danielle31quite often my system crashes with a segfault. not sure if its related to firefox or not ? here's the log from dmesg:  [   21.947894] QXcbEventReader[2169]: segfault at 7fef19521099 ip 00007fef19521099 sp 00007fef0ba95e60 error 1410:56
danielle31My computer keeps crashing with "Sep  4 11:50:30 Wintermute kernel: [   21.947894] QXcbEventReader[2169]: segfault at 7fef19521099 ip 00007fef19521099 sp 00007fef0ba95e60 error 14" in the dmesg. Any ideas what might be causing it?11:04
soeedanielle31: when it keeps crashing, just after boot or during booting ?11:10

Zlokahi there11:12
danielle31soee: it doesnt crash at all during boot. the only commonality seems to be that I have firefox open. not sure thats related tho.11:13

ovidiu-florindanielle31: do you have something conected to your pc?12:43
ovidiu-florinsoee: what about me? I don't think the new site causes danielle31 's Kubuntu to crash12:44

silver_hookHullo.16:58
silver_hookHow often is KDE updated in Kubuntu (stable)?16:58
silver_hookAnd how long would it take me to switch from Mageia to Kubuntu? i.e. install itself on an Luks-encrypted LVM, where I have a separate home volume + any needed migration between the two systems.16:59
silver_hookAkonadi in KDE 4 is driving me nuts and Mageia’s a bit more reserved with Plasma 517:00
BluesKajsilver_hook, don't think there's any particular schedule/timeframe for kde upgrades17:01
airkingw/in 1117:02
silver_hookBluesKaj: So it can be that in one release KDE will be fresher in Kubuntu in in another in Mageia?17:03
BluesKajsilver_hook, installing kubuntu to/ and then setting ~/ as a mountpoint in the installer  partitoner shouldn't add much time to installing kubuntu , usually about 30 misn depending on 3rd party updates etc17:03
BluesKajsilver_hook, dunno anything about Magela17:04
silver_hookBluesKaj: And Kubuntu has no problems with such a more advanced install as a luks-encrypted lvm?17:04
BluesKajit might , I'm not sure about luks , but LVM isn't a problem17:05
silver_hookAnd the backports mentioned here: http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-532-and-frameworks-5120-backported-kubuntu-1504/17:07
silver_hook…does enabling those mean that all packages will be updated to a backport, or just KDE, or just the ones I specifically select?17:07
silver_hook(Sorry for the stupid questions, but most of my time I spent on Gentoo, so I’m used to quite granular package control.)17:08
BluesKajit's plasma 5.3.2 and KF5  that are updated ...a bit confusing but KDE no l,onger has a number associated with it after kde417:08
silver_hookSo in the backports it’s just Plasma, KF (and KDE apps?)?17:10
BluesKajsilver_hook, also plasma 5.4 is now available for 15.04 in the launchpad kubuntu backports , which you can add after installing the regular 15.04 OS17:11
silver_hookBluesKaj: Those backports are what I’m asking about.17:12
silver_hookHow do those work?17:12
BluesKajsilver_hook, it's still transitional from plasma 4  to plsama 5 in 15.04 . The backports are usually devel  type sources for the adventurous user17:14
silver_hookBluesKaj: But you either run all the updates in the backport or none? Or can you chose individual packages that you want to chery-pick from the backports and leave the rest from stable?17:15
BluesKajyes17:16
BluesKajfor both, you update to majke the packages available and upgrade to choose all the available packages in th ebackport repos ,17:17
BluesKajor you can cherry pick as yoo put it by kjust installing what you want then disabling the repos in the software center or removing it aka ppa in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d file17:19
silver_hookHmmm, interesting. I might look into that at some point.17:42

danielle31 I have a problem with the FS on an external drive. Every time I run fsck, I get the message "Filesystem modified. Errors remain." So I run fsck again and it seems to be fixing different things each time. I have done this about a dozen times now. Am I doing this right? Why can't fsck run repeatedly until it has fixed all the errors?20:32
geniidanielle31: This is a symptom that the hard drive is physically failing20:42
geniidanielle31: Does the result of: dmesg| tail -n50      ...show a lot of I/O errors?20:45
alphamuleAKKhello20:50
soeehiho alphamuleAKK21:05
danielle31genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12276626/. so there are lots of errors, but only one of them looks related to I/O.21:24
danielle31I guess its failing but not that hard?21:24
danielle31on a long enough time scale, everyone's mortality rate drops to zero..21:24
geniidanielle31: Apologies on lag, work required me. From that ouput, it looks like the drive or the drive controller is failing.21:33
danielle31thanks genii. that's a good diagnosis, considering both survived unexpected hydrophillic integration. I spilled water on them :-(21:43
geniidanielle31: Is there data on it that you are trying to retrieve?21:47
dimitarHi all21:58
* genii slides dimitar a fresh coffee21:59
dimitarthank you genii :)22:00
geniidimitar: You're welcome :)  If you have some question about Kubuntu, just ask it in the channel and hopefully a helper will take it up22:01
dimitarThank you!22:03
mishahi22:16
mishai have a doubt, is somebody there?22:16
VoyagePlease see this and inform me what to select http://oi59.tinypic.com/2yl1g85.jpg22:17
geniiThe second one22:30
danielle31genii: sorry about the lag. yes, I have data on the disk22:54
danielle31It was readable but the fsck seems to have made it worse. it isnt readable anymore.22:55
danielle31I suppose I should say that means I had data on the drive22:57
danielle31*sigh*22:58
danielle31Shoulda bought a NAS when I had the chance..22:58
geniidanielle31: If you have another larger disk, I would recommend to hook that up at the same time, and then use ddrescue to make an image of the screwy one onto it, then work with the image file22:58
danielle31thanks genii. where I once had a readable FS, all I have no is a bunch of fragments in /lost+found. not sure its worth it tbh..22:59
geniiOnce you have an image file made, you can run recovery tools against that instead of the actual drive, like photorec for instance ( not just for photos)22:59
danielle31what kind of recovery tools genii?23:00
geniidanielle31: photorec is the most well known23:00
genii!info photorec23:00
ubottuPackage photorec does not exist in vivid23:00
geniiWhut?23:00
* genii smacks the bot23:00
bprompthehe23:00
danielle31:-)23:01
geniiAh, it's in the package called testdisk23:01
bpromptdanielle31:     what are you trying to do? if I can stick my long beak23:01
danielle31I'm not sure atm actually bprompt. I had a bunch of data on an old disk which I thought was working fine (despite having spilled a glass of water on it a long time ago and dried it thoroughly). I was actually trying to free some space for a project. Didn't realise the external drive was so badly broken until I came to copy some files to it. Still didnt realise when I tried to fsck it about a dozen times.23:03
danielle31I think just now I might try to go to bed and then take stock of my options in the morning23:03
geniibprompt: Basically looks at this point like drive is screwed, now to image it and try to recover stuff23:04
danielle31 yep23:04
bprompthmm23:04
bpromptdanielle31:    so... you want to simply recover the partition data from it?23:05
danielle31I suppose so. I think that's a project for another day tho. I simply dont have any storage media of that size atm.23:08
bprompthmm23:10
bpromptso... hmm ok.. sounds like  you do not want to get data from it... so..hmm what's stopping you from simply throwing it to the trash bin?23:11
