| keithzg | eluus: No big risk; worst-case scenario you just have to uninstall nautilus if it makes things wonky, package management makes all that generally nice and clean. | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| eluus | alright keithzg thanks | 00:06 |
| keithzg | eluus: No problem, let us know if things don't go smoothly and we can try and work it out further. | 00:06 |
| eluus | keithzg: I've installed it and it says the system requires a restart, is this normal? | 00:08 |
| keithzg | eluus: Not necessarily, but neither a reason to worry too much. I'd guess it's either (a) it pulled down some dependencies for some reason that caused changes (ex. to the splash screen) that will only take effect upon reboot, or perhaps more likely (b) there were some pending updates that were installed at the same time. | 00:10 |
| eluus | k | 00:11 |
| keithzg | eluus: I'd say that, for what you're trying to do, you *shouldn't* have to reboot for things to work. | 00:11 |

| bob2021 | 03:08 | |
| bob2021 | hi. i'm still trying to get kubuntu working. i just tried to completely uninstall and reinstall, but now kinit segfaults on login, with no descriptive error message. can anyone help/ | 03:09 |
| SporkWitch | bob2021: what exactly seems to be the issue? and you don't really "uninstall and reinstall" an OS, you just "reinstall," replacing what was there | 03:10 |
| SporkWitch | bob2021: what was the previous issue before you tried this, leading to the new issue? | 03:10 |
| bob2021 | sporkwitch: i had a never-ending series of issues. that last set of issues were with kmail and online accounts. but it was one thing after another. someone in #kde suggested making sure i had the most recent minor version update. | 03:11 |
| bob2021 | sporkwitch: and what i did was to apt-remove, clean the cache, and then install kubuntu-full again | 03:13 |
| SporkWitch | bob2021: would i be correct in assuming that this is basically a clean machine that you can safely nuke? If so, I'm inclined to say let's start from scratch and i'll help you as you go. Much easier than tracing back individual issues mixed with attempted fixes that didn't work / created new issues | 03:13 |
| bob2021 | SporkWitch I really don't want to nuke it. While its largely clean, I did put a lot of effort into getting a few things working | 03:14 |
| SporkWitch | no disrespect, but just because you put a lot of effort in doesn't mean they ARE a lot of effort. You'll often find that while it's work the first time, once you've done it, it's minutes the next time. What were the issues you ran into and got fixed? | 03:15 |
| SporkWitch | (I won't lie, i'm trying to be lazy here, because remote troubleshooting is hell lol) | 03:15 |
| bob2021 | SparkWitch: I don't mean a lot of effort into getting kubuntu working, i mean a lot of effort getting working a set of very complex deep learning libraries which are the reason i installed ubuntu to begin with. | 03:16 |
| bob2021 | it was about a week's work getting them to compile | 03:16 |
| SporkWitch | ah | 03:16 |
| keithzg | SporkWitch: Jumping back quite a bit, but did you ever get your font situation figured out? I'm surprised the GUI installation method isn't working (just lazily did it that way yesterday on my 14.04 desktop here), but you could always just go fully manual and copy to ~/.fonts or /usr/local/share/fonts | 03:16 |
| bob2021 | sporkwitch: you want to remote-desktop in? | 03:17 |
| bob2021 | or ssh? | 03:17 |
| SporkWitch | keithzg: no. I ran into the same problem the last time I did a clean install, but I can't remember the fix. The font shows up in the GUI "fonts" menu, it gets seen by fc-cache, but the terminals (yakuake and konsole) don't actually use them, yet i know the fonts DO work in both terminals once they're installed "the right way" | 03:18 |
| SporkWitch | and i can't seem to find the solution i found before in my googling | 03:18 |
| SporkWitch | bob2021: what's the output of "tail /var/log/syslog" ? | 03:19 |
| SporkWitch | it SHOULD have something relating to that crash | 03:19 |
| keithzg | bob2021: If the problem is a crash upon login, maybe try installing an alternate environment? I always go for openbox, which is about as minimal as you can get, so that's always good as a fallback for retreating to and figuring things out. Admittedly, something like LXDE might be a better option depending on your level of experience. | 03:20 |
| SporkWitch | keithzg: yeah, did the system route, no joy | 03:20 |
| keithzg | SporkWitch: Hmm, interesting. | 03:20 |
| bob2021 | SporkWitch well right now it has more recent errors about my now being booted into Unity. But the last kdeinit messages were preparing to launch kconf_update and then PID terminated | 03:20 |
| SporkWitch | keithzg: yeah. like i said, i ran into it last time too, no idea what's up. and i have rebooted a couple times, just to be safe | 03:20 |
| SporkWitch | bob2021: kubuntu doesn't have unity... | 03:21 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: oh i can get into Unity fine. I'm in it now. But I like kubuntu. It was nice. | 03:21 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Ah, I getcha. | 03:21 |
| bob2021 | SporkWitch: I installed kubuntu by apt installing kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu 15.10 | 03:21 |
| SporkWitch | no wonder you've been running into problems... | 03:21 |
| SporkWitch | it's a bit intense, but i say remove that set of packages and try to install JUST KDE | 03:22 |
| SporkWitch | (or, ideally, start from kubuntu rather than ubuntu) | 03:22 |
| bob2021 | SporkWitch: that risks leaving me with a system that's completely GUI-broken though | 03:22 |
| SporkWitch | i also recommend using LTS releases | 03:22 |
| bob2021 | Yeah - not using an LTS release was a mistake on my part. | 03:22 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Does .xsession-errors have anything in it? | 03:22 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: there aren't timestamps, but i see a bunch about upstart complaining that the main process ended, and that its respawning too fast | 03:23 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Hmm, that doesn't necessarily seem applicable . . . although wait. Upstart? Which release are you on? | 03:24 |
| SporkWitch | keithzg: 15.10 he said | 03:24 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: 15.10 | 03:24 |
| bob2021 | yeah upstart shouldn't be doing anything at all right | 03:24 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: wait! there's an xsession-errors.old that has more in it | 03:25 |
| keithzg | Well, it lingers around a bit AFAIK, since there are still some things that weren't ported, so maaaaybe that makes sense. But it does seem suspicious. | 03:25 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Oh? Any promising leads? | 03:27 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: the xsession errors are not clearly understandable by me. It seems to begin with invalid pixmap, then a lot of no frame loaded, then qt session management error networkidlist argument is NULL | 03:27 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: at the end i get fatal IO Error: Client killed, sending SIGHUP to children, sending SIGTERM to children, then done | 03:28 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Maybe throw it up at https://paste.kde.org/ just in case someone can make sense of it | 03:28 |
| bob2021 | https://paste.kde.org/pji378hlh | 03:30 |
| bob2021 | keithzg see anything in there? | 03:33 |
| bob2021 | or Sporkwitch? :) | 03:33 |
| bob2021 | keithzg and sporkwitch: I found in kern.log, it seems to be saying that kactivitymanger is segfaulting. is that likely the same? | 03:35 |
| keithzg | bob2021: It's a bit above my pay grade, but a segfault seems like a likely culprit, ja | 03:36 |
| bob2021 | keithzg but in kactivitymanager? would that be reported as kinit5 crashing? | 03:36 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: actually i don't think it is the same. i think its more recent. there's a kwalletd5 segfault earlier | 03:37 |
| bob2021 | keithzg and a whole bunch of kded5 segfaults | 03:38 |
| bob2021 | see here: https://paste.kde.org/pvrtvwsks | 03:39 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Yikes | 03:41 |
| bob2021 | is that a technical term? | 03:43 |
| keithzg | bob2021: hah, yup, very technical | 03:43 |
| bob2021 | it seems to me, keithzg, that it means there's a bad library version incompatibility somewhere. | 03:43 |
| bob2021 | if you look at the timestamps, you'll see that there are two attempts to load kinit after i did the reinstall | 03:44 |
| bob2021 | the first failure is kactivitymanage | 03:44 |
| bob2021 | and almost all of the segfaults relate to libxcb | 03:45 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Hmm. What graphics drivers are you running on that machine? | 03:45 |
| bob2021 | keithzg actually i may just have found an answer (only because of your diagnostic suggestions): http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=124557 | 03:46 |
| bob2021 | let me give it a try... | 03:46 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Fingers crossed! | 03:46 |
| bob2021 | acutally when i try to remove just libqt5x11extras5, it wants to remove 244 packages with it! | 03:47 |
| keithzg | bob2021: What does "apt-cache policy libqt5x11extras5" say? | 03:48 |
| bob2021 | keithzg it says version 5.5.1-1 is installed, and 5.4.2-2 is what's available from the ubuntu repo | 03:49 |
| bob2021 | is it possible that means its from a repo I had turned off? that would explain everything... | 03:50 |
| bob2021 | yes that is the answer... it should be at version 5.4.2, not 5.5.1. can you advise how to make sure i pull out every one of these wrong-repo packages and reinstall from right-repo? | 03:51 |
| keithzg | bob2021: With a tiny bit of scripting that shouldn't be hard . . . I once had to just reinstall every package on my system because I had done a version upgrade with RAM that had started to go bad! I forget offhand how to recursively reinstall, however, hmm. | 03:55 |
| bob2021 | keithzg i think there are two issues. one is to identify the packages that need reinstalling, because they came from a repo that's no longer around so it needs to use an older version. the other is to reinstall all of them simultaneously | 03:56 |
| bob2021 | someone wrote a ppa-purge package... | 03:59 |
| keithzg | bob2021: Even just simply passing every package name to "apt install" should get the simultaneously part done, at least. | 03:59 |
| keithzg | ppa-purge might be the simplest solution if your issue is packages you got from a PPA though, yeah | 04:01 |
| bob2021 | keithzg: it didn't get everything. i downgraded that one package manually just now, but i feel like there must still be stuff there | 04:03 |
| bob2021 | let me try it though... | 04:03 |
| bob2021 | back in 5... | 04:03 |
| bob2021 | hey guys - thanks for all your help -- that did resolve the crash | 04:13 |
| bob2021 | i have a suspicion its also going to resolve my other issues. lets find out... | 04:13 |
| keithzg | bob2021: That's great news :) | 04:20 |
| bob2021 | well except it didn't fix kmail :p | 04:20 |
| bob2021 | it may have fixed Online Accounts, but now i don't have the options for facebook, linkedin, etc. at all anymore? | 04:20 |
| bob2021 | am i wrong in thinking that packages described as "GNOME control center account plugins" WILL work with kubuntu | 04:30 |

| genii | There always has been | 15:41 |
| Finetundar | huh, never knew that | 15:42 |
| genii | If you run graphical apps with regular sudo it can result in problems by changing permissions on files that app uses to root user | 15:42 |

| BluesKaj | the old rule, never open a gui app with sudo | 15:51 |

| yammagamma | that command just made my 2 desktops swap around, ie everything on right monitor jumped over to left and vise versa | 15:53 |
| MichaelTunnell | BluesKaj: well file managers probably shouldnt be launched with sudo regardless I suppose since they could do weird mounting side effects | 15:54 |
| MichaelTunnell | yammagamma: that command would not do that. It sounds like your issue is much larger than just authorization issues | 15:54 |
| MichaelTunnell | how long have you been running this current install of kubuntu? | 15:55 |

| ubottu | yammagamma: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:30 |

| denza242 | is it possible to take the hard drive from one laptop, and put it into another laptop (same model, same specs, same everything) without messing up my install? | 18:45 |
| denza242 | esp. if there's a windows partition? | 18:45 |
| shallwe | denza242: i think its ok | 18:46 |
| denza242 | hmm, shallwe you sure? | 18:46 |
| OerHeks | same hardware, sure. | 18:46 |
| shallwe | well its work with my computer | 18:46 |
| BluesKaj | denza242, it should work | 18:50 |
| denza242 | BluesKaj: even if there's a windows partition :x? | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | denza242, there might be a product key problem with windows unless the machine is later than W8 when they began storing it in thrhr UEFI/BIOS , otherwise I can't see a problem, but I'm no Windows guru either :_) | 19:06 |
| denza242 | BluesKaj: fair enough | 19:06 |
| BluesKaj | or was it W7 , not sure | 19:06 |
| denza242 | on an unrelated note | 19:11 |
| denza242 | is there any way to make a device output to /dev/null? | 19:11 |
| === jubo2 is now known as Dr_Suomi | ||
| BluesKaj | denza242, this might help, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/119648/redirecting-to-dev-null | 19:14 |
| denza242 | BluesKaj: can I delete /dev/input/mouse2? | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | denza242, dunno , genii might know | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 19:18 |
| denza242 | kk | 19:18 |
| denza242 | well genii :x? | 19:20 |
| genii | denza242: Could you pastebin the entire dmesg output for me to look through? | 19:20 |
| genii | denza242: eg: dmesg | pastebinit | 19:24 |
| denza242 | https://paste.kde.org/pqzcwpunl/ldfxqo | 19:24 |
| genii | Then give the link | 19:24 |
| genii | Reading :) | 19:24 |
| genii | denza242: What happened before when you just blacklisted the synapics driver in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? | 19:28 |
| denza242 | genii: I didn't blacklist it | 19:28 |
| denza242 | since when I tried, it still happened | 19:28 |
| genii | denza242: Please pastebin results of sudo lshw | 19:31 |
| genii | ( I'd give the -C something to isolate to the mouse but not sure what category it falls into) | 19:31 |
| genii | This way we can see what pointing device is using what drivers | 19:32 |
| denza242 | genii: psmouse | 19:47 |
| denza242 | genii: however as I said, even if I remove psmouse, it still spams stuff | 19:49 |
| === ofer is now known as thevoyeurofme | ||
| genii | Likely then the raw hardware errors | 19:53 |
| denza242 | yep | 19:53 |
| genii | denza242: An interesting problem, let me think a bit more on it | 19:57 |
| denza242 | genii: I might have a fix though | 19:57 |
| denza242 | replacement laptop | 19:57 |
| genii | Hehe | 19:57 |

| AciD` | installed the kubuntu ppa for 15.03 yesterday. Updated with no problem. The 'search' feature in dolphin still does not work (ie. timeline://yesterday). | 20:41 |
| AciD` | I'm really unlucky or is that supposed to work (iirc I never saw it working) out of the box? | 20:42 |
| OerHeks | 15.04 went EOL today, 4th feb | 20:42 |
| OerHeks | !vivid | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/vivid | 20:42 |
| AciD` | *15.08 | 20:44 |
| OerHeks | 15.08? no such version, i guess you have 15.10 | 20:46 |

| Kadesy | Hello all... I'm looking for some assistance with getting Kubuntu booting on my new setup. I have installed Kubuntu from Live CD (15.10) to a Samsung EVO 850 512MB SSD. All installed well, but when I restart and change boot order to SSD it gets to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner. | 23:25 |
| Kadesy | I have read various solutions but not found a consistent common thread. Any ideas to why this is occuring and why I can't boot? | 23:25 |
