[02:38] <francis_> Hi! Can the SMART extended scan detect bad sectors on hard disk?
[02:51] <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.
[02:52] <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 :)
[02:56] <francis_> Thanks Keith
[03:37] <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?
[03:38] <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
[03:40] <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?
[03:45] <Phoenixz> nvidia-settings detect monitors crashes, obviously
[03:45] <Phoenixz> Kubuntu driver manager software hangs
[03:46] <Phoenixz> So I cannot check / change the nvidia driver either, which would be helpful..
[03:50] <Phoenixz> Is there anything I can do to get this to work?
[04:05] <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..
[04:42] <YeSHua74> I am not sure if someone would be willing to help me but, I am completely new to linux distros and am having trouble crossing over...I have read the help pages...I still am lost. Help?

[07:55] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:47] <noaXess> morning.. does anybody use latest filezilla? i have troubles to manage sites, can't edit or navigat trough site fields.. and ibus-daemon goes up to over 100% if i try to neter or press tab key in site config, see this http://i.imgur.com/JNWo4o3.png
[08:48] <noaXess> i'm on utopic, tried default filezilla package or latest from filezilla-project.org.. both same problem
[09:05] <noaXess> strange thing is, if i press tab key in site config and switch windows with ALT-TAB, in site config it also switches to next field
[09:34] <daniel> I need help
[09:35] <Guest49927> My clock is all wrong. It's in UTC time and many days ahead.
[09:58] <aris> hi all i dont want to sound mean but i have problems using kubuntu weekly stable ppa s is the situation going to improve why should i continue using kubuntu instead of another rolling release
[09:59] <aris> sorry rolling distri i meant
[10:01] <hateball> !ppa
[10:02] <hateball> Kubuntu is not rolling release, and PPAs are unsupported. Pretty easy.
[10:04] <aris>  hateball thanx didnt know PPAs are unsupported
[10:05] <aris> thanx ubottu
[10:13] <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
[10:17] <arpan_> hello
[10:18] <arpan_> is there a bug in instant messenger application in kubuntu 15.10?
[10:20] <arpan_> anybody here?
[10:29] <hateball> arpan_: I think you will need to provide a bit more detail
[10:29] <hateball> I am sure there are several bugs
[10:32] <arpan_> everytime I click on connect in the IM applet in the system tray, it never connects successfully. I'm talking about google accounts
[10:37] <mparillo> I think I had something similar. When I checked my GMail, I read something about having to lower my security.
[10:40] <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.
[10:46] <mparillo> I would pick one of these three, and add your debugging info:
[10:47] <mparillo> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354949
[10:47] <mparillo> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354473

[11:59] <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
[12:00] <colamann> kubuntu 14.04, gefore gt 640, driver version 340.96, two iiyama pl2790 monitors
[12:01] <hateball> colamann: If you feel like it, you could try switching to the 355 driver using https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[12:04] <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
[12:06] <colamann> what about the 352 driver? got that one in the repos altready
[12:06] <hateball> colamann: yes sure, worth a try
[12:07] <hateball> 340 is quite old
[12:07] <hateball> 358 is unstable, so avoid that at least
[12:07] <colamann> ok, thanks for the info
[12:08] <colamann> don't know if it's connected, i started having some qt glitches after an update a few weeks ago
[12:18] <BluesKaj> hateball, nvidia-340? if so it's still recommended for some inexpensive nvidia cards like my 8400gs
[12:19] <colamann_> hateball: i think 352 did the trick and removed the qt glitches as well, thanks!
[12:20] <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
[14:18] <ancky> kde isn't auto mounting usb sticks
[14:18] <ancky> I checked system settings and auto mount is enabled
[14:20] <ancky> what programs are responsible for automounting?
[14:23] <lordievader> Wouldn't be surprised if systemd/udev is responsible for it nowadays.
[14:24] <lordievader> You can do it through udev anyways.
[14:28] <ancky> lordievader: okay I will look into that
[15:39] <ancky> udev doesn't look out of the ordinary
[15:39] <ancky> for good measure I copied the rules from a workstation where mounting works but nothing happened
[15:40] <ancky> any ideas where to go from here?
[16:18] <Wealthy> Hello
[16:19] <BluesKaj> hey
[16:57] <ancky> alright dbus was the bad apple, I reinstalled it and restarted the workstation, everything automounts again
[18:13] <mustang_> Hey Ya'll
[18:15] <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
[18:18] <mustang_> I tried the KISS principal and opened up the partition manager app, but it didn't show up anywhere lol
[19:14] <LeeJunFan> mustang_: That's not how MTP works, I'm afraid. It's not a block device.
[21:14] <MichaelP> For viewing photo's i use eog ... In Kubuntu it is missing the borders.. making it impossible to grab edges to resize
[21:47] <lordievader> What is wrong with Gwenview?
[21:51] <Valinor81> join #irc.epiknet.org/6667 #jeux
[22:58] <Phoenixz> Anybody knows how I can stop X from auto creating an xorg.conf file at boot?
[22:59] <keithzg> Phoenixz: Wait, is your system literally generating an xorg.conf file?
[23:00] <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] <genii> It sure shouldn't be
[23:27] <mustang_> Wasn't it setup in previous verisons of Kub as a dev
[23:32] <Vutras> hi
[23:32] <Vutras> can anyone enter kubuntu website?
[23:33] <keithzg> "Error establishing a database connection"
[23:33] <Vutras> yeap, linuxmint.com too
[23:34] <Vutras> and ubuntugnome.com down too
[23:34] <keithzg> Hmm, some sort of generalized outage I guess?
[23:36] <Unit193> Not really, those are different errors and Mint is entirely unrelated.
[23:36] <keithzg> Unit193: Fair enough.
[23:37] <keithzg> Aha yeah it looks like ubuntugnome.com is just showing the default apache2-on-ubuntu page, eh? Well at least we know their site is run on Ubuntu ;)
[23:39] <yofel> looks back up again
