[00:03] <rosco_y> Software Updater tells me that "The package system is broken: run following command: apt-get install-f", I run 'apt-get install-f' which gives me: E: Invalid operation install-f, What should I do?
[00:09] <SJr> How do I update my Intel graphics driver is Kubuntu 14.04?
[01:10] <[Relic]> 15.04 stable enough to use now?  or still a lot of new version bugs?
[03:55] <SJr> How do I update my kernel in and intel video card driver in Kubuntu 14.04.2
[03:56] <SJr> Basically my problem is that Kubuntu 14.10 is going out of service in 3 months, Kubuntu 15.04 is buggy on my laptop, and Kubuntu 14.04 has rendering issues.
[04:23] <valorie> SJr: please try one at a time
[04:23] <valorie> there is probably a PPA for an updated kernel; you might check with #ubuntu-kernel for advice about that
[04:23] <SJr> okay thanks
[04:24] <hyper_ch> SJr: you could just go to 15.10 :)
[04:24] <valorie> there are PPAs for video drivers as well
[04:24] <valorie> hyper_ch: yes, I think we roll an ISO already
[04:24] <SJr> Yeah I couldn't find any that worked
[04:25] <hyper_ch> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/
[04:27] <hyper_ch> will wily have 4.x.x kernel?
[04:34] <valorie> no idea; and that's not up to us
[04:34] <valorie> the experts live in #ubuntu-kernel
[04:35] <hyper_ch> well, just a couple of nasty bugs currently in 4 reagrding dm-crypt as well as ext4
[05:31] <hangman13us> Can someone help me with the activation and usage of the Windows Key (between FN and ALT). I'd like to use it instead of ALT+F1 to open my menu. I found a topic for Ubuntu, but it doesn't work for me (Kubuntu15.04). Maybe there are other ways...
[05:33] <valorie> hangman13us: afaik it can only be used with other keys
[05:33] <valorie> not alone
[05:35] <hangman13us> So it I manage to get it to work it will be Win+Something just as ALT+F1... which somehow make the whole try a bit pointless... I though I can use it they way I used in in Windows environment...
[05:37] <hangman13us> But currently it is totally inactive - even if I try to include it as alternative shortcut, it doesn't recognize it as button at all. Which is a bit odd to me...
[05:37] <valorie> hmmm
[05:38] <valorie> there is an xkey program or something
[05:39] <hangman13us> I was reading this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/
[05:39] <valorie> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg
[05:39] <valorie> has a few alternatives
[05:39] <hangman13us> But it doesn't work on my PC. I will see if I can get something on this xkey stuff.
[09:36] <igor__> hi all
[09:36] <igor__> is anyone online
[09:40] <uwe> hallo, ich habe ubuntu  und seit ein paar Tagen habe ich im Internet automatische,ungewollte "tracky umschaltungen zu irgentwelche werbeseiten. Hilfe, was kann ich tun?
[09:42] <xennex81> hi folks
[09:46] <xennex81> I need a little advice I think
[09:47] <xennex81> on how to setup my computer, and which version of Kubuntu to use
[09:47] <xennex81> but I see blueskay is not around ;-).
[10:00] <ussher_> I like kubuntu 14.04 because the next update Im scheduled for is 16.04  its a long term support release.  If you like upgrading, go for 15.04 its next release is in october 15.10
[10:14] <xennex81> I am looking for something stable also, and I'm not sure the 15.04 madness will provide that at all times
[10:14] <xennex81> on the other hand, I feel like upgrading to 15.10 straight away
[10:14] <xennex81> but I'm not even sure that is a good idea
[10:15] <xennex81> 14.10 was my distribution of choice but it is said to be no longer supported...
[10:15] <xennex81> which is kinda odd, but perhaps not an issue
[10:16] <xennex81> I am hoping to install it alongside Windows 7 or Windows 8, but my Windows 7 has this bad activation (illegal copy) and Windows 8 I have legal but I don't like it so much
[10:16] <xennex81> I currently have 15.04 installed here
[10:17] <xennex81> I have taken 140GB off the harddisk and put an LVM in there, gave 12GB to the root, and put the rest in swap and home
[10:18] <xennex81> root now has 5.5GB free and I think it will hold out for a while, but I can always add swap to it
[10:19] <xennex81> I just want a stable solution with Windows and Linux both installed and workable
[10:20] <xennex81> I'm thinking I may want to go with 14.10 anyway but currently I have this installed and it is fine for the moment (15.04)
[10:20] <xennex81> have to go, be back later
[11:02] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:03] <madmouser1> xennex81: If you want to go / stay with an old release ensure it is a LTS release else you will run into not supported and update issues.
[11:05] <BluesKaj> madmouser1, that's not entirely true
[11:05] <madmouser1> But for a "general" guidance it is the best option ..
[11:08] <BluesKaj> 14.10 is more stable than 14.04 IME including updates and upgrades
[11:18] <aart3k> Hi, I've just updated to Plasma 5.3 on Kubuntu 15.04 and after logging in it freezes on the progressbar - any ideas?
[11:20] <BluesKaj> progressbar ?
[11:24] <Clandestina> Buenas. Estoy intentando actualizar mi version de kubuntu y no quiere, ni con Moun Discover, ni ejecutando comandos
[11:24] <Clandestina> con $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:24] <Clandestina> ni $ do-release-upgrade
[11:25] <Clandestina> me dice que no encuentra la nueva version, pero ya ha salido... alguien sabe que mas puedo probar, o donde puedo buscar informacion para actualizar?
[11:31] <BluesKaj> !es | Clandestina
[11:32] <Clandestina> ups, es verdad, tambien estoy alli, me he equivocado al marcar el canal, merci
[11:33] <BluesKaj> de nada
[15:22] <PasNox> Hi, I'm using recent kubuntu kf5/kde4 and I get conflicts between kwalettd5 / kwaletd (kde4), when conflcit appear, many applicaion don't respond , like can't openinig system settings, IM account configuration etc. any ideas ?
[15:23] <PasNox> strangely, when starting those apps from terminal, they do starts :/
[15:23] <PasNox> but from kickoff / desktop they don't
[15:27] <xennex81> BluesKay, what would you say? In my better moments I vow to go with Windows 8 on the dual boot option. I have a 500 GB harddisk with 70GB dedicated to Windows, 140 GB to Kubuntu and 256GB is reserved for data (personal files, music, video). I want a stable dual boot at this point. The size for Kubuntu is for installing some games (Diablo 3, Borderlands 2, perhaps WoW). Windows won't need so much. Data should be shared in between. Nothing is encrypted at
[15:27] <xennex81> this point. Grub will be (obviously) the loader of both. Encryption and grub is difficult although I could encrypt the Linux install, to what avail I don't know. The Linux is in an LVM with 3 partitions, root, swap and home. Root is 12GB, I have no space dedicated to another root (for e.g. another Kubuntu) but it is easy to accomplish at the end of the home partition.
[15:28] <xennex81> I have had pains coming up with a decent "sharing home" configuration between several Kubuntus, because of the .kde directories (and .cache, and so on) being shared between installs which would give trouble.
[15:29] <xennex81> I could go that route and introduce an overlay where .cache and .kde are taken from a dedicated volume, or placed upon the root filesystem, and /home is actually overlayed with that root filesystem.
[15:29] <xennex81> aufs actually does that quite well and is easy to setup although the manual page is a horror
[15:30] <xennex81> (but it gets rather complicated like this).
[15:30] <xennex81> (Currently I have Kubuntu 15.04 installed and currently I just vow to stay with it, not do any backports, and just see whether the updates break anything (hopefully not).)
[15:32] <xennex81> BluesKaj: my question is really whether you would suggest I stick to 15.04 now or do another fresh install and get 14.10 running for quite some time still until 15.10 comes out perhaps.
[15:35] <xennex81> the biggest gripe I have with Kubuntu (or 15.04) is that Dolphin might be too weak in the knees (or leave me weak in the knees) for lack of quality.
[15:42] <MoonUnit`> annoying dolphin problem for me is moving files, click and drag, doesn't move, click and drag, doesn't move, click and drag, decides to move the file.
[15:42] <BluesKaj> 15.04 will probly have dolphin problems for a while, so fi you're not willing to put up with it's shortcomings then IMO 14.10 might be the solution, xennex81
[15:43] <xennex81> the only downside to that is that I won't be able to contribute to bugfixes or bugreports or the like
[15:44] <BluesKaj> i reluctantly switched to 15.04 on my "stable hdd' , and now I regret it, xennex81, I'm still thinking of switching back
[15:45] <xennex81> right @BluesKaj
[15:46] <BluesKaj> I'm using a couple of older hdds , one for 15.10 and othe is my supposed stable drive
[15:47] <BluesKaj> actually 15.10 is less glitchy than 15.04 atm
[15:47] <xennex81> right
[15:48] <xennex81> I'll think about it.... it means another whole install, not that I've installed much, but a few things..
[15:49] <BluesKaj> xennex81, but you do have a / and /home directory?
[15:49] <xennex81> yes
[15:49] <BluesKaj> then switching back should be easy enoughj
[15:50] <xennex81> I'm just reluctant to do so, perhaps moving to 15.10 would even be better?
[15:50] <xennex81> but I want to hold that off
[15:50] <BluesKaj> I'm not familiar witj lvm stuff tho
[15:51] <xennex81> lvm is easy, for me at least
[15:51] <BluesKaj> xennex81, yeah if you have critical data then it's understandable
[15:51] <xennex81> not really, or at least, not here now
[15:51] <xennex81> there is a backup on a Synology nas hdd
[15:52] <xennex81> I have to go buy some food, be back later.. (in a while)
[15:52] <xennex81> and I need to log off to see if the Oxygen icons will catch on, so brb
[15:52] <BluesKaj> never has any reason to use lvm, and I like to keep things simple
[15:52] <xennex81> yeah
[15:52] <xennex81> I like how I can just shrink a partition like that and add a new one
[15:55] <xennex81> bah
[15:55] <xennex81> bah
[15:55] <xennex81> I still have Breeze icons in the system tray
[15:56] <xennex81> bbl
[15:58] <BluesKaj> i thought lvm made it simple to resize partitions even when they're mounted in use
[16:22] <xennex81> I don't know about resizing while in use.... BluesKaj
[16:23] <xennex81> but you can resize (shrink) non-vital partitions while they are in use
[16:23] <xennex81> or grow
[16:24] <xennex81> and then you can add new partitions on the fly
[16:48] <xennex81> which is quite handy @BluesKaj
[17:01] <phoenixz> xennex81: 14.10 should still be supported btw, IIRC for 18 months total, so still about a year before support is dropped
[17:05] <BluesKaj> !vivid
[17:06] <BluesKaj> !utopic
[17:09] <genii> Hopefully they keep the repo up for Utopic until July 30 when Alpha 2 for Wily comes
[17:10] <BluesKaj> hmm forgot that support has dropped to 9mos for non  LTS releases
[17:12] <genii> BluesKaj: I'm on Utopic now. Will probably do-release-upgrade to Vivid just before EOL
[17:21] <xennex81> hmm
[17:26] <johngreco> http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86 Hi! is it possible to install this on my Ubuntu 14.04 x64?
[17:36] <xennex81> i have these breeze icons in the taskbar systemtray and they are hideous
[17:36] <xennex81> i can hardly distinguish them from each other because they are without colour
[17:37] <xennex81> even when I have selected Oxygen icons
[17:37] <xennex81> but 14.10 was not without its problems, on my laptop it had a real bad CPU hog in the plasma-desktop component
[17:38] <xennex81> requiring or even mandating me to log out every few minutes
[17:38] <xennex81> basically
[18:12] <xennex81> hey how can I determine the locking behaviour of the standby-timer when I am idle?
[18:12] <xennex81> I don't want the screen to lock so often
[18:12] <xennex81> in 15.04
[18:14] <xennex81> oh found it
[19:05]  * Ethoscience pira
[19:09] <BluesKaj> .
[19:19] <willy_> hi
[19:24] <Guest47271> Since I updated today I get the error KDEInit could not launch /usr/bin/kate
[19:24] <Guest47271> Any idea?
[19:24] <check1> hmm
[19:25] <check1> no
[19:25] <check1> why dont you try openSuSE13.2? .. no issues
[19:25] <rattking> check logs for segfaults I suppose.. That happened to me a few days ago
[19:26] <genii> Guest47271: try launching it from Konsole and see if there are any more informative output
[19:28] <Guest47271> genii: Starting kate from the console does not produce the error. The error only comes when I open a text file by double clicking and then when I close it the error comes up: "sorry ... KDEinit could not launch ...
[19:32] <Guest47271> Just fixed the problem by re-associating the file with kate.
[20:09] <BadLuckRyan> How come Kubuntu installs on my laptop with the alternate version but not the desktop version?
[20:09] <genii> Alternate has additional drivers
[20:10] <BadLuckRyan> Oh ok so do you know how I'd get the desktop one to work?
[20:11] <genii> You would have to dump the list of drivers the alternate is using with lsmod, then get to commandline on the desktop install one, and modprobe the missing ones
[20:12] <BadLuckRyan> Sounds out of my league
[20:12] <genii> But this might or might not work, if they aren't there to begin with then trying to load them of course won't help
[21:01] <hackerboy> Hi
[21:26] <BadLuckRyan> Xubuntu 14.10 installation hangs at the loading screen using liveUSB. Anyone know the issue?
[22:24] <dewar> hello , can some one help. I have mixxx 1.12 beta and want to roll back to 1.11. how can I do this?
[22:26] <dewar> ah, hold a sec i think i fixed it may bad
[22:43] <Ninjahmahs> anyone any good with customising bookmarked folder icons?
[22:50] <genii> !info mixxx vivid
[22:52] <Ninjahmahs> mixx is epic
[22:52] <genii> dewar: To install a specific version, like for instance the one the bot says, it would be: sudo apt-get install mixxx=1.11.0-dfsg-4build1
[22:52] <Ninjahmahs> i love it
[22:53] <genii> dewar: You can find what versions are available with: apt-cache policy mixxx
[22:54] <Ninjahmahs> genii are you anygood with custom icon stuff?
[22:54] <genii> Ninjahmahs: Not particularly
[22:54] <Ninjahmahs> dam
[22:55] <Ninjahmahs> im really trying to figure out how to get a folder i bookmark to have its own custom icon in the bookmark pane in file manager
[22:56] <Ninjahmahs> the only guide iv seen so far that looks like it could work is to kind of mask one of the default directories like downloads or videos and then assign that the image i want and so on
[22:56] <Ninjahmahs> but thats really sloppy
[22:58] <genii> Ninjahmahs: If you assign a custom icon to it on the left with rightclick...Edit 'Foldername' ... it doesn't use that in other views after?
[22:58] <Ninjahmahs> no
[22:58] <genii> Yes, that's sort of counter-intuitive
[22:59] <Ninjahmahs> that basically is down to some config file that iv been kind of tracking down
[22:59] <Ninjahmahs> essentially the default bookmark directories have some sort of "assignment" in some file or other and i think they have images in areas that also have like utf-8 code that couples with it
[23:00] <Ninjahmahs> in all honesty its not like its a major deal but its bugging the hell out of me XD
[23:01] <Ninjahmahs> like basically iv found some information around xdg-user-dir which is to do with assigning default directories like downloads and stuff
[23:01] <Ninjahmahs> but im quickly lost from therein
[23:02] <genii> Ninjahmahs: I wonder if they use some convention like how home folder will use a graphic if it's a file in there called .face.icon
[23:04] <Ninjahmahs> yeah it kind of works like that
[23:05] <Ninjahmahs> https://developer.gnome.org/icon-theme-spec/
[23:05] <Ninjahmahs> http://askubuntu.com/questions/29630/custom-icon-in-places-menu
[23:05] <Ninjahmahs> these are like the best 2 sources of information i have found on the issue so far
[23:06] <Ninjahmahs> with the second link basically getting you to take a default directory that doesnt see much use and kind of hack it in to be the folder name you want and change its default icon
[23:06] <Ninjahmahs> i could do that, but im looking to try and figure a way to do it properly as im sure there would be a way
