jcgsHi guys :) I just upgraded to raring and now I can't get lightdm/X to start :( I have a hybrid graphics card (AMD/Intel) and I wondered if anybody could give me a few tips? When I installed Quantal I installed some packages from a PPA and ran a couple of commands and then everything seemed to work fine, so fingers crossed it won't be to difficult this time :)00:00
figure8carI want to know how I can install the same QT development tools in 13.04 that were offered in 12.1000:03
DarthFrogfigure8car:  Why can't you install the same packages?00:03
jcgsfigure8car: will installing qt4-designer do it? command: sudo apt-get install qt4-designer00:04
figure8carBecause I see bugs in the way certain widgets are drawn. I think it has to do with QT5x. I want to continue using QT4.8.300:04
figure8carPardon me00:05
figure8carI cannot install the same packages because Muon insists on uplifting to QT5x00:06
jcgsfigure8car: The only version available to me is 4.8.4 would that be suitable00:07
jcgsfigure8car: what do you mean 'keeps on uplifting me'? What is the version number of the package it's trying to install?00:08
figure8carIn 12.10,  The tools I used were QtDesigner 4.8.3, Creator 2.5.2 and Qt Assistant 4.8.300:10
figure8carThe result in 13.04 is Creator 2.7.000:11
figure8carI though the the resulting lib was the 5.x series. I'll check.00:12
jcgsfigure8car: all my libqt4-* packages are version 4.8.4. Presumably yours are too?00:14
figure8carI'm on a 12.10 box now, all 4.8.300:15
jcgsfigure8car: Oh, well that's what they would be on raring/13.0400:16
jcgsfigure8car: which means that raring isn't using qt5x00:16
jcgsfigure8car: as far as I can see00:17
figure8carCreator has several "kits" you can configure, I thought I saw 5x in there.00:17
figure8carregardless, how would you approach getting the same packages from the 12.10 env into 13.04?00:18
figure8carI want out of the 12.10 box because its old and has other problems. I wanted to start fresh on a new box with 13.0400:19
figure8carI tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list but conflicts arrise...00:20
jcgsfigure8car: what happens if you add the quantal sources as well?00:24
jcgsfigure8car: i would probably use apt-get source and build from there00:25
goodtimethelionroars: i found it00:25
goodtimeit is easy00:26
jcgsfigure8car: but that's probably a much bigger task than i'd be able to complete00:26
goodtimeQ: How do I run scripts automatically at startup?00:26
goodtime A: Put them into ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ directory.00:26
jcgsfigure8car: particularly since atm, my graphics aren't functional00:26
figure8carjcgs, have you ever built these packages? I was thinking of getting the source from Digia and building it...00:26
goodtime ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/dir00:27
jcgsfigure8car: no, i don't have any particular experience with these apps at all.00:27
goodtimeand thats it thelionroars00:27
goodtimeits irssi too00:28
goodtimehttp://www.princessleia.com/tools/r2d2/weatherbot3.1.pl00:29
figure8carjcgs: thanks for the ideas, I'll try some stuff later tonight00:29
jcgsfigure8car: just to warn you, all the qt4 libraries and the development apps are in one source package. that might mean you can't use different version together00:30
figure8carright, and it looks like I can get the series I want from Digia, but I have to manually install instead of using apt. I would rather use apt.00:31
jcgsfigure8car: all the dev apps in the repo require the libraries to be the same version, so you will have to circumvent apt i think. Good luck :)00:31
jcgsfigure8car: as above, apt will be very unhappy if the development apps are at different version from the libraries00:32
jcgsSorry, I have to go to bed even though my computer's not fixed :( mainly because it's 0130 in London atm00:33
figure8carI will have to file a bug report on the rediculous bug I see in the new tool chain. It occurs with no code other than that created by the IDE, so I know its in the newer lib.00:34
c2tarunI installed Ubuntu 13.04 in a 5GB partition, its fast but I didn't like it. So I want to keep using Kubuntu12.04. The problem is GRUB is updated, how can I install grub back to Kubuntu's partiiton?00:49
Obsidian1723Well, usually everything is installed under / and on one physical hard drive, in one partition, so /var/ /boot (where GRUB is), /etc/ buin /sbin and so forth, all exist under /00:55
Obsidian1723You don't need to reinstall  GRUB. If you just want to remove the entry for 13.04 from the GRUB menu, you can do that.00:56
Artakhac2tarun, grub-install /dev/sdX00:56
Artakhaobv must be root to do that00:56
ArtakhaObsidian1723, if he nukes the partition, grub becomes unusable if it still is installed on that partition00:57
c2tarunArtakha: I think now the default grub must be in /dev/sda5 my Ubuntu partition. Are you sure that grub-install will enable it back from /dev/sda1 (kubuntu partition)?00:57
Artakhait should... it installs it there for me :P00:57
Obsidian1723If it's installed on the partition he nukes, yes.00:58
* c2tarun trying00:58
c2tarunArtakha: just /dev/sda right? no digits00:58
Obsidian1723That's why I use VMs for testing. Less hassle, less mess.\00:58
c2tarunObsidian1723: yeah, its just VMs are pretty slow on my machine :(00:59
Artakhac2tarun, yeah that'll install it on the mbr01:00
Artakhac2tarun, which os are you running right now? i guess it'd be most safe to do it while booted on the 12.04 partition01:00
c2tarunArtakha: yeah, I am in 12.04 only01:01
c2taruninstallation finished, let me reboot and check01:01
Artakhaok then it should work01:01
c2tarunArtakha: it worked :) thanks01:03
Artakhayw :)01:03

c2tarunObsidian1723: :) I am planning for Master from US, when I'll get there, I am thinking of buying a system76 Lappy :) it has pretty good reviews01:05
Obsidian1723I just have maxed my box out to 32GB... 16 isn't enough.01:05
Obsidian1723Those are nice, but expensive.01:06
Obsidian1723Check out ZAReason too...01:06
* c2tarun checking01:06
c2tarunwow... I thought system76 is the only player with linux in market01:07
Obsidian1723My lappy is an olkd Dell D610 I paud $100 for. If it dies, I just buy another alppy, push out an image, run a script and life is good.01:07
Obsidian1723Nah, zareason and there's another one too, but I forget the name of it.01:07
Obsidian1723System76 is nice, but way pricey.01:08
Obsidian1723One of the guys at my last job spent $3,500 on a laptop from AlienWare. Unreal.01:08
Obsidian1723Of course I spent twice that amount on something else recently...01:09
c2tarunObsidian1723: well Alienware's deserve it, its my dream laptop. But I don't know when I'll be able to afford them. ZAReasons have pretty nice configuration options01:10
Obsidian1723zareasomn does. I just have a hard time paying a lot of money for cars, computers, electronics in general,. because they don't hold value well at all.01:10
c2tarunObsidian1723: yeah, but everyone has their passions :) I am sure yours is not cars or computers01:12
Obsidian1723Well, computers I've been at for a very long time. I enjoy them, work in them, but they are lousy investment vehicles.01:13

nova_I'm running Kubuntu as a vmware guest.  After the distribution upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, I'm having a problem installing vmware-tools properly.  The driver that provides sharing folders with the host system fails to compile.  Here's the full text, lines 285-358 contain the errors.  http://pastebin.com/wE3L4Vxe.  Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?10:23
nova_I verified that make, gcc, binutils, and kernel headers are installed as required.10:24
luc4nova_: kernel is 3.8 on 13.04. Maybe something changed.10:27
nova_yeah I'm not sure.  It seems to start falling apart with " error: implicit declaration of function ‘vmtruncate’"10:29
CQhello, are there non-pae kernel packages in ubuntu, or do I need to compile my own kernel? I have an old pentium M laptop without PAE10:29
monkeyjuiceCQ:  last thing i could get to run on non pae was linuxmint lxde10:31
monkeyjuiceafter 12.10 i think they went to pae10:31
luc4nova_: are you able to make the bottom task bar to appear with 13.04 on vmware?10:34
nova_the panel?10:34
nova_I haven't noticed any problems with panels, but mine is on the left side of the screen.10:36
luc4nova_: ah yes, there it works. Not on the bottom though.10:43
nova_really?10:43
luc4nova_: at least not here...10:43
luc4nova_: stopped working after the upgrade to 13.04.10:44
nova_I just added a new panel, and dragged it to the bottom..and it seems ok.  Not the "default" panel but jsut a blank one10:45
nova_do you jsut not see it?10:45
nova_Try it on the left with the "icons only task manager" widget10:46
luc4nova_: I mean the default panel. I see just the shadow.10:47
luc4nova_: yes, that works good.10:47
luc4nova_: I must have to 8 default panels on the bottom but I can't show those nor remove :-)10:47
nova_can you remove the dfault panel and add a blank one..then add in the widgets that are on the defautl panel?10:47
luc4nova_: but I can't remove the bottom panels cause those don't show up10:48
nova_as in manually reproduce it instead of using the "default"10:48
luc4if I place the panel on the bottom, I loose it :-)10:48
nova_what if you click where you think the panel toolbox button should be..does it rerender it when it adds controls?10:49
luc4nova_: no, it does not. It is like it is not showing at all. Clicking results as clicking on the desktop.10:50
nova_you installed vmware tools?10:51
luc4not yet, but I guess as you say it won't compile to this new kernel10:52
luc4what vmware are you using?10:52
nova_only the one modeule fails to compile..the one that allows for filesharing with the host directly10:52
nova_the latest vmware player10:52
nova_theres also the option of using openvm-tools from the repository..though i think it might not have all the same features10:53
nova_but the video drive stuff will work if you use the tar installer10:53
luc4nova_: vmware player on windows or linux? I'm on fusion. Let's see if anything changes...10:54
nova_in system settings/ desktop effects / advance, are you set to OpenGL ro XRender?10:54
nova_my host is windows 710:55
luc4nova_: oops I did it again :-D10:55
luc4nova_: I was able to remove the panels, now I lost all of them :-D10:55
nova_its ok you can add one back in somewhere10:55
nova_right click, add panel10:56
luc4yes, now I have one to remove :-D ok, it will appear in some situations I saw, then I'll remove it. Anyway... not working on the bottom.10:56
luc4xrender in there, tried opengl but not working10:57
nova_yeah install vmware tools then check to see if its opegl10:57
luc4it used to work months ago, then it stopped10:57
nova_yeah when kde 4.10 released it broke10:57
luc4yeah, something like that10:58
nova_theres a way to force it to use opengl10:58
nova_let me find the thread10:58
luc4anyway here it works more or less the same with xrender10:58
luc4nothing really changes10:58
nova_yeah opengl is mobetta11:00
nova_http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=109963&p=258859&hilit=wobbly+windows#p25885911:00
nova_the kwin developer helped me fix it there11:00
nova_well work around it..he needs to fix it11:00
nova_but in the meantime11:01
luc4ooh! thanks!11:01
nova_its a pretty quick simple fix, and easily undone if you wanted to11:02
luc4isn't there a bugreport for this?11:03
nova_I'm not sure11:04
nova_I had a hard time finding any info on it when the problem accured11:04
nova_occured*11:04
nova_put "export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2" in a script like it says in the thread and youre good to go11:05
nova_if anything it should change how things are rendered..which may or may not change any panel rendering issue you're having11:06
nova_oh wait...what theme are you using11:06
nova_some custom themes work well one one edge, and not on another11:07
nova_set the plasma theme to the default11:07
nova_"desktop theme"11:08
luc4the vmware tools now are not finding the kernel headers11:08
nova_sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)11:12
nova_should do it11:12
luc4already installed11:14
luc4I get /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include is not a valid path11:15
nova_hmm.."Detected the kernel headers at "/lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/build/include"11:15
nova_"The path "/lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/build/include" appears to be a valid11:16

luc4"The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include" is not a valid path"11:17
nova_i wonder why yours comes up with a different path11:17
luc4it doesn't come up at all, I had to insert manually11:18
nova_I pretty much spam "enter" and accept most of the defaults..but all the paths seem to work out of the box11:19
luc4I commonly do that too... now it is finding an empty path as the kernel header path... but even entering seems not good. Let's try to reboot and see if something changes.11:20

SonikkuAmericaKubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) - It seems like GRUB ignores the parameter GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" inside /etc/default/grub. How do we fix this?16:16
BlaXpiritduring upgrade i got a question16:16
BlaXpiritwhich basically asked if i want to leave my old GRUB config file or overwrite it with a new default one16:17
Macermy wifi wont connect lol16:17
Maceromg my laptop has turned into garbage16:17
BlaXpiritso if you chose new default file, then your config may be lost16:17
BlaXpiritthe upgrade changed almost nothing actually16:19
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: You call KDE SC 4.10.2 "almost nothing" then...16:19
BlaXpiritbah, i had it anyway16:19
BlaXpiritno, i think it was 4.10.116:20
BlaXpiritbig difference :|16:20
BlaXpiritOK. Homerun is very bad.16:20
BlaXpiritoh, maybe it's good in its own way16:21
BlaXpiritbut definitely can't replace Kickoff16:21
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: You can still use Kickoff!16:22
SonikkuAmericaI <3 Homerun16:22
BlaXpiritok so right now I think Homerun is completely transparent, always on top16:23
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: I'm pretty sure it's 4.10.216:23
BlaXpiritso i can't use mouse16:23
BlaXpiritoh now it closed16:23
BlaXpiritSonikkuAmerica, yes, 13.10 has 4.10.216:23
SonikkuAmericaNo, 13.0416:23
BlaXpirit13.04 dammit16:23
BlaXpirityes16:23
BlaXpiritbut I had 4.10.1 or 4.10.2 in 12.1016:24
SonikkuAmericaIt would've still been 4.10.2 at 13.04 release time if you used the backprts.16:24

BlaXpiriti don't understand how to make Homerun not annoying16:26
BlaXpiritwhat's the worst, window special effects  affect it16:26
Torch_it's a brand new project, isn't it? so no surprise it's buggy still. can't you just remove it?16:26
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: Hmmm...16:27

BlaXpiriti had to use Wicd in Kubuntu 11.10, cuz everything was broken there16:28
BlaXpiritno, it was 11.04  :|16:28
BlaXpiritso Ubuntu guys have their fullscreen panel instantly appearing when they press Meta16:30
BlaXpiritKubuntu guys have it slowly appearing, when they click on some lame icon using mouse16:30
Macer12.04 and 12.10 were fine16:33
Macerthey were great actually :)16:33

Sir_Brizzhi, I upgraded to 13.04 from 12.10 and removed my .kde folder. Now my default panel is completely empty except for an activities button. Anyone know what's up?16:58
BlaXpiritSonikkuAmerica, are you using your old GRUB config (from before the upgrade) or did you reset it to the new default?17:06
BlaXpiritor was it a fresh install even??17:08
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: It was fresh17:10
BlaXpiritok, SonikkuAmerica, what do you mean it ignores the parameter?17:10
BlaXpiritGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" is the default setting17:11
BlaXpirithow can default be "ignored"17:11
SonikkuAmericaBlaXpirit: Right. I even double-checked it in /etc/default/grub. But every time I boot up, I get a verbose boot - and no splash.17:11
Sir_Brizzthat was stupid17:11
SonikkuAmericaSir_Brizz: What was?17:11
Sir_Brizzmy problem17:11
Sir_Brizzfor some reason my KDE creates a custom panel when you remove your settings17:12
SonikkuAmericaI did [ sudo update-grub ] ... maybe I should reboot17:12
SonikkuAmericaApparently the [ sudo update-grub ] fixed it. I like the new one. Has the breathing effect.17:15
Gregor3000hmmm ok updates messed up the computer again. need help - system taskbar or whatever is called is showing strange time 17:19, while the clock (widget) on desktop is showing 19:19 which is the correct time. if i click to change the time the time to which i should be changing is correctly written 19:19. so i can't do any changes - i.e. there is nothing to change there. if i click disable automatic time it doesn't work. what the hell?17:22
