[00:59] <daniel_> i would like to upgrade from kubuntu 10.04LTS to the latest alpha of Kubuntu 10.10.
[01:01] <daniel_> i dont mind using buggy software and helping the ubuntu/kubuntu communities.
[01:03] <daniel_> how can i e able to upgrade to maverick from kubuntu 10.04LTS without downloading an .iso?
[01:07] <yofel> daniel_: make sure that update manager doesn't only show LTS release upgrades (somewhere in software sources) and then use 'sudo update-manager -d' in a terminal. It should show Maverick as available then.
[01:17] <daniel_> ok thank you
[02:35] <psusi> is anyone still having the power management icon show up in the indicator applet when it shouldn't?
[03:05] <DanaG> Updated clutter and Unity... still gives blank desktop.
[03:06] <DanaG> oh,  I see... now clicking the button does something.
[03:06] <DanaG> Still not very useful... all it gives is a search box.
[03:07] <DanaG> And when I start typing in the search box, I get:
[03:07] <DanaG> Searchfirefox
[03:07] <DanaG> .... it doesn't erase the text that's already there.
[03:09] <DanaG> And even when I clear the text, it gives zero results for anything.
[03:09] <DanaG> I hope that's not the intended behavior.
[04:36] <legodude> hi, anyone know how to disable the startup sound in KDE 4.5 in maverick?
[04:37] <legodude> the option seems to have disappeared on me...
[06:55] <napster> Where is Maverick translations in LP?

[11:00] <dupondje> somebody that has vsftpd installed ?
[11:04] <BUGabundo_remote> no
[11:04] <BUGabundo_remote> rn
[11:12] <gnomefreak> is there a limit on MG that Rhythmbox can handle?
[12:45] <The-Compiler> Hi there, someone using Unity? I'm using Maverick + Unity, but when I click on the ubuntu icon, I see that graphic overlay and the search bar like on http://ubuntuxx.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/image7.png  but I don't see the categories nor the apps....
[12:46] <htorque> install unity-place-applications and unity-place-files
[12:46] <htorque> sorry, didn't read carefully
[12:47] <The-Compiler> perfect, thanks!
[12:47] <htorque> ah, that's not your screenshot?
[12:47] <The-Compiler> no
[12:47] <htorque> then my advise was alright :D
[12:48] <The-Compiler> guess so. Nothing did change yet, but I'll restart unity and see ;) (however I need to go now, thanks again!)
[12:49] <htorque> yw :)
[13:13] <cuco> hi all, i need to test a package uploaded to maverik on my 10.04, grub2 to be exact. where can i get it?
[13:14] <cuco> this is because of bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/grub2/+bug/450260
[13:15] <Ian_corne> if the fix is released, you should just update
[13:16] <cuco> if i understand this is fixed for ubuntu+1 which means i have to wait 6 months for the fix :)
[13:16] <cuco> and i kinda want to test it now on ubuntu+0
[13:16] <Ian_corne> you could install that package I guess
[13:17] <cuco> "where can i get it"?
[13:17] <G_A_C> cuco: you could look into "apt-pinning"
[13:18] <G_A_C> this would allow you to have repos for both 10.04 and 10.10 on your system, always use grub2 from 10.10, with deps satisfied from 10.04 where possible, or 10.10 if the packages aren't available in 10.04
[13:18] <G_A_C> it's a bit dangerous though I believe if you get it wrong...
[13:19] <cuco> eventually grub2 will need a newer glibc, i understand
[13:19] <G_A_C> s/a bit/very/ then :)
[13:21] <cuco> so... which repository do you recommend? I usually use the local one which contains only stable
[13:22] <bazhang> you shouldn't mix packages between versions
[13:23] <cuco> bazhang: thanks for the advice
[13:23] <bazhang> that is a recipe for guaranteed breakage
[13:25] <cuco> bazhang: again, thank you. please read the bug report I linked to before and propose a better solution.
[13:25]  * cuco shouts fedora 13, which does support this setup
[13:25]  * cuco runs from the mad ubuntu fans
[13:26] <bazhang> cuco, you are set in using btrfs?
[13:27] <cuco> bazhang: i do want to see how good/bad it is
[13:27] <bazhang> cuco, best way is use the development version then with alternate installer and d-i
[13:27] <cuco> even though the kernel+btrfs utils on ubuntu are too old for this kind of setup (the interesting parts are missing)
[13:28] <cuco> guys, please stop
[13:28] <cuco> i have a working system, it's up and running
[13:28] <cuco> and i found a simple bug - with a simple solution: update grub2 to a newer solution
[13:28] <cuco> s/solution/version/
[13:29] <bazhang> completely unsupported method
[13:29] <cuco> i know, because i am testing something that is unsupported in ubuntu yet.
[13:30] <cuco> the good thing about using linux for 10 years and working for a hw vendor which sells linux machines is that you know the system enough to try risky moves
[13:43] <cuco> wish me good luck, i updated two packages and it seems to work, now i only need to test if the machine boots :)
[13:47] <cuco> ok, seems to work, system is not on fire or something. now i hope someone backports those packages to 10.04, so I can have a regular install :)

[16:47] <BUGabundo_remote> I'm feeling like wither killing NX or X
[16:47] <BUGabundo_remote> damn it
[16:47] <BUGabundo_remote> darn X/UDEV ubugs
[16:47] <BUGabundo_remote> and can't find anyone to help me report it :(
[16:48] <BUGabundo_remote> so if anyone here uses NX could help, I would appreciate
[16:50] <adilalpman> hi all
[16:53] <adilalpman> is pulse-audio will be default sound system for kubuntu and ubuntu 10.10?
[16:53] <adilalpman> or can we choose alternatively it?
[17:11] <adilalpman> can anybodyread me?
[17:11] <om26er> yes
[17:12] <adilalpman> so
[17:12] <adilalpman> can anybody give me an answer if possible :S
[17:19] <Ian_corne> adilalpman: it's the default
[18:36] <DanaG> " Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead."
[18:36] <DanaG> What, does Intel have no non-64-bit processors?
[18:36] <DanaG> =þ
[18:39] <maxb> DanaG: But the assumption is that someone with an Intel processor isn't going to be considering using an "amd64" image, I would think.
[18:42] <DanaG> ah.
[18:43] <patdk-wk> maxb, only if the person using intel, knows that a company called amd exists, and is a intel compeditor :)
[18:44] <Sensiva> I knew that amd64 images are for 64bit processors (whatever the mfg. is) from debian docus
[19:29] <pvandewyngaerd> my screen becomes black when i click the kbluetooth icon in Kubuntu MM, any one else having this ?
[19:38] <patdk-wk> hmm, kernel upgrade
[19:38] <patdk-wk> I wonder if my system will boot
[19:40] <patdk-wk> heh, same issue, kernel root ro option kills boot
[22:28] <BUGabundo> evening
[23:11] <DrHalan> mh. i don't really understand why network-indicator is useing connman
[23:27] <BUGabundo> stupid pidgin imploded
[23:58] <h00k> I've been out for a bit, is btrfs-tools supported by the installer on the daily builds?
