[00:00] <runtyrobot> Evening. My wifi seems to be unable to reconnect after the computer has been slept or restarted. If I remove the network from the list in network management and re-add it, it works fine. Any ideas?

[00:15] <heyou> ssss
[00:15] <heyou> wow it works
[00:31] <runtyrobot> Evening. My wifi seems to be unable to reconnect after the computer has been slept or restarted. If I remove the network from the list in network management and re-add it, it works fine. Any ideas?
[00:33] <shalokshalom> Iv got nearly the same challenge in openSUSE, so maybe its a driver issue ?
[00:34] <nell> guys I have kubuntu installed on my system which supports a GTX 670
[00:34] <nell> are the nvidia drivers okay to put on? or are they unstable
[00:34] <shalokshalom> Try the Wifi Driver from the restricted extras runtyrobot ?
[00:35] <runtyrobot> shalokshalom: maybe, the odd thing is - it worked in the beginning.
[00:35] <runtyrobot> I'll have to look that up - rather new to this :)
[00:35] <shalokshalom> nell If the free drivers enought for you, i would leave it
[00:36] <shalokshalom> robot Same Story in SUSE
[00:36] <shalokshalom> For a while and then: disconnect, right ?
[00:36] <shalokshalom> With Wifi Card/Chip ?
[00:36] <runtyrobot> built in chip
[00:37] <runtyrobot> but I have only experienced one disconnect during use
[00:37] <runtyrobot> I just can't reconnect when I've been disconnected, for some reason
[01:01] <shalokshalom> I shall pass this way but once;
[01:01] <shalokshalom> any good therefore that I can do,
[01:01] <shalokshalom> or any kindness that I can show
[01:01] <shalokshalom> let me not defer nor neglect it,
[01:01] <shalokshalom> for I shall not pass this way again
[01:01] <FloodBotK1> shalokshalom: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:37] <Degru> I'm guessing all of these people have just opened quassel...
[04:56] <cl0n3> this all zombies!?
[05:27] <nell> Guys
[05:27] <nell> What do you think about installing nvidia graphics? Is it going to play nice with my system
[08:32] <Whiskey`Wonka> is there a gui interface for setting h cpu gonernor and the min/max speeds? using the cli i can change the governor but after a min or two it goes back to performance and is locked at one of the lower speeds, this is causing my laptop to overheat
[08:37] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: There is a Unity indicator that does this and strangely enough it works in Kubunu. A different program does not spring to mind, however a GUI will probably not solve the problem, how old is the laptop?
[08:38] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: not very old, 2.5 years
[08:38] <yo3iga> have you tried this one ?  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/jupiter-ubuntu-ppa-hardware-and-power.html
[08:39] <Whiskey`Wonka> yo3iga: no i have not.
[08:39] <yo3iga> i installed on asus eeepc for a few models and obn other laptops and it works like charm
[08:39] <yo3iga> please try it
[08:40] <Whiskey`Wonka> there used to be the battery manager? that let you select what governor was used, it changed at some point
[08:40] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: This is the indicator: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/cpu-frequency-scaling-applet-in-unity.html
[08:40] <yo3iga> i belive it will do the job for you
[08:41] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: After 2.5 years you might want to check/replace the cooling liquid between the cpu and the heatsink. Also be sure to install lm-sensors.
[08:42] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: the issue is purely that the cpu is being pegged at 1.9ghz and never being allowed to scale, if i boot windows it never gets warm at all
[08:42] <yo3iga> lordevader, you are so right he should do that
[08:42] <Whiskey`Wonka> it runs like ass at 1.9 too, it needs to scale UP some times too but doesnt
[08:43] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: If it overheats that is a bigger problem than being stuck at 1.9, if you ask me. (Because they are probably related ;))
[08:43] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: when i say 'over heat' i do not mean reaching shutdown temps
[08:43] <Whiskey`Wonka> i mean its warmer then cool
[08:44] <Whiskey`Wonka> and its stuck at 1.9 due to the governor, RE: current policy: frequency should be within 1.90 GHz and 1.90 GHz
[08:45] <Whiskey`Wonka> doesnt matter what the gov is when its told it doesnt have any other option
[08:45] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: With cpufreq-set you can specify the max and min values of a governor.
[08:46] <lordievader> (--min and --max)
[08:46] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: yes ive done that via cli and a few min later it reverts
[08:46] <Whiskey`Wonka> so i assumed there was some default policy in 12.04 with a place to configure it
[08:46] <Whiskey`Wonka> i know in 10 there was and i would sware it was the battery app
[08:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> but that might be a different distro
[08:47] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: Interesting, do you have some powersaving application installed who puts it back? Default is ondemand, however if you change it Kubuntu won't change it back.
[08:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> im on this thing waiting for my i7 to get back from repair, weak power jack
[08:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> no i have not changed it
[08:48] <Whiskey`Wonka> but it boots with 'performance' and 1.9/1.9
[08:48] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: Does cpufreq-info specify more supported frequencies?
[08:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> yes
[08:49] <yo3iga> maybe you have to take a look in bios settings
[08:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> but when the gov is told it can only select between 1.9 and 1.9, its going to pick 1.9
[08:50] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: And specifying a higher freq with the -c flag, does the system put it back after a while?
[08:50] <Whiskey`Wonka> yo3iga: no bios settings have changed since i have 9 or 10 on here and ive directly upgraded from them to 11 to 12
[08:50] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: yes, all settings revert to performance 1.9/1.9
[08:51] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: What cpu are we talking about anyway?
[08:51] <Whiskey`Wonka> a craptastic AMD Turion(tm) II P540 Dual-Core Processor
[08:57] <Whiskey`Wonka> jupiter sorta did it
[08:58] <Whiskey`Wonka> its at least keeping the gov at ondemand
[08:58] <yo3iga> told ya
[08:58] <Whiskey`Wonka> but it doesnt set selectable freq and its still only allowed 1.9
[08:59] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: Cool and Quiet is enabled in the bios?
[08:59] <Whiskey`Wonka> http://pastebin.com/gydU77wE
[08:59] <yo3iga> do a reboot and see then
[08:59] <Whiskey`Wonka> thats not what its called on this laptop
[09:00] <Whiskey`Wonka> yes it is enabled it was one of the first things i checked
[09:00] <Whiskey`Wonka> its option is 'os select' and 'min performance'
[09:01] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: Hmm, too bad.
[09:01] <Whiskey`Wonka> yea its to bad kubuntu went and doesnt have any way to configure what ever is used for cpu scaling now in 12.04
[09:09] <Whiskey`Wonka> hmmm
[09:12] <Whiskey`Wonka> ok edited /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq and now it has the range!
[09:13] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: Isn /sys a virtual mount?
[09:13] <Whiskey`Wonka> isnt it a redirect for /proc ?
[09:15] <Whiskey`Wonka> well, its working, so ill stick with it
[09:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> now its spending all (or most) of its time at 800mhz
[09:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> nice and sleepy
[09:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> these Turions just are not i7's heh
[09:17] <lordievader> Quote from about.com: "Starting with kernel 2.6 there's a new /sys directory for PnP configuration. It's a sysfs tpye of filesystem and it's something like the /proc filesystem since the "files" represent information in the kernel memory and are not on your harddrive. But it's not as useful as the /proc filesystem."
[09:18] <Whiskey`Wonka> well i found info saying that in 2.6 cpu scaling was moved there
[09:18] <Whiskey`Wonka> and my edits had the desired effect
[09:18] <Whiskey`Wonka> its all kernel scaling now, or thats the direction the devs want it to go any how
[09:19] <Whiskey`Wonka> just for what ever issue, my upgrade path did not set the min/max/gov correctly
[09:19] <lordievader> I'm glad you fixed your problem :)
[09:19] <Whiskey`Wonka> it looks like it set it to what my last configs max was for, video streaming at 1900mhz with ondemand
[09:19] <Whiskey`Wonka> me too and thanks for the help
[09:21] <lordievader> No problem, that's why I'm here :)
[09:22] <Whiskey`Wonka> heheh
[09:22] <Whiskey`Wonka> somewhat i guess so
[09:24] <Whiskey`Wonka> now if we can figure out this damn touchpad issue....
[09:26] <Whiskey`Wonka> its the first truely 'wtf thats a windows trait' ive had in like 8? years
[09:26] <Whiskey`Wonka> the pad randomly becomes one big left button, only a reboot fixes it
[09:26] <Whiskey`Wonka> any idea on how to reset the pad? there doesnt look to be a dedicated module
[09:28] <lordievader> Whiskey`Wonka: I have about zero experience with touchpad failures/bugs/errors...
[09:29] <Whiskey`Wonka> lordievader: yea for me its 'does it work? no? did the syntaptic module load? no? load it'
[09:29] <Whiskey`Wonka> but this is something funky and never did have a module load for it
[09:35] <Whiskey`Wonka> well that was stupid simple, reload module psmouse
[09:47] <sae> ciao
[12:30] <thechef> I don't get this. I disable recommends, but apper keeps FORCING me to install the annyoing and absolutely ugly microsoft fonts. How can I force Apper to agree on my APT settings?
[13:38] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:43] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, hey
[13:44] <BluesKaj> Hi FlowRiser
[13:44] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, what are you working on, if i may ask :D
[13:45] <BluesKaj> FlowRiser, general testing of Kubuntu 13.04
[13:46] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, does Kubuntu 13.04 have Qt5 libraries ?
[13:48] <BluesKaj> FlowRiser, there some available in the repos , but not installed by default like Qt4
[13:50] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, i see
[14:07] <BluesKaj> hmm seems my irc connection is a bit spotty today
[14:10] <lordievader> BluesKaj: There was a netsplit just now, perhaps that is it?
[14:10] <BluesKaj> nope , my znc bouncer disconnected the client
