[07:16] <lordievader> Good morning. |
|
[09:14] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks |
|
[09:47] <Fuzzywhirlpool> yeah, morning. |
|
[09:47] <lordievader> o/ |
|
[09:47] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Has the usb hdd eject problem beeb solved? |
|
[09:48] <Fuzzywhirlpool> usb hdd doesn't spin down when ejected via kde safely remove. |
|
[09:49] <lordievader> Doesn't that depend on the hard drive implementation? |
|
[09:49] <lordievader> I've seen harddrives that do and that don't spin down after an unmount. |
|
[09:57] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Gnome has the safely remove function properly spins down and turn off hdd. |
|
[09:58] <Fuzzywhirlpool> On KDE, to achieve the same goal, udisks need to be installed and do the safely removal process by issuing `sudo udisks --detach /dev/sdb` |
|
[09:59] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: Have you made a bug report? |
|
[10:03] <Fuzzywhirlpool> I've reported to KDE bugs, but it's marked as duplicate of bug 270808 |
|
[10:03] <ubottu> Error: Launchpad bug 270808 could not be found |
|
[10:04] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Sorry, ubottu. I didn't post the bug on launchpad. |
|
[10:07] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: Have you seen the status? Closed Wontfix. "Closing the thread for lack of activity." |
|
[10:22] <Fuzzywhirlpool> Yeah, I know it won't be fixed. Not many users have interest to spin down the usb hdd to extend the hdd lifetime. |
|
[10:23] <Fuzzywhirlpool> For now, I just use udisks to achieve the safe removal. |
|
[10:25] <lordievader> Fuzzywhirlpool: From what I've read that wasn't the reason for closure. The original reported didn't answer questions or performed tests. |

[12:44] <BenediktXVII> Hello everybody. Maybe somebody can help me, I am having serious overheating issues with my laptop. It goes up to 80-90° C even when I just have my browser open and kontact. I updated my graphic cards driver, but though it improved my computer still overheats. I need to bring in a job for tomorrow (I am a translator working with OmegaT) but it is impossible to even launch the app, it is way too slow to even consider doing my translation. |
|
[12:53] <function9> BenediktXVII: it sounds like your laptop needs a service |
|
[12:55] <lordievader> BenediktXVII: Have you blown out the fan ports with compressed air? |
|
[12:55] <BenediktXVII> nope, I will try that |
|
[12:55] <BenediktXVII> thanks for the tip, now the challenge will be to dismantle it |
|
[12:56] <BenediktXVII> I am backing up my files right now |
|
[13:00] <function9> +1 on compressed air |
|
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> on sunday I have nowhere to buy that, I was thinking of just dismantling the laptop and brush out the the dust. |
|
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> I have an anti-static brush |
|
[13:02] <BenediktXVII> which I use to clean camera lenses |
|
[13:15] <function9> BenediktXVII: when push comes to shove, try a hair dryer??? Set it for high speed cold air |
|
[13:24] <bwr> hi room |
|
[13:24] <BenediktXVII> I will try that too |
|
[13:38] <BenediktXVII> Is it normal that copying 200 GB of data to an external USB HDD takes over 3 hours ? |
|
[13:39] <Meerkat> BenediktXVII, possibly, probably. Are there many small files? |
|
[13:40] <BenediktXVII> it is my home folder |
|
[13:40] <lordievader> BenediktXVII: If usb2.0, yes. |
|
[13:40] <BenediktXVII> oh, ok |
|
[13:40] <Meerkat> then yes. It will take a long time. |
|
[13:43] <BenediktXVII> And I imagine that the overheating problem doesn't help either |
|
[13:44] <BenediktXVII> I am just running KFolderSync and Quassel and my cpu is at 78°C despite that I elevated my laptop and put Ice Packs underneath |
|
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan |
|
[14:01] <function9> Copying files uses a lot more CPU resource than RAM, hence it would overheat a bit more, but mine doesn't run that high temps(laptop). My laptop averages around 50-55C |
|
[14:03] <BenediktXVII> mine plays between 75 and 82 C, with two icepacks underneath. Without icepacks he goes up to 95 and shuts down. |
|
[14:06] <BenediktXVII> I don't get it, CPU usage 32% |

|
[15:43] <function9> excessive dust build up can do that, I'd pull it apart and give it a good, air compressor |

[16:24] <punkgeek> i need encodeing my php file in /var/www/html, what should i do? :-? |
|
[16:26] <lordievader> punkgeek: I think you can better ask in ##php, this is a desktop channel. |
|
[16:30] <punkgeek> no, i using kubuntu. i need set password or encoding with LUCKS, but i dont no, is this hurting my script? |
|
[16:36] <lordievader> punkgeek: I don't understand anything of what you are saying. You mention three different things that have nothing to do with one another. |
|
[16:42] <23LAA1HV9> any idea about compatibility between libvisual-projectm and latest amarok? i have it installed but cant find it in amarok :( |
|
[17:04] <meoblast001> hi |
|
[17:04] <meoblast001> i'm using the Disks utility and i'm trying to do the SMART test on an external encrypted hard drive |
|
[17:04] <meoblast001> the option in the menu is disabled (grey) and there is nothing in the documentation explaining why this would be disabled |
|
[17:05] <lordievader> meoblast001: What does smartctl say? |
|
[17:06] <meoblast001> without a -d option: /dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x0bc2:0xa003 (0x419)] |
|
[17:06] <lordievader> Is it connected through usb? |
|
[17:06] <meoblast001> yes |
|
[17:07] <lordievader> For as far as I know smart over usb is not supported. |
|
[17:07] <meoblast001> oh. ouch |
|
[17:07] <meoblast001> accidentally got some cords tangled and the drive was swinging around while on |
|
[17:08] <lordievader> meoblast001: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/smart-over-usb-t2314626.html |
|
[17:11] <meoblast001> oh ouch |
|
[17:11] <meoblast001> thanks lordievader |
|
[17:13] <lordievader> No problem. |

[21:34] <Monika> I installed Kubuntu in English by accident, I added German through the system settings - but in keyboard layouts only Swiss German is available, not German German ... how do I get it? |
|
[21:48] <bprompt> Monika: how about in the system settings > locale > hardware > keyboard model? |
|
[21:54] <Monika> 104 keys |
|
[21:56] <Monika> @ bprompt |
|
[22:04] <bprompt> hmm |
|
[22:04] <bprompt> Monika: can't add a new one from the Layout tab there? did you check the "configure layouts" chekmark? it should give an option to [+Add] |
|
[22:05] <Monika> under add there are only two choices |
|
[22:05] <Monika> none of them is Java |
|
[22:05] <Monika> one is CVS |
|
[22:06] <Monika> one is Resource |
|
[22:06] <Monika> ah sorry |
|
[22:06] <Monika> I'm on the wrong chan |
|
[22:06] <bprompt> heheh |
|
[22:06] <Monika> okay, I checked the configure layouts |
|
[22:07] <Monika> before that there was only US English |
|
[22:07] <Monika> now I can add some other |
|
[22:07] <Monika> but only German, Swiss is in the list |
|
[22:07] <Monika> not German |
|
[22:10] <bprompt> hmmm |
|
[22:12] <Monika> do I need to install more packages? |
|
[22:12] <bprompt> sounds like... just wondering which ones |
|
[22:13] <Monika> I have installed language-pack-kde-de language-pack-de |
|
[22:13] <Monika> kde-l10n-de was already there |
|
[22:14] <bprompt> Monika: this is for 14.04 right? |
|
[22:14] <Monika> 14.10 |
|
[22:14] <Monika> I had the same problem with a 14.04 install |
|
[22:14] <bprompt> I'm on 12.04 |
|
[22:14] <Monika> but there after doing all the updates the other Layouts were added |
|
[22:14] <Monika> and I installed 14.10 on another system, there German-German layout is available |
|
[22:15] <Monika> but I never installed that one in English |
|
[22:18] <bprompt> hmm btw I was watching a few mins ago that germany won the 2014 cup =) |
|
[22:18] <Monika> hehe :-) |
|
[22:18] <Monika> I didn't, but I can hear from the noise on the streets that the German team won ^^ |
|
[22:18] <Monika> honk honk honk honk honk |
|
[22:22] <bprompt> I don't see anything in the repositories... indicating any installable packages for that |
