naftilos76I installed kubuntu 15.04 and my nfs shares on a synology server need to be manually mounted in order to be accessed. The same fstab entries were in my last kubuntu 14.04 and worked fine. Has anything changed in 15.04 regarding fstab?08:00
naftilos76*I have installed nfs-common package which is required for accessing nfs shares08:01
naftilos76Can anybody think of anything that i should check?08:02
naftilos76Has 15.04 had any issues mounting nfs shares in fstab?08:15

onebitxajaxhi all , i got a lil question to ask13:01
onebitxajax i am using lts kubuntu, and the system getting very slow after 8-10 hours of work, i need reboot to get it back normal13:02
onebitxajaxsomeoen can tell me why this can happen?13:02
lordievaderHow is the memory usage after 8-10 hours?13:04
onebitxajaxlordievader: i have 4gb and sometime it hit 4 than calm down. I need close firefox and chrome and open them again to free mem13:05
onebitxajaxbut after that, system became incredibly slow13:05
onebitxajaxi need reboot even if ram usage its very low13:05
lordievaderHmm, sounds a bit like swap. How does vmstat output look when it is very slow?13:13
mr-richkununtu 14.04 latest updates: xorg seems to be eating up all the memory after running a few days. slowly consumes all 16GB then swap until system won't respond ... any ideas?14:21

mr-richBluesKaj: That's what I'm thinking ... but how to stop it?14:23

ubottuUbuntu bug 1314787 in fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) "Memory leak" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:31
mr-richBluesKaj: dammit ... it's the kernel ...14:57
mr-richBluesKaj: when I first installed 14.04, I had to install kernel 3.14 because video didn't even work ... after a while I switched back to 3.13 so I could get the kernel updates from ubuntu ...14:58
BluesKajmr-rich, yeah suspected it was as described in the bug summary14:58
mr-richBluesKaj: worked a long while .... but I guess I'll have to switch back to 3.14 again ... and I already deleted it ...14:59
BluesKajmr-rich, what about a newer kernel ?15:01
naftilos76Hi everyone, i bought a laptop and i am having issues with the nvidia 840M graphics. There are two graphics boards (1) VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09) & (2) 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 840M] (rev a2) . I am at the point right after a fresh install of kubuntu 14.04. No updates were installed. I have only connected through wifi to be able to connect to the inernet. The issue is15:11
naftilos76that i am getting a trembling of everything shown on the lcd. This happens only in graphics mode but not in text mode which would be while selecting options in during grub menu. I have seen a few things like adding repo "ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa" or installing nvidia drivers from the defaiult repos. I prefer the nouveau driver because the boot is nicer. The driver manager shows nothing. In other installations of 14.04 i used to see a list of nvidia drivers15:11
naftilos76and the nouveau at thevery bottom. Can anybody suggest how i should proceed. It is very tiring to keep my eyes on this lcd.15:11
naftilos76BluesKaj: Can i pls have your opinion on this?15:12
naftilos76I have tried to check what pkgs are installed regarding graphs and this is what i get after doing dpkg -l | grep nouveau:15:16
naftilos76ii  libdrm-nouveau2:amd64                       2.4.56-1~ubuntu2                      amd64        Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime15:16
naftilos76ii  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-lts-utopic       1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2~trusty1             amd64        X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver15:16
naftilos76After doing dpkg -l | grep nvidia i got nothing so it is clear that nouveau is the selected driver at the moment15:17
naftilos76I suspect that this is clearly a matter of vertical or horizontal refresh. I installed kubuntu 15.04 and the grapchis were fine.15:18
BluesKajhybrid graphics setups like Optimus with 2 gpus , usually intel and nvidia are problematic on kubuntu, but I have seen users manage their setups with nvidia-prime. naftilos7615:19
BluesKajnaftilos76, you might get somewhere with the suggestions here , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220743115:20
naftilos76BluesKaj: Thank you. I saw a few links about nvidia-prime. I will have a try. I will also have a look at your link. Thanks again.15:21
eXistenZehey15:22
eXistenZehow can I find the name of the package to uninstall the icon in the systemtray fo instant messaging?15:22
eXistenZeI had already uninstalled everything IM related, but when upgrading with kubuntu backport ppa it installed the systray icon again15:23
BluesKajnaftilos76, i really don't have much knowledge/experience with dual graphics setups. Some users end up switching off the intel lower power gpu and use the nvidia exclusively, but I'm not sure how that is done.15:23
BluesKajeXistenZe, check your "system tray settings"15:27

mr-richBluesKaj: which kernel? should I go with 3.14 latest?15:56
BluesKajmr-rich, I have no idea, I just use the default kernel. My kernel testing days are over since I found running non default kernels as unproductive.which in your case may be different16:03
mr-richBluesKaj: I switched back to using the default kernels for the same reason ...16:04
lordievadermr-rich: Switching back to radeon ain't an option?16:05
TJ- I'm finding v4.1 significantly faster, and more responsive, than the default kernels16:05
mr-richlordievader: I use the proprietry divers16:06
lordievaderTJ-: 4.x is rather nice indeed.16:06
lordievadermr-rich: I know, hence the question.16:06
mr-richlordievader: much faster16:06

BluesKajTJ-, what about system updates and upgrades?16:08
TJ-BluesKaj: what about them?16:08
lordievaderHmm. 3.14.1 seems to be the newest you can get without compiling it yourself.16:08
BluesKajor default kernel upgrades for example16:08
TJ-BluesKaj: doesn't make any difference16:08
mr-richlordievader: do they do security patches for that?16:10
mr-richlordievader: looking at the dates, I assume not ...16:10
BluesKajthat wasn't my experience with a couple of kernels that were supposed to be faster16:10
lordievaderPerhaps, not sure. I think TJ- will be able to answer that ;)16:10
TJ-All supported packages receive security updates16:12
mr-richTJ-: is kernel 3.14.1 a supported package?16:12
mr-richDoesn't look like it ...16:13
lordievaderFrom the kernel ppa.16:13
TJ-An additional kernel is simply added to the boot config; it doesn't affect existing packages (on the priviso the kernel was built with similar/the sam CONFIG options as the Ubuntu kernels)16:13
TJ-mr-rich: mainline kernels aren't supported, they're for 'testing' but if you choose those you know you have to keep an eye out for security issues16:14
mr-richTJ-: That's what I thought ... can't they roll this fix into 3.13.0 and issue an update?16:15
mr-richTJ-: I switched back to default meny months ago and this problem only started happening recently ...16:16
TJ-mr-rich: I think I missed your specific issue. There needs to be a bug report in launchpad and a demonstrable regression for an update.16:16
TJ-mr-rich: For LTS releases that need more recent kernels you should use the supported HardWare Enablement packages16:17

lordievaderBy the by, the radeon drive is quite okay if you don't use a lot of 3d stuff.16:19
mr-richlordievader: I have a bad memory leak in Xorg16:25
TJ-mr-rich: I've allocated that bug to linux and set a milestone; it should get kernel dev attention now16:25
lordievadermr-rich: "After I removed it, Xorg stopped eating my RAM." Wouldn't that say the memory leak is in fglrx?16:26
mr-richTJ-: Thank you!16:26
lordievadermr-rich: Anyhow what I mean is, you could run the radeon driver until this is fixed.16:26
TJ-lordievader: With the same driver installed, 3.13 and 3.15 show the issue but 3.12 and 3.14 don't16:27
* TJ- blames the odd numbers16:27
mr-richlordievader: what does fglrx actually do?16:27
mr-richlordievader: is that 3-D? I may have installed it in a failed attempt to get Google Earth running ...16:28
KrixvarHey TJ-, thanks for the help earlier, I managed to get it running!16:28
KrixvarYour messages were full or I would have let you know16:29
mr-richlordievader: do you mean the open source driver? waaaaaay to much screen flicker ...16:29
TJ-Krixvar: Really? I'd best clean up! thanks for telling me16:29
lordievadermr-rich: Hmm, I've been running the radeon driver without issue for years.16:30
KrixvarTJ-: no problem! I ended up running boot-repair as a last attempt before waiting to hear back from you, and the commands it gave me to run in linux were broken but it suggested some windows command to redirect the bootloader to the ubuntu files and it worked16:30
KrixvarGot broken by the first apt-get upgrade I did but I know the process now haha16:30
mr-richlordievader: I have 1600x1200 resolution ... flicker is huge ... :)16:30
TJ-Krixvar: with EFI both OSs should add a boot menu entry in the UEFO non-volatile variables on the motherboard16:32
KrixvarTJ-: That's not something I'm familiar with :/ I had to run  bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.exi from windows to get it working16:32
lordievadermr-rich: I have three screens, 1920x1080, 2560x1440, 1280x1024. No problem ;)16:33
TJ-Krixvar: I suspect the UEFI might also be set either to default to Windows and/or in fastboot mode whereby it doesn't look for user input at power-on16:33
KrixvarI'd boot up and it would go straight to windows without any grub16:33
KrixvarI turned off fastboot, but since its an OEM laptop that might be the case16:33
TJ-Krixvar: Yes, that is what you expect on UEFI... it manages the boot menu, the boot-loaders for GRUB and Windows stay separate and do not interact with each other16:33
KrixvarThat's cool16:34
KrixvarSo I'm assuming that the reason it broke on the apt-get upgrade was that it didn't reinstall grub with the --no-uefi-secure-boot flag?16:34
TJ-Krixvar: When you're in Linux, if you (re)do "grub-install ..." that will run the command "efibootmgr ..." which is the tool that adds an Ubuntu entry to the UEFI boot menu.16:34
KrixvarCool, I just ran it again16:35
TJ-Krixvar: If you use "grub-install -v --target=x86_64-efi --no-uefi-secure-boot |& tee /tmp/grub-install.log" you can check in the log file that efibootmgr did its thing16:35
TJ-Krixvar: It should also set the Ubuntu entry to be the default entry which will start Ubuntu not Windows unless you choose otherwise at power-on16:36
KrixvarTJ-: Awesome, I ran it again and it's back to asking for a password to decrypt /boot so that's good16:37
KrixvarNot really sure why it didn't make ubuntu default the first time so I'll check next time I get the chance16:38
Krixvaraka next time it breaks from an upgrade16:38
Krixvaror is there some way to tell it to always use that flag when upgrading?16:38
TJ-Krixvar: It took me ages to see the reason I couldn't get the encrypted /boot/ to work with the GRUB install in the VM... then I used 'strings' on the grub module and realised cryptodisk wasn't in the signed image. I've reported it as a bug  it needs to be in there16:38
KrixvarTJ-: yeah, that's a strange issue.. I never would have figured it out haha I'm very thankful you were willing to help16:39
TJ-It was fun :)16:40
KrixvarAwesome, and I learned more about booting Linux in a day than I did in nearly 10 years of using linux16:42
KrixvarI'm looking to set this up on all my computers so I may be getting back in touch at some point if that's alright,16:43
TJ-It should stay the same if fastboot is off16:43
KrixvarCool16:43
TJ-Yeah sure :)16:43
TJ-Now you can fix my issue of the day :D16:43
Krixvarhaha I can try16:43
Krixvargotta head out soon though16:43
TJ-heheh I doubt it :)16:43
KrixvarIn the meantime though, its not possible to use this setup on an older computer with BIOS, right?16:43
Krixvarprobably not haha :P16:43
BluesKajTJ-, makes me think i should restore my laptop to uefi boot and gpt .I didn't have the patience to try installing kubuntu using uefi when I received the machine 2 yrs ago, so i wiped the drive clean and repartitioned from scratch,. Now, every once in a while I lose grub altogether and can't boot anything. Removing the battery for a few minutes usually restores grub , but it's becoming a pita.16:45
TJ-I got a mini-PCIe SSD that doesn't work ... PC goes through BIOS POST then hangs... turns out this supposedly PCIe V2 compliant device breaks on a PCIe V1 controller despite the fact the V2 standard mandates both versions must be supported16:45
TJ-BluesKaj: I do prefer UEFI ... it's much easier to debug and fix, especially if you've got an EFI shell available16:46
TJ-None of the old arguments over which boot-loader rules as with BIOS16:46
KrixvarTJ-: ahhh you're right that I don't think I can help much with that :/ sorry!16:47
TJ-I think the biggest problems for UEFI are the CSM and legacy BIOS boot support - that causes so much confusion because users aren't aware of which mode was used, or how critical it is during installation especially16:47
TJ-Krixvar: I've emailed SuperTalent hopefully I'll get an engineering response.16:47
KrixvarTJ-: awesome, that's probably your best bet. I'll be back very late tonight probably, thanks again for all the help :)16:48
KrixvarOh do you have a link for the bug report you made so I can keep an eye on it as well?16:49
BluesKajTJ-, guess, it's too late for me , I've read several tutorials on how to restore UEFI and GPT, and it looks pretty complicated so I haven't bothered trying16:49
TJ-BluesKaj: Depends on the partition layout as to whether you can create the space for the GPT... although UEFI can boot from MBR too, as long as you have a type 0xEF primary partition with the EFI system FAT16/32 file-system16:50
BluesKajTJ-, i wiped all the original partitions completely, guess I just have to live with the boot problem ...I normally don't shut my laptop off anymore to avoid the proble. i just suspend.16:53
TJ-hmmmm... I need a way to have a script executed when lightdm service starts, before it launches Xorg16:55
lordievaderTJ-: I suppose you can let systemd do that.16:56
lordievaderThe pre-exec is for that IIRC.16:56
* lordievader is off for food16:56
TJ-No systemd here!16:56
BluesKajTJ-, what are you running?16:57
TJ-14.04 so upstart16:58
BluesKajright16:58
TJ-I have to dynamically re-write xorg.conf each boot16:59
BluesKajeven debian jessie is using systemd, but the lightdm greeter16:59
BluesKajreverted my main OS to one that runs kde4/plasma4 , plasma 5/kf5 is ok, but it dropped some of my fav features which I really missed , it's nice to have them back17:04
TJ-IT really annoys me when developers scratch their own itch like that rather than ask users what they want17:04
BluesKajagreed17:05
BluesKajBBL17:13
L4bR4tIn system setting->input devices I set a keybd shortcut to disable my touchpad.  it works up until I close system settings, then I can  no longer disable my touchpad.  Any ideas?17:26
lordievaderTJ-: Upstart can have pre-scripts, if you put it in *.override or however it is called it doesn't get deleted with updates.17:52
TJ-lordievader: Hmm doesn't the override replace the original though?17:53
lordievaderErr, yes. But you could copy it and make your changes.17:53
lordievaderTure, it ain't very pretty.17:54
