[00:47] 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? === ben__ is now known as ben3 [02:01] Hello. Sometimes I see some unfinished rendering of stuff in Plasma 5 like this: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/07/19/unfinished_rednering.png [02:14] I recall this didn't happen when I tried it on openSUSE. Maybe it's a mesa bug or something? [02:14] Anyway, is anyone experiencing the same problems? === apb is now known as Guest7743 === Guest7743 is now known as apb1963 === notzopsi is now known as zopsi === zopsi is now known as notzopsi === notzopsi is now known as zopsi === kubuntu is now known as ginalex [05:29] Has anyone seen behavior like this with audio http://i.imgur.com/1n4cTQP.gif [05:30] zopsi: which version of kubuntu/kde are you using? [05:34] function9: Kubuntu 14.0.4 x64 Desktop and KDE4 I think. I have not changed anything except an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [05:35] function9: the audio also fluctuates like that as well. It works fine in Windows. I'm using the built in mobo audio chip. [05:46] 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? [05:49] 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] G__81: System Settings/ Input Devices/ Touchpad [05:49] bbl [05:51] function9, in fact i tried the kubuntu forums but i couldnt find any clue for it.

[07:36] Doing okay. === zopsi is now known as notzopsi [08:35] !info tlp [08:35] Package tlp does not exist in trusty [09:06] anyone alive in here === morgan is now known as yossarianuk [09:29] 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 [09:43] yossarianuk: you can install into ram - but it will die when you reboot so pretty much "no" [09:44] certainly not realistically with kubuntu [09:44] ok cheers [09:44] yossarianuk: keep in mind the livecd is basically an OS running in ram only [09:44] yossarianuk: swapping out the file system as required [09:44] its a shame that you can't do that and say sync differeneces with HDD on shutdown. [09:45] Its only because I have had a RAM upgrade im enquiring... [09:45] thats basically running from disk [09:46] 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 [09:47] that is just rubbish advice [09:47] yossarianuk: ignore that [09:50] 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# [09:51] 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. [09:52] yossarianuk: Be glad the linux kernel does disk caching so that your 16Gb ram in not wasted. [09:52] but that didnt really change - no internet at the time (for me) - no updates. [09:52] 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] lordievader: I am glad [09:56] yossarianuk: It's your system, get a faster system and you'll see the difference [09:57] function9: stop talking nonsense [09:57] this is your only warning [09:58] function9: I know that faster systems = faster speeds generally [09:58] i'm not saying my system is slow - its not [09:59] 14.04 also seems faster than previous versions - unsure if its the kernel / kde version , etc [09:59] yossarianuk: we'll end it to that, you know how it is :) [09:59] yossarianuk: you may get millage from changing the ammount of buffers used and the swapiness factor in the kernel [10:00] 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] cfq seems better also than deadline. [10:03] Hiyas all === cups is now known as doge [10:44] 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] yossarianuk: You can put parts of your system in ram. I do that with the Firefox cache. No trouble so far. === elsa is now known as Guest48377 [11:24] alvin: THANKS [12:53] (sorry for caps) [13:10] === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [14:37] test [14:37] bonjour [14:38] quelqu'un peut m'aider svp?

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? http://i.imgur.com/1n4cTQP.gif [19:04] I think it has to do with some secondary audio device trying to become primary and back and forth. [19:15] zopsi, check your system settings>multimedia>device preference [19:20] BluesKaj: No effect. [19:21] what's no effect, what did you do? [19:21] 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. [19:22] did you choose the analog as default by moving it to the top then highlighting and clicking the test button? [19:23] Yes BluesKaj [19:23] sound plays fine, but it flickers and pops with the involunatary movement of the volume [19:24] hmm, that's a new one, never seen that before [19:25] BluesKaj: it isn't the hardware as it works fine in Windows and other distributions [19:26] zopsi, does your hdmi output work if chosen? [19:27] I don't use the hdmi as it is a mini-hdmi from my Nvidia Graphics Card and my monitor is DVI-D [19:29] 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 [19:30] BluesKaj: Yes, but I don't have an audio device for that. I have external speakers. [19:30] BluesKaj: Plus my monitor is 1440p [19:30] I'd rather fix my audio issue as it is software related. [19:33] well, it's merely cosmetic, dunno what could be causing such odd behaviour === zopsi is now known as notzopsi === notzopsi is now known as zopsi === zopsi is now known as notzopsi === notzopsi is now known as zopsi [19:41] Ok I fixed it by uninstalling everything pulseaudio [19:47] 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] my audio is intel-hda apparently [19:48] zopsi, cool [19:49] 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 === mathieu_ is now known as somekool === fenris is now known as Guest67808 === Guest67808 is now known as ejat [22:03] 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] Ubuntu bug 1295323 in baloo (Ubuntu) "Can't stop/remove baloo" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:07] Specialist: please join #kde-baloo and report your problem there [22:07] the developers are very responsive and eager to get baloo working excellently for everyone [22:08] valorie: thanks, i'll give it a try. i already reported an upstream bug 10 days ago - no response...
