odiumtried that over and over01:58
odiumamd onboard this is a netbook01:58
odiuman aspire one01:58
onyotzkihmmm there should be some kind of a separate video settings out there to configure01:58
onyotzkithe default display settings seems not to work on my end as well01:59
onyotzkiim on nvidia, so im using the nvidia settings, which is also inside system settings01:59
onyotzkigive me a mo, let me check it here01:59

G__81i am using kubuntu 13.10 64 bit. I dont see the update manager running and picking up the updates automatically. Is there any setting that i have to enable for this to work ?06:07
valorieG__81: not too many updates going on this late in the cycle06:10
valorieexcept for LTSs06:10
valoriewhich 14.10 will be06:10
Beryl14.04 already working fine :D06:10
valorieI mean .04, sheesh06:11
G__81valorie, for eg if i see run apt-get upgrade it shows KDE 411.3 but the update manager does not automatically show that06:11
valorieas I recall, update manager will only ping you for security updates06:11
valorieI could be wrong06:12
G__81ubuntu 13.10 shows the updates automatically on the other hand but Kubuntu 13.10 does not show the updates06:12
valorie!update06:12
ubottuFor upgrading instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaucyUpgrades/Kubuntu06:12
valoriemight be more there about settings06:12
G__81valorie, unfortunately it shows the path on how to upgrade but it does not show anything else apart fromthat06:13
G__81probably muon does not check for updates automatically. probably its broken ?06:15
Beryli dumped muon for apper06:16
Berylapper is qt like muon and seems much better06:16
Berylno crashes so far06:16
G__81Beryl, so does it run automatically and show the notification when the updates are available ?06:17
BerylG__81: I have auto update off since it'll randomly grab lock on apt which can be annoying06:18
G__81oh ok true06:19

miraiEevening dougl :D12:17
douglmiraiE, greetings :P12:18
lordievaderHey dougl, miraiE. How are you guys (girls?)12:19
dougllordievader, good thanks and yourself?12:19
miraiEgreat, lordievader12:19
douglI am a gent.12:19
lordievaderDoing good overhere :)12:20
lordievaderHave you fixed your static ip problem, dougl?12:20
dougllordievader, lol - yes I needed a screen shot...12:23
lordievaderdougl: Ah great :)12:23
douglapachelogger, fixed me up... much easier in point and click but hard to describe in text12:24
douglyes I am feeling much better now... tried to install my web site tho and that is proving to be more difficult than I thot...12:25
dougland I cannot find my howto I used for 12.10 and not even sureit would work on 14.04... let's chat so I can avoid looking at it - lol12:27
ikoniadougl: no12:27
ikoniadougl: you have been told where 14.04 support is12:27
ikoniadougl: PLEASE start using the right channels12:27
douglikonia, I was told to use this channel for my ip address issue and don't chat if you don't want to I am just trying to enjoy a cup of coffee with some friendly company... can we chat friendly?12:33
ikoniadougl: #kubuntu-offtopic is the social chat channel (for non-support) this channel #kubuntu is for production release support #ubuntu+1 is for development version (14.04) support as you've been told 3 times now12:33
ikoniadougl: so please try to use the right channel for your topics/questions12:34
swizgardhi. how can i configure it so that the isntallation uses config-option Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.23:3142/";?12:34
douglikonia, before I go to the very busy developers I check in these channels in case it is something I did wrong as I know there are a few ppl on 14.04 - but this is stuff you'd prefer in a developers channel - where they are far more busy and less helpful (if you consider developing an entire os less helpful)12:38
ikoniait's not the DEVELOPERS channel12:38
ikoniadougl: you've been told #ubuntu+1 is the SUPPORT channel12:38
douglikonia, soon it will be april and then the rules wil... I'm deficient... I am sorry to irritate, I was gonna say then I will be of until then I will respect your instruction..12:40
* dougl always thot it was developers12:40
ikoniatry joining the channel and using it before making statements like "people are too busy to help as they are developing"12:40
ikoniaif you join the channel - you'll see it's quite a quiet channel12:41
douglyeah - I thot they were coding12:41
douglikonia, not to trivialize, I am sincerely sorry I get mixed up easily and forget alot... lets not let it ruin our day - I feel bad, you have made your point -> goodwill and blessings your way12:44
ikoniamy day is fine, it's no big deal, it's just a waste of time to tell you every 60 seconds, I doubt you memory is that bad12:44
douglikonia, not as bad as your time telling ability12:45
douglplease leave me alone now.12:45
BluesKajdougl, for trusty 14.04 support you.12:47

AJ__Hi. I'm running kubuntu 13.10.. and updating apt-get... but the update is too slow (7-10kbps), whereas in normal downloading from chrome I get 1mbps speed, any idea why?17:50
=== krz is now known as Guest41729
lordievaderAJ__: Mirror that is far away/slow?17:51
AJ__lordievader: I tried changing the mirrors, I tried selecting the best servers.. but no improvement.17:53
lordievaderAJ__: Are you using apt through a proxy?18:06
AJ__lordievader: how do I check that? I didn't do anything to apt since the distro installation.18:11
lordievaderAJ__: If you don't remember it you probably didn't set it up.18:13
AJ__lordievader: set it up? what exactly do i need to set?18:13
lordievaderWhat if you manually download a deb package from your mirror?18:13
AJ__lordievader: One more thing I have noticed, if i download qt installer from http://qt-project.org/downloads , speed are pretty less.. but if i download something else, for instance ITunes from www.apple.com, the speed is pretty high..18:17
AJ__Any thoughts?18:17
lordievaderAJ__: Apt should have the same download speeds as, say, wget.18:27

fuorviatosanybody has tried to install latest ati beta driver in ubuntu yet?20:20
Roeyhey all20:46
Roeyhey I just got this shiny new micron 960GB SSD and I wish to transfer my system to it.20:46
RoeyAre there any guides out there?20:46
RoeyShould I re-install the OS, or can I simply copy it wholesale and then put grub on it?20:46
DarthFrogRoey: You'll want to make sure the "noatime" option is set on any filesystems on the SSD.  That's the Linux version of TRIM.20:47
Roeyah that's it20:47
RoeyDarthFrog:  well I run with noatime currently20:47
RoeyDarthFrog:  also, I wish to use BTRFS.20:47
Roeyshould /boot be a small ext4 partition?20:47
Roeyand then everything else is on BTFS?20:47
Roey*BTRFS20:47
DarthFrogYou can copy your current OS onto it, but you'll have to edit fstab appropriately and re-install GRUB.20:48
Roeyaha.20:48
DarthFrogDon't know, never played with BTRFS.20:48
Roeyah thanks :)20:48
DarthFrogIf the system doesn't boot after doing the OS move, you can boot from a Live CD to make corrections.20:49
DarthFrogOn the other hand, you could install the beta version of Trusty and just move over your /home directory (which should be on its own partition anyway).20:50
RoeyDarthFrog:  is Trusty beta stable?20:58
RoeyThat's 4.03, correct?20:58
Roeyer, 14.0320:58
RoeyDarthFrog:  does Trusty support BTRFS setups?20:59
DarthFrog14.0420:59
Roeyas in, can I make a BTRFS partition and then assign mount points to it, from within the installer?21:00
DarthFrogWell, it's a beta.  So you can expect some instability.21:00
Roey14.04, aye21:00
RoeyI just want something that can support BTRfS21:00
DarthFrogBut it is an LTS.21:00
Roeyalso it is being released next month21:00
Roeyso why not21:00
DarthFrogWhy are you so gung-ho on BTRFS?21:00
Roeyfor file snapshotting and backup.21:03
RoeyI use Dirvish now21:03
Roeybeen using it for years21:03
Roeyand am looking for a more efficient way to back up. I have been backing up on alternating weeks to different external backup drives21:03
DarthFrogWell, you could try installing Trusty beta in a VirtualBox VM and trying it out.21:03
Roeysure21:03
Roeythanks21:04
Roey:)21:04
RoeyI am downloading it as we chat, in fact.21:04
RoeyDoes Kubuntu 14.04 work with BTRFS on /boot ?21:04
RoeyDarthFrog:  ^21:04
DarthFrogBTW, thanks for mentioning backups.  I'm now backing up my /home to my NAS. :-)21:06
RoeyDarthFrog:  what advantages do I have in doing a clean system installation versus copying things over?21:13

kyfellaAnyone here off the top of your head know where the compatibility list is for Wireless cards?  I am thinking about converting my Dell Latitude E6330 Laptop to Kubuntu 64-bit but want to make sure that the onboard wireless card will be supported and actually connect22:30
kyfellaI found it, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported in case anyone else needs it22:32
kyfellaAny idea when 14.04 stable release it due to be released?22:33
lordievaderkyfella: You can allways test wireless cards with a live-usb/cd.22:34
lordievaderIf it works there it is bound to work on a real install too.22:34
kyfellatrue, but one thing...  I have actually got wireless cards to work in live cd/dvd, but for some strange reason, not after the distro is installed22:35
kyfellaI can't quite figure that one out lol22:35
kyfellaI marked it up as crappy luck22:35
Roeyhi22:36
kyfellaHello Roey22:36
lordievaderkyfella: You can check what driver is loaded for it with 'sudo lspci -k' on the live environment, and then in the installed environment see if the driver is loaded with 'sudo lsmod'.22:36
RoeyI just installed Kubuntu to this SSD drive, and booted from my HD, I can see this when I mount it:  @ @roeyt22:36
lordievaderHey Roey, how are you?22:36
Roeywhat does this mean? snapshots? that Kubuntu set up two subvolumes?22:36
Roeyoh all good lordievader and kyfella22:37
RoeyI'm moving from two HDs in raid1 to 1 SSD22:37
RoeyI want to have /arch as a subvolume as well22:37
Roeyfor my media and stuff22:37
kyfellawhen you say you see @@roeyt do you mean at the $ terminal22:37
Roeycorrect22:38
Roey@roey22:38
Roeynot @@roeyt, my mistake22:38
kyfellathanks for the tip lordie22:39
kyfellabut your referring to your terminal correct?22:40
lordievaderkyfella: Yes. I live in the terminal too much to forget to mention it, sorry.22:40
lordievaderRoey: Is the hostname of your machine 'roey'?22:41
Roeygear is my hostname22:41
Roeywhen I installed KUbuntu 14.04, I specified BTRFS22:41
kyfellaso your seeing roey@gear$22:41
lordievaderHmm, the default bash promt should be ^that indeed.22:42
lordievaderOr atleast something similair.22:42

Roeykyfella:  maybe this can give a better idea:  http://pastebin.com/Q5YEVm7B22:42

falsobuiohello to all. Which are the settings to set when you right click on the terminal icon and go to konsole.dektop icon settings, Application-> Command?22:43
Roeythanks, kyfella22:43
falsobuioi have a random path and when konsole runs i get the message Warning: could not start program '/path/path'22:44
lordievaderRoey: Ah you are talking about those btrfs volumes?22:44
lordievaderNot the promt.22:44
Roeycorrect22:44
RoeyI want to know why when I mount this it shows up as @roey and @22:45
RoeyDoes @roey mount under @ ?22:45
lordievaderRoey: Yes, I know nothing about btrfs.22:45
kyfellaroey=username logged in as the @gear = the system name therefore you get roey@gear$22:46
Roeylordievader:  thanks22:46
Roeykyfella:  ahaa....22:46
A3D_Damirkubuntu can make pannel for adds and marketing compannies so when they want to make adds it will be on desktop with option for users to choese branch , section and to remove or show up MARKETING PANNEL22:46
Roeyhttp://pastebin.com/ftz329tv  <-- that is the fstab that kubuntu 14.04 install generated22:46
Roeykyfella:  ^^^^^^^^22:46
kyfellabtrfs looks like a management utility for volumes.  I checked man btrfs and it speaks about how to defragment, create, delete subvolumes22:46
Roeynow:  do I have to set noatime manually for TRIM support?  Is there any other BTRFS adjustment I can make for SSD drives?22:46
Roeybtrfs the filesystem I mean22:47
Roeynot the utility22:47
falsobuiohello to all. Which are the settings to set when you right click on the terminal icon and go to konsole.dektop icon settings, Application-> Command?22:47
Roeyhit alt+f2 and then type the command name22:47
Roeyit's quicker22:47
Roeyfalsobuio:  ^^22:47
kyfellaI will see what I can find Roey, hang a min22:47
Roeythanks so much kyfella22:47
RoeyThe reason why is because I want to make other subvolumes, like /arch22:48
Roeyand I don't know the convention for doing this in btrfs.22:48
kyfellano sweat, gimmie a min and let me see if I can find any intel for you on the trim ssd stuff22:48
Roeyok, thanks so much22:48
A3D_Damirkubuntu should have how to  section for users  and most common problems like BLUR  newbeeeeee will throw it when that happen to HIM22:48
falsobuioroey, true story22:49
falsobuiohow can i find the path though?22:49
A3D_Damirand app like for thz  files or not deb files  just with short option  move and install it   for newbee no compiling will help22:49
kyfellahttps://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ22:49
kyfellaRoey, check that out and doa  search for trim22:50
Roeykyfella:  I did22:50
Roeythanks22:50
kyfellano sweat22:50
kyfellathat should at least point you in the right direction I believe22:50
kyfellaand there is also a way to get moreinformation abuot btrfs22:51
kyfellajust do a man btrfs from the terminal and it will show you the manual page with all of the command line switches that you may be able to find your answer as well22:51
Roeyok22:51
Roeythank you so much22:51
kyfellayour welcome22:52
kyfellaHey, ya'll, anyone here ever try to take a clone of an encrypted linux volume, or windows volume?  How did that turn out for you and what did you use to do it?  I am trying to use Clonezilla right now.22:52
kyfellaApparently it can'22:52
kyfellauggg typo22:52
kyfellaapparently it can't use partclone, or ntfs clone to do it with Clonezilla, but rather uses a dd (diskdump) which means its going to clone the WHOLE drive, bit for bit, sector per sector.  That can lead to a really really large clone image, insted of just grabbing the used space in the volumes22:54
falsobuiohello can somebody let me know where terminal can be found (under which path) in order to add it in the icon settings?22:54
RoeyOh, also, does anyone know about this:22:56
Roey# /arch was on /dev/sdc1 during installation22:56
RoeyUUID=5fba2edb-daf9-48fa-bb32-6d7821c12d0d /arch          btrfs,noatime,ssd,defaults,subvol=@arch 0       222:56
Roeydoes BTRFS create a virtual / that is grounded to @ ?22:57
Roeyand a virtual /arch that is grounded to @arch ?22:57
Roeykyfella:  ^22:57
RoeyDarthFrog:  ^22:57
RoeyRiddell:  ^22:57
kyfellaI am looking at your fstab paste right now22:58
RiddellRoey: nope, I've never used btrfs23:00
Roeyok23:00
Roeybtw Riddell you *rock*, keep rocking23:00
Riddell:)23:01
kyfellaUUID=5fba2edb-daf9-48fa-bb32-6d7821c12d0d = File system...... /home = Mount Point ......btrfs = type .... in your case with home, it shows  UUID=5fba2edb-daf9-48fa-bb32-6d7821c12d0d /home           btrfs   defaults,subvol=@home 0  where it is indicating to me that /home is a subvolume of / or root23:01
kyfellai would say that you could create a subvolume named arch which would thereinturn be /arch23:02
kyfellaor your fstab would then look something like UUID=5fba2edb-daf9-48fa-bb32-6d7821c12d0d /arch           btrfs   defaults,subvol=@arch 023:02
kyfellathat it would be a 3rd entry23:02
kyfellaall subvolumes being on the main UUID, in different subvolumes23:03

kyfelladid it work Roey?23:10
kyfellaI am just guessing at that since I have never directly worked with SSD volumes on Linux before, but according to what I am seeing in Man pages and what your showing me in fstab, it seems to make sense23:12
