| pedahzur | That was fun. Upgraded to KDE 4.13. Log in. Notes pops up, says it wants to migrate my notes. I say go for it. But now notes says I have no notes. Grr. | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| pedahzur | Also, how does one restart kdm these days? There is no /etc/init.d/kdm file any more. | 00:40 |
| pedahzur | Thankfully I still have ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics But it would be nice if the migration had actually worked. | 00:43 |
| Chaser | pedahzur: isn't it lightdm ? | 00:44 |
| pedahzur | Chaser: Maybe? There is not /etc/init.d/lightdm either. | 00:44 |
| pedahzur | *no | 00:44 |
| rvdv | I have done a new installation of Kubuntu and here there is a /etc/init.d/lightdm | 00:47 |
| Chaser | me too, have lighttd init file. Standard kubuntu 14.04. | 00:47 |

| lordievader | Good morning. | 06:40 |
| Luke_T | hey could anyone help with a pretty big problem i'm having? | 06:41 |
| valorie | Luke_T: what problem? | 06:42 |
| Luke_T | I've been trying to uninstall kubuntu but i can't get it to work at all. I initially installed it with pendrivelinux and since i did that, I haven't been able to use pendrivelinux again for a different operating system | 06:43 |
| Luke_T | i'm trying to put OSX back on | 06:43 |
| Luke_T | oh yeah I should probably mentiion its a macbook | 06:44 |
| lordievader | Luke-T: Shouldn't the OSX installer take care of that? | 06:46 |
| valorie | uninstall? | 06:47 |
| valorie | You can just wipe that part of the disk | 06:48 |
| Luke_T | sorry for being a noob but how would i do that? | 06:48 |
| valorie | I don't know anything about installing OSx, sorry | 06:49 |
| Luke_T | i mean how would i wipe it? everything i've tried hasnt worked so far | 06:50 |
| lordievader | Open a partition editor and remove the kubuntu partitions. | 06:50 |
| valorie | on your 'pendrivelinux' you could put a disk repair ISO | 06:50 |
| lordievader | Also people don't like it when you crosspost. | 06:50 |
| valorie | or if it's just one or two partitions, rather than the whole disk, what lordievader said | 06:51 |
| valorie | !partition | 06:51 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes l - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 06:51 |
| Luke_T | thanks for the help i'll try that, also sorry for cross posting it was just annoying me :P | 06:51 |
| F-3000 | Heya there! I got this fancy problem, that I got boot sector (MBR) on wrong place. It should be on internal HD (sda), but it went to USB-stick (sdb) during install - a and b were opposite than normally and I forgot that in one point. Kubuntu itself works good, it just doesnt boot if that USB-stick isnt in place. Could someone hint me about how to move/reinstall only the MBR? Using GRUB, as default on Kubuntu (14.04). I installed thru mini | 07:16 |
| F-3000 | Suprisingly a lot multilive-USB gives headaches. :D | 07:17 |
| valorie | F-3000: this happens suprisingly often | 07:20 |
| valorie | !grub | 07:20 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 07:20 |
| valorie | you'll want grub2 | 07:20 |
| valorie | and the restoregrub has good stuff too | 07:21 |
| lordievader | F-3000: Just install grub to sda again. | 07:32 |
| F-3000 | valorie and lordievader: thanks. Mere sudo grub-install /dev/sda did the trick. :) Now I need to figure out how to restore grub for the multiliveusb. :P | 08:02 |
| lordievader | F-3000: Boot into it and run "sudo update-grub2"? | 08:03 |
| valorie | multi-liveUSBs are sort of unreliable, IMO | 08:03 |
| F-3000 | valorie: It has worked quite well for me. Only problem is, that I cant access the start-menus of the ISOs. | 08:04 |
| F-3000 | valorie: And I have to keep in mind that sda and sdb might swap, so that I don't have to go thru this again. :P | 08:07 |
| F-3000 | valorie: Well, maybe one "problem" is, that I cannot choose guided partitioning, as mostly innerHD is not available as an option, only the multiliveusb, which I find extremely odd. | 08:09 |
| valorie | I found the multiUSB to be useful to show off various ISOs | 08:10 |
| valorie | but not reliable for installing | 08:10 |
| F-3000 | How it's unreliable for installing? | 08:11 |
| valorie | that's been my experience | 08:11 |
| F-3000 | What difficulties you've faced? | 08:11 |
| F-3000 | valorie: Just out of curiosity. Maybe I can learn something. | 08:13 |
| valorie | the same as you -- misplaced grub | 08:14 |
| F-3000 | valorie: Heh, usually grub goes into proper place. This time, a & b were swapped, and I forgot to change sda to sdb when minimal-install asked for grub location. | 08:16 |
| valorie | OK | 08:16 |
| === anton___ is now known as Guest83669 | ||
| nick87720z | hello. I just got kde 4.13 from kubuntu backport ppa. Made full reboot just for kdm restart (was a bit lazy to do it manually). Now akonadi doesn't work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7378246/ | 08:33 |
| F-3000 | Some hints how to start figuring out why wlan isn't working? I've installed restricted drivers that Kubuntu suggested (thru Driver Manager), yet still nothing. Wlan cannot be enabled thru network manager. | 08:46 |
| lordievader | F-3000: Is the correct driver loaded? (lspci -k|grep Network) | 08:47 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: Will check, once system has booted. Thought of booting with acpi=off option, but forgot to add it (removed splash and quiet). | 08:49 |
| lordievader | F-3000: It's better to leave acpi on, especially on a laptop. | 08:51 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: It works oddly. Not as snappy as much slower desktop, cannot shutdown/reboot (have to do 5sec powerbutton down to shut down after "will now halt"). | 08:52 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: Not sure if correct driver is in use. "Kernel driver in use: wl" | 08:58 |
| lordievader | Broadcom device? Should be right, does it show up in iwconfig? | 08:59 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: Ay, broadcom, BCM4311. | 08:59 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions." on both eth0 and lo. | 09:00 |
| lordievader | Hmm, yesterday was someone with the same chip and problem. | 09:01 |
| lordievader | You may try the opensource driver. | 09:02 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: From Driver Manager, right? | 09:05 |
| lordievader | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 09:05 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: Alright, thanks. I'll fool around with that page's info. :) | 09:08 |
| F-3000 | lordievader: Driver Manager anyways shows only driver options for NVIDIA. I've selected recommended already. Luckily there was howto available how to do it thru terminal, as nouveau crashed if tried to actually do something. | 09:09 |
| === spinx is now known as spinx^ | ||
| F-3000 | lordievader: Tried acpi=off, looks like it was a bad idea with actual installed system. With liveusb it worked better. | 09:33 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 09:54 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Hey there. :) | 10:15 |
| BluesKaj | hi F-3000 | 10:15 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Got Kubuntu running good, booting working properly, wlan connects. Now I only need to figure out how to fix laptop's unwillingness to shut down. :P | 10:17 |
| F-3000 | *shutdown properly | 10:17 |
| === rdieter_laptop is now known as rdieter | ||
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Eh, it did just that. Disabling wl driver had such effect? Is that possible?? | 10:18 |
| BluesKaj | wierd | 10:19 |
| BluesKaj | if it won't shit down run , init 0 | 10:22 |
| F-3000 | Doh! How to make driver b43 (for broadcom) to start automatically? Currently it requires doing modprobe. | 10:22 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I hope it wont shit down. :D | 10:23 |
| BluesKaj | hehe | 10:23 |
| === polcode is now known as arek_at_work | ||
| F-3000 | Oh, I need to remove "blacklist b43" from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf ? | 10:26 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, makes sense | 10:26 |
| F-3000 | This is odd. After blacklisting wl, laptop definitely seems to work better. | 10:27 |
| F-3000 | No more background distortion behind dialog when selecting "Leave", instead just black. | 10:28 |
| F-3000 | Laptop actually shuts down, instead of freezing after showing "system going to halt" (or something alike, cant remember exact anymore?) | 10:29 |
| F-3000 | After I installed firmware-b43-installer and rebooted, something got tainted during boot. Cant remember anymore what it was, didnt fully understand what happened. Doesnt happen anymore. | 10:31 |
| BluesKaj | keep up with the updates and upgrades and all should be well | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | F-3000: fwiw try linux-firmware-nonfree | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | that might work | 10:33 |
| F-3000 | shadeslayer: Driver Manager suggested that, I installed it. | 10:33 |
| doctorpepper_ | can anyome tell me which package contains plasmoidviewer | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | F-3000: and it worked? | 10:33 |
| F-3000 | shadeslayer: I didn't see any difference, nor I know why it was suggested, to be honest. | 10:34 |
| fulton | Anyone had a problem upgrading from 12.04.4 to 14.04 where at some point KDM would restart and drop into a shell? | 10:34 |
| shadeslayer | F-3000: Broadcom usually has many issues :/ | 10:35 |
| shadeslayer | sometimes it works, many times it doesn't | 10:35 |
| F-3000 | shadeslayer: This one works good with b43. | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | fulton, lightdm is now the default for 14.04 | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, could be dnsmasq bug ..I had it earlier , alt+F2 , kdesudo kate /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf , comment the line dns=dnsmasq, with a # in front | 10:37 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: What's that? | 10:37 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I know dns, but masq... I think I've read about it, but cant remember. | 10:38 |
| fulton | that was *during* the upgrade, not after; didn't return to desktop so I don't know what happened to the upgrade procedure | 10:38 |
| BluesKaj | dns may be buggy | 10:38 |
| BluesKaj | masq rather | 10:38 |
| BluesKaj | !dnsmasq | 10:38 |
| BluesKaj | !info dnsmasq | 10:39 |
| ubottu | dnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.68-1 (trusty), package size 14 kB, installed size 111 kB | 10:39 |
| BluesKaj | fulton, has the install fifnshed successfully ? | 10:40 |
| BluesKaj | finished* | 10:40 |
| fulton | don't know, it dropped me back into the shell; there was a dpkg running and a python <defunct> | 10:41 |
| fulton | can I trigger something from the command line? | 10:41 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Funny thing. Not utterly useless, I'd suppose. | 10:42 |
| fulton | or just reboot? | 10:42 |
| BluesKaj | fulton, if you're in a shell try installing lightdm | 10:43 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, I have the bcm 4313 chip and had a similar problem with wifi | 10:44 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: My only problem currently is, that b43 doesnt start without manual modprobe. | 10:48 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, try running sudo dhclient wlan0 instead of modprobe | 10:49 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Response: Cannot find device "wlan0" | 10:50 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: There's no blacklist rule for b43, yet it still doesn't get loaded at startup. | 10:51 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, run iwlist scan and look for wlanX | 10:51 |
| BluesKaj | X being a different number than 0 | 10:52 |
| F-3000 | wlan0 exists after modprobe b43 | 10:52 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 10:52 |
| F-3000 | Any suggestions how to get b43 loading at startup? | 10:56 |
| F-3000 | Do I need to make a script to do modprobe? :P | 10:57 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, have you seen this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/305079/how-do-i-get-the-right-wireless-modules-to-load-at-startup-for-a-bcm4322 | 10:59 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Now I have. If b43 is supposed to be in /etc/modules, that's the reason why it wasnt working. | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | did that tut help then ? | 11:03 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Testing it right now. | 11:03 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: It e | 11:05 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: It helped with starting the driver, although now wlan didnt autoconnect. | 11:06 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: And I noticed that Network Manager's menu goes below bottom panel. | 11:06 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, http://linuxg.net/how-to-fix-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-driver-on-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/ | 11:07 |
| BluesKaj | scroll down to "To make it work automatically," | 11:08 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: wlan autoconnected when I did manual modprobe. | 11:08 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: But I'll take a look at the page. :) | 11:09 |
| BluesKaj | autoconnected is not the correct choice of words there, you shouldn't have to modprobe to autoconnect | 11:09 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I know that modprobe shouldnt be needed for wifi autoconnection. I find it odd that autoconnection didnt occur. Maybe it's because secrets are local (user), and wlan was started before user had logged in, it failed? | 11:12 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I'll reboot and confirm that autoconnect fails, then I'll see what happens when I change connection settings to allow any user to connect with them. | 11:12 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Now it worked. :D This is both hilarious and frustrating. :P | 11:14 |
| BluesKaj | so it was user permissions | 11:15 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I didnt get that far. | 11:15 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I didn't change anything, just rebooted. | 11:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 11:15 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Now I'm doing yet another reboot without any changes. | 11:15 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Again, it worked. I dont know what made it fail at the first time. | 11:17 |
| BluesKaj | if you ran those commands in the tut then the autoconnect is turned on at startuo | 11:18 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I'll try delayed login now (not logging in asap). | 11:19 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: I didn't run any of the commands from tut. | 11:19 |
| F-3000 | I added b43 to modules with nano. | 11:19 |
| BluesKaj | ok, basiclly the same effect | 11:19 |
| F-3000 | Ay. | 11:20 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Delay had no effect, still connection. At least its tested that autoconnecting works now, hah. | 11:20 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Should I remove default driver, though? | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | F-3000, if it works now , don't "fix" it | 11:21 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Alright. :D I thought same. ;) | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | the default driver wasn't loading afaik | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | you just needed it to add it to /etc/modules | 11:23 |
| BluesKaj | err needed to | 11:23 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: If wl was default, it's off thru blacklist. | 11:26 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: And yes, got b43 to work by adding it to /etc/modules. Funny that [...]-installer didn't do something already. | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | bcm wifi can be troublesome , but most bcm probs are solvable IME | 11:28 |
| F-3000 | BluesKaj: Alright, I think the laptop's running good for now. Huge thanks for your assistance! :) | 11:57 |
