[00:08] lol [00:08] BUGabundo: do i know you? [00:09] no idea where you know me :) [00:09] you from Portugal? [00:09] e n, uso ubuntu e algumas apps de KDE [00:09] como kmail [00:09] hahahaha [00:09] and yes, I'm from Portugal [00:09] então como é que aqui vieste parar? [00:09] join us at #ubuntu-pt [00:09] :| [00:09] não sabes quem sou? [00:10] nops [00:10] please talk in english in here === ev0sx1 is now known as Ev0luti0n_ [00:10] xD [00:10] still clear :| [00:10] até colas-te agora [00:10] hahaha [00:13] Anybody here experiencing issues on mounting internal drives with dolphin? [00:14] I've read about it [00:14] a few weeks back [00:15] Ev0luti0n_: what type of drive? [00:15] I ask because of bug 431055, recently fixed [00:15] Launchpad bug 431055 in udev "gnome doesn't 'see' cdroms/dvds" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/431055 [00:16] this title is misleading, because it's actually a bug in udev, which is used by all *buntus [00:16] erm [00:17] i can't access the other windows partitions on the same drive, which i first need to mount on dolphin [00:17] to access the contents! [00:17] What file system do those partitions use? [00:17] ntfs [00:18] has to do with hal.device.invalidmountpoint [00:19] i can provide screenshot if needed! I am going to read the launchpad site [00:19] as I told you fsck the drives [00:19] prob bad mount points [00:21] I can't see an existing bug related to NTFS mount problems or hal.device.InvalidMountPoint [00:21] going to take screenshot [00:26] hi, can someone who starts an installation of karmic confirm a bug I found here:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/433714 [00:26] Launchpad bug 433714 in empathy "initial empathy account wizard does not offer IRC as an account" [Undecided,New] [00:27] Cynthia: [00:27] http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1146/snapshot1ue.png [00:28] Cynthia: any thoughts on this? [00:30] goat-eee: you need empaty plugins for that [00:31] Ev0luti0n_: I have no idea. Can't find anything on Launchpad about that either, so you may want to file this as a bug on Launchpad [00:31] BUGabundo: why? the choice is available after exiting the wizard and going into Account [00:31] is it? [00:31] BUGabundo: yes [00:31] that's stupid :( [00:31] hence, a bug :P [00:32] and, imho, kind of an important one [00:32] goat-eee: I haven't set up Empathy on my install yet, I'll try to confirm your bug [00:32] although, since there is a work around, i guess its not that bad [00:32] Cynthia: thanks!! [00:35] goat-eee: confirmed, got screenshots. trimming them and using OptiPNG before posting them [00:35] Cynthia: nice, i didn [00:35] t know how to get the SS when the list was shown [00:35] goat-eee: the "People Nearby" option is also missing from the Welcome Screen [00:36] and I got the menu by cheating a little with the screenshot tool: I started it manually from Applications/Accessories and set the delay to 3 seconds [00:36] start, switch to Empathy, click menu, wait [00:36] Cynthia: ahh, nice [00:39] on a alpha 5 install, one of the package upgrades caused the system not to boot to gdm anymore, there is a quick message about bad symlink, and then before login there is an acpi error that the system bus could not be loaded, anyone come across this? [00:40] goat-eee: There have been a bunch of people with different errors - can you pastebin a dmesg somewhere? [00:40] yes, one moment [00:42] penguin42: would messages be useful? [00:42] since i'm in a live env, dmesg isn't avail [00:42] and when i boot, no interfaces work [00:42] goat-eee: Oh right, erm maybe, what graphics hardware do you have? [00:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/274958/ [00:43] intel [00:44] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [00:44] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [00:45] goat-eee: You have a bunch of nasties in there [00:45] penguin42: i think it goes beyond just gdm loading, as my encrypted home partition doesnt load [00:45] penguin42: there is an open bug report about the giwscan log spam [00:45] the heat one can't help [00:46] penguin42: which is not correct... as the laptop is not hot :P [00:46] i'm going to try removing the eee acpi-tools i installed... that might help [00:47] what about the RTMPCancelTimer? [00:47] that is new to me [00:47] it doesn't look particularly healthy [00:48] penguin bug 376577 [00:48] Launchpad bug 376577 in linux "module rt2860sta ERROR!!!

[00:49] ok, i'm rebooting the eee and removing eeepc-acpi package [00:49] penguin42: yes [00:50] ooohhh..... 10.04's release name will be lucid lynx [00:50] cool animal :D [00:54] mrmcq2u_: aye, very cool. I was thinking it could be lemur or something, but lynx is good too [00:55] musikgoat: I'd see what happens if you do a startx [00:55] http://www.freespiritart.com/images/dozing-lynx.jpg [00:55] an example of what a lynx is [00:55] surely that would be a lazy lynx [00:56] penguin42: trying now [00:56] it seems to be just hanging [00:56] xauth: timeout in lcoking authority file /home/tim/.Xauthority [00:57] when i ctrl+c that, it started to load [00:57] odd one [00:57] penguin42: it may be due to the fact that my encrypted home partition isn't mounting [00:57] :) [00:57] ah [00:58] that was a stupid choice to do during alpha testing [00:58] well I think it will be known as lynx not lucid but its still too early to tell [00:58] or nicknamed I should say [00:59] That would be too confusing with the web browser [01:01] ?? somebody wants to send you the file startkeylogger? [01:02] hmm, maybe reporting to #freenod [01:05] somebody is a stupid nick very confusing [01:05] * somebody :No such nick/channel [01:06] hmm === BUGabundo1 is now known as BUGabundo [01:09] where can I edit the timeout period of the grub menu? [01:09] /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist [01:09] Cynthia: #freenode is aware of it [01:10] musikgoat: good [01:11] andresmh: Grub 2's configuration is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [01:11] awesome thanks [01:12] also, i've noticed that karmic takesa while to shutdown, i forget exactly the message but at the end it shows something like "stopping process" and it keeps trying multiple times [01:13] init: rc main process stopped by STOP signal / init: rc main process continued by CONT signal? [01:13] and log-outs from GDM take exactly 10 seconds [01:13] Cynthia, yeah! [01:14] and then [213.451312] Restarting system [01:14] hmm, this sucks, i cannot even mount a usb device [01:14] what is that about Cynthia ? [01:14] dmesg | tail shows the usb detected... "configuration #1 chosen from one choice" [01:14] andresmh: No idea [01:14] at least you've noticed too :) [01:14] but no reference to the device node [01:15] The grub.cfg file says that it takes its text from the various /etc/grub.d files, so update those files too if you edit the timeout etc. [01:15] or edit those /etc/grub.d files and run update-grub [01:16] umm seems more complicated than it used to :-/ [01:16] andresmh: Are you trying to get the grub menu to come up? [01:16] i think your supposed to edit /etc/default/grub, aren't you? [01:16] andresmh: If that is the case you just have to hold shift on boot [01:16] Amaranth, i do want the grub menu to show up but not very often [01:16] oh by default the menu is showing up [01:17] is it not supposed to Amaranth ? [01:17] it isn't supposed to if you only have ubuntu [01:17] i have windowze too :-/ [01:18] but i almost never use it, so i would be fine skipping the menu most of the time [01:18] any suggestions on how to force a detection of a usb thumb drive [01:18] or force the device to be linked [01:18] I am not understanding /etc/grub.d files to figure out how to hide it/reduce the time out [01:18] andresmh: edit /etc/default/grub on the line GRUB_TIMEOUT="10" [01:19] then run sudo update-grub [01:19] thanks musikgoat ! [01:19] andresmh: yw [01:19] andresmh: in that case you should be able to set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to 0 [01:19] if i wanted to hide the grub menu and only show it with shift pressed as Amaranth mentioned, what would i want to chnange? [01:19] andresmh: then it'll only show up when you hold shift [01:20] aha [01:20] alright! i am going to try it out [01:20] brb [01:20] :) [01:22] hi, where's the page of mockups? [01:24] are there problems with the intel driver at the moment? can't seem to load the i810 module here [01:27] <[31d1]> dang it the ancient thinkfinger bug just came back [01:27] Amaranth, musikgoat, i set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to 0 but it still showed the grub menu [01:28] i did run update-grub afterwards [01:28] andresmh: hmm, I guess that only works when it only finds one OS [01:28] i see [01:29] i'll set GRUB_TIMEOUT="1" [01:30] yey for persistent live usb!! [01:30] I have installed the fixed cryptsetup, and am rebooting [01:31] I keep getting Network Manager crashes, when I try to report them I get "The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes" [01:40] Has anyone seen karmic hard lock with only '^@^@^@^@^' aka binary goo in /var/log/messages when it happens? I'm not sure if this needs to be reported or how to troubleshoot it. [01:40] The only outliers are an ATI video card using fglrx and a resiserfs /home [01:41] But on leaving this pc @ the gdm login prompt or using it normally, it completely deadlocks fairly frequently [02:04] hmm, still get wierd "error locking counter" error, any suggestions for debugging "ecryptfs-mount-private" === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [02:40] hmm, pulseaudio still misdetects my usb surround sound card. [03:07] does anyone know, if I reinstall karmic, alpha 6, with the same username and not formatting /home partition, would it recover the encrypted fs? [03:08] i chose to login and unencrypt [03:08] the first install [03:08] so /home/.ecryptfs has my username/.Private and username/.ecryptfs [03:19] zruty: see !piracy [03:19] Wrong channel :) [03:24] anyone know what package the installer is in? [03:24] musikgoat: ubiquity [03:25] Cynthia: thanks, the installer for karmic refers to pidgin, which isn't installed anymore by default lol [03:26] (the waiting slides) [03:26] musikgoat: that still isn't fixed in alpha6's installer? (I saw it in a5) [03:26] nope [03:26] well damn; are you filing a bug about this? [03:26] if you aren't, I will :) [03:26] oh yea [03:27] suprisingly, there isn't an existing one that i can find [03:27] i'm filing bugs left and right [03:27] er [03:27] the slideshow itself [03:27] yes [03:27] The slideshow itself is in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu [03:28] oh, awesome thanks [03:29] 423640 [03:29] bug 423640 [03:29] Launchpad bug 423640 in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu "pidgin promoted in slideshow while not being in the livefs or resulting install" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/423640 [03:30] Fix is committed by Evan Dandrea in lp:ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu revision 134 :) [03:30] oh, nice [03:30] i guess it'll be in the beta [03:44] Hmm...I would think there would be a warning about how broken the latest upgrade is === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [03:45] jdo: you mean besides the warning when installing and in the channel message? :) [03:46] jdo: i just installed alpha6 and am doing an upgrade, any packages i should avoid? [03:53] jdo: You mean there was another update in the last 3 hours? [03:57] evening, all [03:58] Any comments on Empathy versus Pidgin? Just trying out 9.10 alpha 6 live disk [03:59] hi, I'm trying out Alpha 6, and I have some questions. First, is anyone else having stability issues with the newest kernel (2.6.31)? Whenever I boot with it, my screen starts flickering like crazy and the system doesn't go into the login screen [03:59] reverting to the latest Jaunty kernel fixed the issue [04:01] myk_robinson: I'm ok with it so far, but I'm still getting used to it... i haven't looked into all the plugins yet [04:01] also, using VLC has been a pain. I can't get the controller on the screen (only video) [04:02] jdsbluedev: turn off compiz [04:02] musikgoat: compiz is causing the kernel problem? [04:02] jdsbluedev: no, its cauing your remote desktop problem [04:03] compiz is iffy on karmic , I had more plasma crashes with it enabled than without [04:03] well, turning off compiz doesn't fix the VLC issue [04:03] i'm just wondering how xfce's shaping up in karmic [04:03] so I imagine you're talking about the boot problem instead? [04:04] jdsbluedev: hmm, there is a known bug in vino that causes the vnc server to not paint changes to the client when compiz is enabled, i had believed you were suffering from that [04:05] blinking problem remains in 2.6.31 bootup, even with Compiz off [04:05] so I guess you were talking about VLC [04:06] yes, did you see my statements above? [04:06] yeah, you said remote desktop [04:06] musikgoat: jdsbluedev: hmm, there is a known bug in vino that causes the vnc server to not paint changes to the client when compiz is enabled, i had believed you were suffering from that [04:06] I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to deeper stuff, so I didn't know what you meant by that [04:06] and that, I saw. [04:06] ahh [04:07] but yeah, the VLC and kernel problems are separate [04:07] need a litte help. Just installed 9.10 on a test laptop. Worked great in Live CD mode, but installed, the screen just flickers in text, does not respond to any typing, and i have to force a power down on the system. WHere to start? How can i startup in some sort of safe graphics mode long enough to run updates? [04:07] the kernel I tried to use was 2.6.31-10 [04:07] seems to be unstable. Kernel I set to default for the time being (until kernel issues are fixed) is 2.6.28-15 [04:09] also, seems the hard drive light flickers in time with the screen. EXT4 issues, or kernel related? [04:12] indicator-applet-session 0.1 > Set Status opens a menu with 5 menu items: 'Available', 'Away', 'Busy', 'Invisible', 'Offline'. All are grayed out. Why? [04:13] bullgard4: wouldn't that only be used if you are using empathy? [04:13] are you running empathy? === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [04:14] any idea how to bring up the boot menu in 9.10? [04:14] myk_robinson1: possibly hold shift after bios [04:14] or tap continuously [04:14] musikgoat: Empathy IM client is installed by default. But I have not yet been running it on this computer. [04:15] shift got it, thank you [04:15] bullgard4: right, those options are tied into that app as far as i understand [04:15] myk_robinson1: cool [04:15] musikgoat: Ok. Thank you for commenting. [04:15] i still get the flicker even in recovery mode. I can do nothing, but the live CD worked.. ANy ideas? [04:17] the keyboard is workining now, but have to press each key several time before it enter.. trying to run updates to see if anything gets fixed [04:18] myk_robinson1: Please accustom to the habit to prepend your IRC messages with the nick of the addressee. It is impolite to the rest of the many users of a much used channel to leave that out. [04:18] bullgard4: sorry, it was a general inquiry meant for whomever could help [04:19] myk_robinson1: I see. Please enjoy Ubuntu. [04:19] another issue I'm noticing is that volume control does not seem to be working [04:20] jdsbluedev: hmm, i have seen that as well in jaunty as of late [04:20] musikgoat: it's missing from the toolbar, and it's refusing to open when I go to the Applications menu [04:20] i need some help gnome-do docky is very very slow on my intel 943 card i hear the 2.4.3 driver will fix this [04:21] jdsbluedev: do you have an audio hardware detected in lspci? [04:21] yes, Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 8) [04:22] hmm, and are there built in drivers for that card? i'm not sure... [04:22] well, I can get sound if I turn the speakers up high [04:23] jdsbluedev: well that answers that :) [04:23] I think it's just a matter of getting into the system volume control [04:23] but I can't do that [04:24] I'm stuck on a dialog box that says "waiting for sound system to respond" [04:24] hmm, you can use alsamixer as a work around until the issue is fixed [04:25] yep, that's working [04:26] thx [04:26] as for the kernel problem, I guess I'll have to file a bug report on that. Or do you know if anyone else is experiencing that? [04:27] jdsbluedev: hmm, looks like it could be due to pulseaudio being missing, did you uninstall that? [04:27] i need to add a line to my xorg.config file but i cant find it in karmic [04:27] jdsbluedev: i'm not sure [04:27] musikgoat: the main pulseaudio package is installed [04:28] http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7960871 [04:28] thats where i saw that possibility [04:28] webb82f: It is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:28] musikgoat: it's installed, so that can't be it [04:29] jdsbluedev: yes, but you could add to this thread if you want [04:29] to get further help [04:29] my xorg.config file is empty [04:30] im trying to speed up gnome dos docky [04:32] webb82f: My xorg.conf is not empty by default. I do not know dos docky. [04:32] caution with 'dos', you really mean "do's". Gnome DO's Docky [04:33] webb82f: /etc/X11/xinit/sserverrc has some stuff... but i think everything is moved around in this version of X... [04:35] nice, fail!!! [04:36] init: unable to connect to the system bus: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory [04:36] same error I had before re-installing [04:36] i need to add Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" to xorg.conf [04:36] will that mess up my computer [04:37] if it does it would be easy enough to fix [04:38] how [04:38] blow away xorg.conf again [04:40] hmm, trying a dist-upgrade now to fix my issue :) [04:40] karmic alpha 6: Alt-gr key not working.. ideas?? [04:41] dael99: using which keyboard layout? [04:41] Spanish [04:41] EEUU the same [04:44] neither the Win key [04:44] I've tried configuring I-Bus, nothing working... [04:45] |@#~½¬{[]} is this your number row with Alt-Gr? [04:45] ibus sucks, compared to SCIM. [04:45] \|@#~½¬{[]}\~ [04:45] If I try to use the latex input method, it eats all input without waiting for a '\' to trigger on. [04:46] @DanaG: but it's by default in Karmic [04:46] dael99: well, I don't know; I just typed this line in the Spain / variant Spain keyboard layout in XChat without much more configuration [04:46] oh, and the icon in the tray is really, really fugly. [04:46] I just went into the keyboard preferences as usual [04:47] @Cynthia: but you are on Karmic?? [04:47] dael99: Yes, on Karmic alpha 6, otherwise I would not be in #ubuntu+1 :) [04:47] @DanaG: cannot agree more... [04:47] xD [04:48] ok... any idea of WHY if I choose Spanish in boot menu, the layout is EEUU.. and not working?? [04:48] anoyone know of a good alternative to the gnome menu [04:48] dael99: Ah, in the boot menu for the live CD. I haven't tried it there, only from inside GNOME. Sorry. [04:49] @webb82f: you mean the tree words at the top?? Gnome super menu? Global Menu? AWN? [04:49] @Cynthia: anyway, it should work from inside... [04:49] It does work [04:50] @Cynthia: it seems like a bug for me or a regression [04:53] @Cynthia: i will boot again to karmic and return (i can't use the @ or # so, I can't log in IRC) [04:53] use Ctrl+Shift+U 0040 and 0023 @ # [04:54] /join 0040ubuntu+1 [04:56] ugh, the latex ibus method is completely broken. [04:56] It eats everything. [04:57] itseemstasdfoasdf [04:57] argh, itkeepseatingallspacesbecauseitassumesit'ssupposedtomatcheverything. [04:57] translation: it seems to eat spaces too [04:57] Ittriestoformamatchevenbeforeyouputinthebackslash. [04:58] PerhapsIshouldfileabugonthat. [04:58] Perhaps you should [04:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=ibus+latex&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=project&field.scope.target=ubuntu [04:59] no bug filed about this yet [05:01] any info on karmic 64 not mounting cd media--I can burn correctly but not play or read them? [05:11] @Cynthia: working. [05:11] but i'll fill a Bug. [05:11] dael99: ok [05:12] @Cynthia: however, it's not set by default and means a usability issue. [05:12] (I'm on english desktop) can this be the reason? [05:13] it shouldn't do that even on an English desktop [05:13] if you select the Spain option in the CD boot screen [05:13] @Cynthia: totally agree. The fix is really simple (just a checkbox). Hope this doesn't land on Karmic [05:14] that should be applied as a keyboard layout independently of locale [05:16] I'll boot again to see how this behaves when selecting Spanish. [05:17] anyone know what i can do about a clicky or poping sound card initialization, even better how to make pulse audio stop crashing lol [05:18] @tj83: PulseAudio is really buggy, have you try killing it and using Alsa alone? [05:19] dael99, well, if i kill it respawns and i just got it actually working in all my applications so if can just keep it going would be good. [05:21] this normal? Sep 20 23:16:56 quad pulseaudio[5061]: ratelimit.c: 152 events suppressed [05:21] @tj83 is that from your syslog? [05:22] /var/log/messages [05:22] i am tailing syslog atm too [05:22] waiting for the next crash [05:23] alright, another clean installation and the laptop is actually working now, no clue why.. My laptop fan is running constantly whereas it didint in the previous release. What can I do to begin troubleshooting? Its a compaq with AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU [05:24] myk_robinson, see if cpu scaling is working use top or system monitor to see if you have any hung processes [05:24] pulse audio had me pegged at 99% earlier [05:24] tj83: how can i verify cpu scaling? [05:24] tj83: 'We expect there will be regressions in the form of audible pops when the AMPs power down (and/or up). If you experience this symptom in 9.10, please file a bug using "ubuntu-bug alsa-base". Be sure to change the summary of the bug afterward to "[9.10 regression] HDA power_save=10".' [05:25] tj83: I suppose you won't want to use the title though so I could have just said `ubuntu-bug alsa-base` :P [05:25] @tj83: no, it's not normal :D [05:25] tj83: processes seem normal, minimal usage while idle [05:25] dael99: pretty sure putting @ like that breaks nick highlighting for most people which defeats the whole purpose of putting the nick in front of a line [05:25] tj83: pulseaudio is showing to be sleeping, using 0% [05:26] Amaranth: not to mention that the @ can make the target look like an op [05:27] though @Cynthia: earlier did highlight me, I guess XChat is lenient on that [05:27] myk_robinson, sudo tail /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq [05:27] sorry had to dive in to remember that path. [05:27] lol [05:28] tj83: seems to be. I ran the command a few times and got different numbers, mostly being lower [05:29] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-table/+bug/433778 [05:29] Launchpad bug 433778 in ibus-table "ibus latex input method (package ibus-table) doesn't wait for backslash before triggering" [Undecided,New] [05:30] myk_robinson, then its working [05:31] myk_robinson, you could try a combination of gkrellm or conkey and lm-sensors to get temperatures in most cases, hddtemp too [05:31] tj83: thank you. Is there more I can check? May just be some regression within the kernel. 9.04 did not do this, the fan cut on and off with regard to temperatire. [05:31] tj83: or less /etc/motd [05:32] tj83: just checked my temps with lm-sensors, everything is fine. 41 degrees celcius with a critical of 120 degrees [05:32] because of the update-motd package, which gives you the temperature of the processor [05:36] after the complete upgrade empathy is removed and cannot be installed again i get some dependency error [05:36] Bah. "Lucid Lynx" indeed. [05:37] om26er: This is why you don't blindly dist-upgrade [05:37] om26er: wait a couple hours until all the pieces of it finish building and try again [05:39] om26er: did you update your repos? [05:39] musikgoat: yes i just updated them [05:40] empathy: Depends: libebook1.2-9 (>= 2.27.92) [05:44] Is there any plan to implement some sanity check on a .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives before the system tries to install it? Currently if the file partially exists from a broken download it assumes the thing is whole [05:47] how do you configure nic's in karmic? [05:47] genii-around, @ Lucid Lynx... i was there at ALF, were you? [05:47] tj83: No, I don't get out much. They have me physically chained to the computer [05:47] mezquitale, is it not /etc/network/interfaces anymore? [05:48] empathy: Depends: libebook1.2-9 (>= 2.27.92) [05:48] this error is now more than 5days old [05:49] tj83, i do not know, I didnt automatically configure my nic's when I installed karmic because I did not have net access at the time [05:50] mezquitale, use the GUI nm-applet network manager in the system tray or use the file /etc/network/interfaces file to manually configure. [05:50] om26er: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libebook&searchon=names&suite=karmic§ion=all reports libebook is at that version (2.27.92). So you could try force version with something like: sudo apt-get install libebook=2.27.92 [05:52] might need packagename exactly as libebook1.2-9 there actually, but same idea [05:52] hmm, i guess the status options are not enabled, even when empathy is running... [05:52] up's updates... rebooting. [05:52] I have all grey options for status under the section where I can shutdown [05:52] genii-around: it says no package libebook [05:53] tj83, it looks like i have to install the drivers first, I cant even configure the wireless, the error Im getting is "Tthe configuration could not be saved. Invalid data was found." [05:53] om26er: try as I said then with packagename set to libebook1.2-9 but otherwise exact same command [05:54] om26er: eg: sudo apt-get install libebook1.2-9=2.27.92 [05:55] genii-around: E: Version '2.27.92' for 'libebook1.2-9' was not found [05:55] bullgard4: I'm sorry, I was wrong about the status options you were referencing... looks like they are not integrated into empathy currently... or there is something stopping them from working even when empathy is running [05:55]
