[00:17] Hello [00:17] I need help with my new kubuntu installation === Bunny is now known as Guest69573 [00:19] Could someone help me? [00:26] perhaps Guest69573 - whats up? [00:26] My laptop display is shattered and I just installed kubuntu 13.10 onto it [00:26] However [00:26] I cannot switch to my external display via VGA [00:27] what happens when you plug it into vga? [00:27] my monitor says no signal [00:27] what if you close your laptop lid and then plug it in? [00:27] I'll try that [00:28] xrandr --output VGA1 --primary [00:28] or try that an see what it says [00:28] ?? [00:28] Is that a terminal command? [00:29] yeah [00:29] 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] I cannot see anything on my laptop's display [00:30] are you logged in? [00:30] I cant even do that [00:30] or even tell if im logged on [00:31] turn it on and push ctrl and f4 [00:31] then type the above [00:31] and see what happens [00:32] with a vga monitor plugged in [00:32] you might also try starting it up w/ the monitor plugged in [00:32] and see if that makes any difference [00:32] Still nothing [00:33] I have tried starting up with the monitor plugged in [00:33] when you turn it on w/ the vga plugged in, does the monitor show the start-up bios screen? [00:33] or just nothing, period? [00:33] Yeah, nothing [00:34] hmm... [00:35] try the fn (funciton) key and f5 (i'm just googling...) [00:35] 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] you mean the monitor key? [00:35] I've tried that [00:38] hmm... idk, sounds like theres something screwy with the monitor... [00:38] 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] if the screen's cracked it might be worth a try.. [00:41] and this isn't going to short out the motherboard [00:41] ? [00:41] it didn't kill mine :p [00:42] its my 'ultra portable desktop' :p now [00:42] I have an HP 2000 [00:43] no idea :p mine was/is an old system 76 gazelle :p [00:44] 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 [00:45] yeah... idk, sorry I can't be of more help :( [00:46] Well I guess im out of options, thanks anyway. [00:46] I'll be back later with how it turned out [02:00] hh [03:19] i've got a q. about 14.04 [03:19] will it solve the abnormally high cpu usage issue in 13.10? [04:05] Ubuntu Server 12.04: If I GParted from Live CD to resize partitions (not /boot), can it cause data loss? [04:17] BentFranklin: it's always wise to do a backup before something major like that [04:21] Yeah the man page is pretty explicit about that. Just wondering if people still do use it, say in non-complicated situations. [04:33] BentFranklin: (btw, love the nick) you never lose if you have a backup [04:33] who knows, if you don't === kanchan is now known as kanchan__ === kanchan__ is now known as kanchan [05:11] Could I please get help with my laptop? [05:11] MC1: what do you need? [05:12] I installed Kubuntu 13.10 on my HP 2000 laptop which has a shattered display [05:12] Im trying to use an external monitor and for some reason nothing happens [05:13] ah, I saw that earlier [05:13] when i press any keys on my laptop other than enter the laptop makes a beeping noise [05:13] I tested it on the computer i used to install to the hard drive, kubuntu loads up and works perfectly fine [05:14] i was the person here earliere who asked about it [05:14] hmmm [05:14] Im assuming my laptop is not detecting the hard drive altogether [05:15] since I have no issues with the computer I used as an intermediate for installation [05:15] but that doesn't mean it will work on the laptop [05:15] can you try a live session and see what happens? [05:15] from cd/dvd/usb [05:15] possibly, yes [05:16] sure, but part of install is checking the hardware, and loading the drivers you need for various things [05:16] unless you have two identical computers, I'm not sure that would work [05:17] Normally I am able to do this [05:18] but in this case it doesnt seem to be working [05:18] you've done this before with these two computers? [05:18] with one, but not the other [05:19] I am also unable to boot from CD or USB because I cannot view the BIOS or boot menus [05:20] you might have to set up the laptop so that you can ssh into it [05:20] then you could run it from your other computer [05:21] I can't think of another way to run it 'headless' [05:21] i am litterally unable to do anything with my laptop in it's current state [05:21] Im thinking of taking it appart completely and running it with the hardware outside of it's case [05:21] so, can you take that HD out, put it in another machine, and set up an ssh account there? [05:22] SSH? [05:22] !ssh [05:22] 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] with ssh you can control one machine from another [05:23] That seems far outside of my technical knowledge, but [05:23] i [05:23] basically you would be using the laptop like a server [05:23] I can keep it in mind if it comes to that [05:23] well, I've ssh'd, back even when I was still using windows [05:23] it's not very advanced [05:23] Oh [05:23] <--- not very technical [05:24] if you have a server anywhere you have to learn ssh or ftp or something [05:24] ssh is the most secure [05:24] I usually just use my computer as a part-time server [05:25] but I can see where you are coming from [05:25] how do you access that server? [05:25] when you are using it as a server, i mean [05:26] i dont mean like a actual server that requires SSH [05:26] i just run my server software on it and go on about my buisiness [05:26] you mean a web-server? [05:27] no, just like a small minecraft server for my friends and me, a teamspeak server. [05:27] !xrandr [05:27] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [05:27] I think setting an ssh account is well within your scope then [05:28] put the broken screen somewhere you can't look at it, and read up on ssh [05:28] I found out through research on m issue, "Boot device not found" [05:28] you'll get it [05:28] howdy [05:30] do you guys know where I can find information on repairing the Boot device not found error? [05:31] where were you able to see that error message, MC1? [05:31] it matches my symptoms as far as I can gather [05:32] when I boot up, i get a beeping noise when I press any key other than enter [05:32] the screen usually changes when I press the enter key, but that lasts momentarily and then it returns to normal [05:46] May I ask how to upgrade font-config to make sure thread-safe with ubuntu? [05:47] !info font-config [05:47] Package font-config does not exist in saucy [05:48] so it seems it is part of systemsettings [05:49] sammykim: why are you concerned about thread safety? [05:51] I contribute parallel program so they have to support thread safety. [05:52] perhaps you should get the source and judge for yourself [05:52] Also I am using ubuntu is codename quantal. [05:52] valorie: Do you have any link to reference? I don't want to make terrible problem with my ubuntu by making a mistake. [05:53] !source [05:53] 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] quantal is rather old if you are developing [05:54] you can always get up-to-date sources by using project neon [05:54] see #project-neon for more information [05:55] you can run this next to your regular installation [05:56] Thanks for answering. [05:59] 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] sounds good, sammykim [05:59] I found the fontconfig guarantee thread-safe over 2.10.91 version. :) [06:00] valorie: Thanks for answering me. Have a great day! [06:00] you too! [06:00] and good luck in your programming === dave is now known as Guest7333 [06:28] im trying to completely switch from windows 8 to kubuntu on my toshiba laptop without success [06:29] ive downloaded it to a usb drive and changed boot settings, secure boot, etc [06:29] any help? [06:30] do you mean that you burned the ISO onto the usb drive, or what? [06:30] im about to try again. downloaded 64-bit this time [06:30] ive done this before years ago [06:30] is the USB "bootable"? [06:30] in other words, can you run Kubuntu before installing it? [06:31] i just downloaded it and moved the file to a usb drivem, changed boot settings and it worked [06:31] so you can boot [06:31] then what happens? [06:31] in general you don't "move the file" [06:31] you have to either dd it, or burn it [06:32] !iso [06:32] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - 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] !burning [06:32] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:33] the file type is "disc image" i guess thats wrong? [06:33] ive been outta the game for a while forgive me [06:33] that depends -- where did you download this file? [06:34] kubuntu.org [06:34] ok, you are fine then [06:34] have a look at the links above and see if everything is ok [06:35] i tried the 64-bit on an SD card but i dont think it was recognizable to boot from [06:35] usually they aren't, right [06:35] maybe that would work on a netbook [06:37] oh i just looked at that "/burningIsoHowto" [06:37] i havent seen that [06:37] i fucking hate win8 [06:37] no need for the swearing [06:39] will those instructions be similar to using a USB drive instead of dvd? [06:40] yes [06:40] awesome thank you i'll give it a try [06:42] darn [07:15] бла бла бла бла [07:20] wat [07:23] "bla bla bla bla" in Russian. === arvind is now known as arvind_ [07:53] Hello [07:54] I did some modifcation on my laptop to remove the display completely, it didnt do anything. :/ [07:54] however the beeping message did go away [07:55] and my hard drive light is stuck on [07:55] Hi, using IRC first time.

[22:15] the new version of wine has a regression, and need to install one version lower [22:16] Or if someone can tell me how to install multiarch on 13.10, i can compile the older version of wine [22:41] !pinning [22:41] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.
