charthyI have .torrent files setup to open in Transmission via the System Settings, but Chromium is opening it in Ktorrent. Why is chromium not following the system settings for application launches?03:13
charthyAfter looking into it more, it has to do magnet links, which are a protocol... so new question:03:30
charthyHow do I configure the applications used for protocols?03:30
hanasakiwhat hardware mobo/chips/monitor/hdmi?displayport will run at over 1080p?03:31
hellslingerbasically anything above a Geforce 6 or ATI HD 2xxx series will do03:34
hanasakihellslinger:  what output ? hdmi ? that only goes ot 108003:42
hellslingerall will go to 108003:43
charthySo far, all I have found is program called xdg-open... but I searched in the directories containing its configuration files, and I couldn't find magnet in any of them...03:51
charthyat the same time, xdg-open 'magnet:/' opens in ktorrent... how can I configure it to open in transmission?03:52
hanasakihellslinger:  right.  I am looking for over 180p03:52
hanasaki1080p03:52

serrobai can use the system for a while04:37
serrobasome days pretty normal04:37
serrobaothers a lot of fails04:37

TheAncientGoatYou can try accessing  /var/log from a livecd if you cannot check them out from inside this install04:37
TheAncientGoatWhen does it freeze normally?04:37
TheAncientGoatWhile browsing the web?04:37

neosbhi I have a problem with lan, just before turnig off one of my computers everything was fine, but now after logging into fresh kubuntu the same configuration doesn't work - ping tells me that computers are reachable in the network but none of services really works, I use remote desktop and samba, from #ubuntu-pl they told to chec telnet, but it doesn't work too. Could you give me any solution to that kind of issue?11:21
Smurphyneosb: check: ~# ifconfig11:29
Smurphywhat it returns. If it has an IP - make also a: ~# route -n11:29
Smurphyto see if there is a default route.11:29
SmurphyIf that one works - check if the resolver configuration has a Nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf11:29

PingatorI am having problems with firefox tooltips. They disappear faster than I can read them.15:36
PingatorI think its caused by the cursor hiding when not moved. The Strange thing is, it doesnt happen on my other computer with kubuntu freshinstall15:37
phoenix_firebrdPingator: you mean the toolptip shown in the bottom left of the firefox window?15:48
Pingatorphoenix_firebrd: no i mean every tooltip like the alternative texts for links and images16:15
phoenix_firebrdPingator: what is your firefox version?16:17
Pingatorphoenix_firebrd: 13.0 on the freshinstall and waiit16:19
Pingatorphoenix_firebrd: 13.0 on the freshinstall and the same on the other one16:20
phoenix_firebrdPingator: if you dont mind purging and reinstalling firefox, can you do it?16:21
Pingatori will do that but keep the profile16:22
Pingatorbut16:22
Pingatori think its not caused by firefox16:22
Pingatoron the other machine the cursur disappears after a second when not moved, independent of firefox, on this one it doesnt16:23
phoenix_firebrdPingator: as far as i know, firefox is a gtk application, anything regarding it should be in dconf16:25
Pingatorokay firefox is purged and reinstalled with a new profile but its still happening16:26
Pingatorwhere is dconf?16:27
phoenix_firebrdPingator: in the home dir, inside the .cache folder. close firefox  rename it to something else and start firefox and check again16:28
Pingatorthat file is empty16:29
phoenix_firebrdPingator: what about inside .config?16:31
Pingatorno such file in there16:31

BarkingFishany ideas on what I can do?18:36

jorsHey everyone.  Recently got a barely used notebook for free from a family member.  Specs are Intel T7200 Core 2 Dual-core 2GHz, 2Gb RAM, 60Gb HDD, Intel GMA graphics (crap!) etc etc.  Dunno what to do with it.  Has Xp on it the mo.  Any recommendations for a distro for this machine?  Have no real use for it, was thinking of giving it to a friend as a gift or whatever.... Which distro will fit it whilst being easy to use for someone coming from a windows19:45

PingatorHi, I just wiped an usbstick with random data directly to the device file. This somehow made it read only. fdisk refuses to write a partition table. Where is this flag and how can I change it?23:08
SamuraiGhostPingator: Did you try parted?23:12
SamuraiGhostPingator: how do you know it's read only?23:13
PingatorSamuraiGhost: parted and disk utilty say its read only23:13
Pingatorfdisk says the device descriptor is missing, wants to write a new one and when instructed to write, it fails23:14
SamuraiGhostso writes to the device with dd now fail?23:14
phoenix_firebrdPingator: the system may mount it ready-only when the filesystem is damaged23:14
SamuraiGhostbut he should be using the device file, not a filesystem23:14
SamuraiGhostit's not mounted right?23:15
Pingatoryep not mounted23:15
SamuraiGhostso it has nothing to do with a filesystem23:15
Pingatorits /yes23:15
SamuraiGhostdo dd writes to the device fail?23:15
phoenix_firebrdin that case check for root privilege23:15
SamuraiGhostyeah, are you using sudo?23:16
Pingatorum yes its just /dev/sde and when trying again with dd it writes 135 mb and then stops23:16
Pingatoryes sudo -i session23:16
SamuraiGhostI've seen some failing flash drives behave similar23:16
SamuraiGhosttry writing zeros to it and try again23:17
Pingatorwhere can I get zeros?23:17
Pingatorin case of dd23:17
phoenix_firebrdPingator: goto India :)23:17
SamuraiGhostPingator:  /dev/zero23:17
Pingatorlol23:18
Pingatornice 2gb written23:18
SamuraiGhostsudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/dev bs=4k23:18
SamuraiGhostthe bs=4k usually makes it go faster23:18
Pingatorfdisk writes again thx SamuraiGhost23:18
SamuraiGhostcool :)23:18
SamuraiGhostI'd run badblocks on it if I were you23:19
SamuraiGhostsounds like something isn't right with the flash drive23:19
Pingatorbadblocks -v tells everything ok23:21
Pingatoris there a tool for device information like hdparm for usbsticks?23:23
SamuraiGhost|2this will write random data, then go back and read it from the device and verify it: sudo badblocks -w -t random -v -s /path/to/device23:24
SamuraiGhostit's distructive btw23:25
SamuraiGhostso be careful23:25
Pingatorthere is nothing important on it. It finished in 1 second without errors23:26
SamuraiGhostthat command finished in one second? O_o23:27
SamuraiGhost2GB?23:27
SamuraiGhostit should not be that fast23:27
Pingatordd zero to device also in about 1 second23:27
SamuraiGhost2TB?23:27
SamuraiGhosterr GB?23:27
Pingatoryes23:27
SamuraiGhostyeah, something isnt right23:27
SamuraiGhostit's probably a much lower capacity than it should be23:28
SamuraiGhostalso a sign of bad flash drives23:28
Pingatorwhen i got it i did a read benchmark on it where the speed was really inconsistent, for some parts about 20 mb/s and for some about 9mb/s but nothing that looks like its caused by a cache23:30
Pingatorwrite was similar but i dont remember the numbers23:30
SamuraiGhostwell think how long 20MB/s would take to cover all 2GB.23:31
SamuraiGhostit should take way longer than a second lol23:31
Pingatormaybe the zero overwrite tweaked it to over 900023:32
SamuraiGhostIt would be nice if USB flash drives had something like smart23:33
SamuraiGhostas far as I know there isn't a way to find out what's going on internally23:33
Pingatorthe filesystem works when created and mounted but then i replugged the stick and its read only with garbage on it again. looks like the entire device was cached in ram23:34
Pingatormeh23:34
L3topDid you unmount it cleanly?23:35
L3topor just yank it out?23:35
Pingatorumount then replugged23:35
Pingatori just found a thread about an ro/rw switch under the cover of some cheap sticks but how could i have triggered it23:38
Pingatorbad thing is that this cover is a single piece of rubber23:41
SamuraiGhostPingator: I think it's broken.  I've had 2 or 3 usb flash drives fail with exactly the same problems you described.23:42
SamuraiGhosttry it on some other machines and see if there is anything different23:42
Pingatorhas one of them had the device id for Transcend JetFlash?23:42
SamuraiGhostI don't remember, it's been a while since I had any fail23:43
SamuraiGhostand I didn't care too much since they were small capacity23:43
Pingatorthis one was 4gb23:44
SamuraiGhost:x23:44
SamuraiGhostany warranty?23:44
Pingatorno i got it for free, so no big loss but its annoying that it fails when i want to use it23:45
SamuraiGhostThat's why I run badblocks on new drives23:46
SamuraiGhostso it fails before I use it :)23:46
Pingatorive still got a 8gb one but it it has a metal case which is so bulky that it doesnt fit in the place where my usb ports are23:46
Pingatorshape of a key, 4 cm width23:47
