KDE didn't start up for me once I upgraded from 14.04 -> 14.10. I moved ~/.kde aside and ran startx, letting KDE re-start. It did. How can I diagnose what's wrong with my ~/.kde then? [00:40] hi? anyone here?? [00:45] MobileRoey: have patience :D [00:46] I'm frustrated beyond belief :( [00:46] I meant :) but it came out :( my bad [00:46] kavaco: it infuriates me that I can NEVER do a do-release-upgrade -d without something messing up and causing some showstopper issue. [00:46] every.single.time. [00:46] I cringe at having to upgrade [00:47] :D [00:47] your KDE is working now? [00:47] with a new .kde directory? [00:48] yeah but startup is super super super slow. [00:48] I killed that effing baloo indexer once I found it was using 100% cpu. [00:49] so I was wondering if I should slice-and-dice between the new .kde and my original .kde in hopes of finding the core of the issue [00:53] you have a guest user? [00:53] hrm. [00:53] checking.. [00:54] normally I should.. [00:55] login with the guest user, and compare [00:55] ok. [00:55] ohhhhhhhhhhhh [00:55] is it systemd? [00:55] is that what's messing thisup?

[15:29] lordievader: seen it, it is postfix!! [15:30] perhaps you installed something recently that had postfix as a dependency [15:30] and just pressed Y [15:30] checking the dpkg/apt log should reveal the truth [15:35] hateball thanks [15:36] 'aptitude why' can be helpful when trying to figure out why something got installed [16:10] hi there, on my notebook I usually have two external monitors. One is vga and other is hdmi. Now, if I accidentally disconnect the hdmi one and reconnect it, all is fine. However if I accidentally disconnect the vga one and reconnect it, KDE doesn't recognize it anymore. Also it won't show up in the systemsettings -> Monitor configuration tool [17:36] hey, using 11.10 and would like to install 2.x kernel [17:36] can someone help [17:36] tried to build but it fails [17:38] znc-: You do know 11.10 has been EOL for ages? But what do you run into? [17:38] yes [17:39] what you mean by run itno hmm [17:39] znc-: You say it fails, on what does it fail? [17:39] oki [17:40] http://pastebin.com/EP6EHXKm [17:41] znc-: Make that command "sudo make menuconfig" ;) [17:41] oki [17:41] znc-: Reading the error usually tells you what to do. [17:43] lordievader: sounds like Gentoo [17:43] http://pastebin.com/XSVDiiKp [17:43] denysonique: Compiling kernels? Can be done anywhere ;) [17:45] znc-: Do you have ncurses-dev installed? [17:45] dont know [17:45] should I try to install it [17:46] znc-: Also, could you provide the full output of the last make command? [17:46] what make exactlz [17:46] this was sudo make menuconfig [17:47] Was it all? [17:47] yes [17:47] Hmm... [17:48] I suppose you can use the 'oldconfig' if it still doesn't work after installing the ncurses headers. [17:49] oki first I will try to install ncurses-dev and repeat this right [17:50] ncurses-dev installed [17:52] outptut changed http://pastebin.com/Msssa5Ps but still fails [17:52] hmm [17:53] sudo make oldconfig also failing [17:53] Where did you get the kernel from? [17:53] kernel.org [17:53] https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ [17:53] here [17:54] hmm [17:54] znc-: Your folder says 2.6.5... kernel.org has 2.6.32... [17:54] youre right I see its rather old [17:54] 2004 whops [17:56] I will try with a newer 2.6.32 yeah [17:58] hi there, on my notebook I usually have two external monitors. One is vga and other is hdmi. Now, if I accidentally disconnect the hdmi one and reconnect it, all is fine. However if I accidentally disconnect the vga one and reconnect it, KDE doesn't recognize it anymore. Also it won't show up in the systemsettings -> Monitor configuration tool [18:06] does anyone recommend a text-editor that can do format highlighting? [18:16] toothe: Vim :D [18:19] vim is for command-line [18:19] That's right ;) [18:34] lordievader: hi [18:34] o/ [18:34] lordievader: see my feedback yesterday? [18:35] Jup, replied to it too ;) [18:36] Jup? [18:37] J pronounced ya [18:38] i dont undertand, but, its ok :D [18:38] kavaco_: It is probably very dutch, means something along the lines of yes/yeah ;) [18:40] similar to redneck amaerican's yep [18:41] Jup :P [18:41] ah, understand now! [18:41] similar to brazilian's "blz" [18:43] ok [18:44] the kubuntu 14.04 dont work with amd catalyst from repo, but work with a amd catalyst form amd site. [18:44] its perfect! [18:46] lordievader: but the execution is not this happening normally. necessary to install some packages before running the script. [18:47] kavaco_: What are you talking about? [18:47] amd catalyst driver [18:47] from amd site [18:48] remeber? the restart, shutdown and logout buttons dont working yesterday... [18:49] and same menus in a windows... [18:49] kavaco_: Yes, but running what isn't happening like normal? And what was necessary to install? [18:49] i installed the amd catalyst from site [18:49] sudo apt-get install gcc dh-modaliases execstack dpkg-dev debhelper dkms lib32gcc1 [18:49] this [18:50] That makes sense. [18:50] lordievader: the script is not shown erros, but it was possible to see the log. [18:51] In other words you installed dkms + build-essential ;) [18:51] :D [18:58] i ran the steam games now [19:02] how to install the lamp-server on kubuntu? [19:04] kavaco_: apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 ? [19:05] and common plugins PHP and Apache [19:06] on Mageia, i can install lamp package [19:06] but, its ok [19:06] kavaco_: Here probably too, I just like doing things by hand ;) [19:07] kubuntu/ubuntu dont have a lamp package, i think [19:08] Muon dont shown === melter_ is now known as melter [19:44] znc-: Did you succeed with the kernel from kernel.org? [19:55] lordievader on the run got into menuconfig and now running sudo mae [19:55] make [19:55] znc-: why are you doing this [19:56] I read about to use an older kernel to compile something else [19:56] wanted try that [19:56] the kernel you are running shouldn't have any impact on compiling anything [19:56] ikonia maybe it will not help but lets see [19:56] dont know [19:56] you're basically out of luck in this channel as 1.) 11.10 is out of support/dead 2.) this channel isn't here to take it further out of support [19:56] znc-: you should know before you try [19:57] as you will cause problems on your already unsupported system [19:57] usually sudo isn't needed for thew make command , only for make install [19:57] sudo for make is actually a security risk [19:58] yes doint it by tutorial where its so described [19:58] http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-compile-and-install-linux-kernel-3-0-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/ [19:59] znc-: seems to me like a.) a terrible guide b.) a terrible idea [20:01] lol [20:06] hmm yes maybe its really not the best ideo sudoing the make [20:06] sudo make install should be fine [20:06] btw it failed === kevin is now known as Guest87131 [20:06] znc-: this is not a good move [20:06] znc-: and outside the scope of this channel [20:06] what exactly [20:07] compiling a kernel === Yukinotteru is now known as Dhs92 [20:08] znc-: a.) 11.10 - unsupported b.) custom kernels [20:09] so I dont may ask for here otherwise banned or so [20:09] hmm [20:09] lets not get dramatic [20:09] there is no need to ban you [20:09] so its ok but you dont like that [20:09] it's not ok [20:10] it's basically outside the scope of this channel (I strongly advise you not to do it - it's a very bad idea) [20:10] understand you but where should i ask instead [20:10] znc-: Why was it again that you needed 11.10? [20:11] because I wanted to build something old and wanted to simulate the circumstances from the old [20:22] znc-: why do you need a newer kernel then, though? [20:23] keithzg hmm [20:23] its an older [20:29] better say got a 3.x and want to get a 2.x one that way dont know the release dates maybe theyre crossed === ryszard is now known as Guest82519 [21:15] hi - the plasma5 tech demo disk - does that upgrade to latest plasma 5 or is the version static ? (i.e not upgradable?) [21:16] i.e - if I install the plasma5 iso then apt-get upgrade it will it have plasma 5.1.1 ? https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.1.1.php [21:20] i.e the plasma 5 .iso is it just a snapshot of where plasma5 was in Oct 2014 or is it current ? [21:21] Guest35833: The iso is a snapshot yes. [21:22] The ppa it uses is another thing though. [21:28] lordievader: so if I install normal 14.10 - then add ppa that is current [21:28] this one - ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next ? [21:30] Guest35833: Err, I'm not entirely sure. But I think that is the one. [21:30] Should end up with the same. [21:32] lordievader: thanks - been meaning to try plasma5 for a while... [21:33] (may ever find a bug or 2 to report..) [21:33] *even* [21:35] Guest35833: \o/ === andrej is now known as Guest95898 [22:12] Hello All :) [22:12] kubuntu 14.04.1 running awesome, new install here. [22:15] geek83: good to hear ! [22:15] yes ty tried a lot ubuntu distro's, kubuntu best so far [22:15] gnome-ubuntu as well [22:50] any good alternative to Gwenview === Dhs92 is now known as Yukitteru [22:55] alket: why is it bad ? [22:56] i think gwenview rox [22:56] actually its nice but I have some problem which bothers me [22:56] its that I have to do CTRL + Scroll to zoom [22:57] I need just to mouse scroll to zoom :) [22:58] change shortcuts ? :) [22:59] stupid me [22:59] thanks soee [23:00] hi [23:00] hey MobileRoey [23:00] I can't seem to get acceleration working with the proprietary NVidia drivers. Can anyone help? NOT #nvidia btw I asked there already. Thanks! [23:00] oh hey soee [23:00] do you have one card or 2 ? [23:01] one [23:01] and why do you think you cant make it work ? [23:01] 1) slow in drawing [23:01] 2) no desktop effects [23:02] though... glxinfo | grep irect says 'yes' [23:02] oh, and glxgears only gives me ~50 FPS [23:02] this is a Geforce 750Ti card on a Q6600 system [23:02] so it's not exactly slow. [23:02] MobileRoey: How have you installed the drivers? [23:02] yes I did. [23:02] oh [23:02] /how/ [23:02] heh [23:02] I used the proprietary instlaler [23:03] sudo sh NVI*.bin [23:03] * keithzg sighs [23:03] please don't :P [23:03] fuck nvidia btw. Linus was right. [23:03] nothing [23:03] gives me as much hassle as NVidia drivers. [23:03] Yeahhh. I've been there. [23:03] keithzg: heh [23:03] keithzg: are there NVidia debs? [23:04] that arenot old? [23:04] Yeah it's all in the repo. [23:04] ah ok. [23:04] what is it called? [23:04] (and not nouveau!) [23:04] nvidia-current [23:04] ok [23:04] what kbuntu version are you running ? [23:04] Or nvidia-current-updates for the newer ones, depending. [23:05] soee: 14.10 [23:05] You can also try just using the Driver Manager (should be found quickly by searching the launcher or krunner). [23:05] MobileRoey: go to System Settings -> Drivers [23:05] and pick recommended, it will instal for you [23:05] apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current-updates [23:05] ya? [23:06] k [23:06] Naw I'd second what soee says. [23:06] I would but the graphics are too slow to redraw [23:06] oh, [23:06] also, [23:06] the console is set to this really squished font [23:06] and the redraw is SSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOWWWW [23:06] omg. [23:06] It'll install from the repos, as if you had done so manually, but I think it also then it does the post-config which it might not otherwise. [23:06] What's your X.org conf like? [23:06] ok [23:06] I let nvidia write me one [23:07] Could you throw it into a paste? Although it's honestly worth just uninstalling the drivers first and then re-installing using System Settings -> Drivers as soee mentions. [23:07] That's the way that *should* work. [23:08] ok [23:09] also, mujst I get out of X when installing these, as I must with the proprietary installer? === rodolfojcj_ is now known as rodolfojcj [23:10] Naw [23:10] ooh ok. [23:10] One of the advantages the Kubuntu way has over the NVIDIA way :P [23:10] -updates is more current than nvidia-current, right? [23:10] :) yeah, I appreciate it. [23:11] Package management FTW. [23:11] * MobileRoey fondles his package manager fondly. [23:11] <-- long time fan of apt [23:12] Yeah that's the only thing I don't like about the idea of switching away from my trusty old Nokia N9. === Fritigern_AFK is now known as fritigern === fritigern is now known as Fritigern [23:12] WARNING: Failed to restore some backed up files/symlinks, and/or their attributes. See /var/log//nvidia-installer for details [23:12] Well, there are other things, but mostly SailfishOS takes care of them. [23:12] ah [23:12] jolla phone? [23:13] ja, although I can't use one in my country (Canada; my carrier is only 3G over AWS, which the Jolla doesn't support), but I also have it installed and working fine on my Nexus 4. [23:13] also I see this periodically: [23:13] CPU0: Cor temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 9976872) [23:13] Hmm, well, worth checking what /var/log/nvidia-installer says but at this point you're probably not to worried about losing config files since they're clearly not working. [23:13] on the console [23:13] ah [23:14] i figured [23:14] Sounds like your case needs more fans ;) [23:14] also it's install nvidia-304-updates [23:14] 304 [23:14] my 750ti needs 334 or higher [23:14] Hrmm. [23:15] that's why I started installing the proprietary crap. [23:15] (answer: because I can't wait for the Ubuntusphere to take its sweet time) [23:15] Well, to be clear these packages are still proprietary crap, just packaged in reasonable ways ;) [23:15] heh so I hear :) [23:16] Hrmm. You might be kindof out of luck then, if it's *that* bleeding-edge. Perhaps it's literally just NVIDIA bugs in the drivers themselves that you're running into. [23:16] praps [23:16] *perhaps [23:16] There's nvidia-331 packages in vivid [23:16] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=vivid&searchon=names&keywords=nvidia [23:16] 331 is not new enough doesn't support 750ti [23:17] in other words, x won't boot. [23:17] I ask Vivid and he says...install proprietary drivers. [23:17] Ouch. [23:17] well [23:17] Well no offense, but I think you might just be screwed for now :( [23:17] that was yesterday in #nvidia. [23:17] yeay [23:17] fuck my l [23:17] ya know what [23:18] it's only a computer. [23:18] ja [23:18] (it doesn't make a satisfying noise until it crunches on the ground 16 floors below) [23:18] god [23:18] DAMN [23:18] how effing long does it take to apt-get install this. [23:19] EVERYTHING gets slow because of bad graphics card support, it seems. [23:20] If it's failing at using GPU rendering and offloading a ton to CPU, yeah, that sadly makes sense. [23:21] it;s still unpacking. I got out of X and it's still slow. [23:21] btw I was on a TTY console [23:22] Well, X is still chugging along in the background probably. [23:22] I killed it. [23:23] Fair enough, it's all boundless speculation on my part [23:23] it's been at "unpacking nvidia-..." for the past five minutes. [23:23] top is your friend! [23:23] aye understood [23:23] I know [23:23] MobileRoey: this is not recommended, but [23:23] dpkg is taking 100% cpu time. [23:23] what, strace -p the process? [23:23] maybe see if it's waiting on something? [23:24] on 14.10 and now on 15.04-dev i am using the latest beta drivers from xorg-edgers ppa and its a HUGE performance jump compared to previous versions [23:24] ok [23:24] what's the deb line for it? [23:24] for the edgers ppa [23:24] huh ? [23:24] I was asking for the source for the PPA [23:25] maybe as a command [23:25] add the edgers ppa deb source line [23:25] https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [23:25] ah thanks!! [23:25] but it is not recommended as i said :) [23:25] ok [23:25] but firs remove current drivers [23:25] deb https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ? [23:25] than install nvidia-346 [23:25] ok. [23:26] thank yo uso much [23:26] MobileRoey: type in koncole: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [23:26] aha, that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! [23:26] soee: tiny correction, add-apt-repository, no? [23:27] Oh, wait, both work [23:27] yup :) [23:27] * keithzg just learned something, heh [23:27] heh [23:27] i prefere apt-* because all othger commands starts like this and new apt update or apt full-upgrade [23:28] Love that command, that's one of those simple-but-powerful things that makes Linux great. [23:28] btw [23:28] I appreciae your alls' fantastic English grammar. [23:28] I enjoy reading good grammar when I see it. [23:28] heh [23:28] !language | MobileRoey [23:28] MobileRoey: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:28] and the way you hyphenated that simple-but-powerful is what signaled that to me [23:29] oh [23:29] Valorie!! [23:29] this is a family-friendly chan, my friend [23:29] yes ma'am :) :) [23:29] would hate to have to quiet ya [23:29] I always used "add-" because to me, conceptually, it was a specific *buntu thing rather than a facet of apt, but yeah, apt-* is the classic format so that makes sense. [23:29] * MobileRoey makes pouty face and such. [23:30] keithzg: wouldn't one try to cleave as close to Debian as they can though? [23:30] the Debian style I mean. [23:30] considering how Ubuntu bases itself off of Debian. [23:31] oooo, both add-apt- and apt-add work? [23:31] apt is magick [23:31] Oh, sure, but the PPAs are specifically an *buntu thing and as such, add-apt-repository/apt-add-repository are things created and distributed by *buntu seperate from apt itself per se. [23:32] sure [23:32] Hence, it's "software-properties-common" that provides the command(s) [23:32] Just saying that's why I conceptually latched on to the add-apt variant, but it's definitely a good idea that both work! [23:40] guys [23:40] it -just now- finished installing that paciage. [23:40] alrihgt, rebooting it now. [23:40] I expect it not to work because it's 304 and not >= 334 [23:40] also because God loves to see my plans foiled. [23:42] I dunno, my son is using kubuntu on his ultra-new gamer laptop because it is literally the only thing that will boot up [23:42] besides the windows it came with, natch [23:42] * MobileRoey grumbles [23:42] he likes distro-hopping, and knows his stuff [23:42] it takes like 10 seconds to get to the GRUB menu for some reason, [23:42] and the rendering is so slow. [23:42] not a good sign [23:42] console rendering [23:43] ah, it put it into 80x25 now and it's fast. [23:43] and....... [23:43] ok now i see a huge mouse cursor [23:44] and it does not extend to the 2nd or 3rd montior. It just stays confined to the first one. [23:44] keithzg: ^ [23:44] do you have kscreen? [23:44] kscreen what'st hat? [23:44] !info kscreen [23:44] kscreen (source: kscreen): KDE monitor hotplug and screen handling. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0.2.1-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 126 kB, installed size 846 kB [23:44] it is installed, yes valorie [23:44] you should be able to access it in systemsettings [23:45] `apt-cache policy kscreen` [23:45] will tell ya [23:46] * keithzg has to run off, good to hear that things are coming along though MobileRoey, best of luck [23:46] valorie: well I checked with dpkg -l kscreen and it showed it installed; is there anything else that apt-cache policy shows? [23:46] keithzg: thanks! [23:46] thanks so much btw [23:46] * keithzg remembers having to use the nvidia-settings application to configure TwinView back in the day to get NVIDIA cards to extend to other monitors, but things should be better nowadays [23:47] aye [23:47] well normaloy it works fine [23:47] no magic needed [23:47] MobileRoey: No problem, in fairness soee was the one who chimed in with the helpful solution here it seems ;) but it's always fun to help! Later. [23:47] soee: and you too Soee, thak you very much for your help and emotional support [23:47] apt-cache policy shows the version you have compared with the latest available [23:48] ah [23:48] well ok [23:48] I just did an upgrade from 14.04 -> 14.10, btw. [23:48] did you stick with lightdm or go with SDDM? [23:49] I didn't know we had the vhoice [23:50] soee: after adding that Edgers repo, I see that there is no nvidia-346.. [23:53] yuo wont see it in Drivers Manager [23:53] you have to install it manually [23:54] yeah but from the command line [23:54] I do sudo apt-get install nivdia-346 [23:54] and it says it cannot find this package. [23:54] soee: ^ [23:54] MobileRoey: not nividia [23:54] nvidia-346 [23:54] oh? [23:54] right. [23:55] nvidia-346 I meant, sorry [23:55] I tabbed after nvidia- and the highest patch level I saw listed is 331. [23:55] !info nvidia-346 [23:55] Package nvidia-346 does not exist in utopic [23:55] oh [23:55] yuo should see it, did you run: sudo apt udpate ? [23:55] no on the update [23:55] which is what I just thought of [23:55] aha :)
