| nnonix | I filed a bug using 'ubuntu-bug gnome-bluetooth' and it attached the files Dependencies.txt & XsessionErrors.txt. Shouldn't this have included some attachments that include hardware information? | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| hggdh | nnonix: at least bluetooth data, yes | 00:42 |
| cdr700 | Does anyone know how to change panel font colours in karmic? | 00:48 |
| nnonix | hggdh: which command output do you suggest I attach? | 00:48 |
| hggdh | nnonix: I am not sure, never used bluetooth. But, I guess, dmesg would help | 00:54 |

| lxowle | I want to submit a bug about my cd/dvd drive not being able to recognise any media. Can some one tell me what package name that should be with? Thanks. | 02:16 |
| jmarsden | lxowle: That sounds like a hardware issue, file a support request with the drive manufacturer, or just buy a new DVD burner?? What makes you believe this is a Ubuntu bug? | 02:18 |
| lxowle | I used the drive to burn the install disk under 9.04, and then install ubuntu 9.10 beta. | 02:19 |
| bdmurray_ | use linux as the package | 02:20 |
| === bdmurray_ is now known as bdmurray | ||
| lxowle | ok, thanks. | 02:21 |
| hggdh | dtchen: for what is worth -- it seems all my problems with PA vanished after a full reinstall of Karmic, with all gconf settings starting from scratch | 03:41 |
| dtchen | bdmurray: that dvd non-recognition is likely a dupe of 438065 | 04:57 |
| dtchen | hggdh: yeah, gconf is a known-bear | 04:57 |
| hggdh | dtchen: I wonder how much of problems on upgrade come from stale settings (everywhere) | 04:58 |
| dtchen | hggdh: many more than i'd like | 04:59 |
| omegamormegil | I just installed the Karmic UNR beta and I get stuck in an endless reboot loop when the computer tries to boot. I didn't see a bug report. Anybody else hear of this problem? | 05:39 |
| omegamormegil | All I get is the initial "Loading Grub" message and it immediately reboots. Over and over. | 05:41 |

| cwillu | I'll be back in a moment (need to reboot before ubuntu-bug will do anything), but can somebody confirm that alt-middle click is bound to "raise/lower window" by default, in conflict with alt-middleclick window resizing? | 09:45 |
| cwillu_clone | so having said that and rebooted... :p | 09:50 |
| cwillu_clone | ugh, holding down shift doesn't work on this system, but grub2 still doesn't give me any time to hit escape | 09:56 |
| gp_will_be_back | is net conections manger fixed in karmic koala | 10:03 |

| jarnos | What is the best way to report a bug, if suspend to RAM does not work? | 12:47 |
| yofel | jarnos: define doesn't work a bit better, doesn't do anything or crashes? | 12:59 |
| jarnos | It displays some Intel text in console that is replaced by the desktop environment and does not continue. | 13:02 |
| jarnos | yofel, I can't resume from that point. | 13:03 |
| yofel | hm, not sure in that case, anybody else? | 13:05 |
| jarnos | yofel, Oh, sorry, I meant the normal desktop environment is replaced by console with the text. | 13:12 |
| yofel | jarnos: do you have access to a tty? | 13:13 |
| yofel | well, if yes, check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if X crashed, or maybe you can check Xorg.0.log.old now | 13:16 |
| jarnos | yofel, no I don't. | 13:18 |
| Capsaicin | hey guys | 13:23 |
| Capsaicin | I need help with reporting a bug | 13:23 |
| Capsaicin | because I dont know which package is the problem | 13:24 |
| Capsaicin | is anyone alive? | 13:24 |
| yofel | jarnos: well, best you wait for somebody else then, I don't know very much about suspend issues | 13:24 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: what's the bug? | 13:24 |
| Capsaicin | my wireless connection keeps dropping sometimes, disconnecting and reconnecting | 13:25 |
| yofel | what driver do you use? | 13:25 |
| Capsaicin | well, im a linux newbie so I dont really know.... | 13:26 |
| Capsaicin | i use karmic koala beta on a msi wind U100 netbook | 13:27 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: what wireless card do you have? (run lspci in a terminal) | 13:27 |
| Capsaicin | RaLink RT2860 | 13:27 |
| yofel | hurray, same as me... same crappy driver... | 13:28 |
| Capsaicin | do u experience the same problem? | 13:28 |
| yofel | if I'm far away enough from the AP then yes | 13:28 |
| Capsaicin | ok | 13:28 |
| Capsaicin | but i dont have any problems with windows.... | 13:29 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: I know, the driver isn't really in a good state, that's why it's in the staging section of the kernel | 13:32 |
| Capsaicin | ok, so its not a problem with ubuntu? | 13:32 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: no, if you want, you could try to report a bug at kernel.org, but i'm not sure if this driver is even supported | 13:32 |
| Capsaicin | ok, so what does it mean that its in the staging section? | 13:36 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: that the kernel developers don't think the driver is good enough to be officially included but the leave it in staging for testing purposes | 13:37 |
| yofel | I looked at the driver myself once, but I really don't know enough about hardware programming to mess with it and there doesn't seem to be anybody to do that | 13:38 |
| Capsaicin | ok, thanx man | 13:42 |
| yofel | Capsaicin: actually here's the TODO from the driver source, that's about the most information you can get: http://yofel.pastebin.com/f385fba54 | 13:48 |
| hosoka | hello all | 14:03 |

| hosoka | thanks yofel. | 14:37 |
| wln | hi, yofel! I'm testing Karmic beta right now and it looks very slick, but I'm having problems with flash on firefox. the system says flashplugin-nonfree is already installed, but Firefox won't run flash content. if I try to install a .deb from the adobe website I get the following error: "dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor". any help? | 14:44 |
| yofel | wln: the file descriptor error is supposed to be fixed, do you have all updates? And for karmic related support please come over to #ubuntu+1 | 14:47 |
| wln | oh, I see. I'm updating it right now and, if I have any problems, I'll join #ubuntu+1. thanks! | 14:54 |

| CarlFK | I plug in a usb drive and get: /media/6deac633-3fc3-41bc-9033-a5eccfd6d253 | 16:12 |
| CarlFK | which makes an alarming window title | 16:13 |
| CarlFK | not sure if thats a bug or not, but want to bring it to someone attention. what package should I bug? | 16:13 |
| klerfayt | of which package is "custom menu bar" part of? | 16:20 |
| springmeyer | trying to install Karmic Beta within Virtual Box from .iso fetched from here: http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu-releases/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-beta-alternate-i386.iso | 16:29 |
| springmeyer | during installation I hit a red screen that says: | 16:29 |
| springmeyer | "An installation step failed... failing step is: Select and install software" | 16:30 |
| springmeyer | anything I can/should do to help provide a bug report? | 16:30 |
| CarlFK | springmeyer: alt-f4 | 16:35 |
| springmeyer | CarlFK: thanks, I'm running through the install again from scratch. will try that if I hit the problem again... | 16:43 |
| springmeyer | CarlFK: okay, i hit the same place again | 17:04 |
| CarlFK | springmeyer: alt-f4 | 17:04 |
| springmeyer | I have hit alt-f4, it takes me to terminal | 17:04 |
| springmeyer | "please press enter to activate this console..." | 17:04 |
| springmeyer | "BusyBox v1.13.3...." | 17:05 |
| CarlFK | huh - I was expecting message log | 17:05 |
| springmeyer | hmm, okay | 17:05 |
| CarlFK | no matter - the log is in /var/log/messages | 17:05 |
| springmeyer | I'm running virtual box on a mac, so I may have messed up keys... | 17:05 |
| springmeyer | okay | 17:05 |
| CarlFK | you have a few commands at your disposal - tail and more | 17:06 |
| springmeyer | yes, okay... | 17:06 |
| CarlFK | look in the log for something error like | 17:06 |
| springmeyer | only "partman" and "syslog" in /var/log | 17:06 |
| springmeyer | ah ha | 17:07 |
| springmeyer | tail on syslog gives: "no space left on device" | 17:07 |
| springmeyer | so, must be a problem with Virtualbox allocating space to the machine... | 17:07 |
| CarlFK | don't you need to setup a size? | 17:08 |
| springmeyer | well, I just took the default of a couple GB | 17:09 |
| CarlFK | for a desktop install you need 3.5 | 17:09 |
| springmeyer | and I thought it was "expanding", but I'll go back and try again | 17:09 |
| springmeyer | ah, silly me, thanks | 17:10 |
| springmeyer | sorry for the bother - great to learn how to get into terminal mode though, thanks | 17:10 |
| CarlFK | you might want to report a bug that the message isn't very useful | 17:10 |
| CarlFK | alt-f2 alt-f3 are what should get you terms | 17:10 |
| springmeyer | okay | 17:10 |
| CarlFK | 1 is the installer (dialogs, progress) and 4 is the log display | 17:11 |
| springmeyer | great,okay | 17:12 |
| springmeyer | hmm, ya the default MAX size that virtual box has is 2GB. annoying for either new users or non-attentive users(like me) | 17:15 |
