SpringVisual_Excuse me, could anyone tell me how do I update my Kernel version to 3.17.2?11:40
dev_w11:42
jalomannSpringVisual_: download it from kernel.org11:49
jalomanncopy config file and compile11:49
SpringVisual_jalomann are you still here? I downloaded it, but how do I compile?11:51
jalomanncopy your old config file from /boot/config--- to your download path11:52
jalomannit helps to get same options as you have with old kernel11:53
SpringVisual_I see11:53
SpringVisual_one sec lemme do that11:53
jalomann--- is version of your old kernel11:53
SpringVisual_Alright, what now? just open the .tar.xz file with the new kernel?11:54
jalomannnote that you should always compile kernel as normal user11:55
SpringVisual_but you do it with sudo, don't you?11:55
jalomannuntar it to normal user home dir /home/jalo/src11:55
MoonUnit`if you just want to install the kernel debs download the appropriate ones from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17.2-vivid/11:55
jalomannyou need sudo only to install11:55
SpringVisual_what do you mean debs MoonUnit?11:56
jalomannYes that is another good option too.11:57
MoonUnit`deb is a package format11:57
SpringVisual_So I should just download linux-image-3.17.2-031702-generic_3.17.2-031702.201410301416_amd64.deb and double click?11:58
MoonUnit`that should work, i usually do it from the command line with sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb11:59
jalomannI install deb nornally: sudo dpkg -i package11:59
jalomannyes11:59
SpringVisual_oh alright, did you guys already update to this kernel?11:59
MoonUnit`i have12:00
jalomannNo. I update kernel only if I need to.12:00
SpringVisual_are there risks?12:00
jalomannNormally there isn't risk but after that you must update kernel by youself.12:01
SpringVisual_oh, like manually do that every now and then?12:02
jalomannNormal update brings you only updates to the version that was delivered.12:02
jalomannYes12:02
SpringVisual_I see, its not too bad12:02
jalomannNo. And you can update only when need to.12:03
jalomannThey always recommend to update on lkml.org but it is up to you.12:03
SpringVisual_why is it so complicated to update in kubuntu though? I remember many other distros just have it built in to the updater utility12:05
jalomannKubuntu gets updated. But kernel updates are backports.12:05
SpringVisual_backports?12:06
jalomannI get kernel update once a week.12:06
jalomannYes they bring the updates to older kernel version too.12:06
jalomannIf you look at your /boot there is several old kernels12:07
jalomannI have four.12:07
SpringVisual_True, they can be deleted though, can't they?12:07
jalomannYes12:07
SpringVisual_cool12:08
jalomannsudo apt-get purge linux-image-<old-version>12:08
SpringVisual_oh thanks for that ;)12:08
jalomannNo prob12:09
SpringVisual_so about updating, just install the deb package?12:09
jalomannNew kernel 3.17.2?12:09
SpringVisual_yeah, i'm still wondering how to update12:09
jalomanngo to download directory12:09
jalomannsudo dpkg -i package.deb12:10
jalomannthen reboot12:10
SpringVisual_ohh thats how12:10
SpringVisual_I see thanks, lemme try12:10
jalomannok12:10
SpringVisual_Well it says DONE, so i'ma restart, is it normal that it took like 5 seconds though?12:13
jalomannto install yes it is normal12:13
SpringVisual_oh alright, hope it will all be cool, so yeah thank you so much for the help12:14
jalomannyour are welcome12:14
SpringVisualwell then... it fked up the graphics card...12:15
SpringVisualcan you help me revert? lol12:16
jalomannDo you have nvidia card?12:16
SpringVisualyep12:16
jalomannLet's if I remember12:16
jalomannCheck first that the old kernel is there in /boot12:17
SpringVisualhoping you do :3 cus dis is not lookin good12:17
SpringVisualI think so, it's called config-3.13.0-39-generic12:18
SpringVisualor abi12:18
SpringVisualso what to do?12:18
jalomannYes that is standard12:18
jalomannI normally press shift when pc boots up.12:19
SpringVisualand what does that do?12:20
MoonUnit`if you hold down the shift key as the pc is booting you should get a the grub boot menu where you can choose an older kernel12:20
jalomannThen pressing E let's you edit kernel versio12:20
SpringVisualand it is easy to do? cus i'm kind of a scrub :P12:20
SpringVisualwell lemme try then12:21
SpringVisual_Can you repeat the number of the kernal I told you? cus I didn't write it down...12:24
jalomann3.13.0-39-generic12:25
SpringVisual_what button do I need to press to save the grub boot or list?12:27
jalomannshift12:27
jalomannsorry12:27
SpringVisual_no no, i'm already done editing, what do I need to do to boot again12:27
jalomannF10 to boot12:27
SpringVisual_hopefully it'll load up12:28
SpringVisual_well no, now it's not even going past the loading screen12:29
SpringVisual_got frozen12:29
SpringVisual_looking again on the grub thing, it didn't save, how do I save it?12:30
jalomanndid you type the kernel right. the whole vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic must be there12:32
SpringVisual_there are two lines, one of them is /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-39 generic and then a root UUID after that a few lines down /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-39-generic12:33
SpringVisual_first line has a - between 39 and generic^12:33
SpringVisual_alright I think I fixed it, ran a command in konsole "uname -a" and it told me the kernel's back12:35
jalomannwhat says uname -r12:36
jalomannuname -r12:36
xiongceSpringVisual: theadmin12:36
SpringVisual_it says 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP12:37
jalomannok. that is standard.12:37
SpringVisual_So should I try again to update the kernel with a diffrent package?12:37
jalomannDo you see the new kernel 3.17.2 in /boot12:38
SpringVisual_yeah, its there, I should delete those right?12:38
SpringVisual_what was the command again?12:38
jalomannthe problem now is nvidia card. you should install driver for that.12:39
SpringVisual_I already have the latest driver though12:39
SpringVisual_version 343.2212:40
jalomannit is a while when I last installed it but it must be loaded always with a new kernel.12:42
SpringVisual_well so I should just give up on updating he kernel? i'm just having some probelms and people are saying that updating should solve them12:42
jalomannI had the same pain when I wanted to use new cards that were not supported in kernel at that time.12:44
jalomannThat's now the only reason I will update kernel.12:44
SpringVisual_freaking hell, I rebooted and the 3.17 kernel was back... how do I get rid of it?12:44
MoonUnit`it's nice that the opensource radeon (r600) drivers are pretty good these days, no longer have to worry about installing binary drivers12:45
jalomannYou must edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg12:45
jalomannAnd set kernel you wish to top.12:45
jalomannBut be carefull here.12:46
SpringVisual_alright, got into the desktop again, ill try12:46
MoonUnit`. /etc/default/grub is the grub config file, you should edit that, then run sudo update-grub12:47
jalomannI don't remember what was the right and elegant way but that's dirty way.12:49
SpringVisual_so I should change every instance where 3.17.2-031702 to 3.13.0-39?12:49
jalomannYOu should change the order of "menuentry"12:50
SpringVisual_and what does that mean?12:50
jalomannmenuentry is one line in your boot options12:50
jalomannOR then yes if you have only one menuentry line you can edit that.12:52
SpringVisual_well I have no clue how to do that,I just see tons of places where menuentry is written12:52
jalomannThe same number that you typed after shift boot.12:52
jalomannthen it is easiest to uninstall new kernel and make sudo update-grub12:53

SpringVisual_I cant save the grub.cfg though, it says I don't have privilleges, how do I do that? something like save to a temp folder and copy with the terminal?12:54

lfrlucasHi, Is it possible to disable poweroff and reboot buttons of kubuntu desktop under x2go session?12:56
SpringVisual_yeah and how do I get those in Kate editor12:56
SpringVisual_probably pretty easy lfrlucas12:56
lfrlucasSpringVisual_: easy. Could you help me?12:57
SpringVisual_you mean the physical buttons or on the taskbar?12:57
lfrlucasSpringVisual_: I just want to forbid remote users to shutdow the system.12:58
lfrlucasSpringVisual_: Disabling shutdown and reboot buttons for every users in KDE would solve12:59
SpringVisual_Well this is what I found so far, but google can help you there, I wouldn't know http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?39599-How-to-disable-shutdown-for-normal-users13:01
HmpfCBRlfrlucas: is it just against accidental reboot/shutdown via gui or a policy?13:01
lfrlucasHmpfCBR: Is just against accidental reboot/shutdown via gui.13:02
HmpfCBRlfrlucas: that is easy there is an option in systemsettings13:04
lfrlucasHmpfCBR: But this is for a remote server where several users can login. How could admin disable for all?13:05
HmpfCBRlfrlucas: for the individual user the option is in system settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Session Management. For an admin the adaption of the global config option would be a possibility (https://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration), but I don't know the correct file yet.13:08
lfrlucasHmpfCBR: Is there global config options for Kde? I didn't know. Where are they located?13:11
HmpfCBRlfrlucas: the local confg is in ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserver in section [General] the line "offerShutdown=false" (without " ")13:13
HmpfCBRlfrlucas: for global options have a look at the link to system administration i pasted above, especially filesystem hierarchy13:14
HmpfCBRoh and it is ksmserverrc, not ksmserver (my bad)13:15
lfrlucasHmpfCBR: Thank you.13:20
lfrlucasHmpfCBR: Do you know where is KDEDIRS defined?13:21

loveshI wish to use kubuntu 14.10 with kde plasma 5. What would be better option downloading a 14.10 with kde 4 and updating to kde 5 or downloading a 14.10 kde 5 tech preview?21:58
loveshI am asking because on downloads page it says `Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 4 — Latest Release, Stable and Supported`21:59
loveshand `Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 — Tech Preview`21:59
murthylovesh: for trying it out live or to install?22:05
loveshmurthy: I want to install. also i am planning to use it for my daily use for development so i dont want to reinstall a new os soon22:06
loveshin case the tech release does not work ou22:06
murthylovesh: so you can take care if there is any issues at boot stage?22:07
loveshissues at boot stage?22:08
loveshwhat kind of issues?22:08
loveshhave you tried the plasma 5 tech release?22:09
murthyyou know its in a  development stage, for example the login manager can fail, the last time I tried I tried it was crashing on the first boot22:09
murthyya I tried and it was awesome!22:10
murthythe dedicated plasma release is my recommendation, instead of upgrading from plasma 422:11
murthyIf you can take care of any possible issues, you can try the weekly build22:12
loveshi am planning to download the one thats mentioned on the kde website22:13
loveshi mean kubuntu website22:13
murthytry it22:13
loveshthis one http://files.kde.org/snapshots/kubuntu-plasma5/kubuntu-plasma5-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso22:13
loveshbtw do you know a torrent link for this one?22:14
valoriethat is what I am using, although I upgraded from 14.04 to get it22:14
valoriewe don't have a torrent, but there is a metalink22:14
murthylovesh: Try it live before you install, that way you can be little bit sure of the stability22:15
valoriehttp://files.kde.org/snapshots/kubuntu-plasma5-201410310825-i386.iso.mirrorlist22:15
loveshyes but sometimes when i download large files on my internet connection they get corrupt so i prefer torrent22:16
loveshvalorie: that is a 32 bit iso22:16
valorieyeah22:17
valoriewrong page: http://files.kde.org/snapshots/kubuntu-plasma5/22:17
loveshgot it22:18
valorieclick details for the metalink22:18
murthylovesh: have you tried zsync?22:18
loveshnever heard of that22:18
baileywhats the similar channel to beast on irc?22:19
valoriezsync is pretty cool - it is like rsync for ISOs22:19
valoriechecks the data and just downloads the bits you need22:19

=== bailey_ is now known as foco_
valorieKDE doesn't run torrents, unfortunately22:21
valorieand ubuntu wouldn't host our plasma 5 ISO because that code is not yet in the archives22:22
murthylovesh: but this zync software takes care of the software that you are downloading at bit level and checks its integrity at the end, so it is fool proof afik22:22
valoriewe'll be putting it there soon, I believe22:22
loveshvalorie: ok. but the 14.04 and 14.10 have torrent links22:22
valorieright, that software is all in the archives22:23
loveshvalorie: ok22:23
valoriezsync like rsync is very secure22:23
murthylovesh: believe me you wont ask for a torrent after you start using zsync22:23
loveshmurthy: ok.let me try that22:23
valoriewell, torrents are great because you are serving your fellow users22:24
murthylovesh: so do you know how to install?22:24
murthylovesh: oops sorry22:24
murthylovesh: I forgot that you are a developer22:24
* valorie seeds all the *buntu torrents22:24
loveshyes i use unetbootin or usb creator to make a bootable usb and then i install22:25
murthylovesh: no I mean about the zsync22:25
loveshi can google it22:25
loveshi am doing it right now22:25
murthylovesh: You may already know this but this the command for you to get the iso you wanted, " zsync http://files.kde.org/snapshots/kubuntu-plasma5/kubuntu-plasma5-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync"22:27
loveshyes22:27
