[00:07] <designbybeck> my System Settings seems to be broke? I open it, I can see all the items, but when I click on something nothing opens
[00:07] <designbybeck> and there is no other version of it or any of them running that i can see
[01:06] <snuggyfoo> Does anyone know if Geany (IDE) has auto formatting or indentation like TAB in emacs?
[03:31] <Dragostini> Hey everyone, just tried to install the latest stable Kubuntu 64bit via USB flash drive. Live booted up fine (rather fast too, I liked it), and install supposedly went smoothly, but when attempting to boot, as soon as I leave my GRUB screen, I have a never ending black screen. Backlight of my laptop is still on, so it's not dead, just a neverending black screen. Any ideas? Tried reinstalling multiple times.
[03:32] <Dragostini> Googling turned up many results, nothing of which helped me, so thought I'd ask here.
[03:33] <crowell> can you hit ctrl+alt+f1?
[03:33] <Dragostini> Nope.
[03:34] <Dragostini> tried f1-f12
[03:34] <crowell> so you don't get a different tty?
[03:34] <Dragostini> Nope.
[03:34] <Dragostini> And no cursor either.
[03:35] <crowell> can you try booting with removing the "quiet nosplash" arguments from the grub bootline
[03:35] <Dragostini> Uh, no idea how to do that.
[03:35] <crowell> and add "nosplash debug"
[03:36] <Dragostini> How do I modify / add that?
[03:37] <crowell> hold shift during boot
[03:37] <crowell> you'll get to the GRUB menu
[03:37] <crowell> then you can edit your boot command
[03:37] <Dragostini> Okie. gimme a few, gotta reboot, on my windoze partition atm
[03:37] <Dragostini> I shall be back.
[03:37] <crowell> ok
[03:37] <crowell> if you had another machine this would go faster :-)
[03:38] <Dragostini> Hm, lemme grab the wifes laptop ;)
[03:39] <Dragostini> k two mins, booting her laptop up.
[03:39] <crowell> ok
[03:42] <Dragostini> okay
[03:42] <Dragostini> rebooting laptop
[03:42] <crowell> ok
[03:43] <Dragostini> so change quiet splash to debug splash?
[03:43] <crowell> debug nosplash
[03:43] <Dragostini> gotcha
[03:44] <Dragostini> uhh, tried to boot, bunch of text scrolled REAL FAST and back to black screen of nothing
[03:44] <Dragostini> \oh wait
[03:44] <Dragostini> in initramfs
[03:46] <Dragostini> It booted into the busybox build in shell (ash)
[03:46] <Dragostini> built*
[03:47] <crowell> any error messages, or just dumped to busybox?
[03:48] <crowell> it sounds like like if you an take a picture, that would be helpful
[03:48] <crowell> wow, my touchpad is really jittery today :P
[03:49] <Dragostini> I'm unable to scroll up, but from what I can see on the screen the only potential error or something is "systemd-udevd[117]: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/modules.dep.bin'
[03:49] <Dragostini> other than that its just a bunch of finding USB's
[03:51] <crowell> is this an EFI system? or bios?
[03:51] <Dragostini> bios
[03:51] <Dragostini> hp probook 6460b
[03:53] <crowell> andtthis is the first time you've booted after the install?
[03:53] <Dragostini> yeah
[03:54] <Dragostini> well aside from the initial blackscreen that brought me here
[03:55] <crowell> hm... that is very odd
[03:55] <Dragostini> I downloaded the ISO off the kubuntu website, and used UNETBOOTIN from windows to create the live USB
[03:56] <Dragostini> if  that counts for much
[03:56] <crowell> one thing that you might want to try is to reinstall grub from the live disk again
[03:56] <crowell> I've used unetbootin a lot
[03:56] <Dragostini> do a total reinstall?
[03:56] <crowell> works pretty well
[03:56] <crowell> first try just repairing grub
[03:56] <Dragostini> and how do I go about doing that?
[03:57] <crowell> http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd#.UoRKCB-ldNA
[03:57] <Dragostini> kk lemme give that a try
[03:57] <Dragostini> I'll get back to you shortly
[03:57] <Dragostini> i'll stay on here
[03:57] <crowell> ok, hopefully that works
[03:57] <crowell> if not, I'm not totally sure
[04:07] <Dragostini> okay
[04:07] <Dragostini> it tried to boot, I saw the kubuntu load splash screen
[04:08] <Dragostini> and now ive got an error, sec, i\ll type it out
[04:08] <Dragostini> gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
[04:08] <Dragostini> -check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?)
[04:09] <Dragostini> -check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
[04:09] <Dragostini> -missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
[04:10] <Dragostini> ALERT! /dev/disk/b-uuid/c3c65afa-caf7-4df4-8c61-cbd5c4e7f84c does not exist! Dropping to a shell!
[04:10] <Dragostini> And then back to busybox below that
[04:10] <crowell> sounds like bios issues maybe?
[04:10] <crowell> its looking for a disk by a certain id, which it can't find
[04:10] <Dragostini> sorry typo. by-uuid*
[04:11] <Dragostini> Never had any issues with any other distro :S
[04:11] <Dragostini> So I'm not sure it would be BIOS
[04:11] <crowell> on the same machine?
[04:11] <crowell> try adding the following to your grub boot line then
[04:11] <Dragostini> was just running OpenSUSE 12.3 KDE yesterday, and Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon three hours ago on that machine\
[04:11] <crowell> rootdelay=130
[04:12] <Dragostini> k sec
[04:12] <crowell> if that doesn't work, then the problem is menu.lst is holding the wrong uuid
[04:13] <Dragostini> added rootdelay=130 to bottom of grub boot line
[04:13] <Dragostini> testing
[04:13] <crowell> ok
[04:13] <Dragostini> same error
[04:13] <crowell> so yeah, your uuid is wrong on menu.lst
[04:14] <Dragostini> any way to fix?
[04:14] <crowell> ofc :-)
[04:14] <Dragostini> ^^
[04:14] <crowell> are you in the busybox shell?
[04:14] <Dragostini> yep
[04:14] <crowell> ok, type in "blkid"
[04:14] <crowell> if it doesn't work there, you'll have to do it from the live disk again :/
[04:14] <Dragostini> did nothing that I can see
[04:15] <Dragostini> in konsole?
[04:15] <crowell> ok, boot up the live disk, then do "sudo blkid"
[04:15] <crowell> yeah, in the console
[04:15] <Dragostini> kk sec
[04:17] <Dragostini> okay it gave me some spew of UUID's
[04:17] <Dragostini> my two windows partitions, my ext4 and my swap
[04:17] <crowell> ok, do you know which one is your boot partition?
[04:17] <crowell> should be one of the ext4
[04:17] <crowell> if you only have one ext4, then its that one
[04:18] <Dragostini> there is only one ext5
[04:18] <Dragostini> er
[04:18] <Dragostini> ext4*
[04:18] <crowell> ok
[04:18] <crowell> great
[04:18] <crowell> so if you can mount your ext4 partition, then edit menu.lst to contain the uuid instead of what it currently has
[04:19] <crowell> either that or you can just write down the uuid
[04:19] <crowell> then edit your grub line to reflect the proper uuid
[04:19] <Dragostini> I'll write it down on this laptop in a text file
[04:19] <crowell> (will say some stuff like root=UUID=blahblahblah
[04:19] <crowell> just updateit to the right one
[04:19] <crowell> then when you boot edit /boot/grub.menu.list
[04:20] <crowell> otherwise, you;ll have to do this every time you boot
[04:20] <crowell> but now when you make the edit you should be good to boot :-)
[04:21] <crowell> I don't know why grub messed that up the first time
[04:22] <Dragostini> okay, i wrote it down, so when I go into the grub boot edit like I have been, there should be a root=UUID=blahblah that I replace with the UUID I just wrote down?
[04:22] <crowell> correct
[04:23] <crowell> going to be afk for like 20 minutes, need to find my cat, I'll be back though
[04:23] <Dragostini> and when I manage (hopefully) to make it into kubuntu, edit that file and replace the UUID with it as well
[04:23] <crowell> correct
[04:23] <Dragostini> okay, I'll be here to keep you posted lol
[04:23] <Dragostini> thanks crowell
[04:23] <crowell> great, no problem!
[04:27] <Dragostini> hm, no dice crowell. Same error. I am in the grub edit right now, and its listed correctly, exactly, in two places.
[04:28] <Dragostini> first is search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root (theUUIDishere)
[04:29] <Dragostini> Second is a couple lines down: Linux                                      /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=UUID=(UUIDishere) ro     quiet splas\h $vt_handoff
[04:30] <Dragostini> the splas\h etc is due to it cutting into a new line
[04:32] <Dragostini> I need to afk about 15 minutes or so myself, back shortly
[04:58] <Dragostini> back
[04:58] <Dragostini> sorry crowell that took a little longer than i expected
[05:02] <crowell> Dragostini: so you saved with the proper uuid and still didnt work?
[05:03] <Dragostini> Yeah :S
[05:04] <crowell> sorry, but I'm blanking here
[05:05] <Dragostini> I might just have to switch to another distro perhaps...
[05:05] <Dragostini> I know others worked, I just wanted to try Kubuntu
[05:05] <crowell> you can try another fresh install, maybe something errored?
[05:05] <Dragostini> tried that already before I came on here
[05:06] <crowell> yeah, sorry about that, I can't really think of another reason for it
[05:06] <Dragostini> its okay dude. I'm going to see if I can poke around and figure it out, and if not, I guess download another distro
[05:07] <Dragostini> Thanks for your help crowell I do appreciate your effort

[12:20] <Teleport> using UNetbootin for installing KXstudio 10.4.3 Via Removable USB, Boot says "Invalid or corrupt kernel image", Burned the ISO file to a blank DVD, boot says "No Default or UI configuration directive found!", I've already tried to rename "isolinux" to "syslinux"
[12:24] <Teleport> anyone?
[12:29] <shadeslayer> Teleport: wrong channel, we do not provide support for KXStudio
[12:30] <Teleport> shadeslayer it's kubuntu based
[12:30] <shadeslayer> doesn't matter
[12:30] <shadeslayer> if it's a derivative, it's not supported here
[12:30] <Teleport> so what do you think about this?
[12:30] <Teleport> cause kx is empty
[12:31] <shadeslayer> *shrug*
[12:31] <shadeslayer> I'd check the md5sum of the ISO
[12:34] <Teleport> shadeslayer not match with anything!
[12:34] <shadeslayer> so your ISO is corrupted
[15:24] <lordievader> Good afternoon.
[18:50] <Moscherkobold> hello, is someone here
[18:50] <Moscherkobold> it seems that I have a problems since an update some days ago
[18:51] <Moscherkobold> my KWin window effects do not work anymore
[18:52] <Moscherkobold> it seems that my graphic card driver is not installed proberly at the moment
[18:53] <Moscherkobold> i have an AMD graphic card, in the "additional driver" window I can see 2 drivers, no matter which one I select it does not work
[18:55] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. do you mean it doesn't install properly ?
[18:56] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: the installation seems to be ok and the little indicator in front of the drivers name is green, however there is a text below that says something like "the driver is activatet, but not in use"
[18:57] <BluesKaj> if it installs Moscherkobold is the activate option showing ?
[18:58] <Moscherkobold> no
[18:58] <Moscherkobold> also the amd watermark is not in the bottom right egde of my screen anymore
[18:59] <BluesKaj> which AMD card is it ?
[18:59] <Moscherkobold> 78xx
[19:00] <Moscherkobold> i have two driver in my list the one with the green light i can "remove" the one with the grey dot in front I can "activate"
[19:03] <BluesKaj> and you activated it , with poor results ?
[19:05] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. ^
[19:05] <Moscherkobold> well my kwin effects does not work anymore, and i have noticed that the AMD watermark was suddenly gone
[19:05] <Moscherkobold> if i go into system settings
[19:06] <Moscherkobold> window effects
[19:06] <BluesKaj> you rebooted after activation , i assume , Moscherkobold ?
[19:06] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: yes
[19:06] <Moscherkobold> there is a message OPENGL-compositing has caused a crash of Kwin
[19:07] <Moscherkobold> probably the reason was a faulty driver
[19:07] <Moscherkobold> (sorry I am translating the text by myself from german into english)
[19:08] <BluesKaj> and the Qt graphics is setting is native or raster ?
[19:08] <Moscherkobold> opengl3.1 nativ
[19:08] <BluesKaj> correction: and the Qt graphics setting is native or raster ?
[19:09] <BluesKaj> try the raster setting
[19:10] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: something crashed and i was returned to the login screen after a few seconds
[19:11] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. , open a terminal , sudo apt-get install dkms
[19:12] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: ok (was already installed)
[19:13] <BluesKaj> ok
[19:14] <BluesKaj> in the terminal , dkms status , what's the output ?
[19:14] <Moscherkobold> fglrx-updates, 13.101, 3.11.0-13-generic, x86_64: installed
[19:16] <BluesKaj> ok , sudo apt-get install fglrx
[19:19] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: uhoh the installation was running and then the same thing happend again, a black screen for 2sec and i was returned to the login screen
[19:23] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. is this an AGP or PCI card ?
[19:24] <BluesKaj> or onboard?
[19:27] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. are you sure the 78xx is AMD , I see references to nvidia 78xx in google
[19:28] <renaud-46> bonjour!
[19:28] <renaud-46> hi
[19:29] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: sry i have to write from my mobilephone now :)
[19:29] <Moscherkobold> pci-e card
[19:29] <Moscherkobold> yes sure amd
[19:30] <Moscherkobold> after a reboot i see the os select screen then a kubuntu logo and when the login screen should appear the screen is black and goes into powersave after some sec
[19:39] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. , try another update and upgrade , there may be a graphics update/fix in the repos .
[19:42] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: i have done some update upgrade reinstall flgrx in the recovery console and i can use my pc again :)
[19:43] <BluesKaj> aha :)
[19:43] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. good , glad to hear it :)
[19:43] <Moscherkobold> however the window effects are still not working and the amd watermark is also missing, so something is not ok with the driver :9
[19:44] <Moscherkobold> i will try the second one from the additional driver window
[19:50] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: do you have any futher suggestion?
[19:52] <BluesKaj> not sure , Moscherkobold , have you looked at the amd/ati site for a proprietary linux driver for the 78xx ?
[19:53] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: hmm no, good idea i will do that
[19:53] <Mariox> =p
[19:54] <ovrflw0x> how to switch from xubuntu to kubuntu?
[19:54] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: Install the kubuntu-desktop package.
[19:55] <ovrflw0x> then
[19:55] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: After that follow this guide:
[19:55] <lordievader> !purekde | ovrflw0x
[19:56] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, i'm on 13.10
[19:57] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal). If you're using 12.04, go here. If you're using 11.10, go here. If you're using 10.04, go here.
[19:57] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: Probably hasn't changed much ;)
[19:57] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, what will happen to the infinality patch?
[19:57] <ovrflw0x> i've it installed
[19:58] <BluesKaj> yeah the pure kde guide is usually out of date by a yr or so
[19:58] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: Infinality patch?
[19:58] <ovrflw0x> yes
[19:59] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: I have never heard of that patch, could you give some background/details?
[19:59] <ovrflw0x> infinality.net
[19:59] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: how to install the downloaded file?
[20:00] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. what's the file extension ?
[20:00] <Moscherkobold> run
[20:01] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough?
[20:01] <ovrflw0x> for 13.10
[20:02] <ovrflw0x> Moscherkobold, make that run file executable and do sh file.run
[20:03] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: The one from !purekde will probably work fine. About the infinality thing, I have no experience with font settings. I simply use the defaults.
[20:03] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. , open a terminal in the folder where it's located , then,  ./nameofdriverpackage.run
[20:03] <BluesKaj> with sudo
[20:05] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, will installing kubuntu-desktop also change the xubuntu pic during the boot?
[20:06] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: No idea ;). You can customize it though, if you want.
[20:07] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, do you like xfce or kde?
[20:07] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: I have never really used xfce.
[20:08] <ovrflw0x> lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-kubuntu/ for 13.10
[20:10] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: Probably yes. The thing is, if you find the lib on which the whole xfce depends you only need to remove it. That lib is probably somewhere in their commands.
[20:15] <ovrflw0x> i already did "sudo install kubuntu-desktop" and packages are getting downloaded can i STOP them and follow the command give by psychocats.net? will all the package install resume or download from beginning?
[20:16] <BluesKaj> ovrflw0x. not a good idea
[20:16] <lordievader> ovrflw0x: It doesn't matter if you first install kubu-desktop and then remove xfce or the other way around.
[20:16] <ovrflw0x> k
[20:20] <BluesKaj> BBL
[20:23] <Moscherkobold> BluesKaj: thank you now everything is working :)
[20:23] <Moscherkobold> just to know, was my graphic card driver autoupdated or something
[20:37] <BluesKaj> Moscherkobold. good to hear  :)
[23:30] <jsalvia> hi
