Flutterwhatis it a good idea or bad idea to run Kubuntu from a USB 2.0 flash drive04:24
Flutterwhatso far things are slow as molassas04:24
OerHeksAny OS will run slow, but is it bad? i don't think so.04:24
FlutterwhatThis sony vaio laptop has no internal drive currently, but when i do get one, will i be able to clone what's on the USB flash drive onto the internal and have it be bootable and what not?04:25
OerHeksWith a little work you can, i would do a fresh install and copy data04:27
Flutterwhatallright. cool.04:27
FlutterwhatI really enjoy kubuntu. it's becoming my favorite linux distro. and this is coming from a die hard mac user04:27
Flutterwhatbut after being forced to spend five months with outdate PowerPC machines and software, ressurecting this beat up sony vaio i found in a dumpster and installing kubuntu has been a godsend.04:28

=== David1977 is now known as Guest35755
VolUTFanWhat is a good channel to discuss and get some help with bash scripting in Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma508:57
valorieVolUTFan: perhaps #plasma08:58
lordievaderVolUTFan: Is it just about bash scripting, or specifically scripting for plasma5?08:59
VolUTFanjust plain ol bash scripting.  I am writing a sh file for reinstall of packages.  I have had to reinstall kubuntu 14.10 plasma5 like 10 times in a row on my box.  For some reason the Plasma5 desktop stops responding on fresh install and all I am left with is a blank kicker panel and can only use yakuake in order to manually launch apps.09:01
VolUTFansooo, instead of me spending manual time reinstalling apps, figured I would bash the thing09:02
VolUTFanI found #bash but not sure if that is the best option09:02
lordievaderVolUTFan: Then I'd recommend #bash.09:03
VolUTFanthanks lordie09:03
VolUTFananyone else here running plasma5?09:04
valorieI am09:04
VolUTFanbefore I go, I wanted to know if you was experiencing the same thing I am09:04
lordievaderAt times.09:04
valorieI've never experienced what you describe09:04
VolUTFanhow about glitchy and slow gui09:04
lordievaderI've never seen it either.09:04
valoriealthough when I still had lightdm installed, it caused problems09:04
VolUTFanI installed from scratch09:05
valorieditched it, and it's golden09:05
VolUTFanso lightdm was the root of your problems09:05
valoriefor awhile plasma was crashing, but since the last updates, solid09:05
valoriehaving lightdm AND sddm was the problem09:05
valoriethose who have stuck with lightdm are doing OK09:05
VolUTFanis lightdm also in the installation disk for Plasma5?09:06
VolUTFanor is that if you upgrade from plasma409:06
valorieI had the next PPA back in 14.04 I believe09:06
valorieI know what it was -- I used to have everything in /opt09:07
valorieonce that was fully purged, those problems ended09:07
VolUTFanwell I was noticing the developers put the next ppa in the sources.list.d folder now instead of directly in the sources.list file09:07
lordievaderVolUTFan: It is probably still on the disk. And else, with an internet connection can easily be installed.09:07
valoriesorry for the confusion09:08
VolUTFanno problem09:08
VolUTFani checked, and fortunally lightdm is not on my box09:08
VolUTFanthats good09:09
VolUTFanthanks guys09:09
identixsupport in here or in #kubuntu-offtopic ?09:27
Tm_Tidentix: here of course09:27
identixHi.. long time debian/ubuntu and variant user but am having major problems with kubuntu 14.04.1 on a gateway netbook regarding the touchpad..09:28
identixnever have I had any issues regarding the mouse or touchpad on ANY other systems i've installed it on (including dell netbooks)09:28
identixI just can't figure out why on earth it's going haywire09:29
identixi'm not too sure how to be more specific regarding this... it's a if the touchpad isn't calibrated? or configured properly. t doesn't move properly nor left/right clicks work correctly09:30
identixpossibly a mixup with a setting for a wheel that doesn't exist - i'm not sure09:31
identixdoes anybody have any ideas on where I can start or what I am not doing properly?09:31
valorieidentix: do you have driver-manager?09:34
valorietry alt+f2 and type it in09:34
valorieif you have it, it will pop up09:34
valorieor even just type driver09:34
identixok let me check ..09:37
identixthanks valorie09:37
valorieI use my touchpad instead of a mouse, and rely on it to work right09:37
identixlately i've been running freebsd locally and bsd or solaris on my servers so it's been a couple years since i've used an xwin environment09:38
identixbut last time i ran kubuntu (9.04 I think) i never had issues with my touchpad09:39
valoriedoes KDE run on freebsd?09:39
identixyes but I used xfce09:39
valoriecool09:39
identixuse*09:39
identixI am setting up a friend's netbook with linux so I'm trying to get him all setup with an easy-to-use OS09:40
valorievery kind of you to do that09:40
identixdue to the fact he is a microsoft native09:40
identixthank you09:40
identixhe has too many security issues09:41
identixI am tempted to install gentoo, harden the kernel and compile *09:41
identixbut I want him to be able to learn and also not scare him away from open source09:41
valorietell him that we are friendly09:42
valoriehere and on the user list both09:42
identixdriver-manager is showing  me nada09:45
identixmost definately.09:45
identixi am writing scripts to make almost everything seamlessly automated09:45
identixsuch as a fw monitor for iptables etc09:45
identixthis is the first i've ran KDE in a LONG time09:46
identixand this touchpad thing is bothering me a bit09:46
identixI just don't understand.  it's as if it thinks the pad is a scroll wheel or button09:46
identixi think09:46
valoriehmmm09:46
identixmaybe it's late and i'm exhausted but I must finish this task..09:47
valorieI've not heard anybody else raise the issue09:47
identixany movement of the touchpad creates the action a right click would do by default09:48
identixi know it's something simple09:48
identixi just can't get to the setting/get the setting correct09:48
valorieI wonder if there is a config file09:50
valorieit would be in ~/.kde/share/apps or /share/config09:51
valorieI can't check as I'm now running plasma5 and the configs have moved09:51
identixi will look... i have no browser at my disposal except lynx09:53
identixso i will consult it shortly ..09:53
valorieyou'll have dolphin, the file manager09:54
identixand navigate utilizing the keyboard?09:58
identixtrue09:58
identixsomething simply isn't right09:58
identixi'm half tempted to reinstall xwin09:59
valoriewell, one of the first things I always do in a new install is add yakuake09:59
valoriewhich pops down a konsole instance with the click of f1210:00
valoriebut I see your point10:00
identixyeah atm i am merely utilizing irssi in console (ctrl + alt + F2)10:09
identixmore often than not I am using console so xwin is not very common10:09
valorieI have to have my guis10:09
valoriebut so often the console is quicker and easier10:09
identixhehe yeah i use my tablet for graphical stuff10:10
identixyes console is more... well..... robust10:10
* valorie has no tablet, just this laptop10:10
identixi see10:10
valorieand a phone, I guess that counts a bit too10:10
identixgui's are good don't get me wrong10:10
identixi always have one installed on a personal (non-server) machine10:10
valorieespecially for beginners, or those who don't enjoy the cli10:11
identixyep10:11
identixor are learning it10:11
identixi will jump on some forums via lynx  i suppose10:11
identixfirst i may try a couple more things10:12
valoriefor me, I would not enjoy irssi, and I didn't like email in the console either10:12
identixah... that's all i use :)10:14
identixgranted    my mailserver runs on an openbsd machine10:15
valorieI'm looking at the bug reports, and don't see anything likely10:15
identixbut for actual mail I utilize a modified ver of squirrel mail (web mail)10:15
identixright i may just reinstall xwin10:15
identixor somehtinng10:15
identixsomewhere somethinng went fubar10:15
identixirssi FTW10:16
identix:)10:16
valorie!touchpad10:16
ubottuFor a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad10:16
valoriewell10:16
identixi'll look there first10:16
valorieI expected nothing; thank you ubottu10:16
identixthanks10:16
valorieah, I forgot synaptics10:16
valorieidentix: one thing you could try is logging out, and logging into a guest account10:17
valorieif it works for your guest, then you know some setting got hosed10:18
valoriebut on a new install that is unlikely10:18
identixindeed10:21
identixthanks valorie10:21
identixi will join a client back to freenode and let you know what i learn10:21
identixtake care10:21
* valorie will probably be in bed.....2:30am here10:22
valoriebest of luck10:22
identixthanks :)10:25

scherenhaendenhello... my computer is sending information....18:57
scherenhaendenit has stopped just right now as im writting18:57
scherenhaendenbut it was sending information for about 30 mins... like on 1Mbps18:58
BluesKajscherenhaenden:  sending information in what mode ? in the terminal or..?18:59
scherenhaendenBluesKaj: well i dont actually know19:02
scherenhaendeni was trying to find out... it is not the first time... i just like to know if i have someone sniffing on my stuff19:02
BluesKajok scherenhaenden how do you know it's "sending information"  ...saying you just know doesn't hel;p us19:03
scherenhaendenBluesKaj: cuz i always have the system monitor open, and it shows me that the computer is sending info, but i dont find anything19:04
BluesKajso which process(es) are you monitoring ?19:06
BluesKajscherenhaenden: ^19:06
scherenhaendenwell... monitoring... as it.. nothing... i was on panick, i did an netstat... then i opened quasel, to write about this here down... as i wrote... it just stopped :S19:07
BluesKajscherenhaenden:  do you have automatic updates/upgrades turned on in the software center?19:08
scherenhaendeni do that everything by myself, anyhow, i came today back home from berlin, and i did the updates/upgrades... all by myself... it began later... n it happens like once a month19:09
scherenhaendenbut i dont know what to do... n its kind of creppy... cuz ive just went offlike... and back, and it began to send information again19:10
BluesKajso do you have iptables and fw setup to block unwanted probes ?19:10
scherenhaendenno... to be clear... ive just did a netstat...19:11
BluesKaj"it began to send information again" so what is "it" in th eprocess table that is actively sending info ?19:12
scherenhaendenBluesKaj: i was a bit on panick looking in internet what to do... but i have the result on excel19:12
scherenhaendeni didnt see the process table complete at that point... :( maybe i gotta doo it by next time19:13
scherenhaendenBluesKaj: i dont knowo if io can do anything with this result19:13
BluesKajscherenhaenden:  which netsat command are you using to see what's sniffing your connection?19:14
scherenhaenden:~$ netstat19:15
scherenhaendenive just installed fwbuilder19:17
BluesKajscherenhaenden:  a better command is netstat -s , it gives a rundown on what's active with identifiers19:18
scherenhaendenjep... i was on panick... i was trying to do something... ill let it now... cuz it is not sending information anymore... so i cant do anything... but nexttime gonna try to stay calm and try to find out what it could be19:19
scherenhaendenBluesKaj: im gonna go back to work see ya... thanks for everything!19:20
