[00:04] <jussi> sysop2: you potentially have a higher possibility of an answer on that in #qt or #kde :)
[03:23] <nikke_> Hi. I'm new Ubuntu/Kubuntu user. Just first year begind and I never Install Windows again. Why Kubundu? I have old mini-laptop.
[03:25] <nikke_> And the question was is there program to record my screen to .gif -format?
[03:26] <nikke_> I star to use Google..
[03:26] <nikke_> ....now
[03:28] <travnewmatic> thats a good question i'm not really sure
[03:28] <travnewmatic> i know theres a way to take like screen caps like prnt-screen
[03:28] <travnewmatic> from windows
[03:28] <travnewmatic> but as far as recording i imagine there is something
[03:28] <TheFakeazneD525> ffmpeg
[03:29] <TheFakeazneD525> alias screencast='ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0+0,0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -preset veryfast -ar 48000 -qscale 1 -r 30'
[03:29] <TheFakeazneD525> what i use
[03:31] <nikke> thanks. i try out this ffmpeg. Is it "command-line program?
[03:31] <nikke> Konsole
[06:31] <MattQC> Hello
[06:34] <Aporie_> Hello, what the right way to restart "notworking service" in 14.04 LTS ?? Can't do anything with "sudo service stop" and "/etc/init.d/netw... stop". Anyone have an idea ?
[06:36] <rww> sudo service NetworkManager restart, I think. don't have an Ubuntu box in front of me right now
[06:37] <MattQC> I need some help with Kmix.
[06:37] <MattQC> I am trying to map a new shortcut key, for the famous ThinkPad mic mute problem.
[06:42] <lordievader> Good morning.
[06:46] <Aporie_> rww, it's not really on a kubuntu distro but on an ubuntu server ... NetworkManager is not installed
[06:51] <lordievader> Aporie_: Err, isn't #ubuntu-server a better channel for question regarding Ubuntu Server?
[06:51] <Aporie_> lordievader
[06:51] <Aporie_> yes it is
[07:16] <jasoncollege24> in kubuntu 14.04 is there a way to check the file system, and/or OS files for corruption, and repair any issues?
[07:17] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: fsck ;)
[07:18] <jasoncollege24> lordievader: every time i try that I get messages stating that the devices are mounted, and that e2fsck cannot continue, then it simply aborts back to the command line
[07:19] <hateball> jasoncollege24: you cant (shouldnt) do it on mounted filesystems
[07:19] <hateball> jasoncollege24: "sudo touch /forcefsck" will force a check on next reboot
[07:20] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: As hateball says you cannot check a mounted volume. An altenative is booting a live environment and checking from there.
[07:20] <jasoncollege24> hateball: trying your advice now
[07:21] <jasoncollege24> problem is that in the last several startups, and updates, several crashes have taken place. things like plasma, some audio recorder type thing, and kded4
[07:21] <jasoncollege24> sometimes all I get is a black screen with my mouse
[07:24] <jasoncollege24> speaking of... just had another crash during the check... "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt"
[07:24] <jasoncollege24> next line says returning to text console
[07:24] <lordievader> Kernel panics aren't nice, they point to hardware failure. If you think it is your HDD do a SMART test.
[07:26] <hateball> Yeah, kernel panics are rare enough to be taken seriously
[07:26] <jasoncollege24> i'm guessing that's essentially the linux version of a BSOD? lol
[07:26] <hateball> jasoncollege24: Yes
[07:27] <jasoncollege24> ok. i may know the cause
[07:27] <jasoncollege24> thanks
[07:27] <hateball> jasoncollege24: If you have access to the install media you can liveboot and check the HDD and such
[07:28] <jasoncollege24> i just added a videocard. if that card is pulling more power than the PSU is able to give, would that cause the kernel panic?
[07:28] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: Theoretical possibility.
[07:29] <jasoncollege24> lordievader: gotta love theories. lol
[07:32] <hateball> well, unplug it and test. seems simple :p
[07:32] <jasoncollege24> hateball: I hope it's that simple
[07:37] <libreSSL> WHAT IN THE NAME OF WHAT
[07:37] <valorie> ?
[07:37] <libreSSL> So, my desktop was lagging, so I tried opening up the sysguard in KRunner
[07:38] <libreSSL> and it said for "lightdm"
[07:38] <valorie> cool, ain't it?
[07:38] <valorie> hmmm
[07:38] <libreSSL> %500+ CPU usage
[07:38] <valorie> !
[07:38] <libreSSL> I'm assuming thats not normal
[07:38] <valorie> pretty much
[07:38] <valorie> we're moving to SDDM instead, when we can get it to work.....
[07:39] <libreSSL> well not lightdm
[07:39] <libreSSL> but under that tree
[07:39] <libreSSL> I think it was chrome
[07:39] <libreSSL> because there was a window that said "unresponsive pages"
[07:39] <libreSSL> or something >.>
[07:40] <libreSSL> valorie: any logs I should look at?
[07:41] <lordievader> libreSSL: xsession-errors?
[07:42] <libreSSL> Script for none started at run_im. Script for auto started at run_im. Script for default started at run_im.
[07:45] <lordievader> A thousand and one line of the same within the second?
[07:45] <libreSSL> ?
[07:45] <libreSSL> wait, I think I know the cause...
[07:46] <libreSSL> I think it was a JS script that was incrementing a number more and more
[07:46] <libreSSL> or something >.>
[07:46] <lordievader> I take that your last message came from there, if that line is spammed in there with a very great speed you got something on your hands ;)
[07:48] <libreSSL> ach
[07:53] <jasoncollege24> to check the HDD from a liveCD, is it just "fsck" at the command line?
[07:54] <lordievader> With the appropriate device, yes.
[08:04] <jasoncollege24> Now i remember why I added the videocard... Any ideas why the onboard video would cause my monitor to go into power saving mode when plasma is supposed to appear, but still work when switching to any of the tty interfaces?
[08:04] <jasoncollege24> note that this happens with the liveCD too
[08:06] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: What is set in the BIOS as the default video card?
[08:06] <jasoncollege24> let me check
[08:08] <jasoncollege24> lordievader: it's set to auto, which the BIOS help says will use a card, if it's physically there. There is none at the moment, so it defaults to the onboard. Right up until the login screen is supposed to appear (plasma) the monitor is on and woring
[08:09] <jasoncollege24> working*
[08:09] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: Does it receive a signal? What happens when you set it to onboard?
[08:09] <jasoncollege24> it receives a signal
[08:10] <jasoncollege24> the monitor shows the kubuntu splash image with 4 dots underneath during boot, then goes into power saving
[08:10] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: So it does not receive a signal...
[08:10] <jasoncollege24> I'm looking at the BIOS on it right now
[08:10] <jasoncollege24> oh...
[08:10] <jasoncollege24> ummm maybe not lol
[08:11] <jasoncollege24> well not after that point anyway
[08:12] <hateball> Knowing chipset might help
[08:13] <jasoncollege24> give me a moment to see if I can read it off the board
[08:14] <jasoncollege24> VIA chipset
[08:23] <jasoncollege24> hateball: the onboard chipset is VIA
[08:24] <hateball> jasoncollege24: I was thinking the external card, the one that makes things not-work
[08:25] <hateball> jasoncollege24: oh are you saying it's blank even when using only VIA?
[08:25] <jasoncollege24> ok...
[08:25] <hateball> I have no experience with that, arent those quite legacy?
[08:25] <jasoncollege24> the onboard is the one that is going into power saving mode
[08:26] <jasoncollege24> the other, i'm not sure if it's even causing a problem
[08:26] <hateball> jasoncollege24: can you access a tty by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 ?
[08:26] <jasoncollege24> but the card allows me to use the liveCD
[08:26] <jasoncollege24> yes
[08:26] <hateball> hmmm
[08:27] <jasoncollege24> hateball: I'm wondering if my other problem might be something i did wrong... is it possible I borked my install by screwing with something?
[08:31] <hateball> jasoncollege24: everything can be fixed, but it helps to know what you might have done :)
[08:32] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: The VIA chipsets we have here are troublesome.
[08:32] <hateball> I guess one could try booting with nomodeset and such
[08:32] <hateball> but I shall slowly back away, having not used VIA chipsets in... aeons
[08:32] <lordievader> Is it one of those old VIA chips that VIA itself no longer support?
[08:33] <lordievader> hateball: Lucky you ;)
[08:34] <jasoncollege24> lordievader: yes
[08:35] <lordievader> jasoncollege24: You're in for a treat, it is horrible.
[08:35] <jasoncollege24> also, i booted from the liveCD (using the external card) and have no issues. When I used fsck on my drives, it says they're clean, as if it's just readying whether a dirty bit is set
[08:35] <lordievader> Friend of mine was trying to get a driver compiled with proper 3d support...
[08:35] <lordievader> Anyhow I gotto go, good luck.
[08:35] <jasoncollege24> i didn't have this problem a week ago
[08:35] <jasoncollege24> lol
[08:36] <jasoncollege24> is there a way to force fsck from liveCD without a reboot?
[08:40] <hateball> jasoncollege24: yes since the filesystems arent mounted you can run fsck
[08:40] <hateball> on /dev/sda1 or whatever
[08:44] <jasoncollege24> hateball: fsck refused, so I did it through the KDE parition manager, which is running checks! :-D
[08:45] <hateball> well, I doubt it's the filesystem
[08:45] <hateball> jasoncollege24: have you tried booting an older kernel?
[08:46] <jasoncollege24> no. i'm actually considering just formatting / and reinstalling kubuntu, cuz this is starting to be more trouble than it's worth
[08:48] <jasoncollege24> ugh kernal panic from liveCD... maybe I should just give up
[09:01] <hateball> jasoncollege24: do you have any option in BIOS to disable to builtin GPU and just use external?
[09:01] <hateball> whatever the external might be
[09:20] <joshua__> Hellos
[09:20] <joshua__> Hellow
[09:34] <jasoncollege24> hateball: yes I do, but if my external card issue is a problem with the PSU not being able to provide enough power, that wouldn't help. I'm trying something... questionable lol
[10:19] <jasoncollege24> How do i display the GRUB menu during boot time?
[10:35] <naggappan> @jason press and hold shift key dring the boot time
[11:17] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:37] <david82> hello i am using kubuntu 14.04 i have it installed on ssd but bootime is too long ist it possible to speed it up
[11:37] <david82> ?
[11:38] <lordievader> david82: Does it hang on things?
[11:39] <david82> only i can see is an error message with drive disk
[11:40] <lordievader> david82: An error message?
[11:41] <david82> yes on bootup something wrong with hard drive
[11:41] <david82> but i don't know what is it
[11:41] <lordievader> david82: Could you retrieve the full error somehow. It might explain your troubles.
[11:43] <david82> first must search the error
[11:44] <lordievader> Perhaps dmesg/syslog shows it.
[11:59] <jasoncollege24> is there a way to access Windows 8 libraries like "Videos" (equivilant to older My Videos) that are normally accessible only through homegroups?

[14:00] <AciD``> anybody else having a black screen after locking and powering off the screen, then trying to power it on again ?
[14:48] <pankaj_> Hi
[14:50] <pankaj_> I have installed kubuntu 14.4 but after updating nvidia drivers its getting freez at first kubuntu screen
[14:50] <lordievader> o/
[14:50] <lordievader> What graphics card do you have and what version of the driver did you install?
[14:50] <pankaj_> any solution
[14:51] <pankaj_> nvidia n12p-gs ver70
[14:52] <lordievader> pankaj_: Could you pastebin the output of 'lscpi -k|grep -A2 VGA'?
[14:52] <lordievader> !paste | pankaj_
[14:52] <pankaj_> i think update was some thing like version 33, not sure. installed via kubuntu update service
[16:07] <mine> I really Love what is going on in Kubuntu's 14.10 Beta2 with Plasma 5, But since 13.10 Dolphin has not been able to open most Shares
[16:07] <mine> Yes I can Install SMB4 or mount via Bash, but this isn't the point
[16:07] <mine> the Latest Versions of KDE/Kubuntu plus other Distro's running KDE maybe going as far back as 13.04, but for sure 13.10 on is the ONLY Operating system that can not Open Share files without a fix or outside Program/App to do the mounting for it
[16:08] <lordievader> mine: You do know that both 13.04 and 13.10 are EOL?
[16:08] <mine> EOL?
[16:09] <lordievader> End-of-Life.
[16:09] <mine> yes, but it's still happening in 14.04 and now in 14.10 Beta
[16:09] <mine> nothing has changed in the LTS
[16:10] <lordievader> mine: Have you filed a bug?
[16:10] <mine> lordievader, I was using the 13.04 as the starting pooint as to when I first noticed it
[16:11] <mine> I have
[16:11] <mine> and can again
[16:11] <lordievader> mine: They I suppose you'll just have to wait until it is adressed.
[16:11] <lordievader> Filing duplicate bugs won't speed up the process, if anything it will slow it down.
[16:15] <mine> It's been on Many discussions as of Late
[16:15] <mine> you can see the shares, just won't open them, and won't show up in the Device location of Dolphin with out Installing SMB4
[16:15] <mine> but I won't add a doup then :)
[16:18] <iroh312> i just clean installed Trusty from Precise.  How do set Kubuntu so that it does NOT activate the wifi card until i actually need it?
[16:20] <AciD`> iroh312 > uncheck the wifi once, and it should stay that way
[16:21] <mine> iroh312: click on the WiFi bar, Uncheck the network, reverce when needed
[16:21] <iroh312> I tried that. every time i boot my laptop the card is active until i turn it off.
[16:22] <iroh312> is this something i should report as a bug?
[16:25] <xevil> I have a Win 8, Kubuntu 14.04 dual boot with each operating system on it's own drive.  Kubuntu will not mount the win 8 NTFS drive reporting an error and that "the drive is in an unsafe state".  I have turned off the quick boot option in Win *, but still can't get the drive to mount.  Any suggestions?
[16:26] <sanad> hi
[16:26] <mine> lordievader: It is supposed to be something to do with how the KIO Slave mounts or Doesn't Mount in this case...
[16:26] <mine> But it sadly Renders the KDE Series as a Home only OS to any and All GUI Only users who are still lost as to how to Open remote Shares When the GUI tool given only gets you half there :)
[16:26] <mine> Thank's for your input :)
[16:34] <xevil> anyone have any idead on my question?
[16:34] <xevil> ideas that is...
[16:36] <mine> xevil: I have the same issue on my kde, even running live returns that error... not sure if it's kde only cause I haven't reied it with my Ubuntu yet sorry
[16:36] <mine> Might be a M$ file protection that Win 8 added
[16:38] <xevil> it's a rather annoying condition... I've tried everything I've read to fix the condition, but so far pfffttt....
[16:38] <mine> xevil: have you tried right clicking the drive partition in Dolphin and unlock it?
[16:40] <xevil> It's a seperate drive... not a partition
[16:41] <mine> but still, if you right click that and choose 'Unlock Panel'  I remember it worked for me in the past for something
[16:42] <xevil> I don't get that option... only a Lock Panels option
[16:42] <mine> ahh, so it's already unlocked
[16:43] <xevil> it's very vexing... never had this problem with any other version of WIN
[16:44] <mine> yeah, My Dolphin works great on Win 7 Drive, I am sure it's somethig M$ did to add hurdles
[16:45] <xevil> oh well... maybe I can find something that will work... I can mount it read only, but that isn't what I wanted...
[16:46] <xevil> take care and thanks...
[16:46] <iroh312> i found something re: win8 using fast boot-up
[16:46] <mine> you too, welcom
[16:47] <iroh312> i found something re: win8 using fast boot-up, it seems that if you use fast boot for windows 8 you will get that error using dual boot.
[16:48] <iroh312> i am new to this so i don't know if i am allowed to post urls to other web pages.
[19:33] <sanad> hi
[20:18] <jimmy51v_> at the login screen I can choose the window manager type (KDE,gnome, cinnamon, etc). is this someting I can preset via command line or script?
[20:43] <Walex> jimmy51v_: yes.
[20:44] <jimmy51v_> Walex: how?  (what config file or tool)
[20:44] <jimmy51v_> Walex: i think i've narrowed it down to LightDM configuration
[20:44] <Walex> jimmy51v_: depends on which graphical login manager you are using.
[20:45] <Walex> jimmy51v_: most of them keep a file in your home directory with your personal default.
[20:45] <jimmy51v_> I started with a kubuntu liveCD, added cinnamon.  i would like the default to be cinnamon but leave the option for the user to switch to kde if needed
[20:46] <Walex> jimmy51v_: and there will most likely be a config file in '/etc/' for changing the LightDM (if that is what you are using) system-wide default instead of just your personal one.
[20:47] <jimmy51v_> ah
[20:47] <jimmy51v_> ok, i see the one under /etc/lightdm
[20:47] <Walex> jimmy51v_: http://madebits.com/blog/?x=entry:entry131024-094005 has a detailed explanation#
[20:47] <jimmy51v_> i'll modify that and see if it sticks
[20:48] <Walex> jimmy51v_: also http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins for a shorter one
[20:51] <jimmy51v_> good info in both.
[20:51] <jimmy51v_> thanks for the direction... i'll read and see what I can make happen
[22:59] <MattQC> Hello.
[23:29] <chando> hellow to everyone
[23:30] <chando> I am new here, and would like to know how it works.
[23:31] <chando> I am running Kubuntu 14.04 and enjoy it very much
[23:32] <chando> looking for a good documentation site for kubuntu --like a wiki like Wikipedia
[23:33] <TheFakeazneD525> chando: http://40.media.tumblr.com/d8c9450034e0fcb4ca0d7ee8727496d6/tumblr_mz5evcY3Md1qcsesho3_500.png
[23:33] <TheFakeazneD525> er
[23:34] <TheFakeazneD525> chando: https://userbase.kde.org/Welcome_to_KDE_UserBase
[23:34] <TheFakeazneD525> ..is there any way to disable the autocopy thing
[23:36] <chando> I enjoyed your png. Is there a protocol here that I am supposed to already know?
[23:37] <TheFakeazneD525> chando: I mispasted that
[23:37] <TheFakeazneD525> the second one is the wiki
[23:40] <chando> Yes I have seen this one, but it's only good for KDE --the desktop. It does not cover the system. Likewise, another site is Ubunt, but it is not exactly kubunbu either, so a user of Kubuntu is stuck to discover on his own.
[23:47] <chando> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Kubuntuguide  this site used to be located at a university in Europe somewhere, but it was difficult to update. One had to submit the proposed change, wait a few days, etc and it might chanhge. By the time you got things changed a bit, Kubuntu was already on a new version, so the documentation was left as it was.
