|---|---|---|
| BS | petros - Try 'which ktorrent' from a cmd prompt. (konsole or Ctrl-Alt-F1). | 00:23 |
| petros | My firefox was really crippled after first install and I am still fixing it.. | 00:23 |

| dougl | err how do I install a new hard drive in my 12.04 install? there is no fstab anymore and I want ext4 fs not 3 dont I? | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, do you mean an external drive or another drive connected to the pc | 17:37 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, Hey - how are you?... I want to format my old 10.10 harddrive (sda) cuz I tar'd it onto my 12.04 install (sdb) - so yeah repartition and format (ext4) sda internal drive | 17:40 |
| * dougl wants whole drive one partition ext4 | 17:41 | |
| lordievader | Hello everyone | 17:41 |
| === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] | ||
| dougl | I know fdisk and fstab and not mkfs etc so I googled and found docs on howto 8.04 that is too old and did not work | 17:42 |
| === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 | ||
| BluesKaj | dougl, you can use the live-cd or gparted to partition and reformat the drive | 17:46 |
| === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] | ||
| === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 | ||
| BluesKaj | dougl, gparted also has a live-cd version ...vey handy | 17:48 |
| gits1225 | Guys, I am trying to select a different font for Konsole but there are only a limited set of fonts to choose from and all of 'em are monospace fonts. I see a lot of fonts in font management like Arial, but its not accessible from konsole? | 17:51 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, k - thanks... err and what is the 12.04 equivelant to fstab? | 17:52 |
| gits1225 | /etc/fstab ? | 17:53 |
| killown | WHY kde doesn't allow press simultaneously the two mouse bottoms at the same time? | 17:55 |
| GirlyGirl | killown: How does KDE stop you from pushing down the mouse buttons? | 17:56 |
| gits1225 | Haven't anyone tried changing their konsole font before? pffft >.< | 17:57 |
| killown | if I press at the same time doesnt happen anything | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, don't worry about fstab , partition you drive and install the OS | 17:59 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, I dont want to install anything on it - I just want it to be a mounted data drive. | 18:00 |
| gits1225 | UUID=2a490dbe-87e6-4698-8a28-99f0c0603d59 /media/data ext4 user,auto 0 2 | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, ok sudo mount /dev/sdX /nmt , it should show up as well ,after doing sudo update-grub . To find the partiton do sudo fdisk -l | 18:02 |
| gits1225 | dougl: use that example | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | partition/drive | 18:02 |
| killown | when the two-bottoms are pressed this simulate the middle mouse bottom, what useless feature? how to get ride of this? | 18:02 |
| killown | I know now what's going on | 18:03 |
| lordievader | You know that the /dev/sdX can change...That is why UUID is so useful :) | 18:03 |
| gits1225 | yeah | 18:03 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, gits1225 - thank for the help :) | 18:03 |
| gits1225 | :D | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, UUID doesn't seem to work with several differnt drives , hasn't worked here at least | 18:07 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Is that so? Hmm, that is quite annoying, I always had to mount drives manually because of changing /dev/sdX, until I found that UUID is static per partition ;) | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | I'm not talking partitions . I mean separate hard drives , with 2 partitons per drive ...I'm running 2 ubuntus , 1 windows and 1 other linux OS on 2 drives plus an external media/data drive | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader,^ | 18:11 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: I have 8 partitions over 3 drives, works fine. | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | raide ? | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | raided | 18:13 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Nope, just plain and simple. That might be the difference? | 18:14 |
| killown | my XORG.CONF Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" and kde still persist with Emulate3Buttons enabled, how can I disable this from kde? | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, using LVM ? | 18:16 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: No. | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | what method did you use , lordievader ? | 18:17 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Euhh none really, just partition each drive with a few partitions. And mounted them through fstab with UUID. | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | I tried that , they still kept changing , each drive sees the others with different /dev/sdXs | 18:20 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: The UUID or the /dev/> | 18:20 |
| lordievader | >=? | 18:20 |
| killown | I am on ubuntu and using kubuntu-desktop how can I dowgrade kde 4.9 for 4.8? | 18:38 |
| killown | kubuntu 4.9 is a total bug | 18:39 |
| killown | .0 releases isn't very reliable | 18:40 |
| Ze_Blob | really ? | 18:40 |
| killown | wrong choice kubuntu developers did when updated this for 4.9, too early for that | 18:41 |
| Ze_Blob | i have kde 4.9 on kubuntu 12.10 and so far so good, but i haven't used it a lot | 18:41 |
| killown | why not wait for 4.9.1 | 18:41 |
| Ze_Blob | where does it bug for instance ? | 18:41 |
| killown | thousand of bugs | 18:42 |
| killown | the more annoying of those eats cpu | 18:42 |
| killown | slowness in somethings | 18:42 |
| killown | very very slow to start after system boot | 18:42 |
| Ze_Blob | you are still on 12.04 with the backport ? | 18:42 |
| === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] | ||
| killown | at somethings* | 18:43 |
| killown | Ze_Blob, yes | 18:43 |
| Ze_Blob | 4.9 is standard on the 12.10 | 18:43 |
| Ze_Blob | it seems as fast as before | 18:43 |
| Ze_Blob | there a SSD on this laptop though | 18:44 |
| lordievader | 4.9 on 12.04 here is no problem, didn't notice the change at first though XD | 18:44 |
| killown | raid5 here | 18:44 |
| Ze_Blob | could nepomunk be a ressource hog ? | 18:44 |
| killown | I disabled nepomuk, this also eats cpu | 18:44 |
| Ze_Blob | have you opened a tasks manager to see which process make the trouble ? | 18:45 |
| killown | for a while dolphin | 18:45 |
| killown | but the biggest problem is Emulate3Buttons | 18:45 |
| killown | kde doesnt disable it | 18:45 |
| killown | useless feature nowdays, who here has a old mouse? | 18:46 |
| lordievader | killown: Did kde disable it in 4.8? | 18:46 |
| killown | didn't remember that | 18:46 |
| killown | but why this is enabled? | 18:46 |
| killown | xorg.conf > Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" | 18:47 |
| killown | unity respect this conf! | 18:47 |
| lordievader | killown: Hold on a moment, then it was no problem, at least not big enough to remember and now with 4.9 it is a big problem? | 18:47 |
| killown | lordievader, now I am trying to play CS GO | 18:47 |
| killown | and I need press the two mouse bottoms at same time | 18:48 |
| lordievader | killown: A game? | 18:48 |
| killown | YES | 18:48 |
| Ze_Blob | killown may be it can be configured in the KDE configuration ? | 18:48 |
| Ze_Blob | there are so many options | 18:48 |
| killown | Ze_Blob, didn't found | 18:48 |
| lordievader | killown: The Emulate3Buttons false thing didn't work? No seems a bit wierd to me. | 18:49 |
| killown | lordievader, "no" "false" doesnt works | 18:49 |
| Ze_Blob | killown: may be in "desktop configuration" of the current activity there are setting for the various buttons | 18:51 |
| killown | Ze_Blob, you mean system configuration? | 18:52 |
| Ze_Blob | nope | 18:52 |
| killown | where is this desktop configuration? | 18:52 |
| Ze_Blob | on the top left of the screen | 18:52 |
| Ze_Blob | configurate desktop view | 18:53 |
| Ze_Blob | but nah it shouldn't be that | 18:53 |
| killown | ok, now way to fix, need to get ride of kde for a while, solution is changing for unity | 18:53 |
| killown | I am losing time with kde 4.9, the way kubuntu developers is leading with kde is wrong, they don' t care much with stability so compiling kde by myself should be the right choice, thanks all. | 18:54 |
| lordievader | killown: Try Xfce, it still has a desktop. Sure it ain't so pretty as unity/gnome3 but it is still a desktop. | 18:55 |
| killown | lordievader, I would try ion3 | 18:55 |
| killown | gnome2 | 18:55 |
| lordievader | killown: What is ion3? | 18:55 |
| killown | tilling wm | 18:55 |
| lordievader | Hmm might be a good thing for my server, I'll look into it, thanks. | 18:57 |

| Num83rGuy | I removed pulse audio and now use ALSA because pulse was giving me lots of problems. I now don't have sound in Chrome. Does any one know how to fix this? | 19:38 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: For as far as I know, there can only be one instance that uses ALSA, that is why PA was invented. | 19:38 |
| Num83rGuy | Nothing else should be using ALSA save perhaps KDE itself. | 19:39 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: Hmm, too bad BluezKay isn't online, he usually know what to do with sound, I don't have experience with a Kubuntu install without PA. You have verified that ALSA works right? | 19:41 |
| dougl | I just finished doing a sudo tar -cvzf /home/username/archive.tgz /media/olddrives/ and now I try to open/read the file in midnight commander and it does not open... what do you use to backup folders in 12.04? | 19:41 |
| lordievader | dougl: I use rsync, to copy the data over to my backup server. I don't like all the compression stuff, gone wrong in the past. | 19:42 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: Yeah, everything I have tried works so far. Pulse was causing huge network loads, (broadcast to net work keeps getting turned on some how) chrome had the studdering sound issue with Chrome, crashes, hangs just horrible. | 19:44 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: PA shouldn't do all those things... Strange. | 19:45 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: Does PA work in a live-cd the way it should? | 19:46 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: I haven't used a live CD long enough to test that. This computer is basically my desktop, the home media server, Internet gateway,etc. | 19:48 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: Pulse usually works great for a while. My kids sometimes use this computer and as I am the only user they use my account. perhaps this is the root of the problem. LOL | 19:51 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: You could try testing in there, if it works reinstalling might be the fix. | 19:51 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: Might very well be the problem. | 19:52 |
| lordievader | :P | 19:52 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: Thank you I am going to re install pulse and see about fixing the studdering Chrome sound issue. a reinstall at this point is a no go, too many updates and added programs to download. Probably make an account for the kids and keep the pass to myself. I don't let them on mine much so I just was letting them use my account so they couldn't sneak on with out permission. | 19:56 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: They have their own computer but, it is quite old and doesn't play any games well. | 19:57 |
| Num83rGuy | lordievader: Hmm I might ask in the plain #ubuntu channal first. Again, thanks. | 19:58 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: I believe PA has its own channel even, you might find help there too. | 19:59 |
| lordievader | Num83rGuy: No problem and good luck, btw. | 19:59 |
| Eruaran | I've just updated Kubuntu 12.04 to KDE 4.9... Everything seems to work fine for a few minutes and then some desktop indicator of some kind appears... it has a little colour monitor on it with some bar thats going back and forth, my display starts flickering horribly and then applications just stop working properly, keyboard stops working and eventually everything just freezes. | 20:03 |
| Eruaran | Does anybody know what that thing is becuase its totally f***iing up my system | 20:04 |
| Eruaran | I have to hard reset | 20:04 |
| Eruaran | It could start up again any moment | 20:04 |
| Eruaran | I need help because this renders my computer unusable | 20:06 |
| Eruaran | I wish I never updated now | 20:06 |
| Eruaran | these kinds of updates are always a clusterf*** | 20:06 |
| Eruaran | either someone knows about it or I have to reinstall | 20:07 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Did you do a regular apt-get upgrade, or a apt-get dist-upgrade? | 20:07 |
| Eruaran | both | 20:07 |
| Eruaran | I upgraded everything then did a dist upgrade | 20:08 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Perhaps by now there is a bug fix. | 20:08 |
| Eruaran | everything is fully upgraded and up to date | 20:09 |
| Eruaran | everything seems to be working fine until that thing appears | 20:10 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1143034 Downgrading doesn't seems to be an option. | 20:10 |
| Eruaran | looks like a progress bar or a brightness indicator or something with a little monitor icon next to it | 20:11 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: What thing do you mean exactly? | 20:11 |
| Eruaran | I don't know what it is | 20:11 |
| Eruaran | but once that thing starts up its all downhill from there | 20:11 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Can you perhaps show a screenshot? | 20:11 |
| Eruaran | yes when it starts happening again | 20:11 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| Eruaran | its the screen brightness display indicator | 20:22 |
| Eruaran | if I try to change the brightness that's what comes up | 20:22 |
| Eruaran | its not working properly and causing absolute mayhem, rendering the whole system unusable | 20:23 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Perhaps it is the driver that is causing all this, what kind of GFX card do you have? | 20:23 |
| Eruaran | Intel graphics | 20:23 |
| Eruaran | just Intel integrated graphics HD3000 I think | 20:25 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Hmm I see, then that shouldn't be a problem, I think. | 20:26 |
| Eruaran | I never change the screen brightness, so I don't care if I can just disable it somehow | 20:26 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: You can throw the key binding out the window... | 20:26 |
| Eruaran | it happens even if I don't touch the brightness myself though | 20:28 |
| === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away | ||
| Eruaran | I'm turning off anything to do with screen brightness or display changes in power management | 20:29 |
| Eruaran | I think if KDE tries to even dim the display after a few minutes of inactivity this problem occurs | 20:29 |
| Eruaran | you cant even type | 20:30 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: No access to a tty? | 20:30 |
| Eruaran | even if I change to a CLI console (ctrl+alt+f3 for example) I cant type in a console | 20:30 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: So you have access to a tty, but in there you can't login? | 20:31 |
| Eruaran | thats right | 20:31 |
| Eruaran | because the keyboard becomes unusable | 20:31 |
| Eruaran | whatever is going wrong when the brightness indicator appears on screen is screwing up everything | 20:32 |
| Eruaran | the system heats up, you can hear the fan starting to hike up | 20:32 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: That is a real pain, is reinstalling an option? | 20:32 |
| Eruaran | (this is a notebook) | 20:32 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Yeah I guessed as much. | 20:32 |
| Eruaran | well I've turned off anything to do with changing the display in power management... so maybe that will work around it | 20:32 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Haven't seen a desktop yet where you could change the brightness. | 20:32 |
| Eruaran | yes :P | 20:33 |
| Eruaran | I never change the brightness so if this works I'll be happy | 20:33 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: I hope that it is a workaround. | 20:33 |
| Eruaran | yes, hopefully this will work | 20:34 |
| Eruaran | I'll submit a bug report | 20:35 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Good idea. | 20:35 |
| Eruaran | I have a feeling this problem is 'solved' for me | 20:35 |
| Eruaran | As long as the brightness indicator doesn't come into play everything is fine | 20:36 |
| Eruaran | very wierd and nasty bug whatever it is | 20:36 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: For a laptop the brightness settings are quite usefull. | 20:36 |
| Eruaran | yes | 20:36 |
| Eruaran | usually I leave the default settings | 20:36 |
| Eruaran | but in this case its causing an unusual problem | 20:37 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Hope there comes a bug fix for this soon. | 20:37 |
| Eruaran | I don't know if its a KDE thing or Kubuntu specific | 20:37 |
| Ze_Blob | what make lpc_ich exactly i have some error message in "dmesg" about it on a clevo sandy bridge based 12-10 kubunto | 20:41 |
| Ze_Blob | seems an intel related module | 20:42 |
| Eruaran | lordievader: thanks for your patience... I was having a mini freakout there for a while | 20:42 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Oh it quite all right, I've seen worse :P | 20:42 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Lock-ups are annoying... | 20:43 |
| Eruaran | yeah | 20:43 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: I don't remember who said it but: As long as we have computers, they will crash. | 20:44 |
| Eruaran | Someone from IBM probably :P | 20:45 |
| lordievader | Eruaran: Perhaps. | 20:45 |
