| valorie | ronnoc: I've heard checkinstall is deadly dangerous, from a debian devel | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| ronnoc | valorie: hmm i did not know that | 00:38 |
| valorie | me either, but I'm assuming that relying on packages is still the best option | 00:39 |
| valorie | really, you can file a bug if you find a .deb you simply must have | 00:40 |
| valorie | and if you want it enough, the kubuntu devels will help you package it yourself | 00:40 |
| ronnoc | ...or learn to package which i keep meaning to do | 00:40 |
| valorie | thus making it available for everyone | 00:40 |
| ronnoc | mmhmm | 00:41 |
| Govrix | Hi all! | 01:13 |
| Govrix | ;) | 01:13 |
| roadkill | running 14.04 Alpha 2. Did an update through Muon Update Manager that broke several major packages and dependencies with issues that cannot be resolved by doing -f or dist-upgrade with apt-get. Pastie: http://pastie.org/8710425 - Any suggestions on how I can get this unbroken? | 01:28 |

| valorie | yikes, roadkill | 03:48 |
| valorie | running an alpha isn't really supported here, but maybe ask in the devel channel -- that sounds rather messed up | 03:49 |
| valorie | what did the alpha announcement say to do for support? | 03:49 |
| roadkill | valorie: Haven't been able to find anything support wise online hence why I tried here. | 05:11 |
| === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away | ||
| valorie | I suggest the #kubuntu-devel chan or list | 05:13 |
| valorie | list might be best | 05:13 |
| valorie | not many devels online right now | 05:13 |
| === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying | ||
| roadkill | valorie: Thanks. I idle on irc so I can pop in and wait for an answer. No biggie. | 06:02 |
| valorie | cool | 06:02 |
| roadkill | I have a hunch my issues are due to an incomplete set of packages being pushed out. | 06:02 |
| roadkill | The tricky part is being able to upgrade them all. | 06:02 |
| valorie | oh, for sure | 06:03 |
| valorie | but it would be good to know why you don't have those packages | 06:03 |
| roadkill | valorie: I used Muon and things broke. no amount of switches in apt-get or dpkg will fix anything. | 06:06 |
| valorie | right, I read what you said before I responded | 06:07 |
| valorie | but I don't know what is broken | 06:08 |
| valorie | I upgraded to alpha 1 on one box, but didn't have time to test out alpha 2 | 06:08 |
| roadkill | ....wow. I figured it out. | 06:13 |
| valorie | ? | 06:14 |
| roadkill | Well. A buddy in another channel and I were talking about disk space, common issues that bloat. Document files were one example. | 06:15 |
| roadkill | Turns out a lot of packages will fail if even the documents folders are missing. | 06:15 |
| valorie | interesting | 06:15 |
| roadkill | recreated /kde/html/en | 06:15 |
| valorie | so you were running out of space? | 06:15 |
| roadkill | under usr/share/docs | 06:16 |
| roadkill | and everything worked. | 06:16 |
| roadkill | nah. just a miser when it comes to what uses space ;) | 06:16 |
| valorie | ha | 06:16 |
| valorie | so you created your own bug, Mr. Crachit | 06:17 |
| roadkill | of all things, though, I wouldn't expect a command running as root being unable to install packages because a directory structure for docs is missing. | 06:17 |
| valorie | yes, you would think there would be a "if no folder exists, create one" line | 06:18 |
| valorie | but perhaps you took too much away, and it was just lost | 06:18 |
| roadkill | hahahah. wow. | 06:18 |
| roadkill | it broke my ability to install *anything*... because existing packages couldn't be upgraded with unmet dependencies. | 06:18 |
| roadkill | I may have to document this, failing because of three missing nested documents folders while running root seems a bit strange in of itself. | 06:20 |
| roadkill | valorie: BTW, to give you an idea, screenshot of Muon: http://i.imgur.com/aVSCPNK.png - That was the kind of error I was getting because of three nested directories being missing from /usr/share/docs/ (kde/HTML/en) | 07:39 |
| valorie | roadkill: so muon was right, your config was broken | 08:45 |
| === thelionroars is now known as thelionsleeps | ||
| === david is now known as Guest31671 | ||
| roadkill | valorie: the real issue was that directories within docs was missing, so the packages couldn't get installed. the dependency issues and broken config were still the symptom. kind of a chicken/egg situation really. | 09:03 |

| fkm2 | superprower: Try this one http://wstaw.org/m/2014/02/08/plasma-desktopgL2033.png | 12:54 |
| fkm2 | superprower: But in order to put it on your desktop, you'll have to change the desktop from a widget container to a directory. But I don't remember where you can change this - if you still can. | 12:55 |
| fkm2 | superprower: Right-click on the desktop, click on the settings (bottom) and then choose from the dropbdown-field: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/02/08/plasma-desktopJl2033.png | 12:57 |

| superprower | ? | 16:52 |
| rberg | yeah, wine is working well in Ubuntu, I am trying to understand why its not in Debain sid | 16:56 |
| superprower | rberg: now wine. Steam launch games in OpenGL. Am i wrong? | 16:59 |
| superprower | *not | 16:59 |
| superprower | BluesKaj, how do you send meseges to me? Only clicking nicknake opens PM. I use Konversation. | 17:00 |
| rberg | native steam for sure, I am not sure about steam under wine, I am looking to continue my Skyrim game and cant turn around :( | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | superprower, we can discuss this right here in the channel so others can contribute, but I'm not familiar with gaming and steam and wine | 17:02 |
| superprower | BluesKaj, please, answer, how do you send messeges to me, so it's turn into the red(in my case?)? | 17:03 |

| superprower | and what to do next, in highlight settings? | 17:07 |
| superprower | and last question | 17:09 |
| superprower | is there any debian-like distro with gnome by default? KDE is not very friendly to me, realy... | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | click on "always highlight own nick" | 17:12 |
| superprower | thanks | 17:13 |
| superprower | so, nvidia-current command works on all debian-like distro's? | 17:14 |
| superprower | and, can i install gnome in kubuntu? | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | you can install gnome desktop then choose either kde or gnomr at the login page | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | err gnome | 17:17 |
| superprower | and there will be no bugs when KDE and GNOME together? | 17:18 |
| BluesKaj | yes nividia-current can be installed with either kde or gnome and it will work on both | 17:19 |
| superprower | man, i was asking about nvidia-current on other distor, like, debian or mint? | 17:19 |
| superprower | and gnome and kde was other question. Sorry for my bad english, realy. | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | gnome and kde are compatible, you'll just a duplication of apps that have different names, but do the same thing | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | have | 17:20 |
| varaug | anyone know how i can get the ecryptfs passphrase from a mounted 2nd HDD? | 17:22 |
| superprower | So, please, answer about nvidia on debian and i will stop brain-storm | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | superprower, not sure about debian , but I know mint uses nvidia-current | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | si | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | debian most likely uses nvidia-current as well since the repositories are basically the same | 17:24 |

| Ossido | Hello | 20:12 |
| * genii slides Ossido a coffee | 20:13 | |
| Ossido | My laptop developed a problem, about a week ago. I'll describe it in hope that somebody will help me | 20:13 |
| Ossido | thank you, genii | 20:13 |
| Ossido | The problem is that the recovery from the screensaver has become painfully slow | 20:14 |
| genii | Ossido: Yes, the best thing is just describe to the open channel the specifics of your issue, and hopefully someone may respond. I myself am back and forth from my computer today so not generally here for support, unfortunately | 20:14 |
| Ossido | if I move the mouse, or press a key, instead of recovering immediately, the screen stays black (my screensaver is a blank screen) | 20:15 |
| Ossido | and stays black for about 5-10 seconds | 20:15 |
| Ossido | this happens every time | 20:15 |
| Ossido | after that, about half of the times even when I get back my screen, the system remains unresponsive for another 5-10 seconds | 20:16 |
| Ossido | showing no mouse cursor | 20:16 |
| Ossido | and doesn't respond to keyboard actions | 20:16 |
| Ossido | This is the problem that I can easily describe | 20:17 |
| Ossido | other than that, it seems to me that is is also generally slower, but this is just a feel | 20:17 |
| Ossido | it started about one week ago, but I have been very buisy and I am looking into it only now | 20:17 |
| Ossido | I haven't done anything special other than installing the usual updates suggested to me by the system | 20:18 |
| Ossido | I am running 20.04 | 20:18 |
| Ossido | no | 20:18 |
| Ossido | 12.04 | 20:18 |
| Ossido | any ideas of what might have happened? | 20:19 |
| Ossido | also, how do I get to the chronology of the updates that I have installed? | 20:20 |
| Ossido | so, updates that I have installed in the time-window during which the problem developed are: some nvidia updates, mysql updates, chromium updates and linux header updates | 20:22 |
| Ossido | mysql and chrome should be irrelevant here | 20:22 |
| rberg | you can look at /var/log/dpkg to see a list of what has been installed/ upgraded and when | 20:24 |
| Ossido | yes, I got that | 20:25 |
| Ossido | and, if it has been something that I have installed, it's either the nvidia update (likely) or the linux headers | 20:25 |
| Ossido | how can I test where the problem is? | 20:26 |
| === blaxx is now known as bones__ | ||
| === bones__ is now known as blackworm | ||
| genii | Ossido: There is a comprehensive list of all changes to be found for Precise at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/ | 20:30 |
| genii | Ossido: If you know the exact previous version number of a package you can downgrade that specific one like: sudo apt-get install packagename=exact-version | 20:30 |

| === blackhatdacx is now known as worm_bones | ||
| Ossido | but I don't know what package caused the problem, or even if it was caused by one of these updates | 20:36 |
| Ossido | should I try to revert the nvidia updates? I am always fearful to touch those | 20:36 |
| Ossido | the "additional drivers" tool shows me 4 installed nvidia drivers: 304, 311[recommended], 304-updates, 311-updates | 20:40 |
| Ossido | the one in use is 331-updates | 20:40 |

| fkm | Hi there. I don't know, if this question is better suited for #kde, so tell me, if I should ask there. I would like to know, where Dolphin stores the settings for its Samba shares (http://wstaw.org/m/2014/02/08/plasma-desktopVr1995.png). I couldn't find the directory ("Public") in smb.conf :-\ | 22:27 |
| valorie | fkm, maybe try in ~/.config | 22:29 |
| valorie | most settings are in ~/.kde | 22:29 |
| fkm | Ok. Thank you valorie! I'll check :-) | 22:30 |
| qdata | take a look at .local/share/user-places.xbel | 22:31 |
| fkm | qdata: Unfortunately user-places only contains an entry relating to Bluetooth. But still, thank you. Another directory to search through :-) | 22:34 |
| pietro10 | if not you could ask #kde | 22:35 |
| qdata | it has my shares when I created icons on the left of Dolphin, it has them listed as "desktop bookmarks" | 22:35 |
| qdata | it's the storage for "Places" | 22:36 |
| genii | This question was asked not long ago, let me see if i can find the location in my logs | 22:37 |
| fkm | The problem is, that the shares don't really work. Although the shares are visible they are not accessible (neither anonymous nor with the user credentials) and I don't like fiddling around config files as long as I don't see the entry in question. | 22:39 |
| fkm | Thank you genii! | 22:39 |
| genii | fkm: Dolphin should have put them in /var/lib/samba/usershare | 22:42 |
| genii | ( according to apachelogger ) | 22:43 |
| fkm | genii: You are my hero! :-D Thank you very much! | 22:44 |
| genii | fkm: You're welcome :) | 22:44 |
| qdata | oh, ok - that makes sense, I was thinking about access from Dolphin to remote shares, not sharing things locally out to others | 22:45 |
| === Vito_ is now known as Vito | ||
