[17:29] odo2063: Hey [17:31] yesterday i update from 11.10 over 12.04 to 12.10, but now i can't control my backlight brightness on my lenovo s205(AMD) anymore(specialkeys for sound do work). and i can control brightness at "boottime" [17:31] does somebody has an idea? [17:32] odo2063: Check if the gfx driver is properly installed. [17:32] checked/installed twice with jockey [17:33] strange...that seems not right... [17:33] odo2063: Is the driver also in use? [17:35] lets get back to the driver install. there are to points "ATI Fire GL" and "Video driver for the AMD...". and i installed the second, but it tells me that i have installed the first one [17:35] Evening [17:35] Hey disharmonic [17:36] hi [17:36] odo2063: Does it give more information? (Fglrx/radeon?) [17:37] no [17:37] fglrx is loaded [17:38] and i have "dirct rendering" and cubes :-) [17:39] Going to take windows of my Harddrive.. But i have 12.10 setup the way i want it with qtcurve styles and themes and all that.. What do i need to my a livecd of my system.. Or back all that up so i dont loose it ? [17:40] Muon doesnt auto-request kdesu? [17:40] odo2063: So to get things straight, amdcccle does not complain... Can you change the brightness thorugh the powersettings in the System Settings program? [17:40] MichaelP: How did you install (K)ubuntu? [17:40] Live usb [17:41] lordievader, there is no amdccle [17:43] odo2063: Ahh that probably explains it :), strange though that the jockey reports that it is installed. Try reinstalling the fglrx driver. [17:43] normaly amdccle is start menu setting... amd catalyst control center [17:44] MichaelP: Ok, then it should suffice to simply remove the Windows partition and update the Grub config. However it is allways a good idea to back up sensitive data before doing a major hard-disk operation. [17:44] lordievader, doing so with synaptic [17:44] odo2063: Oh btw, can the terminal not find amdcccle? Or isn't it in the startmenu? [17:45] odo2063: Jockey is a better option, imo. [17:45] Jockey is unreliable [17:45] disharmonic: Not to me... [17:46] Jockey-text anyhow. [17:46] lordievader, startmenu has it [17:46] lordievader, but powersettings does nothing [17:46] odo2063: Hold on whay do you mean? Is the Amd control center in the start menu? [17:47] odo2063, run glxinfo | grep OpenGL to make sure the driver is loaded , it shows up beside "OpenGL version string" [17:47] lordievader, well my experience was so positive i now d/l the driver from AMD and generate debs with the buildpkg option ;) [17:47] lordievader, OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [17:48] disharmonic: The downside of a manual install is that it usually breaks when you update the kernel, well that's my experience. [17:48] lordievader, sence windows 7 and 8 makes that little boot partition.. does linux boot record go to that or mbr [17:49] odo2063, the OpenGL version string, not vendor [17:49] OpenGL version string: 4.2.11903 Compatibility Profile Context [17:50] MichaelP: Hmm good question, I must say I do not know. I suspect Grub is still in the mbr, since that is the section the bios reads when bootstrapping to OS. [17:50] fwiw... if you type inxi -Gx that information as well as video driver etc is displayed [17:51] Or fglrxinfo, in this case. [17:51] lordievader, yeah. I always reinstall if the kernel gets updated, just to be sure. [17:52] inxi -Gx [17:52] disharmonic: I grew tired of that, so I started using the jockey, works fine for me. [17:52] odo2063: in terminal [17:52] Regarding the Muon question. Shouldn't Muon ask for priviliges when clicking on install rather than displaying an error? [17:52] yes [17:52] mandoguit, command not found [17:53] does ubuntu have anything to make livecd of the installed system... Like in PcLinuxOS when i used that years ago... i used MkLivecd [17:53] odo2063: hmmm.....might have to install it then. nice little utility to have on hand as it displays tons of info regarding ones system [17:54] i found what im looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [17:54] this will work out easily you can do a chroot to the live cd environment alter your linux and make it ready again [17:55] LiveCDCustomization [17:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566720/ <-- fglrxinfo [17:57] odo2063: http://code.google.com/p/inxi/ seems it's not included in the default k/ubuntu installs as it is in other distro's. worth a look at imho [17:57] mandoguit, maybe not today ;-) [17:58] odo2063: Can you paste bin the output of: sudo jockey-text -l [18:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566720/ [18:00] kmod:fglrx - ATI Fire GL (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) [18:01] lordievader, i never managed to enable the updates stream personally. I've seen others with the same issue. It does work as it should for many ppl though [18:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1566733/ [18:01] So for LiveCDCustomization i need to have the kubuntu iso i take it... Sence it says choose ISO image that will be used for the base... im installed kubuntu... but i have ubuntu iso in my usb harddrive... or should i redown kubuntu iso? [18:02] disharmonic: Had many issues with that too, but in 12.10 it worked to my surprise. [18:02] odo2063, i have an Ati card; what i do after every installation of ubuntu; i install fglrx through: sudo apt-get install fglrx [18:02] * odo2063 is back in 5min [18:02] MichaelP: Why do you want to make a LiveCd? [18:02] lordievader, well i'm on 12.04 ;) [18:02] MichaelP, mint has actual a nice tool in its repo [18:03] odo2063: Hmm seems the fglrx driver is installed, however I'd try to reinstall the driver through the jockey. [18:03] To have a compleate backup of my system [18:03] disharmonic: I had the same problem in 12.04. [18:04] odo2063, whats in there repo [18:04] MichaelP: A better way would be to get an external drive, or burn the files to a dvd. [18:06] lordievader, what my ./kde/share/apps [18:08] MichaelP: I'd say /home, this contains all the user's files and user's config files. And perhaps a few things out of /etc (system-wide config files). [18:08] hi all [18:08] Hey mohamare [18:09] سلام [18:09] فارس هست؟ [18:10] mohamare: This is an english chat-room, could you speak english?

[18:17] odo2063: I take it, it didn't work? [18:17] lordievader, exactly [18:20] odo2063: Hmm, bummer. You could try a manual install... Means: removing the driver through the jockey. Downloading the driver from AMD and manually installing that one. [18:22] lordievader, yeah may...u know...it's not an option for me ;-) (not that i not can) [18:23] odo2063: What do you mean? Why not? [18:24] no parsian in this room? [18:24] lordievader, i just take the new intall then... [18:24] odo2063: Then you will be left with the radeon driver... [18:24] Would be the same if you simply removed the fglrx driver, radeon is fallback.. should be in any case. [18:24] lordievader, y? [18:25] odo2063: But why is a manual install no option? [18:26] lordievader, i just dont want to! :-) [18:27] odo2063: Well you could try and see if the radeon driver supports the backlight brightness control. I know it never did for me, but perhaps for your card it does. === adriano is now known as Guest38497 [18:51] lordievader, since when are those things even remotely related? [19:04] invariant: Brightness control and gfx drivers you mean? [19:04] lordievader, yes [19:05] lordievader, because I haven't ever seen a device where they are related. [19:05] invariant: I had the same problem once with my laptop, the fix was installing the gfx driver. [19:06] lordievader, very unlikely. [19:06] lordievader, you might think that was the solution. [19:06] lordievader, backlights are not controlled by graphics cards. [19:06] invariant: Perhaps, it seemed so at the time. [19:07] invariant: I see, then do you have a suggestion for odo2063 how he can fix his problem? [19:08] lordievader, check for platform support in the linux kernel for his device. [19:09] lordievader, if there is no such support, it's never going to work. [19:09] lordievader, (unless he wants to reverse-engineer the windows drivers) [19:09] lordievader, i had the idea that it might be something with the groups [19:09] lordievader, my answer is the only correct answer. [19:10] This is why you first check whether your hardware is supported with platform drivers before buying it. [19:10] Supported hardware is more expensive, but will save you a ton of headaches. [19:11] odo2063: Has the brightness control worked before? [19:12] lordievader, in 11.10 yes [19:12] and with with any 12.10 live-image [19:16] odo2063: Since when did it stop working? After an update or something? [19:17] exactly. i did yesterday the big run from 11.10 over 12.04 to 12.10 [19:18] odo2063: Hmm perhaps simply reinstalling 12.10 is the easiest... [19:18] :-) i think i said something like that :-P [19:19] odo2063: Hehe :) === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest6026 === Pisa is now known as Vito [20:05] any web page on how to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 without reinstalling? thanks [20:06] !upgrade [20:06] For upgrading instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades/Kubuntu [20:06] mandoguit, ^ [20:07] BluesKaj: thanks :) [20:07] Greetings all, I have Kubuntu 12.10 installed on a computer that is being donated for a public access area for students. I'd like to let them login with Guest, but I want them to have a preset desktop with widgets and such ready to go. Can I do this? [20:08] designbybeck: yes you can === sysadmin is now known as Guest3568 [20:09] EagleScreen: might you point me in the directoin to set that up? I already have the main login set the way I want with widgets and background, how do I make this the default for the Guest everytime someone logs in [20:10] KDE does look sweet. Provided you take the time to set it up. Most distros have it looking really bland though [20:11] designbybeck: making script that changes configuration on the fly, and make a plasma restart, OR using a different account than guest and using it as the guest account (i think this method is easier) [20:12] hmmm, so i can make a "randomuser" and set everything up on that "randomuser" account, and then make it a member of "guest"? EagleScreen is that how? [20:14] designbybeck: why is your main reason to use guest account? autoremove of all files? [20:14] for the most part EagleScreen [20:16] designbybeck: I think the easiest way is: 1) create a normal user, 2) use nodm instead if kdm (or lightdm, 3) clear that user password if you want, 4) make some script which clear previous sessions files at login [20:16] EagleScreen: It is for mainly physics and computer science students. I want them to be able to use all the software I have installed on it === nmmm is now known as nmmm-away [20:17] Hmm, how do i set up virtual desktops? It used to be under the Desktop tab iirc, but i don't see that one anymore [20:18] designbybeck: if you use nodm instead of lightdm, users can login with no password, and custom desktop configuration done by you will be persistent [20:18] nvm, foud it [20:18] not sure how to make those scripts and such EagleScreen [20:19] I guess other than the Widget setup I really don't care that they use Guest... Was just hoping to have some of the converter, calculator, weather widgets open when they first started up [20:21] designbybeck: any dude? [20:22] no I'm not a programmer sorry [20:23] designbybeck: can't you make a bash script? [20:23] no clue [20:24] !# [20:24] lol something like that in a text file [20:24] let me see other alternatives.. [20:29] EagleScreen: with UbuntuTweak you can change a few login details on Ubuntu, was hoping for something that easy [20:35] designbybeck: i am looking for it [20:46] designbybeck: the key is in /etc/guest-session/skel I think [20:46] ah yes, I remember reading something about that for the Ubuntu setup I did [20:46] it was something along the lines as you get one sessions setup how you want it, copy something and put it in /guest-session/skel [20:47] I just didn't run across Kubuntu and Activities/Widgets and didn't know if it would work the same === gerald is now known as Guest33496 [20:47] designbybeck: I think yes, i am going to do a test [20:47] great! Thank you EagleScreen === nmmm-away is now known as nmmm [20:57] designbybeck: guest-session script appears to be using files in /etc/guest-session/skel, but there is not /etc/guest-session/skel in my system :O [21:36] hmm EagleScreen you think that Kubuntu doesn't have it? [21:37] what system you running EagleScreen? === paolo is now known as faLUCE [22:09] designbybeck: on Kubuntu 12.10 that directory is not present [22:10] designbybeck: as consequence, I only have an idea of doing it with a user different than guest, which you could use like the guest account [22:22] I am seeing that myself EagleScreen [22:23] designbybeck: have got that directory in your system? [22:24] no I do not EagleScreen I meant I see that it isn't there on Kubuntu or my Ubuntu setup [22:24] ok [22:25] designbybeck: use a normal user, you can create it with graphical tools or with command: sudo adduser charlie [22:25] where charlie is the username you want [22:26] designbybeck: you can deactivate his password with: sudo passwd -d charlie [22:26] then everybody can login with it [22:26] designbybeck: you also can install nodm if you do not want login screen neither (auto login without login screen) [22:27] designbybeck: then you can customize the desktop as you like, and it will be persistent [22:27] I think there is a setting in Kubuntu that will turn off the password for the login [22:28] designbybeck: may be [22:28] Will it roll back if another students changes something or turns off a widget EagleScreen ? [22:29] designbybeck: we can do something to estore back the default (customized) desktop each time a session is started, so yes [22:31] designbybeck: first create a new user and custimize the desktop as you want there. Ae you going to do it right now? [22:32] EagleScreen: I just found under System Settings Start up and SHutdown under Session Management area [22:32] It has On Login area... wonder if that might help [22:34] we can use it later to run things at login [22:36] but it says you can reload a saved session, wonder where you save it in the first place is EagleScreen [22:41] designbybeck: that has nothing to do regarding you want [22:46] no? [22:49] designbybeck: no [22:50] designbybeck: have you already created a a normal (not admin) user account and customized it? [22:55] yes just did that EagleScreen [22:55] got it pretty much how the other one was [22:56] designbybeck: now login with the other (admin) account [22:56] ok [22:57] I'm in as admin EagleScreen [22:57] ok now open a dolphin window as admin or a konsole terminal as admin [22:59] k i'm in the term [22:59] become root bu command: sudo su [22:59] and entering your pssword [23:00] k i'm root [23:00] how is your user's name? [23:00] not this (admin) the other you created (not admin) [23:03] physics [23:03] is the username [23:03] ok [23:03] lets create a new directory: mkdir /opt/physics_skel [23:05] ok made that [23:06] now we copy normal files to there: cp -a /home/physics/* /opt/phisics_skel/ [23:06] what does the -a do? === torminator is now known as Guest68364 [23:07] designbybeck: copy recursively and keep file permisions (like buckup) [23:07] ah ok, that is done now [23:10] now copy hiden and config files: cp -a /home/physics/.* /opt/physics_skel [23:11] gave some errors saying it would not create hard link to ... file. I am guessing that is correct because we want it to stay pointing to the same absolute path correct EagleScreen [23:12] yes [23:12] dont worry [23:12] ok that is done [23:12] now you have a backup of that user settings in that directory [23:13] I think we can automatize the restoring of that files for each session [23:14] ok great, that is more than I did have [23:14] amazon? [23:16] designbybeck: my compuer runs very slow, i think it has no free disk space [23:16] Ok EagleScreen thank you very much for your help with all of this [23:18] designbybeck: let me see the KDE config options for startup [23:18] hi,did anybody successfully boot kubuntu with a secure boot system? [23:21] designbybeck: create another directory: mkdir /opt/bin/ [23:22] designbybeck: change to that directory: cd /opt/bin [23:22] k [23:23] ok EagleScreen i'm in /opt/bin [23:23] create a text file: touch restore.sh [23:24] the fine name is 'restore.sh' [23:26] ok it made that file [23:27] lets give it right permissions: chmod 777 restore.sh [23:28] ok done [23:28] new i must write a small script in that file, stand by a moment === lauren is now known as Guest64812 [23:42] designbybeck: how time it taked to copy files with cp -a before? [23:44] not very long EagleScreen [23:45] thefolders moved faster than the .hidden [23:45] my computer is taking ages [23:45] i must have something broken by use unstble software [23:46] well this was a clean install EagleScreen [23:46] so I didn't have any files hardly, though I did have a bunch of software I had downloaded, just no of that had been ran
