| [00:35] <DaveInFL> Am I correct in thinking that there is no server version of Kubuntu like there is for Ubuntu? | |
| [00:39] <rww> yep | |
| [00:40] <DaveInFL> Ok...so let me ask a stupid question. Kubuntu runs fine as a server right? It's just a matter of how I want to partition it? | |
| [00:40] <DaveInFL> I mean, I can install the desktop version and it will run fine as a server. Just install what I need? | |
| [00:41] <rww> Yep, if you ignore the potential security issues of installing a boatload of graphical software on a server. | |
| [00:41] <DaveInFL> Ok...thanks...it's mainly for home use and it won't be exposed to the outside world :) | |
| [01:20] <odium> hi I am being asked to make a SE edition of kubuntu is there such a beast? | |
| [01:59] <Roey> hey I want to add something to crontab. What is the official way of doing it in Kubuntu? | |
| [02:00] <Roey> i.e. do we edit /etc/crontab directly, or what? | |
| [02:00] <rww> crontab -e | |
| [02:00] <Roey> ah | |
| [02:00] <rww> to edit per-user crontab. sudo crontab -u root -e to edit root's | |
| [02:01] <Roey> ok | |
| [02:01] <Roey> and must I be root to use this? | |
| [02:01] <Roey> /run with sudo I meant. | |
| [02:03] <rww> yes to edit root's, no to edit your own | |
| [02:05] <Roey> so I just want it to run my btrfs snapshotter script every hour on the 01's, say. | |
| [02:06] <Roey> and I want my backup script to run every twelve hours, say. | |
| [02:06] <Roey> rww: ^ | |
| [02:07] <rww> do either of these things require sudo access when run manually? | |
| [02:08] <Roey> hello here I have a question on crontab -e: I have a snapshotting script that I want run every hour on the 1's, and a backup script that I want to run every 4 hours. | |
| [02:08] <Roey> ah, that'sthe question, reformulated | |
| [02:08] <Roey> yeah they do. | |
| [02:09] <rww> then sudo crontab -u root -e, and put them without sudo in there | |
| [02:09] <rww> "every hour on the 1's" means what? 00:01, 01:01, etc.? | |
| [02:09] <Roey> right | |
| [02:09] <Roey> just some hourly time | |
| [02:10] <rww> 1 * * * * my-snapshot command | |
| [02:10] <Roey> that means execute every hour? | |
| [02:11] <rww> * */4 * * * my-backup-command | |
| [02:11] <rww> it means execute in the first minute of every hour, yes | |
| [02:11] <rww> second one means execute sometime every fourth hour | |
| [02:11] <Roey> I see | |
| [02:11] <Roey> wonderful! | |
| [02:12] <rww> Wikipedia's page on cron at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron is a pretty good reference for future use, btw | |
| [02:12] <Roey> and where is it customary to put the scripts | |
| [02:12] <Roey> aye, I was reading it | |
| [02:12] <Roey> thanks | |
| [02:12] <rww> not sure on that one. | |
| [02:12] <Roey> /root? /usr/site? | |
| [02:12] <Roey> /opt? | |

| === rani is now known as hhd99 | |
| [12:24] <BluesKaj> CyberTails, try going back to the default kicker then back to classic again | |
| [12:26] <CyberTails> nope, same deal | |
| [12:30] <BluesKaj> CyberTails, did you just upgrade kde | |
| [12:30] <CyberTails> I did an security update if that counts? | |
| === kubuntu is now known as Guest45837 | |
| [12:34] <BluesKaj> it's possible, depends if you have the backports enabled | |
| [12:34] <CyberTails> I'm running 12.04 if that counts | |
| [13:06] <alphacrypt> you know gmote? | |
| [13:06] <alphacrypt> could it work on kubuntu, get jave exceptions | |
| [13:07] <jarkko> i have a question about kubuntu...today i received 21 updates along them 3.13.0-18 kernel (i have newer kernel in use) this kernel is not in my grub...why it wants to install that? after upgrade it wants to remove 3.13-0-17 (which is not in use either) | |
| [13:08] <BluesKaj> alphacrypt, do you mean gmotionlive? | |
| [13:09] <alphacrypt> that remotecontrolapp | |
| [13:10] <BluesKaj> for cameras etc , alphacrypt , if so then it's gmotionlive | |
| [13:10] <alphacrypt> its called gmote | |
| [13:11] <Pici> jarkko: what kernel are you running instead and how did you get that installed? | |
| [13:11] <jarkko> Pici: 3.13.6 manually, downloaded from ubuntu ppa | |
| [13:11] <BluesKaj> alphacrypt, that's an Android app | |
| [13:11] <alphacrypt> yes | |
| [13:11] <jarkko> Pici: http://pastebin.com/BHLakxHb | |
| [13:11] <alphacrypt> but you need to run the server | |
| [13:11] <BluesKaj> not available for kubuntu afaik | |
| [13:12] <alphacrypt> maybe | |
| [13:12] <alphacrypt> you know alternatives? | |
| [13:14] <Pici> jarkko: Because you have the linux-image-generic package installed, it will want to pull in a specific kernel package. The version that you are using shouldn't disappear though, you will just get another entry on your grub menu. | |
| [13:15] <jarkko> Pici: well i quess i have deleted something, but not hole kernel then... | |
| [13:36] <akis> hi all. i am running 12.04 and for file manager i am using dolphin. since last week every time i pluged a usb stick or a sd card dolphin recognised it automatically and placed it under trash icon. suddenly this stopped and every time i am plugging the usb stick i have to choose 'show all entries' in left panel to see usb stick and use it. any idea about a solution on this this issue? | |
| [13:38] <BluesKaj> akis, right click in the panel, unlock the panel | |
| [13:38] <BluesKaj> in dolphin | |
| [13:41] <akis> ok. i did it and i plugged usb stick but it wasnt auto recognized. | |
| [13:46] <akis> BluesKaj: i did it and i plugged usb stick but it wasnt auto recognized. | |
| === bumblebee is now known as Guest36017 | |
| [13:48] <akis> BluesKaj: i fixed it. | |
| [13:49] <akis> BluesKaj: i choosed "show all entries" and then i choosed "hide" every entry i dont want to be shown except usb stick and now works! | |

| [17:44] <cornfeedhobo> hello... so much keeps changing an i have been searching.. is there a unified way to manage services in 13.10?? | |
| [17:44] <cornfeedhobo> or do i just have to wait for systemd | |
| [17:45] <lordievader> cornfeedhobo: There still is upstart, those scripts are in /etc/init. The old style are supported by upstart too and are located in /etc/init.d/ | |
| [17:48] <cornfeedhobo> i installed opeenssh-server and i have no clue how to disable it as an automatically starting service | |
| [17:48] <cornfeedhobo> i never really got used to upstart.. kind of a sysinitV guy | |
| [17:48] <lordievader> cornfeedhobo: Comment the "start on" clause in /etc/init/ssh.conf | |
| [17:49] <cornfeedhobo> oh thanks | |
| [17:50] <cornfeedhobo> lol | |
| [17:51] <cornfeedhobo> i never knew there was a /etc/init dir | |
| [17:51] <cornfeedhobo> sysinitV used conf.d :( | |
| [17:51] <cornfeedhobo> thanks again! | |
| [17:51] <Unit193> upstart uses /etc/init/, and can use the init.d scripts too. | |

| [18:17] <__Roey> Hello. How do I fix this error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9626044 | |
| [18:17] <__Roey> i.e. set my MTA agent | |
| [18:19] <lordievader> __Roey: This might solve your problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/222512/cron-info-no-mta-installed-discarding-output-error-in-the-syslog | |
| [18:41] <__Roey> lordievader: thank you! | |
| === calin is now known as crucerucalin | |
| [18:41] <lordievader> __Roey: No problem, happy upstarting (for as long as it will last) | |
| [18:44] <__Roey> lordievader: so just installing postfix will fix that error? I tried before with installing exim4 but the error persisted. | |
| [18:45] <lordievader> Ohh I'm mixing up thing, sorry about upstart.. | |
| [18:46] <lordievader> __Roey: Yes, following the explanation on the page, cron misses an Mail Transfer Agent and therefore discards the message. | |
| [18:48] <__Roey> okay | |
| [18:48] <__Roey> but this was also the situation when I with installinx exim this morning | |
| [18:48] <__Roey> but okay. | |
| [18:49] <__Roey> lordievader: do you mess ariound with btrfs send/receive much? | |
| [18:49] <lordievader> __Roey: Nope, I use lvm+ext4 | |

| [19:17] <lordievader> Hehe ;) | |
| [19:18] <dougl> nothing to learn here today, all seems pretty quiet | |
| [19:18] <dougl> you doing well? | |
| [19:20] <lordievader> Jup, doing good here :) Pretty quiet today, indeed. | |
| [19:35] <ozbrk> hi guys | |
| [19:35] <ozbrk> I need help a bit | |
| [19:35] <ozbrk> there are multiple problems in here | |
| [19:35] <ozbrk> first of all is a common issue called screen tearing I have a ati radeon hd 5800 | |
| [19:36] <ozbrk> I can't install any drivers drivers breakes the opengş | |
| [19:36] <ozbrk> opengl* | |
| [19:42] <dougl> ozbrk, how attached are you to the ati? | |
| [19:42] <ozbrk> what ? | |
| [19:43] <dougl> do you love ati more than nvidia? | |
| [19:43] <ozbrk> that's the only graphich card that I have why ? | |
| [19:44] <dougl> I am not an ati fan because they have never behaved well with linux... that is why I asked - I would like to see you get an nvidia card and there are two driver avenues you could use there... | |
| [19:45] <dougl> but tearing has always been an issue for me | |
| [19:45] <lordievader> ozbrk: What driver are you currently running? | |
| [19:45] <ozbrk> open | |
| [19:45] <lordievader> ozbrk: The 'radeon' one? | |
| [19:45] <ozbrk> I don't know accutally | |
| [19:46] * dougl is glad to see lordievader is still here. | |
| [19:46] <ozbrk> I reinstalled all xcof | |
| [19:46] <BluesKaj> dougl, ati linux drivers were great up until 4-5 yrs ago then after amd boiught the company linux support has suffered | |
| [19:46] <lordievader> ozbrk: Could you pastebin "lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA" | |
| [19:46] <ozbrk> ooook hang on a sec. | |
| [19:46] <lordievader> !info fglrx | |
| [19:46] <ubottu> fglrx (source: fglrx-installer): Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators. In component restricted, is extra. Version 2:13.101-0ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 48023 kB, installed size 140013 kB (Only available for amd64; i386) | |
| [19:47] <ozbrk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7115981/ | |
| [19:47] <dougl> BluesKaj, how are you - good trivia amd, lets just not go there I am intel now | |
| [19:47] <ozbrk> it says it is radeon driver | |
| [19:47] <ozbrk> dougl: you are a funny guy aren't you :) | |
| [19:47] <rww> yes hello, ATI user here. radeon works fine for me, and fglrx does too. | |
| [19:48] <ikonia> it will really depend on your card and your expectations to define "does it work" | |
| [19:48] <BluesKaj> rww, yes ati drivers are hit and miss on linux , depends on the HW | |
| [19:48] <lordievader> ozbrk: Hmm this might explain it [1] doesn't list the HD 5830 as supported for the 13.101 driver <- the one Saucy ships: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7115981/forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378785 | |
| [19:48] <rww> BluesKaj: so are nvidia ones, if you care at all about software freedom | |
| [19:49] <ozbrk> Ubuntu Pastebin The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. Return to the Pastebin | |
| [19:49] <ozbrk> whatever what should I do then | |
| [19:49] <lordievader> ozbrk: Err that should be: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378785 | |
| [19:49] <BluesKaj> rww, nvidia has the linux drivers prettywell supported, except for thier very hi-end cards | |
| [19:50] <rww> BluesKaj: using the free-software driver? if so, that contradicts quite a lot of other people I've talked to, but I am pleased about the improvement. | |
| [19:50] <rww> anyways. the silly "{nvidia, amd} is bad, go buy {amd, nvidia}" messages are silly on either side of the aisle, is my point. It depends on what you get and what your priorities are. | |
| [19:50] <BluesKaj> rww, well that's been my experience | |
| [19:51] <ikonia> rww: you're right, the novau stuff is %50/%50 - again depends on your card and expectations like ati | |
| [19:51] <ozbrk> hey lordiveader | |
| [19:51] <ozbrk> thanks for the help but | |
| [19:51] <ozbrk> http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/incomplete :/ | |
| [19:51] <lordievader> ozbrk: You might try installing a newer version of the fglrx driver manually, according to the AMD website 13.12 supports the HD5000 series. I wonder if they said that for 13.6 too: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 | |
| [19:51] <rww> (and arguing that one is better than the other is utterly pointless when -- like now -- the user already bought a graphics card) | |
| [19:52] <dougl> ozbrk, they say I am a character in the flesh but here I try to be serious cuz you can't always tell when I am smiling or grinning | |
| [19:52] <ikonia> dougl: what has that got to do with kubuntu ? | |
| [19:52] <ozbrk> dougl: real deal philosophic topic | |
| [19:53] <ozbrk> ''I went I saw I conquered'' | |
| [19:54] <dougl> ikonia, I try to be sincere and not joking so I don't upset the channel... and I wanted ozbrk to understand in case I offended him when we were discussing our nvidia/ati opinions | |
| [19:54] <ikonia> ???? | |
| [19:55] <ozbrk> hey guys calm down I haven't read all of the conversations | |
| [19:55] <ozbrk> whats going on | |
| [19:55] <dougl> ikonia does not like how wordy I am - does it show? | |
| [20:29] <fkm> Hi there. What VNC server would you recommend, if I want to be able to: a) control the currently running session b) only from the local network c) without entering a password or manually approving connections from the target machine and d) running it as a daemon at startup so it doesn't get in the way and I don't have to remember starting it before I can use it. | |
| [20:30] <fkm> vnc4server, x11vnc, or something else? | |
