| francis_ | Hi! Can the SMART extended scan detect bad sectors on hard disk? | 02:38 |
| keithzg | francis_: In theory, yes. Although in practice I've found that since you're relying on the specifics of however the drive firmware is written, don't *necessarily* trust it; running something like badblocks may still be a good idea. | 02:51 |
| keithzg | francis_: That is to say, an extended SMART scan can find bad sectors, but I'm not 100% sure that it can confirm that there *aren't* any (although in theory it does, I just swear possibly irrationally that it doesn't always). | 02:52 |
| keithzg | francis_: This is a bit more technical of a question that you might get better advice on in #ubuntu-server, there are some smart people lurking there :) | 02:52 |
| francis_ | Thanks Keith | 02:56 |
| Phoenixz | So I got an extra monitor on Kubuntu, and 7 years after the last hilarious multi monitor attempt, it still sucks badly.. I connect the monitor, it works.. yay! Then I reboot.. Big mistake. Now the second monitor doesn't do anything, and system settings set all my fonts to 8px size (I'm not kidding) After multiple attempts to get the second monitor to start, reboots, etc later.. Now Kubuntu thinks that the second monitor is the | 03:37 |
| Phoenixz | primary display, only it won't send a signal there, oh, and my laptop monitor should be shut off, so I'm left with two black screens.. Seriously, is multi monitor possible at all with Kubuntu? 7 years ago it wasn't, and from what I can see now, it still isn't.. Any ideas on how I can actually get kubuntu to show two monitors? | 03:37 |
| Phoenixz | test | 03:38 |
| Phoenixz | \/rant and sorry for that. I'm just really really frustrated with kubuntu atm. Been using it for over 8 years now, and either 16.04 will be a miracle, or I'm out and on to distro's that actually do work | 03:38 |
| Phoenixz | Now I just started with the other monitor disconnected (if I get to the desktop with the other monitor connected, both will go black and I'll have nothing) but if I connect it while I'm on desktop, nothing happens, system settings won't see it | 03:40 |
| Phoenixz | Should dmesg show something when I connect a monitor, mayhaps? | 03:40 |
| Phoenixz | nvidia-settings detect monitors crashes, obviously | 03:45 |
| Phoenixz | Kubuntu driver manager software hangs | 03:45 |
| Phoenixz | So I cannot check / change the nvidia driver either, which would be helpful.. | 03:46 |
| Phoenixz | Is there anything I can do to get this to work? | 03:50 |
| Phoenixz | This is ridiculous, kubuntu is basically just looking for things that work, so it can break them. Connect a monitor? Better make both screens black, and while I'm at it, I'll reset your font sizes again. I'll also stop opening the wallet like I always do and while at it I'll erase all wallet content as well, just to be sure you don't have any passwords or access anywhere anymore.. sddm which was working so-so okay for the | 04:05 |
| Phoenixz | moment? I'll break that too again | 04:05 |
| Phoenixz | I connected a monitor... and I tried in system settings to get it to go on.. And now I can no longer work, I cannot get my system back in a workable state, and completely unrelated things are broken too now, its just ridiculous.. | 04:05 |

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 10:01 |
| hateball | Kubuntu is not rolling release, and PPAs are unsupported. Pretty easy. | 10:02 |
| aris | hateball thanx didnt know PPAs are unsupported | 10:04 |
| aris | thanx ubottu | 10:05 |
| hateball | aris: That's how it is | 10:13 |
| hateball | If you really need rolling release, well then *ubuntu is not for you. Otherwise the 6 months refresh should be OK for most | 10:13 |

| hateball | I am sure there are several bugs | 10:29 |
| === kubuntu is now known as Guest25036 | ||
| arpan_ | everytime I click on connect in the IM applet in the system tray, it never connects successfully. I'm talking about google accounts | 10:32 |
| mparillo | I think I had something similar. When I checked my GMail, I read something about having to lower my security. | 10:37 |
| arpan_ | Is the IM applet in the system tray the same thing known as telepathy? Muon Discover says telepathy is installed but I can't find it in the applications menu. | 10:40 |
| mparillo | I would pick one of these three, and add your debugging info: | 10:46 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:59 |
| colamann | hi everyone. my secondary screen has started flickering. any ideas where to start looking for the problem? it's neither the cable nor the port | 11:59 |
| colamann | kubuntu 14.04, gefore gt 640, driver version 340.96, two iiyama pl2790 monitors | 12:00 |
| hateball | colamann: If you feel like it, you could try switching to the 355 driver using https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 12:01 |
| colamann | hateball: checking what the internet says about compatibility. but it's just the one screen, and it has been working for almost two years (changed from one 22" and one 24" screen to two 27" a week ago, though) | 12:04 |
| colamann | thanks for the tip | 12:04 |
| colamann | what about the 352 driver? got that one in the repos altready | 12:06 |
| hateball | colamann: yes sure, worth a try | 12:06 |
| hateball | 340 is quite old | 12:07 |
| hateball | 358 is unstable, so avoid that at least | 12:07 |
| colamann | ok, thanks for the info | 12:07 |
| colamann | don't know if it's connected, i started having some qt glitches after an update a few weeks ago | 12:08 |
| BluesKaj | hateball, nvidia-340? if so it's still recommended for some inexpensive nvidia cards like my 8400gs | 12:18 |
| colamann_ | hateball: i think 352 did the trick and removed the qt glitches as well, thanks! | 12:19 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: Yes, but for the 4xx series and up there's not really any reason to hang on to it | 12:20 |
| hateball | colamann_: Good stuff | 12:20 |

| ancky | what programs are responsible for automounting? | 14:20 |

| mustang_ | I gotz a question here :) Apparently the dev team changed how android phones connect to Kub, and now they pop up as MTP devices. How can I isolate which device it is "actually" connected to, because I need to do a block per block dump of the device either using dd or gddrescue | 18:15 |

| keithzg | Phoenixz: Wait, is your system literally generating an xorg.conf file? | 22:59 |
| keithzg | Generally these days the default behaviour is just to autoconfigure; I wasn't aware of any circumstances when an actual file would be spit out in such a process. | 23:00 |
