lordievaderGood morning.07:55
Kiranoshm any reason to why kubuntu recommends 32bit version?09:38
Kiranosubuntu switched to recommend 64bit09:38
lordievaderKiranos: See this email thread: http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/Fwd-ubuntu-release-Please-promote-64-bit-images-by-default-on-the-download-pages-td5038359.html09:40
Kiranosthanks will read09:41
Kiranoslordievader: though I dont agree with the email :)09:43
Kiranosthink 64 should be default, memory limitation alone09:43
lordievaderKiranos: As explained on the mailing, PAE is standard enabled. So no memory limitation ;)09:44
Kiranosyea I guess :)09:45
StFSHi. After upgrading to 13.10 I'm noticing that my chrome windows aren't being grouped as they were before. On each desktop I'm seeing a separate "indicator" (sorry, don't know the right term for it) in my task bar instead of one group. If I start a new chrome window then the grouping returns.10:26
StFSis there some way for me to fix this?10:26
StFShmm... I'm also noticing that the Flip Switch effect (on alt+tab) just doesn't work, I just tried enabling it but I always seem to use the same window flipper.10:44
jussiStFS: systemsettings/window behaviour is your friend (yes, evil people changed things)10:45
StFSjussi: well... I found that "Automatically group similar windows" was unchecked so I checked that... I10:48
StFSI'm not seeing a change yet but that may just be that I need to wait.10:48
jussiStFS: I was responding to the flipswitch thing10:48

charlieHi. I have installed Mozilla Firefox (with the button from the menu). How can I launch it now?11:17
AciD`using 13.10, eclipse is almost unusable with a crash every 5 minutes or so. Is there a workaround to that critical bug ?11:18
lordievadercharlie: It should be in the menu -> Applications -> Internet.11:24
charlieBut it isn't. What command will allow me to run it from the terminal?11:24
lordievadercharlie: "firefox" if that fails run "sudo apt-get install firefox" to install Firefox again.11:25

cerhi every body. Do we still have the same old problem with kwin / xorg / kworker? They hog up a large amount of the cpu .... forget mepomuk, that yesterday kept peaking at 160% until I switche dit off.11:35
ceris anyone else having the same issue here?11:35
cer13.10 at 64 bit here, on Core 2 Xtreme 7900 2.8Ghz 8Gb RAM.11:37
charlieCer: I experienced the same problem with akregator.11:39
lordievadercharlie: Only had that issue once, never seen it with 13.10.11:40
lordievadercharlie: Err sorry ^ was for cer11:41
lordievadercer: ^^11:41
lordievadercer: What video card and driver are you using?11:41
certhanks lordievader .... I had to switch off nepomuk, but the kwin / xorg still there .... NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1600 M with nouveau driver.11:42
lordievadercer: Have you considered/tested the closed source driver? (p.s. I don't use Nepomuk either)11:43
cerlordievader: yes, same problem11:43
lordievadercer: Any hints in ~/.xsession-errors?11:44
cerlordievader: does not seem to have any strange message into it12:00
lordievadercer: I'm sorry I don't know what could be the issue here. You could ask around in #kde or try here again later, perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me comes in ;)12:06
cerlordievader: did you discivere what was the problem with yours?12:06

cerTm_T: so when you log in and chose unity, compiz and gvfs start, but they do not start otherwise?12:23
Tm_Tyes12:23
cerTm_T: mmmm .... do not want the whole "ubuntu desktop" only unity to give it a try12:23
cersorry jussi12:23
cerTm_T: in the past, gvfs daemon started and gave you some troubles with some kde applications12:24
cerTm_T: and gnome key ring12:24
Tm_Tcer: to be honest I don't remember having issues having Kubuntu and Ubuntu-desktop (unity) for years now12:27
cerTm_T: so, you run them at the same time on the same machine?12:29
cerTm_T: (well not AT THE SAME TIME, they are just installed AT THE SAME TIME :D ....)12:30
drbobbNVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 310M] here: something is broken about the driver in 13.10. When my laptop returns from sleep mode, the screen is all garbled.12:34
lordievaderdrbobb: Are you using Nouveau or the closed source one?12:36
drbobbalso having serious issues with Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727]12:36
drbobblordievader: the nvidia driver12:37
lordievaderdrbobb: Do you require the closed source one? You could try switching.12:37
drbobbnvidia-319 specifically12:38
drbobblordievader: I'm not sure nouveau works at all with my macine12:38
drbobbworks, as in supports the native resolution12:38
cerdrbobb: did you black list the nouveau driver and un-blacklist the nvidia driver (if you have upidated form an old kubuntu version)? (Well, we need more info on you system. uname -ram first of all)12:38
drbobb3.11.0-12-generic, x86_6412:39
drbobbthe nvidia driver loads for sure, I'm seeing the nvidia logo as X11 loads12:40
cerdrbobb: good .... mmmm .... any fail / erro or warning in dmesg?12:41
cerdrbobb: (can you also do lsmod | grep -i nvidia and lsmod | grep -i nouv, please)?12:41
drbobbthere's some warning about the VGA console or rather, how it's not configured12:42
cerdrbobb: specifications of you machine and monitor?12:43

drbobbhttp://pastebin.kde.org/pqpubhssy12:51
cerdrbobb: strange, this seems to be ok .... could you please pastebinit the output of dmesg?12:54
cerdrbobb: I was looking around, and you are not the only one to experience this problem on the G560 .... have you tried using bumblebee instead of the straight nvidia drivers?12:57
cerdrbobb: the probelm you describe seems to be connected with the stright driver offloading and then not realoading .... it is probably due to the fact that it is not optimised for laptop.12:57
drbobbhere you are: http://goo.gl/AObr2e12:57
drbobbnever heard of bumblebee, is there a PPA for it?12:58
cerdrbobb: it is in the repository12:59
cerdrbobb: developed by NVIDIA specifically for laptop cards and solving the probelm of offloading / reloading12:59
drbobbalso, I'm sure loads of ppl have issues with the BCM4313, I googled a lot but just got confused because most of the available advice is seriously outdated12:59
drbobbthe description of bumblebee makes it seem irrelevant here, because it seems to be designed for systems with more than one VGA adapter13:01
cerdrbobb: mmmm .... not really, that is not the major issue.13:02
cerdrbobb: the other thing .... are you trying to use a 1024 x 768 plymouth background?13:02
drbobbDescription-en: NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux13:02
drbobbno Optimus here13:02
drbobbcer: frankly I have no idea how plymouth is configured13:03
cerdrbobb: in your dmesg .... it seems you are trying to you vesafb rather than vesa. vesfab can create some incomptaibility with the stright drivers.13:04
drbobbcer: how do I change that?13:04
cerdrbobb: mmmm .... I would do this (just because I am supposed to go back to work): install nouveau and see how things pan out. If nouveau does not work, have a go at bumblebee.13:06
cerdrbobb: I am currently using nouveau on a 9102 x 1200 screen for example and it works better than the original propritary driver (in 2D).13:07
drbobbcer: but no 3d support, right?13:07
cerdrbobb: yes, int the last version but not for all cards http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/13:09
cerdrbobb: have a go and let us know. Back to work for me!13:11
kunguzI can seem to play over SSH without a login in lightdm. Any ideas?13:14
drbobbanybody able to guide me with fixing the BCM4313?13:22
drbobbat this time I'm forced to connect to the net via my android phone, because the wl driver seems to be very picky about the access points it will work with13:23
lordievaderdrbobb: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx you should use the "wl" driver.13:24
lordievaderdrbobb: Ah sorry, didn't read the question correctly.13:24
lordievaderdrbobb: Does the access point have "special" settings, in other words play around with encryption settings and the like to see if that improves things.13:25
drbobbnope. I don't own the office access point so I can't do that, but it does WPA2 enterprise, AND an open network, and none work13:27

geniiMangaKaDenza: Setting a repository/PPA for a previous distribution makes your warranty and support options null and void... :)   You could try, install whatever it is from there, then remove the PPA so it doesn't pull in other unwanted stuff. But highly NOT recommended. Also if you get dependency warnings from hell while installing whatever it is, you've been warned and will get no sympathy here.14:59

jack-lordievader, nothing special i'm aware of15:05
jack-plain kubuntu-quantal15:05
lordievaderjack-: Quantal? That is quite a while ago. Perhaps time to do a fresh install of Saucy?15:06
jack-maybe, yeah15:07
jack-i leeched it already, but my (new15:07
jack-) burner refuses to recognize an empty dvd+r15:08
jack-tough luck :/15:08
lordievaderjack-: Use a usb stick ;)15:08
jack-if i had one...15:08
geniiChardot: Unfortunately, I do not have much knowledge of your issue... Have you checked here for known issues ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro    ...I would think the 13.04 install instructions most likely are the closest if you can find your model there15:09
jack-need my usb port for the interweb thing atm, anyway (it's an old laptop)15:09
lordievaderjack-: For the install you don't need a network connection ;)15:10
jack-true of course15:10
jack-but later...15:10
lordievaderjack-: Then you can remove the usb stick ;)15:10
jack-mmh15:10
jack-so - buy a new 16gb usbstick? ok15:11
lordievaderjack-: At least more than 4 GB, but I prefer more than 8 GB.15:12
jack-same here15:12
jack-so 16gb it is15:12
excognachi just installed kubuntu 12.04 on a desktop pc. (samsung SyncMaste943nw monitor, core i5, 4GB ram)during installation the display was wider, after installation login screen is still overly wide but then it's all striped and i can;t see anything15:15
excognacsame happens if i try to run kubuntu from live dvd.15:16
excognacshall i set something in bios?15:17
jack-lordievader, is saucy a LTS release?15:21
lordievaderjack-: No, Precise (12.04) and the next release Trusty Tahr (14.04) are LTS.15:22
jack-ok15:22
jack-how long until trusty gets released?15:23
jack-3 months?15:23
lordievaderjack-: Trusty will be released in the 4th month of 2014 (14<-year.04<-month)15:24
jack-omfg, ok15:24
jack-so waiting is not an option15:24

excognacgenii: yes, ty in advance15:33
excognacgenii: oh lol, sorry,no i'm on my laptop. as everything works fine with that installation exept graphical interface15:35
excognacgenii: also, for some reason i dont have a grub boot menu. kubuntu is the very forst and only os on that machine15:38
geniiexcognac: It is not a BIOS issue, more that X needs to have a specific resolution to use when it starts lightdm. Please ctrl-alt-F1 and login by command-line. Then: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf    and to add at the end of the file: display-setup-script=xrandr --output default --mode 1280x768          ...and then ctrl-x to exit, choose Y when prompted to save the file, then enter when it gives the filename to save it as.  After back at command15:39
geniiprompt:  sudo service lightdm restart     ...then it should come up automatically again, hopefully with usable screen. If restart doesn't dump you into login, use alt-F7 to try and get back to it15:39
geniiexcognac: When only one OS, grub doesn't bother with the menu15:39
omidhi15:40
omidany one from ua15:40
geniiexcognac: You can use the instructions above with the lightdm.conf edit  with different resolutions than the 1280x768 that was given, but hopefully that one works first15:40

jdolesHello, I try to use Kubuntu, but it fails basically completely.18:59
jdolesA binary is missing.18:59
jdolesDo you even test this stuff just once when you make an update?18:59
jdolesI am going to take a wild guess:18:59
jdolesNo18:59
jdolesWhy are you so careless?19:00
jdolesAll you need to do is 1) build KDE 2) check that one can login, move Windows around, raise Windows, start applications 3) upload it 4) update the website.19:00
jdolesAre you really this stupid that you cannot even get this right?19:00
lordievaderjdoles: Actually we do test most of what is released. However due to lack of manpower some thins might slip by.19:01
lordievaderjdoles: I'd say become a Kubuntu Tester!19:01
jdolesLack of man power is not an excuse; I could do better by myself.19:01
lordievaderjdoles: So join the Kubuntu Testers Team!19:01
jdoleslordievader: I think human testing is a waste of time.19:01
jdolesI also think that you merely suggesting that shows that the process is fundamentally wrong.19:02
jdolesHow many commercial companies do you think are out there that test manually for core-features?19:02
jdolesMS also has tons of automated tests.19:03
jdoleslordievader: anyway, how do I get KDE working *now*?19:05
jdolesOr is it just known to be broken until the next release which might never come?19:05
lordievaderjdoles: How can I help you if you don't state your problem?19:06

jdoleslordievader: is that enough information?19:14
jdoleslordievader: kde4-config output.19:14

=== gabor is now known as excognac
jdoleslordievader: why do you think I used startx?19:22
lordievaderjdoles: There can be many reasons...19:22
excognachow do i import/export all my kubuntu (well maybe it's better to say kde desktop) sttiong?19:23
jdoleslordievader: the reason is that kdm didn't "work"19:23
jdoleslordievader: and the reason for that is that that binary is nowhere to be found.19:23
excognac*settings19:23
jdoleslordievader: and the solution to this problem is simple: make sure the binary is installed, or make sure it's not being called.19:23
jdoleslordievader: so, find the "developer"/idiot who committed this, strip his commit rights, undo his commit, and reupload it. Done.19:24
jdolesIt's really not that complex.19:24
lordievaderjdoles: Well it is more complex than that. Precise is quite old.19:25
jdoleslordievader: it's checking out a branch and doing a bisect. Big deal.19:25
jdoleslordievader: but likely, a bisect is not even needed.19:26
jdolesThe usual way in which this is supposed to be fixed is asking "who broke it", but if there had been a proper test suite, this would never ever have been in a release.19:27
jdolesI don't really understand the concept of not having a test suite in an open-source project, where not everyone has a CS degree.19:27
jdolesI.e., they are amateurs.19:27
jdolesHow can you ever *not* write test suites in such a hostile environment?19:28

seattlegauchonicklas: are you looking for 'jockey'?23:40
nicklasseattlegaucho: is that supposed to be preinstalled? i ran xubuntu 13.04, and that had it in software sources settings23:41
seattlegauchoIt should be installed by default on Kubuntu23:42
nicklasseattlegaucho: i have activated testing repos, maybe it has been removed when updating23:42
seattlegauchosearch for 'jockey' in the repositories23:42
nicklasseattlegaucho: not really sure, but i think it was preinstalled when i had just installed kubuntu23:42
seattlegauchothere's one of kde, gtk and text ... the latter you can run it from the command line23:43
seattlegauchokubuntu should pre-install it and it would be under the Systems menu23:43
nicklasseattlegaucho: yeah, i know what jockey is, but just thought maybe its not preinstalled anymore23:43
nicklasyeah23:43
seattlegauchoit is in 13.0423:43
nicklasis it jockey-kde or jockey-qt or something like that for kde version?23:44
seattlegauchojockey-kde for KDE23:45
nicklasi think that having hardware drivers in software settings in xubuntu 13.04 was just an experiment, casue in xubuntu 13.10 jockey comes preinstalled again23:45
seattlegauchojockey-common (a dependency) also provides 'jockey-text' AFAIK23:46
nicklasjockey-text is cli?23:46
seattlegauchoyep23:46
nicklasbut i think jockey-kde installs the cli version, jockey-kde is just a frontend i think?23:47
seattlegauchocould be ... I haven't used it in a while23:47
nicklasoh? how do you install your drivers?23:48
seattlegauchoI mostly buy hardware with supported drivers ... and recently more and more drivers are available by default ... so I haven't had the need in a while23:48
seattlegaucho... I avoid Broadcomm wifi chipsets ... which were my worst nightmare23:49
nicklasits for my ati card23:50
nicklasthink i will try to look for a laptop with support for open drivers when this crashes23:51
