cjwelbornSo, when I installed Ubuntu, and now Kubuntu on my laptop the screen would be all black during the installation (with a hint of a logo). It turned out that the screen brightness wasn't being set. It still isn't set when I boot, but I'm living with it (i don't reboot as much on linux). Still, if acpi_off and acpi_osi can't fix this without breaking other stuff, what can? Anyone know?02:30
cjwelbornAlso, KDE handles my screen brightness buttons correctly, and will brighten my screen AFTER login. (which means I press the + button repeatedly, login, and then KDE sets it to %100 (when plugged in).02:34
cjwelbornnm, ##linux got me.02:51
dewdgang-frankHey :)03:07
dewdgang-frankSo guys, I use ubuntu and I like it more and more. + my Raspbian wheezy of course. But I just joined this channel to find out about this "kubuntu" thats being talked about. Anyone can explain me the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu in 1 sentence? :)03:08
ussher_kubuntu uses KDE, ubuntu uses gnome or ubiquity as a desktop.03:09
dewdgang-frankokay03:14
dewdgang-frankim basicly using Raspbian wheezy and Ubuntu on 2 different machines (RPi of course and on a mac) because I think its more secure than - .... my pc.03:15
dewdgang-frankwith windows.03:15
dewdgang-frank;) thats the only reason. im not a server admin or anything like that.03:15
dewdgang-frankjust doing transactions with linux.03:16
vvvmdewdgang-frank: I switched to KUbuntu full time since I could not stand the win 8 changes03:16
vvvmor the new Ubuntu gui, whatever it is called03:17
dewdgang-frankvvvm I used ubuntu about 2 years ago. remember it was a bit different back then. now I had to download it again for trading and daily transactions. I dont even trust my OS X since Its stuffed with many private things.03:18
vvvmuse KUbuntu ... i was using it for about two years now ... works like a charm ... i had to recompile the kernel though, cause the vanilla one didn't support some new HW in my laptop03:19
dewdgang-frankthe thing with the search and the amazon sponsored links just made me shake my head for days and days. making some money, okay. but... argh. and now the news about the guy that hosted the website fixubuntu(.com?) that got in trouble for that..03:19
valoriethere was an official apology about that, btw03:20
dewdgang-frankoh okay03:20
valoriefrom Mark Shuttleworth03:20
dewdgang-franki just stumpled across one article about it03:20
valorieI love Kubuntu and KDE03:20
dewdgang-frankthought like not cool03:20
valorieit was not cool for sure03:20
valorieI think everyone should use what they like/works for them03:21
valoriefor me, it's Kubuntu03:21
vvvmdo you guys know how to theck the systemd I have installed?03:21
vvvm*how to check the version of systemd i have03:22
dewdgang-frankdoes kubuntu also offer some kind of cd-/dvd-boot like ubuntu? I mean like a really simple way like its with ubuntu, download the image, burn to a cd or dvd, reboot, boot from dvd, click "try" and boom have a fresh os every time. pretty cool since I cant use usb drives for reasons03:22
valorieof course03:22
valoriehttp://getkubuntu.org03:22
valorieooops, http://www.kubuntu.org/03:23
valoriesorry03:23
valoriehttp://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu03:23
valoriemashed that up good, i did03:23
dewdgang-frankthats such a huge gain of security when there is need for doing secure offline works on a computer. much quicker than reinstalling my crappy windows like back in the days, oh jesus...03:23

sumitbHi everyone07:29
sumitbI am on Kubuntu 13.10, and have 2 NTFS partitions07:29
sumitbFrom 2nd partition, I use few VirtualBox VMs and the performance is really bad07:30
sumitbthe process mount.ntfs takes 50-60% of the CPU07:30
sumitbwhile if the VM is placed on an ext4 partition, it works good07:30
sumitbis there a way to optimize NTFS performance? Specially, i have set the paritions to automound using the KDE automount service07:31
sumitbi read that using noatime and big_write parameters help, but how to specify it for automount07:32

lordievaderGood morning.08:03
hermitsagehi, can someone help my, my kubuntu does not enter sleep mode when is close the laptop lid. google has not been very helpful soo far08:04
Tm_T...08:05
valoriehermitsage: did you set it up in systemsettings to sleep on close?08:05
Tm_Thermitsage: please stay in the channel for some time so people can help you08:05
hermitsage@Tm_T, stuggling to figure out how to use this irc client, not straight forward08:06
hermitsageanybody?08:21
valoriehermitsage: did you set it up in systemsettings to sleep on close?08:26
valorieyou never answered my question08:26
hermitsagevalorie: sorry was afk08:45
hermitsagevalorie: yes in system setting->power management, if set it up so it will go to sleep upon closing of lid08:46
lordievaderhermitsage: Does sleep work? As in does you laptop go to sleep when you select it through the menu?08:51
hermitsageit used work in 13.04, with 13.10 update it seems to have failed08:52
valoriehmmm08:53
valoriemight be time to file a bug, then08:53
hermitsage_ooh, how do i do this?08:53
hermitsage_and other info do need to provide?08:54
valorie!bug08:54
ubottuIf you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers.08:54
lordievaderhermitsage: But does sleep work in general? It is usefull to see if the problem is the laptop lid close signal or that pm-sleep doesn't work.08:54
valoriethat should give you all the information you need, hermitsage_08:54
hermitsage_one important detail, after every shutdown sleep functionality works exactly once08:55
lordievaderhermitsage: So it is more a problem with pm-sleep?08:55
hermitsage_lordieader: how i confirm this08:56
lordievaderhermitsage_: Run "sudo pm-suspend".08:56
hermitsage_lordievader: trying, since this will be first sleep after today mornings reboot i might go offline08:58
hermitsage_thanks lordievader: the is able to send the system to sleep twice just now09:00
hermitsage_deos this mean its a hardware issue?09:00
lordievaderhermitsage_: So it is probably a problem with the laptop close signal.09:00
lordievaderhermitsage_: If it worked in Raring it is unlikely that it is a hardware issue.09:02
hermitsage_lordievader: ok, is there anything else to try before i report a bug09:03
lordievaderhermitsage_: Nothing springs to mind.09:03
hermitsage_thanks lordievader: and valorie:09:05
hermitsage_will file a bug a bit later09:05

zztoplessIts just strange, as we had a day that got up to ~30C last week, a couple of days later we get down close to 0 overnight, then the wet whether saw two winter like days with the max ~ 11-12C... never experienced anything like it in November (ie end of spring)10:38

brejochi everyone. earlier this day i wanted to install kubuntu-desktop from backports for precise and added the ppa. after apt-get update the installation of kubuntu-desktop failed with a missing dependency. i think it was the kde window manager. is therer anythink broken in the ppa or did i miss something?20:32
geniibrejoc: If you could pastebin the output, it might be useful to see.20:34
brejocgenii: i'm sure it would. sadly i've immediately cleaned up the mess, removed the ppa und continued the daily routine. :(20:36
brejocwell, but let's try again.20:37
geniibrejoc: The most likely suspect is some other ppa you have which is interfering20:37
brejocgenii: are there issues with mixing the kubuntu ppa and the ubuntu phablet ppa?20:38
=== Abd_Allatif_ is now known as Abd_Allatif
geniibrejoc: I doubt the phablet ppa would be that problemmatic, or include dependencies which would interfere with those of KDE/Kubuntu.20:43
geniibrejoc: The best thing is if you try again and then we see the actual error :)20:43
brejocgenii: sorry, my shell just refused to output in english: http://pastebin.com/vwYd7yJA20:44
brejocgenii: this roughly translates to "This package hast unmet dependencies: kbuntu-desktop : depends on kde-workspace… aso20:45
geniibrejoc: Please try: sudo apt-get -f install20:45
brejocgenii: nothing20:46
geniibrejoc: sudo apt-get install kde-workspace-bin20:48
brejocnow it complains about the missing dependency to qdbus. i will select that too.20:48
brejocgenii: now it gets weird. seems like libqt4-dbus, libqt4-xml, libqtcore4 are too new. reverting them to the older version would result in the deinstallation of half of the packages.20:55

brejocgennii: thanks for your help. looks like some lost packages cause these problems. the libqt-xxx-packages are marked as local packages. they are not listed as related to a repository. most likely those are leftovers from a previously configured repository that got kicked out.21:07
anubisHello, how is audio organized in Kubuntu? If i stop displayserver with "/etc/init.d/lightdm stop " after a start i have no more audio and my device is not shown in the mixer anymore, what can i do?21:09
geniibrejoc: Apologies on lag, my work required me for an extended period. Although it looks as if you've made progress as far as finding out which packages are being problemmatic21:25
brejocgenii: don't worry. i had fun in the meantime… kind of! ;)21:26
brejocgenii: but since i'll need this laptop tomorrow i won't remove half of the installed packages. perhaps i'll be able to perform a clean install of kubuntu later this week. thanks again!21:30
gasshoso how do i manage screen brightness21:37
geniibrejoc: If you do apt-cache policy <name> on the affected packages, it may tell you where they came from that was not from the stock repos21:37

keithzgSomething in "(ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1001,gid=1001,iocharset=utf8,umask=0077,uhelper=udisks2)" is to blame, then.23:45
