habananyhey guys i havea question , i recently upgraded kernel to 3.13 rc5 , this is my question , releases candidate upgrade from one release to the next up through aptitude or have to be installed manually01:15
holsteinhabanany: where did you get the kernel?01:35
habananylinuxg.net01:41
habananyholstein ^^01:41
habananyholstein sorry , i dindt mean to send an smile01:42
habananyholstein i send ^ ^01:42
holsteinhabanany: you will maintain it manually. if you want packages to be maintained automaticaly through the package manager, you use repo packages, or ubuntu also supports adding sources with PPA01:43
habananyholstein i upgraded to 3.13 rc5 then i noticed there was another post of 3.13 rc6 so my question is , when i run sudo update sudo upgrade my kernel automatically upgrades or what ?01:46
holsteinhabanany: it depends on the sources.. and how they provide you upgrades. if you are intended to provide the uprgrades, then you will.. if a newer kernel were to come up in the stock packages, that would get installed01:46
holsteinhabanany: if you downloaded, and compiled your own kernel, you will do that each time01:47
habananyholstein thanks , i guess im gonna have to read more if i wnat to learn , i just like to experiment , thanks again01:49
ThomasBI restarted Unity and my global menu "indicator" and indicator applets are gone02:07
ThomasBAny way to restart them?02:08
ThomasBDoing killall unity-panel-service doesn't restore them, even though the panel comes back automatically02:12
ThomasBtest03:44
BeldarThomasB, Have you tried a logout or reboot, I have not heard of restarting or killing unity.03:57
ThomasBYeah, I just restarted03:57
BeldarThomasB, How about the reboot?03:58
ThomasBthat's what i mean my bad03:58
ThomasBI rebooted03:58
ThomasBand it worked03:58
BeldarThomasB, Cool, what was the original issue?03:59
ThomasBNo clue03:59
ThomasBoh03:59
ThomasBthere weren't any indicators03:59
ThomasBbut I don't know why03:59
BeldarThomasB, Ah, generally a unity or compix reset is what I would suggest on releases where the instructions are available.04:00

lfaraoneMy external monitor randomly goes to sleep on 3.12.0-7-generic , only to come back up when I switch to vt0. Sometimes when I switch back to the GNOME vt the monitor stays on, but after a few times doing this it eventually stays off. I have sandybridge integrated graphics on my Lenovo X220. Is there a good way for me to debug this?16:01

ironhalikI'm wondering - what are the main planned features in 14.04? Besides things in 3.12 kernel17:25
ironhalikI know it's kinda early, but I can't find any decent article on the big things17:26
ironhalikeveryone seems to write about TRIM support, as if it was a new thing :P17:26
geniiironhalik: As I understand, a delta-based diff system for updates as well. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ImageBasedUpgrades17:32
ironhalikhmm, looks neat17:49
ironhalikbut it seems like its more aimed at ubuntu touch17:50
ironhalikstill, could be great for OEM installs, with a 'return to stock' button17:50
ironhalikI thought it's more like fedoras presto17:53

pgnomehi, does anyone use gnome and have an external drive?18:09
elhoirhello all - i have a serious problem with Ubuntu 14.04 and my laptop - it freezes, and when rebooting, kernel "panics" when loading AMD CPU microcodes18:09
elhoirthis does not happen in my desktop PC18:09
elhoirso i mnot sure its an Ubuntu problem or a hardware problem18:09
elhoirany clue?18:10
pgnomewhat laptop is it?18:10
pgnomewhich ver. of Ubuntu 14.04?18:10
elhoirlaptop - ASUS k50AF - 4 GB DDR2 RAM - 4500 HD Raden GPU - AMD Turion II M520 CPU18:11
elhoiryes, ubuntu 14.0418:11
pgnomeamd64 ver of 14.04?18:11
elhoiryup18:11
pgnomeoh, thought maybe the laptop can't run 64 bit18:12
elhoirpgnome: nope, i have been using 64bit for a long time ^^18:13
elhoiri thought it was a heat problem, but las time i tested - this morning - CPU was almost idle, just watching a Youtube video18:14
elhoirsound begun looping, i had to reboot via power button (and it rebooted, so Ubuntu wasnt really frozen),18:15
genii!info amd64-microcode18:15
elhoirand then kernel got "panic"18:15
ubottuamd64-microcode (source: amd64-microcode): Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2.20131007.1+really20130710.1 (trusty), package size 27 kB, installed size 106 kB (Only available for i386; amd64)18:15
elhoirgenii: IIRC i installed that package....18:16
pgnomecan you boot up live dvd?18:16
elhoirpgnome: havent tried18:16
pgnomeif it still has the panic, then it could be hardware, I would guess18:16
geniielhoir: Is the cpu overclocked?18:17
elhoirgenii: nop18:17
pgnomehas it worked before ?18:17
elhoirpgnome: yes it did18:17
pgnomealso, your laptop looks like it has the amd radeon chip18:17
pgnomedid you change any graphics drivers?18:17
elhoirpgnome: i use the open source radeon driver18:18
elhoiri used to use the fglrx-legacy from makson96`s PPA18:18
elhoirbut its no longer supported so i switched to open source radeon18:18
pgnomehow soon was that?18:20
elhoirnot very soon.... before upgrading to 14.04 iirc18:20
pgnomejust trying to determine whether there is any possibility of a software problem - I'm probably wrong or on the wrong track18:20
pgnomeI would try a live DVD to see if the problem still happens18:21
elhoirthis does not happen in my desktop PC ---- Intel i3 @ 2.93 GHz -- 8 GB DDR3 RAM -- AMD HD 657018:21
pgnome13.10 or 14.04 - if hardware prob, I think it'd still happen?18:21
elhoirand, it doesnt happen as well if i use Windows18:22
elhoir(7 64bit)18:22
elhoirbut it still might be a hardware problem18:22
pgnomeWindows 7 is on the laptop, too?18:22
elhoirpgnome: yes18:22
pgnomecheck the temps and indicators for your cpu, maybe?18:23
pgnomebut, if it was hardware, windows 7 would maybe blue screen but it's working for you, right?18:23
pgnomesorry, I have no other ideas :(18:24
elhoiri did, but this morning sensors were showing about 70ºC for the CPU when it roze18:24
elhoirfroze*18:24
elhoirbetter18:24
elhoirwhen sound began looping18:24
elhoir(as i said, i was able to reboot, so ubuntu wasnt frozen)18:24
elhoirso you would recommend me to bring laptop to some technician?18:26
pgnomeif you can boot, I'd make sure  lm-sensors is installed and run 'sensors'18:26
pgnomeor use a live dvd and see if it boots - if so, run it there18:26
elhoirpgnome: its installed, for sure18:27
pgnomeyou could try though - see what temps it shows18:27
pgnomein ubuntu18:27
elhoirwhat shold be normal emps?18:27
elhoirtemps*18:27
elhoiroh god18:27
elhoirwhat sould be normal temps?18:27
elhoirshould*  (f**k....)18:28
pgnomeI'd guess 100 is max. temp so it's a bit high when it was 7018:37
pgnomeoh, up to 95 - I read18:38
geniiAMD make good space heaters18:38
pgnomeit's easier to have ok cooling in desktops18:40
pgnomeI don't know what he's doing with it but I would run the temps/sensors program with nothing else running and see what the output is18:41
TJ-elhoir: 70C is hot ... I've dealt with that situation many times... my guess is the cooling radiator in the laptop has become blocked by dust and fluff. Quickest solution, if the laptop allows it, is to remove the bottom cover that is over the CPU/GPU and heatsink fan, remove the heatsink/fan and blow it out with compressed air or otherwise gently remove any blockages. I'd also apply fresh thermal paste to the heatsink before refitting. That'll usually drop the18:46
TJ-operating temperature 10C or more.18:46
elhoiri will bring laptop to some technician ..... i ´d do it myseld if it were the desktop PC, but not the laptop....18:48
elhoirTJ-: laptop have reached 90ºC and more some times18:48
elhoirof course, it freezes18:48
elhoirbut its not the case now18:48
TJ-elhoir: overheats is a better description!18:49
elhoiryeah18:49
elhoirbut its not the case now, it became unuseable even at 70ºC :(18:49
TJ-elhoir: Another option you could try is to re-seat the memory modules. They can become very slightly resistive on the connections... a firm remove and reset will often solve weird crashes.18:50
elhoiraha18:50
elhoiri have to buy this fan http://www.pccomponentes.com/tacens_optimus_netbook_cooler_hasta_15_4_.html18:51
elhoirhad*18:51
elhoirbecause i know laptop overheats18:51
elhoirbut today... it wasnt overheated, for sure18:51
elhoirand also it "freezes" even while fan is plugged in18:52
elhoir:(18:52
elhoirits very frustrating18:54
TJ-elhoir: Don't dismiss overheating entirely... very small local hot-spots can occur if the thermal paste has deteriorated.18:55
elhoirTJ-: i dont, but the problem is much more often when using Ubuntu Linux (almost always) than when using Windows 7 (almost never, it happened few times too, through)18:56
TJ-elhoir: OK... something to consider is how well the ACPI is being interpreted/used by Linux... The ACPI DSDT describes the motherboard devices and how to control them. It used to be quite common that bad DSDT installed by the manufacturer would cause this kind of issue on Linux but not on Windows, since the manufacturers write custom drivers for Windows, whereas Linux has to rely on the ACPI DSDT18:59
elhoirhow can i test it?19:00
TJ-elhoir: Rule out all other possibilities ... ACPI can be a minefield. Ubuntu used to carry patches to allow a custom DSDT be loaded into the kernel, to fix such issues, but I don't know if that is still possible19:02
elhoiranother thing - i have been using BOINC for a time, (not very long, through)19:02
TJ-elhoir: I've rewritten a few DSDTs to fix manufacturer bugs19:02
elhoirand, when using BOINC, issues started,19:03
elhoiri thought it was due to heat problems19:03
elhoir(BOINC rises CPU usage to 100%)19:03
elhoirbut now im not using BOINC anymore because of it, and it crashes too :(19:04
elhoirTJ-: and... if its an ACPI issue... what can i do?19:05
TJ-elhoir: Not a lot, unfortunately19:10
elhoir:(19:10
elhoirwell i will contact  with some technicians..... will report to you19:21
elhoirthank you guys19:21
pgnomeTJ-, you there?21:45
TJ-only just :)21:48
pgnomeoh, I was only going to ask if you ever use an external drive with trusty21:57
TJ-I've been using it on a server with multiple disks on various interfaces21:58
