| soee_ | valorie: most likely they like you :) | 00:15 |
| valorie | ha, only because they don't *know* me | 00:16 |
| valorie | lol | 00:16 |
| shurtagul | So I have a smallish problem, everything mostly works but I added the cl unstable ppa awhile ago, didnt realize that it was the daily untested builds. I removed the ppa but is there a way to revert back my upgrades? Some things wont install because Im in unstable, like muon. | 00:43 |
| valorie | shurtagul: you might use ppa-purge | 00:47 |
| valorie | !ppa-purge | 00:47 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 00:47 |
| shurtagul | valorie: ok so since I removed the ppa, do I add it then use ppa-purge? | 00:50 |
| valorie | you don't have to add it I don't think | 00:51 |
| valorie | you have to install ppa-purge though | 00:51 |
| shurtagul | thanks valorie youre very helpful | 00:52 |

| regedit | hello | 03:24 |
| regedit | so kubuntu (or is it apt?) *used* to delete older kernels (keeping 1 older version around, i think) automatically. but recently (after upgrading to 15.10 maybe?) all kernels keep piling up, old ones do not get autoremoved anymore | 03:24 |

| ericcaron | allo , ello :) | 04:41 |
| ericcaron | Kubuntu is running a bit slow for me (not much installed as of yet) is there a way to speed up the loading of programs safely? or is Kubuntu generally slow because of how it's "built"? | 04:44 |
| valorie | shurtagul: try `sudo apt install -f` | 05:23 |
| valorie | more than once if necessary | 05:23 |
| valorie | the -f switch is not force, but fix | 05:24 |
| ericcaron | ok | 05:47 |
| valorie | ericcaron: it does seem a bit slower later | 06:16 |
| valorie | it's like the devels now all have SSDs, so they aren't noticing it | 06:17 |
| ericcaron | yeah i am on a ghetto first gen intel macbook pro. stuff loads up sluggish but downloading and installing anything doesn't seem to be too bad. everything seems to work right at least, wishing there was a non-destructive way to boost program load speeds across the board. though i am thinking its a combination of hardware+software. | 06:18 |
| valorie | could be | 06:28 |
| ericcaron | i will stick to it for now . might swap over to xubuntu or something lighter. just using it to browse the net and explore commands and what not inside of linux itself/ learn to trouble shoot etc | 06:39 |

| pac1 | I'm searching for a facility in kubuntu that will allow me to easily mount unmounted partitions without using fstab. This is a feature of ubuntu and i'm looking for a similar feature in kubuntu. | 15:37 |

| Roey | BluesKaj: heya | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | Hi Roey | 17:46 |
| Roey | was wondering, couldja help me with this, it's been not working for months now.; | 17:46 |
| Roey | first off, | 17:47 |
| Roey | I am not sure what device it is getting assigned | 17:47 |
| Roey | if any | 17:47 |
| Roey | I checked /var/log/syslog and dmesg and found nothing | 17:47 |
| Roey | dmesg | 17:48 |
| Roey | er | 17:48 |
| Roey | sdb | 17:48 |
| Roey | I disconnected and re-connected it, now I see it is /dev/sdb. | 17:49 |
| Roey | then I try "sudo mount /dev/sdb /backup" | 17:49 |
| Roey | ls /backup | 17:49 |
| Roey | (it shows nothing) | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | try to resist hitting the enter key too often...put your question in a single line , makes it more coherent for me | 17:49 |
| Roey | ok | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | is /backup in /etc/fstab? | 17:50 |
| Roey | yeah. | 17:51 |
| Roey | BluesKaj: yes it is. | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | you shouldn't need to mount it then | 17:54 |
| Roey | omg | 17:55 |
| Roey | listen | 17:55 |
| Roey | it won't even get recognized | 17:55 |
| Roey | I'm trying to diagnose this | 17:55 |
| Roey | I tried cfdisk /dev/sdb, | 17:55 |
| Roey | and it asks me to assign it a label. | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | unless the entry is incorrect | 17:55 |
| Roey | which is not what I expect from cfdisk | 17:55 |
| Roey | it doesn't matter, I can't even mount this successfully when I specifically enter the device name | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | pastebin your /etc/fstab file | 17:56 |
| Roey | I'm tryinhg to find out if my disk is damaged or if it is recoverable | 17:56 |
| Roey | one moment.. | 17:56 |
| Roey | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/7DTw7Sis | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | not familiar witht nofail entry, what's that supposed to do | 18:00 |
| Roey | it means that it will not pause the system and ask for user help if the drive is not found | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | ic | 18:03 |
| Dragnslcr | "mount /dev/sdb" is almost certainly wrong. You probably want something like "mount /dev/sdb1" | 18:19 |
| Dragnslcr | As a bit of a sanity check, you can also try "sudo blkid /dev/sdb1" to see what file system it has | 18:19 |
| Roey | jesus fucking christ. | 18:20 |
| Roey | are you not reading what I said above about it not even recognizing the drive? | 18:21 |
| Roey | /dev/sdb: UUID="0b632782-3d8d-4a5e-bea3-2197cd38deef" TYPE="ext4" | 18:21 |
| Dragnslcr | If /dev/sdb is reporting as an ext4 partition, then I would think something is very wrong | 18:35 |
| Dragnslcr | sudo blkid /dev/sda ; /dev/sda: ... PTTYPE="dos" | 18:35 |
| Dragnslcr | /dev/sdb should list a partition table. /dev/sdb1 should be a file system. | 18:36 |
| Roey | hmm | 18:37 |
| Roey | well I have it on /dev/sdb | 18:38 |
| Roey | not /dev/sdb1 | 18:38 |
| Roey | (I hae the filesystem on /dev/sdb) | 18:38 |
| Dragnslcr | That's definitely not normal | 18:39 |
| Roey | ok | 18:39 |
| Roey | I mean tat's the way I've been doing it for ages | 18:39 |
| Roey | (on my backup drive, that is) | 18:39 |
| Dragnslcr | I dunno, maybe it can work, but I've never tried it, and I have no idea why anyone would want to | 18:39 |
| Roey | ok anyway, so: | 18:39 |
| Roey | I cannot seem to mount this. | 18:39 |
| Roey | and I do not see any error messages in the output of "dmesg" or in /var/log/syslog | 18:40 |
| Roey | I am considering just re-formatting this and setting Dirvish back up again. | 18:40 |
| TNVolFan | Any of you guys know how to post to newsgroups anonymous? | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | try #newsgroups, this is kubuntu support | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | or some such chat | 20:46 |
| TNVolFan | ok BluesKaj, this IRC Client is a PITA lol | 20:47 |
