eribianGood Morning08:31
eribianIs this the right place to ask for technical questions?08:31
jubo2G'morning09:08
jubo2still got that bigger laptop unable to boot to Kubuntu15.1009:08
jubo2How can I grab the system log and move that to the internet or another machine?09:10
jubo2using "dpkg - Repair broken packages" wants to install about-distro and kubuntu-desktop but was not able to authenticate them09:11
jubo2using the "safe mode" and then choosing resume normal boot gets the GUI up09:13
valoriejubo2: there is pastebinit - command-line pastebin client09:13
jubo2ok I install that09:13
jubo2ok and where is the system log?09:14
jubo2/var/ something09:15
valoriemm, let me look09:15
jubo2appears to be /var/log/syslog09:15
valoriethe man says -i [filename] Use filename for input09:15
jubo2ok. rebooting09:16
valorieI assume it defaults to http://paste.ubuntu.com09:16
jubo2no networking in there09:17
jubo2I copied the syslog and rebooting to safe mode now09:18
jubo2I don't know what I'm looking for09:27
jubo2http://apaste.info/riW09:28
jubo2last thing it says is rsyslogd exiting09:30
jubo2I cp'd the /var/log/syslog to another file and opened that up when boot to safe mode09:32
jubo2am I getting the right file or the wrong file for figuring out what drops the booting to root shell09:32
jubo2I gotta visit the store now to purhase some coffee09:32
jubo2back09:49
jubo2no.. this is not the portion of the syslog that deals with the unsuccessfull startup09:49
jubo2it is just shutting down things09:50
jubo2I just assumed it'd be in the end of the file09:50
valorie2am here, heading to bed09:50
valoriesome help should be along soon....09:51
jubo2ok. thanks for your help09:51
jubo2I see some JACK errors09:57
jubo2I see also kernel message that it "failed to disable graphics turbo" just prior to rsyslogd exiting on signal 1509:58
Walex2jubo2: that looks like hw problems, like insufficient voltage or overheating10:02
jubo2Last signs of problem I saw before the system went to non-starting state was that some packages I tried to install with apt-get showed some errors10:09
jubo2other than that all was fine and kaboom, rootshell on startup10:09
jubo2the system stops and drops to root shell right after starting filesystem check10:12
jubo2the one that usually runs for couple of second10:13
lordievaderSystemd shell?10:13
jubo2lordievader: "Welcome to emergency mode!"10:13
jubo2root@machine#10:13
lordievaderYeah, that is a systemd shell. A critical service failed to start.10:13
jubo2lordievader: last thing I did was to install some sort of LV2 instruments and filters for Ardour and that experienced some problems10:14
jubo2that's the only thing unusual I can remember before system went into the non-starting state10:15
jubo2what is the latest syslog file?10:15
lordievaderjubo2: There ain't such a think anymore. Use journalctl and systemctl to figure out which service failed.10:16
jubo2ok. how do I do that?10:16
jubo2it's gotta be that the JACK ( which is set to autostart after system startup ) is causing the problem10:17
jubo2Someone halp!10:19
jubo2I should be getting into Xmasy mood and not "stupid main computer will not start"-mode10:19
jubo2no hold on10:22
jubo2the PulseAudio is set to start after startup10:22
jubo2the JACK is prlly loaded when starting up10:23
jubo2lordievader: how do I figure out what service failed to start and how to remedy that?10:24
lordievaderStart with 'sudo systemctl --failed'.10:24
jubo2one item10:25
jubo2systemd-fsck10:25
jubo2It does display the "Checking disks" for a fraction of second before dropping to root shell10:26
lordievaderSo, you have a broken filesystem?10:26
jubo2I dunno10:26
jubo2Should I boot to safe mode and run the fsck there?10:26
lordievaderRather in a live-cd.10:26
jubo2ok. can totally do that10:27
jubo2booting to LiveCD now10:27
jubo2booted10:30
jubo2what's the command to check the disks?10:30
lordievadersudo fsck.ext4 /dev/<some-disk>10:31
lordievaderAssuming you use ext4.10:31
jubo2"/dev/sda is in use"10:33
jubo2I'm supposed to point it to a partition I think10:33
jubo2but I don't recall the numbers of the partition10:33
jubo2I used 'ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/' to find the partition numbers10:35
jubo2lordievader: it complains that /dev/sda5 is mounted10:36
jubo2weird that I am in LiveCD10:36
lordievaderUnmount it then...10:36
jubo2'umount /dev/sda5' says "not mounted"10:37
jubo2yet the fsck says it is mounted10:37
jubo2/dev/sda7 should be the /home partition10:38
jubo2I fsck that10:38
jubo2it seems to have error10:38
jubo2ok. now what?10:38
jubo2retry booting with the /dev/sda7 fixed by fsck?10:39
jubo2the /dev/sda5 gotta be the SWAP10:39
jubo2only rational explanation why it is mounted in LiveCD run10:39
lordievaderjubo2: cat /proc/swaps10:40
jubo2already rebooting10:40
jubo2IT IS UP!10:41

hay207hi, my microphonenis not working, i can only record soundcard output12:30
BluesKajhay207, open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your mic volumes are turned up.12:38
hay207i did12:39
hay207im thinking to reconfigure pulseaudio12:39
BluesKajwhich audio chip ?12:40
hay207intel  hda12:41
hay207Conexant CX20751/212:41
hay207as alsamixer says12:41
hay207i tried changing phonon, pavucontrol too12:42
BluesKajthen you don't need pulseaudio. it's just a another layer of audio processing with switches12:42
hay207the problem is that it was working , idk what i did to miss it up12:43
hay207i uninstall pulseaudio?12:43
hay207mess*12:43
hay207i try deleting ~/config/pulse12:44
BluesKajI have intel hda, and I purged pulseaudio, buyt you may want to keep it if it was working earlier12:45
prillian5I have do an upgrade to 15.10 and KDE5. Now I have following Problem:13:01
prillian5Chrome ask on each startup to be defaultbrowser... choosing yes or no effect in nothing... on next startup the question appear again13:02
prillian5kontact: Ask me everytime for kwallet-Passwort (even if i set "allow everytime access".13:02
prillian5And kmail ask everytime to allow expired certificate (even if I choose "save setting forever"13:03
prillian5whats on with kde ... it's a crap.13:03
iulianprillian5: You could try going to settings->applications and change the default for web browser to chromium instead of "use application based on link contents".13:11
BluesKajprillian5, open system settings>account details>KDE Wallet>Wallet Preferences Tab, uncheck the box beside "enable the KDE wallet subsystem"13:15
prillian5BluesKaj:  I wan't to use Kwallet13:15
prillian5But to request all the time the passwort sucks. Before in KDE4 I never had this problem.13:16
prillian5iulian: It's set to google-chrome13:17
prillian5works like a charm in KDE4 before13:17
BluesKajok, I never use kwallet so I can't help13:17

alejo0107Hi14:40
kitty_am not getting any sound in my system14:48
BluesKajkitty_, the usual problem is automute is enabled in alsamixer14:50
kitty_how to solve that problem then  ?14:51
BluesKajkitty_, open a termina/konsole type alsamixer, then navigatre with the arrow keys to the automute and use the down arrow key to disable automute14:54
BluesKajthen use escape key to exit alsmixer, then type sudo alsactl store and enter , there will be no output if it is saved correctly14:55
kitty_in alsamixer there is nothing as called automute.15:01
soee_juch channels15:01
soee_if any is muted15:01
kitty_there is S/PDIF , S/PDIF 1 , S/PDIF 215:01
BluesKajit's to far right, it might be hidden15:01
BluesKajok open alsmixer again,  F6, choose default15:04
BluesKajkitty_,^15:05
kitty_its already default only15:05
BluesKajwhat other choices are listed in F6?15:05
kitty_0 HDA intel HDMI ,1 HDA intel PCH15:06
BluesKajtry 0 hda , that should be your default soundcard as listed in system settings>multimedia>device preference15:09
kitty_after selecting 0 hda , shall i exit alsamixer?15:12
BluesKajkitty_, did you check automute is disabled?15:14
=== struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk
kitty_still automute is not listed anywhere.?15:16
kitty_i dont know how to check autmute15:16
BluesKajdoes alsamixer show several volume controls after \choosing 0 HDA?15:17
kitty_no . everything is same as previous exceptthat card name and chip name has changed15:19
kitty_all i know is that it is not toggle mute,i.e., toggle mute disabled15:21
BluesKajok, kitty you need to change to hda in system settings>multimedia>device preference, use the test button on the bottom right to listen for a sound , unless you have pulseaudio as the default15:24
BluesKajkitty_, escape from alsamixer for naow15:26
kitty_ok15:26

monihello15:48
monii just having ubuntu 15.10 is it possible to upgrade to kubuntu15:48
BluesKajwhat's your setup ? you can add kubuntu-desktop and choose which desktop environment you want to usea t login or you can do a clean kubuntu install15:52
BluesKajmoni, do you have separate / and /home paritions?15:53
moniblueska, yes i think  so15:56
monido u mean separate drives/15:56
BluesKajthey could be on separate drives , but the usual pratice is separate partitions on the same drive15:57
BluesKajmoni, I'm just thinking if you have them separate, then you could install kubuntu to / and set the /home mountpoint in the installer thereby saving your data, altho backing it up is recommended bvefore any type of OS install16:00

ntznobody since friday was able to help in #buntu - it's wtf or hahaha .. I don't know16:15

ntzI did it .... still no clue what I should disable in sources.list (and/or why)16:17
BluesKajperhaps change the sources list server16:17
ntzI am not ubuntu guy - to be honest I hate ubuntu - so for me it's hard to solve it however I started with debian 15+ years in past so I dare to say, that I know regularly an ubuntu tools16:17
ntzBluesKaj: what did you mean with :: ``perhaps change the sources list server'' ?16:18
moniblueskaj it is taking 1 gb for kubuntu desktop...installing now. .. thanks for the help ;) blueskaj have a nice day :)16:19

dnyhello. i have a quite fresh kubuntu installation. kde does not start anymore, i just get a black screen, not even the login panel. since the last reboot i have installed a few qt5 packages, maybe they broke something. any ideas what i could do?16:32
BluesKajdny, were these qt5 packages installed by upgrading or from a ppa?16:33
dnyi installed them witb aptget, but i think from the official rep16:34
BluesKajso you didn't add appa to the reos?16:34
BluesKajrepos16:34
dnyit was qt5-default, qttools5-dev-tools and qtdeclarative5-dev16:36
dnyhow can i check the repos from the console?16:36
BluesKajdny, are you in a VT shell? ctl+alt+F2 for example16:38
dnyyeah, i have that shell16:39
dnywhere is usually the kde is only a black screen16:40
dnyand xorg log does not show anything weird16:40
BluesKajnomodeset?16:40
dnywhat is that?16:42
BluesKajdny, from the shell /VT  login and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, or reboot and run the recovery kernel in grub, choose the repair16:44
dnyi will try that, thank you16:46
BluesKajrepair in the gui that results16:46
dnybut if i remember it correctly, grub does not show me any options, just boots immediately16:47
BluesKajdny, hold the left shift key down right after the BIO??UEFI screen to get grub to appear16:49
BluesKajBIOS/UEFI16:49
dnythe system is now up to date. but the repair function did not help. still black screen... how can i manually start x or the window manager in kubuntu?17:28
BluesKajdny, ctl+alt+F1-F6 , then login, then run sudo systemctl enable sddm , then startx17:31
dnydoes not work. "operation not supported". a restart gives me "unit sddm.service is masked"17:34
dnyare there any lock files / mechanisms ? It might be the case that my last shutdown was not clean...17:35
aoteaI just followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee as I had someone mention I needed it. And after installing the packages and rebooting I'm just left with a black screen. Can't even get into tty...18:03
aoteaOr well, I get the kubuntu splash, then it goes black, hitting powerbutton brings the kubuntu splash back before shutting down.18:04
dnylost connection :( it seems that sddm was locked. still i just get a black screen instead of x...18:09
dnyit seems i dont even have sddm installed. is that the current windiw managet for kubuntu?18:16
dnyok, with sddm installed i finally see the login screen, but i cannot login18:17
dnywhich packages do i need to reinstall? kind of weird that they just disappeared...18:18

kde_userhow does this work, we join and all stay silent?20:45
hazamonzokde_user: usually you ask a question that someone has a chance of answering20:45
kde_userah ok thanks, i asked one so ill wait a bit more20:46
hazamonzofor example, a bad question would look like this "I need help! Anyone there to help?!?". A good question would be something like "I tried x,y and z but im not sure why x isn't working. Is there anything else i can try ect?"20:47
hazamonzokde_user: I saw your question. It wasn't a question. looked more like a statement. You need help with KWallet... Good for you?20:47

kde_useri was trying not to sound stupid (fail!)20:48

hazamonzokde_user: So whats your issue with Kwallet?20:49
kde_useri installed kubuntu 15.10 fired up my kmail and kwallet popped up i gave it a password and on reboot it asked for the password but i get system failure -9 and cant sign in to kwallet20:51
hazamonzokde_user: Ouch. That does sound nasty. And its the same password you used the first time right?20:52
kde_useryes20:52
hazamonzokde_user: I tried to google if i could find an error like that relating to kwallet but there is very little out there20:54
kde_userthats my only gripe i cant find a tutorial or anything of that nature about kwallet20:55
kde_usermystery wallet20:56
hazamonzokde_user: Well its usually pretty simple. Its stored password for you. Thats about it!20:56
hazamonzoYou could open the wallet manager and try to remove the stored password for KMail maybe?20:56
=== struk|desk|away is now known as struk|desk

BluesKajdunno if disabling kwallet helps tho21:02
hazamonzoNobody upgrade! :D21:02
