[00:17] <Bunny> Hello
[00:17] <Bunny> I need help with my new kubuntu installation
[00:19] <Guest69573> Could someone help me?
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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?
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <gonyere> are you logged in?
[00:30] <Guest69573> I cant even do that
[00:30] <Guest69573> or even tell if im logged on
[00:31] <gonyere> turn it on and push ctrl and f4
[00:31] <gonyere> then type the above
[00:31] <gonyere> and see what happens
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <gonyere> hmm...
[00:35] <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
[00:38] <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..
[00:41] <Guest69573> and this isn't going to short out the motherboard
[00:41] <Guest69573> ?
[00:41] <gonyere> it didn't kill mine :p
[00:42] <gonyere> its my 'ultra portable desktop' :p now
[00:42] <Guest69573> I have an HP 2000
[00:43] <gonyere> no idea :p mine was/is an old system 76 gazelle :p
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <gonyere> yeah... idk, sorry I can't be of more help :(
[00:46] <Guest69573> Well I guess im out of options, thanks anyway.
[00:46] <Guest69573> I'll be back later with how it turned out
[02:00] <kubuntu> hh
[03:19] <topoi> i've got a q. about 14.04
[03:19] <topoi> will it solve the abnormally high cpu usage issue in 13.10?
[04:05] <BentFranklin> Ubuntu Server 12.04: If I GParted from Live CD to resize partitions (not /boot), can it cause data loss?
[04:17] <valorie> BentFranklin: it's always wise to do a backup before something major like that
[04:21] <BentFranklin> Yeah the man page is pretty explicit about that.  Just wondering if people still do use it, say in non-complicated situations.
[04:33] <valorie> BentFranklin: (btw, love the nick) you never lose if you have a backup
[04:33] <valorie> who knows, if you don't
[05:11] <MC1> Could I please get help with my laptop?
[05:11] <valorie> MC1: what do you need?
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <MC1> Normally I am able to do this
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <MC1> I am also unable to boot from CD or USB because I cannot view the BIOS or boot menus
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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?
[05:22] <MC1> SSH?
[05:22] <valorie> !ssh
[05:22] <valorie> with ssh you can control one machine from another
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <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
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <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?
[05:27] <MC1> no, just like a small minecraft server for my friends and me, a teamspeak server.
[05:27] <fr1lancer> !xrandr
[05:27] <valorie> I think setting an ssh account is well within your scope then
[05:28] <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
[05:30] <MC1> do you guys know where I can find information on repairing the Boot device not found error?
[05:31] <valorie> where were you able to see that error message, MC1?
[05:31] <MC1> it matches my symptoms as far as I can gather
[05:32] <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
[05:46] <sammykim> May I ask how to upgrade font-config to make sure thread-safe with ubuntu?
[05:47] <valorie> !info font-config
[05:48] <valorie> so it seems it is part of systemsettings
[05:49] <valorie> sammykim: why are you concerned about thread safety?
[05:51] <sammykim> I contribute parallel program so they have to support thread safety.
[05:52] <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.
[05:53] <valorie> !source
[05:53] <valorie> quantal is rather old if you are developing
[05:54] <valorie> you can always get up-to-date sources by using project neon
[05:54] <valorie> see #project-neon for more information
[05:55] <valorie> you can run this next to your regular installation
[05:56] <sammykim> Thanks for answering.
[05:59] <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. :)
[06:00] <sammykim> valorie: Thanks for answering me. Have a great day!
[06:00] <valorie> you too!
[06:00] <valorie> and good luck in your programming
[06:28] <Guest7333> im trying to completely switch from windows 8 to kubuntu on my toshiba laptop without success
[06:29] <Guest7333> ive downloaded it to a usb drive and changed boot settings, secure boot, etc
[06:29] <Guest7333> any help?
[06:30] <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?
[06:31] <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
[06:32] <valorie> !iso
[06:32] <valorie> !burning
[06:33] <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?
[06:34] <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
[06:35] <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
[06:37] <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
[06:39] <Guest7333> will those instructions be similar to using a USB drive instead of dvd?
[06:40] <valorie> yes
[06:40] <Guest7333> awesome thank you i'll give it a try
[06:42] <valorie> darn

[07:53] <MC1> Hello
[07:54] <MC1> I did some modifcation on my laptop to remove the display completely, it didnt do anything. :/
[07:54] <MC1> however the beeping message did go away
[07:55] <MC1> and my hard drive light is stuck on
[07:55] <arvind_> Hi, using IRC first time. Glad to meet you all.
[07:57] <MC1> If I put my ear up to it I can hear the hard drive rev up but nothing else seems to happen
[09:08] <rohan> i'm on kubuntu 14.04 with kde 4.12.1. when i right click on widgets in the panel, i don't get an option to remove them. is this an intended kde feature, or a kubuntu bug?
[09:41] <lordievader> Good morning.

[23:00] <monty_hall> anybody use eclipse and having problems w/ ctrl+f11?
[23:00] <monty_hall> doesn't seem to work anymore.
[23:00] <monty_hall> still mapped in eclipse however.
[23:00] <monty_hall> looked thru kde key mapping and don't see ctrl+f11
[23:01] <monty_hall> was wondering if kde was intercepting the keystroke.
