[00:00] dante123, Here is a link along the lines of TJ-'s help. http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=1271.0 [00:01] okay last time I used 40_custom and added the entry there, then reran grub and upon reboot it shows up [00:03] dante123: Yes, you can do 40_custom too. 41_custom avoids having to edit the system scripts themselves [00:05] ok [00:08] whats the command to rerun grub2 configuration? [00:08] sudo update-grub i remember now\ [00:21] im not sure how a synaptic touchpad is supposed to behave these days.. whether emulate middle mouse button is still a thing etc [00:22] in any case.. I don't seem to have a middle click.. i've got a physical left and right button at the bottom of the pad.. and the pad itself clicks when you press down on it === mhall119_ is now known as mhall119 [01:44] I just upgraded a bunch of packages from the last few months and I can no longer login to unity... i3wm is working === fibz_ is now known as `Fibz === Guest88546 is now known as jack [02:51] actually just realized unity is completely missing from my DE picker [02:51] i3 is the only one left [02:53] /usr/xsessions/gnome.desktop is still there [02:55] blocky, run a reinstall the ubuntu desktop and se what the terminal says, gnome underlies unity. === STiK is now known as STiK_M [03:08] Beldar: thanks, that sort of worked... it's back in the menu now and i can login to it, but my wallpaper loads and nothing else. no unity panel [03:08] heh, and an error report [03:11] is there a way to restart gdm from terminal? service gdm restart doesn't work anymore [03:11] blocky, Do you have a proprietary graphic installed? [03:12] or any heh? [03:12] Beldar: nope, it's a sandy bridge laptop with intel [03:13] i forget what it's called but i set up an app to display system performance stats overlaid on the wallpaper, similar to gkrellm, and that's working too [03:13] and i think redshift is working, cause the desktop has a pink hue [03:14] oh its not gdm, its lightdm [03:14] blocky, There is a compiz unity reset for 13.10, I assume it is fine for 14.04, that would be my first try, needs a reboot generally to set. I start at the easiest first is all. [03:16] Beldar: trying that next [03:19] Beldar: no luck [03:21] blocky, you reboot? [03:21] Beldar: yeah [03:21] blocky, Hmm, not sure beyond that without guessing really, not an area I have had issues in is all. [03:22] Beldar: okay thanks, i can still watch netflix in i3wm [03:23] the errors you had on the reinstall should give some info, I would use that to search or in inquires here. At least to rule it out, if you wanted to mess around. [03:25] you could install a minimal like lxde and save the install info to purge it later if needed, just ideas, sounds like tiling wm works for you though. [04:01] Is there a "skype" for ubuntu? [04:02] how do I install it? [04:02] apt-cache search skype yeild only pidgin plugins [04:02] and empathy ones [04:11] <`Fibz> sudo apt-get install skype [04:11] <`Fibz> oh wait, this PC isnt running trusty [04:13] <`Fibz> yup, just sudo apt-get install skype [04:19] onca_, skype is in the canonical partners repos if in trusty, make sure it is open and your updated. [04:20] It's installed here, heh I have just not used it. [07:22] hi all, hi all ... I use the Ubuntu 14.04, I have a user with the default groups (adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare) and encrypted home. Everything works well, but I have error in nautilus to mount a FAT32 partition (in another disk [sdb] or mount of usb pendrive FAT32 formatted). The error message is 'You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "[UUID OF PARTITION]"'. Can anyone helpme to identify the root caus [07:22] e? [07:23] Dudytz: do you have any setting for this partition in /etc/fstab? [07:24] no, no settings in fstab [07:27] my partition configuration is: /dev/sdb1 = boot | /dev/sdb2 = root | /dev/sda1 = home ... I have a /dev/sda2 FAT32 formmated and a /dev/sdc1 (usb pendrive) ... the sda2 and sdc1 have the error of permission [07:29] my boot and root are in the sdb because is a flash memory of 16GB .... the sda is a hard disk and sdc is assigned to the usb [07:29] Dudytz: can you open Terminal, type *mount* to see the option of the mount point of sda2 and sdc [07:36] /dev/sda2 on /media/eduardo/MULTIBOOT type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2) [07:37] the sdc not mount and not appear in the mount list [07:37] but the error in nautilus is the same [07:38] sda2 only appears in the mount list after a try of mount in nautilus, the partition not mount and I give the permission error ... but the partition is visible in the mount list [08:19] What happened to Jockey? Seems it was deleted from the release a month ago... Has it been replaced with something else? [08:21] ubuntu-drivers-common! [08:28] Good morning. === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer [10:16] Challenge: Kubuntu 14.04, has anyone experience or working dual GPU (2 x AMD Radeon 290X) or similar working with second GPU also working properly? lspci finds them both, aticonfig sees them both. xorg autodetection does not find the displays in second GPU. [10:16] I can create simple xorg.conf which activates both GPUs and the displays attached, but infortunately it leaves errors to KDE. [10:24] berg__: Check the Xorg log-file, maybe the EDIDs aren't being handled correctly. Also, see what "xrandr -q" reports [10:25] Reports just the displays in the "active" gpu. [10:26] Should xrandr --listproviders report something? Now it reports ... nothing. [10:26] Just Providers: number: 0 [10:27] Still the "primary" GPU and displays work fine and with OpenGL and OpenCL. The second GPU is invisible. [10:37] Can I turn the my question around. In Ubuntu/Kubuntu should one rely on GPU and display autodetection or should user provide perfect xorg.conf. It affects whether I report bug to xorg/xrandr autodetection or KDE side. [10:44] Hi [10:45] anyone with Kubuntu 14.04 with akonadi/baloo problems? [10:45] the akonadi folder is growing and shrinking all the time. Jups up to 3.6GB then shrinks to 500MB and start all over again [10:46] and akonadiserver, akonadi_baloo_indexer and mysqld are working all the time and eating my CPU [10:50] will 14.04 lts have the newest kernel 3.14? [10:50] junka: no [10:50] see the kernel freeze and the 3.14 release date. [10:51] 3.14 released today while the kernel freeze is on 3rd of april [10:53] ah wait, the kernel freeze is in april? but they told they will not change to 3.14 because its to near to the release of 14.04. they will backport important stuff === ghostcube__ is now known as ghostcube [10:54] well since they have a schedule why not follow it? [10:56] kernel freeze means the sub-version of the kernel. not the main version of the kernel, imho [10:56] pitty [10:57] like i said: important stuff gets backported and with the enablement stack you can get a 14.10 kernel afterwards, too [10:57] ok thanks [11:10] 'Morning folks [12:40] okay, I messed up and now everything I try to install says this http://paste.ubuntu.com/7184625/ - basically I tried to install skype [12:46] oh I fixed eet === cmagina-away is now known as cmagina [13:43] Hi...

[18:59] hello, bluetooth works on 3.14 kernel which is 14.04. Should I run 13.10 for the moment without bluetooth or change to 14.04, or wait for the release? [19:20] people still use bluetooth? === cmagina is now known as cmagina-away === cmagina-away is now known as cmagina [19:34] streulma: does 14.04 work well enough for you? [19:41] mine works is on a testing old box with lubuntu [19:54] I'd like to install skype, but I can't find the proper process for it. I've tried numerous times to follow skype communities efforts to explain how to do it, but no avail. I am on a freshly installed system now though. [19:58] is there a nice visualizer for xmms2 or abraca? [20:15] hai, could someone halp install the dependencies for this app, I get the following error when I try to install skype - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186644/ - it says lib32asound2 and ia32-libs are not installed, but I don't know where to find them [20:15] plz [20:16] neither has installation candidates [20:17] plz ignore that pastebin, I'll produce one with the errors I encountered [20:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186672/ is my error [20:20] I think this involves something to do with ia32-libs:i386 but I am a novice [20:22] wait, I found a tutorial [20:22] trusty doesn't have ia32-libs, it uses multiarch instead [20:22] okay - i understand [20:23] I think I found a tutorial, it's processing now [20:23] nice [20:25] while I have your attention. I installed a sd card reader and it turns on but even with a card in it I don't know how to access it [20:25] no idea, I just spoke up because I'm good at APT stuff :P [20:28] hmm - I want to play with my new beagle-bone buuut I can't write to it's sd card [20:29] you guys are awesome [20:30] skype works [20:30] yays [20:31] has anyone successfully paired a surface edition arc touch mouse with the surface pro running ubuntu14.04 === cmagina is now known as cmagina-away [21:12] Any workaround about cgroup-lite autoremoval in 14.04 ? [21:18] is it just me, or when you install any of the quantal or raring (kernel/xorg) upgrades into 12.04 the thing won't ever upgrade to 14.04? [21:35] FYI: 14.04 is still too unstable for my laptop, i switched bach to 12.04 [21:35] back* [22:01] hi [22:02] can someone point me in the right direction on how to use dual graphics? [22:02] i have an amd apu, and a dedicated ati card, but only seem to be able to use the integrated [22:03] i can however see both devices in hardinfo... [22:06] is there a way to switch to the dedicated? === cmagina-away is now known as cmagina [22:10] the hardware is a AMD A10-5750 with a HD 8650G + HD 8570M [22:20] tgrego, if you are using the opensource drivers, you should set DRI_PRIME=1 as an env var when starting the app you'll need the dedicated for. [22:21] I'm not sure however whether Ubuntu needs you to do some setting before you can do that. [22:22] thanks, that will be a good start [22:22] tgrego, I found this page http://xpressrazor.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/enable-and-use-open-source-radeon-drivers-in-a-muxless-hybrid-graphics-intelamd-setup/ [22:23] Mind you that when using 14.04 you can skip Step 1, as you already have the necessary drivers and kernel versions. [22:25] i actually installed the proprietary drivers when it did not work with the open source ones, but the 8570M is not corrently detected in amd control center... will give a try with that open source possible fix [22:26] Hello, is it worth upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 if I dont use unity and upgrade the kernel myself? === cmagina is now known as cmagina-away [23:02] the latest kernel kinda broke the intel driver [23:04] multiple applications fail with ../../../../../../../src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_reset.c:43: brw_get_graphics_reset_status: Assertion `brw->hw_ctx != ((void *)0)' failed.
