[00:08] I have a hard drive question, a process is abusing I/O operations on my drive, is there any way to find out which one it is, also, it doesn [00:08] 't show in System Activity === hichamej_ is now known as hichamej === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:57] hello? [02:06] greetings! is there a program in KDE that one can use to mount iso's (like MagicISO in Windows)?? [02:10] AcetoneISO, Furius ISO, GmountISO [02:12] ScottyK: not specific to kde but if you can also do it from the cli with mount -t iso9660 foo.iso ./mount_point [02:21] amason_ - what would the mount point look like normally? [02:24] ScottyK: well it's just whatever directory you want it to appear as [02:24] like if i wanted the contents of the cd to appear in /home/bob/mycd then that would be my mount point [02:25] ah, I get it! Thanks... [02:30] . [02:31] greeting! is there a way to improve frame per second? I have a NVIDIA card GTX550 and Iam getting 3 to 4 FPS in spring game.

Does anyone here have Compiz working under KDE? I get segmentation faults when trying to start it (or CCSM). === len is now known as Guest32084 [05:12] contrast: I do except I'm on 10.04 still :P [05:12] OxDeadC0de: Which version of KDE? [05:12] 4.4.5 [05:22] Yeah, I read something that indicated Compiz doesn't work on recent versions of KDE. I'm looking for evidence to the contrary though. :P [05:28] Sysinfo for 'skreech-desktop': Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae running KDE Development Platform 4.8.90 (4.8.90), CPU: AMDPhenomIIX61055T at 800 MHz (5618 bogomips), HD: 1254/1402GB, RAM: 3727/3987MB, 258 proc's, 6.0d up [05:28] Huh [05:28] That works [05:41] Good morning === len is now known as Guest93704 [06:36] Morning === len is now known as Guest96136 [06:54] Morning [06:54] Good morning all [06:54] Hello [07:06] hello [07:07] hello.. [07:08] Anything new anyone? [07:11] like what? got a new SSD yesterday.... [07:12] well that is interesting, which SSD? [07:13] made me laugh because my local server's drive died. it was a 20GB drive and when i went to one store to get a replacement the smallest they had was a 2TB drive. Got a 60GB SSD instead [07:14] its an OCZ 60gb [07:15] so the smallest they had was a 2TB disk? was it supposed to be a system disk or+ [07:16] i see why you bought yourself a ssd instead. [07:16] the smallest HDD drive they had was 2TB. That is a big jump in space when the 20GB wasnt close to full [07:17] its just for a local server i use for testing stuff before uploading it to a live server [07:17] "got nothing smaller?" [07:19] i am currently watching the "latest update on the higgs boson" search from cern. I got to say it is some advanced physics involved there. [07:21] Just some light viewing to pass the time then... [07:22] What is best to use for connecting to a samba server with username and password? [07:23] 'installation step failed'. hmmm. [07:23] i use konqueror and smb:// [07:24] from memory I think you only need to set the username/password once. [07:27] ussher_: you can set it in system settings [07:27] krunner -> search for samba [07:27] thanks, it works great. [07:28] you can set default properties to use [07:28] oh, cbb you had the initial question :) [07:28] yes i did :) [07:39] cbb: 'higgs boson' thats some heavy stuff. I just watched part of a youtube video titled "Has the Higgs Boson Finally Been Found?". the commentator says "lab scientists found hints of the higgs" just as they do a zoom in on a guy cleaning a part. lol [07:39] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QG1O_EMY4I at 0:37 [07:40] Hehe yeah, http://webcast.web.cern.ch/webcast/play_higgs.html [07:41] The webcast is a bit more high detailed. [07:42] wow. [07:42] It is really interesting, do you agree? [07:43] its too far above my head to comment. i normally watch poker to waste time while stuff installs. [07:43] Its nice to know someone knows that much. [07:44] Well yeah, it is really heavy physics.... [07:45] It looks like there would be some really fun and interesting stuff in there if after you had put in the effort to learn the basic less fun and interesting stuff. [07:47] Well the problem with physics is that you must crunch data for every time you do something, and then you have to analyze everything. [07:48] ussher_: there is a lot of data there. [07:48] all the data in the universe. [07:48] pretty much === matteo is now known as Guest22936 [10:53] Hey there, is it okay to install packages via apt-get as root?

Google finance does not really have a right click menu with a lot of choices... [11:21] cbb: do u check second site with video? [11:25] Yeah. [11:25] And what about metalic sounds?

My guess would be the xorg updates. They tinkered with some fairly fundamental things. What version are you on? [18:12] Probably to use the xorg-edgers [18:13] yeah... bumblebee is far from "good" but it is the best you got [18:13] 12.04 precise [18:13] You have been on 12.04 for a year? [18:14] no i started with 11. someting [18:14] Or did you upgrade to 1204 from what had been working for a year [18:14] ok [18:14] but 12.04 3 months ago i guess [18:14] Again... my guess is xserver-xorg-core [18:15] and 3 months ago it was good? [18:15] it was not until this current update? [18:15] yeah smooth [18:15] hmmm [18:15] I don't think anything major changed in that time [18:15] Let me poke around. Will be a few minutes alexfreewalker [18:15] i can send u the log, but its fucking long [18:15] alexfreewalker: please no cursing in here [18:15] unless u know waht ur looking for [18:17] Mmm coffee [18:17] so whats up [18:17] running kubuntu 12.04 on a net book [18:18] having difficulty getting power saving to not turn of screen when pluged in [18:18] coffeeboy: I have it installed on my Acer D260 but find it unbearably slow there [18:18] chillin [18:18] genii-around: how did u manage to fix the thing with the fontd and graphics? [18:18] im running mint at the moment [18:18] Seems to run snapy on my Acer EEpc1005peb [18:19] alexfreewalker: It resolved itself after some system updates [18:19] coffeeboy: power managment sucks on 12.04 [18:19] I agree [18:19] are there any work arounds [18:19] alexfreewalker: I do have some PPAs however, like the xorg-edgers one and some others [18:20] On another note happy 4th to all US peeps [18:21] It is realy hot out today [18:21] coffeeboy: 11.04 was the best so far, if u want to, u can install it and freeze the update, turn off everything related to system and security updates and it would be the best [18:22] * L3top has had great success with 1204, including power management. [18:22] * L3top also knows he is in the minority [18:22] genii-around: how do u add xorg-edgers to your PPA? [18:23] alexfreewalker: I tried 11.04 on this netbook and 12.04 seems to run better outside of the power managment [18:23] coffeboy: u got my 11.04 messege? [18:23] alexfreewalker: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [18:24] coffeboy: haven't tried it non netbooks [18:24] on* [18:24] alexfreewalker: Caveat: Use at your own risk [18:24] the 310m is a weird one frankly... I have only ever supported it on Macs. [18:24] :yao ming: nothing left to be destroyed, system is already f up [18:24] alecfreewalker: Maybe I will give it another try in the comming days and weeks [18:25] alexfreewalker: what is this laptop out of curiosity [18:25] ASUS U36JC [18:26] coffeboy: give 10.10 a try [18:26] Other than the power managment thing I had 11.04 maybe on my desktop a while ago and it had an option to set the wallpaper per the current weather conditions [18:27] what happened to the opption? [18:28] alexfreewalker: I will play around with you suggestions, do you remember when the netbook interface was introduced in kde? [18:28] i have no idea... since my update to 12.04, things got worse, knetattach keeps crashing, synaptics touch pad software keeps crashing, cant save poer managment settings...etc [18:29] Any way we gotta go to a cook out for the 4th with my sister and brother in law [18:29] have a good day and stay cool [18:29] coffeeboy i dont know when... sorry [18:29] L3top: any updates? [18:30] alexfreewalker: still looking at things... however... can you please make your laptop mess up and lsmod | grep -Ei '(intel|nvidia)' presuming you are using the nvidia drivers over the nouveau [18:31] L3top: u think i should do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [18:31] I am trying to figure out which modules are loaded at that time, intel or nvidia [18:32] I think you should sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver and perhaps uninstall nvidia-current and install nvidia-current-updates [18:32] I tend not to recommend PPAs as they are bleeding edge experimental drivers, and you have a poorly supported graphics situation to begin with. [18:32] With regard to xorg-edgers or x-swat [18:33] All due respect to genii-around [18:33] It would be my last line of attack [18:33] http://pastebin.com/MgjvF20F [18:34] L3top, glxinfo | grep OpenGL, should tell what's loaded [18:34] * genii-around makes more coffee and follows the current line of attack [18:35] http://pastebin.com/TJkKyLkz [18:35] ty BluesKaj... [18:36] L3top i ran sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current [18:37] Well... it looks like nvidia is not the culprit here... but the intel driver. [18:37] Do try that accelleration install I gave you and... I would just reboot [18:38] yes sir! [18:38] but installing nvidia-current-updates is a good idea first lol... the 295.40 driver has a regression issue which is fixed in the updates anyway [18:41] L3top, not sure about 12.04 , but the 302.17 driver is finally updated and working on 12.10 [18:41] I am in the middle of a rather dicey global upgrade for my system as well. I am going to have to reboot my core as soon as this last machine finishes its kernel upgrade... so... I will hopefully be right back. [18:42] 302 is a good driver. When 304 hits, anything 4xx+ is going to get a serious boost though... +20% performance -20% power consumption. I am looking very forward to that guy.

[19:03] Installed: 2:2.19.0+git20120703.9e2ac8a4-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise [19:04] you could try pinning version 2:2.17.0* [19:05] apt-get removing and then apt get installing [19:05] also this was updated xserver-xorg-video-cirrus:i386 (1.4.0+git20120521.2e35bc31-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise, 1.5.0+git20120702.46a9e962-0ubuntu0sarvatt~precise) [19:05] I've been receiving a "java not installed" or "upgrade to newest java" message on firefox14 , is this common ? [19:05] * L3top wonders if it is looking at free java or insists on sun java [19:06] L3top what exactly should I apt-get? and how do I specify the version that was working 3 days ago? [19:07] odd , java-common isn't installed [19:08] alexfreewalker: try creating an /etc/apt/preferences file with line 1) Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel line 2) Pin: version 2:2.17.0* line 3) Pin-Priority: 1000 [19:09] alexfreewalker: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [19:10] and... it is just the way I am with video frame buffer... reboot. I know it should not necessarily be necessary... It is just how I do. [19:11] oops [19:12] I forgot... you will need to apt-get update after making the preferences file [19:13] sh!t [19:13] alexfreewalker: Please stop with the bad language. [19:14] ^ what is his problem [19:14] alexfreewalker: Your language is his problem, this is a public chat room. [19:16] L3top should i install the dependencies or do something before? [19:16] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [19:16] xserver-xorg-video-intel : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 [19:16] ugh [19:16] abi [19:16] that is going to be the source of all ill. This IS the fault of xorg [19:17]
