| samskiter | hello. plasma desktop seems to be leaking pixmaps. my Xorg process grows in memory usage over days and the cuprit seems to be plasma-desktop | 01:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: What version? | 01:32 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: 0.4 | 01:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: Do you mean 10.04? | 01:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: (I was talking about the Kubuntu version, to be clear) | 01:33 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: ah right | 01:34 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: im on 13.04 | 01:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh OK. | 01:34 |
| samskiter | plasma-desktop is version 0.4 | 01:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I figured. | 01:35 |
| samskiter | cool | 01:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: I would first suggest getting Ubuntu Tweak and clearing the cache via the Janitor | 01:35 |
| ashes | what happens to lts kubuntu after its done in 2014? | 01:36 |
| ashes | nothing will get updates? | 01:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ashes: What, 12.04? | 01:36 |
| ashes | the branch freezes | 01:36 |
| ashes | SonikkuAmerica: yes | 01:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !12.04 | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 01:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ashes: It didn't say that before... it'll be supported until April 2017. | 01:36 |
| ashes | oh. i thought it was next year | 01:37 |
| ashes | sorry | 01:37 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: could you explain the process of clearing the cache in more detail please? | 01:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: What Ubuntu Tweak's GUI will do is help free space on your computer by ditching the APT cache and most popular program caches. | 01:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ashes: No biggie. Kubuntu's LTS plan is the same as Ubuntu's (Unity's). | 01:38 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: okkk, but it wont be able to clear out all this memory that's being taken up by the Xorg process? | 01:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: If it's taking up too much CPU... that's another story. | 01:39 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: its not. its taking up too much memory | 01:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RAM? | 01:39 |
| samskiter | it increases over 3/4 days | 01:39 |
| samskiter | yes ram | 01:39 |
| samskiter | its a memory leak | 01:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'd file a bug report in plasma-desktop. | 01:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !bug | 01:40 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers. | 01:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | s/in/against* | 01:40 |
| samskiter | so you dont recommend this ubuntu-tweak thing? | 01:40 |
| samskiter | is there not more information i can extract to narrow the bug down? | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: Not for this. | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: (Answer to Q1) | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: For Q2, you said it was leaking pixmaps? | 01:41 |
| samskiter | as far as other people in other IRC channels say yes | 01:42 |
| samskiter | (personally, i dont know what a pixmap is, I just wanted to try and narrow the prblem to the point i can submit a useful bug report) | 01:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: Install Valgrind and use it to find where plasma-desktop is leaking then. | 01:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | [ sudo apt-get install valgrind ; valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full plasma-desktop ] | 01:43 |
| samskiter | OK. Ill have a go, but i've heard valgrind will slow my computer to a crawl | 01:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That's because Valgrind sandboxes whatever is running inside it. | 01:45 |
| samskiter | yea, so i heard. also, thats not the correct way of starting plasma-desktop is it? | 01:45 |
| samskiter | and presumably i need to kill it before i run valgrind | 01:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Probably. | 01:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Which means switching to a tty | 01:47 |
| samskiter | right then. running valgrind now | 01:48 |
| samskiter | where does valgrind leave it's results? | 01:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: Good question. If you don't see anything, check /var/log/ for a directory or file that says "valgrind"? | 01:54 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: i think it just outputs staight into the temrinal | 01:59 |
| samskiter | anyway, heres a load of what it output | 01:59 |
| samskiter | http://pastebin.com/s71DanwU | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK | 01:59 |
| samskiter | before it crashed. there is a summary at the bottom | 02:00 |
| samskiter | im not sure i got enough running time really.... but maybe there is something useful in there | 02:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | samskiter: Do you have an analog clock with a second hand running as a widget anywhere? | 02:02 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: nope. i dont use widgets | 02:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK. | 02:02 |
| samskiter | there's a reason they didnt take off on windows... | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Are you using the proprietary NVIDIA driver? | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (lol) | 02:03 |
| samskiter | SonikkuAmerica: im using bumblebee | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | An Optimus... | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You should file a memory leak bug at bugs.kde.org regarding this then. | 02:04 |
| samskiter | yes. but I asked around in #bumblebee when first diagnosing the issue and im not using any features that would cause an issue apparently. so i was sent to #linux-gfx | 02:04 |
| samskiter | kde bugs not ubuntu bugs? | 02:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | plasma-desktop isn't part of Ubuntu; it's part of KDE | 02:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Remember to tell them that it's Bumblebee or it'll be a dupe of another similar issue with NVIDIA prop drivers that got fixed in a new update of the NVIDIA driver. | 02:06 |
| samskiter | "then you were not using it. then you're using bumblebee only for powering down the nvidia card, if at all, and it is not responsible for memory consumption in your primary X" | 02:06 |
| samskiter | its not a bumblebee issue apparently | 02:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That just means it's not a Bumblebee issue... the issue is that of plasma-desktop. | 02:08 |
| samskiter | ah ok | 02:10 |
| samskiter | well ill mention all this | 02:10 |

| valorie | Jarris: what did you use to create the liveusb? | 08:12 |

| valorie | I don't understand what you mean | 08:15 |
| valorie | oh, yes, you can put on any ISO | 08:15 |
| valorie | I meant what application did you use to create the LiveUSB? | 08:15 |
| Jarris | u know the alternate cd? i used it and when i have to select the Harddrive i selected my usb-stick, with 1 boot and 1 encrypted root partition. and then installed the grup bootloader into the usb | 08:17 |
| valorie | ah | 08:19 |
| valorie | that won't work | 08:20 |
| Jarris | why? | 08:20 |
| valorie | for starters, the alternate CD isn't a live CD/USB | 08:20 |
| Jarris | starter? | 08:20 |
| Jarris | s | 08:20 |
| valorie | I don't know the technical details, but that's why one uses a specific application to create a live image | 08:20 |
| valorie | !live | 08:20 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 08:21 |
| valorie | piffle | 08:21 |
| valorie | you have to use the desktop images if you want a liveCD or USB | 08:21 |
| Jarris | hammm, and how do i get encryption? | 08:21 |
| valorie | kubuntu comes with a Startup Disk Creator built in | 08:22 |
| valorie | with which you can create or CD, DVD or USB | 08:22 |
| valorie | but you have to have a desktop ISO image to put on it | 08:22 |
| valorie | no idea | 08:22 |
| valorie | I guess google for that? | 08:22 |
| Jarris | did it ... | 08:23 |
| valorie | not sure why you would want an encrypted one | 08:23 |

| kurcina | hi is kubuntu basickly ubuntu whit other GUI? | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | iit use the ubuntu core , but a different desktop environment. kde on ubuntu uses kubuntu-desktop which uses the plasma desktop with it | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | within | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | the apps ahave their own kde versions | 13:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (And a similar deal with Kubuntu Active as well) | 14:00 |
| kurcina | so it does not use .deb pakages like ubuntu? | 14:01 |
| kurcina | i like more kde then gnome or unity or whatewer is now ubunut | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | kurcina, yes , and the same repositories | 14:02 |
| kurcina | ok and does kde use compiz or not? | 14:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kurcina: No; KDE has its own compositor within KWin | 14:03 |
| kurcina | or is plazma desktop like compiz | 14:03 |
| kurcina | does it have ALT TAB fuction? | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | kde uses kwin , not compiz | 14:04 |
| kurcina | does kwin have alt tab fuction | 14:04 |
| kurcina | i am using zorin but i wolud like to try some other KDE | 14:05 |
| kurcina | so what compozotors are out ther | 14:09 |
| BluesKaj | kwin uses it's own compositor , similar to compiz , look in systemsettings. desktop effects to find the options | 14:11 |
| kurcina | and does kubuntu 13.04 have dash to sirche like ubuntu | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | it has a search in the kmenu | 14:11 |
| kurcina | does kubuntu 13.04 have dash to search ? | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | no dash | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | !nepomuk | 14:12 |

| ubottu | Search factoids for term: !search <term> | 14:13 |
| kurcina | so what is behter compiz or kwin | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | if you setup desktop effects , you can do most of the compiz effects afaik , kurcina | 14:15 |
| kurcina | only efect i want is wobly window and alt tab fuction nothing more | 14:15 |
| === FabianB is now known as Guest93439 | ||

| BluesKaj | what's zorin? | 14:18 |
| kurcina | zorin is linux os thet looks like windows | 14:20 |
| kurcina | and comes whit alot of inbuld softwer | 14:20 |

| oye | Maybe MDT stands for something else in KRunner? | 18:06 |
| keithzg | It shouldn't, that's the official abbreviation for Mountain Daylight Time. | 18:07 |
| keithzg | It gives the same answer for MST. | 18:07 |
| keithzg | If I ask it for "time MT", which is the non-daylight-savings-specific abbreviation, it thinks I mean GMT, which is bad behaviour too. | 18:07 |

| ninjabox_ | but my network manager service has to be restarted every time i reboot the computer or it will not connect. | 18:21 |
| keithzg | Ahhh, Network Manager, my old nemesis ;) What's your actual networking situation like? | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | ninjabox_, I have to ask , is it set autoconnect in the network manager | 18:22 |

| ninjabox_ | would that affect it? | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | eth0? | 18:23 |
| ninjabox_ | no, wireless...but it does show up as eth1 for whatever reason | 18:23 |
| ninjabox_ | by networkin situation do you mean what means am i using to connect to the network? | 18:24 |
| ninjabox_ | at keithzg^ | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | afaik it should be wlan0 | 18:24 |
| ninjabox_ | it should. but atm it's not a major concern cause it works | 18:25 |
| ninjabox_ | can i paste the outputs of ifconfig and iwconfig here for you guys? | 18:25 |
| ninjabox_ | and just incase it's any different im using ubuntu 12.04 | 18:28 |
| ninjabox_ | not kubuntu | 18:29 |

| KenHarp | Can someone tell me the best way to preserve grub? I have Kubuntu installed and I want to dual boot Windows 7. I've done this many times, but the problem I face is installing windows last. It keeps grub from showing up. Any suggestions? | 23:02 |
| sakang | install kubuntu last | 23:03 |
| KenHarp | Kubuntu is already instlalled. | 23:03 |
| sakang | if you could boot to kubuntu, then update grub and then grub-install /dev/sda | 23:04 |
| KenHarp | I can't boot to Kubuntu, because of the grub issue. | 23:04 |
| KenHarp | Right now I'm on Kubuntu. I'm about to install windows but I dont want to get locked out of kubuntu because of grub. Is it possibly the way I'm installing windows that causes the prob? | 23:05 |
| valorie | windows likes to be first | 23:09 |
| valorie | not sure how to get around that | 23:10 |
| seattlegaucho | KenHarp: you can try booting from usb stick into your HD kubuntu (it has an option in the menu, I don't remember the specifics) ... then apply sakang's recommendation | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | would this work? | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | if u install linux then it will be hidden | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | insert the first linux installation cd | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | on the first window type linux rescue and follow the instructions | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | once u hav rached shell | 23:12 |
| KenHarp | type grub-install | 23:12 |
| FloodBotK1 | KenHarp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:12 |
| seattlegaucho | KenHarp: similar to what I recommended :) | 23:13 |
| KenHarp | sorry for the flood..lol | 23:13 |
| KenHarp | and thank you | 23:13 |
