[01:18] <street> hello
[01:19] <misterno> hi
[01:19] <ahoneybun> hola people
[01:21] <street> what is the name of the off topic channel for Kubuntu?
[01:23] <street> been so long, and just set up kubuntu 15.04 on my little notebook, i cant remember the actual channel name...if anyone can help it would be appriciated
[01:24] <street> never mind i found it in the FAQ..
[01:25] <to10fcm> street, what ya looking for?
[07:07] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:56] <danielle31> quite 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 14
[11:04] <danielle31> My 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?
[11:10] <soee> danielle31: when it keeps crashing, just after boot or during booting ?
[11:11] <Zloka> test
[11:11] <soee> hiho Zloka
[11:12] <Zloka> hi there
[11:13] <danielle31> soee: it doesnt crash at all during boot. the only commonality seems to be that I have firefox open. not sure thats related tho.
[11:20] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:41] <aektzis> Hello guys! :) I love the new website. Well done! :D
[12:42] <soee> aektzis: :)
[12:42] <soee> ovidiu-florin: ^
[12:43] <aektzis> :D
[12:43] <ovidiu-florin> danielle31: do you have something conected to your pc?
[12:44] <ovidiu-florin> soee: what about me? I don't think the new site causes danielle31 's Kubuntu to crash
[12:44] <soee> ovidiu-florin: [14:41] <aektzis> Hello guys! :) I love the new website. Well done! :D
[12:45] <aektzis> haha :D
[12:48] <danielle31> ovidiu-florin: nothing plugged in, just the usual assortment of laptop internal USB perepherals..
[12:48] <danielle31> :-)
[13:41] <xela2244> hi, i just installed kubuntu and the icons on my desktop look like widgets. How can i make them normal?
[13:43] <xela2244> i am in folder view
[16:48] <rredd4> k
[16:49] <rredd4> media# ls Macintosh HD root@j-MacBook:/media# cd Macintosh HD -su: cd: Macintosh: No such file or directory  Don't understand why I am getting    no such file... when i ls and it shows it?
[16:58] <silver_hook> Hullo.
[16:58] <silver_hook> How often is KDE updated in Kubuntu (stable)?
[16:59] <silver_hook> And 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.
[17:00] <silver_hook> Akonadi in KDE 4 is driving me nuts and Mageia’s a bit more reserved with Plasma 5
[17:01] <BluesKaj> silver_hook, don't think there's any particular schedule/timeframe for kde upgrades
[17:02] <airking> w/in 11
[17:03] <silver_hook> BluesKaj: So it can be that in one release KDE will be fresher in Kubuntu in in another in Mageia?
[17:03] <BluesKaj> silver_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 etc
[17:04] <BluesKaj> silver_hook, dunno anything about Magela
[17:04] <silver_hook> BluesKaj: And Kubuntu has no problems with such a more advanced install as a luks-encrypted lvm?
[17:05] <BluesKaj> it might , I'm not sure about luks , but LVM isn't a problem
[17:07] <silver_hook> And 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?
[17:08] <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] <BluesKaj> it'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 kde4
[17:10] <silver_hook> So in the backports it’s just Plasma, KF (and KDE apps?)?
[17:11] <BluesKaj> silver_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 OS
[17:12] <silver_hook> BluesKaj: Those backports are what I’m asking about.
[17:12] <silver_hook> How do those work?
[17:14] <BluesKaj> silver_hook, it's still transitional from plasma 4  to plsama 5 in 15.04 . The backports are usually devel  type sources for the adventurous user
[17:15] <silver_hook> BluesKaj: 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?
[17:16] <BluesKaj> yes
[17:17] <BluesKaj> for both, you update to majke the packages available and upgrade to choose all the available packages in th ebackport repos ,
[17:19] <BluesKaj> or 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 file
[17:42] <silver_hook> Hmmm, interesting. I might look into that at some point.
[20:32] <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?
[20:42] <genii> danielle31: This is a symptom that the hard drive is physically failing
[20:45] <genii> danielle31: Does the result of: dmesg| tail -n50      ...show a lot of I/O errors?
[20:50] <alphamuleAKK> hello
[21:05] <soee> hiho alphamuleAKK
[21:24] <danielle31> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12276626/. so there are lots of errors, but only one of them looks related to I/O.
[21:24] <danielle31> I guess its failing but not that hard?
[21:24] <danielle31> on a long enough time scale, everyone's mortality rate drops to zero..
[21:33] <genii> danielle31: Apologies on lag, work required me. From that ouput, it looks like the drive or the drive controller is failing.
[21:43] <danielle31> thanks genii. that's a good diagnosis, considering both survived unexpected hydrophillic integration. I spilled water on them :-(
[21:47] <genii> danielle31: Is there data on it that you are trying to retrieve?
[21:58] <dimitar> Hi all
[21:59]  * genii slides dimitar a fresh coffee
[22:00] <dimitar> thank you genii :)
[22:01] <genii> dimitar: You're welcome :)  If you have some question about Kubuntu, just ask it in the channel and hopefully a helper will take it up
[22:03] <dimitar> Thank you!
[22:16] <misha> hi
[22:16] <misha> i have a doubt, is somebody there?
[22:17] <Voyage> Please see this and inform me what to select http://oi59.tinypic.com/2yl1g85.jpg
[22:30] <genii> The second one
[22:54] <danielle31> genii: sorry about the lag. yes, I have data on the disk
[22:55] <danielle31> It was readable but the fsck seems to have made it worse. it isnt readable anymore.
[22:57] <danielle31> I suppose I should say that means I had data on the drive
[22:58] <danielle31> *sigh*
[22:58] <danielle31> Shoulda bought a NAS when I had the chance..
[22:58] <genii> danielle31: 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 file
[22:59] <danielle31> thanks 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] <genii> Once 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)
[23:00] <danielle31> what kind of recovery tools genii?
[23:00] <genii> danielle31: photorec is the most well known
[23:00] <genii> !info photorec
[23:00] <genii> Whut?
[23:00]  * genii smacks the bot
[23:00] <bprompt> hehe
[23:01] <danielle31> :-)
[23:01] <genii> Ah, it's in the package called testdisk
[23:01] <bprompt> danielle31:     what are you trying to do? if I can stick my long beak
[23:03] <danielle31> I'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] <danielle31> I think just now I might try to go to bed and then take stock of my options in the morning
[23:04] <genii> bprompt: Basically looks at this point like drive is screwed, now to image it and try to recover stuff
[23:04] <danielle31>  yep
[23:04] <bprompt> hmm
[23:05] <bprompt> danielle31:    so... you want to simply recover the partition data from it?
[23:08] <danielle31> I suppose so. I think that's a project for another day tho. I simply dont have any storage media of that size atm.
[23:10] <bprompt> hmm
[23:11] <bprompt> so... 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?
