[06:21] <hyper_ch> why does dpkg-reconfigure locales on 14.04 desktop just regenerate the languages but not offer the selection of what languages to use?
[06:22] <Beldar> hyper_ch, You have to download the languages, if you install a dvd version there are there.
[06:22] <Beldar> they*
[06:22] <hyper_ch> Beldar: dpkg-reconfigure locales should present that normal blue selection screen where you can tick off what languages you want to install and which one should be default
[06:23] <hyper_ch> however when I run it, it just re-generates the languages but no selection screen is offered
[06:24] <hyper_ch> something like this should appear http://vberry.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/install26.png
[10:39] <hyper_ch> why does dpkg-reconfigure locales on 14.04 desktop just regenerate the languages but not offer the selection of what languages to use?
[11:39] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:47] <hyper_ch> hi BluesKaj
[11:56] <BluesKaj> hey hyper_ch
[11:57] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: you're Mr. Kubuntu, right?
[11:58] <BluesKaj> I do run kubuntu, if that\s what you mean
[11:58] <hyper_ch> I have a problem.. my root terminal has vor some reason this in it when I rune locale:  LANGUAGE=en_US:de:en
[11:58] <hyper_ch> this seems to cause all the text in german.... very unused to me
[11:58] <hyper_ch> however when I run   dpkg-reconfigure locales
[11:59] <hyper_ch> it just regenerates the locales instead of presenting that nice screen in which you can select what languages you want to install
[12:02] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, try the GUI in system settings > locale> country and language tabs
[12:03] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: for my user it's fine... but sudo/root has issues
[12:04] <hyper_ch> actually, also for me the terminal is in german... ieeeks
[12:05] <hyper_ch> I remove german now from the languages in systemsettings
[12:05] <hyper_ch> I'll see tonight if that changes a thing when I re-login :)
[12:06] <BluesKaj> sorry i have no experience with that , seems like an admin / group thing
[18:35] <randomcpp> I've seen linux kernel has been updated to 3.13, does it include radeon.dpm=1 or is this disabled by default?
[18:36] <hyper_ch> randomcpp: how to find out :)
[18:36] <hyper_ch> I'm running it already
[18:38] <hyper_ch> cat config-3.13.0-1-generic | grep "radeon"
[18:38] <hyper_ch> hyper@subi:/boot$
[18:38] <hyper_ch> looks like it's disabled
[18:39] <randomcpp> it doesn't matter actually, just to know if I could remove the flag from the kernel boot line or not..
[18:40] <hyper_ch> for the 19 minutes (according to uptime) that I've been running kernel 3.13 it's been an awesome experience :)
[18:41] <randomcpp> do you have an amd gpu?
[18:41] <hyper_ch> no, nVidia Optimus
[18:42] <hyper_ch> 3.12 was the reason why I already re-installed to tary
[18:48] <BluesKaj> optimus running ok , hyper_ch ? how are your graphics ?
[18:48] <hyper_ch> colourful :)
[18:48] <hyper_ch> not really sure how to test it :)
[18:48] <hyper_ch> I just thought the kernel does it now automagically
[18:49] <sergio-br2> hello
[18:49] <sergio-br2> hyper_ch, do you use bumblebee for your card?
[18:49] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: removing german from systemsettings -> languages helped
[18:50] <hyper_ch> sergio-br2: doesn't kernel 3.12 make that obsolete?
[18:50] <sergio-br2> hum, i don't know
[18:50] <sergio-br2> is it using nvidia-prime?
[18:50] <hyper_ch> no idea how to find out
[18:50] <hyper_ch> I just thought kernel handles that automagically
[18:50] <hyper_ch> like everyting else
[18:51] <sergio-br2> i know that my optimus card is not working with 3.12 kernel + bumblebee
[18:51] <BluesKaj> system settings > desktop effects> advanced tab> OpenGL 3.1, Qt graphics=raster
[18:51] <hyper_ch> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ0ODM
[18:52] <sergio-br2> hyper_ch, but you are using nouveau?
[18:52] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: and then?
[18:53] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, yeah too bad is's restricted to the nouveau driver , altho nouveau is quite good now
[18:53] <hyper_ch> using nouveau
[18:53] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: after setting to raster, what to do then?
[18:54] <BluesKaj> click enter
[18:54] <BluesKaj> at the bottom right
[18:54] <hyper_ch> ok, I foudn that :)
[18:54] <hyper_ch> what else?
[18:54] <BluesKaj> or apply
[18:54] <hyper_ch> how to test it now?
[18:55] <BluesKaj> try some fancy desktop effects like cube amination or wobbly windows etc
[18:55] <hyper_ch> I have those deactivated
[18:55] <hyper_ch> and glxgears just slows down to my screen refresh rate
[18:55] <BluesKaj> then activate them
[18:55] <hyper_ch> and then?
[18:56] <BluesKaj> good quick test
[18:56] <hyper_ch> I activated wobbly windows
[18:56] <BluesKaj> grab a window in the titlebar and move it back and forth
[18:56] <hyper_ch> but still, how to know if it uses nvidia for that?
[18:57] <BluesKaj> see if wobbles :)\
[18:57] <hyper_ch> it does
[18:57] <BluesKaj> it does
[18:57] <BluesKaj> nouveau is the default nvidia driver
[18:57] <hyper_ch> but it does it also with opengl 2.0 and native
[18:58] <BluesKaj> yeah try glxgears with full screen
[18:59] <hyper_ch> works all fine
[18:59] <BluesKaj> should get at least 60fps
[19:00] <hyper_ch> yes, I do on 24"
[19:00] <hyper_ch> or rather 2x 24"
[19:00] <BluesKaj> good, then you're good to go
[19:01] <hyper_ch> yey, I rock :)
[19:02] <hyper_ch> thx blues
[19:02] <hyper_ch> btw, did you know about a super awesome feature in kate?   code map scroll bar?
[19:03] <BluesKaj> this laptop doesn't have nvidia , just the intel onboard gpu with i915 driver but it's working nicely here
[19:04] <hyper_ch> :)
[19:06] <hyper_ch> saw that yesterday in that Seigo video with the cute cat in it
[19:07] <BluesKaj> don't see that in kate configure , what does code map scroll bar do ?
[19:07] <hyper_ch> Blue$
[19:08] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: Kate -> Settings -> Configure -> Appearance -> Borders Tab and check "Show scroll mini map"
[19:08] <hyper_ch> and then open some code
[19:09] <hyper_ch> so, deactivated wobbly windows again
[19:11] <hyper_ch> found it?
[19:11] <BluesKaj> yeah , but the font's too small to read so it doesn't help much
[19:12] <hyper_ch> but you recognize the code pattern more easily
[19:12] <hyper_ch> :9
[19:12] <BluesKaj> <---laptop
[19:12] <hyper_ch> I think it's awesome
[19:12] <hyper_ch> <-- laptop with 2x 24" external
[19:13] <BluesKaj> might fine for the desktop which uses the TV as monitor
[19:13] <BluesKaj> be
[19:13] <hyper_ch> well, I think it's awesome feature :)
