BluesKaj | Hiya folks | 11:32 |
AceKing | Has anyone else been having problems with Software Center crashes in 13.10 64 bit? | 11:49 |
BluesKaj | AceKing. it's still a bit unstable , no crashes here , but slow and clunky | 11:51 |
BluesKaj | I avoid it , use muon | 11:52 |
BluesKaj | if i need to find plg info | 11:53 |
BluesKaj | pkg | 11:53 |
AceKing | BluesKaj: OK, thank you | 11:54 |
AceKing | Another question I had... Yesterday, I was having a problem installing Wine. I found this website, (http://www.itworld.com/software/371219/install-wine-171-ubuntu-1310-saucy-salamander) and followed the instructions. After I finished, I was a little concerned about the first ppa that they had me add. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joe-yasi/yasi After I ran update/upgrade in Konsole, I noticed this file changed libsdl-image1.2. I deleted | 12:00 |
AceKing | the ppa, but I'm concerned about the file it changed. Any thoughts? | 12:00 |
FloodBotK1 | AceKing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:00 |
AceKing | oops | 12:01 |
=== patrick is now known as Guest46793 | ||
BluesKaj | AceKing. odd , that lib seems necessary for Simple Direct-Media Layer , but you can reinstall it | 12:05 |
AceKing | BluesKaj: OK, I'll do that. That is odd that they want people to install that ppa. I should have known better | 12:07 |
BluesKaj | wine should install without problems right from the repos , do you recall the error . AceKing ? | 12:10 |
Gallus | Hi, some1 else is having trouble comfiguring hsp/hfp bluetooth? | 12:12 |
AceKing | BluesKaj: Actually, I couldn't find it for some reason. I found Play On Linux, and Wine tricks, and wasn't sure if it installed Wine along with it. | 12:13 |
BluesKaj | just type wine in muon | 12:13 |
AceKing | BluesKaj: I did, but it wasn't coming up for some reason. | 12:14 |
BluesKaj | play on linux is wine in noob clothing | 12:14 |
BluesKaj | AceKing. make sure you have all your "universe" repos enabled in the sources list , then update and upgrade , then install wine | 12:16 |
Gallus | mine is showing wine, playonlinux and wine1.4 | 12:16 |
BluesKaj | Gallus. that seems right | 12:17 |
AceKing | BluesKaj: I just needed Wine to run TeamViewer. Usually, when I download the TeamViewer deb file, it automatically installs Wine. But I downloaded the 64 bit deb, and was getting a dependency error. So I figured If I installed Wine first it would work. It turned out that I had to install the 32 bit version for some reason | 12:17 |
Gallus | yep. mine is installed without problems. | 12:18 |
Gallus | i think default wine installs 32bits modules | 12:18 |
AceKing | Gallus: I usually have no problems installing TeamViewer 64bit, which automatically installs Wine. | 12:19 |
AceKing | Everything is installed now, so I am happy | 12:20 |
Gallus | mine is installed right, but is 32bits for sure | 12:20 |
AceKing | Thanks for the help. Time to get my butt in gear and head out. You guys have a great day! | 12:22 |
BluesKaj | same to you AceKing | 12:22 |
Gallus | so, anyone but me have trouble with hfp/hsp | 12:24 |
BluesKaj | Gallus. I never use hfp/hsp | 12:36 |

BluesKaj | Gallus. is your headphone bluetooth 2.0 / | 12:51 |
Gallus | yes | 12:54 |
Gallus | is bluetooth v. 2.1 | 12:54 |
BluesKaj | Gallus. what's hfp ? | 12:58 |
Gallus | hands free protocol | 12:59 |
Gallus | we have several protocols fpr bluetooth | 12:59 |
Gallus | basicaly a2dp is for soud/music | 13:00 |
Gallus | hfp and hsp are for recording voice | 13:00 |
Gallus | i tried same headset on windows machine. It works on A2dp when just listening, and when i need voice redording it switches for hfp/hsp protocol | 13:02 |
Gallus | in linux it dont change automaticaly, but you can change manualy | 13:03 |
Gallus | but my problem is sound is ok while i am in a2dp protocol, but when i switch to hfp/hsp, headset dont work | 13:04 |
Gallus | dont record and dont enable sound | 13:04 |
BluesKaj | well, I have no knowledge about hsp ...my wireless headphones are connected to an audio receiver since all the audio sources connect to it | 13:07 |

kaddi | heya, anyone know what's wrong with software updates in saucy? It was supposed to update 4 packages and download a total of 2MB nad it's been at it for 5h now | 14:14 |
kaddi | everything is greyed out, only the blue bar for "loading software list" is running back and forth | 14:14 |
kaddi | i've tried to kill it, but it won't die | 14:14 |
kaddi | there's also no lock on the lists no more, I've done an sudo apt-get update & upgrade in the command line and they said everything was up to date. So I guess it did the updates, just not sure what it is it is doing now | 14:16 |
BluesKaj | kaddi. try the terminal | 14:23 |
kaddi | what do I do in the terminal? | 14:24 |
kaddi | what's the apps name? | 14:24 |
kaddi | killall muon-updater? | 14:25 |
BluesKaj | stop muon , update and upgrade thru the terminal with apt-get | 14:27 |
BluesKaj | m,ake sure you have all your repos enabled | 14:28 |
kaddi | i did the update and upgrade before, it said i was up to date (which is why I concluded that muon must have updated whatever there was to update | 14:28 |
kaddi | but killall muon-updater closed the window | 14:29 |
kaddi | so that's all i needed :) | 14:29 |
BluesKaj | kaddi. no matter if the repos are commented out in the sources.list and muon then apt can't reach them | 14:30 |
PasNox | Hi | 14:30 |
PasNox | I finished to backup / restore my data from old disk to new one. | 14:30 |
PasNox | now i want to redownload and reinstall all currently isntalled packages to be sure no files are corrupted. | 14:31 |
PasNox | any hint of the apt-get / dpkg command to use please? | 14:31 |
kaddi | there's nothing commented out in my sources.list | 14:31 |
BluesKaj | check muon too | 14:31 |
kaddi | unless muon uses a different repository than apt-get? | 14:31 |
=== denysonique is now known as Guest80537 | ||
BluesKaj | nope , but sometimes muon doesn't pickup changes in the sourc es.list even after updating and vice versa | 14:32 |
kaddi | how do i check in muon-updater? I've tried to click on stuff, but it just doesn't do anything | 14:33 |
kaddi | configure muon-update sohuld open a popup i guess? | 14:33 |
BluesKaj | don't use the updater , open muon and choose settings /configure software sources | 14:34 |
BluesKaj | kaddi.^ | 14:34 |
kaddi | ok, it came up.. just seems slow. I don't see an option to configure where it | 14:34 |
kaddi | ah | 14:34 |
kaddi | ok | 14:34 |
kaddi | looks to be in order too.. anything but the cd rom is checked | 14:35 |
BluesKaj | there's a bug updating muon from apt-get , but once you have the same sources setup in both the sources.list and muon then updates/upgrades run smoothly | 14:36 |
BluesKaj | i prefer the cli/terminal for updating/upgrading , then if there's a problem it will show up in the text | 14:38 |
BluesKaj | especially when OS is new like 13.10 | 14:39 |
kaddi | ah, ok | 14:41 |
kaddi | yeah, i did change the lists to include the canonical-partners last week.. it's possible this was the first time muon ran after this | 14:41 |
kaddi | but it looked good when I got to the settings | 14:41 |
kaddi | i usually use the cli as well, but there was a popup so I figured "why not click it" :p | 14:42 |
BluesKaj | I turn the notifier off because I update every day , since I'm usually running a dev kubuntu version , but i think it's good practice anyway | 14:46 |
BluesKaj | muon update notifier that is | 14:47 |

PasNox | I'm looking for a way to reisntall corrupted packages on my system. how can i force reisntall of all installed package on the systeme ? ( it's not a fresh install, and so get selection / set selection is not what i want ) | 15:34 |
BluesKaj | PasNox. so you need to purge the the corrupt packages and their config files , the other packages really don't need to be reinstalled | 15:49 |
PasNox | BluesKaj: problems is i don't know which one are corrupted :/ | 15:50 |
PasNox | i got a few sectors broken during the backup | 15:50 |
BluesKaj | how were they corrupted ? | 15:50 |
BluesKaj | ok | 15:50 |
PasNox | the source broken hard disk was having corrupted sectors | 15:51 |
PasNox | and so the final backup as partial corrupted files | 15:51 |
BluesKaj | PasNox. reinstall kubuntu to / if you have a separate /home partition, if not then backup your data and do a clean install | 15:53 |
PasNox | there is a lot of custom conf files i don't want to rewrite in /etc and my databases to be checked | 15:54 |
PasNox | is it possible to know the list files being palced in bad sectors ? | 15:54 |
PasNox | so i oculd eventually reduce the things for reisntall | 15:54 |
BluesKaj | identifying data loss in broken sectors is beyond my expertise , but I'm sure if you asked in #ubuntu you might get an answer...the population here is pretty small to expect a quick answer here | 15:59 |

kedric | hello | 19:27 |
Linusnewb | now question is there a way to fix dhcp.conf with manuel dns settings without loss by every restart? | 19:27 |
Linusnewb | cause it seems kde networkmanager use this script but it's regenerated hisself by every restart,... | 19:30 |
Addle | Linusnewb: You could edit the connection, go into the IPv6 tab and select the method "Automatic (DHCP) Addresses only". Then enter the DNS server IP address. | 19:34 |
Addle | Linusnewb: Well, it's just Automatic (only addresses), now, but close enough. :) | 19:36 |
Linusnewb | Addle I am using IP4 but it;s reset after reboot so I make script manipulating | 19:39 |
Linusnewb | resolv.conf made me angry and I delete everything with them and linked in dhcclient | 19:40 |
Addle | Linusnewb: I mean do this in the network manager applet. Click on it, select your connection, and click on the wrench. Then click on the "Edit Connection" button and go to the IPv4 tab. | 19:40 |
Linusnewb | so dhclient doesn't work as default but the script still works | 19:40 |
Addle | Linusnewb: If you're using Network Manager and you try and fight it rather than use it, you will lose. lol | 19:41 |
Linusnewb | it's not working but the only thing what work is dhcp.conf but by every restart I lost my configuration file | 19:42 |
Addle | Linusnewb: Ooops, I typed "go into the IPv6" tab, and I meant IPv4. | 19:43 |
Addle | Linusnewb: Exactly, Network Manager is responsible for managing that stuff, and will overwrite it. You have to go through the plasmoid. | 19:44 |
Linusnewb | wich script and wich daemon use the networkmanager IPv4 dhclp3 is doesn't exist in my system :D | 19:44 |
draikx | I've re-installed Kubuntu 13.10 on my laptop (Acer Aspire V3-571) a few times now, and I cannot get the mouse, ethernet, wifi, or USB to work. Everything worked in the LiveCD, though. | 19:47 |
draikx | Is this a known issue with 13.10, and is there a solution? I've not found anything online to reference this issue. | 19:48 |
Addle | Linusnewb: Assuming you haven't messed it up, Network Manager should be there by default. The dhcp client should come from the package 'isc-dhcp-client". | 19:48 |
Addle | Linusnewb: Configure it from the applet. Don't mess with config files. | 19:48 |
Addle | Linusnewb: The daemon is "NetworkManager", FYI, but all you really need to know is configure it properly in the "Edit Connections" from the applet in your system tray. If it doesn't show, right click on the little arrow on the system tray and go into "System Tray Settings" and unlock the widgets, then make sure there's a check mark next to the "Network Management" entry. | 19:52 |
basse | hi.. i am having trouble with my tablet. when connected the notifier in kde doesnt say anything.. and i see this in logs: Nov 2 21:45:17 kone mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 9 was not an MTP device | 19:52 |

kaddi | how do I check what packages were updated during the last upgrade? Is that even possible | 19:55 |
Addle | kaddi: Look in /var/log/apt/history.log | 19:59 |
kaddi | hmm, that only contains the ones I istalled manually recently. Not the updated ones | 20:00 |
kaddi | ah no | 20:01 |
kaddi | sorry.. client was hanging | 20:01 |
Addle | kaddi: np :) | 20:01 |
kaddi | my battery charger/acpi applet seems broken and I recall it was working fine yesterday | 20:02 |
kaddi | looking at the stuff that was updated today, it's mostly grub and glib-networking related. | 20:03 |
draikx | Does anyone know why something would work seamless on the LiveCD, but then not work at all through an actual install? | 20:03 |
kaddi | not sure if those could affect the issue? | 20:03 |
Addle | kaddi: Hm, don't see why those would. | 20:04 |
Addle | kaddi: How is it broken? | 20:04 |
kaddi | Addle: it doesn't realise when I unplug the power supply and claims that it's 100% charge even after 2-3h of usage | 20:05 |
Addle | draikx: Well, theoretically, the DVD has everything it might need on it, whereas the install itself should try and only install what it knows it needs. Strange that so much doesn't work. | 20:05 |
kaddi | i've gotten to the point where I know that upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 shows 100% recharged, but cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now shows 2736000 (when full charge is 7200000) | 20:06 |
kaddi | so I'm guessing something isn't read correctly somewhere... :p but where? | 20:06 |
Addle | kaddi: That is a very good question. :) | 20:06 |
kaddi | funnily enough, the led for "power supply plugged in" seems to be working just fine ;p | 20:07 |
draikx | Addle, that makes sense. Not sure why it isn't being passed along, though. | 20:09 |
Addle | draikx: Indeed! In particular, the mouse and USB stuff... Not sure how that wouldn't work out of the box. | 20:09 |
draikx | I only have lo in /etc/network/interfaces | 20:10 |
Addle | draikx: Yeah, same here, so that's normal. | 20:11 |
draikx | Ah, OK. | 20:11 |
Addle | draikx: Is your mouse USB? Try lsusb and see if it shows up in there. | 20:11 |
Addle | draikx: For example, I get one line in there that says: Bus 008 Device 004: ID 046d:c01e Logitech, Inc. MX518 Optical Mouse | 20:12 |
draikx | Addle, no, it's the laptop mouse. | 20:12 |
draikx | trackpad | 20:12 |
draikx | I'm going to see if I can install 13.04, then upgrade to 13.10 | 20:13 |
Addle | draikx: Oh, the track pad. Wonder if it shows up in lshw. | 20:13 |
draikx | Addle, I just formatted the drive for 13.04. Sorry. I did lshw earlier, but I was only looking for the ethernet and wifi card. | 20:16 |
Addle | draikx: Ok, well, shouldn't be necessary to do that, but I guess we'll see if that works. Good luck! :) | 20:16 |

draikx | I disabled UEFI, though. I went back to "Legacy BIOS" | 21:17 |
apachelogger | ah, ok | 21:17 |
apachelogger | UEFI installation only works if you activate updates in the installer | 21:17 |
draikx | apachelogger, I did. 3rd party and install updates both checked. | 21:18 |
* apachelogger meant to write a note about that | 21:18 | |
apachelogger | peculiar | 21:18 |
Addle | apachelogger: His problem was that his mouse (trackpad), network interfaces, USB, didn't seem to work. | 21:18 |
draikx | Acer Aspire V3-571-9401, if interested. | 21:18 |
apachelogger | very strange that it would work on an upgrade | 21:19 |
draikx | I don't get it, either. vOv | 21:19 |
Addle | Yep, it's a puzzler. :) | 21:19 |

draikx | But now I'm happy that I have a working laptop with Kubuntu 13.10 | 21:21 |
draikx | And it appears that I'm running at 1/2 my installed RAM (4GB instead of 8GB) | 21:22 |
apachelogger | draikx: says who? | 21:24 |
draikx | free -m | 21:25 |
apachelogger | draikx: running 32bit maybe/ | 21:25 |
apachelogger | ? | 21:25 |
draikx | 64-bit | 21:26 |
apachelogger | says who? :P | 21:26 |
draikx | One sec. Getting things setup. | 21:26 |
draikx | I'll get on IRC from there in a bit | 21:26 |
draikx | uname -a | 21:26 |
apachelogger | all very curious | 21:27 |
Addle | apachelogger: Yeah, I'd love to know what the source of the problem was. Hard to get it fixed this way. | 21:35 |
draik | apachelogger: I'm on my laptop now | 21:36 |

draik | Sorry, I didn't mean to spam. That's all I got now. | 21:38 |
Addle | draikx: That's odd! | 21:39 |
Addle | draikx: Guessing that other 4GB RAM doesn't show up with sudo lshw? | 21:39 |
draik | Let me check | 21:39 |
Addle | It's no longer Oct. 31st, so it shouldn't be haunted. | 21:40 |
draikx | hahaha | 21:40 |
draik | Only reading 1 | 21:41 |
Addle | Wondering if the RAM is seated properly, hardware wise. | 21:42 |
draikx | I can check on that momentarily. Got a few downloads going real quick. | 21:43 |
draikx | I'll even swap them (bank 0/1) | 21:43 |
Addle | Of all the things, finding your RAM and using it when running a 64 bit OS is one of those "should just work" sort of things. | 21:43 |
draikx | Laptop inspected by: Law, Murphy | 21:45 |
Addle | lol | 21:45 |
MeanderingCode | anyone know a command or script to reload touchpad config? (it "resets" until restarting kde when i run a 'rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse' ) | 21:48 |
dolo_away | MeanderingCode would a bash script added to startup take care of that? | 21:52 |
MeanderingCode | dolo_away: startup is fine, my config is loaded. what happens is that dropping/reloading the psmouse module "resets" the active config to default | 21:53 |
MeanderingCode | and i don't want to have to log out and back in to get my config | 21:53 |
dolo_away | ahh ok | 21:54 |
dolo_away | I don't know much about that unfortunately | 21:54 |
draik | This is my MEMORY output from lshw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6349521/ | 21:56 |
draik | Going to power down so I can check the memory (physically) | 21:56 |
Addle | MeanderingCode: Not sure at all, but as a long shot, and the only thing I can come up with, maybe toggling the TouchpadOff setting with synclient would cause it to reload? | 21:59 |
Addle | MeanderingCode: I'm more worried about the need to do that in the first place, though. I guess it stops working and you need to reload the module? | 22:00 |
Addle | draikx: You have 4 banks. Maybe one of the chips is in the wrong slot? | 22:01 |
Addle | draikx: Going to guess that if one is in bank 2, the other should be in bank 0. | 22:02 |
MeanderingCode | Addle: yeah, touchpad occasionally gets stuck in only passing s'th that's read as scrolling (i can drag my finger up/down on the touchpad and scroll) | 22:02 |
MeanderingCode | come to think of it, i think it gets stuck thinking there's two fingers | 22:03 |
MeanderingCode | b/c i think tapping executes a right click | 22:03 |
MeanderingCode | which is the other two finger associated setting | 22:03 |
MeanderingCode | (two finger motion and two finger tapping) | 22:03 |
Addle | draikx: My motherboard manual for my desktop mentioned something about that, and I think there were two sets of differently colored DIMM slots. | 22:03 |
MeanderingCode | and i don't like it, either, but quickest solutions are gold for me, b/c my life has moved on from that time when i adopted linux and could spend >8hrs a week just fiddling with things ;) | 22:04 |
Addle | MeanderingCode: Wonder if turning off the two finger thing would resolve the issue. Keeping in mind I'm far from a trackpad expert. :) | 22:04 |
draikx | AHA! | 22:04 |
draikx | It wasn't seated right. Sticker got in the way. | 22:05 |
Addle | draikx: Nice! Glad it works, now. | 22:05 |
MeanderingCode | Addle: hmm. i'll give it a shot next time | 22:06 |

MeanderingCode | (still open to solutions, though, if others have thoughts) | 22:06 |

Addle | Dangit, it's getting cold in here. Quick, someone offer me a job in Hawaii! XD | 22:08 |
Addle | Eh, worth a shot. lol | 22:09 |

draik | Thanks | 22:24 |
draikx | Everything seems to be working. Even got my Android phone paired with my laptop :) | 22:35 |
Addle | draikx: KDE Connect has been a fun toy to play with. I got a text yesterday and it popped up in my system tray notifications. Niiiice... | 22:36 |
draikx | Addle, THANK YOU! I was just going to look for something like that. | 22:36 |
Addle | draikx: Still needs a lot of work, and it would work better if I was on Android 4.1 or better (4.0.x right now). But very promising. | 22:37 |
draikx | I'm on Android 4.3, so I shouldn't have a problem (then again, look at this laptop, haha). | 22:37 |
Addle | draikx: Keep in mind the version in the repos is old enough that the android one from the play store will complain. It was better once I built it myself. | 22:38 |
Addle | draikx: As I recall, I got some instructions from: http://larsemil.se/small-howto-on-kde-connect-and-ubuntu/ | 22:39 |
draikx | Checking it out... | 22:44 |
MangaKaDenza | BLARGH | 22:46 |
MangaKaDenza | I still cannot find the source for kubuntu | 22:46 |
MangaKaDenza | :< | 22:46 |
MangaKaDenza | am I missing something | 22:46 |
valorie | there are source repositories for *every part* | 22:48 |
valorie | you just have to enable them | 22:48 |
valorie | once you do that, and update, you will have ALL the sources | 22:48 |
valorie | of course it takes up room | 22:48 |

ferlete | hello | 23:19 |
draikx | Addle, it doesn't have bluetooth support. I found Android Desktop Notifier (for the laptop) and Remote Notifier (for my phone), and that is working. | 23:21 |
Addle | draikx: Yeah, it uses Wifi. Don't know about Bluetooth. My desktop doesn't have it and my laptop is ancient. :) | 23:22 |
