| RafaleM | hey people, i just installed quassel irc, does anybody know if I can take the irc server[s] list from xchat irc and put them here? | 00:18 |
| RafaleM | I remember Xchat had a great list | 00:18 |
| TheLordOfTime | RafaleM, i'm not sure that list ports that easily between the two | 00:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | i havent tested, but... | 00:20 |
| RafaleM | maybe an import and an export option would be sufficient, but I think they haven't anyone | 00:21 |
| RafaleM | i'm on kubuntu now, trying to use only (or at least mostly) kde apps | 00:22 |
| RafaleM | maybe it would be easily only to install xchat | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | xchat can run on Kubuntu :P | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | not very pretty-ish but... | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | it can run :P | 00:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | (me, i do most stuff in command line anyways, so its irrelevant whether I'm on Kubuntu or what not... irssi ftw) | 00:24 |
| RafaleM | yeah, it can, i'm downloading it =D | 00:31 |
| RafaleM | oxygen-gtk theme fix it a little | 00:31 |
| RafaleM | you're like 80% of the time on the shell? | 00:32 |
| RafaleM | I wonder how is to be like that, should be cool (: | 00:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | i'm 95% of the time in a TTY :P | 00:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | not even in a GUI :P | 00:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | i dont have a GUI run at boot time :P | 00:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | i manually start my GUI of choice :P | 00:35 |
| RafaleM | o/ | 00:39 |
| RafaleM | what kind if things do you do? | 00:39 |
| RafaleM | i can't imagine living without a GUI...only citing the web with his e-mails and social networks...so difficult to access it all without a GUI | 00:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | mostly development work, right now working on the nginx web server and php5 backend to fix a ton of bugs :P | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | so i don't need a GUI for that | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | i didn't say i don't run without one though | 00:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | i just manually start the one of my choosing :P | 00:42 |
| RafaleM | got it...and I think your preferred one is KDE, right? (: | 00:47 |
| TheLordOfTime | depends on what i'm doing :PO | 00:47 |
| RafaleM | i'm studying computer science now, maybe one day I should only use tty too =p | 00:47 |
| * TheLordOfTime has several GUIs installed and available for use | 00:47 | |
| TheLordOfTime | well, TTy-only's not for everyone :P | 00:48 |
| RafaleM | cd, grep, vim, ls, gcc...I think these are the basic commands that I know and use within the shell sometimes | 00:49 |

| Kvaks | What's the concensus on Kubuntu 12.10? Good or bad release? | 10:45 |
| Kvaks | I have installed it on three PCs, two of which are experiencing really severe bugs. | 10:45 |
| Kvaks | 12.04 was smooth sailing in both cases. | 10:46 |
| Tm_T | Kvaks: this isn't really a poll channel (: | 10:46 |
| Kvaks | Who said anything about a poll? | 10:47 |
| Tm_T | your first question was about concensus, if you have technical questions (how to fix something) this is the right place (: | 10:48 |
| Kvaks | Yes, I was wondering if there existed an already established, common opinion on the release in the community. Is that really off topic? | 10:50 |

| urlwolf | yes | 11:06 |
| lordievader | urlwolf: Did you update the system and reboot? | 11:06 |
| urlwolf | yes | 11:06 |
| urlwolf | twice | 11:06 |

| afief | Hello, I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 and am wondering how stable the upgrade to 12.10 will be, considering that I have a Radeon 3200 (ATI RS780M/RS780MN) graphic card | 11:20 |
| lordievader | afief: I have the 3850, the fglrx driver in 12.10 didn't work for me, however the open-source driver works fine. So if you don't need to closed-source one the upgrade is fine. | 11:25 |
| afief | lordievader: How's the power management of the open source driver? I think I tried last year and my laptop simply overheated (with regular web surfing, nothing more) | 11:26 |
| lordievader | afief: I run the HD3850 in a desktop, so I wouldn't know. | 11:27 |
| afief | lordievader: thanks, guess I'll hold off on the upgrade until I get enough time to recover in case 12.10 doesn't work out | 11:28 |
| lordievader | afief: No problem, good luck in advance with the upgrade. | 11:28 |
| afief | lordievader: Thanks, if you don't mind, I am thinking of buying a desktop with a Radeon card, do you know where I can find which cards are supported by the OSS driver? | 11:30 |

| PasNox | Hi | 12:36 |
| PasNox | since i migrated to kubuntu ( fresh install) | 12:36 |
| PasNox | i can listen my hard disk doing something every 30/40 seconds | 12:37 |
| PasNox | very borind | 12:37 |
| PasNox | any hint ? | 12:37 |
| PasNox | it's not related to akonadi / file indexing | 12:37 |
| PasNox | as they are not activated | 12:37 |
| PasNox | i was not having this noise with previous install | 12:37 |
| PasNox | i migrated to kubuntu quantal* | 12:37 |
| lordievader | PasNox: Install iotop, that shows you what is reading/writing to your disk. | 12:38 |
| PasNox | lordievader: thanks, let try | 12:39 |
| PasNox | lordievader: i have about 25/75 ko/s writen | 12:41 |
| PasNox | but i can't read axactly which process is writing | 12:41 |
| PasNox | i simple typed | 12:41 |
| PasNox | sudo iotop | 12:41 |
| PasNox | any hint please ? | 12:41 |
| lordievader | PasNox: That commadn should show you what is writing, under the command field. | 12:42 |
| noaXess | PasNox: checkout the top command on konsole | 12:42 |
| PasNox | jbd2/sdXX | 12:42 |
| PasNox | looks to be the thing writing | 12:42 |
| noaXess | oh. lordievader already answered ;) | 12:43 |
| PasNox | and mysql is writing a lot too | 12:43 |
| PasNox | lordievader: the problem is that the command is not really visible / readble as it quickly appear / diseappear | 12:43 |
| PasNox | but i can distinguish mysql / jbd2/sdXXX | 12:43 |
| PasNox | what is jbd2 ? | 12:44 |
| noaXess | PasNox: what about stop mysql? sudo service mysql stop | 12:44 |
| PasNox | this will kill my started akonadi | 12:44 |
| PasNox | but let try | 12:44 |
| lordievader | noaXess: Top is more for cpu/ram, iotop is usefull if you just want to know disk usage. | 12:44 |
| noaXess | PasNox: just to check | 12:44 |
| noaXess | lordievader: saw ;) | 12:44 |
| lordievader | PasNox: you can use the p switch, for example iotop -p `pidof mysql` | 12:45 |
| PasNox | ok | 12:45 |
| PasNox | hm | 12:45 |
| PasNox | akonadictl stop | 12:45 |
| PasNox | does not stop my akonadi process :/ | 12:45 |
| PasNox | ah done | 12:45 |
| PasNox | was long xd | 12:45 |
| PasNox | lordievader: mysql stoppped | 12:47 |
| PasNox | but still the noise | 12:47 |
| PasNox | the programms writing are: jbd2/sdXXX / konversation / cupsd / chromium browser | 12:48 |
| PasNox | i stopped chromium | 12:48 |
| lordievader | PasNox: Same command, btw it could also simply be a noisy drive. It is stil a mechanical part of the machine. | 12:48 |
| PasNox | lordievader: i was using the same drive before | 12:49 |
| PasNox | and never have this thing | 12:49 |
| PasNox | the drive is being written every 15/30 seconds | 12:49 |
| lordievader | PasNox: Is it an old drive? | 12:49 |
| PasNox | looks not good for my disk life xD | 12:49 |
| PasNox | lordievader: begin of the year | 12:49 |
| lordievader | PasNox: That is odd, perhaps it has slightly moved causing something in the case to resonate? | 12:50 |
| PasNox | hm i think no, i do not touched it phisically | 12:50 |
| PasNox | but it could be a point to check | 12:50 |
| PasNox | lordievader: btw any clue on what is jbd2 thing ? | 12:51 |
| PasNox | looks to be journalising for my ext4 partitions ? | 12:51 |
| PasNox | ah | 12:51 |
| PasNox | one thing i changed | 12:51 |
| PasNox | before i was ext3 only | 12:51 |
| FloodBotK1 | PasNox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:51 |
| PasNox | now all partitiosn are ext4 | 12:51 |
| lordievader | PasNox: That is what I think, however I do not know. Try google. | 12:51 |
| PasNox | ok | 12:52 |
| PasNox | lordievader: i stoppped cupsd service now noise diseappear xD | 12:55 |
| lordievader | PasNox: Did you mistake the origin of the sound? | 12:57 |
| PasNox | lordievader: yes it's cupsd | 12:58 |
| PasNox | if i stop | 12:58 |
| PasNox | no noise | 12:58 |
| PasNox | if i start | 12:58 |
| PasNox | noise is back | 12:58 |
| FloodBotK1 | PasNox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:59 |
| PasNox | :) | 13:01 |
| lordievader | PasNox: What I mean is, cups is printing, is the noise coming from a printer? Also take heed of the FloodBotK1. | 13:02 |
| PasNox | lordievader: no, the printer is not printing and no job is active. looks like the cupds is performing some check regulary and write something to disk. maybei n a log file | 13:03 |
| lordievader | PasNox: Perhaps a good idea to watch the cups log, when the daemon is running ofcourse. | 13:03 |
| PasNox | let try | 13:04 |
| PasNox | lordievader: effectively in the access_log there is constantly changing stuff | 13:05 |
| PasNox | lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1309534 | 13:05 |
| lordievader | PasNox: I know too little about cups to say anything effective. | 13:06 |
| PasNox | no prroblem. u were already good help. | 13:07 |
| PasNox | thanks. | 13:07 |

| m1cha | Can anyone help me with this problem? | 14:16 |
| urlwolf | just upgraded to 2.10 using sudo do-release-upgrade | 14:19 |
| urlwolf | got a blue screen asking if I wanted to kill X to replace kdm | 14:19 |
| urlwolf | then rebooted | 14:19 |
| urlwolf | x is gone for good | 14:19 |
| urlwolf | the progress bar goes on forever | 14:19 |
| urlwolf | dropping on the TTY and looking at /var/log now | 14:20 |
| urlwolf | any idea what I could do next? | 14:20 |
| m1cha | you should loock at dmesg to see if it was a panic or something rebooted. But I don't know if "old" dmesg's are logged anywhere | 14:21 |
| urlwolf | ah | 14:22 |
| urlwolf | I found something | 14:22 |
| yofel | for starters look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 14:22 |
| urlwolf | looks like killing X interrupted the upgrade | 14:22 |
| urlwolf | so I had to do dpkg -a something | 14:23 |
| urlwolf | and it seems to be continuing the upgrade | 14:23 |
| urlwolf | but for non-techies, their system die there | 14:23 |
| yofel | If I remember the process right, it shouldn't have asked you to kill X in the first place :( | 14:24 |
| urlwolf | that blue screen about kdm shouldn't be there if it breaks the upgrade process :) | 14:24 |

| yofel | do what it wants to do, and after that make sure kubuntu-desktop is still installed | 14:25 |

| urlwolf | so how do I bring X up? | 14:26 |
| yofel | 'sudo service kdm start' once it's fixed | 14:27 |
| urlwolf | no service kdm restart, I take :( | 14:27 |
| m1cha | Monika: If noone has a idea you could diff the profiles. A dirty why to search for problems :P | 14:27 |
| urlwolf | there's no kdm anymore | 14:27 |
| urlwolf | now it's lightdm | 14:27 |
| m1cha | *why=way | 14:27 |
| yofel | then use lightdm | 14:27 |
| Monika | Which file is the profile file? | 14:27 |
| urlwolf | which initiated this clusterfuck | 14:27 |
| m1cha | Monika: all file sunder /home/USERNAME I don't know if there are more files | 14:28 |
| m1cha | but you can exlude things like documents,downods,... | 14:28 |
| m1cha | mostly the hidden files(which starts with a point) are interesting | 14:29 |
| urlwolf | so I have to do this again on another kubuntu partition (this one was the test partition; because we all know how life is, I keep a test partition) | 14:29 |
| urlwolf | when I see the blue screen asking me something about kdm, what do I say? | 14:30 |
| m1cha | urlwolf: In my opinion an USBHDD or USB-Stick is much more practical to test linux-based operating systems :) | 14:31 |
| === Kvakz is now known as Kvaks | ||
| urlwolf | m1cha: so what's the workaround to this kdm fuckup? | 14:31 |
| urlwolf | Say 'no'? | 14:31 |
| Monika | So there is no known bug with this? | 14:31 |
| urlwolf | maybe I don't get lightdm then | 14:31 |
| yofel | urlwolf: do say no I would say. but lightdm is the official default in 12.10 | 14:32 |
| urlwolf | why is this blue screen even there? | 14:32 |
| urlwolf | It's going to lose many users | 14:33 |

| m1cha | ManDay: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218335 | 14:50 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 218335 in general "Nepomuk won't index the content of OpenDocument (.odt, .odp, .ods) files" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 14:50 |
| ManDay | "Fixed"... o_O | 14:50 |
| ManDay | Let me try again | 14:51 |
| kroson | Is anybody having the following issue: kbluetooth can't disable bluetooth ? | 14:51 |
| ManDay | Can I force Nepomuk to reindex a folder? | 14:52 |
| m1cha | kroson: I dont get an error message, it just cant be disabled | 14:52 |
| m1cha | didnt recognize that before | 14:52 |
| kroson | m1cha: yes, i don't have errors too, just can't disable. So no fix for that yet? | 14:52 |
| m1cha | dont know, just search on bugtracker(my internet is currently very slow, so I just can chat, sry) | 14:53 |
| m1cha | does anyone use skype on kubuntu 12.10? | 14:56 |
| Lynoure | m1cha: no, but considering upgrading, so curious about what kind of problem you are having | 14:57 |
| em | Im concerned that for the first time i started seeing this after I do "sudo aptitude update" ----- W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 14:57 |
| m1cha | it's not a problem, it's a visual mystery :P If I get a message I can see how something in the system tray comes up for ~100ms and directly goes away. don't know what this is | 14:58 |
| yofel | em: can happen if you have the quantal archive enabled on precise, they changed the archive key there | 14:58 |
| em | one thing I did between then and now is that I added a key (so i could install spotify) using this command: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59 | 14:58 |
| ManDay | Does anyone know how to make Nepomuk re-index (a specific folder, perhaps)? | 14:58 |
| em | yofel: i wonder how that could have happened. Any idea how to fix that? | 14:59 |
| m1cha | ManDay: http://trueg.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/manually-forcing-the-re-indexing-of-folders-is-easy/ google is great xd | 15:00 |
| yofel | em: hm, you could try to add the archive key again. Although I'm not sure if that helps with BADSIG... | 15:00 |
| ManDay | m1cha: I already read that | 15:00 |
| m1cha | ManDay: it doesnt work? | 15:00 |
| ManDay | It's from late 2011, I was hoping there was a more "official" way to do it these days | 15:01 |
| ManDay | Somewhere in Dolphin, integrated, perhaps | 15:01 |
| ManDay | <- Doesn't quite understand the connection between "Strigi" and "Nepomuk", anyway | 15:02 |

| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, usually the onboard soundcard sends the sounds to the hdmi output. Do you have another soundcard installed ? | 15:23 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: I'm using the built-in sound card for my comptuer speakers, and the vid card has it's sound chip for the HDMI. I do use the HDMI connected to my TV on occasion and have found an application that lets me switch sound for applications, but I don't see anything for system sounds, like errors or the startup jingle. | 15:25 |
| Monika | Walzmyn: I asked my question further up | 15:28 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: i think i may have just found it, in system settings for notifications. Seems like I may have been poking around in there when I was trying to get sound to the TV. | 15:30 |
| Walzmyn | I'll have to get an error or reboot to figure out if I fixed it :) | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, yeah , I find the system sounds annoying so I don't use them | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | no reboot needed if you are using notifications sounds | 15:32 |
| m1cha | does lightdm support FN+RIGHT/LEFT for setting speaker volume? I hate it when I forgot to turn off volume and startup sound plays at full volume at university :P | 15:35 |

| m1cha | BlueKajaccording to strings in kernel-module it's 304.43 | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | m1cha, ok 2 different gpus in optimus , one low level for battery saving and the other higher level for demanding graphics, nice to know for those who have such a setup | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | m1cha, but you still use bumblebee , correct ? | 16:37 |
| ManDay | Where can I file a bug for Kubuntu?! | 16:40 |

| BluesKaj | ok , m1cha , good to know that "optimus" works with bumblebee again , there were ppl who had major issues with optimus recently | 16:53 |
| m1cha | my laptop dont has optimus according to description. But my laptop(Acer travelmate 8572tg) was the first which ever had switchable graphics, so maybe its just an old version of optimus, but I cant use the optimus driver for windows(I need the acer version) | 16:55 |

| OerHeks | phoenix_firebrd, no, kernel 3.6.3 is not currently used. | 17:12 |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: the post says that it is a patch that causes the problem was backported to 3.4 | 17:13 |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: and to 3.5 also | 17:14 |
| OerHeks | where did you read that ? | 17:15 |
| * OerHeks reads "the serious bug, which first appeared within the Linux 3.6.2 kernel " | 17:15 | |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: Right now I am in a freshly installed kubuntu 12.10, I had to do this because of a severe dataloss | 17:15 |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: The home directory was getting corrupted for every boot, After sometime, the ext4 was very corrupt, I had to reinstall the OS | 17:18 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: did the recent ext4 serious bug affect kubuntu 12.10? and was the experimental parts of ext4 was enabled in the 12.10 betas? | 17:19 |
| yofel | phoenix_firebrd: I don't know what experimental parts you mean, but it does seem like 3.5 is affected | 17:22 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: I last a kubuntu 12.10 beta install earlier and now an ubuntu 12.10 install, I fear I may loose my Current fresh Install of Kubuntu , /home contains some person datas, should i use ntfs until a fix for safety? | 17:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: *lost | 17:25 |
| yofel | use ext3? | 17:25 |
| yofel | or don't reboot that often | 17:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: ext4 to ext3 convertion ok? | 17:26 |
| yofel | not really, I mean if you make a fresh partition (as you would have to do for ntfs anyway) | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | ext4 has been stable as a rock since it's release on my setup | 17:27 |
| dougl | same | 17:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: I already have a ntfs one. I will try by best, not to reboot, when can we expect a patch? | 17:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: I asume to don't reboot often | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, you do too much mixing and matching without regard to the effects on your system , or so it seems to me :) | 17:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: Sorry, i couldn't understand | 17:30 |
| m1cha | I can login as guest(via LightDM) even though I disabled guest-login | 17:30 |

| yofel | phoenix_firebrd: reading backlog of #ubuntu-kernel, it seems like the bug is introduced in 3.5.7 (ubuntu 3.5.0-18) which was rejected | 17:32 |

| hays | thx | 18:27 |
| rork | hays, lordievader: the latter two images are the kernel, I guess if it breaks after an update you're in pretty big trouble, hence it's kept back unless you specify the dist-upgrade | 18:28 |

| mime_1111 | doesnty | 19:15 |
| mime_1111 | doesnt | 19:15 |
| roney | mime_1111: Hum... it's probably because the application is not recognizing the font name. | 19:16 |
| roney | mime_1111: I never used this feature before. | 19:16 |
| mime_1111 | where do u think is the folder where that app are supose to get the font from? thnx | 19:17 |
| mime_1111 | maybe if i plce it there... | 19:17 |
| roney | mime_1111: You can also install a tool called qt-config. | 19:19 |
| mime_1111 | ill take a look, thank u for all ur attention | 19:19 |
| mime_1111 | cya all | 19:19 |
| roney | mime_1111: This way you can change the appearance of your applications without typing these option everytime. | 19:19 |
| mime_1111 | but may that app make an specific one for each? | 19:20 |
| mime_1111 | thats the point | 19:20 |
| roney | I don't think so. It probably applies the same schema for every app. | 19:21 |
| mime_1111 | well, it would be great! thanks u anyway, and cya | 19:21 |
| roney | Do you have access to the app's source code? | 19:21 |
| === jan is now known as Guest18495 | ||
| === Guest18495 is now known as Janneman | ||
| mime_1111 | ok, u mean to enter the cfg or watever name is and where the font is , change it | 19:21 |
| mime_1111 | ?¿?¿ | 19:22 |
| mime_1111 | well, im using linux as admin, i supose it is a yes | 19:22 |
| roney | You would edit the main.cpp file and type some C++ code then recompile the app. | 19:22 |
| roney | But you're not a developer, I presume. | 19:23 |
| mime_1111 | nah, im a craky fvwm-crystaler | 19:23 |
| mime_1111 | thats too, but with copy paste or looking at it wont harm me :) | 19:23 |
| mime_1111 | well, i thought it was easy as enter the file, select the font in the text file, and chage it, i will look it, always we can learn | 19:25 |
| mime_1111 | cya | 19:25 |
| mime_1111 | thanks 4 ur tiiimeee!!! | 19:25 |

| lordievader | rlmccormick: Do you mean the upgrade to 12.10 does not show up in Muon? | 20:09 |
| rlmccormick | lord: i ran "Update Manager" and installed all available updates. now when i do a lsb_release -a i see version 12.04 still. | 20:10 |
| lordievader | rlmccormick: Did you reboot after teh update? | 20:10 |
| rlmccormick | is that the exp | 20:10 |
| rlmccormick | i did | 20:10 |
| lordievader | rlmccormick: Hmm there was someone in here earlier with the same problem, try running from a terminal: sudo do-release-upgrade | 20:11 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest52612 | ||
| rlmccormick | will do, thanks | 20:11 |
| rlmccormick | doing sudo do-release-upgrade tells me "No new release found" | 20:12 |
| rlmccormick | maybe i will reboot to be sure | 20:13 |
| hays | I did do-upgrade -d and got this: "The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process." | 20:21 |
| hays | Where can I see the errors to find out if they are serious? | 20:21 |
| lordievader | hays: It usually lists the errors above the message you gave. | 20:22 |
| hays | AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd at line 24: Invalid capability block_suspend. | 20:22 |
| hays | ooh and a bunch of xorg errors | 20:23 |
| lordievader | hays: Try to fix the first issue first, you might have a dependecy failure. | 20:25 |
| hays | lordievader: the errors seemed not-serious enough that a reboot first seemed sensible | 20:29 |
| hays | Hmm.. Ctrl-Alt-F1 isn't giving me console | 20:30 |
| hays | lordie http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=TpSRMp4r any thoughts? | 20:36 |
| hays | should i force it? | 20:37 |
| lordievader | hays: Could you use my full nick (use autocomplete), did you update your sources? | 20:37 |
| hays | I ran the do-upgrade thing | 20:38 |
| lordievader | hays: Yes and now you are trying apt-get -f install, but did you prepend it with apt-get update? | 20:38 |
| hays | I've not yet done the -f install | 20:39 |
| hays | I did do apt-get update | 20:39 |
| hays | then apt-get upgrade gave me that list of errors | 20:39 |
| lordievader | hays: Ah well, try that first. | 20:39 |
| hays | holy mother of god that's a lot of packages | 20:40 |
| lordievader | hays: Lots of packages to be removed, or installed? | 20:41 |
| hays | a bunch installed, a bunch held back | 20:41 |
| hays | I'm guessing there will be a dist-upgrade in my future after this is done | 20:41 |
| lordievader | hays: That is a good procedure. | 20:42 |
| hays | i am doing this over ssh because i can't seem to bring up a console | 20:42 |
| hays | which i would think that ctrl-alt-f1 would do | 20:43 |
| matt___ | Can anyone help me sort out my partitions? Installed from inside windows, now want to remove everything associated with windows and use it all for linux. | 20:43 |
| lordievader | matt___: Take a look at gparted, the gnome-partition editor. | 20:45 |
| hays | its been a while doesnt the kubuntu installer guide you through all this | 20:46 |
| lordievader | hays: Yes it does but I think matt___ is past that stage already. | 20:46 |
| hays | lordievader: do you happen to know how to get a console from the xorg boot screen? (I think that's where I am ) | 20:47 |
| lordievader | hays: You have X running but not KDM? Just to get things straight. | 20:48 |
| matt___ | Well past. I'm in gparted, but trying to sort out the partitions. there are 4. There is a fat32 and and NTFS (Mount point "/host") | 20:48 |
| hays | Well I am not sure exactly. I saw a load screen that looked a lot like it would have been kdm but then it all went blank | 20:49 |
| lordievader | matt___: I'd say mount them check if there is anything important on there and if not format. | 20:49 |
| hays | lordievader: there was as debian space boot screen, then a big pale blue kde loader, then it went blank with what seemed like an attempt to change screen mode | 20:49 |
| lordievader | matt___: It is allways a good idea to make a backup before you start such an operartion. | 20:50 |
| lordievader | hays: Isn't it a gfx driver failing? | 20:50 |
| hays | yeah it very well could be | 20:50 |
| lordievader | hays: Let me put it differently can you switch to tty1? | 20:50 |
| hays | so i am tying to get to a console | 20:50 |
| hays | lordievader: cntrl-alt-F1 is ineffective | 20:51 |
| matt___ | Is there a simple way to find which part linux is on? (sda1 or sda2) | 20:51 |
| hays | your fstab probably would say and also your partition type would be linux i believe | 20:51 |
| lordievader | hays: Then it is probably a corrupt gfx driver, or at least it has been my experience that when switching sessions fails it is usualy the gfx driver. | 20:51 |
| hays | lordievader: how would i boot into text mode then | 20:52 |
| lordievader | matt___: Yes what hays, says check /etc/fstab the one mounted in / is your root. | 20:52 |
| lordievader | hays: Btw it's ext3/4 | 20:52 |
| hays | matt___: there is also probably a swap partition | 20:52 |
| hays | lordievader: my knowledge is old. it used to be just "linux" | 20:53 |
| hays | and then there was "linux swap" | 20:53 |
| lordievader | hays: Ingrub you need to select the recovery mode. | 20:53 |
| hays | ok | 20:53 |
| lordievader | hays: Now it is simply swap. | 20:53 |
| mysticalzero | just switched over to kde recently. can you share a window across two activities? been searching for a quite a while but to no avail. for example, i would like chrome to be shared across two activities. | 20:54 |
| lordievader | mysticalzero: Rightclick the window border -> activities | 20:55 |
| mysticalzero | lordievader: ah.. nice. how could i missed that. thanks : ) | 20:55 |
| lordievader | mysticalzero: No problem :) | 20:56 |
| matt___ | /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / ext4 loop,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 20:56 |
| matt___ | Is that what I'm looking for? | 20:56 |
| lordievader | matt___: Did you install Kubuntu using wubi? | 20:57 |
| hays | i am not sure this upgrade process is ever going to end. :) | 20:58 |
| lordievader | matt___: On my box it looks like this, it uses a UUID instead of /dev/sdXY: UUID=961df41f-64ea-4bfd-a1e7-141d24e42b9a / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 20:58 |
| hays | apt is teasing me by walking through the alphabet like 4 times | 21:00 |
| === anderson is now known as Guest79141 | ||
| matt_ | Installed from wubi, if that changes anything I need to do to figure this thing out... | 21:10 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest53079 | ||
| lordievader | Guest53079: DO NOT REMOVE WINDOWS PARTITIONS. | 21:18 |
| lordievader | Guest53079: Wubi has some dirty things going and puts the linux stuff on the ntfs partition of Windows, so in other words if you remove that, you remove your linux install. | 21:19 |
| Obsidian1723 | why not just reformat and run Linux only? Unless you game or have some need for which Windows is required... | 21:20 |
| Guest53079 | Obsidian, what I'm trying for. Want the whole system one format/partition/OS, and linux won... just not sure how to do it now. | 21:21 |
| lordievader | Guest53079: You need to reinstall the system. During the install you can select the option to use the whole disk. Be sure to back your files up, this action formats the whole disk. | 21:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | Backup your personal data, nuke and pave, reinstall. | 21:22 |
| Guest53079 | How hard to do that from a USB key? Netbook with no optical drive. | 21:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | Could backup to a networked hard drive perhaps? | 21:23 |
| Obsidian1723 | or get an external hard drive to backup to. | 21:23 |

| PasNox_ | lordievader: Hi again | 21:24 |
| PasNox_ | i'm still having the jbd2 writing to my hard disk and the harddisk never spindown, so i googled a bit, looks like it's a problem of long date with ext4 / jbd2 :/ | 21:25 |
| lordievader | PasNox_: You had solved your noise issue, haven't you? | 21:26 |
| PasNox_ | i was thinking, but it seem not. it write less but it's still there | 21:26 |
| oneadvent | is anyone else disappointed with lightdm? I just want to install a theme. And where is dual monitor support. This seems unfinished | 21:30 |
| lordievader | oneadvent: You can allways revert back to KDM. | 21:33 |
| oneadvent | i might have to | 21:34 |
| oneadvent | i mean can't even easily change the font color | 21:34 |
| hays | lordievader: apt-get seems to have gotten stuck.. and now there is a lock on the file and the process is still running | 21:34 |
| oneadvent | (like if you pick a dark background) | 21:34 |
| hays | lordievader: how should I recover? | 21:34 |

| koftes | hi | 21:42 |
| koftes | Changing default applications in KDE can be done through "Default Applications - KDE Control Module". Does anyone where the file that stores these settings is? I read somewhere that it's ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals but it turns out that's incorrect. | 21:47 |
| shadeslayer | koftes:mm | 21:51 |
| shadeslayer | I can't seem to remember wher | 21:51 |
| shadeslayer | maybe try .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 21:51 |
| shadeslayer | not sure however | 21:52 |
| koftes | shadeslayer: I'll check that | 21:52 |
| shadeslayer | have to go, night | 21:53 |
| koftes | It's not that by the way. That seems to control file associations. | 21:53 |
| koftes | Thanks, anyway. | 21:54 |
