TheFakeazneD525possibly a broken driver03:25
TheFakeazneD525or maybe just some random bug03:25
TheFakeazneD525remove all the plugs, and put them back in03:25
ironhoofYea tried that, nothing plugged into usb 3 either, it works in grub just fine, but when the actual X system loads its gone. and cant really check it either because of no keyboard03:26

daumhi all - what's the easiest way to downgrade chromium?12:08
daum37's fonts are really weird for me and there doesn't seem to be a great way to fix it so was hoping to downgrade to 3612:08
lordievaderdaum: Uninstall it and install an earlier version. There is no way to actually track down what causes the 'weird' fonts?12:09
lordievaderdaum: Chromium 37 on Gentoo is fine. Haven't really noticed anything different about the fonts.12:10
daumi haven't been able to track down exact cause: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-bugs/bAnkMBFu5mE12:10
daumis closest to what i can find...its hard to describe as they aren't fuzzy persay...they just aren't rendered as nicely12:11
lordievaderdaum: What font settings do you use?12:13
daumlordievader, http://i.imgur.com/SmD0BKu.png12:14
daumam happy to switch those around but if you look that font looks really weird even in that screenshot, like not crisp right?12:14
lordievaderI use "Century Schoolbook L" here without problems.12:15
daumfor all of them or which ones12:16
lordievaderdaum: All, except fixed-with that is set to monospace.12:17
daumhmm12:20
daumwell i'll try it, its of course hard to tell..i thought something was off yesterday after upgrading, but couldn't really tell until after 30-45 min and my eyes hurts12:20
daumlordievader, is there a way to run a standalone 36 next to my 37 to see if the fonts are as bad?12:37
lordievaderdaum: No idea, you could download the package, extract it and see.12:42
daumhmm12:50
ALS-IT-NET-PCHallo, here.....12:52
lordievadero/12:53
daumlordievader, hmm is there a "proper" way to downgrade chrome for the timebeing?12:54
lordievaderdaum: I allready told you how to do that. Remove the package, download an earlier version and install that.12:55
daumlordievader, sorry failing miserably, where do i find the old versions accordint to apt-cache policy only 34 is the other option....and i can't find where it downloads the files when it installs them ha13:05
daumah darn, found the spot it stores them but doesn't have the 36 deb in it13:06
lordievaderdaum: Launchpad.13:06

nukecrasher53hey everyone13:07
nukecrasher53how i can put compiz to be compatible with KDE?13:07
lordievaderdaum: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/36.0.1985.125-0ubuntu1.14.04.0~pkg102913:07
nukecrasher53when i launch 'compiz --replace' the window borders are gone13:08
lordievadernukecrasher53: We have Kwin, no need for Compiz.13:08
BluesKajnukecrasher53, why do you need compiz, kwin should do what you want , check system settings>desktop effects13:09
nukecrasher53so is it possible to replace KWin with compiz? is it possible?13:09
BluesKajnukecrasher53, have you actually checked system settings>desktop effects first:13:10

zxq9Hrm. When I let a website dictate its own font I get missing glyph symbols (or wrong glyphs), but when I force the font set things display correctly. This is only on Ubuntu, though. Any ideas?22:18
Tj__Bout to download an image. Need advise. 32 or 64 Bit. It's going on 64Bit capable Hardware?22:20
tsimpsongrab the  64bit version then22:21
valorieeither will work, tj22:21
zxq9Tj__: 64 should also permit multi-lib, meaning you should be able to run both with 64, but only 32 if you do 32b22:21
Tj__Thank Will go with 64:)22:21
zxq9(Which can be annoying if you work on certain projects...)22:22
valoriefor the above reasons, I always go 64 as well22:22
Tj__Does the 1gig iso burn to usb as well if unetbootin is used22:29
zxq9Tj__: Not sure -- I've always done local image or network installations.22:30
zxq9Someone around here probably knows, though. That sort of stuff is probably somewhere in the install docs, too.22:31
Tj__Also is there a wifi card driver in the install iso for an intel 7260ac wifi card? if not I will have to work around22:32
dolomitehi, every time I boot up the machine on 14.04 my HDD is being accessed non-stop (according to the HDD light on the front) for the first ~15 minutes. This causes some very slow computing during this time. Is there some indexing or other process I'm not aware of?23:19
valoriedolomite: try running `top` or `htop` in the konsole and see?23:20
dolomitenothing out of the ordinary23:20
dolomiteis there a way to monitor data transfer to HDD?23:21
dolomiteI never observed this issue prior to 14.0423:21
tsimpsonI use iotop to see what's doing I/O23:21
dolomiteperfect23:22
dolomiteI think that's what I needed. I will run it next time23:22
cjwelbornQuiet here, so let me tell you about something stupid I did. For months I wondered why Synaptic looked so ugly. Never investigated it, just lived with it. I even thought about tweaking the code to make it look better, but never did anything. Investigated yesterday. It's GTK themed! My desktop and windows are themed and highly customized. So why is Synaptic stuck in the 90's? Well, like I said.. MY desktop is themed. Not root's. :) Copied some23:27
cjwelborn files over, ran systemsettings as root, and there you go. Lived with it for months thinking that the Synaptic developers were doing something wrong. It took 2 minutes to fix. Always investigate.23:27
TheFakeazneD525cjwelborn: sudo apt-get install muon -y23:27
TheFakeazneD525muon is a better version of synaptic made for KDE23:27
TheFakeazneD525and, doesn't lock up dpkg every time it's run23:28
dolomite"better"23:28
dolomite:)23:28
valoriesynaptic isn't being actively developed, unless something has changed recently23:28
valoriemuon IS being actively developed23:28
dolomiteit's gotten quite a bit better no doubt23:28
cjwelbornTheFakeazneD525: Thanks, I do know about muon. I actually don't like it very much. I use it sometimes because it's kinda integrated with KDE, but it hides a little bit of information that Synaptic doesn't. Maybe there's just a setting I don't know about.23:29
valoriemuon package, not muon discover, which is more like ubuntu software center23:29
TheFakeazneD525so valorie, SystemD confirmed for 15.04 or just a rumour23:30
cjwelbornOh i see. KDE was running Muon discover. That's what I don't like. Looking at Muon Package Manager, it actually looks ok.23:30
TheFakeazneD525cjwelborn: :P23:30
TheFakeazneD525the naming is a tiny bit confusing...23:30
valorieoh, Mark Shuttleworth announced adoption, so it is not a rumor23:30
valorietiming, I don't recall23:30
TheFakeazneD525hmm, because someone who claims to work with Canonical on ubuntu touch, or something like that, said it was probably going to show up by V23:32
TheFakeazneD525hyperair was his nick23:33
valoriehttp://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/131623:33
TheFakeazneD525PID EINS! :D23:34
valorieso he leaves timing up to the Technical Board23:34
valorieTheFakeazneD525: probably the techboard mail list is the best place to follow that discussion23:35
TheFakeazneD525ah ok23:37
TheFakeazneD525thanks!23:37
