I recently installed Ubuntu onto my main laptop and it runs fantastic. I plan on giving a small notebook I have (to be specific the acer aspire one D270-1824) to my sister, and would like to run a linux based OS on it, because windows 7 just doesn't run correctly on it and frankly it would be impossible to get windows 10 on it. Point is, is kubuntu a good OS to run on a 32 bit processor with onl [05:37] Good morning [06:20] wifi was working fine but now no networks are listed and when i click the networks icon i cant check the wireless box... help please!! [06:21] i didn't change update/modify anything, rebooted and now no wifi!?!? === benonsoftware is now known as bdunn === bdunn is now known as benonsoftware [06:50] ocnios: what does "rfkill list" say? Do you see anything in "dmesg" ? [06:50] ocnios: What wifi chipset are you using? [06:50] softand hard bloced yes [06:51] i renamed wlan0 to skynet could that have broken things? i asked people before i did and they said it shouldn't cause issues. === benonsoftware is now known as MerryChristmas [06:51] now i dont remeber cli syntax to revert it was 'kv or vk something?' === MerryChristmas is now known as benonsoftware [06:54] ocnios: I am guessing you edited /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? [06:55] it shouldnt be hard blocked for that tho, I dont think [06:57] hateball: yes i did [06:58] i tried to edit it again but it didn't let me change it back from skynet to wlan0 to see if it would fix it i can't remember sudo edit cli command for that file.....if that's the issue [06:58] i changed it and it worked great for a week and now randomly i get nothing, rebooted 3x [06:59] ocnios: sudo nano [06:59] or kdesudo kate [07:04] how do i save in nano hateball [07:04] esc doesnt work to get to : and 'w' [07:05] ocnios: ctrl+x [07:06] well, it's quit. but it'll ask you to save modified [07:15] hateball: http://hastebin.com/pafolodudi.pl [07:18] ocnios: well hard block is usually due to physical switch, but can also be when missing firmware [07:18] ocnios: so again, what chipset is it? [07:19] lspci or lsusb will tell you [07:20] Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [07:24] hmmm [07:24] ocnios: what does "lspci -k|grep -A2 Network" say? [07:24] I am guessing it uses ath9k module? [07:25] you should be able to see something with "dmesg" if it has trouble loading firmware [07:25] oh and also make sure the physical switch (if there is one) isnt actually blocking [07:29] im a total idiot [07:30] there is no physical switch per se but i was switching virtual desktops and must have accidentally hit fn+ctrl3 which is the virtual wlan switch and disabled it thank you so much [07:32] xD [07:32] ocnios: at least it got solved :D [07:32] amen!! [07:33] I've had this ultrabook for 3 years and never once used that function/button. whew. was totally panicked for a moment on a metered connection with 200mb data until kill [07:38] Good morning. [08:03] Good morning! I was stumbling rummaging around the kubuntu IRC logs, but failed to get a definite answer: [08:04] So I gather Plasma 5.4 is only coming to Kubuntu 15.10, right? There won't be any in the Kubuntu Backports? So, I'm so excited, does anybody have any experience with the 15.10 beta yet? Is it stable enough to use? [08:08] summentier: It is stable, but it is never recommended to run a development release on production. [08:14] lordievader: thanks! well, it's clear that by running a beta I am peeling off the warranty sticker. But I feel the same applies to kubuntu-backports in a way. So I just wanted to get a sense of stability for 15.04+backports vs. 15.10 beta ... === ColtonDRG-ZNC is now known as ColtonDRG === jayhunold is now known as jhunold === sampath is now known as codersam88 === miguel_ is now known as Guest28770 [09:55] the 15.10 update made havoc in the vmware machine I updated. modemManager had issues during install. now it won't even boot. not a big deal since this is just playing with linux. but if that were a real user installation I'd be rather unhappy I guess [09:55] known issue? [09:55] Not to me. Can you still get a shell? [09:56] status quo http://imgur.com/PrCYdht === nn is now known as Guest48092 [09:57] steve-_-: Can you send ctrl + alt + f2 to the vm? [10:00] shut down and restarted now logging back in. [10:02] ctrl + alt F2 sent me to a shell login [10:02] so that#s where I am now [10:03] steve-_-: Run: sudo apt-get install -f [10:05] 0upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove 1 not upgraded [10:11] Hmm, is the plasma-desktop package installed? [10:11] I do not know, not a real CLI hero here. [10:11] dpkg -l |grep plasma-dekstop [10:11] desktop* [10:12] this is hard. it has the wrong keyboard language since nothing is right [10:13] I don't know where to find | in that other language keyboard [10:13] it'S not a problem. I can just wait for the final, setup a new VM and continue linux adventures there [10:13] just thought I'd let you know in case this is a common problem [11:32] 'Morning all === phantom is now known as Guest3804 [13:14] Where does Trusty/KDE store the Wallpaper image file-paths ? [13:16] for desktop images I just use some pics from my own files [13:17] I'm looking for where the file-paths are stored, grep has so far not found anything [13:23] TJ-: ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc [13:23] that's on 14.04 [13:27] Something very strange going on; I'm not see those files (I recall there were 4 there a couple months ago) [13:29] Arggggh!! what a *%&! fool I am! [13:32] I switched out the original HDD for an SSD and installed 15.10. I've been mounting the HDD Trusty (LVM) install to /mnt/target/ via UUID entries in fstab. In the Trusty VG there are 2 /home/ LVs (Home and Home_recovered). They both have the same UUID. I'm sure you can guess the rest :) [13:38] :D [13:45] TJ-: so i recently discovered the ultimate solution to my dual booting headaches [13:46] not sure if i told you about my attempts to virtualbox my ubuntu installation within the windows installation... [13:46] usually the reverse is better [13:47] TJ-: alas, Unity3D has preview builds for Ubuntu! :D [13:47] therefore I have almost no reason to continue hanging on to windows [13:48] http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/#post-2298239 :D [13:50] just wondering; is it possible / complicated to expand an ubuntu partition to the whole drive? Currently my first partition (half the drive) is for windows, and 2nd one is ubuntu swap, 3rd is ubuntu [13:51] regedit: use gparted-live and you can change pretty much anything [13:51] nice, so ubuntu doesnt have "unmovable" files and such? [13:51] nope [13:52] cool cool [13:52] problem is that you have swap in the middle [13:52] This is why LVM is a must-have when installing [13:53] so you'd need to decrease ntfs partition size, then delete swap partition, and then reclaim unused space to the ext4 for ubuntu, then create new swap [13:53] but the new swap will get a new uuid, so your /etc/fstab will be broken [13:53] You can assign the same UUID if you want to [13:53] well, yeah [13:54] If swap is encrypted, fstab would be ok [13:55] regedit, depends which direction the partition is expanding, but i found that just deleting the windows partition and leaving it unallocated speeds the process a lot , delete your swap and add it afterwards. It will be fast due to the empty space if you use the end of the drive [13:57] ok [13:57] well if you fully delete the ntfs partition then I guess GRUB will be a bit sad [13:57] * regedit takes notes [13:57] hateball: why is that? [13:58] grub is easily repaired, with boot repair or install grub in gparted [13:59] TJ-: well just for missing entries :) [13:59] grub is in the ESP, and the /boot/ file-system. Deleting the Windows partition(s) won't upset things. [13:59] boot-repair is a handy cd to have around [13:59] or usb [13:59] regedit: You'd need to remember to delete the Windows boot menu entry from UEFI, using Linux efibootmgr [14:00] TJ-: true dat [14:00] oh gawd forgot about that damn uefi again [14:00] TJ- remembers the intricacies of my system in his nightmares by now :D [14:01] regedit: make the former NTFS partition an LVM PV, create (or add it to an existing) VG, and use the space! [14:01] regedit: :D too true [14:02] TJ-: oh so i should make a separate partition out of it? not extend the ubuntu one? [14:02] if you're not already using LVM it is much simpler extending the current partition [14:02] regedit: if the system isn't currently using LVM, you could clone it over into the new LVM config using the former Windows space, boot that, then make the now-former Ubuntu space another PV, add it to the live VG, and you have a fully LVMed system [14:03] regedit: if the system isn't currently using LVM, you could clone it over into the new LVM config using the former Windows space, boot that, then make the now-former Ubuntu space another PV, add it to the live VG, and you have a fully LVMed system [14:03] whoopsie what did i miss [14:03] regedit: When there's existing partitions its much easier to reallocate them to LVM than to try shuffling existing partition data around [14:03] how can i check if it's currently lvm? [14:04] regedit: "sudo vgdisplay" [14:04] command not found [14:04] regedit: It's not LVM :p [14:04] k :) [14:04] It's not exactly much work "shuffling" data when using gparted [14:04] you rightclick the partition and tell it to grow to the unused space :p [14:05] hateball: If the Windows NTFS partition is the first 1/2 of the disk and Ubuntu is at the end, the entire Ubuntu data would need relocating [14:05] TJ-: Yep [14:05] It just takes a bit of time is all [14:05] Depending on the amount of data and such [14:06] it is an SSD, so there's that [14:06] Then it's not gonna take very much time at all [14:07] LVM is nicer tho, for flexibility. [14:08] It can always be done later anyhow [14:22] hello, I just installed kubuntu and wanted to update my packages with muon. but according to the /var/log/apt/term.log file muon get's stucked at a luks password prompt [14:23] the last line is: "Please enter passphrase for disk kubuntu--vg-swap_1 (cryptswap1) on none!". Is it save to kill the update process and restart it on a shell? [14:34] I've found out via ps -A that the terminal i/o lives at /dev/pts/2. so I executed echo "password" > /dev/pts/2, now the last line of /var/log/apt/term.log reads "Please enter passphrase for disk kubuntu--vg-swap_1 (cryptswap1) on none! password" [14:34] but what now? === kluster is now known as saimadhu === rthomsen6 is now known as rthomsen === kubuntu is now known as hdvm === jayhunold is now known as jhunold [16:01] Ok on my phone [16:03] Bit of a newb [16:05] ok this auto complete is a pita [18:33] Hi all. I have been using kubuntu 15.04. Suddenly, today everything became read only and I'm unable to edit any file or mount an external drive. Any clue as to what can be done? [18:48] ranveeraggarwal: Is it mounted ro? [18:50] lordievader: no idea. How do I mount it as rw if it's not? [18:50] ranveeraggarwal: Check 'mount' to see if it is mounted as ro. [18:51] Don't jump to solutions, investigate the problem first. [18:51] It says rw [18:52] (rw, nosuid, nodev, uhelper=udisks2) is what I see [18:52] ranveeraggarwal: Ok, so what errors do you get when you try to create a file? [18:52] It says it's read only. Cannot create file [18:53] Similarly, I tried backing up my data, but it won't mount an external drive [18:54] What is the it in "it says" and what is the it in "it's read only" ? [18:55] I try to create a directory using dolphin [18:55] "nosuid nodev" is not the root file-system - possibly an ecryptfs or cgroup [18:55] Sounds like it remouted due to errors. [18:56] ranveeraggarwal: in a terminal, "pastebinit <( mount )" and give us the URL it reports [18:56] or missing permissions on the mount point. [18:56] Also, when I boot it, it boots into emergency mode [18:57] Then, I press Ctrl+D where it boots into kubuntu and I can't do anything with it. [18:57] reading back yeah sounds like a drive issue... [18:58] Has my hard drive been corrupted somehow? Windows installation still works [18:58] ranveeraggarwal: Could you pastebin the output of 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda'? [18:58] Sure, just a sec [19:00] lordievader, sithlord48, TJ- thanks, I tried to fix the partition using a bootable drive and it worked :) [19:01] oh good :D [19:01] ranveeraggarwal: I'd still like to see the smart output. [19:01] it's now back to rw, though still in emergency mode :/ [19:01] lordievader: damn! I can't sudo [19:01] sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/ranveer/1: No such file or directory [19:01] Okay, so it's still not fixed :/ [19:03] ranveeraggarwal: You should be able to get a root shell through the emergency mode, right? [19:03] lordievader: Yeah [19:04] ranveeraggarwal: Open a root shell through there and then run the smartctl command without sudo. [19:05] lordievader: alright, just a sec [19:06] lordievader: smartctl ain't installed :/ [19:06] Could you install it? [19:07] apt-get install smartmontools [19:09] lordievader: temporary failure in resolving 'urls' [19:10] Hmm, I suppose you have no internet connection? Wired or wireless? [19:11] I do. Wireless. I'll try to connect it via a cable [19:11] networking may be off while in that mode.. === anna` is now known as aaaaaa [19:11] sithlord48: But can likely be started. [19:11] lordievader: of course [19:12] Possibly [19:13] ranveeraggarwal: Setting up a wired connection is a lot easier, so please do connect it ;) [19:13] Sure, on it [19:14] lordievader: done. What next? [19:14] ranveeraggarwal: Run: ip l s up [19:14] And check if it gets an ip. [19:16] What would the interface name be? ifconfig shows only loopback [19:17] ranveeraggarwal: What intefaces does 'ip l' show? [19:18] There's an eth0 [19:18] that would be your wire [19:18] The previous command returns empty [19:18] ranveeraggarwal: ip l s eth0 up [19:18] ^ shouldn't return anything [19:18] Yes, doesn't [19:18] Does 'ip a s eth0' show an ip address? [19:19] Nope, it doesn't [19:19] ranveeraggarwal: Ok, dhclient eth0 [19:20] Then run 'ip a s eth0' again, it should show an ip address this time. [19:20] what happens if you start networking? /etc/init.d/networking start . it should bring up that interface [19:20] lordievader: Error getting authority [19:20] sithlord48: That does pretty much the same as above. [19:20] lordievader: i know [19:21] It fails [19:21] ranveeraggarwal: That error I haven't seen before. [19:22] ranveeraggarwal: Do you know your network settings? [19:22] lordievader: nope, not really [19:22] Unable to access them, my filesystem seems to be locked [19:23] I'm thinking of taking a backup via a bootable usb and going for a clean install [19:23] reboot hold shit to get the grub menu and try the option to fix broken packages. this will bring up networking and should mount discs in rw [19:23] ranveeraggarwal: Hold on. [19:24] ranveeraggarwal: run 'mount -o remount,rw /' then run mount to confirm. [19:24] that is recovery mode . then the option to fix broken packages [19:24] Okay, I'll try this too [19:28] lordievader: it now shows rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered [19:28] ranveeraggarwal: That is good, does the dhclient command work now? [19:29] lordievader: nope, same error [19:30] Hmpf [19:30] Still no ip, I guess? [19:30] Nope [19:31] Then go with sithlord48 suggestion. [19:31] ranveeraggarwal: before you restart [19:31] ranveeraggarwal: did it remount ur drive as ro? [19:32] Nope, it didn't [19:32] ok thats a good sign [19:33] Alright, I'm in recovery mode [19:33] select the option to fix packages [19:33] There's the recovery menu and it says that the filesystem state is read-only [19:33] that should mount your drive in RW and set your network connection (then try to fix them ) [19:33] that is normal for recovery mode. [19:34] Cool [19:35] Yay it's now read/write [19:35] What next? [19:35] you have the wire pluged in ? [19:35] Yes [19:35] try the option for networking if you back at the menu [19:36] Oh damn, I just remembered. My internet requires a sign in through a browser [19:38] that might be a problem [19:40] I can try logging in through curl [19:40] Just a sec [19:41] whats the diffrence between openbox and kde/openbox ? [19:41] Nope, doesn't work [19:41] Damn [19:41] openbox you get just a wm .. openbox/kde you get kde using openbox for its wm (this is a guess) [19:46] hmmm [19:47] KSX: I think it's openbox using widgets pretty much, I've run it, well, actually I do run it, since I run lxde and lxde wm uses openbox pretty much, but I've run the openbox/kde, couldn't tell much difference from kwin IIRC, then again, I didn't run it for long [19:47] i installed openbox on kubuntu and i can choose "plasma" and "openbox" in the login screen, but there is no "kde/openbox" [19:48] bprompt, ok [19:48] sithlord48: I had lynx. It worked [19:49] ksx. at the login screen that if for the session you want to start.. [19:49] its not a big deal as i can use conky instead of widgets [19:49] KSX: use the openbox option :), it'd be like that, kde/openbox per se, bear in mind that kde is just a framework, you do not have to run "kwin", the kde windows manager, to use kde apps, I use lxde wm, but run many kde apps [19:49] sithlord48, lordievader: I now have systemctl installed. What next? [19:49] ranveeraggarwal: tell us what smartctl says about you drive. [19:49] Wait, systemctl wasn't installed? [19:50] But yeah, ^ that. [19:50] What do you want to know in that? [19:51] ranveeraggarwal: We want everything ;) [19:51] lordievader: how do I do so? [19:51] I can't open irc over there [19:51] pastebin, sneakernet, something else ;) [19:53] paste.ubuntu.com/12516693 [19:53] lordievader, sithlord48: ^ [19:54] ranveeraggarwal: MAKE A BACKUP, NOW! [19:54] That drive is failing. [19:54] lordievader: so the hard drive is dead? [19:54] 16 pending sectors, quite a number of read errors. [19:54] ranveeraggarwal: It ain't dead, but it is dying. [19:55] every thing smart flags is pre-fail or old_age .. yeah back that data up now [19:55] lordievader: so, hardware issue, eh? [19:55] Damn [19:56] drive has over 9000 hours powered on .. [19:57] well i gtg all later. [19:58] bigger drives have a shorter lifespan it seems , lost a 1Tb after 3 yrs [19:58] Thank you all. Time to make a backup :D [20:00] And contact the vector vendor for a new hard drive [20:00] wooo upgrading to Beta 2 \o/ [20:05] Beta2?
