[00:03] Thanks soee [00:03] :D [00:05] np, enjoy Kubuntu 15.04 :) [00:06] I tried to enjoy 15.04 [00:07] :) [00:08] Had to go back to 14.04 [00:09] But I also quite like all the "Ghost" themeing I can do in 14.04 [01:39] Hello all. I'm trying to remove the plexmediaserver package, but it seems to have not been installed successfully. I'm on 15.04. Here is a pastebin of my removal. ==> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10966996/ [01:41] ewww [01:41] I'm wondering why sysvinit is in there at all [01:43] draikx: what happens if you `sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove` ? [01:43] perhaps that would clean up some of those bits [01:43] valorie, just a moment and I will report back. [01:45] Seems to be the same thing. [01:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10967022/ [01:47] so what does `apt show plexmediaserver` report? [01:47] I don't think that needs sudo [01:49] hmmm, a search doesn't even find that packagename [01:49] paste you the 15 lines, or pastebin it? [01:49] pastebin [01:49] you'll get auto-quieted with more than about 5 lines [01:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10967042/ [01:50] so you might try with -a as suggested [01:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10967046/ [01:52] lucid! [01:52] and you are on 15.04 you say [01:52] Correct. [01:53] that reports : APT-Sources: http://plex.r.worldssl.net/PlexMediaServer/ubuntu-repo/ lucid/main amd64 Packages [01:53] you might start by removing that source [01:53] looks like you installed by hand [01:53] Description: Ubuntu 15.04 [01:53] Release: 15.04 [01:53] Codename: vivid [01:53] OK, I can do that. [01:53] stream anywhere sounds cool though [01:53] It really is :) [01:54] (when it's working, of course) [01:54] sure, but that package -- seems it has not been packaged for awhile [01:54] !info plexmediaserver [01:54] Package plexmediaserver does not exist in vivid [01:54] Hmm. I don't seem to have that in /etc/apt/sources.list [01:56] how did you install it then? [01:57] I doubt purging would remove a source repo [01:58] !info plexmediaserver trusty [01:58] Package plexmediaserver does not exist in trusty [01:58] dpkg'd a deb, IIRC. [01:59] (been a while) [01:59] I wonder if dpkg --configure plexmediaserver would work? [02:00] since it seems to be half-configured [02:03] draikx: also notice this line: APT-Sources: /var/lib/dpkg/status [02:03] so check there too [02:05] Same error with "dpkg --configure plexmediaserver" [02:06] well, is it causing you problems? [02:06] I tried to upgrade it, and here I am. [02:06] ah [02:06] you can file a bug for an up-to-date package [02:07] you can package it yourself and put it in a PPA [02:07] dpkging debs seems rather dangerous [02:07] Went to plex.tv, downloaded the latest version (because I couldn't find it in the repos, so I guess it was dpkg'd last time, too), and when I went for the install, it gives me this issue. [02:08] if you really like it, it is worth doing either of the things I suggest above [02:08] I'll go with the former. [02:08] They just released a new version (which I'm trying to use), so it's probably on their radar, so I could add to whatever bug report I find. [02:09] But now, I just want to remove it so I can start over. [02:10] I hear ya [02:11] did you see my suggestion above re: APT-Sources: /var/lib/dpkg/status [02:11] from your pastebin [02:12] Oh, right. Sorry, didn't mean to ignore that. [02:12] Saw a suggestion online to remove that entry, which I did, and run apt-get update. [02:12] I did that, but no change. [02:12] I made a backup of it. [02:13] hmmm [02:13] you are sort of on your own, since it isn't an ubuntu package [02:13] but it seems like our tools should fix [02:14] Figured as much. Wanted to get some general tips/tricks to get around the nuking of the package. [02:14] I've Google'd just about every error it spits out, and no solution. That's when I came here. [02:14] valorie, thank you so much for the assist. Much appreciated :) [02:15] heh, all I did was sympathize [02:15] but you are welcome [02:15] :) [02:15] I've filed bugs for updated packages and gotten movement on them [02:15] so good luck [02:16] Hey folks. I installed apache2 and mysql on my system for some local development. I'd rather not have sql server and apache2 running when I'm not working on it. is sudo service mysql stop and sudo service apache2 stop sufficient enough? From a security perspective [02:16] valorie, and to answer your question, this is what I have in /var/lib/dpkg/status [02:16] Package: plexmediaserver [02:16] Status: purge ok half-configured [02:16] gah === it is now known as Guest21046 [02:17] gunndawg: you might want to ask that in apache and/or mysql chans [02:17] alis is your friend, if you don't know her [02:17] !alis [02:17] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

THANK YOU! [02:28] woah, very nice! [02:29] talk about forcing.... brute force [02:29] Right? [02:29] The power of sudo compels you. [02:31] exactly: sudo make me a sandwich [02:31] except I just had dinner and am not hungry [02:31] sudo apt-get make sammich [02:33] valorie, I owe you a sandwich. [02:33] heh [02:33] I'm glad you had success [02:34] I can share my Plex library with you, if that's any use to you. [02:34] no, I don't really watch movies and such on my computer [02:34] thanks for the offer though [02:47] No worries. Thanks again for the help.

[03:27] hi [03:28] any of us here awake? :) [03:28] * Etriaph is around, from time to time [03:29] oh cool [03:29] thanks :) [03:29] Etriaph: having a weiiiird issue withj SDDM on Kubuntu 15.04 [03:29] MobileRoey: That's natural. [03:29] :D [03:29] heh [03:29] What's the issue? [03:31] so it's like this... I start up the system in text mode (no X). Log in, type sddm to start the X/KDE session stack. Switch to ttty-7. Then I see a screen that looks like an SDDM login, but nothing past this. [03:31] and when I try to boot to X, [03:32] I see the SDDM login screen, but only a combobox for choosing desktop environments. Nothing else. [03:32] You can login from a tty? [03:33] at what point? [03:33] At any point, you can login text-only as your user, or as root? [03:33] I mean it's my machine I can become root whenever I need [03:33] I log in as my user [03:34] and start sddm [03:34] normally I would type startx, [03:34] but that apparently doesn't work anymore. [03:34] OK, so you can login in a text-based environment as *your* user [03:34] it gives me errors. [03:34] right [03:34] During installation if the creation of your user had failed then sddm wouldn't have a user list. [03:34] That's why I'm asking [03:35] hmm. [03:35] (Or maybe it wouldn't, anyway) [03:35] well it was an upgrade, from 14.10 -> 15.04. [03:35] Ya, I reinstalled for that leap. [03:35] is there a way to rebuild the sddm user list? [03:35] ahhh [03:35] Umm, I'd have to read about it. [03:35] (btw, upgrading ubuntu/kubuntu is always painful for me. Every tim.) [03:35] MobileRoey: have you done `systemctl restore sddm` [03:36] Ya, next time just install, but don't format the partition that /home is on [03:36] this solved problems for me [03:36] valorie: I was getting to that :D [03:36] valorie: I have not, what does that do? [03:36] btw hi :) [03:36] upgrades worked for me [03:36] hi roey [03:36] hmm. [03:36] I'll try that, then. [03:36] brb [03:36] restore somehow reconciles systemd and sddm [03:37] unknown why it is necessary sometimes [03:38] sorry for interrupting, Etriaph [03:38] I'm so grateful I don't ever have to setup XFree86 by hand anymore. [03:38] valorie: Oh, no problem :D [03:42] valorie: it says "Unknown operation 'restire'." [03:42] *restore [03:43] ? [03:43] very odd [03:43] that works for everyone [03:43] Etriaph: yeajh I'd like to install, BUT I setthe system up with BTRFS for /, /home, /arch, etc. as subvols (Kubuntu does it this way automatically). It'll nuke all the subvols if I try and reinstall it. [03:44] valorie: [03:44] typing systemctl re, I see: [03:44] reboot, reenable, reload, reload-or-restart, reload-or-try-restart, rescue, reset-failed, restart. [03:44] huh [03:45] try rescue? [03:45] I've not heard of that choice before [03:45] what does it say for you now? [03:45] rescue sddm is the most likely choice. [03:46] hmm. ok. [03:46] mn pwge just says it causes it to enter rescue mode [03:46] but doesn't talk about what it is. [03:48] Right now it's not working, this is a likely method to restore it to defaults or remove whatever's gumming it up. [03:49] ok. I'll try it then. [03:49] so I type: [03:49] sudo systemctl rescue sddm [03:50] Yup. [03:50] and it says: Invalid number of arguments. [03:50] no sudo [03:50] I tried both [03:51] did you use sudo above for restore? === mike_ is now known as emce [03:51] yes, and it also gave me "Unknown operation 'restore'." === emce is now known as mcemce [03:52] no sudo [03:52] this is for your user [03:52] not root [03:52] without sudo I get the same message. [03:52] most odd [03:53] are you doing this in a virtual console? [03:53] or in konsole [03:53] He can't login, graphically [03:53] SDDM isn't showing a user list [03:53] ah, missed that [03:54] I wonder if sudo was used earlier, and screwed up permissions? [03:54] why do people keep using sudo [03:54] habit. [03:54] There is that .kyasoca thing [03:54] in .cache [03:54] when it isn't necessary [03:54] rebuild ksycoca [03:55] sudo is just fine to use, but not for the GUI. [03:55] kdesudo should be used for GUI programs. [03:55] not when it is not needed [03:55] sudo changes permissions of user stuff [03:55] right. [03:55] kdesudo/sudo is another issue [03:55] So sudo chown -R me:me ~/ [03:55] Anyway but let's move past discussions of sudo--I thinkthe issue lies elsewhere [03:56] like someone mntioned, maybe the userlist for SDDM differs from the userlist in systemd [03:56] in the system, I mean, sorry. [03:57] Well in the user manager in system settings you can select which users are displayed and which ones are not [03:57] The avatars [03:57] Maybe that's not configured. [03:57] alright, which package should I check for? [03:57] so I just want to report that I get the same set of commands that MobileRoey does, from both konsole and the VT [03:58] thank you [03:59] MobileRoey: I've never encountered this specific issue before, it's certainly interesting. :D [04:04] If we could trick your system, via configuration on disk, to automatically login your user just to reach a desktop that's where my head is going. [04:05] MobileRoey: you can try `kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental` [04:06] can't hurt [04:06] might help [04:07] hi [04:08] how can I set up the date in iso 8601 format? like yyyy-mm-dd? [04:09] a lot of features from the locale settings are missing [04:10] arunce: Yup, I prefer 24 hour clock and it's not available atm as far as I've seen. [04:10] you are not alone, arunce: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=125160 [04:12] help is always welcome to report, fix, and test fixes [04:13] thank you for the link valorie [04:15] Etriaph: as do I [04:15] me too [04:18] my system locale are somewhat different from the desktop ones... what a mess. [04:27] I just watched a news story about the mess in Nepal -- locales are a mess, but this really is firstworldproblems === N3X15__ is now known as N3X15 [05:08] valorie: locales are a mess in 15.04 [05:09] no debate there, hyper_ch [05:09] I hope someone is in charge of cleaning them up, but I don't know that [05:09] there are a few bug reports online [05:09] sure [05:10] my terminal is german for some reason.... gimp is also german... rest is english as it should be [05:10] arunce: feel free to comment https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346759 [05:10] KDE bug 346759 in general "locale is one huge mess" [Normal,Resolved: duplicate] [05:10] lol [05:11] well, I'm not having problems, because I'm American [05:11] you would think that German locales would be in the best shape though [05:11] LANGUAGE=en_US:de [05:12] that's when I get when I type locale in the terminal [05:12] like me [05:12] and the debian way of fixing it - dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't do anything [05:12] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 for me [05:12] dolphin is showing yyyy-mm-dd and my clock is showing dd/mm/yy [05:12] dolphin is still kde4 [05:12] I see [05:13] arunce: what language does gimp show? [05:13] well, LANG=en_US.UTF-8 is also set there.. but LANGUAGE has that "de" in it for some strange reason [05:13] but how do I change that [05:13] english [05:14] this is the original bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340982 [05:14] arunce: I see.... [05:14] KDE bug 340982 in kcm_formats "I cannot set my short date to YYYY-MM-DD, nor my time to HH:MM" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [05:14] but your bug report title is much more dramatic, hyper_ch [05:14] this is so messed up [05:15] so, just to remind everyone again: help is always needed [05:15] valorie: I though I had in my list updated the bug url :) mine got marked as duplicate [05:15] s/dramatic/accurate/ [05:15] filing and commenting on bugs is great [05:15] fixing and testing fixes help even more [05:15] also another really, really annoying bug is that I can't resize Konsole... if I do, it freezes [05:15] ah, I use yakuake [05:16] sec [05:16] currently 16 bugs reported, 1 already fixed [05:17] http://pastebin.com/GVgjyjvF [05:17] I need to work those locales [05:17] arunce: you want to have paper set to US? [05:18] ya... that's strange [05:18] no i don't [05:18] and it wasn't [05:18] :) [05:20] btw, any of you having problems with the panels after disabling/enabling the compositor? (with shift+alt+F12) [05:21] what do you mean? [05:21] just try.. [05:22] nothing happens [05:22] maybe you will lose some functions, like transparency, widgets stop working with composite effects [05:23] I have that disabled anyway [05:23] I disable almost all effects [05:23] valorie: where to report bugs to the icon only task manager? [05:24] icon only task manager? what bug? [05:25] more a feature request... when you minimize windows there, then the icon turns grey.... but if it's icon-only and only having greyed out icons on the task bar makes it not very easy to see the correct icon again [05:26] i'm using dark breeze, had do rebuild the iconset [05:26] *to [05:26] breeze is just too much a wasted space IMHO [05:27] still unhappy how oxygen increased spacing also [05:27] because now I have to scroll my folder lists in kontact [05:28] I'm loving these flat themes [05:29] dark breeze worked great for me, and I love the new look [05:29] tastes differ [05:29] I miss glow [05:30] and dim inactive don't work for me [05:30] some loved it, and I lot loudly hated it [05:30] a lot [05:30] well, you could choose any other coulor [05:30] arunce: http://images.sjau.ch/img/8630cb25.png [05:31] oh, I don't like that spacing either [05:31] hyper_ch: that's hard [05:31] tiny icons, widely spread [05:31] have to agree there [05:31] so, gotta update some vms to Jessie [05:32] hyper_ch: did you try with the desktop effect "Background contrast"? [05:33] arunce: no I haven't.... I wanted to suggest to not completly grey-out icons in the icon-only task manager [05:35] kde4 icons are still colored [05:35] I use the icon-only [05:36] ktorrent arrow is still blue [05:39] taking a snapshot and found 2 bugs [05:39] one of them was captured [05:39] the last is a bit like matrix [05:44] https://cld.pt/dl/download/e516fe1e-6425-4966-ae84-298f1ee86238/20_Plasma.png [05:44] what are we looking at there? [05:45] the taken in 1 second shouln't appear [05:45] just to show the greyed out icons with dark breeze [05:45] ah [05:56] hello [05:57] hi xuechaokang, can we help? [06:59] Hi everyone, will the Plasma 5.3 Desktop also be released for regular Kubuntu 15.04 installations? (without enabling the backports repository) ANd if yes, when? [07:24] Mountain Daylight Time reads UTC-7 instead UTC-6 on the Desktop Clock -- LTS Precise KDE 4.85. Pacific, Mountain, Eastern and Atlantic Daylight Time renders their correct times. Where do I find a fix or report this bug? [07:29] tarator: it is in backports. It will not be part of 15.04 now that it is released, too late for that [07:30] iroh5: try `ubuntu-bug locale` in the commandline to file the bug [07:34] valorie: I am not sure if this is a known issue or a debian thing, or even how to search it out. googling it didnt help, so I thought to ask. Thanks. [07:43] hi some is online [07:44] i have problem [07:44] Hi. [07:45] Help, anybody? [07:45] help anybody [07:45] hehe, I'm a new Linux user. I'm trying to install something.

[07:48] or chmod+x xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run then ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run [07:48] the last 2 don't work. [07:49] I'll try another file, which I'm still downloading. [07:49] iroh5: Good. When you hover over the clock and scroll the mouse it should switch between all timezones you have set. [07:49] the executable bit isn't set so linux doesn't know its an executable file. [07:49] Alright, let me see the new file, please. [07:50] (The clock in the panel I mean) If you right click it and choose settings, you can choose the time zones [07:52] iroh5: sorry, was wrapping up an intense email [07:52] Linux-Uzer: https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_linux.html [07:52] I've not seen your precise problem reported, but it is def. a bug [07:52] chmod +x xampp-linux-5.6.8-0-installer.run <-- Doesn't work, nothing happened. [07:53] that just sets the exe bit now try ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run [07:53] ./xampp-linux-5.6.8-0-installer.run <--Works! but asking root priviliges. [07:53] run sudo ./xampp-linux-5.6.8-0-installer.run [07:54] WORKED! [07:54] Thanx! [07:54] a lot! [07:54] np [07:55] iroh5: ah, I asked the same question as alvin last time I saw you ask [07:55] but no reply -- so what is the output of `date` in a konsole? [07:56] It's there. His date is correct. That leaves out reconfiguring the tzdata [07:57] I've never seen trouble with the timezone in KDE, but it's possible to scroll the mouse wheel when over the clock and set the display to some other timezone by accident. [07:59] alvin: valorie: sorry, afk-- cat issues. I reinstalled tzdata using muon and that seems to have fixed the problem. [07:59] valorie: sorry, afk-- cat issues. I reinstalled tzdata using muon and that seems to have fixed the problem. [08:00] It did? Ok then. [08:01] Your timezone didn't recently change, dit it :-) If that happens, there's a tzdata update. [08:01] alvin: thanks it was driving me nuts. everytime zone except mine was on time. i even missed an appointment because of it. yes tzdata updated yesterday or the day before. [08:02] * alvin goes back to preparing for the leap second. Storing more grain, water. Don't forget salt. [08:02] hahaha [08:02] lol [08:03] valorie: thanks also for your help. [08:05] you are welcome, but all I did was try [08:09] i used to do light tech support for an unnamed conglomerate that didnt have the best manners, so when peops are online to lend a hand gratis i think its important to let them know they are appreciated. === cup`ocoffee is now known as cup`ocoffie [08:34] hi, do you recommend OpenGL 3.1 over 2 for compositor backend? [08:37] Champion_The: I've been running with OpenGL 3.1 on the fglrx driver without any issues. I guess the older OpenGL backends are there as an alternative in case your driver is buggy [08:37] yeah but it is by default === cup`ocoffie is now known as cup-o-coffee === cup-o-coffee is now known as cupocoffee === cupocoffee is now known as cup`ocoffee [08:39] buggy by default? of course it is :-) [08:41] yeah I changed it, and OpenGL interface [08:41] which one is better? [08:41] GLX / EGL? [08:42] the recommendation would be driver-dependent, I guess... [08:43] GLX is older, as far as I know [08:44] try EGL. If it fails, revert to GLX [08:45] I have intel HD 4400 [08:48] driver=i915 [08:48] ok I'll try it :D [08:49] x support egl? [08:49] I think not [08:49] yeah it's there [08:49] Kubuntu 15.04 [08:50] arunce: It does, according to http://www.mesa3d.org/egl.html [08:50] nice [08:52] EGL is not supported by all OpenGL drivers. If not supported the Compositor will be disabled. [08:52] a message :D [08:54] decorations sometimes crash when i change those settings. [09:03] looks like it works for me [09:03]
