| dougl | I did an update on my 14.04 and all my fonts went microscopic rendering the mahcine almost useless any suggestions? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | dougl: did you check the font settings? | 00:10 |
| valorie | perhaps something has changed, and you can change it back | 00:10 |
| dougl | can you do that from ssh? | 00:10 |
| valorie | hmmm, not sure | 00:14 |
| dougl | Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-45-generic (x86_64) | 00:14 |
| dougl | Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.113/build/make.log for more information. | 00:14 |
| valorie | I don't know how though | 00:14 |
| valorie | ah, so it is a driver problem | 00:14 |
| valorie | not fonts | 00:14 |
| dougl | I have fried this fish before... | 00:14 |
| dougl | jockeytext? | 00:15 |
| TWillJam | hey i am having troubble getting the kde 5 preview to bootup | 00:16 |
| computerquip | I'm looking for software to manage my fstab. Is there any KDE related software for this? | 00:18 |
| TWillJam | hey i am having troubble getting the kde 5 preview to bootup | 00:18 |
| dougl | computerquip, nano? | 00:19 |
| computerquip | dougl, no really. | 00:19 |
| dougl | computerquip, how big is your fstab? | 00:20 |
| computerquip | Currently not large.. but I'd like to have more control over how some of my hard drives are mounted rather than just have them automounted. | 00:21 |
| computerquip | Preferably in a manner that doesn't have me copy and paste values from blkid or df. I'd also not like to figure out by man page what each option does since I don't have muscle memory for it. | 00:26 |
| computerquip | I think the "Disks" utility works for my purpose. Never mind then. | 00:33 |
| dougl | LOL | 00:37 |
| dougl | yeah drivers... | 00:38 |
| bvogel | Hello all, this is my first try at an IRC client | 00:51 |
| valorie | yay, more IRC users! | 00:51 |
| valorie | hi bvogel | 00:51 |
| * valorie is just leaving for pizza and beer | 00:51 | |
| bvogel | ok correction i have played with Mirc on a windows machine.. but i am starting to play with linux and have installed linux lite in a dual boot to try it out.. so far i'm liking the speed of linux over windows | 00:52 |
| computerquip | That was very painful... apparently, if your drive fails to mount and you choose to drop into a root shell, you're next boot up will give you a black screen that responds to nothing but CTRL+ALT+DEL (which is kill everything and reboot). | 00:55 |
| computerquip | However, switching between a backup kernel seems to to prevent this from happening... I don't even know... | 00:56 |

| guillaume__ | hello | 16:43 |
| dougl | morning | 16:57 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, you around I updated my 14.04 and some how borked my nvidia drivers so my fonts are microscopic and the machine is practically useless with kde running but I have shell access to install new drivers (which I did from memory in gui that did not help) - good morning :LOL | 17:02 |
| dougl | nvidia gt640 | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, afaik the nvidia-340 driver is the one you need, so, sudo apt-get install nvidia-340, in the shell | 17:08 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, thanks, you get any of that snow? | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, a little , 3" maybe | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | going out to push it in a few mins | 17:12 |
| dougl | slow and steady - thanks again. | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | did the driver install ok? | 17:14 |
| dougl | no I only had options for 331... was gonna google, just wanted to touch base with you and see if anything changed I am guessing dpkg -i nvidia-foo is an option too | 17:15 |
| dougl | nvidia-331 | 17:17 |
| BluesKaj | I looked at the nvidia site driver recommendation for your card and the 340 was the minimum driver, but maybe the 331 will work | 17:18 |
| dougl | Thanks BluesKaj | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | np dougl , the 331 seems to be the nvidia workhorse driver for most nvidia gpus atm | 17:20 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, all under control now... I just cant get comfortable with the point and click - anything I try gui leaves me disappointed cuz I mess it up... just FYI all installing well now | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | good | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | well, I'm an old windows guy due to on the job requirements many yrs ago, so when i discovered linux I naturally migrated to KDE which is my fav gui/desktop | 17:36 |
| computerquip | For packages that do not have an explicit i386 derivative package, do I need to rebuild the package myself for 32-bit counterparts? | 18:07 |
| computerquip | oh: http://superuser.com/questions/741380/how-to-install-i386-package-under-amd64-ubuntu-debian | 18:09 |
| computerquip | However, this now confuses me as to why there are explicit i386 packages... | 18:09 |
| computerquip | Is it discouraged to use the method in that superuser post? | 18:10 |
| Walex | computerquip: I don't understand your confusion... | 18:17 |
| computerquip | Walex, why are their explicit i386 packages when they aren't always used. | 18:19 |
| Walex | computerquip: some people have 32-bit only computers, or they prefer 32-bit installations as they have 1-4 GB of memory or less | 18:20 |
| computerquip | I'm not asking the purpose of 32 bit packages... I'm asking a question about why they're package the way they are and what the appropriate way to achieve multiarch libraries would be. | 18:20 |
| Walex | computerquip: you question does not make sense to me, sorry. But... | 18:21 |
| Walex | computerquip: I suspect that you are not aware of the difference in a '.deb' repository between the 'pool' of packages and the list of packages. | 18:22 |
| Walex | computerquip: or perhaps you need to think of the difference between 'dpkg' and 'apt-get' | 18:22 |
| Walex | computerquip: there is no such thing as "multiarch libraries", or multiarch packages, but there are multiarch *repositories*. | 18:23 |
| computerquip | I think I see the confusion where I refer to multi arch library as a library that's available on the system for multiple architectures... I wasn't aware that Debian/ubuntu literally called it the multiarch repository, where as most others call it multilib. | 18:29 |
| computerquip | Or no... | 18:30 |
| computerquip | Yeah, think that's it. | 18:30 |
| computerquip | Anyways, my question is why are some packages explicity labeled with i386 (e.g. libnss-mdns-i386) where as others are not. | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | computerquip, probly because a 64bit version of said apps haven't been developed | 18:42 |
| computerquip | BluesKaj, but there's libnss-mdns which appears to be a x86_64 package. | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | ok that's a common name for 64bit | 19:12 |
| computerquip | I know this, you gave the reasoning that perhaps there is no 64-bit package available though. | 19:13 |

| computerquip | If I use Xorg Edgers PPA, should the driver manager see later versions that aren't included in official repo? | 21:02 |
| computerquip | I see it sees nvidia 340 but not 346 | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | computerquip, which nvidia gpu ? | 21:03 |
| computerquip | GTX 770 | 21:03 |
| Walex | computerquip: rereading what you write above I think that you misunderstand how '.deb' packages and ELF executables work. Perhaps you are familiar with Mac OSX or other systems that work in completely different ways. | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | computerquip, which drivers does the package manager have if you search nvidia? | 21:05 |
| computerquip | Walex, I've programmed on Linux for several years. | 21:05 |
| Walex | computerquip: then you should be asking that kind of qwuestion... | 21:05 |
| computerquip | Because I'm not familiar with how ubuntu/debian packages things. | 21:06 |
| computerquip | But you're putting into question my knowledge of things that aren't even related to such things. | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | xorg xedgers should list their available drivers on the ppa website | 21:07 |
| computerquip | http://codepad.org/ISe6UiqS | 21:07 |
| soee | computerquip: no drivers manager wont see them | 21:07 |
| computerquip | As you can see, a basic search sees all available drivers appropriately. But the driver manager only shows 340. | 21:07 |
| computerquip | Ah, okay. | 21:07 |
