[00:25] <mikeru> hey my backlight stopped working like 5 days ago and I don't remember doing anything to it
[00:25] <mikeru> well actually the backlight works and I can control it via /sys/class/backlight but KDE is not detecting it anymore
[00:32] <penguin42> sounds like you should submit a bug but I'm not sure what against - perhaps plasma
[00:34] <mikeru> I'm not sure either
[00:34] <mikeru> I don't know if it is a KDE bug
[00:34] <mikeru> or xrandr
[00:35] <mikeru> from looking around the net I should see a backlight property on xrandr --props but I don't
[00:35] <penguin42> I'm not sure what to test it with on xrandr, but if /sys/class/backlight works I'm guessing it's not the kernel
[00:36] <mikeru> def not the kernel
[00:36] <mikeru> tho I'm not sure what's not working
[00:37] <mikeru> going to ask on #kde how to debug its backlight support
[00:38] <penguin42> yeh
[03:14] <snadge> the latest catalyst doesnt work on utopic ?
[03:15] <snadge> i know this isn't the place to discuss that.. but, maybe someone knows why.. just using the provided ones for now
[03:20] <snadge> usually someone posts on a blog about it.. nothing for fglrx 14.301.1001 and utopic
[08:19] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:05] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[16:12] <murlidhar> how do i upgrade now ?
[16:13] <BluesKaj> murlidhar, which release are you using?
[16:13] <murlidhar> 14.04
[16:16] <murlidhar> don't remember but something like update -d is to be done i think
[16:17] <blocky> if i want a fresh 14.10 install should i use a snapshot iso or a stable one and upgrade
[16:17] <BluesKaj> murlidhar , first upgrade 14.04, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , then to upgrade to 14.10, sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[16:18] <murlidhar> okies ty BluesKaj :)
[16:19] <BluesKaj> blocky, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[16:55] <blocky> is unetbootin still the preferred way to make a bootable usb drive?
[17:26] <penguin42> blocky: Apparently not for uefi
[17:26] <blocky> penguin42: don't think i have uefi
[19:51] <markus__> hey guys, i am currently on Ubuntu 14.10 with LXDE, i have plugged in a second monitor, everything works just fine except one thing. The second monitor seems to be the primary one, all notifications are popping up there, including the shutdown menu. I there a way to get the notifications and stuff pop up at the first monitor?
[19:54] <bubbasaures> markus__, What did you initially install LXDE has no 14.10
[19:56] <markus__> I installed lxde from the ubuntu software center, or to be correctly i installed Xubuntu 14.10 and installed lxde after that via the software center
[19:56] <bubbasaures> look in displays of the initial for a mirror button, LXDE I wouldimagine it is a config,might be displays there as well.
[19:58] <bubbasaures> markus__, Your aware this is a development and is not a LTS?
[19:59] <markus__> yes i know, but i runs quiet good and i am pretty sure that it isnt a "Ubuntu 14.10" problem.
[20:33] <lordievader> Good evening.
[23:47] <winternight> Hihi... quick question. When I close my laptop lid, my computer goes to sleep setting either "lock screen" or "turn off display" in the XFCE power manager. I am using an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Am I missing a setting, or is there something I can change to stop this behavior?
[23:47] <winternight> Ideally, I'd like it to do *nothing* when the lid is closed and the computer is on AC.
