Py331I just installed kubuntu from USB and I'm getting a kernel panic not syncing. no init. Any ideas? I've googled but haven't found anything that helped. I just did a normal install.03:35

rmf304So I have Kubuntu 10.10 and an Android phone, when I set the phone to USB tether for my internet Kubuntu shows it as USB0 networking device, but I still have no connection to the internet03:38
rmf304Can anyone help?03:38
valoriePy331: did you verify the usb write?03:38
valorie10.10!03:39
valorienot sure that is still supported....03:39
valorie!eol03:39
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades03:39
valorieyes, that's been out of support for two years, rmf30403:40
rmf304That leads me to my next question, do you think if I were to download 14.10 I'd have better success?03:40
rmf304Would it recognize the androind phone like it should?03:40
valorieI wouldn't go that far -- 14.10 is only in beta03:40
valorie14.04 is stable, and LTS03:41
rmf304So that would be my best bet then?03:41
valorieeasy enough to burn an ISO to a thumbdrive and see how it runs03:41
valorieif it's too new, 12.04 is also LTS03:42
rmf304I figured 10.10 would recognize an android phone and work without any issue. Ah well. Never opposed to upgrading. :D03:42
valoriethat's really old03:43
valorie14.10 and KDE Connect work really well with my android phone03:43
rmf304Well, at some point it worked fine. Because, it loaded the google page without issue. After that it just stopped.03:44
rmf304So I'm wondering actually if I did something in the connection settings that messed it up03:44
valoriewell, you can always move that config file03:45
valoriemost of them are in ~/.kde/share/apps03:45
rmf304Also, I was told to try easy tether for Android. to do so you have to copy a file from the phone to the box in question and install the package. It's a .deb package, and keeps getting an error as not recognized. Any suggestioins there?03:46
rmf304*suggestions03:46
valoriewe don't have anything like that packaged that I know of03:47
valorie!deb03:48
ubottudeb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.03:48
rmf304Ohh!03:48
rmf304I think I used the wrong installer utility then03:48
rmf304Im fairly new to Linux that's not setting up an IRCd lol03:49

valoriehow can we help ya?04:45
turborooI heard I can resize my partition with a live boot04:45
turboroois this easy?04:45
valorie!partition04:45
ubottuFor help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes l - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap04:45
turborooI have one at the beginning of the drive I want to merge with my linux partition04:45
turboroothank you valorie04:46
valoriesome might call it easy, I do not04:46
valoriebut it is possible to do with the live CD, yes04:47
turboroook so i have a /, a boot, a swap, what else do i need?04:47
turborooi am imagining that is going to work. I am just flying by the seam of my pants but it seemed to work for me I am running kubuntu and windows 7 in a virtualbox04:48
turborooCan someone tell me your opinion on virtualbox vs VMware on directx support for lite gaming?04:50
turborooplease?04:52
turboroo*boot, swap, and / or root04:53
turboroodoes anyone run VMware?04:53
tekkbuzzturboroo: try asking on #vbox04:55
valorie!virtual04:59
ubottuThere are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications04:59

AcuteQuick question, why would a Kubuntu install CD ask for a password?06:19
TheFakeazneD525It shouldn't06:20
TheFakeazneD525Acute: did you download kubuntu from the site06:20
AcuteYes06:20
hateballAcute: At what point does it ask for a password?06:21
Acutei put it in, it gives the loading screen with the little keyboard = guy thing at the bottom06:21
Acutethen shows what appears to be a login screen06:21
Acutei downloaded kubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso06:22

MichaelPis 64 bit going to run any better then 32 bit on 3 gig of ram ?15:14
Graf_WesterholtMichaelP, no, it even could be more slowly.15:16
MichaelPGraf_Westerholt: ok thanks.. just wondered....so then stick with 32 bit until i upgrade ram ?15:18
Graf_WesterholtMichaelP, I would do so.15:18
Graf_WesterholtMichaelP, but more RAM usually means a faster system. ;)15:19
Graf_WesterholtToday 4 GB RAM is not that expensive.15:19
MichaelPOk got a Dell inspiron 1525 laptop yesterday for $10015:19
Graf_Westerholtah15:19
Graf_WesterholtAnd the Laptop has 3 GB RAM?15:20
MichaelPThats what system resorces says15:21
* Graf_Westerholt has a RAM-Stick with 8 MB here. :D15:24
MichaelPJust need get a new fan for it... It wants to rattle off and on15:24
Graf_Westerholt:D15:24
Graf_WesterholtI can give you 8 MB of RAM, MichaelP ;)15:25
MichaelPmy old hp had 8 gig in it15:25
BluesKajrecommend 64 bit since most apps are now written for 6415:25
Graf_Westerholtok, BluesKaj, did not know that.15:25
Graf_WesterholtI have also 128 MB RAM stick. :D15:26
MichaelPhow much for the ram15:26
Graf_WesterholtLOL15:26
BluesKajGraf_Westerholt, there are still a few like google earth etc that are still 32 bit, but not many15:26
Graf_WesterholtBluesKaj, I am running Google Earth on 64 Bit. ;)15:27
lordievaderBluesKaj: That depends on the compiler. Source code doesn't (really) care for architecture.15:27
BluesKajyes 32 runs fine on 64 bit systems just can't access more than 4G ram15:27
BluesKajlordievader, ppl  go with 64bit because of the increased address space15:29
* Graf_Westerholt would upgrade to 4 GB RAM (or more) to solve this problem. ;)15:30
lordievaderBluesKaj: I know, but saying that something is written for 64 bit is in most cases not true. Only very few programs actually make use of the 64 bit length.15:30
BluesKajlordievader, well, more knowlegable users than have always recommended 64bit if I have such HW and I will continue to recommend it because of future15:35
BluesKajthe future , that is15:37
rbergto add to the confusion some processors support PAE which allows up to 64G of ram on 32bit15:43

ChristophKHey, thought someone might help me out, for whatever reason I can't login with one of my users anymore19:52
ChristophKI get the error message "could not start ksmserver, check your installation"19:52
ChristophKAnyone has an idea what could cause it? already moved my .kde directory to have a fresh start, but didn't help19:53
BluesKajChristophK, nvidia gpu ?20:05
ChristophKNvidia optimus, but already switched in bios to intel20:11
ChristophKdidn't help though20:13
OkitainChristophK: do other DEs start?20:14
ChristophKI have two users, so I can log in with one user but not with my other one (my main user)20:15
ChristophKstarting with startx works, but is not fully functional then20:15
ChristophKso, though it must be a configuration issue somehow related to that user20:16
Okitainwell, you can try installing, say, XFCE, and starting it20:16
Okitainit may be privilege issues for all i know20:16
ChristophKso you'd think I could not log into XFCE either?20:17
OkitainYou can try.20:17
OkitainIf a problem doesn't go away with a clean .kde, then anything is possible.20:17
Okitainalso, searching for logs would not hurt.20:17
Okitain(/var/log/Xorg.0.log, .xsession-errors and /var/log/kdm.log)20:19
ChristophKjust read through /usr/bin/starkde and see where the error is thrown, but don't really check whats going on in that check20:19
ChristophKwill check the logs20:19
lordievaderInstead of the kdm log, look in the lightdm log ;)20:22
TheFakeazneD525^20:22
TheFakeazneD525LightDM is default on *buntu20:23
BluesKajChristophK, what about bumblebee, have you looked into that ?20:23
Okitainthanks lordievader!20:23
ChristophKnothing obvious in the logs20:24
ChristophKhave had bumblebee installed, not anymore. wouldn't think its related to bumblebee when its working for one user20:25
lordievaderChristophK: Try renaming your ~/.kde dir and see if the problem persists.20:26
