sebsebsebuhmm  so in the morning my vm with btrfs messes up from alternate CD probably since how the Internet connection went or something.  I have just done one though, and logged in twice, and second time I am trying to do updates, and yeah it seems that has just crashed on me.  I guess closing the vm down and trying again may do it though.  On the subject of btrfs  I haven't read up on it properly yet.  I know its just a file system so under the hood,02:05
sebsebsebso not meant to be expecting anything graphical?  What about snapshots how is that done, terminal?02:05
sebsebsebWell lets find out if I can do updates.  At least I didn't have to 100% start over, since I could change the two partitions that were there from when I first tried.02:11
sebsebsebAlso this vm gives me a little error message, when I start it.02:12
sebsebsebOr whatever that is.02:13
jjessegood evening i have a question about maverick, using alpha2 of the netbook edition, running under VirtualBox and when starting up I am prompted with a screen prompting me to either run Ubuntu Netbook or Install, after selecting run, the screen flashes dark and then i get nothing more then a background02:27
sebsebsebFrom alternate ISO above, not CD, and the updates are installed :) (and back in the vm account after a reboot)02:31
sebsebsebjjesse_:  uhmm02:31
jjesse_sorry dropped network connection02:31
sebsebsebjjesse_: yes I saw02:31
sebsebsebright Unity and alpha 2 and Virtualbox02:32
=== jjesse_ is now known as jjesse
sebsebsebI haven't tried myself yet, but other people have02:32
sebsebsebuh I think you missed that02:32
sebsebsebI haven't tried myself yet, but other people have02:32
sebsebseband they had problems02:32
jjesseis unity = to netbook or slightly different?02:32
sebsebsebAlpha 2 is using Unity by default02:33
sebsebsebfor the Netbook Edition02:33
jjessesince i don't usually use ubuntu (normally a kubuntu uesr) is the "install" window new to maverick?02:33
sebsebseband it wants a computer that can do 3D straight away, according to a bug thread that is linked to from the alpha2 page02:33
sebsebsebjjesse: if you mean the ISO, its been quite a while now, if not a rather long time even, where  can  try from the  CD/ISO  in a live session or just install, and I mean the desktop version02:34
jjessei understand that02:35
jjessein kubuntu the selection to either install or boot from the live cd is still text based, not in a window02:35
sebsebsebyou mean the graphical installer?02:35
sebsebsebalternate ISO is text based02:35
jjessei understand that02:35
sebsebsebI don't normally use the netbook versions, but I did test  the beta or whatever for Lucid,  and  I had a vm of  10.10 alpha 1 netbook as well as desktop,  and not tried alpha 2 yet in vm, but I have a feeling I won't get far with it, since  the lack of 3D support02:37
jjessehttp://img580.imageshack.us/img580/3013/screenqi.png is the screen that looks different from kubuntu to ubuntu02:37
jjesseubiquity is letting me do the install, so curious as to what happens02:38
sebsebsebjjesse: ah yes that02:38
jjessesorry if i didn't explain myself02:38
sebsebsebthe alternate CD is like before with the languages and count down for 10.10 alpha 202:38
jjesseis that screen new to maverick or did it come out w/ lucid?02:38
jjesselike i said i  am normally a kubuntu user02:39
sebsebsebThe thing your showing me in the screenshot came with 10.0402:39
jjesseintersting02:39
sebsebsebjjesse: the installer for Ubuntu 10.04 also improved quite a bit02:39
sebsebseba nice slideshow02:39
jjesseso i'm seeing02:39
sebsebsebwell improved slideshow over the 9.10 one02:39
jjesseall things lacking in kubuntu :(02:39
jjessewell kubuntu has a slideshow but not as good02:40
sebsebsebhowever for 10.10 they are planning on doing a completly new installer02:40
sebsebsebjjesse: indeed they focus on Gnome mainly, and KDE hardly at all02:40
sebsebsebloads of people on the web complain about that even02:40
sebsebseband on IRC even at times02:40
sebsebsebjjesse: I know this is an offical Ubuntu channel and all that, so maybe I  shoudn't reallly mention it here, but  theres a Mint KDE  RC now.  and from a screenshot it looked pretty good,  I haven't vm'd tried yet.02:41
sebsebsebMint Gnome uh no thanks for me, but  Mint KDE probably isn't that bad.02:42
IdleOneI think the kubuntu devs would disagree with you about how much time is spent working on kubuntu02:42
jjessei agree02:42
jjessei help out w/ kubuntu devs and also maintain the kubuntu-docs package :)02:43
sebsebsebjjesse: its ashame really about Kubuntu though how for example it won't have a QT version of the Software Centre02:43
sebsebsebI meant Canonical don't focus on it02:43
IdleOneI personally don't use kubuntu because I don't like the kde environment but I know people who do work on the project and they work hard02:43
sebsebsebI read before that apparnatly it only has two Canonical devs02:43
jjessekubuntu hasn't had a decent package manager in a long time02:43
IdleOneCanonical officially supports and sponsors kubuntu.02:44
jjessecanonical only pays 2 devs but officially supports kubuntu02:44
jjessebut i am sorry for digressing the channel02:44
IdleOnejjesse: yeah we went a tad offtopic02:44
IdleOnebut I felt it was worth giving props to the kubuntu devs02:44
sebsebsebjjesse: well there was  hardly anything going on here anyway, but yeah we went a bit offtopic02:44
IdleOnedevs/volunteers02:45
jjessewell we will see what happens in a minute when my install finishes :)02:45

gnomefreakit was around for a month or so02:50
sebsebsebgnomefreak: So this snapshot stuff with btrfs how to do that?02:51
gnomefreaksebsebseb: dont understand what you mean by how to do that?02:51
gnomefreakit will be if not already added to the installer02:52
sebsebsebwell I got a vm now with btrfs and I am wondering how to do stuff with btrfs,  I guess I will need to do some reading or whatever02:52
SensivaCan someone confirm that right clicking a channel entry in channels tree in xchat doesn't show "Add to Favorites" option?02:53
gnomefreaksebsebseb: would be a good idea. Since it is so new to us i dont think there is a guide or if that many people that use it to be advised to02:53
IdleOneSensiva: I have the option02:53
gnomefreakxchat or xchat-gnome02:53
SensivaIdleOne installed from repos?02:53
IdleOnexchat for me02:53
Sensivagnomefreak xchat by zed02:53
IdleOneSensiva: yes from repos, xchat-common to be precise02:54
gnomefreaki dont have that option using xchat on Mozilla servers02:54
sebsebsebgnomefreak: well there was a btrfs guy / filesystem guy around, but hes not active here at the moment02:54
SensivaIdleOne did you try to compile from source once before?02:54
IdleOneSensiva: never02:54
Sensivahmm02:54
sebsebsebgnomefreak: your second bit, your saying loads of people shoudn't be using it?02:55
IdleOneI have always used the xchat-common from repos02:55
gnomefreakSensiva: no clue who you are reffering to02:55
Sensivaso gnomefreak doesn't have the option, and IdleOne and me have it02:55
gnomefreakSensiva: no i meant was not that many people have used it i suspect02:55
Sensivaand I tried check on a vbox and it wasn't there02:55
IdleOneSensiva: I came accros a couple of people in #xchat that did not have it either02:55
gnomefreakSensiva: right clicking on a channel?02:56
SensivaIdleOne 32 or 64?02:56
IdleOne6402:56
Sensivagnomefreak right clicking on a channel entry in the tree02:56
sebsebsebgnomefreak: did you just message Sensiva instead of me by mistake?02:56
IdleOnegnomefreak: right click on channel name in tree02:56
gnomefreakIdleOne: i dont have that option i only have a couple of things02:57
IdleOnein maverick correct?02:57

BluesKajis 10.10 using gnome 3 ?15:15
iddoBluesKaj: it won't use gnome-shell by default15:17
BluesKajiddo, excellent , thanks... I'm thinking of switching my desktop from kde to the new gnome 2.3 , altho i still object to default top of the screen panel , is a bottom panel optional yet /15:24
BluesKaj?15:25
BluesKaj<----- old windows guy...old habits die hard :)15:26
iddobtw if u use laptop then unity is the new default, vertical panel on left, good for wide screen space15:26
iddoi think gnome-shell has activities on left, and panel on top15:27
iddobut old gnome-panel you could move to bottom without problems15:28
BluesKajI have a laptop but I don't experiment with it , iddo ...my desktop is where do my fooling around, so to speak15:28
iddook if u like to experiment then u can install alpha2 and then try to apt-get install gnome-shell15:29
BluesKajI also have an ubuntu server on the network for media and backup15:29
iddothe desktop image still comes with compiz by default15:30
BluesKajiddo , do you recommend removing kubuntu-desktop/kde ?15:30
iddou mean first dist-upgrade instead of clean install?15:31
iddoi guess dist-upgrade from kubuntu will install latest kde, but i guess gnome-shell will be in repositories?15:33
BluesKajyeah i was thinking of a do-release upgrade -d , and then sudo sed -i 's/lucid/maverick/' /etc/apt/sources.list , then installing gnome-shell , after removing kde ...complicated , maybe I'll mess up15:33
iddosome people like to keep /home on different partition for their configs and do clean install for / parition15:36
iddoor u can just backup your home dir stuff and do clean install, probably less chance to have problems this way, especially if u plan to switch from kde to gnome anyway15:37
iddoif u really want to experiment u can install with btrfs filesystem instead of ext415:38
BluesKajiddo, yeah i'll just do clean install, and any nondefault apps save the config files anyway ... ext4 is experimental enough for me15:39
BluesKajas long as i don't format, that is.15:40
iddowhy not format?15:41
BluesKajno need15:42
iddoclean install without format?15:42
BluesKajyes15:42
BluesKajno need for backing up files15:42
iddoso u delete dirs in / ?15:43
BluesKajI'll drop to a tty and remove kde15:44
BluesKajno i don't delete dirs15:44
iddoi think we have different meanings to the term clean install15:44
BluesKajnot really my clean install isn't actually a proper clean install as such, it's more .like15:45
BluesKaja reinstall15:45
iddowhat happens if u dont delete /usr and so on, and then do new install there?15:47
iddoi think the installer doesnt let u proceed without format15:47
BluesKaji have done clean installs after formatting tho , but sometimes just a reinstall is necessary after stuff breaks and can't be fixed15:47
BluesKajiddo, yes it does, one just uses manual partitioning15:48

soadkombuchaWhy can't I remove PulseAudio without removing Ubuntu-Desktop?17:05
IdleOne soadkombucha: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. you can safely remove it and then re-install later17:05
IdleOnesoadkombucha: no it is not the entire desktop17:06
IdleOneit is basically a list of packages that need to be installed17:06
soadkombuchaLet me try a reboot after "sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio" and "sudo ./realtekaudiodrivers.sh" to see if I have sound17:06
IdleOnewhen you install ubuntu-desktop it calls a list of packages. those packages get installed. when you remove ubuntu-desktop it removes only the list17:07
