Kalidarnhmm, has anyone noticed that the installer appears to freeze at Preparing to install Kubuntu12:20
Kalidarnthe state where it asks if you want to install third party software or download updates12:20
Kalidarnyou get the spinning balls, but other than that no apparent activity12:20
Kalidarnbtw using Beta 2 media atm12:21
Kalidarnbtw the computer is nothing fancy, just a regular desktop pc that is about 5 years old.12:23
BluesKajHiyas all12:23
Kalidarnokay so it is actually doing things12:23
Kalidarn:P12:23
Kalidarnseriously. http://askubuntu.com/questions/437635/how-to-turn-off-baloo-in-kde-4-1313:20
Kalidarni know it's a good feature for newbies, but i tend to use locate if i need to find something or find from the terminal, and I don't really need an indexer indexing things.13:21
yofelKalidarn: see aseigo's post on http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=12004713:28
Kalidarnwell not really a transition as i reinstalled.13:28
yofelunderstand "transition" from an upstream POV13:28
Kalidarnso i would assume that nepomuk is not installed.13:28
Kalidarnah k13:28
yofelthere are bits of nepomuk installed as they're required for the migration, but it doesn't run by default13:29
Kalidarnright13:29
yofelyou can even uninstall nepomuk-core-runtime if you want now13:29
Kalidarnah as it says it's not started ;)13:30
Kalidarnso i think i'll leave it alone as i don't want it to start13:30
Kalidarnokay the device manager for choosing binary drivers has some issues.13:36
Kalidarnwhen it looked to complete the window refreshed with no list of drivers, and now has left me with a system that can't start X :P13:37
Kalidarnit looks like it removed xserver-xorg-video-nouveau but didn't put the binary one in it's place13:38
=== mamarley is now known as Guest51393
Kalidarnhmm this is my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7179405/ i wonder what went wrong13:40
Kalidarn[     6.059] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau13:41
Kalidarnoh so it looks like it removed the nouveau package but didn't change the module to nvidia ;)13:41
Kalidarnit did install nvidia hmm.13:45
Kalidarnspecifically version 33113:45
Kalidarnhmm it looks like it's trying to load both.13:46
Kalidarnokay that's weird reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-nouveau seemed to fix things13:49
Kalidarnand glx info says13:50
Kalidarnerver glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation13:50
Kalidarnso i'd say it's using the binary driver now.13:50
=== mamarley is now known as Guest78082
yofelshadeslayer: ^ why is it removing nouveau? That shouldn't really be needed. Or is ubuntu-drivers-common(?) doing that?14:02
Kalidarnbtw i clicked the "Recommended" one14:12
Kalidarnin there it did eventually load a list of drivers14:12
Kalidarnand then it sort of looked like it installed something (which it did)14:12
Kalidarnbut that needs more testing before release :P14:13
BluesKajsytem settings>multimedia>audio&video settings>14:16
BluesKajstill hangs and won't open device preferences 14:17
Kalidarnthat's weird works for me :P14:17
Kalidarnthough i see "Default"14:17
Kalidarnis the playback device14:17
BluesKajKalidarn, have you updated kde14:17
BluesKajalsamixer and kmix are fine14:18
KalidarnPlatform Version 4.12.9514:18
Kalidarni thought 4.13 was released14:18
BluesKajPlatform Version 4.12.97 here14:18
Kalidarnokay ill do an update.14:19
Kalidarnhmm14:19
BluesKajand it happens on my desktop pc as well using the same backend but totally different soundcards 14:20
Kalidarndo you know what causes this:14:20
KalidarnW: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/au.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_universe_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch14:20
Kalidarnsometimes i see that rarely.14:20
KalidarnW: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/au.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_universe_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch14:20
Kalidarni guess deleting the file and apt-get update should be sufficient14:21
BluesKajno idea, unless the source hasn't been updated 14:21
Kalidarni'll try us mirrors14:23
BluesKajhi soee, mamarley 14:25
mamarleyHi.  Sorry about the flapping.  That was the last of it.14:26
BluesKajmamarley, flapping?14:26
Kalidarnwhat is flapping14:27
mamarleyDisconnecting and reconnecting14:27
Kalidarnonly flapping i know is flappy bird flapping14:27
Kalidarnoh.14:28
Kalidarni hadn't noticed :D14:28
Kalidarnset irc.look.smart_filter on 14:28
Kalidarnfilter add irc_smart * irc_smart_filter *14:28
Kalidarnsolves that for me14:28
Kalidarnhttp://dev.weechat.org/post/2008/10/25/Smart-IRC-join-part-quit-message-filter14:29
Kalidarnand i don't do it myself because i use znc on a vps very close to a freenode server :P14:29
Kalidarnwhich reminds me im not on my favorite irc server14:29
BluesKajflapper14:31
Kalidarnthere we go14:32
Kalidarngood old roddenberry is back online14:32
* BluesKaj repeats himself.... flapper > Kalidarn14:32
Kalidarni usually sustain irc connection for like months at a time14:32
BluesKajbouncers are ok, no real need if you're already cloaked14:33
Kalidarnwell more to avoid join/part and use on multiple devices14:33
Kalidarnand receive private messages when away14:33
Kalidarnalso a fibre connection in an vps is going to probably be more reliable than one's adsl connection14:34
BluesKajthink I recieved one private message in 2 yrs while away 14:35
Kalidarnyeah well my university has their irc channel on freenode14:36
Kalidarnso i usually tell people to contact me there if they need me14:36
Kalidarnokay so dist-upgrade says no new packages14:37
KalidarnBluesKaj: so are you using any ppas?14:48
Kalidarnim only seeing 9514:48
BluesKajKalidarn, no ppas14:49
BluesKajoops Kalidarn yes I have one,  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu trusty main , but it's not listed as a ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d14:51
BluesKajok , gotta go for 30 mins or so..BBL14:52

vHandaKalidarn: try `baloosearch`16:46
shadeslayeryofel: kcm now also removes the currently installed driver17:04
shadeslayerKalidarn: interesting that the nvidia driver requires the nouveau driver 0.o17:04
yofelIIRC the driver loading is set up so that the nvidia driver is preferred if installed17:07
yofelI personally have nouveau installed here, and am very glad about that so I can purge the nvidia driver and get a working UI when something happens and I have no network connection17:07
shadeslayerhm17:08
shadeslayeryofel: well, I interpreted the s-p-g code as "Remove old driver , install new one"17:09
shadeslayeryofel: also, how would one solve the issue of rolling back to nouveau by not removing the nvidia driver in this case17:09
shadeslayersince the nvidia driver will always be prefered17:09
yofelxorg.conf and alternative switching I guess17:10
yofelIn the past the nvidia driver versions were even co-installable. Doesn't seem to be the case these days anymore17:11
yofelso maybe removing it is the indended way?17:12

tester56yofel: remeber when a user had a conflict one package trying to overwrite a file of another?18:09
yofelthat happens all the time, what package was that?18:09
tester56yofel: To be honest I do not know anymore, but do you consider this a bug in packaging?18:10
yofelthat's definitely a packaging bug18:10
tester56yofel: I have found a bunch of this errors when installing dbgsym packages18:10
yofelor well, most of the time18:10
yofelthat's... weird18:11
yofelunless you're installing both -dbg and -dbgsym18:11
tester56yofel: Unpacking libnepomukutils4-dbgsym (4:4.12.95-0ubuntu1) ...18:12
tester56dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libnepomukutils4-dbgsym_4%3a4.12.95-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb (--unpack):18:12
tester56 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libnepomukutils.so.4.13.0', which is also in package kdelibs5-dbg 4:4.12.95-0ubuntu118:12
yofelthat would be the case I mentioned18:13
yofelyou only need one of those18:13
tester56yofel: yeah, but how is the user supposed to know?18:13
* yofel wonders if the dbgsym documentation mentions that18:14
tester56yofel: could you not just simply add a conflict to both of them?18:15
yofelhm...18:15
tester56yofel: kdelibs5-dbg would want to remove  libnepomukutils4-dbgsym18:15
tester56yofel: I am not sure about vice versa though, as the -dbg are more useful than the plain dbgsym packages18:16
yofelthe -dbgsym packages are generated by a post-build script in the archive build, for the -dbg packages we could add something that makes it conflict with $all-binaries-dbgsym or so18:17
yofel-dbg isn't really any more useful, it's just per-source, whereas -dbgsym is per-binary-package18:17
yofel-dbgsym was really created for the auto-retracer from apport used by launchpad, though we need them in drkonqi for packages that don't ship a -dbg package18:18
tester56yofel: According to Martin Pitt the -dbg packages contain sometimes lots of additional stuff, at least for python software18:19
tester56yofel: he recommended installing -dbg if available and if not -dbgsym18:20
yofelah right, python is being special again18:20
yofeland yeah, that's what we do currently18:20
tester56yofel: I set up a script doing exactly that, it gave me around 100 conflicts  ... many of them being kde packages18:21
tester56yofel: I would have expected more, to be honest :-)18:21
tester56yofel: do you know any way of detecting the conflict before it takes place?18:22
yofelsounds like you're matching things wrong, if you're looking for the debug package for libnepomukutils4, you want kdelibs5-dbg18:22
tester56yofel: how should my script know that? I am detecting after names18:23
yofelhard to say, source for libnepomukutils4 is kde4libs, which has one single debug package -> kdelibs5-dbg18:23
yofelthat's true for all of kde at least18:24
yofelpykde being the exception again as that has multiple18:24
yofeltester56: you might want to talk to manchicken when he's online, he's been doing work on kubuntu-debug-installer18:25
tester56yofel: if I understand correctly if apt detects the conflict it kills dpkg and simply leaves back things  ... doesn't it?18:25
yofeland you can look at the current one, which works - except that it can't enable the dbgsym repo if needed18:25
yofeltester56: pretty much, if this is a chroot or so, you could set force-overwrite in the dpkg config so the error is ignored. I do *not* recommend that for a production system though18:26
yofelapt fails because dpkg errors out, and aborts at that point. (leaving the conflicting package uninstalled and everything else unconfigured)18:27
tester56yofel: no I do not want to do that, as my script installs all dbg packages  first18:27
tester56yofel: I am installing one by one because of that ;-)18:27
yofelthen as I said, see how kubuntu-debug-installer solves that (that's what provides the 'install debug packages' button in drkonqi)18:28
yofelalso, at least for archive packages, apt-file can be useful to find stuff18:28
tester56yofel: I did not have good experiences with kubuntu-debug-installer18:28
yofelwell, we know... that's why manchicken was trying to improve it (but got stuck with refactoring qapt)18:29
tester56yofel: would you be interested in the conflicting packages?18:29
tester56yofel: and generation scripts for dbgsym cannot consider -dgb?18:30
yofelthey're not supposed to, different use case (as far as I know)18:30
yofelone could report a bug against pkg-create-dbgsym (which is what creates those), but I doubt it's valid18:31
yofelwe could also try to generate a conflict for the debug packages against all -dbgsyms generated for the same source, but that might be rather tricky as well18:32
yofelfeel free to send a mail to the ML though, someone else might come up with something18:32
tester56yofel: I could detect conflicting files before installing the package, but that would be really messy and time consuming for the script (download package, parse through the files and look if file exists already one system)18:33
tester56yofel: is there any better way using apt-get or aptitude?18:34
tester56yofel: which downloads, checks first, if check okay then install, if not it just deletes the package?18:34
yofelnot that I know of, that would be really handy though in general18:37
tester56yofel: that check would be timeconsuming though ... 18:39
yofelcould be, yeah18:39
tester56yofel: first you need to get a list of all system files, then compare using the Contents file18:39
tester56yofel: Contents file would be list of what files are int the deb18:40
yofelI don't think Contents is generated for dbgsym packages, only for the primary archive. So you'll still have to download and look at the file list in the deb18:41
tester56yofel: thanks for your help!18:50
yofelyw18:50
A3D_DamirI think that kubuntu needs to be more focused on managing other devices connected on kubuntu like phone, tablet , smart tv and stream content from kubuntu on smart TV will be great 19:13

Kalidarnshadeslayer: yeah that is interesting23:36
Kalidarni guess that's why the driver manager gave me an unbootable system23:36
Kalidarnbecause when it installed the binary driver it was like nouveau driver YOU DON'T NEED23:37
Kalidarnbut you do ;)23:37
Kalidarni have not filed a bug on this but probably should23:37
Kalidarni fixed it myself by simply reinstalling the nouveau driver23:37
valoriesounds important23:38
Kalidarnbecause it was apparent to Xorg.0.log that it tries to load both23:38
valorieI hope you will file or comment on a bug23:38
Kalidarnthere probably already is one ;)23:38
