[02:19] <AciD`> what can you do when the energy saver turned off your screen, then when you come back and move the mouse/input keys on the keyboard, the screen stays in standby mode?
[02:46] <keithzg> AciD`: Tapping the power button doesn't wake it either?
[06:52] <AciD`> keithzg > I just tried, it turned it off :(
[06:52] <AciD`> I was on tty 1 though
[06:53] <AciD`> very, very annoying to be obliged to reboot each time I want to get away for a few minutes from that computer :/
[08:16] <estan> hm. 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] <estan> it never leaks (at least not up to the point of beeing OOM-killed) when i use it during the day.
[08:17] <Smurphy> estan: I even got that problem on my android device.
[08:17] <Smurphy> But the sacrifice is a nice thing... :}
[08:17] <estan> it's firefox 44.0.2, and the only plugins i have installed are flash, java and some OpenH264 plugin from Oracle for WebRTC.
[08:18] <estan> Smurphy: 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] <estan> sometimes i close it down when i go home.
[08:18] <estan> but i realize now that functionality is built-in :)
[08:22] <hateball> I thought it was common knowledge that's how Firefox (or any browser really) works :p
[08:25] <estan> heh 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] <estan> funny thing is i switched from chromium some year ago as i was tired of its memory consuption.
[08:26] <hateball> Firefox just feels sluggish in general to me, so I run Chromium
[08:28] <estan> yea. i might switch back, for some variation in pain, heh.
[08:57] <lordievader> Good morning.

[15:17] <genii> Testing
[15:47] <Rockyfelle> Can I put an updated version of kubuntu on a usb whilst using it for kubuntu live_
[15:55] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle, what do you mean ?
[15:57] <Rockyfelle> BluesKaj: 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 possible
[15:58] <BluesKaj> not on a usb that' in use and mounted
[15:58] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle,^
[15:58] <Rockyfelle> Shouldnt there be a way to load kubuntu live entirely into ram
[15:58] <Rockyfelle> So it would allow for this
[15:59] <Rockyfelle> I mean the .iso is just 1gb
[15:59] <BluesKaj> Isuppose you could chroot, but I've never tried it
[16:03] <Rockyfelle> Fair enough, something I\ve learned from kubuntu is not to install it on a usb
[16:03] <Rockyfelle> Seems to never load
[16:04] <BluesKaj> what did you use to install the image/iso?
[16:05] <Rockyfelle> On the live on im running now? netbootin something
[16:06] <BluesKaj> if 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 IME
[16:08] <Rockyfelle> No the live one runs fine, I'm talking about my other usb where I actually litereally installed kubuntu
[16:09] <Rockyfelle> Which was installed, uh, from a CD I think
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle, make sure you have USB setup as first in the boot sequence in the UEFI/BIOS
[16:13] <Rockyfelle> I dont think ive ever done that, unless you mean just select to boot it by pressing f8 or similar during bios bootup
[16:13] <Rockyfelle> speaking 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 bios
[16:14] <BluesKaj> nope, you have to set up the USB as first in the boot sequence in the BIOS itself
[16:14] <Rockyfelle> Why would I have to do that, ive never done that before when booting up another device
[16:15] <Rockyfelle> But selecting it by pressing f8 or similar during bios bootup should achieve the same thing as youre saying
[16:16] <BluesKaj> never heard of that
[16:21] <BluesKaj> F8 must ae particular to your computer/laptop brand, that's totally new to me
[16:28] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle, why don't you just download a new image , burn it to a cd and install the new kubuntu to a partitionon your HDD
[16:28] <Rockyfelle> Cause Ive already done that, and I dont want to reinstall everything
[16:29] <Rockyfelle> Im currently trying boot repair
[16:32] <BluesKaj> which kubuntu is installed then ?
[16:33] <Rockyfelle> What do you mean_
[16:33] <BluesKaj> which version?
[16:33] <Rockyfelle> Im not sure, fairly recent
[16:33] <Rockyfelle> Not LTS
[16:34] <Rockyfelle> Hopefully ill just figure out boot repair and get it running
[16:34] <BluesKaj> run lsb_release -a
[16:35] <Rockyfelle> What will that dp?
[16:35] <BluesKaj> it will show the release number
[16:36] <Rockyfelle> No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Release:        14.04 Codename:       trusty
[16:36] <Rockyfelle> Seems to show the live kubuntu
[16:36] <Rockyfelle> That im currently using
[16:38] <Rockyfelle> Im kind of afraid of messing around with boot repair since I dont know enough to not mess up
[16:38] <BluesKaj> well, 16.04 LTS will be released in April, you can upgrade directly then from 14.04LTS , that's my recommendation
[16:39] <BluesKaj> all boot rpair can help you with is reinstall the grub bootloader on your HDD not the usb stick
[16:40] <Rockyfelle> I 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 boot
[16:42] <BluesKaj> which normal version are yoy talking about ?
[16:42] <BluesKaj> you
[16:43] <Rockyfelle> The one that isnt LTS
[16:43] <Rockyfelle> Which would be 15.10
[16:43] <BluesKaj> have you done any research about kubuntu at all ?
[16:44] <Rockyfelle> Why do you wonder that_
[16:46] <BluesKaj> because you have no idea about the releases , look here http://ftp.belnet.be/kubuntu.org/daily-live/pending/
[16:47] <Rockyfelle> It seems I know them perfectly well?
[16:48] <Rockyfelle> I have no idea what you dont think I know about, the newest release on the download page is 15.10
[16:49] <BluesKaj> ok then download it and install it
[16:49] <Rockyfelle> I would, if I could boot into my HDD kubuntu
[16:50] <BluesKaj> what happens when you try to boot into it ? any deatils about errors etc/
[16:50] <Rockyfelle> It shows blinking undescores then goes back into bios
[16:50] <BluesKaj> bios ?
[16:51] <Rockyfelle> yes, the bios menu
[16:51] <Rockyfelle> from where I selected to boot said HDD
[16:52] <BluesKaj> are there any other hdds on the computer?
[16:53] <Rockyfelle> Yes, 3 including that one, one runs windows
[16:56] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle, did you install windows recently, after instlling linux?
[16:56] <Rockyfelle> No, its been there for years
[16:57] <Rockyfelle> Linux install was fairly recently on my 3rd drive
[17:01] <BluesKaj> and you kubuntu drive doesn't boot at all and if boot repair can't fix grub then perhaps the drive or parttions are corrupted
[17:02] <Rockyfelle> it may work, I could be using it incorrectly, heres what it tells me
[17:02] <Rockyfelle> GPT 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.
[17:03] <BluesKaj> !UEFI
[17:03] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle,^
[17:04] <Rockyfelle> I 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 disc
[17:05] <Rockyfelle> disc|drive
[17:06] <BluesKaj> yes that's because your uefi boot partition doesn't have grub installed on it for that kubuntu OS
[17:07] <Smurphy> Mylon: Are webm. a possible background ?
[17:09] <BluesKaj> Rockyfelle, in the uefi /bios set the kubuntu disk to boot in legacy mode and disable quick start and secure boot
[17:09] <Rockyfelle> Ive already disabled those, I doubt kubuntu can even start now cause I removed the boot partition
[17:13] <BluesKaj> well 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 gpt
[17:18] <Rockyfelle_> Secure boot is disabled by the bios is complaining about it being enabled....
[17:18] <Rockyfelle_> But*
[18:49] <valentina> ciao
[18:50] <genii> Hm
[19:17] <Steffstoff> Hi, does it work *wothout risk* to update KDE on kubuntu 14.04.4 LTS?
[19:32] <marco-parillo> Short answer: No, there is risk.
[19:32] <marco-parillo> Now the amount of risk depends on what the upgrade path is.
[19:33] <marco-parillo> But, all advice should start with backing up your data (I do not bother backing up applications or configurations, but some do)/
[19:35] <Steffstoff> Okay thank marco-parillo. Which upgrade path would you suggest?
[19:37] <marco-parillo> If you are already on 14.04, I would keep updating / upgrading. You will be automatically notified when 16.04.1 is released.
[19:41] <Steffstoff> This is the next TLS?
[19:41] <Steffstoff> Is there any estimate date?
[19:42] <BluesKaj> Steffstoff, April 21st
[19:43] <genii> Steffstoff: 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 -> 16.04.1
[19:43] <BluesKaj> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule
[19:43] <Steffstoff> That'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)
[19:44] <BluesKaj> right , forgot about that
[19:44] <zeroday> hi
[19:44] <zeroday> where is here ?
[19:44] <zeroday> i am first using here :)
[19:45] <Steffstoff> @ BluesKaj right to upgrade without any risk?
[19:47] <BluesKaj> there 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 , Steffstoff
[19:48] <Steffstoff> Okay so I should wait until June-July to upgrade 16.04.1. I undersand. Thank huys!
[19:48] <zeroday> where is here ?
[19:48] <genii> zeroday: You are in the Kubuntu support channel on the Freenode network
[19:49] <zeroday> ok .. what is mean ?
[19:49] <genii> zeroday: If you have questions about Kubuntu, this is the place to ask :)
[19:49] <zeroday> nice :)
[19:49] <zeroday> tnx :)
[19:49] <BluesKaj> xe how did you get herel if you don't know where you are
[19:50] <BluesKaj> zeroday,^
[19:50] <zeroday> @Blueskaj
[19:50] <zeroday> i am starter
[19:50] <zeroday> and a play with my apps in my kubunto
[19:50] <zeroday> and see thish :)
[19:50] <BluesKaj> no @ needed on irc, nicks works
[19:50] <zeroday> i think like telegram :)
[19:51] <genii> zeroday: You are using a program which is an Internet Relay Chat client (IRC)
[19:51] <zeroday> what is the bset c++ compiler in liunux ?
[19:51] <Steffstoff> Is a KOrganize crack here under us?
[19:51] <zeroday> IRC ?  what is it ?
[19:52] <BluesKaj> !irc
[19:53] <zeroday> ok tnx :)
[19:53] <genii> zeroday: IRC=Internet Relay chat ... a network like Freenode or Quakenet has IRC "channels" you join, like large chats of people talking the same subject. Right now you are in the channel #kubuntu
[19:54] <genii> Steffstoff: I'm not quite sure what your question is
[19:54] <Steffstoff> My CalDav calendar dissapears. Perhabs someone as a idea?!
[19:54] <Steffstoff> https://askubuntu.com/questions/740919/korganizer-davcal-calendar-disappeared
[19:55] <denza242> zeroday: I do not know about what is the "best" C++ compiler in linux, but GCC++ and Clang++ work well for me
[19:55] <zeroday> tnx genii for IRC
[19:55] <zeroday> best a thing like visual studio
[19:56] <zeroday> :))))))))))))))))))))
[19:56] <genii> zeroday: You may want to look at the program called Eclipse
[19:56] <genii> !eclipse
[19:56] <genii> !info eclipse
[19:57] <genii> Steffstoff: Ah, right, I remember this question from another day. Hopefully soon there will be someone who knows about it.
[19:59] <denza242> ah he left :<
[20:00] <BluesKaj> he's never heard of irc ...
[20:00] <BluesKaj> I must be getting old
[20:01]  * genii makes a note to leave a bag of flaming poo on BluesKaj's porch
[20:01] <genii> ;)
[20:03]  * BluesKaj avoids stomping on flaming bags
[20:03]  * BluesKaj takes genii's fire maker devices away
[20:04] <genii> Aw :(
[20:04] <BluesKaj> lucky i don't have a porch  ;-)
[20:05] <genii> Where do you sit with cold beers in the summertime?
[20:08] <BluesKaj> on my backyard patio, in the shade :-)
[20:08] <genii> Ah, nice
[21:40] <genii> Steffstoff: Your connection is bouncing on and off, might want to look at that
[22:08] <Steffstoff> It'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] <Steffstoff> But which paket I have to reinstall?
[22:10] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   ahmm korganizer maybe?
[22:11] <Steffstoff> that isn't enough, because it doesn't fix my problem.
[22:11] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   hmm dunno koffice then I gather
[22:12] <bprompt> Steffstoff:    what was the original issue with korganizer anyway?
[22:13] <Steffstoff> bprompt: https://askubuntu.com/questions/740919/korganizer-caldav-calendar-disappeared
[22:13] <Steffstoff> I hope with a complete reinstall ob the suite I can fix this.
[22:16] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   are you backed up?  can you afford a PIM apps data redoing?
[22:17] <Steffstoff> By now no backups
[22:17] <bprompt> hmmm
[22:17] <Steffstoff> wait backup from what? The Kmail und Korganizer stuff?
[22:18] <Steffstoff> or from the home folder?
[22:18] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   yes, kmail and such
[22:18] <bprompt> that's not  hmm a great idea, but you should periodically anyway
[22:18] <Steffstoff> kmail is no problem, cause it's imap. I'll get the mails again from the server.
[22:19] <bprompt> Steffstoff:     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 awry
[22:20] <bprompt> it looks like is the PIM app, but is really the akonadi database, not always, but often enough
[22:20] <Steffstoff> okay I guesst as well a akonadi issue. That's the reason why I'd like to reinstall the whole package
[22:21] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   why not just delete their "rc" file and let it recreate it maybe?   maybe it's just a configuration issue
[22:21] <Steffstoff> What do you think is the best way?
[22:21] <Steffstoff> I deleted all in .config
[22:21] <bprompt> Steffstoff:    I think installing the whole package may be the last resort to try
[22:21] <Steffstoff> doesn't work :/
[22:23] <bprompt> Steffstoff:   well, sudo apt-get install [package] <- will do then
[22:24] <Steffstoff> but what is the package name?
[22:24] <bprompt> Steffstoff:    each have their own from what I can tell, korganizer is a package itself
[22:26] <Steffstoff> Okay korganizer I reinstall almost 5 times.... doesn't fix the issue.
[22:26] <Steffstoff> Can I reinstall the akonadi server?
[22:27] <Steffstoff> Or another componete which could cause that issue?
[22:34] <bprompt> yes
[22:35] <bprompt> Steffstoff:     akonadi-server and akonadi-backend-mysql
[22:35] <murthy> I 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?
[22:36] <Steffstoff> bprompt: What do you say? Schould I reinstall both?
[22:39] <bprompt> Steffstoff:    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 package
[22:41] <Steffstoff> reinstall done | issue still there... -.-
[22:42] <Steffstoff> bprompt: reinstall done | issue still there... -.-
