Kamilionman, it'd be nice if people would stop leaving before I had a chance to notice and help.00:16
* ianorlin agrees00:16
wxlhey you two, this channel is for support!!!00:16
KamilionI would have tried to support Ahmuck's missing battery icon, and talsamon's zswap issue, but they left.00:17
wxli know, i was kidding00:18
Kamilioni am sort of amused at jay38478's password questions.00:18
wxl!patience | maybe we should respond to people immediately with00:18
ubottumaybe we should respond to people immediately with: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/00:18
KamilionI hope he found the documentation.00:18
talsamonKamilion, sorry a friend tell me, you have answered, i tested something01:44
talsamonit seems systemd has overwritten with his own partitions my swap, so I had no chance01:45
=== len is now known as Guest90905
Kamilionoh01:54
Kamiliontalsamon: o/01:54
Kamiliontalsamon: so, there's two options you can go down; A: removing zswap, or B: swapoff & reformat the swap partition.01:56
Kamilionreally depends if you wanna keep it or not01:57
Kamiliontalsamon: so, there's two options you can go down; A: removing zswap, or B: swapoff & reformat the swap partition. Really depends on if you want to keep zswap or not.02:00
talsamonKamilion, and now it was the daily disconnect from my provider, I download a live-cd and hope i could burn it with the tmpfs from systemd without swap and try to resize the partitions02:01
Kamiliongrub2 can loopload from ISOs.02:01
Kamilionhttps://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-deploy/blob/master/resources/buildscripts/xengrub.cfg   Here are some examples.02:02
Kamilionthe second menuentry is likely the one you would want to attempt to copy from02:03
KamilionI stress however, it is an example, you will have to edit it slightly and remove some of the options that do not apply02:04
talsamonKamilion, don't really know what zswap is , I never seen before, I think I had to accept it, its in the kernel02:05
Kamilionhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10875643/02:06
Kamilionit is a kernel module; yes, but it is stored in an optional .deb that may be removed if wanted02:06
Kamilionthe name of the package is 'zram-config'02:08
Kamilionif you apt-get purge zram-config, the problem should go away02:08
Kamilionzram/zswap is a method of compressing virtual memory02:09
talsamonkamillon no I have deinstalled this, but the warnings were still there , this is only the zram-config not zram02:09
Kamiliondid you 'remove' or 'purge' ?02:09
talsamonpurge02:09
Kamilionodd, that should have removed /lib/systemd/system/zram-config.service02:10
Kamilionoh, you said you updated, right?02:10
talsamonI upgraded from 14.10 few hours ago02:10
Kamilionfrom 14.10? Did you have a previous version before 14.10?02:10
talsamonyes02:11
Kamilionhmm02:11
talsamonI think I will try to resize the partitions02:12
KamilionI'm unsure what you need to do to format the swap partition02:12
KamilionI believe the process would be something like, use gnome-disks or gparted to right click and 'format as' type 'swap'02:12
Kamilionthen opening a terminal, running 'blkid' to get the new identifier, and updating /etc/fstab to match02:13
Kamilionthe latter part is more important, otherwise it will not be used unless you manually issue 'swapon /dev/sda502:13
Kamilionlet's see if I can track down the proper mkswap command for you02:14
talsamonok, the way to resize it would not the problem, the problem is how much place I need , I can't be sure that systemd takes more space after this .. and if it works well02:15
KamilionOH02:15
KamilionOK, I have read the script /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping which is called by the systemd job02:16
Kamilionhttp://puu.sh/hoICR/0297029f46.jpg02:17
KamilionI think THIS is the mkswap that is failing with the error message that it must be 40KB or larger02:17
talsamon Calculate memory to use for zram (1/2 of ram)02:17
Kamilionbelow that, where I highlight mkswap02:18
KamilionI think that is the command causing your error02:18
Kamilionand we can see that is "mkswap /dev/zram${DEVNUMBER}"02:18
Kamilionthus, changing your sda5 swap will not make the error go02:18
talsamonseems logical, thanks02:19
Kamilionok, so simple solution02:19
Kamilionapt-get install zram-config02:19
Kamilionapt-get purge zram-config02:19
Kamilionit is evident that some remnants of the package have remained02:19
Kamilionso put the package back and force it to remove it again, that has helped me a few times in the past.02:20
Kamilionthis should also remove the /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping and /usr/bin/end-zram-swapping scripts02:20
KamilionAFK ~10min02:21
talsamonok, i try and reboot it, will back in a few minutes02:22
Kamilionany luck?02:27
talsamonKamilion, don't no swap is not mounted02:32
talsamon'/know/no/02:32
talsamonnow only one message from zram ureadahead:/usr/bin/init-zram-swapping: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (file not found)02:33
holsteinso, you have swap?02:34
talsamonon 14.10 a had a swap on /dev/sda502:35
holsteinso, you cant mount swap now?02:35
holsteinwhat errors do you get when you try mounting manually?02:35
talsamonswapon: /dev/sda5: swapon fehlgeschlagen: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt  (device busy)02:36
holsteinis it busy because its already mounted? and being used as swap?02:36
talsamonmount: mount point none does not exist02:36
talsamonmount|grep swap02:36
talsamonno output02:36
holsteintalsamon: so, is it that the mount point you are specifying doesnt exist? or that its busy? or both?02:37
talsamonetc/fstab -->02:37
talsamon# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation02:37
talsamonUUID=6350cb6c-6bd3-4154-b012-f57266eb77a1 none            swap    sw02:37
holsteinsure, so is that still formatted as swap? if so, try mounting it manually02:38
talsamonif its busy I don't know, I believe the tmpfs-partition of systemd had captured it02:38
holsteini might just fire up a live iso, and look at my partition sructure02:38
Kamilioncheck 'free -h' to see if swap is non zero02:38
talsamonpartitions02:38

talsamonAuslagerungsdatei:       2,5G         0B       2,5G02:39
holsteinfrom the live iso, i can then reformat the swap, or, shrink something and make a new one02:39
talsamonAuslagerungsdatei = swap02:39
Kamilionlooks like your swap is enabled.02:39
holsteinyup.. looks like you may just be reading messages, which, are not a big deal02:39
Kamilionshould be good to go once ureadahead figures things out02:39
Kamilionone or two reboots and that message from ureadahead should go away02:40
Kamilionif my understanding of how ureadahead works is accurate02:40
holsteineven if it doesnt, it shouldnt matter02:40
holsteinmessages are just that.. not bad, necessarily02:40
Kamilionhe was getting an error from zswap02:40
Kamilion[16:31:40] <talsamon> hallo I have upgraded some hours ago to 15.04 on my i686-pc. got this:init-zram-swapping[689]: mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB, zram-config.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a, Failed to start Initializes zram swaping02:41
holsteinKamilion: yeah, i read the scroll back before responding, but, thanks02:41
Kamilionk02:41
Kamilionit was pretty far back.02:41
Kamilionand sort of odd that he had to reinstall the package to purge it fully.02:41
Kamilionbut looks like everything is operating within normal parameters now02:42
talsamonkamilion, you think its ok now?02:43
Kamilionaye, your swap is mounted, and empty.02:43
holsteinyou can check and see that its ok02:44
talsamonbut I don't see it if in the mount output02:45
talsamonwithout if..02:45
holstein22:39 < talsamon> Auslagerungsdatei:       2,5G         0B       2,5G02:45
Kamilionswap is not a normal type of mount02:45
Kamilionit does not show in mtab thus, mount will not list it02:45
Kamilionudisksctl status might02:46
holsteinyou can also use a live iso, boot it on your system, and run something like gparted, and see what is going on, and how things are mounted, and make sure things are as you want02:46
Kamilionbut I think that just shows devices, not partitions02:46
holsteinor, try gparted now02:46
Kamilionalways annoys me slightly that gparted is removed when installation completes02:46
holsteinits usually one of the first things i install02:47
Kamilionsame.02:48
talsamongparted listed the swap02:48
Kamilionwhen it's not around, i use gnome-disks, but it doesn't feel as comfortable to me, as a technical user.02:48
Kamilionif gnome-disks could resize partitions, that would probably move me over to useing it primarily.02:49
holsteini rarely resize anything from a running normal system, anyway02:50
KamilionI resize USB drives often02:50
Kamilioninternal drives, not so much02:50
holsteinive probably done it twice, in 20 years, or ever how long they have been making usb sticks/drives02:51
Kamilionbut this is a topic for -devel not for support02:51
holsteinKamilion: there is an offtopic.. thats basically *-support for lubuntu02:51
Kamilionand so, I return to silence until the next person arrives.02:51
dust:)02:54
dustu did a nice support :)02:55
talsamonKamilion, very thanks for your patient and fine explanation, very nice ;-))03:16
Kamiliontalsamon: no problem; enjoy your desktop :D03:19
talsamonkamilion, I hope it will work, ... I am not really sure03:23
talsamonsigh rsync -v user@host:/any/path/to/anywhere /another/path   rsync: connection unexpectedly closed rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) - never before on any system03:55
talsamonjust the normal rsync command....03:55
talsamonoh that was my fault04:01
Kamilionheh04:07
KamilionThanks for admitting that; I've gone on wild goose chases just cause someone was too afraid to admit fault04:07
talsamon;-))04:17

fil10_hello guys. have question about lubuntu. can i ask you?06:20
orakarHey guys! My terminal bell sound isn't working (trying to make irssi beep when I'm mentioned). Any idea how to turn it on other than just in the terminal's edit menu?11:29
aladiahiam upgrading from Lubuntu 14.10 to 15, during upgrading it ask me if i want to keep or replace the personalized file config /etc/mime.types   whats is this ? i should rpelace ? what i will lose ?12:06
chokiianorlin: it is just a file which handles what application opens from which filetype.12:22
aladiahchoki that message was for me ?12:25
chokialadiah: oh yeah12:26
chokisorry that12:26
chokiwait12:26
chokialadiah: it is how i said, i would not much worry about that file. it just handles which application opens for example for files like .txt or .mp3 files12:27
aladiahiam trying to backup the file  and i cant because console aspect is strange not normal . maybe because iam during installation . this dont work sudo cp /etc/mime.types /etc/mime.types.backup12:27
aladiahchoki t the details it give me is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10878176/12:28
chokialadiah: yeah it is kinda same for me.12:28
aladiahi should say to replace then ?12:29
chokialadiah: i would better backup to an usb stick12:29
aladiahwhere i can find it in graphic mode ?12:29
chokior even better i wouldnt care about this file :D12:29
aladiahin wich folder i can find it in grphic mode ?12:29

SaikoroHello13:52
zombiehoffadoh. I upgraded and now my lxpanel that was previously at the bottom of my lower monitor is at the bottom of my top monitor. I change the edge geometry in panel prefences (what worked before) and it just moved the panel around the top display16:38
zombiehoffais lxqt ready for prime time yet?16:55
suncokretwill lxde will be developed in future?19:32
geniiAs far as we know.19:38
suncokretdoes LXDE still develope now?19:39
wxlsuncokret: barely.19:41
geniisuncokret: Of course. https://github.com/LXDE shows for instance the latest change was about 7 hours ago19:41
wxli mean bug fixes and things are happening19:41
wxlbut new features? vast, and sweeping changes? probably not19:41
wxland honestly "lxde" on github is mostly lxqt19:42
wxlgit.lxde.org is a better view of the project as a whole19:42
wxladditionally there are an increasingly limited number of developers for lxde. they're mostly focusing their attention on lxqt.19:43
wxlif it's not clear, though, the future is uncertain. there are no plans that i know of to remove lxde from the repos, even when lubuntu is full-on lxqt.19:44
wxlyour latest lubuntu is lxde, suncokret, so enjoy it! :)19:45
suncokretand tell me, in future if lubuntu go to lxqt, and we use lxde from repos, will we can use all programs19:45
suncokret?19:45
wxlthat's a strange question. if you mean with only gtk and not qt libraries, no. if we use qupzilla for a browser, you'll need qt libraries to use it. of course, you can always use something else.19:46
wxlthe thing you need to realize is that each flavor is a collection of components that are meant to and have been tested to work together.19:47
wxlyou can change things if you want, and each package is supported individually, but it's a little less clear how they will work together.19:47
wxlyou can get support for such potential bugs, but it may be had to replicate the bug without a clea understanding of the makeu of your system.19:48
wxlfor example, we recently got a report from an ubuntu user who is using lxde but with lxdm. i don't know any flavor using lxdm, so it makes it difficult to know how to replicate and fix19:48
wxldoes that make sense, suncokret ?19:49
wxlif it's an consolation to you, lubuntu's goal is still being as lightweight as possible. currently, i think lxqt has a bit more overhead than lxde but it's a little early in development, really, and we will work to make the change to make it equally if not better than lxde at resource usage.19:49
wxli mean we're the only flavor left with an alternate installer. the reason for this is because we expect low-end machines to be our targets. even though it has tons of difficulties for us, it's important that we continue to offer it as part of our commitment to being lightweight/low-resource19:51
wxlthat being said, i'm going to go back to reading. need anything else?19:51
wxlsuncokret: ^19:52
* wxl disappears19:52
suncokreti understand... now also some programs need qt libraries to work, and with this libraries they work in lxde... so in future, we will can use that programs in lxde too?19:53
ianorlinsuncokret: yes they will work but they could make things heavier19:54
suncokretand gtk aplications will work?19:55
ianorlinyes19:55
suncokretdid you have problems to install some applications from synaptic?19:58
