| RBX129K | Hi, I recently accidentally overrode my Windows with Kubuntu. I've heard a lot of people were saved by a program called "testdisk." Could anybody tell me where to download the correct version of testdisk, and how to use it? | 00:47 |

| r_rios | Hello. Sometimes I see some unfinished rendering of stuff in Plasma 5 like this: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/07/19/unfinished_rednering.png | 02:01 |
| r_rios | I recall this didn't happen when I tried it on openSUSE. Maybe it's a mesa bug or something? | 02:14 |
| r_rios | Anyway, is anyone experiencing the same problems? | 02:14 |

| zopsi | Has anyone seen behavior like this with audio http://i.imgur.com/1n4cTQP.gif | 05:29 |
| function9 | zopsi: which version of kubuntu/kde are you using? | 05:30 |
| zopsi | function9: Kubuntu 14.0.4 x64 Desktop and KDE4 I think. I have not changed anything except an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 05:34 |
| zopsi | function9: the audio also fluctuates like that as well. It works fine in Windows. I'm using the built in mobo audio chip. | 05:35 |
| G__81 | hi i am using kubuntu 14.04 64 bit. The problem that i face with Kubuntu is with the touchpad. Its so sensitive that i am unable to type and the focus goes away. I have XUbuntu 14.04 also installed in the same laptop but i don't face the issue there. Is it something with regard to settings in KDE that i need to change? | 05:46 |
| function9 | zopsi: you could try the kubuntu forums, see if anyone else has the same issue or found a fix for it https://www.kubuntuforums.net/content.php?s=2f3263f2c441488b0c40567cf51c9982 | 05:49 |
| function9 | G__81: System Settings/ Input Devices/ Touchpad | 05:49 |
| function9 | bbl | 05:49 |
| G__81 | function9, in fact i tried the kubuntu forums but i couldnt find any clue for it. I am using a Dell Inspiron 15r laptop. | 05:51 |

| yossarianuk | hi - is anyone aware if you can load an installed OS in RAM like you can with the livecd - i.e https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM | 09:29 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: you can install into ram - but it will die when you reboot so pretty much "no" | 09:43 |
| ikonia | certainly not realistically with kubuntu | 09:44 |
| yossarianuk | ok cheers | 09:44 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: keep in mind the livecd is basically an OS running in ram only | 09:44 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: swapping out the file system as required | 09:44 |
| yossarianuk | its a shame that you can't do that and say sync differeneces with HDD on shutdown. | 09:44 |
| yossarianuk | Its only because I have had a RAM upgrade im enquiring... | 09:45 |
| ikonia | thats basically running from disk | 09:45 |
| function9 | yossarianuk: if you want something instantaneous, get the most powerful, Intel cpu in the market, with 16 gigs of ram, 4 gig vid card, and SSD hard drive. you'll be breazing it through | 09:46 |
| ikonia | that is just rubbish advice | 09:47 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: ignore that | 09:47 |
| yossarianuk | function9: I have an i5 16GB 1GB CPU - its fine - was really just trying to see if you could somehow just run the OS installed from ram# | 09:50 |
| yossarianuk | I used to run the Amiga OS (workbench 1.3) from RAM in the late 80's - that was faster than nearly all desktops nows. | 09:51 |
| lordievader | yossarianuk: Be glad the linux kernel does disk caching so that your 16Gb ram in not wasted. | 09:52 |
| yossarianuk | but that didnt really change - no internet at the time (for me) - no updates. | 09:52 |
| function9 | yosafbridge: OS on ram have been around for years now. The cpu plays a big part. Especially when you are copying or pasting. | 09:52 |
| yossarianuk | lordievader: I am glad | 09:52 |
| function9 | yossarianuk: It's your system, get a faster system and you'll see the difference | 09:56 |
| ikonia | function9: stop talking nonsense | 09:57 |
| ikonia | this is your only warning | 09:57 |
| yossarianuk | function9: I know that faster systems = faster speeds generally | 09:58 |
| yossarianuk | i'm not saying my system is slow - its not | 09:58 |
| yossarianuk | 14.04 also seems faster than previous versions - unsure if its the kernel / kde version , etc | 09:59 |
| function9 | yossarianuk: we'll end it to that, you know how it is :) | 09:59 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: you may get millage from changing the ammount of buffers used and the swapiness factor in the kernel | 09:59 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: as your system is well specificed already you may get some better response from actually forcing the use of it for foreground / desktop response | 10:00 |
| yossarianuk | cfq seems better also than deadline. | 10:00 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:03 |
| === cups is now known as doge | ||
| alvin | yossarianuk: That depends on your workload. On an SSD, deadline is generally the better choice. (On a laptop, there's also the battery to consider). I believe Kubuntu defaults to deadline now? | 10:44 |
| alvin | yossarianuk: You can put parts of your system in ram. I do that with the Firefox cache. No trouble so far. | 10:44 |

| zopsi | Ok let's give this another go. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? http://i.imgur.com/1n4cTQP.gif | 19:03 |
| zopsi | I think it has to do with some secondary audio device trying to become primary and back and forth. | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | zopsi, check your system settings>multimedia>device preference | 19:15 |
| zopsi | BluesKaj: No effect. | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | what's no effect, what did you do? | 19:21 |
| zopsi | I didn't do anything. You said to check device preferences. There's only two devices and the one I want is at the top (most preferred). I still hear the popping and see the mixer volume moving up and down rapidly. | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | did you choose the analog as default by moving it to the top then highlighting and clicking the test button? | 19:22 |
| zopsi | Yes BluesKaj | 19:23 |
| zopsi | sound plays fine, but it flickers and pops with the involunatary movement of the volume | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, that's a new one, never seen that before | 19:24 |
| zopsi | BluesKaj: it isn't the hardware as it works fine in Windows and other distributions | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | zopsi, does your hdmi output work if chosen? | 19:26 |
| zopsi | I don't use the hdmi as it is a mini-hdmi from my Nvidia Graphics Card and my monitor is DVI-D | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | zopsi, I think there are mini hdmi to dvi cables available if you need one. I use a dvi to regular hdmi connector from my htpc to the tv | 19:29 |
| zopsi | BluesKaj: Yes, but I don't have an audio device for that. I have external speakers. | 19:30 |
| zopsi | BluesKaj: Plus my monitor is 1440p | 19:30 |
| zopsi | I'd rather fix my audio issue as it is software related. | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | well, it's merely cosmetic, dunno what could be causing such odd behaviour | 19:33 |

| zopsi | Ok I fixed it by uninstalling everything pulseaudio | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | zopsi, if your audio is intel-hda then alsa will link to webaudio/flashaudio without a problem, if not then pulseaudio will be required, that's been my experience | 19:47 |
| zopsi | my audio is intel-hda apparently | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | zopsi, cool | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | this laptop is as well, unfortunately my m-audio card on the htpc suffers from non alsa linkage on webaudio, so I need pulse there | 19:49 |

| Specialist | is there a way to disable the baloo file indexer in 14.04? it is crash-looping on each startup. the various tricks from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1295323 do not seem to work (except for the fake package, which i would only consider as a last resort to to possible side-effects) | 22:03 |
