| Bunny | Hello | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Bunny | I need help with my new kubuntu installation | 00:17 |
| === Bunny is now known as Guest69573 | ||
| Guest69573 | Could someone help me? | 00:19 |
| gonyere | perhaps Guest69573 - whats up? | 00:26 |
| Guest69573 | My laptop display is shattered and I just installed kubuntu 13.10 onto it | 00:26 |
| Guest69573 | However | 00:26 |
| Guest69573 | I cannot switch to my external display via VGA | 00:26 |
| gonyere | what happens when you plug it into vga? | 00:27 |
| Guest69573 | my monitor says no signal | 00:27 |
| gonyere | what if you close your laptop lid and then plug it in? | 00:27 |
| Guest69573 | I'll try that | 00:27 |
| gonyere | xrandr --output VGA1 --primary | 00:28 |
| gonyere | or try that an see what it says | 00:28 |
| Guest69573 | ?? | 00:28 |
| Guest69573 | Is that a terminal command? | 00:28 |
| gonyere | yeah | 00:29 |
| Guest69573 | how do I switch into terminal to type that? | 00:29 |
| * gonyere is looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/129524/how-to-switch-display-from-laptop-to-external-monitor | 00:29 | |
| Guest69573 | I cannot see anything on my laptop's display | 00:29 |
| gonyere | are you logged in? | 00:30 |
| Guest69573 | I cant even do that | 00:30 |
| Guest69573 | or even tell if im logged on | 00:30 |
| gonyere | turn it on and push ctrl and f4 | 00:31 |
| gonyere | then type the above | 00:31 |
| gonyere | and see what happens | 00:31 |
| gonyere | with a vga monitor plugged in | 00:32 |
| gonyere | you might also try starting it up w/ the monitor plugged in | 00:32 |
| gonyere | and see if that makes any difference | 00:32 |
| Guest69573 | Still nothing | 00:32 |
| Guest69573 | I have tried starting up with the monitor plugged in | 00:33 |
| gonyere | when you turn it on w/ the vga plugged in, does the monitor show the start-up bios screen? | 00:33 |
| gonyere | or just nothing, period? | 00:33 |
| Guest69573 | Yeah, nothing | 00:33 |
| gonyere | hmm... | 00:34 |
| gonyere | try the fn (funciton) key and f5 (i'm just googling...) | 00:35 |
| Guest69573 | I've noticed that when I plug int my monitor while it's on the screen goes off and then turns back on | 00:35 |
| Guest69573 | you mean the monitor key? | 00:35 |
| Guest69573 | I've tried that | 00:35 |
| gonyere | hmm... idk, sounds like theres something screwy with the monitor... | 00:38 |
| gonyere | i have a laptop that doesn't have a monitor so that it always goes to the vga output, though that was kinda major surgery... | 00:38 |
| gonyere | if the screen's cracked it might be worth a try.. | 00:38 |
| Guest69573 | and this isn't going to short out the motherboard | 00:41 |
| Guest69573 | ? | 00:41 |
| gonyere | it didn't kill mine :p | 00:41 |
| gonyere | its my 'ultra portable desktop' :p now | 00:42 |
| Guest69573 | I have an HP 2000 | 00:42 |
| gonyere | no idea :p mine was/is an old system 76 gazelle :p | 00:43 |
| Guest69573 | I want to keep from dismantling my laptop because my mom will flip out unless I am certain that it's not going to mess anything up | 00:44 |
| gonyere | yeah... idk, sorry I can't be of more help :( | 00:45 |
| Guest69573 | Well I guess im out of options, thanks anyway. | 00:46 |
| Guest69573 | I'll be back later with how it turned out | 00:46 |
| kubuntu | hh | 02:00 |
| topoi | i've got a q. about 14.04 | 03:19 |
| topoi | will it solve the abnormally high cpu usage issue in 13.10? | 03:19 |
| BentFranklin | Ubuntu Server 12.04: If I GParted from Live CD to resize partitions (not /boot), can it cause data loss? | 04:05 |
| valorie | BentFranklin: it's always wise to do a backup before something major like that | 04:17 |
| BentFranklin | Yeah the man page is pretty explicit about that. Just wondering if people still do use it, say in non-complicated situations. | 04:21 |
| valorie | BentFranklin: (btw, love the nick) you never lose if you have a backup | 04:33 |
| valorie | who knows, if you don't | 04:33 |

| MC1 | Could I please get help with my laptop? | 05:11 |
| valorie | MC1: what do you need? | 05:11 |
| MC1 | I installed Kubuntu 13.10 on my HP 2000 laptop which has a shattered display | 05:12 |
| MC1 | Im trying to use an external monitor and for some reason nothing happens | 05:12 |
| valorie | ah, I saw that earlier | 05:13 |
| MC1 | when i press any keys on my laptop other than enter the laptop makes a beeping noise | 05:13 |
| MC1 | I tested it on the computer i used to install to the hard drive, kubuntu loads up and works perfectly fine | 05:13 |
| MC1 | i was the person here earliere who asked about it | 05:14 |
| valorie | hmmm | 05:14 |
| MC1 | Im assuming my laptop is not detecting the hard drive altogether | 05:14 |
| MC1 | since I have no issues with the computer I used as an intermediate for installation | 05:15 |
| valorie | but that doesn't mean it will work on the laptop | 05:15 |
| valorie | can you try a live session and see what happens? | 05:15 |
| valorie | from cd/dvd/usb | 05:15 |
| valorie | possibly, yes | 05:15 |
| valorie | sure, but part of install is checking the hardware, and loading the drivers you need for various things | 05:16 |
| valorie | unless you have two identical computers, I'm not sure that would work | 05:16 |
| MC1 | Normally I am able to do this | 05:17 |
| MC1 | but in this case it doesnt seem to be working | 05:18 |
| valorie | you've done this before with these two computers? | 05:18 |
| MC1 | with one, but not the other | 05:18 |
| MC1 | I am also unable to boot from CD or USB because I cannot view the BIOS or boot menus | 05:19 |
| valorie | you might have to set up the laptop so that you can ssh into it | 05:20 |
| valorie | then you could run it from your other computer | 05:20 |
| valorie | I can't think of another way to run it 'headless' | 05:21 |
| MC1 | i am litterally unable to do anything with my laptop in it's current state | 05:21 |
| MC1 | Im thinking of taking it appart completely and running it with the hardware outside of it's case | 05:21 |
| valorie | so, can you take that HD out, put it in another machine, and set up an ssh account there? | 05:21 |
| MC1 | SSH? | 05:22 |
| valorie | !ssh | 05:22 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:22 |
| valorie | with ssh you can control one machine from another | 05:22 |
| MC1 | That seems far outside of my technical knowledge, but | 05:23 |
| MC1 | i | 05:23 |
| valorie | basically you would be using the laptop like a server | 05:23 |
| MC1 | I can keep it in mind if it comes to that | 05:23 |
| valorie | well, I've ssh'd, back even when I was still using windows | 05:23 |
| valorie | it's not very advanced | 05:23 |
| MC1 | Oh | 05:23 |
| valorie | <--- not very technical | 05:23 |
| valorie | if you have a server anywhere you have to learn ssh or ftp or something | 05:24 |
| valorie | ssh is the most secure | 05:24 |
| MC1 | I usually just use my computer as a part-time server | 05:24 |
| MC1 | but I can see where you are coming from | 05:25 |
| valorie | how do you access that server? | 05:25 |
| valorie | when you are using it as a server, i mean | 05:25 |
| MC1 | i dont mean like a actual server that requires SSH | 05:26 |
| MC1 | i just run my server software on it and go on about my buisiness | 05:26 |
| valorie | you mean a web-server? | 05:26 |
| MC1 | no, just like a small minecraft server for my friends and me, a teamspeak server. | 05:27 |
| fr1lancer | !xrandr | 05:27 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 05:27 |
| valorie | I think setting an ssh account is well within your scope then | 05:27 |
| valorie | put the broken screen somewhere you can't look at it, and read up on ssh | 05:28 |
| MC1 | I found out through research on m issue, "Boot device not found" | 05:28 |
| valorie | you'll get it | 05:28 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 05:28 |
| MC1 | do you guys know where I can find information on repairing the Boot device not found error? | 05:30 |
| valorie | where were you able to see that error message, MC1? | 05:31 |
| MC1 | it matches my symptoms as far as I can gather | 05:31 |
| MC1 | when I boot up, i get a beeping noise when I press any key other than enter | 05:32 |
| MC1 | the screen usually changes when I press the enter key, but that lasts momentarily and then it returns to normal | 05:32 |
| sammykim | May I ask how to upgrade font-config to make sure thread-safe with ubuntu? | 05:46 |
| valorie | !info font-config | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Package font-config does not exist in saucy | 05:47 |
| valorie | so it seems it is part of systemsettings | 05:48 |
| valorie | sammykim: why are you concerned about thread safety? | 05:49 |
| sammykim | I contribute parallel program so they have to support thread safety. | 05:51 |
| valorie | perhaps you should get the source and judge for yourself | 05:52 |
| sammykim | Also I am using ubuntu is codename quantal. | 05:52 |
| sammykim | valorie: Do you have any link to reference? I don't want to make terrible problem with my ubuntu by making a mistake. | 05:52 |
| valorie | !source | 05:53 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 05:53 |
| valorie | quantal is rather old if you are developing | 05:53 |
| valorie | you can always get up-to-date sources by using project neon | 05:54 |
| valorie | see #project-neon for more information | 05:54 |
| valorie | you can run this next to your regular installation | 05:55 |
| sammykim | Thanks for answering. | 05:56 |
| sammykim | valorie: As long as I want to make sure thread-safe with fontconfig, I think I should upgrade my OS first to support over version 2.10.91 of fontconfig. | 05:59 |
| valorie | sounds good, sammykim | 05:59 |
| sammykim | I found the fontconfig guarantee thread-safe over 2.10.91 version. :) | 05:59 |
| sammykim | valorie: Thanks for answering me. Have a great day! | 06:00 |
| valorie | you too! | 06:00 |
| valorie | and good luck in your programming | 06:00 |
| === dave is now known as Guest7333 | ||
| Guest7333 | im trying to completely switch from windows 8 to kubuntu on my toshiba laptop without success | 06:28 |
| Guest7333 | ive downloaded it to a usb drive and changed boot settings, secure boot, etc | 06:29 |
| Guest7333 | any help? | 06:29 |
| valorie | do you mean that you burned the ISO onto the usb drive, or what? | 06:30 |
| Guest7333 | im about to try again. downloaded 64-bit this time | 06:30 |
| Guest7333 | ive done this before years ago | 06:30 |
| valorie | is the USB "bootable"? | 06:30 |
| valorie | in other words, can you run Kubuntu before installing it? | 06:30 |
| Guest7333 | i just downloaded it and moved the file to a usb drivem, changed boot settings and it worked | 06:31 |
| valorie | so you can boot | 06:31 |
| valorie | then what happens? | 06:31 |
| valorie | in general you don't "move the file" | 06:31 |
| valorie | you have to either dd it, or burn it | 06:31 |
| valorie | !iso | 06:32 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 06:32 |
| valorie | !burning | 06:32 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 06:32 |
| Guest7333 | the file type is "disc image" i guess thats wrong? | 06:33 |
| Guest7333 | ive been outta the game for a while forgive me | 06:33 |
| valorie | that depends -- where did you download this file? | 06:33 |
| Guest7333 | kubuntu.org | 06:34 |
| valorie | ok, you are fine then | 06:34 |
| valorie | have a look at the links above and see if everything is ok | 06:34 |
| Guest7333 | i tried the 64-bit on an SD card but i dont think it was recognizable to boot from | 06:35 |
| valorie | usually they aren't, right | 06:35 |
| valorie | maybe that would work on a netbook | 06:35 |
| Guest7333 | oh i just looked at that "/burningIsoHowto" | 06:37 |
| Guest7333 | i havent seen that | 06:37 |
| Guest7333 | i fucking hate win8 | 06:37 |
| IdleOne | no need for the swearing | 06:37 |
| Guest7333 | will those instructions be similar to using a USB drive instead of dvd? | 06:39 |
| valorie | yes | 06:40 |
| Guest7333 | awesome thank you i'll give it a try | 06:40 |
