noaXessthis crontab: 25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) means that i should start at 6:25, right? but it is starting now.. 7:2105:22
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: what's going wrong?05:36
ubuntu__i installed nvidia drivers and now the X doesn't start05:37
pythonhi05:37
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log  ?05:37
ubuntu__yes05:38
frogonwheels_ubuntu__:  use a !pastebin05:38
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: ok. sounds like you need to read up on how to ask a question in irc :)05:40
ubuntu__frogonwheels: i m sorry was getting the log file05:40
ubuntu__http://pastebin.com/J91t9RM805:40
frogonwheels_[   144.809] (EE) No devices detected.05:41
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: ^^  I suspect this might have something to do with it.  Have you loaded the nvidia modules?05:41
ubuntu__i installed nvidia drivers from the terminal and then i did an update and restarted the laptop...X didn't start05:42
ubuntu__so right now i m using live usb05:43
frogonwheels_so which modules did that load  (looks like  nvidia-173   or something)05:43
frogonwheels_?05:43
frogonwheels_did you install nvidia-current  package?05:44
ubuntu__yes i installed it and i have nvidia-current folders too in lib05:44
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: lsmod | grep nvidia  ??05:44
ubuntu__i am afraid i didn't do that05:45
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: anything  in dmesg  about nvidia?05:45
ubuntu__can u explain05:45
frogonwheels_ubuntu__:   dmesg | grep -i nvidia    are there any errors?05:46
ubuntu__i will have to do it05:46
ubuntu__cuz as of now05:46
ubuntu__i m using it through the live usb05:46
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: I mean X didn't find any nvidia screens, so possibly the module didn't load, or there were errors loading the module05:46
ubuntu__i suspect the module didn't load05:47
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: ok. well have a look-see and report back.  I'd put it all in one pastebin so if I'm not here somebody else can take over05:47
ubuntu__its like i guess nvidia module is not loading automatically on startup05:47
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: well the other thing is, that if the nvidia module doesn't load.. try sudo modprobe nvidia  (or whatever the module is called)05:48
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: and see in log for any errors generated /var/log/message ? or /var/log/kern.log05:48
ubuntu__i tried doing this...but i guess the name is not nvidia.....how to find the name of the module?05:48
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: if that loads it up, yo might need to modify /etc/modules05:48
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: modules are in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/05:50
frogonwheels_ubuntu__:  find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -iname '*nvid*'05:50
frogonwheels_ubuntu__: sorry - both my *ubuntu boxes are ATI now05:51
ubuntu__ok05:51
ubuntu__i'll just check that05:52

Guest61268hi i hope someone can help. I've set up a webdav folder on my kubuntu system which works great. however the filetypes or mimes are recognised. a few are like .doc etc opens in libre office, but .svg and other ones I can't get to be recognised. even if i set them in file type properties, when i open the folder again they don't have an associated application...09:00
WizardGuest61268: As far as I remember most of mimes are being recognized by actual content.09:01
WizardGuest61268: I remember konqueror in KDE 3.5 had some options for remote content, I'm not sure how things look today.09:02
MamarokGuest61268: are you sure you have an actual vector graphic program installed that can open svg?09:02
Guest61268Wizard: thanks - i've had a look in file associations menu etc but not sure what i need to add...09:03

Guest61268it's just when i'm in the webdav folder in dolphin they don't open in the right apps09:04

HarmoniumHello. I've got a problem: I've just upgraded to Precise and my screen refresh rate resets to 60Hz down from 85 every time I log in. I'm adjusting it with nvidia-settings, which worked fine before. Any idea?13:48
hateballHarmonium: are you running it with sudo?13:52
=== chris_ is now known as Guest24354
Harmoniumhateball: yes. It also has an option to write the config into xorg.conf, which I tried, but it's of no use. It reverts back, even by logging off, not to mention restarting.13:54
hateballHarmonium: Ok13:55
hateballNot much help here I guess, the only nVidia device I use is this machine and I run at 50hz :p13:55
HarmoniumWell, I have a CRT monitor and at 60Hz it's not usable or my eyes will bleed. It was at 85Hz before the upgrade. I guess it could've gone worse, according to some complaints I've seen.13:56
BluesKajHarmonium, which nvidia card ? . My 7600gt doesn't allow anything over 54hz , how much tyhat has to do with the monitor's capabilities is a mystery to me.13:56
HamraHarmonium: what is the problem? i use nvidia here13:56
=== stefano is now known as Climber
=== Climber is now known as Climber89
Hamrai have 9400, it allows only 60 at 1280x1024, but allows 85hz on 1024x76813:58
HarmoniumIt's a GeForce GT 430. It was working well in 11.10. The refresh rate won't stay in the setting I want it.13:58
=== Climber89 is now known as Climber
Climberhi!13:59
HarmoniumIt's a simple problem to explain. It *looks* like a setting that's not getting saved. But other than sudo it, I don't know much more.14:03
Hamraset the refresh rate to whatever you want, ask it to save xorg.conf, but not to its usual place, any temporary place, and use pastebin to show us the content of this saved xorg.conf14:04
HarmoniumAlright. Never used pastebin before. Is this right? http://pastebin.com/wpqNgcPY14:09
Hamraalright, you have a line that reads  : Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024_85 +0+0; 1280x1024 +0+0"14:13
Hamrachange it to become: Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024_85 +0+0"14:13
Hamraand save the file (using sudo) to its usualy place, /etc/X11/xorg.conf14:13
Hamraand check if the screen starts at 85Hz everytime afterwards14:14
HarmoniumHamra: OK, I just did that. As soon as a background process I got running stops, I'll restart and check it out. Thanks for your help. :)14:18
Hamrayou're welcome :)14:19
HamraHarmonium: just to be safe, what usually happens with you, is after a reboot, or X restart, your screen goes back to low refresh rate... but when you manually set it to 85Hz, it accepts it and works fine with it, right?14:20
HarmoniumBoth restarting the machine or just logging out back to GDM/KDM reset the refresh rate back to 60; but if I set it to 85 it remains that way till I log out.14:22
Hamraalright, sounds good... checking because the last thing we want is a forced refresh rate that doesnt actually work...14:23
HarmoniumHamra: logging off didn't work. The problem is still there. But the xorg.conf setting is remains changed (ie, it didn't revert back to how it was)14:32
* BluesKaj thinks this an interesting discussion , but wonders how the monitor frame rates are affected14:34
* Hamra is confused14:36
HarmoniumI didn't actually reboot. Just logged off and back on. Should I restart the machine?14:37
Hamrano, not necessarily, logging off restarts the X server14:38
Hamracan you pastebin the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?14:39
HarmoniumThat's what I thought, but I was expecting to be wrong.14:39
HarmoniumThe file is rather long and it goes a bit back. How much should I paste?14:41
Hamrathe last 50 lines, i guess14:43
HarmoniumThere it is: http://pastebin.com/fRUuq1mm This one I don't understand, though.14:45
Hamranothing of value i'm afraid, can you pastebin the entire file?14:49

Joitare you dead or rotten or some of both?21:08
rottingdeadSome of both, hehe.21:09
Joit:D. anything else ok?21:09
rottingdeadOf course..  Decided to dual boot, and somewhat advanced with fdisk, but got stumped on the Extended part, so I let Kubuntu do it..21:10
Joitwell, i usual make a seperate partition for home another for the system, that way i can install anytime a new system21:11
Joitwithout  touching my home21:11
Joitand still a bit of swap21:11
rottingdeadJoit: Yeah, I have Windows on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, Win7 uses 2 partitions, I made an Extended on /dev/sda3, but perhaps I'm supposed to choose partition 2 to make the Extended ?21:11
rottingdeadI'm normally a Gentooer, but don't feel like waiting hours for that, heh..  Slow dual core cpu, 2.7 Ghz CPU.21:12
Joitwhat do you have at sda2, just datas?21:12
rottingdead/dev/sda2 is the main Windows, C:\ D:\, etc., etc.21:13
rottingdeadsda1 is the backup partition or something Windows makes.21:13
Joiti know w2k it made a little partition for its system, but its a to small partition to make another extended there21:14
rottingdeadDespite the fact Gentoo installs from Sources, it's not really that bad, all about optimizations.21:14
rottingdeadI used to have a second hard drive, but it decided to say, "Failure is imminent." =(.21:15
Joiti didnt try it before, i like the amount of kubuntu, and that enough peoples work on it21:15
Joit*gentoo21:15
rottingdeadIs Canonical going to start charging?  I think I heard that somewhere, which they can't, it would be illegal, do to it being GPL'ed.21:16
Joiti cant answer that sorry21:16
rottingdeadJoit: Yeah, who knows, I think I heard something about that, or I was just dreaming one day, lfao.21:17
rottingdeadlmfao**21:17
Joit /me forces chanserv to randomly poking arund21:17
rottingdeadGuess I'll head to google on the fdisk extended partioning.21:18
Joityeah, and not sure, if fdisk care if there are datas on the new space or not21:19
Joitsomeone mentioned once, he could manage it, to mess up his space21:19
rottingdeadDidn't realizee this, but fdisk goes by cylinders..  I don't know a lot lot about fdisk, just how to make 4 primary partitions, but trying to keep my Windows Partitions.21:22
rottingdeadI guess I can make a new primary make that my /boot, and make the 4Th primary my extended, no ?21:23
rottingdeadWhat I waas trying is just making an Extended on /dev/sda3 as 150Gib..21:24
rottingdeadOh oh, I do use up all 3 first, then on /dev/sda4 make that my Extended.21:27

It will only use my TV as the primary monitor when using the extend feature, or have the Plasma "bar" on the secondary (TV) monitor and the Plasma "Widgets" on the main monitor (DVI).  In windows, this is a non issue as Catalyst simply configures it as to I have my DVI monitor as my main, and my HDMI monitor is an extension of that. Why can't I do the same in Kubuntu 12.04? Is there a workaround for this?23:05
