=== td is now known as Guest87349 [02:07] gumby: perhaps try #kontact [02:07] this seems like a kmail/kontact issue, not a Kubuntu one === kubuntu is now known as Guest75364 [02:52] Hi, Is there any reason I shouldn't use Kubuntu for development on my laptop? [02:53] Cormagh: Not that I'm aware of. [02:54] thanks [02:55] You're welcome [02:58] amingv: I'll b back [02:59] Cormagh: ok [03:49] I have a problem, I can not find way to set a static ip address in kubuntu 14.04 === Bigcheese_ is now known as Bigcheese [03:55] modern: I found this, but it's old: pdg86.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/howto-setup-dhcpstatic-ip-in-kubuntu/ [03:57] valorie,: thanks [03:58] best of luck; notice the date [03:58] seems odd that there is no longer a gui to do this. [03:59] there may be a way, but I don't know it [04:01] modern: Not really. A consumer desktop is normally fine with DHCP. I have a dynamically assigned static IP; I configured the DHCP server on my router to give my MAC address a static IP. I used to do it via the /etc/network/interfaces file but that doesn't survive a fresh install. [04:01] My desktop machine is always 192.168.1.100, assigned by DHCP. [04:01] I use the desktop distro and add some services so i need static ip [04:02] If I change my motherboard, so the system network interface has a different MAC address, I'll just need to update the DHCP configuration on the router. [04:03] I have several machines dhcp off my router [04:03] modern: That's no problem whatsoever. [04:04] And if you never do a re-install, setting your network settings for a static IP address via /etc/network/interfaces works just fine. [04:04] thats what I just did but I don't see anywhere to set nmeserver [04:05] The nameserver is set in /etc/resolv.conf. The syntax is "nameserver ". [04:05] thanks again everyone [04:06] I saw that but it says that it will be overwritten next boot [04:06] Right. [04:06] As I implied, you're trying to swim against the current. :-) Go with the flow, do it via your router's DHCP server. [04:08] NetworkManager is rather bossy. :-) You will have it its way! [04:09] thanks, DarthFrog [04:10] valorie: You're welcome, lass. :-) [04:10] Hello [04:10] Hide the cheese, maninder's here!

[04:17] But don't use CUPS directly. Access it via System Settings/Printers. [04:18] how to intall it. actually i am new to linux [04:19] If you've installed Kubuntu, it's already installed. [04:19] ok [04:19] Explore the menu system. [04:21] and what to find [04:21] ? [04:21] i already opened the Add a New Printer Wizard [04:22] maninder: as I recall, you have to share the printer from windows first [04:22] Then you're where you want to be. What comes next, I've not explored for adding a shared Windows printer. [04:22] then find & select it from kubuntu [04:22] its already on the network [04:22] cool [04:23] here is the option i have is Windows Printer via SAMBA but it is not allwing to Browse [04:23] Browse button is not active [04:30] valorie: what next ?

[10:19] soee: yes. But i believe the problem spreads to every application that depends on libpng15. It's just i'm using only one of those.

In my case it is just not responding. [15:51] where is the trusty kubuntu alternate cd? [15:52] during install, I go to manual partitioning [15:52] set up a /boot [15:52] then setup the rest for encrypted partition [15:52] but it crashes with a screen tittled [15:52] "Keyfile creation failure" [15:53] An error occured while creating the keyfile [15:53] if I let it go the guided crypto on LVM way it installs successfully [15:53] but then I have the useless overhead of an LVM that I don't want? [15:53] I've installed 12.04 this way with the alternate CD in the past [15:54] any ideas? [15:58] why do you wanna have an encrypted / ? [15:58] in case someone steals the laptop? === calin is now known as crucerucalin [16:09] So... I can't unlock my screen in Kubuntu 14.04. It always says "Unlock failed". I've tracked this down to a missing /etc/pam.d/kdm, I think [16:09] Not sure what to use for /etc/pam.d/kdm [16:10] i'm assuming you might want to remove that file? [16:10] 14.04 uses lightdm now instead of kdm [16:10] see if there is an /etc/pam.d/lightdm ? [16:10] kcheckpass is looking for that file [16:10] it doesn't exist [16:11] there is a lightdm [16:11] so it probably shouldn't be looking for it? [16:11] I symlinked to it, but that failed for a different reason [16:12] when I symlinked to lightdm, it failed due to: pam_succeed_if(kdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "jspeter" [16:14] I suspect that has something to do with the content of /etc/pam.d/lightdm, so the /etc/pam.d/kdm file needs to be different [16:14] hmm no idea, I've only upgraded one machine to 14.04 from 12.04 and I haven't locked my screen yet? :/ [16:15] The almoust the same problem with mine kubuntu [16:15] if you do lock your screen, watch out for kcheckpass [16:15] it sounds like kcheckpass or whatever needs updated? maybe file a bug [16:15] After out from standby mode I can't do anything [16:15] NDN: is your screen locked? [16:15] seems so [16:16] I mean, is there a password prompt asking you to type it it? [16:16] Yes there are password field [16:16] this site recommends some content for /etc/pam.d/kdm: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/kde-workspace.html [16:17] maybe I'll try that [16:17] can you type in the pwd field? [16:17] But there are no any cursor in it, I can't input anything into it [16:17] anything that depends on kdm isn't going to work anymore though since it doesn't exist [16:18] I think kcheckpass is just requesting a service from pam using "kdm" as a token [16:18] : what this does mean ? [16:18] I understand there is no kdm anymore, but someone neglected to tell kcheckpass [16:19] and so long as it is only an identifier, I think I can work around it by making an /etc/pam.d/kdm [16:19] Do you think that issue with quiting suspend mode is related to miss of kdm ? [16:20] NDN: if you can't type, it may be that your keyboard didn't recover suspend [16:20] NDN: try ctrl-alt-F1 and then ctrl-alt-F7 ? [16:20] jspeter: what to do in this case? [16:20] jspeter: Nope. This won't help [16:21] jspeter: I tried [16:21] NDN: no response when you do that? [16:21] jspeter: exactly [16:21] jspeter: after i did that the system hangs at all [16:22] after ctrl-alt-F1 it hangs? [16:22] is this a laptop or a desktop? do you have a spare USB keyboard? [16:22] jspeter: I thought the system should go into console mode. But it didn't [16:22] laptop [16:22] can you disconnect/reconnect the keyboard? [16:23] it is integrated [16:23] right... but if you have a USB kbd somehwere, could you plug it in? [16:23] I haven;t [16:23] NDN: I just mean that 14.04 uses lightdm instead of kdm, so kdm doesn't exist anymore [16:24] moparisthebest: thanks. [16:24] k. The only other recourse I know of is the low-level sysrq stuff [16:24] jspeter: how could i use that stuff ? [16:25] jspeter: I will try check 32 bit kubuntu. [16:25] for instance Alt-SysRq-E, Alt-SysRq-U, Alt-SysRq-I, and Alt-SysRq-B, in that order. It won't let you log in, but it should reboot your system [16:25] if it doesn't reboot your system, all I can recommend is long-press the power button to force it off. [16:26] If it does reboot your system, at least your keyboard was being seen at some level of the kernel [16:26] jspeter: I haven't sysrq key within the keyboard. Could it be prt sc button? [16:26] where to go from there, I do not know [16:26] yes, same one [16:26] jspeter: I did so ) - just use one button that I could use ) [16:26] (used to be, there was enough space for both words on that button) [16:26] jspeter: ok, thank you [16:27] did it reboot? [16:27] jspeter: No. It shut down. [16:27] oh, that too. So at least your kernel wasn't locked and the apps were shut down cleanly [16:27] jspeter: I think si [16:28] jspeter: *so [16:28] not sure where you can go from here. [16:28] Im trying to use Konqueror web browser since it is very fast, but the KHTML doesn't render some pages like other browser, how to change to webkit ? [16:28] you could check the logs, but that won't reveal much [16:28] jspeter: If the kernel is locked then system should reboot after shut down key long pressed? [16:29] alket: use firefox or install chromium if you must [16:29] alket: use Chrome [16:29] if you long-press power button, laptop will shut down regardless of O/S and kernel state [16:29] it's embedded in the HW behavior [16:29] jspeter: I knew it ) [16:29] eh, chrome is non-free, who knows what google puts in there [16:29] moparisthebest NDN: but it supports other engines but I dont know how to install them [16:29] chromium is free though, without google extras [16:30] oh didn't know that alket [16:30] is it possible to configure this kdesudo thing, so that it remembers the password for some time ?

This means I have to wait a long time for programs to start, and UI gets unresponsive from time to time. what can I do? [19:44] r-1: is there anything you can see in the syslog? [19:45] chachan do you mean /var/log/syslog or dmesg? [19:47] r-1: I would check both... [19:47] Arghhh I can't figure out why my system keeps locking up since the upgrade to 14.04 (not to mention how it loses sense of time and sporadically speeds things up every second reboot). [19:50] Hello everyone. I have a thinkpad t61 with intel gma video card that has afresh install of 14.04. Every time I suspend it, when it comes back, it's unresponive for a while, and won't let me unlock the screen. Eventually it gives up and takes me to the login screen, but I can't log in successfully again until I reboot the laptop. Any ideas? [19:52] any hints what I can search for? [19:52] @chachan [19:52] r-1: nope :/ [20:02] I've found some error messages, but they are not repeating, but the lag is repeating [20:03] chachan [20:03] is that happening with any particular application or is it the entire system lagging? [20:04] the whole system. [20:04] r-1: ^ [20:04] r-1: mm [20:09] r-1: have you tried to reboot, login and not opening any app? and see if the performance is still low [20:09] chachan ok wait will try that [20:10] r-1: also, do you see any overload from any process in the system activity thing? [20:10] press Ctrl + F1 to open it and sort the list by CPU% [20:11] also check your free ram and check if the swap space is being used [20:18] chachan RAM at 9% no swap CPU also very low. [20:18] r-1: and still having performance issue? [20:18] yes [20:19] r-1: that's shitty. I would suggest to check if there's a bug created for this (in case, follow it), if not then try creating it. Sorry for not giving you a better response [20:20] chachan hmm thats bad. where to create? [20:22] r-1: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BugSquad [20:23] chachan thanks [20:23] r-1: forget that [20:23] r-1: use this https://bugs.launchpad.net [20:23] hhiii [20:23] just make sure set kubuntu as project [20:24] is there a chance that they respond? [20:29] chachan: ^ [20:31] r-1: of course, that's the way they know something out there is wrong :) Just be patience :( [20:31] r-1: that won't be fast [20:31] chachan is there a tool to track hdd active processes? The hdd led is always on... [20:32] ... like htop ...

[20:37] was: how? [20:39] ah ok RBYTES WBYTES [20:39] r-1: F2 for setup, hit arrow down to 'Columns' , then arrow right twice to "Available Columns" then select "IO_RATE" [20:43] there is baloo_file_extractor [20:43] it seems to be an indexing tool [20:43] hah! of course it is [20:44] rberg_ do you know that this tool was introduced or enabled in 14.04? [20:44] I think it was introduced in the lastest kde as somthign to do with nepomuk [20:45] its all very nice when it works [20:46] hm it might be that it now has to create an index [20:47] .5 TB is not indexed this fast... [20:47] ok its more .3 TB [20:47] Depends on what comprises that .3 TB ;) [20:49] I don't think baloo lags on media like video but I have a copy of mozilla-central (firefox source code) and thats ... huge [20:49] that could be it.. lots of tiny text files [20:52] rberg_ chachan I'm not the first with these problems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217434 [20:56] r-1: let me know if that works [20:56] I've excluded the directories with lots of files... [20:58] killall to some baloo affiliated processes ... [20:59] ... and starting a disk-heavy java application [21:00] yeah I think it became faster [21:00] at least the HDD led isn't on all time [21:01] I have only had problems with baloo 1 time.. and that is because I was on battery.. otherwise I leave it alone [21:04] I don't search this often over my whole home directory... I try to have a structured file system [21:10] rberg_ do you use search? [21:11] not really, but I am starting to see what good about it.. I tend to hit alt-f2 to start new programs and see emails and contacts in there.. its pretty nice [21:12] does this integration work with thunderbird? [21:14] not sure, I have been using kmail.. thats pretty nice if you dont download all mail for offline use.. otherwise the db gets huge === vmuser is now known as vmusr [21:17] there was some reason I discarded kmail but I can't remember... [21:58] TWIITER > CristianJTB === esuba is now known as Guest44117 [23:51] Good morningggg [23:51] anypne online?
