lolcatWhat kernel in 15.04?12:54
MoonUnit`3.1912:55
lolcatMoonUnit`: is it a good kernel?13:04
lolcatMoonUnit`: is it faster than 3.16?13:04
MoonUnit`no idea, using 4.0-rc's13:05
MoonUnit`4.0 has decent fan control for my radeon card.13:05
knittlhi. I'm using gnome-shell and after resuming from standby, shortcuts stop working (i.e. super-t, super-l, volume buttons). Is there a related bug report/fix?14:26
ErtheDoes someone have a link I can visit with the list of open bugs in the 15.04 Kubuntu?14:56

MoonUnit`Erthe: http://bit.ly/1FI2ojh14:58
ErtheMoonUnit`: Thanks :D14:59
ErtheOK, so I have a bug that does not provide a crash report dialog; however, something is very much failing.15:04
Ertheie. I can't use ubuntu-bug either15:05
MoonUnit`noticed their was a apport-kde update today, try updating and trying ubuntu-bug again15:09
Ertheapport-kde crashed on me, logged a bug against it.15:10
ErtheThe bug I'm experiencing is when using web shortcuts or entering a URL directly into the Alt-F2 dialog I receive a message involving permissions and kioexec15:11
MoonUnit`hmm just tried via alt-f2 worked here, i'm using kubuntu 15.04.15:12
ErtheI'm on Kubuntu 15.04 Beta 215:13
ErtheIt also happens if I click a link in Konversation15:13
lolcatif I upgrade to 15.04 will I have to dist upgrade again when it goes out of beta?15:15
MoonUnit`Erthe: in default applications i had to set 'Web Browser' to to firefox, annoying problems with chrome taking over.15:16
Erthehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/19pq8493jy1380o/crash.png?dl=015:16
MoonUnit`lolcat: yes15:16
ErtheThat's the initial error15:16
lolcatMoonUnit`: hm15:17
Erthehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/twvabuewv2b95nl/crash2.png?dl=015:17
ErtheAnd then this one.15:17
ErtheMoonUnit`: Oh... I use Google Chrome as well.15:17
ErtheLet me see if that'll fix that.15:18
MoonUnit`try checking these to see if they are set to firefox too.15:19
MoonUnit`sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser15:19
MoonUnit`sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser15:19
lolcatdoes zfs work in 15.04?15:20
lolcat*** Please make sure the kmod spl devel <kernel> package for your15:21
lolcatwat?15:21
ErtheOhhh, weird.  The default application for text/html was winebrowser15:23
lordievaderHihi15:23
MoonUnit`hi15:24
lordievaderThat was a laugh, not a 2x hi :P15:24
MoonUnit`heh15:24
ErtheOK, I can use Chrome without issue; just wondering why the default was winebrowser15:26
MoonUnit`probably due to windows .URL files.15:29
lolcatI am trying to upgrade15:34
lolcatit says /boot needs more free space15:34
lolcatwat to do?15:34
lordievaderlolcat: Clean it up (through your package manager) or repartition.15:34
lordievaderResize partitions I mean. How large is your /boot?15:34
lolcat/dev/sda2                        237M  157M    68M   70% /boot15:35
lolcatthis is the last time I trust the installer to set up lvm15:35
lolcatlordievader: what command to remove the old kernel stuff?15:36
lolcatinitrd.img-3.13.0-19-generic, initrd.img-3.16.0-33-generic and initrd.img-3.16.0-34-generic is useless15:36
lordievaderlolcat: apt-get purge linux-image-<version>-generic15:36
lordievaderlolcat: 240M is quite small.15:37
lordievaderShould be fine for ~3 kernels.15:37
lolcatFile descriptor 65 (/dev/pts/12) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 17712: /usr/sbin/grub-probe15:38
lolcatlordievader: the installer is crap and it wouldn't let me manually partition properly so I just gave up15:38
lolcatbut purging just one was enough to be able to install vivid15:39
lolcatfingers crossed for zfs working15:40
lordievaderlolcat: The text-based installer lets you do what ever you want ;)15:40
Erthelolcat: I always setup my own partitions manually.15:40
Erthelolcat: No distro installer does it the way I like it.15:40
lolcatI don't like partitions, /home on zfs and everything else on / with no swap15:40
ErtheNo offense to the *ubuntu folks15:41
ErtheI don't use swap either with the SSD.15:42
lolcatI don't mind swap, but then I would put it on a sparsefile or on zfs15:42
ErtheI'm sure that 16Gb of RAM is enough.15:42
ErtheI barely reach 3GB at my busiest.15:43
lolcatmy / is a SSD, and my /home is on a HDD. And yes, 16gb ram is sufficient.15:43
ErtheMy / is an 128Gb SSD and my /home is a 500Gb SSD.  Simple setup.15:43
lolcatI have a 60GB ssd15:44
lolcat750gb hdd15:44
lolcatErthe: I have more gigabytes than you115:44
Erthelolcat: Well, I have a HAF-XM box with two x docks; have a 1TB HDD in there for large files.15:44
Erthelolcat: It's NTFS though, shared with my Win7 install.15:45
lolcatErthe: I have an icy box with two 3tb harddrive15:45
lolcatupgrade started15:45
lolcatcant wait for bleeding edge15:45
ErtheI'm loving Kubuntu 15.04 so far.15:46
ErtheDying for a port of QtCurve to KF5 though.15:46
knittlis there a bug report related to shortcuts stopping to work after resume from suspend15:47
lolcatErthe: I use xubunut or ubunut I think, but I only use i3wm15:59
Erthelolcat: I've been running/following KDE since version 0.9x; there was a time I ran WindowMaker or BlackBox due to system constraints for memory/CPU, but these days that's hardly an obstacle.16:00
lolcatErthe: I just found out I hate menus, and I hate windows16:00
lolcati3wm has neither16:01
lordievaderi3 is quite nice.16:01
lordievaderStill I use KDE :P16:01
lolcatbut it has too many things16:02
ErtheIt comes down to what the environment provides on a daily basis and how tightly knit all of the elements are.16:02
ErtheNo desktop environment is perfect for everyone.16:03
lordievaderTrue that.16:04
ErtheI think the only beef I've had with KDE since Plasma is the damned peanut.16:05
lordievaderHehe16:05
ErtheAnd in Plasma 5 I can't get it to rest in a corner.16:05
MoonUnit`Erthe: yeah top left was annoying for me, moved the cashew to top right.16:07
MoonUnit`get nicely covered up by the browser now.16:07
ErtheNo matter where it is, I can get to everything I need without it.  I honestly don't think I ever use it.16:08
ErtheI wish I could disable the damned thing :D16:08
Erthebbiab.16:19
massiveblueHello, i have a boot issue with ubuntu gnome vivid, grub2. Freshly installed sys, last installed package: fglrx-driver I also have a BootInfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10793356/ I only see the grey rectangle after BIOS and nothing happens. What can I do to debug this?18:21
BluesKajmassiveblue, maybe use the default driver 'til you fihgure out why fglrx isn't working18:24
furkanwould anybody else with a radeon card (southern islands) using the open-source driver mind checking if they can reproduce this glitch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/144060218:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1440602 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "Graphics corruption after suspend/resume cycle" [High,Confirmed]18:25
massiveblueBluesKaj: i cant start even with the opensource-driver18:25
furkanmassiveblue: which card?18:26
BluesKajmassiveblue,  xserver-xorg-video-ati doesn't work ?18:26
massivebluefurkan: Radeon HD577018:27
massiveblueBluesKaj: it worked, then i installed fglrx, machine doesnt boot, i started live sys, chrooted and removed fglrx, ran update-grub, but the machine doesnt boot18:28
furkanstrange that it wouldn't start with the open source driver18:28
massivebluei think there is a problem with my grub18:28
furkanah18:28
furkanhere's an idea18:29
furkani had a similar issue18:29
furkanboot into a recovery terminal, and type in18:29
furkandpkg -l | grep fglrx18:29
furkanand then apt-get remove --purge all the remaining packages that you see18:29
furkanthere should be 3 of them18:29
furkanit's not enough to remove, you need to remove --purge (at least that's what i have to do)18:30
furkanif you only remove, it leaves some configuration files behind, which screws things up18:30
massiveblueok, how to get into "recovery terminal"? i have a live-cd which i can boot and chroot into my environment18:30
furkanno need18:30
furkanat your GRUB menu, go to advanced options18:31
furkanand choose the 3.19 recovery mode option18:31
furkanand then you'll be presented with another menu, choose root shell18:31
massivebluethe grub menu is the problem, i see grey rectangle, no entries and also it doesnt react on keyboard inputs18:31
furkanoh...18:32
massivebluei could take a photo and upload it18:32
furkanwhen you removed fglrx from the chrooted environment, how did you do it?18:32
massivebluefrom chrooted env, aptitude remove18:33
furkanprobably worthwhile trying the purge from the chrooted environment then18:33
furkanbut i'm not sure if it will fix your grub18:33
furkanmaybe you also need to run an update-grub18:33
massiveblueok, i will give it a try18:34
furkanactually, do run an update-grub18:34
furkanafter you've purged fglrx18:34
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# mount -o subvol=@ /dev/sda1 /mnt/18:36
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/18:36
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/18:36
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/18:36
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# cp /proc/mounts /mnt/etc/mtab18:36
massivebluecp: ‘/proc/mounts’ and ‘/mnt/etc/mtab’ are the same file18:36
massiveblueroot@ubuntu-gnome:~# chroot /mnt/18:36
furkanmassiveblue: might wanna pastebin it18:37
massiveblueok18:39
massivebluehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10793608/ looks fine to me18:42
massivebluei will try to reboot now18:42
massiveblueback again, this didnt worked19:04
furkanno change at all?19:04
furkanfrom your pastebin, what was interesting is that the fglrx packages still showed as installed19:05
furkaneven though you tried to remove them before19:05
furkanthe "ii" means they were installed19:05
furkani was expecting them to show "rc"19:05
furkanwhich means they're removed, but config files are still present19:05
massiveblueno change at all, i upload a photo where i get stuck19:07
lordievadermassiveblue: How much doesn't boot your machine? Does it show a splash screen?19:07
massivebluehttp://abload.de/image.php?img=img_20150410_204348rvjbf.jpg19:07
massivebluelordievader: does the photo-link answer your question?19:08
lordievadermassiveblue: Not really. Unless that should be a splash...19:08
massivebluelordievader: it's just a grey rectangle19:09
lordievaderGrey?19:09
massivebluelordievader: i dont know if this the grub2 splash screen19:09
lordievadermassiveblue: You don't get to see grub?19:09
massiveblueyeah, big light grey rectangle, with darker grey border19:09
massivebluelordievader: i dont get to menu, no19:10
lordievaderThen it has nothing to do with radeon or fglrx, your grub is most likely broken.19:10
lordievaderYou do boot to a drive with grub installed?19:10
massivebluelordievader: yes, i only have a single drive installed19:11
furkanmaybe he needs to do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158109919:11
lordievaderFresh install?19:11
massiveblueinstalled today19:12
massivebluerebooted sometimes successfully19:12
lordievaderSo you did have the install running at some point?19:12
massivebluelast i wanted to switch to fglrx, because of video playback performance, and from there on i cant boot19:13
massiveblueyes, the system was running already19:13
lordievaderAfter installing fglrx could you still get into grub?19:14
massiveblueno19:14
lordievaderThat is very odd...19:14
massivebluethis grey screen isnt from my bios or sr, i think it is from grub!19:14
furkanwell i think installing fglrx does modify the grub config, does it not? because it needs to add the nomodeset option?19:15
lordievaderAre you in a live environment now?19:15
lordievaderfurkan: I may hope fglrx does not add that.19:15
lordievaderfurkan: fglrx has nothing to do with grub.19:15
massivebluei chat from my notebook, the non-booting machine is booted up to installer live cd19:15
lordievadermassiveblue: Right, just to be safe, could you pastebin the install's /boot/grub/grub.cfg?19:16
massivebluei remember that i installed microcde-package too19:16
massiveblueyes, give me some minutes19:16
massivebluehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10793909/19:23
massivebluedid i mention that this ubuntu-grome?19:25
lordievaderIs this zfs or something, the /@/ thing.19:26
furkanin an earlier pastebin it was showing btrfs for his main partition19:27
massivebluebtrfs19:27
lordievaderAh, I heard btfs was broken with the kernel Vivid has.19:28
massivebluethis notebook has vivid gnome btrfs too!19:29
lordievaderYeah, and that was about the kernel, not grub.19:29
lordievaderHowever I have no knowledge of BTRFS, or the caveats it has.19:30
massiveblueok, thank you19:30
lordievaderOne thing you could try is reinstalling grub from the chroot.19:31
furkanif you don't know how, you can use this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158109919:35
massivebluei reinstalled grub from internet followig the guide in this thread and it still does not boot. :(19:57
lordievadermassiveblue: Still no grub? (Also do you hold shift after the bios?)20:02
massiveblueholding shift gives me menu! and it boots after selecting default entry!!!20:03
massivebluethank you very much! but why is this?20:04
viKKKtorHI!20:07
viKKKtoranyone using Kubuntu Vivid?20:07
viKKKtorI'm haing a very horrible bug20:07
lordievadermassiveblue: Ah, so it probably wasn't grub. But the kernel you saw.20:08
lordievaderviKKKtor: I have it on my thinclient.20:08
massivebluegood bye, thank you for help20:16
furkanlordievader: i'm curious now, any explanation for that? what difference did it make that he manually selected the entry instead of letting it boot automatically?21:29
natacusAnyone been using Kubuntu 15.04 - would like to start using it now for my work - but should I wait?21:48
lordievaderfurkan: I don't know. But if grub automatically boots a ~broken kernel and when you get the menu you select something else... might explain things.23:13
