Kilosmorning all05:33
Squirmmorning05:42
Kiloshi Squirm bduk1 05:44
Kiloswhere were you last night Squirm i needed help05:44
SquirmI'm always here Kilos05:44
Kilosgparted off livecd couldnt resize partitions05:45
Squirmyou just have to say my nick05:45
Kilosoh ok ty05:45
bduk1Morning Kilos ,squirm and everyone else05:45
Squirmhi bduk1 05:45
Kilosim not used to things not working off livecd, have hp lappies got some lock you cant bypass05:46
Squirmshouldn't have05:47
SquirmI've never had an issue with gparted05:47
Squirmwhat was the error?05:47
Squirmand a dvd is 4.7Gb05:48
Kiloswe needed to resize parts to be able to install ubuntu on free space05:48
Squirmit also depends where the free space on the drive is05:49
Kilosit was in windows05:49
Squirmno05:49
SquirmI mean, on the actual drive05:49
Kiloswasnt an unused part05:49
Kilosoh05:50
Squirmif you have <some free space> <Windows> <Some more free space>05:50
Squirmyou can't join the 205:50
Kilosoh you mean it must be a continous space05:50
Squirmyes05:50
Kilosbut anyway the livecd didnt even offer to install alongside05:51
Squirmwhat you could do(which would be very dangerous), is move the windows partition to the beginning05:51
Kilosjust showed partition options05:51
Kilosbut he is getting a dvd to save his stuff to, and should be here today sometime05:53
Kiloshi mazal 05:53
mazalMôre oom05:54
Kilosi struggle if i cant see things in front of me05:54
Kilosalso maybe there is some way to unlock win7 to allow things05:55
Kilosthe resize option didnt have arrows whereby one could resize05:57
* Kilos cries05:57
mazalNo man entry for alias ? Ai06:07
SquirmKilos: Windows 7 shouldn't be the issue06:08
Kilosmaybe its a remastersys dvd that has something missing06:09
Kilosill move some stuff around here and see what i can find06:09
Squirmbut it's not going to break resising a harddrive06:09

mazalNow that looks very interesting Kilos 06:43
Kilosyeah06:43
Kilosthe adapter costs 200 bucks only06:44
Vince-0G'day Ubuntu-ZA07:49
Kiloshi Vince-0 Gotango 07:53
GotangoHi Kilos and Vince-007:53
theblazehenmorning guys07:55
Kiloshi theblazehen 07:55
GotangoMorning theblazehen07:56
GotangoKilos i'm not sure about the HP tools files that has its own partitions. They will be wiped and i worry that the lappy will be buggy after ubuntu runs07:58
Kilosyeah use a dvd to save stuff on rather07:59
Kilosmaybe the lappy wants that for its own use. i dont know enough about lappies to comment08:00
GotangoThen i need to rebuild those partitions again, and SATA drives only allow 4 partitions08:00
Kilosbut08:00
Kilosif you wipe windows and install ubuntu on the whole drive it will work08:00
GotangoHmm, guess your right08:01
GotangoI already hacked off 30 GB data from windows its now 100GB free space08:02
Kilosbut if you boot from the dvd and go the install route then ubuntu should do the sorting of your partitions without probs08:02
Kiloswow08:03
Kilosbut not all in one place?08:03
Kilosyou can run ubuntu on 20g without probs08:03
GotangoI know but , ubutnu will remove windows partitions and create its own over that08:04
Kilosno man08:04
Kilosthats only if you let it use the whole drive08:04
GotangoLike the SWAP , /HOME, /DATA partitions 08:04
GotangoThere can be only 4 partitions08:04
Kilosyes it will make them but not interfere with windows08:05
Kilosubuntu makes logical partitions too08:05
theblazehenGotango, just make a single / partition08:05
Kilosi think thats what they are called08:05
theblazehenand if you need it then use a swap file08:05
GotangoOkay but why is my main drive locked when opened in gparted08:06
Kiloshave you read the probs we had theblazehen 08:06
Kilosgparted couldnt resize08:06
theblazehenKilos, not really. Only heard last part08:06
theblazehenHmm..08:06
GotangoI cant resize or delete anything there with gparted08:06
theblazehentry with just parted?08:07
theblazehenYou booting the gparted live cd right?08:07
GotangoYes 08:07
theblazehenHmm, do you have another drive to spare of equal or greater size?08:08
GotangoNope 08:08
Kilostheblazehen, he is totally new to ubuntu and linux so needs full help08:08
Kiloshe is booting from remastersys dvd08:08
Kilosubuntu 12.0408:08
theblazehenhmm, ok.08:08
theblazehenIn my experience it's totally safe to nuke the vendor's partition from laptops08:09
charlgood morning08:09
charlMaaz: coffee on08:09
* Maaz flips the salt-timer08:09
theblazehenhey ChanServ 08:10
Gotangotheblazehen are you sure the HP_TOOLS partitions are just for windows system recovery08:10
theblazehencharl*08:10
charlhi Kilos, Gotango, theblazehen 08:10
charllol08:10
charlautocomplete fail08:10
theblazehenGotango, has always been my experience08:10
GotangoHi charl08:10
theblazehenGotango, how large is that partition?08:10
GotangoOne is 8GB and the other HP partition is 1.8 GB08:11
theblazehenyou can use clonezilla to store that partition on another drive, as a file08:11
theblazehenYeah, should be just recovery, and driver installers for windows08:11
GotangoOkay08:12
MaazCoffee's ready for charl!08:13
Kiloshi charl 08:14
Kiloslekker to have the blaze kid here to help08:14

charlhi inetpro 09:20
charlhi Squirm 09:20
mazalHey charl09:23
Squirmhey nuvolari 09:55
GotangoKilos i saw Opera browser i could use it without downloading it. I guess it was included in the live cd. Will it be included in the full install too10:04
Kilosyes10:05
Kilosthats all the stuff i have on my running system on the other pc10:05
Kiloshi psyatw 10:05
psyatwhi Kilos10:06
GotangoNice , i like opera, it does'nt do background network processes like other browsers10:06
GotangoHi psyatw10:06
psyatwhi Gotango10:07
psyatwopera is nice and fast10:07
psyatwbut I don´t know what recent versions are like10:07
Kilosyes i like it too10:07
Kilosprefer it to the fox10:07
GotangoTrue psyatw, and one saves alot in data use10:08
psyatwGotango, do you know why that is the case?10:08
psyatwI don´t really have to be concerned about data use, but I´m still curious about the reason for less data use10:09
GotangoBut the latest versions of Opera uses webkit engine , like Chrome. So No more data savings. Opera new versions sucks!10:09
psyatwoh, I see!10:10
psyatwthat10:10
psyatwis a shame10:10
GotangoWell when the webpage is compressed by a fast server and sent to the browser , it improves the speed and memory overhead 10:11
GotangoI used to use Opera mini on the pc with j2me emulator, was the fastest ever! but no animated gifs :p10:13
GotangoSo i will stick with Opera 12.04 until my network speed improves10:14
mazalI have never used opera on pc. Only on my phone. Must maybe give it a go someday10:15
mazalAg great , and there is todays fail10:17
GotangoYeah "someday" mazal ,if you download Opera on pc now, you will need a plugin just to use the bookmarks lol10:17
mazalMy software centre crashes and refuse to open :(10:17
GotangoI had the same problem yesterday. My software center hanged for like 3 minutes everything froze10:18
psyatwhi mazal10:21
psyatwopera was also very fast on my phone and tablet10:21
psyatwhi bduk110:21
bduk1Hi psyatw 10:23
SquirmI use Chrome10:32
Squirmsyncs all my bookmarks, autofills, passwords and open tabs10:32
Squirmuse it on my phone and computers10:33
psyatwhi Squirm10:52
psyatwhi cha10:52
psyatwcharl10:52
* inetpro surprised to find BD-R cheaper than DVD-R11:14
inetprowhen did that happen?11:14
inetprowas looking at the cost per TB of storage media on wikipedia11:15
psyatwhi inetpro11:18
psyatwyes11:18
psyatwwhen did that happen?11:18
inetpropsyatw: hi11:18
psyatwI haven´t followed the optical storage market for the past few years11:18
inetprosame here11:19
inetproactually when you look at the table at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Storage_hierarchy_media_with_costs it even lists BD-R as cheaper than tape11:19
inetprowhich is even more surprising11:20
psyatwyes indeed11:20
inetprowhat I don't see on that table is memory sticks11:22
Kiloswhat is  BD-R11:23
GotangoKilos , my big issue with ubuntu now is that when at idle my lappies fan is blowing like i'm playing a 3D game11:23
inetpronot sure whether you can even compare memory sticks with each other11:23
inetproKilos: Blue-Ray11:23
Kilosaha ty11:23
KilosGotango, forget the fan man you running from a dvd, once installed you worry about stuff like that11:24
inetproBlue-ray Disc capacities are 25 GB for single-layer discs, 50 GB for double-layer discs,[1] 100 GB for triple layer and 128 GB for quadruple layer (in BD-R only)11:24
GotangoWindows dont do that. Ubuntu does'nt seem worth it11:24
Kilosmost likely your win7 is unhappy because it hasnt got control11:24
Kilosai!11:25
inetproGotango: you can run 'sudo powertop' to figure out what is using your power11:26
inetproGotango: oh but Kilos is right11:27
GotangoI dont care about fancy 2D effects taking up cpu time, i just want ubuntu to run at 1 -5 % cpu like windows 7 11:27
inetproit's most likely because you're running from the live cd11:27
Gotangoinetpro if i do that i will have to disable stuff right11:27
Kilosjust run the command in the terminal11:28
inetproGotango: you worry about that when you figure out what causes it11:28
inetpropower usage used to be a problem11:29
inetproand in a way there still is a way to go to improve it but it's way better these days11:29
GotangoOkay, i will let ubuntu format the whole drive. If something goes wrong , someone owe's me a Xubuntu dvd :)11:29
GotangoOkay thats good to know inetpro. If i can configure everything to use less resources , i'm happy11:31
Kiloswow11:32
GotangoI'm not on the live cd now Kilos, my fan goes crazy . Will try that command when i got ubuntu installed11:32
Kilosok11:32
GotangoGlad to see JDK and python already on there :)11:33
Kilosalmost everything you need is there11:33
Kilosapart from web design stuff11:34
Gotangoyeah php and mysql have to install that myself11:34
inetprothis is one of the reasons why we're excited about developments with wayland and mir11:34
inetprohmm11:34
charlhi psyatw :)11:35
psyatwhow are you doing today?11:36
charli'm doing great thanks, yourself?11:36
psyatwI am also doing well, I am finally well-rested after my trip back to poland11:37
psyatwI am going to enjoy my time here while it lasts11:37
charlthat's the right attitude!11:37
charli see the winter is finally coming our way next week11:38
psyatwas I got a job offer in ireland and I am going to respond to it tomorrow11:38
charlup to thus far it's just been a long autumn11:38
psyatwso who knows where I will end up in a few months if I get hired there or elsewhere11:38
psyatwoh11:38
psyatwit´s not very cold here either11:38
charlah nice! i got contacted by a recruiter from ericsson about a job in ireland a few months ago11:39
psyatwvery comparable to the weather in the netherlands11:39
charlericsson was building a "next generation mobile platform" on python or something11:39
psyatwand what happened?11:39
charlrelocation was a must and i wasn't interested in relocating at the time so i turned it down11:39
charli am of the opinion that i can work remotely just as easily and just travel every now and then for in-person meetups11:40
charlhttp://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/9311946 http://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/998720211:41
charli'm not sure if that was it exactly, the one i received was about building a mobile platform on python11:43
charlfirst everyone converged into android and now there are a bunch of platforms that are shooting off again11:43
charlyesterday i was watching a video on tweakers about the new webos from LG11:43
psyatwoh, maybe because one size doesn´t fit all?11:44
charlwell let's face it, android isn't perfect, but if you can't run android apps you have a big disadvantage11:44
psyatwand android doesn´t give the best experience you could get on modern hardware?11:44
psyatwindeed11:44
charlwell android is google so if you trust android you trust google11:45
charlyou can't even install a free application from the google play store without having a google account11:45
charlso having an android device in essence forces you to use google, or at least have a google account11:45
psyatwand how is this a problem for most users?11:46
charlit's like the first version of windows 8.1 that also forced you to log in with a microsoft account, although i see they took that out now11:46
charlwell it's not an issue of a practical problem but it delivers privacy concerns11:46
psyatwyes, I know and I am aware of that11:46
psyatwbut how would other manufacturers´ platforms do any better?11:47
psyatwwouldn´t they want to have similar control over their customers´ user experience?11:47
charlthat's exactly the right question11:47
inetprohmm... 11:47
inetproEricsson playing with words11:48
inetproOSS (Operator Support System)11:48
charlthat's the reason i don't have a mobile phone, i need to have one that runs 100& on foss without killing the warranty11:48
charl*100%11:49
psyatwI have an android phone11:54
psyatwnot because I love android so much11:54
psyatwbut because it has a minimum user experience I can live with11:54
charli used to have a huawei ideos that i brought back with me from kenya11:55
charlthat was the absolute minimum of minimum of android phones, costs about 40 euro11:55
psyatwand I hope I can get one running some software that I really want running on it11:55
psyatwyes11:55
charlexcellent phone, dropped it many times, screen never shattered, and you could actually make calls with it11:55
charlbut for running software it was extremely slow and the camera was bad too11:55
psyatwthat´s the problem11:55
psyatwandroid has become quite heavy11:56
psyatwand the apps even more so11:56
charlopenstreetmap for example was practically unusable11:56
psyatwI have had to uninstall more and more applications lately11:56
psyatwbecause they all got bloated compared to two and a half years ago11:56
charlmy mother has some xperia or something and she uses chatsecure to chat with me via xmpp11:57
charlthe app runs great except it sucks a heck of a lot from the battery11:57
charlapparently whatsapp is much more efficient on the battery but whatsapp is a walled garden11:58
charleven though whatsapp also apparently uses xmpp underneath the water11:58
psyatwI see12:02
psyatwbrb12:02
KilosGotango, whats happening?12:25
GotangoI wana try saving my files to the phone via memory card. Then do the Erase Disk thing12:34
Kiloswhew12:34
GotangoFull Ubuntu install with no windows anywhere. Just like you wished for :)12:35
Kiloswhat made you decide that?12:36
GotangoSo if i dont return here , you know my pc will be dead for a few months lol12:36
Kiloswindows is very useful to have12:37
Kilosfor p[laying games12:37
GotangoI cant resize the main drive , that lock i cant remove it12:37
Kilosno man it will still boot from the cd then you can come ask for help12:37
Kilosaha12:37
GotangoWhen ubutnu has a new partition i will  have to figure out how to rebuild windows partitions manually , thats a headache12:39
Kilosif you gonna erase and use entire disk there wont be any windows partitions to rebuild12:41
Kilosit will be a clean drive with ubuntu12:41
GotangoIf by a miracle i figure out how to rebuild windows partitions , then most likely windows stuff will be corrupted and wont work properly and then space will be wasted by a damaged OS12:42
Kilosext4 so windows pcs cant even see it12:42
Kiloswait12:42
Kilosif you go with the options to partition let us know what is there12:42
Kilosif you dont erase windows partitions then you dont need to rebuild them12:43
Kilosbut if you use the erase disk and install ubuntu there will be absolutely nothing of windows left to find12:43
GotangoBut when i tick Create New partitions" in ubutnu installations , it says all previous partitions will be deleted , then it gives an empty partition list12:44
Kiloswhew i wish i had that thing in front of me12:45
Kilosdoes it show nothing about windows?12:45
mazalBye everyone , have a nice weekend12:45
GotangoNothing, i can only view the files on the drive in ubuntu12:46
Kiloswell then looks like you gotta decide what next step will be. keep windows or do like i did and go straight to ubuntu and work on that12:47
Kilosi am sure you will be able to do all your work with ubuntu12:48
GotangoThe only windows game i play alot is Tricky truck, always get in the top 3 on all tracks , but they wont miss me lol . So windows aint that much important 12:49
GotangoIn my situation i think only option is to Erase everything on disk and install Ubuntu12:50
GotangoHopefully the headaches will be minimal12:51
Kilosok that way you dont need to make any partitions ubuntu does everything for you12:51
Kiloshp is normally very buntu friendly12:52
Gotangoi hope thats true12:53
GotangoSo i'm waiting for my sister so i can link my memory card to her phone, then put my files on it. Uninstall all my windows programs and Erase and Install Ubuntu12:55
Kilosyou dont need to uninstall12:56
Kilosubuntu cleans everything if you go the erase and use entire disk route12:56
GotangoIt will make the installation a bit faster i think12:56
Kilosnope12:56
GotangoOkay 12:57
Kilosubuntu wipes that drive in seconds12:57
Kilosno 2 hour format12:57
Gotangolol i guess so12:57
Kilosiho kbmonkey 14:43
Kilosrather bad connection you have there14:43
Kilosohi too14:43
GotangoKilos , my windows 7 is dead14:56
Kilosoh my14:56
Kilosubuntu installed?14:56
GotangoI got a big problem now14:56
Kiloswhat14:57
Kilosexplain what you did14:57
GotangoI'm using the live cd now. When i try to install ubuntu it installs all the files to disk. But when i try to enter the input fields the mouse dont work and no keyboard keys not working14:58
GotangoI dont know what to do now14:59
Kilosjust use tab until it lights the fields you want to fill in14:59
Kilosoh my no keyboard either15:00
Kiloseeek15:00
GotangoNo keys no mouse15:00
Kiloscharl, ideas?15:00
GotangoWhy is it only working on live cd /15:00
Kiloshave you got others you can plug into usb?15:00
GotangoNope15:01
Kilosubuntu loves usb stuff15:01
KilosSquirm, help15:01
Kiloso wait ThatGraemeGuy you got an old hp lappy hey15:02
ThatGraemeGuyyes15:02
Kilosif he has he will know what to do15:02
Kilosthis one dont have mouse or keyboard working on install15:02
charlhi Kilos 15:03
charlreading15:03
ThatGraemeGuyweird :-/15:03
ThatGraemeGuyI'm afraid you give me too much credit, I don't know what that could be15:03
charli have no idea either, sorry15:03
Kiloslol its supposed to just work with hp stuff15:03
charlsounds like a very strange bug, one i have never experienced myself15:03
charlwith lenovo that is usually the cast, i don't know about hp15:04
Kilosi made the iso from my desktop, could that be the prob?15:04
charlyou made the iso from your desktop? sorry not sure what you mean15:04
GotangoBut everything works fine in the live cd15:05
KilosGotango, someone close by you know must have usb keyboard and mouse to loan you15:05
GotangoShould i install ubuntu again , even though its installed already15:05
Kilosi made a remastersys iso from my running 12.04 and sent it to him15:05
GotangoNope  kilos no pc nerds near by15:05
Kilostry install again Gotango it must see them15:06
ThatGraemeGuyuse official isos15:06
Kilosonce the install gets to detecting hardware it will see everything15:06
GotangoOkay i will try again15:07
Kilosi dont have ThatGraemeGuy and he hasnt the data to download15:07
Kilosi only use remastersys isos now because they are up to date with everything15:07
charloh i see15:08
ThatGraemeGuythen don't install. you don't go hacking together installers unless you are 110% familiar with everything that goes on behind the scenes15:08
Kilosif he was closer id lend him a mouse and keyboard15:08
Kiloshe has already installed as far as it goes before usung keyboard and mouse15:09
Kilosso his win7 is gone15:09
Kilosshoulda told him to keep wiggling the mouse while installing15:09
ThatGraemeGuyall of which would likely be avoided if the official installer was used. the ubuntu installer allows for resizing windows installs non-destructively15:10
Kilosso does the remastersys here15:12
Kilosyou dont see any diffs from the official one except that everything is updated and includes whats installed15:12
Kilosso 2.2g dvd not 1.215:12
ThatGraemeGuyok15:13
ThatGraemeGuywell i don't know the answer15:13
Kilosoh no 12.04 was under 730m15:13
ThatGraemeGuyand no official support channel is going to help out with a non-official iso15:13
Kilosi asked maia to mail him the official cd but havent heard15:14
Kilosthen he could use my dvd for updating15:14
Kilosive used the remastersys dvd's on 3 different machines but all desktops15:15
Kiloslemme mail maia15:15
Kilosmaybe she forgot15:20
Kilosmaybe he can go via the try ubuntu route and then install from there while he has mouse and kb working15:23
charlyay new telephone arrived today http://www.aastra.com/aastra-6725ip.htm15:47
charlnow i just need to get power over ethernet activated on my network port15:48

Kiloswait i scroll back17:27
Gotangook17:27
Kilos'sudo powertop'17:31
Gotangookay17:31
Kilosno quotes17:31
Kilospeeps always put commands in quotes but dont use them unless they in the middle of the command17:31
Gotangosudo: powertop: command not found17:32
Kilossudo apt-get install powertop17:32
GotangoHow big is that17:32
Kilosim checking17:33
Gotangookay17:33
Kilos125 kB17:33
GotangoNice thats small17:33
Kilosand will install another dependancy with it17:34
GotangoHmm 17:34
Kilos163kB17:34
Gotangookay17:34
Kilosmost linux files are small17:35
Kilosalso now you dont install anything from cds17:35
GotangoE: Unable to locate package powertop17:35
Kilosoh my you gotta first run sudo apt-get update and thats about 20m17:36
GotangoWhat? and what is in there17:37
Kilosif we had used that before a made the dvd i woulda installed it too17:37
Kilosthats tells your system what is available17:37
Kilosthere are thousands of apps in the repos17:38
Kilosthat update command finds them17:38
GotangoSo the powertop package is in that update17:38
Kiloswhat happens is you have now got what i have on other pc17:39
Kilosso anything i dont have needs to be found and that update tells your pc what is available17:40
GotangoWell i'm a bit happy now my fan is blowing like it did on windows17:40
GotangoDunno how long it will be like this17:40
Kilosisnt it supposed to blow17:41
Gotangoyes but it blew too fast , like it did when i was playing 3D games17:41
GotangoNow it blows gently almost cant hear it17:42
Kilosthere are lots off apps, when you have data to install synaptic 8m then you will see them all after the update17:42
Kilosoh thats good17:42
Kilosjust open launcher and type in synaptic17:42
Kilosit should be there already17:43
Gotangomaybe in time ubuntu will integrate better in the system17:43
GotangoIts ok i dont need apps now17:43
Gotangowill try synaptic soon17:43
Kilosnow man17:43
Kilosi want to see if its there17:44
GotangoWhy now17:44
Kilosbecause i say so17:44
Gotangooh17:44
Kilosthere is another setting to do to save all packages17:44
Gotangoyes its here17:44
GotangoNow what17:45
Kilosok open it but tick nothing17:45
Gotangoyip17:45
Kilosit will show what packages you have installed already17:45
Gotangoyes here are lots17:46
Kilostick settings and preferences17:46
Gotangookay17:46
Kilosthen files17:46
Gotangookay17:46
Kilosand tick leave all downloaded packages in the cache17:47
GotangoIts already ticked17:47
Kilosgood thats how i did that one17:47
Gotangonice17:47
Kilosclose it17:48
Gotangookay17:48
Kilosin the top window you can type the type of app you need17:48
Kilosand it will show whats available17:48
Gotangolike what type app ?17:49
Kiloslike mysql17:49
Kilosyou will see what mysql is already installed and what else you can get17:50
GotangoThere's no mysql in there17:50
Kilosbut you will need to do that 20m update to see everything17:50
Gotangookay17:51
Kilosmight be a bit less than 20m17:51
Gotangofan is blowing too hot again, eish :/17:51
Kilostoo hot would shut pc down17:51
Kilosthe harder the fan blows the more its cooling cpu and mobo stuff17:52
GotangoYes i cant even put my hand near it burns17:52
Kilosyou mean the air coming out is hot17:52
GotangoThats not the way it is supposed to be17:53
Kiloswhat is hot the lappy or the air17:53
GotangoI expect this much cpu abuse from playing 3D games17:53
Gotangoboth17:53
Kiloswait lemme talk to my son a bit17:54
Kilosi never used a lappy17:54
Gotangookay17:54
Kiloshe says heat is normal but gets worse if lappy is on a blanket or something soft17:55
Kilosalso it could be dirty inside17:56
Kilosmight need to be blown clean'17:56
Kiloswhere are all the lappy peeps with help here17:57
KilosSquirm, ?17:57
Gotangoi now but this is insane , i want settings that can switch to less resources being used by ubuntu17:57
GotangoIts uncomfortable17:57
GotangoThey probably out at parties17:58
Kiloswell you will need that update to get the top package so one can see whats running17:59
Gotangookay i will download it 17:59
Kilosalso you can look in startup apps17:59
Kilosand turn off some you dont need18:00
Kilosdont forget that iso comes from a desktop18:00
GotangoNVIDIA X Server Settings are at startup applications18:00
Gotangoremove it ?18:01
Kiloswe will need more info and help here18:01
Kilosdo you know what graphics is in there18:02
GotangoI got ATI graphics card not Nvidia18:02
Kilosthen you should be safe doing sudo aptitude remove nvidia-settings18:03
SquirmKilos18:03
KilosSquirm, please help the man some im not a lappy person18:03
Gotangoor just tick Remove button ?18:04
Kilosyes that too18:04
Kilosthere should be more nvidia stuff installed18:04
Kilosin synaptic you can type in nvidia and it will show whats installed18:04
Kilosthen right click it and uninstall i think it is18:05
GotangoThe fan returns to slow gentle blow, but when i move a window its starts blowing like crazy hot18:05
Squirmyou won't really be able to help that18:05
Squirmyou just need to let as much air flow as you can18:06
Kiloswell you might still find i have stuff installed that lappy doesnt need18:06
Squirmlike.. maybe instead of resting it on the table, rest it on four blocks, one in each corner18:06
Squirmand you also get things like this18:07
Squirmhttp://www.groundswell.biz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/laptop-cooling-pads-review4.jpg18:07
Squirmthey can be usb powered, blows air onto the underside of your laptop18:08
Gotangohey Squirm. That sounds fair , but is'nt there a way to turn ubuntu to use less cpu18:08
KilosSquirm, he cant browse muc with only 500m data a month18:08
Kilosoh i saw somewhere low cpu18:08
Kilosdont ask me where18:08
GotangoCause it high cpu usage that cause the fan to blow insane speeds18:08
GotangoI mean at idle it should not be this hot18:09
Squirmcheck task manager?18:09
Squirmwhat's keeping your CPU running?18:10
GotangoI dunno , i cant check cpu usage 18:10
GotangoDunno where much of anything is in ubuntu18:10
Kilosthere is a cpu usage app18:11
GotangoDo you know that app Kilos18:11
Kiloslooking18:11
Gotangookay18:12
Kilospress a windows key and check18:12
Kilossystem monitor18:13
GotangoI got system monitor18:13
Kilosyay i havent18:13
Kiloswhat do you see18:14
Gotangoboth cores are at 15% , compared to windows 1% its not what i want18:15
Kiloslook in synaptic if you have linuxinfo18:15
Kilosstop fussing man or ill send you a windows cd18:16
Kilosgive peace a chance18:17
Gotangonothing about linux info18:17
Kilosyou have to get a desktops iso to match your lappy 18:17
Kilosok so that will come after sudo apt-get update18:17
GotangoI dunno man , i just wana turn off this laptop and give it away18:18
Kilosalso did you look for nvidia packages installes18:18
Kilosno man18:19
Gotangothis cpu is messing up everything18:19
Kilosno man18:19
Gotangoyes there are a few in synaptic18:20
Kiloswhew todays peeps are so impatient18:20
Kilosthen right click remove18:20
GotangoYou mean remove all nvidia stuff in synaptic18:21
Kilosnvidia-173 should be there18:22
Kilosmaybe 173-updates18:22
Kilosremove them18:22
GotangoTheres more 18:22
Gotangonvidia-common18:23
Gotangonvidia-settings-304-updates18:23
Gotangonvidia-settings-30418:23
Gotangonvidia-settings-updates18:23
Gotangonvidia-settings18:23
Gotangonvidia-17318:24
Kilosremove the 304 and the settings and the settings updates18:24
Kilosi think all of them18:24
Gotangookay18:25
Kilosif screen dies you havent got any ati drivers going18:25
GotangoNope18:25
GotangoThose are big i think more than 100mb18:26
Kilosthere should be some basic ati stuff installed i think18:27
Gotangoxserver-xorg-video-ati18:28
Kilosyeah leave that18:28
Gotangoxserver-xorg-video-radeon18:28
Gotangoradeontool18:28
Kilosleave that18:28
Kilosyes18:28
Gotangookay18:29
Kilosso thats keeping you going18:29
Kilosi only have nvidia graphics18:29
GotangoStill doesnt explain the enormous cpu usage18:30
GotangoI wish i had Xubuntu right about now18:31
Kilosyou need clever peeps help here and need to get that top thing18:31
Kilosai!18:31
GotangoThese fancy unity effects ruin everything18:31
GotangoHow do i disable the transparency18:32
Gotangoor set it to none18:32
Kilosyou can install mate in there for a light system but you will need lotsa data18:32
Kilosyou have a settings tool on the left18:33
Kiloshover and look18:33
Gotangonah dont want mate18:33
Kiloslike a gear and spanner18:33
Kilossystem settings18:33
Kilosmaybe thats where i saw low cpu18:33
Gotangookay will check18:34
Kilosive seen some peeps complain about 90 or 100% cpu usage. you the frist one to complain about 15%18:35
GotangoCause they got desktops with the tower out of burning touch18:37
Kiloslol18:37
GotangoI can almost cook an egg on this lappy now18:37
Kilosmaybe its dirty inside or the heat sink on the cpu is full of dust18:38
Kilosor it has 2 fans and one is dead18:38
GotangoNope, i expect it to work like windows , cool and calm 18:39
Kiloswow18:39
Kilosit will once sorted18:39
GotangoBesides i cant open this thing18:39
Kilosya lappies are painful to open18:39
Gotangoin system details it says . Graphics : Unknown18:41
Kilostype in top18:41
GotangoWhere18:41
Kilosyes it will most likely have additional drivers if you want full graphics working18:41
Kilosin terminal18:42
Gotangookay18:42
Kilosdont forget you have more than one workspace'18:42
Gotangoonly got one now18:43
Kiloshow many does it show, just the 4?18:43
Kilosright click remove all the libre office stuff from launcher18:43
Kilosor scroll down there18:43
Kilosshould see 4 at least18:43
Kilosat the bottom18:44
Gotangoyeah theres 4, but im used to minimising stuff18:44
Kilosdid top show anything18:47
GotangoGnome-system-mo , and Xorg are using 10% cpu each , the rest are 0%18:48
Kilososo that system monitor is using 10% close it18:49
Kilosxorg is graphics18:49
Gotangohow do i close gnome-system-mo ?18:50
Kilosoh is that not that thing you opened with the windows key18:50
GotangoYes lol, its closed it , now Xorg is at 2%18:52
Kilosyay18:52
GotangoI'm a bit happy there :)18:52
Kilosyay18:53
GotangoBut fan still going crazy18:53
GotangoNow its settling18:53
Gotangoslowly18:53
Kilosyou will find that with the correect ati drivers things get a bit more efficient18:53
Gotangonow its at windows type idle speed18:54
Kilosand outside fan blowing onto lappy with help cool case18:54
Gotangookay so i guess its the graphics drivers that cause the most issues here18:54
Kilosthats what i think at the moment18:55
Kilosbut they are all big data18:55
Kilosubuntu will find the right drivers for the lappy when you got data to spare18:56
GotangoSo i should look for ATI Radeon linux drivers for this lappy right18:56
Kilosyou go to the launcher and type in additional18:56
GotangoIf its worth it i will do it18:56
Kilosthen it will look what the lappy needs18:56
Kilosyou will first need to do sudo apt-get update18:57
GotangoDoes it show the size18:57
GotangoI mean the size of the drivers when it found it18:57
GotangoFunny when i move a window slowly the cpu i calm , but when i move it fast the fan goes crazy18:59
Kilosi dont think so it shows what it finds and then downloads and installs if you tick install18:59
GotangoIt must really be the graphics drivers18:59
Kiloshow do you move a window18:59
GotangoI just grab the top bar of the window and move it out the way19:00
Gotangoor where i wnt it19:00
Kiloslol19:00
Kilosi have xchat full screen on one workspace19:01
GotangoWhy lol 19:01
Kilosevolution mail on another pidgin on another opera on another19:01
GotangoWhy switch so many workspaces19:01
Kiloslekker then i dont have to maximised minimise move etc19:02
Gotangolol19:02
Gotangothis lappy dont like that19:02
Kilosi have only one old eye to see things with19:02
Gotangothe fan again19:02
Kilosit will i betcha19:02
Kilosdont forget you are running an iso matched to my desktop pc19:03
Gotangoi hope so , when the correct drivers are in here19:03
Gotangolol i got a lazy eye19:03
Kilosbut you have 900m of data you dont need to download19:03
Gotangoyes thanks for that, i appritiate it man :019:04
Gotango:)19:04
GotangoThe rest is up to me19:04
Kilosover the 2 years 12.04 has been going i have downloaded 8.2g of packages19:04
Kilosand i save them all19:05
Gotangowow thats alot. I wont need any updates19:05
Gotangoor dont want any19:05
Kiloscant do a clean install and full update upgrade and use about 30m download data19:05
Kilosyou need that first update to see whats available19:06
Kilosupgrading is optional19:06
GotangoI or we, can do that tomorow , its almost your bedtime now :)19:07
Kilosto get mysql and stuff you have to do that first sudo apt-get update19:07
Kilosit doesnt update anything on the pc but updates what is available from the repos19:08
GotangoThats good19:08
Kilosyes you need that to go on19:08
GotangoI can download that tomorow , will take about 30minutes with the network speed here19:09
Kiloscool19:09
Gotangoif it aint more than 20mb19:10
Kilosshouldnt be19:10
Kilosmight be a bit less19:10
Gotangonice19:10
GotangoI just want the tools that will get ubuntu to use less resources and background processes19:11
Kilosthen you go visit someone with uncapped adsl and upgrade19:11
Kilosthen that the additional for ati19:11
Kiloswhat else is running in startup apps that you dont need19:12
Kilosbluetooth19:12
Kilosno im thinking of wrong thing19:13
GotangoIt was only Nvidia there19:13
Kilosya there is something else that shows lots19:13
Kiloswill dream about it19:13
GotangoI dont like the transparency effects here , cant it be disabled19:13
Kilosok then im glad at least its working19:13
Kilosnight all sleep tight19:14
Kilosmust be some way to do everything19:14
Kilosbut thats for clever peeps19:14
Gotangonight Kilos thanks for the help :)19:14
