RoadRunnerhow is kubuntu different from debian under KDE?02:50
dark-jediunexpected consistency? That's an odd backhanded compliment for a crash message.02:50
dark-jediRoadRunner: Depends on how risky you're willing to run Debian KDE.02:51
ghostnetworkyeah its giving me bizarre errors02:53
ghostnetworkalmost all my permissions are denied or commands don't exist02:53
=== klaus is now known as Guest81446
ghostnetworkany commands to just repair everything even if i have permission denied?02:54
dark-jedighostnetwork: If permission is denied, you would have to log in as root to run the commands. And, the commands to repair would depend entirely on the error messages you get.02:56
dark-jedighostnetwork: I have to run though. Hopefully someone else in this channel will be able to get you started on fixing it.02:58
ghostnetworkhow would i go about doing that? i am using macbook pro firstgen intel. my reg boot up is messed to begin with (but kubuntu did run normally) i turn it on , hold down option and i click on kubuntu ( it would normally run last night)02:58

RoadRunnercoming from a world of Windows, is the learning curve likely to be easier for me with kubuntu or with debian under kde, or is the difference minimal?03:34
ghostnetworkany idea how to log in as root? i don't have very many options.... but i just want to wipe the drive on my laptop so i can retry getting kubuntu/xubuntu installed03:38

rageheadguys it's possible to downgrade the kernel, right?16:23
rageheadI will transfer the config files from the current standard kubuntu kernel to an older one that has proven to be 100% on my system16:24
ragehead100% stable* of course lol16:24
rageheadtalking about 15.1016:26
eluusI have video performance issues with Kubuntu 15.10, is there anyone who can help?16:29
Smurphyeluus: video perfomance ? What GPU you using ?16:30
eluusit's intel16:30
Smurphyah - ok. And you use vlc ?16:30
eluusyeah16:31
Smurphyfor video playback ? or what do you mean by video performance issues ?16:31
eluuson vlc it's only problematic when I connect it to an external display16:31
Smurphyso what is happening ?16:31
eluusthe issue is mainly on external display and when playing youtube videos16:31
eluushtml5 or flash16:31
eluusit's a IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4400 to be precise16:31
SmurphyThere is no acceleration for it.16:31
eluusIt's a recent and reasonably fast computer it shouldn't have performance issues16:32
eluusIt didn't have these issues with unity16:33
Smurphyyes. I have the same GPU, and have no issues with the performance.16:33
eluuson kubuntu?16:33
eluus15.10?16:33
SmurphyYes. Kubuntu 15.10 on a Mac Mini 2012 6,2 - with i7 Quad Core 2.6GHhz CPU16:34
SmurphyBut - there is no acceleration in the browsers.16:34
Smurphyhardware acceleration, so it all goes through the CPU.16:34
eluusmy resolution is 2560x1440, maybe that's what is causing the problem16:35
Smurphyno. Should not. I have 2 full HD screens connected to it.16:35
eluuswow16:36
eluusand  can you play videos on them smoothly?16:36
rageheadsuch amaze16:36
Smurphyyes.16:36
Smurphyone on each even. Works nice. On connected through Display port, the other through HDMI. Just fine.16:36
eluusk so, what do you think my problem is?16:36
SmurphyDo you have issues/problems notified in /var/log/Xorg.log16:37
Smurphy?16:37
eluuslet me check16:38
Smurphy egrep "(EE)|(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log16:38
SmurphySorry, use this one:16:39
Smurphyegrep "\(EE\)|\(WW\)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log16:39
eluusthese could be related:16:40
eluus[     3.781] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting16:40
eluus[     3.781] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev16:40
eluus[     3.782] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa16:40
Smurphyyes. Looks like your system does not get a decent mode information for your screens.16:40
eluusHow can I fix that?16:42
SmurphyCheck out other cables :}16:45
eluuswhat cables?16:49
SmurphyVideo. It is unable to read the EDID from the screen...16:50
eluusReally? do you think it's an hardware issue?16:52
Smurphyit should not. But it also depends on the drivers you use./16:53
SmurphyUsing the intel_drv.so16:54
eluusIt's all default drivers16:54
Smurphycheck in the /var/log/Xorg.log file.16:54
Smurphycompiled for 1.17.2, module version = 2.99.91716:54
Smurphycould be that I added some other drivers.16:55
eluus[     3.780] compiled for 1.17.2, module version = 2.99.91716:55
eluus[     3.780] Module class: X.Org Video Driver16:55
SmurphyWill have to leave -> we go swimming every mondeay evening with the kids.16:56

rageheadCan somebody please help me what I can do to get rid of this error here when compiling the kernel? https://dpaste.de/xN1p17:46
CrystalMare2BluesKaj: are you around ?17:53
BluesKajCrystalMare2, yes, I'm here17:55
CrystalMare2Its happend again17:56
CrystalMare2After we fixed it the other day, I've been using it for the rest of the day17:56
CrystalMare2Now I restarted the machine, and its broken yet again :(17:56
CrystalMare2you wut18:01
CrystalMare2I did CTRL ALT F218:01
CrystalMare2And then CTRL ALT F7 to return to X18:02
CrystalMare2and that seems to have fixed it18:02
CrystalMare2Why it does this, I have no idea18:02
BluesKajCrystalMare2, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log  to see if there are any obvious errors18:05
BluesKajX is probly crashing some lib or such when booting18:06
CrystalMare2nothing in there18:06
BluesKajdoyou mean it's empty or no errors?18:07

rageheadguys, we have a racing game on linux! grid autosport is available for linux!18:11
rageheadI'm so happy right now, it's downloading18:11
rageheadfinally vroomvroom with linux18:12
BluesKajragehead, btw why are compiling a kernel , is it a specialist kernel of some kind/18:12
BluesKaj?18:12
rageheadBlueKaj: yes, also both of the standard shipped 4.2.0 kernel have issues for me when booting18:13
rageheadI have my startup SSD encrypted and when booting up, the keyboard doesn't work for some reason18:14
BluesKajragehead, do you have some kind of unique or exotic hardware ?18:14
rageheadso then I need to reset the machine with the hw button and the GRUB menu pops up. then when booting, the screen stays black but I can type in my pw blindly and it boots up18:14
rageheadnot really, just a 2500k on a z77 mobo w 7870 AMD graphics18:15
rageheadwith mint kde I had no issues like this, however I wanted plasma 5 so I switched to kubuntu18:15
rageheadon mint kde I used 3.16 kernel, I wish to stay with that kernel. however make throws that error at me and I have no clue how to fix it18:16
rageheadmaybe I'll just go for a precompiled kernel then first...18:16
BluesKajyou can edit grub to showup without being hidden and enable sddm in the VT/TTY , sudo systemctl enable sddm18:16
rageheadBluesKaj: thanks, wait a second, I'll try to do this right now18:17
BluesKajsddm being the login page for kubuntu18:17
rageheaddoes it need to be TTY?18:17
BluesKajyes it's best18:17
rageheadokay18:17
rageheadbut wait, sddm is the loginmanager, right?18:18
BluesKajyes18:18
rageheadto show grub at every boot I have to modify the loginmanager?18:18
BluesKajno18:18
BluesKajjust make the sddm appear18:19
denza242ragehead: alternatively, hold the shift key down while booting18:20
BluesKajyou can edit grub in kate  then update grub after making the timeout changes18:20
=== ian is now known as Guest24362
denza242^you'll need to be superuser18:20
BluesKaj`gotta use kdesudo in order to save changes18:21
denza242ragehead: alternatively you could use grub-customizer, but I'm not sure if it's in teh official repos18:21
denza242!info grub-customizer18:21
ubottuPackage grub-customizer does not exist in wily18:21
rageheadI'll use vim :D18:21
denza242that works I suppose18:21
rageheadI'm currently searching for the grub config files18:21
BluesKajdenza242, don't suggest that app ,,it's real clunky and dangerous18:21
denza242I see18:21
denza242BluesKaj: plus it's GTK based :P18:22
rageheadI'm quite new in the linux world but I'm coming from Mac OS X, not linux so I already know the bash18:22
rageheadnow windows* sorry18:22
rageheadI need more coffee18:22
rageheadnot* yikes!18:22
BluesKajragehead, in the run comman,  kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub18:23
BluesKajcommand18:23
BluesKajrun command ,right click on the desktop, or alt+F218:24
BluesKajafter editing save, then run sudo update-grub in the terminal18:26
rageheadthank you guys, I will now try to reboot and see if it worked. it's just a workaround, but a workaround is still better than having to reset manually at every boot18:26
rageheadhopefully brb18:26
rageheadre18:36
BluesKajragehead, this is what my grub looks like if you need to compare http://pastebin.ca/328737618:36
rageheadit doesn't seem to be working when grub is showing up, I guess it has to do with some kind of fallback mode the OS utilizes when it sees that it wasn't shut down properly18:37
rageheadthe issue remains18:37
BluesKajnot shutting down properly?18:38
rageheadBluesKaj: thank you for your help, I just compared them and there doesn't seem to be a difference18:38
denza242ragehead: I might be able to help, what's the problem exactly (I joined a bit after you and 'Kaj were talking)18:38
rageheadyes, I mean when I first boot, the cryptsetup asks for the pw of the boot partition and I can see the pw field where I need to enter my pw18:39
BluesKajragehead, which kubuntu?18:39
rageheadhowever I can't type anything and have to reset the computer manually. then, the next boot, the screens stay black but I can type in the pw and it boots up18:39
rageheaddenza242: thanks :)18:39
rageheadit's kubuntu 15.1018:40
denza242ragehead: GPU vendor?18:40
BluesKajare your packages up to date18:40
rageheadyes, everything is up to date and I have an AMD card with the proprietary drivers18:41
rageheadwait a second, I got an idea: maybe I need to pick the other driver that end in "-updates"18:41
BluesKajthere's a lot of upgrading going on to plasma 518:42
rageheadfglrx-updates I mean18:42
BluesKajragehead, no don't choose the -updates driver18:42
BluesKajfglrx should work18:43
rageheadokay18:43
BluesKajwait until the packages to you resktop etc are upgraded then if there still apoblem , the experiment with the gpu driver18:44
BluesKajdesktop even18:44
rageheadokay, will do18:45
rageheaduntil then I guess I'll have to push the button when booting up18:45
BluesKajragehead, do sudo apt-get dist-update18:46
rageheadit's more of an cosmetic issue, but I guess you know it is, one always wants to have it working perfectly18:46
BluesKajoops, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade18:46
rageheadI see, I noticed ;D18:47
rageheadsomething got updated, I will try again18:47
BluesKajthe reason is that kernel upgrades usually require a dist-upgrade18:49
BluesKajoops, he's gone again18:49
rageheadre19:12
rageheadI tried updating and upgrading, it didn't work19:12
BluesKajthe reason is that kernel upgrades usually require an apt-get dist-upgrade19:14
rageheadI don't seem to be first one having this problem, however all the fixes I can find are fixes for distros that use init instead of systemd and I cannot find a way to configure my systemd to include usb ehci usb uhci and usb ohci modules19:14
rageheadI did that19:14
BluesKajusb modules for what?19:15
rageheadhttps://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/non-working-usb-keyboard-at-luks-prompt-14-1-a-4175484332/ e.g.19:15
rageheadthere is no mkinitrd on my machine and I guess that's normal19:16
=== root is now known as Guest64204
BluesKajif you installed a non-default kernel then it's not easy to track don your problems, so i'd be wary of that kind of fix19:19
rageheadokay, but it's the standard kernel and this issue exists since install19:20
BluesKajI'd research drivers for your gpu, perhaps fglrx isn't the correct driver...amd seems to have several choixes that sort of work , but not perfectly19:23
rageheadI now added some entries to initramfs, I will now try it again19:23
SimoniousI followed the instructions here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Ubuntu_.2814.04.3.29 starting with wget... and it boots, things are working, but apt-get update gives: http://pastebin.com/ZDFzADYq - I'm still poking at it, but I'd welcome suggestions to get apt-get working properly.19:25
BluesKajSimonious, don't run as root, and make sure your sources.list is correct for your kubuntu version19:27
SimoniousBluesKaj: I don't know how to make sure the sources.list is correct - it's a clean, fresh, new download..  *shrugs*19:28
BluesKajSimonious,  run,  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade19:29
BluesKajnot as root just use sudo19:30
SimoniousBluesKaj: looks like the same result at first glance: http://pastebin.com/sAK6FRCq19:32
BluesKajSimonious, what's this  /root$19:34
Simoniousmy current working dir19:34
BluesKajis this a raspi setup , arm architecture19:34
Simoniousit's where I happened to be when I switched out of the root account - no, it's a Beaglebone Black19:34
SimoniousI did this on a raspi last week and that worked fine.19:35
Simoniousmight end up going back to that..  had some file system crashes on that though19:35
SimoniousMay have just been a bad SD card, might be worth giving it another chance.19:35
BluesKajbest to ask in #raspberrypi19:37
rageheadre19:43
rageheadI tried adding some entries other people claimed on the launchpad bugtracker to be the fixed with no success. I don't care anymore, most important thing is, that this thing boots - no matter how19:44
SimoniousBluesKaj: well hand editig resolv.conf worked, though it does specify not to hand edit the file, cause it'll get overwritten.  Still it's working for the moment, so I guess I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.19:45
Simoniousthanks again19:45
rageheadah yes, thanks BluesKaj, I forgot to mention this19:46
BluesKajSimonious, you can edit your settings to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and they won't be overwritten despite the warning19:50
Simoniouscool19:53
