=== chibani is now known as sami-sami [01:18] hello [01:19] hi [01:19] hola people [01:21] what is the name of the off topic channel for Kubuntu? [01:23] 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] never mind i found it in the FAQ.. [01:25] street, what ya looking for? === TheCholbs is now known as Botchla === Botchla is now known as TheCholbs === TheCholbs is now known as Botchla === Botchla is now known as Guest92265 === Guest92265 is now known as ishanx === ishanx is now known as botchiab === botchiab is now known as TheCholbs === chalker_ is now known as ChALkeR === nhandler is now known as BirthdayHandler [07:07] Good morning === toscalix__ is now known as toscalix [10:56] 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] 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] danielle31: when it keeps crashing, just after boot or during booting ? === levandz1 is now known as Zloka [11:11] test [11:11] hiho Zloka [11:12] hi there [11:13] 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] Hiyas all [12:41] Hello guys! :) I love the new website. Well done! :D [12:42] aektzis: :) [12:42] ovidiu-florin: ^ [12:43] :D [12:43] danielle31: do you have something conected to your pc? [12:44] soee: what about me? I don't think the new site causes danielle31 's Kubuntu to crash [12:44] ovidiu-florin: [14:41] Hello guys! :) I love the new website. Well done! :D [12:45] haha :D [12:48] ovidiu-florin: nothing plugged in, just the usual assortment of laptop internal USB perepherals.. [12:48] :-) [13:41] hi, i just installed kubuntu and the icons on my desktop look like widgets. How can i make them normal? [13:43] i am in folder view === kubuntu is now known as Guest11253 [16:48] k [16:49] 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] Hullo. [16:58] How often is KDE updated in Kubuntu (stable)? [16:59] 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] Akonadi in KDE 4 is driving me nuts and Mageia’s a bit more reserved with Plasma 5 [17:01] silver_hook, don't think there's any particular schedule/timeframe for kde upgrades [17:02] w/in 11 [17:03] BluesKaj: So it can be that in one release KDE will be fresher in Kubuntu in in another in Mageia? [17:03] 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] silver_hook, dunno anything about Magela [17:04] BluesKaj: And Kubuntu has no problems with such a more advanced install as a luks-encrypted lvm? [17:05] it might , I'm not sure about luks , but LVM isn't a problem [17:07] And the backports mentioned here: http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-532-and-frameworks-5120-backported-kubuntu-1504/ [17:07] …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] (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] 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] So in the backports it’s just Plasma, KF (and KDE apps?)? [17:11] 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] BluesKaj: Those backports are what I’m asking about. [17:12] How do those work? [17:14] 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] 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] yes [17:17] for both, you update to majke the packages available and upgrade to choose all the available packages in th ebackport repos , [17:19] 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] Hmmm, interesting. I might look into that at some point. === regedit_ is now known as regedit === Plas is now known as PlasmaStar === regedit_ is now known as regedit [20:32] 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] danielle31: This is a symptom that the hard drive is physically failing [20:45] danielle31: Does the result of: dmesg| tail -n50 ...show a lot of I/O errors? [20:50] hello [21:05] hiho alphamuleAKK [21:24] genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12276626/. so there are lots of errors, but only one of them looks related to I/O. [21:24] I guess its failing but not that hard? [21:24] on a long enough time scale, everyone's mortality rate drops to zero.. [21:33] danielle31: Apologies on lag, work required me. From that ouput, it looks like the drive or the drive controller is failing. [21:43] thanks genii. that's a good diagnosis, considering both survived unexpected hydrophillic integration. I spilled water on them :-( [21:47] danielle31: Is there data on it that you are trying to retrieve? [21:58] Hi all [21:59] * genii slides dimitar a fresh coffee [22:00] thank you genii :) [22:01] 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] Thank you! [22:16] hi [22:16] i have a doubt, is somebody there? [22:17] Please see this and inform me what to select http://oi59.tinypic.com/2yl1g85.jpg [22:30] The second one [22:54] genii: sorry about the lag. yes, I have data on the disk [22:55] It was readable but the fsck seems to have made it worse. it isnt readable anymore. [22:57] I suppose I should say that means I had data on the drive [22:58] *sigh* [22:58] Shoulda bought a NAS when I had the chance.. [22:58] 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] 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] 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] what kind of recovery tools genii? [23:00] danielle31: photorec is the most well known [23:00] !info photorec [23:00] Package photorec does not exist in vivid [23:00] Whut? [23:00] * genii smacks the bot [23:00] hehe [23:01] :-) [23:01] Ah, it's in the package called testdisk [23:01] danielle31: what are you trying to do? if I can stick my long beak [23:03] 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] I think just now I might try to go to bed and then take stock of my options in the morning [23:04] bprompt: Basically looks at this point like drive is screwed, now to image it and try to recover stuff [23:04] yep [23:04] hmm [23:05] danielle31: so... you want to simply recover the partition data from it? [23:08] 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] hmm [23:11] 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?
