genii-around: in 11.10, this problem would show up in one KDE SC release, then disappear in the next... back and forth [21:57] genii-around: ok, i thought that clock depended on akonadi [22:00] genii-around: i think it rather depends on nepomuk, instead [22:07] JMichaelX: Do you have some nvidia card for video? [22:07] genii-around: yes. an onboard nvidia ion2 [22:08] JMichaelX: Perhaps http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=175533 [22:09] ( if it's the gpu fan and not cpu fan constantly on ) [22:12] genii-around: this machine has only one fan... probably doing the job of both [22:14] JMichaelX: I'm using the xorg-edgers drivers, not having the fan issue. But then it might be my particular card is not affected ( 9300M GS ) [22:15] genii-around: i'm also using xorg-edgers... i believe [22:16] i take that back. i am using xorg-edgers at work, but not here [22:16] maybe i'll give that a shot [22:17] this is a GT218 [22:18] genii-around: thx for your input. i'll try to do some experimenting.

Researching [22:30] Thank you [22:30] genni-around, It's an additional driver [22:30] grub failed to install during my install - what should I do? [22:32] genii-around, http://imagebin.org/215712 Screenshot [22:36] !netsplit [22:36] I just finished installing 12.04 and installed lilo instead of grub (grub failed) and now my machine does not boot? I have another install on same machine on other media - how can I install grub for both installs of 12.04? [22:36] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [22:39] gladii:I would suggest to download the firmware, put it in directory of /lib/firmware/ [22:40] Thank you genni, How could I download and put the firmware.... Sorry I am new Ubuntu. [22:41] genni-around: Thank you for trying to help. [22:42] gladii: http://tanguy.wdscript.fr/index.php?q=system/files/FirmwareEC168.zip has the firmware. After downloading, unzip the file. Put the file which ends in .fw or .bin into /lib/firmware/ [22:44] genii-around : I have these three files in that folder dvb-usb-ec168.fw EC168BDA.bin EC168BDA.ihex [22:44] Should I put everything or on /lib/firmware [22:45] gladii: I think only the first two files. To copy them into /lib/firmware/ you need admin rights [22:45] gladii: What directory are the files in right now? [22:47] genii-around : I guess I coppied [22:47] http://pastebin.com/VVjRgyFa [22:47] what could I do now? [22:48] I just finished installing 12.04 and installed lilo instead of grub (grub failed) and now my machine does not boot? I have another install on same machine on other media - how can I install grub for both installs of 12.04? [22:48] gladii: I should give a lecture about using sudo su instead of sudo -i :-) .. But not right now. [22:49] gladii: gladiiUnplg it, wait for dmesg to settle down, replug it [22:49] genii-around : I would love to here that lecture from you. [22:49] gladii: Then pastebin result of: dmesg| tail [22:50] douglarret: when you say "grub failed" first of all, what exactly did grub do? [22:50] It might help us to try and figure out how you can make it work if you now intend to install it :) [22:50] grub is good for catching fish, hmmmm [22:52] genni-around : http://pastebin.com/u2kdmPD9 [22:55] BarkingFish, grub failed to install on sda during kubuntu 12.04 install so I selected lilo but booting that drive makes the machine hang with flashing lights on keyboard. [22:56] that sounds like a kernel panic [22:57] I get my caps & scroll lock lights flash on/off when my system panics, usually when it fails to sync init [22:57] BarkingFish, thot so? so I booted other install of 12.04 to fix the sdb install of 12.04 [22:58] genni-around : are you around? [22:58] :-/ [22:58] genii-around: I don't suppose you'd be able to help douglarret replace lilo with an alternative bootloader when he can't even hit busybox or SUM to do any work on it, would you? :) [22:59] gladii: I missed your message, you were putting genni instead of geni :) Reading paste now [22:59] *genii rather [22:59] just a thought, douglarret - is the disk you're installing from a live kubuntu disk, or just a straight install? [22:59] BarkingFish: Give me a few minutes here [22:59] ok genii-around - sorry, I'll wait :) Didn't notice you were tied up [22:59] genii-around: Sorry, http://pastebin.com/u2kdmPD9 [23:00] genii-around : Thank you [23:01] BarkingFish, is live 12.04 lts but did text install as live cd would not start kde - screen locked up with weird artifacts on it. [23:01] gladii: Looks like the firmware download failed. What is the exact model of your adapter? http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/E3C_EC168 lists more than one which fit vendor:device of 18b4:1689 [23:02] douglarret: that sounds very odd. Any chance of you burning the iso to CD and trying again, I smell a corrupt disk :) [23:02] also, do you know what video adapter you have in the machine? Is it something like an nvidia or that kind of thing? [23:03] douglarret: When grub failed, did it give some kind of informative message? [23:03] BarkingFish, nvidia and it is the same disk I used to insall 12.04 on notebook and usb install - still think it may be the disk? [23:04] douglarret: as a rescue on that - if it does lock up, you can go to a terminal and type sudo service kdm restart and see if that does the trick [23:04] genii-around, nothing informative - no [23:05] and no, it might be the video adapter - I have heard of people having issues with nvidia things -- unfortunately, I don't have any myself, so I can't help [23:05] douglarret: Which device did you tell it to install to? eg: /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or something more like /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb2 or so on [23:05] BarkingFish, "sudo service kdm restart" booting the cd in live mode or rescue? [23:06] when you're in live mode - if you can't start kde, press ctrl, alt and f1 together to get to a terminal, and type that command. It will kill kde and restart it [23:06] genii-around, did not give me an option to choose - but it was trying to install to sda when the system was installed to sdb [23:07] genii-around : DUTV009 SinoVideo 3420A-2, I think it is this one, since the USB ID is 18b4:1689 e3C Technologies DUTV009 [23:07] now I'm gonna stop interrupting, and let genii-around see if they can help you :) [23:07] BarkingFish, thanks for your help :) [23:07] douglarret: Yes, sda would have been correct.. it wants the first disk in the boot sequence usually [23:08] gladii: OK. Give me some time for research and other helping [23:08] np douglarret - I am happy to help where I can, but I will always hand over to more experienced users when I need to, only been on kubuntu 1 year :) [23:08] genni-around : Thank you :-) [23:09] genii-around: Thank you [23:09] genii-around, yes I was expecting that? but was weird when it faild to install there. [23:09] douglarret: Is there some raid setup on that system? [23:10] genii-around, no - nothing like that [23:14] system hangs when booting live 12.04 ctrl+alt+f1 is not responsive [23:15] gladii: When it is plugged in, does: lsmod show a driver in use named mxl5005s or mxl5007t ? [23:16] douglarret: I have not used LiLo for years :( [23:17] genii-around, same - since redhat days? and I can see why with my kernel panic issue [23:17] genii-around, trying to rescue system not [23:17] now [23:18] douglarret: The livecd boots OK? [23:18] genii-around : I couldn't find that one, however, these are my results http://pastebin.com/cDGXnW3F [23:19] genii-around, no hangs with graphic artifacts and ctrl+alt+f1 is not responsive [23:20] douglarret: Did you try with nomodeset ? [23:20] !nomodeset [23:20] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:21] genii-around, thanks looking at it now [23:23] genii-around, I managed to install from text mode I am just trying to insall grub now? I have a 12.04 install on usb on same system - is there any way in copying that working system to the sdb and installing grub after that... [23:24] grasping at straws here? [23:25] gladii: I can't seem to find some alternate firmware for this device. Can you pastebin result of: sudo lshw please. It will have somewhere in it more details of the device [23:27] douglarret: The idea would be to somehow obtain a command-line on another linux ( either on cd or on another disk/partition of the same machine) then to chroot into the affected install partition and have it do update-grub [23:28] Away from the computer a few minutes but returning [23:29] genii-around, I can boot 12.04 on same machine from usb stick? is there a howto for this fix? [23:29] genii-around: http://pastebin.com/38AAqcP1 [23:29] genii-around: Thank you for all your help. [23:29] genii-around : I am sorry, I consume more of your time. [23:32] * douglarret googling chroot [23:36] genii-around, would this work from the working install of kubuntu and include both options in the grub menu? "/usr/sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda"? [23:47] genii-around: well, i installed the xorg-edgers ppa on this machine, but so far there does not seem to be any improvement at all. [23:48] i did boot into an icewm session, just to see whether or not the fan ran as much as it is running in KDE, and indeed it did. to me that also points the figured more squarely at nvidia.
