[02:15] hi. I have a stats project where I use java to load in about 400mb to ram by sequentially opening roughly 7000 files in a directory. it seems whenever I do this, kubuntu freezes during the next boot and i have to reinstall the OS [02:28] * tekkbuzz recommends not doing that. [02:30] nicol2: I would do a mem test. [02:31] do i reinstall the operating system and then do a memtest, or boot up in recovery mode terminal and do a mem test? [02:31] right now it freezes on the "kubuntu" loading screen [02:32] should be an option in your grub menu. [02:32] ok thanks [03:10] pass complete, no errors, press esc to exit [03:13] moin === IdleOne is now known as io === io is now known as IdleOne === shiggity is now known as shiggitay [05:47] hey all... [05:47] I've been trying to install Kubuntu 14.10 on my Baytrail tablet.... I had it going, but then stupid me decided to try out a 15.04 daily build, and now I can't get 14.10 running again.... [05:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2257841&p=13192577#post13192577 [05:48] ^ ^ ^ More detail [05:48] 14.10 on a tablet is impressive [05:49] haha [05:49] it ran pretty well too [05:49] trying 15.04 daily sounds .... slightly insane [05:49] Ahahahah [05:49] like jumping off a cliff [05:49] I like its new UI [05:49] I'm glad you are still laughing [05:49] well, how about doing ppa-next on 14.10 then? [05:49] eh? [05:50] though it was initially running on an SD card [05:50] * valorie is doing that on this laptop and running plasma 5 daily [05:50] so I wanted to see how it'd run on onboard flash [05:51] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14.10 [05:51] valorie, so I just now reinstalled 14.10, but whatever I do I can't get it to load grub to load the US.... my LiveUSB stick has two additional folders on it that I added... would that f up anything? [05:51] did you make it with persistence? [05:51] no [05:52] I didn't use Unetbootin [05:52] then yes, it probably did [05:52] I used something called 'Rufus' [05:52] however, you can check by doing a md5sum [05:52] !md5sum [05:52] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:52] always good to do that anyway [05:53] did it for some reason not flag my boot partition as bootable or something? [05:54] I have two EFI boot entries labled as "ubuntu" and none of them boot [05:54] I guess I could redownload the ISO and reimage it to my USB stick [05:56] well, you can md5sum the ISO [05:56] no need to re-download unless it is corrupt/incomplete [05:56] this is why I try to always torrent ISOs [05:57] ktorrent at least always verifies the files [05:57] trying a TORRENT [05:57] stupid crapslock === kevin is now known as Guest99143 [05:59] shiggitay: if you already have your ISO, you don't have to re-download it [05:59] once the torrent begins, ask your client to verify the image [06:00] too late [06:00] reDL in process :P [06:00] just ensure you are using the correct path to the ISO file you already have [06:00] it's never too late [06:00] :-) [06:00] heh [06:02] I seed all the *buntu torrents, so no matter what you want, it will be available [06:02] all current releases, that is [06:03] okay I verified it... no issues [06:03] * shiggitay reimages [06:04] gah brb [06:32] Reinstall in progress [06:38] annnd I still can't get it to boot.... wtf [06:38] valorie, ...anyone? [06:41] just... nothing happens? [06:44] I think it could have to do with my tablet only support 32bit EFI booting [06:45] but when I use a 32bit image it refuses to boot, even with a custom compiled grub.efi made for x86 vs x86-64 [06:46] supporting* [06:50] I copied over my bootia32.efi file to my boot partition, but it still doesnt work [06:51] maybe I forgot to run update-grub? [06:52] if that's even possible to do on a liveUSB? [06:59] Okay now I'm trying to install again but I manually made partitions... maybe it was a partitions issue [06:59] lessee [07:25] Okay so I decided to boot up a 32 bit ISO with my added grub image, and it only boots if I boot the initramfs, but I can't get it to boot the installer [07:25] I have to manually set up grub when it boots btw [07:25] i.e. set root=(hd0,1 etc [08:01] Good morning. [08:29] okay well it seems that the 14.10 installer decides to finish prematurely (i.e. right when it's installing Grub2). How would I properly install Grub2 manually? [08:29] valorie, anyone? [08:50] aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm trying to reinstall YET AGAIN but this time with a different USB OTG cable [08:50] I hope it doesn't crap out when installing Grub >_> [08:50] I think that's my problem [08:51] hi. I have a stats project where I use java to load in about 400mb to ram by sequentially opening roughly 7000 files in a directory. it seems whenever I do this, kubuntu freezes during the next boot and i have to reinstall the OS. i tried memtest and there were no errors [08:59] Bah yeah Grub isn't installing properly... why is this happening? >_> [09:07] nicol2: you have to reinstall ?

[12:34] noel, it does boot only with your flash drive but does not boot from your flash drive? [12:34] it only boots from my flash drive i have to use the option run without installing [12:35] i want to start it up like a regular computer [12:35] but it will not [12:35] noel, use punctuation. [12:35] noel, is that the first time you use Linux? [12:35] Yes it is. [12:36] noel, did you read manuals? [12:38] Long time to answer. [12:39] I did, I feel like i almost tried everything. Im getting the feeling maybe i shouldn't have deleted windows so [12:40] sorry for the late reply [12:40] What manual did you read? [12:41] the stuff on the ubuntu website I downloaded it from the site. [12:41] and on there forums. [12:42] Can you give me the URL? [12:43] www.ubuntu.com [12:43] ubuntu.com [12:44] well here is an exact to the server page www.ubuntu.com/download/server [12:44] That is not a manuel. So you only read this? [12:46] do you have any idea or solution on how i can get it to boot on its own.. i just read the stuff from that site i dont have a physical manuel. [12:47] im just going off forums and google searches [12:48] noel, so you never used Linux, but want to set up a Linux Server? And you did not read manuals? That is very wired. But if you want to do that, you should read a manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [12:49] Is this guy kidding me?

I'm trying to get it to boot on its own... I had another OS's grub booting it, but then I deleted that OS, and now I can't get 14.10 to directly boot [13:33] @ nanogeek [13:35] can you tell me what was the OS you deleted?

[15:36] that's what I've just turned on. seems a lot better, but still a touch blurry. Unity and Windows don't seem to have this issue on this machine [15:40] triss: I cannot tell you exactly what causes it, but sometimes an update can make my fonts much uglier. I sometimes give up, and do a fresh install, and for some reason the fonts get prettier One of the initial attractions of *buntu to me has been better fonts out of the box than Fedora or OpenSUSE. [15:44] mparillo: "fresh install" is something that is essentially never necessary with decent package managers and configurations systems like (so far) in GNU/Linux. [15:45] mparillo: as to the fonts it is a complicated issue, with two/three big sides: whether the fonts have good hinting, whether antialiasing/autohinting are enabled, whether you are using X11 or FontConfig. [15:46] mparillo: "slight RGB hinting" is not quite right: there are different types of hinting, and different tyupes of antialiasing. [15:46] triss: I have good recommendations, but they are not popular... [15:47] hi [15:47] is possible to install neon5-latest.iso by text based installer? [15:49] triss: the important details are: 1) set the right DPI for the screen. 2) use well-hinted fonts e.g. the Microsoft web fonts. 3) don't use antialiasing therefore. 4) if you use antialiasing use gray-levels only, not color-filtered. 5) well-hinted '.ttf' fonts don't require autohinting. '.pfb' fonts instead autohint quite well, on full hinting. === tatriev_ is now known as tatriev [15:50] triss: mparillo: my notes on fonts and sample FontConfig files: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxFonts.html http://www.sabi.co.uk/Cfg/Fontconfig/ [15:51] triss: mparillo: on screen DPI: http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/14-one.html#140228 [15:52] triss: mparillo: fonts and gamma and dark/light backgrounds and testing fonts: http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/12-two.html#120225 [15:52] triss: mparillo: fonts and gamma and dark/light backgrounds and testing fonts: http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/12-two.html#120225 http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/12-two.html#120206 [15:52] triss: mparillo: an older summary: http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/anno06-2nd.html#060509 [15:55] BTW my tastes are relatively unpopular because I like well hinted antialised fonts in largish sizes on light backgrounds. Most "geeks" seem to like antialiased fonts in tiny sizes on dark backgrounds. [15:55] which is the name of ubuntu text installer ? [15:56] sacarde: depends! 'debian-installer' or 'deboostrap' for example [15:57] BTW as to fonts and visual quality display gamma is also quite important to check, another article on that: http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/anno05-2nd.html#050608 [15:58] Walex2, and the package name? [15:58] sacarde: 'apt-cache search ....' :-) [16:06] I rebuild my question [16:06] I run neon5-latest.iso in qemu [16:06] but I am not able to run graphical installer [16:07] how can I install it? [16:07] can someone please tell me why I can not copy a mp4 file to any of my devices in kubuntu? [16:11] sacarde: That might be a better question for the #project-neon channel. The regular Kubuntu DVD comes with a text install option already. [16:12] which are different between neon and kubuntu ? [16:12] sacarde: I'm not sure. that seems to be one of them ( no text install option in the Neon iso ). Maybe you could ask them, if anyone's awake in there [16:13] ok genii ... thanks [16:13] but which is the name of text installer? [16:14] that you have inserted in kubuntu ? [16:14] The default installer is called Ubiquity. [16:15] graphical, no? [16:16] yahyaa: our psychic advisors are busy on other astral dimensions. Please wait... [16:17] sacarde: The text installs are done with debian-installer [16:17] ( or d-i for short) [16:18] sacarde: The thing is you can't really run that by itself, it needs an extensive preseed file [16:18] with : debconf ? [16:18] ah [16:18] ok [16:20] sacarde: Your likely best option is to use debootstrap. However, the arguments to put into debootstrap would not be the standard Ubuntu ones if you're using Neon. So in this case you'd still need to ask around in the Neon channel, or look for Neon-specific help on forums or internet at large [16:21] ok [16:21] genii, thanks a lot [16:21] yahyaa: If you've manually mounted the device as root, then the root of it will not be writeable for regular user. You'd need to make a folder on it that the user has rights to [16:22] Also if that device is an iPod they need special instructions [16:24] these are just regular flash drives @genii [16:26] yahyaa: In this case, they should automount and be writeable for normal user. If your file is larger than 4G it will break the file size limit on them and not be able to copy [16:26] I don't think I have mounted them as root, don't even know how to do that I don't think [16:26] Apologies on lag, was required here at work for a bit [16:26] no prob its cool, I appreciate the help [16:27] just learning this linux stuff, I like it alot, but do to my lack of knowledge concerning it, I run into problems that really annoy the hell out of me!

I have not used any type command make .. the program is installed automatically as it does in Windows. From the terminal can not run the program, says that the command was not found .. But I have a nice icon that launches it [18:33] download a new source [18:33] and run 'make uninstall' [18:34] stop) [18:34] 1. ./configure && make [18:34] 2. ./make uninstall [18:36] This type of installation in linux I had never met.
