| [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% | |
| === sergio_ is now known as Guest37437 | |
| [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 | |
