yalexHello are there any additional packages I need to install to get mtp working in kubuntu? I'm trying to access a Samsung Galaxy S304:00
=== jalcine_ is now known as jalcine
MangaKaDenzaAllright, here's the deal04:25
MangaKaDenzaSo, I accidentally closed my netbook while it was still running, in a ubuntu DE04:25
MangaKaDenzathen, when I opened it back up, the networking was down...04:25
MangaKaDenzaso I rebooted...04:25
MangaKaDenzaafter I chose kubuntu from the grub, it just stays at the glowy kubuntu logo04:26
MangaKaDenzacan someone tell me how to fix that?04:26
=== jalcine is now known as jalcine_
valorieMangaKaDenza: sounds like you have a messed-up session04:31
valorieyou'll probably have to reboot04:31
MangaKaDenza...I did...04:31
valorieoh, oops04:31
valoriebad reading on my part04:32
valoriehave you booted into Kub successfully in the past?04:32
MangaKaDenzayep04:32
MangaKaDenzamanymany times04:32
valorieand what version are you running?04:33
MangaKaDenza13.1004:34
valoriehmmmm04:35
valoriei've had really good luck with this release04:35
=== jalcine_ is now known as jalcine
valorieI guess what i would do in your place is use a console to mv ~/.kde ~/kde-old04:36
valorieand restart04:36
valoriethen start moving stuff back, if that's successfull04:36
valorieit sounds to me like something was corrupted during sleep04:37
MangaKaDenzaI guess so04:37
MangaKaDenzavalorie, how do I disable cups ?04:39
valorieMangaKaDenza: I know that sounds a bit drastic, but I don't know enough to suggest anything else04:39
valorieconsider the source04:39
valoriedunno, it's been years since I used cups04:40
AddleMangaKaDenza: The startup file is in /etc/init. If you just rename the relevant file so it doesn't end in .conf, it shouldn't start anymore.04:45
MangaKaDenzaAddle, ... won't that not help me?04:45
AddleMangaKaDenza: Easy to undo, as well. Just rename it back.04:46
yalex Hello are there any additional packages I need to install to get mtp working in kubuntu? I'm trying to access a Samsung Galaxy S304:46
MangaKaDenzaso... that would fix it?04:46
AddleMangaKaDenza: Not sure what you mean. Just answering "How do I disable cups?"04:46
AddleMangaKaDenza: Not sure about the other issue, though.04:46
AddleMangaKaDenza: I think if I had it get stuck like that, first I'd see if I can actually log in on a text console by hitting ALT+F1. Not sure that will work if you're stuck at the Kubuntu logo, though.04:47
MangaKaDenzaer...04:47
AddleMangaKaDenza: If it dies before that, perhaps I'd try and get the bootup showing text as it boots instead of hiding it from me.04:48
MangaKaDenzahow does one log in via text?04:48
MangaKaDenzaalso... it doesn't load the desktop manager04:48
MangaKaDenzawindow manager... thing04:48
MangaKaDenzalike... the windows in kubuntu aren't framed04:48
MangaKaDenzabut ubuntu and x are04:48
AddleMangaKaDenza: Well, assuming the system has booted that far (guessing not), just hitting ALT+F1 should switch to one.04:48
MangaKaDenzawell, thats in the advanced options for kubuntu04:49
AddleOh, I see. Then valorie's move the .kde files might be a good idea.04:49
MangaKaDenzawhen I boot in recovery mode04:49
AddleAh04:49
AddleBut when you're not booting in recovery, it just sits on the Kubuntu logo and never gets past it, right?04:50
MangaKaDenzayah04:50
AddleAt that point, I'd be reviewing the log files to look for clues as to why it didn't boot, previously.04:50
AddleThey'll be in /var/log.04:51
MangaKaDenzavar/log ... which file then?04:51
MangaKaDenzaboot?04:51
AddleMostly dmesg, I'd say.04:52
MangaKaDenzathere are four!04:53
MangaKaDenzao.o04:53
MangaKaDenzawhich one?04:53
AddleMangaKaDenza: Yeah, the logs get "rotated".04:53
AddleI believe the current boot would be dmesg, and the previous one, dmesg.0, and so on. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.04:54
AddleThe gzipped ones can be read with zless. e.g. zless dmesg.1.gz04:55
MangaKaDenzathree is the latest one04:55
MangaKaDenzaoh nvm04:55
AddleAh, I guess it rotates the logs slightly differently than I thought. Good to know.04:57
AddleWell, the times/dates are obviously a good way to know. :)04:57
MangaKaDenzahmm... i don't see anyone04:58
MangaKaDenzaer04:58
MangaKaDenzaanything relevant04:58
AddleYou can test out this going to a virtual console, BTW. In X, you use CTRL+ALT and then a function key representing which console you want. Generally, F1 to F6 are available text consoles, and F7 is where X windows sits.04:59
AddleHowever, outside of X, it's just ALT + the function key.04:59
AddleAnyways, generally useful info for debugging, so I thought I'd mention it.04:59
MangaKaDenzahmm...05:00
MangaKaDenzaf1 gives me some simple looking page05:00
MangaKaDenzather rest are just blinking cursors05:00
AddleIt should have "Ubuntu 13.10 YOURHOSTNAMEHERE tty1" and a login prompt.05:01
AddleThe others should have the same, but a different tty number for which console it is.05:01
AddleYou can type your username and password there and login normally.05:01
MangaKaDenzathey're all blank!05:01
MangaKaDenzawait.. so do that when booting?05:01
AddleHuh, maybe something to do with it being a recovery boot. I've never tried it, I admit.05:02
AddleThat only works once the system is basically started.05:02
MangaKaDenzaah05:02
MangaKaDenzawell, I'll try that in a bit05:02
MangaKaDenzathank you05:02
AddleBefore that point, if you remove the kernel option for quiet (and I think splash), it should, I believe, show you the bootup messages as it goes instead of a pretty but uninformative Kubuntu logo.05:03
AddleHaven't done that in a while though. Let me look that up.05:03
AddleYep, I'm right. If you temporarily remove "quiet" and "splash", it will show the bootup messages.05:04
jalcineyou can see those messages with "dmesg"05:05
AddleIf you can't see the GRUB menu when you first start, hold SHIFT. Then select the proper startup option, and hit e. Then find those two words and remove them, and boot.05:05
AddleYep, that's what we were looking at in /var/log. He's in recovery, so he needs the ones from the previous boot.05:05
Addle(In another saved dmesg file)05:06
MangaKaDenzahmm05:07
Addlejalcine: For context, in normal boot, it sits at the Kubuntu logo and doesn't go on from there.05:10
Addlejalcine: He closed the lid of his laptop, and it didn't get out of sleep with a working network. Then he rebooted and it started doing that.05:12

jalcineI was curious with the new "compressed" memory thing in OS X Mavericks if Linux had something like that; and it looks like we have something that's been around for a while (of course)05:59
jalcinezram!05:59
jalcineIt used be to compcache but I'm trying it here with my 8GB of RAM and it's just a bit faster.05:59
Addlejalcine: Neat. Wonder if that would help this laptop. It has a "massive" 1GB of RAM.06:02
amichairI'm on 13.10, getting a lot of window freezes of various applications (not only kde), mostly Chrome -the  window is totally frozen, but minimize+restore it and it's back to normal. Is this a known issue? NVidia drivers maybe?06:03
Addleamichair: Haven't heard of it. I have NVidia and it's running fine, if that helps. Latest drivers in the repo. Although I notice Firefox seems to sort of hang occasionally a bit longer than I remember. Like being unresponsive for 15 seconds or something. But not anywhere else.06:14
amichairAddle: I'm seeing something else I think. Total window freeze for individual app windows (not simultaneously). If I minimize+restore the window shows its new state, so it's as if the window display stops being painted (even though input apparently works, with no feedback)06:16

AddleI wonder why the weather plasmoids sometimes lose the ability to get Environment Canada weather. Guessing a web site change. Sort of annoying.06:32
jalcineAddle: it probably can, I wanna do some benchmarks with it and try to "humanize" them06:33
jalcineAddle: I use yawp for my weather plasmoid06:33
Addlejalcine: Yep, I just started using it yesterday, but it just sits there at "yaWP is retrieving the list of cities from the internet, please wait".06:34
Addlejalcine: That's with Environment Canada, though. Other ones work. So I bet the web site change guess is right.06:35

u19809Hi all, I still run 12.10 precise and I wish to upgrade to the lastest version 13.10.  However my do-release-update says there is no upgrade path from precise to trusty... how can I proceed ?22:17
=== NightmareMoon is now known as Luna
starcraftmanu19809: Hi, Ubuntu only lets you directly upgrade to the next release. The easiest way to go directly to a later version is install from a cd the latest version. If you don't have a separate /home you need to back up and restore that after.22:26

MangaKaDenzais there any easy way to make a program avalible for a certian time of day?22:58
MangaKaDenzafor example22:58
MangaKaDenzaI want to use hexchat between the hours of... 3-9 pm22:58
MangaKaDenzahow do I does?22:58
starcraftmanu19809: you don't need to select the version to upgrade to, if you do an upgrade it's always to the immediate next version (at least with the regular upgrade). So if you are on 12.04, doing upgrade will take to 12.10, you can upgrade again after that to 13.04 and so on.23:04
MangaKaDenzahellooo?23:04
starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: Is that to prevent your own procrastination or managing other users?23:04
u19809thx .. upgrading now23:07
MangaKaDenzaso...23:08
MangaKaDenzaany ideas for timed programs?23:08
starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: I'm not big on using ACL, but if you set a cron that toggles the particular users execute permission on the bin during the window would that do?23:11
MangaKaDenzaACL?23:11
starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: Access control list, a more fine grained mechanism for controlling access to files.23:12
starcraftmanIf for say user x you removed execute permission for the program, he can't execute it.23:12
starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: Wiki page > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs23:13

starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: I'm not familiar with that program, if you installed it to your system path it should be under /usr/bin, though that'd put it under root control and you'd need to sudo to modify its acl.23:57
starcraftmanMangaKaDenza: If program is under /home or a user mounted drive, then sudo likely not required.23:58
