[15:13] mahesh_: you can theoretically run 'kdesudo dolphin', but be very careful then (you will still need a webserver though to view a php site) [15:14] hi - does anyone know if /tmp has been mounted as tmpfs and the size of /tmp = 2.5GB - is that using 2.5GB of system ram/swap [15:15] yossarianuk: it will at most use 2.5GB of ram/swap [15:15] the size just states the limit [15:15] yofel: i did a du -hs /tmp to get the value. [15:16] yofel: thanks btw ! [15:16] ah, try df -h [15:16] its showing 3.9GB [15:16] thanks [15:16] size is the limit, used is what's currently being used [15:17] this is bad some one has tried to 'optimise 'a server with only 4 GB of ram .. [15:17] hehe [15:17] mahesh@Mahesh-System-Kubuntu:~$ kdesudo dolphin [15:17] QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory [15:17] QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /root/.config/ibus/bus [15:17] "/usr/bin/dolphin(5289)" Soprano: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" [15:17] "/usr/bin/dolphin(5289)" Soprano: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" [15:17] mahesh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:17] and I assume as its eating into swap the performance would be just as bad or worse than just using the disk.... [15:17] it'll be worse [15:18] thanks for confirming that [15:18] someone is in trouble.... [15:18] (not serious trouble..) [15:18] it won't be *that* bad, but the real filesystem still has better performance then [15:19] it's a question of how much I/O actually goes through swap [15:21] yofel: cheers [15:22] @ : I try kdesudo dolphin, it works but getting error : http://paste.kde.org/678476/ [15:22] @ : Can you advice on this? [15:24] mahesh_, just fyi , @ isn't required on irc , the nick is enough [15:25] mahesh_: you can just ignore those debug messages, dolphin should still work properly [15:26] yes, it works absolutly fine.

[17:07] yes, it's enabled in my bios and my cpu supports it [17:07] err virtulization [17:07] most do [17:08] BBl [17:09] I have a moderately new AMD phenom 3.2 quad core processor.

I can't pass login screen on Kubuntu 12.10. It says "could not start ksmserver. check your installation". How can I solve this? [18:09] Anyone? [18:10] george_: I would suggest: ctrl-alt-f1 then issue: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop when this is done: alt-f7 and try login again [18:11] genii-around: you mean go to advanced option, root terminal mode and do that? [18:11] george_: No [18:12] george_: The system boots up to a graphical login? [18:12] genii-around: yes, but I can't pass login screen [18:13] george_: So then at that graphical login screen, to follow the instructions I just gave [18:14] genii-around: ok, I'll try that and come back to report. thanks. [18:14] george_: You're welcome === kubuntu is now known as Guest96147 === Guest96147 is now known as CristianRoma [18:32] genii-around: it didn't work! :( [18:33] genii-around: I've tried to xinit startkde too and got unable to connect to x server: connection refused. [18:34] genii-around: I also got the following warning: no write access to &home directory (/home/george) KDE is unable to start. [18:34] I have to fix this, I relly need to work. [18:36] is there any more meaningful error in your ~/.xsession-errors ? [18:37] yofel: I guess not. [18:37] george_: The permisssions thing looks like it may be the issue. Apologies on lag, I'm at work and they called me away from the computer [18:37] george_: I would suggest fix permissions first: eg: sudo chown -R george: /home/george [18:37] george_: what did you do before this happened? [18:38] Probably used sudo on something, is my guess [18:38] genii-around: Ok. But I've already run sudo chown -R george:george /home/george and also sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george [18:38] yofel: libdlna successfully build. http://paste.kde.org/678590/ . I have to go thought the log one more to confirm it. this is the new rules file http://paste.kde.org/678596/ [18:39] Hm [18:39] yofel: I was trying to recover some files with TestDisk program. [18:39] genii-around: yep. [18:39] murthy: wrong channel [18:40] oops [18:40] george_: Is /home on some separate partition or disk? [18:40] eg: The one which was problemmatic [18:40] george_: recover some files where? on / or /home? [18:40] yofel: Thanks, work is calling again :/ [18:43] genii-around: no, i's not a separated partition. I was trying to recover from a flash disk. [18:47] I really need to fix this issue. Any other ideas guys? [18:48] george_: Please: sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then: ls -l /home | pastebinit and: mount | pastebinit and then please give us the URLs it tells [18:49] george_: I am currently back and forth from my computer, so please bear with me if I am not responding immediately [18:49] genii-around: Ok, I'll try that..... [19:00] genii-around: Ok, when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document, [19:00] genii-around: The other command gave me the following url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5555949/ [19:02] george_, 2x type >> ls -l /home [19:02] george_: So that would indicate either that /home does not exist, or else has no contents. [19:02] *2x typo [19:03] genii-around: it became empty, after using TestDisk, but sudo dolphin could access it and all my data was there. [19:04] george_: "/home" by itself is not where user's stuff is. It's in "/home/theirusername/" [19:04] genii-around: Now, does the pastebin tells you something? [19:05] genii-around: Yes, you're right. [19:05] Also using sudo with dolphin is a further cause of problems.... [19:05] what are the permissions on /home ? [19:05] OerHeks: Don't understand what you're saying. [19:06] yofel:look, I don't know, I've already run sudo chown - R george:george /home/george and sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george [19:06] george_: The pastebin of what is mounted was un-enlightening [19:06] george_: But you see, that would be not useful if /home exists but /home/george does not exist [19:07] genii-around: Oh boy, What can I do? No, /home/george does exist [19:07] so what does ls -l /home say again? [19:08] genii-around: I've got lots of text when I've run those commands, my data was appearing. [19:08] yofel: when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document. [19:09] ls -l home sure, but ls -l /home ? [19:10] yofel: I' had to boot again and do that to know [19:10] yofel: any other ideas before I do that? [19:12] george_: I believe he is still waiting to see your result of: ls -l /home [19:12] ( with the slash in front of home ) [19:12] hm... maybe wipe the /var/tmp/kdecache-george folder [19:12] the stuff in /tmp should be reset by a reboot anyway [19:13] genii-around: ok, I'll boot again to try that. [19:13] yofel: ok, thanks, i'll try that now... [19:15] meh, I should've asked him to pastebin xsession-errors while he's there [19:19] I wonder if he got any error when he tried to chown -R the directory back to himself [19:19] ( that he neglected to tell) [19:22] Ok, here we go again. [19:22] ls -l /home gives me drwxr-xr-x 84 root root 69632 Fev 22 12:28 george [19:23] ls -l /home/george shows my folder (Desktop, Documents, etc). [19:23] So how can it be that if you earlier did: sudo chown -R george:george /home/george ...that it gave no error? [19:24] ( seeing as it's still owned by root ) [19:24] genii-around: honestly I have no idea, I don't understand those stuff, i'm a noob. [19:25] george_: At any rate... please reissue the command: sudo chown -R george:george /home/george .... and let us know if it says anything or just puts you back to command prompt [19:26] genii-around: ok, i'll try that again... just have to boot again, oh boy. [19:26] Why do you have to keep rebooting? [19:26] ( or, what makes you think you need to reboot) [19:27] genii-around: because I don't have another computer. I'm on my aging, never used, never updated windows 7 partition. [19:28] Just updated 12.04 ... how do I have the password lock screen NOT show up? [19:28] george_: Ah, got it. [19:28] genii-around: i'll try it. see you. [19:31] Work, back in 4-5 minutes [19:32] http://askubuntu.com/questions/177348/how-do-i-disable-the-screensaver-lock-in-12-04 [19:32] oh kubuntu [19:33] probably system settings similary [19:34] "Go to Settings > System Settings > Desktop > Screensaver [19:34] You can turn off the screensaver here, and also disable the password lock for the screensvaer." [19:34] genni-around: it worked! thank you, I'm using quassel, right know, what a relief, But why it didn't work before [19:34] Rephrase: How do I disable the lock screen feature in 12.0.4 latest update? [19:35] george_: Most likely you forgot the / in front of "home" or some other typo... but glad to see you are back up and running. Please remember not to use sudo with graphical apps, only with command-line apps, use instead kdesudo with graphical apps [19:36] genii-around: sure thing. However, something still is not wright. [19:36] genii-around: Mt home folder is empty [19:36] genii-around: but when i access via /home/george my data is there. [19:37] george_: The "/home" folder does not contain anyone's data. It only contains all the directories which belong to different users. In those separate directories which belong to different users, is where their data is [19:38] eg: "/home" is EVERYONE'S home, for their own directory , which in turn is where their specific things are kept [19:39] i meant my home folder (/home/george) [19:42] mr-rich, you mean 12.04.2? [19:42] it's not there, then I don't know [19:43] ronalds_m: How do I check my release level? [19:44] lsb_release -a [19:44] in terminal [19:44] ronalds_m: yes. 12.04.2 [19:44] btw I have that also [19:45] and I have the option [19:45] ronalds_m: disable lockscreen [19:45] brightness [19:45] lock [19:45] probably [19:45] george_: There are no subdirectories in /home/george like Documents and so on? [19:45] genii-around: well, when i clicked on places at dolphin it showed an empty folder, but I've add another entry and deleted the old one, so I guess it's ok now? [19:45] mine is translated to native, so maybe different path [19:45] ronalds_m: want to disable lockscreen password stuff ... [19:46] ronalds_m: don' t need it ... [19:46] there is check box [19:46] george_: I am unsure what you mean by "added another entry and deleted the old one" [19:47] I think it's easy to find it [19:47] oh wait [19:48] I failed [19:48] maybe it's cause there was lockscreen bug and they fixed by removing option [19:48] genii-around: don't know if it's the same in English, please bear in mind, I'm translating from portuguese. Anyway, right click on places menu in dolphin, and add an entry (shortcut, place, whatever) pointing to /home/george, like the old one that was pointing to the same folder, but showed an empty one. [19:49] but lock is there [19:50] probably ask this question on ubuntu channel [19:50] kubuntu is you know for kde and kubuntu mr-rich [19:51] ronalds_m: yup ... I think I found something ... [19:51] george_: If you open Konsole and type: echo $PWD what does it say? [19:51] genii-around: /home/george :P [19:52] * genii-around ponders circular symlinks [19:53] ronalds_m: found it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/172052/disabled-lockscreen-on-ubuntu-accidently-how-to-renable-it [19:53] genii-around: so, is everything ok now?

I want to compile ultrastar-deluxe from svn, but it doesn't support current libav (libavcodec53)/ffmpeg libs. That's why I need to install an older version, like libavcodec52.

Maybe into a separate directory and give that path [22:36] to configure? [22:37] Or can I install the older ffmpeg 0.10 parallel to libav? [22:43] no one?
