| uberdub | I dunno, it works in 10.04 | 00:11 |
| uberdub | this is a laptop, I need suspend | 00:12 |
| uberdub | it worked for a little while in 11.04 | 00:12 |
| uberdub | so no one knows? | 00:13 |
| uberdub | this is a laptop, suspend is necessary | 00:13 |
| uberdub | I really dont want to put windows on here, because the community was inept | 00:13 |
| uberdub | I guess I could down grade to 10.04 again | 00:14 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: what breaks? | 00:21 |
| wissam | Hi , i have linux mint 12 kde ,i've tried to install nvidia driver via "additional driver" but i get an error message so i installed nvidia driver using apt-get but when i reboot i get a black screen | 00:23 |
| wissam | when i delete Xorg.conf file and reboot i get a bad resolution | 00:24 |
| wissam | any help please ? | 00:24 |
| wissam | i have nvidia Geforce 9400 | 00:26 |
| uberdub | skreech_ suspend to ram freezes system | 00:31 |
| skreech_ | It wont' suspend or it won't resume from suspend? | 00:31 |
| uberdub | both I guess | 00:31 |
| uberdub | maybe thats just the screen saver though | 00:32 |
| skreech_ | Hmm? | 00:32 |
| uberdub | if i click sleep, it freezes everything | 00:32 |
| uberdub | same if i close the lid | 00:32 |
| skreech_ | wissam: which driver? | 00:32 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: as soon as you click sleep? | 00:32 |
| uberdub | I dont understand why it works in 10.04, and in 11.04 til it was updated | 00:33 |
| uberdub | yes | 00:33 |
| wissam | skreech_: i don't know :/ nvidia-current is the name of th package | 00:34 |
| skreech_ | wissam: Ah of course | 00:34 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: Not sure either. I would suggest asking in #ubuntu-server if I didn't think they would throw you out | 00:34 |
| uberdub | flashplayer crashes constantly too | 00:35 |
| uberdub | if i try to fast forward | 00:35 |
| skreech_ | wissam: nvidia-xconfig runs for you? | 00:35 |
| uberdub | fuck man, I hate windows | 00:35 |
| uberdub | wtf | 00:36 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: For that it may be a video driver but you'd have to write to Adobe to ask them | 00:36 |
| uberdub | its an adobe bug, and so far the workarounds arent working | 00:36 |
| uberdub | fuck man, is it too much to ask for an OS that just works? | 00:36 |
| uberdub | I expected this crap worked out by 12.04 | 00:37 |
| skreech_ | !ohmy | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 00:38 |
| wissam | skreech_: nvidia-xconfig gives an error message says that there is no xorg.conf and generates a new one | 00:38 |
| wylde_ | uberdub: complain to adobe, it's closed source. Only they can update/develop it. | 00:38 |
| skreech_ | ubuntulog: You can use 10.04 if that works | 00:38 |
| uberdub | yeah thats fine for flash, but not bugs in sleep | 00:39 |
| skreech_ | wissam: and that doesn't work when you restart X ? | 00:39 |
| wissam | skreech_: No just a black screen | 00:39 |
| uberdub | complain to adobe, and chase my tail. lol | 00:39 |
| skreech_ | wissam: no login | 00:39 |
| uberdub | that will get me far | 00:39 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: It's a kernel or driver issue | 00:39 |
| skreech_ | that's the realm of #ubuntu-server | 00:40 |
| wissam | skreech_: No | 00:40 |
| uberdub | ok, its their realm, but they will just kick me out? | 00:40 |
| skreech_ | but somehow Idon't think they care that much about server's sleeping. I've never had much luck debugging acpi but they may be able to help in that respect at least | 00:40 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: I'd probably guess it's something stupid like a cheat code needed but I don't know enough to wager a guess | 00:41 |
| uberdub | this has been going on for over a year. really getting old | 00:41 |
| skreech_ | wissam: do you have any errors in the ~/.xsession-errors ? | 00:41 |
| uberdub | id like to be able to run something past 10.04 | 00:41 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: ask in #ubuntu-server then | 00:42 |
| uberdub | hopefully some one alive in there | 00:43 |
| wissam | skreech_: No, nothing about nvidia | 00:44 |
| skreech_ | wissam: how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 00:45 |
| wissam | skreech_:I'll try to add Option "UseDisplayDevice" "CRT-1" in xorg.conf | 00:48 |
| skreech_ | Hmm | 00:49 |
| skreech_ | OK | 00:49 |
| wissam | skreech_: Unable to find any of the requested display device "" in the list of available display devices "CRT-1" | 00:49 |
| skreech_ | CRT-1 is the name of the device ? | 00:50 |
| wissam | skreech_: I don't know newbie here | 00:51 |
| skreech_ | Ah where did you get the name CRT-1 from ? | 00:51 |
| wissam | skreech_: from /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:52 |
| skreech_ | What was the line? | 00:52 |
| wissam | skreech_: 5.452] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to find any of the requested display device "" in the | 00:54 |

| skreech_ | genii: are there any tools to figure out things like what is happening when a sleep command is issued? | 01:13 |
| genii | skreech_: The scripts are all in the acpi directory | 01:14 |
| skreech_ | locate acpi ? | 01:14 |
| skreech_ | uberdub is having the machine lock up as soon as you click suspend | 01:14 |
| genii | skreech_: sleep, hibernate, etc scripts are all in /etc/acpi | 01:15 |
| genii | skreech_: So whatever is in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh is what is being executed | 01:15 |
| uberdub | so what has changed in there since 10.04 lts? | 01:16 |
| skreech_ | Seems like a kernel issue to me but I don't know enough to decide if that's a acpi issue or a driver issue or a cheat code thing. I don't even know how to figure out how to rule out the possibilities | 01:16 |
| uberdub | ksystemlog gives this for component acpi: PCI Interrupt Link [AAZA] enabled at IRQ 23 | 01:18 |

| uberdub | skreech_ is that to exucute it ro check the log? | 02:02 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: That will execute it with a verbose tracking and then create a log in the home directory so if it freezes up you can see what's going on | 02:03 |
| uberdub | ok, ran it | 02:03 |
| skreech_ | At least it will give you what's happening and possibly where it's causing the freeze | 02:03 |
| uberdub | this is what it gave in terminal: http://pastebin.com/TsK0cpp7 | 02:06 |
| uberdub | so try to sleep now, and see if it works, and if not check the log? | 02:07 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: What laptop is this? | 02:11 |
| uberdub | hp mini 311 1000-nr | 02:13 |
| skreech_ | Ah right so it discovered that corerctly | 02:15 |
| uberdub | yeahb saw that | 02:16 |
| skreech_ | seems to be missing something though | 02:19 |
| uberdub | you find something? | 02:19 |
| skreech_ | well it finds the powermanagement user | 02:20 |
| skreech_ | It sets a variable | 02:20 |
| skreech_ | then echoes 0 and exits | 02:21 |
| uberdub | right.. | 02:21 |
| skreech_ | I'm not seeing where it actually goes to sleep | 02:21 |
| uberdub | I wondered that at the end too, cause it doesnt | 02:21 |
| uberdub | its as if there is a script missing or something? | 02:21 |
| skreech_ | well the sh -x will not show the entire script. Just the parts that it's attempting to run | 02:22 |
| skreech_ | So you are seeing a subset of the script | 02:22 |
| uberdub | ah ok | 02:23 |
| frogonwheels | Repeat question. I'm having xserver crashes running minecraft (which is java), it seems to be to do with the client not the server though: | 02:25 |

| frogonwheels | Machine A -> A:0 (ie program running on machine A, and displaying on screen A:0) crashes A:0. A->B:0 crashes B:0 .... B->A:0 doesn't crash and B->B:0 doesn't crash! | 02:26 |

| frogonwheels | if anybody has an idea whether I should be asking on xorg or java forums.. or minecraft or what!? | 02:27 |
| frogonwheels | Tried both OpenJDK and sun Java with same crash | 02:28 |
| Nicekiwi | frogonwheels: which version of Minecraft? and what graphics driver are you using? | 02:29 |
| skreech_ | uberdub: Hmm what's in that file? | 02:31 |
| skreech_ | frogonwheels: any logs? | 02:32 |
| uberdub | Ill check | 02:32 |
| skreech_ | Mine is using a ATI specific tool to blank the screen | 02:33 |
| uberdub | skreech_ its a text file | 02:34 |
| skreech_ | I'm aware | 02:34 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: I'll pull together a pastebin. | 02:34 |

| uberdub | this is the text of the file. http://pastebin.com/aKJimUTr | 02:36 |
| === mkhan3189 is now known as icplusplus | ||
| uberdub | skreech_ any idea? | 03:03 |
| skreech_ | Well it has the same text as mine. It's running some test for power management scripts and the environment. IT's found you laptop and the environment that it's in. Far as I can tell it shoudl be running a lock script but something is missing that's not doing that. | 03:04 |
| skreech_ | Course this is on the run that we are doing now. udev is kicking in and locking your screen but I don't know if that's doing any tests or if it's just kicked off by the powerdevil | 03:05 |
| uberdub | oh | 03:06 |
| uberdub | bbiaf errands. | 03:07 |
| uberdub | I get the feeling this is gonna take a while to figure out. I really dont want to run windows, but this is my only computer currently. | 03:08 |
| frogonwheels | I got sidetracked, http://paste.kde.org/501146/ ( tag skreech_ ) | 03:41 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: if you can think of any other information that might be useful to aid diagnosis.. let me know. They're both pretty much up-to-date package-wise | 03:43 |
| skreech_ | Yeah that's a video card driver breaking | 03:43 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: yes.. but how would that explain that it's not about the server, but about the machine it's running from. | 03:44 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: they're both using the xorg ATI drivers btw. | 03:44 |
| skreech_ | Same video cards? | 03:45 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: no | 03:45 |
| skreech_ | Oh that would have been strange then | 03:45 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: But I get minecraft to work on either of the xservers as long as I run it from machine B | 03:45 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: so if I'm on A, ssh -X into B, and run minecraft, it will quite happily run on screen A:0 without crashing it. | 03:46 |
| skreech_ | Yeah it's probably calling some effect on one of the cards that the driver just screws up | 03:46 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: and if I'm on B an ssh -X into A, it will crash B:0 | 03:46 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: and if I'm on A and run it on A:0 it will crash A:0 | 03:46 |
| skreech_ | well it's an X crash so It's calling something. are you running the same version of minecraft? | 03:48 |
| L3top | frogonwheels: lspci -nn | grep 'VGA' | 03:58 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: yep.. same version. L3top will do that now.but gg soon | 04:04 |
| frogonwheels | L3top: Machine A: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] [1002:9715] | 04:05 |
| frogonwheels | L3top: Machine B: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar PRO [Radeon HD 5450] [1002:68f9] | 04:05 |
| frogonwheels | L3top, skreech_ : i'm figuring it's maybe one of the libraries that is being used on machine A that's different? Trying to think what affects the GLX commands sent to an Xserver | 04:07 |
| skreech_ | Well A certainly has a much less capable card | 04:07 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: sure. but remember that running the program on A with screen B:0 still crashes the B:0 xserver | 04:08 |
| skreech_ | Yep | 04:08 |
| skreech_ | I'd probably try putting the settings from A on B and see if that will start crashing the B client server | 04:09 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: we're talking a pristine minecraft setup on both | 04:09 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: A:0 is running over HDMI too - but again, B:0 still crashes.. | 04:10 |
| frogonwheels | unless the settings of A:0 are affecting how it runs on B:0 | 04:10 |
| skreech_ | You could try on #minecraft | 04:10 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: yep. it's hard to know if I should try on #minecraft or #java or what :| | 04:11 |
| skreech_ | I'd start from #minecraft | 04:11 |
| frogonwheels | skreech_: anyway, thankyou for your time and input, i'll keep plugging away at it. | 04:11 |

| rd1381 | and oxygen-gtk | 05:38 |

| fasta | Does anyone understand why Virtuoso uses to much CPU? | 08:40 |
| fasta | I gave it 1GB of RAM to play with (the maximum configurable) and still it's not happy. | 08:41 |
| fasta | so much CPU* | 08:41 |
| fasta | The point of an index service is that it indexes everything and then at some point it is done if no changes are made. | 08:42 |
| fasta | But this seems to run forever. | 08:42 |
| fasta | If everything is implemented correctly, such a service could index everything in 15 minutes starting from an empty database. | 08:42 |
| fasta | So, I have the impression it is not implemented correctly and instead is written by a bunch of people who have no clue as to what they are doing. | 08:43 |

| cancer | Hi, i have installed Nvidia Quadro Fx 1000 drivers and facing issue. resolution reset when i restart machine? any solution | 20:27 |
| dougl | how do I enable services... sshd apcupsd so they are running on reboot? | 20:27 |
| dougl | cancer, can you 'sudo nvidia-settings', config settings and write setting to x config? | 20:28 |
| cancer | dougl: i already did that. | 20:29 |
| cancer | but same | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | cancer, how did you install the drivers ? | 20:29 |
| dougl | hmmm and you had permissions and everything for the X config? | 20:29 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: sudo apt-get install nvidia-173, i can change resolution from nvidia settings and even saved many time. but same. it get reset when reboot the machine. | dougl: yes | 20:30 |
| dougl | hmmm | 20:31 |
| cancer | Even tried this http://paste.kde.org/501542/ | 20:32 |
| dougl | I had funky issues with nvidia with 12.04... | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | cancer, when you install a graphics driver you have to stop kdm first , otherwise the driver won't install . The best way for you wouldn be to open kmenu >applications>system>additional drivers , choose the recommended driver and let then installer do the work for you . Trying to install from the terminal with X/kdm running won't work | 20:34 |
| cancer | dougl: i followed these steps to install them. followed till last. http://paste.kde.org/501548/ | 20:34 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: drivers are working fine. just resolution reset. they are saving configurations but resolution reset when i reboot machine. that is all i'm having issue with. | 20:35 |
| BluesKaj | cancer , open a terminal and do, dpkg -l | grep nvidia , to see which driver you have installed , just to make sure | 20:38 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: http://paste.kde.org/501554/ | 20:43 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: what does it says? | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | cancer, why did you install the 173 driver when you have the nvidia-current driver available , which is 3 generations newer and probly recommended | 20:47 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: sorry, but i don't want to do more experiments on driver thing, they always mess. now i finally got 173 and working fine. except only the issue i'm facing. i have even tried other driver. | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | ok cancer ,can well you'll continue to have graphics problems if you don't follow the rules of installing the drivers properly ..but that's your call | 20:53 |
| cancer | BluesKaj: thanks :) | 20:53 |
| * BluesKaj suspects there's been some bad graphics install advice here, ppl try to be helpful , but don't realize the consequences sometimes | 20:56 | |

| uberdub | skreech_ you around? | 21:29 |
| skreech_ | Yes | 21:30 |
| merlin1991 | hey guys, I don't know how I did it, but I've got ridiculously huge icons in my task swticher atm (atl + tab) how can I change that back? | 21:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: does it happen after re login? | 21:49 |
| merlin1991 | yep | 21:50 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: goto system settings | 21:50 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: in that goto desktop effects | 21:50 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: wait | 21:51 |
| merlin1991 | ... | 21:53 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: in desktop effects goto all effects | 21:53 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: click the settings button beside the cover switch | 21:55 |
| merlin1991 | hm whatever I do to the zoom there has no effect | 21:56 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: then you must be using the box switch effect | 21:57 |
| merlin1991 | hm no influence aswell | 21:59 |
| uberdub | skreech_ : figured it out. its the kernel | 21:59 |
| uberdub | running a 2.6 kernel under 12.04 all is well now. seemed to be my network manager that caused it. I found a log that network manager was freezing. uninstalled NM, and installed wicd, and defaulted to the 2.6 kernel | 22:00 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: my task switch shows at a size of 200X200 approx | 22:01 |
| merlin1991 | hm I'm not so worried about the switch itself, but the distinct icons for each open window, they are so huge that I only get 4 of them before i starts to scroll horizontally on a 1440x900 screen | 22:02 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: use my nick when talking to me so that i will be alerted | 22:14 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: any suggestions though? | 22:15 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: press first letter of my nick and then tab to complete | 22:15 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: can you paste the screen cap | 22:16 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: eh, key for screencap in kde? never had to use it yet :D | 22:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: printscreen | 22:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: it must be beside beside pause/break on top right on a normal keyboard | 22:17 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: ofc alt+tab + printscreen does not work :/ | 22:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: oh you are talking about the alt+tab icons | 22:20 |
| merlin1991 | yep | 22:20 |
| merlin1991 | "in my task swticher atm (atl + tab)" | 22:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: ya cannot take a scrren cap | 22:21 |
| merlin1991 | lemme use trick17 | 22:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: what happens when you disable box switch in desktop effects? | 22:24 |
| merlin1991 | nothing | 22:24 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: http://imagebin.org/216705 | 22:28 |
| merlin1991 | trick 17 finally worked :) | 22:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: did you modify any icon size settings? | 22:43 |
| merlin1991 | I don't remember doing so on purpose | 22:43 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: ok check the icon sizes | 22:43 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: where? | 22:45 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: system settings -> application appearance -> icons-> advanced tab | 22:46 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: for me the icons in all the case does not exceed 48 | 22:47 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: they don't even exceed 32 here | 22:47 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: you mean all? | 22:47 |
| merlin1991 | I mean all of them | 22:47 |
| merlin1991 | I bet there is some keyboard key for near sighted mode ore somehting similar | 22:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: do you have the guest account enabled? | 22:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: did you try a restart? | 22:52 |
| merlin1991 | I had the problem since about 5 restarts, only decided now to go and tackle it | 22:52 |
| merlin1991 | phoenix_firebrd: ^ | 22:54 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: got to the folder .kde/share/config/ | 22:54 |
| merlin1991 | and? | 22:54 |
| merlin1991 | rm -rf * ? ;) | 22:55 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: rename the file kwinrc to someother and try a restart | 22:55 |
| merlin1991 | on my way | 22:56 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: done? | 22:58 |

| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: the previews, not just the icons | 23:05 |
| merlin1991 | yep I get 4 previews in a horizontal line | 23:05 |
| merlin1991 | is it possibly to reduce it to icons and get even more? | 23:05 |
| merlin1991 | because I usually have about 12 windows :D | 23:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: maybe not | 23:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | merlin1991: does this really bother you? | 23:07 |
| merlin1991 | yeah | 23:07 |
| merlin1991 | I'm used to a workflow where I rapidly swap between at least 6 windows | 23:07 |
