=== jacky is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as jacky [00:20] hi [00:21] any have problems with graphoc card on intel i5-4670 with kubuntu 14.04? [00:25] 000 [00:34] hi all [00:35] Hello [00:36] i want ask about integrated graphic card.. [00:37] i have i5-4670 and dont can up resolution more that 1024/768 [00:37] i dont know waht is the problem..... need any special drivers on kubuntu 14? [01:12] hi. can somebody tell me how to ignore a broken package in kubuntu 14.04? i used teh built-in driver thingy and it installed nvidia driver and now synaptic is complaining that the default xorg driver is broken. [01:12] i'd like to jsut ignore it if possible as the nvidia one seems to be working. [01:14] Hi folks. [01:15] Does anyone have a solution for an NVIDIA GeForce 700 series card for 14.04 by any chance? [01:15] lspci shows the card and detects it properly, but I can't get a working nvidia/xorg combination working [01:16] the default driver menu doesnt recommend anything for it? [01:16] settings>system settings -> driver manager [01:16] Nope [01:16] And I know nvidia's driver supports the card [01:17] I can't seem to download it from nvidia.com, it keeps dropping the connection during the transfer [01:19] I'm stuck in an 800 x 600 display through an HDMI cable to a 21.5" monitor :( [01:21] I did install from the beta 2 ISO, I guess I can try burning the official release ISO and reinstall [01:21] i took the official update today and my crappy nvidia card is worknig pretty well with teh default driver [01:22] My install doesn't see that it's there, nvidia-settings has no configuration available [01:22] Ran nvidia-xconfig and then I couldn't get a display from lightdm [01:22] Had to back that out and continue from there [01:23] I should be able to run 1920 x 1080 (as I do on my Win7 install) but ya, it doesn't think I have an nvidia card installed somehow [01:45] AciD`: For the record, I rebooted again and the problem has actually reappeared. So I think you lose that bet :P [01:47] But it's Friday evening and this is my work computer, soooo . . . [01:48] * keithzg will worry about it Monday. [01:54] ...oh, wow, the clock on this PC is off by over 40 minutes now? Okay, yeah, it's definitely something weird in regards to this computer's perception of time . . . whatever. It's the weekend! [01:54] * keithzg actually leaves this time. [02:12] Figured out how to get nvidia card working === etriaph is now known as Etriaph [02:12] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-nvidia-driver-331-67-ubuntu1404/ [02:12] In the case anyone's lookin' [02:12] Worked like a charm. [02:16] good to hear you got it working [03:22] great notes migration isnt working, nor is anakonda after upgrade. Ideas? [03:22] akonadi i mean [03:26] westyvw_: two channels I can recommend are #kontact and #akonadi [03:27] however, it is now the 4-day Easter weekend in most of Europe [03:27] valorie: no posts by the kubuntu team yet then [03:27] so answers might be slow in arriving [03:27] 4 days? [03:27] right, everyone was working 20 hour days, and many have taken off for the weekend [03:28] yes, I heard that Th-Sun or Fri-Mon are both common [03:28] lol, i guess so i too am taking Monday off [03:29] leisure is a part of life us Murricans ignore, to our detriment [03:29] you aren't alone; I heard of another person whose akonadi process wouldn't start [03:30] not very many problems this time out though [03:34] i think i found the solution to this, but i need to reboot to update the video driver. geez . [03:34] thanks for chat! [03:46] <__dan__> hi all, congrats on 14.04 :) thanks to all devs etc === jackyalcine is now known as jacky [04:05] oi [04:27] anyone about? [04:28] upgraded to 14.04 and it broke [04:28] how disappointing [04:28] What happened? [04:29] Uh-Oh. In my Muon Update manager it looks for updates, then it says waiting for configuration file, and nothing else [04:29] facorread, it froze while loading the desktop [04:29] hi, ubuntu upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, when boot up it shows "error: malformed file \n press any key to cotinue". Anyone knows how to fix this? [04:29] i've not done a clean install and now i can't install my basic apps [04:29] really crap [04:30] muon discover is awful, and it won't allow me to install package manager [04:30] OK wild guesses for both hkuieagle and ptyx, try clean installs again. [04:30] I also dislike muon discover. [04:30] I prefer muon but it has a bug about purging and removing; I use synaptic as workaround. [04:30] i like how it looks but it simply doesn't work half the time [04:31] how to install synaptic? [04:31] the package manager should never be removed, ever [04:31] In a console run apt-get install synaptic muon [04:31] muon may work for you. [04:31] Sorry [04:31] sudo apt-get install synaptic muon [04:32] After showing that error, it can start up normally. I guess something is wrong with Grub [04:32] bjrohan: you might run dpkg as well, to reconfigure [04:32] it's saying i'm missing libmuonprivate2 [04:33] valorie: what do I entger on the console to do that? [04:33] facorread: thx [04:33] sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:34] valorie: says locked by another process, Muon is not running though [04:34] sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [04:34] ptyx wait, is your desktop loaded already? [04:35] then run it again (up-arrow) [04:35] before reinstalling, why not try `sudo apt-get install -f`? [04:35] and get the malformed package fixed [04:35] hkuieagle: ^^^ [04:36] valorie: it is running but I see some errors passing by [04:36] also, there seems to be a mixup between muon package manager and muon discover here [04:36] some prefer one, some the other, but 14.04 shipped with Discover [04:37] valorie: [04:37] hello, nice to be with you, I am willing to work with what you can, count me [04:37] Errors were encountered while processing: [04:37] libperl5.18 [04:37] libcommon-sense-perl [04:37] gvfs-backends [04:37] libsnmp30:amd64 [04:37] bjrohan you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [04:37] very good, unopaste [04:39] also, `top` is your friend [04:40] it shows you what is running, and it's often easy to kill stuff from there [04:40] valorie: you mean reinstall grub2? [04:40] it's a upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 [04:40] "htop" is even better than "top". [04:40] there was advice above to reinstall [04:41] which shouldn't be necessary [04:42] DarthFrog: htop does give you more info, but that isn't always necessary [04:43] valorie: I find htop to be a clearer display and the kill facility is much better. [04:43] Nothing wrong with regular top, though. [04:44] I use both at times [04:44] amazing the power in 3 or 4 letters [05:22] ok. so, updated to 14.04 and upon restart got "grub_term_highlight_color not found. whats the solution? [05:22] i only have access to grub rescue [05:24] wow [05:24] grub rescue is horrible [05:25] covey: do you have a recent backup of your ~/home ? [05:26] unfortunately i dont believe so. [05:26] i dont remember the last time i backed it up === dan is now known as dcmul [05:28] do you have home in its own partition? [05:31] yes, but unless im mistaken that would be a predominantly storage partition and not the os partition [05:31] that means you can do a clean install and still have your home untouched [05:31] if it is worth keeping [05:31] if that doesnt sound right then say so. im not exactly the brightest bulb when it comes to this kind of thing [05:32] home is mostly storage, yes [05:32] your files, songs, photos etc. [05:32] not everyone puts it onto a separate partition though [05:32] if you did not, then a clean install will erase your home [05:33] their are a fair amount of things i dont want to lose. im on a business trip though and dont really have anything to do a clean install with. im on my phone at the moment [05:34] covey, here is an idea -- can you get to some big box store that would have hard drives and enclosures? [05:35] i run a 2 hd dual boot system, so yes, most of the non-os stuff is saved on a separate drive [05:35] cool [05:35] yes [05:35] then you only need a usb key, but you have to have A computer to download the ISO onto [05:36] ok. so there isnt anything i can do from the command line to fix the problem? [05:36] even a windows box can probably burn an ISO onto a thumb drive [05:36] right now, your only commandline is the grub rescue [05:37] I personally have never been able to rescue grub with it [05:37] i could probably boot to the windows side, save it on a thumb drive and then redo the kubuntu side actually [05:37] sure [05:37] if grub rescue lets you do that [05:38] that's the problem [05:38] well, that seems fitting. itd be too simple if it worked [05:38] oooo, this might work: [05:38] set root=(hd0,msdos6) [05:38] set prefix=(hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub [05:38] insmod normal [05:38] normal [05:39] from grub rescue [05:39] askubuntu.com/questions/192621/grub-rescue-prompt-repair-grub [05:39] look at that, it might be helpful [05:41] got "no such partition" [05:41] thanks for the link btw [05:41] it has a good number of strategies [06:02] so, got all that to work and still got the same term highlight color error. any other ideas? [06:02] after I upgraded from Kubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 randomly crashes system [06:11] hmmmm [06:12] did you google that error? [06:14] ok, I just did, and it seems that it is cause by uefi [06:14] ugh [06:14] however, some say that `grub2-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda` helps [06:14] of course, if you have a different box or configuration, change that..... [06:51] .xsession-error http://goo.gl/irnZ5A [06:54] Apparently a lot of KDE packages seem to be held in the repository, which might explain my failure to upgrade? [06:55] at any rate attempting to replace my sources.list with trusty entries will make me purge my KDE desktop in favor of GNOME [07:15] FlameReaper-PC: that's not the suggested way to upgrade [07:15] what are you upgrading, first of all? [07:16] valorie: trying to upgrade to 14.04. [07:16] of course, that's not the suggested way, it's a last resort of sorts [07:16] why, what has happened? [07:16] i've been unable to upgrade [07:16] also, from what are you upgrading? [07:16] 13.10 [07:17] so first, `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [07:17] done [07:18] I mean, that was already tried from the first time [07:18] then `sudo do-release-upgrade` [07:18] ^ that's where I'm stuck at [07:18] it's always important to have an up-to-date version [07:18] what happens? [07:21] it's the same error [07:21] the " [07:21] "cannot calculate upgrade" [07:24] can you paste the command and error into pastebin? [07:24] Good morning.

[07:25] hey [07:25] i just upgraded to 14.04 and now i dont have a 1080p resolution what do you think [07:26] hmmm [07:26] back in the day, you had to mess with x.org for that [07:26] now ? [07:26] I dunno [07:26] dhq: xrandr ;) [07:27] lets wikik [07:27] dhq: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/guerrilla-tactics-force-screen-mode-ubuntu [07:27] !xrandr [07:27] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [07:28] Meh, works perfectly for single screens too. [07:28] yes, that seems an oddly formed linky [07:31] this resolution is so bad [07:31] i think i need to connect back to my tv and runxandr === kubuntu is now known as Guest70952 [07:49] valorie: http://pastebin.com/BLHxUcKC << sudo do-release-upgrade output [07:49] valorie: http://pastebin.com/VH0sEfKG << apt.log output [07:50] FlameReaper-PC: "Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu" is this the case? === steel|off is now known as steel_afk [07:50] lordievader: the thing is I already downgraded to the bare minimum [07:50] I mean, ppa purging [07:50] quite a number of stuff [07:51] Good morning ppl, I have a question concerning the new Kubuntu 14.04 LTS release. Every time I try to install something via the Muon Software Center, Kubuntu notifies me about the changes it will make. In this case it wants to remove "xserver-xorg-video-all". Is it safe to continue? [07:51] FlameReaper-PC: At this stage I'd go for a fresh install. [07:51] lordievader: that would suck, and I don't really want to take the time for that [07:52] FlameReaper-PC: The amount of breakage apt predicts cost more time. [07:52] Aquablue1704: You probably don't want to remove that. What are you trying to install? [07:53] I guess I'll hold back from upgrading for now... [07:53] FlameReaper-PC: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed? [07:53] that is a meta-package [07:53] valorie: apparently that I do [07:54] yes I do have it. [07:54] I suggest `sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop` [07:54] dpkg -l | grep ^hi see if you have anything there. I suppose apt-get install -f doesn't help you? [07:54] something is really broken [07:55] @lordievader: The message pops up when I try to install anything from the Muon Software Center: Gimp, VLC, Steam etc. It doesn't matter what it is, it always wants to remove the "xserver-xorg-video-all" package. I am running on a fresh Kubuntu 14.04 64-bit installation. [07:55] Unit193: dpkg -l | grep ^hi returns nothing, apt-get -f install also does nothing. [07:55] !info xserver-xorg-video-all [07:55] xserver-xorg-video-all (source: xorg): X.Org X server -- output driver metapackage. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 (trusty), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [07:55] FlameReaper-PC: Well, that's a good thing, but bummer for the fix. [07:56] Aquablue1704: Hmm, it is only a meta package... There isn't anything else that it wants to remove too? [07:57] Unit193: What should "^hi" target? [07:57] I have it installed though [07:57] according to apt-cache policy [07:57] lordievader: dpkg -l lists packages, first column is the status. 'hi' is 'held, installed' [07:57] Ah check. [07:57] Aquablue1704: you can always install it later [07:57] from the apt log, it seems to have problem with the KDE packages, Samba, and a number of other packages. [07:58] @lord: I honestly don't know. Any way I could check that? The only thing it shows me is the message above and it tells me that changes are needed and that it's going to remove that package. [07:58] Aquablue1704: You could see if apt wants to remove it too. "sudo apt-get install vlc" for example. [07:59] FlameReaper-PC: the thing is, you said your 13.10 was up to date [07:59] instead, it seems really out of date [07:59] Hmm [07:59] do you have something pinned? [07:59] I'll try reenabling updates with packages only from official channels === calin is now known as crucerucalin [08:00] valorie: last I checked, apt-get returns 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [08:01] @lord Terminal output tells me that vlc is missing some needed dependencies and that "xserver-xorg-video-all" depends on "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" but it won't/can't or shouldn't be installed. [08:02] I can copy and paste the terminal info but it's in German. [08:02] Aquablue1704: Didn't you say it was a fresh install? [08:03] `apt-cache policy` will list all the repos priorities, yes. [08:04] @lord: Yea, I installed Kubuntu yesterday and so far I haven't been able to install anything else (for the reasons mentioned above). [08:06] Aquablue1704: Because I get the feeling it's broken :( can I see the apt output? [08:07] @lord: I just tried sudo apt-get install gimp and the terminal output is almost identical to the info I get when trying to install VLC: Missing dependencies and the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau info. [08:07] @lord: Sure, how can I show you the apt output?

I'm still a bit new to IRC and Kubuntu. :) [08:13] it's fine, we all started as beginners [08:13] some of us still are [08:13] :-) [08:14] Kk, so what's the command you want me to copy and paste into the terminal? [08:14] I know exactly how it feels, I'm a beginner with Gentoo. Most things I don't understand yet/ [08:16] Aquablue1704: sudo apt-get install vlc [08:16] @lord & valorie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7282137/ [08:17] Aquablue1704: Try what apt suggests: sudo apt-get install -f [08:18] it's not scary when apt tells you too [08:19] Kk, I did as suggested and this is what it tells me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7282149/ [08:19] It wants to download and install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.

[08:20] i think it switched workspaces or something, but i had a bunch of windows open [08:20] and now they're all gone from the taskbar [08:21] so i think im in another desktop or workspace or something [08:21] but none of the hotkeys for switching spaces are working for me [08:21] shadowbroker, try ctrl+alt+ arrow keys [08:21] i have no idea where all of my stuff went O.o [08:21] tried that [08:21] nothing happens. i checked the settings and there is only 1 desktop [08:22] @lord: Installation went fine -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7282162/ <- I'll try to install something via Muon now. [08:22] im on 14.04, if that matters [08:22] you probably pressed Win+Tab, try Win+Shift+Tab to go back to the previous activity [08:22] i've confirmed through ps aux that my applications are still running [08:22] tsimpson: tried that too :( [08:23] Ha! It worked! It actually worked! I can install apps like usual via Muon once again. [08:23] tsimpson: OH! [08:23] im not sure if the shortcut is broken [08:23] but i found the activity tab [08:23] Aquablue1704: Good to hear :) [08:23] and there are multiple there [08:23] one of which is called "Desktop" [08:23] the other is called "New Activity" [08:24] Thx a bunch lord and val for the support you guys gave me. I really appreciate it. [08:24] i have no idea what i hit to create the new one, but win+shift+tab does *not* work [08:24] right, those are standard, shadowbroker [08:24] the shortcuts dont work though? [08:24] Aquablue1704: good to hear you are underway again [08:24] the meta key obviously did.... [08:25] apparently i managed to create two new activities without realizing it... and switching to one of them :/ [08:25] you can see the standard key combos in systemsettings [08:25] but i cant seem to toggle between them [08:25] Kk guys, I have to go buy some meat. It's egg hunting weekend here in Germany. I'll be back in about one hour. Thx again for all the help! [08:25] and some of those you can turn off or change [08:26] Right, apparently there's one TINY package that stopped from updating, I should've suspected that earlier when I've seen recommendations to look for errors in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log [08:26] valorie: which section? i cant seem to find it [08:27] It's update-manager-kde.., wait, does the command line UI of the do-release-upgrade show what packages it's going to remove? [08:27] up top, common appearance [08:27] then shortcuts and gestures [08:28] FlameReaper-PC: at some point it will, yes [08:28] ok [08:28] but removing 132 packages is a lot [08:28] hm. i dont see anything on all three lists pertaining to activities.... [08:29] aaaah found it [08:29] global -> select component [08:29] apparently i hit meta + Q [08:29] while typing XP [08:30] well thanks for the help. i was about to freak out :P gotta sleep now that that is all taken care of [08:32] !pm | Aquablue1704 [08:32] Aquablue1704: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.
