[01:04] good day.. === paddymahoney is now known as Guest48159 [08:48] salve [09:26] hey.. i have more than 1 desktop enrvironment. how can i uninstall everything other than Kde [09:28] !purekde [09:28] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [09:28] kilo_byte: try that link [09:28] okie [09:28] its not just gnome [09:28] xfce, lde , unity. [09:28] pretty much of everything :P [09:28] it has instructions for most *-desktop packages [09:29] ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and edubuntu [09:29] tsimpson, my system has gone pretty slow too [09:29] the others shouldn't be hard to remove [09:29] is there something I can do about that [09:29] probably the best thing to try is replacing the HDD [09:30] hdd aint that old :D [09:30] and upgrade RAM if you can, that's always a good way to get a boost [09:30] besides its not economical :P [09:30] HDD's tend to get very inefficient over time [09:30] i have 3 gb ram and 500 hdd more than enough for kubuntu i suppose [09:31] you could possibly do a fresh install, not so bad if you have a separate partition for /home [09:31] yep . they do [09:31] but its just 2 years ;) [09:32] i dont have a seprate one :P [09:32] i think i will back up that one [09:32] !home [09:32] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [09:33] it's very useful, especially if you ever want to reinstall or completely replace your OS [09:33] !bin [09:33] i have got windows too :P [09:33] which is really a pain [09:34] !kubuntu-desktop [09:34] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [09:35] sooner or later you get tired of dual-booting, or you realise that you've been avoiding it for so long it's not really worth you keeping windows around [09:36] besides, you can get windows in a VM pretty easily [09:36] tsimpson, there is only one use of windows for me [09:36] google input tools [09:36] and writing :D [09:37] the only time I've ever needed windows is when some device needed special drivers to interact with, and those drivers only existed for windows [09:37] and for those I just used a VM [09:38] windows 8 has a pretty good UI [09:38] kilo_byte, I hate Metro UI [09:38] and it boots pretty fast too [09:39] metro UI [09:39] havent hear smartboyhw [09:39] heard* [09:39] kilo_byte, Metro UI = Windows 8 UI [09:40] smartboyhw, oh.. cool [09:40] kilo_byte, not cool [09:41] :P === moji_ is now known as moji [10:35] hi [10:35] how can you scan files to see what has the 'execstack' flag enabled ? === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [10:42] how can i connect samsung tab 7 [10:46] # find . -name \*.so -exec execstack -q {} \; - does it [11:26] 'Morning all === max is now known as Guest41019 === Guest41019 is now known as Max_tmn [11:52] hi. I've got a problem. when I connect my laptop to my tv via HDMI nothing happens. any ideas? [11:53] KDE is so slow [11:53] it doesn't run on 2.2GHz dual core celeron [11:54] eur33r: why do you think it's the cpu that's the bottleneck /? [11:55] CPU usage, 30% idle [11:55] anyway [11:55] I also have 4GB RAM [11:55] that doesn't mean it's causing a slow down [11:56] ATI Radeon 6450 HD [11:56] as if it was slowing down you'd expect more usage as it would be bottlenecking [11:56] and yeah that#s all the information I am allowed to give you [11:56] allowed to give me ? [11:56] not my computer [11:56] you might hack it [11:57] then no point discussing it any more - please don't raise this topic again unless you are willing to provide information [11:58] marcellux: well what do you expect to happen? are you telling the OS to actually output any image over hdmi? [11:58] ikonia: okay, what info do you need? [11:58] just ask [11:58] your password? [11:58] eur33r: version of kubuntu, the configuration you've done on your video card, what's slow, what's not slow, [12:00] eur33r: the animation to min/max window is slow ,right? [12:00] no. I did not. I thought I just plug the cable and I can see my desktop on the tv [12:01] Leoneof: yes [12:01] like I do with windows [12:02] ikonia: too personal tbh [12:02] eur33r: then please don't ask for help with the problem [12:03] ikonia: stop trolling [12:08] marcellux: It depends on what graphics chipset you have. If you have for instance Intel, you can use KDE's native plasmoid to change output [12:08] marcellux: Also it helps to know which version of Kubuntu you're running, as later versions use kscreen [12:09] Any one there? [12:09] hello [12:09] i need some help from Mac users who use Kubuntu on mac [12:10] I am using 12.10 with Kernel 3.10.0. It seems the OS does not even know how to deal with the HDMI port [12:11] hey [12:11] i am having some trouble [12:12] !anyone [12:12] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [12:12] @marcellux , i have installed Kubuntu 12.04 LTS on macbook, but once i restart after installation, i can't get to chose Kubuntu :( [12:12] marcellux: And what graphics chipset do you use? [12:13] any there who can help me with this ? [12:13] marcellux: And do you use any proprietary drivers? [12:14] How can I find out what graphic chipset I am using? and if I'm using propietary drivers? [12:15] I am sorry, I cannot help you with that. I never installed LInux on Mac [12:18] marcellux: In a terminal, "lspci|grep VGA" should give you some hint [12:18] marcellux: jockey-kde can be used to install proprietary drivers for nVidia or Ati [12:19] this is the result: [12:19] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [12:19] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] [12:22] marcellux: I know next to nothing about ATI, but I think you should install the proprietary drivers using jockey-kde and that might make things work automagically [12:23] thanks. I will try that with the additional drivers for the 3rd party drives! [12:23] :) [12:27] shadeslayer: i need help with dual boot .. i have installed Kubuntu on mac , but once installation is finished, and i reboot the machine, i am not able to chose between OSX and Installed Kubuntu [12:27] right [12:27] hi [12:27] classicchins: what machine do you have? [12:27] macbook pro 9,2 [12:27] okay cool [12:27] so there are two ways to fix this [12:27] okay, [12:27] you can a) hold option at boot to choose between OS X and Kubuntu [12:27] or b) You can install refind which is what I did [12:28] see http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/ [12:28] shadeslayer: well, i had chosen the first way, [12:28] refind gives you the advantage of kernel stub booting [12:28] so you bypass grub and you can directly boot the kernel from the EFI bootloader [12:28] but, once i install, and reboot .. and hold the option key during startup, again, i can't find the option to chose [12:29] hmmm.. so that leaves me only that option left ? [12:29] refind is nice [12:29] I recommend it [12:30] thanks jussi and shadeslayer , lemme try using that now :( [12:30] classicchins: yeah, use refind if holding the option key doesn't work [12:31] had same issues with Ubuntu earlier @shadeslayer .. but it worked for few weeks, and then again stopped working .. now i am moving to Kubuntu and from the beginning its not working [12:32] lemme see what i can do with refind now .. [12:33] carlosbuz: I suspect some sort of grub-efi issue [12:33] but I haven't used grub in a long time since I started using efi stub booting [12:36] unfortunatelly, it did not work. I got an error message telling me to take a look at the jockey.log. could this be caused because of using a higher kernel than what it sues this kubuntu version? [12:38] marcellux: oh you're using a custom kernel? [12:38] backported or such [12:38] and yes I guess that could be an issue. to be honest I havent used restricted drivers in years, I tend to stick to Intel for hasslefree computing ;p [12:40] the kernel I got it from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ === moji_ is now known as moji [12:41] got version v3.10-saucy [12:41] marcellux: Yes, sadly I do not know how well that works together with something like jockey [12:41] But someone else in here might, so stick around I guess [12:43] I will try to go back to the roots, with the original kernel I should be using according to my kubuntu version [12:48] marcellux, good plan , then you'll have the correct kernel modules available for your hardware [12:50] thanks. I will go now offline for a bit. I hope it works. cheers [12:53] shadeslayer: der ? [12:53] simpleirc1: hi? === simpleirc1 is now known as simpleirc2 [13:09] Yo [13:09] @shadeslayer der ? [13:09] yes [13:09] hi [13:10] I am on mobile now.. I just have to follow same installation procedure with redifin too rt ? [13:10] Sorry its refind [13:11] ? [13:19] Hmmmm === marcelo is now known as Guest1755 [13:27] @shadeslayer [13:27] classicchins_: oh sorry [13:27] you just download the deb and install it [13:27] that's all you have to do [13:27] and then reboot [13:27] shadeslayer: setting up kubuntu now .. [13:27] ah okay [13:28] just the same way i did earlier, but this time i have installed rEFInd [13:28] cool :) [13:28] hope this time it works fine ! [13:28] i dont have a pretty good connection and its taking long time to install the packages .. 4th time installing today :( [13:29] mauro_: Hi [13:29] classicchins_: which version are you installing? [13:29] 12.04 [13:29] LTS [13:30] uhmmm .. I'd recommend 13.04 [13:30] atleast [13:30] shadeslayer : oh :( i dont want to follow same procedure again :( damn .. butw, can i directly upgrade some way or the other to 13.04 ? [13:30] because the kernel is more recent, probably has better support and I know that the 64 bit kubuntu ISO can be booted off a USB stick [13:31] you can sure, but the biggest issue is booting into Kubuntu once you install [13:31] hmmm :( what do u suggest me to do now ? [13:31] wasn't that your biggest issue? [13:31] that you can't reboot into kubuntu once you install it [13:31] mauro:ping [13:31] mauro_: ping [13:31] shadeslayer : yes, that was [13:32] classicchins_: yeah, so 13.04 doesn't have that issue AFAIK [13:32] shadeslayer: lemme try rebooting now .. i ll ping u here once i am done for now.. lets continue upgrading discussion later .. [13:32] okay [13:32] here's the thing [13:32] :) [13:32] k [13:32] if you can reboot into kubuntu, awesome [13:32] then you don't need to upgrade [13:33] but if you can't, then you'll need to download 13.04 and install that [13:33] shadeslayer: Even i hope it will reboot .. if it fails, again i ll have to download and install 13.04 and see if it works fine ! [13:33] cool :) [13:33] shadeslayer : rebooting.. cya later once i do login after reboot :) [13:34] :) [13:37] @shadeslayer : m on mob now.. Its a failure again :( [13:37] classicchins: thought so [13:38] classicchins: please download the 64 bit 13.04 ISO [13:38] note that only the 64 bit one works [13:38] the 32 bit one doesn't have grub-efi [13:39] Shadeslayer: from mobile now.. It's a failure again :( [13:39] oh [13:40] classicchins: please download the 64 bit 13.04 ISO [13:40] note that only the 64 bit one works [13:40] the 32 bit one doesn't have grub-efi [13:40] classicchins: ^^ [13:40] In boot menu ... I had 2 options.. One for mac and other to load linux.. When i chose linux it failed andbasked to insert boot device [13:40] :( [13:41] I am trying 64 bit onw [13:41] Now again i ll have to wait for 1 day to get 13.04 downloaded :( [13:43] classicchins: yeah, macs are horribkle [13:43] I've vowed never to get one again [13:44] Shadeslayer: lol.. Any ways.. Thanks for ya time.. Cya tomo :) [13:45] Shadeslayer: but i love mac n macos ;) [13:45] classicchins: heh, sure, but they charge you apple tax for no reason [13:46] I got swayed by the guy selling the laptop at the apple store [13:46] Shadeslayer : i know :( i wish they lay it off soon :( [13:47] lol, probably never going to happen [13:47] Lol [13:47] why do you think they have billions in the bank [13:47] True that ;) [13:47] * shadeslayer will get a thinkpad + beefy desktop next year [13:47] my MBP is now > 2 years old [13:47] probably going to die by next year [13:48] Hmmm.. [13:49] Shadeslayer: any ways :( cya around tomo once i try with 13.04 [13:49] Hope that will work :( [13:49] it will [13:50] Hope it ll [13:50] Or else m going to hang myself.. Lol [13:50] Cya.. Thanks a lot again :) [13:51] shadeslayer: do you run kubuntu on your macbook ? [13:52] ikonia: yes [13:52] which year macbook is it ? [13:52] 8,2 [13:53] how do you find it ? [13:53] depends, I had *alot* of issues when I bought it [13:53] which was in late mid 2011 [13:53] s/late// [13:53] a lot of issues with it as a device, or a lot of issues running kubuntu on it [13:54] the latter [13:54] primarily because the kernel didn't have proper hardware support [13:54] yes, hence my questioning, [13:54] it's alot better now [13:54] due you dual boot it with mac OS, or pure kubuntu ? [13:55] ikonia: I've done both in the past, but I have OS X now because sometimes I have to call up apple support for part replacements and they only support OS X fore debugging [13:55] so far I've had my battery and HDD replaced ( over the course of 2 years ) [13:55] shadeslayer: how do you manage the booting ? [13:55] that's shockingly bad luck for hardware failure [13:55] ikonia: I use refind which allows me to directly boot the kernel [13:55] I need to make a short cut to command on kde desktop like sudo dolphin /var/www [13:55] ss_haze: you could put a desktop file with : kdesudo dolphin [13:56] shadeslayer: so you basically put a layer into the efi setup, [13:56] ah [13:56] not sure if dolphin takes arguments [13:56] okay it does [13:56] so I create .desktop file [13:56] I forgot this [13:56] ikonia: kinda, EFI allows you to run additional scripts once it sets up everything [13:56] refind is just a EFI script [13:57] which allows you to choose between OS's/Kernels and even allows you to boot grub EFI [13:57] kernel stub booting is necessary on the 8,2 because with grub efi something goes wrong with the radeon card [13:57] but works perfectly with kernel stub booting [13:59] ikonia: though the hardware itself is bad in certain ways [13:59] ikonia: for eg the aluminium shell gets dented easily [13:59] I dropped it a couple of times and one of the edges is pressed in [14:00] then it has heating issues because the body is all aluminium [14:00] shadeslayer: I concur, it's a mixed bag of good/bad [14:00] yep [14:00] but I won't ever buy another MBP again [14:00] too much apple tax [14:01] I was curious to how you'd found it with kubuntu and especially the boot management [14:01] Get a Dell / Thinkpad + 3 year warranty [14:01] it's a shame how some manufacturers won't supply drivers for linux users , altho most HW is supported there some anomalies that are constantly ignored. Lexmark (most) and Creative SB CAO132 are a couple of examples [14:01] I'm sat here now on my second thinkpad with perfect support and stability [14:01] ikonia: well ... I can definitely say that the average person who buys a MBP won't be able to run Kubuntu on it [14:01] you'll need to mess with too many things [14:01] BluesKaj: apple is an exception to the rule, they do make it %101 clear when you buy and in support that their hardware/software platform is a black box [14:02] ^^ [14:02] ikonia, and with most things apple , you pay for support , correct ? [14:02] btw with Windows 8.1 coming up TPM chips will become mandatory [14:03] BluesKaj: partly, there is a good warranty [14:03] so not sure how much I can trust computers with 8.1 [14:03] BluesKaj: I have an extended warranty [14:03] cost me 300 USD I think [14:04] gives you a extended 2 year cover period which does not involve the battery [14:04] but I managed to talk them into replacing mine for free [14:04] never owned any apple prods , altho my daughter has an IMac which has a dead HDD ,and replacement is really complicated and expensive. [14:05] yep, if you go through the official channels it's super expensive :< [14:05] so she bought a lenovo thru her friend'scompany , saving about 40% [14:06] whoa [14:06] * shadeslayer needs to find people at lenovo :P [14:06] then I can buy a thinkpad for super cheap prices xD [14:06] I'm waiting for a thinkpad with a Intel 4400 chip + a FHD display [14:07] and that's less than 1.5 KG's :P [14:09] ok , bbl ... gotta check some things [14:11] hello === smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw === benmoose is now known as SonikkuAmerica [16:37] Hi, has anyone here had any luck running xen?

It won't even respond to crtl-alt-del at that stage, and I have to pull the plug :( [16:41] jcgs: sounds like a hardware problem/incomaptability [16:41] jcgs: what's the last thing it does on screen [16:42] jcgs: try to not to cross-post questions across mulitple channel too please. === benmoose is now known as SonikkuAmerica [16:53] ikonia: i definitely have hardware virtualization, and it's enabled in bios. The last thing on screen is either the kubuntu logo (if booting with splash) or lots of * starting... type entries (if using nosplash) [16:53] ikonia: will it be listed anywhere in a log file, that sort of thing? [16:53] jcgs: note it down, boot it withou the splash [16:55] ikonia: will be writing for quite some time. I've only see it claim to be starting lightdm once though, and it still hung after that :( [16:55] just get the last one or two entries [16:55] or get anyone that it hangs on [16:55] kk [16:55] it doesn't seem to get stuck doing anything though... it seems to do everything it says it's doing sucessfully [17:06] ikonia: it failed again :( the last two things were * stopping [OK] * starting CUPS printer spooler/server [OK] [17:06] ikonia: i think it's stopped on the cups one a lot === FReaper is now known as FlameReaper [17:10] it shouldn't be stopping anything [17:10] it should be starting [17:17] ikonia: it stops lots of things [17:18] like "restore sound cards mixer states [17:18] ikonia: going to have dinner now, but will leave IRC open. === SonikkuAmerica is now known as useiton === useiton is now known as SonikkuAmerica === FReaper is now known as FlameReaper === SonikkuAmerica36 is now known as SonikkuAmerica === moji_ is now known as moji [18:25] Is there a KDE plasmoid that will hold the mouse pointer locked in place?
