hyper_chhi there, I have a weird issue: when I attach an external usb 3 drive to a usb 3 port it doesn't show up anymore. It used to work just fine. However when I attach it to a usb 2 port it works05:12
buriedalivehyper_ch, maybe bug, your os?05:21
hyper_chburiedalive: after switching a few times between usb 2 and 3 ports it started working05:21
hyper_chthx though05:21
hyper_chfor making a hot copy of the 512gb ssd I just prefer usb 3 :)05:21
buriedaliveI'm in 12.04 lts, workin' all around05:21
buriedalivehm05:21
buriedaliveyour os precise?05:22
hyper_chme?05:23
buriedaliveyea05:23
hyper_ch14.0405:23
buriedalivemm05:23
buriedalivemy is 12.0405:23
hyper_cha  little while back a guy in #linux-raid told me he runs in his notebook in raid1 mode with single disk usually... and for makng a hotcopy he expands it to 2 disks and syncs it :) so I do the same now05:23
hyper_chon usb 3 the hotcopy of the ssd to usb 3 takes just about 2h (instead of like 20h with usb2)05:24
buriedaliveI dont know this problem yet05:26
hyper_chthx anyway05:26

wafflejocklordievader: was liking KDE but decided to start using Thunderbird so feel like I'm pulling more and more out of it now08:40
wafflejocknot a huge deal to me since I tend to customize them all to be fairly similar in the end anyhow, but liking the gnome Activities thingy and having nothing there otherwise, I overcluttered my KDE08:41

David1965is there a patch for the kernel for Linux what will fix the problem with system units running the m2n68-la (Narra3) motherboards which causes the hard-drive light to stay on when it should just flicker14:54
=== brian is now known as Guest46897
David1965who ever has been asking which version of Kubuntu to install if your machine is old running a Pentium then i386 is the way to go if you have a new system then it is better to install the 64bit version15:12
David1965where are the distro builders hanging out15:13
David1965and anyway who ever wrote the kernel didn't realise that some system units have m2n68-la (Narra3) motherboards installed15:14
David1965and it is the reason I ditched Microsoft Windows XP Pro for Linux15:16
David1965cryptodan_android you there my friend15:27
MichaelPis going to be any difference in using project neon install or using kubuntu install adding project neon repo ?16:11
BluesKajMichaelP, there' no difference16:14
BluesKajyou have to install kubuntu then install kde with project neon ppas afterwards16:16
BluesKajor projection versions of kde packages16:17
MichaelPBluesKaj: alright thanks... Ran plasma5 for awhile on 14.10.... Thenwent back to arch... only place they have plasma5 desktop is in aur and some of it don't want to build...16:17
BluesKajerr project neon versions rather16:17
BluesKajaur is for arch, don't fool with that16:18
MichaelPi know... and suse.. the desktop ends up going black with plasma 5...16:19
BluesKajI tried plasma5, but it's too broken for normal use and the look is awful16:20
MichaelPonly problem i have so far is glx gets shaky so have to use egl16:22
MichaelPnow i like the look of plasma 5... alot cleaner16:23
BluesKajwell, it's a matter of taste as always , but the icons look too much like symbols to me ...guess I'm a bit old fashioned16:24
MichaelPI think is what kde should do.. is build a version of kde with plasma5 default16:24
MichaelPYeah.. but look at when kde4 1st released.. It was broken and look where it is now..16:26
BluesKajrumour is that it's being discussed as default in 15.1016:26
BluesKajstill a lotta work needed16:26
MichaelPI mean kde needs to build it around kde.. like insted of kde 4.x.x ... build kde 5.0 with plasma 516:27
BluesKajyes, that's what I mean, kf5 isn't kde5 altho a lot of users think so16:29
MichaelPkf5 in just kde framework 516:30
BluesKajyup16:32
MichaelPframework 5 is just what.. the gui on top of kde 4 ?16:33
BluesKajI'm sticking with the default due to the breakage I had trying plasma5 twice...learned my lesson16:33
MichaelPWhat kind of breakage you have16:34
=== thiago_ is now known as Guest54939
MichaelPonlything bad i notice is glx gets shaky so use egl... and flash in youtube is a little slow16:36
BluesKajkrunner wouldn't launch and kate was totally MIA, and dolphin was slow and ponderous16:38
MichaelPohh ok...16:39
BluesKajon this laptop...din't try it on my 2008 vintage HP dual core 3G Ram desktop16:40
BluesKajon 14.10 btw16:40
MichaelPReboot into installed system... now and see what have.... I running an old x86 32 but 3.2 ghz 1500 mb ram... 512 mb on video card... I might go back to 14.10... Add the same themes i had in arch... breeze and the breeze icons... making kde 4.13 look like plasma 516:42
MichaelPso far seems pretty good16:50
BluesKajwell, have fun, I'm not trying 5 until it's a bit more stable16:52
soee_BluesKaj: hehe, it works fine though some features are missing16:52
soee_but next week plasma 5.1 shuld be released16:53
soee_so lets have faith16:53
MichaelPIt's not as fast as normar default16:55
BluesKajheh 14.10 still runs better than 14.04.1 on the desktop pc...hate to see what happens when 14.04 tries to rub kf5/plasma5 and qt516:56
BluesKajrub=run16:57
MichaelPIf ppa would do a plasma 5 build for 14.0416:57
MichaelPneon the only build for 14.0416:58
BluesKajneon isn't my cuppa tea16:58
merankullhHello. I've installed Kubuntu 14 and erased my Windows from my old main hard drive. I forgot to erase my drivers before i installed kubuntu and format my SSD.17:13
merankullhMy gpu is now overheating and i can't find a way to erase old windows supported drivers from my hd 687017:14
merankullhI also can't install new drivers because it says that i am lacking something that's required for installation of linux drivers. Can anyone help me at this issue?17:15
BluesKajmerankullh, if erased windows then your windows drivers are gone too17:15
merankullhOkay but why is my GPU is overheated? Ever since i opened up the installation menu, my GPU fan started to go crazy17:15
merankullhIt's currently working at around %40 and heat is 60 this is not normal.17:16

MrSmithHello, i made a mistake. I tried to install a game with wine... The game starts in a small window, i close the game and the window was very small... i use the setting window to change the size of the display and press ok. now the display ist black and i can't change something. give it a way to reset the display configuration?18:10
lordievadermaggux: Log out and back in.18:24
lordievaderovrflw0x: Run init-checkconf over it, that will tell you if there are errors with the upstart script.18:26
