[00:01] <valorie> aren't effects coming from kwin?
[00:11] <ahmadfaris> Hello
[00:23] <keithzg> valorie: Yeah, or not coming, as it may be ;)
[00:24] <keithzg> I had just suspected that the same root cause was behind lightdm not starting and desktop effects failing, but it seems I was wrong.
[00:24] <valorie> yes, that seems very possible
[00:24] <valorie> coincidences have thrown me off a hundred times
[00:59] <keithzg> Aha! The Xorg log showed it trying (and failing) to load an NVIDIA GLX module, which made no sense for this all-Intel box.
[00:59] <keithzg> A quick purge (metaphorically speaking) of all nvidia packages et voila, wobbly windows and transparent Yakuake :)
[01:00] <keithzg> ...although the tearing is painful, I swear performance has gone down a lot since 13.04. Oh well.
[02:10] <Aristide> Hi !
[02:11] <Aristide> I have a BIG problem with mouse in Kubuntu
[02:11] <Aristide> Mouse disappear every 2 or 3 seconds, and I must move cursor for display cursor and disappear again after 2 or 3s of inactivity
[02:12] <Aristide> In desktop, its cool, but while playing game, every 2 or 3 secondes, mouse is put to screen center ...
[02:42] <Erthe> Anyone know how to remove a plasma widget that failed?
[02:49] <apb1963> Anyone know how I can downgrade Qt from 4.8.2 to 4.8.1 ?
[04:38] <gustavo> I can't to install the Ubuntu on my Desktop. It stops in 45% and tells me an error. By the virtual machine, installs without problems.
[06:02] <vivid> is there some way to change sound devices quickly?
[06:02] <vivid> the sound settings priority list is a really cumbersome way to swap devices.....there's got to be a faster way
[06:08] <ForgeAus> ok so its not exactly a kubuntu question but does anyone know if hot weather can cause an ADSL modem to drop out?
[06:09] <ForgeAus> its ok when I reset it again, just the last few days its been 44 or so degrees (celsius) temperatures and since yesterday it had a few drop outs

[08:30] <Welshrob> Hello, can someone tell me if Kbuntu will install to a 2gb CF card?
[08:54] <alvin> No, it's larger than that. Kubuntu isn't fit for embedded systems.
[10:29] <rony> ciao
[11:22] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:15] <Aristide> Hi !
[12:15] <Aristide> I have a big problem with mouse in Kubuntu
[12:16] <Aristide> Mouse disappear every 2 seconds if don't move cursor
[12:16] <Aristide> In desktop is not a problem, but in Many games, every 2s, cursor is put to screen center :(
[12:17] <neotheo> do you have the t0ol 'unclutter' installed?
[12:17] <neotheo> tool*
[12:17] <Aristide> neotheo: Wait I finish to install a software and check
[12:18] <neotheo> np, dpkg's description of the utility is: hides the mouse cursor in X after a period of inactivity
[12:19] <Aristide> Yes neotheo :)
[12:19] <Aristide> Ok
[12:19] <Aristide> Oyeah :)
[12:19] <Aristide> I reboot
[13:13] <Aristide> Thank you neotheo :)

[14:51] <J70> Hi, is there a Kubuntu beta available?
[14:51] <J70> 14.04 that is...
[14:57] <genii> J70: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ always has the latest
[14:58] <genii> J70: Sorry, Kubuntu specific images here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/
[15:02] <J70> @genii Thanks!

[16:17] <wulong> if this quassel  support chinese ,that will be better
[17:41] <arthurfiggis> hello :) hopefully this isn't an off-topic or abrasive question, but i'm considering using kubuntu as an alternative to ubuntu proper due to some of the stuff they're including in unity lately.. :( i know kubuntu is an official derivative so a lot of the same packages are used, is there any sort of verification done to make sure they aren't bundled with something nasty?
[17:43] <lordievader> arthurfiggis: Kubuntu uses the Ubuntu base. Most of the stuff you are talking about is included in Unity. I haven't seen any nasty stuff on Kubuntu.
[17:44] <arthurfiggis> lordievader: oh yes, as far as i know it's exclusive to unity for that matter...but i'm not an expert so i figured i would throw the question out there :) i kind of steered away from mint's kde spin for the same reason, mint's desktop meta-packages all have a weird dependency on an extension called "mint search enhancer" and i have yet to either see the source or even a precise explanation...
[17:44] <arthurfiggis> ...of what it actually does :/
[17:45] <lordievader> arthurfiggis: Join the family of Kubuntu users :D
[17:46] <arthurfiggis> lordievader: i might just have to :) i've been using kde on debian stable and now that there's some recent versions of things in backports it's actually quite nice...but the version of libc in stable is still too old to use steam, which is what i'd like to try running :)
[17:47] <Mrodri> hello everybody, I am comming back to IRC  from a very long time
[17:47] <Mrodri> i dont remember anything abou it
[17:47] <lordievader> Mrodri: Welcome back ;)
[17:47] <Mrodri> so I am trying to open a new channel and I was wondering if i can get some help in here
[17:48] <Mrodri> the channel is #chrubuntu
[17:48] <lordievader> Mrodri: /join #chrubuntu (and if it doesn't exist: /join ##chrubuntu)
[17:49] <Mrodri> ooh cool thank you very much lordievader ;-)
[17:49] <Mrodri> it wonked .... I am having dome issues on my chrome ubuntu hybrid and I want to look for some help in here
[17:49] <Mrodri> Have a nice day
[17:50] <lordievader> Mrodri: No problem ;)
[17:55] <gustavo> I've loss two cds to try burn the Kubuntu. The cd not is working.
[19:10] <pgquiles> is anyone using kubuntu 13.10 or 14.04 with a hybrid hard drive? While the performance under Windows 7 is very good, I'm getting awful performance under Linux, system is almost unusable when IO is taking place :-/
[19:14] <BluesKaj> pgquiles, hybrid HDD ?
[19:16] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: SSHD is what they call them
[19:17] <BluesKaj> hybrids aren't ssds, afaik
[19:18] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: hybrid = magnetic hard drive with ssd cache
[19:18] <pgquiles> it's the reason they are called hybrids
[19:18] <BluesKaj> anyway, what do you think is the problem, have you checked top to see what processes are running that could be usng up resources
[19:19] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: done that already, slowness for no good reason
[19:19] <pgquiles> iotop, etc
[19:19] <BluesKaj> akonadi, nepomuk indexing maybe?
[19:19] <pgquiles> http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/laptop-hard-drives/laptop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/?sku=ST1000LM014
[19:19] <pgquiles> no, all of that is already disabled
[19:27] <BluesKaj> did you install the OS to the ssd or the hdd ?
[19:33] <genii> pgquiles: Probably uses the problemmatic Intel Z68 chipset
[19:34] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: SSHD is not ssd + hdd but one piece. It's not fusion drive.
[19:34] <genii> Ah, nvm, I missed the url which shows it's a seagate
[19:35] <genii> BluesKaj: The hybrid types are supposed to appear as a single drive to the OS even though internally they contain both platters and SSD
[19:40] <BluesKaj> genii, yeah, i thought they would show as separate partitions
[19:41] <genii> BluesKaj: That's where either the drive chipset does the work seamlessly to the OS, or the OS driver does it ( in the Intel case the OS does it)
[19:45] <BluesKaj> hmm, wonder why pgquiles has such poor response
[19:46]  * pgquiles wonders too :-(
[19:46] <BluesKaj> don't see much on google about it
[19:47] <genii> It could this drive is too new for the problems to be widely known yet
[19:48] <pgquiles> don't know
[19:48] <pgquiles> my old hdd was broken and this sshd had a very good price: 100 eur (~130 usd) for the 1 tb drive
[19:49] <BluesKaj> pgquiles, maybe you'll find this useful, http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=124299
[19:49] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: thank you
[19:50] <pgquiles> BluesKaj: it doesn't apply to my case. That's for the case where you have a separate ssd + magnetic hdd
[19:50] <BluesKaj> it's not kubuntu , but it is an ubuntu derivative
[19:50] <BluesKaj> bummer
[20:07] <genii> pgquiles: What says the result of: parted /dev/sda print       ( eg, are the two numbers in the "Sector size" line the same ?) ... if not /dev/sda then adjust accordingly...
[20:07] <genii> ( it may be a 4K drive formatted to 512K)
[21:29] <pgquiles> genii: Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
[21:33] <genii> pgquiles: I think there's your problem.
[21:33] <pgquiles> genii: I'm reading about partition alignment but I'm not sure how to verify whether this is the problem or not
[21:44] <pgquiles> genii: KDE Partition Manager shows a lot of warnings like this "Partition '/dev/sda3' does not start at a cylinder boundary (first sector: 399,120,383, modulo: 1,524)" and "Partition: '/dev/sda3' does not end at a cylinder boundary (first sector: 399,120,384, modulo: 1,524)"
[21:44] <pgquiles> I guess I am affected by unaligned reads and writes, which means I need to repartition my disk :-/
[21:46] <pgquiles> and to complicate things more, it's a mac and those wrongly-aligned partitions were the result of allowing Mac OS X partition the disk. Who knows how will Mac OS X react to a libparted-partitioned disk? (OS X seems to leave a lot of mysterious gaps between partitions)
[21:47] <genii> pgquiles: What version of Kubuntu are you using?
[21:47] <pgquiles> genii: trusty
[21:50] <genii> Ah, OK. Then it should have already in the kernel support for the 4K situation. I'm reading a bit about this here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337693/how-to-format-a-4k-sector-hard-drive
[21:54] <pgquiles> genii: I found that too but IIRC, that link talks about *supporting* 4K situations, i. e. making it work, no matter the performance. Other websites seem to indicate unless I properly align partitions, performance will always be seriously degraded :-(
[21:55] <genii> pgquiles: Yes, that seems to pretty match what I've been finding also.
[21:56] <pgquiles> which means the os x 10.9 disk utility is not smart enough to deal with 4k disks. Ugh.
[22:08] <pgquiles> genii: thank you!
[22:15] <genii> pgquiles: Sorry not to be of more assistance, but at least we know more about the subject now :)
[22:35] <kunguz> I am lost with ulimit
[22:35] <kunguz> Can one limit whole memory usage to a certain number with ulimit? To my experince it can limit per process, not the total memory.
[22:36] <kunguz> I am doing some computation with my machine, and it ends up frozen when total physical memory is used
[22:57] <rcw2> hi,  kubuntu just got  much slower after many weeks of ok use
[22:58] <rcw2> how can i troubleshoot this
[23:43] <sithlord48> any packagers here . who know how to pack up Qt5 (non cmake) project for launchpad. it was a working qt4 package.
