| MoPac | Kow: Sorry for the AFK. Yes, I tried setting apt/preferences pin priority. I set package: libreoffice* , pin: origin "[several variations on the ppa address]", and pin-priority: 1001 . But in apt-cache policy, the result was that *both* versions, one from each repository, now had a 1001 after them, and both repositories still had 500 before them. The universe source was still on top | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| ironhalik | Kow: Regarding my fglrx problem - the version is 13.2beta7, the 3d driver version is 12.10.00 or sth like that, as they changed their naming convention, I think | 00:09 |
| snadge | ironhalik: there are a couple of patches needed for 3.7/3.8 kernels, plus you need to create a symlink.. in order to build fglrx on raring.. or you can install the fglrx from xorg-edgers ppa | 00:16 |

| Atlantic777 | Uhm, a really strange bug... With current daily minimal.iso I couldn't install it. After deleting partitions on the disk, everything went normal. | 00:57 |
| Atlantic777 | I didn't even get to the partitioner. :/ | 00:58 |
| Atlantic777 | I'm not sure where and how to file this bug. | 00:58 |

| captine | hi all. 13.04... my laptop smells like it's burning inside... i have disabled optimus in the bios to see if that is causing any issues, but the fan still runs all the time and the smell is interesting. any tips for troubleshooting this? | 10:46 |
| alankila | check if the CPU frequency is ever lowered, or if something is constantly using 100% of cpu in top | 10:47 |
| alankila | also you should probably stop using the laptop but for brief periods at a time after which you should let it cool down. | 10:47 |
| alankila | until you can resolve this problem. It is possible that the ventilation fan is dusty or the ventilation ports are blocked, so opening the device up and checking things would be reasonable if it's an older machine. | 10:48 |
| captine | thanks. i ran "watch -n 1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq" and there is always 1 core at max, and the rest at minimum | 10:48 |
| alankila | so what task is currently consuming time? there's probably a 100% running task | 10:48 |
| alankila | use top or something | 10:48 |
| captine | i am suspecting nexpose is causing it. installed it for fun, and cannot figure how to remove | 10:49 |
| captine | it is using some of the processor | 10:49 |
| captine | let me see if i can stop it from starting up | 10:51 |
| alankila | an immediate help could be from setting 'powersave' cpu governor in the cpufreq | 10:53 |
| alankila | this should force the clock to the lowest possible value regardless of usage | 10:53 |
| captine | thanks | 10:55 |
| captine | done that. | 10:55 |
| alankila | anyway, modern machines don't inspire much confidence to me if it's possible to burn the cpu up through software. These things used to be designed to avoid this sort of thing. | 10:55 |
| captine | alankila, i think my issue is buying the cheapest i7 Laptop...next time, i will get a desktop for power, and a ultrabook for portable | 10:56 |
| alankila | there was once a program called cpuburn which used assembly sequences crafted to the cpu chip model trying to cause maximum thermal load. It was interesting to see that your average 100% cpu load would maybe heat the chip to 55C, but cpuburn could go to 60C or more | 10:56 |
| alankila | I think most of the usage is about causing as large degree of cache work as possible. After all, the caches are a giant section of chip, so exercising them should cause some of that switch current to flow. That is my theory, anyway. | 10:57 |
| captine | thanks a mil. found the uninstall. Machine cooling down already. | 11:02 |
| k1l_ | hi, on 13.04 the launcher uses a different autohide behaviour. it stays longer in the foreground and the windows like nautilus and terminal get started a bit more to the right instead of beeing at the left edge. | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | is there a way to change that? | 12:01 |

| mynameisbruce | virtualbox broken in ubuntu+1 | 15:18 |
| mynameisbruce | right? | 15:18 |
| mynameisbruce | vboxdrv setup fails without any log or error | 15:19 |
| mandoguit | mynameisbruce: fwiw, running Oracle vb version 4.2.6 here Kernel: 3.8.0-13-generic x86_64 (64 bit) | 15:29 |
| mandoguit | Desktop: KDE 4.10.1 Distro: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) with no obvious problems right now. | 15:29 |
| mynameisbruce | raring runs 4.2.8 | 15:29 |
| mynameisbruce | 4.2.8-dfsg-0ubuntu1 | 15:30 |
| mandoguit | hmm....saw there was an update from oracle site but afaik, nothing has come through repo's yet as mine hasn't been upgraded. did you install from repo's or ?? | 15:31 |
| mandoguit | mynameisbruce: btw to I am running non-free (oracle ) version | 15:33 |
| mynameisbruce | yes...4.2.8 comes out of official ubuntu repo | 15:33 |
| mynameisbruce | i think problem came with latest updates....virtualbox run fine last thu,fri | 15:33 |
| mandoguit | mynameisbruce: according to my upto date Synaptic listing here, the Oracle version is still at 4.2.6 so yes the newer .8 open source version maybe faulty. | 15:39 |
| phunyguy | perhaps you need new kernel sources, mynameisbruce? | 16:13 |
| phunyguy | err headers* | 16:13 |

| mynameisbruce | vboxdrv setup still exits with 0 but didnt build anything using dkms | 17:02 |
| phunyguy | that will generally cause virtualbox modules to not compile | 17:02 |

| wildshu | [kubuntu] is there possibility of opting out from installing bootloader in new installer? | 19:54 |
| bazhang | what would you use instead wildshu | 19:57 |
| BluesKaj | wildshu, in my experience it will install grub , but if there is already one in the mbr , then the new grub install remains local and the existing grub needs updating in the OS that installed it | 19:57 |
| wildshu | bazhang: umm, nothing, I have bootloader already and don't want it being overwriten | 19:57 |
| wildshu | BluesKaj: oh, ok, good | 19:58 |
| wilee-nilee | wildshu, You can point grub to the ubuntu partition and keep the one in the mbr or where ever it is. | 19:58 |
| wildshu | wilee-nilee: yup, I did that, but there was worrying and a bit confusing info after | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | wilee-nilee, in the newer ubiquity grub options don' | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | t seem to appear | 19:59 |
| wilee-nilee | BluesKaj, not in the something other option? | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | at least I haven't seen it | 20:00 |
| wildshu | while doing manual partitioing i could choose which partition to install, but nothing else | 20:00 |
| wilee-nilee | It may be, I will definitely check. | 20:01 |
| wildshu | And it informed that I should have 1mb free at the beginning of the disk | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | something other ? maybe that's something new , mind you the last time ubiquity worked for me was on 12,10 | 20:01 |
| wildshu | even though I've choosen partition, not disk | 20:01 |
| wilee-nilee | BluesKaj, something other is the manual install from the gui giving you install options, or least it was I have raring installed but since it's first daily. | 20:02 |
| arif-ali | anyone know of any issues of installing raring from the latest live boot isos. | 20:02 |
| arif-ali | Used debootstrap instead to install it | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | wilee-nilee, ok , I haven't looked at those options | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | wilee-nilee, raring won't install from a livecd here anyway due to an amd64bit hardware bug , it hangs before the partitioning phase | 20:12 |
| ironhalik | BluesKaj: does it affect all amd64 systems? | 20:46 |
| ironhalik | I'm planning to reinstall my raring from livecd. Maybe I should try to recover the installation instead of going the microsoft way, reinstalling it | 20:48 |
