clivejochrisfromgreece: who is solving it?  The Ubuntu kernel team or AMD ?11:07
chrisfromgreeceits just not supported by the newer kernel on ubuntu 15.1011:07
chrisfromgreecei dont know when will be solved11:07
clivejoYou will have to wait until the kernel team apply a patch/fix the problem and use an older kernel that works11:08
chrisfromgreecehow i can installer an older kernel on kubuntu 15.1011:09
clivejoit usually keeps an older version, when it installs a new old11:09

BluesKajHowdy folks13:17
Smurphyyo dude ...13:17
BluesKajhi Smurphy13:19
SmurphyBoring day. Loocking at pcap day in day out currently ...13:44
SmurphyAnd all thta, because customer's can't configure switches correctly :(13:45
BluesKajSmurphy, pcap?13:53
TJ-BluesKaj: packet capture; the network package file format used by libpcap, and the user tools tcpdump, wireshark, etc.14:04
BluesKajTJ-, ok thanks14:06
gombeanHi all.14:09
BluesKajhi gombean14:09
gombeanI am trying to set a default application for magnet links in firefox.  Ktorrent is the only app in the list, but I use qBittorrent.  When I click 'Choose Application', it just opens a dolphin(-like) window.  How do I choose qbittorrent from here?14:10
gombeando i just choose /usr/bin/qbittorrent?14:10
SmurphyBluesKaj: pcap -> packet capture of network data.14:14
BluesKajktorrent is default, remove it and qbittorerent should open the next time you invoke a torrent url , how ever FF doesn't do magnetic links  without configuration, copy the magnet link location and click on the add url in qbittorent14:14
BluesKajgombean,^14:14
Smurphyktorrent does magnetic links14:14
BluesKajyes, but ktorrent is a pita in other ways14:15
gombeanqbiitorrent does magnet links fine14:15
BluesKajgom yes it does if you don't use firefox browser14:16
BluesKajgombean,^14:16
gombeani got it by adding /usr/bin/qbittorrent to app list for firefox magnet links and setting this as default.  now clicking on a magnet will automatically open the magnet in qbittorrent14:16
gombeanunless I am missing something, this appears to work 100%14:17
gombeanis /usr/bin/[app-name] the correct executable to use and are there cases where it is not?14:19
BluesKajgombean, if you're unsure just use the locate packagename in the terminal14:25
gombeanBluesKaj: nice one, thanks14:27
BluesKajgom  where is the app list in firefox you just mentioned?14:29
BluesKajgombean,^14:29
gombeanBluesKaj: When I am on a 'certain' site and click on a magnet link... it just appears.  Ktorrent was the only one in the list until I added qBittorrent14:31
gombeanBluesKaj: But now I notice that for an actual *.torrent file, I only see KTorrent in the list....!?14:32
SmurphyBluesKaj: in what ways  is ktorrent a pita ?14:32
gombeanI will just uninstall KTorrent14:33
gombeanSmurphy: just personal preference for me really14:33
Smurphy:}14:34
gombeanall good :)14:35
BluesKajgombean, I removed ktorrent , you eithe apt-get remove ktorrent in the terminal or use the packge manager , then qbittorrent will become the only alternative torrent cleint , hence the default14:36
dougielso I installed 15.10 and I have not network or wifi - any thoughts?14:38
BluesKajSmurphy, qbittorrent is more configurable for ports and download bandwidth etc..w're ikn the boonies and wife is a gamer so we needd more control overdownloading14:38

hegemon8quick question, when if at all can i expect to see Muon software center to be back again? (The one with packages list like in synaptic14:42
hegemon8Discover is cool, but it lacks that small command tools that i could browse, You know the whole repo list?14:43
SmurphyBluesKaj: You're wife is a gamer ??? *lol* Cool. One thing we have in common then :D14:47
SmurphyMine is addicted to games. Check this out -> http://stargate.solsys.org/mod.php?mod=blog&user=2&section=23214:48
BluesKajdougiel, there's no reason why it shouldn't work . my bcm 4311 works just fine , most broadcoms do14:48
SmurphyBluesKaj: 3rd entry -> that's our gaming env.:D Parents gaming Env ! :D14:48
BluesKajSmurphy, wife is a LOTRO and DDO gamer mostly14:49
Smurphylol. Mine loves to play Skyrim, and we met while playing Left4dead. We still play left4dead2 on a regular base. I got a modded server at home for that :)14:50

BluesKajhegemon8, just install muon14:52
hegemon8see Ya :)14:52
hegemon8BluesKaj:14:52
hegemon8ok, is it a separate package then that Muon Discover comes with?14:53
BluesKajmuon discover and muon are 2 different packages, the old muon is much better14:53
hegemon8i had it in 14.04 with discover, and since 15.04 i guess it wasn't preinstalled14:54
Smurphyhegemon8: *rofl*: "Get up - there are zombies to kill and shit"14:54
Smurphy:D14:54
hegemon8Smurphy: i know right? :D let me install muon then :)14:54
Smurphy;)14:54
hegemon8BluesKaj: ok, thx for clearing this, btw, naming them 2 muon doesn't make it obvious, but what ever, now i know :)14:55
SmurphyProblem for me, that left4dead2 is not fluid under linux, and I don't know why. Metro last light is faster under linux than under windows.14:55
hegemon8and BluesKaj true, i liked that "synaptic" kinda style when i know what i look for, but not exact name.14:55
hegemon8Smurphy: it runs quite well on my s...tty laptop14:56
hegemon8and man, i'm on gforce 315m14:56
hegemon8well, depends i guess14:57
BluesKajI use muon as a package reference guide, more info about repos and dependencies etc,  even use it to purge or install stuff occasionally14:57
hegemon8BluesKaj: yes, i get Ya. Discover is nice to have and needed, i wonder if 2 coud get combined like "friendly view" and advanced ? Just an idea14:59

hegemon8Guest49845: my lame way is to use vlc, but hopefully someone have better idea15:04
hegemon8and if this is mp3 or so, there was some volume normalizer command tool that i used to make my whole music collection to be at this same vevel, that makes a difference on a playlist.15:05
hegemon8BluesKaj: thats why i think its needed, but not preffered, as i'd rather update from cli instead from GUI - progress bar tells me nothing :) (i liked the way You could show details in synaptic and see the console output15:07
SmurphyBluesKaj: Niiiice... Well, we are just approaching the 50 ;) good to know we can still play after that ! :D15:07
Guest49845hegemon8: thanks - do you mean phoron-vlc?15:08

On the other hand, the official way Telegram documents installing is to use their own installer. This all then seems complicated by how it apparently upgrades itself via an Updater app, which would seem to complicate the packaging of it . . .23:58
