=== ping is now known as Guest51899 [01:29] having an issue. macbook pro first gen intel running kubuntu is giving me an error message (initramfs) [01:30] kubuntu contains a file system with errors , check forced [01:31] Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphaned file link list found [01:31] unexpected consistency found run fsck manually [01:35] anyone there? [01:49] ???? [02:50] how is kubuntu different from debian under KDE? [02:50] unexpected consistency? That's an odd backhanded compliment for a crash message. [02:51] RoadRunner: Depends on how risky you're willing to run Debian KDE. [02:53] yeah its giving me bizarre errors [02:53] almost all my permissions are denied or commands don't exist === klaus is now known as Guest81446 [02:54] any commands to just repair everything even if i have permission denied? [02:56] ghostnetwork: 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. [02:58] ghostnetwork: I have to run though. Hopefully someone else in this channel will be able to get you started on fixing it. [02:58] how 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) [03:15] basicaly, I am choosing a distro for game develpment and need advice === regedit is now known as regedit_ === regedit_ is now known as regedit === regedit is now known as regedit_ [03:34] coming 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? [03:38] any 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 installed === ping is now known as Guest57347 === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [06:22] RoadRunner: those who run KDE on Debian are generally experts [06:22] we make Kubuntu friendly for everybody [06:23] that said, download some ISOs and try them out as a live session [06:23] see what you like === bleach is now known as KB7LX-Idaho === KB7LX-Idaho is now known as bleach_ === bleach_ is now known as KB7LX-Idaho === jayhunold is now known as jhunold === GuKKDevel_ is now known as GuKKDevel === kubuntu is now known as Guest14237 [10:04] Hi all [10:04] I'm having issues with akonadi_agent_launcher using a lot of memory.

[13:12] thanks in advancew [13:15] mausschubser, update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade [13:16] I will try, thanks [13:30] BluesKaj: unfortunately it didn help [13:31] mausschubser, which graphics ? [13:31] intel [13:31] hd4000, I think [13:31] it worked finde until today [13:32] ok which kubuntu version? [13:32] 14.04 [13:33] mausschubser, lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' , include the quotes [13:34] think it's probly the i915 [13:34] i have to leave once again [13:34] brb [13:35] youe right [13:35] you're right [13:35] i915 [13:38] are you using any ppa sources ? and make sure you have the backportd enable in your sources.list or package manager [13:39] backports enabled [13:40] backports are enabled [13:41] I am not quite sure about ppa but I think I have one [13:42] as I cannot jump between the windows this has become a single-task-system [13:43] it all happened after updating the kernel, I think I will try an older one [13:43] cu later [15:49] hello, I am on 15.10. Could you please tell me whether there is any way to add multiple wallpapers in FOLDER VIEW SETTINGS > WALLPAPER? or is there any way we can right click on a wallpaper and set it as desktop background? === frecel_ is now known as frecel [16:23] guys it's possible to downgrade the kernel, right? [16:24] I will transfer the config files from the current standard kubuntu kernel to an older one that has proven to be 100% on my system [16:24] 100% stable* of course lol [16:26] talking about 15.10 [16:29] I have video performance issues with Kubuntu 15.10, is there anyone who can help? [16:30] eluus: video perfomance ? What GPU you using ? [16:30] it's intel [16:30] ah - ok. And you use vlc ? [16:31] yeah [16:31] for video playback ? or what do you mean by video performance issues ? [16:31] on vlc it's only problematic when I connect it to an external display [16:31] so what is happening ? [16:31] the issue is mainly on external display and when playing youtube videos [16:31] html5 or flash [16:31] it's a Intel® HD Graphics 4400 to be precise [16:31] There is no acceleration for it. [16:32] It's a recent and reasonably fast computer it shouldn't have performance issues [16:33] It didn't have these issues with unity [16:33] yes. I have the same GPU, and have no issues with the performance. [16:33] on kubuntu? [16:33] 15.10? [16:34] Yes. Kubuntu 15.10 on a Mac Mini 2012 6,2 - with i7 Quad Core 2.6GHhz CPU [16:34] But - there is no acceleration in the browsers. [16:34] hardware acceleration, so it all goes through the CPU. [16:35] my resolution is 2560x1440, maybe that's what is causing the problem [16:35] no. Should not. I have 2 full HD screens connected to it. [16:36] wow [16:36] and can you play videos on them smoothly? [16:36] such amaze [16:36] yes. [16:36] one on each even. Works nice. On connected through Display port, the other through HDMI. Just fine. [16:36] k so, what do you think my problem is? [16:37] Do you have issues/problems notified in /var/log/Xorg.log [16:37] ? [16:38] let me check [16:38] egrep "(EE)|(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:39] Sorry, use this one: [16:39] egrep "$EE$|$WW$" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:40] these could be related: [16:40] [ 3.781] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting [16:40] [ 3.781] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev [16:40] [ 3.782] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [16:40] yes. Looks like your system does not get a decent mode information for your screens. [16:42] How can I fix that? [16:45] Check out other cables :} [16:49] what cables? [16:50] Video. It is unable to read the EDID from the screen... [16:52] Really? do you think it's an hardware issue? [16:53] it should not. But it also depends on the drivers you use./ [16:54] Using the intel_drv.so [16:54] It's all default drivers [16:54] check in the /var/log/Xorg.log file. [16:54] compiled for 1.17.2, module version = 2.99.917 [16:55] could be that I added some other drivers. [16:55] [ 3.780] compiled for 1.17.2, module version = 2.99.917 [16:55] [ 3.780] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [16:56] Will have to leave -> we go swimming every mondeay evening with the kids. [16:56] Be back later. [16:56] k cya === struk|desk is now known as struk|desk|away [17:46] Can somebody please help me what I can do to get rid of this error here when compiling the kernel? https://dpaste.de/xN1p [17:53] BluesKaj: are you around ? [17:55] CrystalMare2, yes, I'm here [17:56] Its happend again [17:56] After we fixed it the other day, I've been using it for the rest of the day [17:56] Now I restarted the machine, and its broken yet again :( [18:01] you wut [18:01] I did CTRL ALT F2 [18:02] And then CTRL ALT F7 to return to X [18:02] and that seems to have fixed it [18:02] Why it does this, I have no idea [18:05] CrystalMare2, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there are any obvious errors [18:06] X is probly crashing some lib or such when booting [18:06] nothing in there [18:07] doyou mean it's empty or no errors? [18:10] no errors [18:11] K, got hexchat to work [18:11] hackschat [18:11] xd [18:11] guys, we have a racing game on linux! grid autosport is available for linux! [18:11] I'm so happy right now, it's downloading [18:12] finally vroomvroom with linux [18:12] ragehead, btw why are compiling a kernel , is it a specialist kernel of some kind/ [18:12] ? [18:13] BlueKaj: yes, also both of the standard shipped 4.2.0 kernel have issues for me when booting [18:14] I have my startup SSD encrypted and when booting up, the keyboard doesn't work for some reason [18:14] ragehead, do you have some kind of unique or exotic hardware ? [18:14] so 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 up [18:15] not really, just a 2500k on a z77 mobo w 7870 AMD graphics [18:15] with mint kde I had no issues like this, however I wanted plasma 5 so I switched to kubuntu [18:16] on 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 it [18:16] maybe I'll just go for a precompiled kernel then first... [18:16] you can edit grub to showup without being hidden and enable sddm in the VT/TTY , sudo systemctl enable sddm [18:17] BluesKaj: thanks, wait a second, I'll try to do this right now [18:17] sddm being the login page for kubuntu [18:17] does it need to be TTY? [18:17] yes it's best [18:17] okay [18:18] but wait, sddm is the loginmanager, right? [18:18] yes [18:18] to show grub at every boot I have to modify the loginmanager? [18:18] no [18:19] just make the sddm appear [18:20] ragehead: alternatively, hold the shift key down while booting [18:20] you can edit grub in kate then update grub after making the timeout changes === ian is now known as Guest24362 [18:20] ^you'll need to be superuser [18:21] `gotta use kdesudo in order to save changes [18:21] ragehead: alternatively you could use grub-customizer, but I'm not sure if it's in teh official repos [18:21] !info grub-customizer [18:21] Package grub-customizer does not exist in wily [18:21] I'll use vim :D [18:21] that works I suppose [18:21] I'm currently searching for the grub config files [18:21] denza242, don't suggest that app ,,it's real clunky and dangerous [18:21] I see [18:22] BluesKaj: plus it's GTK based :P [18:22] I'm quite new in the linux world but I'm coming from Mac OS X, not linux so I already know the bash [18:22] now windows* sorry [18:22] I need more coffee [18:22] not* yikes! [18:23] ragehead, in the run comman, kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub [18:23] command [18:24] run command ,right click on the desktop, or alt+F2 [18:26] after editing save, then run sudo update-grub in the terminal [18:26] thank 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 boot [18:26] hopefully brb [18:36] re [18:36] ragehead, this is what my grub looks like if you need to compare http://pastebin.ca/3287376 [18:37] it 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 properly [18:37] the issue remains [18:38] not shutting down properly? [18:38] BluesKaj: thank you for your help, I just compared them and there doesn't seem to be a difference [18:38] ragehead: I might be able to help, what's the problem exactly (I joined a bit after you and 'Kaj were talking) [18:39] yes, 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 pw [18:39] ragehead, which kubuntu? [18:39] however 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 up [18:39] denza242: thanks :) [18:40] it's kubuntu 15.10 [18:40] ragehead: GPU vendor? [18:40] are your packages up to date [18:41] yes, everything is up to date and I have an AMD card with the proprietary drivers [18:41] wait a second, I got an idea: maybe I need to pick the other driver that end in "-updates" [18:42] there's a lot of upgrading going on to plasma 5 [18:42] fglrx-updates I mean [18:42] ragehead, no don't choose the -updates driver [18:43] fglrx should work [18:43] okay [18:44] wait until the packages to you resktop etc are upgraded then if there still apoblem , the experiment with the gpu driver [18:44] desktop even [18:45] okay, will do [18:45] until then I guess I'll have to push the button when booting up [18:46] ragehead, do sudo apt-get dist-update [18:46] it's more of an cosmetic issue, but I guess you know it is, one always wants to have it working perfectly [18:46] oops, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:47] I see, I noticed ;D [18:47] something got updated, I will try again [18:49] the reason is that kernel upgrades usually require a dist-upgrade [18:49] oops, he's gone again [19:12] re [19:12] I tried updating and upgrading, it didn't work [19:14] the reason is that kernel upgrades usually require an apt-get dist-upgrade [19:14] I 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 modules [19:14] I did that [19:15] usb modules for what? [19:15] https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/non-working-usb-keyboard-at-luks-prompt-14-1-a-4175484332/ e.g. [19:16] there is no mkinitrd on my machine and I guess that's normal === root is now known as Guest64204 [19:19] if 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 fix [19:20] okay, but it's the standard kernel and this issue exists since install [19:23] I'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 perfectly [19:23] I now added some entries to initramfs, I will now try it again [19:25] I 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. [19:27] Simonious, don't run as root, and make sure your sources.list is correct for your kubuntu version [19:28] BluesKaj: I don't know how to make sure the sources.list is correct - it's a clean, fresh, new download.. *shrugs* [19:29] Simonious, run, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [19:30] not as root just use sudo [19:32] BluesKaj: looks like the same result at first glance: http://pastebin.com/sAK6FRCq [19:34] Simonious, what's this /root$ [19:34] my current working dir [19:34] is this a raspi setup , arm architecture [19:34] it's where I happened to be when I switched out of the root account - no, it's a Beaglebone Black [19:35] I did this on a raspi last week and that worked fine. [19:35] might end up going back to that.. had some file system crashes on that though [19:35] May have just been a bad SD card, might be worth giving it another chance. [19:37] best to ask in #raspberrypi [19:43] re [19:44] I 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 how [19:45] BluesKaj: 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] thanks again [19:46] ah yes, thanks BluesKaj, I forgot to mention this [19:50] Simonious, you can edit your settings to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and they won't be overwritten despite the warning [19:53] cool === Steffstoff is now known as Guest92523 [20:11] Simonious, correction /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head, at one time both base and head were editable, looks like now it's just "head" [20:19] BluesKaj: ty [20:25] I am having this issue. can't boot from any drives. it doesn't know any sudo commands and denies me access to most commands...(initramfs) [21:15] kubuntu vs LM KDE go [21:21] henry_, no polls please ...do the research yourself === floyd is now known as Guest70214 [23:39] hello [23:40] anyone here? [23:52] pfff
