mtenenanyone having trouble with screensavers in kubuntu 13.10?00:29
MangaKaDenzawat00:29
valorieI am, a bit00:29
MangaKaDenzamtenen, what do you mean? what kind of trouble?00:29
valoriewhat's up, mtenen?00:29
valoriemy trouble is that asquiaquarium loads up four copies of itself every time I reboot00:30
mtenenwhen i resume from sleep mode, there are sometimes 3 small windows of my screensaver running on the desktop00:30
valorieI don't do it often, so it isn't a big deal00:30
valoriebut weird00:30
valorieah, so same thing happening00:30
valorieI haven't filed a bug about it though00:31
valoriehave you, mtenen?00:31
mtenenno, because i think (we) can fix it00:31
mtenenand why is it asciaquarium for us both?00:32
valorieah, you use it too00:33
valorie<3 asquiaquarium00:33
mtenenyeah, i don't know if any of the other screensavers do that.00:33
valorieI know it happened after upgrade to 13.1000:33
valoriebut not sure if right then, or a later update00:34
MangaKaDenzamaybe... try the raring version?00:34
valorieI rarely reboot00:34
MangaKaDenzaidk...00:34
mtenenyou don't have to reboot, it happens when you wake up from sleep mode too.00:34
valorieit would be more logical if one of us tried a different screensaver00:34
mteneni am trying clock right now00:34
valorieI don't put it to sleep00:34
valoriek00:34
valoriesec00:34
MangaKaDenzatry apt-get purge screensaver* and then apt-get -f install apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install screensaver* --install-suggests00:35
mteneni will try that MangaKaDenza, thanks.00:38

James0rkde keeps defaulting to hdmi audio output. it keeps my analog stereo duplex selection but the 'sound device' returns to HDMI on reboot03:40
James0ri'm trying to either permanently disable HDMI audio out or at least get kmix to give it last priority. I'm using Kubuntu 13.10, any ideas?05:06
valorieJames0r: in systemsettings05:13
valoriesystemsettings: Hardware > Multimedia05:13
James0rvalorie: phonon?05:13
crowellJames0r: pavucontrol05:14
James0rvalorie: yeah i found the options to change devices and what not, problem is it keeps prefering HDMI on reboot05:14
valoriedid you click the save button?05:14
valoriewell, Apply and then OK05:14
valoriepavucontrol is great, but afair it doesn't have you set the default05:15
James0rvalorie: yeah. but i think it's making HDMI preferred because it recognizes it after, maybe also something about changing irq or something? anyway i just change the /etc/pulse/default.pa not to switch on HDMI connect so i'll restart and check it05:16
valorieit seems to me that there is a general problem with getting systemsettings to properly save state05:17
valoriefor hardware, at least05:17
valorieI keep hearing complaints both here and in #kde05:17
wafflejockvalorie: I don't think I've really had problems except for this bug where I get a CRTC error if I have both my HDMI and my VGA hooked up when I boot cause the LCD is on too and for some reason the three monitors causes the problem05:19

nafg__Hello, I am going through nightmares trying to customize the ubuntu installer08:34
lordievaderHey nafg__, What is it that you want to customize?08:36
nafg__Hi lordievader08:38
nafg__The issue i'm stuck on at the moment is the post install script. It's a ubiquity based ISO (testing it in VirtualBox atm), and it's not running it08:38
lordievadernafg__: A modified iso? Does the normal iso run correctly?08:39
nafg__In the preseed i have08:39
nafg__ubiquityubiquity/success_command string /cdrom/postinstall.sh08:39
nafg__It's not very modified. It runs "correctly," except for this modification for instance08:40
lordievadernafg__: But does the normal (unmodified) iso install correctly?08:41
nafg__Where would I see output from it? Is it logged somewhere08:41
nafg__Yes, it does, I just said that.08:41
nafg__it installs even modified.08:41
nafg__it just doesn't get my customization08:41
lordievadernafg__: Ah, I'm starting to understand. You want an install that is modified to your taste from the first boot?08:43
nafg__wdym by 'first boot'?08:43
nafg__I want a script to run after it's installed08:44
lordievadernafg__: The first time you boot your freshly installed os. Or am I on the wrong track?08:44
nafg__lordievader: that would be fine, i guess that 's the ultimate goal08:44
nafg__but it's not what I'm saying08:44
nafg__Are you familiar with presseeding?08:45
nafg__preseeding08:45
lordievadernafg__: No, I'm not. Sorry.08:45
nafg__do you have some suggestion in mind?08:45
lordievadernafg__: I'd make a customization script. Install the os like normal. Copy the script, run it and reboot.08:46
nafg__lordievader: the problem is we need this to happen on a large number of machines, so that would total a lot of work08:47
nafg__Also the machine would ideally not have an ordinary log in08:47
nafg__ideally not need ...08:48
lordievaderWas afraid you would say that.08:48
lordievadernafg__: Have you read this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization#Modify_installer_behaviour_using_a_Preseed_file08:48
nafg__yes08:49
nafg__although they describe the alternate installer, and there don't seem to be any alternate desktop downloads for saucy atm08:50
lordievadernafg__: Well you could go and ask around in #ubuntu, perhaps the folk there knows.08:50
nafg__i did08:50
James0ri found a line in my system log that looks to be the culprit. not sure what to do with it though. it's : Nov 19 15:21:13 james-X45C kernel: [ 2219.886699] tty_ldisc_hangup_halt: waiting (Xorg) for tty7 took too long, but we keep waiting...09:18
nafg__OKAY lordievader thank G-d it's working! I had to change the line to bash scriptname rather than just scriptname (perhaps due to lack of +x mode)09:22

lordievaderGood afternoon.13:19
James0rhowdy13:20
lordievaderHey James0r, how are you?13:20
James0rend of the day, put the kid to bed and have a beer in my hand, so pretty good.13:21
James0rhow bout you?13:21
lordievaderJames0r: Doing pretty good :)13:22
James0ranyone have issues with the muon update manager? either takes forever to find updates or never finishes looking13:22
BluesKajsuggests using apt-get in the terminal, James0r , it's more stable , thsy both use the dpkg system anyway , but without the muon GUI it's a direct command13:25
James0rBluesKaj: does apt-get update do the same thing? i always thought apt-get update just updated the list of packages available on the repos13:25
BluesKajyes , it does the same thing , sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade , or you can separate those 2 commands to see what is about to be installed/upgraded , James0r13:27
lordievaderBetter to use "sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get upgrade" that way the apt-get upgrade command will only be run when apt-get update has succesfully completed.13:30
BluesKajlordievader. never had a problem with the command i posted13:32
James0rlordievader: yeah i knew about && but hadn't seen the semi-colon before, BluesKaj , interesting to know that there is another way to concatenate  (if that's the word) the commands together13:33
James0rso the semi-colon will run them symultaneously ?13:34
lordievaderJames0r: No, that says run this command next. Doesn't matter if the first completed succesfully or not.13:34
James0rlordievader: by that you mean the semi-colon?13:35
James0ryou guys have any idea what this is referring too? tty_ldisc_hangup_halt: waiting (Xorg) for tty7 took too long, but we keep waiting...13:36
James0rit's in my system log where i get a hang up on logout.13:36
lordievaderJames0r: Yes. The semicolon doesn't care about the previous command && does.13:36
James0rannoying the crap out of me that i can use the logout feature without hanging on a black screen13:36
James0rlordievader: gotcha.13:36
lordievaderJames0r: Display driver that is not responding?13:37
BluesKajok lordievader , good to know about the ; not waiting for the update to complete , however i've never run into a problem withit , altho i have to admit i don't use the 2 commands in a string very often13:38
James0ryeah? i have integrated intel adapter. never had issues before yesterday. been using Linux Mint KDE and others without issues.13:39
James0rlordievader: there way to check if i have the best driver for my adapter?13:39
lordievaderBluesKaj: It waits for it to complete, but if there are errors apt-get upgrade will still be executed. With && apt-get upgrade will not be executed if apt-get update errors.13:39
BluesKajwith intel graphics it's pretty cut and dried , James0r , there aren't many driver options13:40
lordievaderJames0r: pastebin the output of: lspci -k |grep -A 2 VGA13:40
BluesKajok lordievader , thanks13:41
James0rlordievader: http://pastebin.kde.org/patf5s1hs13:42
James0rBluesKaj: yeah that's what i've heard13:43
lordievaderUsually Intel things work fine, but I've seen cases where the driver didn't load for some reason.13:43
lordievaderJames0r: But in your case the correct driver seems to be loaded.13:44
James0rlordievader: okay. thats one thing to check off13:44
James0rthe day before this hangup happened i installed the package to get size and orientation to manipulate my dual monitors13:45
James0rsorta doubting that had much to do with this though13:45
James0rcan't think of anything else i did graphics/monitors wise13:45
BluesKajJames0r. seems I saw a similar complaint yesterday , does,  sudo halt , in the trerminal work ?13:47
James0rBluesKaj: it seemed to suspend and then leave me with the Kubuntu boot up screen13:51
James0ri imagine that command should completely shut you down?13:51
BluesKajyes , halt= shutdown13:53
lordievaderDon't forget the -p flag.13:54
James0ri'm getting a lot of "Nov 19 20:51:16 james-X45C NetworkManager[998]: <warn> nl_recvmsgs() error: (-33) Dump inconsistency detected, interrupted"13:55
James0rin my system log13:55
James0rgonna try to logout again and check the log13:56
BluesKajok bbl , gotta check my backup OS and reboot due to new kernel install13:56
James0ryeah this looks to be defintely the culprit Nov 19 20:56:37 james-X45C kernel: [  418.370768] tty_ldisc_hangup_halt: waiting (Xorg) for tty7 took too long, but we keep waiting...14:02

jtheuerhi, I try to install kubuntu from usb stick to a small partition. It says "X has at least 5.8 gb"… and the "Continue" button is disabled. How can I install kubuntu on a small disk? I only need a few packages (basic kde)16:24
BluesKajjtheuer. you probly need at least 15G for proper installl, , that will leave about 8-9G for other data , an you'll have to run autoremove and auto clean every week or so if you update/upgrade weekly16:27
genii!debootstrap16:27
ubottudebootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information16:27
geniijtheuer: Even for an absolute minimal install of Kubuntu you're looking at around 4 to 6G partition size16:29
jtheuerBluesKaj, The live system only needs 680GB I'm sure I don't need more….16:29
jtheuermb16:29

crowellwhoops, what I was remembering is apparently obsolete :|21:10
JohnDoe_DKOk. No hard feelings ;)21:10
crowelle4rat might be what you're looking for though21:11
geniiJohnDoe_DK: You can add one-time option of: profile    ...to the boot line and it will optimize any old sysvinit scripts and some other small tweaks.21:11
genii( for subsequent boots)21:11
JohnDoe_DKgenii: come again??21:13
JohnDoe_DKcrowell: is it in the repo's?21:14
geniiJohnDoe_DK: When grub menu comes up, just before booting. You edit the line which loads the operating system, adding to the end the word: profile      and then boot with that option one time. It optimizes as I said , the old startup scripts in /etc/init.d directory, plus some other small stuff.21:14
geniiGenerally see 7-10% boot time decrease21:15
JohnDoe_DKgenii: Okay, just the word "profile" and then boot?21:15
crowellgenii: I don't think it is in the repos21:15
crowellJohnDoe_DK: ^^21:15
crowellit also is only useful if you have an HDD, _NOT_ as SSD21:16
geniiJohnDoe_DK: Just the word "profile" yes.21:16
