estanhm. anyone have problems with firefox leaking memory when left alone? every day when i get to work, if i left firefox running the day before, i'm greeted by "[845867.810128] Out of memory: Kill process 13536 (firefox) score 209 or sacrifice child" in my dmesg.08:16
estanit never leaks (at least not up to the point of beeing OOM-killed) when i use it during the day.08:16
Smurphyestan: I even got that problem on my android device.08:17
SmurphyBut the sacrifice is a nice thing... :}08:17
estanit's firefox 44.0.2, and the only plugins i have installed are flash, java and some OpenH264 plugin from Oracle for WebRTC.08:17
estanSmurphy: heh, yea. it's not that i'm particularly bothered by it since it doesn't do it when i use it regularly.08:18
estansometimes i close it down when i go home.08:18
estanbut i realize now that functionality is built-in :)08:18
hateballI thought it was common knowledge that's how Firefox (or any browser really) works :p08:22
estanheh yea, i guess. though on my home laptop, it's at least not OOM-killed. it's just huge most of the time.08:25
estanfunny thing is i switched from chromium some year ago as i was tired of its memory consuption.08:25
hateballFirefox just feels sluggish in general to me, so I run Chromium08:26
estanyea. i might switch back, for some variation in pain, heh.08:28

RockyfelleCan I put an updated version of kubuntu on a usb whilst using it for kubuntu live_15:47
BluesKajRockyfelle, what do you mean ?15:55
RockyfelleBluesKaj: I am running kubuntu live from my usb, but I need to put a new kubuntu.iso on that usb, Im wondering if that is possible15:57
BluesKajnot on a usb that' in use and mounted15:58
BluesKajRockyfelle,^15:58
RockyfelleShouldnt there be a way to load kubuntu live entirely into ram15:58
RockyfelleSo it would allow for this15:58
RockyfelleI mean the .iso is just 1gb15:59
BluesKajIsuppose you could chroot, but I've never tried it15:59
RockyfelleFair enough, something I\ve learned from kubuntu is not to install it on a usb16:03
RockyfelleSeems to never load16:03
BluesKajwhat did you use to install the image/iso?16:04
RockyfelleOn the live on im running now? netbootin something16:05
BluesKajif you used unetbootin then that's probly the issue , since it fails most of the time, startup disk creator or dd are your best options IME16:06
RockyfelleNo the live one runs fine, I'm talking about my other usb where I actually litereally installed kubuntu16:08
RockyfelleWhich was installed, uh, from a CD I think16:09
BluesKajRockyfelle, make sure you have USB setup as first in the boot sequence in the UEFI/BIOS16:11
RockyfelleI dont think ive ever done that, unless you mean just select to boot it by pressing f8 or similar during bios bootup16:13
Rockyfellespeaking of booting up, my third installation of kubuntu which is on my hdd, wont even load infinitely, it just shows some undescores blinking then goes back to bios16:13
BluesKajnope, you have to set up the USB as first in the boot sequence in the BIOS itself16:14
RockyfelleWhy would I have to do that, ive never done that before when booting up another device16:14
RockyfelleBut selecting it by pressing f8 or similar during bios bootup should achieve the same thing as youre saying16:15
BluesKajnever heard of that16:16
BluesKajF8 must ae particular to your computer/laptop brand, that's totally new to me16:21
BluesKajRockyfelle, why don't you just download a new image , burn it to a cd and install the new kubuntu to a partitionon your HDD16:28
RockyfelleCause Ive already done that, and I dont want to reinstall everything16:28
RockyfelleIm currently trying boot repair16:29
BluesKajwhich kubuntu is installed then ?16:32
RockyfelleWhat do you mean_16:33
BluesKajwhich version?16:33
RockyfelleIm not sure, fairly recent16:33
RockyfelleNot LTS16:33
RockyfelleHopefully ill just figure out boot repair and get it running16:34
BluesKajrun lsb_release -a16:34
RockyfelleWhat will that dp?16:35
BluesKajit will show the release number16:35
RockyfelleNo LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Release:        14.04 Codename:       trusty16:36
RockyfelleSeems to show the live kubuntu16:36
RockyfelleThat im currently using16:36
RockyfelleIm kind of afraid of messing around with boot repair since I dont know enough to not mess up16:38
BluesKajwell, 16.04 LTS will be released in April, you can upgrade directly then from 14.04LTS , that's my recommendation16:38
BluesKajall boot rpair can help you with is reinstall the grub bootloader on your HDD not the usb stick16:39
RockyfelleI dont actually want to use LTS, I need to get the normal version before tomorrow into the usb so I can install it to another computer, to do this I want to use kubuntu thats installed on my HDD, but that one wont boot16:40
BluesKajwhich normal version are yoy talking about ?16:42
BluesKajyou16:42
RockyfelleThe one that isnt LTS16:43
RockyfelleWhich would be 15.1016:43
BluesKajhave you done any research about kubuntu at all ?16:43
RockyfelleWhy do you wonder that_16:44
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest79682
BluesKajbecause you have no idea about the releases , look here http://ftp.belnet.be/kubuntu.org/daily-live/pending/16:46
RockyfelleIt seems I know them perfectly well?16:47
RockyfelleI have no idea what you dont think I know about, the newest release on the download page is 15.1016:48
BluesKajok then download it and install it16:49
RockyfelleI would, if I could boot into my HDD kubuntu16:49
BluesKajwhat happens when you try to boot into it ? any deatils about errors etc/16:50
RockyfelleIt shows blinking undescores then goes back into bios16:50
BluesKajbios ?16:50
Rockyfelleyes, the bios menu16:51
Rockyfellefrom where I selected to boot said HDD16:51
BluesKajare there any other hdds on the computer?16:52
RockyfelleYes, 3 including that one, one runs windows16:53
BluesKajRockyfelle, did you install windows recently, after instlling linux?16:56
RockyfelleNo, its been there for years16:56
RockyfelleLinux install was fairly recently on my 3rd drive16:57
BluesKajand you kubuntu drive doesn't boot at all and if boot repair can't fix grub then perhaps the drive or parttions are corrupted17:01
Rockyfelleit may work, I could be using it incorrectly, heres what it tells me17:02
RockyfelleGPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again. Alternatively, you can retry after activating the [Separate /boot/efi partition:] option.17:02
BluesKaj!UEFI17:03
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI17:03
BluesKajRockyfelle,^17:03
RockyfelleI dont want it to boot from the same disc as windows, but from its own disc, I can boot usbs etc fine, just not that specific kubuntu disc17:04
Rockyfelledisc|drive17:05
BluesKajyes that's because your uefi boot partition doesn't have grub installed on it for that kubuntu OS17:06
SmurphyMylon: Are webm. a possible background ?17:07
BluesKajRockyfelle, in the uefi /bios set the kubuntu disk to boot in legacy mode and disable quick start and secure boot17:09
RockyfelleIve already disabled those, I doubt kubuntu can even start now cause I removed the boot partition17:09
BluesKajwell then someone else has to help you since I'm no expert on setting up uefi boot ...I use legacy mode and dos partition table , not gpt17:13

SteffstoffHi, does it work *wothout risk* to update KDE on kubuntu 14.04.4 LTS?19:17
marco-parilloShort answer: No, there is risk.19:32
marco-parilloNow the amount of risk depends on what the upgrade path is.19:32
marco-parilloBut, all advice should start with backing up your data (I do not bother backing up applications or configurations, but some do)/19:33
SteffstoffOkay thank marco-parillo. Which upgrade path would you suggest?19:35
marco-parilloIf you are already on 14.04, I would keep updating / upgrading. You will be automatically notified when 16.04.1 is released.19:37
SteffstoffThis is the next TLS?19:41
SteffstoffIs there any estimate date?19:41
BluesKajSteffstoff, April 21st19:42
geniiSteffstoff: 16.04 will arrive April 21, but it will be a while before first point release of 16.04.1 ..likely June-July. At that point you can go 14.04.X -> 16.04.119:43
BluesKajhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule19:43
SteffstoffThat's sounds really nice. And I can do this upgrade without any risk?19:43
genii( LTS to LTS becomes an available option when first point release arrives)19:43
BluesKajright , forgot about that19:44
zerodayhi19:44
zerodaywhere is here ?19:44

BluesKajthere are always risks when upgrading from one version to another , but bear in mand what genii just posted about the first point release of 16.04.1 , Steffstoff19:47
SteffstoffOkay so I should wait until June-July to upgrade 16.04.1. I undersand. Thank huys!19:48

SteffstoffIt's me again. Due to my KOrganizer problem I'd like to reinstall the whole KDE "suite" how can I do this? I'd use: sudo apt-get install --reinstall <paketname>22:08
SteffstoffBut which paket I have to reinstall?22:08
bpromptSteffstoff:   ahmm korganizer maybe?22:10
Steffstoffthat isn't enough, because it doesn't fix my problem.22:11
bpromptSteffstoff:   hmm dunno koffice then I gather22:11
bpromptSteffstoff:    what was the original issue with korganizer anyway?22:12
Steffstoffbprompt: https://askubuntu.com/questions/740919/korganizer-caldav-calendar-disappeared22:13
SteffstoffI hope with a complete reinstall ob the suite I can fix this.22:13
bpromptSteffstoff:   are you backed up?  can you afford a PIM apps data redoing?22:16
SteffstoffBy now no backups22:17
bprompthmmm22:17
Steffstoffwait backup from what? The Kmail und Korganizer stuff?22:17
Steffstoffor from the home folder?22:18
bpromptSteffstoff:   yes, kmail and such22:18
bpromptthat's not  hmm a great idea, but you should periodically anyway22:18
Steffstoffkmail is no problem, cause it's imap. I'll get the mails again from the server.22:18
bpromptSteffstoff:     was going to recommend, to hose the Akonadi database, or the akonadi settings, since PIM apps  like knode/kmail/korganizer and such, use the akonadi database server to do a lot of their storing and such, and at times in my case, when something happens to it, then the PIM apps start going awry22:19
bpromptit looks like is the PIM app, but is really the akonadi database, not always, but often enough22:20
Steffstoffokay I guesst as well a akonadi issue. That's the reason why I'd like to reinstall the whole package22:20
bpromptSteffstoff:   why not just delete their "rc" file and let it recreate it maybe?   maybe it's just a configuration issue22:21
SteffstoffWhat do you think is the best way?22:21
SteffstoffI deleted all in .config22:21
bpromptSteffstoff:    I think installing the whole package may be the last resort to try22:21
Steffstoffdoesn't work :/22:21
bpromptSteffstoff:   well, sudo apt-get install [package] <- will do then22:23
Steffstoffbut what is the package name?22:24
bpromptSteffstoff:    each have their own from what I can tell, korganizer is a package itself22:24
SteffstoffOkay korganizer I reinstall almost 5 times.... doesn't fix the issue.22:26
SteffstoffCan I reinstall the akonadi server?22:26
SteffstoffOr another componete which could cause that issue?22:27
bpromptyes22:34
bpromptSteffstoff:     akonadi-server and akonadi-backend-mysql22:35
murthyI have installed intel graphics drivers from intel's 01.org website using their installer sometime back, now after a recent update 3 or 4 days back seem to have a bug, sometimes the screen turns to sold blue color, even not able to use the tty sysreq works. Now I just want to remove the intel driver, how can I do that?22:35
Steffstoffbprompt: What do you say? Schould I reinstall both?22:36
bpromptSteffstoff:    sure, keeping in mind, that we don't really know what may be happening to CalDav, it may just be an updated library version of some other kde package22:39
Steffstoffreinstall done | issue still there... -.-22:41
