[00:00] <user|51619> latest kubuntu
[00:08] <mparillo> I have run kubuntu on a 1GB Netbook, but most people would say I was a glutton for punishment.
[01:26] <teledyn> viewer|90721: maybe an issue with kscreen?
[02:46] <kkerwin> Hi. I'm having difficulty connecting my BCM43124 to WiFi  (broadcom). I have rebuilt bcmwl-kernel-source with no luck. I have already followed ubottu's instructions at ! Broadcom
[02:46] <kkerwin> Is anyone able to help?
[06:39] <amichair> there seems to be a serious memory leak since the upgrade to 16.10
[06:40] <amichair> the total RES is less than 2G, yet it shows 14G used + 3G swap (which was never used before), 36M buffers, 450M cache
[06:40] <amichair> is this a known issue?
[06:40] <amichair> any way to diagnose it?
[07:02] <hateball> amichair: what process uses such memory?
[07:10] <amichair> hateball: the total RES of all processes looks like around 2-3G
[07:10] <amichair> hateball: does that mean it's a kernel leak? that doesn't appear anywhere?
[07:11] <amichair> hateball: the system is hardly usable, thrashing all the time, will have to restart soon - is there anything i can check before that?
[07:12] <hateball> amichair: what are you using to check? top?
[07:12] <amichair> hateball: htop
[07:12] <amichair> free -h agrees about the totals
[07:15] <amichair> using 4.8.0-26-generic
[07:35] <amichair> hateball: any ideas?
[07:36] <hateball> amichair: Not really, no
[07:36] <hateball> I can only say I don't experience the same thing
[07:39] <amichair> hateball: ok, thanks. I'll have to restart every couple of days then, until it's fixed :-(
[07:39] <amichair> like the good old windows 95 days
[07:39] <hateball> heh
[07:40] <hateball> amichair: and you've made sure it's not a plasmashell leak by just restarting that?
[07:40] <amichair> hateball: wouldn't that show high RES for plasma process?
[07:41] <hateball> amichair: sure
[07:42] <hateball> but if *nothing* shows high memory, it's a starting point I guess?
[07:42] <amichair> hateball: plasmashell using 108M RES
[07:42] <amichair> hateball: It doesn't show up for any process, which is why I suspect it might be within the kernel
[09:30] <aniketh_> http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-6-4-available-in-16-04-backports/
[09:30] <aniketh_> Was following this tuts
[09:30] <aniketh_> Is it possible that my system could break by using that backports ?
[09:33] <hateball> Well, anything is possible. But I would say that most of us that use 16.04 have been running backports for months without issues
[09:33] <hateball> aniketh_: a oneliner if you feel like using it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[09:37] <aniketh_> I know how to do. But wasn't sure if it would break my system or not
[09:38] <aniketh_> Anyways will give it a try
[09:38] <aniketh_> hateball: Thanks
[09:38] <hateball> I am using it as we speak ;d
[09:38] <aniketh_> hateball:  Cool :D
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[18:27] <allamoox> Ho
[18:27] <allamoox> hi
[18:28] <acheronuk> hell
[18:28] <acheronuk> hello even
[20:48] <John__> Hello, I bought a new laptop with amd gpu and i'm confused about the current state of amd drivers. Can someone explain what are all these drivers, fglrx, ati, amdgpu, amdgpu-pro? I want the best recommended driver for performance
[21:04] <chcknrub> The reason while linux can't be the desktop while android became a mobile desktop is because no money can be made out of it.

[21:28] <diego__> Hello.  I need help with my laptop.  It gets turned off when I unplug it, even though on full battery.
[21:29] <diego__> I didn't know what component to report the bug on.  Thanks.
[21:39] <valorie> diego__: that doesn't sound like a software problem
[21:44] <diego__> Oh.  Okay.
[21:45] <diego__> While I don't think the battery has run out, maybe it's not well connected or something.
[21:46] <diego__> I'll explore in that direction.  Thank you.
[21:46] <valorie> or it is a damaged connector which shorts something as it is pulled out
[21:46] <valorie> I've had to replace the battery and the connector part of the cord both, in other computers
[21:47] <diego__> It also misreads the charged level sometimes.
[21:48] <valorie> if you can successfully suspend, you might check if that same thing happens if the laptop is suspended
[21:48] <valorie> if so, it can't be the software; gotta be hardware
[21:49] <diego__> I'll try that now.  Let's see.
[21:51] <diego__> Actually it didn't turn off.  One thing that makes it difficult is that it's not consistent on when it does turn off.
[21:52] <diego__> I'll be aware about when that happens and report.  Thanks a lot.
