[00:59] <mamarley> It would be quite nice if you could copy a package from the main distribution into a PPA.
[01:00] <mamarley> (Using the web interface, same as copying packages between PPAs.)
[01:13] <junkanoo> having trouble with my 14.04 display/power settings... after just a few minutes of inactivity, the screen dims like 50%
[01:13] <junkanoo> looking at tweak, I don't have anything set that would cause it
[01:15] <junkanoo> actually brightness and lock

[06:20] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:58] <hyde> ah, Qt is finally 5.2. Time to start testing the beta in real use :) (in a non-critical VM , but still)
[08:26] <stego> hello! how's the state of bumblebee / nvidia optimus graphics on 14.04? is there any recommended way?
[10:29] <ziggurat> Yesterday I had error while installing Ubuntu 14.04, it was unable to complete grub-install, ran the command in a terminal and there was something about /moo or something. Any known issue?
[10:33] <DJones> I've only done one 14.04 install and taht was a couple of weeks back, at the time I didn't have any issues, all I had to do was disable either secure boot or fastboot, I can't remember which
[10:35] <andry> dont boot the iso as uefi
[10:45] <Cerberus> hello. anyone here has audio issues with 14.04? I installed it yesterday and everything was working fine but today sound is skipping and not working on mp3 files and youtube
[11:07] <ziggurat> DJones and andry, Thanks!
[11:17] <Cerberus> lol sound issue just fixed itself after new updates from few minutes ago

[13:39] <louisdk> I've been trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 to 14.04 however it crashes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7125264/
[13:39] <IdleOne> louisdk: try with sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[13:39] <IdleOne> but you probably want to wait for release
[13:45] <louisdk> IdleOne: It crashes too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7125301/
[13:47] <IdleOne> like I said, you probably should wait for release in about 3 weeks
[13:47] <IdleOne> I don't know how to help with this. maybe someone else in here will, sit tight and be patient
[13:55] <philinux> louisdk;~ only just logged in. whats the poblem?
[13:58] <SuperLag> I've reinstalled one of my systems. Moved ~ onto a separate drive. I have that drive mounted as /home and the directory "aaron" is inside of it. Perms on "aaron" are 755. I can log in, but I get no desktop. Just a blank Ubuntu screen with the "ubuntu 14.04 LTS" in the corner. If I switch to console, I can log in as aaron and all my stuff is there. What gives?
[13:58] <BluesKaj> louisdk, make sure you don't have any ppas in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[13:58] <louisdk> <philinux:
[13:59] <louisdk> philinux: I've been trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 to 14.04 however it crashes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7125264/ - sudo do-release-upgrade -d crashes too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7125301/
[14:00] <ikonia> I suspect the opera stuff is stopping the sources.list from being maniuplated
[14:00] <louisdk> ikonia: Will try to disable that first, then all ppas.
[14:01] <ikonia> errr no
[14:01] <ikonia> you should have done that before even starting
[14:01] <ikonia> and in my opinion all non-core software should be removed
[14:01] <ikonia> if you're going to upgrade to a developent release, it's worth reading the actual requirements/notes to upgrade.
[14:02] <SuperLag> Is there a keystroke to log out or restart X that's different than it used to be? Ctrl-Alt-Backspace no longer works.,
[14:02] <ikonia> !nozap
[14:02] <ikonia> that got removed ages ago
[14:02] <ikonia> !dontzap
[14:02] <ikonia> let me see if I can find the factoid
[14:03] <louisdk> ikonia: update-manager usually disables all non-standard repos doing upgrade. But thanks guys I think I can proceed from here :)
[14:04] <ikonia> louisdk: that won't fix dependencies, nor will it manage any repos that have a non-standard naming convention
[14:04] <philinux> louisdk;~ I tried an upgrade from 13.10 2 weeks ago and it failed. Ended up doing a clean install from the live daily
[14:05] <ikonia> SuperLag: the factoid is "dontzap" for for some reason it's not work, I'll need to look at that, but it basically tells you how to enable the X11 reset
[14:05] <louisdk> philinux: Ooh then I should just wait. However I don't expect these fatal errors from beta releases, but that might be true with Ubuntu.
[14:06] <SuperLag> ikonia: so why is that somehow bad now, that it would have been disabled?
[14:06] <ikonia> SuperLag: it's been disabled for many many releases
[14:06] <SuperLag> ikonia: that doedrsn
[14:06] <ikonia> sorry what ?
[14:07] <SuperLag> that doesn't answer the question :)
[14:07] <SuperLag> it was useful, why remove it?
[14:07] <ikonia> it wasn't seen as useful, and I think people used to hit it by accident out of windows habbits, I don't know thought but it doesn't change the fact it's gone
[14:08] <philinux> SuperLag;~ one is ctrl alt del
[14:08] <philinux> get the logout gui
[14:11] <philinux> SuperLag;~ also if you can get a terminal up you can use gnome-session-quit
[14:11] <SuperLag> didn't know that one
[14:11] <SuperLag> thank s
[14:12] <SuperLag> Do you guys encrypt ~ when you install?
[14:13] <BluesKaj> not me , I'm a home user, don't see the need for it
[14:13] <philinux> SuperLag;~ also this > http://www.humans-enabled.com/2013/10/ubuntu-1310-enable-controlaltbackspace.html
[14:22] <philinux> Have you guys seen this news. 14.04 Adds ‘Click to Minimize App’ Option to Unity Launcher

[14:23] <ikonia> https://access.redhat.com/site/support/policy/updates/errata/
[14:24] <ikonia> tie that in with 3rd party applicatoins such as Oracle, Websphere, and hardware lifecyles and thats pretty much how businesses plan it out

[15:33] <llutz_> could anyone using 14.04 on a thinkpad and having "linrunners tlp" installed check "ls -l /dev/rfkill" for me, pls. is there an acl set (allowing user with uid=1000 rw- on /dev/rfkill)

[16:35] <Wnt> oh, didn't read your whole question, I don't have "linrunners tlp" installed

[17:54] <miraiE> hi, i've dist-upgraded kubuntu, including qt5, why qtcreator home screen is blank white?
[18:59] <hyper_ch> hmmm, since todays updates I have noa baloo_file_extractor using much cpu... but I don't know what that is
[19:01] <melkor> Wow, something with the most recent update has brought my system to a halt.
[19:30] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, it's the new file indexer that replaces nepomuk
[19:31] <hyper_ch> BluesKaj: it sucks... I can't disable or remove it
[19:35] <hyper_ch> 14.04 has massive problems
[19:36] <hyper_ch> when I switch kvm to other box
[19:36] <hyper_ch> and switch back
[19:36] <hyper_ch> with usb bluetooth headset
[19:36] <hyper_ch> it won't get reactivate
[19:36] <hyper_ch> not even detaching / reattaching helps
[19:36] <hyper_ch> I need to reboot
[19:36] <hyper_ch> I usually have also two external monitors
[19:36] <hyper_ch> and the notebook display turned off
[19:37] <hyper_ch> when I boot with not monitors attached
[19:37] <hyper_ch> screen stays turned off because external monitors are not there
[19:38] <BluesKaj> hyper_ch, yes 14.04 has some harware recognition problems with kvm switches in the signal path
[19:38] <BluesKaj> hardware
[19:38] <hyper_ch> it used to work in the beginning of 14.04
[19:38] <hyper_ch> but now it doesn't anymore
[19:39] <hyper_ch> the weird thing is, the usb bt mouse also hoocked up to the kvm works
[19:51] <notwist> I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 and it's a pain how the screen blanks after 10 mins, even when watching full screen video. Anyone recognize this? How do I stop it?
[19:52] <notwist> I'm considering modifying xorg.conf but I'd rather not break my system
[19:52] <notwist> I already tried disabling the screen saver, power management features and so on, I don't think there's anything left to try there (but I'd appreciate any suggestions)
[19:53] <notwist> I found a thread online where it said to try "xset -dpms" followed by "xset s noblank" and "xset s off" but now instead of a black screen blanking I get a black and white "classic X" type of screen which looks even worse
[19:53] <melkor> hyper_ch: are you refering to baloo?
[19:54] <hyper_ch> melkor: I was, among other things
[19:55] <hyper_ch> melkor: why do you ask?
[19:56] <melkor> My computer was lagging really bad for a bit. It would just pause for 2-3 seconds. The only strange process I saw was baloo_file_extractor. After it finally finished my computer was working fine again.
[19:58] <hyper_ch> I don't like file indexers
[19:58] <hyper_ch> if I wanted to artifically slow down my system I'd install AV
