I tried one of the included webcam applications but the video quality is awful... My real issue is that Kubuntu is using the HP Pavilion Webcam V4L kernel module instead of the correct Chicony Webcam kernel module that the Arch Linux folks mentioned in their Wiki. Previous troubleshooting attempts on Windows XP Pro. SP 3 have lead me to concl [02:46] that it's definitely a integrated Chicony Webcam in OEM HP Pavilion Webcam clothing... [02:48] Do I need a custom kernel or do I need to rebuild/upgrade my kernel to enable the Chicony Webcam V4L module? [02:50] My Wi-Fi issues thankfully have disappeared but it would be nice to have my webcam functioning properly too... === pedro_ is now known as Guest71087 === emma_ is now known as em === emma_ is now known as em === em is now known as emma === lee_ is now known as asdf010101 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [05:31] ? === cLive is now known as cLive2 [06:42] since upgrading to 12.10 (kubuntu), my login screen settings do not effect the login screen, which looks like some stupid half-assed macintosh or windows type thing... what happened, and how do i get the settings in the control panel to apply to it? [06:45] Zorrot: 12.04 used kdm, 12.10 uses lightdm (upgrading to 12.10 corrupted kdm for me). Iirc in the System Setting there should be to icons for the Login Screen, one for kdm and one for lighdm. [06:45] ok [06:45] i adjusted the lightdm settings [06:45] and they are still showing some stupid user selector with icons [06:46] control panel says "login screen (lightdm)" [06:46] when i open it, it indicates the settings i made [06:47] Zorrot: You can switch back to lightdm if you run in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm (if it is corrupted for you too, reinstall kdm) [06:47] huh! somehow gdm was set. [06:48] thanks -- i presume i've straightened it out now!

I'm trying to create a mouse shortcut but I can't find the command [13:12] Hi, I'm a relatively new kubuntu user, Is there a way to make sure kubuntu doesn't underclock the cpu on any chance (a "performance" power profile?)? [13:13] mamoun: Install the cpufrequtils package, then you can issue "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance". [13:16] I tried this but unfortunately the cpu frequency is stuck on 600 mhz! [13:17] It's a very old laptop, but it has a 1.7 Ghz Pentium M processor [13:17] cpufreq-info results: [13:17] current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 680 MHz. [13:17] The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use [13:17] within this range. [13:17] current CPU frequency is 600 MHz. [13:17] cpufreq stats: 1.70 GHz:40.38%, 1.40 GHz:0.00%, 1.20 GHz:0.22%, 1000 MHz:0.31%, 800 MHz:0.00%, 600 MHz:59.09% (13) [13:17] mamoun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:17] mamoun: With cpufreq-info you can see the supported frequency's, then with cpufreq-set -f you can specify the frequency. [13:18] mamoun: Also with cpufreq-set -u you can change the maximum clock speed of the profile. See the cpufreq manpage for more info (man cpufreq-set) [13:19] btw who was asking for LO 4 earlier this week? [13:19] it's been uploaded : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu1 [13:19] lordievader: here's the full cpufreq-info results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1650636/ [13:19] I'll try your suggestion [13:21] Hmmm, changed the maxmium value and it's still stuck in 600 mhz, lol my phone is faster than that. :D [13:23] mamoun: Not necesarely. Clock frequency does not directly translate into speed :P Manually specifying what clock frequency it should use also doesn't work? === netadmin is now known as HelloHowAreYou [13:24] lordievader: Well, I mean I can overclock my low-end android phone higher than that. :D I tried manual frequency setting, but nothing changed. [13:24] It's a seriously weird problem, I have no idea what's the reason behind it [13:26] Generally, If this was kde performance on 600 mhz processor, it's pretty impressive! :D The fact that I'm able to use Quassel, chrome and konsole on the same time is incredible! :) [13:26] mamoun: That is odd indeed. A solution does not spring to mind right now, I'm sorry. Perhaps there is some bios option preventing all this? [13:27] I looked for a bios setting, but the bios configuration for this laptop is really bare-bones, no significant options [13:28] Do you think a heating problem may cause ubuntu to underclock the cpu? [13:28] I know that the temperature sensors in this ancient laptop has been going crazy sometimes, despite that the laptop is not actually overheating [13:31] mamoun: Perhaps, I'm not sure. [13:32] ok, thank you for answering me :) [13:32] mamoun: No problem, sorry I could be more helpfull [13:33] lordievader: Don't worry about it, it's a weird problem anyway on an ancient 7-years old laptop, Finding the cause would be a miracle. :D [13:35] mamoun: Hehehe, true, true :) [13:37] mamoun, in my experience , the ondemand setting works well even on older machines (like mu old compaq circa 2005) , performance is an always on situation which doesn't really provide a faster user experience [13:40] BluesKaj: Well, I just thought keeping the cpu on maxmium frequency would resolve the strange undervolting issue. But it's true, based on testing cpu settings on a decent computer I find ondemand governer to be more reliable. [13:47] mamoun, it could be the old bad sensor symptom ... the device is ok , but the sensor is faulty... I see that in my car everyday ...Batterry Not charging " message ..I check the battery , 14.4 voilts output ..obviously the sensor is kaput [14:04] BluesKaj: Is there a way to disable the sensor completely? Perhaps ignore its reading? [14:09] mamoun, I'm not using one , since I'm on a desktop system ...you could hide the app in system tray settings [14:12] BluesKaj: I'm not sure what you mean, but I meant instructing ubuntu to ignore the sensor readings and thus no underclocking is done based on the inaccurate temperature reading? [14:12] o/ [14:12] Hey Wizard, how are you? [14:16] mamoun, are you sure clocking is determined by temperature ?...I know the cooling fan is [14:17] BluesKaj: It seems like a reasonable cause, the cooling fan seems to run at a constant speed from its sound [14:48] i've updated kde from quantal-backports and now i can't access kwin shortcuts in system settings/shortcuts. also lock screen (ctrl+alt+L) doesn't work anymore, probably other stuff is broken. any idea what happened?

I have to mark them as read again. Also, after restarting Kmail a few messages, alwas the same ones are again marked as unread even thougn I've marked them as read for at least 30 times. How can this be fixed? [15:32] pedor: I think you have found it?

[15:41] I'll search google to see if there is a full command :) [15:42] Hi, I'm the guy using an old laptop that was having a problem with cpufreq-utils, I just found out that the cpu reaches maxmium right after booting, remains on that for 5 mins, then becomes 600mhz again [15:43] This probably means something is being loaded on startup that when it's completely loaded it lowers the frequency, right? [15:45] pedor: You can change virtual desktops with it... but I cannot find an open windows method. [15:46] yes... this kind of choice is what I love at mac. makes easy to do things [15:46] we have this on kde, but nobody use and I can't find out how to do it, lol [15:47] Or sometimes the cpu may enter race conditions as well... [15:49] Is it possible to set up screen auto rotation? [15:51] mamoun: Have you tried with the kernel option of: notsc ? [15:51] genii-around: I'm not sure what this is. Could you explain this please? [15:52] What do you mean with "Screen auto rotation", PrincessLuna? [15:53] mamoun: On some systems (AMD mostly) the cpu can go into what is called a "race condition" where it goes to 100% for a while. It has to do with Time Stamp Counter... the notsc tells the kernel not to use that [15:54] genii-around: I will take a look at that, thank you [15:55] lordievader: I'm imagining they mean that if they rotate their tablet 90 degrees or such that the scren will auto-orient itself ... but I may have misunderstood [15:56] genii-around: That's what I thought.. but it could also be some multi-monitor setup thing, so I asked for more info :) === ricky__ is now known as Guest31190 [16:14] Hey [16:23] hello everyone [16:30] salve a tutti [16:30] * genii-around makes more coffee and hands everyone a mug [16:35] is it beneficial for me to use zfs on kubuntu for a 6tb media storage? === pixarras is now known as Benedicto_XVI === Benedicto_XVI is now known as Gil_ [17:01] dangerousice: I haven't used zfs... but I have a sizeable storage array ( 14TB ) using xfs which works great [17:11] genii-around: Thanks, I'll try that out.
