[01:03] <dolomite> hi everyone
[02:57] <ironhoof> I am trying to isntall off the live CD, the usb keyboard seems to work in grub, but soon as the desktop loads it no longer works
[02:57] <ironhoof> mouse or keyboard devices
[03:23] <ironhoof> Hmm, what could make the usb stop working after the desktop loads?
[03:25] <TheFakeazneD525> possibly a broken driver
[03:25] <TheFakeazneD525> or maybe just some random bug
[03:25] <TheFakeazneD525> remove all the plugs, and put them back in
[03:26] <ironhoof> Yea 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 keyboard
[03:28] <TheFakeazneD525> odd
[03:28] <TheFakeazneD525> is this wireless hardware or wired
[03:28] <ironhoof> wired
[03:28] <ironhoof> The person im installing it forhas windows works in there too, and the uefi
[03:36] <ironhoof> Ah, his sound card isnt working either, might be conflicting, he may need to check a few things. Ahright thanks anyway its just one of those things.
[07:05] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:22] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:08] <daum> hi all - what's the easiest way to downgrade chromium?
[12:08] <daum> 37'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 36
[12:09] <lordievader> daum: Uninstall it and install an earlier version. There is no way to actually track down what causes the 'weird' fonts?
[12:10] <lordievader> daum: Chromium 37 on Gentoo is fine. Haven't really noticed anything different about the fonts.
[12:10] <daum> i haven't been able to track down exact cause: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-bugs/bAnkMBFu5mE
[12:11] <daum> is closest to what i can find...its hard to describe as they aren't fuzzy persay...they just aren't rendered as nicely
[12:13] <lordievader> daum: What font settings do you use?
[12:14] <daum> lordievader, http://i.imgur.com/SmD0BKu.png
[12:14] <daum> am happy to switch those around but if you look that font looks really weird even in that screenshot, like not crisp right?
[12:15] <lordievader> I use "Century Schoolbook L" here without problems.
[12:16] <daum> for all of them or which ones
[12:17] <lordievader> daum: All, except fixed-with that is set to monospace.
[12:20] <daum> hmm
[12:20] <daum> well 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 hurts
[12:37] <daum> lordievader, is there a way to run a standalone 36 next to my 37 to see if the fonts are as bad?
[12:42] <lordievader> daum: No idea, you could download the package, extract it and see.
[12:50] <daum> hmm
[12:52] <ALS-IT-NET-PC> Hallo, here.....
[12:53] <lordievader> o/
[12:54] <daum> lordievader, hmm is there a "proper" way to downgrade chrome for the timebeing?
[12:55] <lordievader> daum: I allready told you how to do that. Remove the package, download an earlier version and install that.
[13:05] <daum> lordievader, 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 ha
[13:06] <daum> ah darn, found the spot it stores them but doesn't have the 36 deb in it
[13:06] <lordievader> daum: Launchpad.
[13:07] <lordievader> daum: https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser
[13:07] <nukecrasher53> hey everyone
[13:07] <nukecrasher53> how i can put compiz to be compatible with KDE?
[13:07] <lordievader> daum: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/36.0.1985.125-0ubuntu1.14.04.0~pkg1029
[13:08] <nukecrasher53> when i launch 'compiz --replace' the window borders are gone
[13:08] <lordievader> nukecrasher53: We have Kwin, no need for Compiz.
[13:09] <BluesKaj> nukecrasher53, why do you need compiz, kwin should do what you want , check system settings>desktop effects
[13:09] <nukecrasher53> so is it possible to replace KWin with compiz? is it possible?
[13:10] <BluesKaj> nukecrasher53, have you actually checked system settings>desktop effects first:
[13:10] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:43] <elmer__> Hi, i'd like to talk to the real wizard. Could anyone help me?
[13:47] <BluesKaj> elmer__, just ask your question
[13:47] <ikonia> is that a user ?
[13:48] <elmer__> She is an experinced magician...i guess!
[13:49] <ikonia> ok, so thats nothing to do with this channel
[13:49] <elmer__> i can find her maybe in sec channel.
[14:08] <elmer_> do u have any idea about Daniel J. Bernstein's deamontools package? (e.g. manual, or stg like)
[14:10] <lordievader> elmer_: If you mean that Windows thing, you are asking the wrong channel. This is Kubuntu support.
[14:12] <BluesKaj> probly doesn't know what kubuntu is :)
[14:15] <elmer_> man smdb (-F)
[14:15] <elmer_> *smbd
[14:15] <BluesKaj> ??
[14:18] <elmer_> SMB/CIFS services manual = man smbd
[14:19] <BluesKaj> and ?
[14:19] <lordievader> elmer_: Do you have a Kubuntu support question?
[14:54] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[14:55] <cousin_luigi> How do I launch systemsettings for root? xdg-su is not there.
[14:55] <lordievader> cousin_luigi: kdesudo systemsettings?
[14:56] <cousin_luigi> lordievader: doesn't work either
[14:57] <vipacrt> qualche ita che possa aiutarmi con il boot di windows 8.1
[14:57] <lordievader> cousin_luigi: As in the command doesn't exist?

[22:18] <zxq9> Hrm. 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?
[22:20] <Tj__> Bout to download an image. Need advise. 32 or 64 Bit. It's going on 64Bit capable Hardware?
[22:21] <tsimpson> grab the  64bit version then
[22:21] <valorie> either will work, tj
[22:21] <zxq9> Tj__: 64 should also permit multi-lib, meaning you should be able to run both with 64, but only 32 if you do 32b
[22:21] <Tj__> Thank Will go with 64:)
[22:22] <zxq9> (Which can be annoying if you work on certain projects...)
[22:22] <valorie> for the above reasons, I always go 64 as well
[22:29] <Tj__> Does the 1gig iso burn to usb as well if unetbootin is used
[22:30] <zxq9> Tj__: Not sure -- I've always done local image or network installations.
[22:31] <zxq9> Someone around here probably knows, though. That sort of stuff is probably somewhere in the install docs, too.
[22:32] <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 around
[23:19] <dolomite> hi, 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?
[23:20] <valorie> dolomite: try running `top` or `htop` in the konsole and see?
[23:20] <dolomite> nothing out of the ordinary
[23:21] <dolomite> is there a way to monitor data transfer to HDD?
[23:21] <dolomite> I never observed this issue prior to 14.04
[23:21] <tsimpson> I use iotop to see what's doing I/O
[23:22] <dolomite> perfect
[23:22] <dolomite> I think that's what I needed. I will run it next time
[23:27] <cjwelborn> Quiet 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 some
[23:27] <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] <TheFakeazneD525> cjwelborn: sudo apt-get install muon -y
[23:27] <TheFakeazneD525> muon is a better version of synaptic made for KDE
[23:28] <TheFakeazneD525> and, doesn't lock up dpkg every time it's run
[23:28] <dolomite> "better"
[23:28] <dolomite> :)
[23:28] <valorie> synaptic isn't being actively developed, unless something has changed recently
[23:28] <valorie> muon IS being actively developed
[23:28] <dolomite> it's gotten quite a bit better no doubt
[23:29] <cjwelborn> TheFakeazneD525: 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] <valorie> muon package, not muon discover, which is more like ubuntu software center
[23:30] <TheFakeazneD525> so valorie, SystemD confirmed for 15.04 or just a rumour
[23:30] <cjwelborn> Oh 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] <TheFakeazneD525> cjwelborn: :P
[23:30] <TheFakeazneD525> the naming is a tiny bit confusing...
[23:30] <valorie> oh, Mark Shuttleworth announced adoption, so it is not a rumor
[23:30] <valorie> timing, I don't recall
[23:32] <TheFakeazneD525> hmm, because someone who claims to work with Canonical on ubuntu touch, or something like that, said it was probably going to show up by V
[23:33] <TheFakeazneD525> hyperair was his nick
[23:33] <valorie> http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316
[23:34] <TheFakeazneD525> PID EINS! :D
[23:34] <valorie> so he leaves timing up to the Technical Board
[23:35] <valorie> TheFakeazneD525: probably the techboard mail list is the best place to follow that discussion
[23:37] <TheFakeazneD525> ah ok
[23:37] <TheFakeazneD525> thanks!
