[01:22] <Soulboy> Hey guys how can i enable global menu's on kubuntu? the option isn't available in fine tuning
[01:56] <KoreKosmou> sss
[02:03] <[Relic]> got a slow leak there?
[04:51] <[Relic]> Is there a way of verifying the integrity of a single file filesystem.squashfs in an iso?  Two different computers with a proper md5 17.04 iso always come up with 25 errors
[05:02] <[Relic]> even with unetbootin same problem
[05:15] <valorie> [Relic]: you can use dd and get it to verify every write
[05:15] <valorie> !dd
[05:15] <valorie> fiddlesticks
[05:15] <valorie> !info dd
[05:15] <valorie> !
[05:16] <valorie> it should already be installed
[05:16] <valorie> however before reading I would do some googling so you get the command correct
[05:19] <[Relic]> tried dd, tried the start up disk creator, tried unetbootin, 3 different usb sticks and they all have 25 errors on them
[08:17] <sobersabre> hi. I ham installed kubuntu using ppa
[08:17] <sobersabre> I mean over regular ubuntu.
[08:18] <sobersabre> (version 17.04)
[08:20] <sobersabre> the problems I'm having are with the cool "search" tools - the one I am getting when pressing on "Alt"+Space and on "Win" key
[08:20] <sobersabre> I am typing and only 1st character is getting printed.
[08:21] <sobersabre> then it's slowing the freaking hell....
[08:21] <sobersabre> this is not a big deal, since I'm mainly in terminal, which (luckily) is behaving relatively ok.
[08:21] <sobersabre> is it a known issue?
[08:22] <sobersabre> is there something amiss you can think of?
[08:22] <sobersabre> ideas are welcome.
[08:22] <sobersabre> maybe it's a service it wants, maybe something else is missing.
[08:22] <sobersabre> please suggest.
[08:23] <sobersabre> the thing is - if I'm using mouse, everything works ok. the system is not sluggish. the input gets messed up.
[08:24] <sobersabre> the CPU doesn't spike, memory doesn't everest.
[08:33] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:33] <lordievader> sobersabre: Does the io wait rise?
[09:43] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[15:13] <sobersabre> lordievader: sorry, my own iowait took some time ;)
[15:13] <sobersabre> I do not have too much time to investigate, I actually am using this laptop for work...
[15:13] <sobersabre> if you can point me to something actionable that can help to fix this, I'd be greatful
[15:22] <lordievader> I'd look at the vmstat values, it could be that it is doing lots of IO, for some reason.
[15:22] <lordievader> sobersabre: ^
[15:23] <lordievader> sobersabre: Err, the iowait values in vmstat, that is.
[15:40] <sobersabre> lordievader: I understand you don't understand what I am saying. let's assume it does lots of IO. now what ?
[15:40] <sobersabre> the system has ... lots of RAM (20GB), and the hdd is an SSD (flash) drive.
[15:41] <lordievader> sobersabre: Well does it? Assumptions are nice, but don't help much.
[15:41] <lordievader> If a cpu is bound by io it won't do anything else. This could lead to a freeze.
[15:42] <sobersabre> ok
[15:42] <sobersabre> lordievader: here's an input:
[15:43] <sobersabre> when I was doing whatever I am doing (typing jljljljljljljljljljljljljljljlj)
[15:43] <sobersabre> the memory consumption dropped (insignificantly)
[15:44] <sobersabre> but the application (K menu) showed with GREAT latency: jjjlj
[15:44] <sobersabre> it means that app ... is input DEAF.
[15:44] <sobersabre> the 2nd app (Alt+Space) does something similar.
[15:44] <sobersabre> WTH is going on?
[15:45] <sobersabre> is this the meaning of artificial intelligence?
[15:45] <lordievader> Yes, my hypothesis is that the krunner is doing lots of IO in the background, which is why it can't process the input. I know this should not be the case. But something is going on.
[15:46] <genii> Probably the indexer
[15:46] <sobersabre> lordievader: is this just a regression in ppa ?
[15:46] <sobersabre> genii: are the indexers controllable? can I stop them or limit them via CLI or gui ?
[15:47] <genii> https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration
[15:47] <lordievader> sobersabre: I don't know, like I said, it is just a hypothesis. Without any real data I cannot say anything.
[15:55] <BluesKaj> sobersabre, try opening system monitor to check the processes
[15:56] <sobersabre> lordievader: is there any log file created by those pesky indexers ? (Baloo! a real bear eating up my whatever)
[15:57] <lordievader> No idea, never looked at it.
[15:57] <sobersabre> I went into GUI and disable ALL indexers, etc.
[15:57] <lordievader> I have Baloo disabled, rarely actually search for a file. And if I usually use find anyways.
[15:57] <genii> Yes, find/locate/updatedb
