=== Alien is now known as alien [00:40] ok, anyone around with some bash skill? I have a dmg (mac file) that I created, and encrypted, and now need to open. It was just a folder encrypted for security [00:40] I also converted it on the mac to an IMG, but cannot seem to open that either. [00:40] any ideas? [00:41] dmg2img gives me 'dmg image is corrupted' which i doubt it is. [00:41] I think it can't handle it because it is encrypted. [01:04] Hi. Is there a way of choosing a different startup disk from within Kubuntu, i.e., if I want to boot from a live cd or from another partition or hard disk, can I choose it from within Kubuntu, without having to choose it from a boot manageror similar?

[15:37] i'm having trouble with kde and open gl i believe its a nvidia noveau problem [15:39] but ....? [15:40] i'm new to kuntu and not sure where to get the info i need to get right hareware driver [15:40] errr kubuntu [15:41] and hardware [15:41] Tenvarwen, kmenu>apps>system >additional drivers [15:43] hmm says no propietary drivers installed [15:44] err says not ine acually [15:44] Tenvarwen, does the Gui give any choices? [15:45] errrrr not in use [15:45] gnome or kde [15:46] the additioal driver app has no options listed [15:49] i can use nvidia's hardware scanner if i get jre installed but never did a manual plugin install before [15:52] Tenvarwen, which nvidia driver? [15:53] manual mean's using terminal to edit [15:54] haven't leraned how to find that out yet [15:54] Tenvarwen, the nvidia-current driver will most likely work with your card if the nouveau driver is giving you the effectsts you want etc [15:55] but my system is a compaq presario r3000 amd 32bit [15:56] kde gl drivers crash when logging in to kde [15:56] Tenvarwen, open a termninal , type or copy and pastr , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [15:56] then reboot [15:58] runing install [15:59] Hi. I installed Kubuntu 12.10 to a new harddisk. After all was working fine, I attached my old hard disk to my system again. My old system used full encryption using LVM and dm-crypt. When I login to KDE, I am asked for the password for the old harddisk, but after a short time it complains that it cannot mount the disk. I can see that under /dev/mapper/ the correct entries are present and a simple "mount /dev/mapper/foo /mnt/" lets [15:59] me mount the disk just fine. I have no idea where to add that kind of information, so that it's done automatically after login. Any ideas? [16:00] Tenvarwen, to find you graphics card , lspci | grtep VGA , in the terminal [16:00] oops , correctio . lspci | grep VGA [16:01] still running install [16:03] mihu, do you see the attached disk in dolphin "places"? [16:04] BluesKaj: Nope. As I said, it asks for the password and then succeeds setting up the mappings under /dev/mapper/. But it fails to do the resulting mount, perhaps because it does not know where to mount it. When I do a manual "mount /dev/mapper/foo /mnt" all is well. [16:04] mihu, you could do an fdissk -l to fine the /dev/sdX designation , the sudo blkid and add the disk to /etc/fstab [16:04] err fdisk -l [16:05] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M] (rev a3) [16:07] i like konsole better than terminal [16:07] Tenvarwen: Then you'll love yakuake. [16:08] konsole and terminal are the same [16:08] does it allow for click and paste? [16:09] terminal doesnt allow c/p [16:10] ok when I talk about the terminal I mean the "konsole" on the desktop , not the tty [16:10] Tenvarwen: Yakuake is a drop-down konsole (like the ~ drop down console in Quake). Use F12. [16:11] will try it later thks [16:14] BluesKaj it installed the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current should i relog in or do total reboot [16:15] reboot [16:15] k be back soon [16:15] You should run nvidia-xconfig first. [16:17] DarthFrog, it doesn't always help , the nvidia-xconfig file has been buggy lately , best to just reboot first [16:18] if it reboots successfully then then run nvidia-xconfig [16:18] in the tty [16:18] OK, but he'll not be running the new nvidia drivers upon the reboot. [16:19] he should be [16:19] ? how? If xorg.conf isn't properly written? [16:19] xorg-conf is no longer needed [16:20] in some cases ppl run si=uccessfully without it [16:20] For the proprietary nvidia driver? Really? That's news to me. [16:20] eer in most cases actaually [16:21] I am [16:23] !xorg.conf [16:23] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [16:24] it's still valid if you need it , just isn't installed by default anymore [16:26] So how do you get X to use nvidia instead of nouveau? [16:26] or nv? [16:27] installing nvidia-current is supposed to make nouveau the 2nd choice in the modprobe.d file afaik [16:27] I have nvidia-experimental installed. :-) I'll have to check that out. [16:28] but you may right about Tenvarwen , because he hasn't returned :( [16:29] Ah, it blacklists all other nv, nouveau & nvidia drivers, in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf. It turns nouveau off there, too. === mike is now known as Guest5298 [16:30] BluesKaj: Thanks for that, I learned something new. it's a good day when you learn something new. :-) [16:31] /msg NickServ identify mickray97 [16:32] well , the nvidia drivers are still on shaky ground in some ways , the xorg.conf file issue should be solved soon I hope [16:32] Guest5298: a) change your nickserv password, b) always do this in the server tab so this doesn't happen ;) [16:32] Guest5298, do that in the server textbox not here [16:32] ahh so oops [16:33] last time jockey still created a xorg.conf for the nvidia drivers so it's actually used [16:33] but if you just apt-get install nvidia-current you should still get VESA in the worst case [16:33] ok well where is the server text box [16:34] Guest5298: the window where the server welcome message is in etc. [16:34] the freenode tab [16:34] Where the tab says "Ubuntu IRC". At least, it does on my client (konversation). [16:36] brb . change drives [16:36] /msg NickServ identify mickray97 [16:37] bahh did it again [16:37] Tenvarwen: You did it again! :-) [16:37] Tenvarwen: Don't use mickray97 anymore, it's now compromised. [16:37] i loaded the channel before i finished typing [16:38] What IRC client are you using? [16:38] wouldn't let me chane till i logged in [16:38] err change [16:38] quassel [16:39] I'm using konversation and it automatically logs me into nickserv. [16:41] i think quassel does also i just haven't set i up yet [16:42] You now have motivation to do so. :-) [16:45] been trying arch-linux ...don't see what's so wonderful about it ...seems ok so far, but the chats are fuil of juvey-style conversation [16:45] BluesKaj: Sorry, I have been afk for a moment. Yes, I tried to add it to /etc/fstab and it works, but then I have to enter the password at boot time or select to skip. I like when it's done after login though, so I can cancel it with a click or simply ignore it. [16:45] just because one has to cli commands to istall it [16:45] BluesKaj: I've not tried Arch yet. [16:46] BluesKaj: It seems to be the flavour of the month, though. [16:47] mihu, there 's a command to get rid of that notification at the boot screen ..but Ican't recall what it is atm [16:47] BluesKaj: All the cool kids are using it. Which is reason enough for me to stick with Kubuntu. :-) [16:47] i haven't used irc in so long i forgot how to chane the pass [16:47] errr change [16:48] /msg Nickserv help [16:48] BluesKaj: Hm, I think I could add "noauto" option. Perhaps this help. [16:48] DarthFrog, the command line install obviously makes them feel superior somehow :) [16:49] BluesKaj: You install once in the life of a distro. But you use it daily. I don't care about the installer. [16:50] there's nothing special about arch , it's just bit different in it's package management and permissions , that's all [16:50] Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are niche distros for the cliques. But I'm far more impressed with what Canonical is doing with Ubuntu. [16:50] is nickserv down? [16:50] Tenvarwen: No. [16:51] nickserv help works here [16:51] keeps tellin me not available [16:52] /msg NickServ help [16:52] right? [16:52] The "/" has to be in the first character field. [16:52] Tenvarwen, help in #freenode [17:08] i think thats got it [17:08] well any way thks blueskaj no crashing now [17:10] Tenvarwen, good to hear , all desktop effects and OpenGL working ? [17:10] still says to get the right updated driver though [17:10] yes [17:11] errr the manufactures driver that is [17:11] your package manager , Tenvarwen? [17:12] says [17:12] yes [17:13] but when i go to nvidia whats me to install jre [17:13] turn the notifier off in the package manager , it's always behind the curve [17:13] but then i didn't know hardware model ready [17:14] ahh i don't really need then? [17:15] Tenvarwen, use sudo apt-get update:sudo apt-get upgrade, in the konsole , every few days [17:15] good morning all.. I've got kmail setup to sync with Gmail (imap) and it appears to do that but none of the email appears in my folders.. = [17:15] solutions? [17:20] so that will isure it looks for the latest udated driver etc? [17:21] err insure [17:24] ten the latest updated driver isn't always the "best" driver , altho it's an option ..those commands will update the the driver in use [17:24] Tenvarwen,^ [17:25] if my brother printer is network capable can i use mylinux client to print to it even though he runs micro$crap [17:25] Tenvarwen: Probably. [17:26] Tenvarwen: if he's shared it on the network, you can use the smb printing protocol. The "Add Printer" dialog will help you browse for it. [17:26] his printers are really good but he's afraid of linux [17:27] Afraid? What's he afraid of? Put a LiveCD in his system. :-) [17:28] took me two years to convice him to use firefox instead of ie [17:31] he just gave me this laptop with win8 on it immediately wiped aninstall ubuntu for the first time [17:32] usually use the mandrake [17:32] You went from RPM to DEB. :-) [17:32] RPM has gotten a lot better over the years. [17:33] oh wait its called mandriva now [17:33] whats the difference [17:34] err i mean between rpm and deb [17:34] Two different package managers. Debian based distros use DEB packages. Red Hat based distros use RPM (ie. RedHat Package Manager). [17:35] so deb uses tar.gz verses .RPM [17:36] You can convert one format into the other with the alien tool, with varying degrees of lack of success. [17:36] Tenvarwen: Not tar.gz, ar. And RPM uses cpio. [17:37] The archiver used is trivial. The metadata is significant. [17:38] so red hat packages are closer to windows type installers? [17:38] Nowadays, there's little technical reason to prefer one over the other, both are good. [17:39] Not really. They both do the same thing (RPM & DEB). [17:40] but unless you use the alien tool rpm won't work in kubuntu [17:40] My advice is not to use alien. Find the DEB package instead. [17:41] sound like the smart way to go [17:41] brb ebay is calling [17:45] just sold my tandy 1000:) [17:51] any good games or apps that i can use to test the opengl drivers? [17:52] glgears pops into mind [17:52] glxgears that is [17:52] app or game? [17:53] its an app. its probably installed. type glxgears. will give your framerate [17:53] is installed [17:54] its just a test app to see if basics are working. a starting point [17:54] run in konsole? [17:54] launch it there is fine [17:56] ran it how long does it take ? [17:57] it just gives you a FPS dispaly. nothing more. so you can kill it whenever. if your getting good FPS its an indicator things are working [17:58] where do i find the output [17:58] it should be a numerical count in the program itself. [17:58] sounds like you want a benchmark [17:59] maybe the phoronix test suite or something [17:59] i thinkk it includes opengl benchmarks [18:00] will get it [18:01] can i get it at muon? [18:02] Is it unusual for the 32bit live cd to take 5+ minutes to boot? [18:03] It took me that long just to get to the "Try" or "Install" screen.. === spawn57 is now known as spawn[dead] === tony_ is now known as tony__ [18:06] Scunizi, ive encountered that too. not sure why. thought it may have improved when i disconnected the tone of usb devices preboot [18:06] ton [18:07] phiscribe: I thought of that too.. not much there.. I"m actually using the cd and gddrescue to clone a failing windows drive.. [18:09] i just took it as inherently slow. [18:10] is .tar the copressed form of .ar ?
