[00:02] this is recovery mode: http://imagebin.org/277393 [00:02] i chose fsck [00:02] ok [00:02] now i have this screen [00:02] http://imagebin.org/277392 [00:03] you cant do much wrong there, even can get a command line there [00:03] is this normal? [00:03] yes [00:03] have the command line now [00:03] it only says, now it mounts your devices, when they are allready mounted, you should not run fsck [00:03] finished [00:03] thats why you use recovery mode, where you can use this function save [00:04] ok, and no errors ? [00:05] http://imagebin.org/277394 [00:06] i dont know [00:06] is this a error or is all ok [00:06] 0.1 percent looks not so good [00:07] it did say at the end if it there is something wrong, but if you get Press Enter, anything seems ok [00:07] thats ok [00:07] means only your files are not clean saved, but 0,1% is good [00:08] omg [00:08] now go to network and start it [00:08] what omg ? [00:09] you have anything at one partition? [00:09] oh my good [00:09] god [00:09] i usually make 2 partitions, one for home, one for the system, that way i can set up all time a new system but keeping my files at the home partition [00:10] i have 5 or 6 partitions [00:10] http://imagebin.org/277395 [00:10] done [00:11] i have now a command line [00:11] yes, thats a root command line [00:11] ok, what now= [00:11] ? [00:11] hum [00:11] you didnt load the network now, right? [00:12] you can type "exit!" and come back to the screen [00:12] i chose network [00:13] so, whats your video card, you say, it doesnt start anymore because it doesnt load your driver anymore? [00:13] yes i have nvidia [00:13] i chose network at this screen: http://imagebin.org/277393 [00:14] thats the result: http://imagebin.org/277395 [00:14] ok, i am back in the menu now [00:14] network should be enabled [00:14] what now? [00:15] yes that is right error: load fallback graphic devices [fail] [00:16] when i now click on network, the screen http://imagebin.org/277395 dont appear anymore [00:18] now try root for a shell [00:20] there you can try to install a new driver for yor system. [00:21] the menu only executes the options, only the shell is permanent [00:21] you remind me at it, as i messed my video drivers up too, and i couldnt find a working one [00:24] ok thx, and what should i type in? [00:26] i need to look what is the best. you may should use a packet manager like dselect [00:27] it can look if you have all depencies [00:29] maybe try aptitude, or install it with apt-get install aptitude [00:29] ups have deselect installed: http://imagebin.org/277403 [00:29] i will remove it [00:30] how can i remove that - so that nothing is left? [00:30] ok. as you want, but its no big deal, try aptitude, i think its better [00:30] ok, and how can i remove the program, so that nothing is left? [00:30] remove? autoremove? or purge? [00:31] dpkg -r [00:32] or apt-get remove [00:32] he writes: "dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching dselect [00:32] apt-get --purge remove dselect [00:32] ok done [00:33] now install aptitude, its more handy i think [00:34] from your last screen it says you could update some packages [00:35] a guess, did you have problems with your installation before, or did you delete some packages, where it did remove more as you did want? [00:35] ok, sry i had to for my pizza [00:36] happy pizza then [00:38] it seems like that aptitude is already installed [00:38] http://imagebin.org/277406 [00:39] ok, do maybe a apt-get -u upgrade [00:41] its on your screen allready too, to do apt-get update or apt-get update --fix-missing [00:42] this is my screen now: [00:42] should i do the another first before i click yes [00:42] ? [00:43] first update, then upgrade [00:43] but not dist-upgrade [00:43] but you can do that with aptitude too i think [00:44] ok, first update means: apt-get update --fix missing [00:44] ok [00:46] dist-upgrade is GOOD [00:46] that upgrades all your packages [00:46] it does not move you to the next version [00:47] apt-get update --fix missing dont work [00:47] hi valorie good to see you alive :) [00:48] http://imagebin.org/277411 [00:48] oh sorry i have forget the - between fix and missing [00:48] no, the --fix-missing should go with the upgrade command [00:49] update just updates your source repos [00:49] i'm alive but about to go fix dinner [00:50] i have done apt-get update fix-missing, but i have several warnings and errors [00:51] http://imagebin.org/277412 [00:52] just do apt-get update [00:52] no --fix-missing [00:53] ok [00:53] also: do a copy/paste to a pastebin [00:53] the images are impossible to read, since they don't cover the entire screen [00:53] !paste [00:53] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:53] this time I'm really going aft [00:54] afk [00:54] you ned to sudo apt-get [00:55] at apt-get update i have this result: http://imagebin.org/277414 [00:55] but well, i forgot its the recovery ko0nsole [00:56] at last, it updated some of your files? [00:56] i know i dont have to add sudo, right [00:56] ? [00:56] if some urls dont work, its not fatal error [00:57] you simple type sudo apt-get update ie [00:57] the last error dont looks good [00:57] http://imagebin.org/277414 [00:57] "sudo command" [00:57] so i should repeat it with sudo command? [00:57] well it says only some hosts are not reachable at the moment, its no big thing [00:58] ok, so: sudo apt-get update ie now? [00:58] apt-get looks usually for more sources, where it can find the files to update,. if some dont works, it only says that [00:58] did yur update finish allready or only showe this errors [00:59] should I add ie to the command too? [00:59] but mainly, it compares the source hosts, compare the files, and dload them, where it can find some, else, for the others, what dont work, it shows this error [01:00] simple. when you run a command, like apt-get, you either type apt-get install, then it says, you need root privileges, then you type sudo apt-get install [01:00] after that, you need to type your root password in [01:01] so either, you run a command as superuser, (sudo) or as normal user [01:01] does that make sense? [01:02] i think so - i know that you usually need sudo to install something - but here i am root [01:02] yeah i assume too, that it works without root [01:02] I was not asked about my password because of i am root anyway [01:02] did it update now the files? [01:02] i cant see it on the screen [01:03] the same error as before [01:03] one moment [01:04] strange anyhow,, apt-get update --fix-missing works by me [01:04] this is what i typed in: http://imagebin.org/277415 [01:05] ok what happens? [01:05] And this is the result: http://imagebin.org/277416 [01:05] ^^ no ask for password [01:06] what do you recommend? [01:08] did you start your network this time ? you have a connection to the internet? [01:09] i should because i have already installed dselect [01:09] when i try: "ping www.google.com" [01:09] the output is: ping: unknown host www.google.com [01:11] try dhclient [01:11] or sudo dhclient [01:12] output of ping: http://imagebin.org/277417 [01:13] you dont need to do a picture from any command :) [01:14] this is the output: http://imagebin.org/277418 [01:14] when i try sudo dhclient it is the same [01:14] it is easier for me === goodtime_ is now known as goodtime [01:14] and easier for you i hope [01:15] ok, try exit [01:15] then you come back to the menu [01:15] not sure if your etowrk works, it seems it does [01:15] your network [01:16] jep [01:16] there choose dpkg [01:16] i am at recovery menu now [01:16] ok [01:16] ok. do dpkg or start network [01:16] well i think we save some time without puictures :) [01:18] should i klick yes? http://imagebin.org/277420 [01:18] yes, but not at long texts [01:19] yes [01:19] hit y [01:19] flashpligun is the adobe flash, linux headers generic are something you need to load the kernel [01:20] and rest are libs what are neded [01:20] oh it needs 5 min [01:20] you got a 56k modem? then enjoy your pizza at the meantime [01:20] is it ok when i go smoking a joint [01:20] ? [01:20] only, when it has a lenght more then 15 cm [01:20] i have mobile internet [01:20] max. 10 MBit/s [01:21] but most time the half [01:21] thats a lot usually, i got something with 1,2mbit [01:21] and thats a fast line what i have [01:21] for 300mb i may need about 2 mins [01:22] thats good enough [01:22] may i go smoke the joint in the meanwhile= [01:22] ? [01:23] ok then lets wait until its finnished, i get a drink at the meantime [01:23] ok, thx in advance you are very cool :-) [01:30] omg my screen is black now [01:30] is this a kind of screensaver? [01:31] i think so, try space [01:32] oh, i just clicked left and right [01:32] http://imagebin.org/277424 [01:33] ok, it doesnt matter, because the script will run until it stops, no matter what you did type [01:34] ok [01:34] so far you didnt hit ctrl-c [01:34] right [01:34] now i am here [01:34] http://imagebin.org/277425 [01:36] now i am here: http://imagebin.org/277426 [01:37] no, didnt hit Ctrl c [01:38] looking up for that error [01:38] this is the last screen: http://imagebin.org/277427 [01:39] ok someone says, you need to ... sudo apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx then reboot [01:39] then sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx [01:40] means uninstall nvidiakernle-dkms and nvidia-glx, reboot and isntall it again [01:40] ok, must say for this here : http://imagebin.org/277426 i have tested this kernel [01:40] i was the issue for that i couldnt boot into the KDE with no kernel [01:41] ok, when this now works its ok [01:41] else you may need to reinstall this both packages [01:41] ok, i have pressed enter at last screen, now i am in the recovery menu [01:41] Hm. [01:41] should i root again [01:41] start the network first [01:41] and type the commands you gave me? [01:42] genii, hm? [01:42] you could try to boot the kernel, if it works [01:42] .-) [01:42] :-) [01:42] before i do your commands? [01:42] normal, without recovery, when it doesnt work, you may do the reinstall [01:42] ok [01:43] Joit: I came in at some point after the original problem had been described or addressed. Just noticing the 3.12 kernel on screenshot. [01:43] he says, he cant load his kernel anymore because something is wrong with his video drivers genii [01:44] he tried to boot with a cd and chroot somewhat, to install the right drivers or at last boot kde [01:45] i told him to use the recovery menu from grub, and there it turns out that his system is nt updtodate, and that is, what we did now [01:45] jovando: Notmally on the grub menu you will have the last few kernels which are on the system from upgrades. You are not able to use a previous kernel which was working ? [01:46] fist i was able to use the kernel: 3.2.0-generic pae [01:47] after install of test kernel - just booted one time into kde and then no kernel worked (booted) any more [01:48] sorry i meant the kernel: 3.2.0-52 generic pae [01:48] you tried to compile on by yourself, yes? [01:48] and the newer ones didnt work [01:48] so after report to launchpad [01:48] they wrote me a mail where i should try a test kernel [01:49] and after one boot into kde with test kernel - i had to restart (recommended from system) - then i couldnt boot any kernel any more [01:49] compile? [01:49] The first thing you should do is get your system working with a stock kernel, and booting. Then to consider whether you need some custom kernel. [01:49] strange story anyhow, do you have a exotic system for a "test-kernel"? [01:49] what does that exactly mean? [01:50] jep i have Netrunner [01:50] stock kernel - generic kernel, what you get with your packetmanager [01:51] hey, now i booted with "Netrunner, with linux kernel 3.2.0-52-generic pae and it works!!! :-) [01:51] Netrunner is not even a supported distribution in this channel [01:51] This channel is for Kubuntu support. [01:52] but it is the kubuntu version 11.04 LTS [01:52] no [01:52] it also look likes the same, except of the button on the left bottom corner [01:52] 12.04 is LTS [01:52] oh, sorry yes [01:52] 12.04 LTS [01:52] yea i booted now [01:52] to kde [01:52] nice [01:53] at last [01:53] can i remove my test kernel now? [01:53] trow it on mount everest .. [01:53] or from it down [01:53] well, i dont know if you like to play around with it, maybe youonly missed to load some modules [01:53] mount everest? what is that? [01:54] thats a biig mountain [01:54] where this kernel hopefully falls into a deep hole [01:54] oh, sorry :-) yes i will do [01:54] can you give me advice how to remove this test kernel? [01:55] use a package manager, it should do it [01:56] i have muon on my system :) [01:56] hm, i think i had installed it via dpkg on console [01:56] that doesnt matter [01:57] i think all the package manager use it too at backround [01:57] jovando: I just asked in the Kubuntu development channel to clarify where you should seek support. It is recommended either #kde or the forums at http://forums.netrunner-os.com/ [01:57] but any packet manager is good enough to remove something from the system [01:58] huh, there are tousands of kernels [01:58] how can i find it [01:59] try linux-headers and look right side, wich one is installed [01:59] Joit: If you wish to give jovando support, please go to PM, and keep the channel clear for Kubuntu users which may be seeking support here. [02:00] yeah, well, i stayed here for about a half hour and noone said something, even did not ask my question, but now you think there are 100 ppls what look for support? [02:00] The #kubuntu-offtopic channel may also be appropriate, if it is quiet there. [02:00] i may wait after jovanda another hour that someone maybe says something again [02:01] Joit: Regardless, this is not the netrunner support channel. [02:01] Joit: If you have a Kubuntu question, please ask again and it may be addressed., [02:02] genii: why does that look like a netrunner support, when he cant boot his kernel anymore [02:02] * shadeslayer can look at questions right now [02:02] Kubuntu ones that is [02:02] ok, sry, i didnt know that this is so strict - i use konversation the 2nd time in my life [02:03] jovando: i hate it, that it is like that === netrunner_ is now known as jovando22 [02:03] Joit: sometimes netrunner ships Custom kernels from the mainline PPA which are not supported officially, they also use apt pinning and what not so it could be a upgrade gone wrong [02:03] and i big reason that i really seldom ask for help in this 'friendly ' channel for help [02:03] ok, this is my other username [02:03] my other system i mean [02:04] Joit: which is why it's going to be hard to debug issues, and an entire waste of time for other Kubuntu users to try and help since the kernel could be vastly different from what they're using [02:04] jovando: Because there are many distributions which are based from Ubuntu/Kubuntu and they all have their own specific quirks which are different from the regular official distributions, it is impossible to support them all and so we must stay with the official distribution. [02:05] I know for eg. that Netrunner doesn't ship PA, but Kubuntu does, so any issues related to sound are also going to be hard to debug [02:05] ok, i understand - but netrunner isnt a competition or so? [02:05] no [02:05] Joit: To the contrary, this is normally a very friendly channel :) [02:05] what is PA? [02:05] PulseAudio [02:05] !pulseaudio [02:05] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [02:06] ... [02:06] ok [02:06] jovando22: TBH the best way to get support for Netrunner is via the forums [02:06] any issues mentioned on the forums are likely to be actively looked into rather than issues mentioned on IRC [02:07] jovando: I do realize your issue is important and should be addressed, however, the proper way is always first to seek help with the people who made your distribution === master is now known as Guest90600 [02:07] ^^ [02:07] ok, i will install kubuntu the next time anyway [02:08] because i already has a gib number of problems [02:08] gib = big [02:09] so, i have found my kernel now [02:09] and i can remove it whitout any problems rihgt? [02:09] why would you want to remove a kernel? [02:10] sry, just some last questions: does it matter if i remove the header or the image kernel first? [02:10] i just want to remove the test kernel [02:10] okay [02:10] because it is not part of the repo [02:10] no, it doesn't matter if you remove either of those first [02:11] ok, i removed the image kernel, but i cant find the header kernel ... [02:12] can i just remove it via console? [02:12] jovando: Probably why nvidia driver failed, since it needs the headers installed, etc. Please come to #kubuntu-offtopic where I will try to give some help. [02:13] ok thx [02:15] and btw A BIG THANK YOU!!!! YOU SAVED MY COMPUTER!!! [02:56] What is the package to access large drives? I have 4TB drives that I'm trying to access. [02:57] draikx: There should not be any particular package for that. It's more dependant on the filesystem which is on the drive, where the limit is. I have for instance 11TB array with ext4 which is fine to read. [02:58] Alright. Let me work on this a bit further. Thank you, genii. [03:02] genii, how did you format your drives? I'm trying to format the 4TB drive with ext4, but it fails in KDE Partition Manager [03:05] draikx: I just marked all the drives with partition type of RAID autodetect with fdisk, then in gparted assembled them into a RAID5 array, after which it formatted without incident [03:06] genii, thank you. Going to do that now. [03:12] genii, that's working :) Thank you! [03:14] draikx: Yer welcome :) [03:21] at boot up, my login dialog is on my second monitor, which is almost always off (hdmi to TV) how can I get it back on the primary screen? (Kubuntu 12.04, KDE 4.11.2, AMD Raedon card ) [03:28] Walzmyn, Is it your primary display in Settings > Displays? [03:29] draikx: you mean primary output on Displays and Monitors? [03:30] draikx: yes it is [03:30] I used to have the same issue. I just did and un-did a change, so that my primary display was marked as primary again. [03:31] draikx: i tried that [03:32] I had this working correctly for a long time, then I pulled my tower out to clean it and when I put it back I had to re-do everything reguarding dual monitors and this didn't get fixed === spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57 === helders is now known as bab_dragon === bab_dragon is now known as baby_dragon [04:15] * genii makes more coffee === viv`d is now known as vivid [04:35] wat [04:36] MangaKaDenza: The bots sometimes get confused.

[12:30] James0r, you dont have it by default ? [12:32] native apps look fine but, for example, synaptic package manager [12:32] has the cheesy Win98 looking buttons [12:33] http://picpaste.com/snapshot1-ABL7kgvv.png [12:35] James0r: You need to have gtk3-engines-oxygen and gtk2-engines-oxygen installed. [12:36] lordievader, okay ill check those out. [12:36] lordievader, both are installed already [12:38] James0r: Hmm ok. What is set in System Settings -> Application Appearance -> GTK for gtk2 and gtk3 theme? [12:39] lordievader, oxygen-gtk for both [12:40] i installed compiz, would that conflict with window styles? [12:40] wasnt it that synaptics runs as root? [12:41] Ah, if so could you try running synaptic without sudo, James0r [12:42] you have xchat in the background, that's a GTK app [12:42] how does that look? [12:53] as lordievader said, running app with sudo might use native styles [12:56] soee: Actually Fa_1 one said that ;) [12:57] had to put the kid to bed, alright i'll give the non-sudo a shot [12:58] okay sure enough that was it. is there a way to force the qt-look for all users including root? [13:05] James0r: well the dirty trick .. 'kdesudo kcmshell4 kde-gtk-config' or edit the gtk2 and 3 config files (but i dont know them) [13:14] is the only way to get rid of the kde "cashew" to use the ihatethecashew app?

[14:55] "sound" being air moving at a particular frequency. [14:56] BluesKaj: with headphones directly into the machine, it does work. [14:56] Perhaps the cable has come loose, but no idea how that could have happened. [14:57] jdoles. is this a laptop ? [14:57] BluesKaj: no [14:57] hello everbody, cant boot my system - stuck at this screen: http://imagebin.org/277526 [14:57] any idea?
