alkisgkvm is crashing for at least a month in trusty for me, does it also crash for someone else?07:13
sandGorgonalkisg, did you try virtualbox ? wanted to see if both crash which means some kernel level stuff is borked07:14

prainworker_good morning!08:22
prainworker_can someone help me for a sec08:22
prainworker_i was send from the ubuntu channel to this one because i have problem to get my nvidia driver aktive in 14.0408:22
lordievaderprainworker_: Ask your question, perhaps someone can help.08:22
elfy!ask08:22
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:22
prainworker_if i am under software sources and the driver tap08:23
prainworker_click on the driver for my card 331.38 it sourdly try to download something and than jumps back to the open source driver08:24
prainworker_fresh out of the box install08:24
prainworker_only thing done in ubuntu channel was08:24
prainworker_apt-get install updates08:24
prainworker_and apt-get install upgrates08:25
Wntthose commands make no sense08:25
lordievaderI think he means: apt-get update&&apt-get upgrade.08:26
elfyapt-get update and upgrade makes no sense?08:26
elfylordievader: I'm going to wait till you post before I type anything :p08:26
sgo11prainworker_, hi, I am using nvidia-driver here. what is your problem?08:26
lordievaderelfy: Hihi ;)08:26
prainworker_ok what i have to to08:26
prainworker_sgo11 hey good morning08:27
prainworker_i fresh installed 14.04 to get some support for new wacom08:27
prainworker_when i try to install the latest driver from nv08:27
prainworker_over the software sources it allways jumps back to open source08:27
Wnthow can one install the nvidia binary driver via the command line? maybe that's something you might want to try?08:28
Wntat least then you should get an error message08:28
sgo11prainworker_, for me, I never use GUI to install nvidia driver. you can try it in command line.08:28
Wntif the GUI does'nt handle errors that well08:28
prainworker_sgo11 can you guid me on that08:28
sgo11prainworker_, first, "sudo apt-get purge <your nvidia packages>". and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331"08:29
prainworker_where to i find the info for your pkg full name i mean08:30
sgo11prainworker_, I don't know what nvidia packages you installed. check it with "dpkg -l | grep nvidia"08:30
sgo11prainworker_, remove or purge them. and then use "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331"08:31
prainworker_sgo1108:31
prainworker_no output only >08:31
sgo11prainworker_, no output of "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" ?08:32
prainworker_yes08:32
sgo11prainworker_, if there is no output, that means you haven't installed any nvidia packages.08:32
sgo11prainworker_, just run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331"08:33
sgo11prainworker_, after it completes, reboots your system. hopefully, it will work. :)08:33
prainworker_ok wait here is something fish i dont get output at all08:33
prainworker_will kill xserver be back in a mom08:34
elfysgo11: wouldn't it be an idea to find out what card they have, -331 might not be the right package for them08:39
sgo11elfy, oh. you might be right. I always installed the latest driver. :)08:40

BluesKaj'Morning folks10:55
SuperLagAnyone else have issues with your system making you login twice? When I log in, after the system has been on screensaver and then sent to the login, screen... it will log in, then I use the system for a few seconds, then it kicks me back to the login screen again.11:04
SuperLagand after I log in the second time, everything works as expected11:04
SuperLagI'm not sure what description I'd use to describe that, for searching for an existing bug.11:07
WntSuperLag: which desktop environment and loging manager are you using?11:07
SuperLagPlain old vanilla Ubuntu... so Unity and LightDM.11:13
SuperLaganother question... why won't Ubuntu let me set Chrome as the default browser? It has no issue with Firefox Nightly being the default, but Chrome won't stick11:17
maxbSuperLag: Your "login twice" issue - do you have two monitors?11:42
SuperLagmaxb: nope12:32
maxbSuperLag: Oh. I have the problem you describe on *one* of three machines running Trusty. I was wondering if the dual monitors could somehow be realted12:32
maxb*related12:33
SuperLagmaxb: actually... not on the affected system. I have a nearly identical install at work, with two monitors, and it doesn't exhibit this issue.12:33
SuperLagmaxb: the affected machine is a laptop. Lenovo ThinkPad W530.12:33
BluesKajSuperLag, what's the cpu and gpu in the W530? Just curious because I'm using a G50012:35
SuperLagmodel name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz12:36
SuperLagand GPU is an Nvidia Quadro K1000M w/2GB12:37
SuperLagBluesKaj: and with enough bad experiences, I've learned just to stick with the nouveau driver. Trying to get the closed binary *working* and *well*... it's like a house of cards12:38
SuperLagi.e. you might be able to get it up, and working, but the slightest wind can knock it over again.12:39
SuperLagHopefully with Nvidia extending the "olive branch" and providing more code, nouveau will only get better.12:39
BluesKajSuperLag, nice machine :)12:40
SuperLagBluesKaj: this laptop seriously kicks ass. Too bad the W540 came out shortly thereafter. :)12:40
SuperLagBluesKaj: 32GB of RAM and 3x SSDs, too. It's really nice to not have to worry about RAM.12:41
* SuperLag will shut up now. :)12:41
SuperLagI think what I might start doing is rather than separating out /home into its own partition, is doing the ~user/{Desktop,Documents,Downloads,Music,Pictures,Videos} on their own partition and bindmounting them. Is that a crazy idea?12:43
SuperLagthe idea being that an upgrade is still like a fresh install, but all the data is still there12:43
progersHello12:50
BluesKajSuperLag, dunno, never tried that, a separate /home was all I ever used in the last few yrs and without any problems. I've done clean installs to / while retaining the data in /home without anty effects12:51
progersHehe don't know what happend but the printer is working :)12:51
BluesKajsometimes loaded modules don't stick until after a reboot12:53
BluesKajgetting to be like windows :(12:54
mamarleySuperLag: A K1000M with nouveau?  That's like buying a Mustang and only ever driving it at 20MPH...12:58
mamarleyWhat version of the blob did you try?  Did you install it using the Ubuntu package?13:00
progersWho know where i can find some good (apt) documentation? So i can use apt well13:10
BluesKajyes SuperLag with that gpu the nvidia-331 driver should work like a charm13:11

BLZbubbai saw a few posts about Mate going into the default Ubuntu repos, but how do I get it to work?13:28
BLZbubbaI didn't see any packages containing mate-session13:28
BLZbubbathis is on a Tahr install that I'm playing with13:29
SuperLagmaxb: back to your earlier question. I was incorrect. I *am* experiencing that same issue on my work machine.13:46
SuperLagmamarley: I didn't get that machine for the video power. I got it for the expandibility. I have 32GB of RAM in that laptop, and *3* SSDs.13:46
mamarleySuperLag: Yeah, but you will also get better battery life with the blob.13:47
SuperLagmamarley: you think?13:47
mamarleyHave you tried installing nvidia-331?  It should work just fine.13:47
mamarleyI know.13:47
mamarleyNouveau doesn't support any kind of power scaling yet.13:48
SuperLagmamarley: not since 13.04. And the last time I messed with the Nvidia blob, it was a fucking nightmare.13:48
SuperLagand that's putting it mildly13:48
mamarleyWhat kind of problems occurred?13:48
SuperLagno X.13:49
mamarleyAnd you installed using the Ubuntu package?13:49
SuperLagyes13:49
mamarleyHmm, that's odd.  I still think you should try it again though.13:49
SuperLagthat was another lesson I learned along the way... don't *ever* do it from the plain installer you get from nvidia.com13:50
mamarleyI have a similar system (Thinkpad T530) and it worked out-of-the-box here.13:50
mamarleyThat's definitely true.  Ubuntu (and probably Debian too) do some screwy stuff with GL libs, and nvidia's .run installer can't handle that very well.13:50
SuperLagmamarley: if the Intel driver would work on anything other than the VGA output, I'd just use it.13:50
mamarleyOh, that's another thing.  Do you have Optimus disabled in the BIOS?13:51
SuperLagyes13:51
mamarleyOK, that's what I do too.13:51
SuperLagI don't do the switching.13:51
SuperLagI tell it to use the Discrete card.13:51
mamarleyI would recommend giving nvidia-331 another shot.  If it breaks X, you can always remove it again and it should go back to Nouveau without any trouble.13:52
SuperLagmamarley: that wasn't always so cut & dry either.13:53
SuperLag(going back to nouveau)13:53
mamarleyBut you should save the dmesg log and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log for postmortem examination.13:53
mamarleySo maybe somebody can figure out why it doesn't work.13:53
SuperLagmamarley: one of the issues, I'm sure, was that the then-current Nvidia driver didn't want to play nice with VMware. And as I use that *daily*, I didn't have time/desire/patience to drill down and figure out what was the root cause of the issue.13:54
* mamarley doesn't know anything about vmware, sorry.13:55
=== jack_ is now known as jack
SuperLagone of the reasons I got a beefy laptop with LOTS of RAM.... I'm running a minimum of 4 VMs at any given time. :)14:10
SuperLagI was looking for one that could do 64GB of RAM... but no dice. Yet.14:10
mamarleyIt just seems a shame to neuter such a powerful system by running a driver that won't let you take advantage of the GPU.14:15
sgo11hi, I am using nvidia driver. I remembered xorg.conf is not required before. the configuration can be detected and setup at runtime somehow. but today, when I remove xorg.conf, it just doesn't work. why? is xorg.conf required in trusty? thanks.14:20
=== jack is now known as Guest44199
SuperLagmamarley: no neutering, really... nothing I do even requires anything more powerful than the Intel. It's all Java, and a web browser. So the CPU, RAM and storage for the VMs are more than adequate.14:29
=== Guest44199 is now known as jack
SuperLagInteresting. Just updated my work machine, and now none of my VMs think there is enough swap.14:56
progersIs there any difference beetween the kde compositing type with opengl 2.0 or opengl3.1?15:03
BluesKajprogers, i haven't seen much diff , perhaps 2.0 is somewhat more stable with fewer effects , but I haven't seen much diff15:05
progersOk will keep it at 2.0 but my video card is powerfull so i think it can handle the opengl3.115:06
