[02:30] hello i am a noob when it comes to linux. i am running kubuntu lastest verison. How can I get my logitech headset to work. I hear no sound. [02:49] makied: when you click on the speaker icon, and open it up, do you see your headset? [03:32] Anyone loose total network function after do-release-upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.10? My Network controller is a Broadcom BCM4313 and my Ethernet controller is a Realtek Semiconductor RTL8101/RT8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet. Both wired and wireless worked fine before the upgrade. [03:34] Snowhog: I did, and had to turn it on with nmcli [03:35] however it seems spotty [03:35] most had no problem at all [03:37] valorie: nmcli d reports that NetworkManger is not runing [03:38] !network [03:38] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:38] Snowhog: do you have the networkmanager plasmoid? [03:39] Yes. It's in the Task Manager with a red x. [03:41] I believe that I recall turning on the networkmanager with nmcli [03:41] took me awhile to figure out how to use it, but I did get everything working [03:52] valorie: Damn!! All I had to do was run sudo service network-manager start and both my wired and wireless connections came up. Back in business. [03:54] heh [03:54] very good [03:54] that didn't work for me; glad it worked for you === kevin is now known as Guest42044 [07:22] good morning [08:41] Good morning. [09:21] I'm sorry to write here but I don't think there is KWheezy irc channel. I'M sure that you know the answer. I'd like to install KWheezy and it asks me about locale. Which should I choose UTF-8 or ISO-8859-2? [09:21] kwheezy ? [09:21] is that a clone disitro ? [09:22] Linnak: Sounds like Debian KDE and I thought there was a #debian-kde [09:22] Ok [09:22] Hmm, never mind.. [09:30] debian's IRC server is OFTC [09:30] there may be an unofficial chan here on freenode tho [09:30] !alis [09:30] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [09:31] valorie: Just checked there no debian-kde, hence the nevermind ;) [09:34] :-) [09:34] I should be in oftc, but another server..... Konversation doesn't have enough room! [09:35] even though I made the channel list font really tiny [09:36] valorie: 4 freenode channels is doable... [09:38] I have 3 servers, 41 chans [09:38] fortunately not all chatty! [09:38] Yeah, freenode does not report about other servers ;) [10:18] Good morning. WIll Kubuntu 14.10 receive larger kernel updates? (I'm specifically looking for 3.17) [10:19] alvin: What you see is what you get [10:19] ie no [10:20] No network then :-( [10:20] there is always the option of adding the mainline ppa [10:21] alvin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [10:21] Yes, I'm trying [10:25] bug #1373276 [10:25] bug 1373276 in linux (Ubuntu) "Unable to connect to ethernet with Intel I217-LM" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1373276 [10:25] I have the Intel I21-V. Same problem. Everything looks good, but it simply doesn't work. (No warnings/errors) [10:31] alvin: Did you add that to the comments and confirmed the bug? [10:32] Not yet. I'm trying the other kernel first. I'll add it if my findings are the same. [10:38] KMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMailKMail [10:38] robin_: ? [10:39] baux [10:39] pardon ? [10:39] linbax [10:39] robin_: what's the issue ? [10:39] I don't understand [10:40] nothing sorry. [10:40] my gf raped my keyboard [10:40] :D [10:41] Apparently, I'll loose the nvidia driver. DKMS does not succeed [10:44] Yep. 3.17 works. 3.18 does not [10:45] That's hard to believe. [10:48] 3.18 has other trouble. I see an initramfs. Network is probably ok [11:13] alvin: its possibly due to the Ubuntu nvidia package not being the most recent. [11:13] try installing the binary version from nvidia.com - that does support 3.18 i believe [11:29] yossarianuk: Thanks. I think I'll start by trying to run 3.17 properly. It is a production machine. Pity there are no official backports. (And it used to work on a previous kernel. Somewhere between 3.13 and 3.16) [11:41] Hi folks === kyle is now known as Guest68258 [11:51] hi === michael is now known as Guest62892 [12:37] How do I rebuild the initramfs? === kbroulik is now known as kbroulik-lunch [13:03] ok, found it. It's actually very easy. But still. What a struggle... my network is still not working. [13:11] alvin, details pls for 'network is still not working' === Fra is now known as Guest42993 [13:13] BluesKaj: I wish there were some. Driver: e1000e. NIC Intel I217-V. Errors in log: none. Warnings: none. DHCP: times out. Static. You can set an address, but ping nothing. Nothing comes in or goes out. [13:15] ethernet? if so run eth0=dhcp , then sudo dhclient eth0 [13:17] DHCPDISCOVER ON eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval .... [13:17] But nothing. [13:18] It tries 9 times, then times out, then tries the whole thing again [13:18] ok , try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [13:19] BluesKaj: Believe me, I've tried. The worst thing is that nothing in the logs shows anything weird [13:20] Wireshark shows the DHCP requests leaving [13:20] ok , do you have the correct driver for the chip ...I have to ask :P [13:21] I tried 2 drivers. The default, built in. And the newer version from Intel. [13:21] ok [13:21] But yes, it's certainly the e1000e driver. [13:21] right [13:22] The weird thing is that I do see incoming stuff from wireshark [13:22] Some UDP packets from my switch for example. [13:23] does 'ip addr' give you anything? [13:23] Only, eth0 does not want to get an IP. I can give it one, but that still doesn't help. I disabled UFW too. [13:23] BluesKaj: Yes, an APIPA address: 169.254.6.228/16 [13:23] and some inet6 stuff [13:25] it should just give you the same as ifconfig, now that ip addr replaces it [13:25] Right. I've heard some rumours about that. Didn't know what came instead. [13:26] Wireshark is open and capturing. I see a lot of stuff coming in. UDP, ICMPv6, BROWSER stuff. But somehow it all doesn't count. [13:26] ifconfig is still a valid command, and they give slightly different results [13:27] Well, I disabled network-manager earlier and used the 'old' ifconfig way of setting an IP address. Even tried with a cross cable to my notebook. Nothing. I couldn't ping the notebook after setting an address manually. [13:28] did you setup /etc/network/interfaces and /t === kbroulik-lunch is now known as kbroulik [13:28] etc/resolv.conf [13:29] BluesKaj: Yes, tried that too. [13:30] and the gateway. I can't think of anything else [13:30] But all those things are not necessary with the cross cable. I've set an IP on both machines using ifconfig. Then pinged those IP's. === Jeruvy is now known as Jerboovy [13:37] ok , dunno if /etc/resolv.conf is still overwritten by /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head though [13:52] In the meantime I've tried switching to systemd, but I still don't like it. (The reason: some errors in de logs). It's impossible to disable network-manager now. [13:53] I also tried an USB stick with the Kubuntu 14.10 installer. Same thing. Live desktop environment: no network. [13:54] well, when I was running static IP without NM it had to be removed so it didn't overwrite /etc/resolv.conf and other networks settings [13:55] It has been a while since I've ignored network-manager. It's actually quite handy on my system. But then I've used DNS-settings in /etc/network/interfaces and left network-manager running. [13:56] This is one hell of a strange problem. But it's not my setup. The live image has the same trouble. [13:56] I need NM for wifi and vpn here [13:56] * alvin goes hunting for other live images [13:56] router? [13:57] or medem troubles? [13:57] Nah. All other computers don't have troubles. It's a Soekris box with pfsense. Can't go wrong there. [13:57] modem [13:57] ok [13:57] The rest of the network works fine. The cable is fine too. I can use it with an USB NIC. [14:00] then it's beyond myn scope, never dealt with pfsense or any of that fw stuff [14:00] I have no idea what it can be. I'm now booting an old PartedMagic CD. [14:03] I wonder if it's some BIOS setting. That could explain why it works in Windows (dualboot) and not in LInux. Pmagic shows the same trouble. [14:11] I was in here yesterday asking about a problem where my partitions weren't being detected by the installer for kde plasma 5 tech preview. The problem was I still had some GPT data left from an old so I had to use fixpart to delete it. After I did that, I just ran the installer and everything works. Just in case anybody else has this problem. [14:11] left from an old install* [14:12] Also fixparts* === echelon_ is now known as echelon__ [14:16] join #sex [14:18] Not now. Too much trouble with that nic. [14:18] Hmm, FreeBSD lets me down too. I'm really starting to think in the direction of the BIOS === Haudegen is now known as Guest13838 [14:21] The live session rendering is extremely buggy for me but I guess that's down to drivers [14:21] Attempted to install 14.10 Plasma 5 from the iso last night on bare metal. Ubiquity crashes at grub-install here (i was attempting a PBR install). Tried again with the --no-bootloader switch (why isn't that option in the GUI?) and still failed at the same point but no errors reported. Anyone else having this? === Guest13838 is now known as Haudegen [14:28] uefi? [14:28] mpm>^ [14:29] BluesKaj: not sure what you're asking [14:30] hi there i got a question about the context menu in dolphin; i can do rightclick compess and have lots of possibilities - is there a way to add compess to zip + date in the filename ? [14:30] does your machine use uefi in place of bios? [14:30] yeah === federico is now known as Guest6128 [14:31] !uefi [14:31] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:31] I think I'm okay since I'm in the final stages of installation right now === Guest6128 is now known as FederIt [14:33] ok , but the bootloader/grub might fail again, but i can't advise you since I know practically nothing about uefi ... used legacy mode for my install of W7 and Kubuntu [14:34] BluesKaj: that happened last time, but last time I installed windows last [14:34] maybe it will be different [14:34] oh, always install windows first then linux [14:35] restarting now [14:36] Hi Anybody uses vnc with kubuntu 14.04? [14:36] Kded4 crashes due to kscreen [14:37] lfrlucas: VNC is terrible - use X2go/NX/Spice . [14:40] yossarianuk: what do you recomend? [14:40] grub shows both kubuntu (says ubuntu) and windows 7, all went well [14:41] mpm_, cool :) [14:41] yeah , dunno why grub doesn't recognize kde [14:43] probly a kernel thing [14:46] to clarify im wirting a new sevice i want to use Exec=compress_TARGZ.sh %U and add a date to the file name [14:49] lfrlucas: x2go [14:50] lfrlucas: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:ubuntu [14:50] yossarianuk: thanks [14:51] you don;t get 3d / desktop effects though [14:51] (has been known to mess up desktop effects on the machine you are connecting to) - i.e you may need to re-enable them after [14:52] its about 20 - 50 X faster than VNC .... [14:58] lfrlucas: one word of warning x2go only works on desktops that do not REQUIRE 3d - i.e not on Gnome3/Unity. [14:59] KDE /LXDE/XFCE are fine [14:59] Yeah, I'd like to try it out. It's build on NX3 technology. I've used NX3 for years. [14:59] NX4 sounds nice, but the free version is without SSH :-( [15:13] alvin: NX4 is shie [15:13] *shite* [15:13] yossarianuk: the client is windows [15:15] yossarianuk: I'm using x2go, How can I set resolution? [15:18] lfrlucas: the client is for loads of OS's [15:18] hey guys somebody familiar with the ark batch mode - i'm trying to add a date to my compressed filename this is what i got Exec=ark --changetofirstpath --add --autofilename tar.gz %F as a default [15:19] yossarianuk: Resolution is not changing... === rober is now known as Rob_G [15:19] - add the repo and 'sudo apt-get install x2goclient' [15:19] for the client [15:19] you set resolution in the client [15:19] Any tips on getting nvidia drivers to work with kubuntu 14.10? Can't even detect my native resolution [15:19] yossarianuk: I already installed client and server. I connected, but resolution is always FullHD [15:20] yossarianuk: I put 800x600 in the client. But it comes FullHD [15:21] lfrlucas: double check you have set res correctly [15:21] -> session preferences -> settings tab [15:21] -> custom - enter correct width/height.... [15:22] if you have issues I suggest #x2go [15:22] Also why does nvidia-settings say my monitor is CRT-0... [15:24] mpm_, open system serttings>driver, manager look for the recommended nvidia driver [15:24] err driver manager [15:25] sounds like they already have the nvidia driver installed [15:25] There is no driver manager [15:25] plasma 5 btw [15:25] I have seen this before oddly on machines when the monitor VGA/DVI cable was knackered or not fixed into the VGA card correctly. [15:36] yossarianuk: Hmmm it works from windows, not from gentoo client [15:40] lfrlucas: Odd - i've had it working from Ubuntu 12.04->14.10 (and Kubuntu), Arch, Opensuse and Fedora. [15:41] not tested gentoo - I gave up using that about 6 years ago .... Its a worse habit than any drug... [15:41] Or whenever I first tried Arch... - It was a KDE update that did it - Gentoo = several hours - Arch = 10 minutes. [15:42] I love the USE flags though,,, [15:44] mpm_, 14.10 plasma 5, forgotten where to look for the recommended drivers/additional drivers or whatever plasma 5 calls them [15:44] jen2 [15:45] dropped plasma5 3 weeks ago after too many bugs got in the way [15:47] lfrlucas: you should report a bug if you have found one - however as you are using gentoo there are many many potential things causing the problems. [15:49] alvin: Do other hosts see your dhcp requests? [15:53] yossarianuk: maybe the version [15:53] yossarianuk: its 4.0.3. [15:54] yossarianuk: I just want to put it working in windows. It's for my friends. I used my gentoo laptop just to try the client in linux, but is not important [15:55] cool [15:55] im on 4.0.2.1-1 ... [15:59] lordievader: Good question. I should have ran tcpdump on the router. It's too late now. I found the issue (partly). It was a BIOS setting. Trouble is, I don't know what setting. I reset to "optimal values", then the network works. Then I changed every setting one by one and rebooted to see if it still worked. Now every setting is as before, and I still have network... [15:59] s [15:59] So, it was a BIOS problem, but I still don't know what exactly. [16:00] There are some errors in the logs. Unrelated. If I look them up it's all ACPI bug, firmware bug... ignore them. No clear answers. [16:01] alvin: A bios problem, how odd. [16:02] It worked again as soon as I resetted the BIOS [16:05] alvin, what did you reset in the bios? [16:06] yossarianuk: thank you. X2go is fabulous. I did not imagine that there is a remote desktop app like this [16:07] Mostly everything. Well, the setting "reset to optimized defaults" [16:07] It's an ASUS mobo. Irritating UEFI thing. I always have to pull out the mouse or I can't navigate [16:07] lfrlucas: best I have used [16:07] lfrlucas: only works with real desktops - not gnome3/unity... [16:07] yossarianuk: eheh [16:08] yossarianuk: YOu can even share folders from client machine! [16:08] yossarianuk: Very nice app [16:09] * BluesKaj wiped the drive clean of windows gpt etc. and runs uefiu in legacy mode .. it's the only setrup I understand [16:09] err uefi [16:10] BluesKaj: UEFI is not too bad now... [16:11] secure boot is a nightmare apparently - but unless you run windows you can just disable that [16:11] my view is - if you have the tech you may as well use it... [16:11] yossarianuk: I noticed that resolution does not change in gentoo like in windows when you resize client window, but when I define display number it sets the local display resolution in gentoo. Not bad [16:11] yossarianuk, well, it's too late, windows 7 runs fine as does kubuntu [16:12] also some systems are coming out now as UEFI only - SteamOS used to be originally [16:12] it also forces you to use GPT>.. [16:13] BluesKaj: fair enough - the 'advantages' are not worth switching... [16:13] this laptop came with windows 8.1 which I promptly erased === DeadS0ul is now known as spawn7 [16:13] BluesKaj: smart choice - same here.. [16:13] I have a win 8.1 vm to run 1 application - vsphere... [16:14] Heh, I paid the Microsoft tax for my laptop, but never even booted Windows on it [16:14] yossarianuk, I gave 8.1 a chance on my desktop pc , but it wasn't my cuppa tea...too much like unity :) === Moonunit is now known as Guest70080 [16:15] yeah , same here alvin [16:24] I'm in charge of the infrastructure now and am slowly planning on converting all vmware vms -> KVM. [16:25] KVM \o/ [16:29] KVM = more flexible , faster IOOPS! [16:29] built into the kernel, etc... [16:29] also libguestfs-tools can do wonderful things [16:30] like resizing partitions within a disk image that are not at the end of the disk. [16:38] i.e i.e say you want to expand a disk image, + FIRST partition or one not the one at the end of the disk + LVM volume size + the ext4 filesystem you do this in one command. - don't think you can do that with other virtulaisation techs (except XEN) [16:39] tried kvm-qemu, but it would fail to install the OS [16:39] virtualizer [16:43] I've been using KVM for years. It's great. Instead of libvirt I'm using ganeti though. [16:48] i just dual boot ... that way I still have vpn and full use of the hw [16:58] All, need info! Has a fix been made to the LiveDVD code to allow it to enter into the following modes: [16:58] Upgrade (for any other detected Kubuntu/Ubuntu version)? [16:58] Recovery (to fix current problems, such as aptitude error that exists in current release)? [16:58] Please inform! I'm stuck! The failure to bounce to "Recovery" and the current release aptitude issue has me where I can not fix anything on my laptop! [17:00] The Kubuntu installer most certainly does not support upgrade scenarios at the moment [17:01] At this point I'm ready to give up but after doing apt-get upgrade in kubuntu 14.10 my screen went black and I had to use the power button to reboot. When I logged in again I was faced with this: http://snag.gy/DeXx9.jpg [17:01] All applications display sideways, but function as if they were the right way up, making it completely unusable [17:01] holy crap [17:02] mpm_: reproducable with a new user? [17:02] don't know but I can give it a go [17:11] Problem is reproducible with new user. Tried deleting xorg.conf since I thought nvidia-xconfig might have done something but it didn't change [17:11] Anyway I think I might just delete the kubuntu partition [17:13] No me puedo conectar a la sesion unity ubuntu [17:14] mpm_, which nvidia driver? [17:15] BluesKaj: I did apt-get install nvidia-current, from the xorg-edgers ppa [17:16] why a ppa ? wasn't the 331 driver working? [17:16] mpm_,^ [17:17] I don't know, I just googled how to install the latest driver and there was an option between the website and a ppa [17:17] so I chose ppa [17:17] xorgedgers isn't bad but it is cutting edge, that driver you have may be the problem [17:18] In my xorg log somewhere, there was a message about being unable to read EDID from CRT-0 [17:18] I assume that's the cause of my resolution problem [17:18] The messed up display, I really have no idea because the apt-get upgrade did it [17:19] mpm_ lspci -knn | egrep -A 3 'VGA|3D' to check which driver is installed [17:21] I'm on windows right now, but it's the latest proprietary one in xorg-edgers [17:24] thanks for your help [17:36] yossarianuk: Do you know how to make x2go source /etc/profile [17:36] yossarianuk: PATH variables are not well [17:37] can I get the start button keyboard key to pop the K menu? [17:49] jimmy51v_, the kmenu is tied to alt+F1 and doesn't look like it's editable. [17:51] BluesKaj: I've found a forum post about it... they suggest using a package called ksuperkey to set it up that way. I'll check that out [17:56] holy cow it worked [17:57] Where is the setting to prevent kate from crashing when deleting a file? [18:06] Settings -> Configure Kate -> Application -> General -> Do not crash [18:06] Maybe the last one is "warn about files modified by foreign processes" ;-) [18:10] gotta clean my driveway...snowed here and it's taking too long to melt [18:11] BBL [18:15] alvin: seems like "Do not crash" would be more intuitive [18:15] :) [18:21] alvin :D [18:21] BluesKaj, there is a programm “Sweeper”. ;) [18:23] Actually, the problem is that kate crashes when I delete any file. It does not have to be open in kate. Can be a JEPG or something else. [18:24] If Amarok is running, both crash. [18:31] hey, if i use kubuntu 14.04 , is it possible to upgrade kde 4.13 to 4.14?
