mr_rourickhi all, i'm still new to linux about 6month's now with ubuntu distro's, why is kubuntu 14.04.1 faster then xubuntu 14.04.1?00:01
mr_rourickgoogle research tell's me xfce lighter then kde?00:02
Monikayes, Xfce is lighter than kde00:04
Monikanot sure why Kubuntu is faster on your computer than Xubuntu00:04
valorie"lighter" means different things to different people00:04
valorieit all depends on what you test00:05
mr_rourickmonika, i thought so wasn't 2 sure ty00:05
mr_rouricki a unity x user so wasn't sure00:05
mr_rourickkde and 14.04 just super fast on laptop00:06
mr_rourickanyway's thank's, gonna keep this kde on here hagd all00:06

keithzgmr_rourick, Monika: Kubuntu and Xubuntu use entirely different compositors for their sessions, I'd guess that KWin just happens to work fine whereas there's some bug of some kind with the one being used (Compiz still, I think?) and the specific graphics drivers in play.01:12
Monikayeah, I would suspect a hardware incompatibility01:13
keithzgMartin Gräßlin does some pretty amazing work on KWin, I'm not surprised to hear a case where it sounds like it's making a performance difference :)01:13
Monika:)01:13

MobileRoeyhello everyone17:57
* genii makes more coffee17:58
MobileRoeyI'm trying to find out why my system suddenly massively slowed down after my upgrade from 14.04 -> 14.10.17:58
MobileRoeyReading package list... <-- that part in apt-get update is VERY slow17:58
MobileRoeyas is Firefox's performance.  Just very, very slow.17:58
MobileRoeywhy is it so slow?  How can I verify if it is due to certain settings or bad builds?17:59
mparilloMobileRoey: I have noticed the Firefox has become slower if you start with multiple tabs open. For 90% of the sites I visit, rekonq works, and is much faster than FF, Chrome, or Chromium.18:01
MobileRoeyok18:01
MobileRoeymparillo:  typically I can have like 80 tabs open18:01
MobileRoeyor 200+ tabs18:01
MobileRoeyin different tab groups of course18:01
mparilloAlas, 10% of the sites seem to crash rekonq. Oh, you are WAY beyond what I tried. I had in mind 20 tabs or so.18:01
MobileRoeyand yeah I did notice that having multiple rows of tabs open results in a much slower Firefox--but it wasn't like his before I upgraded to version 33 with Kubuntu 14.1018:01
MobileRoeyhar, har har18:02
MobileRoeyI'm kind of wary of upgrading my machine at work from 14.04 -> 14.10 as well, because of this.18:02
mparilloMobileRoey: The main reason to be wary is if you do not like Plasma 5, 14.10 will be supported with bug fixes and patches only 9 months or so, while 14.04 is LTS (so you want to stay there if you want to hold off on Plasma 5 for a couple of years).18:10
mparilloIMHO of course.18:10
=== dan_ is now known as Guest97438

FailBithello!19:15
FailBitI just burned a kubuntu livecd for my PowerMac G5, but I can't get good graphics — everything turns out pink and corrupt19:16
FailBitI'm in single-user mode right now on a fresh boot.19:17
FailBit`modprobe nvidiafb` says 'cannot request PCI regions'19:17
FailBit_ok, I'm logged in to irssi on this mac19:21
FailBit_any advice on how I might be able to get a GUI here?19:22
FailBit_btw -- livecd I'm using is Kubuntu 12.04 Desktop for PPC19:22
FailBit_so I don't have lightdm, I have kdm...19:23
BluesKajsudo service kdm start19:23
FailBit_the graphics are still corrupt on display19:24
FailBit_I guess I could live with my CLI, but this isn't ideal.19:24
FailBit_# service kdm stop19:25
BluesKajFailBit_, which gpu ?19:29
FailBit_BluesKaj, an nvidia I think19:30
* FailBit_ looking it up19:30
FailBit_GeForce 6800 Ultra19:30
FailBithttps://i.imgur.com/T4ugx4F.jpg19:31
FailBit_^ that's what I see after starting kdm19:32
BluesKajyou should be running the nouveau/default nvidia driver at least, but I think the 304 or 313 driver should work on your gpu19:32
FailBit_apt-get install nvidia-304 ?19:33
BluesKajyes19:33
FailBit_will I have to reboot? (can't do that with livecd)19:33
BluesKajnot if X isn't running19:34
FailBit_X is not running. Ok, I'll try it.19:34
FailBit_hmm19:35
FailBit_E: Unable to locate package nvidia-30419:35
* FailBit_ looks in /etc/apt/sources.list19:35
FailBit_Does nvidia-304 have a candidate for ppc?19:36
FailBit_*ppc6419:36
BluesKajFailBit_, install kubuntu-restricted-extras19:36
FailBit_E: Unable to locate package kubuntu-restricted-extras19:37
mparilloMobileRoey: Sorry, I do not know the answer to that.19:38
BluesKajmake sure you have restricted and multiverse repos enabled19:38
BluesKajFailBit_,^19:38
BluesKajFailBit_, which kubuntu version are you on?19:39
FailBit_12.0419:39
FailBit_ppc livecd19:39
BluesKajoh , 12.04 probly doesn't have the 304 driver available19:39
* FailBit_ adds multiverse sourc19:39
FailBit_source19:40
BluesKajand you should be using 14.04 if you want an LTS19:40
* FailBit_ installs kubuntu-restricted-extras19:40
FailBit_BluesKaj: where's the 14.04 ppc livecd iso?19:40
FailBit_couldn't find it from a quick search...19:40
FailBit_nvm, no blank cds right now.19:42
BluesKajFailBit_, thereisn't a 14.04 ppc image available anyway19:43
FailBit_ubuntu was my hope to save this useless mac19:44
FailBit_12.04 is still useful19:44
geniiThere's a server PPC image. Not sure if you caould install kubuntu-desktop afterwards but maybe19:45
* FailBit looks frantically for CDs19:45
geniiThey are at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04.1/release/19:46
genii( not livecd though, just install ones )19:46
FailBitCan I run the CLI install wizard from the livecd I have?19:47
BluesKajFailBit the 304 driver is supported according to this http://www.nvidia.ca/object/IO_32667.html19:47
FailBitBluesKaj: but it's proprietary, right? And compiled for Intel...19:48
geniiFailBit: You have some debian based PPC on it right now? If so can do debootstrap19:48
FailBitI'd need a CLI partitioner tool19:49
geniiFailBit: What livecd you have there right now?19:49
BluesKajFailBit, compiled for intel? never heard of that kind of driver19:50
FailBitgenii: kubuntu 12.04 desktop, ppc19:50
FailBitBluesKaj: compiled for Intel == doesn't run on the PPC19:50
BluesKajnever heard of that19:51
FailBitThe PowerPC is a big-endian processor made by IBM and used in early Apple computers19:52
FailBitLike my PowerMac G519:52
pedahzurFailBit: A modern IBM Power servers. Also rumored to be in servers being made my Google for their data centers.19:52
FailBitThe PowerPC is also used in Nintendo's GameCube, Wii, and Wii U (the Wii U using PPC64 arch)19:53
BluesKajdunno much about macs, never owned one19:53
FailBitConsider the PPC about as able to run Intel code as the Raspberry Pi19:54
BluesKajnever owned a raspi ...maybe someday19:55
FailBitIf you have a mobile phone, it probably has an ARMv7 processor19:55
BluesKajheh, got an old moto flip phone for emergencies and travel19:56
geniiFailBit: You could boot to it, partition and format with whatever's built in there ( I think gparted) , drop to a commandline to install debootstrap. Then mount the drive, and run like debootstrap --arch=PPC trusty /mountpoint  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu     ... then you need to find the UUID of it's / and make an fstab entry for it. Then bindmount livecd's /sys /proc and /dev to the new install's ones, chroot there and run the grub-install19:57
genii/dev/sda ( or so) along with update-grub after and update-initramfs -u19:57
* genii wanders back to the coffeepot19:57
FailBit_genii, sounds good, will try19:57
geniiFailBit: That should give you a minimal cli bootable system, after you can install whatever *buntu-desktop, etc. Might need to expand the sources.list though, I think it only installs main by default19:59
* FailBit_ clueless on using parted19:59
FailBit_argh.20:02
FailBit_might have to do this in osx20:02
austin6598can i easily upgrade from the beta to the official release once it comes out?20:03

austin6598will i lose any data?20:04
austin6598how stable is Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 — Tech Preview?20:04
austin6598FailBit?20:05
roastedIs kubuntu planning to use pulse audio at any point or are they sticking to phonon?20:07
BluesKajaustin6598, plasma 5 is still experimental...draw your own conclusions20:08
austin6598BluesKaj have you used it?20:08
austin6598BluesKaj can i upgrade without losing all my installed packages and configurations20:08
BluesKajroasted, pulseaudio is installed by default20:08
BluesKajaustin6598, no , your configs will be gone20:09
austin6598BluesKaj can i upgrade from a stable version without losing all my settings?20:09
geniiroasted: Since my Vivid seems to be getting a lot of phonon updates.... I'd hazard a guess they are sticking with it for now20:10
BluesKajroasted, as is phonon20:10
roastedI only saw phonon in the settings so I assumed, possibly incorrectly, that pulse wasn't there20:11
BluesKajaustin6598,  I'm on plasma 5, it's like installing a brand new desktop, your formere configuration files are overwrtitten or gone20:11
BluesKajroasted, it's not an either or20:12
austin6598BluesKaj what about upgrading from plasma 5 to the stable version of kubuntu plasma 5 when it releases?20:12
roastedI see. Thanks for the clarification.20:13
BluesKajaustin6598, we'll have to wait and see , but I assume plasma 5 configs will survive the transition20:13
BluesKaj!phonon20:14
BluesKajhmm20:14
roastedI hope streaming over samba gets fixed in upcoming version20:14
roastedThat bug is like 2 years old :(20:14
lordievaderroasted: Phonon runs on top of Pulseaudio.20:15
geniiI haven't really messed with my sound system since I had that !intelhda issue20:16
* lordievader has a nifty sound server :D20:18
geniiWhat linux needs is a per-app equalizer of some kind20:20
BluesKajlinux needsa comprehensive sound suite from the kernel up to the desktop20:21
BluesKajnot the mishmash we have now20:21

* genii goes and grabs a coffee22:31
geniiHm, I see now they installed a 64bit PPC kernel. Dunno if it's gonna work22:33
FailBitThe G5 is 64-bit22:33
FailBitand it did not boot into grub, no.22:33
geniiFailBit: Yes, but when we did debootstrap then we could have used ppc64el , I believe22:34
FailBitI will install a 32bit ppc kernel22:34
geniiAlthough, I am not overly certain on this, don't normally work with these platforms :)22:34

geniiFailBit: OK. I have to leave in about 15 minutes22:42
FailBitgenii: it skipped any trace of grub and booted straight to osx again22:44
geniiFailBit: Meh :-/22:45
FailBitMaybe yaboot is necessary, idk22:45
geniiFailBit: I'll be back in tomorrow 9-5 EDT and we can continue, unless another takes it up. Might want to try #ubuntu-powerpc but there is like 12 people usually in there22:45
