[00:06] <dougiel> I installed 13.04 on sda then I added a harddrive and install win7 on sdb (sdb1) then I installed 13.04 on sdb5 I let the installer adjust partition table/size and now I want to install grub on sdb but I keep getting "source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory" can someone clear up what I am missing?
[00:07] <Gsport> hey
[00:07] <Gsport> wellcome
[03:18] <crunk> test
[03:18] <crunk> exit

[05:32] <mint_> Is it true kde with comp off is the fastest de for 3D?
[09:35] <maiz> hi, i'm on kubuntu 13.10, and when i'm connected to an openvpn server with the network-manager; i cannot connect anymore to programs like: pidgin, konversation, kvirc, it founds the server, but gets stuck on "Connecting..."; browsing works fine; what could be causing this? thanks
[09:35] <maiz> 13.04 i meant
[09:57] <maiz> actually even "ping" doesn't work
[09:59] <Tm_T> maiz: how ping doesn't work?
[09:59] <maiz> Tm_T: PING www.google.com (74.125.195.106) 56(84) bytes of data.
[09:59] <maiz> and then nothing
[09:59] <Tm_T> hmmm
[09:59] <Tm_T> maiz: sounds like routing issue
[10:00] <maiz> :(
[10:01] <Tm_T> maiz: if you the following command in commandline: "route"
[10:01] <Tm_T> maiz: what is your default route then?
[10:02] <Tm_T> maiz: that with vpn, ofcourse
[10:02] <Tm_T> maiz: compare to what you have without vpn
[10:02] <maiz> Tm_T: http://pastebin.com/2pWsDDPN
[10:02] <maiz> brb sorry, if you have an idea you can write it i'll it right after
[10:19] <Tm_T> maiz: looks like ~all your traffic are now pointed to go through vpn
[10:19] <Tm_T> maiz: but I suspect it's not actually routing it forward, I recommend contacting your vpn provider
[10:57] <maiz> thanks Tm_T 
[11:01] <maiz> Tm_T: here they say they don't block any port: http://www.vpnbook.com/features
[12:05] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[12:11] <Tm_T> maiz: ah, what I was talking about has nothing to do with ports, but routing traffic
[12:11] <maiz> Tm_T: hm ok, so is there something that i can do on my end?
[12:11] <maiz> morning
[13:01] <BluesKaj> I have something wrong with muon , when I try to "configure software sources" in "settings" , muon just updates and doesn't open the repos list. Strange behaviour 
[13:03] <noiro> hey guys, I've got an issue with the LTS where plasma crashes on bootup after changing from autologin to login
[13:04] <noiro> Is there any way I can get into the system to fix it?
[13:04] <BluesKaj> ok, now i see what's going on the new muon discover has the source edit options instead 
[13:04] <BluesKaj> noiro, have you updated /upgraded lately 
[13:05] <noiro> BluesKaj: somewhat. But I can't atm. I don't even know how to get command line up at this point since KDE doesn't support Terminal
[13:05] <noiro> well, it doesn't support shortcut key terminal and plasma is dead. Does Kubuntu support a 'safe mode' type thing?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> ctrl+alt +F1-F6 will bring up a TTY (virtual terminal), run your commands then run startx 
[13:09] <BluesKaj> noiro, if you can;t get to TTY then choose recovery kernel in grub , and perhaps you need to update grub too, sudo update-grub  
[13:09] <noiro> I can get to TTY. When logging in, plasma just crashes. 
[13:11] <BluesKaj> which LTS noiro ?
[13:12] <noiro> 12.04
[13:13] <noiro> Looks like there is only 126kb of updates though, not sure if that will fix the crashing of plasma. Is there a way to reload it?
[13:13] <BluesKaj> ok , update/upgrade/dist-upgrade , and sudo update-grub , as well ,at the TTY , then reboot 
[13:17] <noiro> Alright kaj, rebooted, let's see if it crashes
[13:18] <noiro> I installed a minimalist package to get rid of effects (I forget the name), if that affects anything, but it worked when I first installed it
[13:18] <noiro> Yeah, I get: Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 1786 Signal: Bus error (7)
[13:21] <BluesKaj> noiro, do you have the kubuntu backports enabled in the sources.list ?
[13:21] <noiro> Blues, I'm running a default config. Are they enabled by default?
[13:22] <BluesKaj> no ,  you have to uncomment them or add , i've forgotten
[13:23] <noiro> where are they located again? I'll nav to them and edit with nano
[13:24] <BluesKaj> noiro, it's a method of installing a newer version of kde desktop which brings plasma libs etc with it 
[13:24] <noiro> wait, nvm, you said kubuntu backports? Where are those on the file? 
[13:24] <smartboyhw> !ppa-purge
[13:25] <smartboyhw> ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[13:26] <noiro> I'm not even seeing kubuntu ppa backports in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:26] <noiro> just deb and deb-src for ubuntu precise and security
[13:27] <tsimpson> look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[13:27] <tsimpson> it's probably named like kubuntu-ppa-backports-precise.list
[13:27] <BluesKaj> noiro, ,  
[13:27] <BluesKaj> deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[13:27] <BluesKaj> deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[13:28] <BluesKaj> my archaive is in Canada , noiro , but it should still work 
[13:29] <noiro> I see us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[13:30] <noiro> It doesn't look commented out. What am I supposed to do with it?
[13:30] <BluesKaj> yup, that's it  , make sure there's no # in front 
[13:31] <noiro> would a sudo apt-get purge plasma-desktop && apt-get install plasma-desktop work?
[13:31] <BluesKaj> dunno , never tried it 
[13:32] <noiro> nope, couldn't open lock file >.< And I was root
[13:33] <BluesKaj> close muon if it's still open , and your sources.list as well 
[13:39] <lordievader> Good afternoon.
[13:46] <ruediger> hi
[13:47] <lordievader> Hey ruediger 
[13:49] <ruediger> I'm trying to install Kubuntu on a thinkpad l430 but after I select "Start Kubuntu" in grub nothing happens.  The display is on but black.
[13:49] <noiro> Screw it, I'm going xubuntu.
[13:52] <ruediger> (I'm trying to boot kubuntu from a usb drive.  I already tried different usb ports)
[13:52] <shadeslayer> hm ...
[13:53] <shadeslayer> ruediger: what release is this?
[13:53] <ruediger> 13.04 amd64
[13:54] <lordievader> ruediger: And how did you create the live-usb?
[13:55] <ruediger> lordievader: on an osx system https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles I already used the drive to install kubuntu on an older dell.  So it should be working
[13:56] <lordievader> ruediger: Hmm I see, as a work around you could try the 12.04 image and upgrade that one to 13.04 (or even use the alternate cd of 12.04)
[14:01] <ruediger> lordievader: thanks.  I'll give it a try
[14:02] <lordievader> Good luck!
[14:42] <BluesKaj> !tr
[14:46] <ruediger> shadeslayer, lordievader: thanks.  I forgot to disable UEFI secure boot.
[14:47] <shadeslayer> 0.o
[14:47] <shadeslayer> not sure how that matters because if it boots it's good
[14:47] <shadeslayer> you get to the installer
[14:47] <shadeslayer> so UEFI secure boot does work
[14:50] <ruediger> shadeslayer: I disabled it and now it works fine
[14:50] <shadeslayer> huh
[14:50] <shadeslayer> weird
[15:24] <kunguz> I have linked a disk to an user home directory /media/username/disk to /home/username/disk. I have set the permissions to 750, and I have already chown the disk to that specific user. There are git repositories inside it. But unfortunately git clone remotely returns could not read from the location.
[15:24] <kunguz> Any ideas? on how to solve it?
[15:24] <kunguz> By the way there is already a .ssh folder that contains authorized_keys
[17:08] <daemongnome_> just leave it for 30 seconds and it will shut down 
[17:08] <daemongnome_> or choose log out
[17:08] <daemongnome_> and you can shut it down from there
[17:18] <daemongnome_> does anyone have any idea how to get the kde android theme to work?
[17:58] <calwig> hello
[17:58] <lordievader> Hey calwig 
[17:58] <calwig> Where are the kubuntu settings for KDE Desktop Widgets?
[17:58] <calwig> would you happen to use Widgets?
[17:59] <lordievader> calwig: Rightclick the widget -> settings?
[18:00] <calwig> sure, but all widgets fall thru a general network setting, does it use the general network session settings?
[18:00] <lordievader> Phew I guess so.
[18:08] <calwig> lordievader, setting up a proxy on the widgets 
[18:10] <lordievader> calwig: Try finding out how to setup a system wide proxy.
[18:17] <mR0rI0n> hellp 
[18:27] <daemongnome_> whats up mr0rl0n?
[19:35] <NickDGE> anyone willing to help me troubleshoot a screen brightness adjustment problem/kubuntu/acer 5750
[19:49] <KpycNuK> So what is your problem?  You can't regulate it?
[19:57] <KpycNuK> NickDGE ? :3
[20:10] <NickDGE> phunyguy ,the guide that you gave me for my brightness control problem - unfortunately when i update grub it gives me a syntax error on the line provided in the guide to add
[20:11] <NickDGE> KpycNuK yep?
[20:11] <NickDGE> oh sorry 
[20:11] <NickDGE> yeah, cant regulate it
[20:11] <NickDGE> i tried this 
[20:11] <NickDGE> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireS3
[20:11] <NickDGE> but unfortunately when i update grub it gives me an error on the exact same line i added 
[20:16] <KpycNuK> It isn't help. But what shows you, when you  type         find /sys/devices/ -type d -name acpi*
[20:22] <KpycNuK> NickDGE I had forgotten to use nick for notification :3
[20:22] <KpycNuK> show the output from:    find /sys/devices/ -type d -name acpi*
[20:22] <NickDGE> well 
[20:23] <NickDGE> if after i run sudo-update grub and it returns a syntax error
[20:23] <NickDGE> i presume the procedure didnt go as planned 
[20:23] <NickDGE> or it did
[20:23] <NickDGE> or linux just isnt loose like that 
[20:26] <slatenails> the help page says "sudo update-grub", not "sudo-update grub"
[20:26] <NickDGE> i didnt type it out here right
[20:26] <slatenails> ah, right
[20:29] <NickDGE> the command update-grub returns an error on the same line i pasted, Syntax ")" 
[20:48] <genii> NickDGE: You originally wrote that you issued: sudo-update-grub       ..which is not quite the same as: sudo update-grub
[20:56] <Anne-senpai> Hi, all.  Possibly complex question:  I'm running 13.04 (32bit), 3.8.0-30-generic kernel, and I want to ditch Noveau for the proprietary nVidia drivers (video card is GeForce GT 540M according to lspci).  I have seen references to a linux-restricted-modules and linux-restricted-modules-common pair of packages to install, as well as envy and envyNG (neither current).  I had tried this once before, but wound up with my screen @ 640x480 
[20:56] <Anne-senpai> centered on the screen with the rest black (the entire usable area was the centered 640x480 box, mouse wouldn't enter outer area, changing resolution did nothing at all, etc)
[20:56] <Anne-senpai> Ergo, does this:  http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html  work?
[20:57] <Roey> hi
[20:57] <Roey> BluesKaj:  hello
[20:59] <NickDGE> genii, as stated before, i typed it out wrong here. i can make out the difference between sudo update-grub and sudo-update grub
[20:59] <Roey> I'm on Kubuntu "Quantal". Using KDE 4.11.  When I press my cursor against a screen edge I've assigned a Desktop Effect to, the edge lights up in blue, but nothing happens past that.
[21:48] <vijay13> can some one please suggest link to learn kdebug 
[21:48] <vijay13> i'm new to kdevelopment 
[23:44] <maliks72> flash plugin is not working properly in my kubuntu 12.04......it works on you tube but not on other website?
